208 - Cherry Pie

December 16th, 2024  |  53 mins 31 secs

cherry pie, homoerotocism, licking the beater, warrant, water

The guys talk about the Warrant hit single that almost never was: Cherry Pie. Written at the last moment and changing the course of direction for the band, this song is riddled with terrible lyrics that sound like they were written by a bunch of horny 20-something year olds... oh wait.

207 - Abracadabra

December 9th, 2024  |  1 hr 1 min

Seth and Marc pull the lyrics for Steve Miller Band's Abracadabra out of a big ol' hat to talk about how terrible they are. Apparently about a variety of things including Diana Ross, the Original Amateur Hour, and panties with angels' faces on them, this song is a doozy. Unfortunately, they are not able to make them disappear.

206 - Keep On Loving You

December 2nd, 2024  |  56 mins 15 secs

divorce, hissing, infidelity, keep on loving you, reo speedwagon, snakes

The guys get into the depths of the lyrics to REO Speedwagon's monster ballad Keep On Loving You. Known for its chorus proclaiming a never-ending love, the verses tell a much bleaker story that is often overshadowed.

205 - You Can Call Me Al

November 25th, 2024  |  1 hr 32 mins

african music, apartheid, art garfunkel, chevy chase, graceland, introspection, paul simon, you can call me al

A monster-sized episode! The guys are back after a mini vacation and have the immense joy to talk about the did-you-know-ness of You Can Call Me Al. How deep can a song with Chevy Chase lip sync-ing the lyrics in the music video get? You be the judge. Also, a big announcement!

204 - Cheap Sunglasses

November 18th, 2024  |  43 mins 21 secs

cheap sunglasses, deguello, eyewear, molasses, sweaters, thick black frames, zz top

The guys listen to the 1979 ZZ Top ode to shitty eyewear... Cheap Sunglasses. Partially about the titular glasses, it's also about stalking a woman because hey! Why not?

203 - Fireflies

November 11th, 2024  |  45 mins 9 secs

fireflies, foxtrot, insomnia, lightning bugs, owl city, sock hop

Seth and Marc would like to make themselves believe... that these lyrics are not complete ass. The guys stay up late poring over the lyrics to the nonsense insomniac diddy Fireflies by Owl City. A song about getting hugs ad learning to dance from bugs. Okay...

202 - Amber

November 4th, 2024  |  55 mins 3 secs

311, amber, aura, frat guys, from chaos, mood rings

Woooaaah! Seth and Marc struggle to find the real message behind the 311 reggae rock ballad Amber. With lyrics that sound like they were made up on the fly by a horny frat guy trying to get some strange, are we just wasting our time? Probably

201 - Little Red Corvette

October 28th, 2024  |  56 mins

cars, condoms, little red corvette, prince, princetober, women, women as cars

Seth and Marc finish out Princetober with Princes first hit: Little Red Corvette. Yet another episode that compares women to cars and then about having sex with them. But this time, with a little bit of horse imagery as well to make it extra weird.

200 - Work That Fat

October 21st, 2024  |  1 hr 18 mins

chubby chasing, diamond and pearls, new power generation, objectification, prince, prince and the new power generation, work that fat

Seth and Marc celebrate episode 200 in the midst of Princetober with the very troublesome Work That Fat. This isn't a single and, in some ways, it's barely a song. A voice-altered Prince makes a bunch of middle school jokes at a fat woman's expense while also saying how much he loves fat women. Yikes.

199 - Gett Off

October 14th, 2024  |  1 hr 23 mins

diamonds and pearls, gett off, prince, princetober, rumors, solicitation

Princetober continues with The Guys about Gett Off, a song about a rumor Prince heard about the last time a woman had sex. Seems kind of rude, but it prompts him to let her know that people are talking about her... which also seems a little weird.

198 - Sister

October 7th, 2024  |  46 mins 5 secs

dirty mind, incest, prince, princetober, sister, statutory incest rape, statutory rape

Seth and Marc kick off Princetober with his very controversial and very punky song Sister. If you know anything about Prince's hypersexuality, the title should worry you... and with good reason.

197 - Kokomo

September 30th, 2024  |  1 hr 9 mins

afternoon sex, carbibean islands, cocktail, kokomo, the beach boys, various vacation spots

This week, Seth and Marc grab a couple of parasols and head down to everyone's favorite destination: Kokomo! A fall from grace from the band that brought us one of the best albums in pop music history, this piece of hot trash is on many lists of worst songs... and the lyrics are definitely a part of that equation.

196 - Got My Mind Set On You

September 23rd, 2024  |  56 mins 57 secs

george harrison, got my mind set on you, james ray, money, obsession, precious time, rudy clark, spending money, stalker, time

Seth and Marc get deep into the psyche of an obsessive man depraved of love with the song Got My Mind Set On You as made famous by ex-Beatle George Harrison. Originally written by Rudy Clark and first covered by James Ray, when you start to do some digging, the lyrics bring about more questions than they answer.

195 - Wonderwall

September 16th, 2024  |  1 hr 15 mins

britpop, ex-girlfriend hatred, gaslighting, morning glory, oasis, what's the story, wonderwall

The guys bring on dear friend and resident Liam Gallagher hater Fletcher to work through the hit song Wonderwall. A song that was and then was not about Liam's then-girlfriend, the meaning was changed to be about an invisible friend that he's gaslighting... but no one is buying it. Least of all us.

194 - Holy Diver

September 9th, 2024  |  1 hr 11 mins

black sabbath, catholicism, dio, elf, holy diver, rainbow, ronnie james dio, snapped chains

Seth and Marc invite past guest favorite Doug (and Rebecca!) to discuss the strangely religious Holy Diver by Dio. Tigers and stripes and hearts and a midnight sea. What the hell?

193 - Muskrat Love

September 2nd, 2024  |  58 mins 7 secs

america, captain and tennille, muskrat fucking, muskrat love, muskrat sex, willis alan ramsay

Seth and Marc invite favorite guest Jamie to talk about a song written Willis Alan Ramsay, covered with moderate success by America, and then covered with much greater success by Captain and Tennille... we are, of course, talking about Muskrat Love. One of the only hit songs about a rodent, and the only song about muskrats fucking.
