    "Amish Paradise" came to my mind, too, and reminded me of the beef between Coolio and Weird Al. Fortunately, it appears they managed to reconcile, further to oop's point.
    Coolio Did Not Want Weird Al to Spoof ‘Gangsta’s Paradise’

    Coolio lived one block from the school my daughter attended in Westchester. All of his arrests were during non-school hours.

    So Chris Rock was right, ODB didn't commit all those crimes.

    The thing that always amazed me most, is that one tune made its way from Stevie Wonder to Coolio to Weird Al. That is quite a chain of custody.

    With all due respect to the last two, there was – and is – nothing like the original. Here, it will always be "Pastime Paradise."

    That's such a good album. Wonder's run of records where he owned the Grammys for years was amazing.

    I made sure that album was the first music my son ever heard after he was born.
