Hey, R&B legends Ashford & Simpson have remade their 1984 hit "Solid" as an inauguration tribute called "Solid (As Barack)"! Get it? What a clever, fun, patriotic idea. Except, wait. Saturday Night Live totally made that exact joke. In October. Watch the two clips below — first is the new Ashford & Simpson single that goes on sale next Tuesday, then Maya Rudolph and Fred Armisen’s skit from three months ago. I actually kinda give A & S credit for the sheer audacity (of hope) it took to literally act out an old SNL gag without any irony. And look, "Solid" is a very…solid song, so I have no problem hearing it again. What do you say?

Do they not know how ridiculous this song is? Once again, SNL rules all.
I bought a Oris Replica watch from http://www.pop-watches.com, it was in reasonable price and good quality.
This is a revision of their Solid as a Rock…so they can now get royalties again, after selling their rights to the first song.
Nice idea, but you know we gotta stop putting Mr. O on such a high pedestal. You know somebody’s waiting to knock him down.

LAME. It wasn’t even funny on SNL. A&S has just tarnished their pathetic, untalented legacy.
