Lyrics To Go

The guys talk about the troublesome lyrics in Paul Revere and The Raiders' hit song Steppin' Out. One part unclear, two parts vaguley threatening, and two parts sounding like a revenge sex song, this is a strange one in many aspects.

Another day, another shitty British boy band... this time in the form of Another Level and their death rattle that was Bomb Diggy. Touting what might be the dumbest half of a chorus in the shows history, this is a real dump.

The guys throw on their cowboy hats and listen to the drivel that is God Made Girls by The Voice quarterfinalist Raelynn. Is it misogynist? Is it saying men are useless without women? Maybe both!

Another day, another song where the narrator descends into madness. Seth and Marc go to therapy with the boys in Saliva to see what Click Click Boom is all about... and it ain't a whole lot of fun.

For episode 250, the guys work on ironing out the anti-male model song I Can't Dance by prog-rock-cum-pop band Genesis. This song was called "provocatively smug" which we couldn't agree more with. AND it sucks.

Seth and Marc take the wild ride provided by Beyonce and Co. in Destiny's Child's hit Cater 2 U. What starts off sweet and lovely turns into a red flag the size of Texas half way through. Can they pull the nose up before the song is over?

WOAAHHH YEAHHH! The guys find out what the hell is going on in the sad verses of the glam rock hit The Ballroom Blitz by The Sweet... and YES, both of those are supposed to have "The"s in front of them.

The guys talk about the first big stateside hit by way of New Zealand... Split Enz and their certified creepfest I Got You. Somehow, someone obsessing over you sounds even weirder in an accent. Boy, is it a doozy!

The guys talk about the highest-charting song by The Romantics; Talking In Your Sleep. The only thing that eclipse the creepiness of this is how it doesn't make sense in the end.

The guys invite listener-favorite Jamie back for what ends up being a monster-sized episode to discuss the Peggy Scott-Adams' questionable hit Bill. After a lengthy talk about the singer's history, the conversation turns to these FIVE VERSES worth of lyrics and what the intentions were. Special Guest: Jamie Carmichael.

Seth and Marc get deep into the repetitive lyrics for Blue Oyster Cult's last hit Burnin' For You. What does it all mean and does it even matter when a song rocks this hard?

The guys are on a roll and decide to talk about the Spin Doctor's hit song Two Princes. This one leaves a lot of questions to be answered. Who wants to have rockets bought for them? Should that person be trusted? Are these lyrics all about one prince? And why does this guy think "no future" is a selling point?

Seth and Marc dust off the ol' classic If You Wanna Be Happy as made famous by Jimmy Soul. Somehow, it manages to simultaneously make "pretty" and "ugly" women feel terrible in one fell swoop and, at the same time, make marriage sound like a worthless endeavor. Impressive!

Seth and Marc discuss the legacy of Terry Bollea (aka Hulk Hogan) before trudging through the jingoistic 2nd grade poetry that is Real American as sung by Rick Derringer. A song that has aged like the Cold War, there is some interesting history to be learned and some talk to be had about what makes someone indefensible.

The guys talk about the Depeche Mode sleeper single It's No Good. Is it a big surprise that this band wrote a macabre song about being obsessed with someone like this? In hindsight, hell no.

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.
