r/opieandanthony: UPDATE: Howard Stern played Rotgut's OJ parody, trashed it immediately.

Let's be honest, an Italian high school dropout tin-knocker in 1994 who is sitting around with his brother listening to WBAB...that guy is going to the integrity to not be a joke thief? He was so far removed from that world he probably wouldn't even know that it was wrong. It's ok to just admit it. It's understandable

Wow you guys are dealing digging deep, very impressive. I've never seen this clip anywhere.

It's an amazing testimony to the state of radio in the early 90's and Opie's desperation to get ANYTHING going that this parody song had traction and made careers. Yikes.

8 CuckECheese 2016-02-15

It didn't just make careers, it made radio icons. That piece of shit song launched the closest thing to direct competition Howard Stern ever had.

Wow, I've never heard this. Once long Island-trash, always long-Island trash.

For reference, here's the song parody Stern seemed to have settled on using for the OJ thing -

Quit brothering me!

Not sure that it was BJ, but if it was you can hear the playfulness in Howard's voice. He was kidding around. He knows BJ's song was the best.

1 dom650 2016-02-15

I wasn't sure either. It didn't exactly sound like him but it was twenty years ago. That's also very much a Howard style joke but the guy defended the song pretty hard for hearing five seconds of it and Howard repeated his line a few times without laughing so who knows

They were two big entertainers from NY. They had to know each other.

I suspect it was all a joke. Howard knew BJ made best song but eh didn't want to say that his friend was top submission.

I think he was kidding, the "wonder how it worked out for him" kind of implies self-deprecation.
