Putting aside questions of musical value (and they are musically worthwhile, as anything done by EPMD is), following the evolution of the jane story-arc is practically a sociological exercise of the evolution of hip-hop. From the relative innocence of old-school to more hard-edged rhymes and beats, not to mention jane's ever-changing hairstyles.

Now let's talk about why nobody did the Steve Martin

well, they DID say that the steve martin took time to learn -- truth in advertising, you know.

i like how that song gets almost dub-like at the end.

There was so many dances in 1988, who could have time to learn them all?

wait...there's a dance other than the cabbage patch?
