This Might Be A Podcast

Episode 249 - Sally Boy Candy Bar

Cartoonist Kyle Carrozza is here to talk about one of the earliest, wildest TMBG songs, "Sally Boy Candy Bar," a Dial-a-Song track not officially released until the TMBGUnlimited series. We get an inside look at the world of cartooning from Kyle before we delve into possible meanings or lack of meanings with these lyrics, how the sonics of the track were created, and hear the only cover in existence. 

Episode 248 - 200 Sbemails & Crystal Fortress

My Exquisite Dead Guys bandmate Jerome Hemersbach is here to talk about TMBG's collaborations with Homestar Runner, "200 Sbemails" and "Crystal Fortress." There is much Homestar fan service and voice impressions, and we commissioned the only Sbemails cover into existence. 

Episode 247 - Brontosaurus

Laura Eagle makes her debut on the show to talk about the Book hit "Brontosaurus." We discuss the actual dinosaur, Monty Python, and get call-ins to discuss the trans interpretation of the lyrics. 

Episode 246 - Can You Find It?

Isabel Banks, our youngest guest to date at 16 years old, makes her debut on the podcast to talk about a song she's loved since she was little, "Can You Find It?" from Here Come the ABCs. We talk about her early fear of the John puppets, hear her and her dad do a cover, and discuss how this song doesn't have any right to be as heartstring-tugging as it is. 

Episode 245 - Climbing the Walls

Fellow teacher Suzy VanSchenck joins me to talk about "Climbing the Walls", one of the biggest bangers from The Else. We talk shop as teachers, one of her kids joins in for a bit, and we hear a wide swath of covers. 

Episode 244 - Applause Applause Applause

My first South American guest, Alejo Gacioppo from Argentina, is here to talk about the My Murdered Remains track "Applause Applause Applause." We talk about some Argentinian film and music, get into American politics as applied to the song, and talk cymbal technique. 

Episode 243 - The Ballad of Davy Crockett (In Outer Space)

Phil Dickey and Grace Bentley of the band Dragon Inn 3 (Phil was also in the band Someone Still Loves You Boris Yeltsin) are here to talk about this parody song found on Here Comes Science. We talk about the original song, Phil and Grace's son Davy, and then they play a cover of the song live on the episode. 

Episode 242 - Your Mom’s Alright

The members of Cartoon Violence are here to talk about this Mike Doughty / Elegant Too collab with TMBG, a Mink Car b-side. We ponder the origins of the song's writing, try to decipher the lyrics, and hear a couple very unique covers.

Episode 241 - Cyclops Rock

Elizabeth Adams is back on the show to talk about the Mink Car live staple "Cyclops Rock." We talk about the demo, Nixon vs. Chucky, and find a lot of wild covers.
