The Fat Boys featuring The Beach Boys -- "Wipeout" (1987)


  1. After Run-DMC had a groundbreaking rap/rock hit with Aerosmith on "Walk The Way," somebody thought that oafish rap group The Fat Boys and the then-nostalgia act The Beach Boys would be just as potent.
  2. What do boxers Hector "Macho" Camacho and Ray "Boom Boom" Mancini have to do with "Wipeout?" Isn't the term "knockout?"
  3. Best line: Beach Boy Bruce Johnston to one of the Fat Boys: "I wanna see you in a bathing suit!"
  4. If I was eating pizza in Little Italy and saw the Beach Boys riding by in an open convertible harmonizing to a rap version of "Wipeout," I would demand to know what they put in my topping.
  5. How out of place does Beach Boy Mike Love look watching the DJ's scratching vinyl in Times Square?
