The middle verse was most particularly hilarious, when Eminem is causing a disturbance in a theater showing a Mary-Kate and Ashley movie. Live Eminem is staring wide-eyed as popcorn continuously erupts from the bucket in his lap. "Da doing, doing, doing!" Then as the cops come down the aisle, up from his lap he pulls...Triumph, setting up their top comic moment with Crank Yanker Olsen twins having a lesbian shower scene. Da doing, doing, doing, indeed.
They're just spewing good stuff all through the video, piled on such as to reward repeated viewings and listens. Nearing the end, Crank Yanker Eminem is fleeing in a helicopter, which turns out to be piloted by the most retarded Crank Yanker puppet of them all, with a trademark retard laugh familiar from promotions even to folks like me who haven't really watched the show.
Anyway, in the final moments Crank Yanker Eminem is setting in a strip club with Crank Yanker Dr Dre, who barks at him angrily, "Fux wrong wit you?" Crank Yanker Eminem responds "Ha!" in the trademark laugh of his retard copter driver. Then they drop in that perfectly cliched rap video shot of the rapper (Crank Yanker Dre) exhaling marijuana smoke in slow motion- and the retard breathing it in. That few seconds is still really funny to me beyond all reason after several dozen viewings.
Eminem ended up making a whole lot of things go together right here. He's got at least a half-decent song, with an exceptionally good production, and a particularly clever and skillfully engineered video that adds up to a striking comic effect. Throw in a few good simple dance moves from live Eminem and his girls, and you've got a really memorable piece of video art. Good show!

MTV's "Making Of..." added another layer of insanity on this video, with Em's Crank Yankers' version, jiving it up with Em, and Triumph, and loads more folks for a half-hour.
Great review, Al
2 - Sister Ray
Sounds groovy.
3 - Al Barger
Yes Sister Ray, it is indeed most groovy. Indeed, as a video this probably rates my favorite of anything I've seen from Eminem- though I'm sure I've missed a lot of them.
And thank you for your kind words, Aaman.

if you do could you please mail me.
5 - Bob A. Booey
Yeah, this wasn't bad.
I had to go back and read it to make sure it was written by Senator Al Barger.
I think if he really, really tried, he could almost be a real human boy.
That is all.

No, no no, this is not in support of Triumph, this is Eminem, still the petulant, over sensitive little boy, so obsessed over being called out by a puppet he had to write a DISS song about it. Please, get over it Marshall.

I hear Eminem wouldn't share Mariah Carey with 50 Cent. Anybody else hear about it? According to 50 Cent, Eminem was supposed to hook him up with her after he was [finished] with her. Don't know, and don't care if it's true or not, but here in Australia the "rag mags" will likely pick up on it soon. Should be an interesting read if nothing else.
