Lyrics To Go

Seth and Marc take on another boy band from across The Pond... this time in the form of One True Voice's cover of the Bee Gee's stinker Sacred Trust. What starts off as a bewildering set of lyrics possibly turns into one of the biggest realizations in L2G history!

Seth and Marc finally rip off the Weezer band aid and talk about the beginning of the decline of the band with their first post-Matt Sharp single Hash Pipe. What is it, what is it about, and how was it written? Does anything matter anymore?

The guys just can't stay away from Rod Stewart who always has a creepy one in the chamber. This time, it's a blues cover called Good Morning Little Schoolgirl; his first single for Decca Records. Surprisingly, this isn't the creepiest song he does though it does raise the ol' hackles.

Seth and Marc invite good friend and recovering shitty-music lover Nick back to talk about an embarrassing song that is supposedly a "homage" to horror movies by Murderdolls. The song is called Dead In Hollywood and we wish they were. Special Guest: Nick Hanlon.

The guys continue with their guest-a-thon when they invite Jamie back to talk about the Mariah Carey stage 5 clinger hit Always Be My Baby. How much of a pass does Mariah get because she's well... Mariah? Not a whole lot. Special Guest: Jamie Carmichael.

AWOOOOO! Seth and Marc invite close friend and Zevon-lover Fletcher back to talk about Werewolves of London. Is this song about anything deeper than a Chinese food-loving lycanthrope living in England? Seth and Jackson Browne say yes, but everyone else disagrees. Special Guest: Fletcher Herman.

The guys invite past guest Kristin back to wallow in the sadness that she created by suggesting Concrete Angel by Martina McBride. Listed number 1 on Rolling Stones' list of saddest songs, this one is just trying to punch you in the face with depression. And it works. Special Guest: Kristin Herman.

Seth and Marc discuss the one-hit blunder You Get What You Give by New Radicals. A whiny anti-establishment song by someone who is putting out albums paid for by people who are the establishment is a bit of a strange choice and we hate it.

The guys talk about the ultra-horny (and ultra frightening) lyrics to Sabrina Carpenter's anthem for this fast-paced world; Busy Woman. Dripping wet with sexual innuendos and shooting loads of double entendres everywhere she goes, Sabrina lets us know how quickly she'll come if you want her and also warns us of what happens if you don't.

The guys listen to the extremely predatory Blame It by famed entertainer Jamie Foxx and featuring T Pain. At last; An anthem for men who purposefully get women drunk to lower their inhibitions even after they're told that they don't want to pursue anything sexual.

Marc and Seth delve into the last Steve Miller Band song they'll ever do..... maybe. The Joker by Steve Miller Band is a self-referential nightmare with made-up words that were stolen from other songs that made up words AND nearly a whole verse that was stolen. And all for.... THIS?

Marc and Seth invite long-time bud and food magician Skyler to talk about the Foo Fighters song All My Life. The gang pulls back the curtain on what this song is apparently about and try to make heads and/or tails of how it all fits together. Special Guest: Skyler Denison.

Oftentimes, they guys cover songs that have flown under the radar with their offensive or terrible lyrics... and sometimes, they cover songs like Jason Aldean's Try That In A Small Town. Woefully ignorant, dangerous, and replete with a music video with one of the worst backdrops in history. Bad all around.

Seth and Marc discuss the openly creepy Steal My Kisses by Ben Harper and his Innocent Criminals. It's rare that someone openly admits to crossing state lines to kiss a woman against their will but here we are.

Marc and Seth are rocked on their heels by the bold-faced title of Ariana Grande's hit single Break Up With Your Girlfriend, I'm Bored. And to no one's surprise, the lyrics are even worse.

The guys welcome the inimitable Dave Hill to discuss the overtly positive acapella hit Don't Worry, Be Happy by Bobby McFerrin. How would you feel if you were being kicked out of your home and some guy is telling you that being sad about it is making other people sad? Just shut up already. Special Guest: Dave Hill.

The guys re-invite two close friends and beloved guests, Tim and Mike, to talk about ska music... specifically, the lyrics to the only ska song that hit number one in the 90's: The Impression That I Get by the Mighty Mighty Bosstones. Is it a sweet song? Do the lyrics read like the singer muttering to himself? It could be a bit of both. Special Guests: Mike Cosden and Tim Clark.

Seth and Marc talk about the origins of, and the boycott called for, Ram Jam's only hit; Black Betty. Repetitious, rocking, and awkward coming from the mouths of a bunch of long-haired white dudes, this song has left a lasting impression.

Nothing says Lyrics To Go quite like a guy telling a girl/woman that they are too beautiful that they make them want to kill themselves. Marc and Seth talk about lyrics written by a 16 year old that sound like lyrics written by a 16 year old.

The dudes go through the semi-hidden meaning of a song about being bored named after a town in California; Longview. Can it really all be about jerking off because you're smoking too much pot? Yeah, pretty much.

Seth and Marc discuss the Spinners cover of Working My Way Back To You. What is probably supposed to be passed off as a sweet song of self-reflection is really just psychological torture from a masochistic narcissist.

Seth and Marc invite Arden to discuss the Katy Perry smooching anthem I Kissed A Girl. Is it pro-bi or is it objectifying queer women for the sake of a hit song? Maybe both. Special Guest: Arden Simon.

The guys go against the advice of T-Boz, Left Eye, and Chilli and chase Waterfalls by TLC where they discuss sex worker kinks, drug dealers, and whether or not "chasing waterfalls" is a good analogy.

Seth and Marc are graced with the presence of "Chef" Kevin Bartelt of Hollywood Handbook/We're Here To Help/Action Boyz/etc. fame to talk about the troublesome single Invisible. Originally performed by Irish boy band D-Side, Clay Aiken actually heard it and decided to put out his own version. What we want to know is... why? Special Guest: Kevin Bartelt.

The faint smell of Aqua-Net is in the air... Seth and Marc call upon the expertise of metal lover Doug to discuss the new Motley Crue single Cancelled. This is them at their worst trying desperately to drum up a new fanbase that hates the "woke mob." Unsurprisingly, it sucks. Special Guest: Doug Davison.
