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

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:

Steven Bochco: 1943-2018

On the Mt. Rushmore of TV creators next to faces like Norman Lear and David Chase, there should be a spot reserved for Steven Bochco, the man who changed the medium of television drama in the way he emphasized ensemble over star vehicles and multi-episode arcs over standalone stories. Shows like “Hill Street Blues,” “L.A. Law,” and “NYPD Blue” earned Bochco a stunning 10 Emmy awards, along with prizes from the Directors and Writers Guilds of America and four Peabody Awards. In 1996, he was inducted into the Television Hall of Fame. He should probably have his own wing.

After graduating from Carnegie with a Theater degree, Bochco started his career at Universal Pictures, learning the craft of television writing on shows like “Ironside” and “Columbo.” He’s also credited with co-writing the 1972 sci-fi classic “Silent Running.” After a few other hits and misses, Bochco changed the TV landscape with “Hill Street Blues,” which ran from 1981 to 1987 and still serves as a template for a lot of ensemble television drama over three decades later. The use of handheld cameras, the subplots that would continue over multiple episodes, the realistic approach to violence—Alan Sepinwall wrote on Hitfix in 2014, “If you come to see it for the first time after a lifetime of watching the copies, it could be at risk of playing like a bundle of clichés—even though it invented those clichés.” It was nominated for 98 Emmy Awards over the course of its run, winning Outstanding Drama Series from 1981 to 1984. It’s also worth noting that “Hill Street Blues” was the lowest-rated show picked up after its first season. It took commitment from NBC to eventually become a massive hit, and one wonders if that kind of commitment to something that hasn’t caught on immediately exists any more.

If Bochco had only created what TV Guide named the #1 Greatest Drama of All Time in 2013 then he would have a notable legacy on the medium he loved, but he wasn’t done. After a couple misfires (including a show called “Bay City Blues”), Bochco struck gold again with “L.A. Law,” which ran on NBC from 1986 to 1994 and won 15 Emmys, including four for Outstanding Drama Series. “L.A. Law” again employed the ensemble template, and turned most of its cast into stars. It also explored themes and subject matter that television seemed largely afraid of in the late ‘80s and early ‘90s, often through the lens of how the law responded to issues like homophobia, mental illness, and capital punishment. It was a formative show in terms of how network drama could address serious issues.

The success of his two juggernauts allowed Bochco the creative freedom to make some crazy decisions, which led to shows like “Cop Rock” and “Capitol Critters,” but also gave us “Doogie Howser, M.D.,” a show still beloved by a certain generation of viewers.

Bochco’s greatest success for this TV critic came in 1993 when he teamed up with David Milch and convinced ABC that viewers at 10pm EST could handle truly adult subject matter on the show “NYPD Blue.” The program ran for 12 seasons, and won 20 Emmys on the back of 84 nominations. Dennis Franz, who gave one of the best performances in TV history, won Lead Actor four times. At its best—and it certainly went up and down over 12 years—“NYPD Blue” had the perfect balance of “cases of the week” along with developing its characters’ back stories across multiple episodes. We felt like we knew Andy Sipowicz, Arthur Fancy, Sylvia Costas, Greg Medavoy, and later Bobby Simone, who Jimmy Smits played so unforgivably. Actors would come and go, including David Caruso, Rick Schroder, and Mark-Paul Gosselaar, but they all made an impact. Even characters who would be mere plot devices on other modern ensemble shows felt three-dimensional. When “NYPD Blue” was great, it was the model for ensemble drama television, and it was built on the Bochco foundation from over the decade before.

There were other shows, including the underrated “Murder One,” but he basically retired in the late ‘00s. He reportedly received a stem cell transplant to treat leukemia in 2014, and that could be related to his death today at the age of 73. No cause was given. We send our condolence to his friends and family. TV wouldn’t have been the same without him.
