The Songtopsy Report ·

2021/07/20

It's the worldwide hit that was the soundtrack to everyone's 4th grade birthday party at a bowling alley, but when you dive into the nitty-gritty of the lyrics it's actually one of the most salacious songs we've ever covered. Mike leads this line-dance of an episode and reveals what the ORIGINAL song was actually about, the Bayside Boys remix that took over the world, and the existence of the Christmas version. Yes, there's a Christmas version. Follow us on Podchaser

Davinci. Nostradamus. Unfortunate generals. Technically everyone who's ever lived. What do they all have in common? They have all uttered last words, and on this week's historically-bent episode of "Are You Tellin' Me?"

Extremely small and obscure indie video game Fortnite has spawned its own roster of original in-house hit singles, and resident Fortnite expert Steven breaks down some of the more bizarre ones. Stick around to hear which anthropomorphic character gets Mike the most riled up- it may or may not be a literal stack of flapjacks...

Steve takes us on a tour of the Pacific Theatre circa WWII on this week's episode all about the war propaganda song that Jimmy-ready-to-bust-out-of-his-pants Dean wrote about the then newly-elected John F Kennedy. From the anticlimactic way JFK's boat was sunk to the legitimate heroism he exhibited to some unsung heroes, we dive into the history behind the hoopla.

2021/06/08

It's one of the most legendarily bad albums ever recorded, but *how* did it even come into existence? On part 1 of our deep dive into the frankly stunning "Philosophy of the World," we dive into the shocking conditions under which the 3 Wiggin sisters were literally forced to record the album as well as cover the first half of the songs therein. And yes, this includes your new favorite anthem "My Pal Foot Foot." Music from https://filmmusic.io: "Darkest Child" by Kevin MacLeod

2021/05/26

What is a "White Boy Summer?" Is it as problematic as its name all but guarantees? Has Tom Hanks been informed of any of this? Did Chet Hanks REALLY include a link to an ACTING CLASS he teaches in the music video where his face is sandwiched between multiple butt cheeks??? So, so many questions are brought up in this week's episode on the latest summer bop by Jamaican-Patois-spouting-yet-very-white Chet Hanx, and we attempt to answer as many of them as we can.

What is 'turtle power?' Where does it come from? Why does Mike have a thing for April O'Neil? At least one of these questions is answered in our deep dive into the song "Turtle Power," the official movie tie-in theme to the 1990 classic toy commercial that vaguely resembled a film.

2021/05/11

On this episode of the SAWtopsy Report we cut into the newest movie tie-in song by 21 Savage (although you wouldn't know it even was a movie tie-in based solely on the lyrics). And with references to bologna, 5 Guys, Swiss cheese, bread, and beef, the only true takeaway from this song is how hungry 21 Savage clearly was while he was writing it.

On a new and improved episode of "Are You Tellin' Me..." Steve breaks down obscure and shocking details about legendary Italian sculptor/painter Michelangelo. Going over his life, his legendary work on the Sistine Chapel, and his rivalries with other artists as well as MULTIPLE popes, Steve covers all of the way the legendary artist was also a huge diva.

You want folksy home-spun manufactured myths involving death, almost-definitely-murder, and (light?) necrophilia sung-spoken by a legendary proprietor of pork sausage? Well you you GET that on this week's episode all about the classic country 'recitation' song by the legendary Jimmy Dean.

This week we dissect everyone's favorite 1999-Italian-europop-hit-song all about one specific color that also *might* be about an intergalactic space battle. We also dive into some of the other music this band made (yes, it was more than just this song actually) and discover the secret weapon in their songwriting arsenal.

After teasing its existence a few episodes back, we go all-in on this baffling 2016 New Orleans large-scale musical production of the prolific Easter tradition. Apparently the only thing the story of the crucifixion of Jesus had been missing this whole time was questionable covers of early-2000 pop rock songs. And no, to answer your question up front, Tyler Perry does NOT insert himself into the narrative as Madea. Follow us on Podchaser

We finally dive into Mr. Worldwide's body of work on this week's episode dissecting "Hotel Room Service." Why do Pitbull lyrics not make much sense? What became of the #exilepitbull campaign? Is Pitbull advocating for a roller-coaster-based means of getting guests to their hotel rooms? These questions and more are all answered!

2021/03/23

Some ideas sound good on paper but aren't so good in practice; this idea was bad in both forms. We dive into the short-lived but infamous police procedural show "Cop Rock" and discuss how it used musical numbers to not-so-sensitively tackle heavy topics such as racial profiling, prostitution, and human trafficking; oh, also Randy Newman shows up too.

This week we take a trip back to your angsty youth when this timeless gothic nu-metal anthem was all the rage. We dive into the history of the band, the many ways that various Christian groups tried to co-op this song, and the eternal debate over whether the dude-vocals actually make or break the song.
