That’s a great line, because first you laugh at how wonderfully ridiculous it is, then you remember that geese give birth to goslings, not chicks, and it rises to a whole other level of wonderfully ridiculous.

[@rockmyworldcanada3006]

Organized Rhyme was a hip hop group based in Ottawa, Ontario, known primarily for the fame later achieved by one of its members, comedian Tom Green. Organized Rhyme's musical formula focused on three principal facets: catchy beats, simplistic choruses, and clever rhymes. The formula proved itself to be profitable: the group's first single, "Check the O.R.," won the MuchVibe Best Rap Video (MMVA Award) in 1992 and was nominated for a Juno Award in 1993.

[@NyQuilDonut]

[@teaguebates5807]

Haha! I saw them live in Ottawa back in the day. They put clothes baskets on their heads and spun around. Green (I had no idea it was Tom Green until now!) took one of the security guys' radios and left the stage. He took a seat in the audience and started talking to people on the radio. His partner had to end the set by himself. A good time had by all.

Does anyone know the context of the opening and closing bits and who they looking for?

[@buckodonnghaile4309]

They're looking for King Lou of Canadian hip hop group Dream Warriors in the Toronto/North york neighbourhood of Jane and Finch. They want him to listen to their tape. He's the guy at the end who says "wait til you try to get out", Jane and Finch has a somewhat undeserved rep as a rough neighborhood.

[@pinkpools]

@@buckodonnghaile4309thanks for the insight! I think what confused me the most is they end up at the same spot they got off the bus which adds to the comedy of it all now that I think about it.
