The might not have made it to the Eurovision stage for a second time but The Mamas are still going strong.
Watch: Itsy Bitsy Teenie Weenie Yellow Polka Dot Bikini – The Mamas
Today they’ve released a cover version of Itsy Bitsy Teenie Weenie Yellow Polka Dot Bikini, explaining this decision the Mamas said:
Even though it’s a song with playful lyrics wrapped in a fun summery beat, it comes with an important message about the journey from body shaming to body positivity; a modern take on a classic tale of the perfect beauty standards and impossible societal norms that affect our confidence, image and self-worth, and how to break away from them. From “in the locker she wanted to stay”, to “showing her curves, honey she came to SLAY!”
Of course there are plenty of cover versions of this iconic summer anthem already, with perhaps the best known being released in the UK by Bombalurina – a side project of television presenter Timmy Mallett and It’s My Time-composer Andrew Lloyd-Webber.
The song is available to stream on Spotify.
