annual holiday Surprise Extravaganza thing. We got to come up

11
00:00:38,079 --> 00:00:40,000
with a better name for next year. Somebody remind me

12
00:00:40,039 --> 00:00:40,399
to do that.

13
00:00:42,359 --> 00:00:45,359
Speaker 3: I think you're doing great.

14
00:00:46,079 --> 00:00:48,600
Speaker 6: Before we hop into our holidays year as always, allowed

15
00:00:48,600 --> 00:00:51,719
me to introduce the Crambones, who are joining us here tonight.

16
00:00:52,439 --> 00:00:55,640
First and foremost, from the Richter Observatory, he says that

17
00:00:55,799 --> 00:01:00,840
mummies love Christmas because there's so much wrapping. Richter is back.

18
00:01:01,000 --> 00:01:07,760
Speaker 7: Ooh, time to erect the halls. But buddy, Holly, okay.

19
00:01:07,000 --> 00:01:07,959
Speaker 4: That was good.

20
00:01:08,280 --> 00:01:13,120
Speaker 6: That was good. From paranormally yours, she learned that after

21
00:01:13,159 --> 00:01:15,640
the first two wise men gave their gifts of gold

22
00:01:15,680 --> 00:01:20,280
and frankensonse, the third one said, wait, there's murrh cale

23
00:01:20,359 --> 00:01:21,040
nucle is here.

24
00:01:21,599 --> 00:01:25,760
Speaker 2: Oh hello, Brian, I think that one's soldier than you are.

25
00:01:25,879 --> 00:01:28,719
Speaker 6: Yeah, all right, well, it's time to get recycled. It's

26
00:01:28,760 --> 00:01:29,680
good for the environment.

27
00:01:30,280 --> 00:01:34,920
Speaker 7: Murray Christmas, not touching.

28
00:01:34,680 --> 00:01:37,480
Speaker 6: That from the silver screen. She walked into a bar

29
00:01:37,599 --> 00:01:40,319
on Christmas Eve and they were having an open mic night.

30
00:01:40,760 --> 00:01:43,239
So Santa hopped up there to try some stand up

31
00:01:43,239 --> 00:01:46,959
comedy and he slayed Mercedes.

32
00:01:46,439 --> 00:01:51,159
Speaker 3: Kanvas year as he would as he would. You got

33
00:01:51,200 --> 00:01:52,760
to be at a bar on Christmas Eve.

34
00:01:52,680 --> 00:01:55,159
Speaker 6: Right, I've never had the experience.

35
00:01:55,560 --> 00:01:59,719
Speaker 3: Oh okay, well, may I say you are missing out?

36
00:02:00,200 --> 00:02:02,680
Speaker 6: I will take that into consideration. We'll see we can

37
00:02:02,719 --> 00:02:03,400
make that happen.

38
00:02:03,920 --> 00:02:06,400
Speaker 3: Hey, everybody, Happy Holidays, see y'all.

39
00:02:07,560 --> 00:02:10,800
Speaker 6: And our newly retired teacher, he says that Rudolph got

40
00:02:10,800 --> 00:02:13,840
a lousy report card because he went down in history.

41
00:02:14,599 --> 00:02:15,560
John Kelly's here.

42
00:02:16,120 --> 00:02:21,000
Speaker 8: Oh, Merry Christmas, everybody, from this newly retired.

43
00:02:20,560 --> 00:02:24,159
Speaker 6: Teacher, and last but not least, the host of Shaving Cream.

44
00:02:24,400 --> 00:02:26,719
She would like to warn you that if you get

45
00:02:26,759 --> 00:02:30,919
sent a link that says Justin Bieber singing Christmas songs,

46
00:02:31,560 --> 00:02:34,680
don't click it because it's a link to Justin Bieber

47
00:02:34,759 --> 00:02:36,319
singing a bunch of Christmas songs.

48
00:02:37,000 --> 00:02:40,840
Speaker 1: Barbara vel is here, the best advice ever.

49
00:02:40,680 --> 00:02:42,120
Speaker 6: Agreed, Yeah, you.

50
00:02:44,240 --> 00:02:44,560
Speaker 4: All right.

51
00:02:44,599 --> 00:02:46,680
Speaker 6: So the two things that we didn't cover in the

52
00:02:46,680 --> 00:02:50,039
first episode that we tend to do every year. Number one,

53
00:02:50,120 --> 00:02:53,400
Jingle Bells was written as a Thanksgiving song, just a reminder,

54
00:02:53,439 --> 00:02:56,039
there's your trivia. Number two. Mercedes and I are on

55
00:02:56,080 --> 00:02:59,639
the same page that Rudolph is a terrible story about

56
00:03:00,199 --> 00:03:02,199
people like crap unless they can do something for you.

57
00:03:02,240 --> 00:03:02,680
So keep that.

58
00:03:03,120 --> 00:03:05,280
Speaker 3: Wait, what the heck is up with that? Seriously?

59
00:03:05,439 --> 00:03:08,039
Speaker 6: I don't know. It's just mean, but we bring it

60
00:03:08,039 --> 00:03:09,599
around every year, So I thought i'd get that out

61
00:03:09,639 --> 00:03:11,280
of the way at the top and then we can

62
00:03:11,520 --> 00:03:13,039
hop in and have a festive evening.

63
00:03:13,039 --> 00:03:14,639
Speaker 3: What do you think I feel better now?

64
00:03:14,919 --> 00:03:15,280
Speaker 6: All right?

65
00:03:15,400 --> 00:03:17,680
Speaker 8: I actually would probably agree with you, Brian. You know

66
00:03:18,639 --> 00:03:22,199
that that Mercedes, that yeah, I would agree with you

67
00:03:22,240 --> 00:03:25,680
on that. When you look at the plot in Rudolph,

68
00:03:25,800 --> 00:03:27,479
it's it's kind of cruel.

69
00:03:27,759 --> 00:03:30,360
Speaker 6: It's just it's not kind of it's completely his own

70
00:03:30,400 --> 00:03:31,520
parents were embarrassed to.

71
00:03:31,560 --> 00:03:35,680
Speaker 7: Him, coming coming from the land of misfit toys. Myself,

72
00:03:35,280 --> 00:03:40,680
I totally related to what you're saying. Yeah, it was terrible.

73
00:03:40,400 --> 00:03:43,000
Speaker 6: Yeah, awful. So there you go. All right, keep that

74
00:03:43,080 --> 00:03:47,400
in mind as you're celebrating your holidays. And uh on

75
00:03:47,479 --> 00:03:51,039
that note, Gel gets to lead us off, so good luck.

76
00:03:51,080 --> 00:03:51,280
Speaker 7: With that.

77
00:03:51,719 --> 00:03:58,039
Speaker 2: Well, I've got a much more normal selection to start

78
00:03:58,080 --> 00:04:03,759
this episode off than the one from last episode. Actually,

79
00:04:04,280 --> 00:04:08,360
the song I chose was written a long time ago.

80
00:04:09,840 --> 00:04:15,560
It was popular in the Iberian Peninsula and Latin America,

81
00:04:15,639 --> 00:04:20,319
popular from the late fifteenth to eighteenth centuries. So that's

82
00:04:20,519 --> 00:04:25,800
talking the fourteen hundreds through the seventeen hundreds.

83
00:04:24,879 --> 00:04:26,839
Speaker 6: Longer than Thriller was on the charts.

84
00:04:27,160 --> 00:04:38,240
Speaker 2: Yeah. It's called Rurruchio, and sometimes that's shortened to ruryu

85
00:04:38,519 --> 00:04:43,759
or ruchio. It's a Spanish viencco, which is like a

86
00:04:43,839 --> 00:04:49,680
Christmas carol that has changed some contemporary fame as a

87
00:04:49,759 --> 00:04:53,879
Christmas carol attributed to the feast of the Immaculate Conception

88
00:04:54,600 --> 00:04:59,879
during Advent, which to me is a little confusing because

89
00:05:00,839 --> 00:05:08,639
most people think that the Immaculate Conception was Oh never mind,

90
00:05:08,680 --> 00:05:10,639
cut that part out, Brian, when you're editing.

91
00:05:10,480 --> 00:05:15,240
Speaker 6: Nope, not cutting anything mine. Well, you talked about plugging

92
00:05:15,319 --> 00:05:16,360
up chimneys.

93
00:05:18,600 --> 00:05:21,759
Speaker 2: Now we're talking about the Blessed Mother.

94
00:05:22,319 --> 00:05:22,439
Speaker 9: Hm.

95
00:05:23,720 --> 00:05:29,920
Speaker 2: Okay. So this viencco is attributed by some sources to

96
00:05:30,800 --> 00:05:35,480
Matteo Flecha, the elder who died in fifteen fifty three.

97
00:05:36,720 --> 00:05:41,000
It has also been described as anonymous. This song also

98
00:05:41,079 --> 00:05:45,360
bears a strong resemblance to another Villancicco who ho called

99
00:05:46,759 --> 00:05:57,480
Falla lanlera Okay by Bartomeo Carceres, an Aragonese composer. It's

100
00:05:57,519 --> 00:06:02,560
known from a single source, the Cuno the Oopsala, published

101
00:06:02,600 --> 00:06:06,680
in fifteen fifty six in Venice. A unique copy is

102
00:06:06,759 --> 00:06:11,920
preserved at the library of the University of Oopsala. It's

103
00:06:12,000 --> 00:06:17,120
derived from medieval dance forms don't fall asleep, guys.

104
00:06:16,839 --> 00:06:20,720
Speaker 3: Uh the are you going to talk about the Immaculate consumption?

105
00:06:21,199 --> 00:06:21,360
Speaker 7: Yeah?

106
00:06:22,560 --> 00:06:27,639
Speaker 3: Circle, you segued real quick.

107
00:06:28,240 --> 00:06:31,560
Speaker 2: Well, because I couldn't remember half the facts and I

108
00:06:31,600 --> 00:06:35,040
don't have them in my notes, because some people think

109
00:06:35,079 --> 00:06:38,360
it's one thing and it's actually another. And John can

110
00:06:38,399 --> 00:06:39,319
back me up on that.

111
00:06:42,240 --> 00:06:44,360
Speaker 8: Well, you haven't heard my selection yet, folks.

112
00:06:44,759 --> 00:06:54,040
Speaker 2: Huh, oh, no, it has it has to do with Oh,

113
00:06:54,240 --> 00:06:58,240
never mind, I don't want to get the facts wrong anyway.

114
00:06:59,079 --> 00:07:00,879
Speaker 3: I'm not going to learn anything tonight.

115
00:07:01,480 --> 00:07:08,199
Speaker 2: Look it up, people, look it up in Spanish though, anyway.

116
00:07:08,279 --> 00:07:14,800
It's derived from medieval dance forms the Spanish vienzco. It

117
00:07:14,879 --> 00:07:17,759
was a type of popular song sung in the vernacular,

118
00:07:17,839 --> 00:07:23,480
which means the local language, and frequently associated with rustic themes.

119
00:07:24,199 --> 00:07:28,720
The poetic form of the Spanish vienzco was that of

120
00:07:28,759 --> 00:07:35,040
an estribillo or refrain, and copias, which are stanzas with

121
00:07:35,360 --> 00:07:38,480
or without an introduction. This will all make sense to

122
00:07:38,519 --> 00:07:42,639
you when you hear it, trust me. While the exact

123
00:07:42,839 --> 00:07:46,800
order a number of repetitions of the estribillo and copias varied,

124
00:07:47,360 --> 00:07:51,360
the most typical form was a loose aba framework, often

125
00:07:51,519 --> 00:07:57,920
in a triple meter. Apparently nonsense syllables Ryo yu chu

126
00:07:58,160 --> 00:08:01,319
are often taken to represent the song of a nightingale,

127
00:08:01,920 --> 00:08:05,199
while the context and the etymology are compatible with the

128
00:08:05,199 --> 00:08:10,639
call of a kingfisher. Ryo translates as river in the

129
00:08:10,639 --> 00:08:15,680
Catalan language in agreement with the birthplace of the accredited composer,

130
00:08:17,000 --> 00:08:21,360
and was translated as river by are you ready for

131
00:08:21,399 --> 00:08:27,120
this the monkeys who did a cover of it where

132
00:08:27,279 --> 00:08:31,600
the roaring river prevented a wolf from crossing to attack sheep.

133
00:08:33,799 --> 00:08:38,159
The first part goes ryor yu chi u la guadaribera

134
00:08:38,320 --> 00:08:45,120
the os guada, which means with a cry of ruryuchu,

135
00:08:45,279 --> 00:08:50,440
the kingfisher god kept the wolf from our lamb the

136
00:08:50,559 --> 00:08:55,200
raid when the land they're referring to here isn't actually Christ,

137
00:08:55,279 --> 00:08:59,919
but it's his mom. The raging wolf sought to bite her,

138
00:09:00,080 --> 00:09:03,279
but God Almady knew how to defend her. He chose

139
00:09:03,320 --> 00:09:05,519
to make her so that she could not sin. No

140
00:09:05,639 --> 00:09:10,639
original sin was found in that version. This one that

141
00:09:10,799 --> 00:09:14,120
is born is the great King Christ, the patriarch clothed

142
00:09:14,240 --> 00:09:17,759
in flesh. He redeemed us when he made himself small.

143
00:09:18,200 --> 00:09:24,279
Though he was infinite, he would make himself finite. So

144
00:09:24,440 --> 00:09:29,399
let's give a listen to the Monkeys this. They performed

145
00:09:29,440 --> 00:09:34,279
it in nineteen sixty seven Live on the Monkeys Christmas Show,

146
00:09:35,080 --> 00:09:39,879
a Christmas episode of their TV series, Let's have a listen.

147
00:09:40,039 --> 00:09:43,799
I love this song. I heard a medieval group do

148
00:09:43,919 --> 00:09:47,080
this many years ago at Rockland Community College. They were

149
00:09:47,080 --> 00:09:50,840
called the Waverley Consort. And when I came across the

150
00:09:50,960 --> 00:09:55,039
version by the Monkeys by mistake, I was floored. Wait

151
00:09:55,080 --> 00:09:56,679

00:11:30,279 --> 00:11:34,279
Speaker 1: Yes, that's crazy, he says, they didn't have talent.

169
00:11:35,440 --> 00:11:39,399
Speaker 2: Oh my gosh, that gives me chills because that's not easy.

170
00:11:39,480 --> 00:11:43,440
That harmony and the exact rhythm and doing it a cappella.

171
00:11:43,519 --> 00:11:46,879
And I finally remembered what the heck I was gonna

172
00:11:46,919 --> 00:11:51,399
say before. About the immaculate conception, many people think the

173
00:11:51,440 --> 00:11:59,799
immaculate conception refers to Mary conceiving Christ by the Holy Spirit. No,

174
00:12:02,559 --> 00:12:06,320
according to the Christian faith, we were all born with

175
00:12:06,600 --> 00:12:11,440
original sin because of Adam eating the apple that Eve

176
00:12:11,519 --> 00:12:18,720
gave him. The actual immaculate conception is that Mary was

177
00:12:18,879 --> 00:12:24,919
conceived by her parents without original sin. Now I don't

178
00:12:24,919 --> 00:12:28,559
have the details on how God did this, but Prophecy

179
00:12:28,679 --> 00:12:33,200
foretold that the Mother of Jesus would be born without

180
00:12:33,240 --> 00:12:35,480
original sin, and God saw to it.

181
00:12:36,559 --> 00:12:37,000
Speaker 7: But that.

182
00:12:38,799 --> 00:12:42,200
Speaker 2: Tune always gives me chills, and it's not real easy

183
00:12:42,279 --> 00:12:47,519
to perform. Classical and early performers of that song include

184
00:12:47,559 --> 00:12:52,600
the Boston Camarata No Surprise There and the Oxford Camarata,

185
00:12:53,360 --> 00:12:57,639
and a studio version was released of The Monkeys' version

186
00:12:57,879 --> 00:13:03,840
on subsequent compilation albums and later on the twoenty eighteen

187
00:13:03,919 --> 00:13:09,000
album Christmas Party. The Monkey's producer, Chip Douglas, had performed

188
00:13:09,000 --> 00:13:13,720
it himself with his former band, the Modern Folk Quartet

189
00:13:14,240 --> 00:13:16,919
on their nineteen sixty four album Changes.

190
00:13:19,279 --> 00:13:20,000
Speaker 3: That was amazing.

191
00:13:20,480 --> 00:13:22,600
Speaker 6: So that was different, right, very impressive.

192
00:13:22,639 --> 00:13:24,320
Speaker 4: That was That was beautiful.

193
00:13:23,799 --> 00:13:27,399
Speaker 8: I'm a sucker for for beautiful Christmas music, and they

194
00:13:27,519 --> 00:13:29,039
owe me too.

195
00:13:28,159 --> 00:13:33,960
Speaker 2: I'm a sucker for tight harmonies, especially with men singing them.

196
00:13:34,000 --> 00:13:37,960
It's just delicious nice.

197
00:13:37,759 --> 00:13:38,120
Speaker 6: All right.

198
00:13:38,240 --> 00:13:39,000
Speaker 4: That was beautiful.

199
00:13:39,120 --> 00:13:41,519
Speaker 6: Yeah, that was good. I don't even want to make

200
00:13:41,519 --> 00:13:45,440
a joke on the way we can make jokes, but

201
00:13:45,480 --> 00:13:48,279
that that just would never just after hearing that, it's

202
00:13:48,320 --> 00:13:50,000
just you can't, you really can't.

203
00:13:50,240 --> 00:13:50,480
Speaker 7: Yep.

204
00:13:50,639 --> 00:13:53,000
Speaker 6: So we're just going to go take a normal non

205
00:13:53,080 --> 00:13:54,240
humorous break.

206
00:13:53,919 --> 00:13:58,879
Speaker 2: And we'll be after this and I'm just going to

207
00:13:58,960 --> 00:14:00,559
eat that tune with spoon.

208
00:14:01,360 --> 00:14:02,759
Speaker 6: Do you think we'll be right back?

209
00:14:03,600 --> 00:14:06,840
Speaker 4: Hudson River Radio. Your dog likes us.

Speaker 11: Santa Claus.

214
00:14:31,960 --> 00:14:33,600
Speaker 12: In the one What's Up.

215
00:14:35,000 --> 00:14:37,879
Speaker 6: And welcome back. I think John is probably going to

216
00:14:37,960 --> 00:14:42,039
take us in a slightly different direction than Gail. Slightly slightly,

217
00:14:42,279 --> 00:14:45,080
so yeah, let's see what do you have John? All right?

218
00:14:45,120 --> 00:14:47,440
Speaker 8: Well, you know, as as I pointed out when we

219
00:14:47,440 --> 00:14:51,480
were listening to Gail's beautiful selection there, I really enjoy

220
00:14:51,919 --> 00:14:55,080
good Christmas. I love music of all types and varieties

221
00:14:55,279 --> 00:14:57,960
when it comes to Christmas music. I don't deviate from

222
00:14:58,000 --> 00:15:02,399
that belief from that interest. I love every conceivable type.

223
00:15:02,480 --> 00:15:07,679
I love spiritual Christmas music, I love classical Christmas music.

224
00:15:07,720 --> 00:15:10,559
I love modern day contemporary Christmas music.

225
00:15:11,559 --> 00:15:13,159
Speaker 4: I enjoy everything. You know.

226
00:15:13,639 --> 00:15:16,519
Speaker 8: I'm a sucker for a good Bing Crosby Christmas song

227
00:15:16,679 --> 00:15:20,399
or a Mannheim steam roller, or you get into some

228
00:15:20,480 --> 00:15:24,559
of these more classical Christmas pieces. It is all beautiful music,

229
00:15:25,039 --> 00:15:28,919
all in this celebration of Christmas and what it really

230
00:15:29,200 --> 00:15:33,639
truly means, because what is Christmas. Christmas is the celebration

231
00:15:34,600 --> 00:15:37,919
of a birthday. And along those lines, I am going

232
00:15:37,960 --> 00:15:41,919
to take our show from Gale's piece, and I am

233
00:15:41,960 --> 00:15:45,519
going to ram this thing into reverse and I am

234
00:15:45,559 --> 00:15:47,879
going to hit the floor of the gas pedal in

235
00:15:48,000 --> 00:15:52,159
reverse and bring us to nineteen eighty seven and that

236
00:15:52,320 --> 00:15:57,440
Christmas classic from Robert lee Emery otherwise known as Gunnery

237
00:15:57,519 --> 00:16:01,240
Sergeant Hartman from Full Metal Jack. Why don't we just

238
00:16:01,320 --> 00:16:03,480
play the song and then I have something to talk

239
00:16:03,519 --> 00:16:05,279
about afterwards, Brian, Right.

240
00:16:05,320 --> 00:16:07,919
Speaker 4: Here we go, folks, hold on to your seatbelts.

241
00:16:09,440 --> 00:16:10,200
Speaker 6: To you.

242
00:16:13,080 --> 00:16:14,559
Speaker 12: They do you.

243
00:16:16,039 --> 00:16:24,279
Speaker 1: Abdues have bad to you.

244
00:16:27,200 --> 00:16:33,399
Speaker 13: Today is Christmas. There will be a magic Joe at

245
00:16:33,559 --> 00:16:35,200
zero nine.

246
00:16:36,960 --> 00:16:37,440
Speaker 12: Chaplin.

247
00:16:37,639 --> 00:16:43,960
Speaker 13: Charlie will tell you about how the free world will conquer.

248
00:16:43,639 --> 00:16:47,639
Speaker 9: Communism with the aid of God.

249
00:16:47,480 --> 00:16:49,799
Speaker 6: And the FU Marine.

250
00:16:50,120 --> 00:16:56,600
Speaker 13: Because we kill everything we see, he plays his games.

251
00:16:57,519 --> 00:17:04,160
We play our to show our appreciation for so much power.

252
00:17:05,359 --> 00:17:09,680
We keep heaven packed with fresh soul.

253
00:17:11,400 --> 00:17:14,680
Speaker 9: God was here before the marine corp.

254
00:17:15,640 --> 00:17:19,279
Speaker 13: Oh, you can give your heart to Jesus, but your

255
00:17:19,440 --> 00:17:24,839
ass he loves to the car He Ladies understand.

256
00:17:26,240 --> 00:17:31,000
Speaker 4: I can't hear you, okay, everybody?

257
00:17:31,039 --> 00:17:34,680
Speaker 8: That was Happy Birthday to Jesus by the lead Robert

258
00:17:34,759 --> 00:17:38,519
Lee Ermei from this movie Full Metal Jacket. And you

259
00:17:38,559 --> 00:17:42,440
can't get more opposite than what with that than when

260
00:17:42,480 --> 00:17:44,079
when you heard Gail's beautiful piece.

261
00:17:44,160 --> 00:17:46,640
Speaker 6: I was definitely a reverse slam on that one.

262
00:17:46,680 --> 00:17:48,960
Speaker 8: And I gotta be honest with you, everybody, I struggled

263
00:17:49,000 --> 00:17:51,440
with this one because I wanted to do something beautiful

264
00:17:51,440 --> 00:17:52,880
and I wanted to do something more.

265
00:17:53,000 --> 00:17:54,039
Speaker 6: Oh it was beautiful, and.

266
00:17:57,240 --> 00:17:58,880
Speaker 8: You know what, I was gonna go with this whole

267
00:17:58,920 --> 00:18:02,880
more sedate, you know, sweet Christmas song, and I was like,

268
00:18:02,920 --> 00:18:06,200
you know what, No, I'm just gonna do completely at

269
00:18:06,240 --> 00:18:10,000
a character Robert Lee Ermi. What's interesting about that is,

270
00:18:10,079 --> 00:18:12,440
of course most of you probably already know Robert Lee

271
00:18:12,519 --> 00:18:15,559
Ermi played Gunnery Sergeant Hartman in Full Metal Jacket. He

272
00:18:15,640 --> 00:18:19,599
also was a sergeant and drill instructor in the US Marines.

273
00:18:20,519 --> 00:18:24,640
He had received several awards as a Marine for his

274
00:18:24,799 --> 00:18:29,000
service in Vietnam, including the Meritorious Unit Commendation and the

275
00:18:29,039 --> 00:18:32,920
Republic of Vietnam Gallantry Cross for his service in the

276
00:18:33,039 --> 00:18:37,400
Vietnam War, and he had a stellar career as an actor,

277
00:18:37,480 --> 00:18:40,240
and this was the perfect role for him to play

278
00:18:40,279 --> 00:18:45,039
a drill sergeant in a movie that I guess mimicked

279
00:18:45,079 --> 00:18:47,559
his real life to a certain degree.

280
00:18:47,359 --> 00:18:49,240
Speaker 6: He got it by accident, didn't he in that?

281
00:18:49,440 --> 00:18:51,319
Speaker 4: Yes? Right, yes he did.

282
00:18:51,519 --> 00:18:54,200
Speaker 6: He was a consultant. Yes, and there was an actor

283
00:18:54,240 --> 00:18:57,880
trying to play a drill sergeant and he's like, no, no, no, no,

284
00:18:58,279 --> 00:18:59,240
yeah no.

285
00:18:59,559 --> 00:19:01,599
Speaker 4: And there was the only one who could do that.

286
00:19:01,680 --> 00:19:05,720
Speaker 8: I can't imagine anyone else doing that role than our

287
00:19:05,799 --> 00:19:09,839
Lee Army as as gunnery Sergeant Hartman, I do. The

288
00:19:09,839 --> 00:19:12,960
Marine Corps actually made him an honorary gunnery sergeant after

289
00:19:13,000 --> 00:19:19,160
this particular movie. And we lost the We lost, Yes,

290
00:19:19,200 --> 00:19:22,680
we lost Gunny in twenty eighteen at the age of

291
00:19:22,799 --> 00:19:26,640
seventy four. He actually reprised the role of Gunner Research

292
00:19:26,680 --> 00:19:28,920
and Hartman in a few in a movie, in a

293
00:19:28,960 --> 00:19:32,759
couple of movies after that. And but you can't when

294
00:19:32,759 --> 00:19:34,920
you think about it, what is Christmas? We are selling

295
00:19:35,039 --> 00:19:38,680
celebrating the birth of Christ. So we do need to

296
00:19:38,720 --> 00:19:41,839
wish a happy birthday, and I could not think of

297
00:19:41,839 --> 00:19:42,720
a better way to do it.

298
00:19:43,920 --> 00:19:46,680
Speaker 6: On History Channel, Yes, he did Military.

299
00:19:46,720 --> 00:19:51,559
Speaker 1: I loved his show milk. Yeah, he loved best and

300
00:19:51,640 --> 00:19:54,160
I gotta I gotta just say this. Back in the

301
00:19:55,000 --> 00:19:59,279
mid two thousand's my windows start up sound bite, Yes,

302
00:19:59,839 --> 00:20:05,160
was him saying, what is your major malfunction? That was

303
00:20:05,240 --> 00:20:06,279
my windows startup.

304
00:20:06,519 --> 00:20:06,720
Speaker 4: Yeah.

305
00:20:07,279 --> 00:20:11,319
Speaker 8: So I just you couldn't get more peaceful than Gail's selection.

306
00:20:12,079 --> 00:20:13,519
Speaker 4: And you couldn't.

307
00:20:13,559 --> 00:20:16,039
Speaker 8: Just I could not ram that into reverse harder.

308
00:20:16,079 --> 00:20:16,599
Speaker 4: I just could not.

309
00:20:16,720 --> 00:20:20,039
Speaker 8: So I hope you all enjoyed Happy Birthday by Gunnery

310
00:20:20,119 --> 00:20:23,359
Sergeant Hartman from Full Metal Jacket nineteen eighty seven.

311
00:20:23,519 --> 00:20:26,160
Speaker 6: Nice. I think nice. The average of the two brings

312
00:20:26,240 --> 00:20:30,359
us back to where we normally are. So I feel

313
00:20:30,359 --> 00:20:33,119
more comfortable now. That's good. Yes, all right.

314
00:20:33,319 --> 00:20:34,559
Speaker 1: I'm glad hold that thought.

315
00:20:34,640 --> 00:20:35,279
Speaker 6: Yeah that's good.

316
00:20:35,319 --> 00:20:37,319
Speaker 4: Because one more thing I say, I believe.

317
00:20:37,519 --> 00:20:40,799
Speaker 8: I believe Full Metal Jacket was Stanley Kubrick's I think

318
00:20:40,799 --> 00:20:42,119
it was his last movie before.

319
00:20:42,920 --> 00:20:44,559
Speaker 6: Oh I don't know, I think so. I'm not sure,

320
00:20:44,720 --> 00:20:46,000
you know, Mercedes.

321
00:20:45,599 --> 00:20:50,400
Speaker 7: No, No, it was his last movie was Eyes Wide Shot.

322
00:20:50,480 --> 00:20:52,000
Speaker 14: Yeah, oh okay, but.

323
00:20:52,880 --> 00:20:56,279
Speaker 7: Yeah, no, all all of Kubrick's movies, or most of them,

324
00:20:56,720 --> 00:21:00,160
were always very I won't say weird because.

325
00:21:00,279 --> 00:21:01,599
Speaker 4: That's weird and raw.

326
00:21:01,680 --> 00:21:05,039
Speaker 7: Perhaps maybe Yeah, that's too, I'd say, more like, you know,

327
00:21:05,319 --> 00:21:10,079
just had a bizarre atmosphere to them, which I really like.

328
00:21:10,119 --> 00:21:13,440
He's probably one of my favorite directors overall. I mean

329
00:21:13,519 --> 00:21:18,039
two thousand and one, well, Doctor Strangelove, which was you know,

330
00:21:19,200 --> 00:21:26,680
yeah that was just insane. I guess the shining and

331
00:21:27,839 --> 00:21:32,440
oh how can I forget Clockwork Orange? So so yeah,

332
00:21:32,480 --> 00:21:34,960
he made a lot of strange movies, and Full Metal

333
00:21:35,039 --> 00:21:38,640
Jacket was you know, no exception to that rule now, but.

334
00:21:38,680 --> 00:21:42,279
Speaker 8: It's the dialogue in Full Metal Jacket was straight up

335
00:21:42,319 --> 00:21:45,480
weird in some ways and very memorable and just about

336
00:21:45,519 --> 00:21:46,160
in other ways.

337
00:21:46,200 --> 00:21:46,440
Speaker 4: You know.

338
00:21:47,000 --> 00:21:48,720
Speaker 8: I don't want to list the dialogue here, but there's

339
00:21:48,759 --> 00:21:50,640
a lot of famous lines you could pull from Full

340
00:21:50,680 --> 00:21:51,319
Metal Jacket.

341
00:21:52,359 --> 00:21:53,400
Speaker 7: It would get bleeped here.

Speaker 1: Right, So my song is by a gentleman by the

352
00:22:19,799 --> 00:22:24,680
name of Dustin Ballard, and he has a YouTube channel

353
00:22:24,759 --> 00:22:29,880
called there I Ruined It, where he explores the way

354
00:22:29,920 --> 00:22:36,200
that AI is shaping music with his mashups. He asks

355
00:22:36,279 --> 00:22:41,240
the question are new tools fostering creativity or just making noise?

356
00:22:42,279 --> 00:22:46,960
His mini bio on his social media reads, I lovingly

357
00:22:47,200 --> 00:22:53,319

358
00:22:53,400 --> 00:22:55,880
down a rabbit hole, go on this YouTube channel and

listen to all his mashups. There hilarious. You won't believe

360
00:23:00,640 --> 00:23:03,519

Speaker 6: Okay, So that was cool.

383
00:25:46,480 --> 00:25:49,680
Speaker 1: I promise if you want to check out the YouTube channel,

384
00:25:50,160 --> 00:25:52,720
make sure you have sometimes set aside because you're like

385
00:25:52,720 --> 00:25:56,319
gonna forget to eat, You're gonna you're forgetting, I'm gonna

386
00:25:56,359 --> 00:25:58,480
forget to have a bowel movement whatever.

387
00:25:59,119 --> 00:26:02,200
Speaker 6: I think he actually does mix up some legit tracks

388
00:26:02,440 --> 00:26:05,119
because some of his videos it looks like pro tools

389
00:26:05,279 --> 00:26:08,000
is streaming streams so you could see the multiple Yeah.

390
00:26:08,119 --> 00:26:09,240
Speaker 1: I mean, I'm not an expert in that.

391
00:26:09,240 --> 00:26:11,640
Speaker 6: I couldn't really tell. I think he's actually mashed up

392
00:26:11,680 --> 00:26:14,079
some real tracks too. This one might be AI like

393
00:26:14,119 --> 00:26:16,000
you said, but oh it's great.

394
00:26:16,599 --> 00:26:16,839
Speaker 2: Yeah.

395
00:26:17,200 --> 00:26:21,160
Speaker 1: So he began the there I Ruined It project during

396
00:26:21,160 --> 00:26:25,200
the COVID nineteen pandemic perfect and the premise is to

397
00:26:25,519 --> 00:26:29,000
quote ruin songs with covers of them that are very

398
00:26:29,000 --> 00:26:33,599
different than the original and ruining as many beloved songs

399
00:26:33,640 --> 00:26:37,680
as possible before it's banned from the Internet. Inside the

400
00:26:37,720 --> 00:26:40,680
song mashup style we just heard. Ballad also does genre

401
00:26:40,960 --> 00:26:46,119
swapping remixes. His backup singers are called the ruin Nettes.

402
00:26:49,119 --> 00:26:53,759
The project has received some mixed reviews, some calling them

403
00:26:54,200 --> 00:26:57,759
straight up terrible, while others say they're hilarious and have

404
00:26:58,279 --> 00:27:04,200
benefited from the quote fiendish musical butchery unquote. Ballard points

405
00:27:04,240 --> 00:27:07,039
out that AI can be traced way back to the

406
00:27:07,079 --> 00:27:10,960
early days of recorded music, which receives some criticism for

407
00:27:11,119 --> 00:27:12,160
not being live.

408
00:27:12,799 --> 00:27:15,000
Speaker 3: Mhmm, there you have it.

409
00:27:15,359 --> 00:27:15,920
Speaker 2: That was fun.

410
00:27:16,039 --> 00:27:16,640
Speaker 4: That was fun.

411
00:27:17,359 --> 00:27:17,920
Speaker 6: That's going on.

412
00:27:19,440 --> 00:27:21,119
Speaker 3: You too, beget there.

413
00:27:21,160 --> 00:27:22,000
Speaker 1: I ruined it.

414
00:27:23,440 --> 00:27:26,079
Speaker 7: Now, you see. I was never and I'm not like

415
00:27:26,119 --> 00:27:29,359
a big creed guy. I never really got the creed thing.

416
00:27:30,119 --> 00:27:32,799
But I heard that. So he didn't really ruin it.

417
00:27:32,799 --> 00:27:35,599
It was actually he actually.

418
00:27:35,240 --> 00:27:36,160
Speaker 6: Made it, improved it.

419
00:27:36,359 --> 00:27:38,279
Speaker 7: Yeah, he made it better you see.

420
00:27:38,119 --> 00:27:39,759
Speaker 3: So palatable for you.

421
00:27:39,920 --> 00:27:42,960
Speaker 7: Huh exactly. Yeah. It had the reverse effect on me.

422
00:27:43,119 --> 00:27:44,079
Speaker 6: So that's great.

423
00:27:44,559 --> 00:27:47,640
Speaker 2: You know me guy singing in a strong, deep voice.

424
00:27:48,079 --> 00:27:53,319
Those are my favorite kind of vocalists. So did you.

425
00:27:53,279 --> 00:27:55,839
Speaker 1: Spill your juice on the floor. Oh, I like the

426
00:27:55,920 --> 00:28:03,079
new color much better. Yeah, what's that from the Twilight Zone? Uh,

427
00:28:03,440 --> 00:28:09,359
it's It's a good Life Anthony Fremont. Yeah, yeah, he'd

428
00:28:09,400 --> 00:28:10,960
like they don't want to yell at him because he'll

429
00:28:11,000 --> 00:28:14,599
wish them into the cornfield when he when he stains

430
00:28:14,680 --> 00:28:17,160
the rug, they praise him that I like the new

431
00:28:17,200 --> 00:28:17,799
color better.

432
00:28:17,960 --> 00:28:21,119
Speaker 6: Oh okay, did I learned that one backwards? Because the

433
00:28:21,119 --> 00:28:23,480
Simpsons spoofed it and then I had to go back and.

434
00:28:23,519 --> 00:28:28,039
Speaker 7: That that, hands down is the creepiest is And there

435
00:28:28,039 --> 00:28:31,160
are plenty of creepy ones, but that one, that one.

436
00:28:31,480 --> 00:28:34,559
Speaker 2: If I ever meet Billy Mooney, oh my god, I'm

437
00:28:34,559 --> 00:28:36,440
going to tell him that was the creepiest thing I've

438
00:28:36,480 --> 00:28:37,000
ever seen.

439
00:28:37,279 --> 00:28:39,240
Speaker 1: I met him, and in order for me to be

440
00:28:39,279 --> 00:28:41,559
able to talk to him without babbling, I had to

441
00:28:41,680 --> 00:28:45,240
like not think about that, and I had to not

442
00:28:45,400 --> 00:28:49,119
think about the fact that he sang fish heads, otherwise

443
00:28:49,119 --> 00:28:50,519
I wouldn't be able to get a word out.

444
00:28:50,599 --> 00:28:51,559
Speaker 2: That's hilarious.

445
00:28:54,359 --> 00:28:58,240
Speaker 6: All right, Thank you, Barbara. Another real quick break and

446
00:28:58,279 --> 00:29:00,920

455
00:29:28,839 --> 00:29:30,640
can go out and do your holiday shopping that you

456
00:29:30,680 --> 00:29:34,160
haven't started yet. Neil take it away.

457
00:29:34,759 --> 00:29:38,000
Speaker 7: Well, here's a spiffy little holiday number, and it's called

458
00:29:38,279 --> 00:29:42,640
The Dolly Rots Do Christmas. Now. You say, I was

459
00:29:42,680 --> 00:29:45,400
gonna say Dolly Rots. What the heck is a Dolly Rot?

460
00:29:45,440 --> 00:29:49,640
You ask? Yeah, Well, The Dolly Rots are an American

461
00:29:49,680 --> 00:29:52,240
punk rock band that formed in the year two thousand.

462
00:29:53,440 --> 00:29:56,720
They're comprised of Kelly Ogden on bass and lead vocals

463
00:29:56,799 --> 00:30:01,160
and Luis Cabazos on guitar and backing vocal. They perform

464
00:30:01,200 --> 00:30:04,599
as a trio live and they've used a slew of

465
00:30:04,640 --> 00:30:07,119
drummers over the years, so I'm not even gonna mention

466
00:30:07,200 --> 00:30:10,400
all them now. The two of these guys have known

467
00:30:10,440 --> 00:30:15,400
each other since meeting in eighth grade in Lando Lakes, Florida,

468
00:30:15,440 --> 00:30:18,440
and they both attended the New College in Florida together

469
00:30:19,039 --> 00:30:23,400
and that's where they started playing music. Now, after being

470
00:30:23,400 --> 00:30:26,839
disillusioned with the results of the year two thousand presidential election.

471
00:30:27,000 --> 00:30:31,799
You remember the Hanging Chads, they decided to make the

472
00:30:31,839 --> 00:30:33,039
band full time.

473
00:30:34,039 --> 00:30:34,200
Speaker 6: Now.

474
00:30:34,240 --> 00:30:37,519
Speaker 7: As Kelly Igden puts it, and I paraphrase a little here,

475
00:30:38,920 --> 00:30:42,519
Luis and I were like, the world's probably gonna end anyway,

476
00:30:42,680 --> 00:30:44,960
and I don't want to go to med school, so

477
00:30:45,039 --> 00:30:48,039
we thought, let's just do the band. We have no

478
00:30:48,119 --> 00:30:51,279
future anyways, so let's just be in a rock band.

479
00:30:51,599 --> 00:30:54,599
And you know, I think that is the best philosophy

480
00:30:54,920 --> 00:30:56,759
I've ever heard in my life.

481
00:30:56,920 --> 00:30:59,640
Speaker 6: Time is a limited quantity, so make the most.

482
00:31:01,240 --> 00:31:05,279
Speaker 7: And since then, they've released nine studio albums plus many

483
00:31:05,319 --> 00:31:09,319
singles and EPs featuring both original and cool cover songs

484
00:31:09,759 --> 00:31:13,960
on various indie labels, including their own, and they're currently

485
00:31:14,000 --> 00:31:18,599
signed with Little Stephen van Zandt's Wicked Cool label. Now.

486
00:31:18,640 --> 00:31:21,480
The Dolly Rots Do Christmas As We'll Hear is a

487
00:31:21,519 --> 00:31:25,680
medley of several Christmas favorites and classics, and it came

488
00:31:25,720 --> 00:31:30,240
out somewhere around twenty eighteen and it's currently available on

489
00:31:30,319 --> 00:31:33,720
a vinyl LP as well as a CD called A

490
00:31:33,960 --> 00:31:37,559
Very Dolly Rots Christmas and that features a collection of

491
00:31:37,640 --> 00:31:40,640
Christmas and holiday songs that the band has recorded over

492
00:31:40,680 --> 00:31:44,960
the years. So hey, let's do Christmas with the dolly

493
00:31:45,039 --> 00:31:51,759
Rotstunta dot.

494
00:31:51,640 --> 00:31:59,160

some dgain that old sail cat day found Old.

520

00:34:48,079 --> 00:34:51,880
coming to town. Silent Night, Rudolph the Red Nose Reindeer,

527
00:34:52,119 --> 00:34:56,960
Frosty the Snowman, and we wish you a merry Christmas. Now.

528
00:34:57,000 --> 00:35:00,119
Aside from recording and touring, Kelly Ogden is also with

529
00:35:00,239 --> 00:35:06,119
DJ on Serious XM's Underground Garage, where their song I'm

530
00:35:06,159 --> 00:35:09,199
Awesome was voted the coolest song in the world by

531
00:35:09,239 --> 00:35:12,800
a listener's poll back in two thousand and seven, and

532
00:35:12,880 --> 00:35:15,679
another song called Everything won the same honor in the

533
00:35:15,760 --> 00:35:20,800
year twenty nineteen. Now, along with Cabasis, they are married.

534
00:35:20,840 --> 00:35:23,280
By the way, the couple have two children, a boy

535
00:35:23,320 --> 00:35:27,000
and a girl, River and Daisy, respectively, who often accompany

536
00:35:27,079 --> 00:35:30,159
them on tour and sometimes appear with them on stage

537
00:35:30,719 --> 00:35:34,440
stealing the show. As I discovered while seeing them last

538
00:35:34,480 --> 00:35:38,440
summer at a place called the Colony up in Woodstock,

539
00:35:38,559 --> 00:35:41,440
New York. So if you get the chance, I highly

540
00:35:41,519 --> 00:35:45,440
recommend you check them out. The Dolly Rots excellent.

541
00:35:45,679 --> 00:35:48,599
Speaker 1: That was cool and I almost popped my stitches dancing

542
00:35:48,679 --> 00:35:49,119
and that one.

543
00:35:49,440 --> 00:35:51,199
Speaker 2: Oh boy, that would not be good.

544
00:35:53,440 --> 00:35:56,239
Speaker 6: So, I you know, I mentioned figgy pudding as that

545
00:35:56,400 --> 00:36:00,639
song does, and I've never had it. I don't even

546
00:36:00,800 --> 00:36:03,719
it's like figgie pudding literally figs. I don't know it's

547
00:36:03,800 --> 00:36:05,320
it's yeah.

548
00:36:05,360 --> 00:36:08,000
Speaker 1: I actually saw like a cooking show the other day

549
00:36:08,199 --> 00:36:11,639
when I was convalescing doing nothing, demonstrating how.

550
00:36:11,639 --> 00:36:13,599
Speaker 3: To make it, and yeah, it's figs.

551
00:36:13,840 --> 00:36:16,719
Speaker 6: So why is it figgy pudding as opposed to fig

552
00:36:17,000 --> 00:36:17,679
fig pudding?

553
00:36:18,480 --> 00:36:20,159
Speaker 2: Because that was not explained.

554
00:36:20,280 --> 00:36:24,480
Speaker 6: Only the way to make it sounds like it's so ish.

555
00:36:26,039 --> 00:36:28,320
Speaker 7: Fits better in the song. I think, you know, yeah,

556
00:36:28,719 --> 00:36:29,559
there's some fig.

557
00:36:33,000 --> 00:36:35,840
Speaker 6: Fig pudding fig putting. It fits.

558
00:36:37,559 --> 00:36:40,400
Speaker 7: I don't know if it's actually correct me if I'm wrong,

559
00:36:40,440 --> 00:36:44,039
but put figgy pudding or iny you it's not really putting.

560
00:36:44,079 --> 00:36:47,800
Speaker 1: It's more like a little like hey cake, it's a cake, yeah,

561
00:36:47,920 --> 00:36:51,039
it's It's the thing is figs are the main ingredient,

562
00:36:51,079 --> 00:36:54,679
but it's got other stuff in it, so it's it's

563
00:36:56,119 --> 00:36:59,719
like a fig big pudding. It's figgy because it's got

564
00:36:59,800 --> 00:37:00,480
fig in it.

565
00:37:00,679 --> 00:37:03,159
Speaker 7: Yeah, I think of like, you know, jello, you know,

566
00:37:03,400 --> 00:37:05,599
pudding pops or something like. No, there's nothing like that

567
00:37:05,719 --> 00:37:06,000
at all.

568
00:37:07,119 --> 00:37:09,559
Speaker 6: All right, I don't know. Maybe the season will break

569
00:37:09,599 --> 00:37:13,039
the mold. Try it. I don't know. Go either way.

570
00:37:13,119 --> 00:37:14,159
Is it basically like a figure?

571
00:37:14,800 --> 00:37:17,840
Speaker 7: Get back to me on that, because I'm not interested.

572
00:37:18,920 --> 00:37:20,599
I was not to appetize it.

573
00:37:20,760 --> 00:37:22,679
Speaker 6: But if somebody plops it down and be like, all right,

574
00:37:22,800 --> 00:37:25,679
well give me a shot, I just gave it too sweet.

575
00:37:26,159 --> 00:37:32,920
Speaker 8: It's a traditional British dessert. It's traditional recipes sometimes contain

576
00:37:33,039 --> 00:37:36,880
no figs. The figgy and plumb in older names refer

577
00:37:37,000 --> 00:37:39,599
to raisins and other dry gross general.

578
00:37:40,280 --> 00:37:40,440
Speaker 7: Yeah.

579
00:37:40,719 --> 00:37:40,920
Speaker 8: Yeah.

580
00:37:43,239 --> 00:37:47,639
Speaker 7: In England they eat Heinz baked beans on toast for breakfast.

581
00:37:49,360 --> 00:37:51,440
Speaker 6: And they up their peas like that makes them better.

582
00:37:51,599 --> 00:37:55,199
Speaker 4: Yeah, So there you go. That's fake pudding.

583
00:37:56,440 --> 00:37:59,599
Speaker 6: Never mind, Sorry I brought it up. It's not going

584
00:37:59,679 --> 00:37:59,920
to do it.

585
00:38:00,079 --> 00:38:02,000
Speaker 4: So yeah, it sounds like fruitcake basically.

586
00:38:02,320 --> 00:38:05,719
Speaker 6: Nope, nope, all right, one more to go and that

587
00:38:05,800 --> 00:38:09,320
will wrap up our twenty twenty five holiday season. I

588
00:38:09,440 --> 00:38:12,320
went with a song from nineteen seventy four. Called Santa

589
00:38:12,360 --> 00:38:16,639
Claus Wants Some Lovin by Albert King. Albert King was

590
00:38:17,079 --> 00:38:19,639
one of the most influential blues and rock guitarists, even

591
00:38:19,639 --> 00:38:22,840
if people don't recognize his name now. He was born

592
00:38:22,960 --> 00:38:26,280
in nineteen twenty three in Mississippi and was later named

593
00:38:26,679 --> 00:38:30,960
the Velvet Bulldozer because he was around six foot four

594
00:38:31,000 --> 00:38:33,800
inches tall and two hundred and fifty pounds, and on

595
00:38:33,920 --> 00:38:36,239
top of that, he actually drove a bulldozer to make

596
00:38:36,400 --> 00:38:39,199
ends meet because music doesn't always pay a lot of money.

597
00:38:40,239 --> 00:38:42,880
As it turns out, his name wasn't really Albert King.

598
00:38:43,079 --> 00:38:45,800
His name was Albert Nelson and that's how he was

599
00:38:45,920 --> 00:38:48,559
known until about nineteen fifty three, when he was around

600
00:38:48,559 --> 00:38:51,719
twenty years old. Then he started using the stage name

601
00:38:51,880 --> 00:38:56,440
Albert King and claimed to be from Indianola, Mississippi, and

602
00:38:56,679 --> 00:39:01,199
claimed to be BB King's half brother. He was neither

603
00:39:01,320 --> 00:39:03,960
of those. He was not BB King's half brother. He

604
00:39:04,119 --> 00:39:07,480
was not from Indianola, where BB King was from. He

605
00:39:07,559 --> 00:39:10,599
also took on the nickname Blues Boy, which is how

606
00:39:11,079 --> 00:39:13,800
the real BV got his name, and he started calling

607
00:39:13,880 --> 00:39:17,239
his guitars Lucy as opposed to BB King's guitars, which

608
00:39:17,280 --> 00:39:22,039
were called Lucille. See piggybacking much? Maybe is this the

609
00:39:22,119 --> 00:39:26,559
wise Men's camels right here? Piggybacking on again? So, as

610
00:39:26,599 --> 00:39:28,880
you can imagine, the real BB King was not too

611
00:39:28,960 --> 00:39:32,280
happy about that for quite a while until he met

612
00:39:32,360 --> 00:39:35,159
Albert and got to know him well. And the real

613
00:39:35,199 --> 00:39:38,400
BB would later say, he wasn't my brother in blood,

614
00:39:38,480 --> 00:39:40,880
but he sure was my brother in the blues, So

615
00:39:41,119 --> 00:39:44,000
apparently he got over it. There was room and enough

616
00:39:44,079 --> 00:39:45,760
work for both of them, so they were able to

617
00:39:45,800 --> 00:39:49,800
move forward as friends. Albert moved from Mississippi to Arkansas,

618
00:39:50,039 --> 00:39:54,280
then to Gary, Indiana, and then wound up in Brooklyn, Illinois,

619
00:39:54,360 --> 00:39:56,639
not Brooklyn, New York, which is on the other side

620
00:39:56,679 --> 00:39:59,760
of the Mississippi River from Saint Louis. He started to

621
00:39:59,760 --> 00:40:02,280
be I'm well known around the Saint Louis nightclub circuit

622
00:40:02,360 --> 00:40:05,679
along with two guys that you may recognize, Ike Turner

623
00:40:05,760 --> 00:40:08,679
and Chuck Berry. He was in the same circles with them.

624
00:40:09,639 --> 00:40:12,719
He went on to Memphis and was signed by Stax Records,

625
00:40:13,119 --> 00:40:15,480
recording with Booker T and the MGS. Of course, we

626
00:40:15,679 --> 00:40:18,719
just lost Steve Cropper, so this song became the downer

627
00:40:18,840 --> 00:40:21,079
that the spinal tap one also became a downer, and

628
00:40:21,679 --> 00:40:24,760
neither of those are my fault this time around. It

629
00:40:24,880 --> 00:40:27,519
was at Stacks that he recorded his best known song,

630
00:40:28,119 --> 00:40:31,519
Born under a Bad Sign, which has been covered by

631
00:40:31,679 --> 00:40:36,719
countless others, most importantly Homer Simpson. Go listen to that version.

632
00:40:37,920 --> 00:40:41,280
No thank you, Oh, I insists, Oh it's awesome, Yeah,

633
00:40:41,360 --> 00:40:44,519
I insist. He continued to work and tour up until

634
00:40:44,559 --> 00:40:46,800
his death from a heart attack in nineteen ninety two.

635
00:40:47,519 --> 00:40:50,480
He was working on planning a tour with BB King

636
00:40:50,679 --> 00:40:54,119
and Bobby Bland when he passed away. He was inducted

637
00:40:54,159 --> 00:40:56,280
into the Blues Hall of Fame in nineteen eighty three

638
00:40:56,480 --> 00:40:58,800
and posthumously inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of

639
00:40:58,880 --> 00:41:04,079
Fame in twenty thirty. Team Albert was a left handed player.

640
00:41:04,400 --> 00:41:07,440
He played a right handed guitar flipped over upside down,

641
00:41:07,880 --> 00:41:11,119
which might remind you of another guitarist whose name escapes

642
00:41:11,199 --> 00:41:11,760
me at the moment.

643
00:41:12,599 --> 00:41:16,000
Speaker 7: I forgot yeah, I don't know some some other guy

644
00:41:16,239 --> 00:41:16,639
I don't know.

645
00:41:16,840 --> 00:41:23,000
Speaker 6: James something something along those lines. He would also use

646
00:41:23,199 --> 00:41:26,599
alternative tuning and light gauge strings to get his unique

647
00:41:26,599 --> 00:41:31,079
string bending sounds. He usually played a flying V guitar,

648
00:41:31,800 --> 00:41:35,000
unlike a lot of musicians. I just couldn't find anything

649
00:41:35,039 --> 00:41:38,000
controversial about this guy other than him trying to piggyback

650
00:41:38,039 --> 00:41:41,159
on Bvking. He just really seemed to be a hardworking

651
00:41:41,280 --> 00:41:44,320
musician and just never really stirred the pot too much,

652
00:41:44,599 --> 00:41:46,480
which makes for a boring story, but it makes for

653
00:41:46,559 --> 00:41:47,320
a nice gentleman.

654
00:41:47,800 --> 00:41:49,679
Speaker 3: You disappointed by the time I was.

655
00:41:49,800 --> 00:41:51,360
Speaker 6: You start to dig down the hole and you're like,

656
00:41:51,360 --> 00:41:54,280
all right, where you know? Got arrested for something? He

657
00:41:54,400 --> 00:41:59,320
posted ball jump, nothing, nothing. He just toured, worked very

658
00:41:59,440 --> 00:42:02,559
very hard at it craft and succeeded for it. So

659
00:42:03,119 --> 00:42:05,239
hats off to Albert King. I can't really argue with that.

660
00:42:06,760 --> 00:42:09,119
Santa Claus Wants Some Lovin was released as a single

661
00:42:09,199 --> 00:42:12,920
in nineteen seventy four. Like Gale, I will not explain

662
00:42:13,000 --> 00:42:16,199
what the content is. You can probably figure it out

663
00:42:16,239 --> 00:42:17,239
for yourself, alright.

664
00:42:17,519 --> 00:42:17,679
Speaker 12: Then.

Speaker 4: And Rudolph.

695
00:45:27,159 --> 00:45:31,000
Speaker 6: I think they may be on a loop tonight. So

696
00:45:31,159 --> 00:45:33,239
you have it, Albert King. And of course I think

697
00:45:33,280 --> 00:45:35,639
our professor had an experience with Albert.

698
00:45:35,400 --> 00:45:40,360
Speaker 7: Right who me you? Oh, yeah, well well I didn't

699
00:45:40,960 --> 00:45:45,000
I saw him perform. Yeah, and it was the final

700
00:45:45,079 --> 00:45:48,599
shows at the legendary Fillmore East. He opened the show

701
00:45:48,719 --> 00:45:53,239
Albert King for Jay Giles Band and the Olman Brothers band,

702
00:45:54,360 --> 00:45:58,480
and yeah, it was pretty awesome there. I was the

703
00:45:58,599 --> 00:46:02,480
ripe old age of sixteen or something. He didn't play

704
00:46:02,679 --> 00:46:05,159
He didn't play that song though, because well I think

705
00:46:05,159 --> 00:46:07,639
it was in like, you know, in the summertime, so

706
00:46:07,800 --> 00:46:11,760
it was it was not Christmas time, so he didn't

707
00:46:11,800 --> 00:46:14,960
do that one. But no, he I think he was,

708
00:46:15,480 --> 00:46:20,760
you know, probably one of the more influential guitar players

709
00:46:20,840 --> 00:46:24,599
on the British guitar players you know the Claptains and

710
00:46:25,199 --> 00:46:30,239
and and and like you know that he wasn't, you know,

711
00:46:30,440 --> 00:46:32,280
he didn't, you know, even though he tried to emulate

712
00:46:32,360 --> 00:46:35,199
BB King and even Freddie King. I don't know if

713
00:46:35,239 --> 00:46:38,079
he was related either, but they were the three Kings

714
00:46:38,119 --> 00:46:42,760
of the Blues. But yeah, I think he was influential,

715
00:46:42,840 --> 00:46:46,239
whether or not he got the you know, recognition from

716
00:46:46,280 --> 00:46:48,400
the general public or not, but.

717
00:46:48,679 --> 00:46:51,559
Speaker 6: Maybe not mainstream, but other musicians knew, yeah he was.

718
00:46:51,679 --> 00:46:54,280
Speaker 7: He was like, yeah, the musicians knew who he was, Yeah,

719
00:46:55,679 --> 00:46:56,199
that was great.

720
00:46:56,360 --> 00:46:58,960
Speaker 6: All right. So that brings us to the end of

721
00:46:59,239 --> 00:47:03,679
holiday season twenty five. We live what should I say,

722
00:47:05,480 --> 00:47:07,960
I like you know the shows where we go a

723
00:47:08,079 --> 00:47:11,760
few levels deeper than normal instead of the typical you know,

724
00:47:11,960 --> 00:47:14,000
Christmas cows and all that. They have their place and

725
00:47:14,079 --> 00:47:16,639
they all have good stories behind it, but this stuff

726
00:47:16,679 --> 00:47:20,199
makes it much better. So awesome job, crampones across the board.

727
00:47:21,079 --> 00:47:23,639
Any final thoughts before we will pull the plug and

728
00:47:23,760 --> 00:47:25,760
take the Christmas tree to the curb. Call it a year.

729
00:47:27,400 --> 00:47:29,239
Speaker 4: Let's take down the decorations and move on.

730
00:47:29,400 --> 00:47:32,480
Speaker 6: Right, you got it's time to put up the Valentine's stuff. Yeah,

731
00:47:32,599 --> 00:47:34,599
come on, clocks ticking, let's go, let's go.

732
00:47:35,079 --> 00:47:37,440
Speaker 7: I haven't even taken down my Halloween stuff yet.

733
00:47:37,519 --> 00:47:39,079
Speaker 6: Well that's a year round in your house.

734
00:47:39,159 --> 00:47:41,920
Speaker 7: That's that's much normal.

735
00:47:42,639 --> 00:47:43,360
Speaker 2: I actually have my.

736
00:47:43,440 --> 00:47:45,920
Speaker 1: Halloween birdhouse is out with my Christmas stuff.

737
00:47:47,559 --> 00:47:48,039
Speaker 11: That works.

738
00:47:48,760 --> 00:47:52,559
Speaker 6: I don't judge. All right, great job, Crambone's and a

something a little deeper, a little more interesting, not your

747
00:48:12,760 --> 00:48:17,119
