Song Vs. Song
Todd Nathanson
Hosted by Todd (in the Shadows) Nathanson and Alina Morgan, Song vs. Song pits two similar songs of an era against each other with controversial outcomes.
126: "It Was a Good Day" vs. "Regulate"
Sometimes gangstas have happy, pleasant stories! They take cars full of girls to the Eastside Motel, and they don't even have to use their AK. Back up, back up, 'cause it's on, which story about being a smooth gangsta hits the spot for you, Ice Cube's "It Was a Good Day" or Warren G and Nate Dogg's "Regulate"?

120: "Baby One More Time" vs. "Genie in a Bottle"
Two pop princesses blitzed the charts in 1999, and they would always be compared even though their paths quickly diverged. There's no chance that the iconic "Baby One More Time" by Britney Spears could be upset by Christina Aguilera's "Genie in a Bottle," could there?
