For Immediate Release
(RapNewswire.com) September 24, 2008 - 85-year-old television personality Ed McMahon will be featured in two viral rap videos for FreeCreditReport.com in which he will rap about his recent public financial woes. The videos are set for release in October 2008.1 McMahon publicly discussed his financial difficulties on the Larry King Live Show on June 5, 2008.
“I knew I could sing the blues, but I didn’t know I could rap,” Ed said Wednesday.
“When I retired, I was famous,” Ed raps in the video. “I had money and
glory/I bought a house for 6 mill/I thought nothing could touch me/Until
my credit went south, and debt started to crunch me/Next thing I know,
instead of playing gin rummy, I was scrambling just to make ends meet/It
wasn’t funny.”
“Got a bump from the media chumps, but that was temporary/Wife with
bad credit was scary, so I got wise/I may have fallen, but I got back up/Now
I’m back on the attack, like a ninja swinging nunchucks/I told the haters,
‘Go on, take a hike’/It’s my show now, and I can do what I like.”
Ed’s rap videos will appear online in October.
