DONATE: paypal.me/franksbasscovers 'ALL ABOUT THAT BASS' - MEGHAN TRAINOR | FRANKS BASS COVERS & TAB from the album Title and the EP Title Released June 30, 2014 This spent eight weeks at #1 in the US. It was Epic Records' longest-running chart topper ever, surpassing the seven-week reigns of Michael Jackson's "Billie Jean" and "Black Or White." This was the first Hot 100 #1 to include the word "bass" in its title. The previous highest-ranking "bass" track was Nicki Minaj's "Super Bass," which peaked at #3. Sadly, the Muppets favorite "Mr. Bass Man" topped out at #16. Fittingly, the bass is very prominent in this song. It's an acoustic, upright bass, which adds to the retro nature of the track. When Trainor sings the line, "No treble," notice that the bass comes out. Another clever play on the bass/treble bit: Trainor changes pitch when she sings the word "bass" and the line "no treble," making it lower for the bass and higher for the treble. Notice how it's "mama" who says that boys like some booty to hold at night. This serves two purposes: 1) It adds to the retro feel of the song, since many tunes in the early '60s had lyrics about "mama" giving advice, the most obvious being "Mama Said" by The Shirelles. 2) It shifts the statement away from Trainor, since it's not her taking this position, but her mother - she's just passing along the advice. This comes in handy when deflecting criticism that the song is degrading to skinny girls. Meghan won the 2011 Sonicbids Tennessee song contest when she was 17, and got signed to a songwriting deal with the publisher Big Yellow Dog right out of high school Song producer Kevin Kadish, had the title "All About That Bass" written in his notebook when he and Trainor started their songwriting session The song's music video features Vine celebrity Sione Maraschino busting some serious moves in the background. The clip was directed by Fatima Robinson, who also did Michael Jackson's "Remember The Time" and Aaliyah's "Try Again."
