"Baby Got Back:" Sir Mix-A-Lot with the Seattle Symphony

[@ThexDynastxQueen]

The lady in black danced like she was waiting for this moment since 1992. Too cute.

[@playboyx85]

You can tell that woman in the black dress has been waiting for this situation her entire life.

[@BillsPodcast]

Baby Got Bach!

[@pippalapipes]

The girl in the black was like, "Shit, this is my moment."

[@JJohnson1]

She has moments like that *all the time*.

[@danbennett1005]

***** You know that she does.

[@JJohnson1]

Dan Bennett I wanna hang out with her. And then maybe buy her a house. THAT is the KIND.

[@phxhendog25]

The girl in the black dress was the best backup dancer ever! He needs to take her on tour!

[@Melkology]

I was in the crowd, that lady up there is my friends mom I shit you not. I am amazed at how popular this has gotten holy crap.

[@QuatMan]

That conductor is a BOSS!

[@TABULOUS1]

the chick in the black dress went *INNNNN* And the composer wasn't so shabby either.

[@thoughtbeast]

The woman in black and the library glasses was the best. She was really into it.

[@huladiver]

Such an amazing night. I'm in the striped dress. Grew up in Seattle on Mix-a-Lot and this night was pure awesome. He killed it. So did Pickwick who played as well!

[@Mrneal0216]

If you grew up in the 80's and the 90's you have no choice but to love this

[@cc_chapman]

I'll be honest that I never thought I'd see a symphony performing Baby Got Back. There goes my morning.

[@StudioAnnLe]

The Seattle Symphony and.....Sir Mix A lot? Lawd have mercy.

[@JTLVideo]

Who is the chic in black. She is the definition of "Oh this my JAM!!!!!"

[@egg.on.the.internet]

Lady in the black dress and glasses killing it XD

[@The1kenyette]

The lead cellist in the shades, was killing the pizzicato.... I love a nice symphony, but LOVE fusion and merging musical genres. The symphony house will never be the same.

[@GMPNY]

That's Shawn Bounds dancing in the black dress! The girl's got skills. What a great time had by all and NO, Shawn was not a plant... just your average beautiful "Baby Got Back" Fan! Well done sister! LOVED IT!

[@jakewolf-saxon9742]

My grandma was there, she said it was delightful.

[@beglebite]

honestly, i give huge props to the symphony for pullin that off

[@MuzikJunky]

I maintain that orchestrating hip-hop music is the best way to get kids into the symphony hall. Peace.

[@rulookinatme2]

I swear that chica in the black dress has been waiting her ENTIRE life for this very moment. HA and I loved every part of it!

[@ninasmith1965]

This was so funny! The girl in the black dress was getting her baby got back dance on! I loved seeing these girls just having a good time...no judgement, just good times.

[@mequetrefe413]

Whoever said symphony orchestra cannot do contemporary music like metal or hip hop, take a good look. I love this!!

[@stephencherry1387]

The lady in the black dress and glasses dancing in the front looks GORGEOUS!!!!

[@vincijuju]

I'm loving the conductor ... especially at 5:22 :)

[@mod8076]

OMG, the woman who got snatched by her friend at 5:52...I was dying laughing, lol. I guess friends don't let friends back it up on Sir Mix-A-Lot, LMAO!!! She snatched the crap out of her, hahahaha!

[@misscool1987]

Why is everyone so 'oh my gosh' over this? It's fun and adorable and if you were there you'd be singing it too.

[@4444jonn]

Them nerdy girls are the FREAKIEST of them all!!!

[@MadameMao]

My mother was dancing to this. This made my day.

[@duhg599]

The sexiest thing about the woman in the black dress is how much fun she's having.

[@loveyoubabe444]

I have no ass, but whenever this song comes on I rock it and pretend like I have BACK! Love you Sir MixA Lot! Mwha!

[@Pimpczar2011]

Congradulations Sir-Mix-A-Lot if anyone deserves such an honor it's this legendary rapper.

[@NickyJett]

"Orchestral Movements from the Hood Night" I.Can't... :) Awesome!

[@majellandevin6250]

40 piece string sections....... Booty shaking baby boombers..... Old folks in Elegant dress...... And SIR MIX-ALOT. Ahh, my life is finally complete.

[@MusicIndustryLawyer]

This was AWESOME! Props to the orchestra and conductor for doing a great job with this song, to Sir-Mix-a-Lot for performing this song as well as when he first released it, and to all those awesome women dancing their hearts out!

[@FishDawg]

I distinctly remember this song bringing out the wild side of many girls at my high school junior prom. It made a big impression on me.

[@JoMelv]

Well done!!! Loved it!!!! Props to babygirl In the black dress for doing her thing

[@MrElkslayer7]

Nothing sexier than a bunch of girls shaking there gifts on stage to a classic like that one!!!!!! Black dress girl rocked that stage!!!!!!!!!!! Hooooowl

[@tamikamclester8118]

This is ABSOLUTELY BRILLIANT!! Great way to invite a more diverse audience to the symphony! GREAT JOB SEATTLE!! It's amazing how music bridges the divide! This was FANTASTIC!!!

[@thecoolstuff99]

This is the most epic symphony performance I've ever seen. I laughed the whole way through!

[@jongroubert4203]

Holy shit! I can't believe that many women would get up on stage in front of everyone for this. Go Seattle!

[@charliej766]

This was AWESOME! The woman in the black dress is killing it!!!

[@FireflyShift]

Ya know.. I was real cranky this morning... til I saw this. It made my morning by far. Lol. That lady in the black dress was gettin it. This was fantastic, definitely made me smile and laugh.

[@kerrilynch2052]

By the way, don't be embarrassed for Seattle. We rock in so many ways including the Symphony, Grunge, and Coffee!

[@NeverSaySandwich1]

Orchestrated rap and rock is always awesome!

[@jeffblackwood9837]

I love it when the girl at 5:50 gets pulled back by her friends.....

[@synetrics]

That was her daughter! ;)

[@ShelliKittens]

I had to watch this a few times to take it all in! I enjoyed watching Ludovic Morlot conduct this orchestra and man was he having fun. One of the violinists was bumpin' in her chair when she wasn't playing. I'm surprised by how many of the women know the words. This song is a song from the 80's haha.. Okay, a few are clearly women _from_ the 80's. .... just goes to show when something really fun comes along and the beat is just right, not to mention the content being so risque, it never loses its appeal. Some of the women were just downright hilarious to watch. Very fun.

[@mikebeck9899]

The genius of Sir Mix-A-Lot all over again.

[@morenag.7769]

I ❤️it!!!! That's great!!! Hands down to you Sir Mix A lot!!! & as for all the ladies.... I applaud you all! Especially home girl w/the black dress! She had it down pat! & worked it too! 😉😊

[@angelacain5303]

It's awesome to see that Sir-Mix-A-Lot still can get down after all these years.

[@Elthenar]

Greatest rap song ever recorded.

[@lapitamai7663]

Music knows no boundaries!!!!!

[@MattStormsSEO]

I need to go to the Symphony more. This is AWESOME. Baby got back!

[@BlackKnightrlsh]

The lady w/ the glasses and black dress has got it goin' on!

[@FriendlyPitbull1]

Man made millions just making women feel good about their body image! DO YOU GUYS GET THAT!?

[@PsychoGolazo]

The woman in the black dress around the intro of the song was really into it.

[@jimbrooks3370]

This could quite possibly be the best video ever made! I've watched it five times straight and I still can't stop laughing!

[@ivechang6720]

Oh my words cannot express how much fun it was just to watch! Seattle's got STYLE. Lots of love to all the people who know how to have fun (and even those who don't but wish they did) ♡ive

[@lenorebryant6124]

I loved it love the Lady in BLACK!

[@WkUpPeople]

Okay, how funky is the Seattle SYMPHONY? I loved this video.

[@pan0ptica]

Omg, Sir Mix-a-lot and the Seattle Symphony?! I love it and damn, woman in the black dress sure was having alot of fun that night, plant or not. I think no. :)

[@sniper52100]

One of the greats remains one of the greats. He still can get everyone in a massive building to sing his song. Brilliant.

[@dawnwelch6579]

Both these songs they did - what joyous fun! I would've loved to have been there! I did get to meet him in the spring of 1989; one of the nicest straight-up guys ever!

[@DocFarmer]

My FAVORITE symphonic "movement"!!!

[@sassyrojo]

My childhood has meaning again. SWEET.

[@pagmann7412]

These women were having fun. What is wrong with that? Loosen up people! If some people in the orchestra looked uncomfortable, it's okay. Have fun, smile, and laugh your ass off!

[@kokocooper7442]

Seattle Symphony, I probably will never get to actually hear you play in person, but please add me to your donation list after this. You are awesome!

[@JustinMarlowe]

This makes me... so happy.

[@yetidynamics]

that was amazing lol, love it

[@FNBSSjohntruncali3297]

Wow this was so cool and goes to show you music pulls us together no matter your color or class!

[@dhard956]

The lady with the glasses is a really classy lady that knows how to get down when she wants to. I'm absolutely jelly of whoever she's with right now.

[@ScottSimpson]

This gave me goosebumps. Well done, Sir.

[@flexor212000]

Am I the only one that apprecated Mix's work before this "hit"? His work with Kid Sensation. Seminar was his best!

[@jdfrankland1745]

Benaroya Hall will never be the same again.

[@terrencebrown9902]

Ol Girl in Black was KILLING IT!

[@bigpoppa1023]

The chick in black does it for me. She knew the words too!! SO DAMN FUNNY!!!!

[@jrod8807]

The first thing I hoped to happen this morning is for a symphony to play a song that will get me going like a cup of coffee. Well here it goes.

[@darrylmoore5712]

WOW! This shows how far Hip-Hop has come!!! Hate it or Love it, but you can't deny it!!!

[@betsyrocks]

I love orchestral music.

[@chameleon1630]

[@Nica-Ra-Wata]

Now that is what I call classical music...

[@theoabdellah2116]

Hell yeah, I'm moving to Seattle. Gotta be the coolest place in America. LoL

[@JoMelv]

This is a one of a kind show!!!! looked at it a couple of more time. Good stuff!!!!

[@TheMorriganAensland]

What I find the most hilarious, is the one white girl in the more conservative dress, goes a LOT more wild AND knows all the Dance Moves to the song, than the black ladies!! Seattle Symphony & Six Mix-a-Lot you guys rocked that house and brought it down!! This was an awesome Nostalgia Trip, considering this is one of the few rap songs I will actually listen and love

[@kevg715]

LOL @ the guy on the side taking a cell phone video of it all at 4:54

[@Lexi2482]

Omg this put a smile on my face. .. Enjoy

[@kchiem]

The girl in the black dress at the front is awesome!

[@JosephWinemanDMD]

One of my all time favorite songs but with orchestral arrangement and of course audience participation--some people are just born to be exhibitionists...you know what I mean

[@MarioAjero]

HA! "Orchestral movements from the hood night"

[@EdwardOwen]

Symphony for the common man! GREAT stuff!

[@jaye97s]
