2nd. Not sure it needs it

Coolio's biggest hit was Gangsta's Paradise, a number-one hit in 1995 which featured L.V. and won a Grammy award for best rap solo.. Weird Al Yankovic got permission from Tommy Boy Records to do a parody called Amish Paradise but Coolio himself objected. After getting royalty checks from sales of the song, Coolio acknowledged he was stupid to oppose the parody – and he said it was funny.

But really... it was a Stevie Wonder song to begin with that Coolio reworked.

Really. Tell me more.

 

[Channel98]

Yes, from the 1976 Songs In The Key Of Life album.

I'll let 98 fill you in on the details

 

[IdRatherBeSkiing]

That's closer than "Ghostbusters" & "I Want A New Drug".

 

[Channel98]

Do I want to spend a few minutes of my life
Writing a parody of Amish Paradise
Which was a parody of Gangsta's Paradise
Which was adapted from Pastime Paradise?
Tell me if you think I'm wrong
But we don't need a fourth version of the song

 

[scotchandcigar]

Yes, from the 1976 Songs In The Key Of Life album.

Holy shit! I have that album, and hearing that song, I remember it. But I never recalled the connection.

Of course.

Did someone in the movie just die?

 

[scotchandcigar]

OK, I'm seeing that Coolio's song was in the movie maybe?

 

[sadchild]

Coolio himself objected

He sure did! Can't seem to find it now but years ago I saw a clip where Weird Al said Coolio was originally quoted as saying, "He betta watch his back" and was actually a little nervous.

But when the checks started rolling in for the parody, Coolio was suddenly cool-ee-yo with it

Did someone in the movie just die?

Yea, the character Jane Foster.

Lazy coroner's catch all. He could have also said 'heart failure'.
