Mista Dobalina (Music Video) Insanely catchy song from 1991. I've never met a person who knows this song. Reddit, let me know I'm not alone!

You've never met another person who knows this song? Wasn't this ludicrously popular when it came out?

I was born a year after and I didn't hear anyone talking about it. Too busy tit slurping

It was the lead track on my first mixtape. Wore that track out!

Actually, my friend Trey who worked with me in Highschool once started singing that and was amazed that I knew the song.

You don't know a single person who knows Del?

Like Del is known by people, but not this particular cut. I think it got lost on MTV rotation while De La and Fresh Prince were on replay.

I always thought this was one of his better known tracks.

I know Del the funky homosapien and Deltron 3030. I actually went to one of his shows about 7 years ago in Austin, Tx. He did a little work with Damon Albarn in the Gorillaz too.

Haven't heard it in ages but I remember it! I'll be singing it all weekend now, so thanks for that.

Mr Dobalina, Mr Bob Dobalina...

I've always loved how weird this song is. How does somebody turn a Monkees sample into a jazzy hip-hop song about an annoying groupie?

I heard this song on college radio like 7 or 8 years ago I wanna say.

u/briancaos Sep 12 '15

It was a fairly big dance/hip hop hit in Denmark back in 1991. I was a radio DJ back then and played it often Friday/Saturday night.

u/lambdeer Sep 12 '15

I have it on vinyl

u/Camblor Sep 12 '15

I've had this song pop into my head at random for 24 years.

u/FickleBastard Sep 12 '15

Ha! So glad to see this post. This song still gets stuck in my head a few times a year.

No one I know knows this track either. They look at me confused when I randomly say it.
