This actor’s impersonation is amazing. I am still dying over this: [If Ian McKellen performed "Baby Got Back" - YouTube](https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=BJjT0aHHL4w) Better than Jonathan Coulten’s singer/songwriter version!

That’s awesome! He really has the voice down. My favorite version of “Baby Got Back” is still the mash-up with Yes’s “Owner of a Lonely Heart,” entitled “[Owner of a Lovely Butt](https://soundcloud.com/scott-jennings-6/owner-of-a-lovely-butt).” 😃 ---

If it were Sir Patrick Stewart, he wouldn’t even need a parodist. He’d do it himself. [Oingo Boingo](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jBZ5OLy2EDg).
