Pitbull update

Two things:

1) Remember "Hotel Room Service"? Well, I just realized that the phrase "Hotel, motel, Holiday Inn" used in the chorus of that song is also utilized multiple times in the Sugarhill Gang's first major hit, "Rapper's Delight." It would be amazing if this was some sort of coincidence, but I suspect it's really meant as some sort of tribute. I'm sure the guys are proud, Pitbull.*

2) So this is apparently the cover of Pitbull's soon-to-be-released album, "Rebelution":

This needs to be recognized as the artistic triumph and national treasure that it is. I want to see this plastered on billboards all over America; I want posters stapled to every telephone pole; I want this design to replace the traditional stars and stripes on the American flag and "Hotel Room Service" adopted as the new national anthem.

*The Sugarhill Gang is still active, according to Wikipedia! That's pretty sweet.
