Hi, I'm Andy Samberg.
And this is my mood mix.
Yeah.
Yeah, a song that reminds me of my childhood.
Probably eat it by weird.
Al.
I had it on 45.
I think it might have been my 1st 45 Um, 40 fives are record final.
And, you know, we were obsessed obviously with beat it as a family.
I have two older sisters, and we would dance to that.
And when I learned about eat it and weird Al, I lost my mind because I was already predestined to be in comedy.
And I wore that record out.
He would do such a good replication that we would end up dancing to that also, Um, but yeah, that's a good memory song.
I sing in the shower, man.
For a while, I would sing all of the lights in the shower a lot.
I don't care to admit that because I didn't do it well, but I would do that.
Maybe like Bohemian Rhapsody queen.
I would sing that in the shower to just anything where, like, it feels huge.
And you want to use those acoustics in your favor and allow that to soften all of the imperfections in your voice.
All those flat notes become a lot a lot nicer with a loud splattering shower and an echo, uh, splashing back for you Song that makes me laugh.
Well, there are so many.
But the one that popped into my mind was a song called Double teamed by Tenacious D, which is Jack Black, and Kyle Gass is banned there.
Also a comedy act.
Um, and I first heard that song watching the Tenacious D show when I was in college, and I remember really blowing my mind that it could sound so good and also be so filthy and funny and like, immature.
A lot of ways that that show and tenacious D in general was really huge inspiration for the Lonely Island like we kinda had a different jumping off point of musical references, obviously, and none of us can sing like Jack play guitar like those guys, but we knew a lot about R and B and rap music, so we kind of just did our take.
But yeah, double team is the one that first really hungry song that I sing to my daughter.
Let's sing a lot of songs to my daughter that I just make up and then she also makes stuff up, and we kind of laugh because it's not good.
Um, for a while, when she was really a baby, I would sing, uh, this old standard called Moonshine in here.
The version that I know the best is by Bob Dylan, which, lyrically, is not really super appropriate for a child.
But it's a really beautiful melody.
And it, for some reason I could do it, Uh, in a way that that was soothing to her and didn't sound terrible.
So that's probably the one I've sung to her the most so far.
Go to karaoke song.
I don't do a lot of karaoke.
I can say the song I had the most fun singing a karaoke ever was.
My wife and I were on a trip in Japan with friends of hers.
Um, and we all sing.
We are the world.
It was fantastic.
It felt truly uplifting in that in that moment, and you know, you forget there's a lot of really incredible vocal lines in that song, and there's so many huge stars on it from that moment that everyone needs to get in and get their moment.
So it's a It was a momentous night for us.
Uh, and I think that was the culmination.
A song from a movie.
Then can you guys hear how loud that is?
Oh, yeah, Yeah.
Oh, yeah.
I just I just started hearing it, but I didn't hear it before.
So many planes and choppers on myself today.
My house started shaking and I looked out the window, and it was like those military claims with the double whirly birds on them you will be seeing on movies.
Oh, my God.
Song from who?
You I've been in.
Um well, I guess I would be remiss if I didn't say one from Pop Star, since that's one that we wrote and we wrote all the songs.
Um, maybe incredible thoughts, which is a song.
Me and my friends are Cuban, um are on with Michael Bolton and it's kind of the end of the movie.
Kind of another momentous thing there.
Um, it was kind of loosely inspired by a lot of, uh, navel gazing rap stuff where people just can't believe their own mind, but it all feels very like freshman year of college philosophy class, Um, and worse.
That's 11 of many a song by my wife that I love.
Well, I love all her songs not just saying that, either, but maybe a song of my wife that I love that I don't hear talked about as much.
So that's fun is a song on her most recent album, Divers called a Pin Like Bent, which is a very spare song and very like, um, got any word I use will annoy her, but there's just something super hypnotic about it, and it's kind of dark, but it's also just brilliant, like in in every definition of the word.
You know, there's something there's something like scientifically spectacular about it that I can't quite put my finger on.
But, uh, that's one that I always, I think, maybe turn to maybe more than a lot of the other stuff she's done that gets talked about her.
But I love it.
Yeah, sign the house may relax.
Well, I've been definitely needing a lot of songs that helped me relax lately.
Um, I've been listening to a lot of old stuff like a lot of old Billie Holiday and Etta James and stuff like that.
Something about that era that is very common to me.
Um, listening to mm Feist A lot of old Feist records.
Help me relax.
Salons records.
Help me.
Relax.
Um, I'm listening to Don Shirley a lot.
Yeah, who I learned about from that movie.
And then I was like, Oh, yeah, this is great.
Like, um, so we've been listening to that a lot of time to That's a bunch of stuff.
The song that distract that describes my new movie.
Well, there are songs in the movie that I really love.
I think when the morning comes by hall and Oates is one of the ones that really, really defines it totally for me.
And the other one is cloud busting by Kate Bush.
Um, both of those are two of my favorite songs, just generally.
And they both come in really important moments in the and I think you could say, help, help define and explain what we're going for with the whole thing.
All right?
I'm Andy Samberg, and this has been my mood mix.
Mm.
Mhm.
