I have to thank Sarah Wendell of Smart Bitches, Trashy Books for pointing me in the direction of this link<\/a>: fantasy author JIm C. Hines’ “Baby Got Books”<\/a>, a great riff on the Sir Mix-a-Lot song. And now, thanks to our very talented reviewer and zombie editor, MonsterLibrarian.com presents our very own genre-specific version: “Baby Got Books- Horror Remix”. Warning- not for the faint of heart. <\/p>\n

Baby Got Books: Horror Remix<\/p>\n

[Intro]
\nOh, my, god. Becky, look at her book.
\nIt is so big. *scoff* It looks like,
\none of those Stephen King books.
\nBut, you know, who understands Stephen King? *scoff*
\nThey only read it, because of,
\nlike, alien butt parasites, ‘kay?
\nI mean, her book, is just so big.
\nI can’t believe it’s just so thick, it’s like,
\nout there, I mean – gross. Look!
\nIt’s just so … creepy!<\/p>\n

[Sir Mix-a-Lot]
\nI like big books and I can not lie
\nYou other readers can’t deny
\nThat when the cover comes by with a big-ass mace
\nAnd a bloody psycho face
\nYou get sprung, wanna pull out your eyes
\n‘Cause you gotta know who dies
\nDeep in the pages you’re reading
\nYou’re hooked and people keep on bleeding
\nOh baby, I wanna go post-apoc
\nOr maybe deep special ops
\nMy parents tried to warn me
\nBut every time I fall for the dark and gory
\nOoh, cover-embossin’
\nYou got vampires need crossin’?
\nWell, tease me, bleed me
\n‘Cause you ain’t all sparkly
\nI’ve seen them hatin’
\nTo hell with literary fakin’
\nIt’s lean, mean,
\nGot it goin’ like Brian Keene
\nI’m tired of happy endings
\nAll the conflict getting mendings
\nTake your love stories and shove that
\nGotta have something to hack<\/p>\n

So, readers! (Yeah!) Readers! (Yeah!)
\nGot your Joe Hill book? (Hell yeah!)
\nThen read it! (Read it!) Read it! (Read it!)
\nRead that horror book!
\nBaby got books!<\/p>\n
