(WASHINGTON, DC) — Arab-American standup comedian Remy Munasifi, also known as “GoRemy” on his YouTube channel, released a new video called “All About That Paste,” a parody of Meghan Trainor’s hit song, “All About That Bass.”
Born in Washington to an Iraqi father and a Lebanese mother, Munasifi gained internet popularity after uploading several comedic sketches that focus on Arab life in the United States.
Watch him bring Tabbouleh back:
LYRICS:
Because you know
I’m all about that paste
’bout that paste
that hummus
Yeah it’s pretty clear
this ain’t no Thai food
but I can dip it, dip it
when I would like, dude
It’s got tahini, an Arab-like taste,
and all the right oil in all the right places
You said you get your hummus
down at the corner shop?
You know that dish ain’t real, habibi
Make it stop
Ain’t got enough tahini?
You toss it back
But every other kind is tasty
from Beirut on to Iraq
I said my Momma she told me
don’t worry about your thighs
She told me eat some tabbouleh with it
and you’ll be alright
(tabbouleh-bouleh)
(no booty-booty)
You know you won’t see me eating from
silicone hummus cups
So if that’s what you’re into then
go ahead and move along
Remy Remz and I’m back again
Don’t know who I am? Baby, ask your friends
If they say they don’t know? Better ask again
They still don’t know? I guess that makes sense…
If you suspect that the content is teeny
Go to the lab and check the tahini
Never dip a carrot or tortilla
Hummus is like Katniss: it needs pita.
I brought tabbouleh back
You tell your skinny sandwiches that
You think it’s tasty but it’s really bad
But I’m here to tell you
Every kind of it is tasty
from Beirut on to Iraq
I said my momma she told me
don’t worry about your thighs
She said that girls will not like you
does not matter what your size
(that’s kind of spooky)
(why’d you tell that to me?)
No you won’t see me eating from
silicone hummus cups
So if that’s what you’re into then
go ahead and move along
