2010.04.01 - Wedgied By April Fool's Zombies
Song: I Want You To Want Me Artist: Cheap Trick Album: Cheap Trick At Budokan [Live] Release: 1979 (1977)
I woke up this morning singing “I want you to want me… I need you to need me” and I have no idea why. I don’t listen to Cheap Trick, I didn’t recently watch 10 Things I Hate About You, and I dreamed of zombies last night. Nonetheless, I’ve been singing it all day and getting strange...

2010.03.17 - Song Wedgie Is Back Like A Vertebrae
Song: Hokus Pokus Artist: Insane Clown Posse Album: The Great Milenko Release: 1997
Like Violent J, Song Wedgie is back like a vertebrae! I’ve emerged from my long Song Wedgie coma. In honour of the previous stated lyric, the first entry of 2010 is ICP’s Hokus Pokus. Early this year, zoz was intiated into the Juggalo family by getting clocked in melon with a 2-liter of Faygo at the...

2009.10.15 - Wedgied By Beautiful Girls
Song: Beautiful Girls Artist: Van Halen Album: Van Halen II Release: 1979
Ah yeah! It’s been so long since I’ve had a Song Wedgie, but this song has hit me a few days in a row. This song is in heavy rotation on SiriusXM’s Classic Rewind. Though it has cheesy lyrics, Beautiful Girls contains one of Diamond Dave’s best screams.
The song was originally titled Bring on...

Enjoy! by The Descendents
Song Wedgie Hall of Fame
Song: Enjoy! Artist: The Descendents Album: Enjoy! Release: 1986
As kids, my brothers and I would sing this song all the time. Usually, after ripping a big fart. For reasons unknown, we made up are own lyrics: ‘Smell my fart - enjoy! Make the most of my butt-toast’ and ‘smell my fart and enjoy it’. Till this day I still sing this song with...

2009.08.27 - Wedgied By Somebody
Song: Use Somebody Artist: Kings of Leon Album: Only By The Night Release: 2009
From Jesus to Jonas… There is no reason for this wedgie - Kings of Leon have been the biggest disappointment(s) of 2009. They fucking sold-out: cut hair (check), clean shaven (check), make shitty music (check). If ‘somebody’ was used, it’s their fans from albums past. This album is...

Song: True Stories Artist: Datarock Album: Red Release: 2009
Norway’s Datarock makes no secret of its love for Talking Heads on the tribute track ‘True Stories’. But one can’t help wondering how many of today’s music fans can spot the song’s allusions. Take a shot at it anyway, and impress us with your intimate knowledge of Heads lore. Our informal math caught at least five song...

2009.08.23 - Wedgied Getting My Leather On
Song: Zero Artist: Yeah Yeah Yeahs Album: It’s Blitz! Release: 2009
The cover of the Yeah Yeah Yeah’s third LP It’s Blitz! features a striking high-speed camera-captured image of Karen O’s hand smashing a raw egg, sending its innards flying out in the shape of a Y. Karen O’s ‘Zero’ is an offer to us: to purposefully make ourselves blank slates—to assert agency in the...

2009.08.22 - Wedgied With Patience
Song: Patience Artist: Guns N’ Roses Album: G N’ R Lies Release: 1989
This might be my favorite Guns N’ Fuckin’ Roses song that isn’t on Appetite for Destruction. Any song with whistling is an instant song wedgie - just ask David Ryba. The seed was planted when I heard it at the bar.
The song peaked at number four on the Billboard Hot 100 singles chart. The...

Song: Little Miss Can’t Be Wrong Artist: Spin Doctors Album: Pocket Full of Kryptonite Release: 1993
I have no freakin’ idea why I was singing this song in the shower. Maybe because Allmusic describes the song as ‘incessantly catchy’. This single reached number 17 on the Billboard 100 and is credited for the commercial success of Pocket Full of Kryptonite. [Wikipedia]

2009.08.10 - Wedgied With A Hammer
Song: Help I’m Alive Artist: Metric Album: Fantasies Release: 2009
I’ve had this song in my head for at least 3 days now. Emily Haines’ voice is incredibly sexxxy in this cut. Any woman talking/singing about a hammer is a plus. Fantasies was released in Canada by Last Gang Records. Last Gang artist lineup includes MSTRKRFT, Chromeo, The New Pornographers, Crystal Castles,...

2009.08.06 - Wedgied In Bed
Song: Do Me! Artist: Bell Biv DeVoe Album: Poison Release: 1990
I think this song got me this morning because I was having sleepy-time fantasies about women I’ve never met. The morning wood prompted, ‘you can do me in the morning’, then escalated to my favorite line, ‘girl let your hair down, take off your clothes and leave on your shoes’. So ladiesman. Straight...

2009.08.06 - Wedgied By An Out of Work Actor
Song: Actor Out of Work Artist: St. Vincent Album: Actor Release: 2009
I’ve had this song stuck in my head for days now. It was the last song I heard before I got out of the Elemental. It was stuck in my head whilst taking me a dump. It was stuck whilst folding my clothes. It was in my head when I awoke the next morn. It was repeating so often that changed the lyrics to ‘an emo...

Song: Surrender Artist: Cheap Trick Album: Heaven Tonight Release: 1978
‘Surrender’ was the first Cheap Trick single to enter the Billboard Hot 100 chart, peaking at number 62. It is a late 1970s teen anthem, describing the relations between the baby boomer narrator and his G.I. generation parents. The narrator describes how his parents are weirder and hipper than many children would...

Song: Kingdom of Rust Artist: Doves Album: Kingdom of Rust Release: 2009
The title, Kingdom of Rust, brings me back to Detroit. Fuck calling it the ‘Renaissance City’ or the ‘Motor City’ - it’s the ‘Kingdom of Rust’. Once shiny and vibrant, the ‘Paris of the West’- it’s now the ‘Kingdom of Rust’. Substitute ‘blackbirds...

2009.07.30 - Wedgied By A Ghost
Song: Is There A Ghost Artist: Band of Horses Album: Cease To Begin Release: 2007
Right from the start this song sinks its hook into your grey matter - I could sleep…I could sleeeeeep. That’s it you’re done in by an Atomic Song Wedgie - where the elastic band of your tighty whiteys stretches from your ass crack to the crown of your head. Band of Horses owes me a jar of...

Song: Percussion Gun Artist: White Rabbits Album: It’s Frightening Release: 2009
An energetic indie-rock sextet, White Rabbits became an underground phenomenon upon the release of 2007’s Fort Nightly. Winning over fans with its energetic live shows — thanks in part to its unusual two-drummer lineup and tours with the likes of The Walkmen and Spoon. Intense rhythms and sweeping,...

Song: I’ve Seen All Good People Artist: Yes Album: The Yes Album Release: 1971
The first part of the song is likely based on the book ‘Through The Looking Glass’, the understood sequel to ‘Alice and Wonderland’ by Lewis Carroll. The second part, consists of many repetitions of the sentence ‘I’ve seen all good people turn their heads each day so satisfied...

Song: Mr. Brightside Artist: The Killers Album: Hot Fuss Release: 2004
Mr. Brightside is the last song you want to hear when going through a break-up, but its so g/d good you can’t help but listen to it. Oh, the nights spent at the bar with Brown Boy lamenting over failed relationships. Since going platinum, the Brandon Flowers has incited a few rivalries—most notably with The Bravery and...

Song: I’ve Got Friends Artist: Manchester Orchestra Album: Mean Everything To Nothing Release: 2009
Manchester Orchestra are bunch of Jesus Freaks from the ‘burbs of Atlanta. Like so many other heart-on-the-sleeve indie acts, Manchester Orchestra is more about a boy who created a band around a fixed idea — himself — than about a functioning band that already happened to exist....

Song: Pale Bride Artist: The Von Bondies Album: Love Hate Then Theres You Release: 2009
So far, the best album cover of 2009. Pale Bride is an infectious rock song but its not quite on par with ‘Been Swank’. You can hear Pale Bride on SiriusXM AltNation. On the evening of December 13, 2003, an altercation occurred between Stollsteimer and The White Stripes frontman Jack White during...

Song: Joker And The Thief Artist: Wolfmother Album: Wolfmother Release: 2006
This song’s intro transitions from the sounds of Boston to Queens of the Stone Age to Black Sabbath - a recipe for an Atomic Song Wedgie. Wolfmother blew my shoes at Lollapalooza few summers back and features a Fat drummer with a capital F. Their new album drops this Fall and hopefully it will be half as good...

Song: Hopesick Artist: Louis XIV Album: Slick Dogs and Ponies Release: 2009
I was working on my base and had the tune stuck in my head all day, but the only lyric running through my head was ‘a cigarette’. I couldn’t figure out what song it was. It finally dawned on me later in the day that it was Hopesick. I thought there was a line about a cigarette, but there isn’t.

Song: Bust A Move Artist: Young MC Album: Stone Cold Rhymin’ Release: 1989
I think what prompted this Song Wedgie, whilst sitting at a stop light, was Mike Collins’ rendition at Jeff’s Bucket Shop.
Young MC was actually born in London, England. He was also an accomplished songwriter, having co-written the hits ‘Wild Thing’ and ‘Funky Cold Medina’ for...

This just oozes cheese: her name, the song title, the album title, the g/d album cover.
This song brings me back to to Mt. Carmel’s Homecoming Dance in 1996. Theresa Wein dancing in her stocking feet in the middle of the dance floor, singing every lyric at the top of her lungs.

Song: Glory Days Artist: Bruce Springsteen Album: Born In The U.S.A Release: 1985
This song reminds me of my brother, Frankcis. He once had a walk-off hit in a beer league softball game. During the post-game celebration at the bar, we played Glory Days over and over again on the jukebox.
The single peaked at #5 on the Billboard Hot 100 pop singles charts in the summer of 1985. [Wikipedia]
