Joe Public - "Live and Learn" video

Posted on August 24, 2006 7:43 AM

I don't wanna be the one to tell you how it's gotta be.

However, it is indeed Throwback Thursday again. This week, we're going to trounce a textbook definition one-hit wonder. Come along, it will be fun. In 1992, Joe Public released the Nickelodeon-ready, pre-packaged chocolate milk commercial that was the video for "Live and Learn." [watch it now]

Here are some bridges I won't mind burning.

Before we get into this, I gotta point out the young Miss Cleo in the beginning. She might have actually came out on top! Homegirl should have looked into their futures and told them that they’d be substitute teachers in 10 years.

I could have sworn I've seen that same ghetto foyer shot in a Tevin Campbell video around the same time. Yeah! Prince and Tevin Campbell were having a battle of some kind... a swordfight, maybe? Indeed, Prince was training young Anakin in the ways of the Schwartz.

These niggas look like a gay-ass Das EFX. I'm sorry. No offense to gay people. I don't see how the gay community would accept being represented by these Milli Vanilli ass motherfuckers. Unfortunately, not nann one of these mop-locked hoecakes has a singing voice strong enough to suggest foul play. Ain't one of them the producer for Kid 'N Play?

Tony Toni Tone must have been mad as hell.

Daily Dose of Reality: Even back then when Harlem was still New Jack City, you weren’t gonna find no fuckin gun in a paper bag in the bushes. That'd be like Christmas! I mean, you could find an abandoned crack bundle that way… but not a fuckin gun… potentially with prints and bodies on it. That scene was contrived enough to make me frown upon this poserama even back then. The kid looked a little too much like Jimmy Johnson/J-Rock from "South Central."

As he was glancing over at the gun I was expecting to hear: "Sho’ ya rooight, Ray-Ray."

I ain't gonna front like I wasn't doin the Roger Rabbit like a moron to this song when it came out, but I had an excuse. I was like 13 or some shit. I still find myself humming the infectious chorus and bridge, but that about it. I hope I've nauseated enough out of you all this morning to evoke a little change. This Chicken Noodle shit is gonna be the death of a nigga.

Now let's get it. Let's get it. (Repeat until soup is warm)

  • ctsstriptease,

    I would have to say that Joe Public was worse because they took themselves way too seriously. Plus you took it back to the Fam-lee. Wow!!! Their video for "Love Me" had to be the funniest shit I ever seen and heard. Me and my boys still reference that goofy ass song.

    Put dreads on Dipset,give them instruments and this is what you would get.

  • Ron Mex:

    I think it was "Straight like dat, Ray- Ray!"

  • August 24, 2006 11:17 AM
  • Ron Mexico says...

  • CBW, them ain't braids. Them's "twisses."

    Mal. I think you're right. Jimmy definitely says "sho' ya right," but "straight like dat" is probably what he said in conjunction with "Ray-Ray."

    There was a point when I knew that movie word for word. I still got my tape off HBO.

  • Wow! Throwback ! This song was the shit back in the day. I think I was like 11 or 12. It was a catchy ass song. I think I even recorded it with the VCR! It went perfect with the Cross Colors we were all rockin at the time. ha

  • Ron, I think I was doing the cabbage patch to this crap back in the day too. Man, I was like 12 or something (7th grade). Me and my girls loved this song, along with all the other one hit wonders that was out at the same time. "Mary, Mary, Mary was quite contrary. How did you earn yo' dough?!" Ha!!!! Funny how time flies . . .

  • Okay first off, this was a deifnite cabbage patch dance, as for the song...no comment, but as you can see I use to get down to this.

    As far as "Sho ya right", if my memory serves me correct, that was in the scene when Ray-Ray rolled up on Jimmy and his lil homies and asked him if he needed some money and broke off with a stack of bills and some herb.

  • Lowedwn says...

  • Yeah I heard Prince use to mentor Tevin Campbell, until Tevin came out the closet to Prince one day...

    Tevin: Ummm Prince

    Prince: Yes...Tevin(echoed)

    TC: Can we talk for a minute?

    P: yes, but first would you like some pancakes?

    TC: Ummm, no. Ummmm Prince....I..I'm...I'm gay

    P: EEEEEeeeeeeeeeeee!!!

    TC: yes Prince, I like the boys

    P: (Groaning and Moaning)... That's fine... But, I told you that the powers of the Purple Side were only to bag the baddest bitches...Didn't I...

    TC: I know but...


    P: EEEEEEEEEeeeeeeee!!!...Take off the blouse I gave you and leave my presence...fag

    Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh, hey I'm bored today

  • You don't have R & B clones like this anymore ... remember the Aaron Hall clones (R. Kelly, anyone) What about the JODECI/BOYZ II MEN copycats (Silk, Intro, H-Town, UNV, Shai, All4One).
    Tony Toni! Tone! is a hit, then you put out Mint Condition, who then becomes Joe Public, and later Portrait ("Here We Go", "Honeydips"). You gotta love this business!

  • August 24, 2006 2:53 PM
  • Lowedwn says...

  • I don't know about putting Shai on that list, yes they were out during the time of cookie cutting guy groups for sales, but them dudes could sing like a muthafucka, on the acapella tip too.

  • Lowedwn,

    There aren't enough points for that Tevin/Prince convo. I was dying!

    CTS, I was hoping someone would make the Tony Toni Tone--> Mint Condition--> Joe Public connection! That's 5 points.

    I love Mint Condition.
