"I'm a Believer" by The Monkees



VERSUS

"All About That Bass" by Meghan Trainor

AATB is godawful

Yeah it really is.

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.

I prefer the Smash Mouth version

The Monkees song is actually quite nice

Fucking yikes.

Anyway, voting for I'm a Believer.

i might be joking...maybe

That Bass. I fucking hate the Monkees song.

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.

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.

I used to watch one of these before school every morning on VH1.

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

Also it features Eddie Murphy as a singing donkey

IaB gets my vote but I think this is the definitive version
