Hey everyone, happy Easter Weekend for those who are celebrating, and much like the unfound eggs from last year turning up in the grass this year, I've got a rotten treat for you! People have been saying this song might be the Worst Song of the year before the entire thing was even out, they were saying it about a 30 second clip from Meggie's Instagram! Now that the whole thing's out, your favorite Doc has sliced it up. It's Meghan Trainor's "Mother". Enjoy!
Buckley's back in the Musical Morgue, this time dissecting a song that's already a contender for "The Worst Song of 2023". Meghan Trainor is diggin' out old tropes to pair with her old-sounding music, as she tells us MEN BAD, WOMEN GOOD! Buckley wonders if this is how dudes are driven toward the Tates of the world, AND if Meghan is trying to take credit for battles she's never fought.

Omg, I was literally sitting forward, ready to yell at my TV screen at you, and THAT'S when you added the tidbit about 'before I get screamed at, this was a sample of Mr. Sandman' lmao. I audibly snorted.

I've listened to this episode three times. Buckley hits the nail on the head here.

And somehow… this thing was on Australian Idol telling OTHER people whether they could or couldn’t sing or had what it took to succeed as a musician. She’s just a man-hating stereotype who bleeds insecurity.

She needs to go away as well.

People ask the same thing about Amy Schumer
Adam Buckley
Hopefully the labels will have had enough of her if this one doesn't do anything (and so far I don't think this song has charted, despite apparently having some traction on TikTok)

This is pure garbage. When will she go away?

Even by Meghan Trainor standards, this song is awful.

And the 2023 New Kids on the Block Award for worst use of nostalgia goes to....
Miguel
I swear Meghan’s songs get worse every year
Matt Whitaker
Meghan was merely a dishonorable mention last year. This year, she’s giving Miss Azalea a run for her money.
Serena
holy hot garbage. talk about adding more fuel to fire up all the other Andrew Tates around the world.....

Doubt Mrs. Tumbler's done yet. I'm sure she thinks she has a lot more clever shit to ramble off.

She is a funny looking thing that's for sure. I only know one person who's doing a decent job with 60s throwback stuff, and it's not her. I am a raging feminist, and even I think these lyrics are total bullshit. Hopefully this is the last act of a desperate (wo)man.
