Olivia Hotchkiss is a 24-year-old Green Bay Packers fan who loves to sing, and she's provided the hometown team with special version of Meghan Trainor's "All About That Bass."
Last November, she gave the world "Packer Backer," a reimagining of Lorde's "Royals" that predicted a Super Bowl appearance for her favorite team. That didn't happen, but Hotchkiss collected more than 100,000 views for her effort.
Now, she's back for more with a much simpler reworking of Meghan Trainor's 2014 hit "All About That Bass." The lyrics are mostly generic...
Yeah, it's pretty clear
We're doing really good
Because we keep winnin', winnin'
Just like we knew we would
...and wander into the outright dumb...
I see the TV screen
I'm watching football
...but it's a good effort nonetheless.
Hotchkiss spoke to FOX Sports about her "Royals" cover last year.
"Everyone says they now have those lyrics in their head instead of the actual ones," Hotchkiss said. "Not to sound cocky, but I can sing, so that works to my advantage. My voice works well with that song. With the other Packer parodies, you don't have to have a certain kind of voice with it, whereas this song, (Lorde) has a certain kind of voice and I tried to mimic that tone. The fact it was so similar and the words were so on point with the music, it just worked."
No word on what next year's song of choice will be, but Hotchkiss will likely strike again — not that she needs the attention!
"I was perfectly content with my life before this, so this is just a bonus," she said.
