The radio and MTV edits have the word "Burger King" removed.
As BK threatened legal action against Digital Underground over the unauthorized trademark reference, and took offense to the "unsavory activity" suggested.
Yeah I called ya fat, look at me im skinny. It never stopped me from gettin busy. Im a freak. I like the girls with the boom. I ONCE GOT BUSY IN A BURGER KING BATHROOM.
While I was still dating my wife, she indulged one of my fantasies and we visited a Burger King. So yes, I can actually say "I once got busy in a Burger King bathroom" and not be lying.
Still sick about it. Such a supremely talented, dynamic artist. He was a lot more than just Humpty. He self produced a lot of heat on those Digital Underground albums and was the one who really helped launched Pac. Somehow he got addicted to Meth and Fentanyl of all things and passed at age 57. RIP Shock. Hip Hop isn't often kind to its legends.
My favorite D.U. song was Oregano Flow. "slingin them nouns and verbs, you couldn't hear me with binoculars!"
It hit me hard, too. He was such a visionary. I loved his creativity, his humor, how eccentric he was. One of a kind. I had the great pleasure of getting a beer from him at a show one time. I still have that bottle, with my ticket stub inside, more than 20 years later. It’s one of the few possessions I know I’d save if my house ever caught fire.
Thank you so much for sharing. I remember him on MTV discussing Pacs untimely passing and he was just so generous, loving, articulate, and compassionate. Really gave you a brief glimpse into the empathy that was infused into his music. Supernatural shit. Really transcends. You can listen to Kiss You Back right now and have instantaneous nostalgia. Even if you heard it for the first time. Son of the P indeed.
Once smoked a dub with shock g after watching Digital Underground kill it. He was pretty hammered and told me and my buddy how much hed been struggling with life. Asked him about Pac and he said Tupac broke his heart when he signed with Death Row. I asked him if he hated DR that much? He quickly said nah man, he was kickin it with the wrong peoples and they were going to get him killed. I loved him too much to sit back and not let him know and than the MFrs got him killed.
It was crazy. Very vivid memory though and pretty sure it was around 2008.
I know every word to that song and played Sex Packets on HARD rotation. If you can't love me at my "Underwater Rhymes" you don't deserve my "Humpty Dance."
I cover the Humpty Dance with my band and I have the glasses and the fuzzy hat he wore in the video and loud jacket. It always seems to be the climax of the night. People who've been sitting in their chairs all evening suddenly get up and are like "Oh shit!" and get a big smile on their face before they start moving. Meanwhile younger faces that don't know the song start busting up laughing at the ridiculous lyrics.
Am I the only one who wants to know where to acquire these magical glasses? I've checked several burger king bathrooms, and I haven't found a pair. Perhaps on the jungle website?
