You Should Know This Song

OOOH BABY...YOU KNOW IT'S THE R&B APEisode! And it feels...so good. IT'S #47 AND R&B RULES THE DAY!

It's the YOU SHOULD KNOW THIS SONG R&B EDITION. And we're on an R&B mission. There's soooo much great ammunition. And we can barely glance at the full condition. Playlist is here, and you know it's bitchin'! But you can always go on your own expedition. And enrich your R&B cognition. On 'the dock of the (internet) bay', go fishin! And reel in some sounds that are...'enrichin'. (sorry?)
We talk about Holland-Dozier-Holland songs. The list is filled with gold and pages long. Of course we babble on and on. These are the shoulders so many artists stand upon. They deserve heaps of appreciation. And kickin-back, vibing with the volume strong. And with other other R&B classics you can't go wrong!
These artists are Hall of Fame stratosphere. Their voices and music have carried us for years. Love, loss, protest, celebration, and tears. Take a blink out of your life and fill your ears. Whether remembering, or experiencing, you're gonna hear. Captivating, almost medicinal, saturating, and clear. Attitude adjustment, elevation, and pure cheer!  SO GET IN HERE! It's #47 YOU SHOULD KNOW THIS SONG!

WELCOME (BACK if it applies) to the pageantry, the celebration, the festival, the meandering that is YOU SHOULD KNOW THIS SONG! This time we're gonna brave the question "who is the father of heavy metal guitar?" We're not answering it, but more talking about it and passing it along to you. So get into the discussion! The playlist for this APEisode can be found HERE!
Mike of APEZ suggested to Rayce of APEZ a now and again sharing of a new album. Awww, look at them sharing. Anyway, cool idea! AND we also do a song lyric challenge show by the way....so we'll play our PRIME CUTZ game, then ASK AND YE SHALL DECEIVE, and massacre some perfectly good song lyrics with BEAN ENCHILADAZ to fill you on up.
Oh, and this is hilarious, Reid has Carrie Underwood stuck in his head. Actually, we discuss how kinda cool that is. Especially mixed in with The Police, Dick Dale, Schooley D, Chemical Brothers, Neville Brothers, The Cure, KISS, and Tower Of Power; and a bunch more for our fantastic playlist.

Four Hundred Covers? Over Seventy Band Members? Twofers? It's MixedAPEZ BY THE NUMBERS in APEisode 42!

Hey Kidz! Here we are again, for what seems like the 42nd time. Oddly enough, it IS the 42nd time. How can you you miss us if we won't go away? This APEisode is a no challenge zone. That's right, this one has all the calories, none of the challenges. Rayce gets going on a couple of topics, and he just won't shut up. After some much needed Nestkeeping, we discuss some OUTSTANDING numbers that just seem unbelievable. We cover a few covers. And then we find a sneaky way to get some instrumentals on the playlist available here. All this and more on APEisode 42 of THE Lyric Challenge Podcast, YOU SHOULD KNOW THIS SONG now!

Outside with NO SHELTER, Suddenly We're RIDIN THE STORM OUT, and then We Gotta RUN TO YOU! Rain Delay in APEisode 41!

With all respect to John Sebastian and "Gabe Kotter" we're saying 'Welcome Back'. We were recording outdoors 'Late in the Evening', just poddin' along, when a sudden and totally unexpected rainstorm hit us. After a little natural panic, we hustled the equipment indoors with (thankfully) no damage, and we finished up inside. We appreciate your understanding if the sound environment changed, but we managed to finish up with little impact to the APEisode. Find the playlist for this week's mayhem here. We start off with some Nestkeeping, re-iterating that Little Richard IS the King of Rock & Roll, and it seems even the big 'E' himself agreed. 'Nuff said. We jump into a FULL Episode of Prime Cutz. We begin with lyric challenges from Santana, The Cult, The Clash, and Rage. Then we had to change venues due to the sudden storm. When we regroup inside, we are able to continue with clues for songs by The Psychedelic Furs, REO, The Kinks, the Thin White Duke, and more. We survived the weather, and we'd love to have you join us for the adventure. Listen to APEisode 41 of THE Lyric Challenge Podcast, YOU SHOULD KNOW THIS SONG now!

We're Turning 40! King Crimson, Peter Gabriel, Edgar Winter, Leon Russell and More Join the Party! It's APEisode 40!

40 APEisodes! We're getting (already were) up there, at least in APEisode age! Where does the time go...? Well, mostly it goes into editing. That, and trying to remember why we came into the room in the first place. But that's not what we're here to talk about. As always, you can find the playlist for this APEisode here.This week we start of with a little nestkeeping (we're always cleaning up after each other) and move right into that segment we started with, PRIME CUTZ. We lead off with ELO, and some banter about the actual lyrics, which still seem to be in dispute 50 years later. We've got lyrics by Peter Gabriel, King Crimson, and a left turn into a discussion about the Roches. And there's clues from the Knickerbockers, the B-52s, Van Morrison and Steve Miller. As always, we digress... leading us into conversations about Leon Russell, and even Alan Sherman. Join us as we venture into middles age (APEisode wise) and come see what all the noise is about! WILL YOU KEEP IT DOWN IN THERE! No we won't. We can't stop talking about the music we all love. So come on along for another APEisode of YOU SHOULD KNOW THIS SONG! THE rock lyric challenge podcast.
