All About the Smiles Sat9

Saturday 9: All About that Bass (2014)       

(A special request from Smellyann)
Unfamiliar with this week's tune? Hear it here. 

1) This song is body positive. In that spirit: What physical feature would you never change, no matter what? 

My smile.

2) The lyrics mention how often the media uses Photoshop to present a more ideal female form. Is Photoshop on your computer? If so, do you know how to use it?  No I had an early version on a old desktop many years ago. I did not use it but DD2 did.


3) She also sings about Mattel's Barbie doll. According to Toys R Us, this year's best-selling doll is not Barbie but Disney's Elsa. Have you seen Frozen? Yes, It was ok.  I still prefer Tangled to Frozen,

4) In the video, Meghan dances merrily around her twin bed with its pink head/footboard. Describe your bed to us. I have a lovely metal head board with vines and birds on it, and the best memory foam mattress in the world.

5) Ms. Trainor began writing songs when she was 11. Would you find it easier to write lyrics or music? 
I make up my own lyrics....it use to drive the girls crazy.

6) Meghan recently performed "All About that Bass" on the CMAs with country star Miranda Lambert. Who is your favorite country singer? I loved the Dixie Chicks and still listen to them when I can.  I hate that they were berated for their opinions of George W,  I don't discriminate the country world for their conservative values I like country music.  The fandom should have left them alone.

7) In September, Meghan had to cancel several concerts because of throat trouble. Are you battling a cold, cough or sore throat this morning? My throat is sore and I am sneezing allergies...I need to dig out the humidifier.

8) Meghan was born in Nantucket, MA. "Nantucket" is an Algonquian name that means, "faraway island." How did your town get its name/what does it mean? It was named after a miner named Carter. But because of the pot holes I call it Craterville.

9) According to the National Weather Service, between rain and snow, winter brings Nantucket the most precipitation it sees all year. How is the weather where you are today? We've been cold and  some snow is expected tonight.
