I was unaware of the existence of Uncyclopedia, a parody of Wikipedia (although it’s actually hosted by Wikia, the company founded by Wikipedia founder Jimmy Wales. I particularly like their entry on John Seigenthaler, who famously disputed the accuracy of his Wikipedia entry.

Two old white guys whose music from the ’60s and ’70s shows up sampled in a lot of hip-hop: Monty Stark and Galt MacDermot. Stark’s “Comrades” is fun, and “Dreams” is the source of a great lyric previously referenced here: “I might have been a parrot / A gay Brazilian parrot / If someone hadn’t wakened me and / Pulled me out of bed.” MacDermot is most famous for “Hair.”
