Song Writing & Lyrics
Several questions about a song, "All About That Bass"
Could I ask several questions about a song, "All About That Bass," please?
Part of the lyrics are as follows:
Yeah, it’s pretty clear, I ain’t no size two
But I can shake it, shake it, like I’m supposed to do
‘Cause I got that boom boom that all the boys chase
And all the right junk in all the right places
Q1: What does "shake it" in line 2 mean?
Q2: Could you tell me how to pronounce the vowel in the word "boom" in line 3? In dictionary, it shows that it should be pronounced as the vowel as in the word "tool", but the singer seemed to pronounce it as the vowel as in the word "bone."
Which one is correct?
Q3: What does "junk" in line 4 mean?
I see the magazine workin’ that Photoshop
We know that *** ain’t real, come on now, make it stop
If you got beauty, beauty, just raise ’em up
‘Cause every inch of you is perfect from the bottom to the top
Q4: What does "raise ’em up" here mean?
Thank you.

Q1. This means she's overweight, but she can walk with a seductive swagger that attracts male attention.
Q2. "Boom" rhymes with "room." But it can be pronounced in various alternate ways depending on the context. Here, to sound more seductive, she apparently pronounces it with a longer o, to rhyme with "Rome."
Q3. This means she's overweight but has a lot of "padding" in all
