Justin Timberlake on the Andy Samberg "Junk in a Box" short



Justin Timberlake had this to say in his "Social Network" media visits...

On the song "[Junk] in a Box" from Saturday Night Live

"The weird thing about the digital shorts that I've done with Andy [Samberg] and the Lonely Island guys is that we wrote this song in a delirium of no sleep on a Wednesday or Thursday of the week. We recorded it that night, and we were laughing so hysterically — and probably through the delirium of trying to write something so funny, this came out of it. We knew it would be funny on some level, because we were laughing with each other on the Friday we filmed the video. And then on Saturday they edited it, and Saturday night it was put out on television. ... We weren't parodying anyone in particular. I think the style in which we were doing the song was early-'90s R&B, so when we had that as a basis, we said, 'How ridiculous can we make this?' Because then at that point, it's just about making it as funny as possible."

I find it ironic that Justin was in Social Network and Andy did an impression of a person characterized in Social Network. What do you think?

Enjoy!
