(feat. Julian Casablancas)
[The Lonely Island]
Imagine in your mind a posh country club
The stuffy old money where the poor kid's snubbed
The spread is bland sauerkraut and boiled goose
There's no way these people will ever cut loose
But then I walk in the room, hold my boombox high
And what happened next, will blow your mind
[Julian Casablancas]
Everything got outta control
The music was so undressing
Everyone got out on the floor
It was a bunch of old white people dancing
[The Lonely Island]
Now picture if you will a bunch of business men
Stuffed in the boardroom like pigs in a pen
The ties around the necks are like a hangman's noose
In the middle of the table theres a boiled goose
The old people smell makes you want to puke in the sink
These dudes will never dance yeah that's what you think
I stride in the room all young and hip
Hold up my boombox and say listen to this
[Julian Casablancas]
Then everyone started to move
People rejoiced instead of financing
Your preconcieved notions were shattered
By the super old white people dancing
[The Lonely Island]
The big apple, where people never dance
Spirits go down while profits expand
The cops or the dealers, who's got the juice
The street benders peddling their boiled goose
So many types of people will never get along
Till I bust out my boombox and play this song
[Julian Casablancas]
The music washed away all the hate
And society started advancing
Every demographic was represented
It was a rainbow coalition of dancing
Whoa!
Everyone was wearing fingerless gloves
Whoaaaaaoaaaaaoh!
I saw a spanish guy doing the Bartman
[The Lonely Island]
Transport now to an old folks home
Where the elderly are tossed on their brittle bones
The orderlies are stealing there's no excuse
Everyday for lunch they eat boiled goose
So I grabbed my boombox and hit the turbo base
And what happened next was a total disgrace
[Julian Casablancas]
Everybody started having sex
The music was way too powerful
A bunch of old people fucking like rabbits
It was disgusting to say the least
Oh!
A boombox can change the world
You gotta know your limits with a boombox
This was a cautionary tale
A boombox is not a toy
The Lonely Island is an American comedy trio consisting of Akiva Schaffer, Jorma Taccone, and Andy Samberg. Active since 2001, they gained fame through comedic musical sketches published on YouTube and later integrated into television programs like Saturday Night Live. Their style revolves around parodic hip hop, often with ironic and absurd lyrics that ridicule musical and cultural stereotypes. Among their most famous songs are "I'm on a Boat", "Jack Sparrow" and "Dick in a Box". Their music has helped bring to light a new genre of comedic music, influencing artists like Flight of the Conchords and Tim and Eric. Besides singles, they have released three albums: "Incredibad" (2009), "Turtleneck and Chain" (2013) and "The Wack Album" (2017).
