Barely Political/The Key of Awesome

This “All About That Bass” parody was performed by Rachel McPhee for popular parody presenters Barely Political and The Key of Awesome. In this parody, McPhee sings and makes fun of the hypothetical circumstances behind how the song may have possibly been written. Best line of the parody: “I need a goofy phrase, that I can base this. That will appeal to kids, and also soccer moms!”

MyLifeSuckers

This is probably one of the funniest parodies of “All About That Bass” on YouTube that do not directly make fun of Meghan Trainor or the pop song itself. It’s basically a parody made to represent daily struggles of moms as they deal with the nasty things their kids do everyday, with the young mommies pleading with the phrase “I just need some space, need some space”

CBS Follies

Another one that doesn’t provoke Trainor and the song itself, this parody song was composed and performed by students from the Columbia School of Business and basically tells about being a strong-powered female in male-dominated industries. You, go girls!
