Lyrics To Go

Ho ho ho! The guys take on a Christmas classic with the unrelenting Jingle Bell Rock. What does it mean? Why can the jingle hop not begin until there is a snowstorm? What the hell is going one with these jingling feet? Hell if we know...

Hoo hoo! Seth and Marc read through the most boring and useless story possibly ever told; Take The Money and Run by Steve Miller Band. Though they can't deny how catchy the song is, the lyrics tell a tale that, in the end, is insane and was over before it began.

Seth and Marc return to The Offspring to dip into their hit song Want You Bad. Have you ever found yourself in a relationship with someone who is too nice? So you write a song about how you wish they would completely change who they are, get tattoos, and start treating you bad? Me neither.

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 Bobbie Brooks slacks" and "ditty."

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 Logan.

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.
