Episodes

65 - Sunglasses At Night 11.03.2022

Is that partial 3rd person narration we hear? Is Corey Hart losing his marbles? Seth and Marc feel around for some rhyme or reason to the 80's creepy hit that is apparently about being cheated on and trying to not see it? Except it doesn't really succeed in explaining what the fuck is going on and reads like a weirdo talking about switchblades.

64 - Chop Suey 04.03.2022

WAKE UP! Marc and Seth are joined by screen printing professional and all-around bad ass Joe Lachut to... be kind of surprised by the lyrics to an angry circus song. We get into the thick of the verse and chorus that just repeats plus that other part and talk about weird delivery working overtime against lyrics that are actually pretty captivating. Special Guest: Joe Lachut.

63 - Lullaby 25.02.2022

Seth and Marc field a request for a song that resides deep in the depths of Marc's hate bin. Lullaby; the song that Shawn Mullins is so enamored with, he laughs at his own lyrics. Listen to Beck-lite pull an opposite of Hey Jude and take a better song and make it sad. Good luck sleeping after hearing Ol' Man Mullins talk like a sketchy heroin dealer trying to "lull" your 9 year old daughter.

62 - Don't You Want Me 18.02.2022

I was hosting a podcast with my good friend Seth... that much is true. This song is about being a real creepy dick, did you ever have a clue? Listen in as the guys listen to the threats and coercion of a jealous shitbag who can't stand someone leaving him. Sounds like she's out of his.... Human League.

61 - Raise Your Glass 12.02.2022

Marc and Seth Raise their respective Glasses to the best panty snatcher of them all... Pink! On this episode, listen as she lures all of the miscreants of the world into non-stop drinking and wishing for them to just freak out (whatever that entails.)

60 - Who Made Who 04.02.2022

Seth and Marc talk about the title track of the soundtrack to Stephen King's coke-fueled directorial debut AND finale Maximum Overdrive. It also asks one of the dumbest faux philosophical questions of our age: Who Made Who? Listen to Marc's Elmo version of Brian Johnson as the guys try to figure out what the fuck is happening here.

59 - Shake It 28.01.2022

Seth and Marc bring in good friends Rachelle and Daisy Caplan to dismember the lyrics to Shake It by Metro Station. Is it possible that this song is about necrophilia? Withholding a safe ride in exchange for sexual congress? We think it's quite likely. ALSO! The thrilling story of the band name! Special Guests: Daisy Caplan and Rachelle Caplan.

58 - Stupify 21.01.2022

It's hard for us to give just one... FUCK about this pile of shit. Are David Draiman and Co. using antisemitism as a way to push a terrible song? I would say quite possibly. Lyrics that are supposedly about his relationship that was soured due to his Jewish upbringing but sounds more like just a shitty nu metal song with terrible lyrics. Judge for yourself.

57 - Rebel Yell 14.01.2022

You wake up in the middle of the night. The room is pitch black. Is that the sound of an angel pumping on your floor? Seth and Marc throw on the lights and take a look at the atrocious lyrics behind yet another horny Billy Idol song..... the man who will do whatever he needs as long as it doesn't mess up his hair.

56 - Zoot Suit Riot 07.01.2022

Seth and Marc crack open the ancient tomes and give you a bit of a history lesson as they school you on the REAL meaning of Zoot Suit Riot. Then, they go over the shitty lyrics of the real song and talk about how singer Steve Perry (Steeve Perry) didn't really seem to care about what really happened or to let you know... just to use that catchy title. Blow, daddy!

55 - Do They Know It's Christmas? 31.12.2021

Being the UK's best-selling single of all time, you'd think more people would be appalled at the lyrics to Do The Know It's Christmas? Marc and Seth want to make sure they let a few more people know. Check out the song that raised millions for Ethiopian relief while simultaneously saying "What the fuck is Africa like and are these people even human?"

54 - Christmas In The Sand 24.12.2021

HO HO HO! Seth and Marc discuss Colbie Caillat's song about getting heat exhaustion and hallucinating getting fucked by Santa Claus and possibly Rudolph: Christmas In The Sand. This song is a wild ride and a great way to get everyone horny for the holidays. Enjoy!

53 - Marry You 17.12.2021

Seth and Marc are drunk in Sin City and they don't know if it's the look in your eyes... or maybe it's the dancing juice. What they DO know is this song is weird and coercive. A song about getting drunk with someone and not taking no for an answer that ended up being everyone's marriage anthem. Wild times.

52 - Whenever, Wherever 10.12.2021

Seth and Marc invite Kyle Anne on to the show to go through the Shakira translated trainwreck that is Whenever, Wherever. We quickly found out why the title of the song is "Suerte" in Spanish because she says the word "lucky" NINE TIMES over 3 verses. Someone should look hereover and thereunder for whoever let these lyrics get recorded and hang them by their toenails. Special Guest: Kyle Anne Bret...

51 - Graduation (Friends Forever) 03.12.2021

Vitamins S and M breakdown Vitamin C and her song Graduation that might very well have been written for graduating the 5th grade. A song so bad its own lyrics make the rest of its lyrics barely matter and has a rhyme scheme that rivals Dr. Seuss. Also, Canon in D.... in C?!

50 - Fat Lip 26.11.2021

Marc and Seth hold Deryck and Co. accountable for their shitty turn-of-the-century behavior AND eagerness to rub your face in it. Laughing at old people, calling people names, not showing up for people, and much more!

49 - Come On Eileen 19.11.2021

Seth and Marc don their best paperboy outfits and pull apart Come On Eileen to see what lurks inside! As surprising as it is, this song has some great lyrics. As unsurprising as it is, this song also has some incredibly horny lyrics complete with Dexys Midnight Wingmen egging the titular Eileen on. Prepare for British Poetry.

48 - I Wanna Love You Forever 12.11.2021

Seth and Marc enlist long time friend Jamie Carmichael to help power through this sexually charged and possibly religious single from Jessica Simpson. Rife with, what might be, problematic double entendres and a music video that has nothing to do with the song at all, this song poised the would-be Mickey Mouse member for a semi-illustrious music career and getting shat all over by the press. Speci...

47 - Christine Sixteen 05.11.2021

Seth and Marc take on the Knights In Satan's Service with their pedophile anthem Christine Sixteen. Watching a teenage girl walk out of a school? Sure! Talking about her like she's a piece of furniture? Go for it! Making references to getting a handjob right of the rip? Do it, Gene! Strap yourselves in, folks.

46 - Monster Mash 29.10.2021

Seth and Marc have to call in an expert for this MONSTER-osity... Profiles In Eccentricity's own John Fahy has been hating this song since he was a wee lad. For a very spooky Halloween episode, we've brought him in to speak about the shitty sound effects, the stupid storyline, athe full length album, and much more. Special Guest: John Fahy.

45 - More Than Words 22.10.2021

Marc and Seth talk love languages and confusing sentences in this week's episode with More Than Words. The first verse is like a proverbial maze that winds up with a pretty fruitless ending. This song is like if you took a funk metal band and gave them an acoustic guitar and told them to write a song about love.... oh wait,

44 - One Way Or Another 15.10.2021

Seth and Marc come at you with a double banger! Do you know what the words are? AND do you know why they were written? Debbie and a band full of people that aren't blonde are taking you through an 80's power pop stalk fest that changes POV back and forth to get you nice and confused.

43 - The Chair 08.10.2021

Seth feels his oats as he and Marc take on some chart-topping 80's country. The Chair is about as close as you get to a choose-your-own-adventure awkward pick up situation. The music video is basically POV porn with everything except the porn. The whole thing is bumbling and the "reveal" is the biggest let down since Titanic. Strait trash.

42 - My Sharona 01.10.2021

Oohhhhh my little creepy one, my gross-ass one. Marc and Seth peel back the 80's power-pop shine of The Knack's 1979 hit My Sharona. It's catchy, it's got a great beat, and it tells the real story about a guy relentlessly pursuing a girl 8 years younger than him while both people are in relationships until she caves and dates you. MY YI YI YI YI WOOO!

41 - The Warrior 24.09.2021

Seth and Marc crawl into the sordid world of a terrible Cats remake music video and a song that is completely lacking in direction. Who is the titular Warrior? I guess the woman that isn't having the issues? Who's the hunter? Who's the game? What's a stereo jungle child? What the fuck is going on?
