Lyrics To Go

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.

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!
