242 - If You Wanna Be Happy
August 11th, 2025 | 49 mins 41 secs
empty marriages, if you wanna be happy, jimmy soul, roaring lion, sexism
Seth and Marc dust off the ol' classic If You Wanna Be Happy as made famous by Jimmy Soul. Somehow, it manages to simultaneously make "pretty" and "ugly" women feel terrible in one fell swoop and, at the same time, make marriage sound like a worthless endeavor. Impressive!

buddy holly, buddy holly and the crickets, manipulation, mind games, sexism, that'll be the day, the crickets, the day the music died
Seth and Marc unfurl the lyrics to The Crickets' (by the way of Buddy Holly) hit That'll Be The Day. Does it surprise us that this song is filled with a litany of different kinds of mental manipulation? No, not at all. Are we going to still cover it? Absolutely.

November 13th, 2023 | 44 mins 52 secs
elton john, island girl, prostitution, racism, sexism, youch
Seth and Marc look at a song that was described as "racist, sexist and fetishistic" all in one fell swoop; Island Girl by Elton John (and Bernie Taupin.) A song that is swinging for a Caribbean feel and ends up being tone deaf in more than one way.

89 - Every Picture Tells A Story
August 29th, 2022 | 53 mins 59 secs
every picture tells a story, racism, rod stewart, sexism, the faces, world traveling
Rod's back, baby! And he brought Ronnie Wood with him to tell stories about traveling the world, being so hot and famous you cause a stampede, and then being racist toward Asian people. Why don't we wrap it up by repeating the song title 24 times which has absolutely nothing to do with anything in the song? Whatever, Rod. Just leave the woman in the cabin alone.
