All That Theme Song? Where?

I was just feeling a bit nostalgic and looking up the All That show from Nickelodeon when I was a kid, and somewhere I came acress a line of trivia crediting TLC and featuring Aileen Quinn for the theme song (I believe this was on Wikipedia). I thought "No...not THAT Aileen Quinn! That's silly!" and would have thought nothing of it, except thr name was highlighted as a link, and when I clicked it, it took me to our beloved Annie's (Aileen's) page!

I'm sitting here trying to remember all the words, even Googled for the lyrics, and I just can't imagine where Quinn could have made a "feature/appearance" in this short little rap intro I remember!

Anybody know or have any guesses as to where in this theme song she is "featured"?

I'm pretty sure the All That theme song was done by TLC or maybe only Left Eye. Maybe she's credited for a sound clip or something (the kids screaming "it's all that"?) but other than that I can't imagine where she would even be involved in that haha

I just looked on wikipedia and it hasn't been changed so maybe it's true? That's extremely random if it is

The "Hard Knock Life" song was sampled for a Jay-Z song of the same title, which was a hit back around 1999-2000---I really liked it. I also recall when ANNIE came out, and wondered what happened to the girl who played Annie. Too bad her movie career didn't pan out (because of a contract) but cool to see that she continued on with her stage career and went on to teaching acting---sweet!

Oh thank goodness! Thank you so much! Very interesting. Although, I suppose I'm a little disappointed that she's still associated at all with rap, lol, but I'm happy to know the answer.

EDIT: Wait a minute...you said "of the same name", meaning the name of the song was "Hard Knock Life", not All That. But now I can't even find what I was talking about originally that credited Quinn with anything from All That, so I suppose my question is now irrelevant anyway. Blast!

I found them. I don't remember exactly where I saw it originally, but if you Google "TLC featuring Aileen Quinn" (make sure you use quotation marks), a bunch of pages will come up, giving a description of All That and including that line. This is where I'm baffled. This has nothing to do with Jay Z and Hard Knock Life (although, that was still an interesting fact I didn't know about :)
