Thing a Week 5 - Baby Got Back
This week is a cover of Baby Got Back by Sir Mix-a-Lot (note: he is not an actual knight). Had to activate the whole team for this one - guitar, mandolin, banjo and even some shakers and tambourines and other things lying around the house. I’ve wanted to cover this song for a long time, because it is excellent - there’s a wonderful message in there for those of you who have big butts. In the proud tradition of many white Americans who came before me I hereby steal and white-ify this thick and juicy piece of black culture. Watch for my album “Jonathan Coulton Sings Songs by Black People.”

Oh, and don’t forget to vote for your favorite Shop Vac solo over there on the right. UPDATE: New plan! New plan! I forgot I said you could submit through this weekend. So we’ll stop the voting and continue on Monday once I have all the entries.
October 14th, 2005 at 8:50 am
HOLY CRAP that’s so good.
October 14th, 2005 at 9:25 am
Wow. That has to be the best hip-hop cover I think I’ve ever heard
October 14th, 2005 at 10:06 am
Hey, I thought we had until the weekend (I assumed the coming weekend) to submit solos! I may not get a chance, but I was hoping to put something together Saturday.
Not having heard the original of ‘Baby Got Back’, I can’t comment on how good a cover it is, but I love your version for its own sake.
October 14th, 2005 at 10:12 am
Mr. Curious: you’re right, I did say that. OK then, no voting now, we’ll wait till Monday to post it so you and anyone else has time to submit (and the early birds won’t get a lot of extra votes just for sitting around.
October 14th, 2005 at 10:22 am
I love folk/country covers of rap songs. This may be the best since Phish did “Gin and Juice.” Okay, it is better. There is said it. Jonathan Coulton is better than Phish.
You are the man!
October 14th, 2005 at 10:36 am
JC, how do you do it? You’ve managed to capture a “lazy summer road trip, windows rolled down” feel while singing about bottoms and fornication. I can picture the video already…
I’d like to request a JC cover of “Milkshake” by Kelis if you’re up for more…
here are the lyrics: http://www.songlyrics.com/song-lyrics/Kelis/Miscellaneous/milkshake/241569.html
October 14th, 2005 at 11:46 am
OMG - that is so freakin awesome! Great job, Jonathan!
sue lew - Chance did an AWESOME cover of Milkshake - it’s HARD ROCK and rockin! Details here:

I like the duck cameo. Very nice.
October 14th, 2005 at 1:20 pm
Right up there with Bills, Bills, Bills, JC — very creative, very funny.
As of this evening, I can personally guarantee at least seven more people will hear this song (but unfortunately that won’t add to your total listenership, as the peeps with whom I hang have already been turned on to Skullcrusher Mountain).
October 14th, 2005 at 1:56 pm
I’m looking forward to the release of that album.
October 14th, 2005 at 4:47 pm
BEAUTIFUL. I’ve listened to it about five or six times since lunch.
October 14th, 2005 at 5:47 pm
Have you heard the mashup “Owner of a Lonely Butt”? It mixes, appropriately enough, “Baby Got Back” with “Owner of a Lonely Heart.” Must be heard to be believed…
October 14th, 2005 at 6:34 pm

A couple weeks back, Nina Gordon’s cover of NWA’s Straight Outta Compton got promoted to my ‘Getting Things Done’ smart playlist.

October 15th, 2005 at 7:38 am
Me again. I just remembered another alarming “Baby Got Back” cover — Richard Cheese. Done sleazy lounge-singer style. Also a thing of beauty, though I think yours stands up to it beautifully…

Baby Got Back cover
Jonathan Coulton has released an amazing cover of Sir Mix-a-lot’s Baby Got Back. Hearing an average white guy crooning lines like “my home boys tried to warn me” is flat-out hilarious.
While there, make sure you check out W’s Duty also and grab…

This cover song is fantastic. Earlier this year I have hosted a video by Dan Smith called “Baby Got Book”.

ye GODS, man!
You definitely just climbed to the top of the folk-rap cover heap.
It’s a small heap, but a good one. This will bear repeating.

This is the greatest thing I’ve ever heard. Bravo.
October 15th, 2005 at 10:52 am
[...] A bit of surfing turned up these little gems Jonathan Coulton has posted an alt.country version of Baby Got Back (originally released by rapper Sir Mix-a-Lot). I swung by and gave it a listen. It really is quite cool indeed, it really works without sounding too ridiculous. Well, it does soud a little Momty Pythonin places, this is a complement though. But he doesn’t stop there, the site is now on must read every week list as there is a whole buch of musical delights to choose from. Check it out, this guy has got some great musical ideas. [...]
October 15th, 2005 at 10:54 am
Good cover, but I much prefer the lounge version performed by Richard Cheese.
October 15th, 2005 at 10:57 am
It was great.
October 15th, 2005 at 10:58 am
I had orgasms listening to it!
October 15th, 2005 at 11:12 am
Regarding “Gin & Juice” (which is awesome): http://www.phish.net/faq/ginandjuice.html Not Phish (hooray for p2p networks mislabeling something, then propgating it!).
But this is awesome, and not Phish too.
There’s also Nina Gordon’s recent-ish version of “Straight Outta Compton” http://www.ninagordon.com/audio/straightouttacompton.mp3
October 15th, 2005 at 11:16 am
That mash-up is actually called “Owner of a Lovely Butt” (but yes, it is totally awesome; right up there with “Owner of a Sex Bomb”, featuring Tom Jones).
Tracy Bonham did a killer cover of “Milkshake” at Summerstage this year, and I’m dying for a live MP3 of it. But a JC version would be a good consolation prize.

NWA actually does a delightful honky-tonk inspired number known as “Automobile”. Possibly the crudest song I’ve ever heard in my life, but a helluva lottta fun, and a nice down-home country feel.

Excellent work.
And a note: The Gin and Juice cover that everyone attributes to Phish (or even Dave Matthews, for some unknown reason) is actually by a little known band called The Gourds.
October 15th, 2005 at 12:41 pm
Phish didn’t do a Gin and Juice cover, moron. That was by the “Gourds.” Phish lack the talent to do something of that caliber.

The John Denver/Freddy Mercury overtones make this one cool enough, but THE FUNNIEST rap cover EVER was a few years ago — “Gin & Juice” again (pre-Gourds, I think) but read as inspirational-style poetry by a silky-voiced radio announcer … complete with ocean wave sounds in the background. It was a million times more wicked than the original! Unfortunately, it was also a .swf, so there was no metadata, and now I’ve lost the file! Anyone know the name of that unknown genius, or have a link to the file?

This song is AWESOME.
I’ve one question about the introduction “hey face with the oakland booty” that’s played later in the song. What’s that harmony? It sounds amazing.
October 16th, 2005 at 1:42 pm
I found this song yesterday and was absolutely blown away by it. Since then, I’ve been listening to some of your other music and I have to admit that I’m hooked. Keep up the great work. Hope to see more good stuff like this in the future.

Regarding chords, the verses seem to be:
I [C] like big butts and I [F] cannot lie
you [C] other brothers [F] can’t deny
when a [Dm] girl walks in with an itty bitty waist
and a [G] round thing in your face
…
Oh [Em] babe, I wanna get wi’cha
and [Am] take your pretty picture
My [F] home boys tried to warn me,
but that [G] butt you got makes me so horny
That’s all I can figure out for now.

The spoken-word version of Gin & Juice is available on p2p, just search for “gin juice spoken word”. It’s by Jack Handy apparently, and it may have been a B-side from Dre’s label itself.

October 17th, 2005 at 6:20 am
Loraan has the chords right. And in the chorus it’s just Am Em F G. As for the harmony, um, I don’t know, just some notes I made up and sang. It’s actually “LA face with the Oakland booty” and there are three parts, one of them very low and necessarily very breathy and growly.
How come nobody has mentioned “Bitches Ain’t Shit” as covered by Ben Folds?
October 17th, 2005 at 6:20 am
Actually, for a great cover of Gin and Juice as well as some other Hip Hop and metal classics you should google up Hayseed Dixie. Bluegrasas at it’s finest, inspired by the muses of our times
As for this , I was crying it was so good. Finally a rendition of this classic which the WB could squeeze into a “very special One Tree Hill”
October 17th, 2005 at 6:35 am
This is genius!! You may get famous with this, dude.
October 17th, 2005 at 8:29 am
Mister Skippy, you nailed it! If it weren’t for the copyright snafu, I could actually see a show like Scrubs using this in a dream sequence. You know, right towards the end of the episode as the moral approaches.

hey they played your version of Baby got Back on KTCK “The Ticket” in Dallas this morning. It is a sports talk radio station but, they talk about all kinds of non sports related things as well. It is very popular with guys in Dallas. http://www.theticket.com Gordon Keith is the “non-sporty/comedy” guy in the morning and also writes for the Dallas Morning news and was the former host of The Mark Cuban TV Show (dallas mavericks owner) and worked for the local CBS affiliate as well.

ahhhh, it’s like a koala crapped a rainbow in my brain….look, try making up your own lyrics buddy, filling in your cheesy song with rap lyrics that you know white people will recognize is old news. how about ice ice baby? thong song? nothin but a g thang? gin and juice? oh wait, that ones done. better hurry and grab the other ones before someone else does. It’s all so they can gain popularity for a song that’s otherwise lacking…

Tommy York, regarding the “LA Face with the Oakland Booty” harmony, I think I’ve got it sorted out:
Top Voice: A A C A-A B A B A
Middle Voice: E E A E-E E E E-G F
Bottom Voice: A A C A A E E E F (octave down from top / middle)
I’m not totally sure about the bottom voicing on the third beat, the word “face,” where I have a C. Maybe JC can step in and correct me if I’m wrong.
Man, I’ve been a fan ever since Skullcrusher Mountain tore its way through my peer group like a bad case of scabies. This feels a little like correcting Moses’ spelling.
October 18th, 2005 at 4:14 pm
wow…that was really cool… i’m kinda a fan of the original… but this was ok… as for constructive criticizm goes… kinda long… it does the same thing over and over again… i know that the original does that too.. just that the original is like 2 minutes long… yours is like 5… otherwise… nice job.. i would have never thought to do that.

Has anyone ever heard of “Notorious MSG”? A Chinese rap band that specialized in making parody videos of well known rap songs?
http://www.tian.cc/2004/10/notorious-msg-straight-out-of-canton.html
they even made a member’s “death” to be Notorious B.I.G.-like. To complete the parody, I made a tribute video feat. Puffy Daddy’s “I’ll Be Missing You”.

WoW,
That was good! Have you ever considered doing a cover of Bling Bling by Cash Money Millionaires? I would love to hear it.
I mess around and write a few songs. I cant sing good , but you could re-do them and come out with an original album. When you hit the big time we could both retire and not have “real ” jobs. We might even need a $50,000 pinky ring.
Peace out homey,

The cover that circulates on the net of “Gin & Juice” almost always credited to either Ween or Phish is neither. It’s “The Gourds”.

Brilliant…. there’s nothing more to say.

You know, at first I downloaded this song as a novelty thingy. But the more I listen to it, the more I like for its own merits.

October 20th, 2005 at 6:05 pm
It’s all been said. This is a great cover, and I love songs that yo can actually understand the words and their often hidden meanings. It’s actually a very clean song (or at least not as raunchy as others) and the tune makes it all worthwhile.
Do more, please
October 20th, 2005 at 6:06 pm
Okay, this will sound wierd, but could I get a copy of the music with the backing vocals only? I played this for a friend of mine who runs a karaoke show, and she “Triple-Dog-Dared me” to get on stage and sing this version at her show. Don’t have much to offer in return, but would be willing to video / audio tape the performance and send you a copy of it.
Great job - and I thought I was the only one out there with a completely wacked sense of musical humor.

The idea of this song is funny, but the music itself is excruciatingly horrible. If that was the goal, I guess you succeeded, but this 5 minute long musical joke drags on a little long. You should consider doing 5 minute long medleys of a number of songs - everyone gets the idea after about one minute. Refer to Weird Al Yankovich’s “Polka Your Eyes Out”.

Shane:
I’ve heard the version by Richard Cheese, and I agree - it’s extremely funny. This one is, too, though. They’re just funny in different ways. Cheese’ version sort of slaps you in the face while yelling “laugh, damn you!”, while this one sneaks up on you and stuffs the laugh down the back of your shirt around an ice cube when you least expect it.
That’s a good thing.

If I may ask - how are you handling the licensing issues for online distribution of a cover song?
You can do a statutory license and pay nine cents a pop (or so) for copies people actually buy, so that’s not too difficult.

[...] I myself encountered Coulton by way of Coverville, a podcast of nothing but cover songs, when they played his cover of Baby Got Back, though obviously I’m a big dork and enjoy his nerdy songs as well. My thought about this matter is this: the people who come to Coulton for their fix of DorkMusic aren’t going to be driven away by more standard pop, though it’s certainly possible they may consume it less. However that’s looking at the wrong half of the glass: some of them are going to consume that non-nerd pop and they wouldn’t have consumed it otherwise. [...]

Phish didn’t do a Gin and Juice cover, moron. That was by the “Gourds.” Phish lack the talent to do something of that caliber.

Excellent work.
And a note: The Gin and Juice cover that everyone attributes to Phish (or even Dave Matthews, for some unknown reason) is actually by a little known band called The Gourds.
