108 - Semi-Charmed Life

January 16th, 2023  |  1 hr 26 mins

creampies, crystal meth, primus, semi-charmed life, stephan jenkins, third eye blind

Seth and Marc look into the true meaning behind one of the 90's upbeat and infection jams; Semi-Charmed Life by Third Eye Blind. Is it all as lush and catchy as it sounds or is there a terrible crystal meth addiction and some red panties hidden somewhere in there?

107 - Barbie Girl

January 9th, 2023  |  1 hr 6 mins

aqua, aquarium, barbie girl, misogyny, plastic surgery

Seth and Marc painfully comb over the lyrics to Barbie Girl which are either creepy as hell or misogynistic as hell. Throw in the terrible music video and awful voices and this one hurt.

106 - Hey Ya!

January 2nd, 2023  |  1 hr 14 mins

andre 3 stacks, andre 3000, andre 3k, hey ya!, nostradamus, outkast, speakerboxxx, the love below

The guys look into the lyrics for the hit Outkast/Andre 3000 song Hey Ya! one of the rare episodes where the lyrics are actually amazing but the meaning has been overlooked and that's all part of the genius.

105 - Wonderful Christmastime

December 25th, 2022  |  1 hr 6 mins

christmas music, macca, occult, paul mccartney, the beatles, wonderful christmastime

Break out your ancient synthesizers and handclaps... Seth and Marc will bring the eggnog and discuss the frightening endurance of the strange and simple Wonderful Christmastime. Did he write it when he was 8? Why can't we look down? Why didn't anyone tell him how boring this song is?

104 - Figured You Out

December 19th, 2022  |  1 hr 5 mins

chad kroeger, figured you out, gaslighting, kroeger, manipulation, misogyny, nickelback, yikes

Seth and Marc can't get enough shitting all over Nickelback. This time, it's their weird and questionable pro-bro-anthem Figured You Out which posits that even though the narrator loved all of these behaviors from the beginning, it's okay to suddenly change course and say he knows the "real" her and dump her while nothing changes. Classic.

103 - Californication

December 12th, 2022  |  1 hr 13 mins

bad lyrics, californication, red hot chili peppers, rhcp, yikes

As soon as we decided on doing another Red Hot Chili peppers song, I had to call in my bud who can't stand them. Greg from Nice Guys stops back in to help unfurl the lyrical diarrhea that AKieds is spewing out of both ends this time; like usual, 10% sense making to 90% insane drivel... and hypocritical drivel at that.

102 - P.Y.T.

December 5th, 2022  |  49 mins 10 secs

Seth and Marc take a look at the song with a title that wouldn't age too well.... P.Y.T. What's this all about and why is he being so insistent? And what in the fuck is a tenderoni?

101 - Smooth Criminal

November 28th, 2022  |  50 mins 7 secs

bad, but not bad dancing, dancing, michael jackson, mj, moonwalker, smooth criminal

Seth and Marc grab their sequined gloves, their pet chimps, and their arrested development from being pushed to the point of exhaustion as a child and tackle the extremely repetitive Smooth Criminal... the song that made everybody named "Annie" want to immediately change it.

100 - How Bizarre

November 20th, 2022  |  57 mins 17 secs

acid trips, circus, how bizarre, omc, otara millionaires club, social commentary

EPISODE 100! We sit down with dear friend and co-host of our sister podcast Know Nonsense Trivia Podcast Lee The B to uncover the true meaning behind How Bizarre. What starts out sounding like a song about a boring acid trip where cops harass you, you see a ringmaster come out of a poster, and you ask for people to pay to find out what happens at the end of the story ends up possibly being about something more.

99 - All Around The World

November 14th, 2022  |  44 mins 17 secs

all around the world, big yikes, headhunting, ice tea, lisa stansfield, most dangerous game, obsession, psychotic break

Marc and Seth throw some essentials into a suitcase and take off with the lovely Lisa Stansfield to find her baby in the terribly creepy and non-self aware All Around The World.

98 - All Rise

November 7th, 2022  |  41 mins 36 secs

all rise, blue, court, matlock, objection overruled, self-representation

The Honorable Shitty British Boy Band presiding... What do you get when Simon Cowell puts together a 3rd rate boy band and put them in a room with some Norwegian producers? Unfortunately, it seems like you get a terrible song with about a baker's dozen references to court-oriented stuff but without really knowing how court works. And bad rapping.

97 - Poundcake

October 31st, 2022  |  51 mins 18 secs

for unlawful carnal knowledge, poundcake, sammy hagar, van hagar, van halen

BOO! There's only one thing scarier than ghouls and goblins on Halloween.... and that is Van Halen fronted by Gary Cherone! We brought you the next scariest thing; Van Halen fronted by a very horny Sammy Hagar. Why not compare love-filled sex to a dense bread? Well, we'll tell you why.

96 - Float On

October 24th, 2022  |  38 mins 52 secs

The dudes take a crack at Modest Mouse's idea of a positive song.... whether you like it or not. Isaac Brock tries on some of his weird codified language for this positivity-through-nihilism anthem and we're not so sure it works.

95 - Born In The USA

October 17th, 2022  |  57 mins 47 secs

anti war, born in the usa, bruce springsteen, long tall daddy, the boss, vietnam

A slight change of course... Seth and Marc aren't talking about lyrics that are bad, but about a song that is misinterpreted... The Boss's Born In The USA. Often seen by fist-pumping, over-excited people who just like to chant "U!S!A!" a lot as a pro-patriot anthem, the truth is much darker.

94 - Billionaire

October 11th, 2022  |  59 mins 24 secs

billionaire, bruno mars, gym class heroes, questionable adoption, travie mccoy, travis mccoy

Seth and Marc are back together post-Hurricane Ian to listen to Travie McCoy and Bruno Mars wax poetic about what he would do if he was a billionaire. The short list? Have a TV show, wake up in different cities, play basketball with the president, and MAYBE help with Hurricane Katrina victims. This guy kind of sucks.

93 - Sweat (A La La La La Long)

September 26th, 2022  |  48 mins 14 secs

inner circle, poor waitress, reggae, sweat, yikes

The guys take a little trip to the Caribbean to visit the troublesome reggae hit Sweat by the Bad Boys of Inner Circle. If the music video has anything to say about what's going on here, we got a song about a guy getting a littllllle ahead of himself because he saw someone smile and immediately thinks that's a good queue to tell her he wants to fuck her into exhaustion. Not what we'd recommend. Beware of the high Creep Factor!
