Anybody else remember that SNL skit? Was it Dick Butkis? Also: In 1983, Contemporary Christian artist Steve Taylor released "Bad Rap (Who You Tryin' To Kid, Kid?)" which actually contains some awesome lyrics: <i>Now L.A. hip and N.Y. chic Been dancing lately cheek to cheek While Midwest good ol' boys like me Should all be playing catch-up, see Subscribe to the Village Voice in throngs And guess who gigs at Madame Wong's Well drop your pens and pant designs And drop six words in your open minds: Who you tryin' to kid, kid?</i> And then after that it gets all Christiany, connecting abortion to kiddie porn, etc. But I still love that "drop your pens and pant designs" line. “We’re white guys, we take no crap when we deliver our…white rap.” Anybody else remember that SNL skit?

Now L.A. hip and N.Y. chic
Been dancing lately cheek to cheek
While Midwest good ol’ boys like me
Should all be playing catch-up, see

Subscribe to the Village Voice in throngs
And guess who gigs at Madame Wong’s
Well drop your pens and pant designs
And drop six words in your open minds:

Who you tryin’ to kid, kid?

And then after that it gets all Christiany, connecting abortion to kiddie porn, etc. But I still love that “drop your pens and pant designs” line.
