After 22 years, Sir Mix-A-Lot apparently still can't lie about liking big butts.

Women from the audience rushed the stage to accompany the 50-year-old rapper (and throw down some serious dance moves) as he performed his iconic 1992 hit "Baby Got Back" with the Seattle Symphony Orchestra.

The event was part of Seattle Symphony's Sonic Evolution event, intended to celebrate the past, present, and future of Seattle music.
