Baby Got Book
August 19th, 2006
Okay, this YouTube video probably won’t make sense unless you are familiar with evangelical subculture lingo and you also know Sir Mix-a-Lot’s “Baby Got Back.” I realize that may narrow it to a fairly small audience, but, well, you can always hope . . .
It’s particularly amusing to those of us who spend a lot of time comparing Bible translations.

hilarious… fortunately I cribbed for this video by watching Saved (staring Mandy Moore)

Yeah, watching Saved could help. I enjoyed Saved, but there were several key moments that revealed that the filmmakers didn’t know their topic of evangelical subculture as well as they should have . . . Still, it was funny. And Michael Stipe (R.E.M.) was involved, which guaranteed that I had to see it.
“Baby Got Book” didn’t strike any of those false notes, though. And that makes sense, since I’ve discovered that it was made by Intervarsity Christian Fellowship folks. I’m pleased to discover that Intervarsity has a sense of humor . . . something I wouldn’t have guessed from its dealings with icelimbo.
I can’t stop dancing around the house singing, “NIV with a ribbon bookmark!”

I’m sure there are lots of IV folks with great senses of humor around, though I did think the video was pretty painful, just because it’s not the style of parody that I like. But I know some really fun IV folks. I just had the poor fortune to work for one who decidedly had barely any humor or fun in him at all.

As someone who routinely performs “Baby Got Back” at Karaoke, I give this rendition two thumbs up. Its good to know that the classics never die…
