Show notes

We're Baaaack!

The OG "There's a bathroom on the right."

Live performance by CCR

S2- Episode 12- Tribute to Sinead O'Connor Aug 02, 2023

Show notes

We're a bit rusty, melomaniacs. Have patience as we pay tribute to a beautiful soul, who always had something meaningful to say. We know what she meant by that and are better for it.

S2- E11- Proud Mary - Tina Turner (John Fogarty) Jun 07, 2023

Show notes

We lost an icon. Though Tina technically did this song with Ike, we like to pretend it's all her. For obvious (or maybe not obvious to everyone) reasons. She was a force to be reckoned with and this song and performance is a testament to that. Huge shout out to John Fogarty, though, who is the original writer of these words, an anthem for freedom and equality. Well done, John and Tina!

S2 - E10 - Joy to the World - Three Dog Night May 13, 2023

Show notes

You've sang the first 4 words of this song many times, with jubilation and passion as it goes into an uplifting anthem. But what in the world do they mean when they say, Jeremiah was a bullfrog? And a good friend at that? Hear how this song almost didn't get recorded, and how Three Dog Night came up with their absolutely adorable band name.

S2 - E9- A Tribute to Fiona Apple Apr 24, 2023

Show notes

Join us as Julia highlights the top 5 songs from Ms. Apple, picking one song from each of her albums. Find out why this is the one artist who's albums Julia would want on a deserted island. Good stuff, here! Also, another example of the amount of brain cells that clearly have died in Christine's brain.

S2- E8 - Chandelier - SIA Apr 05, 2023

Show notes

Again, Christine is out of the loop on this pop Queen! Why don't we see SIA's face? What's the deal with swinging from chandeliers? A party anthem or something more sinister? And who is this lucky lady who gets to be SIA's alter ego? Come find out!

S2-E7- I'm On Fire - Bruce Springsteen Mar 25, 2023

Show notes

The Boss can do no wrong. Baseball, apple pie, and Bruce Springsteen. He's just a normal guy pining away for a woman he can't have, so wholesome and relatable. Or is it? Is this song just cringey? Join us as we fall deep in a rabbit hole of sex, unrequited love, and who was the first woman to call her sexual partner, "Daddy," and why?

S2-E6 - You Can Call Me Al- Paul Simon Mar 16, 2023

Show notes

Ever wonder who's the ditzy one of the sisters? Listen to this one to get to the final conclusion that it is indeed....Christine. HUGE bathroom on the right in this one, and a deep dive by Julia on the making of this song, and the iconic album, Graceland. Also, why is Chevy Chase in the video? Really...why? We didn't touch on this fluke.

S2-E5 - Suzanne Vega - Trifecta! - Tom's Diner, Luka, Left of Center Mar 06, 2023

Show notes

***TRIGGER WARNING*** This episode discussing child abuse

In this episode, the sisters talk about all the songs! Suzanne Vega's simple lyrics are visual storytelling, saying what matters without saying anything, and letting us relate to narrators in a way we always hope for when listening to lyrics. She's a groundbreaking artist of the 80's that has left her mark in so many ways. Come see what we mean by that.
