“Baby Got Back” is a classic rap song originally by Sir Mix-a-lot.
For those of you who are drawing a blank, its the song that starts out with a girl saying “Oh..my…god! Look at her butt! Her butt is SOO big”
And then continues with Sir Mix-a-lot spinning his rhymes:
I like big butts and I cannot lie
You other brothers can’t deny
That when a girl walks in with an itty bitty waist
And a round thing in your faceYou get sprung and you wanna pull up tough
You notice that butt was stuffed
Deep in the jeans she’s wearing
I’m hooked and I can’t stop staring
Anyways. Devon came across a musician named Jonathan Coulton who does an awesome cover of the song… Its the ultimate “white guy” cover of a rap song. Think John Mayer does Run D.M.C..
Its really well done and pretty catchy to boot; I’ve been walking around our house singing the chorus ever since Devon played it for me yesterday…
“Baby got Baaaaa-aaack”
Enjoy the song, and if you’re intrigued and want to hear more of Jonathan’s songs, he has a free weekly podcast available on Apple’s iTunes.
