The show was part of the Seattle Symphony’s Sonic Evolution project, which seeks to bridge the gap between the classical style and Seattle’s rich culture of popular music.
Composer Gabriel Prokofiev was commissioned to orchestrate this year’s Sonic Evolution show, and the artist he chose for inspiration was Sir Mix-A-Lot. Prokofiev said he found the rapper and Seattle native to be “the most interesting and exciting,” according to his blog.
While a lot of ladies get into the song, the one in the black dress really gets into the song. Heck, I enjoyed just watching her more than anything else.
I wonder how many of them actually get the Flo-Jo reference. She died in 1998, I’m sure most of those girls were born after that time.
I agree. Two thumbs up on the woman in the black dress! I had never even heard of the song until it had left the charts. My ex introduced me to it. What a great unlikely partnership!
