This week on Galaxy Crashers: The Busted & McFly Podcast, we’re diving headfirst into one of the most dramatic tracks from Busted’s debut album — Sleeping With the Light On.We’re talking lost loves, 2am ceiling stares, framed photos, emotional overthinking… and whether this song is actually deep, or just feels deep when you’re 14. From “sharks” or “shocks” (we need answers) to bridge appreciation moments (because Busted bridges never miss), we’re breaking it all down.Is this the ultimate Busted ballad? Are they actually scared of the dark… or just dramatic? And why does it still hit live every single time?Plus — we tease next week’s very special guest 👀
This week on Galaxy Crashers, we’re joined by Mcfly’d, the ultimate tribute band celebrating the iconic sound of McFly. 🎸We chat about what inspired them to start the band, their favourite (and not-so-favourite 👀) McFly songs to play, and what it’s really like stepping into those legendary pop-rock shoes.We also put them to the test in a McFly lyric challenge — no phones, no cheating, just pure fan knowledge on the line. Let’s just say… confidence levels were low, but accuracy was spot on! 🎤🔥Our Song of the Week is “She Left Me”, and we dive into why it gives off serious Grease vibes — especially those harmonies, and the two-step vibe that feel straight out of Grease… with a sprinkle of Beauty School Dropout energy thrown in for good measure.Nostalgia, competition, musical theatre comparisons — it’s all happening this week in the galaxy. ✨
This week we spiral (affectionately) over Busted’s “All the Way.” Is it an elite 00s masterpiece? Is it… fine? We debate, we overanalyze, we absolutely overreact — and then we decide where it lands in our very serious, very scientific ranking system.Then it’s time for This or That: 00s Disney Channel Edition from Tay this week, and Shan makes Tay choose over 2 of her most disliked McFly/Busted songs. We debut a brand new segment where we revisit 00s songs that have not aged gracefully. We break down the lyrics, decode what they actually meant, and ask the important question: why were we screaming this at age 11???It’s chaotic bestie energy, nostalgia overload, and at least three moments where we say “WAIT… hold on.”10/10 whiplash. Bring snacks. 🎧💅✨TRIGGER WARNING - We briefly discuss Britneys song and music video 'Everytime' which includes a scene of attempted suicide.
This week, we’re diving into “Met This Girl” by McFly, and let’s just say… Shan and Tay could not be further apart. With ratings at completely opposite ends of the scale, things get spicy as we unpack why this song hits (or absolutely doesn’t).Plus, it’s time for This or That, where Tay puts Shan through the ultimate challenge: choosing between each McFly member’s previous version of himself 😬 And if that wasn’t enough chaos, Tay takes on the McFly Says Quiz… and walks away with a brutal 0 out of 4.Curious how it all went so wrong (or right)? Tune in to find out 🎧✨
This week, we’re joined for a double length episode by pop-rock favourites WNSDY @ 7 for a seriously fun chat. We put the band to the test with This or That, spiral into peak nostalgia over scented gel pens and Pepsi Max obsessions, and dive head-first into their love for McFly and Busted (yes, favourites are named 👀).Plus, we talk all about their latest music, what they’ve been working on recently, and what fans can expect from their upcoming shows. It’s chaotic, nostalgic, and full of laughs — exactly how we like it.Hit play and hang out with us. 🎧✨
