Lyrics To Go Lyrics To Go
-
- Music
Lyrics to Go is a show about bad song lyrics. Listen in as music geeks Marc Davis, Seth Ford and guests discuss songs with terrible, misunderstood or confusing lyrics.
-
182 - Turning Japanese
Marc and Seth dig into what it means to be Turning Japanese as sung by The Vapors. Rife with stereotypes in both music AND music video, the guys talk about the creepy lyrics and the line between paying homage to a culture and shitting all over it.
-
181 - Greased Lightning
Seth and Marc throw on some white t-shirts, slick their pompadours up with some pomade, and look under the hood of the musical-turned-hit-single Greased Lightning. Watch out if the kids are in the car as these lyrics contain some pretty strange sexual terms and complete lack of knowledge about cars.
-
180 - That Summer
Seth basks in the glory of country music and Marc sits idly by as they dissect the lyrics to the predatory That Summer by Garth Brooks. Listen to the tale of Ol' Leatherhands and what she does to a teenage boy.
-
178 - Bad Medicine
Seth and Marc need 10cc's of medical knowledge given to Bon Jovi STAT! The guys try to figure out what makes medicine "bad," why no one else is able to help the narrator, and discuss fake endings.
-
177 - High Hopes
Marc and Seth invite guest and dear friend Mike to look through the unrecommended-history-laden lyrics of High Hopes by Panic! At The Disco. What's worse: Making people who never made it feel like absolute trash or bringing up Manifest Destiny?
Special Guest: Mike Cosden. -
176 - Mmmbop
The guys dismantle a song that was described as "unintelligible" by one critic; Hanson's breakaway single Mmmbop. A mixture of "did you know" and "these lyrics were written by teenagers," we discuss how good they sound now and the possibilities of knowing which flowers you're planting.
