In this episode of Beat Motel, Andrew and Dr. Sam attempt to discuss “Great Songs with Questionable Lyrics” but mostly end up talking about accidental calls to the emergency services and the thermal advantages of having an itchy jumper for a face.
We dive into the grottier side of grindcore with Edinburgh’s CHOU, wonder why Wolf Alice has a drummer singing in a thicket, and Dr. Sam tries to justify why he once owned a Limp Bizkit record. Also featuring: Slade being sued for sounding like a brickyard, Jimmy Page “borrowing” songs again, and why you should never store your Lego boxes in a greenhouse. It’s less of a music podcast and more of a documented descent into madness.
