...they usually run you out of town. Bobby Murcer, who died on July 12 at the age of 62, didn't live up to his billing as the next Mickey Mantle, a fellow Oklahoma boy whom he succeeded in center field. Though a fine player and a five-time All-Star, Murcer never sniffed the Hall of Fame.

A hilarious rib at the state-of-the-world songs that come around every few years, the duo managed to perfectly recreate the strolling rhythm and world beat feel of 2001’s all-star benefit song “What’s Going On.” Everything from the over-the-top vocal flourishes to the a cappella ending to Jemaine forgetting the catchy chorus is flawlessly put together to poke fun at the predictable structure of celebrity collaboration records.
