Kiss From A Rose- Seal Decomposition
This song is probably about something. Or, to say the least, it feels like it should be about something. Seal has never expressly stated why he wrote the song, but he does say that the feeling of t…
Me and Decomposition Down By The Schoolyard; An Homage To The Work of Paul Simon
We have spent so much of our time discussing terrible songs. Some we love despite this, some are bad songs written by good artists, others are just straight up horrendous. But today is a special da…
How Bizarre- OMC Decomposition
Pauly Fuemana, the sometimes-ascot-wearing New Zealander/ Polynesian gang member, had a far more bizarre life than this song would have you believe. In fact, the story in the song is quite dull. Th…
Hungry Like the Wolf- Duran Duran Decomposition
We have all loved this song. We have all sung along to this song. We have all misunderstood the lyrics (aside from doo do doo do do do do...) Turns out, its quite misogynistic and VERY rapey. We …
Party Hard- Andrew W.K. Decomposition
Party, party, party, party, party, party, party, party, party, party, party, party, party, party, party, party, party, party, party, party, party, party, party, party, party, …
Ironic- Alanis Morissette Decomposition
"Ironic," was EVERYWHERE in 1996. You couldn't escape it. And it turned into Alanis Morissette's biggest hit to date. This song is challenging. Unless you're Alanis Morissette, she kinda just does…
Joyride- Roxette Decomposition
There's a lot happening in this song, and yet not so much at all. Plenty of Google Translate, nonsense lyrics, sugar-pigs...who knows. But the song, nontheless, is outstanding. This is a fun, wack…
99 Problems- Jay-Z Decomposition
This week we discuss a young, cocaine-dealing entrepreneur and the myriad bitch-related problems that he has.
WARNING This episode has more explicit language than usual. However, as it was relevant …
Jonas Bros.- Year 3000 Decomposition
Let's put it out there; The Jonas Brothers were designed to appeal to children, we get it. But their music is still pretty garbagey. Who is this Peter anyway? Is he a pervert, or a murderer, or a …
Tal Bachman- She's So High Decomposition
History, myth, religion, ancient aliens, and the perfect child-murder scenario. This episode really has it all! Starting our second year, we talk about the song that inspired us to do this podcast …
A Real-Time Reaction to an Unreleased Smash Mouth Song
Roll it!
Steve Harwell seems like an angry man. We kinda hope he starts a twitter feud with us. Denis had no idea what was coming walking into with this one, so we had the unique pleasure of introd…
Weezer; The Good, The Bad, and The Ugly part 3: the Ugly
Teresa has no fun...none, whatsoever. She is angry, she resents this, she hates every single minute, and it is awkwardly apparent. She also, as the episode progresses, realizes that she doesn't kno…
Weezer; The Good, The Bad, and The Ugly part 2: The Bad
It is our one-year anniversary. So we invited Decomposition favorites, Teresa and Josh, to help us kill our heroes, Weezer. We each have chosen a particular Weezer song and decompose what it is tha…
Weezer; The Good, The Bad, and The Ugly part 1: The Good
It is our one-year anniversary. So we invited Decomposition favorites, Teresa and Josh, to help us kill our heroes, Weezer. We each have chosen a particular Weezer song and decompose what it is tha…
EPISODE 50: Patrick Flynn, The Billy Joel Apologist
50th Episode Special:
We were lucky enough to have an awesome, recorded conversation with Patrick Flynn (The Original Cast) about Billy Joel. Brad is not a fan. Patrick is a huge fan. Katie has no…
Omigod You Guys- Legally Blonde The Musical Decomposition
Katie and Chris are musical theater nerds. Katie also loves the movie "Legally Blonde." As it turns out, these two things do not work together. Chris is the only one of us who has actually seen th…
Nothing's Gonna Stop Us Now- Starship Decomposition
Brad pulls a bit of a bait-and-switch on Katie this week. She loves this song and declares it "a perfect song from a perfect movie." She is, however, on a lot of drugs. Rhymes? Who needs 'em? Gra…
Whoomp Vs. Whoot (There It Is)- Tag Team/ 95 South Decomposition
This episode is hopefully more entertaining to listen to than it was to research. Katie loves both of these songs, despite not knowing that they were, in fact, two different songs. 95 South wrote i…
Brave- Sara Bareilles Decomposition
Katie HATES Sara Bareilles. It is an irrational hatred that she struggles to explain. She feels sorry about that...and she feels GREAT when she can find even the most basic of justification. Meanw…
Making Love Out Of Nothing At All- Air Supply
Matt and Brad grew up in a household where Air Supply's Greatest Hits was constantly playing. Over the years they have kept that very cassette tape in working order. Matt stole it from their mother…
