Wow. Am I the last person in Brooklyn to hear about the Hot97 Tsunami Scandal? Here’s an MP3 of "USA for Indonesia" as played on the air. Give thanks to Angry Desi. I’m not even going to speculate on what the yelling
is all about. But if you want to see wall-to-wall coverage of this
scandal, go here:
"Racist Hot 97 Skit Mocking Tsunami Victims: … For the last week Hot 97 has been running a hideously offensive and unfunny skit named "Tsunami Song," that ridicules the victims of the
Tsunami as "ch*nks" whose children will now be sold into child slavery.
It’s being played on the station’s morning show, hosted by Miss Jones."
Complete lyrics are at Gothamist. Forget offensiveness for one minute, and notice that it truly is probably the most un-funny parody song ever recorded and played on a major market radio station. It’s stupid. Like, fifth-grade-kids-riffing-at-recess stupid.
