Lizzo ripped it up at Monday's MTV Music Video Awards with a 4 minute rendition of "Truth Hurts" and "Good as Hell" in front of a giant inflatable booty.

As Minnesotans love to claim Lizzo as our own, we can now claim that booty as our own as it was made by a Burnsville company called Landmark Creations. And although this project wasn't the company's first butt, it was their first standalone butt. Fun!

So for today's 9:30 Coffee Break, what songs do you want to hear that celebrate butts, booties, rear ends, etc?
