Michael Bolton hits the stage at the 2011 Emmy Awards held at Nokia Theatre L.A. Live on Sunday (September 18) in Los Angeles.

The 58-year-old singer reprised his role as everyone’s favorite pirate, Jack Sparrow, during a performance of Andy Samberg & The Lonely Island‘s nominated songs in the Outstanding Original Music or Lyrics category.

Andy, Maya Rudolph, and Akon also hit the stage to perform songs such as “I Just Had Sex,” “3-Way (The Golden Rule),” and “Jack Sparrow.”

None of the songs won the award as it went to Justin Timberlake for his monologue on Saturday Night Live.

The highlight of this weekend’s Saturday Night Live was the “I Just Had Sex” digital short.

The Akon-heavy track featured Hollywood babes Blake Lively and Jessica Alba in addition to tennis champ John McEnroe.

The chorus goes, “I just had sex and it felt so good. A woman let me put my penis inside of her.” Hilarious!

FYI: The track is off his upcoming album, Michael, due out on Tuesday (December 14).
