Meghan Trainor's "Me Too"

Meghan Trainor's song "Me Too" is the epitome of self-conceitedness. I hope to God for the sake of America and civilization that there aren't more than a handful of people so self-conceited.  Below is my commentary on the song itself.

"Who's that sexy thing I see over there?
That's me, standin' in the mirror"

How stupid do you have to be to have to ask such a question?

What's that icy thing hangin' 'round my neck?
That's gold, show me some respect

So just because you have some gold we are supposed to respect you? Talk about perpetuating that the rich are better.

I thank God every day
That I woke up feelin' this way
And I can't help lovin' myself
And I don't need nobody else, nuh uh

I assume you're talking about yourself and not God. At least you thank him for your feelings.

If I was you, I'd wanna be me too
I'd wanna be me too
I'd wanna be me too
If I was you, I'd wanna be me too
I'd wanna be me too
I'd wanna be me too

I promise you that I have no interest in being you.

I walk in like a dime piece
I go straight to V.I.P.
I never pay for my drinks

Who on earth pays for the drinks of someone so conceited?

My entourage behind me
My life's a movie, Tom Cruise
So bless me, baby, achoo
And even if they tried to
They can't do it like I do

So because your life is like a movie we are supposed to bless you? I'm glad to know that you think you're better than everyone.

I thank God every day
That I woke up feelin' this way
And I can't help lovin' myself
And I don't need nobody else, nuh uh

It's good that you don't need nobody else, because you aren't going to have anyone else.

If I was you, I'd wanna be me too
I'd wanna be me too
I'd wanna be me too
If I was you, I'd wanna be me too
I'd wanna be me too
I'd wanna be me too

Nobody wants to be you. I promise.

If I was you, I'd wanna be me too
I'd wanna be me too
I'd wanna be me too
If I was you, I'd wanna be me too
I'd wanna be me too
I'd wanna be me too
If I was you, I'd wanna be me too
I'd wanna be me too
I'd wanna be me too
If I was you, I'd wanna be me too
I'd wanna be me too
I'd wanna be me too

Do you think that if you say it enough that it'll become true. Hint: It won't.


It is not good for a society when people listen to this song, or songs like it. There have been studies to show that certain music related things can affect the brain, and how we think. Listening to songs that preach these kind of messages have no benefit to society. 



Here is another paper done on the subject of lyrics and cognitive affect.
