Hozier - "Take Me To Church"

My lover's got humour

She's the giggle at a funeral

Knows everybody's disapproval

I should've worshipped her sooner

If the Heavens ever did speak

She is the last true mouthpiece

Meghan Trainor - "All About That Bass"

Written by Meghan Trainor and Kevin Kadish

I'm bringing booty back

Go ahead and tell them skinny bitches Hey

No, I'm just playing I know you think you're fat,

But I'm here to tell you that,

Every inch of you is perfect from the bottom to the top

Yeah, my momma she told me don't worry about your size

She says, boys they like a little more booty to hold at night

Or it's gonna go down in flames

If the high was worth the pain

Got a long list of ex-lovers

They'll tell you I'm insane

'Cause you know I love the players

And you love the game

We're only getting older baby

And I've been thinking about it lately

Disappearing when you wake up

But there's nothing to be afraid of

Even when the night changes

It will never change me and you
