"You'd worry less about what they thought if you knew how little they did." Skinner always coming with the fire meaningful lyrics!

Great lyric but he didn't come up with it!

Daniel Fox who did?

@@YellowGoblin1111 David Foster Wallace. He just changed it slightly to fit the song better. The original quote is "You’ll Worry Less About What People Think of You When You Realize How Seldom They Do"

I will always like The Streets and I will always hold his first two albums in very high regard. I only wish he didn’t pack his rhymes out with so many philosophical riddles now though. It’s been a heavy theme for many years. Sometimes they get me thinking and I like that, but not nearly as much as I felt those utterly true to life lyrics from OPM and AGDCFF. I understand he isn’t in 20’s anymore though and you can’t rewind time, you can only press play on iTunes to go back. Thanks Mike for all you do and for all that you did.

Rumour has it one time Oloff was sat next to Jar Jar Binks on a flight. Jar Jar kept kicking the chair in front of him and generally being obnoxious, nobody knew what to do. Eventually one of the flight attendants came over and asked Oloff if he would perform one of his songs to calm Jar Jar down, and when Oloff began rapping the first verse to Doing It Stealthy, Jar Jar immediately relaxed. To this day the two are still close friends.
