Back Up Off Me!- Doctor Dre and Ed Lover (f. T-Money) Decomposition
Decomposition Podcast - October 16, 2017 04:00 - 50 minutes ★★★★★ - 55 ratingsDoctor Dre (not Dr. Dre) and Ed Lover are living legends. They helped bring hip-hop to the masses as hosts of Yo! Mtv Raps. They worked with Run DMC and the Beastie Boys before putting out their own album. It did not do well. However, the title track is a remarkable amount of fun. Cobbled t...
Electric Youth- Debbie Gibson Decomposition
Decomposition Podcast - October 09, 2017 04:02 - 56 minutes ★★★★★ - 55 ratingsZappin it to ya'. Castle sets, Mary-Kate and/or Ashley, power-mullet face dancer. This song really thinks its saying something. Spoiler, it isn't. It is, however a ton of fun. Loads of gibberish in too-long of a song, and Debbie Gibson may have been super-high. And she shared a songwriting...
Rock and Roll Dreams Come Through- Meat Loaf/ Jim Steinman Decomposition
Decomposition Podcast - October 02, 2017 04:00 - 1 hour ★★★★★ - 55 ratingsDenis is Back(ermann) to try, and oh, how we try, to make sense of this needlessly-epic "masterpiece." Honestly, the words are dumb...what with the inclusions of golden nuggets, listening to the radio strong, treasuring love, angels having guitars before they have wings and, of course, putting ...
Actors Gone Rogue: Party All The Time- Eddie Murphy
Decomposition Podcast - September 25, 2017 04:00 - 45 minutes ★★★★★ - 55 ratingsDoes this song deserve the Grammy for "Best Song Ever?" Jarrell certainly thinks so. Eddie Murphy struck it big at a remarkably young age, as a result he put out an album which featured, according to various publications, one of the worst singles ever, with a little help from Rick James. Evid...
Decomposition: Why Don't You Get a Job- The Offspring
Decomposition Podcast - September 18, 2017 04:00 - 53 minutes ★★★★★ - 55 ratingsDr. Dexter and Noodles (Noodz) are too old to be doing this. Ripping off the Beatles, who ripped off someone else, in the laziest way possible. They also lazily try to prove themselves not to be misogynists. Plus, Katie apologizes to her mother, but not for screaming out bad words from other ...
Decomposition: Fireball- Pitbull (feat. John Ryan)
Decomposition Podcast - September 11, 2017 04:00 - 49 minutes ★★★★★ - 55 ratingsJiggle, wiggle, boogie, woogie, oogie and dance.

Pitbull/ Playboy branded underwear, his own vo...
Decomposition: Love Story - Taylor Swift
Decomposition Podcast - September 04, 2017 04:26 - 1 hour ★★★★★ - 55 ratingsFor Labor Day we welcome 2 Decomposition all-stars, Teresa and Josh, to try to talk Katie down.

Spoiler; she's the only one of the 4 of us that has read the play. ...
Decomposition: Got the Life- Korn
Decomposition Podcast - August 28, 2017 04:07 - 49 minutes ★★★★★ - 55 ratingsStarting off strong this week with serious confusion about where we can find the actual lyrics. Then we dive deep into our Korn-spot and discuss how great a nu-metal monkey band would be. Bass playing, not bass playing. Playing guitar vs. playing guitar pedals. Getting our boogie on and more...
Decomposition: You Get What You Give- The New Radicals
Decomposition Podcast - August 21, 2017 04:42 - 50 minutes ★★★★★ - 55 ratingsBizarro noises, 14 year-olds down on their knees, wanton destruction...and a political message, I guess(?). Were these guys a band? We also get into Gregg Alexanders motivation, which is mostly fueled by jealousy over other musicians fame. Its not that bad, but it IS that trite.
Actors Gone Rogue: How Do You Talk to an Angel- The Heights (f. Jamie Walters)
Decomposition Podcast - August 14, 2017 04:27 - 40 minutes ★★★★★ - 55 ratingsPeople probably remember Jamie Walters more for his role on 90210, but whether or not they realize it, they know him more for his 92 hit from the fake-band from the real show The Heights. His singing is exhausting to impersonate. They may not actually know any real characteristics of angels. ...
Decomposition: Summer Girls- LFO
Decomposition Podcast - August 07, 2017 04:52 - 53 minutes ★★★★★ - 55 ratingsThere is so, so much going on in this week's episode. Pop rocks, Cherry Pez, Boogaloo Shrimp, Mister Limpet, B-ball style and...sawnetts...Were the douche-boys of LFO cut from the same cloth as Samuel Beckett? Probably not, but maybe. Also, dude's name is Rich. Strap in and enjoy the nonsense.
Decomposition: Rock You Like a Hurricane- Scorpions
Decomposition Podcast - July 31, 2017 04:42 - 37 minutes ★★★★★ - 55 ratingsC'mon, c'mon, c'mon babaaaaaayyy!!! Sex...this is about sex. But does "rock," really mean bang? Or are Scorpions giving you the business until its time to get on stage? Did great literary works inspire this song? Also, Brad suspects these guys are Furries, since before Furries were an actual ...
Decomposition: Little Things- Bush
Decomposition Podcast - July 24, 2017 04:03 - 43 minutes ★★★★★ - 55 ratingsJosh joins us once again to run through the nonsensical(or ARE they?) lyrics of "Little Things." Katie assumes that everything she doesn't understand must be drug slang. And we get into the dietary habits and pseudo-cannibalism of Gavin Rossdale. This is a song we like off of an album we all ...
Decomposition: Absolutely (Story of a Girl)- Nine Days
Decomposition Podcast - July 17, 2017 04:16 - 41 minutes ★★★★★ - 55 ratingsThis is definitely NOT a story...nor is it really about a girl. I mean, the girl is a character, but its not her story....or a story at all. Its so poorly written that it can hardly be considered written at all. Unrelated, Brad ultimately never notices how frequently he uses the word "absolut...
Decomposition: All I Want to Do is Make Love to You- Heart
Decomposition Podcast - July 10, 2017 04:05 - 49 minutes ★★★★★ - 55 ratingsKatie gets straight up uncomfortable. Is "walk through the garden," a worse phrase than "make love?" Were Ann & Nancy Wilson the J.P. Morgans of Sperm Banking? How many orgasms did she have with this anonymous partner? And, of course, is the narrator just ot of her GD mind? Happy Anniversar...
Decomposition: I'm Not a Girl, Not Yet a Woman- Britney Spears
Decomposition Podcast - July 03, 2017 04:42 - 37 minutes ★★★★★ - 55 ratingsThis song is supposed to be deep...we think. featured on the album "Britney," instead of the Crossroads soundtrack, which was never released even though it starred a singer ... I'm bored with this song already... Plus, Brad starts baiting middle-schoolers into a fight, good times!
Decomposition: Follow Me- Uncle Kracker
Decomposition Podcast - June 26, 2017 04:32 - 36 minutes ★★★★★ - 55 ratingsDoes Uncle Kracker rank on the Top 20 shittiest people ever list? Is "Follow Me," worse than "Smile?" WTF is rap/rock/country? And, of course, we ask "Who's Your Uncle?" Join us for what is perhaps the height of douchebaggery as we hyper-analyze "Follow Me."
Decomposition: Only My Heart Talkin- Alice Cooper
Decomposition Podcast - June 19, 2017 04:04 - 36 minutes ★★★★★ - 55 ratingsOh, Alice Cooper...you wanted so bad to have a hit power ballad. there's a lot of lyrical drivel to roll through. Can you hear me knockin? How many tears? How much is too much eyeliner? AND FULL BLOWN STEVEN TYLER...good god, I love this song.
Decomposition: Fancy- Iggy Azalea
Decomposition Podcast - June 12, 2017 04:27 - 40 minutes ★★★★★ - 55 ratingsFancy? Gaudy? Trashy? Is it sung by a prostitute? Do hotel rooms still have chandeliers? Who is Charlie XCX? Cup of ace? So many questions, but just one difinitive answer...garbage, nonsense music.
Decomposition: One Week- Barenaked Ladies
Decomposition Podcast - June 05, 2017 04:02 - 39 minutes ★★★★★ - 55 ratings1998 introduced the world to Canada's Barenaked Ladies.

Decomposition Podcast - May 22, 2017 04:00 - 49 minutes ★★★★★ - 55 ratingsThis week we welcome friend and Rush super-fan Chris to our home in order to fight about Rush.

Decomposition: Human- The Killers
Decomposition Podcast - May 16, 2017 23:20 - 33 minutes ★★★★★ - 55 ratingsWhat is this song about? Turns out, not a god-damned thing. What does Hunter S. Thompson have to do with this? White tigers? Feather jackets? Lady vaginas? This song is a mess start to finish...a sad, sad mess
Decomposition: Bang Bang- Jessie J f. Ariana Grande & Nicki Minaj
Decomposition Podcast - May 08, 2017 03:08 - 40 minutes ★★★★★ - 55 ratingsThis week we decompose the 2014 hit "Bang, Bang." What does Jessie J think this song is about? What does "Dippin' in the pot of blue photo," mean? Is this song any good? Why are 3 men writing a song about ladies (or girls if you're REAL dirty) Bang Bangin' all over you? It gets gross, every...
Decomposition: I Want You- Savage Garden
Decomposition Podcast - May 01, 2017 00:00 - 39 minutes ★★★★★ - 55 ratingsChick-a-cherry-cola. Human cannonball. Deep sea diver with a raincoat.
