[Sarabeth here, back with some more jams to add to your iTunes library! Every Wednesday, I'm bringing you music suggestions - could be something new, old, hugely popular or fairly unknown - to awesome-ify your collection.]
Awwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww sh*t! Musical talent doesn’t always have to come in the form of amazing voices. Sometimes great and hilarious lyrics (and an outlet on one of the country’s most well known shows) is all you need. Hearing “I’m On A Boat” this weekend at the bars just reminded me how awesome The Lonely Island is. And because I simply can’t wait for their 2011 album, I’m giving you Incredibad.
About the Band:
The Lonely Island is more of a comedy troupe rather than a band, consisting of Andy Samburg, Jorma Taccone, and Akiva Schaffer. While most people know them from SNL, these three have been making people laugh for way longer – since junior high school. Read More »
“Guys We Wanna Eff” is generally a speculative column. Each week, we collectively drool over one effable celeb or another, hoping against hope that one day we may be able to live the (effing) dream.

Also, they probably thought I was a huge slut. Read More »
Yesterday, we let you in on Andy Samberg’s total domination of SNL, but what you may not know is that he was ruling the internet way before then with his best buds Akiva and Jorma (now SNL writers) in a comedy troupe called The Lonely Island.
Take a mid-day break and check out some vintage Samberg (all the way from 2001!) in the faux rap group Incredibad. And when you’re finished check out all of their hilarious vids here!
