to be honest, I'm surprised you didn't say this, but Charlie Puth made a sex song that is actually a mood killer. Like, can you imagine anyone getting ready to go to bonetown, and they're like "hold on babe, I got just the tunes for this" and then they play fuckin Marvin Gaye by Charlie Puth?
It's literally the most un-sexy song I've ever heard..... like .. even Right Said Fred's classic "Im too sexy" is somehow sexier than this in a fun kinda way ....

From the first notes of this I was thinking "this is exactly the kind of terrible shit that Meghan Trainor puts out" and then I heard the second verse harmony and like, rarely has there been so little satisfaction in being right
Same. First time view was ChiPep WMTSS and I was in tears. My wife asked my why I was so happy. All I could say was “There’s a RUclips channel for people who hate shit music more than they like good music like me now.”
*YES!* THAT'S the one! 😀👍 It was already starting to bother me that I sooo know the song in question but just couldn't get through to it! 😆 Thank you, Fewchie! 😁👍
The fact that you managed to get through this without mentioning Meghan Trainor is a testament to its awfulness. If she’s somehow the LEAST offensive part of a song, it’s gotta be bad (although the throwback doo-woppiness is kinda her trademark, so seeing her pop up had me both aggravated and yet unsurprised). This was a great watch, now I hope I never hear that song again.
As soon as I saw her, I was ahhh it all makes sence, I bet she co-wrote this shit. But to my suprise she had no part in it! I wonder if the other three song writers who are credited along with Puth for this abonation also are co writing with trainor? I dare not look that deep.
I think the fact that she outclassed him by such a large margin might be a hopeful sign that he's not going to be a huge star, but in this cursed world who knows.
The War of 1812 (18 June 1812 - 17 February 1815) was fought by the United States of America and its indigenous allies against the United Kingdom and its allies in British North America, with limited participation by Spain in Florida. It began when the United States declared war on 18 June 1812 and, although peace terms were agreed upon in the December 1814 Treaty of Ghent, did not officially end until the peace treaty was ratified by Congress on 17 February 1815.
If it brings any comfort even Puth hates this song and thinks it's terrible. Apparently it was a joke and the record company took it seriously and forced him to release it.
Hootie and the Blowfish will be serenading everyone with 🎶Let her dieeeee...and since the sun won't come out tomorrow...let her dieeee, let her die.🎶 It could be called 'SERENADE AND CYANIDE'.
Fun fact about Puth: he was an early RUclipsr too. He did a jazzed up version of T-Pain's "Can't Believe It" that I loved back in like '09. I'd just finished grad school for music at the time and I dug that vibe. Subscribed to him for years. Eventually, I see he signed to a major label. I'm proud of the guy. Then he puts out this album and it's just hot garbage from top to bottom. Every track hitting you with the I-IV-V and I-vi-IV-V over and over again. Just clearly a knowledgeable music guy pulling all his punches thinking that's how you get a hit

Out of all those bands, I'd actually be kinda stoked to see the Gin Blossoms. I think they definitely had a lot of good songs that weren't hits. Can't remember what those songs were because I was really high and possibly drunk, but I've listened to their albums at an ex's place because she owned them. I actually put them on with my own hands and played them for my own enjoyment, and I'm a Throbbing Gristle and Flipper guy. Also kinda dig Everclear. A Canadian friend schooled me on Barenaked Ladies; they used to be kinda alright, believe it or not, but then they put out like the worst song of all time that became a huge hit.
i hadnt realized meghan trainor was on this song. she really had a moment where she brought potentially the worst pop music of all time for a brief moment.

@@olavjorvik94 I know it is for me 100%. Car accident fucked my life 25 years ago, slowly losing everything I love and then Pat comes in and I’m laughing out loud for the first time in what seems like decades. And he hates the exact same songs I hate and I could just listen to him talk forever. He’s just a gem! And now we’ve got Larry too 😹💕
It’s funny you going over the Hootifest lineup. My first time seeing Everclear was the very first Summerland tour they did it with Marcy Playground, Lit, Gin Blossoms, and Sugar Ray. It was fuckin awesome. Great lineup and a really fun show
I remember being very impressed when I found out the Cowboy Mouth singer was also the drummer. I would turn up that single on the radio. I really felt like the world was beating down on me, and I needed to let it go, let it go, let it go. 😁
I never actually heard Marvin Gaye before, and when you finally played his song at the end it was like a taste of fruit after going far too long tasting nothing but crackers.
Omfg, I thought I lost my mind for the first part of your hootiefest promo... I remember being 23 & a customer at work telling me that I really needed to check out this new band: "hootie & the blowfish". For 30 years now I've been wondering wtf it was about me that made him think I'd like that band. Goddammit...
i'm dumbfounded every time i hear a puth song. it really is shocking how someone can be so talented and have either the worst taste or no ambitions to make interesting music. you feel like he should know better
I think he knows shit is what gets you rich and maybe he just writes great songs for himself to enjoy? It’s just a brutal time for music. This was so bad I’d be embarrassed to put my damn name on it. The unsexiest song about sex ever written.
It is also possible that even if he does know the fundamentals of music, his artistry is quite limited. It is like having all the tools at your disposal. He knows how to use them but hasn't mastered any of it. Hence the generic pop music he is producing.
Why should he when the majority of people scoff at the idea of integrity over entertainment value. Being a Berklee graduate doesn't mean jack squat anymore when the industry hinges upon DAW exploitation. Literally anyone can learn how to Cut & Paste, Snap-to-a-Grid and auto-tune their way into "music" in weeks. I don't get how the "music critics" would dislike this (and the whole album) versus the utter shite that Swift puts out. Btw, I'm not a fan.
@@krusher74 Yes it’s possible. Not surprised he’s rich. Unfortunately dribble is enjoyed by many. Maybe they haven’t explored other genres but the corporate music monster won’t gamble on anyone doing anything really different. Especially radio, the stations used to program their own stuff. Play music and have people call in to vote if it should go into rotation or not. There was excitement in finding new bands. Now so many people sound the same. If one person breaks out the industry finds everyone who sounds just like them. And they’re produced so any soul is removed. Live performances are almost always better. But with Charlie musical knowledge or perfect pitch doesn’t mean you can write good songs. Sorry, rant over ; )
I swear 2 seconds after Pat finished his birds and bee's demonstration my balls finally dropped and with one year to spare from the big 50 I'm gonna take it as a win, Thank You Pat.
Ironically, it is the dire state of _modern_ radio that has taken me - a middle aged Gen Xer - and transformed me into someone who would happily sit through the cornucopia of terribly bland bands you read through despite hating them all in the 90s. That is the true price of the destruction of the radio/album/signed bands model and the rise of digital: I would now listen to Hootie with a smile on my chops out of sheer juxtapositional horror.
For me it's childhood nostalgia that makes some of those bands sound more appealing than they probably should... I don't enjoy hearing Pat grind his axe with the 90s but deep down I know he's probably in the right.
I was recently advised to sub out my Neil Young songs for Hootie and, even more obscene, Back Street Boys. No, if I have to play music I hate to make money I'll just go back to busking. I may starve, but I won't die of shame.
@@duderama6750 Okay, but original comment is not a matter of having a single slot to be filled with _either_ Hootie or Neil. It's just a dude listening to music in his free time. There are unlimited slots. Neil's obviously superlatively creative to Hootie. But since they're not fighting for space in unlimited listening time, I can treat it like fast food and prime rib. I don't eat chocolate for dinner and don't reach for Dom Perignon when it's time to horse down a Sprite.
the bit the comes to mind for the melody at 21:18 is the end of Sitting, Waiting, Wishing by Jack Johnson for me. Which is a song i feel like was pretty popular on commercial radio 20 years ago.
Ugh... 'She's So High' is waaayyy more bearable than _this_ gawd-awful song! 😏 I wonder what Marvin's reaction would've been!? 😄 And Pat's right, that part at 21:08 also has been lifted from another song - and I too now won't rest before I've figuered out which one! 😭😄

I’ll be at hootie fest with my aif shirt. I’ll be looking for fellow frownies. We might be the only attendees
AIF for months!
This just made me want to go to Hootiefest
I watched a video of a podcast about a Charlie Puth song called Marvin Gaye, and now I’ve got Ben E. King stuck in my head. Ears hear only what they want to hear.
I live for you Patrick Finnerty. You are my guiding light 😍😍😍
Edit: holy shit that song fucking sucks! Thank's a lot Pat.... can't un-hear that shit.
I think Pat is the single best thing in the life of most of his 150k subs. He is for me, easily😂
@@olavjorvik94 I know it is for me 100%. Car accident fucked my life 25 years ago, slowly losing everything I love and then Pat comes in and I’m laughing out loud for the first time in what seems like decades. And he hates the exact same songs I hate and I could just listen to him talk forever. He’s just a gem! And now we’ve got Larry too 😹💕
@@theDyingArts You guys are awemome!!! followed you on spotify!
@@mostlyharmless88 thanks dude 💪💪💪
Just subscribed as well.
Thanks Puth for lumping Marvin Gaye into a category of little stinker
" If you can tell that the crisper of your refrigerator makes an F# when you open it, then you know this song blows"
Words to live by.
I love Pat's love of Eddie Trunk.
Gets me everytime.
It’s funny you going over the Hootifest lineup. My first time seeing Everclear was the very first Summerland tour they did it with Marcy Playground, Lit, Gin Blossoms, and Sugar Ray. It was fuckin awesome. Great lineup and a really fun show
"We're not set for success"! That's why I keep coming back Pat. The best thing on the net
In all this- let's just know, trust, and believe- no one is ever gonna say "let's Charlie Puth and get it on".
Dude-You nailed that F. Well done.
I remember being very impressed when I found out the Cowboy Mouth singer was also the drummer. I would turn up that single on the radio. I really felt like the world was beating down on me, and I needed to let it go, let it go, let it go. 😁
This is a great hybrid of the podcast and the videos. Love seeing them this way.
I never actually heard Marvin Gaye before, and when you finally played his song at the end it was like a taste of fruit after going far too long tasting nothing but crackers.
Thank god you do these videos. It’s the exact thing I thought in my head when this bullshit came out. This is like therapy for me
I can feel your soul die every time you count down how many podcasts you have left to do.
We've always been this stupid. We just didn't have the technology to fully realize our stupidity.
Had to subscribe myself a heavy dose of the clash to get that dam earworm out of my head. Thanks Pat.
Thanks Pat, Puth has had it coming for awhile
I'm laid out from covid. Time for a Pat marathon.
Get well soon!
You Pat Finnertied the hell out of this one -- great job
When you said jagged little pill
I thought you were going to take a shot at Alanis and I would not stand for that lol
Already going old school with the "cans" 🤙
Say what you want but Only Want to be With You is such a fun song to play on guitar
And so ends my compliments of Hootie
Omfg, I thought I lost my mind for the first part of your hootiefest promo... I remember being 23 & a customer at work telling me that I really needed to check out this new band: "hootie & the blowfish". For 30 years now I've been wondering wtf it was about me that made him think I'd like that band. Goddammit...
love this series!
I prefer a podcast like this. I feel like the guests can sometimes detract from the song discussion
Pat, you have to attend Hootiefest and make vids. I'm sure there would viewer interest in funding the endeavor. Have some streaming telethons.
I'm in for $5.
Love the monogrammed Dunkin' cup! Keep runnin'!
i'm dumbfounded every time i hear a puth song. it really is shocking how someone can be so talented and have either the worst taste or no ambitions to make interesting music. you feel like he should know better
I think he knows shit is what gets you rich and maybe he just writes great songs for himself to enjoy? It’s just a brutal time for music. This was so bad I’d be embarrassed to put my damn name on it. The unsexiest song about sex ever written.
It is also possible that even if he does know the fundamentals of music, his artistry is quite limited. It is like having all the tools at your disposal. He knows how to use them but hasn't mastered any of it. Hence the generic pop music he is producing.
Why should he when the majority of people scoff at the idea of integrity over entertainment value. Being a Berklee graduate doesn't mean jack squat anymore when the industry hinges upon DAW exploitation. Literally anyone can learn how to Cut & Paste, Snap-to-a-Grid and auto-tune their way into "music" in weeks. I don't get how the "music critics" would dislike this (and the whole album) versus the utter shite that Swift puts out. Btw, I'm not a fan.
@@phoenixgirl70 "Charlie Puth's Net Worth in 2023 is $25 Million" maybe he is just a basic bitch and loves this kinda dribble.
@@krusher74 Yes it’s possible. Not surprised he’s rich. Unfortunately dribble is enjoyed by many. Maybe they haven’t explored other genres but the corporate music monster won’t gamble on anyone doing anything really different. Especially radio, the stations used to program their own stuff. Play music and have people call in to vote if it should go into rotation or not. There was excitement in finding new bands. Now so many people sound the same. If one person breaks out the industry finds everyone who sounds just like them. And they’re produced so any soul is removed. Live performances are almost always better. But with Charlie musical knowledge or perfect pitch doesn’t mean you can write good songs. Sorry, rant over ; )
The song you can't place is 100000% the chorus of Sitting, Waiting, Wishing by Jack Johnson. Puth's definitely gotta know that!
I swear 2 seconds after Pat finished his birds and bee's demonstration my balls finally dropped and with one year to spare from the big 50 I'm gonna take it as a win, Thank You Pat.
Hey, congratulations brother. Never too late!
@@theDyingArts Suddenly my pants feel tight. :)
@@peehandshihtzu hahah champion.
Oh man! Seeing the thumbnail I expected you to have Charlie Puth as a guest to shittalk a Marvin Gaye song. I'm relieved!
Great stuff pat! Thanks for laughs
Ironically, it is the dire state of _modern_ radio that has taken me - a middle aged Gen Xer - and transformed me into someone who would happily sit through the cornucopia of terribly bland bands you read through despite hating them all in the 90s. That is the true price of the destruction of the radio/album/signed bands model and the rise of digital: I would now listen to Hootie with a smile on my chops out of sheer juxtapositional horror.
For me it's childhood nostalgia that makes some of those bands sound more appealing than they probably should... I don't enjoy hearing Pat grind his axe with the 90s but deep down I know he's probably in the right.
I was recently advised to sub out my Neil Young songs for Hootie and, even more obscene, Back Street Boys. No, if I have to play music I hate to make money I'll just go back to busking. I may starve, but I won't die of shame.
@@duderama6750 Okay, but original comment is not a matter of having a single slot to be filled with _either_ Hootie or Neil. It's just a dude listening to music in his free time. There are unlimited slots. Neil's obviously superlatively creative to Hootie. But since they're not fighting for space in unlimited listening time, I can treat it like fast food and prime rib. I don't eat chocolate for dinner and don't reach for Dom Perignon when it's time to horse down a Sprite.
@@memoryhero
You missed the point.
@@duderama6750 Yeah, well, that's just like your opinion, man. *looks over shades*
That was honestly the best description I’ve ever heard for man and woman penetrative sex. And I now know that P Finnerty knows how to bone.
the bit the comes to mind for the melody at 21:18 is the end of Sitting, Waiting, Wishing by Jack Johnson for me. Which is a song i feel like was pretty popular on commercial radio 20 years ago.
100% on Gin Blossoms with the tambo and quality of their tunes over GooGoo Dolls. Love your vids Pat. keep'em comin please
Ugh... 'She's So High' is waaayyy more bearable than _this_ gawd-awful song! 😏 I wonder what Marvin's reaction would've been!? 😄 And Pat's right, that part at 21:08 also has been lifted from another song - and I too now won't rest before I've figuered out which one! 😭😄
I'm getting "Will You Still Love Me Tomorrow' vibes, only totally shittified.
My local radio station had a fad of playing this😳 pure bloody torture at work!
