HOLY CRAP I JUST SAW BIZ MARKIE ON THE CHRIS ROCK SHOW SINGING 'BENNIE AND THE JETS'

this was the greatest moment of my life

I'd be more overwhelmed if a performance of him doing that wasn't already on the Beastie Boys greatest hits -- or was this a dramatic reworking?

are you kidding? (i don't own any beastie boys) because if so, i'm so excited. i was hoping i could download this performance somewhere.

and it was a dramatic reworking -- the falsetto -- the falsetto

Nope, not kidding. It's on there, including the falsetto.

It's wondrous because it sounds EXACTLY like the Elton John version until Bizmark's voice comes in so you can use it to ambush the shit out of people

I saw him do that live once - with the falsetto. However, considering that the Biz was a last minute replacement for A Tribe Called Quest, who broke up the night before, I was somewhat underwhelmed by the entire affair.

Did he mumble/slur/forget 2/3 of the lyrics on the Chris Rock Show performance, too? (Not that I blame him; can anyone understand Elton in that song?)

― Nate in ST.P (natedetritus), Wednesday, 25 February 2004 06:43 (twenty-two years ago)

first of all there was a very rocking live band.

secondly, i was totally surprised that he knew and was on point with all of the lyrics

is the song on the Beastie's G.H. called B&TJs? or is it just called skit or something?

its just called Benny & the Jets

i downloaded the mp3. it sounds like it's live (or it has fake audience noises underneath it all), but it's nowhere near as great as the performance on chris rock
