Barenaked Ladies
has been writing and performing a bizarre blend of cerebrotonic,
clever, sardonic witty lyrics (rapidly paced and interlaced with 'puns within puns') with wonderfully melodic and memorable tunes during the past 18 years or so.
Sometimes the songs are so impacted with obscurant, clever , wacky lyrics that you have to listen to them several times in order to catch all of the brilliance and intellectual handiwork that is loaded into every verse.
The two biggest publicly-celebrated songs from this wonderfully musical group of comedians and philosophers are probably "If I Had A Million Dollars" [pass out those lyric sheets, Missy -- all the family wants to sing along], and, more recently, the theme song from The Big Bang Theory, a very funny sitcom which I enjoy when I can't find NCIS, CSI or Person Of Interest on television and I'm not tired enough to just go to bed. In fact, the RadioDAZZ guy (me, Douglas E. Castle, a regular working stiff, but don't tell anyone) has caught some of his
greatest musical inspirations in those restless moments.
