Sandra Bullock raps

October 16, 2013 • 12:24 pm

Sadly, neither Sandra Bullock nor Sarah Silverman has yet realized that I would be their perfect mate, but a guy can dream. After all, Silverman is an atheist Jew, and Bullock not only went to my high school (later than I, of course), but also, like me, spent several teenage years in Germany. Isn’t Professor Ceiling Cat a step up from a philandering, tattooed motorcycle freak?

And how can you not find this adorable? It’s Bullock rapping to Sugarhill Gang’s “Rapper’s Delight” (1979; original here) on the Jonathan Ross show.

Her explanation for knowing the lyrics is also great. From ET:

Bullock, 49, explained that she learned the rap to impress a boy that she liked back in high school. “I was like, ‘Next time I go to that dance, I’m going to know every word. I’m going to make sure he sees me lip-syncing it, and I’m going to catch his eye, and say the words. And he’s going to like me. And sadly it worked.”

  1. I was living in Germany in 1979 and R&B, Soul and Funk were very much a part of the subculture I was part of. Sitting here writing this I can “sing” at least two verses of Rapper’s Delight straight from memory, and I am sure I would have no problem singing along to every single word. I had the record even. Can’t remember what happened to it.

    Sandra Bullock could do a lot worse, has done I should say, than you Jerry. Travel, good food, good drink, good music, exciting confrontations with varying degrees of crazy beliefs? And cats, let’s not forget the cats.

      1. Damn, how could I forget the boots? If my mother, sister and wife (full disclosure, that is three different people) are anything to go by, footware is a very common passion among woman. Jerry’s boot collection is likely to be one of his most valuable assets.

      2. More importantly, don’t forget, the professor is STAUNCH! Praise the STAUNCH!
        Ms Bullock loves Staunch!

  2. I don’t know if she’s available, but as atheist Jews go, Amy Alkon the “Advice Goddess” seems promising. She for better or for worse incorporates ideas from evolutionary psychology into her columns.

    I’m pleased but not surprised that Prof. Cc’s list of desirable Jewish atheists doesn’t include Ayn Rand.:)

  3. Ah, but what are Ms. Bullock’s thoughts about religion?

    I know some couples manage to maintain a “mixed” relationship, but I don’t think I could. I don’t think there is any concatenation of physical and/or intellectual attributes that could make up for being a theist. It’s just too important.

    When my wife and I were married, I hadn’t yet explicitly admitted to anyone, including myself, that I was an atheist. Thankfully, we both came to the conclusion that religion was BS.

    2. That’s one of the reason’s Darwin’s achievements were so pivotal and courageous! His wife was a devout Christian, and even before that, his father sent him to University to study for the Anglican ministry! Not to mention the challenges of that social environment, back in the 1800s, when to espouse evolution and natural selection vs creation via godly hands was tantamount to heresy.

      (I’ve been watching Darwin’s Brave New World on eqhd — wonderful little series.)

      I’m like you though. Couldn’t partner with a bible-thumper either.

    3. I’m always amazed at the number of “mixed” marriages…not what I’d want in ‘soulmate!’

  5. I’d go with Bullock over Silverman. And she’s perfect for you, especially because you’re not a weird biker dude who is likely to leave her for a tattooed lady creature. (See how valuable it is to have a friend who reads gossip columns in the Daily News?)

  6. Oh, that’s what I did wrong. I memorized Monty Python lines…..

    I love Sandra Bullock – she’s totally the kind of white girl I wish I could be and I watched an episode of Sarah Silverman on Seinfeld’s Comedians in Cars and Getting Coffee and I realized why I like her so much. She said her parents never censored themselves around her and that’s why she’s as she is and I realized that is totally what happened to me too! She even gave an example of which I have a similar story!!

  7. I hope you’re in great shape, Jerry. A 49-year old woman whose physical condition is as impressive the woman I saw floating around in Gravity probably has a life expectancy exceeding yours by 20 years.

  9. I think she is attractive (understatement). My wife loves her and continued to make me watch he movies…which are generally good. Though the last one in space looks far too tense…will wait for DVD so I can watch with Johnny Walker in hand.

    2. I saw it last night. It is the only movie I’ve liked the 3D so I recommend you see it in theatres. I thought it was a really good movie (despite what NDG tweeted :))

      1. Well even NDG himself liked it despite of what he tweeted so you’re in good company there!

  10. You going to be jealous, Jerry, when I tell you that the celebrity person that my wife is said to most resemble is Sandra Bullock. She doesn’t quite have her legs but hey.

    On the other hand I am said to resemble Edward Norton.
    (Yeah, really can’t see the two of them together hey?)

  11. Sandra Bullock is one of my firm favourites; not only is she extremely beautiful (those legs: my word), but whenever I see her interviewed she always comes across as incredibly personable, utterly down to earth, and charmingly self deprecating and modest.

    She is one of the few Hollywood actors that I always imagine would be great fun just to share a beer with (Hugh Jackman is at the top of that list, but I don’t think I’d find him quite as appealing in hot pants – though I could be wrong; he’s a handsome man after all).

    1. Her sister opened a restaurant and she helped out there too. That is so down to earth! Imagine if Sandra Bullock was your waitress!
