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.  BNL video  Original   Frazey Ford  Wavy voice, lots of vibrato, very slow, I don’t really like it, but I could see how some would. ...

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 “Reload”  Singer Tom Jones, ‘Reloaded’...

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.  Original version  Appearances   If you had the Rock...

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.

Episode 158: Keepin’ It Real   We should call this song review, “Keepin It On Track” because I try very hard to do that.  This week is very religious based, but that is because of the song.  I try to balance it out with the religious view.  But really, we were just  “Keepin’ It Real” with Erik Butterworth.  What are those hidden verses?  "Keepin’ It Real" secret last verse? from barenakedladies Ap...
