Sir Mix-A-Lot Performs ‘Baby Got Back’ with Seattle Symphony

Baby got... strings? Prepare yourselves for the most ridiculous, yet hysterical, video you may ever watch.

It seems like an odd match, famed booty-lover Sir Mix-A-Lot and the Seattle Symphony, but the two got together this past weekend for quite an entertaining show. In the process, they delivered a performance of the rapper's hit "Baby Got Back" to a roaring crowd.

It was reported that Sir Mix-A-Lot was in attendance at the Seattle Symphony's "Sonic Evolution" series, where he was asked to participate. And naturally, you can't have a Sir Mix-A-Lot show without that infamous single.

"Since tonight is 'orchestral tunes from the hood night'," he told the crowd, "We're going to try a little something you've probably never heard before."

After inviting a number of ladies to the stage, the one-hit-wonder kicked off his famed "Baby Got Back" while being "backed" by the Seattle Symphony. The stage grew packed with not only the musicians, but also a large number of female volunteers who appeared to have no problem "shaking those healthy butts," to paraphrase the tune.

Think the crowd was shy? Nope, you'd be wrong. Luckily, there's footage to prove it! Check out the video below... and try to refrain from dancing. Actually, don't

Sir Mix-A-Lot dropped the number-one hit back in 1992 on the album Mack Daddy. It went on to go double platinum and win the 1993 Grammy Award for Best Rap Solo Performance.

For nostalgia purposes, why not watch the original "Baby Got Back" video?
