If they polished this up somewhat, it would be a winner.

First of all, find a genre and stick to it. Jumping genres is distracting. Then they need some serious mixing because her bass is almost invisible. Both the piano and percussion need some muting.

Can barely hear the bass in that arrangement.

Nonetheless, she made a fairly crass song sound classy.

I thought the same thing. It's remarkable how a tasteful jazz arrangement, performed by musicians who can actually play—not to mention sing like they don't have a mouth full of pebbles—makes the crass sound, well, coy.

“Nonetheless, she made a fairly crass song sound classy.”

The original version is certainly crass in terms of its lyrics and presentation, but “All About That Bass” is an unusually well-crafted pop song by today’s standards. This is why it works so well as a jazz tune.
