Lyrics To Go

Seth and Marc talk about the Americana coming-of-age ditty Jack & Diane by John Cougar. Switching between horny verses and existentialist choruses, this song paints a Midwest hell where people suck on hot dogs with chili on them and fuck under trees and opt for some strange words and turns of phrase that you'd maybe be familiar with if you grew up in Bumfuck, Indiana like "dribble off those Bo...

Seth and Marc take on the third single from Sublime's self-titled album; Wrong Way. A song about a 14-year-old who is prostituted by her father who is picked up by a "hero" who paid to have sex with a 14-year-old prostitute. Dub style!

The guys scrub in to take a deep look at Paul Anka's (You're) Having My Baby which has been called chauvinistic upon many other things. Is the hype real? Is this song as self-obsessed as it seems? We certainly think there is a good case to be made...

Seth and Marc look at a song that was described as "racist, sexist and fetishistic" all in one fell swoop; Island Girl by Elton John (and Bernie Taupin.) A song that is swinging for a Caribbean feel and ends up being tone deaf in more than one way.

Seth and Marc drag the proverbial lake of lyrics in search of a line that isn't creepy as fuck in the song Possum Kingdom by Toadies. Unfortunately, they seem to come up pretty empty-handed.

Seth and Marc bring past favorite guests Adam and Logan to get into the inner workings of Lola by The Kinks. On one hand, we talk about what the lyrics reveal to people who may have heard the song in passing. On the other, we have a discussion on whether or not this song is transphobic and some of the lines that are double entendres. Minds were changed! Eyes were opened! Special Guests: Adam and L...

Seth and Marc bring on Kristin, a recovering Buckcherry fan, to rip Crazy Bitch apart limb from limb. How high will the Creep Factor go on this one? Special Guest: Kristin Herman.

The guys give a bit of a death metal history lesson before launching an all-out assault on the neanderthal-esque lyrics of Andrew WK's Party Hard. Incomplete thoughts and sentences abound in spite of his intelligence. Where did he go wrong?

Seth and Marc look past the first 2 better known verses of Jailhouse Rock by Elvis Presley and discover a little surprise!

The guys revisit Billy Squire with his early 80's hit non-single and best attempt at a Led Zeppelin song: Lonely Is The Night. These lyrics are an unmitigated disaster and even Billy's weak explanation leaves us scratching our heads... join us on our descent into madness.

Today, Seth and Marc find themselves in an elevator with New England's own Aerosmith for their ultra horny single Love In An Elevator. We discuss the music video, the complications of oral sex in an elevator, and the death wish hidden within.

The guys unveil the true story behind the 90's hit The Way which catapulted Fastball into the limelight. The lyrics, which seem to be about a couple who decide to shrug off the banality of the normal life in exchange for a life roaming the world, actually have a much sadder history.

Marc and a very horned-up Seth talk about a power pop song for all of the niche demographic of "boys who are into the mom of a girl that has a thing for them instead of the girl"... Stacy's Mom from Fountains of Wayne. Is this song about a woman who is trying to turn a prepubescent on or is he just reading too into things? Or both?

The guys take another trip down AC/DC lane with their perplexing hit Dirty Deeds Done Dirt Cheap. 3 verses about people who have been wronged and trying to figure out exactly what he's doing to each of them. Sex? Murder? Contract negotiations? What in the fuck is going on?

Seth and Marc get funky with the Bee Gee's stalker anthem Nights On Broadway. Not their biggest hit, but definitely up there with the creepiest. One part waiting in the dark and one part voices-in-his-head, the Brothers Gibb go in deep with the first single to highlight their famous falsetto.

Seth and Marc are entranced by the sultry sounds of Ricky Martin's hit Livin' La Vida Loca. A catchy ditty that tells the story of a woman who is up to some real creepy shit like black cats and voodoo dolls.

Seth and Marc invite metal lover and Strip Club Mom Doug Davison to splay open the W.A.S.P. single Animal (Fuck Like A Beast). Starts out aggressively horny and turns aggressively aggressive AND horny. Special Guest: Doug Davison.

The guys get serious this week talking about the real meaning behind a quintessential 90's song: Zombie by The Cranberries. Due to its title, it shows up on countless Halloween playlists but is about something much more fiendish than All Hallow's Eve: The Troubles.

Step right up... and don't be shy! The guys get to look inside another world and talk about this heaping pile of 80's objectification brought to you by The Tubes. With lyrics that stem from the singer's encounter at a peep show, what could go wrong?

Seth and Marc crack open another song from the Knights In Satan's Service; and this time, it's Love Gun! Seems simple enough: a song about the singers dick. But are there more sinister things at play? We think so.

Every once in a while, the guys have something nice to say.... and this is one of those times. Well, about the song at least. They get into the inner workings of Hook by Blues Traveler which is much more clever than most people that have passively listened to it may have realized.

The guys get deep into the weeds trying to make heads or tales out of Daniel Powter's unfortunate hit song Bad Day. A song that became so loved but seems to be rolling its proverbial eyes at anyone really going through a rough patch in life... the kind of an attitude only a guy who always wears a beanie could have.

Seth and Marc are up for a little surprise with Dion's The Wanderer.... or are they? What looks like it's a song about a horny dude who sees women as nothing but the holes they have might be about something a lot sadder.

Finally, the guys get to dissect someone that Seth has had on his creep-dar from the jump: Eric Carmen with the Dirty Dancing hit Hungry Eyes. A classic of "I know you want me, so you may as well give in" complete with having someone "in [his] sights." For the love of Christ.

The guys put Eve 6's biggest hit Inside Out in a blender and watch it spin around to a terrible oblivion. It's kind of hard to tell exactly what's going on here though the general meaning of the song is somehow understood... sort of like knowing carbon monoxide could be filling a room and that you can die of it but you can't see it.
