Barenaked ABCs (Alphabetical Barenaked [Ladies] Catalog

I have listened to this song so many times this week that I feel like I was living with it every day.  Did I like that?  Did my cohosts?  There is only one way to find out.  https://soundcloud.com/user-946961552/episode-135-i-live-with-it-everyday Album version  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Vnfmro1mtiU Appearances  Special 1994 version    A rare earl...

Welcome to… okay.. You know the rest of it.  This week we have guest Erik Butterworth returning to discuss, at length (yes… really) the song “I Know”.  Why?  Because we don’t really know what this song is about.  Do you?  https://soundcloud.com/user-946961552/episode-134-i-know BOAPS 1996  https://youtu.be/ZHA8NVcTCzQ Bathroom Sessions  Appearance  Ed and Steve on the Da...

This week we discuss what Ed learned from Steven’s departure, as we discuss “I Have Learned” with guest Katherine Cornetta (  www.sportsgirlkat.com  ). She even gave us this week’s amazing appearance.  https://soundcloud.com/user-946961552/episode-133-i-have-learned This week’s song  Appearance 

Steven Page won “Never Have I Ever” with me this week.  He has a dreidel.  And this week we discuss BNL’s song about it.    https://soundcloud.com/user-946961552/episode-132-i-have-a-dreidel How to play  How to Play Dreidel Appearance  Tyler about The Lim...

I love doing this podcast, but you know what I don’t like.  Well, listen to this episode to find out what Steven and Ed don’t like, and we might just share our dislikes a little as well  https://soundcloud.com/user-946961552/episode-131-i-dont-like Snacktime! version  Appearance / Letters  Thank you to Trevor Cox for finding the “Chocolately” cover of “Burned” by Neil Young&nbs...

I used to get self-conscious writing these intros.  I worried that people wouldn’t like them. But I don’t get it anymore. So come hear what we have to say about this week’s song.  https://soundcloud.com/user-946961552/episode-130-i-dont-get-it-anymore Stop Us  Bathroom Sessions  Appearance 

I’m not feeling very capable this week to write the intro.  But I keep telling myself that I Can, I Will, and I Do.  Although I’m not sure why I say the last part because it sounds pretty weird.  But that is what this week’s song does to me.  This week we are joined by the pop-culture anthropologist, Ali McBride!  https://soundcloud.com/user-946961552/episode-129-i-can-i-will-i-do Stop Us If You H...

Barenaked Ladies sometimes likes to state the obvious.  And this week, we discuss them doing just that, in song form. Joining us is Marc from Ghostman Radio Podcast!  Sorry about the audio. We had some significant internet difficulties.  https://soundcloud.com/user-946961552/episode-128-i-can-sing https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3tUSX3tMKto  (snacktime)  https://...

Ok. I couldn’t come up with a pun to describe this week’s song.  It’s too big a task.  Some might say it is gargantuan.  Or giant.  Or ginormous.  I can’t think of any other words to describe this task, so I’ll just introduce the song.  This week we are talking about “Humungous Tree”.   https://soundcloud.com/user-946961552/episode-127-humungous-tree Humungous Tree  Appearance  Brothers...

Knock Knock. Who’s there? Barenaked ABCs with special guest Fully Clothed Gents, the premiere BNL-tribute band, and we are talking about “Humor of the Situation”. It’s a great discussion with absolutely no funny business (yeah, right).  https://soundcloud.com/user-946961552/episode-126-the-humor-of-the-situation Humor of the Situation  Plug  Fully Clothed Gents  https://ww...

I worked hard on this week’s episode, even though the quality doesn’t quite sound like it.  I had to keep asking “How’s The Level?”  And finally had to answer “Okay”.  So please forgive me if Jeff’s audio sounds Buck Naked.  Oh… and we are discussing all these things this week.  https://soundcloud.com/user-946961552/episode-125-hows-the-level Buck Naked  (new rip)  Appearance&...

I bet you are wondering how long we can keep the podcast going?  A LONG TIME!  Long enough to cover “How Long” at least.   https://soundcloud.com/user-946961552/episode-124-how-long How Long online  Interview with Ed  Ed Robertson Offers Songwriting Tips For Tunes That Soar Through Sentiment BNL playing live  Appearances  Kevin tinkling the ivories for this song  Practicin...

I have one of my oldest friends joining me this week, and you know what, it feels like I’m “Home”.  So join us as we discuss this deep cut from the “Are Me” album.  https://soundcloud.com/user-946961552/episode-123-home Appearance  https://www.facebook.com/canadagameshows/videos/2344178152353868/?v=2344178152353868 https://www.facebook.com/canadagameshows/videos/1924358253...

Welcome to Christmas in… May…. June?  What month are we in now?  Are we still even in 2020?  All sense of reality is gone, and this song is not helping.  Luckily I am surrounded by some great friends, including Katherine Cornetta to talk about this week’s “song”.   https://soundcloud.com/user-946961552/episode-122-holly-jolly-christmas Holly Joll...

We’ve come a long ways and I’m getting tired.  So we brought my friend Kristen Seavey from “Little Stories Podcast” on this week to hold my hand while we discuss this week’s song.   https://soundcloud.com/user-946961552/episode-121-hold-my-hand Appearance  Brand New song at the songwriter’s panel     Plugs  https://kylielow.com/littlestoriespo...

Hello! Sorry. I was just playing hide and seek with my male child. He is doing a great job though and I can’t find him. So I’m going to record this podcast while I wait for him to come out. This week we are going to discuss “Hidden Sun” with Bryan Parry.  https://soundcloud.com/user-946961552/episode-120-hidden-sun “Hidden Sun” from Maroon  Ken Nordine’s “Maroon”  RIP...

We are back but we are running in terror.  Spring is here and the geese have returned.  So I’m just going to stay inside and talk with Mil Feirn about this song from Snacktime.   https://soundcloud.com/user-946961552/episode-119-here-come-the-geese Song from Snacktime  Appearance   (real appearance is go listen to Calm and Cents)  On ships and dip 5  https:/...

You may feel like this week’s episode is a repeat, but I promise you it isn’t.  You haven’t been here before. But I’m happy to hear that you long for the sound of our voices and analyses that much. Speaking of familiar voices, we have Erik Butterworth returning to discuss this late BNL tune.  https://soundcloud.com/user-946961552/episode-118-here-before Where can you find this song off&n...

Hello St. John’s.  Hello Lancaster.  Hello Lewiston.  Hello…. oh, hello you! I was busy saying hello to every city that listens.  But this might take a while.  In the meantime, join Aaron, Jeff, Andrew, and Justin as we discuss one of BNL’s seminal songs, “Hello City”  https://soundcloud.com/user-946961552/episode-117-hello-city Versions  Barenaked Recess (less than six copies wer...

This week we had a guest from the other side of the country. We had to bring him in through the air to get here in time. Given social distancing, airplane travel didn’t seem right. So David Kincannon brought his own helicopter. I love it when a plan comes together. And speaking of veterans, this week we discuss a protest song, “Helicopters”.  https://soundcloud.com/user-94...

Well, in our current culture, there are a lot of things that I want again. But this week we talk about wanting her back again. No guests this week, which makes me want them again.  However, we have Aaron back. So enjoy us being back again this week.  https://soundcloud.com/user-946961552/episode-115-he-makes-me-want-her-again “He Makes Me Want Her Again” https://www.youtube.com...

Welcome to the Barenaked ABCs.  This week we are talking with one of the few people to have written a song with Ed that then recorded that song without BNL. But beyond that, he is a country music legend who has been recording for more than 40 years. I’ll leave the big intro for the episode, but this guy is an amazing storyteller.  I hope you enjoy our conversation with John Berry. ...

Who better to talk about having a baby than 4 guys?!  No. We aren’t mansplaining. This song is about a man having a baby. So it works (thank goodness, because we are still without Michelle for a while). Don’t have a cow, man. Just sit back, relax, and listen to 4 guys talking about a really fun song.  https://soundcloud.com/user-946961552/episode-113-having-a-baby “(Steve...
