0:00.0	Hi, I'm Todd Nathanson. And I'm Danny Roth. This is Song versus Song. How are you doing today? How you feel?
0:09.7	Well, were you, were you teeing me up to say the thing? Did you want me to just say? All right. Well, I don't know. I feel fine. It's the end of the world as we know. And I feel, I feel bad.

1:21.8	Neil Secerig is Space Monkey Mafia, which is a mashup of the two.
1:27.2	Yeah, the thing is, like, even though these songs have absolutely nothing in common,
