Tomorrow is me and my boyfriend’s six month anniversary.
You guys he’s so cute.
Eddie Murphy
Boogie In Your Butt (Remixed Extended Version)
Boogie In Your Butt (Instrumental)
Okay for starters let’s just get this out of the way: this is Eddie Murphy’s best song. “Party All The Time” sucks, and the less we talk about “Whatzupwitu” the better. If you’ve never heard “Boogie In Your Butt,” let me educate you. This song is nothing but a rap listing off things/places/people that should be…put in your butt, with Eddie Murphy occasionally commenting on the ludicrous and/or offensive nature of it all until he discovers the financial gains for doing so(???) at which point he eagerly jumps on the butt bandwagon, the buttwagon if you will.
It’s poetry.
Now, often when I share stuff I really like I say something like, “please support this artist and buy music of their’s that you can find commercially.” However, I’m not going to do that here. You like “Boogie In Your Butt?” Then do yourself a favor and don’t buy the self-titled debut from which it comes, unless you want to hear the opening stand-up bit “Faggots,” where Eddie goes off on how much he hates gay people for over two minutes. It’s actually not as bad as it sounds, and better than the homophobic shit on Raw, but it’s still hella bad.
Yeah, he apologized for it (weakly) but that don’t mean I gotta give him money for it in 2015.

I was trying to figure out how the hell I pair anything to “Boogie In Your Butt” but then I remembered that I had these Was (Not Was) songs and everything just fell into place. Was (Not Was), being a band that has performed everything, fit naturally with everything.
Woah, never thought I’d see an extended version of “Boogie”! As a little kid in the 1980s I was into Eddie’s LPs because of my big brother, before I knew what most of it meant. After I grew up I was horrified at how homophobic that shit was, but I always loved this tune too. Thanks for the share, despite his overall shittyness as a human being. Happy 6 months anniversary!
Congrats on your anniversary.
Hope you don’t mind this comment, it has a tenuous link to Eddie Murphy but I think you may find interesting.
I posted this over at my other gig at Football and Music:
There was a footballer (soccer player) who in the 1980’s released a single which sounded very like an Eddie Murphy tune. In fact it goes further when you see the single cover.
His name was Justin Fashanu and sadly he is no longer with us any more. He was the first football player to come out as gay and was vilified. He eventually took his own life…

Hrm, an instrumental of “Boogie in your Butt”? Sounds like a ripe opportunity for me to make a karaoke track.
Any chance you might repost the Eddie Murphy tracks? I love the write-up you have, but I missed downloading them and would love to hear them. Please and thank you.
Merry Christmas, and happy one year anniversary with your boyfriend. I know it’s not the “illest shit ever” as that was the Edgar Winter remixes you posted awhile back, but any chance you might repost the extended version of the Eddie Murphy track?
