I was driving home today from running some errands, and Kris Kross’s “Jump” was on the 90s channel on Sirius XM.
I thought about one hit wonders and said aloud, “I wonder if these guys are dead.”
A few hours later, Chris Kelly, of Kris Kross, was found dead.
Do-de-do-de, do-de-do-de, do-de-do-de… :eek:
Weren’t they the guys who wore their pants backwards?
If ever there comes a point where I don’t post for a few days, could I just ask you now not to wonder if I’m still alive?
Wiggity wiggity wiggity whacked?
With a miggity miggity miggity miggity mac 11?
Weird, in my head they were considerably older then me. I guess I was young enough at the time that even people in their mid-teens seemed “old”, and I never really thought about them again to realize it would only be a difference of a couple years.
Ah well, too bad he’s passed in any case. I remember that song being everywhere for a bit.
Did you wish him into the cornfield?
Yes. I figured that was their claim to fame.
Yes the K’s clued me in, but since I have no idea who said person is, I instead thought of Christopher Cross (cheesy MOR crooner) and even Chris Cross, Ultravox bassist.
The guy peaked when he was 12. He probably didn’t have much left to contribute to society anyway.
Sort of along the lines of the OP, sometimes I’ll be talking about a famous person, and someone will wonder if the person is still alive or not. If the person is indeed alive, I’ll say so, but then I’ll qualify it by saying, “unless he died in the last few hours and we just haven’t heard about it yet.” So far there haven’t been any of these deaths. The last one was Wilford Brimley last Friday, and as far as I know, he’s still living.
Is it possible they were playing the song because he was dead? I don’t know what time this happened, but he died around 4:30 or 5 pm.
In honor of Mac daddy’s death, tonight when I go to bed I will wear my shorts backwards.
“Build it, and they will drop rhymes.”
Marley23: Nope. It was 9:30 AM when I listened to the song. His body was not discovered for hours after that.
BTW I’ve heard he is “bi courious” and has a twin. So, if you are trying that internet dating thing make sure your filters are set right.
Just sayin.
Looks like I’ll have to cross Kriss Kross’s Kriss off my Christmas list
ERMGAHD half of my former self is now dead. Whoo-hoo!
Explination: My first name is Christina. I married (and then divorced) a guy with the last name of Cross. Thus my name for 4 years was Chris Cross. Jump Jump got old reaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaal quick. Could not wait to take my maiden name back fast enough.
Someone send a floral arrangement to Liz Lemon!
