Every Song Sucks: A Reel Big Fish Podcast

Coolie Ranx! He features on a few Reel Big Fish songs, but there's one song in particular--Song #3 where Coolie takes the lead and who better to speak on the song than the man himself? Coolie joins Gary, Matt, and Anthony to talk about how his involvement in Song #3 from the 1998 album Why Do They Rock So Hard? came about as we analyze the song together.

Authority. What do we know about it? We know it should always be questioned, but we know it always wins--at least according to John Cougar Mellencamp. Speaking of the Coog--Gary, Anthony, Matt, and Vince Walker from Suburban Legends discuss "Authority Song" off of the 2009 covers album Fame, Fortune and Fornication.

It took 59 episodes, but we're finally covering our namesake song! Join Gary, Matt, and Anthony as we discuss "Everything Sucks," which contrary to what some may believe, first appeared on the 1996 album Turn the Radio Off and not on the 1995 album Everything Sucks.

Feel stretched thin? Us too. Sometimes life pulls you in all sorts of directions and you feel like you're living for everyone and everything but yourself. This week we have a host-only episode with Gary, Anthony, and Matt as we discuss "You Can't Have All of Me" form the 2018 album Life Sucks... Let's Dance!

Aha! I knew this one would tickle your fancy. We're covering "Take On Me" from the BASEKETBALL soundtrack this week! This may be Reel Big Fish's best cover song, but we're so busy talking with former trumpet player, Tavis Werts, that we forget to compare it to the rest of the plethora of RBF covers!

This week is a special week! For the first time, we have a member of Reel Big Fish that recorded on the song we're talking about. Former trumpet player, Tavis Werts, joins Gary, Anthony, and Matt for a chat about the many versions of "I'm Cool" (but mostly we talk about the version from Why Do They Rock So Hard).

Wait! Is this song about the Michael Bay movie Armageddon? No... it can't be--but can it? Chris Graue (Louser) joins the crew to discuss "She's Not the End of the World" from the 2012 album Candy Coated Fury.

Another beer song? Well yes, but that's actually the name of the song. It's "Another Beer Song" from the 2018 album Life Sucks, Let's Dance! and we're joined by none other than Chris Graue AKA Lo(u)ser.

You ever want something you know you can't have? There's something to be said about desiring something just out of reach. This week Rick Bisenius (I Voted For Kodos, The Von Tramps) joins Gary, Matt, and Anthony to talk about "I Want Your Girlfriend To Be My Girlfriend Too" from the 1998 album Why Do They Rock So Hard?

We love you because you really understand our podcast and as a gift to you we're going to cover our first Reel Big Fish ballad! Rick Bisenius (I Voted For Kodos, The Von Tramps) joins Gary, Matt, and Anthony for a discussion about "We Care" from the 1998 album Why Do They Rock So Hard?
