Decomposition PodcastEverybody Have Fun Tonight- Wang Chung DecompositionThis 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 TalesThings get sexyRock out with your chung outInsert finger guns hereHav...

Decomposition PodcastMerry Christmas, Ya Filthy Animal!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.

Decomposition PodcastHoliday Road- Lindsey Buckingham DecompositionOh 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 KickDecompositionPod@gmail.comTwitter: Decomp_PodIG: https://www...

Decomposition PodcastBanditos- The Refreshments DecompositionTeresa 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...

Decomposition PodcastBuffalo Stance- Neneh Cherry DecompositionAre 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 wom...

Decomposition PodcastDaydream Believer- The Monkees DecompositionKatie 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...

Decomposition PodcastCall Me Maybe LIVE- Carly Rae JepsenWell, 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.)
Things get sloppy, we got a bit sloppy, you got a bit sloppy, its a good time.

Decomposition PodcastShut Up + Dance- Walk The Moon DecompositionRemembering 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.

Decomposition PodcastWork It- Missy Elliot DecompositionBees, 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?

Decomposition PodcastDecomposition Interview: Chris TrapperThis 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.
Feel free to drunk text the man... we would!

Decomposition PodcastDo You Believe In Love- Huey Lewis and the News DecompositionPatrick 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...

Decomposition PodcastFight Song- Rachel Platten DecompositionAre 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...

Decomposition PodcastRamble On- Led Zeppelin DecompositionLed 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...

Decomposition PodcastDonna Summer- MacArthur Park DecompositionIt 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...
Moxie stays on-brand and drops a ton of fun tidbits.

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

Decomposition PodcastStyx- Mr. Roboto DecompositionDennis 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...

Decomposition PodcastMr. Big- To Be With You DecompositionThis 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...

Decomposition PodcastRe-release "99 Problems," Jay-ZSPRING 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.

Decomposition PodcastLump- Presidents of The United States of America DecompositionThis 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...

Decomposition PodcastYou Were Meant For Me- Jewel DecompositionJewel'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...

Decomposition PodcastGraduation (Friends Forever)- Vitamin C DecompositionVitamin 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?"
Why did she have to ruin Pachelbel?

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

Decomposition PodcastHow Bizarre- OMC DecompositionPauly 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?
