Lyrical Crimes

Ah, memories. We all suspected this was a jumble of thrown-together words, but is there anything to it in fact? Only Beck may know for sure, but we're damn sure going to try to figure it out!

In case you are a perdedor and forgot what the song sounds like:

It has nothing to do with wrapping, it has nothing to do with douches, but lord knows what it actually has to do with. This week we try to get to the bottom of whatever Bruce Springsteen and Manfred Mann were thinking of!

Time for another examination of some songs we really love! Sit back and enjoy as we delve into the weird and wonderful world of Cyndi Lauper and Talking Heads!

Time to go back to the Grungy '90s with Pearl Jam's ass-kicker Even Flow. Come along with us as we put ourselves in the body of an insane homeless person! Good times!

Here's the video (I hope Josh didn't lose his job)

Feeling pretty psyched about this random jumble of word salad! We're experiencing the end of the world, so we might as well listen to a song about it!

Leonard Bernstein!

Here's a link to the song. Enjoy.

This week we sink our teeth into the poppiest, bubble-gummiest, butt-clenching-iest piece of fluff pop to ever come out of Denmark! Come on, Barbie, let's go party!

Here's a link to the song (although no one will blame you for not wanting to listen to this ever again):

Happy Halloween everyone! It's time to get spooky with the Blue Oyster Cult! Please enjoy, and I mean it this time!

Here's the song in all it's umlaut-y goodness!

It's an oldie, but a goodie! Also, probably a bit misogynistic. And bullying. And gross.

But hey, there are a couple of versions of this song, BOTH of which, we'll tackle on this episode! Enjoy!

Big Joe Turner's version:

Bill Haley's version:

Hoo boy. Talk about things that haven't aged well. Come to think of it, this song probably didn't age all that well in 1971. Great job, Mick!

Trigger warning, perhaps? Proceed with caution at least.

If, for some reason, you haven't heard this, here's the link to the song. Enjoy!

I want to reach out and grab Steve Miller for writing this turkey. But it turns out there's a Shyamalan-esque twist in here that you probably never picked up on! Also, we break some kind of podcasting record for "Most time saying the word 'panties'."

Welcome back to the eighties!
