[Sugarhill Gang, "Apache (Jump on It)"]
Tonto, jump on it, jump on it, jump on it
Kemosabi, jump on it, jump on it, jump on it

[Grandmaster Flash, "White Lines"]
Visions, dreams of passion
And all the while I think of you

[Kurtis Blow, "Basketball"]
Basketball is my favorite sport
I like the way they dribble up and down the court
Just like I'm the king on the microphone
So is Dr. J and Moses Malone

[Fat Boys, "The Fat Boys"]

[Run-DMC, "It's Tricky"]
It's tricky to rock a rhyme, to rock a rhyme that's right on time
It's tricky, it's tricky
Tricky, tricky, tricky

[Beastie Boys, "No Sleep 'Til Brooklyn]
No sleep 'til Brooklyn
Born and bred Brooklyn, U.S.A
They call me Adam Yauch, but I'm M.C.A
Well like a lemon to a lime, a lime to a lemon
I sip the def ale with all the fly women
