I started liking his music at 12 years old. My grandma had the album The kids and me. Nothing from Nothing is a fun song but it makes sense too.

Very cool song. I dig all of Billy's shit from this period. Billy's wig was hella cool as well. Couldn't really step to Sly's and Larry's 18th century Mozart wigs though. Their's was the shit!

I like that song. Billy sure can tickle the ivories, But my favorite song by him is "Will It Go Round In Circles?" What the Hell do those lyrics mean? Someone please clue me in.

I forgot to add that this song always makes me think of Eddie Murphy in Raw when he's making fun of his dad for fucking up old lyrics and using them when he's arguing with him:

"Nobody gets punched for nothing. What...? Eddie...No, don't say 'nothing'. Eddie. (singing) Nothing from nothing leaves nothing. Had to do something...motherfucker punched you in the mouth."
