I'm Jeff Goldblum with a more impressive moustache.
Hi!
My name is Jeff Goldblum.
I’m gonna break down, so-called, some lyrics on this show that we call, ‘Between The Lines.’
I love to make music and I love to act.
And they are overlapping, those joys, actually and cross-training.
And we put out two records.
This last one we just dropped, I think you say,
the whole record is called ‘I Shouldn't Be Telling You This.’
It's jazz, '50s, '60s, blue note kind of stuff.
If you haven't heard it, I like it very much.
Have I noticed that I get name-dropped?
No, no, no.
I showed you on my phone.
I've got a couple that people have sent me.
So I know of a couple of instances where people have said “something, something, Jeff Goldblum.”
I didn't know there were many.
The first song is “Sweatpants” by Childish Gambino.
"Year off, got no rules, tripping off of them toadstools," oh.
"More green than my Whole Foods and I'm too fly, Jeff Goldblum."
I like it.
This is the first time I've heard this, I myself am sorry I've never heard this.
I'll bet it's well attended and well listened to, but I have never heard this one.
You know that song, "It's not easy being green."
And it says comma, "I'm too fly, Jeff Goldblum."
Not about me, it's to me, he's singing this to me.
"And I'm too fly, Jeff Goldblum."
So thank you, Childish.
I've heard you loud and clear.
Of course, he's referencing me because I was the fly in the movie.
Anyway, very very good.
That gets 10 Goldblums out of a possible 10 Goldblums.
That’s my highest rating.
Name of the song is “Victory.”
Notorious B.I.G.
“The most shady, Frankie baby.
Fantastic, graphic, trying to make dough like Jurassic Park did, quick to spark kids that
start shit.”
Hmm.
Or S-H-I Tut, for those who are offended by the language here.
Trying to make dough.
Dough, of course, I think means dough, legal tender, money, moolah, lettuce, kale.
“Like Jurassic Park did.”
Jurassic Park was a high-earning picture.
And breaking this down, it's like Shakespeare.
It is like Shakespeare.
“Those lips that love's own hand did make, breathed forth the sound that said I hate,”
et cetera, et cetera.
This one is called, “Almost Cut My Hair” by I believe it’s Milo?
Am I pronouncing that correctly?
Milo.
"I'm Jeff Goldblum with a more impressive mustache who arrives at noon to spit rhymes
for a bus pass."
The main problem with my mustache, Milo, is that there's the space between my nose and
my lip is not terrific.
If I grow it out, it’s a little ratty.
It’s a little ratty, like that.
But it’s okay.
So, you very well may have a more impressive mustache, I'm sure.
This next one, get a load of this.
It’s called “Deep Cover” by Dr. Dre.
Oh boy.
Be careful Dr. Dre, be careful.
Now, what's going on here?
“Tonight's the night I get in some shit.
‘Deep Cover’ on the incognito tip.
Killing motherfuckers if I have to, peeling caps too.”
Hey, this is quite riveled.
Let me see.
Oh!
So this is sort of in the voice of Laurence Fishburne's character.
Well, yes, he was in a dangerous lifestyle there.
And my character, if you haven't seen it, wanted to get into a dangerous lifestyle too.
Very good.
Well, I'm proud to have been in that movie.
I know it's well-enjoyed and I like it myself.
I haven't seen it in total, in a while.
The next one we’re gonna break down is “Outta Control Freestyle,” by Joell Ortiz.
Oh boy. And he says, "I grab my extraterrestrial testicles when I rap and tell Earth to suck it, tell
the planet to try it.
I turn this bitch into ‘Independence Day’ without the lucky drunk pilot."
I like the rhyme.
That's very good.
Let's see if I can decipher what this means.
Who's the lucky drunk pilot in that movie?
If this is literal, was that Randy Quaid or is that Will Smith, or...
Randy, Randy!
Yeah.
‘Happy Independence Day.’
Yeah, he was drunk.
Was he drunk or was he just crazy?
He was maybe both, a little of both.
10 Goldblums out of a possible 10 Goldblums.
Once again, very good.
Oh, this is good.
This is called “Rap God” by Eminem.
Eminem.
I wonder if he named himself after the candy, actually.
Did we ever know the origin of his name?
Because I like an M and M myself, but it's really pure sugar.
It's just chocolate with a little shell, but I like them.
So “you'll be Thor.
I'll be Odin.
You rodent.
I'm omnipotent.”
I like it.
Thor, of course, is from the movie Thor.
Odin is his father played by Anthony Hopkins in the movie, I do believe.
Hey, I just realized I know a rap.
If this is a rap lyric, listen to this.
Could you put this to a song?
Sanctuary sanctum, mortuary, plankton.
I kind of like that.
I offer it to you.
I give it to you, and see how it will come back.
This is called “Which Side Are You On” by Talib Kweli.
"They want us caught up in more illegal drama than ‘Law & Order.’
In the streets, police is on trial and rappers is the court reporters."
“Law & Order.”
I was on “Law & Order” for a couple of years.
“Law & Order: Criminal Intent.”
Yeah, and this is quite social and political?
“They want us caught up in more legal drama than ‘Law & Order.’”
It's like, but there's a parenthetical implied.
“But in the streets it's the police that are on trial and rappers, we're the court
reporters.”
We turn it around.
Nice.
And I'll tell you something else.
My hair could have been better on that show.
For those two years, somebody talked me into dyeing my hair.
I think it was a mistake.
Here’s a song called “Greatest Freestyle” and this is by an artist named Canibus.
I believe that’s another name for marijuana.
Is that true?
“Sneak-attack rappers, grab ‘em and slash ‘em.
Chop their heads off with claws sharper than velociraptors.
Hunt ‘em like Jurassic Park actors.
But spare Samuel Jackson's life ‘cause he was the only black one.”
Yeah it’s a nice, it’s a comic twist.
It’s a good, a relevant and important twist and cultural.
But it’s also something Milton Berle-esque about it.
You’re asking about Jurassic Park.
No, I didn't know it was going to be certainly as popular and successful in some circles
as it's been.
No.
It’s always a surprise.
Nothing is guaranteed to work.
It's hard to make a good movie or a popular movie, you know?
It's a delightful, flattering, and lovely honor.
I can't thank you enough, and this was fun to the extreme.
I loved it.
Johnny Dang himself fit me with a little thing and then he made a grill for me which I've
got at home.
I got a grill.
I should've worn my grill today.
