"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.

[@QuatMan]

That conductor is a BOSS!

[@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.

[@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!

[@playboyx85]

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

[@phxhendog25]

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

[@TABULOUS1]

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

[@beglebite]

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

[@Mrneal0216]

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

[@MuzikJunky]

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

[@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.

[@cc_chapman]

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

[@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.

[@vincijuju]

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

[@Pimpczar2011]

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

[@thoughtbeast]

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

[@MadameMao]

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

[@NeverSaySandwich1]

Orchestrated rap and rock is always awesome!

[@egg.on.the.internet]

Lady in the black dress and glasses killing it XD

[@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!

[@StudioAnnLe]

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

[@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!

[@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! 😉😊

[@JoMelv]

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

[@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!!!!

[@MattStormsSEO]

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

[@BillsPodcast]

Baby Got Bach!

[@angelacain5303]

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

[@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.

[@lapitamai7663]

Music knows no boundaries!!!!!

[@charliej766]

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

[@Elthenar]

Greatest rap song ever recorded.

[@Christine_990]

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.

[@DocFarmer]

My FAVORITE symphonic "movement"!!!

[@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.

[@lenorebryant6124]

I loved it love the Lady in BLACK!

[@JTLVideo]

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

[@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.

[@NickyJett]

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

[@jakewolf-saxon9742]

My grandma was there, she said it was delightful.

[@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.

[@JustinMarlowe]

This makes me... so happy.

[@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!

[@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!

[@sniper52100]

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

[@mikebeck9899]

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

[@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!

[@4444jonn]

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

[@duhg599]

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

[@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!

[@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

[@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!

[@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

[@bobbyseiler4312]

[@beastmodekingdaddy22]

[@PsychoGolazo]

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

[@jaye97s]
