Starting Line Ups- Part Two

We're back with the second half of our deep dive into the music stylings of our favorite Bros.  Visit Part One for a peak at Team Fugate's eclictic mix.  Today, we're looking at the reigning Champs and their suprising collection of hits.

 #40- Chris E.

Often known for his bombastic rage, he channels that energy into his latest offering.  His first since his quadruple platinum album, "Eff your effing feelings, you effing eff", or "F-Cubed" as his fans have dubbed it. His latest, pushes his creativity to new heights.  He turned his big Craigslist purchase of an old soviet era tank into a substitute for all the percussion audio* on this album.  To accomplish this feat, he ended up firing a few thousand cannon rounds in the direction of Pittsburgh during the recording sessions.  It should come as no surprise that he swapped all audio from the cymbals by ferociously dip spitting into old tin trash cans.  

*The cowbell remains.

Track List:

1. Four Months, Three Sets of Clubs

2. Easy Bake Dutch Oven

3. Hundred Dollar Cheese Cake

4. Ringer, Ringer, Hot Wing Dinner

5. B.L.R.E.A.M. (Busch Light Rules Everything Around Me)

6. Grizzly Can Jam

7. Dick

8. Belt Buckle Bottle Opener

9. Just Another Jamboree Two-Hundered and Forty Pack 

A must have staple for any collection:

#8- Mike E.

Initially banned in most stores ending in "Mart", this gem works hard to get its explicit rating.  Other publications marveled at the pure filthiness of his deli menu/ Kamasutra allegories.  

Sample Lyrics:

Yo! Bum Rush

The Cafeteria

Hit that Salad Bar

Like a Slip and Slide

Dive Face First

Into That 

Sloppy.

Open.

Face.

Pastrami Sandwich.

Hold The Pickle

Hold it Some More

Just Desserts

Don't play this around your parents, kids, pastors or with your windows down:

#43- Chad L.

Team Erno's backstop won the 1983 Star Search with what turned out to be the first track of this Office Space meets a Casio on Steroids mash up.  He landed in the top ten of Casey Caseum's top 40 for 58 consecutive weeks, hitting #1 with half of his tracks on this all time great.

Track Listings:

1. Peanut Butter Copier-Jam Time

2. The Memo

3. Cubicle Cluster F

4. Case of the Mondays

5. Wh-wh-wh-white Out!

6. Flair

7. Swingline Fire Drill

8. My Two Bobs

9. Jump! (To Conclusions)

10. The TPS Report Shuffle

11. Two Chicks

12. Michael Bolton

Do yourself a favor and buy two copies:

#27- Dave W.

Cobled together during a bender disguised as a golf trip, this frantic, high energy hair metal/ 80's era hip hop combo shouldn't work.  Zip, Zap, Rap had a huge underground following, but music execs could not get behind the concept of the record.  Credit the Teen Vogue centerfold for launching this album into the mainstream. 

Sample Lyrics:

DEVISTATING!

That's who I am

Breaking hearts and 

Healing spines

Zippity do dah

Zappity day

Emancipate my pants

I'm a Turntable Slave

No need to pour some sugar on this album, it's already TOO SWEET!:

#22- Dave R.

He was a staple at landscape contractor trade shows, until he was discover when video of him singing an a cappella cover of Presidents of the United States' "Peacehes", while chainsawing a floor model dump truck in half went viral.  This album marked his triumphant return to the spotlight after his Behind the Music special landed him in rehab due to a Joose dependency.  Despite the clearly plagiarized lyrics from established artists, this album still reached the highest level of success, going triple platinum. 

Sample Lyrics: 

Faaaaaaaaaaaaather..

Why do you always send the poor?

One!

Something's got to give

Two!

Mmmmmmmmuther

Do you want to find hell with me?!

I'm just sitting 

In my car

Waiting for...

BLAST OFF

IT'S PARTY TIME

WAKE UP

GRAB A BRUSH AND 

PUT ON A LITTLE MAKEUP 

Nothing's Wrong with me

Let the bodies hit the floor

Let the bodies hit the floor

Let bodies hit the floor

Disorder

Disorder

Disorder

Here we go, here we go, here we go:

Once again let's hear it for the champs!  Before we bid adieu, we have one more classic album to share.  Much like Team Fugate, Team Erno did a group collaboration as well.  It ranks somewhere between Wu-Tang and The Beatles as far as super groups.  

Enjoy the games everyone, good luck to our exceptional Broathletes!

Starting Line Ups- Part One

A tradition like no other, The Starting Line Ups.  It always signals that Brolympics is right around the corner.  This year we're focusing on the fellas' extracurricular activities. As the saying goes, all artists want to be athletes and all athletes want to be artists.  Well, your favorite Bros are no different. Without further ado, The Brolympic Platinum street investigation team has dug through all the back issues at the local record stores and have unearth their biggest hits.

First up, last year's runner ups (editors note: Damn that feels good to say), TEAM FUGATE:

#6- Anthony D.

This South Central PA transplant, now making his mirth in Beaver Falls, turned his love of leather fringe jackets and lab mice into a soulful exploration of the human body.  It's a real panty dropper.  

Sample lyrics: 

Whaaaaaahooooooooooooo... baby!

babybabybaby

Dat Swamp Dogg is Back!

I want to run 

Through your dreams

Drag my finger 

Across yo boooooody

 Like I did 

When I was thirteen 

And studying

 A street atlas 

In Shire-Town

Seven One Seven

For LIFE

A four funnel classic, prescribed at 9 out of 10 fertility clinics:

#20- Tyler F.

A deep cut from the Commish, and a departure from his radio friendly first album.  This scorcher of an EP, evokes an image of Danzig, visiting a fireworks factory after two flights of premium tequila.  It's no secret to followers of our blog how coveted limited edition vinyls are to us.  That's why we're forever on the hunt for the one off version of this record that has a cartoon mash up of John Kruk's testicle in the image of Garfield's dog Odie seared onto "Side B". 

The song titles tell the story of this fan favorite album:

1. The Ballad of Inky and Lenny

2. The Three Putt Blues

3. Hop Crisis Ain't No Crisis to Me

4. Sarasota Faceplanting

5. F@#! You Bo Jackson's Hip

6. Sinkhole Splits and Grizzly Spit

7. Every Rose vomits in my Living Room

Solid from start to finish:

 

#13- Steve L.

Perpetual hustler, this perennial MVP favorite picked up the squeeze box for his third studio album, and not only surprised this reviewer, but the entire nation with his exciting take on a properly balanced offensive playbook.

Sample Lyrics:

I don't know why it's so difficult

 To comprehend,

Why do others make life so hard?!  

Simply pound it 

Between the tackles,

 Eat clock 

And move those chains!

This is an instant classic: 

#26- Nate P.

The global appeal of this album is unmistakable.  It was crafted with a full-proof formula.  Daisy Dukes + International Lyrics = Official goal song for FC Barcelona.  Fun fact: Real Madrid got in a bidding war with FC Barcelona for the exclusive rights to play, " Goal Olè Goalie' ".  Many speculate that his world wide appeal is what cost Pit Bull his job hosting various awards shows.  

Sample Lyrics:

Umbros for days

From Venice 

To Buenos Aires

I like Tacos and Lasagna

My corner kick slays

Fish n' Chips 

Breakfast of Champions

Raise your pint

Goooooooooooooaaaaaaaaaal!

Olè

Goalie

Goooooooooooooaaaaaaal!

Olè

Goalie

This infectious beat will be stuck in your head all day:

#10- Mike M.

This crooner's high concept LP took a deep look into a familiar relationship we all have...with ourself.  Ground breaking at the time for its honest introspection and willingness to share of ones soul, this deservedly won the "Most Creative Slim Jim Placement" award at the 1987 MTV Video Music Awards (a huge upset over the Macho Man Randy Savage's "Oooooooh Yeah! Volume 3"). 

Sample Lyrics:

Alone

With Myself

And also Myself

Oh shit who's there?

F yeah, it's Randy!

Ohhhhh Yeah

Pass the Steak Special

Flying Elbow to 

The Darkness of My Soul

A hearty five funnel rating:

That's it for Part I of the Selection Show.  We'll leave you with this Team Fugate classic collaboration:
