the great Luke Ski
On the 2003 album of nerdcore pioneer mc chris titled “Knowing Is Half The Hassle”, he did a track called “White Kids Love Hip-Hop” which featured his fellow [adult swim] voice acting star Andy Merrill doing the voice of his “Space Ghost Coast To Coast” & “Cartoon Planet” character Brak delivering a rant about how how he couldn't find anything fun to do in the town where he lives.
Every year at the MarsCon Comedy Music Track there is a concert called the ‘Smackdown’ where all of the acts that performed that weekend come back on stage to close the weekend by taking turns doing cover versions of their favorite comedy songs. I, the great Luke Ski, have a long bucket list of comedy songs I love that I would love to perform a cover version of someday at the Smackdown concert. “White Kids Love Hip-Hop” has been on that list for years, with my assumption being that if I ever did it, the ‘Brak’ part would have been played by me doing my impersonation of Brak, as I had done for my 1998 tribute song “Baby Got Brak”.
In 2024, we were fortunate enough to book Andy Merrill as the Comedy Music Guest Of Honor at MarsCon. I was ecstatic. As I continued working on plans for the event, I eventually got around to looking at my bucket list of potential cover songs so I could pick one to cover at the Smackdown. When my eyes came upon the title “White Kids Love Hip-Hop”, it hit me like a power band blast… I could cover “White Kids Love Hip-Hop” and ask Andy Merrill himself to reprise his role as Brak for the rant at the end of the song. I asked him if he'd be willing to, and he said yes. And the audio record of that actually happening in real life is what this FuMP track is. After we performed it, Andy took his turn at the Smackdown and performed a couple of “Weird Al” covers to finish off the weekend.
I reached out to both mc chris and Andy Merrill to get their permission to post this live cover at the FuMP, and they both graciously said yes. So many thanks to both of them, you both have been inspirations to me, and have always been nice to me, which means a lot to this middle-aged fanboy. I admit, I do trip up a few of the lyrics in my performance, but I still think it went great, and it's one of my all-time favorite MarsCon memories that I wanted to share with everybody here at the FuMP.

FuMPCast All Caught Up
by Devo Spice
In October archive.org was the victim of a DDOS attack which took the website down. We use this site to host The Funny Music Podcast, aka The FuMPCast, so we were unable to post episodes in the feed or on the website. We were able to continue posting the YouTube videos, though.
Since archive.org went back online we have been trying to get caught up reposting episodes. All past episodes have now been posted. As of this writing the latest episode is number 755. Please note that your podcast app may miss one or more of the past episodes so you'll need to go into your app and manually download any episode it may have skipped. Alternately, you can listen to the episodes here on our website.
