The advent of time warp technology offered to Knights of the British Empire has allowed this uniquely satisfying look at Sirs Gilbert and Sullivan's re-envisioning of fellow Sir Mix-A-Lot's Baby Got Back. O! What a joy it is for us to hear these three titans working in concert for the first time, and hopefully not the last.
Score/Retro-editing: Mike Hightower
Add'l Vox: Jeanne Newman and Kendra (whose last name I don't know)

It took me hours to transcribe the lyrics and here they are so everyone can SING-A-LONG:
BABY GOT BACK
I like big butts and I cannot lie
all you other brothers can't deny
when a girl walks in with an itty bitty waist
And a round thing in your face
You get sprung, wanna pull out your tough
'Cause you notice that butt was stuffed
Deep in the jeans she's wearing
I'm hooked and I can't stop staring
Oh baby, I wanna get wit ya
And take your picture
My homeboys tried to warn me
But with that butt you got makes me feel so horny
Ooh, Rump-o'-smooth-skin
say you wanna get my Benz?
Well, use me, use me, use me
'Cause you ain't that average groupie
I've seen them dancin'
To hell with romancin'
She's sweat, wet,
like a turbo 'Vette
I'm tired of magazines
Sayin' flat butts are the thing
Take the average black man and ask him that
She’s gotta pack much more back
So, fellas! (Yeah!) Fellas! (Yeah!)
Has your girlfriend got the butt? (Hell yeah!)
shake it! (Shake it!) Shake it! (Shake it!)
Shake that healthy butt!
Back, Baby got back! X8
My anaconda don't want none
Unless you've got the buns, hun
You can do side bends or sit-ups,
But please don't please don’t lose that butt
I wanna get you home
And ugh, double-up, uh huh
ain't talkin' bout Playboy
'Cause silicone parts are made for toys
want 'em real thick and juicy
So find that juicy double
Mix-a-Lot's in trouble
Beggin' for a piece of that bubble
So Cosmo says you're fat
Well I ain't down with that!
'Cause your waist is small and your curves are kickin'
And I am thinkin' bout stickin'
Give me a sister, I can't resist her
beans and rice didn't miss her
A lot of simps won't like this song
But I'd rather stay and play
'Cause I am long, and I am strong
I'm down to get the friction on
So, ladies! (Yeah!) Ladies! (Yeah)
roll in my Mercedes (oh Yeah!)
turn around! Stick it out!
Even white boys got to shout
Back, Baby got back! [x8]
Well I do say when it comes to the fairer sex, the periodical Cosmopolitan has little to do with my selection.
36-24-36? Well perhaps if she were 5'3".
ladies, if your butt is round,
And you want a triple X throw down,
Dial 900-MIXALOT
And kick them nasty thoughts
so fellas (yeah), ladies (yeah)
roll in my mercedes (oh yeah)
shake it! (Shake it!) Shake it! (Shake it!)
Shake that healthy butt!
Back, Baby got back!
Baby got back!
Baby got back!
Baby got back! (repeat)
(Little in the middle but she got much back) [4x]
