Da da da da DA da da DA da
DA duh DUH duh DAT duh duh
In this week's ep-i-sode
TnT do Suz-anne Ve-ga
The lads go a-ca-pell-a with her hit song Tom's Di-ner
In the midst of their dis-cuss-ion they find their way to Rich-ard Buck-ner
Who leaves and tra-vels well as he sings so-lo in the for-est
Da da da da DA da da DA da
DA duh DUH duh DAT duh duh
From there they meet with Lu-ka, who is on the se-cond floor
The boyz aren't really sure, but they think they've seen him be-fore
In the form of par-o-dy, and from there they each get ear-worms
From Mr. Pres-i-dent as Tom reveals a Dark Juicy secret...

In this very special Halloween episode, Tom and Ty get out their protective eyewear, turn around, and stare into the bright eyes of Bonnie Tyler's 1983 "Total Eclipse of the Heart." Nearly blinded by Jim Steinman's over-the-top songwriting, the two marvel at how he and Bonnie Tyler make the song work (in spite of Tom almost purging his Halloween candy over the multitudinous key changes...or maybe it was the meatloaf? Another slice, anyone?). The boys dig deep into how pioneering music video maestro Russell Mulcahy brought his spooky magic to the song, creating a perplexing masterpiece for the ages. Hold your headless horseman tight as we gallop into the dark forest of taboo in this episode of T(rick) n' T(reat).

In this episode the TnT Dork Collective get their nerd on with the geeky 1982 classic "She Blinded Me With Science." Tom blows Ty's mind with some little-known (and nerdy) Thomas Dolby trivia, including his associations with Foreigner, Joni Mitchell and Michael Jackson and then spazzes out when Ty nails his I'll-bet-you-didn't-know questions with the greatest of ease (like a true geek). Tape up those glasses, pop that floppy disk into the Commodore 64 and adjust your pocket protectors for a full-on P.C.P. (Pop, Chips & Parents) listening party!

In this episode the fellas dream their way back to 1963 and stare in disbelief (and delight) as the legendary Roy Orbison upstages the Beatles not once but twice with his top ten hit "In Dreams." Little did Roy know that as Orbi-mania faded that the Candy Colored Clown was sound asleep aboard the HSFM mothership, existing in a state of suspended animation for 23 years, only to be awoken by illustrious film director David Lynch. Lynch proceeded to revive not only the sandman but Roy's career as well. Join the boyz as they examine the unlikely trajectory of "In Dreams" and tip their sleeping caps to Roy's undeniable influence across the musical spectrum, including such diverse acts as Van Halen, Chris Isaak, Morrissey and U2.

In this episode Tom goes berserk for Björk while Ty is blasé on her quirk. While Tom tries to convince Ty to not be a “jörk” about her work, the boys discuss the annoyingly unrepresentative hits that sometimes define an artist. While figuratively walking in the forest with Björk they manage to get into a discussion about primal guitar rock and the urge to jump off a cliff. Join the gentlemen as they not so quietly discuss the artist from Mars who came down to earth briefly to surprise us all with this unlikely hit!

In this episode, the lads travel back to the disco era where they shake their boo-tays to none other than...Pink Floyd? As they try to dig the dark Floydian disco groove, they critique some hits (and misses) of rock bands attempting disco and marvel at how the genre penetrated every nook and cranny of the era that bears its name. Ty also offers Tom an olive branch for his unrelenting dissing of producers, which Tom preempts...with a gift. All and all, it's just another brick in the...strobe light illuminated dance floor?
