MC Hammer has an interesting background. As a teenager, the owner of the Oakland A's saw him dancing in the parking lot after a game. He gave Hammer a job working in the clubhouse on game days, handing out towels and collecting dirty laundry and the like. The owner named him honorary Vice President for Clubhouse Maintenance or something like that. The players thought he looked like the home run hitting legend Hammering Hank Aaron, so they gave him the nickname Hammer.

I heard this song 3 months before it hit. It was on the radio at like 2 am back when DJs played the songs I knew it would be huge at the time. He had a song on his first album called please Hammer don't hurt em. Loved that one too.

The movie Please Hammer dont Hurt 'em (1990) was my childhood! My brothers and I played that vhs to death 😅❤

God, everyone wanted Hammer Pants when I was growing up! I wanted some, too but I never did get them. Probably a good thing, I could never move like these people! This whole video just embodies the early 90's, it's so great!
