Karl only really likes songs with a story behind them - based on the idea that there's a reason to listen to the end (although as Ricky says, only once). This lead to a feature in Series 4 where they'd play (usually non-typical Xfm) songs and analyse the story, or Karl's interpretation of it.
Songs featured
- The Killing of Georgie (Rod Stewart) - Karl's favourite song, about "a little gay fella" who goes to New York and gets killed. "Gays shouldn't go out so late", was Karl's view.
- Babooshka (Kate Bush) - Karl speculates that the adulterous husband in the song may just be playing along with the disguised wife's rouse to spice things up in the bedroom.
- Wonderful Tonight (Eric Clapton) - which Karl thinks is about a "little disabled fella" being cared for, despite next to no evidence.
- Pinball Wizard (The Who) - About a deaf, dumb and blind kid who "plays a mean pinball". As Karl says, why put any money in the machine?
- Ruby, Don't Take Your Love To Town (Kenny Rogers)
