Episodes
"Here It Goes Again" by OK Go (f/ David Shockley)
January 26, 2022 21:52 - 47 minutesFew bands have ever been helped more by a music video than OK Go. They had faith in their own music when their record label didn’t, and they took advantage of internet virality to launch their career. Unique, eye-catching videos continue to be their thing, but the choreographed treadmill routine of “Here It Goes Again” will forever be the legacy of the band among people who only know them in passing. Is it worth going the extra mile to listen to more of their music though? Tune in to find out...
"Lucas with the Lid Off" by Lucas (f/Tony Hartman)
January 19, 2022 22:23 - 44 minutes1994 was a landmark year for both music and film. Somewhere in that whirlwind of Dookie and the Shawshank Redemption, the Downward Spiral and Forrest Gump, and The Blue Album and Pulp Fiction was LUCAS. No, not the 1986 Corey Haim movie…we’re talking about the Danish rapper Lucas, and his single “Lucas With The Lid Off”. The song was in regular rotation on MTV, thanks partly to a Michel Gondry directed music video. This week, Tony Hartman returns to the show to discuss this jazz rap / electro...
"King of Wishful Thinking" by Go West
January 12, 2022 21:41 - 32 minutesWe let the members of our new Patreon page vote for an episode, and they overwhelmingly chose Go West’s song “King of Wishful Thinking” from the Pretty Woman soundtrack. Did we listen to the talk of the town, or were we just trying to fool ourselves when it comes to one of the MOST adult contemporary songs ever? Tune in to hear us break down this simultaneously happy and heart-wrenching (emphasis on the WRENCH) pop jam. If you like the show, be sure to rate, review, and subscribe. Email us at...
"Cumbersome" by Seven Mary Three (f/Trevor Leonard)
January 05, 2022 22:04 - 53 minutesWhen you Google the adjective “Cumbersome”, the first thing that comes up is the definition of the word, which is “large or heavy and therefore difficult to carry or use”. The second thing that comes up, however, is a giant YouTube thumbnail image of Seven Mary Three leader singer Jason Ross. Most people, in fact, instantly think of this 1996 modern rock single any time they hear the word, and this week’s guest Trevor Leonard is no exception. Are Seven Mary Three too heavy, too light, too bla...
"Take On Me" by A-ha
December 29, 2021 22:13 - 32 minutesIt took 100 episodes, but we’re FINALLY talking about the greatest one-hit wonder of the 80s…A-ha’s “Take On Me”! But does it even COUNT as a one-hit wonder? Producer Matt Kelly explains why it’s a bit of a gray area when it comes to A-ha. If you like the show, be sure to rate, review, and subscribe. Email us at [email protected].

"Mother" by Danzig (w/Jim Logrando)
December 15, 2021 21:58 - 47 minutesThis week, we are joined once again by Jim Logrando to talk about Danzig’s only mainstream hit “Mother”. It took 5 years from the song’s original release for it to climb the charts, but it left an unforgettable impression. Almost three decades later, it’s still Danzig’s signature song.

"Crazy" by Gnarls Barkley (w/Katie Elsasser)
December 08, 2021 21:15 - 43 minutesThis week, we are joined by Geekscape’s own Katie Elsaesser to discuss Gnarls Barkley’s 2006 megahit “Crazy”. With not much more than a spaghetti western soundtrack sample and some off-the-cuff vocals, the collaboration of CeeLo Green and Danger Mouse found themselves at the top of the charts. There was something so pleasant about that place, but unfortunately, Gnarls Barkely were crazy to think that they’d ever reach those heights again.

"Candy Rain" by Soul For Real
November 24, 2021 21:31 - 40 minutesThis week on the show, Chris accomplishes the near-impossible by choosing a song that Matt has never heard: the R&B masterpiece “Candy Rain” by Soul For Real. It took 8 different writers to create this monster jam, which may have been a small piece of why this band of brothers was never able to match the success of their iconic hit single.

"Chariots of Fire" by Vangelis (f/Jeff Wendle)
November 17, 2021 21:33 - 34 minutesThis week, Jeff Wendle sits in for our first episode ever about an INSTRUMENTAL one hit wonder. Greek composer Vangelis hit the top of the charts with the theme from the 1981 film “Chariots of Fire”, unseating Joan Jett from the #1 spot and becoming a staple of running montages for decades to come. Regardless of knowing the title of the song, EVERYONE knows it…but is it deserving of such high praise? That’s what we try to figure out this week.

"96 Tears" by ? and the Mysterians (f/Johnny Neutrino)
October 13, 2021 21:05 - 27 minutesIn the 60's a group of teenagers recorded the song 96 Tears and indirectly became the godfathers of Punk Rock. With a hypnotic organ and sexually charged lyrics the band ? and the Mysterians created a sound the 60's was not ready for. They also left an impression on this week's guest Johnny Neutrino of the Supervillian Rock Group Johnny Neutrino and the Order of the Crawling Hand.
