Flo Rida and DJ Marc Mysterio release Boston charity song
Rapper Flo Rida has teamed up with dance DJ Marc Mysterio to record a charity song which will benefit the victims of the Boston Marathon bombing.
Net proceeds from Booty on the Floor, which was released this week (10Jun13), will be donated to One Fund Boston, which was set up to help those affected by the 15 April (13) blast.
Mysterio, who used to live in Boston, Massachusetts, says of the
tune, "For me, (the lyrics) 'put your booty on the floor' is a
paraphrased way to say 'call to action' and 'get in gear', which
honors the first responders in Boston, as well as those whom (sic)
acted on impulse to care for the wounded. By supporting them now,
we are getting our collective booties on the floor."
The musicians are the latest artists to lend their support to the
One Fund Boston - Aerosmith, Carole King, New Kids on the Block and
Jason Aldean were among the stars who performed during the Boston
Strong: An Evening of Support and Celebration charity event in the
city last month (May13).
Three people were killed in the blasts and more than 175 were
injured in the tragedy.
