TnT's Hit Songs From Mars

Send us a textIn this touching episode, the boyz go way down south and get down and dirty down under with Divinyls' classic hit "I Touch Myself." In their journey of self discovery, they learn that women have always led the charge when it comes to songs about self-pleasure, leaving men in the dark. Join Tommy Two Tones and Titillating Ty as they work hand-in-glove to put their finger on the reasons for this shocking discrepancy. Songs:The Reverb Syndicate - Better Dancing Through TechnologyThe Deep Dark Woods - RubyNick Cave - FrogsTilda - If We Were TwentyDivinyls - I Touch MyselfDivinyls - Pleasure and PainPrince - Darling NikkiCyndi Lauper - She BopOlivia Newton-John - I Touch MyselfPink - FingersRod Stewart - InfatuationAfroman - Because I Got HighTommy Tutone - 867-5309 (Jenny)Connect with us:Instagram

On their journey through 1990s alternative space, they consider the innovation of the era, including off-key intros, sado-masochistic lyrics, and the rhythmic beauty of bong water bubbles. Join the boyz as they make a divine splash into one of the most interesting eras of rock.Songs:The Reverb Syndicate - Better Dancing Through TechnologyBilly Joel - We Didn't Start the FireThe Breeders - CannonballPixies - Monkey Gone to HeavenPixies - GiganticBelly - Feed the TreeBob Dylan - Like a Rolling StonePavement - StereoMorphine - A Cure For PainMark Lanegan ft.

Speaking of spirits, they finally get around to the "whisky challenge" making for a wobbly trip down memory lane.

Send us a textIn the 40th episode of TnT's Hit Songs From Mars, our little elves wonder if "they really know it's Christmas" as they take a 40-year dive into Band Aid's 1984 song of a similar name. Tom reveals his vulnerable side by commending the stars of the day for putting their egos aside and coming together for a humanitarian cause, while Ty remains the same cynical scrooge as ever. The boyz reconcile, in the true spirit of Christmas, by agreeing that "We are the World" sucked and for "Northern Lights", tears, and all of Canada's top talent, were not enough. O come all ye faithful and spread a little Christmas cheer with TnT.Songs:The Reverb Syndicate - Better Dancing Through TechnologyHowe Gelb - The FarmGiant Sand - ShiverBand Aid - Do They Know it's ChristmasBoney M. - RasputinThe Boomtown Rats - I Don't Like MondaysUltravox - Dancing With Tears in My EyesUSA For Africa - We Are the WorldNorthern Lights - Tears Are Not EnoughHear N' Aid - StarsU2 - Sunday Bloody SundayDavid Bowie - Heroes (Live Aid)Jimmy Page - OutriderBand Aid - Do They Know it's Christmas (2024 Ultimate Mix)Connect with us:Instagram

Send us a textIn this very special Halloween episode, Tom and Ty get out their protective eyewear, turn around, and stare into the bright eyes of Bonnie Tyler's 1983 "Total Eclipse of the Heart." Nearly blinded by Jim Steinman's over-the-top songwriting, the two marvel at how he and Bonnie Tyler make the song work (in spite of Tom almost purging his Halloween candy over the multitudinous key changes...or maybe it was the meatloaf?  Another slice, anyone?). The boys dig deep into how pioneering music video maestro Russell Mulcahy brought his spooky magic to the song, creating a perplexing masterpiece for the ages.

Send us a textIn this episode, the lads pay homage to Michael Jackson's 1996 sleeper hit "They Don't Care About Us."  On their pilgrimage (by llama of course), they are joined by the likes of Paul McCartney, Mick Jagger, Freddie Mercury, Thomas Dolby Notorious B.I.G., and Spike Lee as they march to the other-worldly rhythms of Olodum. With the help of this braintrust, the fellas get down and dirty in the favelas of Rio and attempt to unravel how this combative musical offering became an anthem for the dispossessed across the globe.Songs:Reverb Syndicate - Better Dancing Through TechnologyChampagne Weather - RiseTimber Timber - Run from MeVia Mardot - Tie to the BarBernard Hoffman - The Day the Earth Stood StillMichael Jackson - They Don't Care About UsMichael and Janet Jackson - ScreamMichael Jackson - This Time AroundGrupo Batuque - BatucumbaOlodum - Samba ReggaeThe Who - Cut My HairMichael Jackson and Paul McCartney - The Girl Is MineThe Jacksons and Mick Jagger - State of ShockMichael Jackson and Freddie Mercury - State of ShockLionel Richie - All Night Long (All Night)Connect with us:Instagram

Send us a Text Message.In this episode the TnT Dork Collective get their nerd on with the geeky 1982 classic "She Blinded Me With Science." Tom blows Ty's mind with some little-known (and nerdy) Thomas Dolby trivia, including his associations with Foreigner, Joni Mitchell and Michael Jackson and then spazzes out when Ty nails his I'll-bet-you-didn't-know questions with the greatest of ease (like a true geek).

Send us a Text Message.In this episode the fellas dream their way back to 1963 and stare in disbelief (and delight) as the legendary Roy Orbison upstages the Beatles not once but twice with his top ten hit "In Dreams."  Little did Roy know that as Orbi-mania faded that the Candy Colored Clown was sound asleep aboard the HSFM mothership, existing in a state of suspended animation for 23 years, only to be awoken by illustrious film director David Lynch.  Lynch proceeded to revive not only the sandman but Roy's career as well. Join the boyz as they examine the unlikely trajectory of "In Dreams" and tip their sleeping caps to Roy's undeniable influence across the musical spectrum, including such diverse acts as Van Halen, Chris Isaak, Morrissey and U2.Songs:The Imperial March - John WilliamsRound Midnight - Miles DavisThe Bird - Charlie ParkerJohnny B.

Send us a Text Message.In this episode Tom goes berserk for Björk while Ty is blasé on her quirk. While Tom tries to convince Ty to not be a “jörk” about her work, the boys discuss the annoyingly unrepresentative hits that sometimes define an artist. While figuratively walking in the forest with Björk they manage to get into a discussion about primal guitar rock and the urge to jump off a cliff. Join the gentlemen as they not so quietly discuss the artist from Mars who came down to earth briefly to surprise us all with this unlikely hit!Songs:Reverb Syndicate - Better Dancing Through TechnologyWeezer - Say It Ain't SoGreen Day - When I Come AroundSmashing Pumpkins - Bullet With Butterfly WingsBjörk - It's Oh So QuietTina Charles - I Love to LoveThe Sugarcubes - BirthdayBjörk - Army of MeBjörk - IsobelBjörk - It's Not Up to YouSupergrass - Caught By the FuzzSupergrass - AlrightThe Cure - Boys Don't CryThe Clash - Career OpportunitiesThe Cult - She Sells SanctuaryThe Cult - WildflowerTears For Fears - Everybody Wants to Rule the WorldBjörk - Hyper-Ballad (Family Tree Version)XTC - Senses Working OvertimeConnect with us:Instagram

Send us a Text Message.In this episode, the lads travel back to the disco era where they shake their boo-tays to none other than...Pink Floyd?  As they try to dig the dark Floydian disco groove, they critique some hits (and misses) of rock bands attempting disco and marvel at how the genre penetrated every nook and cranny of the era that bears its name. Ty also offers Tom an olive branch for his unrelenting dissing of producers, which Tom preempts...with a gift.  All and all, it's just another brick in the...strobe light illuminated dance floor?Songs:Reverb Syndicate - Better Dancing Through TechnologyNational Lampoon Radio Hour - The Immigrants: "The Hillbillies"Pink Floyd - Another Brick in the Wall pt. 2Kiss - I Was Made for Lovin' YouGrateful Dead - Shakedown StreetPink Floyd - Several Species...Pink Floyd - MoneyQueen - Crazy Little Thing Called LoveBlondie - Call MeRod Stewart - Do Ya Think I'm Sexy?Clash - Magnificent SevenDeee-Lite - Groove is in the HeartRolling Stones - Shine a LightPink Floyd - Wish You Were HerePink Floyd - Arnold LayneAlice Cooper- School's OutKenny Loggins - HeartlightRed Hot Chili Peppers - AeroplanePink Floyd - Us and ThemAndrew Lloyd Webber - Phantom of the OperaPink Floyd - EchoesChuck Berry - School DaySmiths - Headmaster RitualRush - SubdivisionsConnect with us:Instagram

In this episode, the lads become possessed by the unnerving creepiness of Mike Oldfield's unlikely hit "Tubular Bells", the theme music from the 1973 horror classic The Exorcist.  Thankfully, special guest Joseph Trivers performs a successful exorcism on the dreadful scene, through his exploration of minimalist music and the mechanics of how it confounds, delights, and offers unforeseen avenues of expression.

In this episode, the lads got them a pod that's as big as whale and it's about to set sail! On route to the B-52s' "Love Shack" they head  down the Atlanta Highway and pick up some shiny happy people including REM, Iggy Pop, Nile Rodgers, and Don Was (Not Was) and...the legendary John Lennon himself?

In this episode Tom presents his Dissertation on Delay to Professor Ralston, who must choose the Hit Songiest Song From Mars from a number of worthy (and not so worthy) candidates. The challenge pits Love and Rockets against The Temptations, Edwin Starr, Tina Turner, Anthrax and Duran Duran. This ignites a compelling discussion on the unlikely bedfellows of Goth Rock, Reggae, Motown, Psychedelia and of course...Bauhaus and Van Halen! It's a ball of confusion you do not want to miss!

Now that the Falalalala season is over, time to get into the Trololo! Join the comrades as they revisit the "Golden Age" of YouTube (and perhaps the internet itself) with Eduard Khil's legendary non-lexical vocable masterpiece. As they travel along the Information Superhighway, they find the lost songs of their youth, search for the Sugar Man, and take an unexpected trip to Africa.

O come all ye faithful and join the lads as they say pogue mahone to Christmas, with that most un-Christmassy of Christmas carols "Fairytale of New York." As they attempt (and fail) to find the true meaning of Christmas, the fellows examine the multi-year process that went into the making of this unlikely holiday classic, debate which Pogues album marked their peak, and examine the life and legacy of the late, great Shane MacGowan.

Join the lads as they put on their skates and travel back to the roller disco era, grooving to the melodious tones of the Andrea True Connection's "More, More, More."  As they try to keep their balance, the boyz marvel at the crisis turned opportunity that spawned not one but two top-ten hits (more than two decades apart, no less), ponder the origins of the death metal sound, and just try to stay out of the way of the roller derby jammers.  How do you like your TnT?  More, More, More!Songs:Reverb Syndicate - Better Dancing Through TechnologyGarfunkel and Oates - Present FaceAndrea True Connection - More, More, MoreSex-O-Rama - The Money ShotJimmy Sturr - Beer Barrel PolkaJobraith - I'm a ManDavid Bowie - RightFixx - Saved by ZeroJim Croce - Roller Derby QueenBlood Spasm - We Got CactusBee Gees - Stayin' AliveBee Gees - MassachusettsKenny Rogers and Dolly Parton - Islands in the StreamAndy Gibb - Shadow DancingBuena Vista Social Club - Chan ChanStan Rogers - Barrett's PrivateersLen - Steal My SunshineBooks:Carrie Harris - Demon Derby

In this episode, the lads kick back (all day long) on Wet Leg's "Chaise Longue." As they consume a six-pack of warm beer, they examine the Sprechgesang  (speak-singing) approach to music and uncover a long history of talk-pop dating back to the 1960s. They also wrestle with life's bigger questions such as: how a chaise longue became a "lounge," the (in)significance of the Grammys, what makes a hit song stand the test of time, and whether or not your muffin is buttered. So quit sitting over there in your underwear, join TnT and get your degree!Songs:Reverb Syndicate - Better Dancing Through TechnologyWet Leg - Chaise LongueSpinal Tap Spontaneous Combustion (Video)Jimi Hendrix - All Along the WatchtowerThe Police - Synchronicity IIdles - Model VillageWet Leg - Ur MumWet Leg - Oh NoTaylor Swift - You Need to Calm DownRamones - Judy is a PunkBig Thief - Real LoveWolf Alice - SmileThe Hold Steady - Navy SheetsDry Cleaning - Hot Penny DayPet Shop Boys - West End GirlsCake - The DistanceThe Velvet Underground - Sweet JaneJohnny Cash - The Ballad of Ira HayesPavement - StereoLou Reed - Coney Island BabyLeonard Cohen - Closing TimeThe Fall - Totally WiredThe Stranglers - PeachesDry Cleaning - Scratchcard LanyardBlack Flag - DepressionBest of Henry Rollins (Video)Laurie Anderson - Speak My LanguageRadiohead - MyxomatosisConnect with us:Instagram

In this episode, the boyz go for baroque and bet the pot on Pachelbel's smash 1680 hit Canon in D.  With the stakes high, the lads call the bluff of the artists who have incorporated Pachelbel's Canon into their music, up the ante on the idea of a collective unconscious, and are all-in on the importance of being in the right frame of mind to truly appreciate a work of art.  With their cards on the table, Ty calls out Tom's pronunciation of "mauve," but Tom keeps his pokerface, knowing he has an ace-in-the-hole with his cup of Red Rose tea.  Who rakes in the chips?  Tune in and find out...Songs:Reverb Syndicate - Better Dancing Through TechnologyPalliard - Canon in D - Arthur Fielder - Sleigh Ride Vangelis - Chariots of FireAphrodite's Child - Rain and TearsDémis Roussos - Forever and EverTop Pops - Oh Lord, Why Lord?Parliament - Oh Lord, Why Lord?Bob Marley - No Woman No CryAlphaville - Forever YoungTwisted Sister - We're Not Gonna Take ItU2 - With Or Without YouBeatles - Let It BeMaroon 5 - MemoriesBuddy Emmons - Canon in DRaf - Self-ControlBeatles - BecauseBach - "Bouree"Beatles - BlackbirdWalter Murphy - A Fifth of BeethovenGustav Holst - MarsBlack Sabbath - Black SabbathGodspeed You!

This week, the boyz take a trip down the Old Town Road to Baseball Country with special guest Bryan Ruby, professional ball player and up-and-coming country phenom. Along the way, the trio discuss the true meaning of country, songs that come out of left field, and the arduous climb to recognition in the music industry. With the bases loaded they pay homage to the legendary John Fogerty and watch Bryan hit it out of the park with his brand new rockin' cover of Centerfield.

In this episode, the lads revisit the summer of '91 and marvel at the gathering storm that will change music forever.  The bleach-blonde remnants of hair-metal are blown into the gutter of Sunset Strip, making way for the arrival of grunge, funk-rock, and heavier genre-bending possibilities.

In this episode the boys untangle the knots surrounding the unlikely pairing of Nine Inch Nails' Trent Reznor and Johnny Cash. Despite initial mistrust on both sides, the Reznor-penned "Hurt" takes on new depth and meaning sung through Cash's deep bass. Making it all happen, Rick Rubin walks the line with gentle persistence proving the power of a producer, as Mark Romanek completes the ring of fire with his emotionally-charged video. And if that weren't enough, Ozzy makes an appearance proving that anyone can fly high again with the right guidance and a bit of Calamine lotion!

In this episode, the dudes take it to the max and travel to LA's San Fernando Valley where they rock out to Frank Zappa's totally tubular 1982 hit "Valley Girl."  After stopping by Ridgemont high for their goat yoga class, they ponder the deeper question of "does art imitate life, or does life imitate Zappa?"  Join the boyz as they embark on what promises to be the most paused podcast in history.  Gnarly, dude!Songs:Reverb Syndicate - Better Dancing Through TechnologyFrank Zappa - Valley GirlFrank Zappa - The Jazz Discharge Party HatsSurvivor - Eye of the TigerSex-O-Rama - The Money ShotBridgette Bardot - Je t'aime...mon non plusDeep Purple - Smoke on the WaterThe Byrds - Turn, Turn, TurnDweezil Zappa - MontanaFrank Zappa - Ya HoznaTim Curry - Sweet TransvestiteBuffalo Tom - StaplesSex-O-Rama - The Money ShotBridgette Bardot - Je t'aime...mon non plus

In this episode Tom and Ty sit down for a late-night session and attempt to decipher the strangeness that is Styx's 1983 sci-fi classic, Mr. Roboto. With their beer goggles on, they prove that they are just men whose circumstances went beyond their control: Tom flees for Panama on a horse with no name on the run from those Damn Yankees while Ty searches for a heart of gold, only to discover his moonlight desires.

Parlez-vous français, y'all?  This week, join les garçons as they take a trip to Belgium where they rock out to Plastic Bertrand's unique 1978 hit (along with its evil English twin). Along the way, they examine the unlikely connections between punk and surf music, marvel at the wonder of the wah wah, and bring closure to a 50-year misunderstanding between two guitar legends.  As if that weren't enough, Tom finally becomes "experienced" and the boyz get into a complicated Ménage à trois with none other than Brigitte Bardot..or was it (gulp)...the Singing Nun?  No square heads allowed on this one, you cheeky monkeys!Songs:Plastic Bertrand -Ça plane pour moiThe Singing Nun - DominiqueBridgette Bardot - Je t'aime...mon non plusREM - It's the End of the World as We Know ItElton Motello - Jet Boy Jet GirlThe pUKES - Jet Boy Jet GirlMina Mercury - Jet Boy Jet GirlRamones - Sheena is a Punk RockerRamones - Rockaway BeachDick Dale - Mr. EliminatorLink Wray - RumbleLink Wray - Ace of SpadesCramps - Sunglasses After DarkDead Kennedys - Holiday in CambodiaJimi Hendrix Experience - Are You Experienced?Sex-O-Rama - The Money ShotDavid Bowie - Suffragette CityPete Drake - ForeverGrupo de Experimentación Sonora - Cuba va!

For this episode Tom gets on the rock'n'roll pulpit and preaches the TnT gospel as Ty removes water from the bottom of the ocean. As the boys dissect the Talking Heads classic Once in a Lifetime, they marvel at the genre-bending nature of this song which features one of the most iconic bass parts in music history, a 2-note stroke of genius. You may find yourself in an eastern Kentucky trailer, or you may find yourself freezing your ass off in Ottawa, you may ask yourself "how did I get here?"...but regardless of where you find yourself, join the lads for this once in a lifetime experience...same as it ever was!Songs:The Killjoys - Sick Of YouJon Spencer & The Hitmakers - Death RayTalking Heads - Once In A LifetimeTalking Heads - I ZimbraTalking Heads - Once In A Lifetime Bass StemBrian Eno & David Byrne - The Jezebel SpiritPolyrhythm Demonstration (Video)Talking Heads - Once In A Lifetime Vocals StemThe Velvet Underground - What Goes OnTalking Heads - Psycho KillerTalking Heads - Burning Down The HouseMarisa Monte (Featuring David Byrne) - Waters Of MarchT-Rex - Telegram SamGary Oldman - My WayTalking Heads - Don't Worry About The GovernmentParliament - Chocolate CityDown And Out In Beverley Hills TrailerKermit The Frog - Once In A LifetimeDavid Boon - Once In A LifetimeFront 242 - Hey PoorMartin Luther King Junior's Last Speech (Video)T.L.

In this episode Ty takes a break from teaching Tom to sing and focuses his efforts on world peace and harmony, with a lemon twist. As the boyz delve into the New Seeker's "I'd Like to Teach the World to Sing" made famous by Coca-Cola, they discuss the fine line between making a living in the music industry and selling out. In the process they question the legitimacy of a message delivered by your corporate sponsor and grapple with the deeper question of whether a harmony can exist without a melody. Grab yourself a cold one but stay away from the home brew cause there ain't nothing like the real thing!  Come and sing in perfect harmony...with TnT.Songs:Reverb Syndicate - Better Dancing Through TechnologyDolly Parton - 9 to 5New Seekers - I'd Like to Teach the World to SinHollies - Long Cool Woman in a Black DressDavid and Jonathan - Lovers of the World UniteFortunes - You've Got Your TroublesFortunes - Here Comes that Rainy Day Feeling AgainKinks - Lola (Coca-Cola version)Kinks - Lola (cherry cola version)Neil Young - Unknown LegendCaetano Veloso - Alegria AlegriaFeist - 1234Rush - YYZQueens of the Stone Age - MexicolaKathleen Edwards - Sweet Lil DuckTalking Heads - Love for SaleNeil Young and the Bluenotes - This Note's For You

In our first Listener's Pick edition of the podcast, the boys look into the remarkable success of Tubthumping by Anarcho-punk pranksters Chumbawamba. In the process they enter a spirited discussion of whether politics has any place in popular music and whether massive commercial success taints the revolutionary message.

In this special holiday edition of the podcast, David Bowie descends from Mars and gives a lesson on the true spirit of Christmas. Joining forces with Bing Crosby, the Ghost of Christmas Past himself, the two conjure up one of the most unlikely (and perhaps surreal) Christmas classics of all time. Along the way, the fellas are joined by special guests Mariah Carey, The Pogues, Mötorhead, The Kinks, Krampus and many others in this all-time holiday classic. The Grinch also makes a special appearance, taking aim at some Christmas turkeys from the past, including Paul McCartney's steaming yule log "Wonderful Christmastime".

In this episode, the skipper and Gilligan navigate the choppy waters surrounding the Wreck of the Edmund Fitzgerald and the rebirth of its memory as a #1 hit by Gordon Lightfoot in 1975. Bound for Detroit, they circumnavigate the dangerous currents associated with taking on historical events in song and film. They seem to be heading toward a safe port with the common Great Lakes experience shared by the US and Canada...until Ty steers the SS Unity  dangerously close to Niagara Falls.  Batten down the hatches...that's the wrath of the north wind you're feeling.Songs:Reverb Syndicate - Better Dancing Through TechnologyJoan Jett  - I Love Rock and RollMadonna - Dress You UpChilliwack - My Girl Dolly Parton - 9 to 5Gordon Lightfoot - Wreck of the Edmund FitzgeraldThe Pogues and the Dubliners - The Irish RoverStan Rogers - Mary Ellen CarterRod Stewart - Tonight's the NightElvis Presley - Early Morning RainGordon Lightfoot - SundownSufjan Stevens - Say Yes! to M!ch!gan!Simon and Garfunkel - Sounds of SilenceBill Cole - Ballad of Gilligan's IsleChime of Wrens - BillowBill Frisell - PipelineRobert Randolph - Ain't Nothing Wrong With ThatChicago Mass Choir - Take It to JesusRick Astley - Never Gonna Give You UpBoney M - RasputinBob Dylan - HurricaneMarvin Gaye - What's Going OnBooks:Michael Schumacher - Mighty Fitz: The Sinking of the Edmund FitzgeraldT.

In this episode, Tom and Ty unpack the runaway success of Blur's "Song 2", a ditty which far exceeded its humble beginnings in the 90s Britpop battle between Blur and Oasis. As they unravel this "joke song" that hit pay dirt, they discover a whole slew of these oddities that could almost be called a genre and marvel at the moments when record company execs turn out to be cooler than the hipsters. In the process they consider the power, vulnerability and identity embodied in one's voice.  Hop aboard and hang on...it's all a blur.

This week, TnT examine the phenomenon of the sleeper hit with Charlene's #3 (and #97) hit “I've Never Been to Me.”  On this journey to Nice and the Isle of Greece (sic), Tom and Ty analyze how a song that goes nowhere in one zeitgeist transforms into a number 3 hit in another.  Join the boys as they spend this episode exploring the "subtle whoring that costs too much to be free."  Hey Charlene…you may have been to paradise, but you've never been…to TnT.

Today, Ty throws Tom a grapefruit, who hits it out of Nostalgia Park... all the way to Scotland. Join the boyz as they delve into the mysteries of sibling harmonies, ponder the concept of self-plagiarism, and address questions of identity as they showcase musicians who boldly proclaimed, or downplayed, their heritage in song.

In this episode Tom and Ty tussle over the concept of music comedy and debate whether these odd bedfellows can co-exist peacefully.  During their examination of genre crossing, Tom callously forgets about a precious TnT moment and Ty breaks Tom's heart by declaring that the guitar is at an all-time low.  They reconcile over their shared belief that limitations can be overcome in spectacular ways.
