Special SLMR: All About that Bass (As Performed by the KIDZ BOP Kids)

"I'm Bringing Anal Baaaaaaaaack"
Fucking REALLY!?!?!



The actual line is
"I'm bringing it all back",
but for the past few weeks, this line and the entire rest of the song blew up across the internet because of people believing the line sounded like the Anal line. So of course they took to Twitter and air out their puzzled frustrations:




Oh my God, make it stop!! (Oh yeah, this isn't a video; I'm typing this down. I really can stop it myself.)

As for the rest of the song, it's...not bad. The vocals from the singers aren't half bad, and they can belt out some notes worthy for Nickelodeon or Disney Channel. The lyrics have mostly changed, and it's for the better. And they're funny too, never forget that. But it's good they scrubbed the cursing and harmful words from it.
But this is Kidz Bop we're talking about. Any song sung by the group of kids chosen by a group of producers to sing covers of popular songs aka make moronic choices in songs to make money and raise awareness to keep its relevance afloat.

And for my honest opinion of the original song, it's not a bad song. The beat is great (which may explain the "bringin' it all back" line), Trainor has a nice voice, and I thought the message of self-acceptance would've been great if the lyrics weren't so damn biased towards overweight people. It is catchy as hell though, and so it this, if not for the stupid implications.

I don't know why they chose this particular song for the tracklist, other than because it's a hit and making a cover of a hit will generate popularity and sales. And because of that, the franchise will continue for years and years. So get used to it America and the world. Kidz Bop is here to stay...whether you like it or not...for better or worse.

Also, unless word-of-mouth brought them there, but it's really sick when adults are listening to this song cover by Kidz Bop (Yes, I'm an adult too; blame Facebook, BuzzFeed and Uproxx for their word-of-mouth)
