Jonathan Coulton is a musician from Brooklyn. He recorded a cover version of Sir Mix-A-Lot's "Baby Got Back" that uses a lot of mandolin and significantly reworks the melody.
Glee is a Fox television show in its fourth season. For an upcoming episode, they recorded a version of "Baby Got Back" that sounds eerily similar to Coulton's interpretation.
But before you go all, "wait a minute, this shit happens all the time" and recall David Cook's cover of "Billie Jean" that sounded a whole lot like Chris Cornell's cover of the same song, there's one big difference. Ryan Seacrest & Co. actually acknowledged Cornell on-air. Coulton was apparently blindsided by this news.
