You know, Coolio. He made that one song that sounds like Amish Paradise? You know, that guy! That's all I really know about him. Oh, and he has a music video where people are getting out of a car. The other stuff I know about him has to do with him being a poop about Amish Paradise, but I dont want to talk about that. <_<

I don't believe it at all.

Most of these acts had their hand on the toilet handle before Al parodied them. Yeah they were popular, but most of them were flashes-in-the-pan at best.

I haven't heard it. Rhapsody doesn't have it. They also don't have The Safety Dance, Got My Mind Set On You, Wild Thing, or She Drives Like Crazy.

The only place I've been able to find the song is on the DVD of "Ruthless People." You can buy it used at amazon.com. You may be able to find it even cheaper if you look around a bit.

:lol:

Wouldn't that be "She Drives Me Crazy?"
"Weird Al" has a charisma that's all his own. The awkward, the misshapen, the socially inept flock to his banner.

They don't have that one either.

But yes, I meant to say the Fine Young Cannibals' 1989 hit.
