Incredibad
Incredibad is the debut studio album of the American comedy troupe The Lonely Island, released on February 10, 2009, through Universal Republic Records. Composed of writers and childhood best friends Andy Samberg, Akiva Schaffer, and Jorma Taccone, the album consists of hip hop-inspired comedy songs and skits with a satirical slant on traditional hip hop culture.
The album is largely composed of tracks composed by the troupe for broadcast on NBC's Saturday Night Live. Samberg was hired as a cast member, with Schaffer and Taccone as writers for the series in late 2005. After the quick production and national success of "Lazy Sunday", the comedians began writing and recording tracks for their debut album.
Collaborators on the album include T-Pain, Norah Jones, Jack Black, E-40, Julian Casablancas, Sly & Robbie, DJ Nu-Mark, J-Zone, Natalie Portman, Chris Parnell, and Justin Timberlake.
Background
The Lonely Island
The Lonely Island is an American comedy trio, formed by Akiva Schaffer, Andy Samberg and Jorma Taccone at Berkeley, California in 2001. The trio first met the previous decade while attending high school. After graduating from college, they regrouped and moved to Los Angeles, California, where they struggled to find work and began making short films, combining absurdist comedy and occasionally music. Among the first performers to post their material on the Internet, they involved themselves with Channel 101, a non-profit monthly short film festival. Their popularity at the screenings led to unsuccessful pilot deals with Fox and Comedy Central, but also a writing job for the 2005 MTV Movie Awards. The show's host, Jimmy Fallon, recommended them to Lorne Michaels, the creator of Saturday Night Live.
The group was hired for Saturday Night Live in 2005, with all three as writers and Samberg as a featured player. Bypassing the traditional process of pitching, they recorded their own material independently and submitted it to the program. Their second sketch to air, "Lazy Sunday", became an online sensation, the first of many viral videos they produced while at SNL. They led their own division at the program — SNL Digital Shorts — which led to numerous viral videos, including "Dick in a Box", "Jizz in My Pants", "I'm on a Boat", "Like a Boss", "I Just Had Sex", "Jack Sparrow", and "YOLO". Their musical comedic work has comprised three full studio albums: Incredibad (2009), Turtleneck & Chain (2011), and The Wack Album (2013). The three retired from SNL in the early 2010s, but occasionally make guest appearances.

Nowwwwwww let's take a trip down memory lane
Back to junior high school where it all begain
Three bad little kids raisin hell at school
We were just 13, straight actin the fool
Every day after class Kiva's house was the spot
Makin crazy prank calls hopin not to get caught
Best friends, blood brothers, yo we one and the same
'Til one fateful afternoon when everything changed
One day playin Punch Out up and came doom
The house started shakin and we heard a kaboom
Looked out the back window saw billowin smoke
Yo your backyard is smashed - man this isn't a joke!
(Yo let's go check this out man) (Aight bet, let's go)
All the smoke and debris led straight to the basement
Yo what the hell is that? Man it looks like a spaceship
We all ran for cover, as the hatch opened wide
And a little green dude stepped out from inside; he said
[Little Green Dude]
I'm from Mars, and I come in peace
I have something to ask, and it's not discrete
There's a mutated strain in our DNA helix
And you three kids are the ones who can heal it
[The Lonely Island]
But we're just 13 man, what can we do?
[Little Gay Dude]
Umm how should I put this? I think we should screw
(What?!) On my home planet we can no longer breed
I've been sent as a receptacle to store your seed
[The Lonely Island]
Storin our seed? - Yo I think he means sex
Man I'm a virgin - we all are - BET!
{I'm just gonna lie here and close my eyes}
Aww what should we do? Now he's spreading his thighs!
{You'll be heroes on our planet} But why us 3?
{You're the chosen ones, you'll just have to trust me}
[Interlude]
Yo should we do it? Man I don't know
I say we put it to a vote.. all in favor..
say aye.. AYE~!
[The Lonely Island]
Okay, we're in {cool} who should go first?
{I have three depositories to capture your burst}
Wait, so at the same time? {Yeah that's what I was thinking}
{Here's some wine coolers, let's get you boys drinking}
We pounded the drinks and, started gettin tipsy
Then took our positions, and started gettin frisky
One in the front, and two in the back
Had it locked up like a Chinese finger trap
[Little Green Gay Dude]
Keep pumping away, my wife and family thank you
[The Lonely Island]
I'm about to explode - yo son, me too
THREE-WAY CLIMAX, best friends forever
What a blessing to have lost our virginity together
Yeah!
[Green Martian Queer]
Andy, Jorma, Kiv', you've saved my race
Your reward is one wish then I'll go back to space
[The Lonely Island]
We looked at each other, didn't have to talk
Knew exactly what we wanted, before he took off
Mr. Alien Sir, for what it's worth
WE WANT TO BE THE GREATEST FAKE MC'S ON EARTH
[Little Green Guy]
Your wish is granted and thanks again
I may have saved my planet but I'm losing three friends
What happened today was both incredible and bad
Therefore your name is Incredibad!
Incredibad... [scratching and samples]
[N.W.A. parody]
STOP STOP STOP STOP, STOP!!
SA-PRIZE, EVERYONE! [sirens]
