Eddie Murphy: Where has the Boogie Gone?

Eddie Murphy. The Man, the myth, the icon. What happened to him? What was the last good thing Eddie Murphy was in? I can’t even think of it. Eddie Murphy used to be great. Beverly Hills Cop: hilarious.  Coming to America: a cinematic masterpiece. Trading Places: an underrated gem. Bowfinger: An Academy Award winner for Best Picture.* I could go on. His career is in sad shape now, though. Nobody wanted to Meet Dave. Imagine that! And Norbit? I don’t why a comedy legend would even read that script, let alone get in multiple fat suits for the role. The good news is that another Beverly Hills Cop movie is coming soon. And the other good news is that, in addition to watching classic Eddie Murphy movies (never a bad thing), we can listen to his biggest hits. After all, Eddie Murphy is one of the greatest recording artists of our time too. Everyone knows (or should know) “Party All The Time,” which is a great song. But his best song is “Boogie in Your Butt.” If you haven’t ever heard it, watch the music video below. It is funny as shit. It includes lines like "Put a tree in your butt, put a bumblebee in your butt." It just makes no sense, and is hilarious. You will not be disappointed, like we all are with the current state of Eddie Murphy’s career.  

*Not really, but a very funny movie nonetheless.
