My Mic (Interlude) - The Lonely Island

This reminds me of the "phone voice" SNL skit that Andy did with Bill Hader and Seth Rogen. Makes me curious if one of the Dudes wrote that SNL skit or if this was simply inspired by it.

The choir bit at the end made it worth it to me. I think it's pretty funny.

What did you think of this interlude? Was it funny?

"Trouble on Dookie Island" song - The Lonely Island

WARNING: Explicit language.

We're continuing our tour of the Turtleneck & Chain album.



Um, this song is about robbing a bank while poop is coming out of your clothes?

Hmmm.

Do you like it? I didn't.

If you like to listen to it, buy it off iTunes.

Andy Samberg interview - Comedy Bang Bang

Comedy Bang Bang is a high-spirited get-together between host Scott Aukerman ("Mr. Show", Producer of "Between Two Ferns") and his funny friends! You can expect conversation, music, improv, games, and most importantly plugs.



Here's an intro video to Scott's show in general:



The Andy Samberg Special

This is a show for lovers of Hollywood, pizza, marijuana, and plane breaks. Our guest this week is Andy Samberg from The Lonely Island and Saturday Night Live who gives us the inside scoop on creating a record and working with talents like Justin Timberlake and Lady Gaga. There is an unfortunate appearance by Scott’s weed guy Bro, but we make up for it with a great game of Would You Rather and the first Comedy Bang Bang semi-prank call. And yes, there are plane breaks.

The Lonely Island - "Japan" (song)

Hahahahaha. I think they should do a video for it that's not on SNL.

Pretty funny!

Did you enjoy it? Do you want a video made for it?

It sounds like they intended to turn it into a video. So funny. I think that would be hilarious!

Remember to buy it off iTunes if you're going to listen to it repeatedly.

The Lonely Island - "After Party" (Song, Featuring Santigold)

UPDATE: Good comment from Katie we added below as a question. Originally posted 6/23/11.

Is this a sequel to Ji$$ in My Pants???

We continue our showcase of Turtleneck and Chain songs.

WARNING: Explicit language.



QUESTION FROM KATIE: Did anybody else hear the return of "f***ing the brains out of a giant fish"? (Leave a comment below with any thoughts about it. Of course, that's originally from Like a Boss.)

This song is pretty cool.

Not as good of a concept as Ji$$ of course.

Buy it on iTunes.

Here it is faster:



I think this might make an okay music video, but I'd rather see Japan, Attracted to Us, Rocky, and Turtleneck and Chain get music videos.

What do you want to see get a music video? Or should TLI just move on instead?

Leave a comment if the video gets removed!

The song is featuring Santigold, but it sounds like Lady Gaga. That's cuz Santigold's got the gold. Here she is in Creator:



Enjoy!

The Lonely Island - "Rocky" (song)

Hahahaha.



"And onto some kids." Hahahaha

Remember to buy it on iTunes if you're going to listen to it a lot.

Oh, this is another one that deserves a video. Great how it makes fun of the old "story" raps.

Do you think it deserves a video? I wonder if Stallone would do it? That would be awesome!!!

Leave a comment and let us know if they pull this video off.

Enjoy!

Falcor Vs. Atreyu (Classy Skit #1) - The Lonely Island

This is Andy and Jorma joking around.

I don't know, man. At first I thought this isn't all that classy or great.

But then it started to wear on me, and it at least makes me smile.

What do you think?

Enjoy!

Watch Me Do Me (Classy Skit #2) - The Lonely Island

Hmm. Pretty gross.



So my guess is that Jorma was pitching this as a song (thus the song-like beginning), and they decided to just turn it into a short skit and not invest time into making it a full song.

Also the way this song begins sounds a LOT like "We're Back", so they probably decided to go with that as the full song instead.

Thoughts? Do you like this?

Enjoy!

The Lonely Island - Turtleneck & Chain (song) Featuring Snoop Dogg

Updated with new vid and the chipmunk version. Originally posted on 5/17/11.



Here's the song. Make sure you buy it though if you're going to listen to it. It's probably just $1 for the single.

It's a little silly, even musically, but it's catchy.

And here's the chipmunk version:



Do you like it?

I think Andy's funny. He raps his part in his Mark Wahlberg impression voice! I hope they make a video for this!

Do you think they should?

Andy Samberg - Ryan Seacrest interview

Andy Samberg talks about the SNL season finale.

Thanks to Amy H for the scoop!

http://www.kiisfm.com/cc-common/podcast/single_page.html?podcast=onair&selected_podcast=andy%2520samberg%2520051911.mp3



SNL’s funny guy Andy Samberg phoned in to “On Air with Ryan Seacrest” Thursday to chat upcoming SNL finale with Justin Timberlake and musical guest Lady Gaga.

As for how Andy and Justin come up with the hilarious material, (a la “D*** In A Box), Andy explains, “it’s kind of just lock the door and throw out every idea every one has and see what sticks.” Adding, “we’re stil sort of just right in the middle of it so I couldnt give you a spoiler even if I wanted to.”

Andy goes on to explain they then contemplate, “is it going to be a song or something else or more sketchy or impression, character based.” Furthering, “then we talk it down with him and everyone meets with him… wait until there are the main picks and then you decide what the show needs as well.”

As far as musical guest Lady Gaga goes, Samberg suggests the mother of all monsters may be doing more than just singing! Expressing, “I certainly hope so” as for if she’ll participate in the funny, adding, “she’s a born entertainer, she was ‘Born This Way’.”

Andy also says:

I'm glad I can help (about Michael Bolton). He came tough on that track, right?

I swam with sharks. Did you swin with hunks?

"Attracted to Us" song - The Lonely Island with Beck

So this plays off the same theme as Shy Ronnie.

Andy Samberg

While the magazine just plucked a snippet of our chattings, THIS IS THE FULL UNEDITED AUDIO! Just for you! You can see some of it with your eyes and then absorb the rest of it with your ears! Andy is a solid dude. It was a genuine pleasure to sit down with him and trade words.

They start by playing Space Olympics (parental advisory: explicit lyrics), and then Andy talks over the song. =^)

Andy doesn't give much details of his dinner. Maybe he likes privacy.

They played KaBlamo! That one should have been on the CD or at least the DVD.



Andy: "Hey, ghosts! Heeeey! Ghosts!" =^)

They also play old school "Stork Patrol," Kiv's "I Killed the President," and "Ardy Rocks the Party."

Andy reveals that Jorma and Akiva are in New Mexico shooting MacGruber. Akiva & Jorma texted back that MacGruber is coming in spring 2010.

Andy says he wanted to film a music video for Boombox, but they ran out of SNLs.

The comedian, Shooter, is painful (I so hope he's being painful on purpose; but I doubt it cuz that would be horrible promotion). But the dudes saved it at the end.

What's that "Metaphor" song right at the end?

Transcript

Jason Eldredge: Hey it’s Jason Eldredge from KCRW and I’m here with Andy Samberg who is a member of the comedy troupe The Lonely Island and also a cast member of Saturday Night Live. Andy is here for KCRW’s Guest DJ Project. How are you doing?

Andy Samberg: I’m good, how are you?

Jason Eldredge.: I’m doing well. So you’ve brought a selection of songs. A very eclectic collection, I have to say. It’s very nice so…

Andy Samberg: Thank you. Yeah, I went out of my way to do that.

Jason Eldredge.: That’s good, that’s very good.

Andy Samberg: Don’t put too much on these songs. I love these songs but I couldn’t ever whittle it down to five, so I just picked songs I like right now and tried to keep it eclectic.

Jason Eldredge: Well, why don’t we jump right into the first one here.

Andy Samberg: This first hot track is entitled ‘Jah Jah City’ by reggae dancehall artist Capleton.

It’s basically the jammy slammy. I mean, I think everyone -- critics and fans alike -- can agree on that. Me and all my friends growing up in Berkeley, in high school and in college, dancehall was a huge part of our lives and we got really into Sizzla and Capleton and, you know, Bounty Killer…the guys!

Jason Eldredge: The standards.

Andy Samberg: All kinds of cool stuff. But this song in particular, this one always when it comes on everyone at the party everyone goes aaaAAAHH. A good jam is a good jam.

Song: Capleton’s “Jah Jah City”

Jason Eldredge: This next song is, you know, a little naughty.

Andy Samberg: It’s got a different tone.

Jason Eldredge: It does for sure.

Andy Samberg: It’s Ghostface, “The Champ.” I mean hot, hot killer track right here.

I got this album pretty much as soon as it came out. I think I was at work at SNL and we started listening to it and this song came on and me and Akiva share an office and we were all just like like ‘Ohhhhhhhhh that’s a good beat!” And it’s Just Blaze, who is by far one of my favorite beat makers in hip hop. I think of him as sort of carrying the Premiere torch in terms of like that really raw dog hip hop, you know the stuff that really makes you nod your head and get out of your seat and just jam. (laughs)

And let me just say “The Champ” by Ghostface Killah is no exception. I mean it really delivers the goodies. It takes it straight to all the heads. Streets definitely want this track. And they got it. Just Blaze and Ghostface gave it right to them.

Jason Eldredge: Streets and NBC offices alike.

Song: Ghostface Killah’s “The Champ”

Jason Eldredge: You know, one really follows up Ghostface with Roberta Flack.

Andy Samberg: Yeah.

Jason Eldredge: It’s a logical progression.

Jason Eldredge: And especially a song like this.

Andy Samberg: Especially a song like this, “Do What You Gotta Do.” It’s really, really aggressive and angry.

Jason Eldredge: It caused a lot of riots back in the 70’s, as I understand.

Andy Samberg: This song is on an album of hers that my parents had and my mom loves Roberta Flack. In junior high and high school, I got really into their record collection and would put on the head phones and listen to all the old music they had and this song for some reason always just stuck out to me as one that I really loved. Put it on a lot of mix tapes, if you know what I mean.

Jason Eldredge: Yeah, it’s a sad one.

Andy Samberg: It is really sad. It’s weird how even though the sentiment of the song is really like a bummer, it always kind of makes me happy. It’s so pretty…dare I say? That it kind of transcends what’s being said -- for me. But anyways… it’s good.

Jason Eldredge: It is good so let’s -- this is a selection from a childhood of Andy Samberg. It’s Roberta Flack with “Do What You Gotta Do” on KCRW.

Andy Samberg: Put your guns in the air.

Song: Roberta Flack’s “Do What You Gotta Do”

Jason Eldredge: I’m Jason Eldredge. It’s KCRW’s Guest DJ Project. I’m sitting here with Andy Samberg and we are talking - and laughing - about all of these songs that Andy has brought in today and why don’t you go ahead and introduce this next selection.

Andy Samberg: I love Beirut. I buy all of his stuff. And I know his name is not Beirut. It’s like Nine Inch Nails -- you say he instead of they because it’s one dude -- but I love it when he does a little more electro. The new double EP package thing he just put out, half of them are this style as well, and this song is on there too. But I don’t really have a ton to say about it particularly, I just really like the song.

Jason Eldredge: Let’s just listen to it. It’s “My Night With a Prostitute From Marsaille” which is quite a mouthful to say.

Andy Samberg: Is it based on a true story? Who’s to say?

Jason Eldredge: Possibly.

Andy Samberg: Who knows. Who really knows.

Song: Beirut’s “My Night With a Prostitute From Marsaille”

Jason Eldredge: That song is “My Night With a Prostitute From Marsaille.” You were talking about how you sort of enjoy his electro stuff a little bit more. This next song definitely leans in that direction as well. Why don’t you talk about the next selection.

Andy Samberg: The next selection is “Ask Me Anything” by The Strokies. That is actually what their official name is, they changed it like Santigold. They go by the Strokies now.

Jason Eldredge: For legal reasons.

Andy Samberg: This song is the one that is super low key and Julian keeps saying ‘I’ve got nothing to say.’ When this album actually came out -- I’m a massive die hard Strokes fan and obviously now buddies with Julian, and he did a song on Lonely Island also which I love called “Boom Box” -- but before I knew him, I loved this song and all their albums, honestly. But this song, I just like cause it seemed like it was risky for them to do this song. It’s really stripped down and I just kinda like the whole vibe of it. It almost, in a weird way, reminds of a Beatles song. But then it’s not. Because it’s by The Strokies.

Song: The Strokes’ “Ask Me Anything”

Jason Eldredge: Alright, thank you so much Andy for coming in.

Andy Samberg: Thank you for having me.

Jason Eldredge: And being on KCRW’s Guest DJ Project.

Andy Samberg: Fantastic. Thanks man.

Andy Samberg - Audio interview with Showbiz Monkeys

Interview: Andy Samberg, Jorma Taccone, and Akiva Schaffer of The Lonely Island

The Lonely Island -- the comedy collective featuring Saturday Night Live star Andy Samberg and SNL writers Jorma Taccone and Akiva Schaffer -- recently released an album featuring a mix of songs that were at one point SNL Digital Shorts and a host of new tracks (many with guest vocals from stars like Jack Black and Norah Jones). That album, Incredibad, surprised many by debuting at #13 on the Billboard charts a few weeks back, but for the many who watch SNL every week hoping to check out their latest work and helped make their videos the most-watched on YouTube, it wasn't much of a surprise at all.


ShowbizMonkeys.com has featured The Lonely Island a lot over the last couple years, which is why it's so great to see them on top of the comedy world. Besides the new record, Samberg can be seen in the comedy I Love You, Man (coming out this week) and Taccone will be in this summer's action comedy Land of the Lost with Will Ferrell. Yet despite their recent success, these three friends who met in Junior High and started making comedy videos and posting them on TheLonelyIsland.com back in 2001 are still as nice and down-to-earth as anyone.

After interviews with Samberg in 2007 and Taccone (and Lonely Island collaborator Chester Tam) in early 2008, I finally had the chance to talk to all three of them at once. In the audio clip below, the Dudes explain their thoughts on the album's early success, what classic Lonely Island track everyone should check out, and why if you're reading this right now, you can't be a "fan" of ShowbizMonkeys.com.
