Lyrics To Go

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.

Seth and Marc listen through gritted teeth to the James Blunt light rock hit You're Beautiful. A song which is creepy even according to the songwriter though it is semi-autobiographical. Doesn't that tell you everything you need to know?

The guys have John Fahy (Profiles In Eccentricity) and Joe Lachut (7 Inches To Freedom/Graveyard Shift Screenprinting) on to talk about a song that is about a desire so great, you can't do 2nd grade math: Simply Irresistible. The claims get crazier and crazier as the song culminates in the narrator and his love interest forming into one being. Like The Fly. Special Guests: Joe Lachut and John Fahy...

We know many people love The Boss.... including us! But you can't deny the strangeness and, yes, creepiness of his spooky hit I'm On Fire. This song hits you with the "little girl/daddy" and cleans up the place with some good emotional manipulation right at the end for good measure. And yodeling for desert!

Shucks! Marc and Seth call in dear friends Tim and Joee to splay open the chest of Sophie B. Hawkins hit Damn I Wish I Was Your Lover. There are a lot of appalling things going on here from weird mommy stuff to emotional manipulation of a woman who is being abused to try and win her heart. Yowzers. Special Guests: Joee Patterson and Tim Clark.

The 1960's were a time of great music, free love, and creeps predating on women who were into the free love movement. Seth and Marc look into Time Of The Season. Slick with great musicianship, lines like "what's your name? who's your daddy?" make it pretty hard to ignore the filth dripping off this dude.

Seth and Marc go through the high school drama of Judy's Turn To Cry, the sequel to It's My Party. The biggest question going through these lyrics leaves us with is: Who would want to date any of these pieces of shit?

Seth and Marc uncover the high amount of sibling creepiness and mystery that is present in the Night Ranger hit song Sister Christian. At its very best, seemingly a controlling song trying to tell the titular Christian not to have sex and, at its worst, calling his sister "babe."

Seth and Marc round out Policepril with one of the band's most well known songs.... Roxanne; a song about a man's growing intensity to take a woman from being a prostitute whether she likes it or not and makes her aware that they are now together. Anti-sex worker AND scary. Quite a combo!

For the penultimate episode of Policepril, we get ultra-incel with the emotionally manipulative Can't Stand Losing You. And this time.... we brought a friend! Mike Kiniry joins us to take a deep hard look at this one. A pop hit about making someone feel bad for breaking up with you by killing yourself? Sure... why not? Special Guest: Mike Kiniry.

As Policepril marches on, so do the creepy hits. This time, Sting and Co. are talking about a young horny teacher fucking one of his students in the song that was adopted by many during the pandemic... Don't Stand So Close To Me! A very peculiar song for an ex-English teacher to sing and say "it's not about me!" but here we are.

A very happy Policepril to you all! We're doing a month of some of the creepiest, suprisingest, or possibly misunderstoodiest songs by hit 70's-80's supergroup The Police. We're working backwards in our timeline so we'll start at the end with their biggest hit; the extremely frightening Every Breath You Take. Draw the blinds, find under the covers, and don't make a sound... they'll be watching you...

The guys try to look as deep as you can into a song that seems to be based off of a remark made by an ex-girlfriends college roommate about a decade earlier and a bunch of stupid made up lingo; Sex And Candy by Marcy Playground. A song that sounds like it's about pedophilia and it isn't but it still sucks.

Does it get any worse than Brown Sugar? You be the judge! Marc and Seth pick apart another Rolling Stones song and this time, they're excusing and glorifying treating a woman like shit with the non-single Under My Thumb.

Seth and Marc get the help of friends Logan and Adam to get deeeeep inside a song that's maybe so obvious that you didn't think it was about what it's about. One of the longest episodeepisodes yet with tons of great conversation about LGBTQ rights so make sure you pack a lunch. Special Guests: Adam and Logan.

This is the full 2 hour discussion about the song Relax by Frankie Goes To Hollywood. There is a lot that got cut out about LGBTQ rights, stories about the gay nightlife in Fort Myers, chunks of stuff we talked about in the music video, some funny banter, and issues and information about things in the queer community writ large. It was really difficult to decide what to cut out so I wanted to also...
