The Lonely Island - I’m On A Boat Ft. T-Pain
The Lonely Island is an American Comedy group consisting of three members, Akivia Schaffer, Jorma Taccone, and Andy Samberg. All three are writers/actors for Saturday Night Live and specialize in comedic skis and music parodies. They recently came out with a music album, entitled Incredibad, which is actually really fun to listen to. One of their hits from their album is I’m On A Boat. The song itself is funny, especially with lyrics like, “Hey ma, if you could see me now/ Arms spread wide on the starboard bow/ Gonna fly this boat to the moon somehow/ Like Kevin Gernett, anything is possible,” but what really puts the icing on the cake is the video. It’s absolutely hilarious with members of the group doing everything from poping champagne to riding an inflated dolphin. T-pain’s presence in the song and video raises the hilarity up tenfold, providing vocals throughout the track. I think the video is a perfect parody of hip-hop, capturing the materialistic aspect of it along with the current trends in the music genre.
Aww shit, get your towels ready it’s about to go down (shorty, yeah)
Everybody in the place hit the fucking deck (shorty, yeah)
But stay on your motherfucking toes
We running this, let’s go
I’m on a boat (I’m on a boat)
I’m on a boat (I’m on a boat)
Everybody look at me ‘cause I’m sailing on a boat (sailing on a boat)
I’m on a boat (I’m on a boat)
I’m on a boat
Take a good hard look at the motherfucking boat (boat, yeah)
I’m on a boat motherfucker take a look at me
Straight flowing on a boat on the deep blue sea
Busting five knots, wind whipping out my coat
You can’t stop me motherfucker cause I’m on a boat
Take a picture, trick (trick)
I’m on a boat, bitch (bitch)
We drinking Santana champ,
Cause it’s so crisp (crisp)
I got my swim trunks
And my flippie-floppies
I’m flipping burgers, you at Kinko’s
Straight flipping copies
I’m riding on a dolphin, doing flips and shit
The dolphin’s splashing, getting everybody all wet
But this ain’t Seaworld, this is real as it gets
I’m on a boat, motherfucker, don’t you ever forget
I’m on a boat and
It’s going fast and
I got a nautical themed
pashmina afghan
I’m the king of the world
On a boat like Leo
If you’re on the shore,
then you’re sure not me-oh
Get the fuck up, this boat is REAL!!!
Fuck land, I’m on a boat, motherfucker (motherfucker)
Fuck trees, I climb buoys, motherfucker (motherfucker)
I’m on the deck with my boys, motherfucker (yeah)
This boat engine make noise, motherfucker
Hey ma, if you could see me now (see me now)
Arms spread wide on the starboard bow (starboard bow)
Gonna fly this boat to the moon somehow (moon somehow)
Like Kevin Garnett, anything is possible
Yeah, never thought I’d be on a boat
It’s a big blue watery road (yeah)
Poseidon
Look at me, oh (all hands on deck)
Never thought I’d see the day
When a big boat coming my way
Believe me when I say
I fucked a mermaid
I’m on a boat
I’m on a boat
Everybody look at me ‘cause I’m sailing on a boat (woaah)
I’m on a boat
I’m on a boat
Take a good hard look at the mothafuckin’ boat (sha-sha-shorty, shorty, yeah)- moises
