Milady Got Back

[ellenkushner]

pegkerr told cynthia1960, who told badgerbag who told my Cousin Els who told me, and now I'm telling YOU:

Popular artist Sir Mix-a-Lot's baby got back has been newly translated into the (19th century) vernacular by . . . well, some lunatics on LJ.

Sticklers may quibble at some infelicities of historical accuracy . . . but I hope you'll all laugh as hard as I did!

You probably don't want to look at this one (http://www.livejournal.com/users/quislibet/164084.html), though.

Gracias! Veddy funny!

Surely you jest.

Thank you - this is just brilliant!

I'm not jesting...and don't call me Shirley!

I'm glad you found the Latin one, because I knew I'd read it and had no idea where.

[ellen-kushner.livejournal.com]

Indeed!

Oops! - just fixed it, above.

It's not exactly the same as the one filkerdave sends us to - longer, I think, and even funnier.

...thank you very much for that. I have not fallen out of my chair laughing in a very, very long time.

I count it as my greatest scholarly and literary achievement.

And I suspect you are not wrong, sir.
