Today as we were prepping dinner, I didn't want to put the TV on the regular default channel it normally goes to (Animal Planet). I checked what was OnDemand and found that the new season of Monk was already on there. I clicked on the second one I saw. No real reason. Just because.
As we tweetered around the kitchen getting plates and glasses, the initial portion of the program played. The part where the "m-ur-der" always happens. Then the theme song starts after that. Since the beginning of the show, it's been a peppy song.
"It's a jungle out there...."
But today? It was something else. We all turned and looked at the tv. We didn't know what we were hearing. Because it certainly wasn't the regular Monk theme-song. It had a deep back beat to it. And it was some other person's voice. A low voice. Not singing in a peppy way either.
"Mom? Is that another LANGUAGE?"
Yes. That's the question that popped out of the Princess mouth.
People. It was a RAP version of the regular theme song. And why was it being rapped? Because the episode was titled "Mr. Monk and the Rapper". And the guest rapper who hired Mr. Monk was none other than Snoop Dog (are there two G's?).
I found it interesting that the Princess thought the rapping was a different language. She couldn't understand what the guy was saying so she assumed it was a different language. Hmmm...we've never listened to rap with the kids. We don't want MTV or anything so she isn't really hip to it.
But it was a hysterical episode. Who would've figured that Snoop Dog (who has also done some advertising for Girls Gone Wild) would appear on such a straight laced show like Monk?
