Okay, admit it... somewhere in the back corner of your brain there are a select few songs that you remember from your childhood and smile about everytime you hear them. For me, as a child of the late 80's and early 90's christian "rap" era, the few gems that bring back good memories would bring most people to their knees laughing.
I stumbled upon a youtube of one such song today. As I listened to it, I can remember playing it a thousand times and doing the running man in my basement. I can remember dancing like a wild banchie and thinking I was so cool. But as I watched the music video, I thought about what my kids would think. How totally ridiculous and silly it looked, and how lame they would think I am. Shoot, I don't think it would be limited to just my kids. I'm sure there are quite a few adults that would get quite a kick out of it as well.
Even though it seems lame, I think there will always be a little place in my heart for this song. A place from 5th grade when middle-aged white guys could rap and wear baggy pants and we thought they were the coolest EVER!
Thought I'd share...
oh snap!

WE'll have to rock out to this one together. I think I still know all the words. I loved Carman.
