#because so often fat people are viewed as unlovable especially by thinner people

[fatphobiabusters]

This is a really great fat positive song. The two people in this video are a couple and they made this song based on their relationship. I don't know the identities of Olivia Barton (the person on the left). The singer on the right, corook, identifies as nonbinary and queer and goes by they/them. Apparently this song was viral on TikTok earlier this year, but I don't use TikTok, so I only just learned of this song. The song was so viral though that it was played on radio stations and written about in news articles. I'm glad that such a fat positive song was so widespread!

I'll put the lyrics of the song under the read more for anyone who wants them.

Lyrics:

If I were a fish and you caught me

You'd say "Look at that fish"

Shimmering in the sun

Such a rare one

Can't believe that you caught one

If I were a fish and you caught me

You'd say "Look at that fish"

Heaviest in the sea

You'd win first prize

If you caught me

Why's everybody on the internet so mean?

Why's everybody so afraid of what they've never seen?

If I was scrolling through and I saw me

Flopping around and singing my song

I'd say "Damn, they're cute" and sing along

If I were a rock you would pick me up

And say "That's a nice rock"

Skippiest on the lake

Plop, plop, plop

I'm the perfect shape

And if I were a sock you would put me on

And say "That's a nice sock"

Happiest as a pair

I found you now I'm not scared

Why's everybody on the internet so mean?

Why's everybody so afraid of what they've never seen?

If I was scrolling through and I saw me

Flopping around and singing my song

I'd say "Damn, they're cute" and sing along

How lucky are we?

Of all the fish in the sea?

You get to be you

And I get to be me

Just let 'em be mean

We're as free as can be

To be the you-est of you

And the me-ist of me

If I were a fish

Doo doo doo doo doo doo doo doo doo doo

If I were a fish

Doo doo doo doo doo doo doo doo doo doo

If I were a fish

Doo doo doo doo doo doo doo doo doo doo

If I were a fish

Doo doo doo doo doo doo doo doo doo doo
