Here's Nicki Minaj’s 'Anaconda' as a Serious Poem: Listen

Nicki Minaj’s “Anaconda” will never be confused
with Tennyson's "Ulysses." Though an unusual
new version shows the pop hit in an entirely
different light.
In a clip posted online, "Anaconda" is presented as
a dramatic poem. Comedian Ian Martin gives the
bawdy lyrics a read-through in his best “radio
voice”. The butts and the twerking are all stripped
away for the video and replaced with images of
gentle waves and sunsets, and a touch of piano is
added for effect. Watch the clip below.
It's certainly not the first reboot of the controversial
summer hit, which peaked at No. 2 on the Billboard
Hot 100. Postmodern Jukebox recently posted its
“vintage bluegrass hoedown” attempt on the song.

A “fart remix” of "Anaconda" blew away millions
following its release to YouTube in August. The
clip has since been removed.
