In my little computer room, listening to NewPowerRadio, when it came on out of the blue.

i was over at a friend's house--she had it on her computer and i was like, "i haven't heard this song before..." so she put it on.

ya'll shoulda seen how much i was laughin at it...the song is a trip.

At home?

Downloaded it from Richie's FTP many mooooons ago...some of ya'll wouldnt remember that.

In the parking lot of some television studio when I was waiting to see the taping of the Vibe Show that Prince was on that I eventually didn't get into. Some dude was out there selling boots and was playing some on a stereo.

Drunk in college.....Wait you said heard it not said it.

Back when Napster was still illegal.

I found it extremely offensive. For a man who's probably spent years being ridiculed for being short, I thought it was strange he would make fun of large people. I mean, yeah, fat people CAN excercise and "work that fat off", but it doesn't help that we make fun of them. Not good. Not good at all.

I'm surprised he didn't make a song for us asians saying "Open 'em slant eyes" or some F@cked up shit like that.

I am sad to admit that I have'nt heard it ever, AT ALL, never. Anyone care to help a brotha out?

Well, hey man, you can't really complain -- he never released it!

didn't "T" put it on a compilation he "released" in 1997-8?

those days was fun werent they?

Never heard it.

Incidentally, do you think "Work That Fat" was intended as a kind of sequel to "Bob George"? They kinda sound like the same character.

Listening to it from WinMX in 2002 on Windows Media. I was like.."This is the same music from Martikas..."

Then I put it on CD and on my headphones while walkin 2 the store and i was bussin out laughin!

Now it's not that funny no more

When I turned 16, my father sat me down and gave me my own Sonny T. to cruise Plymouth with, and a tape with this song on a loop. Sonny and I listened to it over shots of rubbing alcohol whilst completely nude (In a platonic sort of way).

I heard it together with 2morrow some years back (what a contrast).

Also in the mix that is discussed here:
