Hello! Sorry. I was just playing hide and seek with my male child. He is doing a great job though and I can’t find him. So I’m going to record this podcast while I wait for him to come out. This week we are going to discuss “Hidden Sun” with Bryan Parry.

We are back but we are running in terror.  Spring is here and the geese have returned.  So I’m just going to stay inside and talk with Mil Feirn about this song from Snacktime.

You may feel like this week’s episode is a repeat, but I promise you it isn’t.  You haven’t been here before. But I’m happy to hear that you long for the sound of our voices and analyses that much. Speaking of familiar voices, we have Erik Butterworth returning to discuss this late BNL tune. 

Where can you find this song off Silverball?

This week we had a guest from the other side of the country. We had to bring him in through the air to get here in time. Given social distancing, airplane travel didn’t seem right. So David Kincannon brought his own helicopter. I love it when a plan comes together. And speaking of veterans, this week we discuss a protest song, “Helicopters”. 

“Helicopters” from Maroon

Bruce Cockburn “If I Had A Rocket Launcher” 

M*A*S*H theme “Suicide Is Painless” 

In the live version, in NY on 3/3/04, they put the rotor noises at the beginning and end (and kazoo of “We Are The World”) 

Steven playing at a Borders, slightly faster, which makes it sound happier.  Finishes the song with whistling the outro and then some banter with the audience.

Well, in our current culture, there are a lot of things that I want again. But this week we talk about wanting her back again. No guests this week, which makes me want them again.  However, we have Aaron back. So enjoy us being back again this week.

Kyle Rogan joins in 

Thanks for spreading some joy today! Thought I'd join in on the fun. https://t.co/KEczCUktfH

“Isolation” by John Lennon 

Welcome to the Barenaked ABCs.  This week we are talking with one of the few people to have written a song with Ed that then recorded that song without BNL. But beyond that, he is a country music legend who has been recording for more than 40 years. I’ll leave the big intro for the episode, but this guy is an amazing storyteller.  I hope you enjoy our conversation with John Berry.

Who better to talk about having a baby than 4 guys?!  No. We aren’t mansplaining. This song is about a man having a baby. So it works (thank goodness, because we are still without Michelle for a while). Don’t have a cow, man. Just sit back, relax, and listen to 4 guys talking about a really fun song.

Article on how the commercial came to be 

Well, it is harsh out there. “The truth to be fair is that” we can make it through this… together.  #SocialDistancingNow doesn’t mean that we have to be alone, just safe.  Are you lonely?  Well, the man in this week’s song is.

Welcome back for Hanukkah in March.  Okay, it’s not as catchy as Christmas in July, but at least it’s not kvetchy.  Bonnie is back joining us again for this discussion, and we are without Aaron. Enjoy anyway!

UGH!  I don’t like Heavy metal, but this just sounds disrespectful.
