And even if you didn’t watch SNL last week I know you have heard about the Justin Timberlake collaboration a couple of years ago with Samberg called “Dick in a box”. Sound familiar?
Samberg and company have done other tunes including “I just had sex”, “Jizz in my pants”, “Bing Bing Brothers”, “Mother Lover” and others.
The music videos started as digital shorts on SNL and have grown into the full blown comedy group known as the “The Lonely Island”.
Samberg credits his arrival on Saturday Night Live to late night host Jimmy Fallon. Andy was writing jokes for Fallon who asked him to audition for Lorne Michaels – and the rest is history.
Anyway, their new album is available today and the following video is from the title track “Turtleneck & Chains”
