Thank you so much, Subby, for posting this! I've been trying to find Chevy Chase's rap for years but I never knew the name of it.

Man, listening to that over 28 years later really brought back memories.

while clicking through those I invoked the ghost of 80s rap and I saw it fall on its knees and squeal for mercy with tears in its eyes

weird. i just saw mel brooks groping women while wearing a period costume. i have adblock on my browser though, so maybe that's the difference.

I got a kidney-shaped pool with a stone in it.

Does subby realize those were trying to be humorous and thus the comparison to Vanilla Ice isn't exactly valid?

How could they have left out John Wayne?

Rappin' Duke

"200 punks? Well, whatcha gonna do?
I got two six shooters that'll see me through.
That's twelve dead...
and a hundred and eighty-eight pallbearers."

Da-Haaaa, Da-haaaaa.....

I love you young people today,
with your rock and roll,
like that Eddie Van Heflin.
[Van Halen!]
Whatever.

HappyHarryHardOn: all of it comes out img1.fark.net

And then there are the Beastie Boys

FFF: Fernando?

I liked the Dangerfield rap when it came out. I believe it was even a top 40 hit. Sue me.

What, no Bob Hope rapping? (Think it was early '90's when he did it)

Didn't Jim Belushi "rap" a lot on Saturday Night live in the early 80s? That was pretty farking abysmal.

don't forget Dee Dee King, Dee Dee Ramone's unholy hip hop career.

Vanilla Ice still sucks.

Yeah I gonna stick with vanilla ice, subby

Gangway Fathead: Didn't Jim Belushi "rap" a lot on Saturday Night live in the early 80s?

"White Guys", circa 1985 (can't find video).

Article forgets:

Tom Hanks and Dan Ackroyd (truly execrable)

franjrt: I liked the Dangerfield rap when it came out. I believe it was even a top 40 hit. Sue me.

Yes. In 1984 (warning, plays automatically)

I liked it too. Good old Rodney.

pwhp_67, why did you post that? I had to go watch it and feel uncomfortable all over again.

What about Eddie Murphy's "My girl wants to party all the time"?

T U R T L E POWER

GO NINJA GO NINJA GO!

TeddyRooseveltsMustache: What about Eddie Murphy's "My girl wants to party all the time"?

That was a masterpiece compared to these.

no idea where to find it, but "macho man" Randy Savage" did one that was equally horrid.

TeddyRooseveltsMustache: What about Eddie Murphy's "My girl wants to party all the time"?

That's my favorite song when it comes to annoying American colleagues. I've almost managed to convince them that it's been huge in Germany.

/And it sounds great with a tone deaf German accent.
//Evil? Maybe. A just revenge for all those unfounded Hasselhoff accusations? Certainly.

WhyteRaven74: Does subby realize those were trying to be humorous and thus the comparison to Vanilla Ice isn't exactly valid?

Who cares? He's on a roll.

Mel Brooks actually has decent flow.

/can't believe no one's sampled the "It's good to be the king"

Rich Little did his own rap song on his followup album to First Family Rides Again: The Contra Rap. (new window)

I thought all horrible rap songs started with, "My name's _____ _____ and I'm here to say..."

Today I learned that there is a level of rap below horrible.

It's funny because they all sound like Eminem.

I should probably be ashamed to admit that I have the Joe Piscopo album with the Honeymooners Rap on it.

And it's still stuck in my head.

And they forgot that Marc McCollum did a rap as various cartoon characters in his stand-up act back in the 80s. I think he did one as Popeye and one as Bugs Bunny.

I remember Rodney Dangerfield's song got lots of play on VH1.

/see that lawn? yeah, its mine, so you can get off it right now

You know what subby?

I am a rather open-minded man, and I sometimes click things on the internet I really shouldn't click, sometimes out of curiosity, and sometimes muttering the mantra of true terror "It can't possibly be that bad."

And still, I can't bring myself to watch that.

There's only one Lite beer in the USA/ Mamamamiller Lite, Hey!

Billy Crystal is mahvelously not obscure.

Ahh, the good ol' days, when mainstream society thought rap was novelty music for children.

zimbach: Ahh, the good ol' days, when mainstream society thought rap was novelty music for children

It still is.

balthan: It's the biatches that'll gitchas

Came here for this.

I actually remember most of these. Problem is they suck about as much as any rap I've heard from "real" rappers in the last 10 years.
