In the Mom On Pop podcast, Bonney Teti—mother of A.V. Club senior editor John Teti—shares her unfiltered thoughts on the pop culture of the day.
For this edition of the podcast, Mom and I look back at the butt-related music videos of 2014. From Taylor Swift’s “Shake It Off,” which treats bouncing derrieres as just one of many trends that Swift must navigate, to Jennifer Lopez’s “Booty,” which has more butts than brains, we assess the state of the rear end as it closes out one of its biggest years ever.

Nicki Minaj, “Anaconda”:
Jennifer Lopez (feat. Iggy Azalea), “Booty”:
Meghan Trainor, “All About That Bass”:
Basement Jaxx (feat. ETML), “Never Say Never”:
Mastodon, “The Motherload”:
