"Dick in a Box" is a song by American comedy troupe The Lonely Island featuring singer Justin Timberlake. The song and music video debuted on Saturday Night Live as an SNL Digital Short on December 16, 2006. The song regards two early 1990s R&B ballad singers (Andy Samberg and Timberlake) crooning a holiday song about making a gift to their girlfriends of their penises, which they have wrapped in boxes (strategically placed) and then topped with bows.
The song was originated from Saturday Night Live executive producer Lorne Michaels asking Samberg to write a track to showcase Timberlake's singing abilities. "Dick in a Box" was recorded in one night, with its music video filmed the following day. After being screened by NBC executives for content, the short debuted less than a few hours later. In its original network airing, the word "dick", a recurring word in the chorus, was bleeped 16 times.
