Mortal Kombat 1: Rhythm Studio - Men Got Back In this parody of Sir Mix-a-Lot’s “Baby Got Back”, First Constable of Sun Do, Li Mei spits out a similar ode to men/boys and how a man's butt and hips rival a woman's curves. As you may recall, "Baby Got Back" is a song written, co-produced and recorded by American rapper and songwriter Sir Mix-a-Lot. Released in May 1992 by Def American and Reprise as the second single from his third album, Mack Daddy, the song samples the 1986 Detroit techno single "Technicolor" by Channel One. At the time of its original release, the song caused controversy because of its outspoken and blatantly sexual lyrics objectifying women, as well as specific and obvious references to the buttocks, which some people found objectionable. The song's accompanying music video was temporarily banned by MTV. Sir Mix-a-Lot defended the song as being empowering to curvaceous women who were being shown skinny models as an ideal for beauty. "Baby Got Back" topped the US Billboard Hot 100 and spent five weeks atop the chart. It was the second best-selling song in the US in 1992. The song was ranked number 17 on VH1's "100 Greatest Songs of Hip Hop" in 2008. In October 2023, Billboard ranked it among the 500 Best Pop Songs of All Time." Because of this, Li Mei wanted to honor this song via parodying and influencing the empowering rhythm of Sir Mix-a-Lot's song. Along with that, Sun Do's First Constable spits out a similar ode to men via exploiting them. Furthermore, this parody shows that women aren't the only ones with nice curves and big buttocks. Synopsis In the song's prelude, there is a conversation between two men, similar to girl talk in Frank Zappa's "Valley Girl". The man on the left gasps in shock and remarks to his friend, "Look at his butt! That is so gross... He must be one of those Constable's boyfriends!", at which point Li Mei begins rapping. The first verse begins with "I like big booties and I cannot lie" and most of the song is about the Constable's attraction to men with large buttocks. The third verse challenges mainstream norms of beauty: "So your ex-wife eats a salad, looking like bones, you've had it!" and "So a lady says you're fat. Well I'm not down with that!" The song came from a meeting between Li Mei and Sir Mix-a-Lot, who saw little representation of full-figured women in media. The idea came from Sir Mix-a-Lot's original Baby Got Back video. They decided to dedicate a song to the opposite, featuring curvy men. Mix and Mei then sought to "broaden the definition of beauty." Li Mei commented in a 1992 interview: "Sir Mix-a-Lot's song doesn't just say I like large butts, you know? The song is talking about women who damn near kill themselves to try to look like these beanpole models that you see in Vogue magazine." She explains that most women respond positively to the song's message, especially men: "They all say, 'About time.'" And now, without further ado, here is the music parody you have all been waiting for. Enjoy! Lyrics (Spoken Intro) [MAN] *shocked gasp* Look at his butt! That is so gross! It's so...
