  • Ep. 09: Norman Greenbaum - “Spirit in the Sky"
    Jul 18 2024

    Ahoy hoy boppers!

    We're back and with a fun one in Norman Greenbaum's 1969 classic rock staple you've heard in at least a half-dozen commercials or movies in your life in "Spirit in the Sky." That opening guitar line is one of the most iconic starts to a song!

    We'll look at the Greenbaum's start in the music industry, the number-one hit in "Spirit in the Sky" and then review the rest of the songs off the album of the same name using the scientific scale of bops. Does this album fly to the sky or will it be a giant sigh? Only one way to find out in the #1 podcast for one-hit wonders, One-Hit Wonder Why?

    Buckle up boppers!

  • Ep. 08: Rusted Root - “Send Me On My Way"
    Mar 21 2024

    Ahoy hoy boppers! We're back after a long hiatus and we're super stoked!

    Episode eight brings us the 1994 smash-hit "Send Me On My Way" from world music group Rusted Root off of their When I Woke album. Put on your hemp necklace and finest pair of birkenstocks because we'll be exploring the history of jam bands and how Rusted Root came to be along with the heavy usage "Send Me On My Way" received in movies (hey Maltida and Ice Age fans!)

    We'll then review the rest of the tracks off When I Woke through a very scientific method of "bops" and see if there are songs that should be sprouted onto your playlist or songs that are withered at the vine (plant puns are hard!)

    Buckle up boppers and let's get at it!
