Episode 22: Bag of Bones 

ARGH!!!!  We are being chase by BIG DOGS.  BARKING DOGS! BITING DOGS!  No time for an episode this week, so here is sound clips of us just running from dogs for an hour.  I hope you enjoy our howls of pain.  Seriously, we recorded an episode about “Bag of Bones” last week, so that will be more enjoyable…. maybe.   

YouTube version of “Bag of Bones”

As you may have seen, we have spammers.  This has just been a bad day.  And coincidentally, that is today’s song.  This week, we review “Bad Day” off “Snacktime”.  I know some of us (ahem, not Tracy) have been harsh on this album so far, but maybe this won’t be a bad day for Snacktime.  Tune in to see. 

Appearances: 

Juno Awards (again) in 2008. This time though, they received a Juno for Best Children’s Album for “Snacktime”.  During the press junket, an interviewer asks them to create an improv rap on the spot.  So Ed starts freestyling at about 1:25.

Welcome “back” to the Barenaked ABCs, where tonight’s song is “Back”, a B-side on the “Brian Wilson 2000” CD. We discuss this rare “B-side” and if it should have been more. 

“Back” – YouTube “video” of this song.  Not a real video, but a fan-made one.

Tonight is a big night.  We move into the Bs!!!! Now that we are out of the A’s, we feel that we are out of the baby phase, maybe into the toddler phase.  It is time for us to get out of the baby seat.  And tonight we discuss Baby Seat. Aaron starts referencing music all over the place.  This song is drum heavy and so is this episode at times.  We name drop so many names, basically everyone who has ever lived is now invited on the show.15

The song that Aaron was talking about is “4 Chords” by Axis of Awesome.  Coincidentally, “Auld Lang Syne” is also with those 4 chords.

Episode 18: Auld Lang Syne 

It’s the end of the year as we know it.  It’s the end of the year as we know it.  It’s the end of the world as we know it.  And it is MAY!  Ok, so our calendar is a little off.  But I wasn’t about to wait another 8 months to start the podcast just to line up this song.  So instead, we are talking about New Years in May (better than Christmas in July).  Being the first episode of the New Barenaked Year…. Hey!  I like that. Let’s start that petition…. We discuss all the other firsts with this song.  Listen in as we talk about Barenaked Ladies’ rendition of this holiday classic and then rewind to 2002 to discuss the Juno appearances.

Bite not your frenulum at me, good sir. We are discussing a whole album this week, as we take on “As You Like It”.  It is a tome of an episode, with five Acts. There is adventure, love, betrayal, and the horns, the horns, the lusty horns. So, come hither, come hither, come hither.

Whole Album

For those of you that struggle with Shakespeare, Sparknotes.com does a wonderful thing where they not only analyze each scene but also provide a modern English version of each line next to the actual line.  And it is pretty accurate by my meager reading.

Episode 15: “Another Postcard” has arrived at our mailboxes.  And it is with Chimpanzees?  Why do we keep getting these postcards with chimps on them?  While we solve this mystery, here is this week’s episode… ooooooooh.  about “Another Postcard”.  Right.  Tonight we are joined, or invaded, depending upon your point of view, by Michael from The “Weird Al”phabet.  We had a lot of fun with our hostage.
