  • For What It's Worth is the 2nd studio album by rapper Andrew Exampl Autrey. The cd was released in September 2008. Exampl got the idea for this cd back in january but didn't actually start working on it til around march. He claims he needed a break from music since he had just released D-Day. Exampl has stated the main concept behind the album is independence. " Freedom from record labels, family & friends, the government, and myself ". However it may seem this cd is more personal, he claims that this cd is very unpersonal compared to his last lp. " I tryed to make music with this cd, some of its about my life, but in a different way. Its like now im free to make the music I really want to make, and no one can take that away from me ". He also states this cd will be his most lyrical to date. " I gave this cd everything i've got, and if this dont get me signed, then i don't know what will, haha ". The album managed to spawn 2 "buzz" singles with "Girlfriend" & "Can't Stop" prior to the release of the album. When the album was released, seeing as how AJG had a very good chart history, it was decided to push "Ski Iz Tha Limit" as the 3rd single. Within the end of the week, Exampl had recieved his 1st #1 hit single on soundclick.com.
  • "For What It's Worth" is performed by an opossum and a chorus of woodland animals on episode 221 of The Muppet Show. The song was originally released as a single by the band Buffalo Springfield. When it became a success, they included it on a 1967 re-release of their self-titled 1966 debut album. The sketch features three inept Whatnot hunters (including Gramps and George the Janitor, in a rare second season appearance) terrifying the woodland animals as they carelessly shoot their guns on their way through the woods. In the end, the hunters only manage to shoot a motorcycle, a tractor, and a cement truck, but the animals remain vigilant. Two of the verses to "For What It's Worth" were rewritten in order to transform the popular anti-war song into an anthem against hunting, but no one has ever been officially credited for these additional lyrics. Many of the animals used in this number were recycled from Emmet Otter's Jug-Band Christmas, only this time without their clothing: the Old Lady Possum puppet was reused for the lead singer (voiced by Jerry Nelson), while a fox (Harrison), badger (James), possum (Will), rabbit (George), and muskrat (Nat) appeared in the background. Other animals include a deer, a mouse, a toothless beaver, and a weasel. This song marked the first time several of these puppets were used on The Muppet Show. The deer, in particular, was built specifically for this number.
