Craig Ferguson And His Puppets Perform "White Lines" (VIDEO)

I don't know how many of you remember "White Lines" the 1983 classic by Grandmaster Melle Mel that warns against the dangers of cocaine addiction and smuggling, but it's awesome. The only way to improve upon it is to lipsync to it with a bunch of puppets. Last night Craig Ferguson did just that, which is why he's a genius.

Ferguson has been known to open his show with impressive dance numbers , but this was an especially important night because Ferguson has been holding a puppet contest to see which one will get the boot at the end of the week and this was the last chance they had to really shine. I personally think the shark owned it, but am open to other ideas on the subject.

Craig had his usually cast of singer/dancers with him, but we are sad to report no one was dressed in a bondage outfit this time. We do, however, think the choice of song is not a coincidence considering Ferguson admitted to doing cocaine in the past on his show Tuesday night.

I love Ferguson. That was absolutely HI larious!!

[naschkatze]

The bit at the very beginning just sets me off as if he's trying to start a lawnmower or a snowblower.

[Genius]

Craig is the funniest man on earth. Anyone care to disagree? Bring it on and tell me who is better....He's got charm, quick as a whip, and he's gorgeous. Hello???
It's about time that he is finally getting some recognition. Even David Letterman is now mentioning to stay tuned for Craig Ferguson's show.
I feel sorta bad for Jimmy Fallon, he can't even touch Craig's wit. Jimmy needs some Ritalin, quick!
As for Conan O’Brien, he must be an acquired taste that simply repels me. You can't pour enough sugar on him. I would rather watch a rerun of Craig than watch a first run show of Conan, Sorry!
I think he is going to fail horribly against David Letterman; he was losing ground against (My Hero) Craig Ferguson before the change in the lineup.
Whatever...... I'm sticking with Craig Ferguson!

Some of my classic favorites are:

Denis Leary, when Betty White was the first "guest". He gave Denis a mini rattlesnake mug and they chatted for a while and Craig's response to Denis' inquiry , she watches porn? Hey, she's not your Golden Girl buddy! ROTFLMFAO!
Jennifer Tilly, OMG, friggin hilarious!
Sandra Bullock, Hot Sauce? I'll never forget that.

You have to check them out on you tube. They are priceless!

Craig, you have to stop posting comments praising yourself, it's kind of embarrassing...

[Winthorpe]

Funny stuff, but I'd respect Ferguson much more if he used Grandmaster Flash's original version of the song.

[chitown8]

This was hillarious. I watched it as it happend and could not stop laughing.

[yemaya]

Hilarious!! loved it!

[MsMsBurning]

This man is one of the funniest in the biz! Love ya!

The unicorn should go, because he over exposes on camera and gets washed out. Besides, he can't open his mouth as wide as the other puppets, hence making him less useful. What's more, he looks a little smug.

[Gwen R]

Someone should wash the smug right off that unicorn's face.

[RON STAMANT]

While the Shark was definitely working his fin off, I have to say I thought the Unicorn was really grooving and to hit that high note (especially for a mythical creature) is pretty tough!

[ricmarc]

i have got to start watching his show.

[Inquisitr]

Best late night on TV, hands down

[Forester]

riff stolen from Big Audio Dynamite.

[maggiee]

Yeah. Not like Big Audio Dynamite ever sampled anything.

[mcmingus]

Uhhh...not exactly

Big Audio Dynamite post-dated Grandmaster Flash and the Furious Five by about ten years.

No likely samples there, bud...

[Winthorpe]

Yeah, really. Blame it on Obama!

[2pt]

You know, I saw this last night and when I woke up and thought about it, I figured it must've been the ambien.

[Sleepyjohns]

Absolutely friggin' brilliant.

[gorgol]

Move aside Conan..let the real talent through.
