All About That Bass

Driving in the car with my family,  a really funky song came on the radio. 

Here are some excerpted lyrics:

I see the magazines
 workin' that Photoshop
We know that shit ain't real
C'mon now, make it stop

If you got beauty beauty, 
just raise 'em up
Cause every inch of you is perfect
From the bottom to the top

Yeah, my mama she told me don't worry about your size
She says boys like a little more booty to hold at night
You know I won't be no stick figure silicone Barbie doll
So if that's what you're into then go ahead and move along

The song has a really catchy pop melody.  You can check out the video here:
When it first came on, the whole car started bouncing. Me, My Love, Big Sis and her two kids 9 & 11. Once we got into the lyrics...yikes! My Love and I shoot looks at each other, then a quick glance to Big Sis.  Ok, so some of the lyrics are a little risqué, but some of them are fantastic.  Maybe 9 & 11 can learn something from this.

Every inch of you is perfect from the bottom to the top. Wow.  How cool is that to hear?  Especially for 9, who is a growing up girl.  She's strong and athletic    and all-around awesome.  I love this message for her. Yes, there's still some aspect of the message that's about being ok because boys will like you, but I think the good outweighs the bad. 

This song has been pumping through my heads for days. I'm kinda all about it right now.
