Punch Up The Jam
Andrew & Evan get scientific help from Shelby and EJ to philosophically probe Bruno Mars’ “Lazy Song,” asking: if you have the laziest day in the history of days, didn’t that, well, probably require some great amount of planning and effort on that part? And don’t you get additional marks off if you even thought about doing P90X, or any other thing from the year 2011? Guests: Shelby Wolstein and EJ Marcus of Keeping Records podcast. Walk-in music: 'I'll Get Along' by Michael Kiwanuka; 'Over The Rainbow' by Israel Kamakawiwoʻole; 'Door' by Caroline Polchek; 'The Way' by Clay Aiken.

Evan & Andrew are joined by Ena Da to discuss the detestable but also detestably catchy song Sugar. There are just so many problems. Not least, how do we understand "sugar" and "red velvet" in light of recent illuminations of Adam Levine's idea of romance? More fundamentally, is Maroon 5 even still a band? Or just five guys cosplaying as a rock band while they sing along to Mike Posner studio tracks? And why are they giving themselves out as wedding presents to unsuspecting Los Angelenos? You can watch the video version of this episode HERE! Guest: Ena Da Walk-in music: 'The Door' by George Jones; 'Sugar Sugar' by Wilson Pickett; 'Take On Me' by A'ha.

Is Brandy getting played?? Is she in denial? And is this song yacht rock about old-timey pirates or a sea shanty about yacht rockers? One thing is for sure: issa bop. Andrew & Evan are joined by Jon Gabrus (Corked, Action Boyz, 101 Places to Party Before You Die) to break it down and punch it up. They discover why Jon wants to have his neck snapped, how to have sexual intercourse with the whole ocean, and exacerbate the long-running New Jersey / Long Island music feud. Guest: Jon Gabrus. Listen to him on Headgum's new miniseries Corked. Walk-in music: ‘Who Is She 2 U’ by Brandy; ’The First Time Ever I Saw Your Face’ by Roberta Flack; ‘Princes of the Universe’ by Queen.

Punch Up The Jam has been nominated for Best Music Podcast in The People's Choice Podcast Awards! You can vote by "saving your nomination" after you sign up here. Voting closes Sunday, July 31st, so vote while you can! Evan is joined by Rachel Green and Kirsten O’Brien of Boss Bitches to settle the question at the heart of most modern utilitarian philosophy: If a song is the perfect song for Zumba, can it also be a terrible song? And if it WAS a terrible song, would J. Lo pull a lever to change the course of a trolley hurtling towards Marc Anthony and instead kill his other ex-wives who were standing on an adjacent track? Guest: Rachel Green and Kirsten O'Brien of the Boss Bitch show. Walk-in Music: 'He-Man: Opening Theme'; 'So What' by P!nk; 'Industry Baby' by Lil Nas X.

Punch Up The Jam
Have you ever felt like you were the only lonely person walking down a boulevard? Well we've got news for you. You're not alone. 90% of all humans have felt like they're the only one who can understand themselves before their brain finishes developing at age 25. Evan, Andrew, and Joanna Hausmann dive in to what makes Green Day the perfect band for the adolescent mind, why Boulevard of Broken Dreams is the musical equivalent of dogs playing poker, and if Green Day have sold out or not. Guest: Joanna Hausmann You can now watch the video version of this episode HERE! Walk-in music: ‘Good’ by Better Than Ezra; ‘Sweet Melissa’ by The Allman Brothers; ‘Toxic’ by Britney Spears.

Pharrell originally pitched this song to Prince, and we can confidently say, we’re glad Prince said no! This song rules! Makes you think, maybe Prince should have said no to more things! Negin Farsad returns to the pod bringing some personal history with this Pharrell feat. Jay-Z classic, and frankly more personal history than we needed as she recounts some shocking schoolyard taunts. Evan spends way too much time talking about cupping melons in the grocery store, and eventually punches Frontin up to much applause. Guest: Negin Farsad (Fake The Nation, Birdgirl) Walk-in music: 'Rock Your Body' by Justin Timberlake; 'Boasty' by Wiley (Ft.

If you learn one thing from this song, it's that when anything goes wrong in your life, you simply must accuse others of being rude. How RUDE! You asked me to put a shirt on in the DMV?? Rude!! This is a huge hit that is completely upside down in its assessment of who exactly is being rude. Evan & Andrew are assisted in uprighting this song by prominent manners experts and comedy band The Wolves Of Glendale. An unassailable punch up is delivered. Important side discussions on the bad movie Hider In The House, Sebastian the Crab, and the Dixie Chicks air travel. Guests: Tom McGovern, Ethan Edenburg, and Eric "Juicy for Busey" Jackowitz of Wolves of Glendale. Walk-in music: ‘Many Rivers to Cross' by Jimmy Cliff; '(I Just) Died in Your Arms' by Cutting Crew.

You want it...that way? WHAT WAY?!? Evan and Andrew are joined by Backstreet Boys' superfans Jack Douglass and Erin Breslin to get to the bottom of WHAT WAY the Backstreet Boys so desperately wanted, while also wanting so desperately for their fire, their one desire, to NOT also want even as they were wanting it. Wow. Along the way, our gang also discusses the songs most entangled by their relationships with direct objects, the Susquehanna River, and the crimes of Lou Pearlman.Walk-in Music: 'Hey Leonardo (She Likes Me For Me)' by Blessid Union of Souls; 'Graduation' by Vitamin C.Listen to Erin is the Funny One here:https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/erin-is-the-funny-one/id1573945920Follow Punch Up The Jam on Twitter and InstagramBecome a Patron on PatreonLike the show?

Can a song be TOO catchy? Can a song be improved by making it WORSE, unlike what we do every other week, which is making every song better? Can a song be so good that it drags its singer into a black-holey whirlpool of one-hit-wonderdom? Well, the answer to all of these questions is YES, specifically because of Iyaz’s 2009 banger “Replay.” Evan, Andrew, & Phil Jamesson brainstorm ways to improve it simply by making it worse while also shop talking about YouTube, the Ocean State Job Lot, Waldenbooks, and whether pirating Independence Day could land you in jail. Guest: Phil Jamesson You can now watch the video version of this episode HERE! Walk-in music: ‘Rude’ by Iyaz; ‘Bad Habit’ by Steve Lacy; ‘Enter Sandman’ by Metallica.

You know that feeling when you wanna say something really respectful, that recognizes someone’s personhood and beauty both inner and outer? Akon had that feeling, and it ended badly. Andrew and Evan bring in Actual Music Podcaster Justin Richmond to help figure out this completely insane song, and on their journey they find similarities to Point Break, suspiciously strong similarities to this one 80s hit, and similarities to how your history paper turns out when you try to do it all in one night. Guest: Justin RichmondWalk-in music: 'Ode to Joy (Banjo)' by Carter Burwell from the Raising Arizona ending credits; 'Hit 'Em Up' by 2Pac; 'Big Sur' by The ThrillsListen to Justin's podcast, Broken Record, on PushkinFollow Punch Up The Jam on Twitter and InstagramBecome a Patron on PatreonLike the show?

🎶I'd like to be🎶....punching up a song from the Fab Four! A scary prospect! And that's even before you get the tentacles involved. Obviously fans of the pod have been begging for a Beatles punch up for ages and we've just been too intimidated until now, tiptoeing through Lennon & McCartney solo work as prelude. But today WE'VE DONE IT. With the intrepid help of Beatlemaniac and Professional Reviewer Reilly Anspaugh, we got to the bottom of this song and the bottom of the ocean. Extensive non-maritime sidebars on cave geology, Evan's all-too-brief marimba career, and things a squirrel can do to a hollow log.Guest: Reilly Anspaugh of Headgum's Review Revue. Walk-in music: ‘Act Naturally' by Buck Owens; SpongeBob SquarePants Theme Song; 'Honky Cat' by Elton John.Follow Punch Up The Jam on Twitter and InstagramGet the punch-ups for yourself and support the show on PatreonLike the show?

Punch Up The Jam
It's the hit of the century! It sounds like it's from the 1980s and the 2080s at the same time! Everyone and their pet alien loves this song, and that's why, to punch it up, we knew we had to enlist the help of Connor Ratliff, a legend in the podcastiverse for his dedication to dissecting utter minutiae. And Connor did not disappoint, at one point obsessing over the syllables in a single measure to the point that Evan yelled "YOU HAVE GASLIT YOURSELF!" Our intrepid astronauts veer across the Milky Way and discover connections from Dua Lipa's Levitating to Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, Jon Ossoff, and beer-brewing Trappist monks. Guest: Connor Ratliff Walk-in music: 'I Drink Beer' by Dan Reeder; 'Got To Give It Up' by Marvin Gaye; 'Pumped Up Kicks' by Foster The People.

Grudgingly yet proudly acknowledging their middle-aged-ness, Evan and Andrew call in a ringer to shed some light on what the hell David Bowie is imagining when he thinks of Young Americans. Pimps? Hustlers? Richard Nixon?!? Had this guy even BEEN to America?!? Along the way, our hosts reminisce about their viral collaboration “It’s Corn,” Bruce Springsteen plagiarism, whether cocaine can make you a fascist*, and, for no discernible reason, revisit Andrew’s worst opinion. *yes.

Andrew comes to the pod this week with a barnyard axe to grind: Why ain’t there country music for them northerners? Down On The Farm by Tim McGraw proves the PERfect vessel for his punch up which turns out inventing an entirely new subgenre of music!! Evan is both aghast and delighted. Dana Schwartz (Anatomy: A Love Story; Noble Blood) saves the day as official Rhode Island Consultant, and together they figure out a lot about Quahogs, casual country sexism, wine scrotums, and Hollywood nepotism. Guest: Dana Schwartz Special Guest Punch Vocal by Zachary Williams of the Lone Bellow! Punch ups available as standalone tracks on Patreon!! It's the best deal on the internet!

The wheels are flying off the car as guest Amir Blumenfeld invites *himself* into the punch like an 80s bully crashing the party, where all the nerds are just trying to have a good time drinking Brass Monkey. Hoo boy, Evan and Andrew try to make nice but it gets TENSE. Plus we discover that the song 'Brass Monkey' is so problematic that the Beastie Boys later disowned it.Walk in songs:'2021' - Vampire Weekend'Bank Account' (short song) - Louis Cole'Crazy in Love' - Beyoncé ft.
