2019/10/15

We go way down the rabbit hole on this week's spooky episode on terrifying-to-80's-middle-America-cult-unground-satanist-goth(-rockers?) Radio Werewolf. From their links to Church of Satan founder Anton Lavey, to their definitely-not-nazi song lyrics to their bonkers interviews on conservative TV shows, we dissect possibly the *objectively* worst song we've ever covered on the show. https://www.dapperdevilproductions.com Hosted on Acast.

Ep 104: Songs That Did NOT Age Well (B-Sides)

The Songtopsy Report ·

2019/10/07

Not every song can have lyrics that will forever be regarded as being 'not problematic,' but the 3 songs on this week's B-Sides unfortunately did not make that cut. From the racist to the misogynist to every terrible spot in between, we dissect the songs whose central messages are not long for this world.

Ep 103: "Alone" by Falling In Reverse

The Songtopsy Report ·

2019/09/30

If you're a 'trapcore' artist writing a song about how much you don't want to be alone, maybe in that same song it's not a good idea to trash talk every person you've ever interacted with. Steve returns (a married one!) on this week's episode to dissect this angsty diss track all about how much Ronnie Radke 'wins.' Come for the story on how he was involved in a murder, stay for Mike's innovative veterinarian exotic-animal-drag-race proposal. https://www.dapperdevilproductions.com Hosted on Acast

Ep 99: "MacArthur Park" by Richard (Dumbledore) Harris

The Songtopsy Report ·

2019/07/29

It's one of the most covered (and hated) songs about a soggy cake ever recorded, and it was recorded by one of the greatest actors of the 20th century possibly while he was completely plastered. We dissect this "baroque pop" classic from the late 60's on this week's episode and attempt to definitively answer WHO, in fact, left the cake out in the rain at MacArthur Park.

Ep 98: "Thong Song" by Sisqó

The Songtopsy Report ·

2019/07/15

That moment when Sisqó fell to his knees in 1999 and BEGGED to be shown 'that thong' was a watershed moment for all of us, and 20 years after it was first released we break down what exactly Sisqó was trying to say with lyrics like "dumps like a truck." *Slight correction*: while Sisqó was 19 when he first wrote the song he was actually 21 when it was released; BUT HE STILL HADN'T SEEN A THONG.

2019/06/24

Mental health is definitely an issue that can be appropriately broached in a kooky novelty song, at least according to the 60's. We dive into this terrifying one-hit-wonder that started from a guy tinkering with a Variable Frequency Oscillator and ended in madness, and along the way Mike compares and contrasts his own experience at the 'funny farm' with Napoleon XIV's.

Ep 95: The Worst Marvel Movie Songs

The Songtopsy Report ·

2019/06/17

Marvel hasn't always been the hugely successful, money-printing juggernaut it is today, and this was especially true when it came to their "music inspired by the movie" output. On this week's episode we break down 3 less-than-marvelous songs from the studios' darker, more Chad-Kroeger-y days. But if you need a palette cleanser afterwards, why not head over to https://www.dapperdevilproductions.com/dairys-of-our-lives and check out Mike Russell's milk-soaked dramatic web series!

The Songtopsy Report ·

2019/06/10

In celebration of Father's Day coming up, we take a look at the hit song "Daddy" by infamous artsy-fartsy South African hip-hop duo Die Antwoord. Is this song celebrating the same kind of daddy that typically gets recognized on Father's Day? Or is it a kinky, potentially troubling song by a group that has recently come under a harsh spotlight due to some alarming allegations?

This week we dissect Rammstein vocalist Till Lindemann's English side-project all about peeing on people. Is there some deep, subversive poetry at play in this industrial metal banger?

Ep 91: "All Star" by Smash Mouth

The Songtopsy Report ·

2019/05/13

It's 20 years old and is described as an"unkillable" song, so how can we dissect it??? This week we try, as we dive into the countlessly covered, parodied, licensed, remixed, reinterpreted hit song that is simply a part of our lives at this point. Along the way we shed some light on the songwriting process for "All Star," we unearth some hidden environmental messages, and somehow we tie this song to the plot of "Superman IV: The Quest for Peace."
