Listen, I'm gonna level with ya... this is the wildest one yet. That's partly due to the story, and partly due to the fact that the hosts seem to have just sort of, broken? I mean I can give you the names of songs in this one but it's not going to guide this experience in a meaningful way. Still want 'em?? Okay: "Dig a Little Hole", "How Many Stacks?", "A Gibson Girl", "The Lady is an Ocean", and "Perfect Lunch". Most importantly, it's the triumphant return of DANA "WIX ON THE STIX" WICKENS!
