After swabbing the poop deck in the sluttiest sailor outfit ever created on Dancing with the Stars last night, Nicole Scherzinger appeared on Lopez Tonight, discussing her forthcoming recording plans and making all sorts of strange noises.

Nicole also discusses her collaboration with Slash and Alice Cooper, and “spontaneously” bursts out in song a few times. Feel free to watch Nicole’s entire interview with George Lopez above, but really, here are the only 11 seconds you need to see:

Nicole also gives an anecdote about telling her mother she’s doing a duet with Sting, to which Momma Scherzinger replied, “That’s nice… when are you gonna do that Dancing with the Stars show?” Oh, mothers and their reality TV!

Not too shabby for two professional dancers.

Well, if nothing else, it appears as though she and Derek gave a brilliant homage to the “Mother Boy” episode from Arrested Development:
