Frederick Robert Williamson, nicknamed "The Hammer" (born March 5, 1938) is an American actor and former professional American football defensive back who played mainly in the American Football League during the 1960s. He has black belts in Kenpo, Shotokan Karate, and Tae-Kwon-Do. Since 1997 Williamson has had a home in Palm Springs, California.
After playing college football for Northwestern in the late 1950s, he was signed as an undrafted free agent by the Pittsburgh Steelers. When during training camp he was switched to their defense, his attitude over the switch prompted him to play his position with too much aggression, and the coach of the 49ers asked him to quit "hammering" his players. Thus, "The Hammer" quickly stuck and became his nickname.
Williamson played one year for the Steelers in the National Football League in 1960. Next, he moved to the new American Football League. Williamson played four seasons for the AFL's Oakland Raiders, making the AFL All-Star team in 1961, 1962, and 1963. He also played three seasons for the AFL's Kansas City Chiefs.
Addams Groove
Hammer
[You rang?]
(Chorus:)
They do what they wanna do, say what they wanna say
Live how they wanna live, play how they wanna play
Dance how they wanna dance, kick and they slap a friend
[The Addams Family]
Now I was cold coolin', you know [maxin' and relaxin']
Just kickin' it around the house [Oaktown kickin' it]
When a knock, a knock, a knock and a voice yo!
Can Hammer come out? [what's up?]
Now I don't mind [mind] being a friend
And showin' a little bit of flava [flava]
But Wednesday, Pugsley, Gomez, Fester [oh man]
Man, them some strange neighbours
(chorus)
I remember the day I needed to borrow
A little bit of pepper [for my chicken]
The next thing you know, comin' at me
Was a hand with the fingers high steppin' [I'm witcha]
Now I tried to play it along [you know]
And act like I was havin' a ball [ha ha]
But what do I see [yo] a perm with feet [Cousin It]
Standin' about three feet tall [I'm outta here]
(chorus)
Speakin' and thinkin' about the Addams
You know the Hammer is with it [I'm with it]
Act a fool, no bones, Swooop, Goofy and Randy
You know we kick it [the posse]
Now is the time to get in your mind
It's OK to be yourself [be yourself]
Take foolish pride and put it aside
Like the Addams, yo! they def [that's a family!]
(chorus)
