Ep 143: "The Purple People Eater" by Sheb Wooley

The Songtopsy Report ·

2020/09/15

You know the song, but you definitely don't know what it's actually about; but did the artist even? We dive into the history of the hit novelty song "The Purple People Eater" on this week's episode, and along the way Mike provides an extensive history on the life of both Sheb Wooley and the monster itself, including scenes from the JAW-DROPPING 1988 movie based on the song.

Ep 142: "Talkin' Baseball" by Terry Cashman

The Songtopsy Report ·

2020/09/08

While this song may hold a spot in hearts of millions of baseball fans everywhere, it's important to know that it's also a terrible song (at least according to Nick). We dissect ALL of the versions of this perennial classic from the 80's, but stay tuned to the very end to hear an original and heartwarming NEW version sung by Steven Trolinger himself! “Talkin’ Bad Songs” Produced by Andy Felicitas https://www.felicitasentertainment.com Hosted on Acast.

Ep 141: The Mysterious Axeman's Jazz Murders (B-Sides)

The Songtopsy Report ·

2020/09/01

The history of jazz is filled with as many dead bodies as it is wrong notes, and on this week's episode we go true-crime as we dive into the infamous (and purportedly jazz-loving) axeman's murders that plagued New Orleans in the early 20th century. Along the way we also dissect the actual piece of music that came out of these crimes and marvel at its...surprising jauntiness? Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Ep 140: "WAP" by Cardi B feat. Megan Thee Stallion

The Songtopsy Report ·

2020/08/25

This week we dive into the new anthem of female empowerment by two women of color that, for some reason, a lot of white people seem to not be thrilled with. We take a nuanced look on the way this song de-stigmatizes female sexuality and how it fills a need for music and entertainment that caters to more than just a single watered-down mass audience, but don't worry there's plenty of immature humor too.

Ep 139: "Flatten Da Curve" by Albany Lou ft. Uncle Murda

The Songtopsy Report ·

2020/08/18

What we need in this pandemic isn't grounded reasoning or scientific inquiry, we need a white rapper from Nick's hometown letting us know how all of it is one giant conspiracy. We dive into up-and-coming rapper Albany Lou's latest anthem "Flatten Da Curve," and along the way Mike dives into Albany's sordid past, Nick reminisces about Albany's namesake town, and Steve certainly doesn't get topical.

Ep 138: John Cena's Rap Career

The Songtopsy Report ·

2020/08/11

The Doctor of Thuganomics has undergone many changes throughout his extensive career, but it is perhaps his white-guy-rap persona that was the most unfortunate. Steve leads us on a journey through John Cena's music career, from his start as a "ruthlessly aggressive" baby face all the way through the memefication of his theme song. Hosted on Acast.

Ep 137: Jada Pinkett Smith's Nu-Metal Band Wicked Wisdom

The Songtopsy Report ·

2020/08/04

Before she was breaking Facebook Live with her husband Will Smith, Jada Pinkett Smith was fronting an honest-to-god Nu-Metal band that she founded herself. Was it just a novelty act, a vanity project, or a legitimate nu-metal act; which in turn would make it something we should all avoid?

How did Ludacris, Ozzy’s guitarist, and Chad Kroeger all end up in the same place with a bunch of Canadian f#&kboys at the Hard Rock in Vegas surrounded by half-naked gyrating women? We attempt to figure that out as we dissect the hit song “Porn Star Dancing” by the short lived rock band My Darkest Days Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

The Songtopsy Report ·

2020/07/07

Anti-drug mascot McGruff the Crime Dog branched out into many forms of media throughout his career, including the incredibly obscure pop rock album for kids "Smart Kids (say no to drugs)." With hit songs all about marijuana being a gateway drug to accusatory songs assuming you use crack and cocaine to whatever the HELL is happening on the last track, this album serves as living proof that the war on drugs was lost before it even began.

Ep 132: The 6 Craziest National Anthems

The Songtopsy Report ·

2020/06/30

We get patriotic on this week's 4th of July episode by celebrating some of the OTHER not-America national anthems from other countries in the world. From lyrics about drinking the blood of your enemies, to other songs that also feature lyrics about drinking the blood of your enemies, clearly America's national anthem is way too docile.

We get (American) biblical on this week's episode on the hit song "The Champion" by Vegas-showman-meets-televangelist Carman. Over the course of this 9 minute spoken-word opus Jesus, Satan, and Al Capone (no, seriously) meet in an intergalactic colosseum to box each other for..reasons, and we attempt to figure out what exactly Carman might have been thinking.

Ep 130: The Angel Dust Album by Faith No More

The Songtopsy Report ·

2020/06/16

Everybody loves Faith No More, right? Then why does nobody talk about the fact that the prolific rock band released one of the weirdest, most avant-garde mainstream albums of the 90's? On this week's episode Mike dives into the most bizarre moments from Angel Dust, from crack Hitlers, to white trash soliloquies, to German...shooting festival polkas?

We dissect Fergie's anglophile anthem to London Bridge (not to be confused with Tower Bridge, like Fergie does) on this week's episode. Along the way Nick exhaustively researches the history of the bridge itself, Mike discusses the 'awkward naked dance' part of a Zoom date, and Steve explains the importance of spelling.

On this week's episode we take a break on ragging on other music and take shots at the music that WE enjoy (despite the fact we should know better). Between Nick's metal, Mike's bubblegum pop, and Steve's politically-incorrect novelty songs, we're here to show in this episode that we don't know any better either.

We're back in the world of Nu (ah-ah-ah-ah) Metal on this week's episode all about the Disturbed classic that has become unusually popular as of late. What is it about? Does it still hold up? Why is it the only song ever written that has an "abuse section?" We answer all these questions and more during an especially disturbing dissection.
