Another sign that times are hard.
According to CNN, Ed McMahon will star in two viral rap videos for FreeCreditReport.com, a financial Web site owned by credit bureau Experian.
What we can look forward to:
"When I retired, I was famous," McMahon raps in the video. "I had money and glory/I bought a house for 6 mill/I thought nothing could touch me/Until my credit went south, and debt started to crunch me/Next thing I know, instead of playing gin rummy, I was scrambling just to make ends meet/It wasn't funny."
After being joined by two scantily clad women, McMahon continues: "Got a bump from the media chumps, but that was temporary/Wife with bad credit was scary, so I got wise/I may have fallen, but I got back up/Now I'm back on the attack, like a ninja swinging nunchucks/I told the haters, 'Go on, take a hike'/It's my show now, and I can do what I like.
The big question on everybody's mind: Will he outdo Soulja Boy?
