This week we're joined by Pepper from The Rushmore Podcast and Raelyn Nelson from the Raelyn Nelson Band to change the format. Well really they're on to do my work. Red and I sit back as Raelyn and Pepper go head to head to see which one of them brought the worst 90's country song. Does a song about colored clothing have what it takes to beat an upbeat song about heartache and the human anatomy. Who's got the title this week between: Lorrie Morgan: Something in Red vs Billy Ray Cyrus: Achy Break...

When you think of the Godzilla and Addams Family franchises who comes to mind? Puff Daddy and MC Hammer of course. Together these two created some of the worst music ever written for movies. It's easy to see that neither one knows anything about the movie they're singing about! This week Tony from Hack the Movies joins the show to try and figure out why anyone would consider these songs good enough for any movie. Puff Daddy: Come With Me (Godzilla) vs MC Hammer: Addams Family Groove (Addams Fami...

It's always disappointing when you see bands that you love or grew up with putting out brand new music that just sucks.

You get to decide between: Foo Fighters: Chasing Birds vs Alice Cooper: Social Debris Leave us a voicemail 910-370...

This week the guys decide to listen to some newer rap music and holy shit was that a bad decision. Things get uncomfortable for Red as he thinks Branden crosses a line bringing a song about a certain kink performed by a woman trying to sound like a child. Meanwhile, Reds song features the worst vocals and the lamest attempt at covering up said vocals with a shit ton of effects. Honestly I don't think a single word is actually said in it. But does it have what it takes to take home the title this...

Thanks to an unknown listener and a suggestion from Teresa we go down a rabbit hole of South African vs Australian rap to see what is more annoying; a rap duo consisting of a f...

This week Red comes back on the show to dive into some of the worst rock cover songs that 2020 has to offer. Branden discovers that one of the shows former contestants found a way to turn the song that competed even worse. Even Les Claypool gets thrown into the mix to help find out what is more upsetting; a note for note cover featuring someone talented that barely shows up, or what happens when you take an already slow song, make it even slower and sound like its being sung from a coffin. You g...

This week is our last entry for Shitty Song of the Year as Branden and Red dive into the worst rap songs of 2020. Well, Branden finds one of the worst rap songs and Red gets lucky phoning it in with a song he never even heard. But still its worth going up to compete so we'll let that slide. And speaking of letting things slide (continuously if you're Drake) which one of these shit heaps deserves to move on to the main competition next week between: Rich the Kid feat NBA Young Boy: Nobody Safe vs...
