It’s painful really. The tweenagers are basically taking over the classic milestones of our times and making it their own…in a very painful way. You think it’s just movies, right?
No.
They’ve taken music now. Check out the new Disney version of “U Can’t Touch This.” Yes, that’s the one by MC Hammer. Except…not.
Um, what? Skateboarding as the representation of badass? Seriously?
Is it the baby version? Or should we expect a newer version with kids in diapers in a playpen? This is basically doing the job. Now, it doesn’t sound like they’re changing the lyrics, but sadly, I don’t have it memorized and can’t verify right now (I refuse to listen that closely to this piece of garbage). But has anyone heard of context? They basically slapped a kickass artist around and gave him a pacifier in bright colors for this one.
Now here’s the real deal. The original, the way it’s supposed to be.
Mad props to YouTube and Capitol Records for remembering the classics. That’s the way it should be done (pants and all).
Now, for all those ABC Familys and Disney Channels out there, can you leave our stuff alone? Some of us are proud not to be a kid in our teens and remembering the ridiculous-yet-so-cool-at-the-time things that marked the growing-up process. From 20-something to adult, we like to be remembered for the original, not the Pampers version.
