Where can I view or purchase video of MC Hammer performing U Cant
Touch This?  My kids have never seen him, but we have photos of them
as toddlers in little Hammer pants, sunglasses, and gold chains.  They
don't quite get it, and my attempts to describe the campy and
infectious energy of the guy in his prime don't do him justice.  Even
a decent-length video clip would do the trick.  Thanks.

Thanks, answerguru, for this great lead.  I've registered on the
mediaservices site, but when I try to download the file I get a
message that says something like "Access denied.  Requires VIP
membership."  I don't mind paying 1 cent per megabyte, but wonder if
you also received this message?

Hi again,

Actually I did get the message - I thought I had mentioned that in my
answer but I guess not :) I paid the amount and was able to download
the video just fine (took about 20 minutes on broadband cable).

Funny! :)
