Two years ago, for the fun of it, I wrote new literary lyrics to Sir Mix-a-lot's classic "Baby Got Back": a filk entitled "Baby Got Book," rapped by a narrator who only makes passes at girls who wear glasses (and are probably librarians to boot). Anyway, agent Janet Reid mentioned it on Twitter last week, and as a result, Gale Martin made it into this hilarious and highly enjoyable music video. Thanks, Gale!

Shucks! You liked it--you really liked it. As with so many of us popular artistes, without someone else's fine words to pour forth, we'd be slobbering into our oversized, multi-directional microphones.

My, my, my. Sir Mix-A-Lot must be having a fit over this rendition. It's clever and funny though.
ReplyDeleteLoved the nod to the "Indie" book stores:)
