2763828, my picks Posted by johnbook, Sat Dec-15-12 03:04 PM
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. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rabbit_Test_%28film%29
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) http://www.dailymotion.com/video/xxpra_busta-rhymes-new-york-shit_music#.UMzXXazheSp 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".
