Lyrics to Go is a show about bad song lyrics. Listen in as music geeks Marc Davis, Seth Ford and guests discuss songs with terrible, misunderstood or confusing lyrics.
-
174 - Cumbersome
The guys dig deep into the high school poetry that makes up the lyrics of 7 Mary 3's hit Cumbersome. Overflowing with self-reference and Eddie Vedder's impressions, this song will make it so you don't know if you're coming or going. Oh yeah, no. Yeah yeah, no no. Yeah. No.
-
173 - Family Man
Seth and Marc talk Hall & Oates with their cover of the Mike Oldfield-penned Family Man. A sex worker propositions a man who rebuffs her advances while also telling her that if she keeps asking, he might say yes. Who is in the wrong here and does he give in?
-
172 - We Built This City
Seth and Marc revisit a band they haven't talked about since episode 3... Starship's "We Built This City." Highly regarded as one of the worst songs of the 80's by some publications and one of the worst songs ever by others, where do the guys think it stack
-
171 - Holding Out For A Hero
Marc and Seth read off the litany of prerequisites to be Bonnie Tyler's titular hero in Holding Out For A Hero and feel bad about themselves. Also, why does she need someone who is fresh from a fight? What is she not telling us? And what does this have to do with Footloose?!
-
170 - Dancing In The Moonlight
The dudes look at the lyrics to King Harvest's twinkly version of Dancing In The Moonlight. However, it's the story behind the song that is the much bigger reveal here.
-
169 - That'll Be The Day
Seth and Marc unfurl the lyrics to The Crickets' (by the way of Buddy Holly) hit That'll Be The Day. Does it surprise us that this song is filled with a litany of different kinds of mental manipulation? No, not at all. Are we going to still cover it? Absolutely.
Customer Reviews
Come for the lyrics, stay for Marc and Seth
The content of this pod is great, Marc and Seth and their guests have great insight into some whacky song lyrics, I always find what they have to say to be interesting and entertaining. Not only are these guys insightful and funny, but I find their conversations to be choc full of healthy masculinity, and that is rare these days. I listen every week!
You guys are doing gods work
Hilariously filling the void in podcastland on this subject. First episode I found was Drops of Jupiter and I never looked back.
Found you guys through Profiles in Eccentricity
And I’m glad I did. I’ve listened to 3 episodes today and recommended you to twice that many people already. So glad I discovered this and more people need to be listening. Thanks for the great content.
