Can someone make a high quality gif of this part
SMH at how many people don't get the joke.
Rappers trying to make a hip-hop club song. Michael Bolton comes in and fucks it up with PotC + other film hooks. THE END.
If the "club" lyrics were also making a joke, the entire thing would have no point. No need to over-think it beyond that. I especially like the posters who are like "Bolton's parts are the best" ha. It's like... no shit.
Favorite line
"You can call me Scarface, snortin mountains of cocaine."
"Close enough."

I was on the Michael Bolton train before it became "cool". Fuck all you bandwagoners.

I have listened to this 5 times trying to get the lyrics of this song. It is AMAZING, and fuck you Scooter I knew Bolton was halfway decent long before 2005.

What makes it for me is the interjections by the other guys during Bolton's awesome lines, like "yeah, we've seen the movie", "wrong", etc. The timing on the whole song is so great.

I really think that "back to the good part" is my favorite part of the whole video. The way his head pops in is so reminiscent of Bill Nye

That's my no.3 favourite line of the song. The randomness of the emotive 'Keira Knightley' had me in stitches, but 'Giant Squid' just sent me over the edge.

"Cubano flame with Miami nuts"
THAT'S what he's saying. :lol
Also half the goddamn Internet apparently thinks he was Sarah Jessica Parker before singing about Erin Brockovich.

When he became Scarface... lol!
The Lonely Island guys had an event at the Soho Apple Store on Monday night (anyone else go?) and they dropped some backstory on this track I thought you guys might be interested to hear...
The track started with the beat; it actually had the cinematic-sounding chorus and they couldn't figure out what to do with the song because the chorus felt so out-of-place. When they realized it sounded similar to the Pirates of the Caribbean soundtrack, and that's where the idea to have someone interrupting and singing about PotC came in. At some point during the process, they decided it had to be Michael Bolton and became set on getting him.
The guys said Bolton wasn't too hard to convince. When they want to get a guest artist for one of their tracks, they record the song and send it over to them with a lyrics sheet; Andy does the stand-in vocals for the guest artist's parts. ("Yes, this means there is a version of the song with Andy singing Bolton's parts that nobody will ever get to hear.")
Bolton was a little more tepid about doing the video. He agreed to do it pretty much immediately, but had a lot of questions and seemed a little apprehensive. That was, until he got to the set and saw how much effort and money they were putting into it, at which point he was completely on board.

Doesn't have the same appeal to me as I just had sex, but the Michael Bolton parts were pretty good.

That was awesome.
Still don't really care for Bolton.

I wish I had know about the SoHo event because I might have gone.

It's moreso that he does parodies of their songs, and Lonely Island makes original shit. Easier to get Akon, T-Pain etc. with that model.

The attention to detail is pretty good.
At 2:35 you can see a "MB" logo on the wall. :lol:
