Turtleneck and chain is probably the Lonely Islands most memorable album. Influence by early 90's and late 80's R&B they worked with several well renowned singers to create many well pieced and humorous songs. From singing about how to make a friend’s mother happy on mother’s day to popular cinema. Their constant use of imagery and allusions to popular culture make their songs appeal to a wide range of willing and sometimes unwilling listeners because of their spot on S.N.L. Their comical hits are well known by many witch makes their album a great chose for an even better laugh.

            Many of their songs touch upon awkward situations that they had experienced themselves such as meeting people or persons whose lives revolve around cinema and popular media. They turn these awkward encounters into humorous songs. They worked with singers such as Justin Timberlake, Michel Bolton, and Nicki Minaj. Their fame help boost the album into popularity their album may have never hit number one but that’s to be expected because of their album genre. The album covers a variety of subjects and life experiences adding comic relief to the everyday struggle that is life.

            Lyrists like The Lonely Island are needed to ease some of the hardships of life to add a touch of comic relief to the average of everyday life. If this album were to get even a song on the radio they would sky rocket into a higher state of mass media and may even add a new genre to the already diverse world of radio and improve the quality of people’s lives. Their songs may have little meaning and sometimes break the rules of lyricism but they make people laugh. That’s what makes this album so great the fact that the songs diverge from the norm and make people laugh.
