Hey Kidz! Here we are again, for what seems like the 42nd time. Oddly enough, it IS the 42nd time. How can you you miss us if we won't go away? This APEisode is a no challenge zone. That's right, this one has all the calories, none of the challenges. Rayce gets going on a couple of topics, and he just won't shut up. After some much needed Nestkeepi…

WELCOME (BACK if it applies) to the pageantry, the celebration, the festival, the meandering that is YOU SHOULD KNOW THIS SONG! This time we're gonna brave the question "who is the father of heavy metal guitar?" We're not answering it, but more talking about it and passing it along to you. So get into the discussion! The playlist for this APEisode …

With all respect to John Sebastian and "Gabe Kotter" we're saying 'Welcome Back'. We were recording outdoors 'Late in the Evening', just poddin' along, when a sudden and totally unexpected rainstorm hit us. After a little natural panic, we hustled the equipment indoors with (thankfully) no damage, and we finished up inside. We appreciate your under…

40 APEisodes! We're getting (already were) up there, at least in APEisode age! Where does the time go...? Well, mostly it goes into editing. That, and trying to remember why we came into the room in the first place. But that's not what we're here to talk about. As always, you can find the playlist for this APEisode here. This week we start of with …

We're out in Rayce's Oasizzz doing our first evening/sunset cruise. And this whole 40s 'thing' has the MixedAPEZ doing Mixed Upz! I mean Jack White is 49! WWHHAAT?! PLAYLIST gonna be great! Get it here. Anyway, after a little Nest keeping we bring you challenges and merriment from Chicago, Moon Martin, Robert Palmer, Kansas, James Taylor, Squeeze, …

Hey there groovy peoples, and all the other groovy folks! Are we back to inflict more musical pain to your brain? Nah, we just want to share our particular brand of weird again with those of you that enjoy that kind of thing (maybe you should see someone about that). This APEisode's playlist can be found here. This APEisode is (almost) all about th…

IN A WORLD WHERE THE APEZ TALK FOR WELL OVER AN HOUR, COMES AN APEISODE THAT....maybe you don't have to listen to in 3 parts. ARE YOU READY TO RUUUUMBBUUULLL??? Weird to stop talking well before an hour, but here it is! Never fear! We still manage to fill the airwaves with plenty of our drivel. Check out the songs from this APEisode HERE on the pla…

We're here for APEisode36, and WE'RE NOT SORRY! You can grab the playlist for this APEisode HERE! We keep trying to shorten the APEisodes, but we don't seem to be able to get there. What's an APEZ to do? We're going to start off with some PRIME CUTZ. We've got Porno for Pyros, (no, the band. Behave!), MotorHead, and even the King in this segment wi…

This time we talk about a few things in the Uncontrolled Substance style, while trying to keep the length of the show a bit more controlled. See what you think. The playlist is available here. We'll introduce some new APEZ family members, and Reid of APEZ has added an easter-egg of sorts to the APEisode. See if you notice.....🤣🤣 Many years ago some…

We give our recent guest Wayne of APEZ, his first correction. Then we're all about Scandal, UFOs, and Bad Motor Scooter Queens in Dire Straights, when we do our ASK AND YE SHALL DECIEVE challenge. And Pretenders mix in with Tennessee Ernie, Sweet, and Styx. What a MIX! Speaking of the MIX, find the playlist here We play TUNE THAT NAME, and STARTING…

We're back at it, but with a little less silliness (kind of). We're still APEZ, but we all lost an icon with the passing of John Mayall. We wanted to convey the enormity of his contribution to Rock and Roll. Yes, he was largely a Blues and Jazz musician. However, the number of R&R musicians to pass through his bands is staggering. We even have a sp…

Another brilliant, scintillating, informative... OK, let's not kid ourselves, we missed a bunch of these REALLY EASY clues. At least we got a great playlist out of this (available here). We're not the brightest bananas in the bunch some days. But we are havin' fun and nobody hits a home run every time, although even a stopped clock...you know how i…

Welcome into our space, and PLEAZE help us WELCOME our very first MIXEDAPEZ guest. Wayne, a friend of the podcast is sitting in. We asked him to share his thoughts on the more METAL side of ROCK, but he's good for anything that get's you going. Of course, we still have a playlist, and you can find it here. We start off with some thoughts on a coupl…

What's good MIXEDAPEZ world? Ready for some YOU SHOULD KNOW THIS SONG? You can grab the playlist to APEisode 30 HERE. We packed in a lot for the joyride playing ROUTE 66. We're traveling with Bob Seeger, ZZ Top, The Dead, Steely Dan, George Thorogood, and The Good Rats, to places like Miami, Negril, Hollywood, Detroit, Frisco Bay, Santa Fe, and of …

What's transpiring APEZ peoplez? Welcome to more of YOU SHOULD KNOW THIS SONG, on MIXEDAPEZ RADIDIO, from Rayce'z Oasiz! Aside from the fact we've got playlistz now......HAVE YOU HEARD?? PLAYLISTZ! Playlist for this APEisode is available here. After some "Jane you ignorant slut", and nezt-keeping about Uriah Heep and about Love N Rockets, it's on w…

Welcome to APEisode 28 of YOU SHOULD KNOW THIS SONG! We start off with some big news We have PLAYLISTS for EVERY APEisode! you can find the one for this episode here. We're kind of a big deal now. And after we bellow about playlists for a while we roll on. Reid recalls the band Trapeze, leading Rayce into his mea culpa about not knowing his back en…

ReidApez has a dumb road trip game idea for the listeners. His first dumb idea maybe? Hhhmmm....The actual show is MixedUpz. It's rock challenges in a blender!! From Hollywood Vampires, to People Who Died, to Dead Milkmen, and Joe's Garage. Get the playlist HERE, or at www.youshouldknowthissong.com/APEisodes From The Beginning, there's No New Tale …

We're back to business (APEZ Businezz). After going blabber only in our 25th, we're tossing challenges again in APEisode 26. And there's a bunch! BREAKING NEWS! Going forward, all our APEisodes will have an accompanying playlist. Find this episodes playlist HERE. We are also filling the old APEisodes as well. Starting w Prime Twizt & Shout, we incl…

We can hardly believe it's our 25th APEZiversary. To celebrate, we changed it up a bit. This APEisode is all talk. (All the APEisodes are all talk, how does this differ?). But this is different. Really! For this go round there are no challenges. We wanted to share the kind of thing we do when we're just sitting around blabbing (like we do on every …

So, what's up in APEisode 24, you ask? Well, Rayce has a Cicada public safety announcement. Reid went to see the MJ stage show and his wife says HE has something to say about it. Welcome new Certified Official APEZ Member Amity-Of-Apez! Get your official membership, just by stickin' your nose into our business. We'd love nothing more! Musically, we…

Hello, and welcome to APEisode # 23. We're outdoors, ya know. Starting with Prime, we hit (and miss) on a couple of lesser known deep cuts from Status Quo, String Driven Thing, and The Rainmakers, among some more well known PRIME cuts from Cake, Toto, and Joe Jackson, just naming a few. Then on to Starting Lines w Floyd, Hagar, Montrose, and appare…

We are again in the wild for APEizode 22. Are you joining us? We are in the outdoorz for this APEizode. After a LONG intro, we finally get down to businezz. APEZ businezz, that iz. After shout-outs to worthy fellow APEZ, we cover some correctionz and clarificationz. And then we start on our most MixedUpz MixedApez antics yet. No format, just a comb…

Fresh air, sunshine, and shouting over the cicadas! (JK!). We are outdoors in our favorite setting, as it should be! We've got shout outs to FLOMO rock show, Hello Newman, Doorward, Dog-A-Boni, and all of the MIXEDAPEZ listening out there! Hey, we even announce a new official APEZ crew member too! Paula of APEZ! After all that working up an appetit…

Somehow we've managed to create 20 of these and inflict them on the planet! (Planet Of MixedApez??) Celebrate with all of the MixedApez for a minute, as we play on, talk on, laugh on, ramble on, carry on, babble on, and game on with THE PREMIER Rock music challenge, commentary, and factoids podcast, You Should Know This Song! We've been doing the p…

Our latest APEisode is almost out of the teens, but don't think that means we're gonna grow up anytime soon. We begin with Starting Lines, offering only the first few words as a challenge. Nick Lowe, Pearl Jam, Kansas, Stealer's Wheel, RHCP, Iggy Pop, and others are included in the clues, and we keep em flowing fast and furious. Our second segment …

This APEisode, the APEZ joy ride down Route 66 stopping in on the places in songs from CCR, Beatles, Cracker, 3 Dog Night, Wings, Mountain and more. Who knew Route 66 would go Back In The USSR, to Katmandu, and Spain?!?!?! Then in Prime Cuts it's the expected hilarity and stupidity you've come to know and love. And maybe some talk about songs you l…

If only we'd learned the truth at seventeen... then we might not be bringing you this delightful new 17th APEisode. We start with some MIXEDAPEZ Twist & Shout. A twisted segment where the song comes first, and the LYRICS are the answer. Frankly, when I was 17, I THOUGHT the lyrics WERE the answer. Either way, we've got songs by Bob Marley & the Wai…

Sweet Sixteen with MixedApez at Rayce's Oasiz! How can it go wrong? You'll see. Rayce makes up the word BLAZZ! It's a keeper! Let's play ASK AND YE SHALL DECEIVE with Joe Jackson, Frankie Goes To Hollywood, Deep Purple, Jolene, more! And while we're at it, how about a new game STARTING LINES including Talking Heads, Bad Co, Hollies, Bowie, and so o…

COME ON IN! Welcome to Rayce’z Oasiz! MixedApez are slinging another heapin’ helpin’ of song challenges, BS, and weirdity (Yep! Made up word. That tracks!) on You Should Know This Song. APEisode 15 has us chatting through the acts above as well as ABC, No Doubt, U2, Genesis, The Buggles, Bruce Springsteen, Cheap Trick, Crowded House, Ministry, Bill…

Hey there. Welcome! Is this your first time? Don't be scared, we're friendly APEZ. Weird and friendly! Very weird, but still friendly. We've returned with more commentary and silliness about Rock music and lyrics. This APEisode begins with our Ask & You Shall Deceive segment. We include lyrics from CCR, the Byrds, Toto, The Blues Brothers, Tommy Tu…

HEY! We just couldn't resist getting in a little MIDWEEK MAYHEM, so we whipped up a mini-episode to mention a bunch of bands that "YOU SHOULD KNOW" touring in the next couple of months. We'll run through part of the summer's touring announcements that MAY be showing up in a venue near you. And just for fun we toss out a challenge to all of you, wit…

We are still stupefied by the fact that Judas Priest has been making METAL albums for 50 years. On the other hand, we're not very smart and neither one of counts very well. In APEisode 13, we open with our Ask and You Shall Deceive segment. Discussing songs by John Hiatt, Counting Crows, REM, Led Zeppelin, Eddie Money, and even Ronnie Spector, we c…

It took a minute, but we got Prime, Bean Enchiladas, And Quick Hitz to reward your patience. In this APEisode we explore keeping our heads on straight while life rears up and calls for attention. We swing through with some corrections, PRIME CUTS featuring the likes of John Mayer, The Knack, Poco, Gene Vincent, Rage Against The Machine, They Might …

Hello again! Apparently, he's SCRUMPTRULESCENT, and I'm fine, but not quite dandy! With 'nods' to Will, and the best ever, George, we kick off APEisode 11. We offer a NEW segment, PRIME "Twist and Shout". In the new segment, the challenger has to come up with a couple of lines of lyrics, prompted by a song name. Not always as easy as it sounds. We …

Welcome to our 10th APEisode. We kick it off discussing the 2024 nominees for the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame. Plenty of entertainers, and plenty of opinions. Nominees include Cher; Foreigner; Peter Frampton; Jane's Addiction; Dave Matthews Band; A Tribe Called Quest; Kool & the Gang; and 8 other acts. Wherever you stand, the vote is open to fans unti…

Who knew? As old as we are, (VERY) we can still learn something. We go long in this one, and WAY far afield. Beginning with YOU SHOULD KNOW THIS SONG, we cover Mojo Nixon stories, discuss the ?first? 'boy band', wonder about Paul Westerberg, and a bunch more music related rambles. Moving to Quick Hits, there's a brief discussion on the song writing…

We haven't been able to determine WHY, but apparently some of you want to know how we became MixedApez. I think we were just born this way, but for everyone who wanted deets, here's a bit of MixedApez Lore. This APEisode starts with the segment we've come to call 'Your Mother Should Know'. We play around with lyrics from Bob Marley, 3rd Eye Blind, …

How can you miss us if we won't go away? We are back with APEisode 7 of our MIXEDAPEZ challenges. We have 3 great segments for you this time, starting with our "Prime" challenge, YOU SHOULD KNOW THIS SONG, then we roll right into ASK & YE SHALL BE DECEIVED. Lastly we finish with a little bit of QUICK HITS. Challenges include lyrics from all kinds o…

Welcome to our little corner of the rainforest. We begin the episode correcting SEVERAL mistakez we've made since we started. After all we're only human, wait, APEZ are simians, right? Whichever, we've erred, and we're sorry. Then we launch into another Bean Enchiladas segment (OH NO!) . We claim it's misheard lyrics, but it's really just an excuse…

Welcome back to another journey with MIXEDAPEZ. This APEisode starts off with our YOU SHOULD KNOW THIS SONG challenge and then we take a hard left back to 1973, to revisit the music released that year. The APEisode was recorded near the end of 2023 while we still building content, and we looked at albums that turned 50 years old. If you want to fol…

Surprisingly, we're still here. This episode begins with more of our "Prime" challenge, YOU SHOULD KNOW THIS SONG, and we discuss everything from Three Dog Night through the Amboy Dukes to Blondie and even Shel Silverstein's contribution to Rock & Roll. There's also a shoutout to the old heads in the Chicagoland area. We also debut Your Mother Shou…

Join us for a 3rd foray into MIXEDAPEZ territory. We start off with a segment called Bean Enchiladas. Named for the misheard lyrics to "The Pina Colada" song, the segment explores some VERY SILLY misheard or mis-interpreted lyrics. We follow with a ramble on the unsung heroes of the Motown era, known to some as the Fabulous Funk Brothers. Lastly, w…

We're back with Episode 2. We show off the Quick Hits Challenge for the first time. It's a rapid fire segment. We also premier Uncontrolled Substance, a chance for us to rant and ramble about any musical subject we want. This time it's our FAVORITE live albums. Come on and listen, we're not gonna stop (talkin).…

The FIRST episode of You Should Know This Song. We challenge each other with Rock music lyrics and comment on the music we know and love. This is just one of several different challenge formats we've been exploring. Come check it out!mixedapez tarafından oluşturuldu
