Everybody Have Fun Tonight- Wang Chung Decomposition

Jan 12th, 2021 53m 26s

This is an iconic song with an iconic video. We didn't know the words to this song before sitting down to record this episode, but it feels like we picked a good one. Babylon? The edge of oblivion? Strong words?The song is excellent, and we a

Merry Christmas, Ya Filthy Animal!

Dec 25th, 2020 1h 51m

I would like to make this abundantly clear; what is about to get stuck in your head is entirely Natty Bumpercar's fault! Here are three animal-related Christmas songs. Ugh, that's all I got, go buy his bookAnd adopt his puppyhttps://www.amazon

Holiday Road- Lindsey Buckingham Decomposition

Dec 10th, 2020 1h 3m

Oh Lindsey, where do we even begin. He hardly even tried with this one, and now it is a decades-spanning Christmas classic. Easily the fewest lines per song we have ever discussed. Plus Barking!!He does some strange things, and makes strange

Banditos- The Refreshments Decomposition

Nov 30th, 2020 1h 12m

Teresa didn't do her homework. Katie gets saucey.This song sounds like 1996. If you listened to the radio in 96' then hopefully you remember this song. Or the chorus, at least. The Refreshments released Fizzy, Fuzzy, Big and Buzzy in 96, ha

Buffalo Stance- Neneh Cherry Decomposition

Nov 24th, 2020 1h 10m

Are you ready to party safely? Katie is! Brad is barely awake. But if you are ready for a safe party then turn on Buffalo Stance, do katie's new dance, and buckle up. Neneh Cherry is nothing if not an extremely versatile artist. And we lear

Yellow Ledbetter- Pearl Jam Decomposition

Nov 17th, 2020 1h 6m

This week we try something a little different. We each wrote out what we thought we heard when listening to the song "Yellow Ledbetter." It's an excellent song with famously mush-mouthed lyrics.Hannah and Carmine, wearing boxers, on the raysi

Holy Diver- Dio Decomposition

Apr 29th, 2020 1h 18m

Ronald James Padavona, AKA Ronnie James Dio, died a heavy metal legend in 2010. He left the world a great gift in the form of a little song called "Holy Diver," which feels like a parody of itself. AllMusic called Dio's work "unquestionably st

Radiation Vibe- A Decomposition Tribute to the Works of Adam Schlesinger

Apr 14th, 2020 58m 42s

Nerdy suburban kids need music too. Thankfully we had Adam Schlesinger. The message of many Fountains of Wayne songs was that even if things are terrible now we can still be optimistic and thankful for what we have.Katie cries.Its the best sp

We Are Young- fun. ft. Janelle Monae

Mar 30th, 2020 44m 12s

WE'RE BACK, BABY! And we are quarantined, and thus have time to occasionally record an episode for you guys. 2011 was huge for the band fun. Thats "fun period." This is a fun-period song, not a fun, period song.Also, Nate Ruess is history's

Digging In The Dirt- Peter Gabriel Decomposition

Oct 2nd, 2019 50m

PSYCHOLOGY!! This song is dark and sticky. And its really really really good. Brad has an idea about the scene, Katie decides whether or not it holds up.She also has no idea which songs are by Peter Gabriel and which songs are by Phil Collins

Daydream Believer- The Monkees Decomposition

Sep 18th, 2019 1h 21m

Katie had no idea what other song by the Monkees contained the word "Believer."First-time guest John Trumbull joins us in our new podcast studio/ murder basement. Spoiler alert: he doesn't get murdered. John has a lot of Monkee-love (hubba hubb

Call Me Maybe LIVE- Carly Rae Jepsen

Sep 4th, 2019 1h 8m

Well, it's happened. Brad has finally fully embraced his role as the villain of the podcast. And plenty of people got to watch it happen.Gawker described this song as "flawless," but somehow we were able to find flaws. This song was a super

Champagne Supernova Re-release

Aug 21st, 2019 59m 5s

VACATION, SUCKERS! Enjoy this classic (?) 'sode

Shut Up + Dance- Walk The Moon Decomposition

Aug 7th, 2019 38m 3s

Remembering the name of this band is difficult. It isn't Walk Off The Earth... they are a much better band. Walk The Moon wrote a song that has already been written by several other bands from the 80's.Why do white people love this song so m

Work It- Missy Elliot Decomposition

Jul 24th, 2019 1h 16m

Bees, Pubes, Elephant trumpets... all sorts of wiedness happening here. And yet, a lesser rapper couldn't pull it off. Thats why Missy Elliot is a gift.We hear about a new YouTube Channel "Sex Parts with Kate Nichols," so long as there isn't

Decomposition Interview: Chris Trapper

Jul 10th, 2019 1h 19m

This is a very special episode of Decomposition. Katie and Brad had the chance to interview one of their favorite songwriters around; Chris Trapper, front man for the band The Push Stars.We discuss the songwriting process, rubbing elbows with

Do You Believe In Love- Huey Lewis and the News Decomposition

Jun 26th, 2019 1h 17m

Patrick Bateman was correct, despite how you feel about his murderous rampage, about Huey Lewis and the News. This is one of Brad's favorite bands. Katie is on board, for the most part, but still finds them to be cheesy. Darin is way, way, W

Fight Song- Rachel Platten Decomposition

Jun 12th, 2019 53m 47s

Are you interested in ways to torture your loved ones? Well, Brad has a technique that you have to try. Rachel Platten wrote this song to convince herself that she still had a place in the music industry, and it quickly became an anthem for o

Ramble On- Led Zeppelin Decomposition

May 29th, 2019 59m 27s

Led Zeppelin; rock gods, right? They really were greater than the sum of their parts. Even with the addition of Robert Plant.This is a story-song. Is it a story? Who is the main character? Who is his girl? Is she a bluebird? Has it been

Re-release: Nothing's Gonna Stop Us Now- Starship

May 22nd, 2019 42m 25s

We are taking the week off. Why? Because we deserve it. So instead of some brand new content, why don't you re-live this classic episode from January of 2018?

Donna Summer- MacArthur Park Decomposition

May 15th, 2019 52m 50s

It is frequently considered one of the worst songs of all time. And yet we, as a people, shot this song up onto the charts 5 times since its composition in 1968. The most popular of which was released by Donna Summer as a 17 minute-long suite

REM- It's The End Of The World As We Know It (And I Feel Fine)

May 8th, 2019 1h 38m

This isn't your typical episode of Decomposition. This episode is more of a love letter to the band REM. Natty Bumpercar grew up in Macon, Georgia. He went to school at UGA in Athens. Thus, REM is a very important band to him. He has been

Styx- Mr. Roboto Decomposition

May 1st, 2019 1h

Dennis DeYoung is a crazy person. He created the concept album/ rock-opera "Kilroy Was Here," which was a half-baked idea that essentially caused Tommy Shaw to quit the band. It's easy to see why. This song and, likely the entire album, was
