If you’re up to date on your social media then you’ve probably heard about The Lonely Island releasing a few new songs the past week. The one that absolutely caught my attention was the song about the Mona Lisa and how awful the painting is. As an art historian I can’t really disagree with what they’re saying in this song so I decided to share my exact feelings on every lyric in the song. Enjoy.
What's up y'all? This is Connor4real.
Ah very cool. What an interesting name.
You know I've been all around the world, right?
No, I did not in fact know this.
But tonight I'm on my dumb sh*t.
What does this even mean?
I'm landed in Paris at a quarter to noon.
You must be very tired because of the time change and all.
So excited to see her, I went straight to the Louvre.
Maybe you should put your bags in the hotel? Just an idea.
I heard she's exquisite, so I bought my ticket.
Heard? Everyone in the world has probably seen a picture of the Mona Lisa.
Pushed my way to the front of the crowd.
Well that’s just rude.
And I couldn't believe what I saw
The plot thickens.
Mona Lisa, you're an overrated piece of sh*t
This is actually very true.
With your terrible style and your dead shark eyes.
Alright...that was the style for the period. I bet she wouldn’t like your dumb skinny jeans.
And a smirk like you're hiding a d*ck.
Whoa.
What the f*** is this garbage?
Let’s not get carried away now…
Mona Lisa, the original basic b*tch.
How? Does she like pumpkin spice lattes? Explain.
Traveled thousands of miles to see your beautiful smile.
Well, that’s dumb. Paris has much more to offer than the Mona Lisa.
Talk about a bait and switch, you ugly.
So rude.
I'm landed in Cairo to see the pyramids, but what did I find there? A dirty pile of bricks.
This is wrong. The pyramids are amazing.
There was trash all over and a very foul odor . The smell was that of a camel's a**.
Ouch.
But even that wasn't as bad as...
Tell me more.
Mona Lisa, you're worse than the pyramids.
Not even a reasonable comparison.
Can someone explain why the whole wide world is obsessed with a Garbage Pail Kid?
What in the heck is Garbage Pail Kid?
Looks like a Garbage Pail Kid.
Deja vu.
And DaVinci must have sucked an art historian's d*ck.
I mean maybe? But probably not.
To get this girl who looked like uncooked bread at the top of the all-time list of paintings.
We need to have a chat about bread and paintings.
Mona Lisa, I got to know.
Ask away.
Where the f*** are your eyebrows, I really wanna know.
As does the world.
You could land a helicopter on that big potato forehead.
Could you really?
Get this chick some Rogaine.
This is getting personal.
You a bloated corpse, girl.
Oh no, that’s uncalled for.
I'm an American man, this is my native land.
Ah yes, we’re getting to the root behind all of this hostility.
Where no one lies about paintings.
Yes we do.
But that's not the case in France.
The French hate plenty of paintings I’m sure.
Where the naked ladies dance and they look like Dennis Franz.
Okay, these references are getting out of hand.
You're so mangy, Mona.
Is she really?
Hair part wider than a country road.
What even?
Unless you count cats, she died alone-a.
Maybe. I actually don’t know.
The Mona Lisa sucks, la da da da da.
I agree with this statement.
Final thoughts: It’s absolutely hilarious and it’s not completely wrong when it says the Mona Lisa is an overrated painting. It absolutely is and while DaVinci was a brilliant inventor, the Mona Lisa wasn’t his most successful painting. Hope you enjoyed my thoughts on this song.
