We're Back! (CSULA Album)
"We're Back!" is the first track and third single from The Lonely Island's second album ''Turtleneck & Chain''. The song was first performed on ''Late Night with Jimmy Fallon'' on April 1, 2011 while the album was released on May 10, 2011. The video contains a cameo appearance from ''Ugly Betty'' actress America Ferrera. Composition and theme The song consists of a form of call and response between Jorma Taccone on one hand, and Akiva Schaffer and Andy Samberg (as well as Taccone himself on one occasion) responding with brief rhymes. These rhymes center around sexual and scatological themes, including erectile dysfunction, genital odors, incontinence and STDs. A comic effect is achieved by the contrast between the self-aggrandizing style typical of mainstream hip hop music (specifically mixtapes), and the self-deprecating lyrical content. A typical exchange goes: The song prominently features a sped-up sample from "That's How It Is" by Laura Lee. Reception Within a few days ...
