Barenaked ABCs (Alphabetical Barenaked [Ladies] Catalog

It’s been a while since we had Aaron?  He was just on last week, but maybe you’re right.  Because he is missing again this week. But we have Heidi Welsh joining us to discuss “Maybe You’re Right”.  Listen in to decide if we are right about our opinions about this song.  https://soundcloud.com/user-946961552/episode-183-maybe-youre-right Original  Acoustic (All New Revue &#...

You thought we would be talking about the new BNL music?  Well, Maybe Not.  Okay.  Definitely not.  We are talking about “Maybe Not” with Josh from JBJ Podcasts.  We are hoping that you will enjoy it.    https://soundcloud.com/user-946961552/episode-182-maybe-not Original  Bathroom sessions  Appearance  In recognition of the upcoming Olym...

There is no “maybe”s about this one. I have been excited for this episode for over a year.  But not because of the song (you’ll have to listen to see my thoughts on that) but because Alex Robinson is joining us to discuss “Maybe Katie”.   https://soundcloud.com/user-946961552/episode-181-maybe-not Original version  Bathroom Sessions  Steven scatting with the bridge an...

I wish that I could say that this week we were discussing Doctor Who.  Why?  Because I love Doctor Who… and I wish I had thought of a way to tie that into this week’s song discussion.  But I didn’t.  So I guess we and our guest, Trevor Cox, will just have to talk about “Matter of Time”.  https://soundcloud.com/user-946961552/episode-180-matter-of-time Matte...

No, we aren’t losing it or changing our format.  BNL did cover Madonna.  So, of course Jeff and I will discuss it.  https://soundcloud.com/user-946961552/episode-179-material-girl Original song   Madonna – Material Girl [Official HD Music Video] – YouTube   BNL on “Hello City” disc   BNL on Barenaked Recess   BNL live   Appearance   Covering...

Please don’t go rushing by this episode.  Stay and make our heart fly by listening to Jeff and I gush about another of our favorite bands that BNL covers.  https://soundcloud.com/user-946961552/episode-178-make-my-heart-fly Appearances  Proclaimers official website  https://the.proclaimers.co.uk/ BNL’s version  Proclaimers version 

I’m proud that we will be ending not on the “L”s but also Pride Month with this song.  For me it has always been an anthem for all lovers who endure persecution.  Andrew and Justin share what this song is really about though.  Join us as we discuss this deep classic.   https://soundcloud.com/user-946961552/episode-177-lovers-in-a-dangerous-time BNL video  Original&nbs...

We love this show so much that you can’t even imagine the love that we’re in.  But do we love this particular song?  Listen in to find out.  https://soundcloud.com/user-946961552/episode-176-the-love-were-in Original song 

 It’s summertime here in Maine, which means that the loons are back. In honor of this beautiful bird with its mournful cry, we discuss the Snacktime song “Louis Loon”  https://soundcloud.com/user-946961552/episode-175-louis-loon Original song  Appearance  Two people recording the same performance on Ships and Dip 4 with Zach Daniels playing banjo  Reportedly only played once, which...

Thank you for listening to our filler show last week. I was very sick, but it’s okay. I’m feeling much better now and things are Lookin’ Up, as all 4 of us are back together to discuss this recent single release.  https://soundcloud.com/user-946961552/episode-174-lookin-up Video by Matt Hollumbde  Acoustic  Selfie-Cam Jam  Appearance  Making of “Toronto Island” v...

Due to illness, I wasn’t able to record an episode this week. So we would like to give you a sneak peak into our Patreon account. Here is an episode from our After Dark episodes on Patreon (for only $5 per month, you get 2 of these episodes per month, once we start getting our first patron). EXPLICIT! https://soundcloud.com/user-946961552/episode-173-extra-patreon-a

The gang is back together.  It’s been a long while, which is coincidental since this week’s song is “Long While”.    https://soundcloud.com/user-946961552/episode-173-long-while Appearance Friday Night with Ralph Benmurgui https://youtu.be/v4BiSxZA3NI

Are you listening to us during your commute? On the bus, train, or in your car?  Is it a short ride?  Well, even if it is a “Long Way Back Home”, I hope that you enjoy today’s discussion.  https://soundcloud.com/user-946961552/episode-172-long-way-back-home live  Bathroom Sessions  Appearance  Best Story Ever with Ed Robertson 

No, this week we don’t discuss Elton John, because this isn’t Your Song.  It’s also isn’t a tribute to the greatest song in the world.  No.  Andrew and Justin from Monster Squad Minute join us to discuss “Little Tiny Song”  https://soundcloud.com/user-946961552/episode-171-little-tiny-song Appearance   44:32 Here We Go (aka On Our Own)   

This week, on Barenaked ABCs, we’re losing our mind, so we’re trying to find a peace of mind, so Tracy gives us a deep dive song “Little Green Bag”.  This week we don’t have any guests, so we’re “gonna do it my way”.    https://soundcloud.com/user-946961552/episode-170-littlegreenbag Appearance  Interview with George Baker  NPR interview with Tom Jones around “Re...

This week we prove that we don’t know our limits here, as we invite the “Barenaked Ladies Are Us” men back to the show to discuss “Limits”.  You can find their amazing podcast on any podcasting platform!  https://soundcloud.com/user-946961552/episode-169-limit Appearances  I’m missing me some Steve this week, and luckily he was just featured on a brand new song by Brett&nb...

It’s spring and it is time for April showers to bring May Flowers.  But what does this week’s episode bring?  Allison McBride, the pop culture anthropologist (not apologist for short).  And she joins us to discuss BNL’s Lilac Girl.    https://soundcloud.com/user-946961552/episode-168-lilac-girl Buck Naked  Barenaked Recess  Live 2004  Referenced: ...

Episode 167: Light Up My Room  It’s getting dark out there right now, but that is okay because my cohosts, my guest, and this song help to light up my room!  Thank you for joining us again, David Kincannon!  https://soundcloud.com/user-946961552/episode-167-light-up-my-room Covers  Light up my room cover by cornbread red  Appearance  Ed on Donovan Wood’s “God Forbid”...

This week’s episode is the longest yet.  I mean, we have to sum up all of “Life” in a nutshell.  That can’t be done quickly.  Luckily, we have some pretty deep souls joining us this week, as JD and Nick from Barenaked Ladies Are Us decide, that even though they have finished all the BNL albums, they would come back to discuss this song with us.  https://soundcloud.com/user-9469...

That’s right… we messed up. I missed a deep cut song and Trevor Cox was there to correct me, so he gets to come and discuss this song with us. https://soundcloud.com/user-946961552/episode-165-blam

We discussed a song about drug dealers at a convenience store last week. This week we take a more positive view on life, as Mil helps us to reflect on the uplifting message from Kevin on this B-side in an era when B-sides no longer exist. https://soundcloud.com/user-946961552/episode-164-let-there-be-light Let There Be Light (non-album track) Top 10 non-album tracks http://getbarenaked.net/2016/10...

Welcome to 7-11. How may I help you today? You want Barenaked Ladies songs from 7 to Y? I’m sorry. Disco music? Nope. It sucks. We only sell dope. Not what you are looking for? Well, I guess you can listen to us discuss this Rheostatics cover by Barenaked Ladies instead. https://soundcloud.com/user-946961552/episode-163-legal-age-life-at-variety-store Orginal by Rheostatics  BNL cover&n...

We have guests this week, and we don’t want them to “Leave”.  Thanks for joining us, Chris and Ephraim from “Clothed Men Discuss Barenaked Ladies”. Such a fun discussion.  https://soundcloud.com/user-946961552/episode-162-leave Appearance  Ed on Donovan Wood’s “Man Made Lake” during the pandemic (co-wrote) 

This week we discuss not only a song but a movie!  That’s right.  Make way for the double team, it’s not a dream. The most amazing critique that you’ve ever seen, as we discuss the movie and theme song “Lazer Team” (that is not a misspelling).    https://soundcloud.com/user-946961552/episode-161-lazer-team Lazer Team Theme
