Rap group accidentally plays melody. . .

"We're sorry but it was an accident".

That's what rap group, uRD, better known to fans as
"upper Respiratory Disease", told fans who showed up last night to hear 
them rap their latest smash hit single, "yo".

Apparently the group's record scratcher, during the performance 
accidentally scratched 4 consecutive scratches which, when listened to 
closely, sounded like 4 unique musical notes .. notes that fans say

"sounded like a melody to them".

uRD's lead gangster, Vanilla-Chocolate-SwiRL told reporters,

"When we heard that **** we STOPPED that ****, stopped it dead stone 
cold DEAD. We stopped rap'n, stopped scratch'n, stopped walk'n round 
shake'n our arms goin yo ..
Our fans paid good money to come see us and it wasn't fair for our fans 
to have to put up with melodies and lyrics and ***** when all THEY came 
to do was hear us go 'yo' ."

Ticket Master, promoter of the concert semi-agreed with the group. The 
rest of the concert was Kancelled with a "K" and the fans were given 
most of their money back.

One of the fans later commented, "They did the right thing. If I wanted 
to hear melodies I'd stay at home and listen to Barry Manilow or some 
wack elevator muzak like that. uRD did the right thing by me".

uRD, currently trying to recover from the melodic incident has yet to 
announce plans for continuation of their nationwide tour, until the 
"duss set'lz " or so they say.
