Baby Got Butt...in Latin?

Indeed! Some Latinist has decided to "translate" Sir Mix A-Lot's classic ode to the gluteus maximus. Here are some of the lyrics (if a bit verbose, but still surprisingly...well, you decide):
magnae clunes mihi placent, nec possum de hac re mentiri.
(Large buttocks are pleasing to me, nor am I able to lie concerning this matter.)
quis enim, consortes mei, non fateatur,
(For who, colleagues, would not admit,)
cum puella incedit minore medio corpore
(Whenever a girl comes by with a rather small middle part of the body)
sub quo manifestus globus, inflammare animos
The rest can be found here.
