Sir Checks-a-Lot – “♛ Queen's Checkin Her Back ♛”

Intro: My friend Brittany posted a status message that said, “I wish there was a hip-hop song with the lyric, I’ve got more moves than a chess game. These are the things [I] think of on the drive to work.” 8:00am

I like to write parodies so I proceeded to incorporate this inspiration into a chess-themed parody of a favorite karaoke & 90’s hip hop song that many of you know as “Baby Got Back” by Sir Mix-A-Lot.

“cuz I’ve got mo’ moves than yo' King’s ♔ got game!...A word to the felt-bottom pieces ♙, I wanna take ya – I won’t bash or flick ya!” —by ZiiX, retired elementary chess club president. Smile. Build on it. Enjoy. Dance in your chair & have fun with it. __________________________________________________ Sir Checks-A-Lot – “Queen’s Checkin’ ♛ Her Back”

Oh, my, gosh. Brittany, look at my Queen ♛! I like skilled Queens ♛ and I cannot lie You other pawns ♟ can’t de-ny when th’ Queen ♛ moves across with an itty bitty crown And a felt bottom in’ yo frown You get checked ♛, wanna pull out yo’ Knight ♘ ‘Cause you noticed yo ♔ King was stuck Deep on your side, I’m glarin’ My Queen ♛ can’t stop starin’ Oh baby, I wanna checkmate‘cha And take your ♔ King’ah
My black squares can‘t contain me But that ♔ King you got maka..me-feel-so greedy

Ooh, yo’ bish-op- moves- in...♗ You say you wanna get my Queen ♛
Well, take her ♛ and see ‘Cause you ain’t that average playee I’ve seen them slidin’ The heck with your takin’ My ♞ Knight’s sleek, ready Got it goin’ like a young Bobb-y
