OK! Third installment of 'Covers vs Originals' and another embarrassing confession: I like big butts! More accurately I love the song 'Baby Got Back' by Sir Mix-A-Lot.

What song is your guilty pleasure?
Wheeeere do you come up with this stuff? Although I kinda think the original is fun, the couple in the end sure did make give me a chuckle. I also thought 'The Bible' version was pretty original. Very interesting stuff Marnie. Bah Humbug indeed! ;-) As for guilty pleasures.........sorry t'is a secret....
