band death, funkie, girls, lfo, lyte, mmer girls, ones, pro-choice, summer
Seth and Marc peel back a few layers of the lyrical onion that is the 1999 feel-good(?) summer hit aptly titled Summer Girls. Filled to the brim with "inside jokes" and non-sequiturs like a glass full of lemonade on a hot July day... except lemonade is good and this song sucks.

anti-poor, classism, drinking, driving, in the summertime, jerry, mungo, mungo jerry, road head

ass'les, big bathrooms, nickelback, rockstar, tassholes, tassles
Despite owning up to the fact that they might be nice and even a tad talented, Seth and Marc take great joy in tearing apart Nickelback... specifically the schlock that is the hit song Rockstar. Overly-excited lyrics about anorexia nervosa, drug use that sounds like it would kill a small elephant, and an unhealthy addiction to all things Playboy as well as a comparison to Elvis? Get out of here.

american psycho, chung, creepy, dance, dancehalls, days, hall, manipulation, wang, wang chung
Marc and Seth dive deep into the mind of the Patrick Bateman-esque singer of Wang Hung (not Hung Chung.)

February 19th, 2021 | 42 mins 59 secs
deep fried chicken, drop, drops of jupiter, gas giant, me, soy latte, train
The guys stumble upon a fact that throws all preconceived notions out the window! Luckily, the words are so shitty that they have no issues. Narcissism, possible mother-son sexual fantasties, and soy lattes. This song has it all.
-

February 12th, 2021 | 45 mins 43 secs
beatles, big yikes, guy, jealous, john lennon, lots of therapy, paul mccartney, the beatles, therapy, yikes
With heaviness and sadness in their hearts, Marc and Seth have to take on one of their favorite bands of all time... which is a little easier to do when said band is threatening and gaslighting a partner they repeatedly refer to as "little girl."

January 8th, 2021 | 31 mins 1 sec
female car hybrids, halen, lyrics, panama, van, van halen

January 1st, 2021 | 34 mins 7 secs
gaslighting, jane, jefferson, jefferson starship, lyrics, starship
What do you get when you have a Grace Slick-less group of musicians hopped up on drugs and booze who want to gaslight and threaten a woman? You get the late 70's rock anthem Jane!
