I think everyone, including myself, can appreciate a few white guys rapping to some basic samples about the most ridiculous topics-- being on a boat, creative gifts, Natalie Portman and many more. Even better? Some of them are accompanied by some of the most funniest videos you will ever see. Many of them were shorts featured on Saturday Night Live. I caught myself watching these shorts over and over again with classmates during my JR 600A class last semester. Most of us left the class with these songs stuck in our heads. Since when is it normal to sing about someone "jizzing" in their pants? Don't worry. I didn't sing these songs out loud in public.The Lonely Island, which features Andy Samberg, Akiva Schaffer and Jorma Taccone, released Incredibad on February 10. This album is 19 tracks full of hilarious songs with guest appearances with Julian Casablancas from The Strokes, Norah Jones, Natalie Portman, T-Pain and Justin Timberlake.
It's difficult for me to pick a favorite song because they're all different and funny in their own way. True, some of them are just corny, but you can't help but laugh. The CD features a DVD with videos for some of the songs, but I'm disappointed that it doesn't feature my favorite video of the moment, "I'm on a Boat," which honestly looks like a white guy's version of a Jay-Z video.
Listening to this CD is pretty entertaining, but I don't see myself listening to it repeatedly like other albums. If you need a good laugh or some ridiculousness in your life, I would recommend listening to this.
I leave you now with a song that often describes my Sundays-- lazy.
Oh, and if you want to meet these guys, they're coming to Newbury Comics in Faneuil Hall to do a signing and a Q&A. It's quite tempting, I must say.
