    Episode 033 - Loser

    Ah, memories. We all suspected this was a jumble of thrown-together words, but is there anything to it in fact? Only Beck may know for sure, but we're damn sure going to try to figure it out! In case you are a perdedor and forgot what the song sounds like: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YgSPaXgAdzE

    Episode 032 - Blinded By The Light

    It has nothing to do with wrapping, it has nothing to do with douches, but lord knows what it actually has to do with. This week we try to get to the bottom of whatever Bruce Springsteen and Manfred Mann were thinking of! Manfred Mann's version: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=33ptulhhQPg Bruce Springsteen's version: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7Iaca30QbOo

    Episode 031 - Sentence Communted Pt 3

    Time for another examination of some songs we really love! Sit back and enjoy as we delve into the weird and wonderful world of Cyndi Lauper and Talking Heads! Here's Part 1 of the Goonies video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LxLhytQ67fs ...and if you're a completionist, here's part 2 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5h6YJIzfpKg And here's the video for (Nothing But) Flowers https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2twY8YQYDBE

    Episode 030 - Even Flow

    Time to go back to the Grungy '90s with Pearl Jam's ass-kicker Even Flow. Come along with us as we put ourselves in the body of an insane homeless person! Good times! Here's the video (I hope Josh didn't lose his job) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CxKWTzr-k6s

    Episode 029 - It's the End of the World

    Feeling pretty psyched about this random jumble of word salad! We're experiencing the end of the world, so we might as well listen to a song about it! Leonard Bernstein! Here's a link to the song. Enjoy. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZyhrYis509A

    Episode 028 - Barbie Girl

    This week we sink our teeth into the poppiest, bubble-gummiest, butt-clenching-iest piece of fluff pop to ever come out of Denmark! Come on, Barbie, let's go party! Here's a link to the song (although no one will blame you for not wanting to listen to this ever again): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZyhrYis509A

    Episode 027 - Dont Fear the Reaper

    Happy Halloween everyone! It's time to get spooky with the Blue Oyster Cult! Please enjoy, and I mean it this time! Here's the song in all it's umlaut-y goodness! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Dy4HA3vUv2c And just in case you need more cowbell... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cVsQLlk-T0s

  8. 10/23/2020

    Episode 026 - Shake Rattle & Roll

    It's an oldie, but a goodie! Also, probably a bit misogynistic. And bullying. And gross. But hey, there are a couple of versions of this song, BOTH of which, we'll tackle on this episode! Enjoy! Big Joe Turner's version: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y9wTQsAgktg Bill Haley's version: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8B7xr_EjbzE
