This week we review the final parody on In 3-D; the Survivor "Eye of the Tiger" parody that doubles as a Rocky parody .... Theme From Rocky XIII (Rye or the Kaiser). It's not an often discussed parody but maybe it should be!

That Boy Could Dance Sep 02, 2022

Show notes

One of the stranger songs on In 3-D is this original song about a man who loves dancing. It's not a specific style parody but it feels like it could have been part of the Footloose soundtrack; only it basically pre-dates the dance movie craze of the mid-80s! How do the Matt's feel about it? Listen and find out!!

Polkas on 45 Aug 12, 2022

Show notes

I can't believe it took 20 episodes to get to our first Polka!

But finally we are discussing a Polka on the podcast! Smack in the middle of In 3-D is a track that started a tradition on practically every album that came out after this.

Also if you haven't jumped on the TIkTok trend yet .... Teenage Dirtbag is being used as a TikTok right now and you should film something on your TikTok for it!!

I Lost on Jeopardy (w/Jeff Nucera) Aug 05, 2022

Show notes

This week we are joined by Jeff Nucera who has arguably more Al-cred than any other human on the planet. After Jeff gives us a rundown of his qualifications we start to discuss Al's amazing parody of Greg Kihn Band's Jeopardy. This is one of Jeff's favorite al songs and with very good reason! Hopefully its one of your favorites as well.

Buy Me a Condo Jul 29, 2022

Show notes

In one of Al's strangest songs he blends the sounds of Reggae with niche Yuppie culture. While it's funny we can't help but debate if the satire still comes off as appropriation.
