    boner, boners, bump and grind, next, too close

    Seth and Marc bump and grind to the late 90's boner-themed Too Close by Next. How did anyone take this song seriously?! A song about getting a hard on from dancing close to a woman who then tells him "enough is enough."

  • 191 - Electric Avenue

    August 19th, 2024  |  1 hr 15 mins
    crooked police, eddy grant, electric avenue, jamaican british, margaret thatcher, racism

    Seth and Marc get very deep into the history of Eddy Grant's hit Electric Avenue after a few suggestions from listeners.... and boy, what a background it is. A tale that starts in the 1940s and culminates in a bop with some questionable rhyme schemes.

  • 190 - Liquid Dreams

    August 12th, 2024  |  1 hr 28 mins
    conspiracy theories, emissions in general, hospital visits, liquid dreams, lou pearlman, nocturnal emissions, o-town, orgasm, otown, tlc

    A super-size episode! Seth and Marc invite past guests Kristin and Fletcher to talk about the boy band orgasm anthem Liquid Dreams. We discuss whether this song is exclusively about wet dreams, how long it would take of constant coming until you went to the hospital, and Seth's INSANE take on the catalyst for this song.

  • 189 - This Is A Call

    August 5th, 2024  |  1 hr 7 mins
    dave grohl, fingernails, foo fighters, minocin, nirvana, ritalin, this is a call, visiting

    This one's a head scratcher... but is it with good reason? The guys dig deep into the half-assed lyrics for the first Foo Fighters' single This Is A Call looking for some meaning.

  • 188 - All About That Bass

    July 29th, 2024  |  1 hr 12 mins
    all about that bass, body negativity, body positivity, kevin kadish, meghan trainor

    A song that's been sitting on The List for a while, Seth and Marc get into the good and the bad of All About That Bass by Meghan Trainor. A song that is championed by the songwriters as a banner for body positivity, The Guys take a look at why it's positive and what's left over.

  • 187 - Goodbye Earl

    July 22nd, 2024  |  1 hr 5 mins
    country twang, domestic abuse, goodbye earl, revenge, the chicks, the dixie chicks

    Marc and Seth cleanse themselves of the grossness of last week by talking through the lyrics to Goodbye Earl by the (Dixie) Chicks! The guys have a discussion about country music, how good The Chicks are, and ask the question... did Earl HAVE to die?

  • 186 - Do You Wanna Touch Me? (Oh Yeah!)

    July 15th, 2024  |  1 hr 9 mins
    do you wanna touch me, gary glitter, glam, glam rock, pedophile, yikes

    The guys talk about Garry Glitter's single Do You Wanna Touch Me? (Oh Yeah!) Already creepy on its own, when you read about the laundry list of awful things he did it feels even worse. How high will this one rate on the Creep Factor? Pretty damn high.

  • 185 - This Is Why I'm Hot

    July 8th, 2024  |  1 hr 14 mins
    mims, mr. mims, this is why i'm hot, unnecessary rudeness

    Seth and Marc go through the daunting task of reading through all three verses of MiMS' breakout hit This Is Why I'm Hot. SPOILER ALERT: Why is he hot? Simple.... because he is.

  • 184 - Do Me!

    July 1st, 2024  |  59 mins 44 secs
    bell biv devoe, do me, do me!, statutory rape, tantric sex

    Davis Ford take on the troublesome lyrics of Bell Biv DeVoe's Do Me! (replete with exclamation mark) A "song about sex" according to Billboard, the ex-New Edition members Trojan-Horsed a very troubling bit in the second verse allegedly written by a very famous rapper.

  • 183 - Unborn Child

    June 24th, 2024  |  1 hr 11 mins
    abortion rights, emotional manipulation, roe v wade, seals and crofts, unborn child

    Seth and Marc battle head-on against James and Dash (better known as Seals & Crofts) as they discuss the song Unborn Child. Based off of a poem written by a producers wife, the easy rock duo sing to a fetus that can't hear them and be really fucking shitty.

  • 182 - Dirty Work

    June 17th, 2024  |  1 hr 15 mins
    adultery, chess, dirty work, donald fagan, steely dan, the dan, walter becker

    Marc and Seth have a little too much fun talking about the lyrics to Steely Dan's non-single but single-esque Dirty Work. This one was an editing nightmare and it's still over an hour. What is this dirty work they're speaking of?

  • 181 - Turning Japanese

    June 10th, 2024  |  1 hr 27 mins
    i really think so, racism, sixteen candles, the vapors, the vapours, turning japanese

    Marc and Seth dig into what it means to be Turning Japanese as sung by The Vapors. Rife with stereotypes in both music AND music video, the guys talk about the creepy lyrics and the line between paying homage to a culture and shitting all over it.

  • 180 - Greased Lightning

    June 3rd, 2024  |  1 hr 6 mins
    back problems, grease, grease the movie, grease the musical, john travolta, pain pill addiction

    Seth and Marc throw on some white t-shirts, slick their pompadours up with some pomade, and look under the hood of the musical-turned-hit-single Greased Lightning. Watch out if the kids are in the car as these lyrics contain some pretty strange sexual terms and complete lack of knowledge about cars.

  • 179 - That Summer

    May 27th, 2024  |  1 hr 27 mins
    chris gaines, country music, garth brooks, improper workplace etiquette, leather hands, power imbalance, that summer, the chase

    Seth basks in the glory of country music and Marc sits idly by as they dissect the lyrics to the predatory That Summer by Garth Brooks. Listen to the tale of Ol' Leatherhands and what she does to a teenage boy.

  • 178 - Bad Medicine

    May 20th, 2024  |  1 hr 18 mins
    bad medicine, bon jovi, jon bongiovi, new jersey, terrible medical analogies

    Seth and Marc need 10cc's of medical knowledge given to Bon Jovi STAT! The guys try to figure out what makes medicine "bad," why no one else is able to help the narrator, and discuss fake endings.

  • 177 - High Hopes

    May 13th, 2024  |  1 hr 19 mins
    brendon urie, capitalism run amok, high holes, mainfest destiny, panic at the disco, panic! at the disco, the crusades

    Marc and Seth invite guest and dear friend Mike to look through the unrecommended-history-laden lyrics of High Hopes by Panic! At The Disco. What's worse: Making people who never made it feel like absolute trash or bringing up Manifest Destiny?
