Wait, is he the one that stabbed those dudes?

That is awesome. Reminds me of the interview with DMX where he just drove around Queens all night listening to "Smooth Operator" on repeat!

I hope Phil Collins dedicates "In the Air Tonight" to Ray Lewis at an upcoming concert and then shines an accusatory spotlight at his face in the crowd.

In case it hasn't been discussed lately:
Bitchin' import only R+B Collins tribute CD with Lil' Kim, ODB, Kelis, Montelle Jordan and Deborah Cox.
Phil got love in the hood.

"I Don't Care Anymore" by Kelis ... that's gotta be hot

Anybody got this on soulseek? Holla!

Forksclovetofu (Forksclovetofu), Thursday, 6 January 2005 22:52 (nineteen years ago) link

Phil Collins = Drums, Vocals & Production = HIP HOP

LSTD (answer) (sexyDancer), Thursday, 6 January 2005 22:54 (nineteen years ago) link

Whoa, that totally makes sense.

Short of him killing somebody, gambling on the game or embracing fascism, I'll bet you he is.

1. Ray was acquitted in the Super Bowl stabbings.

2. Jaymc - great allusion to one of my favorite urban legends ever.

3. Yup, Ray's a lock unless he goes OJ.

But isn't "In the Air Tonight" about how Phil Collins' girlfriend got raped, and he witnessed it, and then years later he saw the rapist drowning in a lake, and Phil decided against saving the guy, and he died?!?!?!?!?

Godheadsilo did a cover of "In the Air Tonight" that was pretty gnarly. Maybe I will start an MP3 blog and post that fucker. Is there room for another MP3 blog?

Wow...really? I never knew it was about that!

(Ian, reread the mention of 'urban legends' above.)

Or just ask snopes.

Are the lyrics in between the verses "Oh Lord" or "Hold on"? I know what the spambot lyrics pages say, but my tin ears still hear "hold on."

I guess I always kinda hoped that Ray Lewis would listen to Ray Stevens to get psyched up.

^ Is this some sort of joke? The place would take on Rock and Roll Hall of Fame levels of stupidity and irrelevance if Ray doesnt make it on the first ballot.

Bill Magill, Thursday, 19 November 2009 22:29 (fourteen years ago) link

Oh, Ray Lewis listens to In The Air Tonight to get psyched up. That, I understand.

When I spotted the thread, I thought maybe he got psyched up by listening to Illegal Alien or I Can't Dance. That would be just rong.

I fell into the song long ago as a child when it was played on Miami Vice

honestly, when i read the thread title, i assumed the "pump-up" song was "sussudio"

da croupier, Friday, 18 October 2013 00:27 (ten years ago) link

"psych-up," rather

da croupier, Friday, 18 October 2013 00:28 (ten years ago) link

this may be one of the reasons i'm not a future nfl hall of famer

da croupier, Friday, 18 October 2013 00:28 (ten years ago) link

The Rolling Stone article about George Clinton said there was a copy of a Phil Collins LP on the turntable in his house.
