I'm pretty sure the girl that inspired the song works here...she's leaving today. =(

I maintain Baby Got Back is a liberating song for women, calling on them to reject unattainable, unhealthy, and unrealistic body types and to be happy with the way that they look.

My SO says its all about having sex with women with large asses, which is OK too, IMHO.

/And also to Shake it! (Shake it!) Shake it! (Shake it!) Shake that healthy butt.

napjerk: Plus, My Hooptie, Beepers, etc.

And who can forget "Put 'em on the glass"?

Even the Simpsons gave this one a nod in an episode (Marge: "Take 'em off the glass! Take 'em off the glass!")

What a stick in the mud.

He does encourage women to exercise and get into shape, but not to become obsessed with it, keeping in mind that they are already beautiful creatures:

"You can do side-bends or sit-ups, but please don't lose that butt"

My anaconda don't want none
Unless you've got buns, hun

Awesome, I love classical music.

Now I'm your big mal dropper, mud duck stopper
Fila on the bottom and Adidas on the topper
Transform scratchin', big beat matchin'
I can tell you're getting jealous by the looks I'm catchin'
I hate dumb skeezers, MC beaters
Drop 5 grand on my bird white needer? (i have no idea, but i think it's watt
meter)
Smooth like ice, don't get nice
Just turn up the box for the Mix-A-Lot slice (huh huh)

Y'all ready to get busy? (huh huh!)
Now, buttermilk biscuits here we go
SIFT the flour roll the dough
Clap your hands and stomp your feet
Move your butt to the funky beat (huh huh)

Buttermilk biscuits (x 3)
(Lord have mercy Mix-A-Lot's our here rappin' about biscuits now)

We're from L.A. to the Carolinas
Dip them suckers in Aunt Jemima
Don't make a difference what food you make
Use buttermilk biscuits to clean your plate
You eat 'em in the morn', you eat 'em at night
Kentucky Fried Chicken makes the suckers just right
I am eat 'em with jelly it's my favorite deally
Wrapped and sealed by a freak named Shelley (huh huh)

Buttermilk biscuits (x 3)

One day I kissed my freak, hit the street
Looking for something to eat
In a 18-wheeler, lookin' real swass
All the girls smile 'cause I'm the big boss
Said I gotta eat now, can't eat later
Made a lot of noise to attract my waiter
The boy walked up, and what did he say?
"Say, buttermilk biscuits free today!"
So what you waitin' on boy, get up shake a leg
Gimme 10 of them suckers with grits and eggs
A glass of Koolaid and a whole stick of butter
Them biscuits make me a superfast cutter (huh huh)

Now grab that can and wrap it in your hand
Bang that sucker till THE DOUGH EXPANDS
PUT them suckers up in your oven
Grab your girlie and get a little lovin'
Add a BIT of honey if you want to get funny
Microwave the suckers if you want your honey runny
GONNA get naughty at the Mix-A-Lot party
And rub them suckers all over your body (huh huh)

Wow....Just Wow.

My mind has officially been blown. I must now turn off my computer, go sit under a tree, and contemplate the metaphysical implications of a G&S version of "Baby Got Back."

Well done guys. Well done.

Fission Mailed Subby.

As stated in prior posts, a must for ANY music collection:



20 years later, still in my music rotation.

I would like to say that I perform Baby Got Back at karaoke regularly, and I am never drunk when I perform, nor do I need to look at the words. I've got that song memorized, and I'm always amazed at people who are amazed that I know all the words. How hard of a song is it to remember? SRSLY?

CastorTroy: As stated in prior posts, a must for ANY music collection:

Hell, yes. I came here to biatch at subby, but Fark has not disappointed me today.

"Posse On Broadway" is still one of the sickest rap songs ever made. I'd love to hear it remixed by artists like Vex'd or something.

Tom_Slick: Link for those who have never heard the greatness of My Hooptie.

To me Rippin was always the underrated tune on Swass. Gold is an awesome track too.

Make sure you get the original release of SWASS though, I don't remember why, but Sir Mix had to re-release it a few years back and some of the tracks, including Rippin, were modified and/or changed

I've heard of Baby Got back, but not the others.

1989 Posse On Broadway The Billboard Hot 100 #70

1992 Baby Got Back The Billboard Hot 100 #1

1996 Jump On It The Billboard Hot 100 #97

But I guess if they reach the Hot 100, they are hits (Or does it need to be top 40?).

It was ranked the 12th greatest one-hit wonder and the 6th greatest song of the 1990s by VH1.

Also: The term One Hit Wonder describes an artist or band who had great popularity with a single song, and who then never reached such popularity again. Even though many people who technically fall into the One Hit Wonder class continued to write, perform and produce music, they never again reach the somewhat iconic stature that their One Hit Wonder song gave them for a short period of time.

And, the obligatory Jonathan Coulton folk-y version.

I think you're both right. In fact your SO's interpretation I think just validates your interpretation.



/I like enormous posteriors and I cannot prevaricate.

spyderqueen: /I like enormous posteriors and I cannot prevaricate.

I've just fruitlessly killed my lunch hour doing a GIS for the lyrics done up on the Bayeux Tapestry . . .

/I liketh bigge buttes, and I cannot lye

I am surprised no one mentioned that the video was about a half second ahead of the audio. Still an awesome song today. I know I'm not the only one who can recite the whole song by memory.

Jaime Foxx does it even better using bigger women. (new window)

And...Sir Mix-a-Lot still has his money from that record, unlike many of his contemporaries.

I heard an interview with him a few months ago. He said he was feeling on top of the world when he hit #1, but then realized there was only one direction from there and he better start worrying about his finances. He started socking money away in investments, became a producer so he would still have a job when the taste of the record buyer's changed, etc...

He's even more intelligent than I thought he was when I only knew he liked big buts.

Not like these distinguished gentlemen from the fair city of Miami, FL from the Nineteen hundred and eighties! (new window)

Rockin' cover of Baby Got Back. (new window) Pretty cool

baby got back is on my list of songs I'd like to never hear again...evar

unfortunately since karaoke bars here in the US
aren't separated by rooms like the ones in Japan
I have to avoid them all together.

I feel your pain. I teach 2nd grade and I had a student look at me and start with.. "I like big butts and I can not lie."

It pained me to my core to have to tell him that it was not an appropriate song for school.

To use the clever FARK lexicon... THIS.

I know every word of that album. I probably listened to my dubbed copy while mowing lawns 200 times. Ahh... to be 12 again. No, wait. Being 12 sucked. Carry on.

I have never seen this song performed by guys at karaoke.

Only girls with no butt what-so-ever.

Kind of ironic.

/incorrect use of "ironic" I know

This has always been my favorite version. It was on the Apple website for about 8 minutes and then vanished.

Enjoy (new window).

I came here for the pictures of big butts. I'm leaving severely disappointed in the whole Fark community.

I used to be friends with a karaoke DJ and his buddies, and every Thursday go to karaoke. One of them used to do what was called the "Sexy Broom Dance" whenever this song was sung.
I will leave you with the lovely mental image of a skinny, pasty white, failed screenwriter and smoker gyrating madly while grinding on a broom.

/I still think this song is fun.
//You should check out the Grasshopper Takeover cover of it, it was playing on Omaha radio for months.

Square Dance Rap...

Can he get some credit for the Pussycat Dolls big hit?

/Direct rip-off of Swass.

Sorry, dude. Here ya go:

Now grab that can and wrap it in your hand
Bang that sucker till the dough expands
put them suckers up in your oven
Grab your girlie and get a little lovin
Add a bit of honey if you want to get funny
Microwave the suckers if you want your honey runny
gonna get naughty at the Mix-A-Lot party
And rub them suckers all over your body, woohoo
Buttermilk biscuits!

/the kids love it when I sing this while cooking Sunday breakfast

Hey Mix-A-Lot, what in the world is that noise cotton picker?
Sound like Grand Ole Opry
Hear what I say Mix-A-Lot, say sound like Grand Ole Opry cotton picker
Now before we end this filthy cut, we got a few things we have to say
To the home girls sprung on the hum drum beat, check out Sir Mix-A-Lot Ray
His style is fresh, so clean and new, he pulls so many tricks
If you give him ten bucks and a brand new tape, he'll put you in the mix
A haha, hey Mix-A-Lot I caught you that time, cotton picker

My hoopties rolling, tail pipe dragging,
heat don't work and my girl keeps naggin,
6 9 Buick, deuce keeps rolling, one hub cap cause 3 got stolen.

Bumper shook lose, chrome keeps scraping
mis-matched tires and my white walls flaken.

\not bad from memory
\\love sir mix-a-lot, I wore that tape out
\\\My testorosa

I'm rather partial to using "whose," myself.
