The Lonely Island (you know, Andy Samberg and crew) have a new album coming out soon. Know how I know? They released a new music video on Saturday. The track is titled “I Just Had Sex”. It doesn’t have the sneaky naughtiness of “Jizz in My Pants” and doesn’t quite match the over-the-top-ness of “I’m on a Boat,” but I’m sure the album will sell just fine.
And then it hit me like a ton of bricks. This video might be the single best-engineered piece of media out there. You see, the trio employs three notable folk in the music video: Akon, Jessica Alba and Blake Lively. The video has appropriate of metadata about these performers to boot. And here comes the genius: This video is already ranking first in searches for some phrases that—I’m sure—are commonly Googled. Among those are “jessica alba sex”, “blake lively sex” and “akon sex”.
The accidental search engine traffic alone will make this album go platinum. Truly mischievous. Truly genius.
