Baby got remixed.

In April, the Seattle Symphony threatened to remake the 1992 classic "Baby Got Back." Now, it's finally happened. "I don't touch," shouted Sir Mix-A-Lot, a.k.a. Anthony Ray, who was on hand to orchestrate the viral video-making performance. He added: "We will not bite unless you want to."

He also called a bunch of symphony-going ladies on stage to shake their booties for the crowd (and the internet). See if you can make it through the seven-minute performance without cringing. --Jordan Valinsky
