If only we'd learned the truth at seventeen... then we might not be bringing you this delightful new 17th APEisode. We start with some MIXEDAPEZ Twist & Shout. A twisted segment where the song comes first, and the LYRICS are the answer. Frankly, when I was 17, I THOUGHT the lyrics WERE the answer. Either way, we've got songs by Bob Marley & the Wailers, Timbuk3, Joe Jackson, Van Halen and so much more in this segment.
Then some tasty, if slightly weird, Bean Enchiladas. A listener favorite segment, where we mangle the lyrics to songs you know and love. Clues include "Come on, peel an orange", and "She eats cole-slaw every day". Why are they always about food? With Nirvana, The Police, BOC, and Zeppelin among the bands (just to name a few) whose lyrics we turn sideways, there's something for every taste here.
We wrap it up with Your Mother Should Know, with clues just about anybody can figure out, even us APEZ. Songs from The Beach Boys, Sly & the Family Stone, Hootie, and a handful of others round out the APEisode and everybody getsthe correct answer out in 'record' time. I really can't help the dad jokes, and that's the way, uh-huh, we like it.
So connect with us and get the latest APEisode, and help us celebrate our 17th. Rock & Roll, kids. We're gonna grow up someday, but probably not today.

COME ON IN! Welcome to Rayce’z Oasiz! MixedApez are slinging another heapin’ helpin’ of song challenges, BS, and weirdity (Yep! Made up word. That tracks!) on You Should Know This Song. APEisode 15 has us chatting through the acts above as well as ABC, No Doubt, U2, Genesis, The Buggles, Bruce Springsteen, Cheap Trick, Crowded House, Ministry, Billy Joel, Bill withers and others.
It all happens when we play our PRIME CUTS, and TWIST & SHOUT lyric challenges.
Then when we do UNCONTROLLED SUBSTANCE it’s APEZ messing with our own A D D. as we try letting our brains go wandering off unsupervised. And when they return we make use of them for some CORRECTIONS and NOTES.
Pull up a branch and hang out a bit for You Should Know This Song THE ROCK MUSIC LYRIC CHALLENGE AND COMMENTARY PODCAST!

Hey there. Welcome! Is this your first time? Don't be scared, we're friendly APEZ. Weird and friendly! Very weird, but still friendly.
We've returned with more commentary and silliness about Rock music and lyrics. This APEisode begins with our Ask & You Shall Deceive segment. We include lyrics from CCR, the Byrds, Toto, The Blues Brothers, Tommy Tutone and even more.
Then a NEW challenge! It's called Tune That Name (at least for the moment), and it's basically word association for music nerds. The Police, Aerosmith, Pretenders, Tears for Fears, The Monkees, Talking Heads... all of them and more show up in the new segment.
Finally we 'wrap it up' with Bean Enchiladas (haha, get it?) which seems to have become a listener favorite. Lyrics by Billy Idol, Pearl Jam, Tom Petty, Steve Perry and a bunch more get twisted into unrecognizable word salad. Sorry, not sorry.
So let's get our pod on. Join us for another zany trip into the jungle lair that is MIXEDAPEZ land. We promise, we won't bite.

HEY! We just couldn't resist getting in a little MIDWEEK MAYHEM, so we whipped up a mini-episode to mention a bunch of bands that "YOU SHOULD KNOW" touring in the next couple of months. We'll run through part of the summer's touring announcements that MAY be showing up in a venue near you.
And just for fun we toss out a challenge to all of you, with a lyric challenge for the listeners. If you know the song (without having to look it up), drop a comment on your podcast platform or send an email to apez@mixedapez.com.
We're reminding EVERYBODY to play fair, it's no fun if you look it up on the InterWebs. If you don't know this one, we'll be dropping more along the way.
Anyway, check it out and see if there a gonna be some cool shows to attend near you!

We are still stupefied by the fact that Judas Priest has been making METAL albums for 50 years. On the other hand, we're not very smart and neither one of counts very well.
In APEisode 13, we open with our Ask and You Shall Deceive segment. Discussing songs by John Hiatt, Counting Crows, REM, Led Zeppelin, Eddie Money, and even Ronnie Spector, we cover the gamut of genres this time.
We debut a new segment called Route 66. The point of this challenge is to provide as many locations (city/state/country) as possible from a song, based on the lyrics tossed at you. It's the first go, so we may struggle through it, but ultimately it's a blast. We hit songs by the Lovin' Spoonful, Bob Seeger, Beach Boys, Rush, David Bowie, and several more.
Wrapping up with Uncontrolled Substance, we confess to the music we sometimes listen to when no one else is around, music we call guilty treasures. Since it's stuff we 'feel guilty' about, we'll leave it at that and you'll have to listen to find out what we're talking about.
So get your kicks with us in APEisode 13. Let's ROLL, baby!

It took a minute, but we got Prime, Bean Enchiladas, And Quick Hitz to reward your patience. In this APEisode we explore keeping our heads on straight while life rears up and calls for attention. We swing through with some corrections, PRIME CUTS featuring the likes of John Mayer, The Knack, Poco, Gene Vincent, Rage Against The Machine, They Might Be Giants, and more. Then, in BEAN ENCHILADAS we eat our words referencing Superstitious, When I Fight Authority, Beast Of Burden, BaBaBa Barbara Ann, a few others, and finally finish our Bean Enchiladas. Man, I'm stuffed.
We wrap it up with QUICK HITZ, including discussions on Peter Gabriel, Foo Fighters, ZZ Top, Rolling Stones, Heart, The Clash and more, more, more!
Come on don't be mad, it's worth the wait! Check it out! And if you're really upset, send us an email and tell us how it ruins your day if we're late with an APEsiode. You know we love you guys! REALLY.

Hello again! Apparently, he's SCRUMPTRULESCENT, and I'm fine, but not quite dandy! With 'nods' to Will, and the best ever, George, we kick off APEisode 11. We offer a NEW segment, PRIME "Twist and Shout". In the new segment, the challenger has to come up with a couple of lines of lyrics, prompted by a song name. Not always as easy as it sounds. We have clues from Ozzy to Squeeze, from Jane's Addiction to Jethro Tull, and for a change, we get most of them right!
Our Uncontrolled Substance session is a blast, talking about some of our favorite covers, and a bunch of faves from listeners. We "COVER" (sorry, I just can't help it) covers from RHCP, Ghost, Limp Bizkit, Elmore James, Metallica, Hendrix, Judas Priest, Melvins, and that's not even half of them. And I am betting you won't guess the hands down favorite cover our listeners shared.
So make sure to cover all your bets, and download the latest MixedApez APEisode of You Should Know This Song, THE ROCK LYRIC CHALLENGE PODCAST!
WE ARE MIXEDAPEZ
presenting
YOU SHOULD KNOW THIS SONG!
Rock lyrics. Everybody knows 'em. Or do they?
We've been trading lyric challenges for over 20 years. We've had so much fun, we decided to share. We have a few different kinds of challenges, but mostly we just want to talk about the music, the bands, the shows, random factoids, and whatever else (Rock related) comes up.
We're here to share our thoughts and commentary on the music we know and love. But we also want to hear from YOU.
ARE YOU MIXEDAPEZ?
We think there are plenty of us out there.
Listen to the podcast and join us in the jungle! There's plenty of weird to go around.
