>>> We'll get some of this info in the Songfacts. That's cool. What was useful?

First off - The Bloodhound Gang Lyrics are NOTHING at all like the original ones from Rockmaster Scott's. And to put it straight, the lines "we don't need no water, let the mutha F'er burn" weren't even in the actual recording - it was something Rockmaster Scott had the people shout back only at live shows. Back in the day of true old school rap, you didn't record curse words on your track for fear radio stations wouldn't play your songs. If you were a B-boy, you pretty much would only swear live to get a pop from the fly girls. Just recently, I looked everywhere for lyrics to Rockmaster Scott's "The Roof Is On Fire" and I have come to the conclusion that IT DOES NOT EXIST ON THE INTERNET, due to how old school the song really is. (Al Gore had not even invented the Internet at the time this track was released.) Anyhow "The Roof Is On Fire" by Rockmaster Scott and the Dynamic Three will live on by their lyrics here, possibly for the first time, transcribed in Cyberspace for everyone here to see. Kenny Casanova (of KennyCasanova.com) listened to the track over and over himself to put the words down forever for your viewing pleasure. (...and yes, I have NO LIFE.) _______________________________________ "The Roof Is On Fire" Performed by Rockmaster Scott and the Dynamic Three Written by G. Wigfall, R. Fowler & C.

Rockmaster gave him his start, before he made the jump to become Doug E Fresh's hype-man and latter a solo artist of his own. He is most known today for climbing the rap charts with "La-di-Dah-di we like to Party" a song that was covered many years latter by Snoop Dogg.)
