058 - 3 Small Words (Josie and the Pussycats)

It took WAY more than 6 whole hours and 5 long days for us to get here, but in this FIFTY-EIGHTH episode of Popular Music: The Podcast, we go back to 2001 to cover the Josie and the Pussycats purrrfect hit, "3 Small Words." Steven talks about the history of the band (and their humble beginnings in the hamlet of Riverdale) while Analise breaks down how this chord progression works as a freaking PALINDROME!   No guilt. Only pleasure. Popular Music is a pop music podcast hosted by Steven Ray Morris and Analise Nelson. New episodes every Monday.
