1
00:00:00,040 --> 00:00:02,359
Speaker 1: Hey, everyone, this is Doug Gray for Norman, Oklahoma, and

00:00:06,960 --> 00:00:10,080
Speaker 2: They didn't start the fire. No, they didn't light it,

5
00:00:10,160 --> 00:00:21,679
but they'll try to fight it. Hello everybody, and welcome

6
00:00:21,719 --> 00:00:24,879
back to the Sureley You Can't Be Serious Podcast Special

7
00:00:25,039 --> 00:00:28,000
Edition five Minutes of Fire. We are here talking about

8
00:00:28,199 --> 00:00:31,359
the lyrics of We Didn't Start the Fire by Billy Joel.

9
00:00:31,399 --> 00:00:33,719
We're covering only five minutes at a time, which is

10
00:00:33,759 --> 00:00:35,399
about to link with the song, so it works out

11
00:00:35,439 --> 00:00:38,240
kind of nicely. So please join us as we dive

12
00:00:38,359 --> 00:00:40,880
into some new lyrics today.

13
00:00:40,920 --> 00:00:42,960
Speaker 1: All right, guys, so here are the topics that we're

14
00:00:42,960 --> 00:00:44,320
going to be covering today.

15
00:00:44,439 --> 00:00:46,640
Speaker 2: Davy Crockett's, Peter Pan, Elvis.

16
00:00:46,320 --> 00:00:52,000
Speaker 1: Presley, Disneyland, Davy Bucket. All right, d what can you

17
00:00:52,039 --> 00:00:53,439
tell me about Davy Crockett?

18
00:00:53,439 --> 00:00:56,880
Speaker 2: Okay, Davy Crockett is a historical figure, but not one

19
00:00:56,920 --> 00:01:00,000
from nineteen fifty five. But what happened in nineteen fifty five?

20
00:01:00,000 --> 00:01:04,239
It was that Disney aired a five part series called

21
00:01:04,400 --> 00:01:08,040
Davy Crockett. The series starred Fest Parker as real life

22
00:01:08,040 --> 00:01:12,239
frontiersman Davy Crockett, and Buddy Ebsen from Beverly Hillbilly's Fame

23
00:01:12,439 --> 00:01:15,920
as his friend George Russell. The first three and the

24
00:01:16,000 --> 00:01:20,400
last two episodes were then made into theatrical films, the

25
00:01:20,439 --> 00:01:23,120
first one called Davy Crockett, King of the Wild Frontier,

26
00:01:23,319 --> 00:01:26,280
second one called Davy Crockett and the River Pirates. The

27
00:01:26,359 --> 00:01:29,640
series really had a big hit with the catchy theme

28
00:01:29,799 --> 00:01:32,560
the Ballot of Davy Crockett. Davy Crockett, King of the

29
00:01:32,560 --> 00:01:33,280
Wild Frontier.

30
00:01:33,599 --> 00:01:34,000
Speaker 1: Yeah.

31
00:01:34,120 --> 00:01:37,560
Speaker 2: By the end of those three shows, fest Parker was

32
00:01:37,719 --> 00:01:40,560
very well known and the power of television was fully

33
00:01:40,599 --> 00:01:44,359
recognized because Davy Crockett was the most famous frontiersman in

34
00:01:44,439 --> 00:01:47,920
American history. By the end of nineteen fifty five, Americans

35
00:01:48,000 --> 00:01:52,599
had purchased over three hundred million dollars worth of Davy

36
00:01:52,640 --> 00:01:57,560
Crockett merchandise, including coonskin caps and bubblegum cards. Reminder, Lorraine's

37
00:01:57,560 --> 00:01:59,760
little brother in Back to the Future is wearing a

38
00:01:59,760 --> 00:02:03,000
coup skin cap because when did he go back? November fifth,

39
00:02:03,120 --> 00:02:06,799
nineteen fifty five. West Parker later claimed that he lost

40
00:02:07,040 --> 00:02:10,800
millions of dollars because his contract that gave him a

41
00:02:10,879 --> 00:02:15,000
percentage of the merchandising sales was with Walt Disney instead

42
00:02:15,039 --> 00:02:18,240
of with the Walt Disney Productions. That sounds to me

43
00:02:18,400 --> 00:02:22,639
like he gets screwed the lawyers. He gets screwed hard

44
00:02:22,719 --> 00:02:25,479
by the lawyers, no doubt. Okay, tell me about Peter Pan. Okay.

45
00:02:25,520 --> 00:02:28,000
Speaker 1: The Peter Pan we're talking about is the nineteen fifty

46
00:02:28,000 --> 00:02:31,319
three animated movie from Walt Disney Productions. This had been

47
00:02:31,360 --> 00:02:34,039
in development as early as nineteen thirty eight, but due

48
00:02:34,039 --> 00:02:37,400
to the attack on Pearl Harbor, Disney had to switch

49
00:02:37,560 --> 00:02:40,520
to government training films and propaganda films. Peter Pan is

50
00:02:40,560 --> 00:02:43,400
the last film that includes all nine of the quote

51
00:02:43,479 --> 00:02:47,120
unquote Disney's Nine Old Men. That's the same Disney animators

52
00:02:47,120 --> 00:02:49,639
that worked on all those movies together. The plot surrounds

53
00:02:49,639 --> 00:02:52,479
Wendy Darling and her two brothers joining Peter Pan in

54
00:02:52,599 --> 00:02:56,039
Neverland to battle Captain hook TikTok and mister Smeeth. This

55
00:02:56,080 --> 00:02:58,960
has developed from the Jam Barry's play and includes the

56
00:02:59,039 --> 00:03:02,400
songs never Smile Out of Crocodile following the lead or

57
00:03:02,479 --> 00:03:04,439
the lead, and you can Fly.

58
00:03:04,520 --> 00:03:08,080
Speaker 2: You can Fly, you can Fly, you can Fly. Get This.

59
00:03:08,159 --> 00:03:10,560
Speaker 1: It was released in theaters in nineteen fifty three, nineteen

60
00:03:10,560 --> 00:03:14,360
fifty eight, nineteen sixty nine, nineteen seventy six, nineteen eighty two,

61
00:03:14,759 --> 00:03:18,000
In nineteen eighty nine, it is a Walt Disney classic.

62
00:03:18,000 --> 00:03:19,439
All right, d what can you tell me about this

63
00:03:19,479 --> 00:03:21,319
guy I've never heard of called Elvis Presley.

64
00:03:21,520 --> 00:03:23,560
Speaker 2: If you do not know who Elvis Presley is, you

65
00:03:23,639 --> 00:03:25,879
must be from some foreign land I've never heard of.

66
00:03:26,039 --> 00:03:29,800
He was born in Tupelo, Mississippi. His family moved him

67
00:03:29,840 --> 00:03:32,759
to Memphis, Tennessee, when he was thirteen years old, and

68
00:03:32,800 --> 00:03:35,240
then as a very young man, he decided to record

69
00:03:35,280 --> 00:03:37,520
some songs for his mama. But there was a guy

70
00:03:37,599 --> 00:03:40,280
named Sam Phillips who worked at the recording studio that

71
00:03:40,319 --> 00:03:42,719
Elvis had recorded at, and he thought this kid probably

72
00:03:42,759 --> 00:03:44,800
could do well with this song. And Sam had this idea,

73
00:03:44,919 --> 00:03:48,000
I want to bring the African American style music into

74
00:03:48,520 --> 00:03:51,280
the white music world. And so he said, hey, Elvis,

75
00:03:51,319 --> 00:03:53,560
why don't you come do some songs with me? Recorded

76
00:03:53,599 --> 00:03:55,759
a few songs. One of those you might have heard of.

77
00:03:55,840 --> 00:03:58,199
It's called Heartbreak, Hotel is My.

78
00:03:58,560 --> 00:04:01,879
Speaker 1: Bed lovel whoa.

79
00:04:01,919 --> 00:04:04,199
Speaker 2: By March of that year, they had released an entire

80
00:04:04,280 --> 00:04:08,199
album of songs called Elvis Presley and It included some

81
00:04:08,479 --> 00:04:12,240
song I just came across called Blue Suede Shoes. His

82
00:04:12,680 --> 00:04:15,319
stardom was big. By the end of the year, he

83
00:04:15,439 --> 00:04:17,759
was already starring in a movie called Love Meat Tender.

84
00:04:17,800 --> 00:04:19,759
But then just less than two years later he got

85
00:04:19,800 --> 00:04:22,600
drafted into the Army and his follow up album after

86
00:04:22,639 --> 00:04:26,120
the Christmas album, we had Elvis Presley Elvis Christmas Album,

87
00:04:26,319 --> 00:04:29,000
and then nothing for four years, and then he came

88
00:04:29,040 --> 00:04:31,879
back from the Army and made it big again. Okay,

89
00:04:31,920 --> 00:04:33,399
tell me about Disneyland, Okay.

90
00:04:33,480 --> 00:04:37,759
Speaker 1: Disneyland is a theme park located in Anaheim, California.

91
00:04:37,319 --> 00:04:38,800
Speaker 2: Vin to Disneyland, I have me too.

92
00:04:38,879 --> 00:04:41,519
Speaker 1: It's the first park opened by the Walt Disney Company.

93
00:04:41,519 --> 00:04:44,879
It opened on July seventeenth, nineteen fifty five. Walt Disney

94
00:04:44,879 --> 00:04:49,040
actually has a quote says laughter is America's greatest export.

95
00:04:49,160 --> 00:04:51,439
Originally wanted to build the park adjacent to the studios

96
00:04:51,480 --> 00:04:55,759
in Burbank, but they settled in Anaheim because some demographics

97
00:04:55,800 --> 00:05:00,360
experts predicted that southern California would become a major population center,

98
00:05:00,439 --> 00:05:04,959
and too bad that didn't happen. Disney originally envisioned a

99
00:05:05,120 --> 00:05:08,519
quote Mickey Mouse Park while visiting Griffith Park in La

100
00:05:08,639 --> 00:05:10,600
watching his daughters ride the Merry Go Round. Listen to

101
00:05:10,639 --> 00:05:13,639
this opening day. You had twenty eight thousand people show up,

102
00:05:13,680 --> 00:05:17,040
only fourteen thousand of which were invited. Fourteen thousand got

103
00:05:17,079 --> 00:05:20,720
in with fake tickets or climbed the fence. Wow attractions

104
00:05:20,759 --> 00:05:25,519
include Main Street USA, Frontierland, Fantasyland, Tomorrowland. Now they have

105
00:05:25,600 --> 00:05:28,800
the Star Wars Galaxy's Edge there. It's closed very few times,

106
00:05:28,800 --> 00:05:32,319
including the assassination of JFK in December nineteen eighty seven,

107
00:05:32,360 --> 00:05:34,040
they had a big winter storm, and then in two

108
00:05:34,079 --> 00:05:36,800
thousand and one after the September eleventh attack on the

109
00:05:36,839 --> 00:05:38,600
World Trade Center. And for a long time when you

110
00:05:38,639 --> 00:05:40,879
won the Super Bowl, everybody asked you what you're doing next.

111
00:05:40,879 --> 00:05:42,439
You said, I'm going to Disneyland.

112
00:05:42,519 --> 00:05:44,920
Speaker 2: Okay, guys, that does it for today's episode. Join us

113
00:05:44,959 --> 00:05:46,279
next time for five minutes of fire
