00:00I'm Jeff Goldblum with a more impressive moustache.
00:08My name is Jeff Goldblum.
00:09Iâm gonna break down, so-called, some lyrics
on this show that we call, âBetween The Lines.â
00:18I love to make music and I love to act.
00:20And they are overlapping, those joys, actually
and cross-training.
00:25And we put out two records.
00:26This last one we just dropped, I think you say,
00:29the whole record
is called âI Shouldn't Be Telling You This.â
00:31It's jazz, '50s, '60s, blue note kind of stuff.
00:34If you haven't heard it, I like it very much.
00:37Have I noticed that I get name-dropped?
00:40I showed you on my phone.
00:41I've got a couple that people have sent me.
00:44So I know of a couple of instances where people
have said âsomething, something, Jeff Goldblum.â
00:47I didn't know there were many.
00:49The first song is âSweatpantsâ by Childish
Gambino.
00:53"Year off, got no rules, tripping off of them
toadstools," oh.
01:02"More green than my Whole Foods and I'm too
fly, Jeff Goldblum."
01:11This is the first time I've heard this, I
myself am sorry I've never heard this.
01:15I'll bet it's well attended and well listened
to, but I have never heard this one.
01:19You know that song, "It's not easy being green."
01:24And it says comma, "I'm too fly, Jeff Goldblum."
01:26Not about me, it's to me, he's singing this
to me.
01:29"And I'm too fly, Jeff Goldblum."
01:32So thank you, Childish.
01:33I've heard you loud and clear.
01:35Of course, he's referencing me because I was
the fly in the movie.
01:39Anyway, very very good.
01:41That gets 10 Goldblums out of a possible 10
Goldblums.
01:44Thatâs my highest rating.
01:46Name of the song is âVictory.â
01:50âThe most shady, Frankie baby.
01:55Fantastic, graphic, trying to make dough like
Jurassic Park did, quick to spark kids that
02:06Or S-H-I Tut, for those who are offended by
the language here.
02:13Trying to make dough.
02:14Dough, of course, I think means dough, legal
tender, money, moolah, lettuce, kale.
02:20âLike Jurassic Park did.â
02:23Jurassic Park was a high-earning picture.
02:27And breaking this down, it's like Shakespeare.
02:29It is like Shakespeare.
02:30âThose lips that love's own hand did make,
breathed forth the sound that said I hate,â
02:36et cetera, et cetera.
02:37This one is called, âAlmost Cut My Hairâ
by I believe itâs Milo?
02:43Am I pronouncing that correctly?
02:45"I'm Jeff Goldblum with a more impressive
mustache who arrives at noon to spit rhymes
02:59The main problem with my mustache, Milo, is
that there's the space between my nose and
03:05my lip is not terrific.
03:09If I grow it out, itâs a little ratty.
03:11Itâs a little ratty, like that.
03:14So, you very well may have a more impressive
mustache, I'm sure.
03:18This next one, get a load of this.
03:20Itâs called âDeep Coverâ by Dr. Dre.
03:26Be careful Dr. Dre, be careful.
03:29Now, what's going on here?
03:31âTonight's the night I get in some shit.
03:34âDeep Coverâ on the incognito tip.
03:39Killing motherfuckers if I have to, peeling
caps too.â
03:42Hey, this is quite riveled.
03:46So this is sort of in the voice of Laurence
Fishburne's character.
03:50Well, yes, he was in a dangerous lifestyle
there.
03:55And my character, if you haven't seen it,
wanted to get into a dangerous lifestyle too.
04:00Well, I'm proud to have been in that movie.
04:02I know it's well-enjoyed and I like it myself.
04:04I haven't seen it in total, in a while.
04:06The next one weâre gonna break down is âOutta
Control Freestyle,â by Joell Ortiz.
04:13Oh boy. And he says, "I grab my extraterrestrial testicles
when I rap and tell Earth to suck it, tell
04:21the planet to try it.
04:24I turn this bitch into âIndependence Dayâ
without the lucky drunk pilot."
04:31Let's see if I can decipher what this means.
04:34Who's the lucky drunk pilot in that movie?
04:37If this is literal, was that Randy Quaid or
is that Will Smith, or...
04:42âHappy Independence Day.â
04:45Was he drunk or was he just crazy?
04:47He was maybe both, a little of both.
04:4810 Goldblums out of a possible 10 Goldblums.
04:50Once again, very good.
04:53This is called âRap Godâ by Eminem.
04:57I wonder if he named himself after the candy,
actually.
05:02Did we ever know the origin of his name?
05:04Because I like an M and M myself, but it's
really pure sugar.
05:07It's just chocolate with a little shell, but
I like them.
05:10So âyou'll be Thor.
05:17Thor, of course, is from the movie Thor.
05:19Odin is his father played by Anthony Hopkins
in the movie, I do believe.
05:24Hey, I just realized I know a rap.
05:26If this is a rap lyric, listen to this.
05:29Could you put this to a song?
05:30Sanctuary sanctum, mortuary, plankton.
05:36I kind of like that.
05:39I give it to you, and see how it will come
back.
05:41This is called âWhich Side Are You Onâ
by Talib Kweli.
05:45"They want us caught up in more illegal drama
than âLaw & Order.â
05:53In the streets, police is on trial and rappers
is the court reporters."
05:58I was on âLaw & Orderâ for a couple of
years.
06:00âLaw & Order: Criminal Intent.â
06:02Yeah, and this is quite social and political?
06:05âThey want us caught up in more legal drama
than âLaw & Order.ââ
06:08It's like, but there's a parenthetical implied.
06:14âBut in the streets it's the police that
are on trial and rappers, we're the court
06:28And I'll tell you something else.
06:32My hair could have been better on that show.
06:35For those two years, somebody talked me into
dyeing my hair.
06:39I think it was a mistake.
06:43Hereâs a song called âGreatest Freestyleâ
and this is by an artist named Canibus.
06:49I believe thatâs another name for marijuana.
07:02âSneak-attack rappers, grab âem and slash
âem.
07:08Chop their heads off with claws sharper than
velociraptors.
07:12Hunt âem like Jurassic Park actors.
07:15But spare Samuel Jackson's life âcause he
was the only black one.â
07:18Yeah itâs a nice, itâs a comic twist.
07:21Itâs a good, a relevant and important twist
and cultural.
07:26But itâs also something Milton Berle-esque
about it.
07:29Youâre asking about Jurassic Park.
07:31No, I didn't know it was going to be certainly
as popular and successful in some circles
07:39Itâs always a surprise.
07:39Nothing is guaranteed to work.
07:41It's hard to make a good movie or a popular
movie, you know?
07:44It's a delightful, flattering, and lovely
honor.
07:48I can't thank you enough, and this was fun
to the extreme.
07:57Johnny Dang himself fit me with a little thing
and then he made a grill for me which I've
08:04I should've worn my grill today.
