单集简介 ...

Last week, Netflix released the fifth season of BoJack Horseman. I wanted to revisit this episode about the show’s Main Title Theme, which was written by Patrick Carney of The Black Keys, and his uncle, Ralph Carney, who passed away unexpectedly in December 2017. BoJack Horseman is a Netflix original series, an animated comedy about a washed up 90s sitcom star who's trying to figure out his life and career without drowning in self-loathing and existential despair. It won the 2016 Critics Choice award for best animated series. The theme song for the show was created by Patrick Carney, who is one half of The Black Keys, and his uncle, Ralph Carney, a multi-instrumentalist who has worked artists like Tom Waits, St Vincent, The B-52s, Galaxie 500, and a lot more. But the track wasn't written for the show, originally; it was just something that Patrick and Ralph made without knowing what it was for. In this episode, the two break down how the song was created, and how it went from their long-distance collaboration to become a TV theme song. songexploder.com/bojack-horseman

  • You're listening to Song Exploder, where musicians take apart their songs,

  • and piece by piece, tell the story of how they were made.

  • I'm Rishikesh Hirway.

  • Last week, Netflix released the fifth season of BoJack Horseman.

  • In the opening credits of the first episode of season five,

  • as the theme song plays, there's a shot of BoJack in the foreground,

  • and in the background, on a TV,

  • there's a drawing of a man with a saxophone, and the dates 1956 to 2017.

  • It's a memorial tribute.

  • The man in the drawing is Ralph Carney,

  • who co-wrote the theme song along with his nephew, Patrick Carney, of the Black Keys.

  • I spoke with both of them in 2016 for the Song Exploder episode about the making of the theme song.

  • But in December of 2017, Ralph Carney passed away suddenly.

  • Here's Patrick.

  • Losing Ralph's been really hard for me.

  • He was one of my biggest inspirations.

  • When it came to music, he always encouraged me ever since I was a teenager.

  • I know that he would be happy to know that people are interested in this song,

  • and I encourage you to look deeper into Ralph's catalog,

  • including the songs that he made with Tom Waits on records like Rain Dogs, Meal Variations,
