At some point while listening to this I found myself standing in my kitchen, laughing so hard I was crying. hardest i've laughed in a WHILE

As a german when the friends noted that she was singing in german i tried to understand her. Completly unpossible on the first listen. I am relistening now and i understood two of the words kind of. its wild

This was a total joy! I am completely entranced and intrigued by the Least Wanted bit. It’s a perfect representation of a dissociative episode. It’s a B- shoebox diorama. It’s a Small World-esque ride in a boat on a track taking its captive audience from scene to scene. I think the harp player and the accordionist are both on the boat with you. The yodeling lady never appears; her voice is always in the rafters.

I tried to get my friends to listen to that song back in the ‘90s. It took like an hour to download. No one else thought it was as funny as I did. Thank you for the validation.

I am in tears, this podcast is too beautiful for this sinful earth

I laughed so hard my husband came to check on me. All I could say was “cowboys and holiday music”

Angelica

This is great! Probably wasn't the best idea to listen to it at work though. I could not stop laughing

I have listened to this no less than 4 times already. This is GOLD.

David Wallace

this is the perpetual oratorio to me

Daniel Letourneau

Thank you for bringing this into my life. Podcast of the year. That's Vernon Reid from Living Colour playing the guitar on the Most Wanted song!

I have already now introduced the Most Unwanted Song to several friends and listened to some of Dave Soldier's other works. Apparently dude is legit??? Has played with John Cale and Mo Tucker and Henry Threadgill??? Anyway, the Most Unwanted Song is my favorite song of the year, thank you.

Genuinely crying laughing listening to Austin not be able to make it through the most unwanted song description. Extremely excited for the next 30 minutes of this podcast.

Imogen Moffatt

Call me someone who spent her teens listening to longwinded folks songs and The Fiery Furnaces, but I don't hate? the most unwanted song?

Michael Rebok

I never heard music that made me dizzy before. Thanks for finding it!

Miranda Steel

This is beautiful, truly

Jack Blair

David Todd

This destroyed me. So funny.

“What’s wrong?” EVERYTHING

There was a classic This American Life about this! https://www.thisamericanlife.org/88/numbers/act-two-1

Is the man in the most desired song doing a bad Tom Waits? Edit: It was a bad Springsteen. Also the best part of the least desirable song was the rapper/opera Henny Penny
