The Lonely Island Teams With Charli XCX for New Song 'I Report You to the Cops' During 'Saturday Night Live'

Musical Comedy Trio Reunite for Hilarious Skit

The Lonely Island made a triumphant return to "Saturday Night Live" over the weekend, bringing along British pop star Charli XCX for a hilarious new song, "I Report You to the Cops." The musical comedy trio, made up of Andy Samberg, Akiva Schaffer, and Jorma Taccone, hasn't released new music in over a decade, but they showed that they haven't lost their touch with this latest effort.

A Nostalgic Throwback With a Modern Twist

The song is a perfect blend of The Lonely Island's signature style and Charli XCX's infectious pop sensibilities. The lyrics are full of the trio's trademark absurdity, with lines like "I'll report you to the cops for littering / And I'll make sure they give you the third degree" and "I'll report you to the cops for jaywalking / And I'll make sure they give you a jaywalking ticket." The music video, which premiered during the show, is just as ridiculous as the song itself. It features the trio and Charli XCX dressed as police officers, patrolling the streets and harassing innocent civilians, according to https://www.rollingstone.com/tv/tv-news/lonely-island-charli-xcx-cops-snl-1234645769/.

A Critical and Commercial Success

"I Report You to the Cops" has been met with critical acclaim, with many praising the trio's return to form. The song has also been a commercial success, debuting at number one on the Billboard Digital Songs chart. The Lonely Island's reunion is a welcome return for fans of their unique brand of comedy. "I Report You to the Cops" is a hilarious and catchy song that proves that the trio is still at the top of their game.
