WAYLT Crossover: Super Awesome Mix's May-Might Mix!
Episode 15
Monday, 11 May, 2026
It's a WAYLT Crossover week as Jenn joined Matt Sidhom on the Super Awesome Mix podcast last week to trade picks that connect by title, lyric, and mood with the focus on the words 'may' or 'might'. We start with the Bee Gees in their pre-disco glow, then jump to Led Zeppelin and the “May Queen” line that still feels like a life lesson about choices and changing course. From there, we test a common music debate: is “new country” actually bad, or did a certain pop-country era poison the well? Zach Bryan’s “Fifth of May” becomes the case study for modern country songwriting that feels specific, honest, and lived-in. The ride keeps swerving in the best way. We talk Bruno Mars as a talent machine, Bruce Springsteen’s Nebraska era grit, and the hidden story inside the Goo Goo Dolls’ “Slide” when you actually listen to the lyrics. Then it’s The Cars, They Might Be Giants, and Metallica in a sequence that proves a good mix can handle whiplash if the theme is strong. We even slow down for “It Might Be You” and a real question about Tootsie, comedy, and whether nuance survives modern pop culture. https://music.apple.com/us/playlist/may-might-songs/pl.u-4kK9uRm05vFirst of May - Bee GeesStairway to Heaven - Led Zeppelin Fifth of May - Zach Bryan I Just Might - Bruno MarsAtlantic City - Bruce SpringsteenSlide - The Goo Goo Dolls You Might Think - The Cars Birdhouse In Your Soul - They Might Be Giants Wherever I May Roam - Metallica It Might Be You - Stephen Bishop I May Be Used (But Baby I Aint Used Up) - Waylon Jennings May Ninth - Khruangbin
