1
00:00:12,000 --> 00:00:14,240
Speaker 1: Hello everybody, and welcome back to the Shirley You Can't

2
00:00:14,320 --> 00:00:19,039
Be Serious Podcast. You are joining us for an episode

3
00:00:19,039 --> 00:00:22,079
in a series of episodes where we are covering our

4
00:00:22,199 --> 00:00:25,879
top five TV themes. We started this earlier this year,

5
00:00:26,239 --> 00:00:29,320
covered our top five from the first half of the seventies,

6
00:00:29,519 --> 00:00:31,559
our top five from the second half of the seventies,

7
00:00:31,920 --> 00:00:34,799
top half of the eighties, bottom half of the eighties,

8
00:00:35,000 --> 00:00:37,479
just keep on going. And our last episode, which came

9
00:00:37,479 --> 00:00:41,359
out just last week, we did the top five TV

10
00:00:41,479 --> 00:00:46,159
themes from nineteen ninety to nineteen ninety four. Today you're

11
00:00:46,200 --> 00:00:49,640
back for the Top five TV themes nineteen ninety five

12
00:00:50,000 --> 00:00:51,399
to nineteen ninety nine. Yeah.

13
00:00:51,479 --> 00:00:53,479
Speaker 2: Right before we started this, d I told you I

14
00:00:53,520 --> 00:00:56,079
love doing this. It's a little bit out of my

15
00:00:56,200 --> 00:00:59,159
normal sweet spot. Yeah, and so it transports me back

16
00:00:59,159 --> 00:01:01,119
to a time that I I don't visit as much

17
00:01:01,159 --> 00:01:05,000
as nineteen eighty seven. Say sure, but so we're gonna

18
00:01:05,040 --> 00:01:06,640
do ninety five to ninety nine.

19
00:01:06,920 --> 00:01:07,280
Speaker 1: I was.

20
00:01:07,359 --> 00:01:09,319
Speaker 2: I got married in ninety six, So this is a

21
00:01:09,480 --> 00:01:11,599
transition in my life. It's a little bit different, which

22
00:01:11,760 --> 00:01:14,000
I think is really cool, at least for me. I

23
00:01:14,040 --> 00:01:17,159
went to college in ninety one and that's when music changed.

24
00:01:17,400 --> 00:01:17,640
Speaker 1: Yeah.

25
00:01:17,719 --> 00:01:19,719
Speaker 2: Right, so my high school years and my college year's

26
00:01:19,799 --> 00:01:23,159
totally different in music. And then, you know, late nineties,

27
00:01:23,200 --> 00:01:25,480
I'm married, and so my TV watching is a little

28
00:01:25,480 --> 00:01:26,159
bit different, you know.

29
00:01:26,439 --> 00:01:29,480
Speaker 1: Right. Well, I mentioned the you know, the three and

30
00:01:29,519 --> 00:01:32,040
a half weeks that Gregory and Chants were popular in

31
00:01:32,120 --> 00:01:35,400
nineteen ninety four on our previous episode, Right, I happened

32
00:01:35,400 --> 00:01:37,159
to go look and see what other things were on

33
00:01:37,239 --> 00:01:39,359
the top albums at that time. I mean, you had

34
00:01:39,400 --> 00:01:42,680
Pearl Jam, ten, you had Nirvana, nevermind, you had all

35
00:01:42,760 --> 00:01:45,200
of these huge albums, and then of course you've got

36
00:01:45,200 --> 00:01:47,319
Gregorian Chance. That was a little weird.

37
00:01:47,439 --> 00:01:51,319
Speaker 2: You know, there are some mysterious shooting comments from the

38
00:01:51,400 --> 00:01:53,040
nineties that make no sense to me.

39
00:01:53,239 --> 00:01:56,040
Speaker 1: Well, I mean, you just, in addition to the change

40
00:01:56,079 --> 00:01:59,319
in popular music from the heavy metal of the eighties

41
00:01:59,560 --> 00:02:03,359
to the alternative music that first came out like Nirvana

42
00:02:03,359 --> 00:02:06,000
and Pearl Jam, you also had the introduction of a

43
00:02:06,040 --> 00:02:09,520
whole lot more rap music, different kinds of rap music.

44
00:02:09,759 --> 00:02:12,560
You had the introduction of the New Age music, which

45
00:02:12,639 --> 00:02:15,080
was really popular at that time, and then you had

46
00:02:15,159 --> 00:02:18,479
bands like Primus that we're doing stuff that you can't

47
00:02:18,479 --> 00:02:22,400
even define, right, and so it was really an incredible

48
00:02:22,439 --> 00:02:25,960
time for music, and that translated into what we were

49
00:02:26,000 --> 00:02:28,520
hearing out of our TV shows as well.

50
00:02:28,560 --> 00:02:30,599
Speaker 2: You mentioned the name Primus. We're going to talk about

51
00:02:30,599 --> 00:02:31,479
them here in just a minute.

52
00:02:31,479 --> 00:02:35,639
Speaker 1: Oh, yes, we are awesome. Okay, So I see a

53
00:02:35,719 --> 00:02:39,159
cross overcoming ahead. I think so, I think so. All right,

54
00:02:39,360 --> 00:02:42,439
so we are going to jump right in. Just as

55
00:02:42,439 --> 00:02:45,080
a reminder of the rules. As long as this show

56
00:02:45,199 --> 00:02:49,039
was playing sometime from nineteen ninety five to nineteen ninety nine,

57
00:02:49,280 --> 00:02:54,319
it qualifies. And we stick with songs that were composed

58
00:02:54,360 --> 00:02:58,280
specifically for the show or were otherwise going to be

59
00:02:58,479 --> 00:03:01,280
lost in the midst of history, but became super mega

60
00:03:01,360 --> 00:03:04,039
hits because they were associated with the show. That was

61
00:03:04,120 --> 00:03:07,759
Jason's pass from the last episode. Yes, Bad Boys, Bad Boys,

62
00:03:07,800 --> 00:03:10,080
What You're Gonna do? Who would know that song if

63
00:03:10,120 --> 00:03:11,199
not for the show Cops.

64
00:03:11,319 --> 00:03:13,199
Speaker 2: Yes, and I may ask for a little bend in

65
00:03:13,240 --> 00:03:14,360
the rules this time as well.

66
00:03:14,439 --> 00:03:17,240
Speaker 1: That doesn't surprise. And by the way, I will note

67
00:03:17,240 --> 00:03:19,080
that you did not bend in the rules at all

68
00:03:19,199 --> 00:03:22,919
when we did our Top five Worst Sequels of the eighties.

69
00:03:23,080 --> 00:03:26,039
But I can accept that because eventually we will be

70
00:03:26,120 --> 00:03:29,039
doing our top five worst sequels of the nineties and

71
00:03:29,080 --> 00:03:30,479
some of those things that I had to kick off

72
00:03:30,520 --> 00:03:32,360
my list. We'll come back up. That's right, it's for

73
00:03:32,400 --> 00:03:37,080
your own good Okay. Are we ready? Yes? Now? I

74
00:03:37,159 --> 00:03:39,599
started last time, so why don't you start this time

75
00:03:39,639 --> 00:03:44,479
with your number five? Five? Number five? All right?

76
00:03:44,759 --> 00:03:49,240
Speaker 2: This song was composed by a world famous composer from

77
00:03:49,319 --> 00:03:52,400
movies that you and I love. He was also the

78
00:03:52,479 --> 00:03:55,159
lead singer of a weird rock band that we've talked

79
00:03:55,159 --> 00:03:56,479
about on this podcast.

80
00:03:56,639 --> 00:04:00,560
Speaker 1: I know exactly which show you were referring to, and

81
00:04:00,599 --> 00:04:04,000
it will come up later on my list at number three.

82
00:04:04,439 --> 00:04:05,879
Do you want me to name it? Or do you

83
00:04:05,919 --> 00:04:08,800
want to come back to it? Let's come back to it. Okay,

84
00:04:08,879 --> 00:04:10,800
let's pun it down the road, all right. This is

85
00:04:10,840 --> 00:04:15,159
my number five, all right? Now here is my number five.

86
00:04:15,479 --> 00:04:18,439
This song is only at number five because it came

87
00:04:18,480 --> 00:04:22,879
out in nineteen ninety nine. It is still going today,

88
00:04:23,040 --> 00:04:25,199
and I think I'm gonna say this now, you're gonna

89
00:04:25,279 --> 00:04:28,000
notice kind of a theme for some of the shows

90
00:04:28,000 --> 00:04:31,000
that I'm gonna mention throughout this episode that you might

91
00:04:31,040 --> 00:04:34,160
not expect. Okay, okay, again, not a show I grew

92
00:04:34,240 --> 00:04:37,519
up with, but a show my kids grew up with interesting. Okay, Now,

93
00:04:37,560 --> 00:04:40,560
this song is so catchy that before the even the

94
00:04:40,720 --> 00:04:44,040
music starts, the words of the guy who's about to

95
00:04:44,079 --> 00:04:47,240
sing you a song will tell you what you need

96
00:04:47,240 --> 00:04:50,279
to start singing in just a second. Right, but before

97
00:04:50,319 --> 00:04:52,720
I get there, let me just tell you. The show

98
00:04:53,079 --> 00:04:57,279
was created by a guy named Stephen Killenberg. He was

99
00:04:57,800 --> 00:05:03,839
a marine biology educator. He had worked at Orange County

100
00:05:03,879 --> 00:05:07,439
Marine Institute and then I guess decided he wanted to

101
00:05:07,519 --> 00:05:10,879
change his vocation and went back to school to study art.

102
00:05:11,000 --> 00:05:15,360
He gets a job working as an artist for another

103
00:05:15,439 --> 00:05:19,560
TV show called Rocko's Modern Life, which is a popular

104
00:05:19,560 --> 00:05:24,040
show itself, and then he pitches this show to the

105
00:05:24,319 --> 00:05:27,360
production company. Right, let me just tell you this show

106
00:05:27,720 --> 00:05:33,279
is the most profitable property for Paramount consumer products. What

107
00:05:33,759 --> 00:05:40,240
it is Nickelodeon's highest rated series. By twenty nineteen, it

108
00:05:40,319 --> 00:05:45,920
had generated over thirteen billion dollars in revenue. What are

109
00:05:45,920 --> 00:05:51,639
you talking about? And the theme song was also composed

110
00:05:51,720 --> 00:05:56,040
by this marine biology guy who had become an artist. Okay,

111
00:05:56,240 --> 00:05:59,600
so the song is performed by a voice actor named

112
00:05:59,639 --> 00:06:03,680
Patrick Piney. He voiced Mighty Mouse whenever they did Mighty Mouse.

113
00:06:03,720 --> 00:06:05,920
The New Adventures in eighty seven and eighty eight, which

114
00:06:05,959 --> 00:06:08,160
was a cartoon I loved at that point. Okay. He

115
00:06:08,199 --> 00:06:11,879
also voiced Uncle Traveling Matt in the animated version of

116
00:06:11,959 --> 00:06:16,319
Fraggle Rock. He voiced Mainframe for G I. Joe the Movie,

117
00:06:16,519 --> 00:06:19,399
which we may talk about later. We had a great

118
00:06:19,639 --> 00:06:23,839
suggestion from Jason Koslt to do Transformers the movie and

119
00:06:24,199 --> 00:06:26,120
possibly do it against G I. Joe the movie, and

120
00:06:26,120 --> 00:06:29,519
I think that's the perfect combination. But anyway, he voiced Mainframe,

121
00:06:29,680 --> 00:06:32,639
and he also appeared in The Terminator nineteen eighty four.

122
00:06:33,040 --> 00:06:36,720
What but probably you know him best when he calls

123
00:06:36,759 --> 00:06:39,160
out these words, are you already? Kid?

124
00:06:41,439 --> 00:06:55,240
Speaker 3: I can't hear you?

125
00:06:56,800 --> 00:07:00,920
Speaker 1: That is an excellent one. Dude. You can't hear that music,

126
00:07:01,160 --> 00:07:03,560
even not having grown up with it. I cannot hear

127
00:07:03,600 --> 00:07:06,160
that music without singing along, even if you just go

128
00:07:06,439 --> 00:07:08,560
SpongeBob square pants.

129
00:07:08,839 --> 00:07:11,800
Speaker 2: I saw some talk show and they were interviewing people

130
00:07:11,800 --> 00:07:13,480
on the street. Yes, and they go up to people

131
00:07:13,480 --> 00:07:15,279
and they're like, who is the vice President of.

132
00:07:15,240 --> 00:07:16,040
Speaker 1: The United States?

133
00:07:17,319 --> 00:07:20,040
Speaker 2: And they had no idea, right, yes, And he said

134
00:07:20,199 --> 00:07:23,920
who lives in a pineapple under the sea.

135
00:07:25,519 --> 00:07:28,600
Speaker 1: That's hilarious. Yeah, that was great. So I mentioned last

136
00:07:28,600 --> 00:07:31,959
episode when you brought up Craig t. Nelson and Coach

137
00:07:32,199 --> 00:07:36,319
that another you remember Dauber from Chach Dauber is. The

138
00:07:36,439 --> 00:07:39,920
actor's name is Bill Fagerbak yep, and he is the

139
00:07:40,000 --> 00:07:43,839
voice for Patrick SpongeBob's very best friend, Starfish. Yeah, that's right.

140
00:07:43,920 --> 00:07:46,839
I guess that's right. I hadn't put that together before.

141
00:07:47,199 --> 00:07:49,160
And Clancy Brown is mister Crabs.

142
00:07:49,680 --> 00:07:52,800
Speaker 2: Clancy Brown, the bad guy from Highlander.

143
00:07:52,480 --> 00:07:56,800
Speaker 1: Iconic sadly the show creator that also helped write the

144
00:07:56,800 --> 00:08:00,240
theme music. Stephen Helenbert passed away in twenty eighteen at

145
00:08:00,240 --> 00:08:03,319
only fifty seven years old. He had contracted als, but

146
00:08:04,040 --> 00:08:07,600
in Super Bowl fifty three Maroon five did a tribute

147
00:08:07,600 --> 00:08:09,240
to him on their halftime show.

148
00:08:09,720 --> 00:08:12,079
Speaker 2: It was great, fantastic, Yeah, fantastic.

149
00:08:12,120 --> 00:08:13,800
Speaker 1: Okay, so we're to my number four.

150
00:08:15,639 --> 00:08:16,360
Speaker 3: Four.

151
00:08:16,519 --> 00:08:21,079
Speaker 2: This song, the original singer was a guy. Hey, yeah,

152
00:08:21,120 --> 00:08:23,319
that's not the important part, all right.

153
00:08:23,399 --> 00:08:25,600
Speaker 1: He was a guy. It's just a guy, just a guy,

154
00:08:25,839 --> 00:08:26,319
Just just a.

155
00:08:26,240 --> 00:08:30,759
Speaker 2: Guy who's sang this season one and the show did

156
00:08:30,800 --> 00:08:34,000
so well that they called in the replacement singer and

157
00:08:34,120 --> 00:08:37,440
brought in to cover the same theme song, cheap Trick.

158
00:08:37,720 --> 00:08:40,399
Speaker 1: Oh okay, I got a TV theme by Cheap Trick.

159
00:08:40,440 --> 00:08:42,960
I'm trying to figure yes, yeah, I'm not got nothing.

160
00:08:43,039 --> 00:08:43,840
Keep going, Cheap.

161
00:08:43,639 --> 00:08:47,559
Speaker 2: Trick, singer of the world famous song from Top Gun,

162
00:08:47,759 --> 00:08:48,480
Mighty Wings.

163
00:08:48,720 --> 00:08:51,000
Speaker 1: Yeah, your favorite song from that album, right.

164
00:08:51,600 --> 00:08:54,320
Speaker 2: Along with Surrender and I Want You to Want Me

165
00:08:54,399 --> 00:08:56,639
and a billion other songs from seven.

166
00:08:56,840 --> 00:08:58,639
Speaker 1: I think I got it. I think I had it

167
00:08:58,639 --> 00:09:01,279
before you said the seventy I know that I've got

168
00:09:01,279 --> 00:09:04,679
it now. This is the theme from that seventies show

169
00:09:04,799 --> 00:09:05,440
You Got.

170
00:09:05,240 --> 00:09:13,559
Speaker 2: It the.

171
00:09:21,120 --> 00:09:25,480
Speaker 1: Wisconsin. I honestly, this was in my radar. I was like, Okay,

172
00:09:25,519 --> 00:09:26,919
this is a big song, and I listened to it

173
00:09:26,919 --> 00:09:29,039
and I'm like, it's not really that great. What makes

174
00:09:29,080 --> 00:09:31,639
this song great is the fact that they're all singing

175
00:09:31,679 --> 00:09:34,320
it in the car. That's true. Yeah, thanks, I mean that,

176
00:09:34,679 --> 00:09:37,159
just the humor and fun of that is what makes

177
00:09:37,159 --> 00:09:38,879
the song so great. I agree with you.

178
00:09:39,000 --> 00:09:42,240
Speaker 2: The song is not particularly wonderful, but the participation of

179
00:09:42,279 --> 00:09:44,120
the cast and the singing and the fun and the

180
00:09:44,159 --> 00:09:47,080
rearranging seats and all that stuff, it's very Wainswell.

181
00:09:47,279 --> 00:09:49,480
Speaker 1: Yes, by the way, I learned this today. Okay.

182
00:09:49,639 --> 00:09:52,080
Speaker 2: The character on the show named Fez. They all call

183
00:09:52,159 --> 00:09:55,279
him Fez yes, his name is not Fes. Okay, that's

184
00:09:55,320 --> 00:09:57,960
not his name. They call him Fees because he's a

185
00:09:58,240 --> 00:10:03,279
foreign exchange student. I had never really realized that. Wow,

186
00:10:03,720 --> 00:10:06,080
this theme song does a great job of sort of

187
00:10:06,360 --> 00:10:08,600
bringing us back to a time and you would drive

188
00:10:08,639 --> 00:10:11,240
around and you're doing a whole lot of nothing, but

189
00:10:11,360 --> 00:10:12,039
you're hanging out.

190
00:10:12,120 --> 00:10:14,639
Speaker 1: There's nothing to do, but you're hanging out with your friends. Yeah.

191
00:10:14,679 --> 00:10:18,000
Have you seen that nineties show? No? No, same casts back,

192
00:10:18,039 --> 00:10:21,360
but you know it's it's crazy because in the nineties

193
00:10:21,480 --> 00:10:22,960
twenty years ago. Was in the seventies.

194
00:10:23,120 --> 00:10:24,600
Speaker 2: That is insane.

195
00:10:24,399 --> 00:10:27,080
Speaker 1: D eighties is thirty years ago. Now, Bro, you're hurting

196
00:10:27,080 --> 00:10:30,960
my feelings. Yeah, okay, here is my number four. Okay.

197
00:10:31,039 --> 00:10:34,759
This show ran from nineteen ninety seven to two thousand

198
00:10:34,799 --> 00:10:38,200
and ten. The theme song for the show was composed

199
00:10:38,279 --> 00:10:42,039
by the group The Refreshments, which when I first moved

200
00:10:42,120 --> 00:10:44,799
to Tulsa in nineteen ninety six I got to see

201
00:10:44,799 --> 00:10:47,519
live at Edgefest ninety six. I still have a T

202
00:10:47,679 --> 00:10:50,159
shirt that has the Refreshments on the back of the

203
00:10:50,200 --> 00:10:52,639
T shirt. Okay, they're a fun group. I would tell

204
00:10:52,679 --> 00:10:54,600
people they put on the best show. They got up

205
00:10:54,639 --> 00:10:57,120
there and they had a fantastic time. And the song

206
00:10:57,200 --> 00:11:00,200
that they use for the show is called Yahoo, Who's

207
00:11:00,200 --> 00:11:03,759
in Triangles? Yeah? Who's in Triangles? You don't know it yet,

208
00:11:03,799 --> 00:11:08,000
do you know? Okay? Nothing. The soundtrack for this show,

209
00:11:08,080 --> 00:11:11,360
for this TV series came out in nineteen ninety eight,

210
00:11:11,440 --> 00:11:13,639
had two singles off of it. One of them was

211
00:11:14,000 --> 00:11:16,840
move It On Over by Travis Tritt and George Thorogood

212
00:11:17,000 --> 00:11:19,200
and the other one was get in Line by Bare

213
00:11:19,279 --> 00:11:22,000
Naked Ladies has a ton I mean, all kinds of

214
00:11:22,240 --> 00:11:25,080
artists that you wouldn't expect to be together on one album.

215
00:11:25,159 --> 00:11:26,919
But what I'm about to say, I think we'll give

216
00:11:26,919 --> 00:11:30,399
it away. Okay. The show was created by the same

217
00:11:30,519 --> 00:11:34,039
guy who gave us office space and Beavis and butt Head.

218
00:11:35,000 --> 00:11:40,720
Speaker 2: Is this Daria, Damn Bobby. It's King of the Hill.

219
00:11:52,440 --> 00:11:55,600
Speaker 1: So I've expanded my knowledge on the information about the

220
00:11:55,600 --> 00:11:59,600
song itself. But again, you have this great introduction, partly

221
00:11:59,720 --> 00:12:02,159
because because of what's going on on the screen in

222
00:12:02,159 --> 00:12:04,480
front of you, which is the guy standing around drinking

223
00:12:04,519 --> 00:12:06,960
beer in fast motion where they're back and forth and

224
00:12:07,000 --> 00:12:09,799
back and forth, and it's yeah, it's absolutely hysterical. And

225
00:12:09,840 --> 00:12:12,279
then of course you have the cow bell come in

226
00:12:12,360 --> 00:12:13,159
and it's so perfect.

227
00:12:13,320 --> 00:12:16,320
Speaker 2: It's telefun, it's telefun viavs. And butthead was such a

228
00:12:16,440 --> 00:12:19,159
huge force in my life in the nineties. Yeah, I

229
00:12:19,279 --> 00:12:21,279
considered the Beas butt Heead theme song for this.

230
00:12:21,720 --> 00:12:24,320
Speaker 1: Oh well, all right, that's a good one. Okay, moving

231
00:12:24,360 --> 00:12:28,960
on to my number three three.

232
00:12:29,000 --> 00:12:32,240
Speaker 2: This song was composed by a guy named Bruce Miller, Okay,

233
00:12:32,279 --> 00:12:36,639
and his directions were, do not be specific about any

234
00:12:36,919 --> 00:12:38,360
subject that the show is.

235
00:12:38,360 --> 00:12:40,960
Speaker 1: About, So you've got to be very vague, okay.

236
00:12:41,080 --> 00:12:44,440
Speaker 2: Now, then, so he takes some lyrics, puts them together.

237
00:12:44,600 --> 00:12:46,159
You know the words of the song. I know the

238
00:12:46,159 --> 00:12:48,360
words of this song. But if you stop and think

239
00:12:48,519 --> 00:12:50,840
what the heck do these words mean? It might be

240
00:12:50,840 --> 00:12:52,120
a little confusing.

241
00:12:52,000 --> 00:12:52,799
Speaker 1: Okay, Okay.

242
00:12:53,000 --> 00:12:56,960
Speaker 2: So these are two food items that symbolize something that

243
00:12:57,080 --> 00:12:57,879
is mixed up.

244
00:12:57,919 --> 00:13:00,440
Speaker 1: Okay, John Blank, all right, let me throw the eta.

245
00:13:00,559 --> 00:13:04,399
Speaker 2: The food items are tossed salads and scrambled eggs.

246
00:13:05,039 --> 00:13:07,480
Speaker 1: Hey baby, I'm here the blues A call in toss

247
00:13:07,519 --> 00:13:13,279
salads and scrambled eggs white style. And I know this

248
00:13:13,639 --> 00:13:16,360
and these lyrics only come out in the closing credits.

249
00:13:16,440 --> 00:13:18,639
But this was the song that I was like, I

250
00:13:18,720 --> 00:13:21,440
can't I don't want to cut this from my list

251
00:13:21,519 --> 00:13:24,320
that I'm confident. Yeah, Jason is going to cover it.

252
00:13:24,639 --> 00:13:30,559
This is the theme song from Scrambled Eggs All Over

253
00:13:30,679 --> 00:13:34,039
My Faith. Toss salads and scrambled eggs. It doesn't make

254
00:13:34,039 --> 00:13:34,559
any sense.

255
00:13:34,759 --> 00:13:36,559
Speaker 2: Scrambled eggs all over my face.

256
00:13:36,960 --> 00:13:39,399
Speaker 1: Kelsey Grammar singing the lyrics on the outro. It's a

257
00:13:39,399 --> 00:13:41,080
great song both at the beginning and the end, but

258
00:13:41,200 --> 00:13:43,159
definitely the end is the more memorable.

259
00:13:43,679 --> 00:13:45,720
Speaker 2: Yeah, I think it's fun that Kelsey Grammer is the

260
00:13:45,759 --> 00:13:47,279
actual actor singer.

261
00:13:47,480 --> 00:13:48,600
Speaker 1: Yes, makes it fun.

262
00:13:48,679 --> 00:13:51,279
Speaker 2: By the way, I think somebody should start a Fraser podcast.

263
00:13:51,960 --> 00:13:55,080
Speaker 1: I think that's a terrible idea. We are on to

264
00:13:55,200 --> 00:13:59,000
my number three. Okay. Now, the composer on this one

265
00:13:59,360 --> 00:14:04,000
is a guy who had a brief touch on composing

266
00:14:04,440 --> 00:14:09,399
music for movies in nineteen eighty with this extremely weird

267
00:14:09,600 --> 00:14:14,000
movie called Forbidden Zone. Okay, and we've talked about him before,

268
00:14:14,200 --> 00:14:17,399
but his big break didn't come until five years later,

269
00:14:17,639 --> 00:14:21,440
whenever he teamed up with a director that we've covered

270
00:14:22,120 --> 00:14:27,279
and an actor that just passed away for Peewee's Big Adventure.

271
00:14:27,600 --> 00:14:30,360
Speaker 2: Allow me to get my number five favor out.

272
00:14:31,559 --> 00:14:33,679
Speaker 1: I wanted to give you those tidbits before we jump

273
00:14:33,759 --> 00:14:35,200
back the.

274
00:14:35,159 --> 00:14:38,000
Speaker 2: Actor who just passed away, of course, Paul Rubbins. This

275
00:14:38,039 --> 00:14:41,480
is Danny Elfman and the Zoom Suites.

276
00:14:56,279 --> 00:14:56,600
Speaker 4: Yeah.

277
00:14:56,639 --> 00:14:59,399
Speaker 1: So, as you mentioned when you talked about your number five,

278
00:14:59,759 --> 00:15:03,399
this by Danny Elfman, who was a weird rocker in

279
00:15:03,440 --> 00:15:05,919
a group with his brother back in the seventies. Right,

280
00:15:06,120 --> 00:15:08,559
showed a group that appeared on the Gong Show of

281
00:15:08,600 --> 00:15:11,559
all things, and I think probably got gonged. They were bizarre.

282
00:15:11,600 --> 00:15:15,399
They were bizarre. But then he becomes a film composer,

283
00:15:15,679 --> 00:15:20,440
does Peewee's Big Adventure, Then, of course does Batman eighty nine.

284
00:15:20,679 --> 00:15:23,679
I mean, throw Beetlejuice in there, and you've got the

285
00:15:23,720 --> 00:15:26,279
makings of one of the greatest film composers of all time.

286
00:15:26,480 --> 00:15:27,120
So listen to this.

287
00:15:27,240 --> 00:15:30,320
Speaker 2: I did a episode with Jeff Johnson. It's a Patrion

288
00:15:30,360 --> 00:15:33,519
episode on the movie Wisdom, which starred a Milio Estevez

289
00:15:33,759 --> 00:15:34,600
and Demi Moore.

290
00:15:34,600 --> 00:15:36,799
Speaker 1: It's kind of a little known movie from nineteen eighty six.

291
00:15:36,960 --> 00:15:41,279
Speaker 2: Okay, Danny Elfman composed the music for that movie. When

292
00:15:41,279 --> 00:15:44,720
I dove into Danny Elfman for that episode, his big

293
00:15:44,759 --> 00:15:47,320
break comes when Tim Burton selects him to do Pee's

294
00:15:47,320 --> 00:15:50,720
Big Adventure, right, and it's so stylistic it really sets

295
00:15:50,759 --> 00:15:53,519
the tone for the goofiness and the weirdness of that movie.

296
00:15:53,559 --> 00:15:56,879
He almost didn't accept the job because he's like, why me,

297
00:15:57,159 --> 00:16:00,960
I'm in this goofy, weird off the wall bando Boingo

298
00:16:00,960 --> 00:16:04,159
By the way, why would you think that I could

299
00:16:04,159 --> 00:16:07,200
compose a score for a movie? And Tim Burton, to

300
00:16:07,279 --> 00:16:10,120
his credit, saw his genius and said, well, you just

301
00:16:10,200 --> 00:16:11,279
have such a style.

302
00:16:11,559 --> 00:16:13,159
Speaker 1: I think you can do it. If you go back

303
00:16:13,200 --> 00:16:16,120
and listen to some of the old Oingo Boingo music,

304
00:16:16,279 --> 00:16:19,639
there are some that's they are specifically styling it to

305
00:16:19,720 --> 00:16:22,720
sound like a circus. And if you think circus when

306
00:16:22,759 --> 00:16:26,679
you listen to Danny Elfman's early works, you're like, oh,

307
00:16:26,759 --> 00:16:30,200
let's see what Tim Burton will see. Yes. So, the

308
00:16:30,200 --> 00:16:34,759
theme for The Simpsons one of the most recognizable themes

309
00:16:34,799 --> 00:16:39,159
in television history. It won the National Music Award for

310
00:16:39,399 --> 00:16:42,320
Favorite TV Theme in two thousand and two. It's been

311
00:16:42,360 --> 00:16:46,759
nominated at least three times for Emmy's and Danny says

312
00:16:46,759 --> 00:16:49,039
that of all of the music that he has done,

313
00:16:49,360 --> 00:16:52,320
this is the most popular of his career. Yeah, this

314
00:16:52,440 --> 00:16:53,279
was my number five.

315
00:16:53,720 --> 00:16:58,360
Speaker 2: You know this song has been covered by Green Day, Weezer,

316
00:16:58,639 --> 00:17:00,639
and Hans Zimmer, of all people.

317
00:17:00,840 --> 00:17:03,480
Speaker 1: Well, okay, that's interesting. How about that. I'd like to

318
00:17:03,519 --> 00:17:06,519
hear Hans Zimmer's version. That's fantastic. I've been going for

319
00:17:06,519 --> 00:17:08,880
a long time, man. Yeah. It took me from high

320
00:17:08,880 --> 00:17:12,160
school and is still going, still going. It's incredible.

321
00:17:12,240 --> 00:17:14,240
Speaker 2: So we are to my number two.

322
00:17:16,440 --> 00:17:16,920
Speaker 4: Two.

323
00:17:17,359 --> 00:17:18,920
Speaker 2: Okay, d this is where I'm going to ask you

324
00:17:18,960 --> 00:17:20,960
to bend the rules for me a little bit. Okay,

325
00:17:21,079 --> 00:17:25,920
So this song was not composed specifically for this show. However,

326
00:17:26,079 --> 00:17:28,680
I'm going to lay myself on the mercy of the

327
00:17:28,720 --> 00:17:31,799
court here because it was so regional and so specific

328
00:17:31,880 --> 00:17:35,720
to one city, it was completely unknown to me. This

329
00:17:35,880 --> 00:17:38,920
song was written by Ian Hunter. It's from his album

330
00:17:39,119 --> 00:17:42,920
You're Never Alone with the Schizophrenic. This song became really

331
00:17:42,960 --> 00:17:46,039
associated with one particular city, much like Heart of Rock

332
00:17:46,079 --> 00:17:50,039
and Roll from Huey Lewis right, this city took a

333
00:17:50,039 --> 00:17:52,440
lot of jabs and was put down a lot, and

334
00:17:52,480 --> 00:17:54,720
he's like, you know what, this city's cool, man. The

335
00:17:54,799 --> 00:17:59,079
city's really got a lot of character. In fact, Cleveland rocks.

336
00:17:59,640 --> 00:18:02,960
Speaker 1: I knew song, but I don't. I can't remember the show. Okay,

337
00:18:03,079 --> 00:18:04,759
so before I tell you the show.

338
00:18:04,920 --> 00:18:08,039
Speaker 2: Yeah, this song was played every Friday at five pm

339
00:18:08,119 --> 00:18:12,279
from a particular radio station WMMS in Cleveland, and it

340
00:18:12,319 --> 00:18:16,200
became so ingrained in Cleveland culture that Ian Hunter got

341
00:18:16,200 --> 00:18:19,799
a key to the city in nineteen seventy nine. Okay, okay,

342
00:18:19,960 --> 00:18:23,079
the song goes to the Drew Carey show.

343
00:18:23,880 --> 00:18:25,640
Speaker 3: Oh the senergy come on me.

344
00:18:28,119 --> 00:18:33,559
Speaker 1: From Okay, you know what. I watched the show. I

345
00:18:33,599 --> 00:18:43,880
watched it frequently. Yeah, yes, James. And now that we

346
00:18:43,920 --> 00:18:46,720
play the theme, I'm like, yes, okay, I know that theme.

347
00:18:46,759 --> 00:18:50,079
But again, it is so far back, it's so far gone.

348
00:18:50,279 --> 00:18:52,839
It's not one that's being syndicated. I mean he's doing

349
00:18:52,839 --> 00:18:54,920
the prices right for Gonnassist. Your price is ride and

350
00:18:54,920 --> 00:19:02,160
whose line is it? Anyway? Right? Right? Well done, Thank

351
00:19:02,200 --> 00:19:04,799
you for bringing back an old hit. I love it.

352
00:19:04,839 --> 00:19:07,519
So we're two year number two d okay. My Number

353
00:19:07,720 --> 00:19:13,400
two ran from nineteen ninety three to two thousand and two,

354
00:19:13,559 --> 00:19:17,480
nine seasons, and then a tenth season came out in

355
00:19:17,519 --> 00:19:22,200
twenty sixteen and eleventh season came out in twenty eighteen.

356
00:19:22,839 --> 00:19:28,039
It spawned two feature films and features the whistling of

357
00:19:28,119 --> 00:19:30,039
the composer's wife.

358
00:19:29,759 --> 00:19:33,799
Speaker 2: Allow me to pull out my honorable mention, this is

359
00:19:34,599 --> 00:19:38,839
the X Files.

360
00:19:44,119 --> 00:19:46,559
Speaker 1: Yes, so this came up on your honorable mentions from

361
00:19:46,599 --> 00:19:50,519
our last episode. As you noted, the song's title is

362
00:19:50,640 --> 00:19:54,359
actually Materia primorris at least that's what they put it

363
00:19:54,400 --> 00:19:57,000
on the album, but everybody knows it as the X

364
00:19:57,039 --> 00:20:00,559
Files theme. Yes, this hit number one in fro Ants

365
00:20:01,039 --> 00:20:05,480
on the SNEP Singles chart, and as you mentioned last episode,

366
00:20:05,599 --> 00:20:08,240
they were trying to get it. Chris Carter, the creator

367
00:20:08,279 --> 00:20:11,680
of the show, who also created Millennium, which Mark Snow

368
00:20:11,759 --> 00:20:14,720
the composer composed the music for Millennium as well. He's

369
00:20:14,759 --> 00:20:17,039
done a ton of stuff, but those are the two

370
00:20:17,079 --> 00:20:20,680
shows that people really know him for. But Chris Carter

371
00:20:20,839 --> 00:20:23,039
was like, you haven't got it quite right yet, and

372
00:20:23,119 --> 00:20:26,079
in frustration, he just puts his whole arm onto his

373
00:20:26,160 --> 00:20:30,359
keyboard and it creates that echoe effect. It's probably an

374
00:20:30,440 --> 00:20:33,319
arpeggio program in the keyboard that they hadn't didn't even

375
00:20:33,359 --> 00:20:36,400
know it was there. It happens and lightning.

376
00:20:36,079 --> 00:20:38,880
Speaker 2: Strikes mysteriously jumps out of the keyboard.

377
00:20:39,359 --> 00:20:45,599
Speaker 1: I believed you knew what the answer was. It's a

378
00:20:45,640 --> 00:20:46,079
great one.

379
00:20:46,400 --> 00:20:48,960
Speaker 2: I love it, and you know who loves that show,

380
00:20:49,039 --> 00:20:51,920
who is like a mega superfan of The X Files.

381
00:20:51,640 --> 00:20:54,759
Speaker 1: Our friend deaf Dave, probably several of our friends who

382
00:20:54,880 --> 00:20:57,839
just maybe haven't gone quite as deep down the rabbit

383
00:20:57,839 --> 00:21:00,759
hole as deaf Dave has. But yes, we've talked about

384
00:21:00,759 --> 00:21:03,200
the fact that Alex Trebek was on that show in

385
00:21:03,200 --> 00:21:05,880
one of our other episodes, and as soon as we

386
00:21:05,920 --> 00:21:10,079
bring up X Files, our friends go, oh, yes, this, Yeah,

387
00:21:10,119 --> 00:21:12,359
you should know this. I watched the show. I watched

388
00:21:12,359 --> 00:21:14,799
it a bunch, but I did not. I didn't become

389
00:21:14,799 --> 00:21:17,680
a Trekky of the show, but it has that same

390
00:21:17,720 --> 00:21:20,599
type of following as Star Trek and Star Wars. People

391
00:21:20,680 --> 00:21:24,160
go nuts for it, and I thought the movie was fantastic.

392
00:21:24,319 --> 00:21:27,160
Speaker 2: Okay, so we're to our honorable mentions. So my first

393
00:21:27,160 --> 00:21:30,000
honorable mention. This show started in nineteen ninety seven, is

394
00:21:30,039 --> 00:21:35,000
currently running today. The theme song is performed by Primus yep.

395
00:21:35,079 --> 00:21:38,480
Speaker 1: This is also one of my honorable mentions, And as

396
00:21:38,480 --> 00:21:40,279
I was going to tease it up for you, I

397
00:21:40,319 --> 00:21:42,440
was going to say the song played in the first

398
00:21:42,480 --> 00:21:46,839
four seasons as folk rock instrumentation with bass, guitar, trumpets,

399
00:21:46,839 --> 00:21:49,240
and rhythmic drums. It's in the minor key, and it

400
00:21:49,279 --> 00:21:51,759
features a try tone diminished fifth, and I would have

401
00:21:51,799 --> 00:21:53,920
gone on and on like this, and then I would

402
00:21:53,960 --> 00:21:56,559
have said, but you probably know it because a guy

403
00:21:56,599 --> 00:22:01,799
with a muffled face says.

404
00:21:59,160 --> 00:22:04,559
Speaker 2: A bit big girl Hoodie baganas, Oh, yes, this is

405
00:22:04,599 --> 00:22:05,799
the south Park theme.

406
00:22:06,119 --> 00:22:09,000
Speaker 3: I'm going down South, I'm going hand myself time.

407
00:22:13,279 --> 00:22:15,640
Speaker 2: I wouldn't have known any of that crap, except I

408
00:22:15,640 --> 00:22:19,400
would have known the muffled voice of Kenny.

409
00:22:20,039 --> 00:22:22,319
Speaker 1: I'm South. I'm going to see if I can't whine.

410
00:22:26,680 --> 00:22:30,480
Fantastic show. Fantastic opening theme by the band who also

411
00:22:30,519 --> 00:22:34,319
brought us Why known as Big Brown Beaver Perfect. They

412
00:22:34,359 --> 00:22:37,920
actually sped the music up this. Originally the song was

413
00:22:38,000 --> 00:22:41,519
a slower song, but it was so long that Comedy Central,

414
00:22:41,559 --> 00:22:43,920
by the way Fox and them had it out, like

415
00:22:43,960 --> 00:22:46,559
they couldn't reach a deal. You know why, mister Hanky

416
00:22:46,640 --> 00:22:49,079
the singing pooh. Fox was like, we are not going

417
00:22:49,119 --> 00:22:52,880
to have singing shit on our show, and they said,

418
00:22:52,880 --> 00:22:57,559
well then we're gonna go somewhere else. They're crazy history

419
00:22:57,599 --> 00:22:59,480
We've got to cover at some point. I think that

420
00:22:59,599 --> 00:23:02,599
south Park, Bigger, Longer, and uncut maybe the best musical

421
00:23:02,720 --> 00:23:04,720
law of all time. One quick thing.

422
00:23:04,759 --> 00:23:07,200
Speaker 2: I want to mention on Trey Parker and Mattstone. Yeah,

423
00:23:07,240 --> 00:23:10,720
the creators of South Park. They met in film school

424
00:23:10,720 --> 00:23:12,920
I believe at the University of Colorado, found out that

425
00:23:12,960 --> 00:23:16,519
they both really like Monty Python. They won some awards

426
00:23:16,559 --> 00:23:19,559
because they had stupid little cutouts and that they did

427
00:23:19,559 --> 00:23:24,119
stop motion with and it blossomed into this mega nuclear bomb.

428
00:23:24,319 --> 00:23:29,599
Speaker 1: It went viral. The Meaning of Christmas featuring a wrestling

429
00:23:29,680 --> 00:23:34,440
fighting match between Jesus and Santa Claus. The interesting thing

430
00:23:34,519 --> 00:23:35,079
to me here.

431
00:23:35,160 --> 00:23:38,480
Speaker 2: Recently they have purchased Casabanita in Denver.

432
00:23:38,680 --> 00:23:42,279
Speaker 1: Okay, if you're unfamiliar, it's gigantic. I mean it's got

433
00:23:42,319 --> 00:23:44,960
to be tens of thousands of square feet. It's humongous,

434
00:23:45,000 --> 00:23:46,200
and it's just a restaurant.

435
00:23:46,319 --> 00:23:46,519
Speaker 3: Yep.

436
00:23:46,599 --> 00:23:49,279
Speaker 2: And while you're eating your tacos, you watch. You know,

437
00:23:49,319 --> 00:23:52,960
they have like a three story waterfall and Gorilla's running around.

438
00:23:53,039 --> 00:23:53,319
Speaker 1: Jason.

439
00:23:53,720 --> 00:23:56,559
Speaker 2: You know, it's a must stop when you're in Denver.

440
00:23:56,640 --> 00:23:58,960
Speaker 1: All right. My second honorable mention, Yes.

441
00:23:58,720 --> 00:24:00,440
Speaker 2: All right, I'm gonna lose some crewdit on this one.

442
00:24:00,480 --> 00:24:03,279
I think this theme song is from a TV show

443
00:24:03,720 --> 00:24:06,839
that has the actress. It was in this TV show.

444
00:24:06,920 --> 00:24:09,720
She was also in Batman Begins, and she's also for

445
00:24:09,839 --> 00:24:13,039
a time was married to one of the biggest movie stars.

446
00:24:12,799 --> 00:24:21,519
Speaker 1: Of all time. So this is Dawson's Creek. Yes, this

447
00:24:21,599 --> 00:24:23,720
is Dawson's Creek. You got it. I had to do

448
00:24:23,759 --> 00:24:28,440
the math like I'm working backwards here. Okay, all right, okay,

449
00:24:28,559 --> 00:24:28,920
got it.

450
00:24:29,240 --> 00:24:32,079
Speaker 2: Katie Holmes was of course married to Tom Cruise. Now then,

451
00:24:32,519 --> 00:24:35,519
the theme song for Dawson's Creek was written and performed

452
00:24:35,519 --> 00:24:38,920
by Paula Cole. She wrote this song about her grandfather

453
00:24:39,279 --> 00:24:40,400
at the end of his life.

454
00:24:40,839 --> 00:24:42,720
Speaker 1: Wow. He was talking to her about all.

455
00:24:42,599 --> 00:24:45,920
Speaker 2: The mistakes that he made he didn't want her to make,

456
00:24:46,200 --> 00:24:49,240
and she embraced that ideology and said, you know what,

457
00:24:49,400 --> 00:24:50,119
I want to live.

458
00:24:50,400 --> 00:24:52,480
Speaker 1: I want to live like nobody else. I don't want

459
00:24:52,480 --> 00:24:54,240
to wait. Love it, Love it man.

460
00:24:54,359 --> 00:24:57,599
Speaker 2: This song reached number ten on the Hot One and

461
00:24:57,680 --> 00:24:59,759
it is a I don't know. It's kind of a

462
00:24:59,759 --> 00:25:10,799
great little makeout song for the late nineteen nineties. Long

463
00:25:17,240 --> 00:25:18,880
We're creeping towards our number one.

464
00:25:18,920 --> 00:25:21,680
Speaker 1: And I'm very concerned that it's the same song. Oh,

465
00:25:21,759 --> 00:25:25,240
I have no doubt, Okay, I have literally no doubt. Okay.

466
00:25:25,279 --> 00:25:26,880
The fact that it hasn't come up means that it

467
00:25:26,960 --> 00:25:29,839
must be it must be okay, right, so you get

468
00:25:29,839 --> 00:25:32,359
to do a slide in here. Since you took one

469
00:25:32,400 --> 00:25:34,240
of my honorable mentions, that means I get to put

470
00:25:34,279 --> 00:25:37,160
another one back. Sure so, great, good job, glad we

471
00:25:37,200 --> 00:25:39,279
both had south Park, But now south Park's out of

472
00:25:39,279 --> 00:25:44,039
my honorable mentions. Sure sure so. First on my honorable

473
00:25:44,119 --> 00:25:48,480
mentions is a song that you guessed earlier. It is

474
00:25:48,680 --> 00:25:53,119
very similar. It is involves the characters Warner Brothers and

475
00:25:53,200 --> 00:25:57,680
their little brother Dot. And this song followed the show

476
00:25:57,839 --> 00:26:02,359
Tiny Tunes and has the again very similar style of

477
00:26:02,559 --> 00:26:05,920
music created for the show and has the line we

478
00:26:06,000 --> 00:26:11,039
have bologney in our sacks. This is an MANIAX you

479
00:26:11,119 --> 00:26:22,519
got it? Yes, it's time thought and here comes the

480
00:26:22,559 --> 00:26:24,720
title of the show. It's the Sureley you Can't Be

481
00:26:24,799 --> 00:26:29,240
Serious podcast. Yeah, this is a fantastic song. It's very catchy.

482
00:26:29,440 --> 00:26:32,559
I will sing it. And this show also had a

483
00:26:32,640 --> 00:26:35,920
wonderful song that was the President's of the United States.

484
00:26:36,240 --> 00:26:36,720
Love it.

485
00:26:36,720 --> 00:26:37,160
Speaker 2: It's great.

486
00:26:37,200 --> 00:26:37,400
Speaker 1: Man.

487
00:26:37,559 --> 00:26:41,160
Speaker 2: I had a friend in college, so imagine we're all

488
00:26:41,200 --> 00:26:44,640
watching you know, the Real World and the Jerry Springer show,

489
00:26:44,880 --> 00:26:46,839
you know that type of thing in college, and he's

490
00:26:46,880 --> 00:26:49,160
watching Animax like a like a fool.

491
00:26:49,200 --> 00:26:53,160
Speaker 1: He loved Animax. It's hysterical, it is. It is just

492
00:26:53,319 --> 00:26:55,720
like the Looney Tunes where they've got the adult humor

493
00:26:55,839 --> 00:26:58,400
in with the little kid cartoons. It is a well

494
00:26:58,440 --> 00:27:00,160
known show. And by the way, that one all So

495
00:27:00,319 --> 00:27:03,839
got rereleased recently, did it? Yeah, they re upped the

496
00:27:03,880 --> 00:27:05,720
show I guess if you will and for the twenty

497
00:27:05,720 --> 00:27:06,319
first century.

498
00:27:06,359 --> 00:27:06,599
Speaker 3: Great.

499
00:27:06,720 --> 00:27:11,599
Speaker 1: Okay, Now my other honorable mention again has the guy

500
00:27:12,079 --> 00:27:15,640
that played the harmonica in my number five from last

501
00:27:15,799 --> 00:27:19,240
episode the Roseanne Show. He also played the harmonica on

502
00:27:19,319 --> 00:27:22,519
this song. It was composed by the same guy who

503
00:27:22,599 --> 00:27:26,200
is the son of the attorney that I worked for

504
00:27:26,240 --> 00:27:29,519
when I first started practicing laws. Crazy. It is by

505
00:27:29,599 --> 00:27:33,640
Dan Follyer and this music I can't put my finger

506
00:27:33,720 --> 00:27:38,000
on what it is. They have a combination of a

507
00:27:38,119 --> 00:27:43,000
jazzy guitar DJ jazzy Jeff beat and like a flute

508
00:27:43,000 --> 00:27:45,400
from Jethro Tull. You want to hear it? Yeah, there

509
00:27:45,440 --> 00:27:48,319
are no lyrics, but there is voice and it comes

510
00:27:48,359 --> 00:27:52,279
from the bit by the main character in the show.

511
00:27:52,440 --> 00:27:55,359
Speaker 2: There's no lyrics, but there's a voice.

512
00:27:54,880 --> 00:28:08,039
Speaker 1: You know what I mean? Okay, you ready? You got

513
00:28:08,079 --> 00:28:09,640
it the lyrics.

514
00:28:09,880 --> 00:28:12,640
Speaker 2: Yes, you're absolutely right, this is Home Improvement.

515
00:28:12,920 --> 00:28:13,119
Speaker 4: Yeah.

516
00:28:13,480 --> 00:28:16,559
Speaker 2: Great, So obviously that's Tim Allen. Yes, who does the

517
00:28:16,640 --> 00:28:18,279
voice of Buzz Lightyear.

518
00:28:17,960 --> 00:28:20,559
Speaker 1: Who Infinity and be All that's awesome. Yeah.

519
00:28:21,000 --> 00:28:23,000
Speaker 2: I've run into a lot of people who don't understand

520
00:28:23,000 --> 00:28:24,759
that the name of the show is actually Home Improvement.

521
00:28:24,759 --> 00:28:26,559
Speaker 1: They call it tool Time. Right, you know that was

522
00:28:26,599 --> 00:28:28,000
his show on the show, right.

523
00:28:28,000 --> 00:28:31,079
Speaker 2: Yeah, funny show, great show, love that show. Okay, we

524
00:28:31,240 --> 00:28:33,440
ready for our shared number one.

525
00:28:33,480 --> 00:28:36,000
Speaker 1: Here we go. There's no question about what this can

526
00:28:36,039 --> 00:28:43,000
be one. Here's what we're gonna do. Audience. I'm not

527
00:28:43,039 --> 00:28:45,440
gonna I'm not gonna tease up Jason. Okay, he's not

528
00:28:45,440 --> 00:28:48,119
gonna tease up me. If you haven't guessed at this

529
00:28:48,240 --> 00:28:51,400
point what this show is, well I weep for you,

530
00:28:51,480 --> 00:28:55,000
but we'll go ahead and go. All right. So this

531
00:28:55,000 --> 00:28:59,359
this song was composed by a duo, a couple of

532
00:28:59,359 --> 00:29:03,519
guys named Any Wild Yes and Phil Solom. They actually

533
00:29:03,599 --> 00:29:07,519
were together in a power pop quartet back in the

534
00:29:07,599 --> 00:29:12,160
early eighties nineteen eighty one called Great Buildings. They had

535
00:29:12,160 --> 00:29:15,119
one album that came out and then the band dissolved.

536
00:29:15,200 --> 00:29:19,079
They got back together in nineteen ninety eight and named

537
00:29:19,119 --> 00:29:25,119
themselves after a famous Renaissance artist Okay, yep. They released

538
00:29:25,119 --> 00:29:29,079
a self titled album, which they recorded mostly in Danny

539
00:29:29,119 --> 00:29:32,519
Wilde's home studio, but it had a successful song on

540
00:29:32,599 --> 00:29:35,480
it called just the Way It Is Baby, which reached

541
00:29:35,559 --> 00:29:38,319
number fourteen on the Billboard Hot one hundred. The album

542
00:29:38,440 --> 00:29:41,880
reached number eighty eight. Their second album did not do

543
00:29:42,000 --> 00:29:45,240
as well, but they had a song called Rolling down

544
00:29:45,319 --> 00:29:46,799
the Hill. I don't know if this was a comment

545
00:29:46,839 --> 00:29:49,200
on a Kate Bush song or not, but that song

546
00:29:49,319 --> 00:29:52,359
was used in Dumb and Dumber. WHOA It for You here?

547
00:29:59,599 --> 00:30:02,119
Speaker 2: I reckon that song because I've seen Dumb a number

548
00:30:02,160 --> 00:30:03,359
sixteen thousand times.

549
00:30:04,240 --> 00:30:08,559
Speaker 1: So at that point, they've signed with Warner Brothers and

550
00:30:08,640 --> 00:30:13,279
this new show is developing, and the new show originally

551
00:30:13,400 --> 00:30:27,000
wanted the song Shiny Happy People, but Arim.

552
00:30:26,400 --> 00:30:30,640
Speaker 2: Said, Okay, first of all, Ariam is stupid because this

553
00:30:30,759 --> 00:30:34,240
song went and became the show of the nineties and

554
00:30:34,279 --> 00:30:35,319
into the two thousands.

555
00:30:35,319 --> 00:30:35,880
Speaker 1: It's huge.

556
00:30:36,279 --> 00:30:38,680
Speaker 2: It was a starmaking machine for all of these people.

557
00:30:38,839 --> 00:30:40,759
But that song is wrong for this show.

558
00:30:40,920 --> 00:30:43,279
Speaker 1: Shiny Happy People, Yes, yeah, No, I mean you can't.

559
00:30:43,559 --> 00:30:45,519
You can't associate any other song with the show. No,

560
00:30:45,880 --> 00:30:46,920
absolutely not no.

561
00:30:47,240 --> 00:30:47,400
Speaker 4: So.

562
00:30:47,680 --> 00:30:52,880
Speaker 1: This song was composed by Michael Skloff, who was the

563
00:30:52,960 --> 00:30:56,440
husband of one of the show's creators, Marta Kaufman. You

564
00:30:56,440 --> 00:30:59,160
haven't got it yet, You're getting close. I guarantee it right.

565
00:30:59,559 --> 00:31:02,960
The lyrics were written by Marta Kaufman, one of the

566
00:31:02,960 --> 00:31:06,440
show creators, David Crane, another one of the show creators,

567
00:31:07,319 --> 00:31:12,519
and Ali Willis, who helped the group Earthwind and Fire

568
00:31:13,119 --> 00:31:34,920
write the song September Wow, Okay, do you still not

569
00:31:35,000 --> 00:31:36,640
know what it is? Do you still not know, ladies

570
00:31:36,640 --> 00:31:39,920
and gentlemen if you don't know, the name of the

571
00:31:40,000 --> 00:31:43,839
group is the Rembrands, And the reason that they recorded

572
00:31:43,839 --> 00:31:47,480
this song is because they were the only band on

573
00:31:47,640 --> 00:31:52,680
Warner Brothers Records who was available to record it. This song, Jason,

574
00:31:52,880 --> 00:31:54,079
you introduced.

575
00:31:53,759 --> 00:31:57,559
Speaker 2: This song is called I'll Be There for You by the.

576
00:31:57,559 --> 00:32:05,119
Speaker 4: Woman Want That was going to be this way, Johnson,

577
00:32:05,799 --> 00:32:08,119
keep not bastyr way.

578
00:32:09,559 --> 00:32:12,160
Speaker 1: It's like yours stuck in second.

579
00:32:14,200 --> 00:32:18,039
Speaker 4: It hasn't been your day, youth? Have you been going?

580
00:32:18,759 --> 00:32:27,960
Everybody there, there.

581
00:32:26,839 --> 00:32:28,559
Speaker 1: Had to be no question about what the numbers one

582
00:32:28,599 --> 00:32:30,680
song was going to be. We've gone through all of

583
00:32:30,720 --> 00:32:33,880
the years of the nineties. This had to be it. Yeah,

584
00:32:34,200 --> 00:32:37,119
most iconic show, most iconic song.

585
00:32:37,359 --> 00:32:39,640
Speaker 2: With that question, yes, have you seen the music video

586
00:32:39,759 --> 00:32:40,880
in twenty years?

587
00:32:41,000 --> 00:32:42,799
Speaker 1: No, I mean I've seen the intro to the show,

588
00:32:43,160 --> 00:32:46,440
like right weekly for my entire life, exactly, right. So

589
00:32:46,640 --> 00:32:48,119
the show's great. It's funny.

590
00:32:48,319 --> 00:32:48,519
Speaker 3: You know.

591
00:32:48,599 --> 00:32:51,079
Speaker 2: I resisted this show for the first couple of seasons

592
00:32:51,160 --> 00:32:52,960
because it was kind of the hip new show and

593
00:32:53,039 --> 00:32:55,200
kind of you know, our age people, and I was like,

594
00:32:55,359 --> 00:32:55,799
I don't.

595
00:32:55,599 --> 00:32:57,319
Speaker 1: Know, these people are kind of too beautiful for me.

596
00:32:57,519 --> 00:33:00,599
Speaker 2: But the writing I couldn't resist any longer. It's just

597
00:33:00,640 --> 00:33:02,839
so good. It's such a great show. They developed the

598
00:33:02,920 --> 00:33:06,359
characters anyway. I just fell in love with it later.

599
00:33:06,359 --> 00:33:10,000
Speaker 1: For you, again, this is the difference in our time, right, Yeah,

600
00:33:10,079 --> 00:33:13,279
So for you, when this show comes out, you're in

601
00:33:13,359 --> 00:33:16,599
this group, right, You're in the young New professionals. This

602
00:33:16,640 --> 00:33:19,359
show came out the year I graduated from high school.

603
00:33:19,440 --> 00:33:21,160
And I will tell you this and you can cut

604
00:33:21,160 --> 00:33:23,640
it if you'd like to. What prompted me to start

605
00:33:23,640 --> 00:33:27,319
watching this show was one of my friends goes, oh, hey, dude,

606
00:33:27,400 --> 00:33:30,640
let's watch this show with the nipple girl in it.

607
00:33:30,880 --> 00:33:37,039
Because Jennifer Aniston was always cold. God bless her. It was, Yeah,

608
00:33:37,279 --> 00:33:39,880
whatever you need to do to hook me in. Once

609
00:33:39,920 --> 00:33:42,400
I was there, I was like, this show is freaking fantastic.

610
00:33:42,839 --> 00:33:46,119
Speaker 2: Hey, Jennifer Aniston in the late nineties was the it girl.

611
00:33:46,240 --> 00:33:47,799
So here's a couple of things I got for you

612
00:33:47,839 --> 00:33:50,480
on this song. Okay, so you mentioned Michael Scloff. Yes,

613
00:33:50,559 --> 00:33:52,119
he's one of the guys who wrote this song.

614
00:33:52,240 --> 00:33:53,119
Speaker 1: Yeah, wrote the music.

615
00:33:53,279 --> 00:33:57,160
Speaker 2: Yes, he wanted this song to sound like Paperback Writer

616
00:33:57,319 --> 00:33:57,960
by the Beatles.

617
00:33:58,160 --> 00:34:00,599
Speaker 1: I can actually see that, you think, No, Yeah, I

618
00:34:00,599 --> 00:34:01,920
think that's yeah, that's solid.

619
00:34:02,079 --> 00:34:02,240
Speaker 4: Right.

620
00:34:02,400 --> 00:34:04,680
Speaker 2: When the rim Brands recorded the song, they had a

621
00:34:04,720 --> 00:34:07,480
one minute version of it, and it became so huge

622
00:34:07,559 --> 00:34:09,280
they had to go back in the studio.

623
00:34:09,159 --> 00:34:10,840
Speaker 1: And extend the song.

624
00:34:11,119 --> 00:34:13,880
Speaker 2: So they wrote a couple extra verses and create that

625
00:34:13,960 --> 00:34:15,159
three minute version of the song.

626
00:34:15,440 --> 00:34:17,760
Speaker 1: Yeah. Back to the video. Video is super fun.

627
00:34:17,840 --> 00:34:20,000
Speaker 2: You got the rim Brands and they're playing like live

628
00:34:20,280 --> 00:34:22,639
and here comes the cast of Friends and they're stealing

629
00:34:22,679 --> 00:34:25,480
their sunglasses and they're kind of taking over their instruments.

630
00:34:25,599 --> 00:34:27,559
The rim Brands are trying to play the song and

631
00:34:27,599 --> 00:34:29,079
Courtney Cox takes over the drops.

632
00:34:30,440 --> 00:34:33,400
Speaker 1: Her second video after the one with Bruce Springsteen in

633
00:34:33,480 --> 00:34:36,280
nineteen eighty. That's right, that's right.

634
00:34:36,679 --> 00:34:41,079
Speaker 2: This song is still streamed over ninety six thousand times

635
00:34:41,119 --> 00:34:43,519
a week. Wow, it's incredible.

636
00:34:43,639 --> 00:34:47,480
Speaker 1: It's ear candy, it's catchy, it's hooky, it's everything you

637
00:34:47,559 --> 00:34:51,000
want for a pop song. This is the nineties in

638
00:34:51,039 --> 00:34:53,239
a three minute song. All right, ladies and gentlemen, tell

639
00:34:53,320 --> 00:34:54,800
us what you think. Did we get it right? Did

640
00:34:54,800 --> 00:34:56,840
we get it wrong? We both picked the same song

641
00:34:56,920 --> 00:35:00,119
for the number one spot, So what beats that? I

642
00:35:00,119 --> 00:35:03,360
think I mentioned Seinfeld whenever we were talking about it,

643
00:35:03,400 --> 00:35:06,239
but I don't know that that music really hits the

644
00:35:06,280 --> 00:35:08,559
way that this does. It was probably the second of

645
00:35:08,599 --> 00:35:11,320
the shows of the nineties for me, but it just

646
00:35:11,880 --> 00:35:13,960
it doesn't have the music like all these other shows.

647
00:35:14,039 --> 00:35:17,760
Totally agree. It's not show, it's song. Tell us where

648
00:35:17,760 --> 00:35:19,960
we're wrong, tell us where we're right. Tell us whether

649
00:35:19,960 --> 00:35:22,559
