What the Dilly Yo?

Lately I have been listening to a lot of Busta Rhymes.  That guy is insane.  And he has a stock pile of videos from the late 90s that fit his personality beautifully.  The one I remember the most is "Put Your Hands Where My Eyes Could See."  The video not only embodied Busta's style but also the entire hip-hop video formula of the era (thanks to Hype Williams).  You get tons of fish-eyed lens shots.  Hot women dancing.  And lots of cuts.  This stands out though for it's "Coming to America" theme, the scene with Busta and an elephant sharing a hallway, and the insane glowing paint tribe dance-off finale.  

And the song is hot (also it is the first instance in which I remember hearing the phrase "what the dilly yo").
