Meghan Trainor

I've mercifully avoided All About That Bass until just now, and then I subjected myself to Dear Future Husband. In short, Meghan Trainor is now the person I hate the most in the world.

the backing track of dear future husband reminds me of jive bunny

now that nicki minaj has given this generation the "baby got back" it deserves meghan trainor can be this generation's lou bega

Megan Trainor dont have a Mambo #5 in her...at best she has a "how bizarre"

not even

"how bizarre" >>>>

Who the fuck rates mambo no 5 over how bizarre I mean who the FUCK

gonna take a while to rebuild that trust neanderthal

This is "Cotton Eye Joe" quality AT BEST.

i should have made clear i was making a connection between meghan's soca fixation and ol mr mambo, and avoided everybody smearing their shit on the walls talking about irrelevant novelties

cotton eye joe is classic you pos

srsly

Lol sry i hate both songs. Also in my defense..nah gonna end with that.

nah

you srsly underestimate ILM's love for "How Bizarre"

every time i look around, it's in my face

BUY THE RIGHTS

Every song is worse than the last.

oh god that "Dear Future Husband" thing, jesus

it's like they were trying to make a Winehouse 2.0 car-insurance-ad-ready version of a 50s/60s sockhop vibe but had only ever heard a karaoke version of "Runaround Sue"

Srsly! That shit is straight "swing the mood".

mass appeal facebook meme the song

her next single will prob be called "...said no one ever!!" or something

I actually liked the "bass" song and the video. It is fun and catchy pop, and the video didn't suffer from the cringeworthy racial issues of Lily Allen or that Miley performance.

I also like "Baby Got Back" ... dunno how much it has to do with being a woman who is "endowed," but it feels a bit creepy seeing mostly dudes being dismissive.

#notalldudes

my main problem with this is her awful vocal affect, perfectly fine pop song otherwise.

nah actually not really, it's pretty weak

im all about that flange, that flange
no garu

oh come on can a man not support confidence in curves and still suggest the teen going "da booty booty da booty booty" over chintzy retro-pop may be a flash in the pan

as a pop singer, i mean. i'm sure she'll continue to get to write for rascal flatts and whoever. might even sing country too.

the "buyin' groceries / buy, buyin' what you need" bit from "Dear Future Husband" would be great as the pitched-down hook for a mid-00s coke-rap banger

the video didn't suffer from the cringeworthy racial issues of Lily Allen or that Miley performance.

I guess it says something about the racial politics of 2014 that a white girl singing "I'M ALL ABOUT DAT BASS" in an accent that to my ears sounds vaguely imitative of an inexact "black" diction doesn't involve "cringeworthy racial issues" anymore.

tbf she apparently learned how to pronounce booty from her mother

She was born in Nantucket and grew up in Hyannis, MA.

so many alternative ass puns

i'm likely to hear this at karaoke night tonight, have to grin and bear it

I was totally unaware of this song until last night, when a friend posted this youtube cover:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iyTTX6Wlf1Y

I actually kind of enjoyed the cover, and the original and its video when I tracked them down, in the same way I enjoy most of the referents above (Jive Bunny, Mambo #5, Katy Perry, Glee songs) -- as Sarahell said, fun and catchy pop, which I thought about as long as, say, Rebecca Black, and a good deal more than, say, anything I've seen from Pomplamoose. That said, Hurting2 otm re: racial politics imo.

These three:

I mean, they should get their own spin-off group right? Like, Meghan Trainor had a number two record at the end of summer, but then those three eyeless weirdos really shook things up.

I just want to say I love how bizarre and butts

Every Time I Look Around, It's In My Face: The Summer of the Butt

Officially #1 in the US.

putting money down now on at least one thinkpiece about the year's #1 singles being titled "shake it like a white girl"

Or "2014: A Bottom Heavy Year".

I just heard the "cleaned up" version of this on Radio Disney this morning. They replace the word booty with beauty. e.g. I'm bringing beauty back. Somehow makes the song even more ridiculous.

lmfao

I have missed beauty

i'm bringing cooties back

i'm bringing hootie back

i'm bringing rooty back

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LU4Y3A3oJRM

bringing snootie back

Things Meghan Trainor always says poll:

° I shit hits
° I'm Trini to the bone

lol this is her aunt
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pKU8k2TMwOw

That is really gross, Meghan.

it's a family affair

So no "All About That Hill.../No Trumpin'..." jingle then...

Sad!

I hope she amasses enough hits that she can release a greatest hits and call it I Shit Hits.

I do like her imagining what she'd do in the hypothetical race of Hillary Clinton v. Donald Trump.

in fairness maybe that interview was from before Hillary clinched the race

"Only the Shits"

I shit hits for this?

Shits & Pisses

I feel like we've glazed over the youtoob crüt graciously embeded just upthread;

this track isn't merely a " Trinidadian soca " banger performed by her aunt, this joint is also written and produced my meghan trainor herself. however, it only has ~9000 views on youtube, hardly a hit at all!

so what gives? is it a square/rectangle type thing, where all her hits are shits, but not every shit is a hit? or is the world at large just too dumb to realize that "animal" by meghan trainor's aunt is just as much a hit as "all about that bass" or any other?

for my own part, I must concede that this is probably the first Trinidadian soca song I have ever heard in my life, and therefore must cede the judgement to someone more worldly.

counting on you ILM!

is it a square/rectangle type thing, where all her hits are shits, but not every shit is a hit?

Oh, the Hits You Will Shit

She should call it Meghan Trainor's Greatest Shits and the cover should be a parody of that Millie Jackson album sleeve where she's sat on the pot, holding her shoe and pulling her shit face.
