Is somebody pulling our lizzle?

Snoop plans to write, produce, and record a fresh new theme song for One Life to Live, a daytime soap opera older than the rapper himself!

Even weirder, he's playing himself in a string of upcoming episodes for the OLTL web series!

Whoa!! We knew the Sexual Eruption singer turned over a new leaf when he traded in his Dee Oh Double-Gee for a lion, but this is straight cray!!!

Snoop will record the song with 23-year-old beauty Iza Lach and producers hope their catchy ditty will bring back old fans as well as entice new ones!!

ABC cancelled the 43-year-old soap opera last year, but the rights were acquired by Prospect Park/The Online Network and a web-based reboot is already in the works.

Prospect Park CEO Jeff Kwatinetz is excited by the unconventional partnership; he admitted:

“We’re thrilled to have the support of such an iconic artist, like Snoop Lion. To have him write and produce the theme song for this series and to have the amazingly talented Iza Lach on board, is just incredible. We are extremely grateful and excited for fans to hear the new theme song and of course catch Snoop Lion in upcoming episodes."

Calling in the Dogg Pound is a bold move, we agree!

The OLTL revival already had our attention, now it has our curiosity!!

New episodes air on iTunes and Hulu beginning April 29!

Sorry but I thought OLTL got cancelled a year ago or so, along with All My Children (the exec should be fired, I watched these shows for years with my Grandma). As far as I know (but I may be wrong) the only ABC soap still on is General Hospital. Saw it a few times when my computer was in for repair last summer.

Snoop Dogg, or "Lion" now, has been on the show before, so this is nothing new.

@teeter totter - They're bringing it back, but it'll be online. The same goes for All My Children, I believe.

I chuckle every time Lion pops up somewhere new and incongruous. Last it was making funny brownies with Martha, and before that having fried chicken and waffles with Larry King; or doing a collab with Katy Perry, a tune with his daughter, or now doing a theme tune for a soap. I do believe…that Snoop just may be the most interesting man in the world. Someone gift that man with some Don Equis brewskies.

Oh, yeah. Forgot the Miley Cyrus slash Snoop reggae tune, where Snoop's bitz vocally ruled. Every time Snoop's head disappears, another Snoop head pops up somewhere else. Love it. Funny thing is I barely knew or heard anything about him in his breakout dayz, but always watch for his shiz now including his interview shows listed on youtube.
