Quote:Well, that answered a question I'd been planning to ask ... for some time now, I've been thinking that there ought to be a simulacrum generated by the song "The Dude" (written by Quincy Jones, Rod Temperton, and Patti Austin; lead vocal by James Ingram; copyright 1981 Yellow Brick Road(ASCAP); duration 5 minutes 35 seconds). But I didn't know if Doug knew anybody it'd match -- knew him well enough to create a simulacrum.
I saw it originally as generating a rather lethal simulacrum that matched the song but was nobody "real", but maybe after the Walk, it'll pull up someone he met...
Whoever it is, he'd possibly be a martial artist; definitely streetwise. Charms most women and either intimidates or awes most men. Perhaps a touch unscrupulous, at least in monetary dealings, but presumably Doug wouldn't be interested in calling up a simulacrum of an out-and-out criminal, drug dealer, etc. (unless he's in a super bad mood and wants somebody he can beat to death without guilt).
Lyrics:
Who is it
That walks the street with all the action?
(It's The Dude.)
Who is it
That always gets a hot reaction?
(That's The Dude.)
Don'tcha' go makin' no mojo moves
'Round The Dude.
(Don't try no funny business.)
Don'tcha' be coppin' no attitude
With The Dude.
(Hey, hey, here comes The Dude.)
Spoken: Hey everybody in the neighborhood,
The beauty's on duty, better hear me good.
Sister E-flat tomato, Brother B-flat balloon,
Somethin' funky's goin' down, better listen to my tune.
I graduated from the college of the street.
I got a Ph.D. in how to make ends meet.
Inflation in the nation don't bother me,
'Cause I'm a scholar with a dollar
You can plainly see.
He's a winner 'cause it's in his blood.
Ain't nobody who's out there like him.
Any corner in the neighborhood,
That's the place that you'll always find him.
Soft talkin' with a rap so sweet,
(He does it good.)
Ladies call him the Candy Rapper.
(They want his love.)
He's the only one that's really cool
(He's really cool.)
That's the reason why he's The Dude.
Who is it
That ain't got time for foolish talkin'?
(It's The Dude.)
Who is it
That looks so clean you can't ignore him?
(That's The Dude.)
Don'tcha' go mess with
His walkin' stick -- not The Dude.
(Don't try no funny business.)
Don't you double-cross him
He's super slick -- He's The Dude.
(Hey, hey, here comes The Dude.)
Spoken: I'm a stone cold taker,
I'm a piggy bank shaker,
An' I don't waste my time talkin' trash.
So if you go to my school,
You gotta learn this rule --
Don't let your mouth write a check
That your body can't cash.
If you never had it,
Don't pay it no mind.
I know you're gonna get it,
If you take a little time.
Take a piece from the East,
A piece from the West,
Put it where it feels good --
Let The Dude do the rest.
See him steppin' down the street
No forgettin', he's The Dude.
See him steppin' down the street
No forgettin', he's The Dude.
Don'tcha' go makin' no mojo moves
'Round The Dude.
(Don't try no funny business.)
Don'tcha' be coppin' no attitude
With The Dude.
(Hey, hey, here comes The Dude.)
