Sir Mix-A-Lot sings Baby Got Back with Seattle Symphony orchestra

"I like big butts and I cannot lie, You other brothers can't deny." Sir Mix-A-Lot 's hip-hop classic 'Baby Got Back' from 1992 has aged like a fine wine over the last 22 years.

However, it may have just been taken to the next level thanks to a performance teaming up Sir Mix with the Seattle Symphony.




We've heard lots of versions of the track down the years, but this is the first time we've seen it performed with cellos and violins.


Sir Mix isn't short of a few female supporters in the audience, who are more than willing to recreate some of the booty-shaking moves from the original video.

The duet between the orchestra and the rap star was part of Sonic Evolution, an event designed to bridge a gap between Seattle Symphony and Seattle's musical heritage.

It may have been a brilliant performance of the track, but for us the definitive version of the song will always be the rendition from Ross and Rachel in Friends below:
