Urologist's Rap Rips T.O.
"I never grew up at all, but I was raised on Long Island," said Rich Harkaway, 42, who lives in Moorestown, practices urology in Philadelphia, and jet-hops the planet as in-demand lecturer on prostate problems. While in med school at Penn, Harkaway became an ardent Philly sports fan, and now has season tickets to all four teams. Ownership of one set of seats, however, became problematic after his ex-wife fell for the contractor redoing their basement, he said. "There's more in their divorce agreement about how we split up the Eagles tickets than how we split up the children." He's happier than ever now, he says, enjoying time with sons Eric, 10, Andrew, 7, and girlfriend Lu. Harkaway has long dabbled at standup comedy, sometimes at open-mike nights, but mostly for colleagues, entertaining them with wacky songs about medical matters. Recently, though, after hearing Terrell Owen's "I told you so" anti-Eagles rap (hear it on T.O.'s website or read the lyrics), Harkaway wrote and recorded a retort called "Just a Fool," to the tune of "Bust a Move." He sent a copy to Angelo Cataldi, who played it and praised it on WIP's morning show. Now it's here, on demand, with a couple of ways to listen to the first two verses, along with the lyrics. If you'd like get in touch with Harkaway about the song, drop him an email at torap81@yahoo.com.
Oh, and don't take the injury imagery seriously. It's just football-fan trash talk. Just a Fool (Sung to the tune of "Bust a Move") Windows Media version: mp3 version: It was a new day dawning I was tired and yawning There was no one on the road at like 6 in the morning When my girl calls me up and says, "You hear this crap?" "That fool T.O. just made a new rap" Now I’d never leave her, but I don’t believe her. Is he a rapper, a yapper or a wide receiver? So I flip on the music and here it comes. Sure enough that jackass is flapping his gums About his brand-new contract and all his money, How he got the last laugh and it's all so funny, How he's so damn great and he just can't wait To make them all happy in the Lone Star State. But soon they'll be saying the same stuff we say And your autograph will go for two bucks on eBay. You think you're the man but you're not that cool. C'mon, T.O., you’re just a fool! (At right: Image of Owens as crybaby from Bangcartoons.com parody "Child's Play.") You and your chosen louse, this Rosenhaus,
