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.

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.

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.
