Re: R1: I'm a Believer v All About That Bass
Whenever I listen to "All About That Bass," which is approximately once per year, it's never as bad as I remember it being. Don't get ne wrong; it's bad, but the rest of the song isn't as irritating as the hook. Unfortunately the hook makes up 60% of the track length. "I'm A Believer" is a lot of fun, and it took on a whole new dimension for me when I saw it performed by a man dressed as Shrek at the end of the Shrek musical. Yes I saw the Shrek musical.

Monkees, Meghan Trainor song is a little bit overhated but it's still bad

Not at all. Just don’t dig that tune. I like other Monkees tunes, just have never liked that one.doug rr wrote:did you get hit in the head from some flying debris?wease wrote:That Bass. I fucking hate the Monkees song.

I've always liked I'm a Believer, and that Trainor song is really bad.

Are The Monkees the biggest fake band ever? Still the best song here.

One thing the Smash Mouth version of "I'm A Believer" has over the original is the guitar tone. That lead line in the original is almost painful to listen to it's so goddamn dry and tinny
