Katie didn't realize the drummer only had 1 arm

Thats literally the only thing that people remember aout Def Leppard

Thanks a lot, Mutt Lange

Everybody Have Fun Tonight- Wang Chung Decomposition

decompositionpod@gmail.com (Decomposition Podcast) — Tue, 12 Jan 2021 05:00:00 +0000

This is an iconic song with an iconic video. We didn't know the words to this song before sitting down to record this episode, but it feels like we picked a good one. Babylon? The edge of oblivion? Strong words?

The song is excellent, and we are all very glad that it wasn't a ballad.

We are also not sure that it was appropriate to have on Alvin and the Chipmunks or Veggie Tales

Things get sexy

Rock out with your chung out

Insert finger guns here

Have fun, wang chung

Merry Christmas, Ya Filthy Animal!

decompositionpod@gmail.com (Decomposition Podcast) — Fri, 25 Dec 2020 05:00:00 +0000

I would like to make this abundantly clear; what is about to get stuck in your head is entirely Natty Bumpercar's fault!

Here are three animal-related Christmas songs.

Ugh, that's all I got, go buy his book

Holiday Road- Lindsey Buckingham Decomposition

decompositionpod@gmail.com (Decomposition Podcast) — Thu, 10 Dec 2020 05:00:00 +0000

Oh Lindsey, where do we even begin. He hardly even tried with this one, and now it is a decades-spanning Christmas classic. Easily the fewest lines per song we have ever discussed. Plus Barking!!

He does some strange things, and makes strange choices...and has for 50 plus years.

Plus you get to learn about the origins of "Windows down, radio up!"

All that and we have a new arch-nemesis!

Take a ride on that West Coast Kick

Banditos- The Refreshments Decomposition

decompositionpod@gmail.com (Decomposition Podcast) — Mon, 30 Nov 2020 05:00:00 +0000

Teresa didn't do her homework. Katie gets saucey.

This song sounds like 1996. If you listened to the radio in 96' then hopefully you remember this song. Or the chorus, at least. The Refreshments released Fizzy, Fuzzy, Big and Buzzy in 96, had a big his with "Banditos." and then promptly disappeared from the radio and Mtv. They are still around today as Roger Clyne and the Peacemakers and still writing fantastic songs. This album is a top 10 for Brad. High energy songs with stellar guitar hooks and excellent writing, to boot. Which is why he owns 2 copies.

Roger Clyne writes Springsteen-esque story-songs that paint a vivid picture without spelling it out for the audience, as if they were the stupid people that populate the world.

Teresa is an excellent guitar playerist "Near, near, near, near..." That's her shredding

this episode gets sexy, Katie can't keep it in her pants

Tempe, AZ's 2nd biggest post-grunge, alt-rock band of the mid-90's

Buffalo Stance- Neneh Cherry Decomposition

decompositionpod@gmail.com (Decomposition Podcast) — Tue, 24 Nov 2020 05:00:00 +0000

Are you ready to party safely? Katie is! Brad is barely awake. But if you are ready for a safe party then turn on Buffalo Stance, do katie's new dance, and buckle up. Neneh Cherry is nothing if not an extremely versatile artist. And we learn a lot about her and her life. From her musical family, to her various musical projects over the years. Learning is fun!!!

This song is wild. DJ Timmy/ Bomb the Bass, Mutant crocodile feet, padded boob warmers. Whats so bad about drinking beer through a straw, and why does Neneh Cherry hate women? Is she british? Another important question; What is a Buffalo Stance? We answer all these questions while also discussing every other song in existence.

So don't you get fresh with me!

Gigolo, sucka!!

Yellow Ledbetter- Pearl Jam Decomposition

decompositionpod@gmail.com (Decomposition Podcast) — Tue, 17 Nov 2020 05:00:00 +0000

This week we try something a little different. We each wrote out what we thought we heard when listening to the song "Yellow Ledbetter." It's an excellent song with famously mush-mouthed lyrics.

Hannah and Carmine, wearing boxers, on the rayside. onna gomman onna way. Who knows? Just sing whatever you want to close out a Pearl Jam concert. Its all about community

Also, Brad doesn't want to hear your opinions

#teresaepisode

Holy Diver- Dio Decomposition

decompositionpod@gmail.com (Decomposition Podcast) — Wed, 29 Apr 2020 04:00:13 +0000

Ronald James Padavona, AKA Ronnie James Dio, died a heavy metal legend in 2010. He left the world a great gift in the form of a little song called "Holy Diver," which feels like a parody of itself.

AllMusic called Dio's work "unquestionably stellar songwriting."

Teresa thinks this song is "fantastically written."

Katie andBrad both think this is rhyming metal-garbage. And yet they love singing along with the song, and Teresa doesn't like it.

Anyway, this episode is a goofy one. Enjoy.

Radiation Vibe- A Decomposition Tribute to the Works of Adam Schlesinger

decompositionpod@gmail.com (Decomposition Podcast) — Tue, 14 Apr 2020 04:00:07 +0000

Nerdy suburban kids need music too. Thankfully we had Adam Schlesinger. The message of many Fountains of Wayne songs was that even if things are terrible now we can still be optimistic and thankful for what we have.

Katie cries.

Its the best spring break ever

Thanks for all you gave us, Adam Schlesinger

We Are Young- fun. ft. Janelle Monae

decompositionpod@gmail.com (Decomposition Podcast) — Mon, 30 Mar 2020 19:31:26 +0000

WE'RE BACK, BABY! And we are quarantined, and thus have time to occasionally record an episode for you guys. 2011 was huge for the band fun. Thats "fun period."

This is a fun-period song, not a fun, period song.

Also, Nate Ruess is history's greatest monster.

Bergenfield, NJ's own Jack Antonoff and his band, fun., smashed two adequate songs together to make one terrible song... and it blew up

They completely underused the talents of Janelle Monae

Then broke up

Bleachers is better.

Stay safe

Digging In The Dirt- Peter Gabriel Decomposition

decompositionpod@gmail.com (Decomposition Podcast) — Wed, 2 Oct 2019 04:00:03 +0000

PSYCHOLOGY!! This song is dark and sticky. And its really really really good. Brad has an idea about the scene, Katie decides whether or not it holds up.

She also has no idea which songs are by Peter Gabriel and which songs are by Phil Collins.

That's all I want to type.

Daydream Believer- The Monkees Decomposition

decompositionpod@gmail.com (Decomposition Podcast) — Wed, 18 Sep 2019 04:00:09 +0000

Katie had no idea what other song by the Monkees contained the word "Believer."

First-time guest John Trumbull joins us in our new podcast studio/ murder basement. Spoiler alert: he doesn't get murdered. John has a lot of Monkee-love (hubba hubba) so it is fitting that we have him over for this song. He has the hat! He brought a DVD! Thats a real fan right there.

This song was the beginning of the end for this fake-band-turned-tv-show-turned-real-band.

Find out how little Peter Tork contributed. Find out why Mike Nesmith is independently wealthy. Find out which non-comedian/ non-Green Lantern wrote this song.

Axl Rose stole his moves from Davy Jones.

Also, the Indigo Girls are a good band, but you may not be able to stay awake during their concert.

This is 3/4 of a good song, but we need more. Now you know how funky it can be.

Call Me Maybe LIVE- Carly Rae Jepsen

decompositionpod@gmail.com (Decomposition Podcast) — Wed, 4 Sep 2019 04:00:15 +0000

Well, it's happened. Brad has finally fully embraced his role as the villain of the podcast. And plenty of people got to watch it happen.
Gawker described this song as "flawless," but somehow we were able to find flaws. This song was a super-mega-hit that was certified Diamond (10 Mil. units sold.)

Shut Up + Dance- Walk The Moon Decomposition

decompositionpod@gmail.com (Decomposition Podcast) — Wed, 7 Aug 2019 04:00:22 +0000

Remembering the name of this band is difficult. It isn't Walk Off The Earth... they are a much better band. Walk The Moon wrote a song that has already been written by several other bands from the 80's.
Why do white people love this song so much? Do white people love this song? Did Brad invent a stereotype?
This one is short and sweet.

Work It- Missy Elliot Decomposition

decompositionpod@gmail.com (Decomposition Podcast) — Wed, 24 Jul 2019 04:00:09 +0000

Bees, Pubes, Elephant trumpets... all sorts of wiedness happening here. And yet, a lesser rapper couldn't pull it off. Thats why Missy Elliot is a gift.
We hear about a new YouTube Channel "Sex Parts with Kate Nichols," so long as there isn't already a "Sex Parts with Fate Pickles," out there already.
For whom is Missy shaving her cha-cha (Cho-cha?) Who knows?
The pube truthers demand an answer!
Second great idea: a lift-and-shape thong for your ba-donk-a-donk-donk.
Did Missy just assume she could speak Chinese?
This song is a clasic that still holds up

Decomposition Interview: Chris Trapper

decompositionpod@gmail.com (Decomposition) — Wed, 10 Jul 2019 04:00:16 +0000

This is a very special episode of Decomposition. Katie and Brad had the chance to interview one of their favorite songwriters around; Chris Trapper, front man for the band The Push Stars.
We discuss the songwriting process, rubbing elbows with other big name musicians, writing hit songs for movies, winning awards, and making hands tremble.

Do You Believe In Love- Huey Lewis and the News Decomposition

decompositionpod@gmail.com (Decomposition) — Wed, 26 Jun 2019 04:00:14 +0000

Patrick Bateman was correct, despite how you feel about his murderous rampage, about Huey Lewis and the News. This is one of Brad's favorite bands. Katie is on board, for the most part, but still finds them to be cheesy. Darin is way, way, WAAAAAAY on board. When they team up against Katie then she is the one who gets schooled!
This song, penned by legendary producer Mutt Lange, was Hu-Lew-and-the-New's first big hit song, which paved the way for 18 other Top 10 hits, was perhaps their cheesiest song with the dumbest lyrics. Cheesy in a wonderful way, though, like a crunchy mozzarella...Darin...right?
Katie learns some hard truths in this episode and we sing lots and lots of great songs.

Fight Song- Rachel Platten Decomposition

decompositionpod@gmail.com (Decomposition) — Wed, 12 Jun 2019 04:00:03 +0000

Are you interested in ways to torture your loved ones? Well, Brad has a technique that you have to try. Rachel Platten wrote this song to convince herself that she still had a place in the music industry, and it quickly became an anthem for overcoming obstacles. Brad uses this song as a punchline for overcoming the tiniest inconveniences. we hope that this song could start a twitter fight(song.) Teresa, very pregnant at the time, has a filthy mind. Words like Pre-chorus, wrecking balls, and the phrase turned-on make her act like a child.
Katie also tries to point out how Rachel Platten is EXACTLY like Gilgamesh. And we all get to hear Teresa go on about how she hates competition.

Ramble On- Led Zeppelin Decomposition

Led Zeppelin; rock gods, right? They really were greater than the sum of their parts. Even with the addition of Robert Plant.
This is a story-song. Is it a story? Who is the main character? Who is his girl? Is she a bluebird? Has it been ten years to the day, or was this years ago in days of old?
Erik is both a Zep-head as well as a LOTR nerd, so there is no better guest suited for this, perhaps the biggest juxtaposition between musical ability and lyrical content.
Did Tom Bombadil get a bad rap?

Donna Summer- MacArthur Park Decomposition

decompositionpod@gmail.com (Decomposition) — Wed, 15 May 2019 04:00:06 +0000

It is frequently considered one of the worst songs of all time. And yet we, as a people, shot this song up onto the charts 5 times since its composition in 1968. The most popular of which was released by Donna Summer as a 17 minute-long suite. We should be ashamed.
Cake melting? Rivers in the sky? Chinese checkers? Somehow it has won two Grammy's.
This is pseudo-surrealism without the benefit of being written by someone who has used drugs.
Jimmy Webb is not good at this...

REM- It's The End Of The World As We Know It (And I Feel Fine)

decompositionpod@gmail.com (Decomposition) — Wed, 8 May 2019 04:00:04 +0000

This isn't your typical episode of Decomposition. This episode is more of a love letter to the band REM. Natty Bumpercar grew up in Macon, Georgia. He went to school at UGA in Athens. Thus, REM is a very important band to him. He has been able to rub elbows with the likes of Stipe, Buck, Mills and Berry on numerous occasions and Michael Stipe himself even doled out the nicest complement Natty has ever gotten.
But fear not, we still have a ton of fun along the way. With discussions about mythology, geography, religion, and Reagan-era politics. Natty tells us about the worst thing he has ever done, which also ties into his first concert experience.
This song is a politically charged, stream-of-consciousness, romp that still makes us sing along 32 years later.

Styx- Mr. Roboto Decomposition

decompositionpod@gmail.com (Decomposition) — Wed, 1 May 2019 04:00:01 +0000

Dennis DeYoung is a crazy person. He created the concept album/ rock-opera "Kilroy Was Here," which was a half-baked idea that essentially caused Tommy Shaw to quit the band. It's easy to see why. This song and, likely the entire album, was garbage. He was like a non-talented Jim Steinman/ Billy Joel/ Jenna Maroney hybrid..
What on Earth does "Modren man," mean? Why on earth does he pronounce "Mannequin," like that? He's not a hero, he's not a savior, but he definitely IS a murderer who will save you heroically.
Kilroy is also possibly the most polite murderer ever.
We also discuss what it is that makes one human, and coin a new type of irony; Accidental Irony.
Get ready to have this garbage trapped in your ear holes for the next week.
There's also a touch of dog-murder. Stay classy, Decomposition!

Mr. Big- To Be With You Decomposition

decompositionpod@gmail.com (Decomposition) — Wed, 24 Apr 2019 04:00:09 +0000

This super-group ROCKS SO SOFT! Its a group made up of not-so-terribly well known musicians; Blond Fred Armisen, Emilia Estevez, Darryl Hall, and Darryl Strawberry.
How is it that Teresa and Katie don't like hair bands, but they do love this song? The Answer: Sing-along.
We learn all about shredding on the guitar (Blooms, Bong, and twee.) We get into the oddness of one particular line that nobody knows anyway. Are there blue traffic lights? Is this just another dirty old man song? Maybe not, but it is man-splainy and condescending.
Also, let's enjoy Katie going full-on prude in this episode.
Stay tuned, there's a sing along at the end, and even Mike joins in for some rare on-mic banter.

Re-release "99 Problems," Jay-Z

SPRING BREAK!!!! Katie and Brad are taking the week off but didn't want to leave you without and content. So they've decided to re-release an episode that they recorded with their friend, Gbenga, on the hit song "99 Problems," by Jay-Z.
Gbenga is a Jay-Z superfan and Katie did not think that she cared for this song. Wait until she sees just how wrong she was.

Lump- Presidents of The United States of America Decomposition

This is groundbreaking news: We uncover a murder plot and the murderer is none other than ONE OF THE PRESIDENTS OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA!! Who is Lump? Why does she want brains (plural?) Is she a figment of Casper Babypants' imagination? Is she a zombie? If not then why are the piranha's confused, Katie? Did this song, along with Taylor Swifts "Love Story," inspire the Nicholas Hoult zombie-romantic-comedy "Warm Bodies?" Well, don't worry; we have all of your answers... that you probably never cared to think about. Plus, we figure out how ghosts work.

You Were Meant For Me- Jewel Decomposition

decompositionpod@gmail.com (Decomposition) — Wed, 3 Apr 2019 04:00:00 +0000

Jewel's album "Pieces of You," was an integral part of Katie and Emily's formative teenage years. Very moody, very melodramatic, and loaded with pancakes. Jewel obviously did something to ruin this relationship...and then turned into a straight-up crazy person who wrote a song. Possibly while brandishing an ak47 in Mexico with her songwriting partner, Steve Poltz.
Jewel switches from church-voice to baby-voice seamlessly. She writes bad poetry. And she doesn't know the meaning of the word "casualty." Perhaps that would be a good thing to know before handling a semi-automatic in a drug bust in Mexico.
But I digress...

Graduation (Friends Forever)- Vitamin C Decomposition

Vitamin C wrote some middle school poetry when she was 27. She didn't quite sing it, then it was released in '99, and became a hit in 2000. There are a TON of problems with this song. What is the timeline? Does she only care about two people in her class? Is Heather the dullest person on the planet? How on Earth did she have a second hit with "Smile?"

China Girl- David Bowie Decomposition

decompositionpod@gmail.com (Decomposition) — Wed, 20 Mar 2019 04:00:00 +0000

HEAR YE! HEAR YE! David Bowie and Iggy Pop cordially invite you to the drug ball!!
"Let's Dance," was rock-legend David Bowie's most commercially successful album. It also contained this garbage number. Co-written and originally recorded by Iggy Pop, it may be about a Vietnamese woman. But the racism really hit a new peak when David Bowie recorded it years later. Is it racist? Or not racist? Or about drugs?

Probably racist

Walk the Dinosaur- Was (Not Was) Decomposition

decompositionpod@gmail.com (Decomposition) — Wed, 13 Mar 2019 04:00:00 +0000

This is a crazy, fun, ridiculous song... which is why we love it. Super-producer, Don Was, created something that makes no sense, and yet somehow makes perfect sense. What would you use to make a drink called "Monkey Skull." Does this song take place in the Mario Bro.s movie universe? How did they watch Miami Vice AND passing cars 40 million years ago? And exactly how is this a song about nuclear annihilation?
Great tune. Listen to it on your favorite cruise.

decompositionpod@gmail.com (Decomposition) — Wed, 20 Feb 2019 05:00:00 +0000

Happy 2-year anniversary!!! Concluding our 3-part series, Steinmania, we tackle what might be the most insane Jim Steinman song yet. Well, it's certainly the most insane video. Bonnie Tyler teamed up with Jim Steinman to deliver a powerhouse ballad. Tyler's distinctive vocals and Steinman's theatrical songwriting soared to the top of the charts and is still a much beloved song.
There's a LOT of aggressive fingering and fisting in this episode... which Katie does not care for.
Also, vampires... somehow there are vampires.
Go watch the video, what are you doing with your life.

Steinmania Part 2: "Making Love Out of Nothing at All," Air Supply

decompositionpod@gmail.com (Decomposition) — Wed, 13 Feb 2019 05:00:00 +0000

Happy anniversary! This week we are re-releasing one of our most popular episodes. Brad's brother, Matt, first appeared on Decomposition to talk about Air Supply's 1983 hit "Making Love Out Of Nothing At All." Laughs abound, and you might even learn a little something along the way! Also in this episode: FORESHADOWING

Steinmania Part 1: "Rock And Roll Dreams Come Through," Meat Loaf

decompositionpod@gmail.com (Decomposition) — Wed, 6 Feb 2019 05:00:00 +0000

Happy 2-year anniversary!! This year, Brad and Katie are putting out a 3 part series on the works of crazy, evil, rock-genius Jim Steinman. Part one is a remastered version of their early episode on the Meat Loaf hit "Rock and Roll Dreams Come Through."

T.H.E. (The Hardest Ever)- Will.i.am f/ Jennifer Lopez, Mick Jagger Decomposition

decompositionpod@gmail.com (Decomposition) — Wed, 30 Jan 2019 05:00:00 +0000

This song is pretty insufferable. Will.i.am recorded this song for his album #willpower and then decided to nix it, which we understand. Both Mick Jagger and J-Lo phone-in a performance... cool. There's a lot of talk about Will.i.am's penis (or someone else's, it isn't clear.) Statues, by the way, don't have to be hard. Feces isn't pronounced "fees-is."
Some of these lines would be better if they were written for a better-sounding song. They weren't. This song is pretty insufferable.

FUN GAME: Count Brad's "uuuuuhhhhhh's," in this episode!

Never Tear Us Apart- INXS decomposition

decompositionpod@gmail.com (Decomposition) — Wed, 23 Jan 2019 05:00:00 +0000

Katie had a revelation, she loves INXS, she just didn't realize that all of these hit songs were by the same band. Jamie and Brad, however, have always been on board. "Never Tear Us Apart," was on the seminal album "Kick," and one of 7 hit singles from this monster release. We discuss the use of the word "collide," as well as the phrase "I wanna be inside you," which, logically leads us to collide inside you.
A LOT of literary talk here, from geeking out over Shakespeare, to Emily Dickinson, to The Unbearable Lightness of Being, to Lord Of The Flies.
We discover the meaning of "Limbeck," and then go through all of our fav INXS tunes.
The world lost a great singer when we lost Michael Hutchence in 1997. Thankfully, his songs are as fantastic today as they were when they were on top of the charts.

No Diggity (feat. Dr. Dre & Queen Pen)- Blackstreet Decomposition

decompositionpod@gmail.com (Decomposition) — Wed, 16 Jan 2019 05:00:00 +0000

Teddy Riley is a legend in the R&B world. Credited with birthing New Jack Swing, as well as co-writing and producing a jillion hit songs. Little did we know how ahead of its time "No Diggity," was when it came out. It was respectful of women and very sex-positive. Don't worry, Katie gives us a point-by-point analysis of why. Blackstreet? More like WOKESTREET!! Puns, m'er f'ers, puns!
Why is Queen Pen a part of this song? Who are the original Rump Shakers?
Also, my apologies for the less-than-good audio quality this week. I tried my best, guys.

Sex And Candy- Marcy Playground Decomposition

decompositionpod@gmail.com (Decomposition) — Wed, 9 Jan 2019 05:00:00 +0000

This is a record setting song. Let that sink in for a minute. Marcy Playground wrote a sleepy, nonsense song in an hour. That song shot up to #1 and stayed there for 15 weeks. Lazy songwriting, odd pronunciations, no bridge... and this was the best song on the album. Probably any subsequent albums as well.
Good news, The Woz & Co. are still out there touring.
We learn about Sean's movie soundtrack enthusiasm as well as his candy enthusiasm. We discuss post-modernism, and get into the similarities between this wacky video and a Matisse.
Panty raids were all the rage in the late 90's, by the way

Walk Like An Egyptian- The Bangles Decomposition

decompositionpod@gmail.com (Decomposition) — Wed, 2 Jan 2019 05:00:00 +0000

Holy Banana! This is a strange song. Somehow it's about people trying to keep their balance on a ferry. Written by Lionel Whatshispuss. It also features MOST of the Bangles singing and playing their instruments. The massive success of this song may have been the beginning of the end of the Bangles, but it sure lives on in our hearts. Also, if anyone wants to put together a Ladies of the 80's festival, please float us some free tix. Ok, thanks.

Re-Release: The Christmas Shoes Remastered Decomposition

decompositionpod@gmail.com (Decomposition) — Wed, 26 Dec 2018 05:00:00 +0000

STOCKING STUFFER! All I Really Want For Christmas- Lil Jon feat. Kool-Aid Man Decomposition

decompositionpod@gmail.com (Decomposition) — Mon, 24 Dec 2018 22:06:00 +0000

As a Christmas gift this year we have decided to give you a little stocking-stuffer of an episode. When we heard the 2018 song "All I Really Want For Christmas," by Lil Jon feat. Kool-Aid Man (what?) we knew we had to record an emergency episode of Decomposition. We reached out to several friends and were able to get their opinions. Special thanks to Teresa, Josh, Sean, Sandy, Darin, and Natty Bumpercar for contributing to what is surely a very special Christmas.
Feliz Navidad!

Wonderful Christmastime- Paul McCartney Decomposition

decompositionpod@gmail.com (Decomposition) — Wed, 19 Dec 2018 05:00:00 +0000

A giggle-fit from the get-go. The moon/ mood is right. Right? This song pays Sir Paul approximately $400k a year in royalties. A million (approx,) the sounds of many instruments being thrown down stairs, cat's jumping on a synthesizer, the odd "Ding-Dong," "AAAAHHHHH, Don't look down," and some of the laziest songwriting we have ever heard. And it isn't even McCartney's WORST Christmas song! It is possibly Brads least favorite song of all time, though. Also, we assume we know British Christmas Traditions, and how they may be inspired by "Inferno." All that and the delights of Katie taking the worlds smallest bites of cookie. this episode is funny, contentious, and much more enjoyable to listen to than the song we are discussing.

Fairytale of New York- The Pogues (feat. Kirsty MacColl) Decomposition

decompositionpod@gmail.com (Decomposition) — Wed, 12 Dec 2018 05:00:00 +0000

The Pogues never had a hit in the U.S. However, this song has become an annual favorite on radio stations all over the country and has landed on the British charts 14 times. I guess if Elvis Costello dares you to write a Christmas song then you do it. We get into their possible homophobia, drug use, binge drinking, and the sad story behind this very non-traditional Christmas song/ Irish folk tune. Is it somehow inspired by An American Tale? Then we spend some time discussing the tragic story of Kirsty MacColl's life and the very WTF circumstances behind it. All that and Katie's perspective on the "Baby It's Cold Outside," nonsense.

Christmas Every Day- David Archuleta Decomposition

decompositionpod@gmail.com (Decomposition) — Wed, 5 Dec 2018 05:00:00 +0000

David Archuleta is still a celebrity. He has just released his second Christmas album and this is the lead single, though it feels like he is trying to get himself into an Old Navy campaign. the song is a pile of Christmas drivel. His cadence is strange. The song is nonsense and comes off as some sort of holiday-themed Groundhog Day. Katie hates on some kid. Brad gives his list of things that he hates in Christmas music. Plus a ton of definitely, 100% accurate, hippo impressions. All that and a run-down of the songs on Katie's phone. Commence giggling.

Get Here (If You Can)- Oleta Adams Decomposition

decompositionpod@gmail.com (Decomposition) — Wed, 28 Nov 2018 05:00:00 +0000

This is the longest song ever. It's only four and a half minutes long, and yet it goes on forever. We discuss deserts, Wind-surfing, mental teleportation, and terrible cabaret performances featuring death and 'Oh Holy Night." Does this song need a bass solo? Does it need a saxophone solo ON TOP of that? Katie is offended by this song both as an Arab woman and an English Literature teacher. How did this song reach the charts twice and yet we have never heard of it. Snarfle your snuffles and get ready for a goofball episode.

Send Me On My Way- Rusted Root Decomposition

decompositionpod@gmail.com (Decomposition) — Wed, 21 Nov 2018 05:00:00 +0000

Katie saw Rusted Root live, they were fine. Brad owned two of their albums, they were also fine. There's no doubt that this song inspires sheer joy and has, thankfully, stood the test of time, despite not really charting that high at the time of its initial release. But '95 was a tough year.
Tell you what; if you get fired from your job then go out strong just like Rick did.
Peter Gabriel's "So," Paul Simon's "Graceland," Talking Head's "This Must Be the Place." All distilled by some white hippies out of Pittsburgh.

Katie and Tim argue

Queen was great and Tim is wrong

Private Eyes- Hall and Oates Decomposition

decompositionpod@gmail.com (Decomposition) — Wed, 7 Nov 2018 05:00:00 +0000

We have always just kind of assumed that "Private Eyes," was a creepy, stalker-ish song. In a rare moment for Decomposition, you get to bear witness to a real-time reaction to learning the truth about this hit song that isn't "Your Kiss Is On My List," despite how it sounds. We also learn a lot about how important hand claps are to a song. We also learn how difficult it is to clap in time to the hand claps in this song.
Darin is a huge Hall and Oates fan and it was a delight to have him over to get seriously schooled by Katie... as is her profession.
Brad adds little to the conversation.

Addams Groove- (MC) Hammer Decomposition

decompositionpod@gmail.com (Decomposition) — Wed, 31 Oct 2018 09:14:00 +0000

Happy Halloween! Brad is hopped up on vitamins, caffeine, and beer for an episode on what may be our most ridiculous song to date. MC Hammer was a global sensation who was not above a cash-grab movie tie-in. He's very clearly not familiar with the source material. Brad gets real for a moment when discussing his connection to The Addams Family. Is Hammer telling a story? Who is the pope of Oak-town? We learn all about his posse, Bones, Swoop, Goofy and Randy. Katie makes the obvious comparison between Stanley Kirk Burrell and Wordsworth. Did Hammer have to move back in with his parents? In Oakland or Central Park? Also, pepper for your chicken? Please Hammer, don't hurt 'em.

Champagne Supernova- Oasis Decomposition

decompositionpod@gmail.com (Decomposition) — Wed, 24 Oct 2018 04:00:00 +0000

Oasis dominated the charts in the mid-90's. And yet, none of us, to this day, know what on earth they were singing about. Namely, Noel Gallagher doesn't know what he was writing about. He could only think of one word that rhymes with "hall," which is interesting when you are a professional songwriter. He started a lot of fights. Blur, Phil Collins, Jay-Z, and especially his brother, Liam. Certainly not the Beatles, though, who they openly took a lot of music from, and then claimed to be bigger than.
What is a Brackett the butler on Camberwick Green, or Chipley, or trumpton?
Who has the thicker Manchester accent?
Why is this song seven and a half minutes long?

Are You Gonna Go My Way- Lenny Kravitz Decomposition

decompositionpod@gmail.com (Decomposition) — Wed, 10 Oct 2018 04:00:00 +0000

Lenny Kravitz is Rock N Roll Jesus. Or at least he pretends to be in this song. Fortunately Katie is able to real-time check and see if that holds true. All that and a Lenny History lesson! Did he out-Zeppelin John Paul Jones? Did he out-Iambic-Tatrameter Shakespeare? What the hell is an anapest?
Rub-a-dub...seriously? RUB-A-DUB?!
Killer song, though

Unskinny Bop- Poison Decomposition

decompositionpod@gmail.com (Decomposition) — Thu, 27 Sep 2018 02:01:00 +0000

In the late 80's Poison was the hottest rock band around. In the early 90's they put out this hit. Guess what its about... C.C. bangin' a porno queen? C.C. masturbating? Or C.C. just using nonsense fillables? Lets re-live the good old days (and listen to Katie's cringe-worthy contempt,) as Matt and Brad justify their love of all things hair metal, specifically the works of Bret Michaels, C.C. DeVille, Ricky...Lipstick(?) and Bob Dall... whoever those guys are.

For further reading please find the article Grunts, Groans, Lust and Thrust

Also, Matt and Katie have an awkward argument that begins with the debate: Pop-ups or Pops-up?

The Humpty Dance- Digital Underground Decomposition

decompositionpod@gmail.com (Decomposition) — Tue, 4 Sep 2018 22:54:00 +0000

This is an amazing song. It seems goofy, but upon closer inspection you really get the sense of genius that goes into it. It promotes body-positivity, not being afraid to do your own thing, world peace, and humptiness forever.
There is so much happening in this episode. Every time we get to see Natty its a good time filled with laughs. Therefore, we couldn't really edit out a whole lot. So strap in and enjoy the silliness and we break down the greatest hip-hop song of all time "The Humpty Dance."

California Gurls- Katy Perry (ft. Snoop Dogg) Decomposition

decompositionpod@gmail.com (Decomposition) — Wed, 22 Aug 2018 04:00:00 +0000

This is the greatest summer song of all time. Is it bad? No, it isn't. It is exactly what its supposed to be, upbeat, fun, a little bit sexy, and ridiculous. It was also a monster hit. Foul gummy bears, artful butt pics, a candy pimp, The Slap Chop, and "What, What? In the Butt." It doesn't make a ton of sense, but neither does Emily. Its like having a living soundboard in the studio with us.
Strap in, everybody, it gets goofy in this one.

I Was Jack (You Were Diane)- Jake Owen Decomposition

decompositionpod@gmail.com (Decomposition) — Wed, 8 Aug 2018 04:00:00 +0000

You all remember Donna Vee, comedian and country music fan. Well, we have found a country song that she does not care for. It's not your grandmothers meatloaf, as she puts it. It's a nostalgia double-down... a song reminiscing about a song about nostalgia, get it? Also, what is this trite, generic, Bo Burnham-esque nonsense? Blue jean halo? Does John Mellencamp even care about this song? Why is there a 10 minute long mini-movie? Also, what sort of deal-with-the-devil punishment is happening to Jake Owen now that he has to play this song for the remainder of his career. It sucks... a chili dog outside the Tastee Freeze

Soak Up The Sun- Sheryl Crow Decomposition

decompositionpod@gmail.com (Decomposition) — Wed, 25 Jul 2018 04:00:00 +0000

We start by recounting our vacation at Montreal Jazz Fest and discuss some of the excellent bands that we saw: Elise Legrow, The Suffers, Teke Teke, and how Brad is so white that he can go to Canada and get a sunburn.

Sheryl Crow has given us some great songs. "All I Wanna Do," "Every Day Is A Winding Road," "Leaving Las Vegas." And then there's this song. How is this about Owen Wilson? Neoliberal consumerism? What is the first line to "Everyday Is A Winding Road?" Does it involve a limousine repairman? Also, we debut a brand-new segment (maybe) called "What the Actual Fact?" and believe us, it's pretty fact up.
She could have retired at 17, but instead tries to drive a wedge into Katie and Brad's marriage.

You're better than this, Sheryl Crow

Kiss From A Rose- Seal Decomposition

decompositionpod@gmail.com (Decomposition) — Wed, 11 Jul 2018 04:00:00 +0000

This song is probably about something. Or, to say the least, it feels like it should be about something. Seal has never expressly stated why he wrote the song, but he does say that the feeling of the song is more important than the actual words. What is the grey? Is this about a cocaine problem? Is it about crossing over to the afterlife? Is it about interracial butt stuff? According to Seal, yes to all three.
We also spend some serious time discussing a theory posited by listener Sandy about the Killers song "Human."
Sorry about the audio quality, but you'll be ok

Me and Decomposition Down By The Schoolyard; An Homage To The Work of Paul Simon

decompositionpod@gmail.com (Decomposition) — Wed, 27 Jun 2018 04:00:00 +0000

We have spent so much of our time discussing terrible songs. Some we love despite this, some are bad songs written by good artists, others are just straight up horrendous. But today is a special day. Today is the day that we discuss and artist we love and the decades worth of wonderful songs that he gave to us. Paul Simon is (one of our) favorite(s), and we are here to tell everybody why he is Americas (PUNS!!) greatest songwriter.
We start with a bit about what on Earth was going on between Paul, Julio, and Rosie Rosenstein-Pajama in that schoolyard? We have theories... and they're dirty
Then we move on to the countless (almost) lines of musical poetry that stand out to us as Paul Simon's best. Teresa struggles even without actually being under any pressure. We misquote a lot of lyrics, song and album titles.
Teresa fawns... a lot

How Bizarre- OMC Decomposition

decompositionpod@gmail.com (Decomposition) — Mon, 11 Jun 2018 04:00:00 +0000

Pauly Fuemana, the sometimes-ascot-wearing New Zealander/ Polynesian gang member, had a far more bizarre life than this song would have you believe. In fact, the story in the song is quite dull. They drive, they chat with a friendly cop, then maybe hit up a circus. And yet, it was all over the airwaves back in 1995/96/97. Enjoy the giggles in this one. Was it Pauly Fuemana's first day speaking English? Was Pele some type of religious figure? Why couldn't the circus afford more than one monkey? Should you buy the rights?

We have all loved this song. We have all sung along to this song. We have all misunderstood the lyrics (aside from doo do doo do do do do...) Turns out, its quite misogynistic and VERY rapey. We will never mis-hear it the same way again. As you may have guessed, this episode is very giggly. It smells like it sounds.

Ironic- Alanis Morissette Decomposition

decompositionpod@gmail.com (Decomposition) — Mon, 2 Apr 2018 04:00:00 +0000

"Ironic," was EVERYWHERE in 1996. You couldn't escape it. And it turned into Alanis Morissette's biggest hit to date. This song is challenging. Unless you're Alanis Morissette, she kinda just doesn't care. Nothing mentioned in this song is actually ironic, they just suck. But this week we take the time to slightly tweak the lyrics so that they become ironic. We also rank all of the happenings on a scale of 1- 10 based on how much they suck. Patrick tells us about the biggest fight that he has ever gotten into. Plus he spent many of his formative years lying about Nirvana and "Weird" Al.
Join us on an exploration of the most 90's song and video as we discuss the unironic story of Mr. Play-It -Safe, and why this song may actually be ironic afterall.

Joyride- Roxette Decomposition

decompositionpod@gmail.com (Decomposition) — Mon, 26 Mar 2018 04:00:00 +0000

There's a lot happening in this song, and yet not so much at all. Plenty of Google Translate, nonsense lyrics, sugar-pigs...who knows. But the song, nontheless, is outstanding. This is a fun, wacky episode where we teach Cody a little about sex-ed and he provides some evidence that hair metal makes a young person gay, who knew?

99 Problems- Jay-Z Decomposition

decompositionpod@gmail.com (Decomposition) — Mon, 19 Mar 2018 04:00:00 +0000

This week we discuss a young, cocaine-dealing entrepreneur and the myriad bitch-related problems that he has.

WARNING This episode has more explicit language than usual. However, as it was relevant to the song choice and our discussion, we left it in.

I could only really tell you about three problems that the J Hova actually has. However, I can also confidently tell you what one of his problems is not.

Katie was wrong. And not just a little wrong, but, like, A LOT wrong. She confidently suggested this song to our close friend thinking she could really rip into it. But, as she learned, this is not only a not-bad song, but in fact an excellent song. Multiple meanings for "bitch." Inventive new slang (Jake, kit-kat.) Compelling narrative. Its basically flawless... unless you count the gross mispronunciation of the word "zapatos." That's just downright terrible...

Jonas Bros.- Year 3000 Decomposition

decompositionpod@gmail.com (Decomposition) — Mon, 12 Mar 2018 04:00:00 +0000

Let's put it out there; The Jonas Brothers were designed to appeal to children, we get it. But their music is still pretty garbagey. Who is this Peter anyway? Is he a pervert, or a murderer, or a pervert/murderer? We don't get answers to that, but we do get possible answers to how their great, great, great granddaughter is doing "fine," approximately 600 years or so after she would have existed. Also, Joe Shipley has 2 wishes come true this week; a shout-out...again, and the discussion of a song by Busted, technically.

A Real-Time Reaction to an Unreleased Smash Mouth Song

decompositionpod@gmail.com (Decomposition) — Mon, 26 Feb 2018 05:00:00 +0000

Roll it!
Steve Harwell seems like an angry man. We kinda hope he starts a twitter feud with us. Denis had no idea what was coming walking into with this one, so we had the unique pleasure of introducing him to one of the funniest things the internet has given to us, an unreleased song by Smash Mouth. It is a track of isolated vocals from a song the even the band knew was too terrible to release on an album. It really brings out the majesty in Harwell's vocals and lyrical prowess. And provides near-endless laughs. Tell your friends, they're going to love it.

Teresa has no fun...none, whatsoever. She is angry, she resents this, she hates every single minute, and it is awkwardly apparent. She also, as the episode progresses, realizes that she doesn't know ANY of these songs. She didn't buy ANY of these albums. She has a serious Weezer blind-spot...but still gets upset when we don't like the songs. I think she broke up with us...I'm still not sure

We were lucky enough to have an awesome, recorded conversation with Patrick Flynn (The Original Cast) about Billy Joel. Brad is not a fan. Patrick is a huge fan. Katie has no strong opinions...other than that she loves Oliver and Company. We go through Joel's catalog of hit songs over the years, from Captain Jack to The River of Dreams, and plenty in between. We learn that Brad loves some Billy Joel songs even though he doesn't like Billy Joel. Patrick is ashamed of some of his Billy Joel love. Katie forgets things about Billy Joel and doesn't realize some Billy Joel songs are by Billy Joel. But we spend some time discussing other artists; Alexa Ray Joel, Neil Young,Frankie Valli, Semisonic, Nine Days...and, obviously the cost of driving through Delaware.

Omigod You Guys- Legally Blonde The Musical Decomposition

decompositionpod@gmail.com (Decomposition) — Mon, 29 Jan 2018 05:00:00 +0000

Katie and Chris are musical theater nerds. Katie also loves the movie "Legally Blonde." As it turns out, these two things do not work together. Chris is the only one of us who has actually seen the musical, but says that , for the most part, the rest of the music is not really any better. The song is annoying, and that is really it's biggest problem. Katie takes some real exception to the negative sorority girl stereotype. And why is it that they hat maids? 7 Tony nominations, Zero wins...that says something. Katie also demonstrates the "bend and snap," which doesn't really work in an audio format, but it is a terrible, dumb thing that is worth YouTubing.

Nothing's Gonna Stop Us Now- Starship Decomposition

decompositionpod@gmail.com (Decomposition) — Mon, 22 Jan 2018 05:00:00 +0000

Brad pulls a bit of a bait-and-switch on Katie this week. She loves this song and declares it "a perfect song from a perfect movie." She is, however, on a lot of drugs. Rhymes? Who needs 'em? Grace Slick sings the word "Crazy," as if she were legitimately crazy...which she might just be. Also, how hard-rock is this song? Is the guitar solo so hard-rock that, despite the rest of the song not being that, it was the best hard-rock solo of 1987? Who knows?

Whoomp Vs. Whoot (There It Is)- Tag Team/ 95 South Decomposition

decompositionpod@gmail.com (Decomposition) — Mon, 15 Jan 2018 05:00:00 +0000

This episode is hopefully more entertaining to listen to than it was to research. Katie loves both of these songs, despite not knowing that they were, in fact, two different songs. 95 South wrote it first, but Tag Team had the bigger hit. They are ode's to strip clubs, booties, and partying. The videos have plenty of booty equity, celebrity cameos, and maybe, just maybe, one of our former presidents hanging out at a house party. Katie uses a helpful Venn diagram and Brad can't keep anything straight. Lookee here, lookee here, lookee here...shaka laka shaka laka shaka laka...

Brave- Sara Bareilles Decomposition

decompositionpod@gmail.com (Decomposition) — Mon, 8 Jan 2018 05:00:00 +0000

Katie HATES Sara Bareilles. It is an irrational hatred that she struggles to explain. She feels sorry about that...and she feels GREAT when she can find even the most basic of justification. Meanwhile, friend and Baltimorian, Matt, doesn't even know the song...but that's fine because he also recognizes the shortcomings of this song. It's as if Bareillis determined that she knows whats best for her friend struggling to come out of the closet. But only so that she feels good about herself. We also spend an inordinate amount of time telling/ not telling when this episode was recorded...maybe this past weekend, maybe a month ago. Who knows, really?
There are a lot of tangeants and ridiculousness, which is par for the course when hanging out with Matt. You can tell the drinks were being had before, during and after the recording. We never learn Matt's middle name, and we certainly don't understand why Katie hates BAREILLEEESSSS so much.
Aside from that there's all the Katy Perry stuff that happens.

Making Love Out Of Nothing At All- Air Supply

decompositionpod@gmail.com (Decomposition) — Mon, 1 Jan 2018 05:00:00 +0000

Matt and Brad grew up in a household where Air Supply's Greatest Hits was constantly playing. Over the years they have kept that very cassette tape in working order. Matt stole it from their mother. Brad subsequently stole that tape from Matt. Katie has then had to endure the tape...which is now in a bag in a closet in a guest bedroom in NJ. Is there a story here? Is Team Russel(l), in actuality, Jeff Daniels and Sickly Bilbo Baggins? Another wonderfully over-he-top soft-rock anthem from Jim Steinman...before he started working with The Game. Is it the perfect song? Probably. Even Katie can get into it.

The Christmas Shoes- NewSong Decomposition

decompositionpod@gmail.com (Decomposition) — Mon, 25 Dec 2017 05:00:00 +0000

It has been a hell of a year for us here at Decomposition Podcast, and we've saved the worst for last. NewSong may or may not have been inspired by an actual story when they wrote the song "The Christmas Shoes." And that awful song inspired not only a book, but a movie trilogy. It's supposed to be heartfelt, but its so cringe-worthy bad that whatever emotion you are supposed to feel gets completely overtaken by awkward laughter. Teresa also gets a new nickname "Hot Cheeks."

You Make It Feel Like Christmas- Gwen Stefani f. Blake Shelton Decomposition

decompositionpod@gmail.com (Decomposition) — Mon, 18 Dec 2017 05:00:00 +0000

Katie was a big No Doubt fan back in the day. This year, for Christmas, Gwen Stefani released her own terrible, terrible album of Christmas tunes. "You Make It Feel Like Christmas," didn't (or hasn't yet) reached the top of some oddly specific Billboard charts. Even with the combined might of The Voice power couple, Stefani and Blake Shelton, they aren't pulling in the numbers. Probably because its just a bunch of cobbled together, trite, sugary sweet winter imagery. We also spend quite a bit of time discussing the hour-long Target ad that was her Christmas special...the costumes, the guest celebrities, the lack of comedy (?) and, of course, the lip-syncing.

Do They Know It's Christmas- Band Aid Decomposition

decompositionpod@gmail.com (Decomposition) — Mon, 11 Dec 2017 05:00:00 +0000

A Christmas-charity song that helped raise money for famine relief in Ethiopia...who knew this would be such a grim tune? At the time it was the UK's biggest selling single. A collection of popular singers gathered to sing an admittedly bad song, with problematic lyrics. You're going to hear that word a lot. How on Earth do you pronounce the name Ure? Have these people ever been to Africa? Should they be painting this picture of Africans? How can Bob Geldof be a professional songwriter if he can't find a way to use the name Ethiopia? Sit back and relax as we discuss this wine and coke-fueled (thanks to Status Quo, whoever they are) holiday anthem. God bless us, every one!

Christmas Wrapping- The Waitresses Decomposition

decompositionpod@gmail.com (Decomposition) — Mon, 4 Dec 2017 05:00:00 +0000

Let's get festive!! This is a looooooooooong song. And, its one of Bumpercar's favorites...or so we tell him. Actually, we all enjoy this song. But the story is terrible. The narrative is weak and the story itself is just long and boring. Who or what is Egyptian Lover? Are people in Akron Ohio aware of rap music? Is Harvard offering full-rides for jousting? Who ARE the Waitresses? Did they (probably) influence Nirvana? Yes, we talk about Blossom, and, obviously, we talk about Romeo and Juliet.

Also, Richard Jewell...I couldn't remember the name Richard Jewell

When It Rains It Pours- Luke Combs Decomposition

decompositionpod@gmail.com (Decomposition) — Mon, 27 Nov 2017 05:00:00 +0000

Fellow Mountaineer Luke Combs (aka Redneck Shrek) has exploded this year on the country music scene. He should have finished out his last day at school, perhaps he would have learned what the saying "When It Rains It Pours," actually means. Where exactly is I-65? Why on Earth would a Carolinian choose Miller Lite over Southpaw? Donna basically sings this entire episode, the dog gets handsy, and John Arbuthnot...whoever that is.

Female- Keith Urban Decomposition

decompositionpod@gmail.com (Decomposition) — Mon, 20 Nov 2017 05:00:00 +0000

Keith Urban's almost-two-week-old hit "Female," is a misstep. He tried to do something constructive in the wake of the Harvey Weinstein scandal and just ended up recording a song that would have benefited from a rewrite. Instead we just have a pile of vaguely-related lady-words, benevolent sexism galore, and, obviously, no real rhymes at all.

Butterfly- Crazy Town Decomposition

decompositionpod@gmail.com (Decomposition) — Mon, 13 Nov 2017 05:00:00 +0000

Shifty, Epic, Epique, DJ AM, the Drummer...These guys were riddled with problems. The least of which was their ubiquitous, massive hit single. Insects or incest? Little Lolita and Lollipop Porn. Remarkable amounts of crack cocaine. And, of course, a heroin-fueled murder/ suicide. All in the name of love.

I Did It- Dave Matthews Band Decomposition

decompositionpod@gmail.com (Decomposition) — Mon, 6 Nov 2017 05:00:00 +0000

What was it that Dave Matthews did? Anybody? This song was the beginning of the end of rock superstardom for the Dave Matthews Band. They hired a producer who they thought could sell albums. Unfortunately, it failed to feature most of the band and didn't produce the quality of music that people came to expect. Emily and Brad were both on the DMB train, whereas Katie never enjoyed it anyway. Lots of Dave Matthews impressions, giggling, and Emily laughing until she cries. Magic mushroom love bombs? The video makes zero sense...unless you're on mushrooms...which may or may not be what, in fact, Dave Matthews did. Plus a rap that senselessly repeats the word "love." Good news though, we teach everybody a fun new DMB-related game to play.

A Nightmare On My Street- DJ Jazzy Jeff & the Fresh Prince Halloween Special

decompositionpod@gmail.com (Decomposition) — Mon, 30 Oct 2017 04:00:00 +0000

The emotional scars of this song run deep. Katie saw approximately 10 minutes of one of the A Nightmare on Elm Street movies and, to this day, is haunted by the thoughts of a guy named Fred who "wears the same hat and sweater everyday." However, this song proved to be a living nightmare of ensuing legal battles, obligations to movie studios, loss of a music video. And the repercussions were felt right up through the last dying days of New Line Cinemas. Or not, who knows. Anyway, Katie is still terrified by this song, but does a "killer," Kreug impression.

California Dreams; Actors Gone Rogue

decompositionpod@gmail.com (Decomposition) — Mon, 23 Oct 2017 04:50:00 +0000

Saved By the Bell was, and is, a cultural phenomenon. California Dreams was not. And yet, it still somehow wiggled the theme song into our collective consciousness for the next several decades. Why was a forty plus year old "power trio," writing songs for teens? Do they sound better than any average teenagers songs? Who is Karen? Was George R.R. Martin's biggest influence the Garrison family? Who was Tommy? He certainly wasn't Jake! We talk about almost all of the shows EXCEPT California Dreams. Brad's brain effectively stops working and Katie forgets a remarkable amount about one of our previous episodes.

Back Up Off Me!- Doctor Dre and Ed Lover (f. T-Money) Decomposition

decompositionpod@gmail.com (Decomposition) — Mon, 16 Oct 2017 04:00:00 +0000

Doctor Dre (not Dr. Dre) and Ed Lover are living legends. They helped bring hip-hop to the masses as hosts of Yo! Mtv Raps. They worked with Run DMC and the Beastie Boys before putting out their own album. It did not do well. However, the title track is a remarkable amount of fun. Cobbled together from bits of other classic hip-hop songs, it is musical Prozac. Who are the suckers? Who is Davy? Funky Santa! What did T-Money do? What did these guys have in common with T.S. Elliot? Don't worry, Katie is able to draw a comparison. I double-dog dare you to NOT want to hear this song every single morning, first thing, in order to put yourself in a wonderful mood. Unimportant. Enjoy our "flow," as we go over one of the most quotable rap songs of all time.

Electric Youth- Debbie Gibson Decomposition

decompositionpod@gmail.com (Decomposition) — Mon, 9 Oct 2017 04:02:00 +0000

Zappin it to ya'. Castle sets, Mary-Kate and/or Ashley, power-mullet face dancer. This song really thinks its saying something. Spoiler, it isn't. It is, however a ton of fun. Loads of gibberish in too-long of a song, and Debbie Gibson may have been super-high. And she shared a songwriting award with Bruce Springsteen. The video is worth watching, as its off-the-rails crazy.

Rock and Roll Dreams Come Through- Meat Loaf/ Jim Steinman Decomposition

decompositionpod@gmail.com (Decomposition) — Mon, 2 Oct 2017 04:00:00 +0000

Denis is Back(ermann) to try, and oh, how we try, to make sense of this needlessly-epic "masterpiece." Honestly, the words are dumb...what with the inclusions of golden nuggets, listening to the radio strong, treasuring love, angels having guitars before they have wings and, of course, putting on the 'phones, but the videos are bat (out of hell)-shit crazy. Gypsy/Troll Meat Loaf, runaway Angelina Jolie, Jim Steinman in welders gloves, LOOOOOOOOOOOOTS of dancing, power arms. I don't know, this all seems like gibberish in a brief description...
Hey, better Bat-Trilogy; Christopher Nolan's or Loaf/ Steinman's?
Anyway, this is a super-sized 'sode because there's JUST THAT MUCH GOING ON. Watch the videos, listen to the songs, and I double-dare you to NOT love every god damned minute.
Spoiler: Jim Steinman doesn't sing on his version of this song.

Actors Gone Rogue: Party All The Time- Eddie Murphy

decompositionpod@gmail.com (Decomposition) — Mon, 25 Sep 2017 04:00:00 +0000

Does this song deserve the Grammy for "Best Song Ever?" Jarrell certainly thinks so. Eddie Murphy struck it big at a remarkably young age, as a result he put out an album which featured, according to various publications, one of the worst singles ever, with a little help from Rick James. Evidently it's about him NOT wanting to party with his girl. Theres a lot of music and not a lot of words. All of the instruments (and hand claps) are synthesized. He certainly doesn't seem to realize that this relationship isn't exclusive. Nine albums later here we are decomposing his only hit single.

Decomposition: Why Don't You Get a Job- The Offspring

decompositionpod@gmail.com (Decomposition) — Mon, 18 Sep 2017 04:00:00 +0000

Dr. Dexter and Noodles (Noodz) are too old to be doing this. Ripping off the Beatles, who ripped off someone else, in the laziest way possible. They also lazily try to prove themselves not to be misogynists. Plus, Katie apologizes to her mother, but not for screaming out bad words from other Offspring songs. Is the female character in this song a bitch, or do we just not know her side of the story. Ringo won't answer Brad's requests for a fist fight. Be warned, Adam Hunter of Towson, Maryland, we're coming for you.

Decomposition: Fireball- Pitbull (feat. John Ryan)

decompositionpod@gmail.com (Decomposition) — Mon, 11 Sep 2017 04:00:00 +0000

Jiggle, wiggle, boogie, woogie, oogie and dance. This is a mantra, as told by Armando Perez, better known as Pitbull...Mr. 305, Mr. Worldwide. Superfan (of Pitbull) Donald helps us break down the lyrics, video, and lifestyle choices of Mr. Perez. Pitbull/ Playboy branded underwear, his own vodka, and a SERIES of lifestyle books. Why on Earth does he not feature the liquor in the song he wrote based on it. This is a fun, terrible, great song and we had a great time discussing it. He saw, ho conquered, he came.

Decomposition: Love Story - Taylor Swift

decompositionpod@gmail.com (Decomposition) — Mon, 4 Sep 2017 04:26:00 +0000

For Labor Day we welcome 2 Decomposition all-stars, Teresa and Josh, to try to talk Katie down. As an English professor and Shakespeare buff she tends to get fired up when students don't finish the tragedy of Romeo and Juliet. Spoiler; she's the only one of the 4 of us that has read the play. Nevertheless, Tay-tay got her biggest hit single by ruining the ending. Was this a Latin-pop hit? Did she sell more than Billy Shakes? Sahwnetts...again. Whats more gross, teenager marriage or teenagers banging? Is she emulating Madonna or THE Madonna. All this and the G.D. Scarlet Letter in our super-long Labor Day episode.

Decomposition: Got the Life- Korn

decompositionpod@gmail.com (Decomposition) — Mon, 28 Aug 2017 04:07:00 +0000

Starting off strong this week with serious confusion about where we can find the actual lyrics. Then we dive deep into our Korn-spot and discuss how great a nu-metal monkey band would be. Bass playing, not bass playing. Playing guitar vs. playing guitar pedals. Getting our boogie on and more Rumbideebums than you can shake a stick at.

Decomposition: You Get What You Give- The New Radicals

decompositionpod@gmail.com (Decomposition) — Mon, 21 Aug 2017 04:42:00 +0000

Bizarro noises, 14 year-olds down on their knees, wanton destruction...and a political message, I guess(?). Were these guys a band? We also get into Gregg Alexanders motivation, which is mostly fueled by jealousy over other musicians fame. Its not that bad, but it IS that trite.

Actors Gone Rogue: How Do You Talk to an Angel- The Heights (f. Jamie Walters)

decompositionpod@gmail.com (Decomposition) — Mon, 14 Aug 2017 04:27:00 +0000

People probably remember Jamie Walters more for his role on 90210, but whether or not they realize it, they know him more for his 92 hit from the fake-band from the real show The Heights. His singing is exhausting to impersonate. They may not actually know any real characteristics of angels. This song is still excellent....just excellent garbage music that you will hear wandering down the aisle's of most grocery stores

Decomposition: Summer Girls- LFO

decompositionpod@gmail.com (Decomposition) — Mon, 7 Aug 2017 04:52:00 +0000

There is so, so much going on in this week's episode. Pop rocks, Cherry Pez, Boogaloo Shrimp, Mister Limpet, B-ball style and...sawnetts...Were the douche-boys of LFO cut from the same cloth as Samuel Beckett? Probably not, but maybe. Also, dude's name is Rich. Strap in and enjoy the nonsense.

Decomposition: Rock You Like a Hurricane- Scorpions

decompositionpod@gmail.com (Decomposition) — Mon, 31 Jul 2017 04:42:00 +0000

C'mon, c'mon, c'mon babaaaaaayyy!!! Sex...this is about sex. But does "rock," really mean bang? Or are Scorpions giving you the business until its time to get on stage? Did great literary works inspire this song? Also, Brad suspects these guys are Furries, since before Furries were an actual thing. Brad and Katie also sidetrack into "Winds of Change," for a minute.

Decomposition: Little Things- Bush

decompositionpod@gmail.com (Decomposition) — Mon, 24 Jul 2017 04:03:00 +0000

Josh joins us once again to run through the nonsensical(or ARE they?) lyrics of "Little Things." Katie assumes that everything she doesn't understand must be drug slang. And we get into the dietary habits and pseudo-cannibalism of Gavin Rossdale. This is a song we like off of an album we all love...even if we don't get it.

Decomposition: Absolutely (Story of a Girl)- Nine Days

decompositionpod@gmail.com (Decomposition) — Mon, 17 Jul 2017 04:16:00 +0000

This is definitely NOT a story...nor is it really about a girl. I mean, the girl is a character, but its not her story....or a story at all. Its so poorly written that it can hardly be considered written at all. Unrelated, Brad ultimately never notices how frequently he uses the word "absolutely," independent of the song title.
And, seriously, Thomas Hardy...get off your God damned high horse

Decomposition: All I Want to Do is Make Love to You- Heart

decompositionpod@gmail.com (Decomposition) — Mon, 10 Jul 2017 04:05:00 +0000

Katie gets straight up uncomfortable. Is "walk through the garden," a worse phrase than "make love?" Were Ann & Nancy Wilson the J.P. Morgans of Sperm Banking? How many orgasms did she have with this anonymous partner? And, of course, is the narrator just ot of her GD mind? Happy Anniversary, Katie.

Decomposition: I'm Not a Girl, Not Yet a Woman- Britney Spears

decompositionpod@gmail.com (Decomposition) — Mon, 3 Jul 2017 04:42:00 +0000

This song is supposed to be deep...we think. featured on the album "Britney," instead of the Crossroads soundtrack, which was never released even though it starred a singer ...
I'm bored with this song already...
Plus, Brad starts baiting middle-schoolers into a fight, good times!

Decomposition: Follow Me- Uncle Kracker

decompositionpod@gmail.com (Decomposition) — Mon, 26 Jun 2017 04:32:00 +0000

Does Uncle Kracker rank on the Top 20 shittiest people ever list? Is "Follow Me," worse than "Smile?" WTF is rap/rock/country? And, of course, we ask "Who's Your Uncle?" Join us for what is perhaps the height of douchebaggery as we hyper-analyze "Follow Me."

Decomposition: Only My Heart Talkin- Alice Cooper

decompositionpod@gmail.com (Decomposition) — Mon, 19 Jun 2017 04:04:00 +0000

Oh, Alice Cooper...you wanted so bad to have a hit power ballad. there's a lot of lyrical drivel to roll through. Can you hear me knockin? How many tears? How much is too much eyeliner? AND FULL BLOWN STEVEN TYLER...good god, I love this song.

Decomposition: Fancy- Iggy Azalea

decompositionpod@gmail.com (Decomposition) — Mon, 12 Jun 2017 04:27:00 +0000

Fancy? Gaudy? Trashy? Is it sung by a prostitute? Do hotel rooms still have chandeliers? Who is Charlie XCX? Cup of ace? So many questions, but just one difinitive answer...garbage, nonsense music.

Decomposition: One Week- Barenaked Ladies

decompositionpod@gmail.com (Decomposition) — Mon, 5 Jun 2017 04:02:00 +0000

1998 introduced the world to Canada's Barenaked Ladies. Their hit "One Week," was catchy, sugary sweet, and apparently all about murdering your lover and living with her corpse. This week we welcome friend and co-host of A Jar of Salsa podcast, Christina, to dive into the goofiest murder conspiracy pop music has ever had. Full disclosure...its mostly nonsense...not actual murder

Actors Gone Rogue: She's Like The Wind

decompositionpod@gmail.com (Decomposition) — Mon, 29 May 2017 04:05:00 +0000

Dirty Dancing, Patrick Swayze, Lameness, This week we discuss "She's Like the Wind," by One-hit wonder and 1991's Sexiest Man Alive, Patrick Swayze. How sexy is a sax solo?

Decomposition: Closer To The Heart- Rush

decompositionpod@gmail.com (Decomposition) — Mon, 22 May 2017 04:00:00 +0000

This week we welcome friend and Rush super-fan Chris to our home in order to fight about Rush. We chose this song because its short...for Rush. Forgive the audio issues during the first half, we aren't professionals. Also, I hope you speak Spanish.

Decomposition: Human- The Killers

decompositionpod@gmail.com (Decomposition) — Tue, 16 May 2017 23:20:00 +0000

What is this song about? Turns out, not a god-damned thing. What does Hunter S. Thompson have to do with this? White tigers? Feather jackets? Lady vaginas? This song is a mess start to finish...a sad, sad mess

Decomposition: Bang Bang- Jessie J f. Ariana Grande & Nicki Minaj

decompositionpod@gmail.com (Decomposition) — Mon, 8 May 2017 03:08:00 +0000

This week we decompose the 2014 hit "Bang, Bang." What does Jessie J think this song is about? What does "Dippin' in the pot of blue photo," mean? Is this song any good? Why are 3 men writing a song about ladies (or girls if you're REAL dirty) Bang Bangin' all over you?
It gets gross, everybody.

Decomposition: I Want You- Savage Garden

decompositionpod@gmail.com (Decomposition) — Mon, 1 May 2017 00:00:00 +0000

Chick-a-cherry-cola. Human cannonball. Deep sea diver with a raincoat. This song has plenty of nonsense lyrically, but don't worry, theres also plenty of bizarro noises. It's so, so wonderfully 90's. So join us as we decompose Savage Garden's 1996 breakthrough hit song "I Want You."

Decomposition: Zoot Suit Riot- Cherry Poppin' Daddies

decompositionpod@gmail.com (Decomposition) — Mon, 24 Apr 2017 00:01:00 +0000

This week we have Teresa back in order to fill us in on the historical significance of Zoot Suit Riot. We laugh, we learn, we scat...badly. Also, strap in, as we learn all about the CPD's stage prop, the Dildozer.

Decomposition: You're Beautiful- James Blunt

decompositionpod@gmail.com (Decomposition) — Mon, 17 Apr 2017 00:01:00 +0000

This week Katie and Brad go over the laziest piece of songwriting in recent memory, "You're Beautiful," by James Blunt. You'll be amazed by how much Katie has forgotten about this song. What instruments are being used? Are there drums in the song? Did James Blunt write a bridge to the song? Does anybody actually like it (including James Blunt?) Find out the answer to these questions and more on this weeks episode of "Decomposition."

Decomposition: Pressure- Billy Joel

decompositionpod@gmail.com (Decomposition) — Mon, 10 Apr 2017 00:01:00 +0000

Teresa comes back to Decomposition so that we can discuss the 1982 hit song by Billy Joel, Pressure. This song may be peak Billy Joel, as it contains all of the quirky Billy Joel bits. The voices, the chantey's (or maybe shanty's). this episode also contains nearly 50% more show...LUCK YOU!!
Katie almost murders a puppy early on, too, so there's that...

Drops of Jupiter- Train Decomposition

decompositionpod@gmail.com (Decomposition) — Mon, 3 Apr 2017 01:24:00 +0000

This week we re-welcome Denis Ackermann (of Pop Flies and Grounders, available on iTunes)to hyper-analyze Train's pseudo-incestuous 2001 hit song "Drops of Jupiter." This song is LOADED with nonsense...utter, utter nonsense

Flavor of the Weak- American Hi-Fi Decomposition

decompositionpod@gmail.com (Decomposition) — Mon, 27 Mar 2017 09:46:00 +0000

This week we are again joined by Josh to discuss one of the catchiest pieces of garbage from the early '00's, Flavour of the Weak. Wait till you hear about the pedigree on this band.

Joey Lawrence: Katie's Dark History

decompositionpod@gmail.com (Decomposition) — Mon, 20 Mar 2017 01:38:25 +0000

This week we discuss Katie's first album purchase; Joey Lawrence by Joey Lawrence. What we discover MAY surprise you...unless you already like this album, then it wont. (spoilers)

Rude- Magic! Decomposition

decompositionpod@gmail.com (Decomposition) — Mon, 13 Mar 2017 20:09:00 +0000

This week we are joined by teacher, music lover, and friend, Teresa to discuss the ubiquitous 2014 hit “Rude.” Does Magic!’s Canadian accent improve the rhyme scheme in this song? Who is the rude one in the story being told? What on Earth does it mean to be “boys at the altar?” Why is this god-damned song so catchy?

God Gave Rock n Roll to You- Kiss Decomposition

decompositionpod@gmail.com (Decomposition) — Mon, 6 Mar 2017 20:46:00 +0000

We are joined by friend and fellow podcaster, Denis Ackermann (Pop Flies and Grounders), to discuss the most needlessly epic song ever.

Abracadabra- Steve Miller Band Decomposition

decompositionpod@gmail.com (Decomposition) — Mon, 27 Feb 2017 21:49:00 +0000

In the first full episode we break down the 1982 hit "Abracadabra" by the Steve Miller Band. Joined byfriend and fellow hyper-analyst, Josh, we try to figure out what on Earth Diana Ross did to inspire such lazy songwriting, as well as uncover a secret, dark, musical Illuminati, presumably called the Pompitants.
