"Motherlover" is the first sequel to "Dick in a Box" by the Lonely Island, also featuring Justin Timberlake.
The song finds the two ballad singers (played again by Andy Samberg and Timberlake) singing of their desire to have sex with each other's mothers (played by Patricia Clarkson and Susan Sarandon) as the ultimate tribute to Mother's Day.
The short was an effort between the two artists during a sleepless week of writing, recording and shooting before it aired.
The song was written by the Lonely Island (Samberg, Jorma Taccone, and Akiva Schaffer) with Timberlake on the Tuesday before the short's premiere.
Schaffer began editing the footage early Saturday morning and only completed the short within minutes of its broadcast debut, finalizing the video while the show was already live.
