...brief, frenetic bongo riff leads to the vocal theme-each of title's four words held for a full bar-accompanied by the bass drum working out (at a much slower tempo) the immortal boom, ba-doom intro to Fats Domino's 1957 "I'm Walkin'." (The guys are singing heavenly choir, but the drums say Big Easy.) Then we're back in marching mode, with a piano and, for a few bars, a mocking trumpet.

...cards and plans. Cee-Lo is collaborating with Dangermouse on an album named “Gnarls Barkley,” due early next year, and Iron Man-lover Ghostface (who drops the best guest verse of the album on “The Mask”) and supervillain Doom have plans for a collaborative project (tentatively titled “Iron Man meets Metalface”) as well. Here’s hoping they drop the gimmicks on future projects, and that Adult Swim fans new to the hip-hop savants assembled here explore more of their extensive back...
