No, he parodied the Original Stevie Wonder song,... the name escapes me.

Yup! That was a poorly written question! If I were Coolio, I'd sue Millionaire too. Then again, if I WERE Coolio, I'd probably go to the barber first. :P

Hey, anth, be nice! Coolio didn't steal that song anymore than Al stole "Jack and Diane" or "Skeet Shootin'" or "Black Gold" or...wait a minute... :lookround:

Hmm, but did Coolio ask Stevie for permission? I think not.
4 words that Al said to me that blew me away:

"How's Problem Child doing?" - 7/12/11

So awesome!

He is credited, so I guess he had permission. But if Stevie could've seen Coolio's hair, he would have denied him instantly.

I'm sure they spelled it right, I think Dustin just accidentally put Gangster's instead of Gangsta. ;)

Al didn't get permission for the songs that I listed above. But I don't know if Coolio had permission or not. My initial guess would be that he did, since Coolio appears to be a relatively good-natured and someone who has integrity...and stupid hair.
