You Should Know This Song

We can hardly believe it's our 25th APEZiversary. To celebrate, we changed it up a bit. This APEisode is all talk. (All the APEisodes are all talk, how does this differ?). But this is different. Really!

For this go round there are no challenges. We wanted to share the kind of thing we do when we're just sitting around blabbing (like we do on every APEisode). Seriously, it IS different. I mean we're talking about music (isn't that what we always do?).  But there's digressions and BS and the conversations go sideways in this one (exactly like all the other ones).

Well, this time we made a playlist of the songs we mentioned in the APEisode, and you can actually listen to the songs we talked about. Hopefully, you'll finish listening to the podcast first (PLEASE!?!). Click the link to check it out. Hear HERE. (get it?) We're gonna try to do this for every APEisode going forward, and eventually, for all the previous ones too.

OK, OK, so it's only a little different. It's still two APEZ monkeying around with microphones, acting like what they say should be recorded. And we're still having fun, commenting on the music we want to share. With YOU. That's what it's really about.

So, what's up in APEisode 24, you ask? Well, Rayce has a Cicada public safety announcement. Reid went to see the MJ stage show and his wife says HE has something to say about it. Welcome new Certified Official APEZ Member Amity-Of-Apez! Get your official membership, just by stickin' your nose into our business. We'd love nothing more!

Musically, we determine that Vinegar Joe should have been a bigger deal that they were. KSHE classics come into the chat. No Shelter from Looks That Kill with a Sledgehammer, by an Evil Genius, is just Coincidental MOYDAHHH. And, friend of the show Matt from the STL area band 'Hello Newman' is going to participate. 

Come on! You gotta find out what all of that means right?!?! Check out APEisode TWENTYFOUR! 

Hello, and welcome to APEisode # 23. We're outdoors, ya know. Starting with Prime, we hit (and miss) on a couple of lesser known deep cuts from Status Quo, String Driven Thing, and The Rainmakers, among some more well known PRIME cuts from Cake, Toto, and Joe Jackson, just naming a few.

Then on to Starting Lines w Floyd, Hagar, Montrose, and apparently one of us doesn't understand that DIO is a GOD!?!?!?!? Go Ask Alice, even she knows!

Lastly, we ask the question, What Are YOU Listening to? We share our thoughts, and ask for yours. Come ON, LISTEN AND RESPOND to APEisode 23! It's a jungle out here!

We are again in the wild for APEizode 22. Are you joining us? We are in the outdoorz for this APEizode. After a LONG intro, we finally get down to businezz. APEZ businezz, that iz. After shout-outs to worthy fellow APEZ, we cover some correctionz and clarificationz. And then we start on our most MixedUpz MixedApez antics yet. 

Grab a cold drink & a lawn chair, and step outside with us for another round of  You Should Know This Song! with MixedApez in the Wild! 

Our latest APEisode is almost out of the teens, but don't think that means we're gonna grow up anytime soon. We begin with Starting Lines, offering only the first few words as a challenge. Nick Lowe, Pearl Jam, Kansas, Stealer's Wheel, RHCP, Iggy Pop, and others are included in the clues, and we keep em flowing fast and furious.

Our second segment is Your Mother Should Know. One of our faves. Appropriately, there is a Beatles challenge, and we also check in on The Cars, Pretenders, The Kinks, and because we have Too Much Time On Our Hands, Styx and a few others. Did I just give something away?

The last segment in this APEisode is Tune That Name, the most recent addition to the APEZ challenge family, where we provide an 'alternative' naming of the song or the band, or "Whatever". Follow along, you'll figure it out.

It's our LAST CHANCE to get away with being a teen, because 20 is right around the corner. Even APEZ have to grow up... eventually. Come on, join us for a joy ride before they make us start acting our age.

If only we'd learned the truth at seventeen... then we might not be bringing you this delightful new 17th APEisode. We start with some MIXEDAPEZ Twist & Shout. A twisted segment where the song comes first, and the LYRICS are the answer. Frankly, when I was 17, I THOUGHT the lyrics WERE the answer. Either way, we've got songs by Bob Marley & the Wailers, Timbuk3, Joe Jackson, Van Halen  and so much more in this segment. 

Then some tasty, if slightly weird, Bean Enchiladas. A listener favorite segment, where we mangle the lyrics to songs you know and love. Clues include "Come on, peel an orange", and "She eats cole-slaw every day". Why are they always about food? With Nirvana, The Police, BOC, and Zeppelin among the bands (just to name a few) whose lyrics we turn sideways, there's something for every taste here. 

We wrap it up with Your Mother Should Know, with clues just about anybody can figure out, even us APEZ. Songs from The Beach Boys, Sly & the Family Stone, Hootie, and a handful of others round out the APEisode and everybody getsthe correct answer out in 'record' time. I really can't help the dad jokes, and that's the way, uh-huh, we like it. 

So connect with us and get the latest APEisode, and help us celebrate our 17th. Rock & Roll, kids. We're gonna grow up someday, but probably not today. 

Sweet Sixteen with MixedApez at Rayce's Oasiz! How can it go wrong? You'll see. Rayce makes up the word BLAZZ! It's a keeper! Let's play ASK AND YE SHALL DECEIVE with Joe Jackson, Frankie Goes To Hollywood, Deep Purple, Jolene, more! And while we're at it, how about a new game STARTING LINES including Talking Heads, Bad Co, Hollies, Bowie, and so on. And then PRIME CUTS to finish the party! It's got THIS SONG by George Harrison (should have been our FIRST EVER), Ted Nugent, Tears For Fears, Sublime, Pretenders...wwhhheeewww!  WE GO LONG with a 1.5 hour marathon. So strap in! Make a wish! And blow out the candles with us, for You Should Know This Song! THE ROCK MUSIC LYRIC CHALLENGE AND COMMENTARY PODCAST!
