Who Said They’re “Wack”? The Lonely Island Plan New Album
Blame the incredibly long shadow of “Weird Al” Yankovic or the crop of so many dime-a-dozen parodists dropping quickly-crafted goofs on YouTube, but it always feels that The Lonely Island are criminally underrated. Sure, the trio of writer/actors Andy Samberg, Jorma Taccome and Akiva Schaeffer have earned plenty of acclaim for their daffy song satire, thanks to their beloved Digital Shorts on Saturday Night Live , where Samberg acted and Taccome wrote for several years. Some of these clips, including the ’90s R&B pastiche “ Dick in a Box ” […]
The Idiot Box: SNL Parodies Gotye’s “Somebody That I Used To Know”
Have you figured out yet how madly in love I am with Gotye’s “Someone That I Used To Know”? I missed this weekend’s episode of “Saturday Night Live” (Josh Brolin…meh…) but this skit containing Taran Killam (SNL’s MVP this season,) the always dependable Andy Samberg and Gotye himself is pretty damn hilarious. At least the guy’s a good sport, right?
Spin Cycle: “Turtleneck & Chain” by The Lonely Island
It’s pretty fair to say that Andy Samberg has been one of the best things to happen to “Saturday Night Live” in the past ten years. A show that had become completely buzz-less picked up steam when Samberg started out with his Digital Shorts. Aided by his buddies Jorma Taccone and Akiva Schaffer and celebrity cameos from everyone from Natalie Portman to Adam Levine, Samberg has provided plenty of watercooler moments over the past five years. Compiling those skits with […]

Raphael Saadiq–Stone Rollin‘: Following the critically acclaimed The Way I See It, former Tony Toni Tone/Lucy Pearl frontman Raphael Saadiq continues to mine the depths of classic R&B on this, his fourth […]
The Viewfinder: “Captain Jack Sparrow” by The Lonely Island
Those crazy cutups from The Lonely Island have struck music/comedy gold once again. This time, they’ve done it with the help of the one and only Michael Bolton. “Captain Jack Sparrow” us the latest single and video from the group’s new album, Turtleneck & Chain, which comes out tomorrow. Bolton is his usual overwrought self on the chorus, but his presence in the song’s video is completely epic. Whoever saw fit to put Bolton in a variety of different guises, […]
The Viewfinder: “I Just Had Sex” by The Lonely Island
Check out The Lonely Island’s new video, “I Just Had Sex”, featuring Akon.
The Lonely Island Welcomes Jack Johnson (Or Not So Much)
Never thought you’d ever see a fight scene in a Jack Johnson video? Well, turns out the mellow surfer dude has a bit of a mean streak in him. In the new video for “At or With Me”, Jack finds himself being heckled by Andy Samberg and his Lonely Island buddies while playing. Needless to say, hilarity ensues. Samberg remains one of the few reasons to watch “Saturday Night Live”, and Jack reveals a previously unseen sense of humor in […]
