This is an iconic song with an iconic video.  We didn't know the words to this song before sitting down to record this episode, but it feels like we picked a good one.  Babylon? The edge of oblivion? Strong words?The song is excellent, and we are all very glad that it wasn't a ballad.  We are also not sure that it was appropriate to have on Alvin and the Chipmunks or Veggie TalesThings get sexyRock out with your chung outInsert finger guns hereHave fun, wang chunge-mail: DecompositionPod@gmail.comtwitter: Decomp_podhttps://www.facebook.com/decompositionpod

I would like to make this abundantly clear; what is about to get stuck in your head is entirely Natty Bumpercar's fault! Here are three animal-related Christmas songs.  Ugh, that's all I got, go buy his bookAnd adopt his puppyhttps://www.amazon.com/Douglas-Christmas-Tale-Joseph-Carney/dp/B08NZTPSBR/ref=sr_1_1?dchild=1&keywords=Douglas+Joe+Carney&qid=1608823193&sr=8-1E-mail: decompositionPod@gmail.comTwitter: @Decomp_Pod @NattyBumpercarFacebook, IG, whatever: Decomposition Podcast 

Oh Lindsey, where do we even begin.  He hardly even tried with this one, and now it is a decades-spanning Christmas classic.  Easily the fewest lines per song we have ever discussed.  Plus Barking!!He does some strange things, and makes strange choices...and has for 50 plus years.Plus you get to learn about the origins of "Windows down, radio up!"All that and we have a new arch-nemesis!Take a ride on that West Coast KickDecompositionPod@gmail.comTwitter: Decomp_PodIG: https://www.instagram.com/decompositionpod/Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/decompositionpod 

Teresa didn't do her homework.  Katie gets saucey.This song sounds like 1996.  If you listened to the radio in 96' then hopefully you remember this song.  Or the chorus, at least.  The Refreshments released Fizzy, Fuzzy, Big and Buzzy in 96, had a big his with "Banditos." and then promptly disappeared from the radio and Mtv.  They are still around today as Roger Clyne and the Peacemakers and still writing fantastic songs.  This album is a top 10 for Brad.  High energy songs with stellar guitar hooks and excellent writing, to boot.  Which is why he owns 2 copies.Roger Clyne writes Springsteen-esque story-songs that paint a vivid picture without spelling it out for the audience, as if they were the stupid people that populate the world.Teresa is an excellent guitar playerist "Near, near, near, near..."  That's her shreddingthis episode gets sexy, Katie can't keep it in her pantsTempe, AZ's 2nd biggest post-grunge, alt-rock band of the mid-90'sE-mail: decompositionpod@gmail.comTwitter: @decomp_podFacebook:decompositionpodIG: https://www.instagram.com/decompositionpod/#teresaepisode

Are you ready to party safely?  Katie is! Brad is barely awake.  But if you are ready for a safe party then turn on Buffalo Stance, do katie's new dance, and buckle up.  Neneh Cherry is nothing if not an extremely versatile artist.  And we learn a lot about her and her life.  From her musical family, to her various musical projects over the years.  Learning is fun!!!  This song is wild.  DJ Timmy/ Bomb the Bass, Mutant crocodile feet, padded boob warmers. Whats so bad about drinking beer through a straw, and why does Neneh Cherry hate women? Is she british? Another important question; What is a Buffalo Stance?  We answer all these questions while also discussing every other song in existence.So don't you get fresh with me!Gigolo, sucka!! DecompositionPod@gmail.comTwitter: @decomp_podFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/decompositionpodIG: https://www.instagram.com/decompositionpod/@Darincredible@SNLNerdsshow 

This week we try something a little different.  We each wrote out what we thought we heard when listening to the song "Yellow Ledbetter."  It's an excellent song with famously mush-mouthed lyrics.Hannah and Carmine, wearing boxers, on the rayside. onna gomman onna way.  Who knows?  Just sing whatever you want to close out a Pearl Jam concert.  Its all about communityAlso, Brad doesn't want to hear your opinions #teresaepisode

Ronald James Padavona, AKA Ronnie James Dio, died a heavy metal legend in 2010.  He left the world a great gift in the form of a little song called "Holy Diver," which feels like a parody of itself. AllMusic called Dio's work "unquestionably stellar songwriting."Teresa thinks this song is "fantastically written."Katie andBrad both think this is rhyming metal-garbage.  And yet they love singing along with the song, and Teresa doesn't like it.Anyway, this episode is a goofy one.  Enjoy.

Nerdy suburban kids need music too.  Thankfully we had Adam Schlesinger.  The message of many Fountains of Wayne songs was that even if things are terrible now we can still be optimistic and thankful for what we have.Katie cries.Its the best spring break everThanks for all you gave us, Adam Schlesinger#ShineOnShineOnShineOn

WE'RE BACK, BABY!  And we are quarantined, and thus have time to occasionally record an episode for you guys.  2011 was huge for the band fun.  Thats "fun period."  This is a fun-period song, not a fun, period song.Also, Nate Ruess is history's greatest monster.Bergenfield, NJ's own Jack Antonoff and his band, fun., smashed two adequate songs together to make one terrible song... and it blew upThey completely underused the talents of Janelle MonaeThen broke upBleachers is better.Stay safePeriod

PSYCHOLOGY!! This song is dark and sticky.  And its really really really good.  Brad has an idea about the scene, Katie decides whether or not it holds up.She also has no idea which songs are by Peter Gabriel and which songs are by Phil Collins.That's all I want to type.

Katie had no idea what other song by the Monkees contained the word "Believer."First-time guest John Trumbull joins us in our new podcast studio/ murder basement. Spoiler alert: he doesn't get murdered. John has a lot of Monkee-love (hubba hubba) so it is fitting that we have him over for this song. He has the hat! He brought a DVD! Thats a real fan right there.This song was the beginning of the end for this fake-band-turned-tv-show-turned-real-band.Find out how little Peter Tork contributed. Find out why Mike Nesmith is independently wealthy.

Well, it's happened. Brad has finally fully embraced his role as the villain of the podcast. And plenty of people got to watch it happen. Gawker described this song as "flawless," but somehow we were able to find flaws. This song was a super-mega-hit that was certified Diamond (10 Mil. units sold.)

VACATION, SUCKERS! Enjoy this classic (?) 'sode

Remembering the name of this band is difficult. It isn't Walk Off The Earth... they are a much better band. Walk The Moon wrote a song that has already been written by several other bands from the 80's. Why do white people love this song so much? Do white people love this song? Did Brad invent a stereotype? This one is short and sweet. Get psyched for DECOMPOSITION LIVE on Fri.

Bees, Pubes, Elephant trumpets... all sorts of wiedness happening here. And yet, a lesser rapper couldn't pull it off. Thats why Missy Elliot is a gift. We hear about a new YouTube Channel "Sex Parts with Kate Nichols," so long as there isn't already a "Sex Parts with Fate Pickles," out there already. For whom is Missy shaving her cha-cha (Cho-cha?) Who knows? The pube truthers demand an answer! Second great idea: a lift-and-shape thong for your ba-donk-a-donk-donk. Did Missy just assume she could speak Chinese?

This is a very special episode of Decomposition. Katie and Brad had the chance to interview one of their favorite songwriters around; Chris Trapper, front man for the band The Push Stars. We discuss the songwriting process, rubbing elbows with other big name musicians, writing hit songs for movies, winning awards, and making hands tremble. Feel free to drunk text the man... we would!

Patrick Bateman was correct, despite how you feel about his murderous rampage, about Huey Lewis and the News. This is one of Brad's favorite bands. Katie is on board, for the most part, but still finds them to be cheesy. Darin is way, way, WAAAAAAY on board. When they team up against Katie then she is the one who gets schooled! This song, penned by legendary producer Mutt Lange, was Hu-Lew-and-the-New's first big hit song, which paved the way for 18 other Top 10 hits, was perhaps their cheesiest song with the dumbest lyrics. Cheesy in a wonderful way, though, like a crunchy mozzarella...Darin...right? Katie learns some hard truths in this episode and we sing lots and lots of great songs.

Are you interested in ways to torture your loved ones? Well, Brad has a technique that you have to try. Rachel Platten wrote this song to convince herself that she still had a place in the music industry, and it quickly became an anthem for overcoming obstacles. Brad uses this song as a punchline for overcoming the tiniest inconveniences. we hope that this song could start a twitter fight(song.) Teresa, very pregnant at the time, has a filthy mind. Words like Pre-chorus, wrecking balls, and the phrase turned-on make her act like a child. Katie also tries to point out how Rachel Platten is EXACTLY like Gilgamesh. And we all get to hear Teresa go on about how she hates competition. Did you know there was a live action Peter Rabbit movie?

Led Zeppelin; rock gods, right? They really were greater than the sum of their parts. Even with the addition of Robert Plant. This is a story-song. Is it a story? Who is the main character? Who is his girl? Is she a bluebird? Has it been ten years to the day, or was this years ago in days of old? Erik is both a Zep-head as well as a LOTR nerd, so there is no better guest suited for this, perhaps the biggest juxtaposition between musical ability and lyrical content. Did Tom Bombadil get a bad rap? We are goin' real deep for you nerds this week. "Baby, baby, baby, baby, baby, baby, baby." R. Plant decompositionpod@gmail.com @decomp_pod http://decompositionpodcast.simplecast.fm https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/decomposition-podcast/id1214062072

We are taking the week off. Why? Because we deserve it. So instead of some brand new content, why don't you re-live this classic episode from January of 2018?

It is frequently considered one of the worst songs of all time. And yet we, as a people, shot this song up onto the charts 5 times since its composition in 1968. The most popular of which was released by Donna Summer as a 17 minute-long suite. We should be ashamed. Cake melting? Rivers in the sky? Chinese checkers? Somehow it has won two Grammy's. This is pseudo-surrealism without the benefit of being written by someone who has used drugs. Jimmy Webb is not good at this... Moxie stays on-brand and drops a ton of fun tidbits.

This isn't your typical episode of Decomposition. This episode is more of a love letter to the band REM. Natty Bumpercar grew up in Macon, Georgia. He went to school at UGA in Athens. Thus, REM is a very important band to him. He has been able to rub elbows with the likes of Stipe, Buck, Mills and Berry on numerous occasions and Michael Stipe himself even doled out the nicest complement Natty has ever gotten. But fear not, we still have a ton of fun along the way. With discussions about mythology, geography, religion, and Reagan-era politics. Natty tells us about the worst thing he has ever done, which also ties into his first concert experience. This song is a politically charged, stream-of-consciousness, romp that still makes us sing along 32 years later.

Dennis DeYoung is a crazy person. He created the concept album/ rock-opera "Kilroy Was Here," which was a half-baked idea that essentially caused Tommy Shaw to quit the band. It's easy to see why. This song and, likely the entire album, was garbage. He was like a non-talented Jim Steinman/ Billy Joel/ Jenna Maroney hybrid.. What on Earth does "Modren man," mean? Why on earth does he pronounce "Mannequin," like that? He's not a hero, he's not a savior, but he definitely IS a murderer who will save you heroically. Kilroy is also possibly the most polite murderer ever. We also discuss what it is that makes one human, and coin a new type of irony; Accidental Irony. Get ready to have this garbage trapped in your ear holes for the next week. There's also a touch of dog-murder. Stay classy, Decomposition!

This super-group ROCKS SO SOFT! Its a group made up of not-so-terribly well known musicians; Blond Fred Armisen, Emilia Estevez, Darryl Hall, and Darryl Strawberry. How is it that Teresa and Katie don't like hair bands, but they do love this song? The Answer: Sing-along. We learn all about shredding on the guitar (Blooms, Bong, and twee.) We get into the oddness of one particular line that nobody knows anyway. Are there blue traffic lights? Is this just another dirty old man song? Maybe not, but it is man-splainy and condescending. Also, let's enjoy Katie going full-on prude in this episode. Stay tuned, there's a sing along at the end, and even Mike joins in for some rare on-mic banter.

SPRING BREAK!!!! Katie and Brad are taking the week off but didn't want to leave you without and content. So they've decided to re-release an episode that they recorded with their friend, Gbenga, on the hit song "99 Problems," by Jay-Z. Gbenga is a Jay-Z superfan and Katie did not think that she cared for this song. Wait until she sees just how wrong she was.

This is groundbreaking news: We uncover a murder plot and the murderer is none other than ONE OF THE PRESIDENTS OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA!! Who is Lump? Why does she want brains (plural?) Is she a figment of Casper Babypants' imagination? Is she a zombie? If not then why are the piranha's confused, Katie? Did this song, along with Taylor Swifts "Love Story," inspire the Nicholas Hoult zombie-romantic-comedy "Warm Bodies?" Well, don't worry; we have all of your answers... that you probably never cared to think about. Plus, we figure out how ghosts work. http://decompositionpodcast.simplecast.fm @decomp_pod decompositionpod@gmail.com https://itunes.apple.com/us/podcast/decomposition-podcast/id1214062072?mt=2

Jewel's album "Pieces of You," was an integral part of Katie and Emily's formative teenage years. Very moody, very melodramatic, and loaded with pancakes. Jewel obviously did something to ruin this relationship...and then turned into a straight-up crazy person who wrote a song. Possibly while brandishing an ak47 in Mexico with her songwriting partner, Steve Poltz. Jewel switches from church-voice to baby-voice seamlessly. She writes bad poetry. And she doesn't know the meaning of the word "casualty." Perhaps that would be a good thing to know before handling a semi-automatic in a drug bust in Mexico.

For April Fools Day we have decided to partake in "Operation Switcheroo," as spearheaded by our friend Moxie over at the "Your Brain On Facts," podcast. We are adding an episode by the Build-a-Band podcast in order to introduce it to new listeners.

Vitamin C wrote some middle school poetry when she was 27.  She didn't quite sing it, then it was released in '99, and became a hit in 2000.  There are a TON of problems with this song.  What is the timeline? Does she only care about two people in her class?  Is Heather the dullest person on the planet?  How on Earth did she have a second hit with "Smile?"

HEAR YE! HEAR YE! David Bowie and Iggy Pop cordially invite you to the drug ball!! "Let's Dance," was rock-legend David Bowie's most commercially successful album. It also contained this garbage number. Co-written and originally recorded by Iggy Pop, it may be about a Vietnamese woman. But the racism really hit a new peak when David Bowie recorded it years later. Is it racist? Or not racist? Or about drugs? Probably racist

This is a crazy, fun, ridiculous song... which is why we love it. Super-producer, Don Was, created something that makes no sense, and yet somehow makes perfect sense. What would you use to make a drink called "Monkey Skull." Does this song take place in the Mario Bro.s movie universe? How did they watch Miami Vice AND passing cars 40 million years ago? And exactly how is this a song about nuclear annihilation? Great tune. Listen to it on your favorite cruise. http://www.tyraney.com/ @ComedianTyRaney https://itunes.apple.com/us/podcast/the-ty-raney-podcast/id1402708697?mt=2

Forest or jungles? Are they the same? Sara live-fact-checks us until we get her to join in the conversation. TMNT III. Nonsense all-around and a new bleeping record. There are too many versions of this song. www.michigansportsandentertainment.com

This episode is all over the place. Country pop, Hich-hop, disco? Equine preservation societies. PETA members. It's very confusing. Katie gets a new nickname (Kathryn the Better-Than-Most.) Sexy cows, sexy accountants, Love pirates, Omarion. All over the place. Great song, though. Also, we find out whether or not Nashville has a Broadway it does Listen anyway

Happy 2-year anniversary!!! Concluding our 3-part series, Steinmania, we tackle what might be the most insane Jim Steinman song yet. Well, it's certainly the most insane video. Bonnie Tyler teamed up with Jim Steinman to deliver a powerhouse ballad. Tyler's distinctive vocals and Steinman's theatrical songwriting soared to the top of the charts and is still a much beloved song. There's a LOT of aggressive fingering and fisting in this episode... which Katie does not care for. Also, vampires... somehow there are vampires. Go watch the video, what are you doing with your life. #Steinmania

Happy anniversary! This week we are re-releasing one of our most popular episodes. Brad's brother, Matt, first appeared on Decomposition to talk about Air Supply's 1983 hit "Making Love Out Of Nothing At All." Laughs abound, and you might even learn a little something along the way! Also in this episode: FORESHADOWING

Happy 2-year anniversary!! This year, Brad and Katie are putting out a 3 part series on the works of crazy, evil, rock-genius Jim Steinman. Part one is a remastered version of their early episode on the Meat Loaf hit "Rock and Roll Dreams Come Through."

This song is pretty insufferable. Will.i.am recorded this song for his album #willpower and then decided to nix it, which we understand. Both Mick Jagger and J-Lo phone-in a performance... cool. There's a lot of talk about Will.i.am's penis (or someone else's, it isn't clear.) Statues, by the way, don't have to be hard. Feces isn't pronounced "fees-is." Some of these lines would be better if they were written for a better-sounding song. They weren't. This song is pretty insufferable. FUN GAME: Count Brad's "uuuuuhhhhhh's," in this episode! @decomp_pod Decompositionpod@gmail.com https://itunes.apple.com/us/podcast/decomposition-podcast/id1214062072?mt=2

Katie had a revelation, she loves INXS, she just didn't realize that all of these hit songs were by the same band. Jamie and Brad, however, have always been on board. "Never Tear Us Apart," was on the seminal album "Kick," and one of 7 hit singles from this monster release. We discuss the use of the word "collide," as well as the phrase "I wanna be inside you," which, logically leads us to collide inside you. A LOT of literary talk here, from geeking out over Shakespeare, to Emily Dickinson, to The Unbearable Lightness of Being, to Lord Of The Flies. We discover the meaning of "Limbeck," and then go through all of our fav INXS tunes. The world lost a great singer when we lost Michael Hutchence in 1997. Thankfully, his songs are as fantastic today as they were when they were on top of the charts. https://www.facebook.com/TheBardBand/ @decomp_pod #NeverTearUsApart

Teddy Riley is a legend in the R&B world. Credited with birthing New Jack Swing, as well as co-writing and producing a jillion hit songs. Little did we know how ahead of its time "No Diggity," was when it came out. It was respectful of women and very sex-positive. Don't worry, Katie gives us a point-by-point analysis of why. Blackstreet? More like WOKESTREET!! Puns, m'er f'ers, puns! Why is Queen Pen a part of this song? Who are the original Rump Shakers? Also, my apologies for the less-than-good audio quality this week. I tried my best, guys. I tried my best. @Darincredible www.darincredible.com https://non-productive.com/snlnerds/ https://itunes.apple.com/us/podcast/the-virgin-chronicles/id1021803956?mt=2

This is a record setting song. Let that sink in for a minute. Marcy Playground wrote a sleepy, nonsense song in an hour. That song shot up to #1 and stayed there for 15 weeks. Lazy songwriting, odd pronunciations, no bridge... and this was the best song on the album. Probably any subsequent albums as well. Good news, The Woz & Co. are still out there touring. We learn about Sean's movie soundtrack enthusiasm as well as his candy enthusiasm. We discuss post-modernism, and get into the similarities between this wacky video and a Matisse. Panty raids were all the rage in the late 90's, by the way https://ttfnetwork.com/ @ttfnetwork #ThrowtheFlag #Disco #Lem-OH-nade #RollIt

Holy Banana! This is a strange song. Somehow it's about people trying to keep their balance on a ferry. Written by Lionel Whatshispuss. It also features MOST of the Bangles singing and playing their instruments. The massive success of this song may have been the beginning of the end of the Bangles, but it sure lives on in our hearts. Also, if anyone wants to put together a Ladies of the 80's festival, please float us some free tix. Ok, thanks.

today we are re-releasing last year's Christmas episode where we invite Teresa to Decompose the hit song by NewSong, "The Christmas Shoes."

As a Christmas gift this year we have decided to give you a little stocking-stuffer of an episode. When we heard the 2018 song "All I Really Want For Christmas," by Lil Jon feat. Kool-Aid Man (what?) we knew we had to record an emergency episode of Decomposition. We reached out to several friends and were able to get their opinions. Special thanks to Teresa, Josh, Sean, Sandy, Darin, and Natty Bumpercar for contributing to what is surely a very special Christmas. Feliz Navidad! No Eggnog @darincredible @nattybumpercar https://t.co/njXOuJnp2c www.darincredible.com @virginchronpod www.nattybumpercar.com

A giggle-fit from the get-go. The moon/ mood is right. Right? This song pays Sir Paul approximately $400k a year in royalties. A million (approx,) the sounds of many instruments being thrown down stairs, cat's jumping on a synthesizer, the odd "Ding-Dong," "AAAAHHHHH, Don't look down," and some of the laziest songwriting we have ever heard. And it isn't even McCartney's WORST Christmas song! It is possibly Brads least favorite song of all time, though. Also, we assume we know British Christmas Traditions, and how they may be inspired by "Inferno." All that and the delights of Katie taking the worlds smallest bites of cookie. this episode is funny, contentious, and much more enjoyable to listen to than the song we are discussing. #HappyChristmas #TeresaEpisode #RollIt

The Pogues never had a hit in the U.S. However, this song has become an annual favorite on radio stations all over the country and has landed on the British charts 14 times. I guess if Elvis Costello dares you to write a Christmas song then you do it. We get into their possible homophobia, drug use, binge drinking, and the sad story behind this very non-traditional Christmas song/ Irish folk tune. Is it somehow inspired by An American Tale? Then we spend some time discussing the tragic story of Kirsty MacColl's life and the very WTF circumstances behind it. All that and Katie's perspective on the "Baby It's Cold Outside," nonsense.

David Archuleta is still a celebrity. He has just released his second Christmas album and this is the lead single, though it feels like he is trying to get himself into an Old Navy campaign. the song is a pile of Christmas drivel. His cadence is strange. The song is nonsense and comes off as some sort of holiday-themed Groundhog Day. Katie hates on some kid. Brad gives his list of things that he hates in Christmas music. Plus a ton of definitely, 100% accurate, hippo impressions. All that and a run-down of the songs on Katie's phone. Commence giggling.

This is the longest song ever. It's only four and a half minutes long, and yet it goes on forever. We discuss deserts, Wind-surfing, mental teleportation, and terrible cabaret performances featuring death and 'Oh Holy Night." Does this song need a bass solo? Does it need a saxophone solo ON TOP of that? Katie is offended by this song both as an Arab woman and an English Literature teacher. How did this song reach the charts twice and yet we have never heard of it. Snarfle your snuffles and get ready for a goofball episode.

Katie saw Rusted Root live, they were fine. Brad owned two of their albums, they were also fine. There's no doubt that this song inspires sheer joy and has, thankfully, stood the test of time, despite not really charting that high at the time of its initial release. But '95 was a tough year. Tell you what; if you get fired from your job then go out strong just like Rick did. Peter Gabriel's "So," Paul Simon's "Graceland," Talking Head's "This Must Be the Place." All distilled by some white hippies out of Pittsburgh. Ombaseeyou, ombatellyou New Game: Glabicking, or Glibnicking. Give it a try, have some fun. This guy has a VERY expressive mouth. Happy Birthday to you, Joe Shipley.

Katie and Tim argue Thats about it Queen was great and Tim is wrong
