Jack Johnson wrote and sang "At or with Me" for To the Sea, his fifth album, and it went out as the record's second single in 2010 on Brushfire Records. G. Love drops in on harmonica, and Robert Carranza engineered and mixed it.
The video is where the song finds its punchline. Andy Samberg, who had been sending Johnson up on Saturday Night Live, turns up at one of his secret shows and won't stop heckling; Johnson clocks him, aims the song squarely at him, then stops mid-tune, jumps off the stage and lands on him. The scuffle spills into the road, where Samberg gets hit by a car, and once Johnson has helped him up and the two have made peace, he climbs back on stage to finish. For a singer Samberg had spoofed as the mellow man incarnate, it's a pretty good comeback.
