45 - More Than Words
October 22nd, 2021 | 43 mins 3 secs
blind fetish, extreme, love languages, more than words, pornografitti, word jumble
Marc and Seth talk love languages and confusing sentences in this week's episode with More Than Words. The first verse is like a proverbial maze that winds up with a pretty fruitless ending. This song is like if you took a funk metal band and gave them an acoustic guitar and told them to write a song about love.... oh wait,

44 - One Way Or Another
October 14th, 2021 | 51 mins 10 secs
blondie, getcha, meetcha, one way or another, stalkers, stalking, winya
Seth and Marc come at you with a double banger! Do you know what the words are? AND do you know why they were written? Debbie and a band full of people that aren't blonde are taking you through an 70's-80's power pop stalk fest that changes POV back and forth to get you nice and confused.

43 - The Chair
October 8th, 2021 | 39 mins 40 secs
bumbling doofus, can i drink you a buy, drunk driving, george strait, pov, the chair
Seth feels his oats as he and Marc take on some chart-topping 80's country. The Chair is about as close as you get to a choose-your-own-adventure awkward pick up situation. The music video is basically POV porn with everything except the porn. The whole thing is bumbling and the "reveal" is the biggest let down since Titanic. Strait trash.

42 - My Sharona
October 1st, 2021 | 35 mins 27 secs
80's dating culture, my sharona, pederast, preatory behavoir, the knack, yikes
Oohhhhh my little creepy one, my gross-ass one. Marc and Seth peel back the 80's power-pop shine of The Knack's 1979 hit My Sharona. It's catchy, it's got a great beat, and it tells the real story about a guy relentlessly pursuing a girl 8 years younger than him while both people are in relationships until she caves and dates you. MY YI YI YI YI WOOO!

41 - The Warrior
September 24th, 2021 | 38 mins 49 secs
bang bang, finger guns, not patty smith, patty smyth, scandal, stereo jungle child, the warrior
Seth and Marc crawl into the sordid world of a terrible Cats remake music video and a song that is completely lacking in direction. Who is the titular Warrior? I guess the woman that isn't having the issues? Who's the hunter? Who's the game? What the fuck is going on?
-
40 - Legs
September 17th, 2021 | 52 mins 50 secs
benjy, legs, she holding leg, she's got legs, underwear ignorance, zz top
Marc and Seth work through lyrics that read like a lost paragraph from the point of view of a sexually charged Benjy from The Sound And The Fury. It starts off just kind of weird and starts to sound like someone who doesn't know what underwear are like and gets pretty confusing with who's singing to who.
-
39 - Hungry Like The Wolf
September 10th, 2021 | 41 mins 16 secs
cunnilingus, duran, duran duran, hungry like the wolf, juices like wine, lycanthropy
Seth and Marc sift through the Stalkers Guide as written by Simon LeBon and Company with the song Hungry Like The Wolf. And they enlist the talents of Andrew Bernard to figure out some of what the hell is going on. Absolutely a banger musically but high on the creep factor.
-
38 - Cradle Of Love
September 3rd, 2021 | 52 mins 40 secs
cradle of love, gross, music video, pederast, pedophilia, rock the cradle of love, various screeches
YEEAOOOWWW ROWROR! According to Mr. Idol, it's time to do a bunch of stuff with a cradle. Seth and Marc do the dirty job of tearing this disjointed mess apart but when it comes down to it, all we really know is Billy wants to fuck a "little child bride" and we think it's gross. And please... no one look at Seth's search history,

37 - Owner Of A Lonely Heart
August 27th, 2021 | 48 mins 21 secs
cocaine, motivational speaking, much better than the, owner of a broken heart, owner of a lonely heart, yes
Move yourself! Seth and Marc tackle a beloved band from their musical pasts and great punchline to many Abbott-and-Costello-esque joke routines; Yes. Unfortunately, this ain't no Roundabout... this is their foray into 80's music and bipolar motivational speaking.
-
36 - Slide
August 19th, 2021 | 38 mins 51 secs
3rd grade poetry, abortion, dizzy up the girl, goo goo dolls, oh may, slide
Marc and Seth are collecting all of the pieces of nothing that fall... whatever that's supposed to mean. Listen to the unveiling of what this song is really about if you've ever just thought it was something to sing to your significant other.
-
35 - Ice Ice Baby
August 12th, 2021 | 56 mins 34 secs
bad rap, ice, ice baby, robert van winkle, too cold, vanilla ice, word to your mother
Take heed! Lyrical "poet" Rob Van Winkle's 1990 hit Ice Ice Baby gets a good once over courtesy of Marc and Seth. Clunky lines, terrible idioms, and false bravado abound! Hear a setp by step breakdown of the song that catapulted White People into rap experts.
-
34 - Girls And Boys
August 5th, 2021 | 38 mins 1 sec
bad charlotte, boys, ferraris, girl, girls and boys, good charlotte, misogyny, shopping sprees
What's that terrible smell? Ahhh yes. It's the stench of Good Charlotte lyrics. Marc and Seth look as deeply as one can into the shallow pool of misogyny and confused message that is Girls And Boys. Take a trip with them and try to figure out what the hell is going on.
-
33 - Crash Into Me
July 30th, 2021 | 40 mins 46 secs
crash, crash into me, dave matthews band, dirty rascal, dmb, peeing tom, stalking
We're gonna go back to the days of the mid-late 90's when puka shell necklaces and kegstands were all rage... Also in the national zeitgeist at the time? Being a fucking peeping tom with abandonment issues, apparently. Topped off with a nursery rhyme! Dave Matthews and his band of talented misfits unleashed this anthem for stalkers unto a mostly unknowing crowd. We can stay silent no longer.
-
32 - Escape (The Pina Colada Song)
July 23rd, 2021 | 45 mins 38 secs
brain, cape, dunes, escape, lady, pina coladas, rain, shitty guitar solos, tomorrow noon, yoga
Pull up a beach chair, some personal ads, and a fruity drink! Seth and Marc bring to light the true story behind the sing along that probably caused the Jonestown Massacre. We learn that Rupert Holmes doesn't know how personal ads (or marriages) work and what really happens to the famous couple.
-
31 - As Good As I Once Was
July 15th, 2021 | 38 mins 2 secs
as good as i once was, as good once as i ever was, color of money, excessive commas, keith, threesomes, toby, toby keith
Break out your Stetson and some Wranglers and bind and gag Toby Keith! Marc and Seth tackle a real Southern anthem to incestuous threesomes and bailing your buddy out of shitty situations he chose to get himself into.... all tied together by one of the clunkiest attempts at a tagline ever. Fun!
-
30 - Butterfly
July 8th, 2021 | 1 hr 2 mins
baby, butterflies, butterfly, crazy town, crazytown, shaky legs, sugar
A supersized episode for a supersized piece of shit song! Marc and Seth recruit real Crazy Town professional Elyse in to help figure out what the fuck this song is. About as romantic as school bus crash, Shifty Shellshock and Epic Mazur pen this shitty poetry to some very unlucky women who would probably rather their eyes eaten out by rats.
