More from Screw It, I'm Just Gonna Talk About Music Or Whatever
I'm joined for this episode by my close friend Kate Riley! We each contributed songs whose lyrics strike us as very funny and don't seem to be a joke on purpose (i.e. unintentionally funny). Send us your picks for songs on this theme! Buy Kate's amazing debut novel "Ruth", out 8/19/25!
Back again with more songs that have the same titles but otherwise have nothing in common!
This is a pretty flimsy theme BUT all the songs are good so let's all just cool it. The theme is prepositions. Songs that have prepositions in the title. That's it. Anyway, they're good songs.
This is the 50th episode of this podcast! I'm joined by friend Eric D. Johnson (Fruit Bats, Bonny Light Horseman) to talk about handclaps. We talk about handclaps in the songwriting and recording process, play some of our favorite songs featuring handclaps, and also have a bunch of digressions about other stuff.
This episode features all songs whose titles are questions, even though some aren't punctuated as such. There are many songs that would qualify for this theme that aren't included, but I tried to gather a bunch that are all pretty different from one another.
