Madness in the Spring

Spring teeters on the cusp of summer here in the Northern Hemisphere, and — along with most other species who reproduce sexually — we naked apes have only one thing on our mind...

BOOTIE CALL!

Rationalize or intellectualize it all you want. Even Emily Dickinson contemplated flows of chemical currents from the relative safety of her Amherst garret:

"A little madness in the spring
is wholesome even for the King.
But God be with the Clown —
who ponders this tremendous scene —
this whole experiment of green —
as if it were his own!"

— Emily Dickinson

Frolicsome sexual exuberance extends right across the pond, to the UK. Not ten minutes ago, my trans-atlantic co-conspirator in musical mayhem (the immortal "G") landed this delicious ditty in my email — Sir Mixalot's 1992 hip-hop classic Baby Got Back. Transmogrified by Jonathan Coulton.

...as performed by G, himself.

Baby Got Back (G's) MP3

"I like big butts and I can not lie
you other brothers can't deny
girl walks in with an itty bitty waist
and a round thing in your face
you get sprung

you want to pull out tough
you've seen that that butt is stuffed
into the jeans she's wearing
you're cooked and you can't stop staring

oh, I wanna get wit' ya
take your pretty picture
my homeboys tried to warn me
but that butt you got makes me so horny

mmm, baby got back
mmm, baby got back"

— Sir Mixalot

If we are referencing superior derrieres, there is one last penultimate stop before leaving our world on a quest for erotic aliens: Hot Dancing to Art Bell Song...(video)...

EDITOR'S NOTE: For those of you out of the loop, Art Bell is founder of Coast to Coast AM, a late-night radio show broadcasting paranormal explorations from far out in the Nevada desert.

...this female absolutely channels Sybill Trelawney straight into the beyond. A mating dance energetic enough for the combined legends of Robert Plant & David Lee Roth. Her pelvic disarticulation is mesmerizing.

As I've said, it's Spring. Stand back.

  • I won't denigrate assembly lines — they build for the masses. I don't. This is something very different.

    If your music is art, if your vision is unique, I will shape the wood, bend the metal, solder the connections to give you the tool to let your beast run wild.
