singing the track's pre-chorus, which is complemented by a scatting tempo, shimmying melody and early 1960s soul-pop groove.

On December 7, 2014, Nerdist Industries released a parody song "All About That Base: No Rebels", performed by Team Unicorn. Their video comprised a Star Wars theme and its premise sees men, depicted as stormtroopers, engaging in choreography alongside cheerleaders dressed in attire inspired by the fictional character Darth Vader. Mitchell Peters of Billboard opined that the parody was "catchy" and "hilarious". On December 12, 2014, a parody music video by NASA entitled "All About That Space" went viral. The video featured NASA interns performing choreography and shots of the Johnson Space Center in Houston. The parody also comprised altered lyrics written by Sarah Schlieder. NASA's parody video attained over one million views in four days. Lee Moran of the New York Daily News called the rendition "wonderfully a-dork-able". The high amount of parodies created eventually led to Time publishing an article titled "No More 'All About That Bass' Parodies, Please" on December 15, 2014. An addition parody was done by Randy Turnbow, "All About That Borg", which portrays Pickard, Worf, and several Borg Drones dancing to Star Trek themed lyrics with the Meghan Trainor melody, and features an interesting mashup of the original series Star Trek music played with the current "All About That Bass" supporting accompaniment. It is viewable at Randy Turnbow's channel on YouTube.

Cover versions

On August 4, 2014, American boy band Emblem3 performed an acoustic cover of "All About That Bass". The Roots covered the song on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon on August 20, 2014. Their rendition was deemed "angelic" by Chris Payne of Billboard. Canadian singer Justin Bieber posted a cover version of "All About That Bass" on his SoundCloud on October 15, 2014. In early September 2014, Kate Davis performed the song and played double bass under the leadership of pianist Scott Bradlee; in three months their 1940s jazz-style version, called "All About that (Upright) Bass", had received 8 million views on Bradlee's Postmodern Jukebox YouTube channel. On October 24, 2014, American group Pentatonix's Avi Kaplan released his cover version of the song online. Kaplan's rendition was positively reviewed by James Grebey of Spin who wrote, "Trainor's tune sounds very different a few octaves lower," and added, "We think it might just be an improvement". "All About That Bass" was also covered by Jamaican-American singer Anita Antoinette during the seventh season of the American series The Voice, receiving praise by the show's judges Pharrell Williams and Adam Levine. Ashley Lee of Billboard wrote that Antoinette provided the song with "a reggae twist". In the beginning of 2016, Trainor and James Corden performed a parody of the song about failed New Year's resolutions on The Late Late Show with James Corden.

Two cover versions entered the UK Singles Chart around the same time as Trainor's version, by Power Music Workout and Meghan Tonjes.
