The American Music Awards were last night (full list of winners and nominees after the jump), and the best part of the evening was the MC Hammer/Gangnam style mashup performance that wrapped up the show. And to think, mom tried to throw out all my Hammer pants and double-breasted sequin blazers last year. It’s like I told her, my fanny pack and jellies just don’t work without them.
If you can’t find a wormhole to the year 1990, get your own Hammer pants here from Missoni and here from Chloe.
