#11 "Baby Got Back" by Sir Mix-A-Lot


Who would've ever thought that George Washington and a rapper could have anything in common? Our founding father famously could not tell a lie about chopping down his dad's cherry tree. Sir Mix-A-Lot can't tell a lie either. He likes big butts!

Sometimes life is just too serious. Sometimes people hold back and don't share their most genuine feelings. "Baby Got Back" is one of those great songs that just makes you laugh and is hysterically honest too. I mean... watch the video. The guy is rapping in front of a huge ass!?! What more do you want?

The intro to the song is great. I could probably just listen that to part and be done with it... it's that good. When the voice of the stereotypical white girl comes on and says, "Oh... my... God... Becky, look at her butt," it's fantastic! It cracks me up every time. And the best part of the lyrics once the rapping begins? When Mix-A-Lot throws out some ideal measurements "36, 24, 36" and then laughs, "... only if she's 5'3!" Too funny.

"Baby Got Back" can be found on the album "Mack Daddy." To hear the song, click on the icon in the widget jukebox along the side of the blog.
