Andrew and Dan return from a week off to discuss the 2014 song of the summer, which, fittingly, brings them into a conversation about cultural appropriation and race in America. Also, the 1995 teen comedy Clueless, because you crazy kids love your '90s nostalgia.

Black lives matter. Solidarity forever.

What would it sound like if an overly excited teenage boy wrote a song about his experience at the high school dance? Well, it might sound a little like this number one single from everybody's favorite late-90s R&B group Next. Though, we think a teenage boy might try to be a bit more subtle...

Well, it finally happened. Andrew and Dan fired up the old time machine and ended up right back where they started, in this very week, in this very year. Luckily, the number one song this week, a charity single from two major pop stars, has enough controversy surrounding it to fill two episodes. Get those controversy hats ready!

When it came time to choose the fourth single for her smash hit album "Teenage Dream" there was really only one choice for Katy Perry. Her fans simply had to hear her song about sexing up an alien creature and the world's hottest rapper simply had to tack on the weirdest verse possible. The result, was something out of this world (sorry)

Disco may be dead, but, for this week at least, it lives on this podcast. Andrew and Dan travel back to the year 1978 when the soundtrack to Saturday Night Fever, a very strange movie, was the biggest thing in the world.

From the producers who brought you "Up Where We Belong" comes another harrowing tale of a popular musician being asked to write a love ballad for a new movie. This go-around, current Genesis frontman and potential jerk Phil Collins rises to the task and pulls out an old tune he wrote about his divorce.

In their return to the Billboard charts of 1952, Andrew and Dan discover a story eerily similar to every. single. musician. from. the '50s. But Kay Starr has a few unique things to offer, including a song that one of the boys things might be kind of a banger.

During this trying time, everyday people are being called on to do great things. Andrew and Dan are no different. This week, they make their third journey back to 2018, aka The Year of Drake. One of them has evolved. One of them has not. They are both still nice. But for what?

Venturing into the long-forgotten past of the early 1990s can be treacherous. There's a lot of cheesy production and some very questionable fashion choices. But this week, Andrew and Dan encounter quite the anomaly. The semi-forgotten early '90s hit that may or may not totally and completely slap. You be the judge!
