Billy Crystal
"Frere Jacques" (from his first movie RABBIT TEST)
http://youtu.be/GgoPpx6h-98?t=1h7m56s
REASON: This was one of my favorite movies as a kid, because it was on basic cable and it was so stupid. The scenario involves Crystal getting pregnant and he travels around the world. In this scene, he goes to Africa and meets with a tribe who sings "Frere Jacques" in doo-wop form. The harmonies are great, and I want to focus on that, and while I know Crystal has done so much since then, I always loved that part of the movie because of how great and wrong it is. The scene in question, and a number of other elements in the film, are obviously racist, but you can blame that on Joan Rivers, who directed and co-wrote the film.

I don't want it to be considered a BAMBOOZKED moment, but I'll aim for it and take a chance.


Tyson Chandler
Busta Rhymes' "New York Shit" (emphasis at 1:07)

REASON: He's a New York Knick, so I chose a song that mentioned them:
"Yeah! I'm on my New York shit
I rep the Giants, the Jets, New York Knicks
Taylor made clothin with my New York stitch
My chick bangin don't you see my New York bitch
Yeah! I'm on my New York shit
You n****s know we deserve the props we get
Ridin up in the range I'm in my New York whip
International chicks on my New York dick"

You can opt to reverse the profanities, MTV style, so that "shit" can become "ish" and "bitch" becomes "chib".
