  • Allcanadianamericanboybrady from Windsor,ont.,can.Your "government" doesn't work at all,which is why Traitor Trump will be re-elected.Rip-Off Robbie is lucky he's still with us,as untreated STDs can be fatal. Oh,and Richie Rich Robbie never saw a trailer (nor likely can spell "trailer") as his dad was a wealthy scumbag car dealer from tony Romeo,Mich.,an exclusive Detroit suburb. And why a talented singer like Sheryl Crow wanted to be this sewer rat look-alike's duet partner is something I'll never understand.
  • Blackhaart from 515Now dipsticks are trying to compare who is more blue collar? Who cares? Blue collar don't mean anything. Neither does white collar. Or no collar. Who cares? Do your thing, don't hurt nobody and don't send me or anyone else the bill.

    Back on topic. Wasn't a fan of KR at all. Had a few catchy songs. But when I saw him headline Rock Fest back in 06 or somewhere around there I was literally blown away and became a fan. I've been to over 500 mostly metal concerts starting in 1979 and his live performance is amazing. Very entertaining which is why one attends a concert. To rock out and be entertained and he delivered the goods.
  • Notcanadian from Michigan@Outlawbrady...lol, too much cheap Canadian beer. Such a bill does not and never has existed. The government does not quite work that way. Stick to your moose and Molsons, eh?
  • Outlawbrady from Windsor,ont.,can.Rip-Off Robbie's dad was a rich, likely corrupt used car dealer. My father worked at Ford of Canada from 1943 to 1980. Who's the TRUE blue-collar boy? (Though at 69, I've kept the boyish good looks of my younger days, unlike sewer rat-ugly Robbie)
  • Handsomebrady from Windsor,ont.,can.Rip-Off Robbie wanted to run for the U.S. Senate from his home state, Michigan, but the State Legislature passes and Gov. Whitmer signed a bill mandating Robbie reveal the meaning to "Bawitdaba." Since of course, it lacks a meaning, ol' Robbie had to suspend his senatorial candidacy.
  • Hip Hopit from UsaBawitdaba was a Busy Bee Starski chant. The chant from Wonder Mike in Rappers Delight stated with hip hop. Starski also had a hip-hop chant but he claimed that the chant originated with Keith Cowboy.
  • SeanNo its a sample chain and he used all three for the sample. The Marcels Blue Moon which in itsself a reworking of a surf rock songs I believe. Then Busy Bee Live At The Fever he David Parker on the song credits and Sugar Hill Gang.
