Hey everyone, it's your favorite twin brother duo Pat + Sean Kelly here. We have a brand new podcast called Songs We Hate To Love where we talk about the most famously infamous music of all time. In season one, we hit some of the most divisively unifying songs of the millennial era - like Lou Bega's 1999 smash hit Mambo No. 5, Carly Rae Jepson's candy pop classic, Call Me Maybe, Sisqo's undergarment anthem Thong Song, and so much more. Each week we try to make the case for a different track. Is it really as bad as people say? Or is it possibly the greatest song of all time. Join us as we dive a little deeper into the songs that some people love to hate, and others hate to love… --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/songswehatetolovepodcast/message
