This Song Sucks Season 3 Episode 4

Hayden and Josh slip the ol’ Birkenstocks back on for this episode as they are joined by Elizabeth Hafner to discuss “Come Original” by 311. All three hosts apologize to their middle school selves, but it’s hard not to dunk on a band whose music and lyrics are as stale as their bong water.

Josh thinks the song is a haphazardly slapped-together collection of unfinished ideas, Hayden agrees that the song sucks but admits to kind of liking it, and Elizabeth can’t help but dish out zinger after zinger aimed at what we assume is the saddest fan base in existence.
