Mr. T
Does this ever happen to you?
You think of a celebrity, often from the 80s, and *BAM*, 2 days later, you find out they have a reality show/new album/recent arrest. It's happened to me recently: Boy George, Cyndi Lauper, David Hasselhoff, Joey Lawrence...
And now: Mr. T.
Sure enough, he's got a reality show starting next month. (This according to wikipedia.)
And so while your appetite is whetted, but not yet satisfied, here is Mr. T singing "Treat Your Mother Right (Treat Her Right)"
It's supposed to be from his video, a vintage 80s production, called:
"Be Somebody or Be Somebody's Fool".
And yes, it was targeted towards children.
Happy Friday!
p.s Here's the summary of the video from wikipedia:
In 1984, he made a motivational video called Be Somebody or Be Somebody's Fool. He gives helpful advice to children throughout the video; for example, he teaches them how to understand and appreciate their origins, how to dress fashionably without buying designer labels, how to make tripping up look like breakdancing, how to control their anger, and how to deal with peer pressure. The video is roughly one hour long, but contains 30 minutes of singing, either by the mob of children accompanying him, or by Mr. T himself. He sings "Treat Your Mother Right (Treat Her Right)," (video available here) in which he enumerates the reasons why it is important to treat your mother right, and also raps a song about growing up in the ghetto and praising God.
