In 1992 Sir Mix-a-Lot's single "Baby Got Back" was a number-one hit that went double platinum and won the 1993 Grammy Award for Best Rap Solo Performance. MTV aired the video for "Baby Got Back," but only during the evening hours because of its supposed sexual nature.
Within the past couple weeks this Burger King commercial aired during day-time T.V. featuring a different version of the same song.
Friday morning the Today show discussed the controversy behind this commercial. What was once only allowed to be shown in the late evening is now featured in the middle of the day with the popular Nickelodeon cartoon character, SpongeBob.
"Baby Got Back" was such a popular song in it's time, and it still is very well-known. It has been 17 years since it was originally written, and there are continually remakes being made.
Media always continues to reinvent itself.
