You Should Know This Song

It's our ONE YEAR anniversary, and we are still talking and pushing the APEisode uphill. Chapter 2 Playlist is here!

With the new year we are celebrating our 52nd APEisode, and we're not done. It's a MIXED UPZ MIXED APEZ format. We are into Chapter 2 of this APEisode. All kinds of challenges with all kinds of artists, and our usual rants. Continue with us on this odyssey of the MIXED APEZ kind. 

FIGHT THE POWER! AND DON'T FORGET TO...

We made it to a year's worth of APEisodes. How about that SHI... stuff? We have lost our minds (Still? Again? Whatever!) and we are celebrating our 52nd APEisode by going even farther off the rails than usual.

We've got some news, and we've got a load of folks to thank as well. And that includes ALL YOU APES out there!!!!! There's the thanks, then the inevitable Nestkeeping. And finally, we start the challenges. 

The APEisode is so...

We're saying so long to 2024 in APEisode51 (playlist here). And as my stepmom used to say, don't let the door hit ya in the backside on yer way out! We roll into (and out of) the APEisode with music from Wayne of APEZ and his project Architects of Umbra, with the tune Burning Sands. With no Nestkeeping, we start right into a RANT about Kid Charlemagne, and roll directly into another about MFSB, the Philadelphia creation made up of ...

Welcome, and come help us celebrate APEisode #50 (grab the playlist here) of THE Lyric Challenge Podcast, YOU SHOULD KNOW THIS SONG! It's the holiday season, and while we don't need a reason to go crazy, hittin' 50 is as good an excuse as any!

After the usual ZANITY (I just made up a word there), of the intro and our traditional NESTkeeping, we jump into a PRIME CUTZ segment. There are clues and references to Otis Redding, Trooper,...

Happy Holidays and welcome to APEisode 49 of YOU SHOULD KNOW THIS SONG. Better known as THE #1 BEST LYRIC CHALLENGE PODCAST FROM MIXEDAPEZ ON THE ENTIRE INTERNET! Get that FOMO going and make sure you get in on this action! Grab the rocking playlist HERE!

It's the giving season, so give your mind a break from the shopping and holiday scurrying and stress, grab a nog (careful there...) and let us give you APEZ rock & roll gifts ...

It's a MixedAPEZ, MuggledAPEZ, ShookAPEZ world. And It's not easy being APEZ you know. We get aches and pains just like everyone else! We have technical difficulties too. It's not our fault GOSH! Yep,a  little adventure this time around with some audio issues for the last few minutes. But we make it look good. 

We go over and over, Police, Squeeze, Waylon & Willie, Cheap Trick, VanHalen, The Kinks, Mack Rice, Wilson Pickett, Ye...

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-Holla...

Welcome to fall, winter holiday season and....maybe a little global warming? We're outside Mid-November, in T-shirts at Rayce's Oasizzzz! (Or Rayce's Away-sizzz?) Crackin up! Crackin 'em open! Crackin Challenges!

This Playlist is gonna be LIT! Or FIRE! Or CHILL! (ask your kids, YMMV).  Or for the appropriate age group RAD! YOU WANT TO GRAB IT HERE! We got Neville Bros, Sonny Landreth, VonDrukes, Monophonics, Steely Dan, Carole King...

We're spinning a new APEisode every week, and we're proud to present number 45. We've got a round of Quick Hitz to share. All the songs mentioned are available in our playlist here. 

We have challenges for songs from The Police, The Eagles, Radiohead, Jeff Beck, Bob Marley & the Wailers, and a bunch more. We're moving fast and taking no prisoners.

Then, we've got a 'happy little surprise' (thanks you Bob Ross). We go through so...

CONGRATULAPEZIONS! You've chosen to fill your ears and brain noodle with the finest quality, curated, bespoke, ham-hand-crafted, rock lyric challenge, and general music jabber charcuterie board cuts two MIXEDAPEZ ever made - YOU SHOULD KNOW THIS SONG!  Now...WHERE'S THAT CONFOUNDED BRIDGE? It's a goof, and it's cracking us up! BUT....wrong song. HELP US! Send your corrections and check out the playlist here. Here at 'Rayce's Oaziz'...

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...

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...

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 im...

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 ...

We're out in Rayce's Oasizzz doing our first evening/sunset cruise. And this whole 40s 'thing' has the MixedAPEZ doing Mixed Upz! I mean Jack White is 49! WWHHAAT?! 

PLAYLIST gonna be great! Get it here.

Anyway, after a little Nest keeping we bring you challenges and merriment from Chicago, Moon Martin, Robert Palmer, Kansas, James Taylor, Squeeze, Joe Walsh, Neville Bros, Stevie Wonder, Jeff Beck, Nina Simone....wwheewwww. 

We 'co...

Hey there groovy peoples, and all the other groovy folks! Are we back to inflict more musical pain to your brain? Nah, we just want to share our particular brand of weird again with those of you that enjoy that kind of thing (maybe you should see someone about that). This APEisode's playlist can be found here.

This APEisode is (almost) all about the BEAN ENCHILADAZ. We bend and break lyrics from all kindz of artists. Sheryl Crow, F...

IN A WORLD WHERE THE APEZ TALK FOR WELL OVER AN HOUR, COMES AN APEISODE THAT....maybe you don't have to listen to in 3 parts. ARE YOU READY TO RUUUUMBBUUULLL??? Weird to stop talking well before an hour, but here it is! Never fear! We still manage to fill the airwaves with plenty of our drivel. Check out the songs from this APEisode HERE on the playlist!

A little Nest Keeping gets it all going, with corrections on Dire Straights' E...

We're here for APEisode36, and WE'RE NOT SORRY! You can grab the playlist for this APEisode HERE!

We keep trying to shorten the APEisodes, but we don't seem to be able to get there. What's an APEZ to do? We're going to start off with some PRIME CUTZ. We've got Porno for Pyros, (no, the band. Behave!), MotorHead, and even the King in this segment with lots of other artists. 

We kick off TWIZT w very happy Reid ranting a bit about th...
