Our latest APEisode is almost out of the teens, but don't think that means we're gonna grow up anytime soon. We begin with Starting Lines, offering only the first few words as a challenge. Nick Lowe, Pearl Jam, Kansas, Stealer's Wheel, RHCP, Iggy Pop, and others are included in the clues, and we keep em flowing fast and furious.
Our second segment is Your Mother Should Know. One of our faves. Appropriately, there is a Beatles challenge, and we also check in on The Cars, Pretenders, The Kinks, and because we have Too Much Time On Our Hands, Styx and a few others. Did I just give something away?
The last segment in this APEisode is Tune That Name, the most recent addition to the APEZ challenge family, where we provide an 'alternative' naming of the song or the band, or "Whatever". Follow along, you'll figure it out.
It's our LAST CHANCE to get away with being a teen, because 20 is right around the corner. Even APEZ have to grow up... eventually. Come on, join us for a joy ride before they make us start acting our age.

This APEisode, the APEZ joy ride down Route 66 stopping in on the places in songs from CCR, Beatles, Cracker, 3 Dog Night, Wings, Mountain and more. Who knew Route 66 would go Back In The USSR, to Katmandu, and Spain?!?!?!
Then in Prime Cuts it's the expected hilarity and stupidity you've come to know and love. And maybe some talk about songs you love too! We Bullet The Blue Sky, we Turn Japanese, we pile up Dirty Laundry, and oops we Rusted our Root.... And Aerosmith, Pete Townsend, POCO, Don Henley and Steve Miller get in too.
But wait! In Prime Twist you also get....double Scorpions, Buddy Holly, Wild Cherry and it goes on! Such a deal! And all for the low, low price of 45 minutes of pure joy! So swing along with MixedApez and see if You Should Know This Song too!
Psssst, hey, down here...we'd love to know what you think of the APEisode. If you got some of the clues, ALL of the clues. ?? If you liked the games. If you got a song stuck in your head. If you've got a correction. Your favorite recipe. Let us know you're out there!!

If only we'd learned the truth at seventeen... then we might not be bringing you this delightful new 17th APEisode. We start with some MIXEDAPEZ Twist & Shout. A twisted segment where the song comes first, and the LYRICS are the answer. Frankly, when I was 17, I THOUGHT the lyrics WERE the answer. Either way, we've got songs by Bob Marley & the Wailers, Timbuk3, Joe Jackson, Van Halen and so much more in this segment.
Then some tasty, if slightly weird, Bean Enchiladas. A listener favorite segment, where we mangle the lyrics to songs you know and love. Clues include "Come on, peel an orange", and "She eats cole-slaw every day". Why are they always about food? With Nirvana, The Police, BOC, and Zeppelin among the bands (just to name a few) whose lyrics we turn sideways, there's something for every taste here.
We wrap it up with Your Mother Should Know, with clues just about anybody can figure out, even us APEZ. Songs from The Beach Boys, Sly & the Family Stone, Hootie, and a handful of others round out the APEisode and everybody getsthe correct answer out in 'record' time. I really can't help the dad jokes, and that's the way, uh-huh, we like it.
So connect with us and get the latest APEisode, and help us celebrate our 17th. Rock & Roll, kids. We're gonna grow up someday, but probably not today.

COME ON IN! Welcome to Rayce’z Oasiz! MixedApez are slinging another heapin’ helpin’ of song challenges, BS, and weirdity (Yep! Made up word. That tracks!) on You Should Know This Song. APEisode 15 has us chatting through the acts above as well as ABC, No Doubt, U2, Genesis, The Buggles, Bruce Springsteen, Cheap Trick, Crowded House, Ministry, Billy Joel, Bill withers and others.
It all happens when we play our PRIME CUTS, and TWIST & SHOUT lyric challenges.
Then when we do UNCONTROLLED SUBSTANCE it’s APEZ messing with our own A D D. as we try letting our brains go wandering off unsupervised. And when they return we make use of them for some CORRECTIONS and NOTES.
Pull up a branch and hang out a bit for You Should Know This Song THE ROCK MUSIC LYRIC CHALLENGE AND COMMENTARY PODCAST!

Hey there. Welcome! Is this your first time? Don't be scared, we're friendly APEZ. Weird and friendly! Very weird, but still friendly.
We've returned with more commentary and silliness about Rock music and lyrics. This APEisode begins with our Ask & You Shall Deceive segment. We include lyrics from CCR, the Byrds, Toto, The Blues Brothers, Tommy Tutone and even more.
Then a NEW challenge! It's called Tune That Name (at least for the moment), and it's basically word association for music nerds. The Police, Aerosmith, Pretenders, Tears for Fears, The Monkees, Talking Heads... all of them and more show up in the new segment.
Finally we 'wrap it up' with Bean Enchiladas (haha, get it?) which seems to have become a listener favorite. Lyrics by Billy Idol, Pearl Jam, Tom Petty, Steve Perry and a bunch more get twisted into unrecognizable word salad. Sorry, not sorry.
So let's get our pod on. Join us for another zany trip into the jungle lair that is MIXEDAPEZ land. We promise, we won't bite.

HEY! We just couldn't resist getting in a little MIDWEEK MAYHEM, so we whipped up a mini-episode to mention a bunch of bands that "YOU SHOULD KNOW" touring in the next couple of months. We'll run through part of the summer's touring announcements that MAY be showing up in a venue near you.
And just for fun we toss out a challenge to all of you, with a lyric challenge for the listeners. If you know the song (without having to look it up), drop a comment on your podcast platform or send an email to apez@mixedapez.com.
We're reminding EVERYBODY to play fair, it's no fun if you look it up on the InterWebs. If you don't know this one, we'll be dropping more along the way.
Anyway, check it out and see if there a gonna be some cool shows to attend near you!

We are still stupefied by the fact that Judas Priest has been making METAL albums for 50 years. On the other hand, we're not very smart and neither one of counts very well.
In APEisode 13, we open with our Ask and You Shall Deceive segment. Discussing songs by John Hiatt, Counting Crows, REM, Led Zeppelin, Eddie Money, and even Ronnie Spector, we cover the gamut of genres this time.
We debut a new segment called Route 66. The point of this challenge is to provide as many locations (city/state/country) as possible from a song, based on the lyrics tossed at you. It's the first go, so we may struggle through it, but ultimately it's a blast. We hit songs by the Lovin' Spoonful, Bob Seeger, Beach Boys, Rush, David Bowie, and several more.
Wrapping up with Uncontrolled Substance, we confess to the music we sometimes listen to when no one else is around, music we call guilty treasures. Since it's stuff we 'feel guilty' about, we'll leave it at that and you'll have to listen to find out what we're talking about.
So get your kicks with us in APEisode 13. Let's ROLL, baby!
WE ARE MIXEDAPEZ
presenting
YOU SHOULD KNOW THIS SONG!
Rock lyrics. Everybody knows 'em. Or do they?
We've been trading lyric challenges for over 20 years. We've had so much fun, we decided to share. We have a few different kinds of challenges, but mostly we just want to talk about the music, the bands, the shows, random factoids, and whatever else (Rock related) comes up.
We're here to share our thoughts and commentary on the music we know and love. But we also want to hear from YOU.
ARE YOU MIXEDAPEZ?
We think there are plenty of us out there.
Listen to the podcast and join us in the jungle! There's plenty of weird to go around.
