I'm On a Boat, Featuring T-pain (NSFWork or Landlubbers)

...is the latest video from the new album by Incredibad who is Lonely Island. "A slew of "real" musicians will join Samberg on the album, including T-Pain, Norah Jones, Jack Black, E-40, the Strokes' frontman Julian Casablancas and Justin Timberlake." The album has a bunch of older and SNL-developed tracks, but also enough new stuff (like the update of Just Two Guys, We Like Sports) that f a n s might be reasonably expecting more gold this year from the Dudes.

As someone who still watches the video for "Jizz In My Pants" almost daily, and is probably responsible for most of its views, I have to say that this one was a disappointment.

I liked the story behind the song. Sorry Jorma, someone has to be left behind.

You know, I can't hate on that. I know musicians snarl at me and rage when I say I like aural sugary candy, but T-Pain's whole vocoder pitch-alignment melody chrous thing really does work for me. Album better have Dick in a Box, tho.

I have to say that this one was a disappointment. I don't know, I have a hard time faulting anything that contains the line "Take a good hard look at the motherfucking boat."

Does Samberg have a birthday coming up? Maybe we could all chip in to buy him a new bit; this one is pretty fucking threadbare.

Truly, there are now three great days in the life of a boat-owner. The day you buy the boat, the day you sell the boat, and the day you annoy the ever loving shit out of your friends/passersby with this song. Especially if you throw in a "YAARRR" here and there.

That would have been great if it had stopped at the one minute mark. Then it could have been a parody of people who still think it's funny to parody rap like this. Instead it was Weird Al redux. You hear me Samberg? Y'alls nuthin but a lanky-ass Yankovic, motherfucker.

The Lonely Island are pretty much the only group of Satirsts that get conventions of the music they're making fun of. I'm on a boat fucking nails it it sounds so similar but the lyrics are firmly toungue in cheek. Another one I really like is Sax Man. Spot on.

Ya know. It's well done, but almost too well done. Like, if this was released by a major hip-hop star, it could just about pass. It's not quite vacuous enough to overcome the vacuity of the style it's supposed to be satirizing. Which is to say, I didn't think it was funny.

The Lonely Island are pretty much the only group of Satirsts that get conventions of the music they're making fun of. It really seems to me what they're doing is making a funny song in a particular style, not making fun of the style itself.

Didn't Nelly (or someone else) do something in earnest that was all about sneakers--like, five years ago? This would have been funny back then, or in Yacht Rap's late-90's heyday. Now? Meh.

I love Jorma (seriously, have you seen Hot Rod? -- awesome). I wish he was a regular cast member on SNL instead of just a writer. Actually, in my ideal SNL world, they'd drop Casey Wilson and replace her with Jorma. I would Tivo that shit.

I think it's pretty hard to beat sinking a line like "I got a nautical-themed pashmina afghan" into a song. So this pretty much gets win from me.

Weird Al never got T-Pain to make fun of himself. The punchline is involving legitimate big-name artists (like Justin Timberlake) and making it stupider fun.

Yeah, I loved 'I'm On a Boat' and I still think 'Dick in a Box' proves that it's impossible for me to hate Justin Timberlake.

"Jizz in My Pants" was kinda funny, but the style of music they are mocking beyond parody. (sorta NSFW)

Unfortunately, I will never have occasion to sing this song ON a boat, as my experiences with boats have been all about taking a good hard look at my stomach contents. So, I'll just be singing "I'm on a boat!" even though I am not, in fact, anywhere near a boat.

I almost missed the boat (Ha!) but I thought it was fucking hilarious. And you could play both this and Jizz in my Pants at a scene where people aren't really listening to the lyrics and both would pass. It's not only silly, it is finely produced silliness, which makes it even funnier.
