    Merril Bainbridge – Mouth

    Want to request a song? Tell us your rating? Send us a Text Message right now! Merril Bainbridge insists Mouth isn’t really a sex song. We have some questions. This week we go back to 1994 and discover that Mouth is significantly stranger than any of us remembered. There are salty lips, people being blown apart, mysterious pieces, slapping, jumping on each other, turning people upside down and an alarming amount of discussion about bodily fluids. We also find out how Mouth went from a failed single to a massive international hit, how John Farnham helped launch Merril’s career, why Gav absolutely hated this song before the episode started, and whether he somehow managed to talk himself into liking it by the end. Plus, we decide the best song of 1994, Bevo fights Merril Bainbridge, and Mac Tango might have accidentally found its next cover. Think you know music? Every Friday, Tower Of Music puts your music knowledge to the test. Guess the artists. Spot the clues. Beat the hosts. Play along and see if you can make it to the top of the tower.

    Adele – Someone Like You

    Want to request a song? Tell us your rating? Send us a Text Message right now! Adele’s Someone Like You is supposed to be one of the great heartbreak songs of all time. But when you actually read the lyrics, things start getting a little weird. Your ex has moved on. He’s married. His dreams have come true. So naturally, the only reasonable thing to do is turn up at his house uninvited and remind him that, for you, the relationship isn’t over. This week we get into Adele’s questionable breakup strategy, hunt for the Aldi version of an ex-boyfriend, discuss whether his lifelong dream was simply riding the London Eye with a curry, discover the strange connection between this song and Charlie Puth, and investigate the conspiracy that Adele and Sam Smith might actually be the same person. Plus: 2011’s biggest songs go head-to-head, we guess Adele’s net worth, and Mad Dog has to fight 2011 Adele. Someone Like You. Never mind. Think you know music?

    Sugar, Sugar – The Archies | 1001 Songs That Make You Want To Die

    Want to request a song? Tell us your rating? Send us a Text Message right now! The biggest song of 1969 was made by a band that didn’t even exist. This week we’re taking on “Sugar, Sugar” by The Archies, the cartoon bubblegum-pop juggernaut that somehow conquered the entire planet. We investigate whether Big Sugar was secretly running the music industry, discover that Apollo 12 astronauts were apparently dancing to this thing on their way to the Moon, delve into the incredible career of songwriter Jeff Barry and meet a man who willingly called himself Baron Longfellow. Then Gavin gets transported into Riverdale to fight The Archies, and we attempt an absolutely brutal One Has to Stay: 1969 edition featuring Elvis, Sinatra, Led Zeppelin, The Beatles, Jackson 5, Creedence Clearwater Revival, The Rolling Stones and more. And eventually, somehow, we actually review the song.

This week we dive into Nick's post-Jessica Simpson heartbreak anthem, debate whether the lyrics are emotional or just pathetic, accidentally convince ourselves it's about crystal meth, and imagine what happens when Mad Dog gets into a completely fictional fight with Nick at a charity sporting event.

    KATSEYE – Gnarly | AI Pop? Product Placement? Or Just... Gnarly? | 1001 Songs That Make You Want To Die

    Want to request a song? Tell us your rating? Send us a Text Message right now! This week we're diving into Gnarly by KATSEYE, the global girl group created through Netflix and the K-pop machine. From endless "gnarlys" to product placement for fried chicken, Tesla and Takis, we try to figure out whether this song is genius, garbage... or something that wasn't written by humans at all. We also discuss:  Is KATSEYE actually AI?  Why does every member sound exactly the same?  The billionaire behind the music  The weirdest fight simulation we've ever done  Why the New York Times ranked this as one of the best songs of 2025 Plus Bevo steps into the Fight Wheel against six perfectly synchronised pop stars...

    Bonnie Tyler's "Total Eclipse of the Heart" Has Actual Cannon Fire (And Somehow Gets Even Weirder)

    Want to request a song? Tell us your rating? Send us a Text Message right now! Bonnie Tyler's Total Eclipse of the Heart is one of the biggest power ballads ever recorded... but when you actually listen to the lyrics, things get very strange. This week we discuss listening to the sound of your own tears, living inside a powder keg, whether the song is secretly about a baby, why there are actual cannon blasts in the recording, and whether Bevo could survive a fight against 1983 Bonnie Tyler. Along the way, we accidentally end up talking about Rory Dodd, TikTok crying channels, giant babies, and one of the greatest backing vocal performances ever recorded. Think you know music?
