After a week of searching I'm starting to think my memory is
faulty... In one of Phil Hartman's Sinatra sketches, he yells at
Sinead O'Connor, either "Get away from me, ya bald-headed
freak!", or "Get outta here, ya bald-headed freak!"

I've checked SNL's Duets sketch, and also The Sinatra Group
(was there more than one), and couldn't find this particular line
in either sketch. Anyone remember if/when he ever said it?

Thanks much.

If I remember correctly, it was a spoof of "The McLaughlin Group." Jan
Hooks played Sinead, and Hartman had a new nickname for her each time
he addressed her: Cue ball, Mr. Clean, etc. If I had to guess, I would
say it was around 1987 or 1988.

Well, it depends on how many had the Sinead character... My favorite was
when Sting had to be hosting, because he played 'Billy Idol'

So, see if that narrows it down....

It was 1990.

"Uncle Fester" was one of the comebacks. That was a good one!

Favorite line...

Frank Sinatra: You don't scare me. I've got chunks of guys like you in my
stool!

Thanks guys, but that sketch (or the Sinatra Group sketch)
doesn't contain the line I'm looking for. Anyone remember
if both Hartman/Sinatra and Hooks/O'Connor were in one
of SNL's fundraising parodies (Live Aid etc)?

Could it have been the music awards show with Sinead O'Connor (Jan
Hooks), Bono (Alec Baldwin--"Am I buggin' ya?"), Tracey Chapman (Tim
Meadows--"Everybody do that funky wa-wa!"), Wilson Phillips (Chris
Farley as Carnie Wilson), Frank Sinatra (Phil Hartman--"I'm from the
old school; when they give you an award, you show up!"), Paul McCartney
(Dana Carvey), and Phil Collins (Mike Myers--"I'd like to thank my
account, Marty Lefkowitz...we did it, Lefky!")?

I don't remember the name of that, but it had Sinead and Sinatra
interacting, so it might be the one you want. And I'm pretty sure Alec
Baldwin was the host because he was Bono, so look for SNLs from around
1989-1991 where Baldwin hosted.

Update: It was called "The Sinead O'Connor Awards" (
