Fat Boys "Crushin" 45" VG+

Just found a Fat Boys 45 i acquired in a lot. "Crushin" with "Wipeout" on the B-side. Thing is neer mint. Out of a box of 300 45's i picked up, mostly Segar, Madonna and 80's mish-mash b.s. Any thoughts or interest, his me up.

i love the fat boys, but that ain't worth anything if that's what you're wondering...

Man that just brought back some MEMORIES!!!

I had that 45 on my Fisher Price record player....DAILY!!

DAT black TINPANAPPLE label!

That's crazy I'm wearing my FAT BOYS- CRUSHIN t-shirt as I read this. The one with them all holding up that huge snake,,,

holding up a snake??? wasn't the crushin' cover them in a junkyard on top of a car??

No idea but on my t-shirt they definitely holding up a huge snake,,, like a boa constrictor

Maybe my shirt is worth something

i got this box of used 45's out of a juke box. so all the a-sides are burnt up pretty good. mostly country, rock, 80's pop, and then this thing thats like brand new. just baffled me how it found it's way into the box.

i can see how that 45 would be in a jukebox collection. believe it or not, that fat boys & beach boys remake of "wipeout" was HUGE back in the day... i remember back then they'd show the video all the damn time...

Just that it was the only thing close hip hop out of the 300 I snagged. Seems like a more redneck bar... Probably a copy that found its way into the bar but never actually made it into the juke box

Wow.... Yea that actually makes sense. Many doubles and even triple copies... A sides are tore up, so probably a reorder someone messed up.

Wipe Out was the last song the Fat Boys made after they retired. I hated that song but the fact that it was the Fat Boys I tolerated that shit. That song was crossover status.

Anyway the first 3 Fat Boys LP are worth looking into, those defined Hip Hop along with RUN DMC, LL Cool J and the Beastie Boys first albums.
