# Military Hip-Hop Parodies US Navy's 'I'm On a Boat' Adds Brass to The Lonely Island's Badass By Marissa Brassfield | Published 2009-08-30 | Pop Culture Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/navy-im-on-a-boat References: [youtube](http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ASY6DXwRSo0) We all loved The Lonely Island's hip-hop celebration of all things nautical when it came out earlier this summer, but I'm quite partial to the Navy's 'I'm On a Boat' parody. After all, what better way to improve a [badass music video](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/working-for-the-weekend) than with some US military brass? The Navy 'I'm On a Boat' parody takes place atop a [Navy tanker](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/panerai-marina-militare-aviazione-navale), which is significantly cooler than any [yacht](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/chill-series), and T-Pain has been replaced with John Paul Jones. Check out the video above. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 1.6/10 - Popularity: 37% | Activity: 3% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 70% men, 30% women - Primary generations: Millennial - Top markets: North America ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Pop Culture](https://www.trendhunter.com/popculture) > [Media](https://www.trendhunter.com/media) ## Key Themes ### What Makes This Trend Stand Out - **Military Parodies:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Creating military parodies that combine humor with patriotism to engage and entertain audiences. - **Brass Music:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Incorporating brass music into popular songs and videos to add a unique and unexpected element. - **Nautical Themes:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Exploring creative ways to incorporate nautical themes and imagery into various forms of entertainment. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Music and Entertainment:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Collaborating with military personnel or organizations to create music and entertainment content that appeals to a wider audience. - **Marketing and Advertising:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Leveraging military parodies and nautical themes in marketing campaigns to attract attention and differentiate brands. - **Digital Content Creation:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Developing digital platforms or channels that specialize in military parodies and content, catering to a niche audience. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Pirate-Inspired Business Ads](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/run-a-tighter-ship.md) - [Player-Built Seafaring Boats](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/naval-update.md) - [Rapper-Collaborative Textural Sneakers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/concrete-boys-air-force-1.md) - [Pizza-Themed Music Videos](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/lucha-little.md) - [AI-Generated Rap Music Videos](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/love-you-more.md) - [Branded Breakfast Water Taxis](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/capns-commute.md) - [Network-Forging Nautical Apps](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/boating-apps.md) - [Rap Group-Collaborative Fashion](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/wind-and-sea-2.md) - [Rapper-Collaborative Frozen Pizzas](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/yachtys-pizzeria-1.md)
