Everybody Have Fun Tonight- Wang Chung Decomposition
Decomposition Podcast - January 12, 2021 05:00 - 53 minutes ★★★★★ - 55 ratingsThis 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 ar...

Holiday Road- Lindsey Buckingham Decomposition
Decomposition Podcast - December 10, 2020 05:00 - 1 hour ★★★★★ - 55 ratingsOh 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 ge...
Banditos- The Refreshments Decomposition
Decomposition Podcast - November 30, 2020 05:00 - 1 hour ★★★★★ - 55 ratingsTeresa 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 dis...
Buffalo Stance- Neneh Cherry Decomposition
Decomposition Podcast - November 24, 2020 05:00 - 1 hour ★★★★★ - 55 ratingsAre 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 fa...
Yellow Ledbetter- Pearl Jam Decomposition
Decomposition Podcast - November 17, 2020 05:00 - 1 hour ★★★★★ - 55 ratingsThis 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 w...
Holy Diver- Dio Decomposition
Decomposition Podcast - April 29, 2020 04:00 - 1 hour ★★★★★ - 55 ratingsRonald 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 "f...
Radiation Vibe- A Decomposition Tribute to the Works of Adam Schlesinger
Decomposition Podcast - April 14, 2020 04:00 - 58 minutes ★★★★★ - 55 ratingsNerdy 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 ever Thanks for all you gave us, Ada...
We Are Young- fun. ft. Janelle Monae
Decomposition Podcast - March 30, 2020 19:31 - 44 minutes ★★★★★ - 55 ratingsWE'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 A...
Digging In The Dirt- Peter Gabriel Decomposition
Decomposition Podcast - October 02, 2019 04:00 - 50 minutes ★★★★★ - 55 ratingsPSYCHOLOGY!! 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.
Daydream Believer- The Monkees Decomposition
Decomposition Podcast - September 18, 2019 04:00 - 1 hour ★★★★★ - 55 ratingsKatie 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...
Call Me Maybe LIVE- Carly Rae Jepsen
Decomposition Podcast - September 04, 2019 04:00 - 1 hour ★★★★★ - 55 ratingsWell, 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...
Champagne Supernova Re-release
Decomposition Podcast - August 21, 2019 04:00 - 59 minutes ★★★★★ - 55 ratingsVACATION, SUCKERS! Enjoy this classic (?) 'sode
Shut Up + Dance- Walk The Moon Decomposition
Decomposition Podcast - August 07, 2019 04:00 - 38 minutes ★★★★★ - 55 ratingsRemembering 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 inv...
Work It- Missy Elliot Decomposition
Decomposition Podcast - July 24, 2019 04:00 - 1 hour ★★★★★ - 55 ratingsBees, 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...
Decomposition Interview: Chris Trapper
Decomposition Podcast - July 10, 2019 04:00 - 1 hour ★★★★★ - 55 ratingsThis is a very special episode of Decomposition.

Do You Believe In Love- Huey Lewis and the News Decomposition
Decomposition Podcast - June 26, 2019 04:00 - 1 hour ★★★★★ - 55 ratingsPatrick 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 t...
Fight Song- Rachel Platten Decomposition
Decomposition Podcast - June 12, 2019 04:00 - 53 minutes ★★★★★ - 55 ratingsAre 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 punch...
Ramble On- Led Zeppelin Decomposition
Decomposition Podcast - May 29, 2019 04:00 - 59 minutes ★★★★★ - 55 ratingsLed 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 day...
Re-release: Nothing's Gonna Stop Us Now- Starship
Decomposition Podcast - May 22, 2019 04:00 - 42 minutes ★★★★★ - 55 ratingsWe 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?
Donna Summer- MacArthur Park Decomposition
Decomposition Podcast - May 15, 2019 04:00 - 52 minutes ★★★★★ - 55 ratingsIt 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 th...
REM- It's The End Of The World As We Know It (And I Feel Fine)
Decomposition Podcast - May 08, 2019 04:00 - 1 hour ★★★★★ - 55 ratingsThis 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, Mi...
Styx- Mr. Roboto Decomposition
Decomposition Podcast - May 01, 2019 04:00 - 1 hour ★★★★★ - 55 ratingsDennis 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/ B...
Mr. Big- To Be With You Decomposition
Decomposition Podcast - April 24, 2019 04:00 - 54 minutes ★★★★★ - 55 ratingsThis 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.

Lump- Presidents of The United States of America Decomposition
Decomposition Podcast - April 10, 2019 04:00 - 39 minutes ★★★★★ - 55 ratingsThis 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!!

You Were Meant For Me- Jewel Decomposition
Decomposition Podcast - April 03, 2019 04:00 - 1 hour ★★★★★ - 55 ratingsJewel'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...
Build-a-Band Operation Switcheroo
