OK, I have been pretty disgusted with the Top 40 for quite a long time. I'm not a fan of Taylor Swift's new smash hit "Shake It Off" - it does nothing for me. Most of the Top 40 I think is really not worth of my attention. Then I see that this Meghan Trainor comes out of nowhere with this "All About That Bass" song and I'm thinking - OK, what the hell is getting to #1 these days?
So I decided to watch it. I did not expect what I saw.

It was as bass-heavy as advertised. It is very catchy. But not only that. It has a fantastic message, telling girls to love themselves as they are and not worry about being a size 2. It is true, trust me. Most guys do like a "little more booty" yet it seems like society is trying to program girls to be as skinny as possible. Meghan obviously isn't the skinniest girl herself, and she's proud and confident and the right kind of girl to deliver this message.
She has a bit of an unusual voice that took me a bit getting used to listening too, but I think it's just her style. I haven't heard any of her other music yet, but good for her. She deserves this #1 and I hope that message isn't lost on the girls that need to hear it. And guys, yeah, a "little more booty" is good.
But if you're skinny it's okay, too We all come in different shapes and sizes, and no one should tell you what you should and shouldn't be. Just be you!
And it really is all about that bass.
