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.
-
This one's a head scratcher... but is it with good reason? The guys dig deep into the half-assed lyrics for the first Foo Fighters' single This Is A Call looking for some meaning.
-
A song that's been sitting on The List for a while, Seth and Marc get into the good and the bad of All About That Bass by Meghan Trainor. A song that is championed by the songwriters as a banner for body positivity, The Guys take a look at why it's positive and what's left over.
-
Marc and Seth cleanse themselves of the grossness of last week by talking through the lyrics to Goodbye Earl by the (Dixie) Chicks! The guys have a discussion about country music, how good The Chicks are, and ask the question... did Earl HAVE to die?
-
The guys talk about Garry Glitter's single Do You Wanna Touch Me? (Oh Yeah!) Already creepy on its own, when you read about the laundry list of awful things he did it feels even worse. How high will this one rate on the Creep Factor? Pretty damn high.
-
Seth and Marc go through the daunting task of reading through all three verses of MiMS' breakout hit This Is Why I'm Hot. SPOILER ALERT: Why is he hot? Simple.... because he is.
-
Davis Ford take on the troublesome lyrics of Bell Biv DeVoe's Do Me! (replete with exclamation mark) A "song about sex" according to Billboard, the ex-New Edition members Trojan-Horsed a very troubling bit in the second verse allegedly written by a very famous rapper.
-
Seth and Marc battle head-on against James and Dash (better known as Seals & Crofts) as they discuss the song Unborn Child. Based off of a poem written by a producers wife, the easy rock duo sing to a fetus that can't hear them and be really fucking shitty.
-
Marc and Seth have a little too much fun talking about the lyrics to Steely Dan's non-single but single-esque Dirty Work. This one was an editing nightmare and it's still over an hour. What is this dirty work they're speaking of?
-
Marc and Seth dig into what it means to be Turning Japanese as sung by The Vapors. Rife with stereotypes in both music AND music video, the guys talk about the creepy lyrics and the line between paying homage to a culture and shitting all over it.
-
Seth and Marc throw on some white t-shirts, slick their pompadours up with some pomade, and look under the hood of the musical-turned-hit-single Greased Lightning. Watch out if the kids are in the car as these lyrics contain some pretty strange sexual terms and complete lack of knowledge about cars.
-
Seth basks in the glory of country music and Marc sits idly by as they dissect the lyrics to the predatory That Summer by Garth Brooks. Listen to the tale of Ol' Leatherhands and what she does to a teenage boy.
-
Seth and Marc need 10cc's of medical knowledge given to Bon Jovi STAT! The guys try to figure out what makes medicine "bad," why no one else is able to help the narrator, and discuss fake endings.
