So I wanted to say something snarky about singer* Kevin Rudolf on Twitter the other day, but I couldn’t fit it in 140 characters. All I needed was a Fat Albert episode guide to link to, but to my surprise I couldn’t find one. Now that I know you can’t find everything on the Internet, I’m not sure what to believe in.
Anyway, I once saw an episode of Fat Albert where his friend becomes a rock star with a song that consists solely of singing “I’m a rock ‘n roll star” over and over again. Things are going great, till she plays Fat Albert her second single, which is the exact same song, only this time the lyric is “She’s a real cool kid.”
I was subjected to Kevin Rudolf’s second single by some radio station or another the other day. It’s the same damn song. I dare you to tell them apart: Let It Rock, Welcome To The World. (Links require iTunes.) Kevin Rudolf and Fat Albert’s friend — could they be the same person (with a little gender reassignment surgery thrown in)?
* – I use the term singer loosely. Anybody who saw his performance at halftime of the NBA All Star game would probably concur.
