![]() I agree with you, it could have been a real song very easily, if the lyrics hadn’t been so straightforwardly stupid. Yeah, in the case of a song like “I’m on a Boat,” that beat is just a monster. High production value applied to the stupidest idea imaginable always makes us laugh. But yeah, definitely, we like to try and make things feel as close to what we’re making fun of, or having fun with, as possible. Has that always been an important aspect for you guys when you’re putting these things together? Samberg: Well thanks, first off. Samberg: That’s awesome! IGN: One thing people bring up about your songs is they’re very funny, but they also have really great beats and you could see someone changing the lyrics and if it weren’t comedic, it would just be a really good beat for a song. IGN: When “I’m on a Boat” came out, I think we used to play it at our office two or three times a day. Working with really established and admirable talent has always been a big part of why they’re fun. But you know, all the ones with Timberlake of course and the ones from our records – “I’m on a Boat,” and things with people we admire. ![]() I liked the one we did with Amy Adams, “Hero Song,” where Jason Sudeikis hits me like 95 times in a row. I don’t know, I always loved "Roy Rules", because it was a prank I played on my actual brother-in-law. IGN: I know it’s always difficult to answer a question like this, but do you have a favorite among the Digital Shorts? Samberg: Gosh, I really, really still do like a lot of them. I mean, it’s definitely something I always hoped would happen, so yeah, fingers crossed. Andy Samberg: Oh, thank you! IGN: Has there been talk of doing a DVD collection of those? Samberg: No official talks. IGN TV: So I have to tell you, I’m a huge fan of the Digital Shorts.
