One of the best things to come out of Saturday’s episode of Saturday Night Live was the return of The Digital Short. Andy Samberg made appearances throughout the episode and returned with The Lonely Island for a brand new Digital Short featuring Adam Levine. Not only is the song hilarious, but it’s super catchy. The best ones always are. It already has over 3 million views on Youtube.

Is anyone else ready for a new video from The Lonely Island? Since Andy Samberg’s departure from Saturday Night Live it’s been awhile since the hilarious trio have been featured on the show. Not to mention we haven’t seen a Digital Short since. The group was recently seen filming with Adam Levine. With the Maroon 5 frontman set to host SNL later this month, could the four of them be filming a new Digital Short for the episode?
We certainly hope so. Not only is Levine a favorite here at Pop City Life, but who doesn’t love The Lonely Island?! We can’t be the only ones who quote “I’m on a Boat” and “Dick in a Box” on a daily basis. Come on, that is catchy music at its finest. This collaboration would be perfect, especially now that Levine is one of the hottest and most sought after artists in the music scene today. We’re ready to see if Levine has the chops to deliver the comedic gold.
Isn’t that one of the great things about The Lonely Island though? They’re able to produce this style of music that infuses comedy with hip hop. The band definitely found a great niche audience by teaming up with Saturday Night Live to showcase their music. While they’re not the only ones to feature this style of music (hello Tenacious D), it’s crazy to see how much they’ve changed the music world throughout the years. Music today has come a long way from anything we’d ever find over at www.ioldies.com.
Will you be tuning into SNL this week to see Levine try his hand at hosting? Sound off!
One of the more strange events of the night at the 2011 Emmy awards was the sudden appearance of Michael Bolton and The Lonely Island. Performing a string of hits from this past season of Saturday Night Live, the group definitely stood out during the night.
