Yes! It was also funny at the time, because Mother Chapman won 3 Grammys in '89 for this album and single 🎉 Getting parodied by the Wayans was like an 'I see you doing your thing, Sis' to a Black artist who was redefining the boundaries of Black music in the 80's and 90's. So glad I grew up in this era ❤
I just saw she won because she was the original songwriter and it was covered by Luke Combs which is why it even won. And honestly don't get me started on the CMAs because it seems a lot of country people are proving activists right on their past racism.
Still love this sketch. Kim Wayans was one of my favorite comedians on ILC. I know this parodies "Fast Car", but always wonder if people realize it also parodies "Behind The Wall". If you listen to that song, you'll know
Chapman was a great song writer. Still is. But she didn't fit the mold that the music establishment wanted. The writers of Living Color gave the establishment a great gift with this mockery of her work. Her songs were too deep and stiffly against materialism, violence and narcissism. No room for her in pop culture.

Actually, I am ashamed to admit, that as a child, I allowed this sit to make me not like Tracy Chapman... it wasn't until I was an adult, 21 years old that I realized how amazing and brilliant and wonderful Tracy Chapman is. My sister and I went to her show in Los Angeles in 2005 and it was amazing. The Wayans are responsible for destroying Tracy's image in the Black community as well as Vrystal Waters.. it was funny as a child, but repulsive as an adult
@@norestrictions12 Agree, they did various parodies, notably Michael Jackson's " Black and White". The one artist I heard who took exception was MC Hammer when Tommy Davidson portrayed him in "U Can't Touch This" where he gets his head stuck in his baggy pants.
I just think it's disrespectful. Fast Car is a beautiful song. Tracy Chapman is amazing. This chick here is just a product of nepotism. No talent. The joke is on her man. Just how I feel.
Who's here going down memory lane after that awesome Grammys performance last night?
🤟🏾🤟🏾🤟🏾🤟🏾
Me2
Me ❤❤❤
There's no way to explain to a young person how funny this was when it came out.
Right!!!
It's funny now
Still is
Tracey just won a CMA Award tonight (November 8, 2023) for Fast Car, 35 years after it's release. This shit is 100x more relevant than ever.

CMA? Boy talk about woke.
WOW 😮 that's crazy and I'm so happy for her. Love the song 🎉❤😂
I just saw she won because she was the original songwriter and it was covered by Luke Combs which is why it even won. And honestly don't get me started on the CMAs because it seems a lot of country people are proving activists right on their past racism.
I love Tracy Chapman, but I also love Kim Wayans parodying her. This was one of my favorite skits of all time.
I always think back this to thing. It was done so well on so many levels.
❤Kim Wayans XOXO
I remember this when it aired. The Wayans are hilarious. I bet their family dinners were hysterical.
Same!
Right? Man I miss this time period. I feel like we were so lucky to grow up then.
No doubt. They are a very funny family. I love Marlon's stand up.
I agree they launched so many careers on this show.not just actors and comedians but a couple of icons. So much talent on one show
"Uh oh he's up again" - my favorite part 😅😅😅
Damn this is still funny as hell even in 2024
Kim Wayans did these so well, just nailed the people she was satirizing with perfect timing
In honor of Tracy Winning Song Of The Year for Fast Car at the 2023 CMAs 35 friggin years later, here I am commenting on this video 🤣🤣🤣
This isn't a sketch. This is how Tracey wrote fast cars.
Oh heck yeah ! ! !
😂😂😂😂 I AGREE
As a little kid I always cracked up at "uh oh he's up again." As an adult...it's still good.
That was the funniest line in the song🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
@@martinajeffries9823 Lmaoooo same afff
😂😂😂
You can't rush a Tracy Chapman song. Ill have the song tomorrow. haha
2:32... Unmistakable Jim Carey laugh.. Hilarious.

Iconic moments in time!
"Shut up ya old bag of wrinkles!!!"💀
Tommy Davidson🤣🤣🤣

Man. Just watched Tracy Chapman on the Grammys tonight sing this with Cuz. Almost cried.. BUT THIS WAS FUUNNNNY MAN!!😂😂😂😭😭😭
And this is where my mind went after I was done crying and appreciating the Grammy performance 😂
Old Ms Walker tripped over the cat, then she her got baseball bat!!!🤣😂🤣😂🤣 Classic
I have all of Tracy's albums, her first one is one of the best ever...and I laughed my ass off at this.
Omg I remember when I first saw this and laughing so hard. And now Tracy and Luke performing it together over 30 years later is just amazing ❤
I remember being a kid watching this and lol
I just heard Luke Combs singing this song on the radio lol I had to come back here immediately 💯🔥😂
This is still a better 'cover' than his 😂
Omg me too
I just told my sister this. This is the only Tracy Chapman cover I’ll accept. 😂😂😂🤭🤭🤭
🤣One of my favorites! ❤
Cheers to Chapman and Combs on the Grammys!🎼🎵
By far the funniest wayans sibling . I love her!
"Uh oh!He up again!"😅🤣😂😆😁😄😃

😂I KNEW I HEARD THIS SONG SOMEWHERE😂!!! I GOOGLED FAST CAR IN LIVING COLOR, POPPED UP😂😂😂😂!!! LOVE IT❤
I finally remember this after humming the tune for years not knowing where I heard this.
"Uhh ohh, he's up again" killed me😂😂
This skit lives in my head rent free
So This Is Where Friends Got The Idea For Phoebes Character.
No way?
Hahahahahahahahahahahah "old man got hit by a bus I think he broke his neck" I fucking loved this show

And I do remember when this aired. Absolutely hilarious!
------------
ETA: yep, still funny AF
I saw this sketch before ever hearing "Fast Car", so when I finally heard Tracy Chapman's song, I couldn't help but remember these lyrics.
god dam people like you uploading snippets of the past deserve top respect
All these years and this still funny as all get out
2:32 That one guy laughing
Still love this sketch. Kim Wayans was one of my favorite comedians on ILC. I know this parodies "Fast Car", but always wonder if people realize it also parodies "Behind The Wall". If you listen to that song, you'll know
Ahhh man..living color ur a classic Wayans show..I still laff to this day..
Realizing that my two favorite skits that I still remember from when I was 12 are both Kim Wayans skits. This one and “Mindless”
I'm making millions. Isn't that funny. Ha ha hee. Ha ha ho 😂
Uh oh he’s up again 😂😂LOL
I seem to recall this one actually being included on the DVD unlike most of the shows' song parodies.
I was born. 1983. This was it
0:48 "SHADDAP, YA OL' BAG OF RIPPLE!!!"
Best insult ever.
isnt it wrinkles? goes with old bag part. you could be right, though 🤔
I actually got the first Season on DVD...and the mike Tyson part when he imitates him is funnyyyy
... Uh oh, he's up again!
playing the guitar upside down..lmao.
She's playing lefty like Jimi Hendrix.
Not fretting the chords, and strumming it wrong. LOL.
it’s a joke damn
it’s a joke damn
so epic, can’t touch this
Hilarious then and hilarious now.
Hilarious as usual!! What a talented family and love #whitechicks and #snl 90s version
So fantastic
Now Tracy & Luke did a fine job but not everyone Is Genious like Chapmen
I appreciate it and see related the song Behind The Wall. It also describes the horror of domestic violence.
I loved this show, but I've never seen this one before
Love this sketch.
So so good!
this is like the lil jon moment with dave chappel. when did you realize you were famous? when they made fun of me on in living colour.
First time i saw this was right after listening to Fast Cars.
😂😂 I loved this skit ❤❤
Singing in Tracy Chapman style.
Strumming Guitar like Jandek music 😄
Hey, i like Tracey Chapman....but yeah gotta miss the90s
Jp brought me bk here😂
This is so hilarious
This skit is underrated
Who’s here after the Grammy’s yesterday? 🙋🏻♂️

Imagine if she did a song with Lil Wayne. 😂😂😂
You guys do realize she phucked up and tried to freestyle through it.. Big Ben part…
Here in 2020!!! 😆🙌🏾

Lmfgdao in 2020

“Give Me One Reason” a few years later was a huge hit
Ok but did you laugh?
@kristinazubic9669 telling stories was a good one too

lmao.. Kim just strumming the out of tune guitar cracks me up.
laughing and crying
domestic violence is never fu-
At least she fought back, and won!
😂😂😂😂😂
this was before "political correctness" ... MASSINELY FUNNY !!
This show was controversial in its day.
Oh Kim Waynes. Googled her.
Luke Combs could never Lmao 😂

Deon Lucas It’s a parody. No one “destroyed” Tracy’s image. She’s still regarded as an amazing artist, musician, songwriter, and singer.

Same here. Now I understand why my Mom played her album non stop
Oh Pleaseeee
Her image never got destroyed. Everyone knew these were parodies...even I did as a kid.
better than tracy or luke
I hated that song "Fast Car." This skit was well deserved!
It just felt mean to me, instead of funny.
Soy boy
I just think it's disrespectful.
Fast Car is a beautiful song.
Tracy Chapman is amazing.
This chick here is just a product of nepotism. No talent. The joke is on her man.
Just how I feel.
Get a grip
How's it feel to live no sense of humor?
Woke snowflake
It's a SKIT from a COMEDY SKETCH SHOW, you goddamn snowflake!! It's SATIRICAL HUMOUR. Don't like satirical humour? Then you suck as a person.
