The dish

I know that voice…

So my daughter is two-plus now and she’s around the age for potty-training. She loves Elmo and most things Sesame Street (that’s my girl), so my wife bought her a DVD called Sesame Street – Elmo’s Potty Time. And we’re sitting here watching it when they cut to a rap song about toilet paper … and I’m thinking, “I know that voice.”

Long story short, it was MC Front-a-Lot, the greatest nerdcore rapper of them all and the man behind “Which MC Was That?” which is both catchy and hilarious. (Sample lyric: “Was it MC Pain-in-my-ears-just-to-listen? (If it was him I wouldn’t miss him.)” Maybe you just have to hear it.) IMDB confirms that it’s him, as MC Front-a-Lot is just the nom de mic of Damian Hess.

There’s no real point to this other than to express to my surprise at hearing MC Front-A-Lot on a Sesame Street DVD, but I guess someone at Sesame Workshop has good taste.
