Naughty By Nature’s O.P.P was a 90s hip hop anthem — catchy, controversial, and confusing as hell. But what does O.P.P even mean, and does the song actually hold up? In this episode of 1001 Songs That Make You Want To Die, we break down the lyrics, the innuendo, and why this track had parents panicking while kids sang along without a clue.

Expect comedy, wild tangents, and more shade than a bucket hat in 1991.

Bob Dylan’s Mr. Tambourine Man is called a masterpiece of folk music — but does it really deserve the hype? In this episode of 1001 Songs That Make You Want To Die, we tear apart the lyrics, debate the meaning, and ask if Dylan was a genius poet or just mumbling nonsense with a guitar.

Expect comedy, hot takes, and a lot of shade thrown at one of the most “important” songs in music history.

Score: 7.4

Huntr/x’s Golden arrives like a motivational poster you’d find hanging in a gym bathroom, but set to a synth line that sounds vaguely like it was borrowed from a video game character’s redemption arc. It’s a song that insists on optimism with the ferocity of a Labrador that’s just discovered a tennis ball.

Musically, Golden shuffles between indie-pop earnestness and Spotify algorithm-friendly polish. There’s enough reverb to make you think the band recorded it inside an abandoned cathedral, and a beat that wouldn’t feel out of place on a Peloton playlist called “Empowerment Vibes Vol. 3.” The lyrics are all about light, resilience, and that vague sense of self-actualisation you get after buying overpriced crystals from a weekend market.

Where the track succeeds is in its sheer audacity to believe in something. Huntr/x doesn’t just tell you life can be Golden; they practically kick down your door and hand you a scented candle to prove it. It’s aspirational music, but aspirational in the way a suburban vision board is: sincere, slightly chaotic, and maybe exactly what you need at 2 a.m.

Best moment: when the chorus drops and you briefly believe you might, in fact, be the main character.
Worst moment: the realisation that you’re listening to earbuds you bought off Wish.

Final verdict: not quite solid gold, but definitely gold-plated — shiny enough to keep you dancing until you start questioning your life choices.
