Lyrics To Go

Seth and Marc invite past guest Nick to talk about a song he referred to as "hot doo-doo ass"; Freaxxx by Brokencyde. There is not much to say about this song other than it is horrendous and I'm sorry we did it. Special Guest: Nick Hanlon.

The dudes try their hand at a rough translation of the 80's a-ha hit Take On Me. Is this a case of Norwegian-to-English mayhem or is it just stupid and kind of creepy?

This week, the guys go over one of the creepiest hits of the 21st century so far... Blurred Lines by nepo-baby Robin Thicke. Contrary to popular belief, we do not "want it." Yikes.

The guys take a trip across the pond to listen to British boy band 5ive and their first hit single Slam Dunk (Da Funk.) It is chock full of basketball references that sound like they come from someone who heard about basketball from a distant friend once. They also talk about merging their penii together.

Seth and Marc talk about their love-hate relationship with Jason Mraz and, particularly, the cheesiness of his song I'm Yours which goes into his philosophy about giving and love like it was written by a college flunky on MDMA.

The guys invite first time guests Chris and Crissy to talk about the elephant in the holiday room... Baby, It's Cold Outside. Is it as bad as people say? Is it worse? We have a lengthy discussion about the lyrics, consent, and modern covers. Special Guests: Chris DeNoto and Crissy DeNoto.

The guys talk about the Warrant hit single that almost never was: Cherry Pie. Written at the last moment and changing the course of direction for the band, this song is riddled with terrible lyrics that sound like they were written by a bunch of horny 20-something year olds... oh wait.

Seth and Marc pull the lyrics for Steve Miller Band's Abracadabra out of a big ol' hat to tatalk about how terrible they are. Apparently about a variety of things including Diana Ross, the Original Amateur Hour, and panties with angels' faces on them, this song is a doozy. Unfortunately, they are not able to make them disappear.

The guys get into the depths of the lyrics to REO Speedwagon's monster ballad Keep On Loving You. Known for its chorus proclaiming a never-ending love, the verses tell a much bleaker story that is often overshadowed.

A monster-sized episode! The guys are back after a mini vacation and have the immense joy to talk about the did-you-know-ness of You Can Call Me Al. How deep can a song with Chevy Chase lip sync-ing the lyrics in the music video get? You be the judge. Also, a big announcement!

The guys listen to the 1979 ZZ Top ode to shitty eyewear... Cheap Sunglasses. Partially about the titular glasses, it's also about stalking a woman because hey! Why not?

Seth and Marc would like to make themselves believe... that these lyrics are not complete ass. The guys stay up late poring over the lyrics to the nonsense insomniac diddy Fireflies by Owl City. A song about getting hugs ad learning to dance from bugs. Okay...

Woooaaah! Seth and Marc struggle to find the real message behind the 311 reggae rock ballad Amber. With lyrics that sound like they were made up on the fly by a horny frat guy trying to get some strange, are we just wasting our time? Probably

Seth and Marc finish out Princetober with Princes first hit: Little Red Corvette. Yet another episode that compares women to cars and then about having sex with them. But this time, with a little bit of horse imagery as well to make it extra weird.

Seth and Marc celebrate episode 200 in the midst of Princetober with the very troublesome Work That Fat. This isn't a single and, in some ways, it's barely a song. A voice-altered Prince makes a bunch of middle school jokes at a fat woman's expense while also saying how much he loves fat women. Yikes.

Princetober continues with The Guys about Gett Off, a song about a rumor Prince heard about the last time a woman had sex. Seems kind of rude, but it prompts him to let her know that people are talking about her... which also seems a little weird.

Seth and Marc kick off Princetober with his very controversial and very punky song Sister. If you know anything about Prince's hypersexuality, the title should worry you... and with good reason.

This week, Seth and Marc grab a couple of parasols and head down to everyone's favorite destination: Kokomo! A fall from grace from the band that brought us one of the best albums in pop music history, this piece of hot trash is on many lists of worst songs... and the lyrics are definitely a part of that equation.

Seth and Marc get deep into the psyche of an obsessive man depraved of love with the song Got My Mind Set On You as made famous by ex-Beatle George Harrison. Originally written by Rudy Clark and first covered by James Ray, when you start to do some digging, the lyrics bring about more questions than they answer.

The guys bring on dear friend and resident Liam Gallagher hater Fletcher to work through the hit song Wonderwall. A song that was and then was not about Liam's then-girlfriend, the meaning was changed to be about an invisible friend that he's gaslighting... but no one is buying it. Least of all us. Special Guest: Fletcher Herman.

Seth and Marc invite past guest favorite Doug (and Rebecca!) to discuss the strangely religious Holy Diver by Dio. Tigers and stripes and hearts and a midnight sea. What the hell? Special Guest: Doug Davison.

Seth and Marc invite favorite guest Jamie to talk about a song written Willis Alan Ramsay, covered with moderate success by America, and then covered with much greater success by Captain and Tennille... we are, of course, talking about Muskrat Love. One of the only hit songs about a rodent, and the only song about muskrats fucking. Special Guest: Jamie Carmichael.

Seth and Marc bump and grind to the late 90's boner-themed Too Close by Next. How did anyone take this song seriously?! A song about getting a hard on from dancing close to a woman who then tells him "enough is enough."

Seth and Marc get very deep into the history of Eddy Grant's hit Electric Avenue after a few suggestions from listeners.... and boy, what a background it is. A tale that starts in the 1940s and culminates in a bop with some questionable rhyme schemes.

A super-size episode! Seth and Marc invite past guests Kristin and Fletcher to talk about the boy band orgasm anthem Liquid Dreams. We discuss whether this song is exclusively about wet dreams, how long it would take of constant coming until you went to the hospital, and Seth's INSANE take on the catalyst for this song. Special Guests: Fletcher Herman and Kristin Herman.
