The FuMP
2010-08-29
Artist
the great Luke Ski
Title
It's Good To Be The King
featuring Devo Spice, Insane Ian, and Bud Sharpe
The short short version: Run DMC covers the career of Mel Brooks.
The short version: Recently on
my podcast Bad Rapport, I read
off a list of 11 song parody ideas I had come up with over the past 16
years that I never got around to doing. I told the listeners to leave
comments for the episode telling me which ones they think I should do,
and titled the episode "U Pick Luke's
FuMP"! In the following 2 episodes their feedback was tabulated
and the top 3 song ideas were established. Of those three, this song
was the least expensive to produce. Yep, I'm kinda broke, I got a
wedding next month to help pay for.
"It's Good To Be The King" is a
parody of the song "Down With The King" by Run DMC,
featuring Pete Rock and CL Smooth, and covers the career of comedy
legend Mel Brooks. That's 13
movies, plus his work on albums, TV, and Broadway, from 1961 to the
present. And since Run DMC had guest vocalists on the original, it's
only fitting for me to enlist the help of fellow Brooks fans Devo Spice, Insane Ian, and Bud Sharpe of Possible Oscar to give
my creation liiiiiife!, as Dr. Frederick Frankenstein would say. Music
and mastering by Jam Master Jared
Ringold.
The long version: Listen to Episodes 17,
18,
and 19 of Luke and
Carrie's Bad Rapport.
So pass the beans, and excuse me while I whip this out.

Awesome old school Luke sounding song!! yay!

This was the LEAST expensive of those three to produce? Holy underwear! What sound clips will your NEXT project involve? The entire original Star Wars movie?
At any rate, this was an awesome track. Loved the Naked Gun reference as well as the ending.

Springtime for Luke Ski and ....

A fitting tribute to all things Mel Brooks-ish. Way to go, Luke-Ski and Co.!!!! Nice "Twelve Chairs" reference: "Two Russians, one ruble"). Didn't think anybody watched that movie anymore, but you should've had Dom Delouise from that movie saying "Yah, Yah, Yah"! on the hill-side with the chair.
