Barenaked ABCs (Alphabetical Barenaked [Ladies] Catalog

I used to get self-conscious writing these intros.  I worried that people wouldn’t like them. But I don’t get it anymore. So come hear what we have to say about this week’s song.

I’m not feeling very capable this week to write the intro.  But I keep telling myself that I Can, I Will, and I Do.  Although I’m not sure why I say the last part because it sounds pretty weird.  But that is what this week’s song does to me.  This week we are joined by the pop-culture anthropologist, Ali McBride!

Also, a Wurlitzer Organ is an amazing thing, even if I didn’t like the one used tonight, it makes tons of others, so here is a great video about this amazing instrument 

Barenaked Ladies sometimes likes to state the obvious.  And this week, we discuss them doing just that, in song form. Joining us is Marc from Ghostman Radio Podcast!  Sorry about the audio. We had some significant internet difficulties.

Lots of concert versions of this, but I like this one, where you have the camera on the end of Ed’s guitar and you see Tyler playing his body.

Ok. I couldn’t come up with a pun to describe this week’s song.  It’s too big a task.  Some might say it is gargantuan.  Or giant.  Or ginormous.  I can’t think of any other words to describe this task, so I’ll just introduce the song.  This week we are talking about “Humungous Tree”.

Knock Knock. Who’s there? Barenaked ABCs with special guest Fully Clothed Gents, the premiere BNL-tribute band, and we are talking about “Humor of the Situation”. It’s a great discussion with absolutely no funny business (yeah, right).

Appearance 

Steven Page -Leonard Cohen Tribute “Memories” – Nov 9 2008 

I worked hard on this week’s episode, even though the quality doesn’t quite sound like it.  I had to keep asking “How’s The Level?”  And finally had to answer “Okay”.  So please forgive me if Jeff’s audio sounds Buck Naked.  Oh… and we are discussing all these things this week.

Welcome to Christmas in… May…. June?  What month are we in now?  Are we still even in 2020?  All sense of reality is gone, and this song is not helping.  Luckily I am surrounded by some great friends, including Katherine Cornetta to talk about this week’s “song”.
