This week, Andrew and Dan get taken on a journey that begins in 1982 and then stumbles back through another decade and half of party rock, all so they can get to the heart of this ode to dirty magazines. Do the sexual politics of this song suck? You bet they do! Do we dig into that too much? Hopefully not! Also, Peter Wolf is hot!

Ever wondered what the Jackson 5 would sound like if they were white, Mormon, and all had the last name Osmond? You haven't? That's understandable! Unfortunately, this week Andrew and Dan have to solve that riddle for themselves as they revisit a forgotten hit from the early '70s. Join us!

1971 - "One Bad Apple" by The Osmonds

Back at the turn of the century, Monica was one of the biggest names in R&B, which is why it's no surprise that she managed to top the charts with a cover song from across the pond.

It's a little early to celebrate Father's Day, but the Fisher King don't care!

They mostly fail at this!

1954 - "Oh! My Papa (O Mein Papa)" by Eddie Fisher

What if you took the story of Romeo & Juliet, set it in rural east Texas, and made it deeply offensive to anyone who isn't a big fat white disc jockey? Well, in the year 1960, you'd have the recipe for a number one hit! Join Andrew and Dan this week as they re-examine this mostly forgotten relic that would, in all honesty, make a decent TV show theme.

1960 - "Running Bear" by Johnny Preston

This week, Andrew and Dan revisit the year of clubby pop hits and teenage dreams to discuss the debut single from an artist formerly known as Ke$ha.

There's no better way to usher in the new year than with a visit to ye olde club!

Make sure you've got your Apple Bottom jeans handy for this episode!

Warm yourself by the fire, children, and get toasty with our new friend Posty. He and his work acquaintance 21 Savage are going to tell us all about what it's like to be a rockstar in present-day America, where guitars are outlawed and being a rockstar really means doing raps and shooting a gun. It's confusing. But Andrew and Dan are here to help walk you through it. Happy Hanukkah!

2017 - "rockstar" by Post Malone ft. 21 Savage

Once again, the gods of fate bring Andrew and Dan back to the era of "And His Orchestra" to discuss what can only be described as a "nice" song. Also discussed, the film Cats, the logistics of a dummy piano, and the fact that Andrew is a sleepy little baby.
