  • 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.

Hi, I'm Andy Samberg.
