This week on 1001 Songs That Make You Want To Die, we take on “Heroes” — a song that somehow manages to be genuinely beautiful, historically important, and still capable of making us argue for way too long. We dig into David Bowie in his Berlin era, the real story behind the kiss by the Wall, why this song sounds enormous even when it’s barely moving, and how Heroes became shorthand for triumph, hope, and stadium-...

This week on 1001 Songs That Make You Want To Die, we put “Complicated” under the microscope and ask the question nobody wanted answered in 2002: was this actually pop punk, or were we all aggressively gaslit by a necktie and some eyeliner? We dig into how Avril Lavigne was pitched as a skater-punk outsider while quietly being moulded in a boardroom, why Complicated sounds a lot more like country rock than Warped ...

John Mayer’s “Your Body Is a Wonderland” should be a sweet little love song… but somehow it ends up sounding like a guided tour through a serial killer’s scrapbook. In this episode, we break down the lyrics, the deep-sea blanket metaphors, the miles of skin, the hand-only approach to intimacy, and the unbelievably cursed music video stare-downs. We also dig into the Grammy it somehow won, Mayer’s teenage songwriti...

Send us a Text Message right now! “I Saw Mommy Kissing Santa Claus – The Jackson 5” Christmas is meant to be wholesome… until you look at the lyrics too closely. This week, the boys dig into I Saw Mommy Kissing Santa Claus by The Jackson 5 — a song that somehow manages to be festive, creepy, and deeply unhinged all at once. Was Mum having an affair with Santa? Was Dad in the corner with a cuck cage? Why is Michael begging his brothers to “be...

We break down the jungle-camp video, the chaotic lyrics, and why Aqua seemed determined to make every song sound like it was recorded inside a bouncy castle. From the Indiana Jones knock-off storyline to the hyperactive Eurodance production that could power a small town, we unpack every strange choice that somehow ...

This week the boys dive into “Beez in the Trap” by Nicki Minaj and 2 Chainz — a track that somehow manages to be about money, slang, drug spots, and absolutely zero bees. And yet we spend half the episode talking about bees anyway. Chibs tries to decode the meaning of “I bees in the trap,” Gav has a full meltdown about the song never dropping a proper beat, Bevo accidentally turns into an apiarist, and Dan goes de...

Bruce Springsteen might be The Boss, but in I'm on Fire he's also… extremely calm about being absolutely covered in metaphorical (or maybe real?) flames. This week, we dive deep into one of the most quietly horny and confusing songs ever written. Is Bruce seducing someone? Is he literally combusting? Did he just wet the bed in three different ways at once? And why does this sound so romantic when the lyrics are ba...

Doja Cat went full devil mode for “Paint The Town Red,” so we thought we’d dive straight into the chaos and see what the hell is going on. The crew tries to make sense of devil references, kidney-level anatomy, and why she’s only letting us watch her eat exactly ten more times. We also pitch a new T-shirt slogan, debate whether anyone actually looks better bald, and prove once again that four idiots can overthink ...
Want to request a song? Tell us your rating? Send us a Text Message right now! In this episode of 1001 Songs That Make You Want To Die, the boys take flight—literally and metaphorically—as they dive headfirst into R. Kelly’s delusional gospel-ballad-turned-Olympic-theme, “I Believe I Can Fly.” From Space Jam nostalgia to the harsh reality of sex crimes, Chibbs, Bevo, and Dan Southern unravel the bizarre lyrics, ridiculous metaphors, and the twisted irony of a convicted criminal writing about...
Want to request a song? Tell us your rating? Send us a Text Message right now! Taylor Swift’s new song “Wood” has arrived — and the boys are asking the big questions: Is it about love? Superstition? Or… Travis Kelce’s actual wood? 🌲😳 Join Chibbs, Bevo, Gav, and Mad Dog as they unpack every ridiculous lyric, dissect the erection metaphors, and debate whether Taylor’s officially gone full Katy Perry. From Daisy mutilation to redwood comparisons, this one spirals faster than Donald Duck in a f...

Was It Must Have Been Love by Roxette really a heartbreaking ballad… or the world’s most elegant song about farts? 💨 In this episode of 1001 Songs That Make You Want To Die, the boys dive into Roxette’s biggest hit, famous from Pretty Woman. We uncover: The lost Christmas version of the song 🎄 Why it might secretly be about prostitutes & noxious gas How the lyrics are mistranslated into unintentional comed...
Want to request a song? Tell us your rating? Send us a Text Message right now! Let Her Cry was one of the biggest hits of the 90s — but does it actually hold up, or is it just a sloppy, tear-soaked mess? In this episode, we rip into Hootie & the Blowfish’s overblown ballad, from the melodramatic lyrics to the vocal delivery that made Darius Rucker a household name. Is this song a heartfelt classic, or the definition of cringe? Listen in as we tear it apart and decide whether Let Her Cry ...
Want to request a song? Tell us your rating? Send us a Text Message right now! Alex Warren tried to pour his heart into Ordinary — but did he just give us a beige anthem for the TikTok era instead? We pull apart the lyrics, the delivery, and the over-produced vibe to see why this song feels less “relatable” and more… painfully average. Join us as we debate whether Ordinary is a harmless pop track or an earworm that should’ve stayed on mute. 👉 New episodes every week. Don’t forget to rate, fo...
Want to request a song? Tell us your rating? Send us a Text Message right now! Naughty By Nature’s O.P.P was a 90s hip hop anthem — catchy, controversial, and confusing as hell. But what does O.P.P even mean, and does the song actually hold up? In this episode of 1001 Songs That Make You Want To Die, we break down the lyrics, the innuendo, and why this track had parents panicking while kids sang along without a clue. Expect comedy, wild tangents, and more shade than a bucket hat in 1991. 👉 F...

In this episode of 1001 Songs That Make You Want To Die, we tear apart the lyrics, debate the meaning, and ask if Dylan was a genius poet or just mumbling nonsense with a guitar. Expect comedy, hot takes, and a lot of shade thrown at one of the most “important” songs in music history. 👉 Follow us on socials:...
Want to request a song? Tell us your rating? Send us a Text Message right now! Golden – Huntr/xScore: 7.4 Huntr/x’s Golden arrives like a motivational poster you’d find hanging in a gym bathroom, but set to a synth line that sounds vaguely like it was borrowed from a video game character’s redemption arc. It’s a song that insists on optimism with the ferocity of a Labrador that’s just discovered a tennis ball. Musically, Golden shuffles between indie-pop earnestness and Spotify algorithm-fri...
Want to request a song? Tell us your rating? Send us a Text Message right now! Cry for You – SeptemberScore: 8.1 In 2006, Petra Marklund, better known by her Europop nom de guerre September, released Cry for You, a track that felt less like a song and more like a government-mandated vaccination against sadness. Somewhere between a breakup anthem and an IKEA flat-pack instruction manual for melancholy, the Swedish queen of cry-while-dancing gifted the world a chorus that managed to be both ni...

Keith Urban & Pink – One Too ManyScore: 3.4 It takes a certain kind of courage to title your duet One Too Many when the song itself sounds like it was written after exactly that number of beers. Keith Urban and Pink, two pop-country-adjacent titans, come together here not so much in harmony as in a musical custody battle over who can out-melodramatise the other. Spoiler: nobody wins. On paper, the song is abou...

Sabrina Carpenter — “Manchild” Pitchfork Score: 5.8 On “Manchild,” Sabrina Carpenter trades in her usual sugary pop flair for what feels like a subtweet set to music. The song drips with sarcasm, which is fitting, because it sounds like it was written directly after seeing an ex-boyfriend post a thirst trap captioned “rise and grind.” Carpenter takes aim at the boy-men of the world: guys who Venmo you $7.43 for h...
