Episode description

It's time to dip your toes into "Dirty Water" - The Standells and their enduring 1965 hit, that is! We gab about the snotty vocals, their appearance on The Munsterswe rank the drum fills - and of course, we crack the code of the song's lyrics. The next version is by The Gantswho add fuzz and relocate the song to Miami. But they musta forgot to learn the song! The Apollos are some North Carolina kids who keep the song in Boston but their accents would rarely be heard in Southy! The song crossed the pond to Ol' Blighty when The Inmates authored a very Dr. Feelgood-y version. And finally, back to Boston, for a risible, post-World Series win  version by Red Sox pitcher Bronson Arroyo. Pee-yew - go jump in the Charles, Bronson!
