The hills are alive with the sound of Kristen Wiig.

The former Saturday Night Live cast member returned to her old stomping grounds to play a member of the Von Trapp clan in this week's sketch parodying The Sound of Music Live .

The musical — reinterpreted for NBC, starring Carrie Underwood — devoured ratings when it aired last week, making it the perfect bait for SNL's cold open. Not to mention that watching Wiig's beloved Dooneese character of "Lawrence Welk Show" fame trying to fit into the perfect Austrian family is as glorious as it sounds.

And while she may not be as musically inclined or graceful as Liesel, Louisa, Brigitta, or the rest, you can't deny, the girl's got style. Who cares about Do-Re-Mi when Wiig can eat a frog and harass Fraulein Maria?
