Barenaked ABCs (Alphabetical Barenaked [Ladies] Catalog

Listen as we talk about this song that is completely about positivity and optimism.  Shoot… just blew out my sarcasm filter.  Well, listen to this week’s episode on “Yes! Yes!! Yes!!!” while I get it fixed. Stop If You’ve Heard This One Before Play Everything for Everyone (Lansing, MI  2/12/04) The Meaning Behind The Song: Yes Yes Yes by Barenaked Ladies – Old Time Music

As we hit the end of the first season of our podcast, I guess you could say that we are almost ready to “Wind It Up”.  But helping us in the finishing stretch this week is our friend, Erik Butterworth.  But will he wind up liking the song? https://soundcloud.com/user-946961552/episode-298-wind-it-up?si=352ce92b4a944a7ea0797d69b890d47b&utm_source=clipboard&utm_medium=text&utm_campaign=social_sharing Official Video Fan Contest video All New Revue Noah Ginex’s contribution: Noah’s Remix https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1V90glDiq_B2YFCgAVN_6gGOxw2A-hGxZ?usp=sharing Bathroom Sessions Sirius XM  Simlish version Ships and Dip V

We don’t have a guest this week, but we did have someone join in to the discussion halfway through the episode. Who could it be? Listen in as we discuss “Who Can It Be Now?”, BNL’s “cover” of the Men At Work song from their live album in 2015 from their Red Rocks album. https://soundcloud.com/user-946961552/episode-294-who-can-it-be-now?si=1f394729256c4dee90663c8f2df66e1f&utm_source=clipboard&utm_medium=text&utm_campaign=social_sharing

We must live in the South Africa, because it is getting warmer, but it is Christmas time again.  I’m not really sure how this works or why it keeps happening.  I mean, I know life goes faster as you age, but this is getting ridiculous.  Well, anyway, this week our “supergroup” discusses the BNL cover of the 80’s original supergroup. Do we spread the love or Hater-Aid?   https://soundcloud.com/user-946961552/episode-65-do-they-know-its-christmas Live video version (don’t be fooled… it says “Christmastime” but it is the right video)    Bryant Park New York Christmas tree lighting  Jason Lee’s skate song in Video Days  Appearance  Kevin on Gord Downie’s The Secret Path  https://www.samaritanmag.com/news/gord-downies-secret-path-project-support-truth-reconciliation-efforts  Finding Chloe podcast:   https://www.cbc.ca/radio/findingcleo Ok… here is the list of every cover of this song I could find.  Enjoy!  Versions  “Do They Know It’s Christmas?” was re-recorded three times: in   1989: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wMOl9PNKbyE  2004: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=amDcb7yjL94  2014: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-w7jyVHocTk  Air Supply (2009)  – THEY’RE BACK!  And yes, it is Air Supply as we know them.  And this is glorious.     https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=n6Jn4Tmir3M  Badly Drawn Boy (2010) – slow, intimate, and acoustic.  Done for AV Undercover   Barenaked Ladies  (2004) – https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lOfrXJu8XSw  Bouncing Souls and Weston (1994) – african drums with heavy metal and punk (WHAT?!)  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uggdaiuQyJE&feature=youtu.be   Dance Aid  (1994)   really fast techno   https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oyVzSrLozTM&feature=youtu.be   De Toppers (2006)  – Ok… imagine that George Michael wanted to be cheesy on purpose and made a video to go with it filmed at Disney in Santa business suits.  it is well sung but oh my!  https://youtu.be/sZ5-bYrPJ6k   Echoing Green (1999) –  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Wsyen2xoorM     Wonder what it would sound like with new age-y music in background and a “not quite Donny Ozmond”, waiting for a nice massage, but then want to turn it techno and dance on that massage table… that’s what you get here.   Erika Scherlin (2013) Calypso Lounge  https://www.whosampled.com/cover/523194/Erika-Scherlin-Do-They-Know-It%27s-Christmas%3F-Band-Aid-Do-They-Know-It%27s-Christmas%3F/  Far & Chino Moreno (1997) –  I don’t like this… badly sung and it was a slow punk version https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Mka-bVLPPeA  Fucked Up (2010) – Heavy metal but they seem to think that long long feedback is what makes something heavy metal   https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jd4RFPPYxp8&feature=youtu.be   The Genuine Solutions Group (2010) –  a not quite as good as the original attempt to raise money   Glee Cast Version (2011)  Howard Carpendale (2001) – It sounds like David Hasselhoff decided to cover this song.   https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=O1ep4tkBGBU  Music Box Mania – just what you would expect (https://www.whosampled.com/cover/629425/Music-Box-Mania-Do-They-Know-It%27s-Christmas-Band-Aid-Do-They-Know-It%27s-Christmas%3F/   Rainbow Trust Children’s Company (2010) – not bad but I would only buy it if I knew the group   Richard Cheese Version (2006)  Shirley Clamp (2004) – https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=V-xdpVq2ysQ   want to hear a disco-y techno-y aughts version?   Slade (1985) – https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UFpOqxf4dH4   (think Christmas-y Run Runaway)… it’s actually pretty cool  Spitting Image – https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DMjI_1FRYgI    British satirical puppet show Spitting Image spoofs the Band Aid & USA For Africa singles, proclaiming their fear of Bob Geldof.  Stunned Stylz (2001) – Electronica Dance remix… ugh   https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2-iAHE2Ix0o&feature=youtu.be  Temperance (1995) – Happy Techno… think “Neverending Story 33 1/3” but played at 45.
