Kevin and Casey finally give MAGIC!’s “Rude” the chancy treatment, diving into reggae cosplay, Matthew Davids energy, the world’s most confusing wedding storyline, and a guitar solo so bad it almost circles back to genius. Along the way they debate ska waves, Kurt Cobain, Vampire Weekend, and whether “Why you gotta be so rude?” is actually one of the funniest hooks ever written. Also: do the singer and the dad become “boys” at the altar or not?

With open-minds, Kevin and Casey start the podcast listening to one famously despised pop song - obviously, since we can’t play the track for legal reasons, this is a quick homework assignment for our listeners to stream on their own. Kevin and Casey will give their first impressions of hearing the song as well as some insight into what the time was like when it was originally released. Next, since they are both musicians, they’ll break down the good, the bad, and the ugly of the tune’s musical attributes and lyricism. They’ll compare this song to similar songs (that are loved!) and discuss why the world has decided this song is a famous turd.
