All About That Bass

[hc4361]

This reminds me of song from years ago, the style of singing, the voice and the rhythm.

Anybody any idea?

Thanks for the reply but those others aren't familiar to me at all.

The Mavericks for the chorus (or Come Dancing by the Kinks?)
And the main bit sounds like some biscuit advert from a while ago

This was the biscuit thing I was thinking of. It wasn't an ad

It's been compared to "Beautiful" by Christina Aguilera, who has been cited by Trainor as a musical influence. Musically speaking, critics have also compared the song to Aguilera's "Ain't No Other Man".

Come Dancing! That's the one :D

Thanks hc. The chorus sounds very similar to the Mavericks to me, but I always thought that sounded too similar to Come Dancing

Is there a bit of Summerlove Sensation in the chorus too?

[hc4361]

Not too sure about that, but my listening limit for BCR is less than 30 seconds.

Reminds me of That's not my name by The Ting Tings.

I wish it was all about this Bass!
