Just in case...here are the pertinent lyrics to the Shaft theme song:
"Who is the man that would risk his neck for his brother, man? (Shaft)
Who's the cat that won't cop out when there's danger all about?
(Shaft)
They say this cat Shaft is a bad mother--
(Shut your mouth)."
"Theme from Shaft" by Isaac Hayes
Okay? Okay.
Joe and I went to see Shaft today. (No spoilers but let me just say, "Redbox.") As we were walking in, I asked him if he knew the words to the theme song. He said he did, so I sang, "Who is the man who would risk his neck for his brother man?" and looked at him.
He said, "Shaft." (No exclamation mark.)
I sang, Who's the cat who won't cop out when there's danger all about?"
Joe replied, "Shaft."
I said, "I hear that cat Shaft is a bad mother--"
Joe said, "Fucker."
Funniest thing since Jacqueline's "Underwear on a stick!" I didn't even know he knew that word!
