The Most Over-played Song of All Time

"Baby Got Back" by Sir Mix-a-Lot...

I hate this song. I think it came out when I was twelve years old and I don't think I've gone a week since 1992 without hearing that damn song. Radio stations insist on playing it at least once a day and it is still being played at the bars and clubs like some kind of mantra.

Girls will occasionally get out and shake their asses to the song, but come on...at some point the song gets a little ridiculous. It's about a man loving a woman with a giant ass. Which is all fine and good but I think it's gotten to the point where the song has become the "Big Ass Anthem."

Perhaps if the song was played on a less frequent basis, it would still hold some of the nostalgia and fond memories that it once did. Like Young MC. But the song is played so much that my mother actually knows the words. And it's disturbing to see a 58-year old woman is rapping "My anaconda don't want none unless you got buns, hon!"

And, truth be told...I can't tell if one should actually be offended by the song. For example, while the song is all about loving "back" when it's played in the dance clubs and someone actually goes out to dance to it, are you showing off your assets or admitting you have a giant butt?

While having junk in the trunk is the equivalent of the large breast movement for the new millenium, "Baby Got Back" does not appreciate the ass and talk about it with all the respect it's owed. The song talks about how a guy won't sleep with a woman who's butt isn't stuffed.

So, to the radio stations and DJs playing this song...stop, for the love...it's kind of offensive and fifteen years old. Put it on the shelf and let it collect dust for a while.
