![]() Samberg sings that he's "king of the world, on a boat like Leo" referring to Leonardo DiCaprio in the movie Titanic, and mentions Kevin Garnett's 2008 NBA championship finals victory quote "anything is possible". ![]() Schaffer at one time claims to be riding a wild dolphin, and doing flips, and at another time to be climbing buoys. The song features an aggressive delivery of the lyrics, which include profanity-peppered proclamations that range from the mundane ("The boat engine make noise") to the absurd ("I'm gonna fly this boat to the moon somehow"). Although he was initially confused about the premise, T-Pain said that after learning that it was a digital short he agreed "They wrote the whole thing, I went and put my voice on it, and sent it back." Music and lyrics T-Pain said that The Lonely Island contacted him with the song and asked if he was interested in collaborating. In 2019, ten years after its release, Wyshmaster said the track is "still doing well". Wyshmaster also claimed that T-Pain asked for and received 10% of the revenue from the track, and that he received "around 35%", but only after prolonged negotiations a contract was not formalized until after the short aired. He recalled that he found out that his track was on Saturday Night Live and featured T-Pain only after a relative contacted him. Wyshmaster sent a collection of "throwaway" tracks to the label, hearing back from them several months later asking to use a track for The Lonely Island, a group he did not at the time recognize.
