In 2011, Mark Wahlberg might be nominated for an Academy Award, which, apart from a spot on the Olympic team or a competitive eating contest championship belt, is America’s highest award for unnecessary professions.

In 1991, Marky Mark and the Funky Bunch did Good Vibrations.  Honestly, do the years in between even matter?  He could have colonized Mars and people would still call him either “Marky Mark”, or “Oscar Nominee Mark Wahlberg”.  Nobody would get introduced as “Mars Colonizer so an so” even if that’s what they did.  And if someone did colonize Mars, I would get there quick and declare that copyrights don’t apply and sing Good Vibrations and get allll the sweet dough.  Suckers.

Video and lyrics after the jump.  Oh, also, Donnie D’s on the back up.  Drug free, so put the crack up.

Marky Mark and the Funky Bunch – Good Vibrations

Yeah
Can you feel it baby
I can too

Come on swing it [4 times]

1-2-3 – Now we come to the pay off

It’s such a good vibration
It’s such a sweet sensation [2 times]

Yo! It’s about that time
To bring forth the rhythm and the rhyme
I’m a get mine so get yours
I wanna see sweat comin’ out your pores
On the house tip is how I’m swingin’ this
Strictly Hip-Hop boy, I ain’t singin’ this
Bringing this to the entire nation
Black, white, red, brown
Feel the vibration

Come on come on
Feel it feel it
Feel the vibration

(Chorus)

Vibrations good like Sunkist
Many wanna know who done this
Marky Mark and I’m here to move you
Rhymes will groove you
And I’m here to prove to you
That we can party on the positiive side
And pump posititve vibes
So come along for the ride
Making you feel the rhythm is my occupation
So feel the vibration

Come on come on
Feel it feel it
Feel the vibration

(Chorus)

Donnie D break it down

Donnie D’s on the back up
Drug free, so put the crack up
No need for speed
I’m the anti D-R-U-G-G-I-E my
Body is healthy
My rhymes make me wealthy
And the Funky Bunch helps me
To bring you a show with no intoxication
Come on feel the vibration

Yeah
Can you feel it baby
I can too

(Chorus)

Now the time has come for you to get up
The rest had you fed up but Yo, I won’t let up
On the rhythm and rhyme that’s designed to
Make your behind move to what I’m inclinced to
Pure Hip Hop, no sell out
If you ain’t in it to win it
Then get the hell out
I command you to dance
I wanna see motivation
Come on now feel the vibration

Come on come on come on
It’s such a sweet sensation
