Overall Meaning

The lyrics of "Problem Parody" by Bart Baker is a satirical take on the music industry, where the performers portrayed in the song parody the original artists, Iggy Azalea and Ariana Grande. The song begins with Iggy Azalea, who is dressed in feminine clothing but looks like a man, lamenting about her problem. Ariana Grande makes an appearance and sings about her oversexualized dancing and short skirt, making her feel like she is naked. The lyrics point out the industry's objectification of young female artists and the skewed perception of female beauty as defined by the industry.


The video also features a random black guy, King Bach, complaining about the continuous zooming in on his teeth, and others making fun of Ariana's voice, copying Mariah Carey. The satirical portrayal of the music industry also features the Starbucks workers rejecting Ariana Grande and replacing her with Ariana Venti, further pointing out the industry's commercialization of music.


Overall, "Problem Parody" is a satirical take on the music industry, highlighting the objectification and commercialization of young, female artists.


Line by Line Meaning

It's Iggy Iggz I look like a dude dressed as a girl
I am Iggy Azalea and I look like a man dressed up as a woman.


That's a major problem.
This is a significant issue.


Hey kids remember me from Nickelodeon I got thin but don't worry I'm still just as dumb actually more cause I'm vegan.
Do you remember me from Nickelodeon? I lost weight, but please don't worry, I'm still not smart, and I think I'm even less intelligent now that I'm vegan.


When my body's sideways you cannot see me all this over sexual dancing just doesn't suit me I look like I'm 10 my skirt's so short I might as well be naked all of my views are horny dudes spankin'
When my body is turned to the side, I am so skinny that I disappear. I am uncomfortable with my overtly sexual dancing and it makes me look like a prepubescent child. My skirt is so short that I am nearly naked, and all of my views come from men who are masturbating to my videos.


random black guy whispering I'm a random black whispering why is this so zoomed in on my teeth? Can you please zoom out dude?
There is a random black guy whispering, who wonders why the camera is so close to his teeth. He politely requests the camera operator to zoom out.


Zoom back in!
Please zoom the camera back in.


There's broccoli stuck in my teeth I got rib meat stuck between my teeth so please stop zooming in on my teeth
There is food stuck in my teeth, and I am uncomfortable with the camera being so close to my mouth filming it.


Big Sean you need to start flossin' I swear I'm totally unique nobody's like me
Big Sean, you need to floss your teeth because hygiene is essential. I believe that I am one of a kind and that nobody is like me.


Girl please that's not true! Your voice is a damn carbon copy of Mariah Carey
Sorry, but that is not correct; your singing voice is remarkably similar to that of Mariah Carey.


Hey screw you!
I do not appreciate your remark, and I wish to express my disapproval.


What he said is a fact bitch just admit that you're clearly trying to steal my massive appeal
What he said is accurate, and you should acknowledge that you are attempting to take advantage of my incredible popularity.


Aren't you 82?
Are you not 82 years old?


I can sing higher
I have the ability to sing at even greater heights.


Oh yeah? Prove grandma!
If you think you can sing higher, please demonstrate it.


Ahhhaaaaaaa
A screaming sound.


Aaahhhhaaa
Another screaming sound.


Stop!
Please cease whatever activity is ongoing.


Stop zooming in on my mouth I am getting really annoyed now that's it I'm pulling my piece out zoom in one more time I dare you!
The constant close-ups of my mouth are bothering me, and I am extremely irritated. So much so, that I am going to show you my gun. If you zoom in one more time, I challenge you to do so.


It's Iggy Iggz hu my balls just dropped wake up in the morning dip my face in a plate of cream, this set looks like a Tim Burton sex dream My hair is bigger than my huge butt in this video.
I am Iggy Azalea, and my voice sounds as if I am rapping through a hole in my throat. I just experienced my voice deepening due to puberty. I wake up every morning and dip my face in a plate of cream to maintain my beauty. This set design looks eerie and uncomfortable, like the interior of a Tim Burton movie. My hair is massive; it is larger than my posterior.


Iggie Iggie too biggie to be confessin' that I'm actually a black dude who into cross dressing' seeing my real face would make you vomit in a bucket I think that dude in the back must've google that shit, didn't have enough make up to cover my black skin so I dug up Steve Jobs' coffin and stole his sweater from him.
I am too famous to admit publicly that I am a black man who is interested in cross-dressing. My true appearance is so abhorrent that it would cause you to vomit. I believe that the person in the background must have researched my ethnicity online. The makeup department could not completely cover my dark complexion, so I stole Steve Jobs' sweater from his grave to wear in this video.


Have you notice the backdrop that's been here along? We've been hypnotizing y'all to like this song like what!
Have you noticed the background that has been appearing in this video? We have been using it subliminally in an attempt to persuade you to appreciate this song.

We are attempting to influence you to purchase this song on iTunes subliminally. Some individuals believe that my name sounds like that of a Starbucks beverage; however, that is because my father is a Grande sized coffee cup.


Sorry Ariana you're through
I am apologizing to Ariana Grande because she is no longer relevant.

You are approaching the age of 22, and you are beginning to age.


And we need someone bigger than you

Wait what the hell are you saying?
Excuse me, please repeat what you just said; I am confused by your statement.


You need to get an upgrade
You need to improve your relevance.
