"Some Things To Consider Later" Official Transcript Episode 4 Aired November 24, 2006 ANNOUNCER: This is BOR Public Radio. ("SOME THINGS TO CONSIDER LATER" THEME MUSIC) MELISSA WORTHINGTON, CO-HOST, HOST: This is "Some Things To Consider Later." I'm Melissa Worthington. ROBERT SCHEINSTEIN, HOST: And I'm Robert Scheinstein. Our top story - a new hip-hop song tells women to shake their booty. Entertainment correspondent Minjo Popopopopopo has this report. POPOPOPOPOPO: Hip-hop artist Dirty Dawg shocked the music industry with his new song, "Bounce That Booty Up and Down." The song, which gives detailed instructions on how women should move their booty in order to attract and please men, is considered a radical new direction in hip-hop music. In an interview, Dirty Dawg explained the unique origins of the song. (BEGIN AUDIO) DIRTY DAWG: I wrote "Bounce That Booty" because I've noticed there are many women who have booties, but don't know what to do with them. So I created this song to help them. It instructs them on how to move their booties to get a guy's attention. It hit me one night when I was at a club and I saw this fine girl shakin' her booty. I said to myself, more women need to do what she does. (END AUDIO) POPOPOPOPOPO: Dirty Dawg is no stranger to innovation. He has already led a revolution with his previous hits, "Smoke Marijuana," "I Have Lots of Money," and "Street Gangs Are Cool." Like his earlier hits, this new song breaks ground in the hip-hop industry. Club-goer Latisha Jackson is enthusiastic about the song. (BEGIN AUDIO) LATISHA JACKSON: I've always wondered how to get a guy's attention in the clubs. Now I know that I need to bounce my booty up and down, bounce it like a train that's goin' uptown. I've been following the instructions in the song, and Dirty Dawg is right. It really works. (END AUDIO) POPOPOPOPOPO: For BOR Public Radio, this is Minjo Popopopopopo. SCHEINSTEIN: And for the urban perspective, let's go to Guy Blaque in our Detroit affiliate. Whaddup, dog? BLAQUE: [sighs] Hello, Robert. SCHEINSTEIN: So what's the dillio on your main homie, dog? BLAQUE: What? SCHEINSTEIN: Dirty Dawg. What else can you tell us about him? BLAQUE: Well, frankly, not much. SCHEINSTEIN: Don't you listen to him? BLAQUE: No, I don't listen to hip-hop. I prefer classical music. SCHEINSTEIN: Oh, you mean like Run DMC and Tupac. BLAQUE: [pause] No, like Mozart and Beethoven. SCHEINSTEIN: Hmm, I'm not familiar with those rappers. Well, thank you, Guy. Peace out. BLAQUE: [sighs] Goodbye, Robert. SVEN DORIAN: I'm so funny. WORTHINGTON: And now, a commentary by humorologist Sven Dorian. DORIAN: Well, maybe funny is too strong a word. I'm not the kind of funny that makes you laugh out loud. I prefer the term "amusing." It sounds more sophisticated, like you don't have to laugh, but just smile quietly to yourself. I can just say things in this sort of coy, winking tone of voice. I also like to sound smart, so I make more obscure references than Jean-Claude Silhouette on the eve of Panaggio's coronation. I mean, admit it. That was kind of funny, wasn't it? Or perhaps you'd prefer amusing. That's why I do these commentaries on public radio stations like BOR. In other areas of entertainment, you would require me to make you laugh. But not on public radio. On public radio, I can come back again and again, and never once make anybody laugh, but as long as enough people smile quietly to themselves and feel smart, I'll be back. WORTHINGTON: That was humorologist Sven Dorian, author of the collections of essays "Aren't I Funny" and "Slightly Amusing Stories." He is currently working behind the cash register at a McDonald's in Florida. ANNOUNCER: "Some things to Consider Later" is brought to you by the Kidnappers. The Kidnappers. We have your loved ones.
