== Overview ==
=== Origin ===
On July 23, 2013, Gaijin Goombah uploaded a video to his channel titled "Big Ol' Game Exchange Update! New Shows, New Content!", where he announced, among other things, that the characters of him and his wife would be using updated designs. Many people were critical of Akiterra's new design because her breasts were noticeably more exposed and many felt that it was an abnormal or even disgusting choice to attempt to sexualize a Goomba. Later that day, Gaijin Goombah responded to this criticism in a video titled "Defending T&A - Goombah's Real Talk". In this video, he expressed his frustration with excessive violence in media being acceptable in American culture while excessive sexualization in media is not.

In January 12, 2014, the song "Goomba Got Back" was uploaded to GaijinGoomba YouTube channel. It was a parody of "Baby Got Back" by Sir Mix-A-Lot, with the direction production made by GaijinGoomba, while the main composition was made by The Living Tombstone, with the artists for the visuals by The Gecko Ninja, Serena (Gabby) Midori, and FreeFootage4You. The video itself was yet a references to the criticism of the character, with the start of the video showing off the comments of the criticism and the lyrics referencing the same topic.
The Living Tombstone responded in one of the re-uploads on the comment in regrads of how he participated in. The song was a request made by GaijinGoomba, who wanted a remix of the song as a parody. With The Living Tombstone response for it was "fuck yeah! an excuse to do a remix of Baby Got Back! I love this song!". The same also commented to be proud to make the music, despite was made in a totally different intention it was from his view.@TheLivingTombstone. "A lot of you probably wondering how come I was involved in this lol.
It all came to be a bit after I first met GaijinGoomba online long time ago, at the time I was even making a remix of his theme song for his show which I never completed cause I got lazy. he asked me to do a remix of "Baby Got Back" for a parody video he wanted to do, he sent me the vocals of the parody and I was like "fuck yeah! an excuse to do a remix of Baby Got Back! I love this song!" after I finished making the song and sending it to him he made this video with an animator and he put it on his channel and the rest is historyyy
I'm proud of every piece of music I get to do including this one, even if it turns out to not work or have a totally different intention in the end than I expected, I'm still happy I managed to finish it and move on to the next thing. I personally don't mind if this became part of cringe culture, me and friends would sometimes view cringe videos and then laugh at this one too and go "oh yeah lol, I was part of that", if this made you enjoy it from that aspect atleast then I'm happy haha" (Source).

The music and the video was met with similar backlash and criticism, being eventually removed from the channel completely. With the SoundCloud releases being taken down aswell. However, re-uploads of the song still exist online.

== Lyrics ==
I like big gooms and I cannot lie
You other haters can't deny
When that girl walks in with an itty bitty waist
And them power ups in yo face you get...
[Power-up Mushroom Sound]
Wanna get a 1-up cause you noticed them puffs was stuffed
Deep in the robe she's wearin'
I'm hooked and I can't stop starin'
OH BABY!
I wanna get wit yo! And take yo picto!
Those haters try to troll me
But them shrooms you got make...
[Fire Balls Sounds]
OOOOH! Aki Goombah...
Wanna get inside those boombas...
So work it... Work it...
Cause you ain't no average goombette!
I see trolls yammerin'...
Ta Hell with their stammerin'!
Her curves are WHAM!!! BOOM!!!
Got it goin like a Gold Crown Shroom
I'm tired of stupid trolls criticizin' lovely rolls!
Get an average goom with her in the room...
He'll get full bloom

Then turn around, stick it out!
Even koopas gotta' shout
Goomba got back!
