A boombox is not a toy
Imagine my joy when SNL featured a Digital Short this past weekend of my favorite track off the Lonely Island CD, Boombox. Julian Casablancas from the Strokes appears, as he provided vocals for the song. The video pretty much tells the story I envisioned in my head, and any song and/or video that references the 1990 hit Do the Bartman is aces in my book.Tags: 00s music, 10s tv, 90s music, andy samberg, digital short, do the bartman, julian casablancas, saturday night live, snl, the lonely island, the simpsons, the strokes

I’m a mother lover, you’re a mother lover, we should love each other’s mothers
Andy Samberg and Justin Timberlake offered up an eyebrow raising follow up to Dick In a Box, this time a wonderfully inappropriate Mother’s Day seduction song called Motherlover. Susan Sarandon plays Samberg’s mom and Patricia Clarkson plays Timberlake’s mom. Each of them tries to seduce the other one’s mom as a gift for Mother’s Day. Lyrics after the video.Dick In a Box actually won a fricken Emmy. I wonder if this will follow in its footsteps. Motherlover was directed by The Lonely Island dudes, Akiva Shaffer and Jorma Taccone.
The lyrics to Motherlover:
Andy Samberg: Oh dang…
Justin Timberlake: What is it dawg?
AS: I forgot it’s Mother’s Day
JT: Didn’t get a gift for her
AS: Other plans got in the way
She’ll be so disappointed
JT: Damn I forgot it too
AS: This could have been avoided
Both: What the hell are we gonna do?JT: My mom’s been so forlorn ever since my daddy left.
AS: COLD
JT: No one to hold her tight, life has put her to the test.
AS: I know just what you mean, my mom’s been so sad and gray
JT: Word
AS: My dad can’t satisfy her in the bedroom ever since he passed awayBoth: Hold up
AS: You thinkin’ what I’m thinkin’?
JT: I’m thinkin’ I’m thinkin’ too
Both: Slow up
AS: What time is it dawg?
JT: It’s time for a switcharoo
Both: We both love our moms, women with grown women needs
I say we break ‘em off and show ‘em how much they really meanCHORUS:
’cause I’m a mother lover, you’re a mother lover
We should fuck each other’s mothers
Fuck each other’s moms
I’m pushin’ that lady where you came out as a baby
ain’t no doubt that shit is crazy
Fuckin’ each others moms
’cause every Mother’s Day needs a Mother’s Night
If doing it is wrong, I don’t wanna be right
I’m callin’ on you ’cause I can’t do it myself
to me your like a brother, so be my MotherloverAS: I’m layin’ in the cut waitin’ for your mom clutchin’ on this lube and roses
JT: I got my digital camera, I’m gonna make your momma do a million poses
AS: They will be so surprised
JT: We are so cool and thoughtful
AS: Can’t wait to pork your mom
JT: I’m gonna be the syrup, she can be my waffle
Both: Sho’ Nuff
JT: My mother loves bubble bath with chamomile
Both: Straight up
AS: Give it to my mom d- d- d- d- d- d- doggie-style
Both: This the perfect plan
For a perfect Mother’s Day
They have to rename this one
All up under the covers dayCHORUS:
’cause I’m a mother lover, you’re a mother lover
We should fuck each other’s mothers
Fuck each other’s moms
I’m pushin’ that lady where you came out as a baby
ain’t no doubt that shit is crazy
Fuckin’ each others moms
AS: Break it down
It would be my honor to be your new stepfather
JT: It would be my honor to be your new stepfather
AS: I’ll let you do my mother, make me another brother
and I’m gonna do your mother
I’ll never use a rubber
JT: OH’cause every Mother’s Day needs a Mother’s Night
If doing it is wrong, I don’t wanna be right
I’m callin’ on you ’cause I can’t do it myself
to me you’re like a brother, so be my mother lover
They blessed us both with the gift of life
She brought you in this world so I’m a sex her right
This is the second best idea that we’ve ever had
The choice can be no other
Be my mother loverHappy Mother’s Day

Shawty… Everything sounds better auto-tuned
Cher, T-Pain, and Kanye West are probably onto something with this Auto-tune vocal effect thing, but no-one perhaps sounds as good as Katie Couric. Michael Gregory (who you may recognize from this American Idol audition) and his brother Andrew Gregory decided to Auto-tune the news.The lyrics are below. This is the second installment of “Auto-Tune The News“. The first one is here.
Auto-tune is a program by Antares that pitch corrects the voice. Over-correcting the voice processor makes it sound a little funky, which is the method Cher popularized in her song, Do You Believe back in the 1998s. When Jamie and I shared at office a number of years ago, we would listen to Mix 93.1 most days. For some reason it became a little tradition for me (and maybe Jamie too, I can’t remember) to stand on our chairs and dance whenever Cher’s Do You Believe came on the radio. Perhaps it was the entrancing nature of the Auto-Tune effect processor, who knows.
Besides Cher, T-Pain has pretty much made his whole career using Auto-tune and bringing it into popularity with R&B and rap music. But his best work is probably I’m On A Boat with the dudes from The Lonely Island.
Thanks to Jeff for cracking an egg of knowledge about this. Lyrics to Auto-Tune The News #2 after the break… (more…)

You say I’m premature, I just call it ecstasy
SNL Digital Shorts. They’re just awesome. The latest, Jizz In My Pants, follows a long line of hilarious Andy Samberg-penned gems.
Appearances by Jamie Lynn Sigler (as the cashier), Molly Sims (the model), Justin Timberlake (the janitor), and Jorma Taccone from The Lonely Island.

Lazy Sunday
Ever since Andy Samberg and the fine fellows at Lonely Island made Lazy Sunday, SNL has embraced the idea ‘Digital Short’ fully. Thank god, because there have been some real gems since. There have been a bunch of parodies and many many homages (with a particularly good one being Lazy Scranton), but the original is still king.
Who has seen this and hasn’t songspoken it?
