    Nice tune, thanks for finding it! They're right, it IS all about the bass. Only if you play bass, of course. But if you do, you know it's all about the song.

    SHOCKING :)

    It's not by Bruce, it's a Tom Waits tune from the 'Heartattack and Vine' album. Written for his wife.

    I couldn't find the exact lyrics as the young ladies cleaned them up to better suit the venue.. But here's the original (I think!) lyrics.
    "All About That Bass"

    Because you know I'm all about that bass
    'Bout that bass, no treble
    I'm all about that bass
    'Bout that bass, no treble
    I'm all about that bass
    'Bout that bass, no treble
    I'm all about that bass
    'Bout that bass... bass... bass... bass

    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 magazine workin' 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

    Yeah, my mama she told me "don't worry about your size"
    (Shoo wop wop, sha-ooh wop wop)
    She says, "Boys like a little more booty to hold at night"
    (That booty, uh, that booty booty)
    You know I won't be no stick figure silicone Barbie doll
    (Shoo wop wop, sha-ooh wop wop)
    So if that's what you're into, then go 'head and move along

    Because you know I'm all about that bass
    'Bout that bass, no treble
    I'm all about that bass
    'Bout that bass, no treble
    I'm all about that bass
    'Bout that bass, no treble
    I'm all about that bass
    'Bout that bass... Hey!

    I'm bringing booty back
    Go 'head 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

    Yeah my mama she told me, "don't worry about your size"
    (Shoo wop wop, sha-ooh wop wop)
    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 you're into, then go 'head and move along

    Because you know I'm all about that bass
    'Bout that bass, no treble
    I'm all about that bass
    'Bout that bass, no treble
    I'm all about that bass
    'Bout that bass, no treble
    I'm all about that bass
    'Bout that bass...

    Because you know I'm all about that bass
    'Bout that bass, no treble
    I said I'm all about that bass
    'Bout that bass, no treble
    I'm all about that bass
    'Bout that bass, no treble
    I'm all about that bass
    'Bout that bass...

    Because you know I'm all about that bass
    'Bout that bass, no treble
    I'm all about that bass
    'Bout that bass, no treble
    I'm all about that bass
    'Bout that bass, no treble
    I'm all about that bass
    'Bout that bass... Hey!
    I'm all about that bass
    'Bout that bass... Hey!
    I'm all about that bass
    Bout that bass...
    Hey!
    Yeah yeah... ohh... You know you like this bass... Hey...

    This song truly blows me away. It speaks of a pain few of us can even imagine. lost treasures never to be reclaimed..

    Step into another mans life..be be prepared for his pain. Every word carries meaning and every meaning must be endured.
    From the Bone Machine Album.




    Well the Ice Man's mule is parked
    Outside the bar
    Where a man with missing fingers
    Plays a strange guitar
    And the German dwarf
    Dances with the butcher's son
    And tonight a little rain never hurt no one

    They're dancing on the roof
    And the ceiling's coming down
    And I sleep with my shovel and my leather gloves
    And a little trouble makes it worth the going
    And a little rain never hurt no one

    Oh, the world is round
    And I'll go around
    You must risk something that matters
    My hands are strong
    I'll take any man here
    If it's worth the going
    It's worth the ride

    She was 15 years old
    And she'd never seen the ocean
    She climbed into a van
    With a vagabond
    And the last thing she said
    Was "I love you Mom"


    And a little rain
    Never hurt no one
    And a little rain
    Never hurt no one

    This song is from one of the few movies I never pass on a chance to see again.
    Each viewing passes as serenely as the Desert where the only things that can move are the things that must move for it to be a desert.

    This song has haunted my dreams for decades now. They are always good dreams, dry and unencumbered by negative emotion.

    We've been here before. Were here now because I have a problem letting go.
    I think it takes a kind of courage even for professionals to step out on a stage
    With only your talent and training to sustain you. However great the rewards the treat of failure can cripple the naturally shy among us.

    This lady put a spell on me, I can't quite break loose of her, hell I can't even want to.":O}

    The bass they are referring to sits a'top of their legs.

    "No treble, so if that's what your into you better move along."

    Charmed, I can't deny it!

    I was so lucky, saw her perform live about five times. She was a force of nature!

    But a world of music with only bass would be terrible. Every musicians duty is to make all of the other musicians sound good. And of course having an ace on bass is a lovely thing.

    I'm glad that this wasn't my song. But it is everyone's, of course.
