Now let me think about this for a minute . . .

21 1/2 hours drive time (one way)
$300+ fuel cost (one way)
plus hotels
plus meals
plus ? ? ?

I'm sure you'll have a GREAT time without me!

Tam bo li de say de moi ya
Hey Jambo Jumbo
Way to parti o we goin'
Oh, jambali
Tam bo li de say de moi ya
Yeah, Jambo, jumbo

Lionel Richie explained the lyrics like this:

"I called the UN and said 'I need something African for the breakdown in this song I'm writing.' They informed me that there are thousands of different African dialects. I couldn't believe it. One region doesn't have any idea what the other is taking about. So, 'Tambo liteh sette mo-jah!'? I made it up on the spot. Now I think that 'Jambo' might have a meaning in Swahili (it does- "hello"), but you gotta be careful because it might mean 'welcome' in one dialect and you might get your head cut off for saying it in another."

There are though other phrases taken from different dialects, "Karamu" is a Swahili word for a party along with a feast; "Liming" is a Caribbean phrase for getting together, and "Fiesta" is Spanish for party.

He called the UN? That's a great story -- thanks for that! I wonder what other kind of phone calls they get.....

P.S. - - - Rhett and Link would have to be a couple of COMPLETE IDIOTS if they didn't also invite over several of their new LA-area friends for the song and dance shoot. Just a few of the possible celebrity guests could include:

Chuck Testa
Dope Zebra
Lémon (Strange Street Dancing Woman)
Judy Rudin (Superschmuttle)
Roger & Dipika Tanna (Presidential Car Wash)
Troy "Smooth Black" Ballard (Da Spot Hair Studio)
Willy (Vicious Dogs)
Grammy Award-winning 80's love song master Richard Marx

Now let ME think about this for a minute . . .

186+ hours bike time (one way)
$???+ fuel cost (food, leg pain killers) (one way)
plus hotels
plus a heat stroke from exhaustion
plus ? ? ? (probably involving something preventing my arrival)

I'm sure you'll all have a GREAT time without me, too!

You should make that trip doing singing gigs along the way to raise money for something. Maybe not this week but someday.....

Haha, well I definitely couldn't do it now, that's for sure. At this point I would have literally nothing to play for people.

Gumbo, we could carpool!

Actually, I'm out as well. I really want to, but I have work and pay the bills.

Kids - don't ever grow up.

Sigh... not 18 yet.

I'll be there in spirit, like a ghost, the friendly kind :)

People that do go, make sure to keep us little people posted on what happens :)

Have fun, and make sure to load up on coffee

:/ When you turn 18 you become a legal adult and gain all sorts of privileges. But NONE of them are as valuable as the opportunity to be in a Rhett and Link video!!! For the first time i am wishing i was older...sigh. just 2 more years.

ayy. Rhett and Link! promise to have another opportunity like this in 2 more years? :P haha
