Happy it's not "Start Me Up"(though I like that one too!)

[Tinka Cat]

WOS Tubes, su-su-sucky.  "the odor drives me outta my mind" -- er, eww.

Wow.  That was really horrid.  People liked this??

see the FB thread. mind-boggling.

BOS Devo, best of an underwhelming lot so far.

WOS Devo.  Hello, Kingfish!

oh, because white people never pretend to be stereotypically black any more, y'alls.

what's "Kingfish?"

BOS Rick James.  Oh, yeah give to me!

Gaz is referencing Amos 'n'Andy, the radio show where white actors played black characters with exaggerated dialect. Which is what today's kids are inadvertantly doing whenever they say "y'alls"

Except that "y'alls" doesn't connote buffoonery.  Though your point is taken.
