This week on Why Is This So Hard For You, Curtis sets the mood with a silky Quiet Storm cut from Quincy Jones, while Jonathan leans into the blues with a groove from The Immediate Family. Then, in our category songs, we debut a new theme—It’s Weird, But I Like It—featuring none other than Frank Zappa. And if that’s not enough strangeness, Jonathan doubles down with a Broadway mashup from Weird Al that’s as hilarious as it is head-scratching.
