Meghan Trainor’s “All About That Bass” did not leave our heads in 2014. In 2020, Trainor’s Google Translate-ruined version “I Am Full of Fish,” is proving to be just as catchy.
On Wednesday, Trainor (virtually) dropped by NBC’s “The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon” to promote her Christmas album “A Very Trainor Christmas.” Then, Fallon cornered her into playing “Google Translate Songs.”
Here’s how the ridiculousness works: A “Tonight Show” staffer loads the lyrics of popular pop songs into Google Translate, translates them into Slovak, then those Slovak words are translated back into English. The result is some head-bopping absurdity.
Jimmy Fallon was first up, and he set the bar high with The Killers’ “Mr. Brightside,” which translates into “Glowing Wall Is Me.” Alright.
Trainor’s turn was a bit easier, as she got to sing her own hit. Mistaking “bass,” the musical term, for “bass” the fish made that one extra enjoyable.
Here’s how “I Am Full of Fish” starts: “OK, very sharp, range is not two for me/although I flap up, flap up as my requirement/So many children steal my prosperity/Healthy trash in healthy towns.”
And the chorus: “You’re aware/that I am full of fish, full of fish/with screaming” (x3)
‘Tis the season, so the two wrapped up with a duet of “It’s Beginning to Look a Lot Like Christmas,” which translated into “I’ll Take a Look at the Christmas Pie.”
Put that one on “A Very Trainor Christmas 2,” Meghan. (Or maybe just the Slovak version of “A Very Trainor Christmas.”)

Because you know I’m all about that bass
‘Bout that bass, no treble
I’m all ’bout that bass, ’bout that bass, no treble
I’m all ’bout that bass, ’bout that bass, no treble
I’m all ’bout that bass, ’bout that bass
[Verse 1]
Yeah, it’s pretty clear, I ain’t no size two
But I can shake it, shake it, like I’m supposed to do
‘Cause I got that boom boom that all the boys chase
And all the right junk in all the right places
I see the magazines working that Photoshop
We know that shit ain’t real, come on 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
[Pre-Chorus]
Yeah, my momma she told me don’t worry about your size
She says, boys like a little more booty to hold at night
(That booty, booty, uh, that booty booty)
You know I won’t be no stick-figure, silicone Barbie doll
So, if that’s what’s you’re into then go ahead and move along
[Chorus]
Because you know I’m all about that bass
‘Bout that bass, no treble
I’m all ’bout that bass, ’bout that bass, no treble
I’m all ’bout that bass, ’bout that bass, no treble
I’m all ’bout that bass, ’bout that bass
[Verse 2]
Hey, I’m bringing booty back
Go ahead and tell them skinny bitches that
No, I’m just playing I know you think you’re fat
But I’m here to tell you
Every inch of you is perfect from the bottom to the top
[Pre-Chorus]
Yeah, my momma she told me don’t worry about your size
She says, boys like a little more booty to hold at night
(That booty, booty, uh, that booty booty)
You know I won’t be no stick-figure, silicone Barbie doll
So, if that’s what’s you’re into then go ahead and move along
[Chorus]
Because you know I’m all about that bass
‘Bout that bass, no treble
I’m all ’bout that bass, ’bout that bass, no treble
I’m all ’bout that bass, ’bout that bass, no treble
I’m all ’bout that bass, ’bout that bass
Because you know I’m all about that bass
‘Bout that bass, no treble
I’m all ’bout that bass, ’bout that bass, no treble
I’m all ’bout that bass, ’bout that bass, no treble
I’m all ’bout that bass, ’bout that bass
Because you know I’m all about that bass
‘Bout that bass, no treble
I’m all ’bout that bass, ’bout that bass, no treble
I’m all ’bout that bass, ’bout that bass, no treble
I’m all ’bout that bass, ’bout that bass
