Mary Mary - Shackles (Praise You)

Want to request a song? Tell us your rating? Send us a Text Message right now! This week we're taking on Mary Mary's 2000 crossover monster “Shackles (Praise You)” — a song apparently designed to get people dancing their way into Christianity without realising it. We discover embarrassingly late that the song is actually about God, investigate the theory that “Shackles” was a Trojan horse used to sneak gospel music onto mainstream radio, and try to work out what exactly happened when “everything that could go wrong all went wrong at one time.” Plus: Mad Dog goes two-on-one with Mary Mary. Warren Campbell becomes the unexpected star of the episode. We discover the incredible Campbell Coincidence. “Sins of the flesh” gets far too much airtime. We blind rank six massive albums from the year 2000. And somehow the conversation ends up at Josef Fritzl again. Take the shackles off our feet so we can podcast.
