Rap on the knuckles
Although my own posterior wouldn't earn me a ride in Sir Mix-a-Lot's Mercedes, I dig his rap classic, "Baby Got Back." This is old news on the 'net by now, but only yesterday I learned that, in the grand tradition of Whitey stealin' from the Black Man, unemployed genius Jonathan Coulton has given the world this Baby Got Back cover. Reading Coulton's listener comments led me to a few other gems, such as this Yes/Mix-a-Lot mashup Owner of a Lovely Butt, and (an L.A. face if there ever was one) Nina Gordon's folksy Straight Outta Compton.
Comments:
Nina, that is so much fun! And thanks for putting me onto a new site (JC's). By the way, I saw your artwork on http://www.smscountry.com/services.asp - it is yours isn't it?
Best,
Vasu
