WaMu “President’s Club” Sales Conference Wrote And Performed A Rap Inspired By Sir-Mix-A-Lot

(April 14) -- Sir Mix-A-Lot never could have predicted this.

Two years before the 2008 collapse of Washington Mutual -- the biggest bank failure in U.S. history -- WaMu lenders at a retreat in Hawaii revamped the rapper's bawdy 1992 hit "Baby Got Back" into a banker-appropriate rap they titled "I Like Big Bucks."

The embarrassing revelation came Tuesday during a hearing of the Senate Permanent Subcommittee on Investigations, which has spent 18 months looking into the failure of WaMu. The company was seized by the federal government in 2008 and later unloaded to JPMorgan Chase at a fire sale price of $1.9 billion.

I mean, for fuck's sake.
