"I Just Had Sex"
Song

"I Just Had Sex" is a song by comedy hip hop group The Lonely Island featuring R&B singer Akon and produced by DJ Frank E. It was released as the first single from The Lonely Island's as of yet untitled second album, which is set to be released in 2011. The video, featured as a Saturday Night Live Digital Short,[1][2] stars The Lonely Island members Andy Samberg, Jorma Taccone and, briefly, Akiva Schaffer, with guest appearances by Jessica Alba, Blake Lively and John McEnroe.[1][3]

Video

The music video for "I Just Had Sex" features Akon, Andy Samberg, Jorma Taccone, and a cameo by Akiva Schaffer, throughout the video singing to the world via television broadcasts (one shown in Times Square) about how they just had sex with their unsatisfied girlfriends (Blake Lively and Jessica Alba). The music video includes various locations such as a park, a household, a bakery, a bathroom, a museum, a pub, and a girls' changing room. The song briefly features John McEnroe to demonstrate that sex can "make a nice man out [of] the meanest". The music video ends with the trio launching fireworks from their crotches, parodying Katy Perry's "Firework" music video.


The video was posted to YouTube by The Lonely Island the day the song was released on December 19, 2010, and has gained over 45 million views. It sold over 250,000 digital copies in the USA, in its first two weeks.
