    Y.M.C.A. by Village People
    Dec 22 2022
    Y.M.C.A....an absolutely loony song. Yet also a generational anthem. And also, a red herring, because this episode is not actually about Y.M.C.A. This episode is actually about a shocking reveal that will change the future of this podcast and possibly the world. Goodbye, for now.  You can watch the video version of this episode HERE!

  • 'Sugar' by Maroon 5 (w/ Ena Da)

    'Sugar' by Maroon 5 (w/ Ena Da)
    Dec 15 2022
    Evan & Andrew are joined by Ena Da to discuss the detestable but also detestably catchy song Sugar. There are just so many problems. Not least, how do we understand "sugar" and "red velvet" in light of recent illuminations of Adam Levine's idea of romance? More fundamentally, is Maroon 5 even still a band? Or just five guys cosplaying as a rock band while they sing along to Mike Posner studio tracks? And why are they giving themselves out as wedding presents to unsuspecting Los Angelenos? You can watch the video version of this episode HERE! Guest: Ena Da Walk-in music: 'The Door' by George Jones; 'Sugar Sugar' by Wilson Pickett; 'Take On Me' by A'ha.  Follow Punch Up The Jam on Twitter and Instagram Get the punch-ups for yourself and support the show on Patreon Like the show?

  • 'One Headlight' by The Wallflowers

    'One Headlight' by The Wallflowers
    Dec 8 2022
    Nepotism babies are so hot right now! But have they…always been?!? Evan & Andrew discuss the hottest nepotism baby of the 90s outside of Socks Clinton, Evan desperately and fruitlessly attempts to get Andrew to stop talking about Bob Dylan and start talking about  ̶J̶a̶k̶o̶b̶ ̶D̶y̶l̶a̶n̶  The Wallflowers instead. But the sonorous tones of the organ on ‘One Headlight’ keeps drawing Andrew back to Dylan the elder like moth to a flame. Andrew resorts to the only revenge available to him in this format, which is the most brutal $5 segment that has ever been recorded on our podcast.  You can watch the video version of this episode HERE! Walk-in music: ‘Backup Plan’ by Maya Hawke; ‘Their Hearts Were Full of Spring’ by The Four Freshmen.  Follow Punch Up The Jam on Twitter and Instagram Get the punch-ups for yourself and support the show on Patreon Like the show?
