I remember Al's version now! That was pretty funny.

I recall the Dr Demento radio show too. Often it was at late  
night when AM signals had better reception.  I have one LP of  
Dr. Demento "best of.." picks.

Anyway..  Coolio's tune has some musicality to it.  I am not  
familiar with his other stuff.  But Gangsta's Paradise is  
enough exposure to rap without being totally bored by it.
