daytoday Forwarding Fodder: Fur Qs Uzi Lover on <i>The Day Today</i> 1994’s The Day Today was, and shall forever be, one of the greatest comedy series ever ever ever. Ever. It took the piss out of pretty much every aspect of TV news, and music didn’t escape.
The Fur Q sketch was only a minute and a half long, but anybody who sees it instantly feels the need to share it with their mates - so it’s fortunate that there are kindly souls around to nick it and put it on ver Tube.
From the Phil Collins sample (sounded ridiculous at the time - then this happened), to the none-more-macho lyrics (”Uzi like a metal dick in my hand, magazine like a big testicle gland”), to the music critic defending onstage murders as “ironic”, the segment nailed gangsta rap perfectly. This chap really was a naughty rapper.
This will brighten your day. Check it out after the click.
