On our FINAL listener-submitted episode we break down 3 (and a half or so) songs that YOU, the wonderful listeners, submitted to us. From obscure bops to the most problematic One Direction song over, you helped round out over 4 years of wonderfully bad, bizarre, and noteworthy audience suggestions.

We're only a *few* days late, but on this week's episode we dissect three wildly different (yet somehow all depressing?) songs about ringing in the new year that are all titled "Happy New Year." 

On our special Christmas episode we dissect Paul McCartney's (for better or for worse) timeless Christmas classic. Is the song truly just Paul McCartney singing nonsense? Is there actually deeper, possibly occult meaning to the lyrics? Either way we can all agree that the keyboards sound terrible.

On this week's episode Steve guides us through some of the most bizarre marriages between science fiction and pop/rock music. From properties such as Dune, 1984, Stephen Kings' The Stand, and Godzilla (THE king of the monsters), few sci-fi properties remain unturned as sources of musical inspiration.

Send us your bad, bizarre, and noteworthy song suggestions to be included in our LAST listener submitted episode! [email protected] https://www.instagram.com/thesongtopsyreport/  

It's one of Steve's favorite melodramatic musicals and it stars an actor whose acting style and face can both be described as "exceptionally hammy." This week we dive into our first musical dissection (that's not a porn parody) and discuss some of the hit songs from the 1990 Frank Wildhorn musical "Jekyll and Hyde," and specifically the 2001 performance starring Songtopsy alumni David Hasselhoff.

This episode we wade into the spooky world of bad, bizarre, and noteworthy music that children and their parents must endure during what is otherwise the best time of the year. From Pinkfong cash-ins to Kids Bop desecrations to abominations from the House of Mouse itself, no sub-genre of children's music is safe. Also we've got some big stuff coming soon as we slowly march toward episode 200... https://www.dapperdevilproductions.com  

As we creep through October, Steven introduces us to the mysterious, all-anonymous, constantly-dressed-as-mummies funk group Here Come The Mummies. With songs about loving dick (Richard), *arriving* in your pants, and being attacked by a Weiner man, this group makes sure no entendre is left single. Check out our stuff! https://www.instagram.com/dapperdevilproductions/?hl=en  

NOTE: Forgot to mention this on the show, but Nick's symptoms are so mild because he's vaccinated, if you haven't already please get the damn shot if you're able to! We start Fall off properly by diving into yet another bizarre horror-movie-song tie-in, this time with the classic horror/comedy film series "Re-Animator." We're pretty sure a techno euro-trash pop song is exactly what H. P Lovecraft would have had in mind (and that's not even counting the whole Furry tie-in...) Follow us on...

It's to dissect S-O-N-G-S! This week Mike leads us on a journey through the shockingly turbulent history of The Village People and their immortal classic disco hit "YMCA."

This week we finally dissect that classic reggae-dancehall crossover hit all about gaslighting your loved ones!

It's a best-of this week as we dive into an oldie-but-goodie episode where we dissect that one song from the 60's in which William Shatner loses his his goddamn mind. Follow us on Podchaser! https://www.podchaser.com/podcasts/the-songtopsy-report-1569260  

FEED your brain the delicious breakfast of knowledge on this week's special "Are You Tellin' Me..." episode where Steve breaks down the complete, several-millennia long history of the concept of having a meal first thing in the morning. Covering the global history dating back to ancient Egypt, the current international staples that vary across the world, and the EVIL of one Will Keith Kellogg, we leave no scone unturned.

It's our first ever crossover episode! With the help of Glee experts Ian Brodsky and Corrina Stokes from "Glee Aggressive: Regrettably, a Glee Podcast," we dissect the 2010 Glee porn parody MUSICAL that was made after the success of the hit Fox TV show. Come for the expert insight on how true the parody is to the actual show, stay for songs sung by porn stars that include lyrics such as "big tushy hoes everybody knows we f**k the best." And while you're at it check out "Glee Aggressive" for...

Friend of the show and veteran wedding DJ Andy Felicitas joins this week's episode all about the ins and outs of what it's like to be in charge of the music at a typical (and decidedly non-typical) wedding. Covering the 200 most-played wedding songs, but also impromptu best-man rap performances and what NOT to play at an Indian wedding, Andy divulges what it truly takes to make a wedding run smoothly. AND if you're getting hitched soon you can check out Andy's work below! Felicitas...

It's the worldwide hit that was the soundtrack to everyone's 4th grade birthday party at a bowling alley, but when you dive into the nitty-gritty of the lyrics it's actually one of the most salacious songs we've ever covered. Mike leads this line-dance of an episode and reveals what the ORIGINAL song was actually about, the Bayside Boys remix that took over the world, and the existence of the Christmas version. Yes, there's a Christmas version. Follow us on Podchaser! ...

Davinci. Nostradamus. Unfortunate generals. Technically everyone who's ever lived. What do they all have in common? They have all uttered last words, and on this week's historically-bent episode of "Are You Tellin' Me?" Steve breaks down some of the most legendary last words every uttered and the (usually sordid) details that led to them. Follow us on Podchaser! https://www.podchaser.com/podcasts/the-songtopsy-report-1569260  

Extremely small and obscure indie video game Fortnite has spawned its own roster of original in-house hit singles, and resident Fortnite expert Steven breaks down some of the more bizarre ones.

Steve takes us on a tour of the Pacific Theatre circa WWII on this week's episode all about the war propaganda song that Jimmy-ready-to-bust-out-of-his-pants Dean wrote about the then newly-elected John F Kennedy.
