There is a 12/4 (swingy, but really uses triplets, so not really a
shuffle) track by DJ Kid and/or MC Love on Skyywalker records from
Florida.  I think it is called "Rockin Robin" and it is very 50's pop
sounding in a silly way.  The rapper sounds like he is 15 or something.
Seems like it is from '91 or so.
