Shitty Song of the Week

Music, Music Commentary

Welcome to the digital dumpster dive where bad music goes to die and awful decisions live forever. Shitty Song of the Week (SSOTW) is an unfiltered, brutally honest music battle competition showcasing the tracks that should have been deleted before they were ever recorded.

Join Red and Jodie B. as they subject themselves (and you) to the music that proves that while anyone can record a song, not everyone should.

The track that survives our critical onslaught, as voted on by the "Judges Panel" (that's you, the listeners), advances until we crown the seasonal champion of the bottom.

  9. BONUS EPISODE - Who's Right (about the) Shitty Song of the Week? Bonus

    Season 7, Episode 67

    Show notes

    No offical episode this week because Red is taking yet ANOTHER vacation.

    BUT...

    Doug & Anthony from the Who’s Right Podcast thought they had a great idea to see if they could find the "Shittiest Song." (pretty original idea, right?)

    So they decided to team up with Jodie B. & Red from Shitty Song of the Week for a no-holds-barred showdown to crown the absolute shittiest track.

    Each host brings three contenders. Songs get randomly matched (no fighting your own). The owners battle it out over lyrics, dumbness, and pure cringe while the other two act as the jury. Chat breaks the ties.

    Clips are short. Roasts are long. And somewhere in the middle of “put Molly in her champagne” and random Chinese-guy noises, we somehow decide which song is the worst of the worst.

    No mercy. No sacred cows. Just pure musical suffering.

    Four grown adults. Twelve terrible songs. One chaotic bracket.

    Listen to Who's Right.

    Show notes

    Grab your silver spoons and fire up the trust funds, Shitheads—this week, we are diving deep into the glorious, untalented world of musical nepotism.

    Red and Jodie B are back, and they’ve brought in a special guest who knows a thing or two about a thing or two; Branden "Fish"! Together, the trio are dissecting what happens when fame, fortune, and a legendary last name completely bypass the talent gene pool.

    From a badass kid who can't do 1 pushup to mommy and daddy coatail riding at it's finest, we’re breaking down the absolute worst offenders to ever grace a recording studio. It’s a masterclass in musical coasting, awkward vocal processing, and songs that only exist because someone's parents foot the bill. YOU be the JUDGE!!
