WNUT Talk, Episode 3: The Unlikeliest Hit Songs Ever, from the Rappin' Duke to That Stupid Fox One


Listen Later

This week on WNUT Talk, Brandon is talking about the least likely, most unexpected songs to ever become hits! We've got the stories behind songs like Falco's "Rock Me Amadeus," 2NU's "This Is Ponderous," Shawn Brown's "Rappin' Duke," Baz Luhrmann's "Everybody's Free (to Wear Sunscreen)" -- and even that horrible abomination, "The Fox (What Does the Fox Say?)" by Ylvis.

What made these songs hit when they did? How did they come about? What mystic forces in the universe were working against them? Brandon's telling you about the odds they defied and the heights they reached on today's episode, so hit play and join the hit parade!
