    Lyrics:
    Now I have a story that I'd like to tell
    About this guy you all know him, he had me scared as hell!
    He comes to me at night after I crawl into bed
    He's burnt up like a weenie and his name is Fred!
    He wears the same hat and sweater every single day
    And even if it's hot outside he wears it anyway!
    He's gone when I'm awake but he shows up when I'm sleep
    I can't believe that there's a nightmare; on my street!

      I remember this kut back in the summer of 1988! I had an Aiwa CS-R10 boombox back then! And I can remember wearing this tape out! Summer 1988!! Great Times! I also had Bobby Brown's tape: "Don't Be Cruel"!!
      I never even knew this song had a video!! "Parents just don't understand" was on heavy rotation back then on BET and MTV. But this is the first time in 30+ years I ever saw this video!
      I didn't have much money back then, but I had my music! Had to be careful back then too! Crack cocaine the addicts and drug violence too! My sister and brother in law were both hooked on crack! But this music temporarily helped me escape their misery and hopelessness!

      It was re-discovered over a month ago, when someone found a VHS tape with a recording of the music video with the sound slightly distorted and a clip of the TV show Growing Pains overwritting a couple of seconds of ithe tape, but still, it was too big of a discovery to not post it on RUclips, which got taken down because Jazzy Deff decided to make an official upload of it. I'm pretty sure that Deff has always owned a copy of the music video, he just didn't want to upload it until the time was right.

      That would probably be followed by the original conversation.

It was on a taps that also introduced me to KRS-One, Stetsasonic, Big Daddy Kane, Kool Moe Dee, Roxanne, Roxanne Shante and others. It was my first proper experience with hip-hop. It was on from then. I eventually became a DJ, hooked up with my own crew and started a record label.
    The story took a dark turn a few years back and I'm still trying to get back on it.
    But I still have that tape and this album on vinyl. Live at Union Square will always be the best joint on this album though.
