Background
In 2015 The Lonely Island wrote, directed, starred in, and released the film Popstar: Never Stop Never Stopping, a mockumentary produced by Judd Apatow. The film was released on June 3, 2016 by Universal Pictures and featured an accompanying soundtrack from The Lonely Island. Linkin Park are featured on the song titled "Things In My Jeep". Vinyl editions of the soundtrack were issued on June 14, 2019 in four package designs based on the fictional Style Boyz and Connor4Real artist albums from the film.[1]
About the song, Phoenix said, "Mostly, that was Mike and Chester. I don't know if it was Andy or some of his people have reached out saying like "this is what we're looking to do", and I think those guys were on it as immediately as they heard the request. You know, being big fans of what they've done and kind of getting the idea. Just kind of a fun little project to work on."[2]
On May 13th, 2020 during a stream, Mike was asked by fans what the things in his jeep were. Mike replied, "If you guys didn't hear that, that was a Lonely Island comedy song that we participated in. It was pretty funny. Did they ever make a video for that? I wonder if they made... did like a visual, that shit was so funny. We were doing One More Light album when the request for that came in. It was so easy to do, it was so great."[3][4] On May 18th, Mike was asked about the song again and said, "It was mostly just emails and stuff, like they didn't really reach out. Kind of whatever, but, we love the track... the Things In My Jeep track."[5]
The version of "Things In My Jeep" featured in the film lacks the contributions from Linkin Park.

Lyrics
Boxing gloves, condoms and BluBlockers
Dress shoes, a sharpie and three quarters
A football / hacky sack / frisbee in the back and a baseball cap
Two folded chairs / Adirondack / and a mini-cooler full of healthy snacks
Beach towels / sunblock / surfboard and a sleeping bag
Bottle of water / cashew nuts / extra sauce / an American flag
Old boots / paper towels / Shop World: a novella
Deodorant / house keys (yeah) / sweatshirt / an umbrella
A golf club / basketball / bug spray / a laundry heap
A pocket knife / a battery / these are the things in my Jeep
These are the things in my Jeep / Jeep / Jeep / Jeep / Jeep
These are the things in my Jeep / Jeep / Jeep / Jeep / Jeep
These are the things in my Jeep / Jeep / Jeep / Jeep / Jeep
These are the things in my Jeep / Jeep / Jeep / Jeep / Jeep
Hairspray / a toy car / a deck of cards and some handy-wipes
A bag of trash / a shoelace / Rubik's cube and a flashlight
A bandana with my name on it / a mixtape / push play on it
Toothbrush and toothpaste / a Tic-Tac in a briefcase
A dreamcatcher / roadmaps / registration and insurance
A toy car / a rubber band / a tape of The Jimi Hendrix Experience
A cup holder / a steering wheel / a soda can in the backseat
A phone charger / an old wallet / these are the things in my Jeep
Hi / come inside / look around my Jeep (look around)
You will find such marvelous things
A broken stapler / some crumpled paper (yeah)
Prepare for an adventure inside my Jeep / (come inside)
These are the things in my Jeep / Jeep / Jeep / Jeep / Jeep
These are the things in my Jeep / Jeep / Jeep / Jeep / Jeep
These are the things / all of the things
These are the things that I keep in my Jeep
These are the things / all of the things
These are the things that I keep in my Jeep (things in my Jeep)
