Barenaked ABCs (Alphabetical Barenaked [Ladies] Catalog

This week we break into a song that is one of the top 10 most recognized BNL songs.  Most of the Scooby gang is here to find the culprit. And just as we are about to find out the answer, Enter The Haggis.  Not really, but that is the name of the band that this week’s guest formed.  Our guest Craig Downie has first hand knowledge of BNL. It’s a long episode, but t...

It’s a post-Beatles cover night here at BNABCs this week, as we discuss the BNL cover of “Oh Yoko!”  While we’re at it, we throw in Steven and Kevin and Duffy covering “Junk” by Paul McCartney.  https://soundcloud.com/user-946961552/episode-206-oh-yoko?si=b0dd0151be4a46ffa8c108b09404fbaa&utm_source=clipboard&utm_medium=text&utm_campaign=social_sharing John Lennon original&...

It’s Christmas time and it wouldn’t feel right if we didn’t cover at least one BNL Holiday song.  So this week we are covering a “song”: O Holy Night.  You’ll see what we mean.  https://soundcloud.com/user-946961552/episode-201-o-holy-night?si=a0cc65f7fc62449b90164844e0a076e1&utm_source=clipboard&utm_medium=text&utm_campaign=social_sharing Pavarotti si...

Wow.  The December snuck up on us silently.

As I write this, we just switched out of Daylight Savings Time into the next time period, which is Standard Time here in the USA and parts of Canada and England.  I am so glad that time has changed.  Now you can hear our podcast an hour earlier… or later.  I don’t know, I’ll figure it out by next time.  https://soundcloud.com/user-946961552/episode-197-next-time?si=445250...

Welcome to the Barenaked ABCs.  And it is our great honor to take a break again for another week to bring you, what I think, is one of our best interviews to date.  And it has nothing to do with us, and everything to do with our guest.
