The Mayor’s kitchen cabinet in full gear<\/a>, someone remembered the Bears’ Super Bowl Shuffle<\/a> and lo and behold, a rap penned in honor of Mayor Bloomberg<\/a> emerged:<\/p>\n

“Mayor Mike’s Rockin”
\nBY ALISTAIR (CHARLIE BIGGS) SEALY
\nand LENNY (MR. L) MOORE<\/p>\n

Who’s running the city an’ making it airtight?<\/br>
\nI can tell you that nobody cares like Mayor Mike<\/br>
\nMake your own way, go against that grain<\/br>
\nIt takes an independent mind to wanna change this game …<\/br>
\nFor people who thought he was keepin’ his dough<\/br>
\nSaved the Harlem Dance Theatre when it needed him most …<\/br>
\nThe Board of Ed failed, that remains a true thing<\/br>
\nSome are scared to change the way we do things<\/br>
\nMayor Mike is gettin’ with the times<\/br>
\nLeaders should be independently inclined<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

City . . . airtight . . . can’t breathe . . . help!<\/p>\n

The forgotten final verse (with apologies to Jim McMahon):<\/p>\n

I am the funky mayor, known as Bloomberg.
\nThey call me hizzoner, and I’ve got to return.
\nMy funky kitchen cabinet gets into the mix
\n‘Cause they know I can’t dance, but that I can take the six.
\nOlympic Committee, I like to tease.
\nBoard of Ed, I make them say please.
\nAnything about the Jets, any foolish kerfuffle
\nIs quickly forgotten after the Funky Mike Shuffle.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
