Why won’t someone help that poor man carry his piano? Here we sweat over Bruno Mars’ 2010 hit ‘Grenade.’ Mark thinks a lot of the heaviness of this song is due to the use of an interesting tweak on the minor key, while Nichole tries to get to the bottom of what might be going on in the head of the song’s sad protagonist.

Other music heard in this episode: Kesha - “We R Who We R”, Bruno Mars - “The Lazy Song”, Adele - “Rolling in the Deep”, Hall & Oates - “Maneater”, Bruno Mars - “Treasure”, Bruno Mars - “Lock Out of Heaven”, Bruno Mars - “Finesse”
