You can blame it all on me...

Obviously this is already out there and a million people have seen it. but it's been amusing me for days and deserves to be posted again.



Amy came in on Monday to our new shared cubicle (oh man, we are SO not going to get any work done) and said, "did you watch Saturday Night Live?" And, of course, I hadn't but thanks to the work of [livejournal.com profile] ohnotheydidnt, I knew exactly what she was talking about. So the past three days have been made up entirely of one or the other of us busting out with "It's my dick in a box!" every three hours or so apropos of absolutely nothing. It worked out perfectly on Monday, since we were unpacking and Amy had many chances to exclaim, "Put your junk in that box!"

What's sad is, from reading various comments on [livejournal.com profile] ohnotheydidnt and youtube, there are actually people out there who don't realize what this is actually parodying. Samberg's hair is so Color Me Badd it's ridiculous, and it's almost impossible for me to listen to the melody without starting to sing, "Let me lick you up and down til you say stop (Freak me baby, aw yeah...)" or "Ride it, my pony!" There were SO many songs like this in the early 90s. AND NONE OF THEM WERE A JOKE. (Samberg himself said that they were aiming to parody any group that had a song with the word "freak" in it in the 90s, though I think the existence of Jodeci's "Feenin" helped, too.)Honestly, both Amy and I independently came to the conclusion that it sounds a ton like "Baby Come Back" too -- maybe that's where it all stems from.

I don't see nothin' wrong with a little bump n' grind...

I KNOW, it's been cracking me up all week long, it just sticks in my brain... loved it. i love the cheese, and the clip of maya rudolph and the rose being squished at her face, hahahaha.

you know what the song reminds me of besides color me badd? that AWFUL song by next, "too close"!

it was huge down south a few years ago, and i couldn't believe it when i heard it on the radio and actually listened to the lyrics and heard:

"Step back you're dancing kinda close, I feel a little poke coming through on you

Now girl I know you felt it, But boo, you know I can't help it, You know what I wanna do"

ewwwww, hahaha! :D

Ew, that song was so gross. "You're making it HARD for me!" I couldn't listen to it without laughing.

In the video, I like when Timberlake is stroking the girl's face with a feather, and she just pushes it away with this irritated look on her face. Cracks me up.
