The goofballs who make up The Lonely Island are still pushing their Incredibad record, which dropped more than a year ago. And this time around it's a video for "Boombox," which features Julian Casablancas on the hook. The track and its video aren't a complete waste, mostly because of Casablancas' over-the-top vocals. But I just feel like this is a rip-off of the skit on Chappelle's Show where he went around playing music for different demographics to gauge how they would react. Of course, Chappelle was joined by guys like Questlove and John Mayer as opposed to a Radio Raheem boombox, but you get my point.
i really dislike andy samberg for some reason, but casablancas made this tolerable...

OMG. When it gets to part with the old folks home I nearly lost it. I want to have Andy Samberg's funny little babies.
oh I see what you did, well played...
Kinda funny kinda catchy
Do these songs really work without the videos?
Ha, excellent question, Brandon. I don't think they do unless you're listening AFTER you have seen the video.
I downloaded the song months before the video came out ( I didn't even know there was going to be a video) and I still love the song. So. Yes it works without.
