** Sir Mix-a-Lot has admitted to being incredibly annoyed by "Baby Got Back", as he has re-written it at least 3 times for different shows and has virtually eclipsed the rest of his career.
He has since embraced the song's ubiquity, probably because [[MoneyDearBoy it still makes him a lot of money.]] However, he's also had great fun lampooning it—for example, appearing on Radio/WaitWaitDontTellMe and trading jokes with host Peter Sagal in 2010 (in relation to a bit about pre-crash Washington Mutual bankers performing "Baby Got Bucks").

* BabyNameTrendKiller: "Baby Got Back" is often held as the point of origin for "Becky" as a slang term for a narrow-minded and casually racist white woman. While Becky (and its full form, Rebecca) had been declining from the peaks of their popularity at that point, by the mid-'90s Becky had fallen out of the top one thousand girls' names even as Rebecca remained modestly popular. Notably, nowadays younger Rebeccas are more likely to abbreviate their name to "Becca" than "Becky".



* OneHitWonder: "Baby Got Back" topped the Billboard charts and made him a household name, but he also had a couple underground hits before that: "Posse On Broadway" and "My Hooptie".

* HitlessHitAlbum: His first album, ''Swass'', went platinum. This was an impressive achievement, considering that hip-hop was a fairly new genre at the time and Sir-Mix-A-Lot was on an independent label. However, the only song from it to chart on the Billboard Hot 100 was "Posse on Broadway", which peaked at #70. His only hit song was the infamous [[StuffyOldSongsAboutTheButtocks "Baby Got Back"]] from his third album, ''Mack Daddies'', which peaked at #1. As a result, he is commonly remembered as a OneHitWonder.
