musso_kn Posted June 9, 2013 Share Posted June 9, 2013 >.> man, it's almost like some of you guys were expecting Mozart to rise back and write one last song for us all judging by the reactions. Hardly. I think the song is bad because it's not funny or catchy. That's all I expect from a Lonely Island track but it doesn't even fulfill that criteria.

I-Like-Pop-Tarts Posted June 9, 2013 Share Posted June 9, 2013 Wow how one song can divide the GDC! Yeah song isn't that great, but what did people expect from a comedy album?! I love Billie's voice on this, but then I love Nightlife! (which I didn't realise lots of people don't like either!) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Schlappy Posted June 9, 2013 Share Posted June 9, 2013 The best explanation is probably that this will be an "album track". it seems like a but of a throw away, or filler. Also over the years i'm still not sure if the lonely island take themselves too serious as part of the joke or they actually think they are good rappers... Have you heard Nightlife?

I-Like-Pop-Tarts Posted June 9, 2013 Share Posted June 9, 2013 Have you heard Nightlife? As it happens, yes I have. It is a beautifully crafted masterpiece of electro rap punk rock pop enhanced by the delightful Lady Cobra. How there was debate arguing the contrary I don't know.

J&TheNight Posted June 9, 2013 Share Posted June 9, 2013 Hardly. I think the song is bad because it's not funny or catchy. That's all I expect from a Lonely Island track but it doesn't even fulfill that criteria. Personal preference I guess. I thought it was hilarious and catchy!

Nimrod99 Posted June 9, 2013 Share Posted June 9, 2013 Before the song starts, the spoken "mayor" sounds like Ben Stein to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kitty Purry Posted June 9, 2013 Share Posted June 9, 2013 lol at @ people saying it sounds like night life it's clear that you guys don't listen to much hip hop the song is alright I'm just not really here for white people rapping. It never sounds right to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Todd Posted June 9, 2013 Share Posted June 9, 2013 I'm listening to it for the first time- I don't even know why anyone would make this a song. It has no point, it's not funny, where did it come from? I don't get it at all. Billie sounds good, but the other guys' voices are too 'aggressive' for me Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Neutral Milk Hotel Posted June 9, 2013 Share Posted June 9, 2013 I love it! I just wish the other two lonely island people had been on it as well. Billie's part is so catchy, and I love how is voice sounds. Andy's parts are great too. It's probably my favorite off of the album. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tdlyon Posted June 10, 2013 Share Posted June 10, 2013 Also over the years i'm still not sure if the lonely island take themselves too serious as part of the joke or they actually think they are good rappers... They've stated a LOT of times that they don't actually think they're good rappers and all of their songs are meant purely for comedy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I remember in Cuatro they messed with one a little somewhere but I don't think it was used on the record, at least not entirely. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mar Posted June 10, 2013 Share Posted June 10, 2013 Hardly. I think the song is bad because it's not funny or catchy. That's all I expect from a Lonely Island track but it doesn't even fulfill that criteria. FUCKING THANK YOU. This all comes down to me not liking much I've heard from this Lonely Island era and being sad Billie didn't have the chance to collaborate with them in the Incredibad or Turtleneck & Chain era. I'm listening to it for the first time- I don't even know why anyone would make this a song. It has no point, it's not funny, where did it come from? I don't get it at all. Billie sounds good, but the other guys' voices are too 'aggressive' for me TLI, Andy in particular, has always adopted that aggressive, angry sound (Lazy Sunday, Like a Boss, etc.) but with this song and others on this album, it's REALLY too much. Is Billie the one doing the talking in the beginning I can't tell As the mayor? No, it's Andy. (Actually, though, the first time I heard "Ladies and gentlemen, the mayor of New York," I thought it was Mike ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Neurotics Posted June 10, 2013 Share Posted June 10, 2013 It's not bad. I like how billie sings his part. I have no idea about this band. Though they seem to be good I don't think i'm gonna listen their other songs. I'm not into rap music! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
