Feel it, Feel it


Good Vibrations – Marky Mark and the Funky Bunch

When you think about it, the story of Mark Wahlberg breaks all molds. First, he rides brother Donnie’s New Kids on the Block coattails and somehow manages to produce a successful rap song that is way cooler than anything from NKOTB not called Step by Step. Fine, he succeeds where most has been relatives fail and it’s time to ride his one hit wonder off into the sunset to ask people, “Would you like fries with that?” But nooooooo, instead he transforms himself from a guy lifting a cinder block dumbbell in his music video to a legitimate actor landing lead roles in Boogie Nights, Planet of the Apes, and The Italian Job. Not to mention he creates the superb semi-autobiographical HBO show Entourage which becomes so hip A list Hollywood personalities beg for a role.

Truly an amazing feat, but he’ll always be Marky Mark to me. And if you’re lucky I may even perform the showstopper during this song.
