Yes, there is a slight resemblance to Tim Curry, but only with the make-up Taco used in this video.

In fact it was the famous actor Joel Grey in the musical film Cabaret (1972) who inspired him as far as his overall appearance was concerned.

...Was that entire conversation truly based on whether "black face" is considered to be racist?

Seriously?

It might not offend the MANY black people you claim to know but, in general, it's considered to be a form of racist behavior. Please do research before you make idiotic comments.

...and just enjoy the goddamn song/video.

Well done. You managed to entertain me for a couple of minutes with those rather amusing responses. Nice touch with the added "hons" and rhetorical questions. Suited oh-so appropriately.

i heard in the call ,i forgot about this song......still super duper awesome

[bgbreakdown]

Yes. I condescend to the ignorant. Poor little dears. At least I can keep my language clean, eh?

[flyingmonkeyskin]

To be fair, all your 'hons' and 'sweeties' sound condescending as fuck.

[bgbreakdown]

Uhh. Yeah. I think America is the center of the universe because of 19th century racism in the South. You are not very good at following the written word, are you, hon? Maybe you want to agree with Leon that black people LOVE black face, eh? Hahahahaha.

Funnae.
