It is possible that Derulo attempted to accomplish the same thing by realizing that what he just said to a woman was ridiculous.
According to Robin James’ “All Your B/Ass are Belong to Us”, Minaj sings, “Yeah, he looooves this fat ass”, which is followed by a cackle to reinforce the sarcasm she used when delivering that lyric.
Perhaps Derulo was trying to accomplish what Nicki Minaj did in her hit “Anaconda”. It starts out, “Hey, yo, Jason/Say somethin’ to her/Holla at her/I got one question/How do you fit all that in them jeans?/(laughs)” and the laugh is to not go unnoticed. Derulo objectifies women’s bodies from the beginning of the song until the very end. Similar to Sir Mix-a-Lot’s “Baby Got Back”, “Wiggle” is a catchy, popular song, that flies under the radar in terms of being sexist.
This 2014 hit is catchy but it is also incredibly sexist which is why I wish people still remembered this song–so society can realize how its music affects all people. “Wiggle” by Jason Derulo is one of those songs that most people have probably forgotten about by now.
