Mark And Sarah Talk About Songs

Welcome to the first episode of our new music game show, Mark and Sarah Quiz About Songs! Play along with three of our listeners as they try to guess the hits of 1991.

Look, we're not saying that Patty Griffin makes the perfect music for your tailgating party, but we ARE saying that her song "Making Pies" epitomizes her gift for condensing an entire life into four minutes. Come cry with us, sigh with us, and talk about potato salad that makes you die with us. Our intro is by Andrew Byrne, and our outro is by Sam Cooke. Want to leave us a voicemail?

The legendary "Ladies First" gets us talking about how Queen Latifah can apparently do everything, and how both she and co-star Monie Love were fully formed artists from the jump. We also discuss duet partners who balance each other, lyrics that footnote themselves, and the appropriate moment to punch somebody in the face. Our intro is by Andrew Byrne, and our outro is by Def Jef. Want to leave us a voicemail? Just call 646-389-0767!

Because we believe in angels, we're talking about Dolly Parton. More specifically, we're talking about seven of her less-remembered songs that deserve more attention, including a startling ballad from the '60s, a zippy kiss-off from the 2000s, and a late-'80s ode to cowboys with fine asses. Our intro is by David Gregory Byrne, and our outro is by Patsy Cline. Want to leave us a voicemail? Just call 646-389-0767!

Thanks to "This Time Around," the jangly jam by '90s alt-rockers Luna, we're digging into bands worth loving for 25 years, our grandmothers' strangest advice, and our favorite concert memories. Our intro is by David Gregory Byrne, and our outro is by The Stills. Want to leave us a voicemail? Just call 646-389-0767!

While talking about "Ride Wit Me," we realize that Nelly can basically do everything. From poetic flourishes to inspiring biography to exceptional celebrity connections, we're discussing it all! 'Round about minute 17, we're also losing our fool minds. Our intro is by Laura Barger and Jack Baldelli, and our outro is by Duran Duran. Want to leave us a voicemail? Just call 646-389-0767!

Talking about Marvin Gaye's "I Heard It Through the Grapevine" means talking about how covers can redefine songs, and how Gaye himself can always make us feel things. We also navigate Mark's disdain for the movie Practical Magic and once again let ourselves revel in Pip shade. Our intro is by Andrew Byrne, and our outro is by Marvin Gaye.

We're joined by special guest Chris Barron (of Spin Doctors) to talk about "Some Enchanted Evening," a perfect song tucked inside the musical South Pacific.

We've both had Sinead O'Connor's album "I Do Not Want What I Haven't Got" stuck in our heads for 30 years, but ranking it proved challenging. How do we choose among so many evocations of pain, love, and three babies? Our path includes political rage, feelings you can't understand until you're older, and, of course, and the William Tell overture. Our intro is by Andrew Byrne, and our outro is by the Grimethorpe Colliery Band, as heard on the Brassed Off soundtrack. Want to leave us a voicemail? Just call 646-389-0767!

The passionate throwback pop that Yola delivers on "Faraway Look" gets us talking about how stories dictate performances, how to sneak stupid stuff into serious moments, and how to suffer with toast. And thanks to a patron's request, we're also talking about Annie Lennox's "Little Bird" video and the many costumes therein. Our intro is by David Gregory Byrne, and our outro is by Dusty Springfield. Want to leave us a voicemail? Just call 646-389-0767!
