Baby got...what?!

Baby got Book, that's what. Dan Smith (a.k.a. Southpaw) created the song and music video "Baby Got Book" based on the Sir Mix-A-Lot song and music video "Baby Got Back." The well-known song and raunchy video have been transformed by Smith, who has started his own church in Cleveland and is a DJ, into an ode to "the Christian Sistas." Here is just a sampling of his lyrics:

"Oh baby, I wanna read witcha
Cause your Bible's got pictures
My minister tried to console me
But that Book you got makes (M-m-me so holy)"

The whole video is online and available not only on YouTube, but also on GodTube. GodTube, according a Newsweek story, has not even officially launched yet (what is up is a test version of the site), and it already has 50,000 to 60,000 unique users a day.
