Huh. So, it was only just a few minutes ago that I first learned that "Gangsta's Paradise" was not an original song. Funniest thing is that I saw it mentioned in a Reddit thread about Weird Al Yankovic.
(Kind of hoping this isn't another "Under Pressure"/"Ice Ice Baby" situation, where everyone and their mother's pet hamster's third cousin knew about this already, except for me. >_>;;)
