Lyrics To Go

Seth and Marc get out the ol' whiteboard to try and make heads or tails out of this classic rock juggernaut that catapulted Aerosmith back into the limelight. Is it transphobic? Is it fetishising? How does he make that "gi-gi-gi-gi-gi-gi-gi-gi" noise so fast?!

A beach bum's wild fantasy about a delicious burger or a Kafka-esque hellscape in which he wakes up as a full formed "sensuous treat" that has no choice but to desire to eat himself from the outside in? You be the judge.

Another week, another creepy guy talking about cradles... this time, it's Gregg Allman and the song he made famous: "I'm No Angel." Proudly proclaiming how much of a troubled past he has and openly admitting to planned theft. Come on and love me, baby.

If you're "letting someone go" but you're really just trying to frighten them into staying with you, how much of a shitbag are you? Probably a big one. The guys take on Yusuf Islam's Wild World... the song that may have spurned the song I'm Just A Girl by No Doubt.

The guys go back to the Golden Age of music... The Wrecking Crew, the Wall of Sound, and the Horny Old Guy. Seth and Marc take a look at the rollercoaster of emotions that is Young Girl by Gary Puckett and the Union Gap. It's in the name!

Seth and Marc call on Doubled Feature's co-host Max to ask themselves "with friend's like Rick, who needs friends?" That's right, they're taking on Rick Springfield's Jessie's Girl and all of the mania and stalking that go along with it. Special Guest: Max Arnall.

What do you get when you mix a molecular biologist, a former janitor, and some ridicule of the white middle class? Seth and Marc unfortunately find out in this week's episode where they look into the lyrics to Pretty Fly (For A White Guy)

Seth and Marc look into the true meaning behind one of the 90's upbeat and infection jams; Semi-Charmed Life by Third Eye Blind. Is it all as lush and catchy as it sounds or is there a terrible crystal meth addiction and some red panties hidden somewhere in there?

Seth and Marc painfully comb over the lyrics to Barbie Girl which are either creepy as hell or misogynistic as hell. Throw in the terrible music video and awful voices and this one hurt.

The guys look into the lyrics for the hit Outkast/Andre 3000 song Hey Ya! one of the rare episodes where the lyrics are actually amazing but the meaning has been overlooked and that's all part of the genius.

Break out your ancient synthesizers and handclaps... Seth and Marc will bring the eggnog and discuss the frightening endurance of the strange and simple Wonderful Christmastime. Did he write it when he was 8? Why can't we look down? Why didn't anyone tell him how boring this song is?

Seth and Marc can't get enough shitting all over Nickelback. This time, it's their weird and questionable pro-bro-anthem Figured You Out which posits that even though the narrator loved all of these behaviors from the beginning, it's okay to suddenly change course and say he knows the "real" her and dump her while nothing changes. Classic.

As soon as we decided on doing another Red Hot Chili peppers song, I had to call in my bud who can't stand them. Greg from Nice Guys stops back in to help unfurl the lyrical diarrhea that AKieds is spewing out of both ends this time; like usual, 10% sense making to 90% insane drivel... and hypocritical drivel at that. Special Guest: Greg Gebhard.

Seth and Marc take a look at the song with a title that wouldn't age too well.... P.Y.T. What's this all about and why is he being so insistent? And what in the fuck is a tenderoni?

Seth and Marc grab their sequined gloves, their pet chimps, and their arrested development from being pushed to the point of exhaustion as a child and tackle the extremely repetitive Smooth Criminal... the song that made everybody named "Annie" want to immediately change it.

EPISODE 100! We sit down with dear friend and co-host of our sister podcast Know Nonsense Trivia Podcast Lee The B to uncover the true meaning behind How Bizarre. What starts out sounding like a song about a boring acid trip where cops harass you, you see a ringmaster come out of a poster, and you ask for people to pay to find out what happens at the end of the story ends up possibly being about s...

Marc and Seth throw some essentials into a suitcase and take off with the lovely Lisa Stansfield to find her baby in the terribly creepy and non-self aware All Around The World.

The Honorable Shitty British Boy Band presiding... What do you get when Simon Cowell puts together a 3rd rate boy band and put them in a room with some Norwegian producers? Unfortunately, it seems like you get a terrible song with about a baker's dozen references to court-oriented stuff but without really knowing how court works. And bad rapping.

BOO! There's only one thing scarier than ghouls and goblins on Halloween.... and that is Van Halen fronted by Gary Cherone! We brought you the next scariest thing; Van Halen fronted by a very horny Sammy Hagar. Why not compare love-filled sex to a dense bread? Well, we'll tell you why.

The dudes take a crack at Modest Mouse's idea of a positive song.... whether you like it or not. Isaac Brock tries on some of his weird codified language for this positivity-through-nihilism anthem and we're not so sure it works.

A slight change of course... Seth and Marc aren't talking about lyrics that are bad, but about a song that is misinterpreted... The Boss's Born In The USA. Often seen by fist-pumping, over-excited people who just like to chant "U!S!A!" a lot as a pro-patriot anthem, the truth is much darker.

Seth and Marc are back together post-Hurricane Ian to listen to Travie McCoy and Bruno Mars wax poetic about what he would do if he was a billionaire. The short list? Have a TV show, wake up in different cities, play basketball with the president, and MAYBE help with Hurricane Katrina victims. This guy kind of sucks.

The guys take a little trip to the Caribbean to visit the troublesome reggae hit Sweat by the Bad Boys of Inner Circle. If the music video has anything to say about what's going on here, we got a song about a guy getting a littllllle ahead of himself because he saw someone smile and immediately thinks that's a good queue to tell her he wants to fuck her into exhaustion. Not what we'd recommend. Be...

Seth and Marc are here to tell you what this song is about. Mark Foster and his People are here to tell you how great they are and how truly important this song is. Today, we look at what's going on in this repetitive earworm outside of the boring chorus and talk about whether or not it hits the Mark.

Yikes. Double yikes. TRIPLE yikes, even. This short-played single dealing with abuse seen as love through the eyes of the abused was pretty instantly put on the back burner and with good reason. Carole King and her then husband writing a song about their babysitter who was showing up bruised at the hands of her boyfriend and making it into a hit with Phil Spector? QUADRUPLE YIKES.
