and I like this version even better than the original Meghan Trainer's:

Monsieur Himm, you are to be applauded for this find! Perhaps I bailed too quickly on Meghan's vid, but I just didn't hear anything that reminded me of "music" on it.

The video you found is a great "tongue in cheek" version that includes a beautiful young woman "proving" that she can be "all about that bass" and also demonstrate that she can be an appealing young woman playing an instrument traditionally not associated with women. I'm thrilled to see Esperanza, Bridget Kearney (of Lake Street Dive), and this woman show the world that women can play these instruments and be really good at them. (I will also say here that I think Bridget frequently "overplays," but I truly understand why.)

I was stunned when, as a sophomore in (an uber liberal/progressive) college I first encountered the sexism that existed in the music world. It was years ago. I do hope/believe this has changed -- slowly, and, perhaps, not completely but I think a slow, steady progession has been made.

Thus, when I see women like Esperanza/Bridget playing an instrument even less associated with women than a trumpet, I'm truly pleased! While NUG and I may approach the issue differently, the underlying factor remains the same.
