The One Hit Wonder Roll Call
The panel of forgotten legends introduces themselves, including Rico Star and his EDM hit 'Girls Got the Best Ones,' which sparked a national debate over the meaning of the word 'ones.'
"The term one hit wonder, it does feel a little bit offensive to me because I have made a lot of music... they stay for all five songs."
Jeremy X and the Berlin Wall A Cappella
Jeremy X performs his hit 'I'm Not a Purple Man' and reveals it was inspired by his hatred of the Berlin Wall falling, as it allowed his enemy to cross back into his life.
"I'm every single color in the rainbow, but I'll never be purple. I'm not the purple man."
"They took the wall down. I'm like, god damn it."
The Casserole ATM Conspiracy
Lil Chickadee Jones discusses her childhood hit 'Casserole Time' and the tragic downfall of her career involving a 'Casserole ATM' that was secretly operated by a small man instead of a robot.
"The casserole ATM was in fact run by a man, that it was not a robot."
"My mama put my casserole in the oven. My mama put my casserole in the school."
Sister Mary's Anti-Rickroll
Sister Mary explains how her cathedral choir's church song became an early internet meme used to 'anti-Rickroll' people looking for adult content.
"I'm less of a singer and more of a mouth mover."
"It wasn't Rick Rolling, but it was an anti-Rick Roll. Scary."
Robbie X Danger: The Gum Commercial Legend
Robbie X Danger defends his rock star status against claims that his hit song was written specifically for a gum commercial, despite the lyrics being entirely about chewing.
"Everybody drive, everybody chew, everybody chew, chew."
"I've always thought of myself a little bit like a cheeky lizard."
Jeremy X's Children: Cole and Eoli
Jeremy X reveals he has two children named Cole and Eoli. He explains that he keeps his superstar identity a secret from them by pretending to be a government drone pilot and a spy.
"It's Cole and uh Eoli."
"They think I'm a spy."
"I tell them I work for the government and that daddy pilots drones."
The Children's Album of Made-Up Colors
Jeremy X performs a song from his new children's album which uses the exact same melody as his hit 'The Purple Man' but replaces the colors with nonsensical made-up words like 'Merange'.
"I decided to do the children's album with madeup colors."
"I'm Ble. I'm Reel. I'm all sorts of colors of the green pal, but I'm never Merange."
Rico Rontriga's Vegas Origin Story
Rico Rontriga recounts his rise to fame in 2004 at the MGM Grand, claiming Steve Aoki was his mentee and explaining how he uploaded his hit to addictinggames.com.
"Steve Aoki was my mentee."
"I threw it up online as a wave file on a flash website and addictinggames.com."
"If something works in Vegas, it works everywhere."
Lil Chickadee Jones and the Casserole Verse
Lil Chickadee Jones explains the lyrics to her hit song about her mother, a ride operator on a loop-de-loop coaster called 'The Drop', and the square-dance culture surrounding the track.
"My mama put my casserole in the theme park."
"My mama was a ride operator on the Drop."
"Yiddly diddly diddly dah."
The Gas Man Bridge
Lil Chickadee Jones describes the confusing bridge of her song featuring 'The Gas Man', a character who turns gas on and off unpredictably, leading to a nostalgic breakdown about growing up.
"The gas man comes into the town. He turns the gas off."
"I love growing up, you guys. I miss it."
Mambo No. 5 Gum: The Gum Brand Pivot
The panel attempts to 'punch up' Jeremy X's song by suggesting he pivot to gum brand sponsorships, leading to a series of gum-related puns based on Lou Bega's hit.
"You could call it Mumbo number Five Gum."
"I'm not just a gum guy."
"Hubba Bubba gum. That's actually big."
The Personality Guy: Horny for Specific Laughter
Rico Rontriga claims he is a 'personality guy' rather than a boob or butt guy, but describes his attraction in increasingly aggressive and unsettling terms.
"Personalities make me horny."
"I'm looking around at libraries and coffee shops being like, 'Who is that?'"
"I'm still horny like that. It's just for personality."
Lil Chickadee's Adult Book Club Anthem
Lil Chickadee Jones performs her new song about a book club, which the panel identifies as a clear indicator of a medical emergency or manic episode.
"I go on to the book club and I put my book in the house."
"This song is weirdly an Amber Alert song."
"It's going to be huge for the medical community."
The Supergroup: Peaches and Tissue Boxes
The panel attempts to write a collaborative 'one hit wonder' supergroup song that devolves into a chaotic mix of sexualized fruit lyrics and driving tissue boxes.
"Take the tissue box and use it as a car."
"Rub me up and down with your peach."
"The peach is the mayor of the town."
The Final Farewell and Plug Parade
The hosts and guest Demi Adejuyigbe wrap up the episode with high energy, directing viewers to Demi's Instagram bio and the show's Patreon before a synchronized wave goodbye.
"Go straight to his Instagram bio."
"We love you guys. Check out our Patreon. Bye bye."
The AOAOAOA Legal Disclaimer and Credits
A rapid-fire, self-deprecating audio disclaimer plays over the end credits, clarifying that the performers' opinions are not their own because they are 'stupid' and the show is improvised.
"The opinions expressed on this podcast do not reflect the opinions of anyone who works on it, not even the performers, because this is an improvised podcast and we're stupid."
