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.

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

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.

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.

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.

My wife, who didn't grow up here, loves Nicki Minaj but I recently realized had never heard Baby Got Back and didn't know the sample. Playing her the original I was reminded of how it actually seemed like kind of a radical move at the time to have a pop hit talking about a body type not represented in mainstream media, especially one more associated, allegedly, with black preferences. Somehow now it doesn't feel so radical anymore, which I guess is a good thing for the culture. But like the "plus size model" has become such a popular, pat-ourselves-on-the-back thing that it's already been parodied by the Onion, and that makes Trainor's song seem to have a lot less bite. And I really wish I had a writing/posting style that sounded less stilted when discussing songs about big butts.

Senator Mix-A-Lot Sponsors Titties-On-Glass LegislationNEWS IN BRIEF • Politics • Congress • Music • Legislation • ISSUE 38•42 • Nov 13, 2002WASHINGTON, DC—Seeking to stem a four-year decline in freaky Yolandas throwing they titties on U.S. glass, U.S. Sen. Mix-A-Lot (B-WA) introduced sweeping new putting-'em-on-glass legislation Tuesday. "Now listen up, Uncle Sam / I wanna see soul sistas pressin' that ham / Make me say damn / I wanna rear-end 'em / So I'm callin' a Senate referendum / Bounce by the ounce don't make no fun / I'll take 'em by the ton, son," Mix-A-Lot said. "Don't hand this bill down to no committees / 'Cause Mix don't wait on monster titties / Note to my colleague Tom Daschle / That if the babies be gettin' bashful / No melons droppin' on my windshield / So get them nudie laws repealed." Mix-A-Lot then gave props to the authors of H.R. 1610, from which several key clauses were sampled.
