About this album

Sound: "A playful blend of hip-hop beats and comedic lyrics that satirize pop culture and relationships."

Where they were

Released in 2011, 'Turtleneck & Chain' was The Lonely Island's third studio album, following their breakthrough with 'Incredibad' in 2009. By this point, they had solidified their reputation as a comedic force through viral hits and mainstream success on 'Saturday Night Live'. This album continued to showcase their unique blend of humor and music, further expanding their audience.

Why it matters

The album debuted at number 3 on the Billboard 200 and received generally positive reviews from critics for its clever lyrics and catchy hooks. Notably, tracks like "I Just Had Sex" became cultural phenomena, exemplifying the duo's knack for creating viral hits that resonate beyond traditional comedy music.

Essential tracks

  • "I Just Had Sex" — This track became a viral sensation, capturing a humorous take on male pride post-coitus with an infectious chorus. Its success helped cement The Lonely Island's status in comedy music.
  • "Jack Sparrow" — Featuring Michael Bolton, this song cleverly juxtaposes a serious performance with absurdly comedic lyrics about a fictional pirate. Its unexpected collaboration highlights the group's unique approach to humor.
  • "Motherlover" — A sequel to their earlier hit 'Dick in a Box', this track features a hilarious narrative twist around Mother's Day, showcasing their signature blend of charm and raunchiness.
