“Mistadobalina” by Del The Funky Homosapien

"Mistadobalina" comes off I Wish My Brother George Was Here, the 1991 debut album Del the Funky Homosapien made for Elektra, and the songwriting credit pairs Del with Ice Cube, who also helped produce the record alongside Del and the Boogiemen. Bob Morse and Eric Sheda engineered the track, and the title alone rolls off the tongue like a cartoon sound effect.

The album around it made a modest dent, climbing to 24 on Billboard's Heatseekers chart and 48 on the R&B/Hip-Hop albums list. And no, the album's name is not a George Clinton salute. It comes from a line in a Looney Tunes short, which was itself borrowing Liberace's catchphrase, the line he used on his TV show whenever his brother George failed to appear.
