You've probably heard the song
Baby Got Back by
Sir Mix-a-Lot. A song about a bodypart, its size - and its effect on homies. Hot 100 Billboard Chart nr. 1 for 5 weeks in 1992... Sir Mix-a-Lot hasn't come close to his one hit wonder since...
But lying in bed with my Ipod on song-shuffle - I heard
Jonathan Coulton's version. I thought,
what a nice song - the lyrics are a strange, but cool in a way. Today I discovered what the original was like,
uh - now that is blatant sexism! Why wasn't Coulton's version sexist in my ears?
