For those who don't remember the 90's as well as I do: Flea was even bigger than most people can imagine. He single handedly made bass cooler than guitar. There was a period of time from about 92 to 94 where playing bass was cooler than playing guitar. The entire first floor of my dorm played bass. I consecutively dated 3 bass players, and I wasn't the only one.

I was the best man at my best friend's brother's wedding. He was a familiar presence in my house for a long time and knew me well enough. He would come whenever we had a party or get together but he was very shy and never said much usually. He met his wife playing Final Fantasy 11 online (this was 2003 or 2004 I think). She was British and no one in his family supported the wedding. They thought she was only marrying him to get into the country. So he asked me to be his best man and my wife to be his wife's maid of honor. His brother supported the wedding and showed up but wasn't the best man so the rest of his family wouldn't be mad at him. Yes, we played this song at his wedding party. Yes, they are still married. No, they are not close with me or my wife but we see his wife posting on Facebook and they look very happy.

Also, he's played on heaps of stuff over the years... I remember when he showed up in Die Antwoord's clip for "Ugly Boy" to simply dance I was just like "yeah, well that was a given..." and the man is STILL going.

I distinctly recall a Cracked article years ago about washed-up one-hit wonders, and when they got to Young MC they basically just stopped making jokes halfway through because they didn't have the heart to be mean to him. They just loved Bust a Move that much.

So when he lost at the MTV Awards, did the headlines read "Young MC Hammered"? ...I'll show myself out.

It is always such a relief when I open KZread and there is A One Hit Wonderland sitting there. Like finding a twenty in the pocket of the jeans you only wear when you're a few weeks behind on laundry.

I saw Young MC on the I Love the 90's tour in 2016. He was the first act and performed only TWO songs (Bust a Move and what might have been a freestyle), and by the end, he was toweling himself off onstage, he was so sweaty and exhausted.

@@jimrustle270 you’re right, there is no skill in just copy and pasting a song into another song. The skill is in recontextualizing the original song into a new song. A great example of this is Eminem’s song Stan featuring Dido. He took Dido’s song thank you which is a love song about appreciating your partner and turned the first verse of that into the chorus of a song about a crazy stalked named Stan who ends up committing murder suicide. Not all samples can be done as well as that and 2022 was a year of bad and lazy sampling that was just copy paste but when done well it can be amazing. People wouldn’t really remember the song Thank You by Dido without that sample in Stan and Stan is also considered and all time classic and is one of Eminem’s best songs.

It's funny to see people still shocked by this 30+ years later. Truth is that a lot of the 70s/80s punk and alt rock guys were really into rap from day one. There was a lot of crossover between the two subcultures because they both were rejected by mainstream society (in the early days anyway) and they often lived in the same parts of town, so they were literal neighbors. If you really listen to it, the old school punk chant style singing and rap are similar. Go listen to Noh Mercy's "Caucasian Guilt" and realize that these were a couple of white girls in the late 70s doing this. The Beastie Boys started out as a punk band. Ice-T was into metal all the way back in the 80s, and then formed Body Count in something like 90 or 91. When I lived in LA back in the day, I had a friend who I'd take to punk shows and he'd take me what would probably be called "hip hop clubs" nowadays (the term hip hop wasn't being used yet). As a matter of fact, I took him to see Fear, who Flea once played bass for. Another friend introduced me to NWA back when _no_ mainstream folks knew who the fuck they were.

A label usually has a good idea of what new artists are going to be huge for almost a year before their first full project drops, which is why you sometimes see them in cameos for other projects months before anyone else has heard of them. The "insiders" know that including them is going to look good, even if the audience doesn't yet.

Riah Reviews I wouldn’t but if I could somehow recognize him by silhouette I’d like to show my appreciation somehow!

The remix of this song with Kylie's "Can't Get You Out of My Head" on Girl Talk's "All Day" album is so good it always feels like the instrumental is missing when I listen to the original.

Please do "I Wish" by Steelo... I love that song!!! "I wish I had my way, 'cause everyday would be a Friday and you could even speed on the highway. "

The song is memorable to me because of his performance at The Arsenio Hall Show, where he performed a freestyle during the breakdown segment.

This was rewritten in Old Navy commercials in 2005 as "Bust a Tunic", as well as its use in movies like "17 Again" and "The Blind Side" (both in 2009). It peaked at #7 on the Billboard Hot 100

"Hasta la vista baby" is from Jody Watley's "Looking For a New Love".

@@cannibalisticrequiem Now that I have had some time to cool down, I find it necessary to clarify some things: as stated before, I do not believe under any circumstance that I am owed relationships, full stop. I understand that my inability to attract mates or even friends is an issue that comes from me, and it isn't anybody else's fault or responsibility, and I find people like those on incel websites who espouse sexist and misogynist crap to be reprehensible. It is true I haven't been in a romantic relationship since I got clean from doing heroin in 2016. Depression has plagued me since I was a child (my first thoughts of suicide were when I was six) and to feel the warm embrace of opiates allowed me to forget about the interpersonal relationships I was lacking. I'm still trying to work on myself. I do hope that at some point I do find someone who loves me, whose love is reciprocated by me, but until then, I joke about my inability to attract not just romantic partners, but even friends. In a similar manner to the dark gallows humor soldiers are known for- they have to kill or be killed, so they make jokes about death, I have issues with relationships, so I joke about that. I thought that since Todd had the quote-unquote "celibate rope" in his hands as a sight gag, I'm make a joke saying that I too own the same unit. Todd seems like a great guy (from what information I can glean from a KZread performer who doesn't even show the top-half of his face) and probably doesn't mind slight jabs from his fans like such. That really is it. I understand that women have it hard in certain areas of life, and it has to be frightening or off-putting to some women when misogynist incels blame women for not dating them. That said, I just ain't that guy; you simply misinterpreted what I wrote, that's it, and I am sorry for the confusion. Also, as for my KZread name, I let my eight-year old niece use my laptop once and my name changes on all my Google accounts.

4:24 Point of order: "Hasta la vista, baby" originated with Jody Watley "Looking for a New Love", which was released back in January 1987. Tone lifted the line for his hit 21 months later, *then* Arnold learned it in T2.

I'm kinda surprised no one has suggested "A Thousand Miles" by Venesa Carlton yet EDIT: 1. Was not expecting this comment to get attention lol 2. Yes, I know she had other hits and singles around the early 2000s. However, she is basically remembered as a one hit wonder

@@noelleelizabeth9991 Todd has covered artists with less well-remembered second hits on this show before, so I wouldn't say that takes her completely out of the running.

I was born about a year after this song was released and I really wish I could have been there when this type of "corny, yet fun" hip-hop was popular.

Now I know about William Shatner covering "Bust A Move" in that Priceline commercial and I'm happier because of it. Thanks, Todd! =D

So I just went to read the lyrics to Parents Just Don’t Understand and that song is legitimately horrifying. Not only does the kid pick up a 12 year old girl who then starts trying to get in his pants but when he gets arrested and his parents pick him up from jail, they literally beat him. WTF Will Smith?!

Dam, this song is great.

I was a teen in the late 80s, so naturally I'd have the radio on a lot (radio didn't completely suck back then). My father is a boomer cowboy that only listened to country music and hated rap, but when Tone Loc would come on, he completely got into it. It was like someone flipped a switch on a personality circuit or something.

I always wondered who the girl was in the yellow bow. She was in a few videos back in the day. Anyway bust a move is a classic.

There's no way to know how many lives the line "don't just stand there..." has changed

Nice job, thanks for covering him. And yes, "Know How" is an AMAZING jam. Back in the day THAT was the track I'd rewind on the cassette.

“Know How” was a great track in the day. I would say just based on that he probably deserved more.

It’s a good day when you drop a new video. Love your videos watch them all thanks for the fun facts and the laughs

I love watching these One Hit Wonderland videos.

"Brainstorm" was one of the first casette tapes I rented from my local library, which yes was a thing you could actually do. I heard Keep It In Your Pants when I was 7.

This was pretty amazing. Every time I hear this song I smile.
