2015 Grammy Awards Best Song Nominees (If Written by Dogs)

Congratulations to all the songwriters who received Grammy Awards Song of the Year nominations for “All About That Bass,” “Shake It Off,” “Take Me To Church,” “Chandelier” and “Stay With Me (Darkchild Version).”

What if these five songs were written by dogs instead of humans? Why don’t we take a look…

‘All About That Basset Hound’

“Because you know I’m all about that Basset Hound, that Basset Hound, no Terrier
All about that Basset Hound, that Basset Hound, no Terrier
All about that Basset Hound, that Basset Hound, no Terrier” [Repeat over and over. And over.]

‘Shake It Off (Ugh! Baths!)’

“Cause the bather’s gonna bathe, bathe, bathe
And the sprayer’s gonna spray, spray, spray
Puppy I’m just gonna shake, shake, shake
Shake it off”

‘Take Me To Dog Park’

“Take me to dog park
I’ll worship like a…human…at the shrine of your feet
I’ll bark at you and you can throw me the ball
Offer me that yummy yum-yum
Good God, let me give you my leash”

‘Chow Chow Leer’

“I’m gonna wag from the Chow Chow leer, from the Chow Chow leer
I’m gonna live like shelters don’t exist
Like they do not exist”

‘Spay/Snip Me (Shelterdog Version)’

“Won’t you spay/snip me?
‘Cause a puppy ain’t what I need
Pet overpopulation is clear to see
So darling, spay/snip me”
