    "comment": "Like \"Rapper's Delight\" and many other rap songs that were gaining traction in the early 80's, the song tells a clever and self-deprecating story: Frankie Smith misses his bus and has to walk 15 blocks to get to work. But \"Double Dutch Bus\" has a secret weapon: a hook filled with a kind of pig Latin variation sung by Smith and a group of kids along the lines of:\nMizzo izzay wizzat nizzo yizzou izzay\n\nThis was a precursor to Jay-Z's improvised language in his 2001 hit \"Izzo (H.O.V.A.),\" where he spells out HOVA in izzle-speak: H to the Izz-o, V to the Izz-A\n\nSnoop Dogg, an old-school aficionado, put his own spin on it, using it as part of his regular speech. Fo shizzle.",
