Episode 6 - Party Anthems What the Lyric

    • Music Commentary

Episode 6 - Party Anthems.  This episode Becky and Matthew talk about what makes a Party Anthem.  Is it the repetitive lyrics?  A good dance beat?  Or perhaps just a call to get drunk and rowdy.  One song is from the 1987 (guess who's pick that was) and the other song is from 2009.

BECKY 0:07 
Welcome to what the lyric, the podcast that confirms Yeah, that actually made it to radio.
 
BECKY 0:22 
Well hello everybody welcome to what the lyric, today we're talking party anthems. Again I took that to mean any song that everyone will sing along to. Or like the end all be all karaoke because there's always those karaoke songs that everyone busts out or the end of the night the drunkies all sing together slurred speech and all
 
MATTHEW 0:50 
Now tell me what is your familiarity with parties slash karaoke?
 
BECKY 0:56 
Uh, not really karaoke so much but I have I've been to a number of parties in my day, mostly in my younger days. I don't do like the parties, you know, much.
 
MATTHEW 1:07
You don’t get swasted?
 
BECKY 1:09
Oh god, no. If I get wasted now it takes me like a week to recover. We went to go, a friend of mine and I went to go see a show. We each had one drink. The show is on a Thursday night when it was like a beer because we're not that kind of people. Show is on a Thursday night, we both walked into work the next day, and we're like, we should have taken today off.
 
BECKY 1:31 
That's how bad it was. So yeah,
 
MATTHEW 1:35 
Well, well done
 
BECKY 1:37 
 Back in the day. I did. I did boot and rally once.
 
MATTHEW 1:41 
No idea what that means.
 
BECKY 1:43 
Oh, so when you boot and rally means you've thrown up. And then you just get right back on the horse and start drinking again.
 
MATTHEW 1:50 
Oh, I see the horse boots ya and you rally,
 
BECKY 1:55 
You boot as in throw up and then you rally and you go back party. That was also the same time that I said, I could totally do a triathlon and then ended up doing having to do a triathlon. Not that same day, but like two years later I yeah.
 
MATTHEW 2:13 
That’s pretty rough.
 
BECKY 2:16 
Yeah, that was about 10 years ago.
 
MATTHEW 2:23 
Nope I’m not a party-er I’m a big old square generally. I just value sleep entirely too much. I love the taste alcohol. And like I'm a generally fun drunk, but my God, that for sleeping is like totally the worst. I'm trying to think of like the worst drunk I've ever been. Well, couple events.
 
BECKY 2:46 
I know. I was like, oh I got a few.
 
MATTHEW 2:49 
I think the dumbest one. I think the one that really encapsulates how I party may actually shape the song that I've chosen is the fact that I got horrifically drunk at Fourth of July like a couple of years ago, also is very stupid.
 
BECKY 3:04 
Please tell me Star Spangled Banner is your song?
 
MATTHEW 3:06 
Yes. No, it's what's the one that everyone has to listen to every Fourth of July. Born in the USA?
 
BECKY 3:13 
Yeah. Oh, fabulous.
 
MATTHEW 3:14
Born in the USA. But really what happened, I am incredibly pale. I lose water like nobody's business there was a rooftop party. They had no water, just alcohol. So for the entire day, I had no water and was only drinking alcohol until like midnight and I'm like, Why do I feel so ill? That's weird. Oh, I'm incredibly dehydrated. And you know, thank God, but I really, as I laid on that cold bathroom tile floor. I was like, I'm going to die here.
 
BECKY 3:50 
Ah, that was me with kidney stones. So I know is the cold floor. And I'm going to die here. But yes, I feel you.
 
BECKY 3:59 
 I feel very sane and I appreciate.
 
BECKY 4:02 
Similar pain Yeah.Oh God never kidney stones.
 
BECKY 4:09 
 I know I have gone
