Cartoons in the Hood
I was driving in my…ahem…new car (its a relevant detail…no really…it is) yesterday. As I was flipping around the previous owners radio pre-sets I came across a hip hop station. I thought I’d give it a listen and boy! Am I sure glad I did. I listened to a song with the best lyrics i’ve hears in a long time. My favorite line that made me LOL a bit was “You can call me Mr. Flintstone cuz’ I’m gonna make your bed rock”. Man! That’s gold.
It got me to thinking that I should have been a hip hop lyric composer because I can think of a lot of other cartoon references that could be used to express a sort of…double meaning, if you will. Here are a few I came up with off the top of my head using the same lyric pattern. I’m thinking a Grammy is coming my way…
*You can call me a Care Bear cuz I’ll help you out of a tight spot.
*You can call me Curious George cuz I’m gonna get lost in your department store.
*You can call me Wolverine cuz I’m gonno go crazy and slash everyone to death. (Maybe not quite as catchy…)
*You can call me Mr. Rocky cuz I’m gonna make your Bull Winkle
