My selection is the 1994 song "Funky Y2C" by the Puppies. (Sometimes the song is referred to as "Hey Little Mama") The title is a reference to the 1962 R&B song "Watusi" though I don't know the connection other than that. I made this selection because this song always makes me laugh. Mainly the video makes me laugh cause it is soooo early 90s. The fact that its a brother and sister kid band rapping about dancing in a some what provocative way is also funny to me. This song also makes me think of one of my favorite movies; Spork. This song was used as a motivational chant in the film during a montage
