So many incredible songs, so many horrible horrible videos, though this show segment is better than most of those.

Apparently that whole 1979 Xmas special was full of this kind of strangeness.

Rap Against Rape Perform Anti-Rape Song: WHAT DID I DO WRONG?


It's funny.  The style and the dancing of the frontman are not that different from early videos of the Sugar Hill Gang, but somehow this is so much worse.  Maybe it's the moustache?

I suppose if a band had come out and early-Beatlesed-it-up in 1975, and I was watching the video in 1995, it would have looked equally ridiculous.
I really don't appreciate your sarcastic, anti-comedy tone, Bro!

Lets be honest, its a lot more than the mustache. How about the crew of "rap dancers" in the background that do the same dance move for five minutes. Or maybe that weird toothed chick who sings the chorus. Or the four corny white dudes who are totally incapable of rapping. Just the phrase "rap and against rape" makes me laugh.

What happened to RAPE: Rappers Against Phony Entertainers?

That rapper kind of reminds me of karaoke night in any bar in town where they beat you up if you look like a current or former college student.

I can't look away from the frontman.

Wally Wackiman, call your agent.  Time for an updated Wilkins Instant Coffee ad campaign.

What could be more in keeping with the tenor of the times than a new set of commercials where you kill people for not using your product? Political ads will probably get there by November 2012.

Rap Against Rape Perform Anti-Rape Song: WHAT DID I DO WRONG?

I think you're all missing the most significant detail: the entire song is being performed by rapists.
Oh, good heavens. I didn’t realize. I send my condolences out to the rest of the O’Connor family.
