Every episode, Lane and Jorge get together to discuss what is a different artist's signature song! What song defines them to the general public? If you appreciate debate and discussion about silly inconsequential pop music stuff, this show is for you.
Madonna is indisputably one of the most successful and influential singer-songwriters of all time. She’s smashed records, paved the way for countless women in pop music, and wowed fans with her wild sartorial choices and genre-bending music close to 45 years. Join us as we examine Madonna’s impossibly expansive career and creativity on the season 3 premiere of Signature Song.

What Is U2's Signature Song?
Few bands have pursued grandeur as relentlessly as U2. Across nearly five decades, the Irish quartet has transformed political urgency, spiritual yearning, romantic conflict, and unabashed optimism into some of the biggest rock songs ever recorded. We trace their journey from the martial intensity of War to the stadium transcendence of The Unforgettable Fire, the emotional sweep of The Joshua Tree, and the polished uplift of All That You Can't Leave Behind. Along the way, we discuss delay pedals, humanitarianism, giant sunglasses, unwanted iTunes albums, and the fine line between inspiring and corny. Which song best captures everything the world loves, respects, and occasionally mocks about U2?
