First-Name Basis, Episode 7: The Top 10

Mark And Sarah Talk About Songs

Whoooo's number ooooone? (BA BA BAAAAAA!) That's not a spoiler, by the way, so you'll have to listen to our First-Name Basis finale to find out which name song is the most iconic of all time -- and also what SDB's grandma called farts, differing sources of iconicity, listener testimony from an Eileen, which song has a reliable narrator, and when the "M" in "MILF" stands for "Monkee." Season picks crash and burn, we split babies and bemoan overalls...it's the usual chaos and kismet, and it's (sorry in advance) SO GOOD! SO GOOD!

Our intro is [deep breath] Elliott Smith, Ben Folds, Andrew Byrne, Laura Barger, AND Jack Baldelli; interstitial music provided by the Police; and our outro is by Dover.
