7. “Big Bottom” by Spinal Tap (1984)
This song gets away with being so damn raunchy due to the use of the double entendre. It is a wholehearted celebration of the big butt, of having sex with the big butt, of big girls with big butts, etc.
Lyrical Highlight: “My baby fits me like a flesh tuxedo/ I’d like to sink her with my pink torpedo”
6. “Honky Tonk Badonkadonk” by Trace Adkins (2004)
The inspiration for this country tune was a wasted chick who didn’t care about who she hit with her butt. “It looked like somebody stuffed a beach ball in her pants” said co-writer and musician Jamey Johnson. “So we got to laughing at this girl — she was drunk as hell, just completely wasted, and having the time of her life. She didn’t care who was looking; she didn’t care who she bumped into.”
That’s the kind of drunk we should all aspire to be. Incredibly, the track’s ringtone received over 75,000 downloads and even warranted a European compilation album built around various mixes of the song.
Lyrical Highlight: “Got it goin’ on like Donkey Kong”
5. “Back That Azz Up” by Juvenile (1999)
This song is important for multiple reasons. First of all, “ass” is spelled as “azz,” and that is noteworthy in itself. Second of all, it’s been referenced and sampled and remade by artists like Snoop Dogg and Drake since it dropped at the end of the last millennium, and if it’s good enough for Snoop, it’s certainly good enough for the rest of us.
Lyrical Highlight: “Girl, you looks good, won’t you back that azz up/ You’se a fine motherfucker, won’t you back that azz up”
4. “Booty” by Jennifer Lopez ft. Iggy Azalea (2014)
Again, “important” is a subjective term, especially in a list like this. But I think we can all agree that Jennifer Lopez and Iggy Azalea rubbing their well-oiled butts against each other is IMPORTANT. The track itself is not very good, but watching a 45-year-old J.Lo’s body still CRUSH IT all over the place is a sight that will never get old.
Lyrical Highlight: “You’re sexy/ But most of all/ You are just absolutely booty-full” (lol)
3. “Tush” by Ghostface Killah ft. Missy Elliot (2004)
Anything involving Missy Elliot is important, and anything that has to be this heavily censored for radio play (they changed “Tush” to “Push” (!!!!)) has GOT to be important too, just by its very nature. A lot of people were disappointed at Ghostface’s push into what they felt was mainstream radio, but, whatever y’all.
Lyrical Highlight: “Tush, tush, tush/ Want to slide in the bush, bush, bush?”
2. “Too Much Booty In The Pants” by 2 Live Crew (1997)
2 Live Crew’s 1998 album “As Nasty As They Wanna Be” was so raunchy it was ruled obscene by a Florida federal district court judge. In 1990, three of the band’s members were arrested and had their album seized during a performance at a local sex club. In Florida of all places!
Too Much Booty In The Pants came out nearly a decade later, but the band’s deliciously bawdy lyrics and themes remained. The track encourages girls with big butts to continue dancing in jeans that are just a little too tight and also suggests that doing so can grant them the power of hypnosis.
Lyrical Highlight: “WASSAP! All the freaks out there with them big ole booties!”
1. “Dazzey Duks” by 69 Boyz/Duice
Ok, again, IMPORTANT, I don’t know, but a slapper? Hell to the yes. The song consists completely of letting the audience know they should look at them girls with the Daisy Dukes on. That’s what they want you to do!
Lyrical Highlight: “Yo, girls that be lookin’ real cute The way y’all kickin’ them Daisy Dukes.”
