Who's Linda Perry?

She was in that one hit wonder band 4 Non Blondes 20 years ago, wrote that lame "What's Up?" song and then went to write some songs for Pink.

The song “What’s Up” is a bit of a guilty pleasure of mine.  Yes, I know, many rank it up there with “We Built This City” (written by Bernie Taupin) as one of the worst songs ever but I like it (did I just say that out loud).  So, I just made the erroneous assumption that folks here might know who she is.
 
Also, her song writing and production credits go a litter deeper than just “What’s Up” and her stuff with Pink.
 

Unfortunately for Larry, a few thousand years had gone by and his material had passed into the public domain, fallen out the other side, had a brief resurgence during an ill-advised Persian Lounge music period, and then vanished from history.
 
A few thousand years later, a philosopher who dwelt on a raft in the middle of the Nile river but wouldn't admit it (yes, he lived in denial), discovered an ancient urn that contained a scroll of early knock-knock jokes and one of Larry's songs. He sold the scroll to an American aluminum siding salesman on vacation. When he returned to New York, the salesman accidentally left the scroll in the back of a taxi. Later, Steve Martin and John Candy fought over the cab in an incident that would someday become the start of an idea for Planes, Trains, & Automobiles. Steve made the innocent mistake of assuming the scroll was one of his and took it home. It is believed that Steve translated the hieroglyphs to copy portions of Larry's song. Steve change the lyrics because he felt that singing, "King Tut's somewhat unknown and rather embarrassing uncle, Deuce" was overly wordy.
 
Other than that, it's exactly the same.
