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. Find out which non-comedian/ non-Green Lantern wrote this song.Axl Rose stole his moves from Davy Jones.Also, the Indigo Girls are a good band, but you may not be able to stay awake during their concert.This is 3/4 of a good song, but we need more.  Now you know how funky it can be.Email:DecompositionPod@gmail.comTwitter:@TrumbullComic@SNLNerdsShow@Decomp_PodiTunes:SNL Nerds: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/snl-nerds/id1441967007Decomposition: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/decomposition-podcast/id1214062072

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?
