Well, I was thinking about that "Honeymooners Soundtrack" thread I made a while back and I decided to search google to see if any modern day musicians had mentioned The Honeymooners in any songs. Here's what I came up with:
From "My Rhyme Ain't Done" by LL Cool J:
11:33, I swear it's no sooner
I went inside my TV, I met The Honeymooners
Ralph wanted me to bust a couple of rhymes
But I had my eyes on Alice's behind
Norton came down right about that time
Lookin' in the fridge, so he could wine and dine
Then I said to myself, I should give 'em a taste
So I pulled the microphone out my black briefcase
Said, it ain't Bob Hope or Barry Manilow
Then I borrowed Norton's hat, cause I forgot my Kangol
Ralph said, "I got a scheme, let me get to it"
"Norton, my pal," I said, "Yo, don't even do it"
They were all Honeymooners, and I met every one
That story is over, but my rhyme ain't done
From "One Kiss" by John Hiatt:
Now Ralph Kramden never sent Alice to the moon
But you know he wanted to
But having a good friend like Norton to ease the pressure
Can really work wonders on a fella's point of view
From "Letters" by Kool G. Rap & DJ Polo:
I break, bang zoom, like Honeymooners
From "Grand Puba, Positive & L.G." by Brand Nubian:
Grip the mic til my hand get calloused
And I'll tell you like Ralph Kramden told Alice,
Bang zoom!
And finally, during the intro to a song called "Crack Spot" by Ghostface Killah, he makes reference to the Honeymooners New Years Eve Marathon that airs on the WB11 every year in New York:
What y'all watchin over there?
Is that the Honeymooner marathon?
That **** been on all night right?
It's interesting to see artists of today showing their respect to The Honeymooners. If you find any others, be sure to post them up!
