Be cool, Daddy who Because Hell is a musical. Hell is a musical
musical musical stuff whatchable to other people that you need but you have to do
with anywhere. It's stuff. The musical musical musical with Hills ends good,
Hello, and Welcome to Hell is a musical where the road to Hell is
paid with choreographed and rasmat has intentions. I'm Scott, I'm Lel's and I'm
recovering from a really bad cold, but I'm still funny. I assure you,
has it impacted your soul? What has it impacted your soul? Because
we're talking about soul music. I don't like face. How dare you?
What if they turned this into a fish cover band? Today? That wasn't
today? We watched the nineteen ninety one musical comedy drama Thy Commitments, and
who did we watch it with? We watched it in the comfort of our
own homes, but in spirit, we watched it with our good friend Christopher
Brown, who's back for yet another Alan Parker film. Oh Hello, and
I sincerely hope that you two mean this one as an apology for the last
Alan Parker film that I had to watch. Let's Do bugs him? Alone
again. Oh, if you do again that, I won't be blackout,
drunken angry. They're out of paddle car thing. I think one way or
another, you'll be able to promise your anger. These kids are. They're
assholes, their cream pies. So I have a one kid, he's the
leader. That's the leader. That kid. So I actually, Lily Pad,
I have some information from a previous episode. We did um that CBE
was not on. But oh for yesterday, you know how, we were
trying to figure out why coca cola and cigarettes don't exist in that world.
Why is that I found out the answer. It's because is the answer gonna
be really stupid? Yes, please continue. It's because John Lennon and Paul
McCartney met as teenage kids over a Coca cola and cigarettes to start a band.
You don't say that's true to word. That is indeed really stupid.
Yep, because those definitely existed before John Lennon and Paul McCartney were even invented.
Yeah. So, uh, that's a little fun fact that I found.
Doubt it's not that fun, No, it's not so the commitments Alan
Parkers, I guess apology for bugsy Malone I mean, it's a belated apology
because it wasn't bugsy Malone, like almost a decade before this. More than
that, right, yeah, more than that? Oh, yes, I
mean and after bugsy Malone. According to Wikipedia, we also had Midnight Express,
Fame, Shoot the Moon, Pink, Floyd the Wall, Birdie,
Angel Heart, Mississippi Burning, Come See the Paradise, and then the Commitments.
Yeah, it sounds like that is that's very weird filmography. So that's
that's quite a long that's quite a long gap before they were just like I
should I should say something. That is his apology for What's Birdie? Is
that the the overseas title for follow That bird All? The cover of Birdie
wooks fan fucking pastic please Matthew Modine and Nicholas Cage. Oh, I know
what Bertie has. Never mind. As soon as you said, Nicholas Cage,
I remember what Bertie is. I just see one of them wearing wings,
jumping off of a cliff and it looks incredible. I'm pretty sure that's
that's. That's Matthew Modine trying to get away from Nicholas Cage. Did Garry,
where are you going? You ever? Said? The video of the
guy, the French inventor who invented wings for flying, and I tested themuff
of the Eiffel Tower. U it didn't go instantly. Yes, yes,
I don't imagine it did. Is that what in kick Ass that's based on
when the guy jumps off the building with the wings and everyone thinks he's gonna
fly and he just goes straight down. I would assume so, because yeah,
it's it's interesting because it's very very old. It's from probably like the
eighteen eighties or something, and there is video of it readily available. Well,
I mean, I mean it shows it from a distance. You see
the guy jump and then like hit the ground. You don't, you don't
actually see anything. You just see the motion of him going down and just
you have that bag up, Chris, Chris? Does he get back up?
Chumbawamba was not singing about him. I don't think so. Why don't
you tell us so? The force of gravity to keep him kept him down?
Yeah? Yeah, I don't think there are any more wagger drinks or
any other kind of drinks in fact, in horse drinks, yes, or
whiskey drink. He's only going to be singing psalms reminding him of bad times.
Yeah no, I'd say he pissed that night away. His FID has
run his course. Yeah, please can we continue with the podcast? Chris
tell us what the Commitments is about. The Commitments is about a young Irish
upstart who wants to be involved in the music industry and decides that the best
way to do so would be to form Bob Geldoff. And that boy was
Bob Geldoff, And the best way to do that would be to form a
soul band from friends and other weirdos in his town. Yeah. So,
um, there's kind of an unspoken like, I mean, maybe that wasn't
necessarily Alan Parker's intention, but the unspoken sort of understory going on here is
that this is basically the story of Dexas Midnight Runners DEXI basically is it?
Because that, I mean, I think so they've they've basically started out as
like, you know, working class white Europeans, like, let's form a
soul band for their first album, before you know, they went all before
they went all heavy into like folk music with the second album that was the
one with come on, Eileen on it is that? Why? Halfway through
it? Because come on, Elie, there's there's not even anyone in the
film named Eileen. Yeah, there's a there. There is a guy named
Outspan, though Outspan is the best character name I have come across in a
very long time. Was that the original Dremmor? Oh that's Glen Hansard.
Yeah, yeah, the guy you said looked like a spin doctor, and
I said, looked like weird al weird al and now in and now in
retrospect, I think he looks a bit more like Kenny g. But that
is our good buddy Glen Hansard from Once and that really sad scene and syran
so saddest fucking song ever. Apparently he had such a bad experience working on
this film and classed with Allen Parker so much that he didn't even see the
full film until fairly recently, in the grand scheme of things like, he
just couldn't bring himself to watch it. Long after Alan Parker was dead.
I guess not that long. He died in twenty I guess not that long.
He died in twenty twenty. Yeah, so my dad loves the commitments.
He had the soundtrack, and as I was telling you guys, I'm
pretty sure he went on a date night with my mom to see this when
it came out, or he rented it from Blockbuster. They did the thing
where we got to rent our stupid kids movie, and he rented The Commitments,
so we probably rented like my girl and Thomas j couldn't find his glasses
and no, not the beast, Thomas Jay, not the beast, his
glasses. He can't see without his glasses, and they probably rent They probably
rented this, and my dad loved the soundtrack so much that he went out
right away and he bought it. I mean, fair enough, it's a
great soundtrack. And then he spent all those years talking with an Irish accent,
dressing like The Commitments. If anything, I'm sure my dad would want
to be calm meaning who I just have to let it be known is a
goddamn national treasure. Everything he says in this film is absolute gold. I
wrote down so many quotes of his just like this is blasphemy. Elvis wasn't
a Cajun fuck off carrot head so good, so Brian working out some aggression,
and I realized the reason why my dad loves this movie so much is
Wider Shade of Pale is one of his favorite songs of all Time that barely
comes up in the movie. Yeah, they there's a scene on the organ
and then they end the movie with the line with skip the light fandang.
Every time they're talking about it, they're making fun of it kind of.
I mean, Jimmy gets really upset when he gets the lyrics wrong. So
I think Jimmy likes the song, and I think, um, what's his
face glasses? I don't think he got really upset about it. I think
he corrected him Stevie, Stevie Stephen Stephen Clifford. He kind of looked like
Robert shom Leonard from a Death Poets. Have you ever watched the Peter seraf
what's the show? Yeah? It's it's fucking fantastic. If you haven't seen
it, definitely watch it. But there's this one recurring segment on it called
a House of Clones, and it's like just a bunch of Peter Saraphin and
what's his living in a house together like reality show style, and they're all
named Stevie. So they're like doing the talking head segment with one and they're
like, so, who do you think you're closest with? And i'd have
to say, Stevie, And who do you think is causing the most problems?
Definitely Stevie. That's very good. I think this movie, like I've
seen it so many times, but I think this time watching it, as
much as I love this movie, I got really creeped out. And it
was all caused by Jimmy the lip. No, Joey the lip, Joey
the lip, Joey the lips plural Joey the lips, multiple lips, yeah,
lips for days. Why were you creeping out by him? Well,
I'm I mean, there's the whole thing with all three backup singers, but
it's how close he gets when he like talks to people. He leans in
and he gets like like basically knows to knows. He's like, so,
here's a story about Wilson Pickett. It's like Jesus Christ, here's a mint,
and get the fuck away. That's him doing his little youth pastor thing.
I'm going to tell you about. I mean, the person who was
considered about Jay as us. It was a rebel sits down in a chair
backwards. His name was Jesus. Guys. I want to tell you a
story about a man who was kind of out there, did a lot of
things that people didn't like, but he had a message of you know,
multitudes. The man I'm talking about was persecuted and eventually killed. I'm talking
about Dracula, of course. Jesus, you know, toured with Lou Rolls
one time. But you know someone else, you know something, You'll never
find someone quite like Jesus. Jesus, I used to be just like you,
dirty, smelly, thinking I was the Sun of God. Oh.
Also, his whole spiel about have you been practicing the way that I told
you to pretending that it's you know, pretending that it's Kim Basinger's nipple.
Yeah, Yeah, that character seems like that. That that character definitely seems
like a pre hashtag me Too era character. And his mother, I'm pretty
sure escaped from one of the seasons of American Horror Story. Oh yes,
my boy. He has performed with all of them, you know, Wilson,
Piquett, Sam Coulson, Phillips, Ryan Mercy, Phillips, Emo Phillips,
Phillips, Colin, I mean Phil Collins, Phillips, Phips, Colin,
I think you've mean Phil Collins. It's possible. I'll think about it
while I play violin for nobody. No, there were there were several Phillips
so disciple Phil Collins. Does this remind you of a movie that we kind
of started this podcast with street, Yeah, very much so. The mom
from Singh Street is Natalie, the girl he ends up with. Ah,
So are we don't believe that Natalie actually becomes famous? I'm not. I'm
not really sure how the timeline works out. Yeah, And the whole thing
is like he's he's not actually talking to a real reporter at any point in
this, So I would assume that log is very much the same milk.
So I don't know how they cut a way to stuff. Well. I
love how what's his name gets punished for leaving the band by getting kicked in
the head with a horse. Yeah. As a drummer, I took umbridge
to that. Well, I kind of felt bad for that guy because like,
Deco was a major dick. Oh, Deco was a piece of shit.
Yeah, and he looked like he's And I honestly feel ad saying that,
knowing that you know, in our chat CEB made mention like that this
is who you were talking about when you said that was Irish John Green,
Right, yes, yeah, yeah, no, it's it's it's physical.
And if you take away the assholeshness, but keep like the like the eating
habits and like the drinking and stuff like, that's that's classic John Green of
like ten years ago, fifteen years ago. Make him a little less Northern
Irish and more Boston Irish. Yes, okay, there's only John John Green
would never be such a dick though. No, no, no, the
dick aspect is not him. But uh but you know the outgoingness, the
like grabbing a microphone out a wedding kind of mentality, Like I think that
that's that's all again him ten fifteen years ago. I was waiting for him
to just grab the mic at the wedding and be like, what's new,
puss a cad whoa Have you seen this movie before? Yeah? My dad
loves this movie. I grew up watching it. Why were you waiting for
that? Then? You should know that doesn't happen. You're such an asshole,
Scott. Are you okay? Has anything else been going on recently?
Jesus Christ, fuck you. I'm gonna get more of those emails asking if
I'm okay, stop it, then I have to like do another me holding
a newspaper with the date. I'm fine, I promise it's the Aphasia thing
all over again. Dewey wins election. What where did he find a newspaper?
Yeah, the complexity of having to like show the correct date, I
would have to print out a newspaper like a Boston Globe online. II shure
they would let you do it. Did you show up at Boston Globe just
like, hey, guys, you can do me a quick solid And they'd
be like, yeah, okay, Scott, fire up the presses. Because
because the Boston Club knows you by name, I don't have a dollar to
buy a physical copy. So I drove into town at a cost of probably
more than a dollar in gas and certainly in parking. And I would like
to ask you guys to print something out for me, if you don't mind,
fire up the presses. And they're just like, yeah, toads,
do you want any toast? Anyway? We also make toast here at the
Globe, We also make toast. Where where did that go from? I
was just thinking it would be great if they offered him something, and uh,
for some reason, toast was the first thing when you went with toast.
Just hey, we're great, but we have no butter. I just
want some tepid water with you. Just gotta get it down anyway possible.
We recommend using water. It's not just that it's like, oh, we
were making some toast through the commissary wa was of It's just oh, by
the way, we also make toast here. It's just for us, and
we're also we're also a diner with one item. We prefer to be called
a toasterry. It's like a patisserie, but toast. What kind of toast
do you want? Ry? Sorry, we only have white? What about
cinnamon raising? Seriously, we said, we only have white pomper nickel.
God damn it. You're gonna have to leave here and go to the South
Street diner a few blocks away. This is not Boston Globe attitude that you
are projecting right now. You're fired. Maybe they bring maybe they bring this
sort of work for you, not anybody they bring in this sort of Maybe
they tolerate this sort of ridiculousness over at the Boston Herald, but this is
the boss they definitely do. Oh yeah, no, the Harold Boston Herald
is mug Roup beer, but the Globe is Barks that's a good comparison.
I can't go into too many details, but let's just say I knew various
people who have worked at The Boston Globe, and that place, to me,
at least at the time, felt like it was run by like one
guy in five dogs. Like it just seemed like an absolute cluster fuck over
there. So not only they probably making toast over there, the management probably
doesn't even know that there's like an underground toast ring happening under their watch.
I like to imagine that those five dogs actually five dogs in a human suit,
and the one guy is just completely oblivious. The managing editor is just
two kids on top of each other in the trench. Cod. Hi,
I'm Jim Boston, and this is this is my partner. It's just clearly
a dog in a suit. Oh man, Apparently the little rascals run the
Boston Globe. I could see it working, still waiting on those proofs.
I'm still waiting on those proofs from that last article or those coming in.
I could see it working, Like, just make sure you get him in
at the end of the week, like the Good Place when the whole first
season, what's the character's name? I forget the character's name, one of
the main four ones, the one who at first pretends to be like a
wise Buddhist monk oh Jason Jason, Yeah yeah, And the whole first season
he just pretends that that's correct, because it is not. He's actually just
like an idiot from Sokal And basically he doesn't say a word, and Ted
Danson responds to him at all times like, oh, you're right, you
know, silence is the best thing. So he asked some questions, gets
nothing in response, and then thinks he's profound. And I think that's how
our dog manager works as well. I love when he calms him down and
he goes, how did you do that? Oh, a lady at the
clinic did it when I was having a panic attack. So going back to
the movie that we're here to talk about, what is your what is your
relationship to? I guess soul? I like it. Yeah, my parents
like grew up with a lot of soul and R and B music in my
house, so like, growing up there was a lot of like Stevie Wonder
and classic James Brown and that sort of stuff. So it's not like I'm
unfamiliar with it. But were you like were you like Jimmy when someone would
put jazz on, you'd be like, get the fuck out. Actually no,
that was the other thing that played all the time on my parents house.
My dad is a humongous jazz buff yeas music. Never never quite never
quite had that hair though never quite had the eraser head hair. That was
his face, that Dean, that Dean had COLEMI, yeah, no,
the saxoph Yeah, the guy, I said, looked like Kevin McDonald.
Okay, so then you offered and then you offered up two examples of Kevin's
McDonald. So Kevin, there are two Kevin McDonald's. There is the Kids
in the Hall Kevin McDonald, and then there is the filmmaker who made Last
King of Scotland and he made that documentary on when he Euston m The reason
why I found this story out is I listened to WTF with Mark Marin,
and Mark Marin asked his wtfh Mark Maron asked his booking agent to h get
Kevin McDonald and Kevin McDonald. The director shows up at this as He's like,
who the fuck are you? He's like, I'm Kevin McDonald. He's
like, no, you're not, and he's like, ah, fuck it,
I guess I'll talk to you. What movie did you make? Last
King of Scotland? Never saw it? And then like a week later he
had the other Kevin McDonald. I was just about to ask did he eventually
get kids in the Hall? Kevin mc a week later? I believe if
you check it says like Kevin McDonald and Kevin McDonald. But ye, Kevin
McDonald part two. But that's just that blows my mind, Like, why
would you think of like a guy who is known for being a comedian,
Why would you assume that he would want anyone else except for the comedian with
that same name. I don't know he hosted the President. I think this
was before that. I think this was way before that for the prestige.
But yeah, with this film, I feel that there are moments where I
think this movie is brilliant, and then there are other moments that I cringe
so hard. But I never cringe when I see, uh, Mica,
you mean Johnny o'green micas the street tough who joins in on drums. Oh
right, right, I was thinking of Deco. One of my favorite characters
is Mica. Yeah, he's he's kind of he he's wonderful. He would
he would beat up nazis the for sure bar fight scene with him where he
beats the shit out of the like the Loan Sharks who are harassing um Jimmy
Jimmy is possibly the most satisfying bar fight scene I've seen in anything before or
since. Yeah. I just love how it ends with Jimmy, who's still
had the shit kicked out of him, coming up to the stage and be
like, Okay, let me introduce the hardest working band. Yeah, and
then uh yeah, just as a drummer, I gotta say humongous respect to
make a never lost the beat, never lost the beat, once got off
stage, beat the shit out of everybody, got right back, went right
back to where he started. I just feel like the ongoing joke with this
movie is they can never get Mustang Sally right. Yeah. No, that's
something that happens repeatedly. It's it's very good. Yeah. Yeah. This
is the bar fight that has the second silliest soundtrack in in any film that
I've ever seen. Number one, of course, is Dirty Work. When
Escape the Pinot Coloda songs played F seven Street, Fat a Man, Rolling
Stones, you just said G seven if you're not panut good lot, you
see a guy like swing a pool queue across someone's back. Hey, real
cops, can I just really quickly like wrote, like, just sort of
shuffle back to the whole like them saying like jazz is for you know,
art douchebag sort of stuff. Um, there'd be no soul music without jazz
music. Jazz was like the prerequisite. So um, fucking fucking check yourself.
Jimmy, Well, Lily Patt, if if you haven't guessed, Jimmy
is kind of a poser. If pose you or you saying yes, he
he kind of doesn't know what he's talking about. Yep, He's He's literally
the brother. He's the brother from saying stream. He literally is the brother
from Sin Street. It's all come full circle. Also, uh, anyone
else from Deco were they getting, you know, Joe Cocker vibes? I
was certainly getting Jim Belushi as Joe Cocker vibes. Yeah, Cocker Cocker by
way of meat a little bit Jim Belushi. So I have a story for
you. Maybe I did mean Jim Belushi is Joe Cocker. Well, I
think you were part of this story, Lily Pad in college our friend went
to go see a Joe Cocker concert. Uh, that's why they missed out
on our improv group. And he came back, He's like, sorry,
I missed last week. I was out of Joe Cocker concert, and I
go, hey, did he did he do any covers? I get it,
you're supposed to do it? Ha ha ha Uh yeah, Well,
anyway, there was there any word on whether or not he gave everyone permission
to leave their hat on, I mean, don't don't leave us hanging?
Did he play covers? I don't know. I wasn't at that concert.
What about the hats, guys. I'm gonna do something a little different tonight,
gonnas gonna rot test some new songs in the workound. What if he
just started singing a cover but had no idea that it was a cover.
I got a brand new original for you tonight. I can't get no better
da saddest faction, better Rollings, do owns BANDA beta backh better band.
I got a brand new pair roll you got a brand new key. I
like the idea that he doesn't know the lyrics to these songs either, so
he's just kind of like bumming and buying his way through them. Oh,
this is entirely just performed by him acapella backing. Also that that's him going
bad bad? WHOA would you do if I got a pug again? You're
never gonna keep me down? He just combines stop thumping with will help from
my friends. I thought you were going in a different direction. I thought
you were going What would you do if I had to take a pooh stayed
up? And wo? I had a roommate who forgot the lyrics to that
song? He goes, WHOA would you do if I sang you a song?
He just dead stop. I was like, go on, buddy.
Makes me think back to Ernest Stave's Christmas and how he sang Christmas Tree,
Oh Christmas Tree, Oh Christmas Tree, Oh Christmas Tree, Oh Christmas Tree.
That's what I wish they did in this movie with Mustang Sally Mustang,
Sally Mustang, Silly Mustang, Sally Mustang tell Sally come on, Mustang,
come on, Sally Mustang, Sally Bannah ban ban Uh yeah. Um,
So I gotta talk about the entire band as a whole. Uh? Did
I did everyone have a favorite member that wasn't Micca, that wasn't Micca.
Yeah, mmmm, I did not think of that, but now I'm I'm
gonna think of that right now. Who is my favorite? That wasn't Micca?
I have a few that I think we're all right along the same level.
And uh one of them was Joey the Whips. Just just getting that
out there, Yeah, i'd say, I mean I would spend I just
like that. The gold Tarist is named out spans. Yeah, I Amilda,
Natalie, and um, who is it? I like Bernie? Yeah,
I like Bernie too. They're all great. Oh yeah, Bernie's um.
Bronna Gallagher, she's great, She's fantastic. She's going back to the
Peter Sarafanawich show. She's on that a bunch was she was she Missus Marple
when they did the Missus Marple thing? Yes? She was. I thought
she liked familiar scene. Who was she in pulp fiction Trudy? Yeah?
I think she was the drug scene where they have to go to the dealers
house do the adornal one shot. Oh she was the one who was JODI's
friend. Yeah, the one who wasn't Rosanna Arcat correct. So she didn't
meet you all the way? Uh no, she only met me halfway here.
Here's her description on the pulp fiction Wikipedia page. Bronna Gallagher plays Jody's
friend Trudy, who does little but smoke a bomb during the scene where Vincent
revives me up, who does not but smoke one ball. I'm guessing that
she got cast based on this movie because I was just thinking that, yeah,
Tarantino probably saw her, and this is like, oh yeah, maybe
you could cast her in my next movie, and uh, maybe she can
kick off. We can see what those feet of going with? What's going
on with those feet? Okay for the movie. For the movie. All
right, Uh, I'm gonna call you Bernie because I don't know your real
name. Can you put your feet in Velveta? No, God, damnit,
Quinton, that would be great if so. Here's how this scene works.
Here's how this scene works. I get to say the end word,
and you guys don't get to get mad Jesus and you were Velveta on your
feet, you guys think I'd like to think that Tarantino has like a game
that he plays, like a party trick where he blindfolds himself and then has
people step in like Velvita and Pudding and it's like that is tapioca. But
yeah, Burt, let's see, it has the resonance of banana, but
it could also be vanilla. I guess I'm just gonna have to look it
up to find out. Oh God, oh I'm sorry, that's too far.
Looks like it's time for the lightning round. That's what I call it
when I look up the pudding. So yeah. The backup singers are Mike,
Quentin Tarantino. Impression turned into track, Corey turned into a Corey felt
I wasn't gonna say anything. Could my friend Quentin sleep when your coach too?
I don't need to ideo store in my basement. Okay, come on,
sleep on my couch, put your feet up. No, Quentin Tarantino
is a bad man. I can explain more offline. You almost said Quintin
Varantino. Either way, he's a yeah, No, he's a he's a
bad man. I can tell you more off Mike, he's he's not just
Quintin Tarantino, He's Quintin Varantino for very bad clone variant yet up instead of
putting God not not not to still keep us off track, but like on
like the latest episode of Freedom, there was this very long tangent like based
around like a misspeak about like if someone else named Ed Begley Junior like wanted
to be an actor, his sagnate would have to be like Ed Begley different
Anyway, Anyways, my three favorite other characters are the backup singers, and
I love how quick they turn on each other. Yep, yeah, they're
ruthless. Yeah. And I had a question for everyone, and I'll be
totally honest. This is me speaking as an Irish American myself. Once,
once it reached the point, like near the end of the movie where they're
all just screaming at each other in the thickest of Northern Irish accents and just
punching each other, I could only look at that scene and just think this,
this seems right Christmas. The only problem is anyways, drunk enough.
My question for you is that's a Decco. Wasn't in the room he got
the crap beating out of him. He is in the alley bleeding to that,
having trapped. I'll be honest. I'll yeah, I'll be honest.
I kind of chuckled, like I don't know if this was intentional or not
when he just started pouring trash on him and it was just a ton of
cabbage or something. It just reminds me of the Simpsons. Potato man,
where the hell have you been? My question for you is how much you
want to bet that Emilda's baby is Joey the Lips and not greg Ooh,
that's unfortunate because, as he said, they had to get married because she
was having a baby. He's just born with a mustache. Wait, that
baby came out with a trumpet, had a very shockingly calm demeanor. It's
calling everyone brother rabbit. Yeah, when he knocks on the door. When
when joe Eyton hugs on the door and it is like God bless you and
he just has the ad in the newspaper and his trumpet. It's like,
okay, this is taking a turn. Also, why was this going?
Why why would you go to his house? Like, of all the people
to find a different practice space, don't go to a strange man's house who
claims to have played with you know, yeah, a strange man whose practice
space is a shed, a derelict shed that Yeah, two ladders, wh
to go up? Season? When to go down? Seas? And remember,
don't wear a kilt or a skirt. Yeah, one of the you
could catch yourself on something. Yeah, Oh, I have a story for
you. I went to uh, no story, and you didn't do it.
You don't get to do it. Fuck both of you. It's too
late to god, we did it. I hate you both. We should
actually record a proper just decoreum a proper stinger for this. I mean I've
been using the exact same audio sting like for the music. But anyway,
what's your story? Once upon the time go fuck yourselves? Oh? I
love that story. My dad used to tell me that story all the time
when I was little. I went to an axe throwing place this weekend and
there was a big guy named Viking Dave and he came out from out back
in a giant kilt, and he had two giant axes and he just threw
them at the bulls eye and he got like two bulls eyes right next to
each other. And I'm like, when the apocalypse comes, I want Viking
Dave on my team. That's a misnomer though he's wearing a kilt and claiming
he's a Viking. Don't I don't trust Dave. I don't trust Dave.
I don't trust his axe throwing abilities, and he said he came from the
eye. I think the only like the stake. I think the only way
that I think, the most perfect way for that story to have ended was
like he just throws it like bulls eye, both takes a big swig of
beer and just turns to like the people's like, play my song. If
you're like Peter Colado, play my song, you say, I don't want
to hear what I want to He starts like visibly tearing up, and play
my song. Play my song that I play whenever I kick ass? Who
will save your son? He came home? That's a song I forgot him
out until just now, Good old Sean Colvin. Yeah, it's good anyway.
It's replacing some basic math in my head in terms of knowledge that I
retained, So thank you for that. You don't you don't need to know
quadrilaterals. What play my song? This is the story of a girl greg
a river and jam the whole world that that story. I know that song.
I know because there's an online blog called The Daily Adventures of mixer Man,
and it's really really funny. I think the whole thing is still online,
but it's by an engineer who was producing a band that he didn't name,
but based on clue throughout, I'm pretty sure it's Nine Days, the
band that did Story of a Girl. And he just talks about just the
experience of dealing with a new band that Alabel is like kind of excited about
but not really and just how shitty like day to day everything is doesn't have
their shit together. Yeah, exactly, and he gives everyone nicknames, like
the drummer who can't play, I forget what his name is. Fuck,
he gives him a name, or the fact that he has no rhythm.
There was Stacco, It's good stuff and out spam out. It was just
the commitments. Oh so one note that I did have that opening flea market
bit is so depressing, Like I know that's kind of the point, but
it just like, there's a flea market that used to be in Lynn on
the Lyndway right by the building nineteen slash shot Massachusetts Merchandise Building nineteen Yeah.
Well yeah, so that's that's a very New England reference. And if you
google image search it, I think you'll probably get the picture there. But
it was next door and shared the show up. Yeah, it was next
door to a place then shared a wall with a place called the Massachusetts Merchandise
Mart. And I know it was called that because it was painted in enormous
letters on the roof and if you ever flew into Boston and the plane had
to circle it all you would see it from a plane, but in puff
paint. Yeah. That place, my friend Rick and I called the dark
Gray Market because it was the sort of place where, like if you needed
to get a new inbox, Sega master System, communion robes, and like
a stabbing knife as opposed to like like a cutlery knife, specifically a master
System, not a Genesis. Yes, if you wanted to get those three
item I thinking, I'm thinking of a mega drive if you only, if
you only had time to stop at one place and eat it all three items.
Massachusetts Merchandise smartis where you go, and you might get mugged on your
way out. That was less depressing to the beginning of you guys want to
Sega dreamcast and some apple juice. Bad news, we're all out of apple
juice. I don't don't know if they all did, but that building nineteen
served food which I don't feel comfortable. No, no, no, no,
no, no no no no no no no no no no no no
no no, do not eat that food ate there was dead? Did anyone
recognize that like most like two out of the three cores are in this movie.
Yeah, I know, I did notice that. And Andrea core I
looked it up. She was seventeen during this and like they became popular like
three years later, two years later. She looks like a child in this
and when the Chors debut as a band, she looked like just a normal
adult. Like the difference two or three years made for her was insane.
Did I leave your breathless the breathless that's their big song? Sure is hitting
the tracks with leave Me Breathless by the Chords? Please? Did you guys
have Channel one News in your school grown up? Yes? I remember.
They were being commercials at the time for like whatever albums were popular at the
time, and it was there was some girl who was talking about her different
family members and what albums they should get, and she's like, my brother
thinks the chords are dreamy. Oh god. That girl went on to kill
six men. We call her the Black Widow. She also said, my
dad must be the only person on the play it who doesn't have hoody and
the blowfish is cracked rear view. My brother thinks the cores are dreamy,
so he should get pet Your Friends by Dishwallah. My favorite album is the
So I Married an Axe Murder soundtrack. It has three different versions of There
She Goes, but only one of them is the Laws. Now play that
track. I just wanted to if you'll do it. Yeah, touching really
quickly back on to like what you mentioned about, like the flea market as
part of a larger point, and I know, like this is this is
like this is just part of the whole that was that was Ireland during that
time, but like every time it just cuts to like, oh, the
kids are playing like by literally just setting a big thing on fire or something
like that. It's like, I know that this is basically meant to paint
a picture of how shitty Northern Ireland was at the time, But holy fuck
that was depressing. And also Ry Girls didn't show that. No, Dairy
Girls was just more depressing in every other way possible. Yeah, it's interesting
too, because it's like, on one hand, yeah, it's depressing,
and on the other hand, it's like, bitch I grew up North of
Boston, like that was our entertainment too. Yeah, it just makes me
think of that tweet someone put out that just said, my friends and I
would have killed Et with hammers. I can tell you that much. This
movie had one of my favorite things. If if you want a movie to
become like my new favorite, have a video store in it. Like when
they when they're sitting in a video store watching James Brown. I'm like,
this is the greatest movie ever, even as a kid. That's why I
rented Last Action Hero so many times because there is a scene in a video
store. I just love that scene with them watching James Brown. And you
can see copies of Oh man, what was what was the horror movie that
they had the giant poster for? Did you recognize it? CB? I
did. I completely clopped it and I no longer Yeah, I was like,
uh, nice was that was that? That poster that was like you
were scared of the fly, and you were scared of the thing you'll be
scared of. And what's funny is people still talk about two of those poo
poo man. I think the thing that breaks my heart the most in this
movie is how naive everyone is and as soon as they start to get a
little taste of fame, they just turned into the biggest assholes. I mean
it's not even like it's not even like that's not fame. Man, I've
been in a band. I know it's not fame. I mean I mean
like people come see them and sing along and it basically becomes like the biggest
I want to say, you know, thing in their lives, but if
I say that, then I'm going to get really sad. Well, you've
got to remember too that their last show was very well attended under completely false
pretenses, which technically weren't false pretenses. No, they weren't. Um although
they you know, they ended up being just by nature of like Wilson Pickett
not being able to show up in time. But but that is why the
place was that packed out. It wasn't because they were becoming that huge.
Like to date, they played like one show like Way the Funk out of
town and at a roller rink, and then they played another like church fundraiser
function that so that's like all they've done. They haven't really that was their
big night moment. Yeah, yeah, that was like their first big show.
Yeah. I love or I should say I would have loved for Wilson
Pickett's manager to be like, sorry, we're late. You see, Wilson
had some card trouble. We we we you know, aren't used to driving
on the other side of the road, so we hit, you know,
some stuff and hit so many people. As you can see, the front
of our car is very damaged from the people that we have hit. There's
still some hair and committed and murder. Oh I said we hit people.
Oh I thought you guys were the commitments. No, I'm just kidding.
Yeah, but we're definitely gonna go to jail. Not if we catch the
red eyeback. What is it going to take to Matthew Broderick this, but
yeah, to once again throw in like a big reference that nobody except people
in Boston are going to get, Like the way they just imploded would be
like if I just like turned into a major dickhead the moment I played my
first PA's Lounge show. Yeah, and somehow you got people to PA's Lounge,
but still it was just pas Lounge at the end of the day.
Yeah, And the problem with PA's Lounge is that it's hard to play there.
Not because it's hard to book or anything, like that. But you
know, on occasion, the shitter's there overflowing and they cancel the show when
you're arriving with your gear. You know, sometimes things like that happen.
Oh man, was this a Chris stories that just got really sad? Not
directly, No, it was up my old bend, very lamar. Before
I joined, they had a PAS shows scheduled, and they got there and
started unloading, and the woman who works at the bar came out. She's
like, guys shows canceled, the toilet's all clugged up, the shit everywhere.
Oh man, Oh oh, Lily Pad, do you think that Outspan,
the way his story ends is with him busting outside of a store.
Do you think this is a shared universe with Once? I mean, there's
nothing to suggest otherwise. I mean that's that's more or less confirms in a
fact as far as I'm concerned. Well, because his character never has a
name, and Once he's just called guy guy. I mean, if if
his name was I Outspan, I'd probably just be like, just just call
me guy. Watching him with like a normal guitar that doesn't have a giant
hole in it, I was like, yea, his last his last name's
Foster. Just say your name's Foster outspan Foster. No, just just this
guy. With this movie, we needed more Colmini. We got him in
four scenes, and we needed him in like at least six. Yeah.
I would have very, very much liked a lot more of him. Yeah,
when when Deco threatens to leave the band, I just would have loved
for him to push him off the stage and be like, we know the
mother dog. Right after the Lips, uh has a talk with Jimmy at
the very beginning when he's first introduced, and uh Colemini asked him, like,
who the hell was that, and Jimmy's like, God sent him and
me, and he just responds, Suzuki. Yeah. I love how every
time you see someone on the back of uh Lips Suzuki, you're like,
oh, no, he's dating he's dating them now. And then he goes,
Jimmy, do you want to ride? I was like, don't get
on there. He's the best. He's yes, he puts on shaft,
he does a monologue. That scene was kind of upsetting. It was I
don't see it as being upsetting because it's not like I don't know she was
there. She was into it. No, it's because he was talking over
the theme from Shaft, and I love the movie Shaft. Do not interrupt
Isaaka's damn it. I think the absolute best case scenario we can all agree
is like after he says that instead of instead of Bernie popping up, called
MENI pops up instead, you really am at Elvis shut your own mouth.
So I have an inside baseball question about this film that i'd like to pose.
I don't think we have the answer to this, and unfortunately, since
I went Parkers no longer with us, I don't think we're ever going to
get the answer. Do you two think he sought out the naughtiest boy in
Dublin to be in this film? Well? That was that was Mica,
Who's yeah. I'm just wondering if he was the naughtiest boy in London.
Similar to how the bad guy whose name I don't remember and don't care from
Guffy Oh fat Sam, that's right? How yeah, how he went to
a school and asked for the naughtiest boy in the school. So I wonder
if he just kind of continues that for every film, I want the biggest
rascal. There is more of a scallywag. If you will just it's that
exact phrasing that bothers me. I would like to speak to the y'all rap
scallions. Did you did you notice Alan Parker is in this movie? I
did not. Yeah. At the very end he's one of the producers.
He's he's the guy at a from IDGID Records. Oh that's him. Yeah.
Oh, he gets a coffee thrown at him, except there's a window.
That wasn't coffee, that was a Guinness. Oh. There is a
point in this movie where I think that Deco is kind of nice and approachable.
It's when he is eating his beans and he's like, I'm not a
singer. He's like, I heard you sing. He's kind of being nice
in that scene, and then complete prick for the rest of the movie.
I getty much. I gotta say, Scott, you're incorrect. That was
not Allen Parker. Oh shit, it was comedian Sean Hughes. Sean said
it said that Sean Parker was from Sean Hughes. Stop it then, which
one was Alan Parker? The film's director. Alan Parker plays an unnamed producer
at Egitt Records at the end of the film. Yeah, no, I
know, But when the guy says, I'm a producer from me J Records.
I assume that that's who that was because I was looking at the IMDb
when I was supposed to be watching Sean Hughes. Is Sean Hughes is the
Egitt Records guy who has lines? Oh, Alan Parker is just there like
behind the mixing board. So you know who that was though, right?
No, Sean Hughes, stop saying that. So one thing that I did
find out about this that was genuinely interesting and weird. Do you know who
the kid on the skateboard was who wanted to audition for the band? And
Uh, Sean Hughes was this time? It wasn't? Uh? Was it
was it Tony hawk from a police academy for citizens on patrol filling in for
David Spade. No, it was David Spade filling in for Tony Hawkey if
he owed him one. No, yeah, you know how I'm talking about
that, right, The kid on the skateboard who wants to I can sing,
Yeah, he wants to audition outside the window. Uh. That boy
or I guess individual at that point is Peter Rowan, who was the boy
from the covers of You two's boy and war mhmm. But if he did
start singing and he was just like one love, one Love, I mean,
if he did, it's frightening because I don't think that album was out
yet. You just kept saying New Year's Day, New Year's Day. Uh
yeah, so anything else or should we get into the tracks? Um?
Right at the very end, when like Jimmy is just sort of giving it
to giving it to Joey on his h on his like motorcycle a bat,
like you know how he's pissed that Wilson Pickett never showed up. And then
like like what Joey makes that whole point a bad like it's it's not about
like, you know, the fame and stuff they think of this the art
and Jimmy, I forget what if this is exactly what he said, but
Jimmy is just like it's piss and walks away like didn't it just sort of
look like joe Like Joey Fagin had like an expression on his face where it's
just gonna be like not piss. It was a piss, wasn't piss?
Well, when he's doing his whole speech when he's like, I'm sorry you
feel that way. I'm like, that's that's what like a parent says to
a kid when the parents screws up and refuses to apologize. You promised Wilson
Picket. You never knew Wilson Pickett. Oh, I'm sorry you feel that
way, but I didn't know Wilson Pickett now didn't I that's also something.
That's also something that someone who doesn't want to apologize says to make it look
like they apologized. Yeah, yeahs a piss. Well, I'm sorry you
feel that way. It was a piss. Just drove home like sadly,
just like piss. It was a piss. It was a piss. I
didn't know Wilson Picket. Not priss. Mom, please stop playing your violin.
I'm having a moment here. The lips, they're not piss. I
don't think it much stuff bothered that man. If anything, that would just
make it all the funny. Apparently he is the greatest lover in all of
Ireland. That's sad oh man, Yeah, oh yeah. Those those twins
were fucking creepy. Yeah. I love when they're like, Mom said,
we could get some soda and some crisps? How much quick fifty? Really?
I love hell, Colemini has no idea how much things cost. I
could watch two hours of a movie that moms week. Okay, how much
does that cost? So really what? Okay, just reaches into his wallet,
pulls out like the shining thing from Marcella's Wallace's briefcase and hands it to
them. I love I love Colemeni's face at when they're at the uh jim
Boree when they're at the I guess the stop heroin concert. I'm calling it.
Um he just when he's on the soundboard, when Jimmy's on the soundboard,
and he just looks at him and just gives him off, just a
little acknowledgement. They sound good. It had been Again, this may only
be something that mystery science theater fans get, but it had big pod people
energy during that scene in like the recording studio, where like those two producer
guys are like, these guys are good, good, They're the best.
It sucks, It stinks, Okay, with with the actual movie itself,
if there was no music in it whatsoever, I would think it's the greatest
comedy ever. They start to play music and then something just breaks it up.
This would be the greatest. That does sound pretty good. Oh she
may bee. Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, you guys
didn't pay your tap, you don't get to sing. Every scene is like
that one scene in Spinal Tap where they just hit one chord and the power
goes out. What's his name starts playing the saxophone. Someone chucks a beer
bottle, knock him out him. They're like concerts over. You know what
it would be like every time they're about to saying Mika gets into a fight,
and that a fight's so big that it knocks everything over. How did
he become the best drummer in like a day? He's not playing anything complicated.
Oh I thought he was like John Travolta from Phenomenon. I mean he
might have been. We don't. We don't. We haven't seen the unedited
version of the script, so I mean it's just speculation this part. I
mean, well, he becomes a thrash metal guy. No, he's he's
becomes a punk guy. Oh well, a hardcore punk guy, which is
not that far removed from thrash metal. Both of you all can fuck off.
Okay, let's get into the tracks. Yeah, fucking don't at me,
Henry rawlins, Yeah, what the fuck are you gonna do? Uh
fucking Doyle? All right, let's get into the tracks, tracks, tracks,
tracks before you just start fighting each other. Oh no, I was
just gonna trying to fight him. I'm trying to fight outdated hardcore punk people.
I think it was the Onion Ones that had um like one of their
advice columns, and it was asked Henry Rawlins and like people would ask like,
oh, I'm having trouble getting my points to grow this season, do
you have any words of advice? And then it would just be this long
story about being on tour with the black flag and a van. Yeah,
that didn't help me. Yeah, fucking what are you gonna do? Wadi
Buchan from The Exploited. Let's get to the tracks finally, So they're there
are two volumes to this motion picture soundtrack. If we're going by what it
says on Wikipedia, we're just covering like the original, right, yeah,
okay, so the God did have the two volume one? Was that?
Was that a constant listen in your household growing up Scott? Actually? Surprisingly
yes? Was it consistently like three o'clock rolls around and just like, hey,
guess what? Oh no, it's grits, ain't groceries time. No,
but when there was party okay, asked and answered, when there were
dinner parties, my dad would put on that album anyway. The Commitment's original
motion picture soundtrack released in nineteen ninety one, produced by Paul Bushnell, Kevin
Killen, and Alan Parker. It's a it's a bunch of covers. It's
a whole bunch of covers, The Commitments covering classic soul songs. Not not
a jukebox musical, thought, yeah, because that means you would have to
hate it, right. Well, if it was a jukebox musical, the
songs would just break out like their fucking Broadway songs, and they would have
no connection to the they would have no connection to the story whatsoever, and
they would just be shoehorned in with no explanation, and it'd be stupid.
These are not stupid, kind of like on that one episode of Passions Passions,
Yeah, you know, the one with the doll boy. No,
I never saw Passions. Oh. It was a bizarre soap opera that existed
like around two thousand and two thousand and one, and its pattern was every
week it would start like a normal soap opera on Monday, and by the
time Friday rolled around, it was like Balls of the Wall, just like
insanity, and there was a witch lady who had a doll that came to
life. Yeah, like that would be the sort of stuff you would see
like come Thursday or Friday. Then like Monday, it would revert back to
being more like a normal soap opera, and then by Friday they'd be like
a fucking werewolf. So like one story would like last the entire week.
It would reset as much as it could within reason. That sounds very silly
anyway. Trust Number one Mustang Sally sing the song they never really complete.
Yeah, I mean yeah, it's the first song they play it too,
so it's it's fitting. Yeah, yeah, I appreciate. I appreciate that.
Like at the very beginning, when they're like all just sitting down to
play Mustang Sally, they all just kind of sound a little bit like shit,
And it's not just like, you know, just some movie cliche of
like they all came together. It's like, oh, we're brilliant. It
sounded like they were being held hostage. He's like Mustang Sally right, Sally
here right? Yeah. Interestingly, Deco was the only one who was competent
from the get go. Well maybe that's maybe that's where Zego came from.
He was meat Loaf. He well, he is a talented singer. That's
like the whole thing with him. He is talented, but and a nant
acts are really seriously that was that was a meat Loaf joke. Oh okay,
Oh well, I mean that helped meat Wolf though on his transition into
becoming an underground artist. Ah, because he's dead. J Jack, that's
the darkest joke you've ever told on this podcast. Jesus, I got up
the empty track number two, Take Me to the River. It was good.
Yeah, it's a good cover of Taking into the River. Still,
my favorite is talking Hating Ads. Yeah, yeah, yeah, it's it's
hard to beat that version. M hmm. I saw Springsteen do a version
of that in the middle of tenth Avenue free Zone. It was when he
was playing at um Fenway and he's like you have the Da Da and he's
like, dab it to the river and I just go wrong. Song would
have been better if he did it in the middle of the sixth Daddy's playing
the wrong song. Someone has to tell him I run up to the stage,
mister Springsteen, mister Springsteen, you just run on stage and like do
a little cut the sound. Like cut the sound, cut the sound.
There's been a grievous error in judgment. You have to start this song over
again. Single. All these people paid for a show, and you're giving
them live. All these people paid five thousand dollars through Ticketmaster. All these
people paid five thousand dollars for incredibly shitty seats and parking. Because it's Fenway
track number three, another New England references, Let's see how many more we
can get in here. I think Fenway is a little bit better known than
Fuckings Lounge. Uh track number three, Chain of Fools, it's got This
version of Chain of Fools is fine, it's not my faye all. I
feel like all of the songs that they did were perfectly good songs. I
feel like we're not really going to have that much to say about them as
compared to, like if we do like an actual musical musical, because like,
at worst, they're just perfectly competent, you know, covers, the
soul music I have a hot take on on when we get to the otis
spreading cover and when we get to Try Little Tenderness. So um, actually
I like the Black Crow's version. Batter is that it the Black Crow's version
of chaina Fools? No, um, hard to handle. I was thinking
of the ODIs writing song. H oh, not that one, I was.
I was thinking of Try Little Tenderness. But is that the Is that
the song where Chris Robinson goes like, hey, little thing, let me
light the candle because your mom I show not Donna dada yep, but no,
no, no, you gotta emphasize the show of shore. They're opening
for Aerosmith's final tour. I assume you guys would saw that we getting tickets.
Fuck no, come on, guys, Christop Robbins and has to pay
alimonia to Kad Hudson. They're they're playing New Year's Eve on Boston. That's
gonna be a disaster. Yeah, that's where probably Fenway. No, they're
playing it add Garden, I think seriously, Yeah, yeah, they wouldn't
play the Garden of New Year's Eve. Oh, they're playing the d D
Garden. I saw like the the tour poster on Facebook a little bit ago.
Now, they family did a crazy live concert in the middle of winter
like a few years ago. I can't remember which one it was. Well,
they have been a dropkick Murphy's concert. A couple of my brothers saw
Aerosmith on New Year's Eve, like in the nineties at some point, and
the most notable thing I remember them talking about is how Aerosmith missed the actual
countdown and admitted to this folly and then said we're gonna do our own countdown
and at like twelve fifteen or whenever they did their own like countdown from ten.
I guess they did want to miss a thing. Yeah, that was
right when that song came out. I would imagine too, So maybe they
were too busy just fucking gemming on a Diane Warren song to notice the time.
Don't want to close Mars. She's never gonna win an oscar to dude
to two nominated sixteen times. That was the only time that we got you.
Sorry, I'm gonna stop talking about. After that, we got track
number four, The Dark End of the Streets, The Dark Time. That
one was also pretty good. It's fine. Yeah. After that, we
got track number five, Destination Anywhere God. That that one was also.
Oh, was this the one in the back at the chips fan. I
maybe I think this one was I don't know. I actually really liked that
they worked this in there, and I love the guy who's like, hey,
do you have any crisps? They're like, fuck off, but we've
got We've only got sold back here zoom, but I'm so hungry. Well,
we only opened this window because someone farted. I imagine that's how it
is a wat of food trucks. Yeah, we didn't want to work,
but Deco farted, so now we're serving. Went a little Bostonian there for
a second. We didn't want to work today, but Deco foted. Well,
Techo moved to Southey and now he works on a food truck. He'd
totally be like one of those like Irish bartenders like this, Like I always
loved telling this story, Like there was this one time, like there's a
bar in Lowell called called the Old Court. It's like a classic Irish bar,
and I just went. I tried to order like an angry Chards,
like do you have angry orchard? And the bartender responded no, only angry
bartenders, I hope you said, can I have my drink? There's a
bar A friend of mine worked at in Charlestown, and I'm I don't want
to name it um because I used to hang out there after hours with him
and his Irish coworkers and UM we'd drink until like three to thirty and they
just be like chain smoking in an establishment where weakly they could have me chain
smoking. It was good stuff. I want to open up bar named Escape
now and only serve Peanut colottus. You know what, Scott, that probably
already exists googling. I'm googling next. You're doing that track number six,
I can't stand the Rain. Oh God, it's fine. Like the middle
of this album is like fine. It's the beginning and the end for this
album that's really strong for me. Do you do you think that that song
ever gets into fights with Here comes the Rain again? Sure? Here's tract
number seven, the aforementioned Try a Little Tenderness. Oh you got it?
What do you got for us? Scott? This is next to well uh
otis reading at Monterey Pop. This is my favorite version of Try a Little
Tenderness. Really, I really love this version, and it's probably because I
grew up at the age of like five listening to this version and I think
his voice is really incredible when he does it, but it also reminds me
of the Monterey Pop version where otis Redding is like, uh, he basically
starts doing a different version of Gotta geta He goes got to got to haynn
then like he's trying to start a car and and he kind of does it
into well, that's a lawn mower. But yeah, I love this version
of Try Little Tenderness. I think it's really good. Um and it also
knowing that it's basically the end of the band kind of breaks my heart.
M hm. I think it's always kind of funny that like this song is
just like the otis reddis vert Redding vert reddis. The the Otis Redding version
basically turned it into like this is a soul standard when it was originally written
by like the fucking rain Noble Orchestra as just like a sort of try Nash.
It's like a fucking megaphone crooning song the thirties. I got an update.
Escape Bar and Grill does in fact exist. It is in the Dominican
Republic, but yeah it exists, and what you would think it would be.
But does it only serve peanut coladas? That's the only drink I wanted
to sell. I don't know if it's only peanut coladas, but if you
look at their Facebook page, there's a lot of peanut coladas and getting caught
in the rain. I mean it's the Dominican Republic. They get their share
of rain. I would not be surprised if they have an item on the
menu that they call the pina colada. Oh yeah, yeah, parentheses like
from the song next track, track number eight, treat her right. This
one was fine. Yep h Track number nine, Do right woman, Do
right man? This one was also fine. I actually don't like this one.
That was fun. Really it's okay. It's just like of all the
songs that are we have, we have a division of the ranks here,
all right, Yeah, tie your hands together and gry knife fight on the
stone bridge, d dude, far to the dearth. After that we got
track number ten, Mister Pitiful, same now feel so blude. Oh they
call me mister pitable because I awesome, just like the call me sopitible just
in the bottes, the calm and so beautiful. I really like this version
of mister pitiful because he is pitiful because Deco is mister pitiful this Oh my
god, you're right. This version of the song. I would like to
share it as well. Uh was featured in an episode of Frazer. The
episode is ros in the Doghouse. If anyone's interested in, uh scouting that
out now, we'll want to hear Deco do a cover of Toss salad and
scrambled eggs. That would be really good. Oh, for God's sake,
Nils Cook got Nils track number eleven. I never loved a man. I
love them, so I hallo sometime. Whose song that was this? Amalta?
I think this was an Amelda song? Yeah? Yeah, they were
mostly emotional. I generally tend to assume that, like all the ones that
are by like Mary Wells, Aretha Franklin and Peebles, these are all Amelda
songs. Chain of Fools was Natalie right? I mean, I mean one
of the backup singers. Yeah, they're called the Amelda's right. Yeah,
they're called the committ Ats. Mmmm. I don't think that was official.
That is an incredibly clumsy portmanteau. Yeah. I think he said that jokingly,
because later on he just referred to them as the chartreuses. All right,
Mom's also not too that's also not very good. He just had the
ship kicked out of himself. Here or in the shirt Roses. Could someone
give me some crackers here out their shirt Roses, here the ship Roses.
I'm very dizzy and tired. I just need to take them. Oh,
you need to sit down. I taste pennies. Do you want to know
the name of my axe throwing team that we call ourselves? Because you had
a team, Yeah, it was a it was a group of friends.
You needed to have a team name. I am going to go out in
a limb and say the Scott Stories. No, okay, Roses was it?
That's that's much better than the Blue Barracooters. All right, keep going,
We're almost done. Gosh, track number twelve in the Midnight Hour ride
more and more and more. I still like the Wilson Picking version better,
but this is fine. After that, we got track number thirteen, Bye
Bye Baby Bright but bas City Rollers. Yes, did they do a cover
Bye Bye Baby? That got that got me? What I was saying,
ba b that that that got me for some reason. But this was fine.
It was fine. After that we got track fourteen, slip Away,
originally a Clarence Carter. Song is the Boy by Anees Clarence Carter, perhaps
famous on the Internet as the guy who did the song stroking. When I
started making love, I don't just make loves, I'd be stroking. That's
what i'd been doing. I'd been stroking, and I mean I thought it
was um it was the guy from those uh sci fi books that was on
Mars, John Carter. MARSA. That's John. That's John Carter. He
did not do a song called stroking. That's gonna be his cousin or something.
Okay, I don't remember this one. That one, and I recall
also being quite good. Okay at that. That's that's the soundtrack. There
was volume two. We're we're not gonna talk about it. No, we
don't have time. In general, I've got to say with this soundtrack that
its greatest strength is that it's a collection of these songs together in one place.
So if you're in the mood to hear this group of songs, you
have one place to hear them. I don't necessarily think any of them outshine
the original versions, or if they do, it's not by a whole lot.
But again, like just having one spot to hear a bunch of like
great soul tunes. It's you can't go wrong with it, right, So
we have a rating system on this podcast. If it's a good movie musical,
it's hell of a musical. Do I really need to do this?
I think we're all on the same page. I think you do. Because
al Genteel completely through the rating system into disarray last time. We're not doing
that by introducing arcs. No, we're not doing that. I swear to
God. Go on, we're not doing that. Well. If we were
in a hypothetical make belief, no, stop it. I swear to God,
I will end the zoom. No. Someone who doesn't listen to our
podcast creating a new rating system, not knowing that we have a rating system,
I'm not doing that. It makes me think of the Far Side cartoon
where there's a family of Winnings driving in a car and the father's turned around
yelling at the kids, saying, if you kids don't cut it out,
I'm gonna drive off the first cliff. I see, that's it, back
to Winnipeg. So I was just thinking that, Yeah, Cape Canaveral for
anyone bad movie musical as hell as a musical, mad Purgatory, Pete,
I'm guessing where all going with hell of a musical? Yeah, mine's kind
of Mine's kind of a light hell of a musical. But like I mean,
I liked it. I don't think I liked it quite to the decree
that both of you guys did. But then, like, that's a movie
both of you have seen just a ton of times. Yeah, yeah,
no, I've I've seen this movie a handful of times and I really enjoy
it. So yeah, there'll be how many more Alan Parker musicals? Do
we have left just a wall? Or do we also have fame too?
There's also a Vida. Oh he did a Vita? Yeah, don't cross
like it, but we promised, and we promised David Allan Prescott a Vita?
Oh boy, And Angela's Ashes is a musical too. Right, jeez,
there's the darkest thing you've said. Now here's the thing. I actually
have genuinely no idea what that movie is about. I know nothing about it.
Based on its title. I assume it's a romantic comedy. No,
okay, okay, So if it's a memoir, it's about someone's shitty childhood
growing up in Ireland, it's a very dark and sad movie's Hey, this
is about someone shitty childhood crowing up in Ireland. It show us Pugsy Malone
CB. Do you want to promote anything? M Yeah, go out and
see Angela's Ashes, because I feel like everyone could probably from seeing this movie
and knowing more about it, so we don't make any more jokes about it.
You're the only one, Lily Pad. Why do you want to promote?
Just email us and tell us when you see the naughty boy that Alan
Parker picked out? Are you the naughty boy? I'll never tell because I'm
dead. I have another podcast called Writer's Big Basket, and I have a
mini series that I did with TV called When Scary Mit Stabby. We're recording
now Instagram dot Com, Slash three sixty five Records. In twenty twenty three,
I'm doing like a themed month and for the entirety of May, where
I review local band albums. I just did my first one today. I
did March of the Mannequins by Glass Mannequins. Go check it out. Oh,
hell yo, and I gotta. I got a couple of albums I
can recommend for you off one Oh, I've already picked all my albums.
Oh really, yeast, I actually planned this one out ahead of time.
Yeah, I was. I was struggling by the time I got to the
end of my local music one. Oh. I planned things out like I
had a time, Like literally, anytime anyone like offers me a request,
I just pushed the list down a little bit. So remember, if you're
exasperated and doing a podcast about the commitments you might be me. What if
you weren't, wouldn't that be weird? Yeah? You know who I think
you might be if that were the case. A redneck Sean Hughes Bye Bye
