Bobby Lopez and Kristen Anderson-Lopez literally have every award, they wrote the songs for Coco and Frozen. But when we invited them on @bullseye.maximumfun.org , they wanted to sing a song they wrote for Kermit the Frog that no one had heard before. Everyone was 😭.

Not many bands live a long, happy 30 years together. Not even (some might even say: famously not) the ones made of brothers. The Hives talk to Bullseye about what keeps them inspired to make music together after so many years: buff.ly/tR5aKM9

After 15 years of writing raps, it was quite easy when the time came for Vince Staples to write a script for the pilot episode of his show.
