#152 - Sing Sing
Friday, August 4th, 2006There is probably a reason that I never (or rarely ever) write song lyrics.
Thanks to Brandon for advice and Ice Cube for inspiration.
Contest: Set the lyrics to music. Best one gets $20 USD. You gotta make it big. Also, I will post the song here. Purple asked for it, I’m just trying to enable the delivery.

Dude, you should probably change that “first person who…” to a safer “person who best…”, because I’m an inept musician, and I’m pretty tempted.

Yeah, done.

So, how long do we have to do ‘dis?
‘Cause I’d like to take a crack at it, but I’m going to my ladies’ place for the weekend, and I’d hate to miss my chance due to being busy with the pre-maritals.

Let’s say it has to be in by next Friday.

I like how the con in the forth panel looks somewhere between a geriatric Ramone and Leonard Nimoy

Ok, so I tweaked the lyrics a little to fix the wonky rhythms, and imagined it to the backing track from Sugarhill Gang’s “Rapper’s Delight.”
C. R. I-S-P
That is who we claim to be
Cuttin’ your throat cuz you killed a cop
Rhythm and a shiv is what we got.
CRISP is in the house
And surely you will find
We will stab you in the face
While lovin’ your behind.
You better think quick
You better act fast
Cause the broomstick’s heading
Up your ass.
You better think quick
You better act fast
Cause the broomstick’s heading
Up your ass.
We’re the boys of CRISP you see
And we think you oughta know
That killin’ cops is a jive-ass game
So you’re headin’ down below.
Now we’ll end your life
But one thing you oughta hear
We’ll show you off to claim our fame
With a rod stuck in your rear.

The con in the fifth panel reminds me of Ricky Schroeder, I think that’s his name, from his dorky days before he was all hip on NYPD Blue.
Props to Aaron.
