The Story Song Podcast: Wake Me Up Befor...

Pantheon Media
About this episode

Rise-rise and shine-shine. It’s time for another episode of THE STORY SONG PODCAST that will make everything brighter than Doris Day (if that’s even possible). Join your hosts for their review of the 1984 pop classic, “Wake Me Up Before You Go-Go” by Wham!. In this episode, we jitterbug our way through the 80s as we discuss your uncle’s most reliable car, a classic photo-documentary series about 19th-Century taverns, and the eyeroll seen ’round the world. So let’s not fight, they can dance, we’ll listen to this episode of THE STORY SONG PODCAST instead. Jitterbug.

THE STORY SONG PODCAST is a member of the Pantheon Podcast Network.

Y.M.C.A. by Village People
