Andreas Krapp. German exchange student my senior year in high school. He pronounced it Crop, but our turd of a principal had shitty pronunciation. Even worse was a classmate named George Bates that our pervy Art teacher greeted him every morning as Master Bates.There are unfortunate names, but I can't think of one more unfortunate than "Agnes Ponder".
It's funny how it's only when you get older you realise that genius of Frddie just going "ee da be bee" or whatever and that it's not just random noises and then the part where Bowie's like "but love's such an old-fashioned word..." and I feel nostalgic for being able to experience things for the first time and being able to feel them properly and I doubt my brain will spark like that many more times but anyway it's a good song isn't it.
I do my part too. Any time it comes on and I'm in a group of people, I'll announce "Yo VIP, let's kick it!"And then Vanilla Ice ruined it.
It's amazing the arrogance of Vanilla Ice thinking he could get away with just ripping it off completely like that.
He should do a boxing match with MC Hammer on Netflix.Back in 2001 or 2002 he was doing a show at a bar that was about 6 blocks from my house, so some friends and I wandered up to check it out. He was in his dreadlocked reggae phase (I think? I wasn't paying a whole lot of attention). Anyway some dude in the audience was heckling him and a fight broke out and well, let's say ol' Rob van Winkle came out on the losing end of that scenario.
