Ah, the semicolon. The defiant minx of the punctuation family that loudly trumpets: "I can be a period and a comma. You got a problem with that?". Unless you're Kurt Vonnegut, grammar nerds know that it is one of the flyest punctuation marks in the game as it separates clauses and gives periods some time to relax. Yeah, they're awesome. The Lonely Island crew (consisting of comedians Andy Samberg, Akiva Schaffer and Jorma Taccone) feel similar as I, as they plant tongue to cheek on this fractured grammar lesson that is appearing on their pending third set, The Wack Album (due June 11th). Of course, the song is "incredibad," and they don't exactly give the proper usage of the semicolon, but, hey, isn't that the point of these lampoons? Besides, Solange makes an appearance and sounds lovely on the hook, so this crime against grammar can be forgiven. "Semicolon" is not the School House Rock you grew up on, but if you're in the mood for a chuckle or two then have a seat and take in this wacky lesson.
