Bobby Jimmy And The Critters
Founded: 1984. Members over the time: Bobby Jimmy, Jeff Page, Bo, Jammin Gemini, Buckwheat, Arabian Prince Bobby Jimmy aka Russ Parr was a character created by Russ Parr when he was the morning man on the legendary 1580 KDAY in Los Angeles Ca. in 1984. Bobby Jimmy initially started out as just a joke but one day the Egyptian Lover called and said "Hey man Bobby should do a record!!" So Russ Parr went into the studio and did the first single "We like ugly Women" on his own Label Rapsur, which sold over 50,000 copies. After Russ Parr received his first royalty check he realized that these song parodies could make some money. Then came the hit record Big Butt a parody of Whodini's "Big Mouth". Later Bobby Jimmy would sell well over 600,000 records. Bobby Jimmy has retired but don't be surprised if he makes a resurgence.
