* FiveFiveFive: Notably averted in "Baby Got Back". 1-900-Mix-a-Lot, or 1-900-649-2568, has been a legally-dialable number in the North American Number Plan at various points in history. At one point, it actually redirected to Sir Mix-a-Lot's personal line (though toll-free outside applicable long distance charges). But as of 2023, it is currently inactive.
** The music video and radio edit censor the 1-900 with [[SoundEffectBleep a dial tone and phone button press tones]].

* UsefulNotes/{{Homophobia}}: Although "Baby Got Back" was very popular of the gay community, most fans were horrified to hear Mix-A-Lot shouting "Punk ass, cake, faggot ass nigga!" in "Seattle Ain't Bullshittin'".
