You Should Know This Song

Who Do We Think We Are? (We're Probably Not Sure!) APEisode 8

We haven't been able to determine WHY, but apparently some of you want to know how we became MixedApez. I think we were just born this way, but for everyone who wanted deets, here's a bit of MixedApez Lore.
This APEisode starts with the segment we've come to call 'Your Mother Should Know'. We play around with lyrics from Bob Marley, 3rd Eye Blind, Billy Idol, Squeeze, The Ohio Players and a bunch more. Then we spend some time on the Apez origin story. We talk about how this all started, and the road into the weird jungle we inhabit.
So, check out the 8th APEisode, guess along with what everyone's mother should know, and hang out for a bit. We can't wait to get swinging!

Everybody's Got to Be Somewhere: APEisode 7

How can you miss us if we won't go away? We are back with APEisode 7 of our MIXEDAPEZ challenges. We have 3 great segments for you this time, starting with our "Prime" challenge, YOU SHOULD KNOW THIS SONG, then we roll right into ASK & YE SHALL BE DECEIVED. Lastly we finish with a little bit of QUICK HITS. 
Challenges include lyrics from all kinds of artists, such as Elvis Costello, Steely Dan, Talking Heads, Wall of Voodoo, & Bob Dylan and his son Jakob. We also have lyric challenges from the songs of The Grateful Dead, Dire Straits, Velvet Underground, and Blues Traveler. And that's not even all. 
So jump on board and let's get goin'. We just won't go away.

APEZ MAKEZ MISTAKEZ. We were wrong, and it's not gonna be the last time....

Welcome to our little corner of the rainforest. We begin the episode correcting SEVERAL mistakez we've made since we started. After all we're only human, wait, APEZ are simians, right? Whichever, we've erred, and we're sorry. 
Then we launch into another Bean Enchiladas segment (OH NO!) . We claim it's misheard lyrics, but it's really just an excuse to be sillier than usual. We butcher lyrics from Jethro Tull, Journey, Eurythmics, Bon Jovi, and so many more. Thankfully, we eventually segue into a segment called Your Mother Should Know, a 'lighter' version of our Prime segment, where everybody and their mother should be able to answer the challenges. 
Come on and join us in the monkeyshines (APEZ, monkeys, haha, amiright?)
I know, it's lame. But I've gotta put something here...

It Was 50 Years Ago Today...Prime Cuts & 1973

Welcome back to another journey with MIXEDAPEZ. This APEisode starts off with our YOU SHOULD KNOW THIS SONG challenge and then we take a hard left back to 1973, to revisit the music released that year. The APEisode was recorded near the end of 2023 while we still building content, and we looked at albums that turned 50 years old. If you want to follow along, you can find our source material here.

There's also a shoutout to the old heads in the Chicagoland area.

Still Rolling with Episode 3. Keep on Layin 'Em Down.

Join us for a 3rd foray into MIXEDAPEZ territory. We start off with a segment called Bean Enchiladas. Named for the misheard lyrics to "The Pina Colada" song, the segment explores some VERY SILLY misheard or mis-interpreted lyrics. We follow with a ramble on the unsung heroes of the Motown era, known to some as the Fabulous Funk Brothers. Lastly, we hop into Ask and Ye Shall Deceive. Turn the clue into a question, and the correct answer reveals the answer to the challenge. 
So jump in and joins for a crazy ride, Hopefully you'll be entertained, and you may pick up some new insight into some great music. Let's Roll!
