On top of being a big part of The Summer of Ass, Meghan Trainor’s “All About That Bass” has made it so far into the pop culture universe that she got the revered Jimmy Fallon-Roots toy-instrument send-up, an honor previously bestowed upon “Let It Go,” “Call Me Maybe,” and “Blurred Lines.” The 20-year-old visited The Tonight Show to perform the body-positive hit with Fallon and his elite house band, imbuing it with the childlike charm that’s become the host’s trademark trait. In case you’re wondering exactly who is playing what, the show helpfully provided the full credits:
Jimmy Fallon — wood block, bass drum, Casio keyboard
Meghan Trainor — vocals, triangle
Questlove — hand clappers
Mark Kelley — kazoo
Kamal Gray — xylophone
James Poyser — melodica
Captain Kirk — ukulele
Frank Knuckles — bongos
Tuba Gooding Jr. — kazoo, apple shaker, banana shaker
Black Thought — tambourine
It’s a safe bet you’ll be hearing this rendition of “All About That Bass” over and over in your head all weekend long.
