In this episode: we break down all of the music videos that were the eye-candy accompaniment to our favorite songs. From the early days of MTV (remember when they played videos?) to more current viral video superstars (OK Go comes to mind many times over) we cover all of the bases.

We also celebrate Tunestiles’ one year anniversary & discuss John & Kevin’s Big Stupid Podcast’s music video episode in our own “big stupid” way!

In a VERY NSFW episode: Bill Manspeaker, the head puppet master for Green Jellö (or Green Jellÿ, as most see it) joins us to unravel the "world's worst band," bite by bite.

Among the many topics we discuss: the band celebrating its (wait for it) 39th anniversary; the “Three Little Pigs” video sensation; holding the Guinness World Record for the world’s largest band (currently over 900+ members!); securing a record contract without the label hearing a single note of the band’s music; being hated by The Ramones; writing and recording a cover of a Gary Glitter song, featuring Hulk Hogan on vocals; directing videos for Tupac, Weird Al, and Marilyn Manson (among many others!); their connection to hard rock band Tool; and of course, challenging anyone to try and de-throne them from their "world's worst band" title (here's a hint...you can't!)

In this episode: we outline the bands who've had successful runs after replacing their lead vocalist, be it over creative differences or when the band has no other choice (in the the case of the original singer's passing). And don't worry, we didn't forget to Van Halen in this debate!
