CibbuanoThe Dragnet City of Crime rap video
March 19th 2009 22:05
Do you remember "Dragnet"? I sure do - it was the 80s, and silly comedies with lunatic screenplays and terrible 80s synth soundtracks were the rage. I was just a little kid, but I still managed to see "Dragnet" starring Tom Hanks and Dan Aykroyd, pretending to laugh at all the adult jokes that I didn't really get.
Well, it's over 20 years later and I never had a second thought about the movie, until I saw a link to a "Dragnet" music video called City of Crime. I don't believe it - Hanks and Ackroyd in a rap video with police-girlie dancers?
Believe it:
It's hard to take sitting down - I suppose the real magic of the video is that Dan Aykroyd makes Tom Hanks look cool. Really cool. And Hanks drops a better verse than Aykroyd, primarily by shrieking his lines.
Found on Reddit, where a commenter posts:
"rapping with complete & grammatically correct sentences is just wrong."
And the dancing? Oh, the dancing... I understand what's going on, of course. Aykroyd is trying to kickstart another music franchise - after he and John Belushi started a minor comedy earthquake with "The Blues Brothers", it only makes sense to try and conquer the rap world.
For more 80s soundtrack nonsense, what about Paul McCartney signed to write a song for "Spies Like Us"?
