Phil Collins: Real

When it was time to make a video to help promote his latest singles, Phil Collins didn't mess around. Phil Collins went big.

How big?

Oh, how about hiring famous comedian GILBERT GODFRIED? That big. And, oh, how about adding former Miss America VANESSA WILLIAMS?

Yeah. That's right. But that's not all.

How about, oh, say, adding the most famous professional wrestler at the moment (in 1989ish) THE ULTIMATE WARRIOR?

Yeah, Phil Collins didn't mess around. He was an artist, he was an entertainer, and he was a genius.



It was moments like that, that led to moments like this. Phil Collins cashing in on his street cred. Check him out here standing around, looking like a bad MF, while Bone Thugs n Harmony drop melodic rhymes over a classic Collins beat.



I say we take all those Chuck Norris jokes and replace them with Phil Collins jokes. Man earned it.

Actually, there's a group on Facebook.com dedicated to giving Phil Collins the kind of recognition Chuck Norris always gets. It's called "Phil Collins loves YOUR FACE! ...and your mom... and your MOM'S FACE!"
