    The Pointer Sisters – Jump (For My Love): Horny Lyrics, Cocaine & A Hockey Stick

    Want to request a song? Tell us your rating? Send us a Text Message right now! The Pointer Sisters – Jump (For My Love) It's 1984, the cocaine is flowing, and The Pointer Sisters have one very simple demand: if you want their love, you'd better start f*****g jumping. This week, Chibbs, Bevo, Gav and Mad Dog tackle Jump (For My Love), a song that somehow combines sexual tension, aggressive physical exercise and the threat of being felt up by three incredibly enthusiastic women. We investigate why Van Halen forced the sisters to change the song's name, how Julio Iglesias nearly ended up with this disco banger, and why Hugh Grant insisted on dancing to it in Love Actually. There's also a disturbing amount of discussion about what kisses taste like, a deep dive into the Pointer Sisters' chaotic personal lives, and Chibbs being transported back to 1984 to fight all three sisters armed with nothing but a hockey stick. Will he survive? And can a song this good really make anyone want to die? Listen now to 1001 Songs That Make You Want To Die.

    Owl City – Fireflies: 10 Million Bugs, One Very Dark Jar

    Want to request a song? Tell us your rating? Send us a Text Message right now! This week we’re taking on Fireflies by Owl City, the 2009 synth-pop hit that somehow made insomnia, ten million glowing insects and one bloke with a laptop into a worldwide phenomenon. With Chibbs away, Bevo takes over the host chair as Gav and Mad Dog try to work out what Adam Young is actually talking about. Why are the fireflies crying? How exactly do 10,000 lightning bugs give you 1,000 hugs? Why is the Earth apparently turning too slowly? And most importantly — why is he keeping some of the fireflies in a jar? We also get into the ridiculous production behind the song, Owl City’s unlikely rise, whether Bevo could beat Adam Young in a fight, and one of the biggest disagreements we’ve had over a song in a long time. Turns out one man’s unbearable 2009 cringe is another man’s guilty pleasure. Think you know music? Every Friday, Tower Of Music puts your music knowledge to the test. Guess the artists.

    Hoobastank – Crawling in the Dark: Gacy’s Crawl Space

    Want to request a song? Tell us your rating? Send us a Text Message right now! This week we're crawling back to 2001 for Hoobastank's debut single “Crawling in the Dark.” On paper, it’s peak early-2000s rock. Big riff. Huge chorus. Doug Robb sounding like he’s fighting for his life. Then we actually read the lyrics. Why is he crawling? Why is it dark? Why won’t he turn the f*****g light on? And why does the whole thing start sounding suspiciously like someone desperately trying to escape John Wayne Gacy’s crawl space? Elsewhere, Mad Dog somehow identifies a Finnish man purely by looking at his name; we discover the forgotten rollerblading video game Aggressive Inline, and Gav prepares for a four-on-one fight against 2001 Hoobastank using nothing but two blades, complete nudity and an irresponsible amount of grapeseed oil. It makes sense in context. Sort of. Follow 1001 Songs That Make You Want To Die wherever you get podcasts. New episodes every Monday. Tower of Music every Friday on YouTube.

    Rod Stewart – Da Ya Think I’m Sexy?

    Want to request a song? Tell us your rating? Send us a Text Message right now! Rod Stewart wants to know if you think he’s sexy. Unfortunately for Rod, he asked us. This week we head back to 1978 for Da Ya Think I’m Sexy?, a song involving nervous strangers, a high-rise apartment, no milk, no coffee and possibly the least seductive sentence ever written into a hit single: “Give me a dime so I can phone my mother.” We also uncover the absolutely insane career of producer Tom Dowd, investigate the legendary Rod Stewart stomach-pump story, find out why the song may have originally been taking the piss out of disco, blind-rank six huge songs from 1978 and send Mad Dog back in time to physically fight a 33-year-old Rod Stewart. And somehow that isn't even all of it.
