A Taste:

Beirut, T-Pain

Andy Samberg of Saturday Night Live doesn’t rely strictly on the televised medium to make people laugh. His hilarious, musical digital shorts on SNL, such as the viral, white hip-hop romp “Lazy Sunday” from a few years back and the equally hysterical “Dick in a Box” jam with Justin Timberlake spurned he and his writing cohorts to release an album under the moniker The Lonely Island. The Island even duets with T-Pain on their debut, Incredibad.

If that’s not enough, Samberg is also starring in the hilarious comedy, I Love You, Man, alongside Paul Rudd. In between all of their comic exploits, we chatted with Andy and Lonely Island about what rocks their worlds. Here’s what Samberg and his fellow Islanders (who are also SNL writers) are rocking in their iTunes.

Andy Samberg’s Playlist:

1. Beirut — March of the Zapotec

2. Fever Ray

3. T-Pain

Akiva Schaffer’s Playlist:

1. Lil Wayne’s

Jorma Taccone’s Playlist:

1. Julieta Venegas

Jorma claims that Julieta is atop his playlist, saying, “I want to work with her! I’m trying to figure out my way into her heart.”

Maybe he should just try the old “Dick in a Box” trick?
