Episode 502-Saigon Kick-The Lizard

This week on America’s Podcast, the gang is back with Guest Travis Perrotta to take a deep dive into the slippery world of Saigon Kick’s iconic album The Lizard. Was Matt Kramer the best vocalist for them? Or was he just the lizard king who could do anything? These burning questions are tackled with the kind of wit and wisdom you’d expect from a group who likely argued over the pronunciation of "Saigon" for at least ten minutes before recording. Tracks of the Week brought the heat: Marc shook things up with Shake the Tree by INXS, proving that even Aussie pop-rock can branch out. Mooger got introspective with Rain Will Fall by I Mother Earth—because what’s a podcast without at least one guy going existential? Travis lit it up with Burning Like a Flame—clearly a man who’s ready to burn his way into the power ballad hall of fame. And Jerry blacked out entirely, choosing Black Out In The Red Room by Love/Hate, a song so wild it should come with a warning label. As always, they sign off with a classic gem of wisdom: "Play in the sun like a lizard!" Because if The Lizard taught us anything, it’s that rock ’n’ roll is best served sunbaked, slightly sweaty, and maybe a little weird. See you next week, podcast pals!
