Musical Autopsy

"This...is Musical Autopsy, the feature at   A Dose of Buckley   where I make my way down to the musical morgue to get my slice on with a song or artist. I believe that's how all the cool doctors are referring to it these days." –Buckley
Musical Autopsy is a "supplement" series created by Buckley as part of his comedy web series A Dose of Buckley. Each video in the series centers around Buckley examining a song or artist and pointing out the problems he has with it. Typically, an episode will only look at a single song, but when an episode is about an artist, several songs will be examined by that artist.
Buckley has said that, despite Musical Autopsy being one of his most popular segments on his channel (other than his Ten Worst Songs of 20xx lists), Musical Autopsy is his least favourite segment.  ("I'm a hipster of my own channel.") 
==History==
The first episode of Musical Autopsy was originally released on January 3, 2010 and uploaded two days later to YouTube on January 5. The episode centered around the rock band Kings of Leon, critiquing their songs "Sex on Fire", "Crawl", "Notion", and "Use Somebody".
The fifteenth episode, a Musical Autopsy of Florida Georgia Line's "Cruise" featuring Nelly, introduced a new logo to the show. The previous logo simply consisted of the A Dose Of Buckley logo and the words "Musical Autopsy" underneath. The new logo has the same title in the same font, but in bigger letters and adjacent to a large eighth note.
As of October 5, 2013, there are eighteen episodes of Musical Autopsy, fifteen focusing on one song and the remaining three on several songs from one artist. 
As of December 2013, a Christmas [] edition of Musical Autopsy has been uploaded on YouTube, criticizing about some Christmas songs featuring "Let It Snow", "Last Christmas", "I Saw Mommy Kissing Santa Claus" and "Rudolf The Red Nose Reindeer".
==Format==
The majority of Musical Autosies are about one song only, but a few have several songs and are titled after the songs' artist instead. When a song is examined, the main focus is the lyrics; this is also the case for Buckley's The Ten Worst Songs of 20xx videos. While analyzing the lyrics, Buckley will display the lyrics in the video as he plays a selected clip from the song. After the clip is over, the lyrics are revisited on. Flaws such as ones in grammar are taken note of. Also, Buckley highlights lyrics that are nonsensical or contribute to a negative theme in the song. In one episode, the song "Want U Back" by Cher Lloyd is heavily criticized for the fact that Lloyd sings about leaving her boyfriend for shallow reasons, then insisting he return to her because she thought he would be too miserable to find another girlfriend.
Each episode begins with Buckley giving a short introduction to the Musical Autopsy series that is analogous to a mortician examining a dead body (hence the name Musical Autopsy). After concluding the episode, Buckley ends the video by saying, "This has been Musical Autopsy; bag it and tag it." This is followed by the sound of a zipper.  There is an exception to that for his Musical Autopsy of Black and Yellow by Wiz Khalifa, where he says, "This has been Musical Autopsy, fuck your mothers!" 
==Episodes==
Episode #	Episode Title 	Release Date 	Summary
1 	"Kings of Leon" 	January 3, 2010 	Buckley critiques the band Kings of Leon for having repetitive lyrics, a whiny singer, and mediocre instrumentists, looking at its songs "Sex on Fire", "Crawl", "Notion", and "Use Somebody". He decides the rock band is the American Nickelback.
2 	"Orianthi - According to You" 	April 13, 2010 	After listening to Orianthi's first single "According to You", Buckley believes she should just be a session guitarist. Looking at the lyrics, he believes the current boyfriend in the song is validly unhappy with his girlfriend, and that the other boy involved is "clearly trying to get into Orianthi's pants despite her current relationship status."
3 	"Bruno Mars - Grenade" 	February 21, 2011	Bruno Mars' hit "Grenade" to Buckley is just a slow, boring song about a man who is willing to mutilate and kill himself to impress a woman who is not willing to mutilate and kill herself for him.
4 	"Wiz Khalifa - Black and Yellow" 	May 26, 2011 	Line by line and verse by verse, Buckley goes through this rap song from his "Ten Worst Songs of 2010" to respond for the last time to everyone who claimed that the song is about the Pittsburgh Steelers NFL team. He concludes that by their logic, the song could be about a bee, a taxi, or Pikachu.
5 	"Katy Perry - Last Friday Night" 	August 17, 2011 	Katy Perry is shamed in this Musical Autopsy for making a song about getting drunk, possibly sleeping with someone, breaking the law, potentially losing one's job, and not learning a single lesson about the entire situation.
6 	"LMFAO" 	October 5, 2011 	With no idea how to start, Buckley slices into several LMFAO songs, including their two success stories "Sexy And I Know It" and "Party Rock Anthem". He affirms that their music is bad, but that it also simply doesn't belong in the mainstream pop arena as it is club music.
7 	"Toby Keith - Red Solo Cup" 	January 12, 2012 	Toby Keith's song "Red Solo Cup" was even stupid to Keith himself, but he recorded it regardless. This annoys Buckley because it was no more than a way for the country singer to show he could release an extremely meaningless and stupid song and still be successful off it.
8 	"Nicki Minaj - Stupid Hoe" 	February 9, 2012 	To Buckley, the diss-track "Stupid Hoe" is a pointless song about a meaningless war of words between Nicki and Li'l' Kim, and that neither of them will be relevant for much longer.
9 	"Carly Rae Jepsen - Call Me Maybe" 	April 12, 2012 	Buckley criticizes Carly Rae Jepsen's insecure and slightly extreme way of trying to get the boy she wants in her song "Call Me Maybe".
10 	"One Direction" 	June 5, 2012 	Though Buckley believes One Direction is just another group of untalented pop icons without any instruments, he elaborates that the themes of trying to impress a girl in songs like "What Makes You Beautiful" and "One Thing" were also once found in songs like "She Loves You" and many others by The Beatles.
11 	"Cher Lloyd - Want U Back" 	August 3, 2012 	Buckley calls Cher Lloyd out for snobbishly dumping her boyfriend for no good reason, then being unable to see him date anyone else.
12 	"Taylor Swift - I Knew You Were Trouble" 	October 22, 2012 	Much like his criticism for her song "The Story of Us" in "The Ten Worst Songs of 2011", Buckley sees Taylor Swift's new song "I Knew You Were Trouble" as simply a repetition of every other one of her songs. Like in 2011 he pleads her to write a song about anything else other than boyfriends who break her heart.
13 	"Macklemore & Ryan Lewis - Thrift Shop" 	February 3, 2013 	Buckley expresses mixed feelings for the song "Thrift Shop". On the one hand, he appreciates it for having a unique message among rap songs about how buying expensive clothes is pointless and that one should spend more wisely. On the other hand, the way the song is constructed is just like any other pop or rap song to him.
14 	"Serena Ryder - Stompa" 	March 10, 2013 	While explaining Canadian content laws to Americans and why Serena Ryder and other Canadian artists like her are relevant (even though he doesn't think them very good artists), Buckley exposes Ryder's single "Stompa" as a boring indie song about being lazy and never doing any work.
15 	"Florida Georgia Line ft. Nelly - Cruise" 	May 12, 2013 	After examining this 2012 country song rereleased in 2013 with more poppy music and a rap from Nelly, Buckley concludes that even the original version has all elements of a rap song lyric-wise, and thus the country group Florida Georgia Line collaborated with rapper Nelly to produce a charting pop song.
16 	"Chris Brown - Fine China" 	June 30, 2013 	Chris Brown's "Fine China" features the singer telling a girl he would treat her like, as the title says, fine china. However, Buckley views this as dishonest, seeing how Chris Brown beat his then-girlfriend Rihanna in 2009. He suggests Chris Brown write songs that represent a more bad guy character, thus making him still a piece of garbage, but an honest one.
17 	"Pink ft Lily Allen - True Love" 	August 4, 2013 	Buckley not only hates "True Love" for being about loving an "asshole" (as the song says) for superficial reasons, but for the fact that Miley Cyrus's "7 Things" from 2008 is virtually the same song. He is also disappointed that featured artist Lily Allen, whom he considers his favorite female artist, only gets four lines in the song that add nothing to it.
18 	"Lorde - Royals" 	October 5, 2013 	
Lorde's hit "Royals" brings a mixed response from Buckley. He is impressed with its criticism of pop music for constantly centering around a "YOLO" theme of throwing one's life away. He laments the fact that much like Macklemore's Thrift Shop, the message is likely completely ignored by listeners, and he adds that Lorde will look like a hypocrite if she ends up doing what she is criticizing.
19 	"Katy Perry ft. Juicy J - Dark Horse" 	February 8, 2014 	
20 	"Black Keys - Turn Blue" 	April 20, 2014 	
21 	"Magic! - Rude" 	June 15, 2014
