I’m proud that we will be ending not on the “L”s but also Pride Month with this song.  For me it has always been an anthem for all lovers who endure persecution.  Andrew and Justin share what this song is really about though.  Join us as we discuss this deep classic.

Wavy voice, lots of vibrato, very slow, I don’t really like it, but I could see how some would.

We love this show so much that you can’t even imagine the love that we’re in.  But do we love this particular song?  Listen in to find out. 

Original song 

 It’s summertime here in Maine, which means that the loons are back. In honor of this beautiful bird with its mournful cry, we discuss the Snacktime song “Louis Loon”

Appearance 

Two people recording the same performance on Ships and Dip 4 with Zach Daniels playing banjo 

Reportedly only played once, which was this performance, but I can’t believe that is true. 

Thank you for listening to our filler show last week. I was very sick, but it’s okay. I’m feeling much better now and things are Lookin’ Up, as all 4 of us are back together to discuss this recent single release.

Due to illness, I wasn’t able to record an episode this week. So we would like to give you a sneak peak into our Patreon account. Here is an episode from our After Dark episodes on Patreon (for only $5 per month, you get 2 of these episodes per month, once we start getting our first patron). EXPLICIT!

The gang is back together.  It’s been a long while, which is coincidental since this week’s song is “Long While”.

Best Story Ever with Ed Robertson 

No, this week we don’t discuss Elton John, because this isn’t Your Song.  It’s also isn’t a tribute to the greatest song in the world.  No.  Andrew and Justin from Monster Squad Minute join us to discuss “Little Tiny Song”

This week, on Barenaked ABCs, we’re losing our mind, so we’re trying to find a peace of mind, so Tracy gives us a deep dive song “Little Green Bag”.  This week we don’t have any guests, so we’re “gonna do it my way”.
