The new Spell it Out video from comedy rap trio The Lonely Island contains a hilariously vulgar message.
The video parodies early rap and boy band music in which the performers would spell out their names. In this video, frontman Andy Samberg spells out a rather long message that YouTube users have managed to put together after many video views: "I am a dude that has s** with pigs for money but only as a side thing right now, I'm just short on cash and have irons in the fire but in this economy it'll have to do -- my name is Lenny!"
With the chipper delivery and cartoonish alphabetized graphics viewers would never guess that Samberg is really talking about spending time with pigs for money. While the video seems simple at first glance, it truly is a fun way for fans to interact with Lonely Island's music.
