Scarlett Johansson is sexy, and thanks to Her, we know for a fact that her voice alone is enough to make you give undivided attention.

So, how perfect was it that ScarJo just so happened to be around to lend her titillating vocals to Saturday Night Live alum Mike O'Brien's new project, Tasty Radio.

On October 30, the celeb will release a new comedy album of that name, which will include the track, "Sexy Bible," which features Johansson reading passages from the Book of Deuteronomy on WSEX, Sexy Talk Radio.

After revealing that he'd need help making the Old Testament sound sexy (understandable), O'Brien finds out that the blond bombshell is outside in the hallway. So, of course, she gets designated the task and really goes with it.

Her low, breathy tone will make you feel slightly uncomfortable. But you can't stop listening. And O'Brien put it best: "Oh, s--t. That felt sexy."

"I've always wanted to do a sketch about the Old Testament, specifically Deuteronomy," O'Brien told Rolling Stone.

"The Old Testament is filled with beautiful stuff, but also some weirdly specific, random rules and speeches. Deuteronomy could be called 'Laws for Stuff That Will Never Apply to 99% of Civilization,' like what to do with a dead animal you find [or] what to do to a woman who grabs the junk of a guy who her husband is fighting. [It's] a very funny time capsule of what those guys were worried about back then."

He continued, "I wasn't sure what the comedic take would be when I first became obsessed with Deuteronomy, but I knew a female should be delivering most of it because a lot of the quotes are very misogynistic and who wants to hear a guy make fun of that. I was so thrilled that Scarlett said she'd do it. We actually did another, half-improvised sketch after finishing 'Sexy Bible.' I'll probably release the other one later on."

Until then, you can listen to Tasty Radio when it drops on Friday, which will also feature Cecily Strong, Jason Sudeikis, Fred Armisen, John Mulaney and Seth Meyers.
