As someone who was raised on music, I never tire of its myriad forms and variations.  From a very young age I was exposed to all genres and I am constantly enchanted by the latest sounds.  One day as I was doing chores I heard a lively upbeat tune with a chorus of harmonic female voices reminiscent of the 50’s Doo-wop harmonies.  As I listened to the words I was struck by the double entendre in the lyrics of the chorus.  Before long I found myself singing along.  As the lyrics progressed, the story of the song became clear. The positive and lighthearted description of the female body was much appreciated.  In today’s hits, there are so many songs that depict women in vulgar descriptions.

The bouncy melody and the message of self-appreciation regardless of one’s size manifest in positive and cheery images. I have quickly added the song to my current list of favorites.  If you haven’t heard it yet and you are in the mood for a new song that is easy on the ears, this is one to try!
