“Hell” by Squirrel Nut Zippers (f/ Mark Popeney)
This week, we're joined by Mark Popeney, one half of the new podcast Nevermind the Music. With his background as a music professor, Mark takes us through the strange and often challenging journey of the Squirrel Nut Zippers, who unexpectedly scored an Alternative Radio hit with their Cab Calloway-inspired song "Hell." Though lumped into the '90s swing revival, there was something that made them stand out, and this week, we try to pinpoint exactly what that was!
