They stopped by to perform an “original composition” as the “winners” of the first-ever _The Voice_ contest on Weekend Update. Wearing matching blue sweaters and barbershop-quartet-style boater hats, they each introduced themselves slyly before Murray surprised the crowd with his appearance. “Right now, for me, it’s all about our music,” Murray explained to the hosts, before the foursome brought on a troupe of backup singers and launched into their jubilant rendition of the Cubs song, the [1984 classic “Go Cubs Go.”](http://time.com/4556535/go-cubs-go-song-history/?iid=sr-link1) “Hey Chicago, what do you say / The Cubs are gonna win today,” they sing. While it’s probably fair to say that none of the four would make it very far on the real version of _The Voice_, the triumphant song will bring joy to any Cubs fan.
