Views behind the news headlines with the Croydon Insider

Have all the country’s politicians lost the ability to say, “No, thank you very much”? That’s just one of the questions considered by our panel guests in this latest, packed edition of the Croydon Insider. Our guests for this episode are Darryl Chamberlain, editor of another south London news website, the GreenwichWire, iC’s culture correspondent Ken Towl and former Olympic athlete Donna…

[phoebehalliwell]

Fun question. Say if there's an alternate universe out there where instead of the girls being girls, its men and you were to name them, what would their names be? Me I'd say: Philip, Paul, Peter, and Peyton. :)

hmm i think for prue bc prudence is just such an old school name i would probably go more old school for him name piper is very classic almost cutesy so i think i would mimic that phoebe is unique and very greek imo so i'd go for that and then paige kind of feels more modern and youthful so i think i'd go for

Phineas (Finn)

Phillip or Peter (I'm leaning towards Peter)

Paris or Paxton or Perry (I think Perry bc the other ones some too modern)

Percy

BONUS!! everyone else

Leo as either Leah, Leona, Aurora, or Dawn (i like the names that play with the name light)

Cole as Colette

Darryl as Darla or Dinah

Wyatt as Harper, Jordan, Riley, or Taylor (either after Dawn Harper, Leah Jordan, Leona Riley, or Aurora Taylor)

Chris as Christina

Melinda as Theodore (both Melinda Warren and Melinda Halliwell, the latter to go by Theo)

Patty as Patrick

Grams as Paul

Henry as Heather

Coop as CiCi

2017 Napa Valley A Cappella Extravaganza — VoicePlay live performances

VoicePlay on stage in Napa — photo by Haley Olson

Three years after their previous appearance, VoicePlay returned to northern California as the professional headliners for the annual high school and collegiate vocal festival in Yountville.

A post shared by J.None 🧈🎶 🎙📝🎬🎹🎸📽🤣 (@itsjnone)

J.None was excited to hit the road with the guys after performing with them at Disney World for the previous two months.

.

When you're singing for other a cappella singers, it's hard to go wrong with a little musical theater. VoicePlay has plenty of Broadway material in their repertoire, and this was the most recent addition at the time.

Details:

title: Seasons of Love

original performers: cast of Rent (1996)

written by: Jonathan Larson

arranged by: VoicePlay & AJ Rafael

performance date: 28 January 2017

My favorite bits:

J.None's smooth timbre on the opening lines

the way they seamlessly pass the lead vocals around (But why doesn't Layne get a turn? 😞)

that momentary silence before they start the first chorus

when the rhythm section really kicks in 🥁🎸

Earl's crystal clear high tone on the second verse

that jazzy harmonized riff from Eli, J, and Earl

the layers of sound in the final chorus

such a lovely ending chord

Trivia:

As Geoff mentions in the intro, the guys had recorded this song as a collaboration with AJ Rafael in October, and the video premiered on his YouTube channel a couple weeks before this performance.

.

VoicePlay refuse to be confined to any one genre of music. They've tackled everything from barbershop to hard rock, country to sea shanties, pop ballads to orchestral pieces. So why not revisit the rap hits of their youth?

Details:

title: Aca Top 10 – Old School Rap

original songs / performers: "La-Di-Da-Di" by Slick Rick & Doug E. Fresh; [0:16] "Going Back to Cali" by LL Cool J; [0:32] "Push It" by Salt-n-Pepa; [0:56] "Parents Just Don’t Understand" by DJ Jazzy Jeff & the Fresh Prince; [1:09] "Bust A Move" by Young MC; [1:32] "It's Tricky" by Run-DMC; [1:49] "Just A Friend" by Biz Markie; [2:12] "Ice Ice Baby" by Vanilla Ice; [2:21] "The Humpty Dance" by Digital Underground; [2:44] "Rapper's Delight" by the Sugarhill Gang; [3:10] "Walk This Way" by Run-DMC & Aerosmith

written by: "La-Di-Da-Di" by Douglas "Doug E. Fresh" Davis & Richard "Slick Rick" Walters; "Going Back to Cali" by Rick Rubin & James "LL Cool J" Smith; "Push It" by Hurby "Luv Bug" Azor & Ray Davies; "Parents Just Don’t Understand" by Pete Harris, Will "Fresh Prince" Smith, Jeffrey "DJ Jazzy Jeff" Townes; "Bust A Move" by Marvin "Young MC" Young, Matt Dike, & Michael Ross; "It's Tricky" by Joseph "Rev. Run" Simmons, Darryl "DMC" McDaniels, Doug Fieger, & Berton Averre; "Just A Friend" by Marcel "Biz Markie" Hall; "Ice Ice Baby" by Robert "Vanilla Ice" Van Winkle, Mario Johnson, Queen, & David Bowie; "The Humpty Dance" by Earl Humphrey, Gregory "Shock G" Jacobs, & George Clinton; "Rapper's Delight" by Bernard Edwards, Nile Rodgers, Sylvia Robinson, Henry "Big Bank Hank" Jackson, Michael "Wonder Mike" Wright, Guy "Master Gee" O'Brien, Curtis "Grandmaster Caz" Brown, & William Hankshaw; "Walk This Way" by Joseph "Rev. Run" Simmons, Darryl "DMC" McDaniels, Steven Tyler, & Joe Perry

arranged by: Geoff Castellucci

performance date: 28 January 2017

My favorite bits:

Layne kicking things off with some old school beatboxing

Earl recreating the breathy part in "Push It"

Eli handling the scratching in the back during "Parents"

the middle three busting some lowkey moves as the lyrics instruct them to do

everybody bouncing to the beat during "Tricky"

Geoff continuing the "Ice Ice Baby" bass line under "The Humpty Dance" after the other guys leave him hanging

Eli showing off some slides in "Rapper's Delight"

J's little wave in response to the "hello" in the lyrics

the record skip effect at the end of "Walk This Way"

Trivia:

The guys originally recorded this countdown live in the studio, where they could do as many takes as they wanted. It's even more impressive seeing them perform it in front of an audience.

.

This video is missing the very beginning because the fan who recorded it got over-excited about them actually performing the song live. But how could they possibly resist singing the theme to one of the most beloved TV shows set in San Francisco when they were just north the city itself?

Details:

title: Everywhere You Look

original performers: Carly Rae Jepsen & Butch Walker for Fuller House (2016)

written by: Jesse Frederick, Bennett Salvay, & Jeff Franklin for Full House (1987)

arranged by: Layne Stein

performance date: 28 January 2017

My favorite bits:

the bouncy descending bass line leading into the chorus

Eli and J grooving along to their own harmonies

Earl's scooping crescendo as a transition into the second verse

the call and response of ♫ "never go away" ♫ "like the Olsen twins" ♫ 👭

that quick crisp diction of the ♫ "how do you know… " ♫ section

hearing a few audience members shout "Hey!" in time with the guys

that big coordinated descending riff at the end

Trivia:

This song was the second entry in VoicePlay's PartWork series, performed entirely by multiple versions of Earl and Layne.

Before they flew out of San Francisco the next day, J.None took a side trip to meet up with a friend, see a bit of the city, and get some fresh air.

Bryce, Jordan, Jude, and 200+ More of the Best Gender Neutral Baby Names

There are plenty of reasons you might want a shortlist of gender neutral baby names. For instance, if you're not finding out the gender of your baby before their born, but you want to have a name decided on ahead of time - picking a name that works for any gender is the perfect solve. Or maybe you just prefer gender neutral names to baby names that are more traditionally masculine or feminine (although, of course, we love using a baby boy name for girls!) Gender neutral baby names cut across categories. You can find gender neutral names amongst Victorian-era baby names, trendy names, and more unique picks, which means you can find the perfect gender neutral baby name no matter what "vibe" of name you're going for. And to get your creativity going, we rounded up more than 200 unisex names that will suit your baby no matter what. Ahead, find some of our favorite gender-neutral names for babies, from A to Z.

Omggggggg it's been a long time I shouldn't have left you with a new magazine to read. Our XL Tribes Magazine Issue 10 With Darryl is here. However we back. This month's cover guy is Darryl Perry. Now before y, all say something these photos were taken when it was hot out in October. Or maybe I just wanted to heat up your winter. How have you be handling all the new insta fame? Honestly, I just remain the same guy I have always been...I try to interact with as many people as I can and just continue being consistent! I don’t let the numbers change me! I use it as motivation to grow bigger. I just realize things for what they are and handle them as such! Whats been your journey to becoming A Big & Tall Modeling? I kind of just fell into it...While I was on the journey of finding myself and my confidence I took one of my first shirtless pics by the pool and it got a lot of attention on Facebook. I have a friend who was a plus-size model and she told me some people to follow on Instagram. I posted that picture on the gram and the rest was history... How do you decided when add your singing with modeling? I made the decision to combine pages a few months ago...before modeling, I was only singing and I had an Instagram page for my music but it really wasn’t getting any love hah so I decided to just combine the two together to show my complete personality. It was a great idea I think! Where you always a big guy? How was life growing up? I was always the biggest guy in my class growing up! I didn’t know how to handle my weight, I was very awkward. I had to learn spatial awareness very fast. Everyone wanted me to play sports but I didn’t have that animal inside me growing up. I didn’t develop heart until later down the road! When your big most people determine your worth based on what you can do physically...it’s crazy! Whats the boldest move you made in 2020 and why ? The boldest move that I have made in 2020 was to leave Virginia and move to the Atlanta area...It’s a totally new place and I’m still trying to find my way! I have always loved an adventure though... So that we here ay XL Tribe can hold you accountable what’s one goal you have for 2021? I want to have my clothing brand “Kholo Lifestyle” launched by spring of 2021! Everything else I’ll take it as it comes but that is a major goal for me! If you could give your 10 years self advise what would it be? That’s a good question...I would tell him to stand up for himself and be strong! Find that warrior inside of you and go for whatever you want!

Law & Order Special Victims Unit Season 22 Ep. 8 "The Only Way Out Is Through"

While Benson is away dealing with a family emergency involving Noah, the Special Victims Unit tries to assist two sisters, Crystal Lucas-Perry and Sydney Elise Johnson, in finding closure. One of the sisters was raped at gunpoint while the other was forced to watch. This incident occurred in 2000 when they were tennagers. Tamin's cousin, Nicola Rossi, asks for her help after being raped by her date. Additionally, a rape victim from seven years ago, Jane Bruce, resurfaces and needs Fin's help to get closure from her rapist. However, she may get more than what she bargained for.

If you want to watch the series for yourself, stop reading! This post contains spoilers to the storyline.

In 2000, a child lies on the floor counting and tells her sister that someone is missing. In 2014, a defense attorney is hostile to a rape survivor on the stand. In 2021, a woman named Lily wants to slow down with her sexual partner. The next day, the woman calls Kat.

Two women came in to talk to Cragen or Munch, but Fin directed them to Benson. Benson remembered a horrible case involving the women and their mother. The women were seeking to speak with a detective now that their mother had passed away. Benson had to leave because Noah, who had been exposed to COVID, had a fever.

Kat meets with her cousin who met a billionaire online and was shocked when he followed her on social media and invited her over. He listened to her at first.

Rollins talks to the sisters. Their mother had made a deal that the rapist would not be charged with the assault to protect them from going to court. Imami didn't want that. She wants him prosecuted now. Rollins says she will call Benson.

Fin needs to discuss with Carisi the case of a rapist who is up for parole. The survivor arrives, expressing reluctance to participate as she has already testified once.

Benson speaks with Rollins about the possibility of restorative justice, although it is considered unlikely. Noah has a low-grade fever and no other symptoms. Kat calls to inform Benson about her cousin's situation. Benson states that there is not enough evidence to make an arrest. Kat believes that the suspect will get away with it because of his wealth. Benson suggests having Lily meet him for coffee and try to obtain a confession.

Carisi and Fin argue about Jimmy. A prison chaplain arrives and wants Jimmy to speak with all the victims. He has been attempting to apologize for years, and there are letters. However, Fin believes the victims will not accept his apology. Rollins explains that restorative justice is a lengthy process. Amika is unhappy with the situation. Carisi and Kat argue about her case before arranging a meeting with Lily.

Imami has a PTSD reaction when visiting her assailant in prison and believes she sees rats. Amika does not recall any rats and suggests that Imami wait outside. Rollins asserts that they are in control and can stop at any time. Darryl is being escorted in.

Fin informs Nora about the message from Jimmy in the park. Nora expresses disinterest in attending the hearing. Nora declines, and Fin takes them back. Fin hands over the stack of letters and asks if she has read them. Nora is skeptical of Jimmy's claims that he can screen the letters. Nora is interested in reading the letters, but Darryl maintains his innocence regarding Amika's rape. Fin has agreed to return the letters to the captain. He accuses them of ambushing him. He says he's never seen either of them before and makes racist comments about them.

The women try to get Darryl to admit he raped Amika. He says it's a possibility and it sounds familiar. Nora comes to see Jimmy. Fin is with her. He asks if she read his letters. He could only write them. He wants to listen to her. Nora tells Jimmy that she thought he was a nice guy, but now she can't trust her instincts. Jimmy apologizes to Nora for his past actions and asks for her forgiveness. He explains that he has done some soul-searching and is truly sorry.

Carisi is concerned that Lily will reveal their location. Kat is confident that she has prepared for this. The rapist arrives, and the police observe as Lily speaks with him. He denies hearing her say stop and insists on leaving. She stops him and begs him to stay so they can work this out. He sits back down.

Rollins asks why he targeted them and taunts Imami about how lucky she is not to have been raped. The group is then put on lockdown and Darryl is taken away. Akima is ready to go home, but Imami is not. The two women argue. Akima believes that the fact that Imami was not raped means nothing happened to her, while Imami feels like she is being treated as if she was on the sidelines and not a victim too. She feels that no one cared about her pain.

Lily onverses with the guy, who expresses regret for not stopping when she said stop. He was so infatuated with her that he lost control. She felt forced, and he felt sorry about that. They may start over. Lily takes his hand. Kat decides to move in without Carisi's approval. She arrests Xavier.

Meanwhile, Fin calls and says Nora has forgiven Jimmy. Fin tells Nora that he believes JImmy is deceiving her, but Nora disagrees. During the parole hearing, Jimmy discussed a restoration ceremony that took place at the prison. He had the opportunity to apologize to one of his victims, but he was mindful of not invading her privacy. Jimmy acknowledged that his victims may still harbor anger towards him. He discusses how he destroyed the women's instincts, using Nora's words. The parole board appears impressed, but NOra is angry and feels foolish. Fin apologizes, and Nora believes he will get away with it. FIn advises her to testify. The board is ready. However, Nora wants to speak. She claims that Jimmy is pretending and that his "nice guy" act is what he did before he raped her.

Rollins attempted to speak with Imami, but was interrupted by a guard who announced that the lockdown was over and they could leave. Imami revealed that her mother had never discussed the events with her and had shown favouritism towards her sister, leading Amika to believe that their mother pitied her. Imami felt neglected andd unheard during the attack. Amika saw Imami praying, which helped her get through it. Both women blamed themselves, but Rollins takes responsibility. They no longer need to talk to Clark.

Lily no longer wants to press charges. Kat tries to talk her out of it, but Carisi says it's over. Kat refused to listen, as usual. She ran after Lily and told her that Xavier had admitted his guilt. Lily believed that Xavier was sorry and had changed, but Kat disagreed, accusing Lily of doing what Xavier wanted. Lily defended herself, asking how they could have arrested Xavier when he was not a criminal and now they had a real chance.

Benson returns. Noah tested negative, is hungry, and eager to return to school. Fin and Rollins update her on their cases. Fin congratulates Benson on an award. Benson mentions a lawsuit looming over her and expresses uncertainty about attending. Fin encourages her to attend and take ownershhip of her success.

What's streaming this week: Donald Glover, Run-D.M.C., 'Choir' and bye to 'Curb Your Enthusiasm'

LOS ANGELES

The final, cringeworthy season of “Curb Your Enthusiasm” and a documentary on Run-D.M.C. are some of the new television, movies, music and games headed to a device near you.

Also among the streaming offerings worth your time as selected by The Associated Press’ entertainment journalists: Donald Glover starring as a spy in the new TV series “Mr. & Mrs. Smith” and a documentary about the making of the charity megahit “We Are the World.”

— Regardless of whether you think the 1985 charity anthem “We Are the World” is great or not, the making of it is fascinating. Director Bao Nguyen got access to never-before-seen footage and new interviews with Lionel Richie, Bruce Springsteen and Cyndi Lauper to help tell the story of how famous musicians, including Michael Jackson, Bob Dylan, Diana Ross and Stevie Wonder, got together one night for a marathon recording session. Nguyen told the AP in a recent interview that “The Greatest Night In Pop" humanizes "some of these icons that we’ve sort of idolized over many generations.” It’s on Netflix.

— So Greta Gerwig didn’t get a best director nomination, but the good news is that the Criterion Channel has a new series starting Thursday about some of the “Lady Bird” and “Barbie” director’s favorite films. Gerwig’s “adventures in moviegoing” includes David Lean’s “Brief Encounter,” Michael Powell and Emeric Pressburger’s “The Red Shoes,” Max Ophüls’ "The Earrings of Madame de…” and Claire Denis’ “Beau travail.” The channel also has a series on “Interdimensional Romance” with films like “A Matter of Life and Death,” “Wings of Desire,” “Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind” and both versions of “Solaris.”

— And for those who were curious about “Dicks: The Musical,” but not enough to bite the bullet on a movie ticket, it will be streaming on Max starting Friday. In an article about the movie out of the Toronto Film Festival, AP Film Writer Jake Coyle wrote that this “Dadaist riff on ‘The Parent Trap’ … may be the most demented riff on a familiar story yet. The film … has been called the most gonzo movie of the year. It’s lewd, ridiculous and surreal. Hanna-Barbera was an inspiration.” Josh Sharp and Aaron Jackson star alongside Bowen Yang as God, Megan Thee Stallion, Nathan Lane and Megan Mullally.

— Bob Marley & The Wailers, The Clash, Beastie Boys — what do these legendary artists have in common? They owe much to Lee “Scratch” Perry, a pioneer of the dub music scene celebrated as one of reggae’s founding fathers. Perry (real name Rainford Hugh Perry) died in 2021 — but during the pandemic, he worked on new music material, which will be posthumously released in his final album, “King Perry,” out Friday, Feb 2. It features guest performances from Greentea Peng, Shaun Ryder, Tricky, Marta, Rose Waite and Fifi Rong. The final track, appropriately titled “Goodbye,” is Perry’s final vocal recording — an ambitious and celebratory song that features Perry repeating his farewell over and over again. It’s a fitting coda, and still an experiment, bringing his reggae into synth wave, drum’n’bass, big beat, and electronica. Even in death, Perry is looking towards the future.

— When you’re done streaming “The Greatest Night in Pop” (see above), stay in the musical mid-’80s with “Kings from Queens: The RUN DMC Story.” This Peacock original documentary offers a close look at the early days of Joseph “Rev Run” Simmons, Darryl “DMC” McDaniels, and Jason “Jam Master Jay” Mizell's revolutionary group — finding inspiration in the streets, bringing hip-hop to the masses, and, in doing so, validating and legitimizing what will soon become the most popular style of music — and assisting in turning it into a billion-dollar business. Let’s face it, “It’s Tricky to rock a rhyme, to rock a rhyme that’s right on time,” is both an earworm for the ages — and some astute musical analysis.

— The new Amazon Prime Video series “Mr. & Mrs. Smith” is not your 2005 “Mr. & Mrs. Smith.” Instead, Donald Glover and Maya Erskine star as two stranger spies who meet and are required to marry for their cover. The series was created by Glover and Francesca Sloane, who says she looked to reality TV like “Love is Blind” and “90 Day Fiancé” for inspiration. All eight episodes will be ready to binge on Friday.

— “Curb Your Enthusiasm” fans are pretty pretty pretty disappointed because the show begins its final season on Sunday, on HBO. The irreverent comedy stars Larry David as a fictionalized version of himself who lands in awkward situations at every turn. Recurring favorites Jeff Garlin, Susie Essman, Cheryl Hines, and J.B. Smoove will be back.

— A new Disney+ docuseries called “Choir” follows the Detroit Youth Choir — who first made a splash appearing on “America’s Got Talent” in 2019 — as members audition and prepare to perform at Carnegie Hall in New York. All six episodes drop Wednesday.

— UK comedian Sir Lenny Henry used his own family history to create “Three Little Birds,” a BritBox series that follows three women moving from Jamaica to London in the 1950s. Henry says the show’s immigration story is universally relatable because all immigrants understand that it’s difficult to start over and build a new life. “Three Little Birds” premieres Thursday.

— Past seasons of National Geographic’s “Genius” anthology series covered Albert Einstein, Pablo Picasso and Aretha Franklin. Season 4 focuses on two civil rights legends, the Rev Dr Martin Luther King Jr and Malcolm X. “Genius: MLK/X” delves into each man’s formative years, rise to influence and differing philosophies. The first two episodes drop Thursday on National Geographic. It will also stream on Hulu and Disney+.

— Don’t worry, “Dateline” hosts, your jobs are safe. For now. Mike “The Situation” Sorrentino of “Jersey Shore” has entered the chat. He’s hosting “Statute of Limitations,” a new true crime show where everyday people who have committed nonviolent crimes tell their story. (Think: A thief who used a hot air balloon as a getaway vehicle.) What’s more, their statute of limitations has run out so they’re free and clear to talk. In 2019, Sorrentino served eight months in prison for lying on his taxes. “Statute of Limitations” will be available to stream beginning Thursday on platforms including Tubi, YouTube and The Roku Channel.

— England’s Rocksteady Studios built its reputation on 2009’s dazzling Batman: Arkham Asylum. Alas, the developer is turning to the dark side of the DC Universe with Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League. Rather than soloing as the Caped Crusader, you’re now invited to team up with friends as members of Task Force X: Harley Quinn, Deadshot, Captain Boomerang and King Shark. What do they have against Superman, the Flash and their buddies? Well, Brainiac has brainwashed the superheroes and now it’s up to the supervillains to save Metropolis. You can expect guest appearances by the likes of Lex Luthor, the Penguin and the Riddler, and publisher Warner Bros. Games is promising a steady flow of downloadable scoundrels in the future. The brawling begins Friday on PlayStation 5, Xbox X/S and PC.

Aca Top 10: Old School Rap — VoicePlay music video

If you've ever wanted to hear a group of 30-something white guys cover classic rap and hip-hip tracks, you're in luck. VoicePlay decided to kick it old school and spit some rhymes. It's a little earnest, and a little tongue-in-cheek, just like the music of the era.

Details:

title: Aca Top 10 – Old School Rap

original songs / performers: "La-Di-Da-Di" by Slick Rick & Doug E. Fresh; [0:18] "Going Back to Cali" by LL Cool J; [0:32] "Push It" by Salt-n-Pepa; [0:58] "Parents Just Don’t Understand" by DJ Jazzy Jeff & the Fresh Prince; [1:09] "Bust A Move" by Young MC; [1:33] "It's Tricky" by Run-DMC; [1:50] "Just A Friend" by Biz Markie; [2:14] "Ice Ice Baby" by Vanilla Ice; [2:22] "The Humpty Dance" by Digital Underground; [2:44] "Rapper's Delight" by the Sugarhill Gang; [3:10] "Walk This Way" by Run-DMC & Aerosmith

written by: "La-Di-Da-Di" by Douglas "Doug E. Fresh" Davis & Richard "Slick Rick" Walters; "Going Back to Cali" by Rick Rubin & James "LL Cool J" Smith; "Push It" by Hurby "Luv Bug" Azor & Ray Davies; "Parents Just Don’t Understand" by Pete Harris, Will "Fresh Prince" Smith, Jeffrey "DJ Jazzy Jeff" Townes; "Bust A Move" by Marvin "Young MC" Young, Matt Dike, & Michael Ross; "It's Tricky" by Joseph "Rev.

Run" Simmons, Darryl "DMC" McDaniels, Steven Tyler, & Joe Perry

arranged by: Geoff Castellucci

release date: 27 May 2016

My favorite bits:

Layne kicking things off with some classic beatboxing

Earl collapsing the boombox antenna in time with the pitch jump on ♫ "right" ♫

Tony busting out some lowkey dance moves from the "Push It" video

the smooth hand-off of the scratching from Layne to Eli during "Parents Just Don't Understand"

the melodramatic grit in Earl's ♫ "oh ba-by youuu" ♫

continuing the running gag of everyone else leaving Geoff hanging during one song in a medley

pulling out the Groucho glasses to emulate the "Humpty Dance" video

Geoff poutily continuing the "Ice Ice Baby" bass line under "The Humpty Dance"

the back row busting out their best Steven Tyler impressions for the end of "Walk This Way"

Trivia:

○ "Bust A Move" was part of VoicePlay's stage repertoire for several years. (See this corporate gig for an example.)

○ Earl also performed an excerpt from "The Humpty Dance" in a James Brown medley the guys did during their 4:2:Five era.

○ The guys are all wearing thematically appropriate shirts:

Eli — corded over-ear headphone print

Earl — "I remember real hip hop" with boombox graphic

Tony — Run-DMC shades logo (+ bonus MTV logo cap)

Geoff — Freddy Krueger with a boombox

Layne — DJ Jazzy Jeff & the Fresh Prince

○ The video description credits Earl as "MC Pee Pants". I'd imagine there's a story behind it, but nothing I've found so far has provided any obvious context. If anyone knows where that came from, I'd be fascinated to hear it.
