Sometimes the most ridiculous combinations can make for the best entertainment.
The Lonely Island‘s debut album Incredibad is one of the wonderfully unexpected hybrids.
Mixing rap and stand-up comedy, Incredibad makes you want to dance and laugh at the same time.
The Lonely Island is Akiva Schaffer, Jorma Taccone and Andy Samberg, who are best known for their “Digital Shorts” on Saturday Night Live.
Possibly the two best songs on the cd are “J**z in my Pants” and “I’m on a Boat.”
Both songs have hysterical music videos that accompany them.
“J**z in my Pants” features Justin Timberlake, though he does not actually sing throughout the entire song, simply playing the janitor in the background.
“I’m on a Boat” features T-Pain and details how this guy wins a boat ride and feels like the coolest person alive because of it.
T-pain sings “Yeah, never thought I’d be on a boat/It’s a big blue watery road (yeah)/Poseidon! Look at me, oh (all hands on deck)/Never thought I’d see the day/When a big boat comin’ my way/Believe me when I say, I f***** a mermaid”
The song is absurd and completely uncool, but so funny you cannot help but want to play it over and over again.
Plus the fact that, putting T-Pain in a song pretty much ensures a money-making hit.
The CD also features Jack Black, Nora Jones and E-40.
