Bobby Jimmy & The Critters: Roaches

Probably my favorite novelty song of all time. Apparently a parody of a song called "Rumors" (I only heard a version of it on The Proud Family), this song about roaches getting all the over the place is charmingly stupid. My dad used to play this all the time in the car and I loved it. It's what every stupid internet parody should aspire to.

Song Score: 30/10

The 1986 Pandora radio station played Club Nouveau's hit Rumors, so of course I had to find the parody.

Roaches think they cute, Girl I’m not impressed; It ticks me off when I find ‘em Wearin’ my momma’s dress.

Okay how long until these Anons have traumatized all the Smiling Critters-?

*Gives Picky some orange dream cookies I made at work*

So far only Bobby and Bubbaphant haven't been traumatized yet, and I hope to the Mighty Jimmy I didn't just jynx it-

Honestly, I have no idea.

She subconsciously offers a cookie to minnesotamedic186 and eats one herself.

Bobby and Bubba haven't, neither have I, but we don't know when these Anons will stop.

They'll probably keep going until they break each and every one of us!

She shudders.

I hope it doesn't come to that.

Influential #records in my life #33. I was a fan of #WeirdAl in 1985-87 like most kids my age. Al did pop parodies: Madonna, The Knack, Queen, Michael Jackson... and although he did later, he didn’t do any #rap parodies in the early days. I always wondered why as a kid. I had no idea how underground the #hiphop I was listening to really was at the time. You were lucky to hear The #BeastieBoys, maybe #RunDMC on the R&B station. Not much else. I always wondered why Weird Al never covered 2 Live Crew: SOMEBODY SAY HEEEEEEEY WE WANT SOME PUUUUUUUDIIIIIIIIING!!! 2 Live Crew were big amongst me and my 10 year old friends. Enter Bobby Jimmy and the Critters out of #LosAngeles. Running in the same circles as #NWA, Arabian Prince was a member. Pretty sure I first heard them on a tape a friend had of the Dr Demento show. These dudes did sharp parodies of classic raps like Doug E Fresh and Slick Rick’s LaDiDaDi (Gotta Potty), Times Social Club’s Rumours (Roaches), MC Hammer’s Let’s Get It Started (Somebody Farted). They did spot on send ups of early bass music (We Like Ugly Women) and clowned the popular groups coming out of New York like The Beastie Boys (mocking their rowdy seemingly unintelligible vocal style) and EPMD (portraying them as asleep in the vocal booth because their flows were so laidback) at a time when people weren’t taking LA seriously enough. Bobby Jimmy is hilarious. F’real.

I was born in Fresno California in 1976, so when the Beastie Boys dropped “Licensed To ILL” back in 1987, I was in 5th grade. I had no idea of their history, their punk roots (or even what punk rock was)...

...I thought a brass monkey was a statue, I’d never heard of White Castle... etc etc etc. Hip Hop was still a new thing to me, most people around me didn’t like Hip Hop, they liked Rock... Particularly Hair Metal...

...or Classic Hard Rock like AC/DC, Led Zeppelin and other groundbreaking bands from the past.

Hip Hop was very new to many of us youngsters. It was a fresh voice and perspective. It was fun and way more interesting than a lot of the silliness blaring out of cars in random parking lots in my hometown. It was a shunned music by most people around me, luckily we had walkmans, allowing me to listen without criticism from my parents and other closed minded individuals who would constantly scream about how Hip Hop wasn’t real music, how it was just talking over non melodic backdrops. Luckily I grew up in the era of bootleg tapes at the swap mall, what little money I had went far towards my education because f’real, $10 for a cassette tape was a luxury but $3 for a shitty dub and a badly photo copied cover was occasionally do-able. (Even if the sides were always mislabeled and the printing was blurry. I still remember the lady behind the table of cassettes, holding her young child, telling me and my step brothers that if I stole from her she’d remove my young manhood and make me eat it... I never stole... from her.)

Hip Hop was so fresh, Run-DMC was on the radar, so were the Fat Boys, LL Cool J would reach us soon, Kool Moe Dee was a strong influece, Rakim, Masters Of Ceremony, Whodini, Bobby Jimmy and the Critters, Word Of Mouth with DJ Cheese, UTFO, Roxanne Shante, so many greats. 

The Sugar Hill gang was a distant Disco memory.

The Beastie Boys hit like an atomic bomb. Their debut cassette with the crashed plane on the front and the mirror image hidden profanity was in constant rotation in my headphones alongside Janet Jackson’s “Control,” Prince’s “Purple Rain” and tons of Freestyle jams that were all over urban radio.

Again, I had no idea what the Beasties were talking about on that record. Repeated listens as a teenager and eventually an adult (haha) started to reveal just how subversive and crazy the in jokes on that record were. In the early 90′s, lost tracks began to emerge. The song “Desperado” turned up in the Run-DMC action flick “Tougher Than Leather.”

Then the song “Scenario” emerged in the teen angst flick “Pump Up The Volume.”

Holy S#!T!!! What the actual F^%K is this crazy a$$ song? Where did it come from? Why isn’t it on the soundtrack?

“Scenario” is crazy, drowned in reverb, ultra violent and soaked in Schooly D influence. It’s as dark as hell is hot. Every verse ends with the lyric “Took her to the place, threw the mattress in her face, shot homeboy in his f^&%ing face!!!”

Dude...

This wasn’t the Beastie Boys I thought I knew. Years later a bootleg surfaced called “Original ILL,” 

which contained demo versions and unreleased cuts from the “Licensed To ILL” album including a Beatles cover.

It also had some alternate lyrics to songs that I knew so well.

The most notable difference is the many references to smoking crack, particularly at the end of “Rhymin’ and Stealin’,” ironically based around a sample of Led Zeppelin’s “When The Levy Breaks.”

At the end of the song Mike D clearly yells out “I smoke my crack homie!!!”

Dude...

New York was mad real in the 80′s, crack was common, the energy was intense. Small town / middle America / the bible belt was obviously not ready to hear these realities, even passed off as an in joke. “Licensed To ILL” was toned down and as a result became the biggest selling Hip Hop LP of its day. The Beasties evolved drastically throughout the 90s, even going so far as to change the lyrics to their songs, abandoning misogyny and homophobia.

However, if you want a glimpse of the insanity, just watch the ending of the original “Licensed To ILL” VHS:
