Few surprises for me about this whole deal:
1) Glee couldn't find a way to add any creative touches to the arrangement and actually make it their own. (They even included the duck!)
2) Glee doesn't acknowledge where they get their musical arrangements for cover songs
3) Through all of this, Sir Mix-A-Lot is the only one that really sees any money (as the writer)
“The words are the important thing. Don’t worry about tunes. Take a tune, sing high when they sing low, sing fast when they sing slow, and you’ve got a new tune.” — Woody Guthrie
- pygy_ 14y agoI've tried hard to find it, but I can't hear the duck. http://glee.wikia.com/wiki/Baby_Got_Back#Videos http://glee.wikia.com/wiki/Baby_Got_Back#Videos It appears at 2:40 in Coulton's version, and should appear at the same place in "Glee HD Full studio" version and at 1:19 in the "Full Performace". The last one made me cringe hard (first exposure to the show... yuck).
- glenra 14y agoThe first time the internet got upset about this was when the Glee version of the song got posted to various sites (including iTunes) in advance of the show being broadcast. That FIRST version of the song included the duck sound and the line "Johnny C's in trouble". Lots of people noticed it and blogged about it and as a result, the network appears to have done a quick editing job to delete those exact elements from the version that broadcast - they left off one whole verse to do it.
