Current Miley Cyrus father and former relevant country musician Billy Ray Cyrus released 2 songs that could be seen as the saddest metaphorical bookmarks to a music career ever. We look into the origins of the original country hit, and then look into the unholy hick-hop follow-up that BRC chose to release onto an unsuspecting public in 2014.

Ep 32: The Worst James Bond Theme Songs

The Songtopsy Report ·

2018/01/08

Prepare to be left shaken…AND stirred as we go through the worst theme songs from the legendary film serious about a mass murdering, one-liner-dropping, almost definitely sociopathic M16 agent. Stay tuned through the end as we (just like we suspect the writers did) create Bond action scenes by starting with an idiom and then working backwards.

We figured there’s no better way to ring in 2018 than by dissecting the aggressive-sex-crazed lyrics to a hit Dancehall Reggae song performed by a musician currently serving a life sentence for murder! Along the way we also discuss some of Vybz Kartel’s other businesses he had and we unearth some other crazy, definitely-real commercials he recorded for them.

Merry Christmas everyone! But not too merry, because then Bob Geldof will find you and make you feel guilty. We discuss the condescending-to-Africa charity mega-hit and subsequent 1985 Live Aid concert, and along the way we discuss how a lot of the money raised *might* have actually just gone to warlords, and we end our Christmas season with a very special guest from a German cultural ambassador to the US.

Nothing says “Merry Christmas” like a song that describes a bus full of people dying...in real-time! We dive into this little-known Linda Bennett nightmare of a song, and after trying decipher what exactly the songwriters could possibly have been thinking, we perform a live version of Part 2 of this sordid song.

2017/12/11

If this thing is canon then it raises some SERIOUS concerns. We take a look at the little-known OFFICIAL Star Wars Christmas album that came out right after the first film when nobody knew yet what the hell Star Wars really was. Along the way, as the songs posit the notion that C-3PO knows what cookies and the Japanese are, Steve slowly loses his mind.

Is this song naughty, and about acclaimed singer-songwriter Colbie Caillat’s unrealized desire for Santa? Or is it nice, and Mike Russell is just reading way too deeply into a festive Christmas jingle? We celebrate Christmas in sand on this week’s episode, and later in the episode we do a dramatic reading of the definitely-real erotic Santa story “Christmas Came Prematurely.” Follow The Songtopsy Report! https://www.facebook.com/TheSongtopsyReport/ https://twitter.com/SongtopsyReport

One of the most disturbing and infuriating Christmas songs of all time (at least according to Nick), “Christmas Shoes” and the nefarious story it tells gets a deep analysis on this episode. Along the way Mike attempts to defend its more alarming insinuations, and Steve has an epiphany on the manipulative nature of children.

Black Metal solo musician Nargaroth has one VERY important thing that he wants to make sure you understand, and he wrote a whole song about it just to make sure you do. We go trve cvlt and look into the history of Norwegian Black Metal and, far more importantly, what Nargaroth’s day to day life is like as a wingman for his buddy Craig, not to be confused with ‘krieg.’ Follow The Songtopsy Report! https://www.facebook.com/TheSongtopsyReport/ https://twitter.com/SongtopsyReport

2017/11/13

We bask in the nostalgia of 3 classic Saturday morning TV themes in this week’s episode, and by “classic” we mean “where they just literally described the plot of the show you were about to see.” Along the way we question the wisdom behind elements of these shows, but above all WHO thought it would be a good idea to make a kid’s cartoon out of a TROMA movie???

Well TOO BAD, the kids like EDM now so that’s what he’s doing. Nick breaks down the out-of-touch-dad-ness present in the lyrics while Mike uncovers a dark, dark hidden meaning to the song.

ANYTHING can happen when you have Dr. Frank-N-Furter as a ‘Grand Wizard’ perform a lyrically insane song in front of a green screen that has been animated by a special-effects man apparently on mushrooms. We try to decipher this random array of words from the made-for-tv film “The Worst Witch” and along the way attempt, with all our might, to figure out WHERE Tim Curry left his tambourine.
