This Wins the Week

Absolutely and totally pillaged from [livejournal.com profile] giandujakiss

I have no idea who Lonely Island is, but this is terrific. I almost choked to death on the wine I was drinking, so fair warning. (and adult language warning)

I think its a Saturday Night Live sketch.

Ah! Well that would explain why I've never heard of them [g]

But wait, had another thought: they use language like that on network TV? I know it's been years since I've seen SNL, but really?

On SNL I think they usually bleep the really bad stuff, but it is shown very late at night. And they might not edit the online content.

I love that video. I never knew Michael Bolton had a sense of humor.

That's the uncut version of the song.

This is from the band's second album which was just recently released.

one of their other recent videos is The Creep (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tLPZmPaHme0)

I know a least one of the guys is actually from Saturday Night Live

I listened to this, then I played it for John. We both laughed uproarously (er...a word I don't know now to spell.)

Yep, same as I'm on a Boat (http://youtu.be/R7yfISlGLNU) and I Just Had Sex (http://youtu.be/lQlIhraqL7o)

Ah, SNL.

Cool! Michael Bolton has just gone way up in my estimation. Although the Erin Brokovich bit is gonna give me nightmares!

And I must find out more about Lonely Island. Seem like a US version of Goldie Lookin' Chain. Which is good. :)

I watched it when it was on SNL (the cut version of course). I thought that it was pretty funny.

Lonely Island is a singing comedy group with Andy Samberg - who is a regular on SNL. They do all sorts of original comedy songs and videos - I find them hilarious and I loved this one too. Their first album actually came out last week.

Their first album cam out last week. If you want a version I can send you the zip file. I think they are hilarious. The songs are funny but the videos are the best part.
