Even Worse (Which is Good): I Think I'm a Clone Now

What do you get when a 1960s teen love song, an 80s mall pop anthem, and Weird Al Yankovic collide? An identity crisis… with a killer hook.

In this episode, we’re joined by Jeff with Two Effs from the Suggested Articles Podcast (yes, we have more than one Jeff on this show… which feels very on-brand for a clone episode) as we trace the evolution of I Think We're Alone Now. From Tommy James & the Shondells’ slightly rebellious original, to Tiffany’s glossy, mall-tour domination, and finally to I Think I'm a Clone Now—where things get weird in the best possible way.

We break down how one melody can tell three completely different stories, why Weird Al’s parody works so well, and how a simple pop song turns into a surprisingly funny take on identity, duplication, and way too many versions of yourself.

Come for the nostalgia. Stay for the clones.
