Decomposition Podcast

It has been a hell of a year for us here at Decomposition Podcast, and we've saved the worst for last. NewSong may or may not have been inspired by an actual story when they wrote the song "The Chri…

Katie was a big No Doubt fan back in the day. This year, for Christmas, Gwen Stefani released her own terrible, terrible album of Christmas tunes. "You Make It Feel Like Christmas," didn't (or has…

A Christmas-charity song that helped raise money for famine relief in Ethiopia...who knew this would be such a grim tune? At the time it was the UK's biggest selling single. A collection of popular…

Fellow Mountaineer Luke Combs (aka Redneck Shrek) has exploded this year on the country music scene. He should have finished out his last day at school, perhaps he would have learned what the saying…

Keith Urban's almost-two-week-old hit "Female," is a misstep. He tried to do something constructive in the wake of the Harvey Weinstein scandal and just ended up recording a song that would have ben…

Shifty, Epic, Epique, DJ AM, the Drummer...These guys were riddled with problems. The least of which was their ubiquitous, massive hit single. Insects or incest? Little Lolita and Lollipop Porn. …

What was it that Dave Matthews did? Anybody? This song was the beginning of the end of rock superstardom for the Dave Matthews Band. They hired a producer who they thought could sell albums. Unfor…

The emotional scars of this song run deep. Katie saw approximately 10 minutes of one of the A Nightmare on Elm Street movies and, to this day, is haunted by the thoughts of a guy named Fred who "wea…

Saved By the Bell was, and is, a cultural phenomenon. California Dreams was not. And yet, it still somehow wiggled the theme song into our collective consciousness for the next several decades. Wh…

Doctor 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 ow…

Zappin 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…

Denis 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 rad…

Does 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 …

Dr. 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 mi…

Jiggle, wiggle, boogie, woogie, oogie and dance. This is a mantra, as told by Armando Perez, better known as Pitbull...Mr. 305, Mr. Worldwide. Superfan (of Pitbull) Donald helps us break down the l…

For Labor Day we welcome 2 Decomposition all-stars, Teresa and Josh, to try to talk Katie down. As an English professor and Shakespeare buff she tends to get fired up when students don't finish the …

Starting 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 play…

Bizarro 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 fuel…

People 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 singi…
