The "Can't Touch This" video by MC Hammer was released on January 13, 1990. Apparently, the female dancers in his video were old friends of his, but there are no details available of their names.
The name MC Hammer came about because Stanley Kirk Burrell was a builder before getting into hip-hop. he found the beat of hitting the hammer interesting and began to create rhymes over the beat he would make with the hammer hence MC Hammer.
Depending on whose figures you believe, the individual/group who has sold the most albums overall is either Elvis Presley or The Beatles. In terms of known, verified sales, the Beatles lead by about 5 to 4.
The highest-selling SINGLE album is Michael Jackson's Thriller. In terms of overall verified sales, he's at about 3 compared to that 5:4 ratio mentioned above, slightly behind Madonna (also about 3).
He was a sailor in a P-3 squadron at NAS Moffet Field. When a Naval Flight Officer or Naval Aviator went for their Mission Commander check ride they had to make sure that all the tools were accounted for, usually this is "hey are all the tools there?" "Yes sir, sign right here." The flight takes off and our guy shows up and says "hey I found this hammer." It's an automatic failure for the check ride. Thus he took on the name of Mission Commander Hammer or MC Hammer.
One of his biggest hit songs was titled "Pray" (1990). The album V Inside Out 1995) contains the song "Going Up Yonder". The album Family Affair (1998) contains songs such as "He Brought Me Out" and "Unconditional Love".
Hammer recently performed a self-parody role in a television ad for Lay's potato chips. Some kids lose their baseball over the fence of a neighbor apparently infamous for not returning lost toys, so they throw him a bag of chips to appease him. He throws back their ball, their dog, a car belonging to one kid's dad, and MC Hammer, still dressed in golden sparkle shirt and Hammer pants. MC Hammer instantly breaks into the chorus of "U Can't Touch This." The kids then toss Hammer back over the fence. He also appeared in an ad for Nationwide Insurance which made fun of his sudden fall from fame and wealth. In 2004, "U Can't Touch This" was licensed by Purell for a series of commercials. Hammer reaffirmed his Christian beliefs in October 1997 and now has a television show on the Trinity Broadcasting Network. Hammer has officiated at the celebrity weddings of actor Corey Feldman and Susie Sprague on 30 October 2002 and Mötley Crüe's Vince Neil and Lia Gerardini in January 2005.
