Author Topic: Baby Got Back - Performed by Six Mix-a-Lot and Seattle Symphony (Orchestra)  (Read 1038 times)

The other day, I was discussing how Glee had stolen Jonathan Coulton's cover of Baby Got Back. Turned out the individual was just young enough to have no idea what the song was. While getting examples, I decided to look up the song on Wikipedia - curious about any random facts - and stumbled upon this relatively recent event. As it turns out, the event was recorded and placed on Seattle Symphony's official YouTube channel, even. It was... interesting.

Here is the video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=w59e20ijOpE&t=2m41s (URL starts you RIGHT as he starts singing, but there's a bit before that)

As suggested, this is Baby Got Back, instrumental performed by Seattle Symphony with Sir Mix-a-Lot singing. He invited any women who wanted to onto the stage to dance during the performance. Pretty insane.


Should see if they'd do a studio version of this... :cookieMonster:

Professional symphony orchestras hate doing stuff like this. They like playing regular symphonic music, and the reason they have to do this is because they can't sustain an audience well enough to cover all the costs of the musicians and venue. So, they do this stuff as a way of making some extra cash once in awhile.

Very likely... But... lets not ruin the moment...
