"Mistadobalina" is a song by American hip hop musician Del tha Funky Homosapien. It was released as the second single from his 1991 debut album, I Wish My Brother George Was Here.[2] The single peaked at number 6 on the Billboard Hot Rap Songs chart,[3] as well as number 55 on the Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Songs chart.[4] In 2011, Willy Staley of Complex placed it at number 19 on the "50 Greatest Bay Area Rap Songs" list.[5]

Origin

[edit]

"The source of the lyrical name is from a song by The Monkees called 'Zilch'. Michael Nesmith, who died in 2021, revealed the origin of Mr. Bob Dobalina. 'It was the name of a department store manager in San Antonio,' Nesmith said. 'My wife Phyllis and I were shopping when the page came over the speaker and I was immediately struck by the internal rhythm of the phrase.'”[6]

In a 2012 Rolling Stone article, Del said, "I just kind of conceptualized who Mr. Dobalina would be."[7]
