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!
