The dialogue of actress Papillon Soo Soo saying 'Me so horny' is sampled from the 1987 film Full Metal Jacket to complete Sir Mix-a-Lot's lyric, 'That butt you got makes.' She's just so black!', at which point Sir Mix-a-Lot begins rapping of his love for big-bottomed girls. One girl named Linda (dubbed by Amylia Dorsey) remarks to her friend, 'Oh, my, God Becky, look at her butt! It is so big. In the song's prelude there is a conversation between two (presumably) thin, exclusively white (despite of Budweiser commercial) Valley girls, similar to girl talk in Frank Zappa's 'Valley Girl'. Sir Mix-a-Lot commented in a 1992 interview: 'The song doesn't just say I like large butts, you know? The song is talking about women who damn near kill themselves to try to look like these beanpole models that you see in Vogue magazine.' He explains that most women respond positively to the song's message, especially black women: 'They all say, 'About time.'' Mix and Dorsey sought to 'Broaden the definition of beauty.' They decided to dedicate a song to the very opposite, featuring curvy women of color. The idea came from the 1980s Budweiser commercial featuring very thin, valley girl-esque models with different skin colors. The song came from a meeting between Sir Mix-a-Lot and Amylia Dorsey who saw little representation of full figured women in media.

The first verse begins with 'I like big butts and I cannot lie' and most of the song is about the rapper's attraction to women with large buttocks.
