1
00:00:14,080 --> 00:00:16,160
Speaker 1: Hello everybody, and welcome back to the Shirley You Can't

2
00:00:16,199 --> 00:00:19,039
Be Serious podcast. If you did not hear are Huey

3
00:00:19,120 --> 00:00:21,640
Lewis Part one, push pause right here and go back

4
00:00:21,679 --> 00:00:23,800
to listen to that previous episode. This one, we're going

5
00:00:23,839 --> 00:00:26,239
to go track my track through Sports. What I think

6
00:00:26,320 --> 00:00:27,160
is their best album.

7
00:00:27,359 --> 00:00:30,679
Speaker 2: I cannot begin to describe to you how excited I

8
00:00:30,719 --> 00:00:33,240
am about this. I said it last episode. This is

9
00:00:33,439 --> 00:00:36,640
like you've gone to your class reunion and you see

10
00:00:36,679 --> 00:00:40,280
the girl you used to date and she's still hot,

11
00:00:41,439 --> 00:00:44,479
and you're like, wow, how did I mess that thing up?

12
00:00:44,679 --> 00:00:48,799
But that's the power of bluff. Nice.

13
00:00:49,479 --> 00:00:50,479
Speaker 3: Thanks, that's good Sid.

14
00:00:51,119 --> 00:00:55,799
Speaker 1: But Huey Lewis and The News released Sports on September

15
00:00:55,840 --> 00:00:58,759
fifteenth of nineteen eighty three. We talked last week how

16
00:00:58,920 --> 00:01:02,119
it was one of five albums that reached the number

17
00:01:02,119 --> 00:01:05,959
one spot in nineteen eighty four. Super Steep competition that.

18
00:01:05,959 --> 00:01:08,680
Speaker 2: Year, Yeah, super Steep competition. And these guys held their

19
00:01:08,719 --> 00:01:11,519
own as a band. I mean, all of these guys

20
00:01:11,560 --> 00:01:14,239
had played the club circuit, had been going for years

21
00:01:14,280 --> 00:01:18,359
and years and never made it until this album. And

22
00:01:18,400 --> 00:01:21,040
then when they make it and they are successful, they

23
00:01:21,040 --> 00:01:24,400
get criticized for their success. They're like, oh it's popular,

24
00:01:24,480 --> 00:01:27,959
you know, it's uninspiring. And so this is the phrase

25
00:01:28,000 --> 00:01:31,439
that I love that he said. Huels said, Nowhere is

26
00:01:31,480 --> 00:01:34,159
it written that rock and roll has to be political

27
00:01:34,319 --> 00:01:37,040
or change the world. One thing rock and roll has

28
00:01:37,079 --> 00:01:40,359
to be is true and if it rings true, it's right,

29
00:01:40,560 --> 00:01:43,439
and that is this freaking album. Yes, front to back

30
00:01:43,519 --> 00:01:46,560
love it. Okay, before we dive in track by track, Okay,

31
00:01:46,599 --> 00:01:49,799
I have to address the elephant in the room American psycho.

32
00:01:50,920 --> 00:01:52,000
Speaker 1: Okay, let's do it.

33
00:01:52,319 --> 00:01:55,480
Speaker 2: Okay, before we get going, I just want to point

34
00:01:55,519 --> 00:01:58,239
something out. We have been talking to each other now

35
00:01:58,319 --> 00:02:02,519
for a couple of years, face to face, and one

36
00:02:02,519 --> 00:02:04,280
of the reasons that I can do that is because

37
00:02:04,319 --> 00:02:07,239
you don't have nose hair. Have you been talking to

38
00:02:07,239 --> 00:02:09,360
people and like you can't even concentrate on what they're

39
00:02:09,360 --> 00:02:10,360
saying because of their nose hair.

40
00:02:10,439 --> 00:02:11,800
Speaker 1: Absolutely, they like tuck to you.

41
00:02:11,879 --> 00:02:14,439
Speaker 2: They it dangles, yes, it wiggles.

42
00:02:14,080 --> 00:02:15,759
Speaker 4: It's it's a total distraction.

43
00:02:16,000 --> 00:02:17,960
Speaker 2: Absolutely, And so let me let me say, if you

44
00:02:18,000 --> 00:02:20,039
are one of those guys, we have a product that

45
00:02:20,159 --> 00:02:22,400
is supporting the podcast that you need to check out

46
00:02:22,680 --> 00:02:25,919
is called the weed Whacker, and it is from Manscape.

47
00:02:26,240 --> 00:02:28,800
Speaker 1: It is an amazing product. It trims your nose hair.

48
00:02:28,840 --> 00:02:31,039
It's not embarrassing. You just stick it up there. It

49
00:02:31,039 --> 00:02:31,639
takes care of it.

50
00:02:31,719 --> 00:02:32,919
Speaker 4: You're not gonna look at people and.

51
00:02:32,879 --> 00:02:34,800
Speaker 2: Bother them, right, And I'm one of those guys who's

52
00:02:34,840 --> 00:02:37,319
self conscious about my nose hair. So somebody that you're

53
00:02:37,319 --> 00:02:38,879
gonna see me and I'm gonna be like yanking them

54
00:02:38,879 --> 00:02:41,479
out and wincing in pain, don't do that. There is

55
00:02:41,520 --> 00:02:44,080
a special thing that they make and they've also just

56
00:02:44,199 --> 00:02:47,000
released in addition to the weed whacker, they have just

57
00:02:47,039 --> 00:02:50,400
released something called the lawnmower. If you have other areas

58
00:02:50,439 --> 00:02:52,479
of your body that you're looking to trim up. And

59
00:02:52,520 --> 00:02:54,759
I'd like to point out that a giraffe is easier

60
00:02:54,800 --> 00:02:57,879
to see in the planes than it is in the forests.

61
00:02:57,960 --> 00:02:58,639
That's wonderful.

62
00:02:58,800 --> 00:02:59,919
Speaker 4: Yes, yes it is.

63
00:03:01,000 --> 00:03:03,120
Speaker 1: It's very good around sensitive areas, if you know what

64
00:03:03,120 --> 00:03:03,479
I'm saying.

65
00:03:03,560 --> 00:03:06,479
Speaker 2: Yeah. They have also an entire shavekit called the Ultra

66
00:03:06,680 --> 00:03:12,280
Smooth Package package. You get the idea.

67
00:03:12,400 --> 00:03:14,759
Speaker 4: So who doesn't want their package ultra smooth?

68
00:03:15,000 --> 00:03:19,240

72
00:03:32,919 --> 00:03:36,039
Speaker 2: So you sent me a video which is fantastic, and

73
00:03:36,159 --> 00:03:38,120
I really kind of want to play a clip from

74
00:03:38,159 --> 00:03:40,919
it right now, But before I do, I'm going to say,

75
00:03:41,000 --> 00:03:43,800
if you have not seen American Psycho, there is a

76
00:03:44,080 --> 00:03:46,639
very well known part that whenever we talk about hue

77
00:03:46,719 --> 00:03:49,960
Lewis on our Facebook page, somebody invariably quote, we're going

78
00:03:50,000 --> 00:03:52,840
to hear a scene, right, So here's the scene from

79
00:03:52,879 --> 00:03:56,159
American Psycho. You like Huey Lewis on the news. Their

80
00:03:56,199 --> 00:03:59,719
early work was a little too a wave for my taste.

81
00:04:00,479 --> 00:04:03,199
When Sports came out in eighty three, I think that

82
00:04:03,280 --> 00:04:06,479
really came into their own commercially and artistically. The whole

83
00:04:06,520 --> 00:04:09,400
album has a clear, crisp sound and a new sine

84
00:04:09,479 --> 00:04:13,840
of consummate professionalism that really gives the songs a big booze.

85
00:04:14,199 --> 00:04:17,240
He's been compared to Elvis Costello, but I think Huey

86
00:04:17,279 --> 00:04:20,720
has a far more bitter, cynical sense of humor. And

87
00:04:20,800 --> 00:04:24,560
then this is so beautiful. Here's the scene that Huey

88
00:04:24,639 --> 00:04:30,079
Lewis did with our hero of all heroes, mister weirdol Yankovic.

89
00:04:30,560 --> 00:04:32,800
That is a parody of that scene, Do.

90
00:04:32,800 --> 00:04:33,959
Speaker 1: You Like American Psycho.

91
00:04:34,720 --> 00:04:38,680
Speaker 6: Although originally polarizing to audiences and critics alike, it developed

92
00:04:38,720 --> 00:04:41,839
a much deserved cult following when released on digital video

93
00:04:41,879 --> 00:04:45,240
disc or DVD. There it found a second life and

94
00:04:45,319 --> 00:04:48,720
really came into its own commercially and artistically. The movie

95
00:04:48,759 --> 00:04:52,040
works both as a grim examination of male vanity while

96
00:04:52,079 --> 00:04:56,759
also maintaining real genre thrills, justifying these total shifts by

97
00:04:56,759 --> 00:04:59,720
placing the audience inside the head of the duplicious leagu

98
00:05:00,480 --> 00:05:03,920
Christian Bale's dynamite performance, it gives it a big boost.

99
00:05:03,720 --> 00:05:05,120
Speaker 2: But the role almost went to Leo.

100
00:05:05,199 --> 00:05:07,920
Speaker 6: But nobody could have brought that certain athos and charisma

101
00:05:08,000 --> 00:05:10,319
to it quite like Bail, a role he later recalled

102
00:05:10,319 --> 00:05:12,920
a shade of in Christopher Nolan's Batman Pictures.

103
00:05:13,439 --> 00:05:18,759
Speaker 1: Brilliant, I love it, brilliant, I love it.

104
00:05:17,240 --> 00:05:21,959
Speaker 2: So you kind of get the impression from the way

105
00:05:22,000 --> 00:05:24,519
the movie goes is that they're kind of mocking Huey

106
00:05:24,600 --> 00:05:26,560
Lewis in the news. He gave him permission to use

107
00:05:26,560 --> 00:05:27,759
the song, right.

108
00:05:28,240 --> 00:05:31,000
Speaker 4: And he listens to what he says and he's like, he's.

109
00:05:30,879 --> 00:05:32,160
Speaker 5: Right, He's absolutely right.

110
00:05:32,240 --> 00:05:35,800
Speaker 2: We were kind of in our new wave phase. Now. Interestingly,

111
00:05:35,879 --> 00:05:39,480
the song doesn't appear on the American Psycho soundtrack. They

112
00:05:39,519 --> 00:05:42,279
asked him to do it, and he was like, okay, sure,

113
00:05:42,319 --> 00:05:43,519
what other songs are going to be in there? And

114
00:05:43,519 --> 00:05:45,279
of course they put the Phil Collins song, which he

115
00:05:45,399 --> 00:05:48,120
basically goes through the same bit with the Phil Collins song, right,

116
00:05:48,199 --> 00:05:50,079
and he's like and and he goes, well, just in

117
00:05:50,160 --> 00:05:53,319
the soundtrack, he's like, so two rock songs and then

118
00:05:53,639 --> 00:05:56,279
orchestral music, right, and like yeah, and he goes, I

119
00:05:56,319 --> 00:05:58,720
don't really feel like that's thing. Can you just kind

120
00:05:58,720 --> 00:06:01,120
of politely say no, thank I don't really think that

121
00:06:01,279 --> 00:06:02,959
our fans are going to go about and buy an

122
00:06:02,959 --> 00:06:06,560
album for one song. Doesn't really that song was hit

123
00:06:06,600 --> 00:06:09,560
to be square right, right? Yes? And so when the

124
00:06:09,560 --> 00:06:12,199
album comes out, of course all the news media says

125
00:06:12,680 --> 00:06:15,560
Huey Lewis pulls track off the album because movie is

126
00:06:15,600 --> 00:06:19,000
too violent? Right right, I've digressed. Let's get back to

127
00:06:19,040 --> 00:06:21,519
the album. Before we start talking songs, Let's talk about

128
00:06:21,560 --> 00:06:24,560
cover art. We talked about how awesome Bruce Springsteen's cover,

129
00:06:24,639 --> 00:06:29,399
how iconic that is. Huey Lewis's cover. The album Sports

130
00:06:29,399 --> 00:06:30,839
has got a pretty iconic cover too.

131
00:06:31,000 --> 00:06:32,839
Speaker 1: I mean when I see it, I recognize the right away.

132
00:06:32,839 --> 00:06:35,959
Speaker 2: Sports. Yeah, he said on the day that they shot this,

133
00:06:36,600 --> 00:06:39,399
the guy who shot the pictures, his name is Bennett Hall,

134
00:06:39,480 --> 00:06:41,000
and he's done several other albums.

135
00:06:41,000 --> 00:06:43,279
Speaker 4: But he said, I was really hung over.

136
00:06:43,279 --> 00:06:47,839
Speaker 1: That very well known Hue was dying that day.

137
00:06:47,839 --> 00:06:50,240
Speaker 2: From a hangover. Yeah. Could you imagine that your most

138
00:06:50,279 --> 00:06:52,879
well known picture of all pictures that have ever been

139
00:06:52,920 --> 00:06:54,959
taken of you is when you were really.

140
00:06:55,959 --> 00:06:58,240
Speaker 1: He looks pretty cheaper in the picture, though, is Yeah, I.

141
00:06:58,199 --> 00:06:59,519
Speaker 4: Didn't know until he said something.

142
00:06:59,600 --> 00:07:02,600
Speaker 2: So the place that they're at is a club in

143
00:07:02,879 --> 00:07:05,920
Mill Valley, California that they used to play at called

144
00:07:05,959 --> 00:07:09,680
the two Am Club, okay, which the locals affectionately refer

145
00:07:09,800 --> 00:07:13,079
to as the Duce, the Deuce, the Deuce.

146
00:07:13,279 --> 00:07:13,600
Speaker 1: Nice.

147
00:07:13,839 --> 00:07:16,920
Speaker 2: Yeah, Okay, So I've got a small story with the cover. Okay.

148
00:07:17,040 --> 00:07:20,279
Speaker 1: Up in the upper corner of the TV, there's a

149
00:07:20,319 --> 00:07:23,439
football player making a catch. Yeah, okay, that's Dwight Clark

150
00:07:23,519 --> 00:07:26,360
of the San Francisco forty nine Ers, who, as you know,

151
00:07:26,680 --> 00:07:28,759
I'm a Dallas Cowboy fan, and so I'm very aware

152
00:07:28,839 --> 00:07:32,439
of Dwight Clark's catch against the Dallas Cowboys knocking them

153
00:07:32,560 --> 00:07:33,759
out of the Super Bowl.

154
00:07:34,959 --> 00:07:37,879
Speaker 4: And you mean the one where Joe Montana was just

155
00:07:37,879 --> 00:07:38,639
throwing the ball away.

156
00:07:38,800 --> 00:07:41,639
Speaker 5: Yeah, yeah, yeah, that was that.

157
00:07:41,800 --> 00:07:44,279
Speaker 2: Is that your stance given the fact that you're a Cowboys.

158
00:07:43,920 --> 00:07:46,279
Speaker 1: Fan, Well, you know, I don't want to get into

159
00:07:46,319 --> 00:07:49,360
that right now. But Dwight Clark, you know, Joe Montana

160
00:07:49,399 --> 00:07:51,199
to Dwight Clark back at the end zone, he makes

161
00:07:51,240 --> 00:07:53,319
this big catch and it starts the run of the

162
00:07:53,319 --> 00:07:57,319
forty nine ers dominating the eighties. Okay, so the forty

163
00:07:57,399 --> 00:07:59,959
nine ers and here you lose, and news are are.

164
00:08:00,199 --> 00:08:03,639
They're fans of each other, and so they befriend Dwight

165
00:08:03,680 --> 00:08:06,439
Clark and Joe Montana and these guys actually in hip

166
00:08:06,439 --> 00:08:14,319
to be square. The guys are going here, there, and everywhere.

167
00:08:18,560 --> 00:08:19,879
That's Dwight Clark and Joe Montana.

168
00:08:19,959 --> 00:08:20,680
Speaker 2: Get the heck out of it.

169
00:08:20,759 --> 00:08:22,959
Speaker 1: Yeah. I was gonna say that for a four episode,

170
00:08:22,959 --> 00:08:24,920
which I hope to do later on, but we'll cover

171
00:08:24,959 --> 00:08:30,079
that then, toot. Dwight Clark in the later eighties would

172
00:08:30,079 --> 00:08:32,240
give permission for Huey Lewis to be on the sidelines

173
00:08:32,279 --> 00:08:34,440
for the forty nine er game, and Huey Lewis is

174
00:08:34,480 --> 00:08:35,759
down on the sidelines.

175
00:08:35,759 --> 00:08:37,759
Speaker 7: Okay, but Dione.

176
00:08:37,360 --> 00:08:40,440
Speaker 1: Sanders and Jerry Glanville had all mc hammer on the

177
00:08:40,440 --> 00:08:43,240
sidelines and like they'd gotten in trouble and it looked

178
00:08:43,240 --> 00:08:46,159
weird and mc hammer's out on the on the field

179
00:08:46,279 --> 00:08:49,279
high fiving people, and so the NFL said, all right,

180
00:08:49,399 --> 00:08:50,039
no more of that is.

181
00:08:50,000 --> 00:08:51,320
Speaker 4: Why we can't have nice things.

182
00:08:51,919 --> 00:08:55,720
Speaker 1: You guys, Hammer screwed up for everybody, right, and so

183
00:08:56,159 --> 00:08:58,559
and so Dwight Clark's well, here's the deal. I'll give

184
00:08:58,559 --> 00:09:01,360
you a photographer's pass on the sidelines, so you're like

185
00:09:01,399 --> 00:09:04,879
our photographer team photographer. So Huey Lewis is like okay,

186
00:09:04,919 --> 00:09:07,480
and he's like, just just be cool, don't do anything weird.

187
00:09:07,879 --> 00:09:09,639
So he's like, all right, fine, I'll be cool. I'll

188
00:09:09,639 --> 00:09:12,080
just stay on the sidelines. And so Hugh's down there

189
00:09:12,080 --> 00:09:14,240
with Billy Gibson, who's the drummer for the news. The

190
00:09:14,279 --> 00:09:16,080
forty nine ers were blowing out the Giants and the

191
00:09:16,080 --> 00:09:18,639
cameras were starting to wander, and Hugh's like, get out

192
00:09:18,639 --> 00:09:21,440
of here before we get anybody in trouble, right, And

193
00:09:21,559 --> 00:09:24,320
as he turns to walk out, they pull Steve Young,

194
00:09:24,320 --> 00:09:26,679
who's the quarterback for the forty nine ers, off the field.

195
00:09:26,720 --> 00:09:29,240
He's like, okay, you're done for the day. And Steve

196
00:09:29,279 --> 00:09:31,440
Young as he's coming off field, cameras are all on him.

197
00:09:31,480 --> 00:09:35,320
He's like hey, Hueye. He's like hey, He's like, what.

198
00:09:35,279 --> 00:09:35,879
Speaker 4: Am I going to do?

199
00:09:35,960 --> 00:09:38,879
Speaker 1: The quarterback is yelling at me right, and he's like, hey, Steve,

200
00:09:38,919 --> 00:09:40,639
how's it going? And he's like, oh, give him a

201
00:09:40,679 --> 00:09:41,840
big hug, like hey.

202
00:09:41,720 --> 00:09:43,000
Speaker 7: Huey Lewis and Steve Young.

203
00:09:43,519 --> 00:09:46,919
Speaker 1: So then the commentators they're like, hey, John Madden wants

204
00:09:46,960 --> 00:09:48,679
to say hi to Huey Lewis, and so he was

205
00:09:48,720 --> 00:09:51,960
like okay. So they hand him a microphone and she's

206
00:09:52,000 --> 00:09:54,919
talking to John Madden and everybody gets in trouble. So

207
00:09:54,960 --> 00:09:57,960
they find the forty nine ers for this. But Carbon Policy,

208
00:09:58,080 --> 00:10:01,320
who is the president of the forty nine ers, writes

209
00:10:01,360 --> 00:10:04,240
this very scathing letter to the NFL because Huey Lewis

210
00:10:04,320 --> 00:10:07,759
is their spiritual advisor, and how dare they would they

211
00:10:07,799 --> 00:10:11,440
write the same letter if Billy Graham was on the sidelines.

212
00:10:11,480 --> 00:10:16,360
So Huey Lewis got the forty nine ers find anyway Dwight.

213
00:10:16,120 --> 00:10:21,480
Speaker 2: Bark spiritual leader of the compared into Billy Graham. That's hilarious.

214
00:10:22,360 --> 00:10:24,080
Speaker 1: All right, we ready to dive track and I track

215
00:10:24,120 --> 00:10:24,399
into this.

216
00:10:24,759 --> 00:10:27,320
Speaker 2: Yes, let's do it. I can't wait any longer. My

217
00:10:27,480 --> 00:10:28,639
Heart is beauty.

218
00:10:28,919 --> 00:10:43,600
Speaker 8: Boom boom boom boom boom boom.

219
00:10:43,720 --> 00:10:46,639
Speaker 1: The Heart of Rock and Roll, released April tenth, nineteen

220
00:10:46,639 --> 00:10:49,039
eighty four, was the third single on the album. It

221
00:10:49,080 --> 00:10:51,799
reached number six on the chart. Okay, this is really interesting.

222
00:10:51,879 --> 00:10:55,440
Take note of that number six. Okay, all right, now,

223
00:10:55,559 --> 00:10:58,039
out of my curiosity, I'm like, are you kidding? An

224
00:10:58,159 --> 00:11:00,000
iconic song like part of rock and roll doesn't reach

225
00:11:00,120 --> 00:11:03,159
top five. So here's what was the top five the

226
00:11:03,200 --> 00:11:04,759
week that this peaked at number six?

227
00:11:04,840 --> 00:11:05,159
Speaker 2: Okay.

Speaker 4: Every go back and watch Boogie Knights enjoy.

243
00:11:41,879 --> 00:11:43,919

00:11:43,960 --> 00:11:44,320
we will.

245
00:11:44,440 --> 00:11:46,000
Speaker 4: Okay, all right, let's do it.

246
00:11:46,960 --> 00:11:50,559
Speaker 2: Okay. So this song was written by Huey Lewis and

247
00:11:50,720 --> 00:11:56,399
Johnny Cole and Johnny is a spectacular guitarist and also saxophonist.

248
00:11:56,440 --> 00:11:58,799
He's the sex guy. How many guys are doing saxophone

249
00:11:58,840 --> 00:12:00,799
songs in the eighties, just a couple?

250
00:12:01,279 --> 00:12:03,360
Speaker 4: How many are Huey Lewis and Bruce Springsteen?

251
00:12:03,480 --> 00:12:04,120
Speaker 1: Right, that's it.

252
00:12:04,320 --> 00:12:07,559
Speaker 2: This has got a really similar style to Dancing in

253
00:12:07,600 --> 00:12:08,919
the streets. Yeah.

254
00:12:09,039 --> 00:12:11,519
Speaker 1: Yeah, Well because they have that city roll call at

255
00:12:11,519 --> 00:12:12,200
the end of the song.

256
00:12:12,360 --> 00:12:12,679
Speaker 2: Yeah.

257
00:12:12,799 --> 00:12:16,279
Speaker 1: The creation of this song, So hue Lewis gets this story. Yes,

258
00:12:16,639 --> 00:12:18,639
we talked about this a little bit. Yeah, Huey Lewis

259
00:12:18,639 --> 00:12:21,480
gets this story that the heart of rock and roll

260
00:12:21,759 --> 00:12:24,799
is in Cleveland. So he's like, I don't know about that, guys.

261
00:12:24,840 --> 00:12:26,919
And so they go and they play this show in

262
00:12:26,960 --> 00:12:30,879
Cleveland and the fans just blow his doors off, and

263
00:12:30,919 --> 00:12:33,600
on the tour bus going home afterwards, he's like, you know, what, guys,

264
00:12:33,639 --> 00:12:35,360
I think the heart of rock and roll is in

265
00:12:35,440 --> 00:12:37,279
Cleveland And they're like yeah, and he's like, I think

266
00:12:37,320 --> 00:12:39,200
that's a great title for a song. And they're like,

267
00:12:43,200 --> 00:12:46,120
but now every time I listen to that song, uh huh.

268
00:12:45,799 --> 00:12:47,360
Speaker 4: You can hear the hard.

269
00:12:47,320 --> 00:12:48,679
Speaker 1: Rock and roll is in Cleveland.

270
00:12:48,919 --> 00:12:52,279
Speaker 2: Yeah. So they had had a great show in Cleveland, right,

271
00:12:52,480 --> 00:12:55,720
you should spawn this song. Yes, La is mentioned in

272
00:12:55,759 --> 00:12:58,879
this But if you ask Huey Lewis, what's the worst

273
00:12:58,919 --> 00:13:00,120
reception you've ever had?

274
00:13:00,120 --> 00:13:02,960
Speaker 4: Where's the worst place to play? He says La. He

275
00:13:03,080 --> 00:13:05,440
said that they played a show. He said he can.

276
00:13:05,399 --> 00:13:07,600
Speaker 2: Usually tell what the review is going to be of

277
00:13:07,639 --> 00:13:10,159
the show when they play, because if he feels like

278
00:13:10,200 --> 00:13:12,600
it's a bad show, the reviews are going to be bad,

279
00:13:12,600 --> 00:13:14,919
and right, it always turns out right. So they do

280
00:13:15,000 --> 00:13:17,600
their first show in la he thinks they do a

281
00:13:17,639 --> 00:13:21,200
great job. The next morning, the manager is like, all right,

282
00:13:21,200 --> 00:13:22,200
everybody got a good.

283
00:13:22,080 --> 00:13:24,639
Speaker 4: Review in the La Times. You know, come on down

284
00:13:24,679 --> 00:13:25,279
for breakfast.

285
00:13:25,480 --> 00:13:29,159
Speaker 2: Not so fast to you. Apparently he got railed this

286
00:13:29,240 --> 00:13:32,360
first show. He was like totally surprised, and he says,

287
00:13:32,399 --> 00:13:34,399
so I'm just kind of like, wow, I really thought

288
00:13:34,440 --> 00:13:36,679
we did a good show. But then a few months

289
00:13:36,759 --> 00:13:40,960
later he's doing some recording. George Lucas has got a

290
00:13:41,039 --> 00:13:45,120
recording studio at the Skywalker Ranch, right, so he's.

291
00:13:44,960 --> 00:13:45,840
Speaker 4: With George Lucas.

292
00:13:45,919 --> 00:13:48,840
Speaker 2: He's George Lucas is dating Linda Ronstad at the time,

293
00:13:49,000 --> 00:13:50,759
who is there recording.

294
00:13:50,639 --> 00:13:52,200
Speaker 4: And he's like, oh, nice to meet you.

295
00:13:52,200 --> 00:13:54,080
Speaker 2: You know that they're doing their introductions.

296
00:13:54,159 --> 00:13:56,080
Speaker 4: She's like, it's so good to meet you.

297
00:13:56,080 --> 00:13:58,120
Speaker 2: You know. We've got Brian Wilson from the Beach Boys

298
00:13:58,120 --> 00:14:01,039
come in a little bit to sing on this song

299
00:14:01,080 --> 00:14:02,879
with me. Would you like to meet him? He's like, oh,

300
00:14:02,919 --> 00:14:04,759
I love that because they were a huge yeah he

301
00:14:04,840 --> 00:14:07,039
Lewis was a huge Beach Boys fan, right yeah.

302
00:14:07,200 --> 00:14:10,440
Speaker 4: And so Brian Wilson comes and he's a little awkward,

303
00:14:10,480 --> 00:14:13,159
he's got some issues, yeah, right, but he starts talking

304
00:14:13,159 --> 00:14:14,720
to you, Lewis. He's like, oh, yes, I know you,

305
00:14:14,759 --> 00:14:15,320
I know you work.

306
00:14:15,360 --> 00:14:17,000
Speaker 2: Oh I love it. He goes, I actually saw you

307
00:14:17,039 --> 00:14:19,080
in concert. He's like oh really. When he's like in

308
00:14:19,279 --> 00:14:22,080
the la he's like, which show did you see? And

309
00:14:22,120 --> 00:14:23,639
Brian was just like, I saw your very first show

310
00:14:23,639 --> 00:14:26,080
at the very first one, and he goes, okay, so

311
00:14:26,360 --> 00:14:27,840
tell me truth. What did you think of it? He

312
00:14:27,879 --> 00:14:32,559
goes top five, maybe top three live performances I've ever

313
00:14:32,559 --> 00:14:33,600
seen in my whole life.

314
00:14:33,799 --> 00:14:37,440
Speaker 4: Wow, and Lysis is like screw the La Times.

315
00:14:37,559 --> 00:14:39,440
Speaker 2: Brian Wilson just told me that was one of the

316
00:14:39,480 --> 00:14:41,519
best shows you've ever seen. I don't care about the

317
00:14:41,519 --> 00:14:42,200
bad review.

318
00:14:42,240 --> 00:14:46,480
Speaker 1: That is great. Brian Wilson, beachways, that's awesome. Before you

319
00:14:46,559 --> 00:14:49,559
move on, I got one quick story. Nineteen ninety we

320
00:14:49,639 --> 00:14:52,080
had just played a baseball game after we had a

321
00:14:52,120 --> 00:14:56,200
big win. We're traveling back home on the bus. My

322
00:14:56,279 --> 00:14:58,799
coach was in an especially good mood because we won,

323
00:14:59,039 --> 00:15:00,840
so he let us turn on the radio station. This

324
00:15:00,879 --> 00:15:02,720
is in nineteen ninety, so think I mean, this is

325
00:15:02,759 --> 00:15:06,039
Appetite for Destruction. This is Doctor Phil Good, this is Winger,

326
00:15:06,159 --> 00:15:09,159
this is Para Metal, bon Jovi, New Jersey, this is

327
00:15:09,159 --> 00:15:12,279
all this stuff. So what comes on the radio but

328
00:15:12,360 --> 00:15:14,440
Heart of Rock and Roll, So when you're in high school,

329
00:15:14,440 --> 00:15:17,559
when you're seventeen seven years ago, is Eternity. But harder

330
00:15:17,639 --> 00:15:19,960
rock and Roll comes on and one guy starts to

331

369
00:17:21,880 --> 00:17:25,000
the harder rock and Roll does not belong in Halifax.

370
00:17:26,359 --> 00:17:28,359
And he said, so he like put his foot down

371
00:17:28,400 --> 00:17:30,480
on Halifax. I'm not singing Hall of Fax. Then he

372
00:17:30,559 --> 00:17:32,039
said he went and played Halifax.

373
00:17:32,079 --> 00:17:35,400
Speaker 4: He's like, the place is really cool rock and roll.

374
00:17:35,599 --> 00:17:39,759
Speaker 2: Yeah, Halax, harder rock and roll. By the way, we

375
00:17:39,799 --> 00:17:41,640
didn't talk about the video on Harder rock and Roll.

376
00:17:41,680 --> 00:17:43,759
All I can remember is they pack it with a

377
00:17:43,799 --> 00:17:46,319
lot of flash really kicks him in the.

378
00:17:48,359 --> 00:17:52,759
Speaker 1: We might want to talk about that, Okay, We done

379
00:17:52,759 --> 00:17:55,519
with harder rock and roll? Yes, all right, Moving on

380
00:17:55,640 --> 00:17:57,319
to the number two song on the album. This song

381
00:17:57,400 --> 00:17:58,720
is called Heart and Soul.

382
00:18:14,400 --> 00:18:17,519
Speaker 2: Yes, this is not an original. He was listening the

383
00:18:17,559 --> 00:18:18,440
new song I know, and.

384
00:18:18,480 --> 00:18:20,599
Speaker 1: That blows me away. I didn't know that before.

385
00:18:20,839 --> 00:18:23,160
Speaker 2: There's yeah, I did not know it either. And obviously

386
00:18:23,319 --> 00:18:25,079
this is one of their biggest ones. I mean, this

387
00:18:25,200 --> 00:18:27,079
is the first video I remember seeing.

388
00:18:27,359 --> 00:18:28,599
Speaker 1: This is the first single off the album.

389
00:18:28,799 --> 00:18:29,519
Speaker 4: Yeah, so yeah.

390
00:18:29,559 --> 00:18:32,720
Speaker 1: Hardest Soul was written by Mike Chapman and Nikki Chin. Okay,

391
00:18:33,319 --> 00:18:36,200
these are famous songwriters. They wrote I Want to Kiss

392
00:18:36,240 --> 00:18:39,279
You all Over flashback to our Happy Gilmour episode.

393
00:18:39,319 --> 00:18:41,720
Speaker 2: Oh wow, okay, okay, good throwback.

394
00:18:43,039 --> 00:18:46,039
Speaker 1: They wrote Better Be Good to Me by Tina Turner okay,

395
00:18:46,480 --> 00:18:48,920
and they wrote Mickey by Tony Basil.

396
00:18:49,359 --> 00:18:50,400
Speaker 8: Oh wow.

397
00:19:02,799 --> 00:19:05,359
Speaker 2: Wow, Yeah, that's fantastic. So.

398
00:19:05,640 --> 00:19:09,359
Speaker 1: The song was first recorded by Exile in nineteen eighty one,

399
00:19:09,920 --> 00:19:11,680
and it was the title track on their album Heart

400
00:19:11,680 --> 00:19:14,119
and Soul. This blows me away that in nineteen eighty

401
00:19:14,200 --> 00:19:16,680
three were already re recording songs from nineteen eighty one.

402
00:19:17,039 --> 00:19:19,559
Speaker 2: Well, it obviously wasn't a huge It didn't do as.

403
00:19:19,480 --> 00:19:21,960
Speaker 1: Well as they thought it should do, failed to crack

404
00:19:22,039 --> 00:19:25,480
the top one hundred. So I heard Hugh Lewis once again.

405
00:19:25,559 --> 00:19:27,480
They're looking for a hit, right, and they're trying to

406
00:19:27,519 --> 00:19:29,799
cover their butt because their third album needs to be

407
00:19:29,960 --> 00:19:32,319
a smash or the record company is going to walk away.

408
00:19:32,400 --> 00:19:34,160
So they had all these songs and they're like, we

409
00:19:34,240 --> 00:19:36,240
need one more hit. Okay, this is the pour some

410
00:19:36,359 --> 00:19:40,160
Sugar on Me, same story, Okay, we need one more hit.

411
00:19:40,319 --> 00:19:42,920
So he was talking to Mike Chapman because Mike Chapman

412
00:19:42,960 --> 00:19:45,799
had flirted with producing Hugh Lewis in the news, and

413
00:19:45,880 --> 00:19:47,640
he's like, hey, man, I need a hit. I need

414
00:19:47,720 --> 00:19:49,640
one more song that I can be a hit. And

415
00:19:49,759 --> 00:19:51,559
Mike Chapman is this song Heart and Soul we think

416
00:19:51,680 --> 00:19:54,079
is pretty good, and so here you listened to it

417
00:19:54,160 --> 00:19:55,960
and he's like, no, this sounds great, this is a hit.

418
00:19:56,039 --> 00:19:59,000
You know I want to do this. Well, it turns

419
00:19:59,039 --> 00:20:02,160
out that Mike Chapman had given permission for Huey Lewis

420
00:20:02,200 --> 00:20:04,160
to record it and this other group called the bus

421
00:20:04,279 --> 00:20:05,079
Boys to record it.

422
00:20:05,160 --> 00:20:06,039
Speaker 4: Yeah, the bus Boys.

423
00:20:06,119 --> 00:20:08,880
Speaker 2: The bus Boys are the Boys are back in Town.

424
00:20:09,000 --> 00:20:11,880
That's in Ghostbusters, and in forty eight hours they were

425
00:20:11,960 --> 00:20:14,960
like the band in Eddie Murphy's All His Stuff.

426
00:20:15,039 --> 00:20:16,279
Speaker 4: The bus Boys are huge.

427
00:20:16,440 --> 00:20:18,400
Speaker 1: Wow. Okay, wow, that's good.

428
00:20:18,440 --> 00:20:19,960
Speaker 5: I didn't know that. Yes, I didn't know that.

429
00:20:20,079 --> 00:20:23,359
Speaker 2: Again, let throw forward to Ghostbusters coming up the bus Boys.

430
00:20:23,440 --> 00:20:25,599
But anyway, sorry, go ahead. So, yes, that's a license

431
00:20:25,680 --> 00:20:26,599
the song of the bus Boys.

432
00:20:26,640 --> 00:20:28,960
Speaker 1: So the bust Boys recorded that for their nineteen eighty

433
00:20:29,000 --> 00:20:32,319
two album American Worker. But Huey Lewis he wanted to

434
00:20:32,359 --> 00:20:34,279
hear the recordings of it, and when he heard it,

435
00:20:34,400 --> 00:20:36,240
he thought, nah, our version is better.

436
00:20:38,039 --> 00:20:49,880
Speaker 7: So he was worried about it until he heard it

437
00:20:49,920 --> 00:20:50,240
and he's like.

438
00:20:50,279 --> 00:20:51,400
Speaker 4: Nah, well I can say this.

439
00:20:51,559 --> 00:20:55,039
Speaker 2: When you look up Heart and Soul on Wikipedia, it

440
00:20:55,160 --> 00:20:57,680
is a picture of hue Lewis's album Okay.

441
00:20:58,000 --> 00:21:00,240
Speaker 1: Like we said, this was the first single. It was

442
00:21:00,319 --> 00:21:04,119
released August thirtieth, nineteen eighty three. This reached number eight.

443
00:21:04,559 --> 00:21:07,319
Uh huh, okay, number eight. Let's talk about the music

444
00:21:07,400 --> 00:21:08,119
video for a second.

445
00:21:08,240 --> 00:21:11,240
Speaker 2: Okay. This is one of the first videos I ever

446
00:21:11,640 --> 00:21:14,039
remember watching Okay, and I really I.

447
00:21:14,200 --> 00:21:14,960
Speaker 4: Think there was something.

448
00:21:15,279 --> 00:21:17,640
Speaker 2: Huey Lewis is a guy who I think has looked

449
00:21:17,720 --> 00:21:20,680
forty five his entire life, Like, I saw pictures of

450
00:21:20,759 --> 00:21:23,240
him when he was like in the high school basketball team,

451
00:21:23,319 --> 00:21:26,440
and he looks exactly the same. It's now only that

452
00:21:26,559 --> 00:21:28,480
he's in his seventies that he starts to look like

453
00:21:28,519 --> 00:21:31,440
he's fifty five, right. He just has always had that

454
00:21:31,559 --> 00:21:33,920
same look. And so I see this video of a

455
00:21:33,960 --> 00:21:35,799
guy who doesn't look like the other people that I've

456
00:21:35,799 --> 00:21:39,200
seen on MTV in a suit and tie. Yeah, and

457
00:21:39,279 --> 00:21:42,720
then he walks into a place where everybody that's dancing

458
00:21:42,839 --> 00:21:45,559
looks like all the other people that I've seen on MTV. Sure.

459
00:21:45,920 --> 00:21:50,200
And so it's got this actress in it called Sidney Coleman.

460
00:21:50,279 --> 00:21:52,920
Sidney Coleman, Yeah, and she had been I think she

461
00:21:53,119 --> 00:21:55,119
was in a soap opera and she played it like

462
00:21:55,200 --> 00:21:56,720
a blind character in the South Viper.

463
00:21:56,720 --> 00:21:59,680
Speaker 4: Okay, but she's she is very engaging in this hate.

464
00:22:00,119 --> 00:22:02,440
Speaker 1: She's in heart and soul. She's also the girl he's

465
00:22:02,519 --> 00:22:05,000
chasing around in I Want a New Drug. And the

466
00:22:05,039 --> 00:22:07,960
reason why they hired her her mom and Hugh Lewis's

467
00:22:08,039 --> 00:22:08,839
mom were friends.

468
00:22:10,200 --> 00:22:10,839
Speaker 2: That's awesome.

469
00:22:12,039 --> 00:22:12,440
Speaker 1: There you go.

470
00:22:12,720 --> 00:22:14,759
Speaker 2: So this video are we ready talking for the video?

471
00:22:15,079 --> 00:22:17,880
Speaker 4: The video is really weird, Yes, You've.

472
00:22:17,720 --> 00:22:19,839
Speaker 2: Got all these weird folks who are lip syncing the

473
00:22:19,960 --> 00:22:22,039
song as he's kind of in there checking out this

474
00:22:22,200 --> 00:22:25,599
hot girl who's dancing, and then you see is it

475
00:22:25,839 --> 00:22:28,680
Mario Cippolini, the that looks like the Vampire?

476
00:22:28,960 --> 00:22:29,720
Speaker 5: Yes, that's right.

477
00:22:29,880 --> 00:22:32,400
Speaker 4: Oh my gosh. I'm like, what is going on with

478
00:22:32,519 --> 00:22:33,319
this creepy dude.

479
00:22:33,359 --> 00:22:35,640
Speaker 2: I'm like, oh wow, he's actually a member of the band.

480
00:22:35,720 --> 00:22:38,279
He's not just some weird character like the other ones

481
00:22:38,319 --> 00:22:41,039
they have. And then you at some point they're running

482
00:22:41,039 --> 00:22:43,480
along and opening doors and you open he opens the

483
00:22:43,559 --> 00:22:45,799
door and there he is with fangs out biting the

484
00:22:45,880 --> 00:22:48,720
neck of a girl, and they're like, what the heck

485
00:22:48,759 --> 00:22:49,640
and close that door.

486
00:22:49,839 --> 00:22:50,160
Speaker 9: Move on.

487
00:22:50,480 --> 00:22:54,079
Speaker 1: Yes, very strange, interesting videos, all right. Moving on. Third

488
00:22:54,160 --> 00:22:55,519
song on the album, That is Bad.

489
00:23:12,960 --> 00:23:16,240
Speaker 2: This moment when this song came on when I listened

490
00:23:16,279 --> 00:23:20,920
to this album again for the first time in thirty years,

491
00:23:21,799 --> 00:23:23,759
and this song came on and I was like, I

492
00:23:23,880 --> 00:23:26,079
know this song. I know this song. I knew every

493
00:23:26,200 --> 00:23:29,079
single word, word for word, and I haven't heard it

494
00:23:29,119 --> 00:23:32,519
in thirty years now. We talked about that this song

495
00:23:32,640 --> 00:23:34,920
was something that Huey Lewis had written before and had

496
00:23:34,960 --> 00:23:36,160
been recorded.

497
00:23:35,839 --> 00:23:40,000
Speaker 4: By Dave Evans, thank you. And wasn't good, right, I

498
00:23:40,079 --> 00:23:41,720
mean it was okay, it was okay, it wasn't bad.

499
00:23:42,200 --> 00:23:43,039
Speaker 2: It was very bluesy.

500
00:23:43,200 --> 00:23:45,720
Speaker 4: This one's kind of a du they're even saying.

501
00:23:45,599 --> 00:23:48,279
Speaker 2: Do wop on it? Right? Absolutely, it's not got as

502
00:23:48,359 --> 00:23:51,400
much harmonic on it. It's got more harmonies on it, which,

503
00:23:51,599 --> 00:23:54,160
as I understand it, Johnny Cola is the one who

504
00:23:54,240 --> 00:23:56,640
puts together their harmonies, which we got to talk about

505
00:23:56,680 --> 00:23:59,319
for just a second. Okay, the blend of these guys's voice.

506
00:24:00,680 --> 00:24:03,480
I mean, they're not any one of them fantastic singers.

507
00:24:03,519 --> 00:24:07,279
They're not any one of them fantastic like expert musicians.

508
00:24:07,559 --> 00:24:11,839
They're just all good and they're good together. That's the key.

509
00:24:12,799 --> 00:24:16,160
And when they first started, when Bob Brown was pushing

510
00:24:16,240 --> 00:24:18,519
it and Chris Liss was like, hey, okay, we'll sign them.

511
00:24:18,839 --> 00:24:20,759
But Chris list said, but they need to get rid

512
00:24:20,799 --> 00:24:24,680
of the drummer. The drummer Bill Gibson yep. And after

513
00:24:24,960 --> 00:24:28,480
Huey Lewis's experience with the bass player that threw up

514
00:24:28,519 --> 00:24:31,160
because he was on LSD when he got fired, he

515
00:24:31,319 --> 00:24:34,640
was like, no, I'm not going to fire it. Sign

516
00:24:34,880 --> 00:24:36,759
don't sign us yep. The sign him anyway.

517
00:24:36,839 --> 00:24:39,920
Speaker 1: That's super love the loyalty there. So Bad is Bad.

518
00:24:40,119 --> 00:24:42,039
It was actually written, like you said, in the late

519
00:24:42,119 --> 00:24:45,279
seventies while he was working with Phil Lennett of Finn Lizzie.

520
00:24:45,480 --> 00:24:47,680
Speaker 2: Yeah, he did a lot of harmonica work with Finn

521
00:24:47,720 --> 00:24:51,319
Lizzie And we didn't mention this, but Clover after they

522
00:24:51,680 --> 00:24:54,920
broke up, you know, they went on and recorded on

523
00:24:55,200 --> 00:24:59,880
Elvis Costello's first really big album, and they offered he

524
00:25:00,279 --> 00:25:03,119
Lewis to come and record with him, and he was like, yeah,

525
00:25:03,160 --> 00:25:04,720
I think I'd rather have a two week vacation.

526
00:25:05,000 --> 00:25:07,119
Speaker 1: The interesting thing to me and I don't quite know

527
00:25:07,279 --> 00:25:09,640
how all this works out. Yeah, but Bad is Bad

528
00:25:09,920 --> 00:25:11,640
was not released as a single.

529
00:25:11,759 --> 00:25:12,759
Speaker 4: Should have been, should have been?

530
00:25:12,880 --> 00:25:15,039
Speaker 2: This is my favorite song on this album. Okay, it's

531
00:25:15,079 --> 00:25:18,279
my and I just it's so good.

532
00:25:18,519 --> 00:25:21,480
Speaker 1: So this song didn't chart because it wasn't released, right,

533
00:25:21,880 --> 00:25:23,160
But they made a video for it.

534
00:25:23,359 --> 00:25:25,640
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's not a fantastic video. They're just kind of

535
00:25:25,680 --> 00:25:27,480
walking around in the streets.

536
00:25:27,119 --> 00:25:29,759
Speaker 1: Of San Francisco. Yeah, filmed in March of nineteen eighty five.

537
00:25:30,640 --> 00:25:34,000
Speaker 2: Weird. Okay, So I got to say, at age forty five,

538
00:25:34,119 --> 00:25:36,880
listening to it now, I didn't really understand what this

539
00:25:37,000 --> 00:25:39,839
song was about because whenever I listened to it as

540
00:25:39,839 --> 00:25:41,920
a kid and he said play the guitar like chainsaw

541
00:25:42,000 --> 00:25:43,559
buzz and it was like I was like.

542
00:25:43,640 --> 00:25:45,039
Speaker 5: Yeah, that's awesome, that's cool.

543
00:25:45,160 --> 00:25:50,240
Speaker 2: No, that's not what he means. Okay, sometimes bad, he's bad. Yeah, yeah,

544
00:25:50,440 --> 00:25:53,079
he meant that. The change I mean because I played

545
00:25:53,119 --> 00:25:55,039
guitar now, right, I was not a guitar player when

546
00:25:55,039 --> 00:25:56,839
I listened to this song the first time. If the

547
00:25:57,119 --> 00:26:00,000
if it sounds buzzy, if the guitar sounds buddy buzzy,

548
00:26:00,319 --> 00:26:03,000
that means it's bad. It's got a thing you don't want,

549
00:26:03,079 --> 00:26:05,279
and so that that's bad. And then I should have

550
00:26:05,359 --> 00:26:09,640
picked up on the the stew is the yeah, and

551
00:26:10,160 --> 00:26:12,039
all one dollar's worth is all I could stand up.

552
00:26:12,160 --> 00:26:15,359
I just didn't get it. And then the final lyric

553
00:26:15,440 --> 00:26:18,400
in the song is a great Jimmy Hendrix redhouse style,

554
00:26:18,640 --> 00:26:20,880
which Jimmy Hendrix will come up here in a second, yep,

555
00:26:21,119 --> 00:26:23,920
but it's this great. You know, I tried to unlock

556
00:26:24,000 --> 00:26:27,680
the door style. What he comes in the letter says,

557
00:26:28,480 --> 00:26:31,400
I love you, hueye, but there's another.

558
00:26:31,319 --> 00:26:33,920
Speaker 1: Strange pair of shoes under my bed.

559
00:26:55,640 --> 00:26:58,880
Speaker 2: So here we are three four three and in my opinion,

560
00:26:59,279 --> 00:27:01,599
building better and better and better.

561
00:27:01,759 --> 00:27:02,559
Speaker 1: What are we great songs?

562
00:27:02,880 --> 00:27:04,079
Speaker 4: What are we going to see on number four?

563
00:27:04,160 --> 00:27:07,960
Speaker 1: Okay, number four? Last song on side one of it,

564
00:27:08,079 --> 00:27:27,319
I want a new drug. That double guitar at the

565
00:27:27,359 --> 00:27:28,880
beginning of this is fantastic.

566
00:27:29,000 --> 00:27:31,200
Speaker 2: Yeah, they do a great pan from left speaker to

567
00:27:31,319 --> 00:27:34,960
right speaker. Top down, radio up. This is the song

568
00:27:35,000 --> 00:27:35,640
you want to be hearing.

569
00:27:36,039 --> 00:27:39,720
Speaker 1: This was the second single, released January third, nineteen eighty four.

570
00:27:40,119 --> 00:27:44,400
This reached number six. Still haven't cracked the tall five.

571
00:27:44,480 --> 00:27:45,480
Speaker 5: Gosh, guess it's.

572
00:27:45,400 --> 00:27:46,200
Speaker 2: Such a good song.

573
00:27:46,319 --> 00:27:47,839
Speaker 4: I can't believe that it didn't crack.

574
00:27:48,640 --> 00:27:52,880
Speaker 2: It's amazing, right, Okay, So this song goes through every

575
00:27:53,240 --> 00:27:56,119
side effect that you can think of. For Druggy, I

576
00:27:56,200 --> 00:27:58,880
know that you have no experience at all. I am

577
00:27:59,079 --> 00:28:02,759
embarrassed to say that I do. I can understand every

578
00:28:02,960 --> 00:28:07,319
bad side effect. There are no drugs without bad side effects, kids.

579
00:28:07,440 --> 00:28:10,400
Speaker 4: None, Right, he wrote, including love.

580
00:28:10,519 --> 00:28:13,319
Speaker 1: Love does have effect. That It's true, it does.

581
00:28:13,920 --> 00:28:14,359
Speaker 3: That's true.

582
00:28:14,440 --> 00:28:17,599
Speaker 4: But that's what the song is truly about, Hugh, he.

583
00:28:17,640 --> 00:28:18,119
Speaker 5: Talks about it.

584
00:28:18,160 --> 00:28:20,400
Speaker 1: It is about love. He said. This song is not

585
00:28:20,799 --> 00:28:24,000
pro drug. It's not even anti drug. No, it's just

586
00:28:24,079 --> 00:28:27,160
about love. Here's the interesting thing. Huey Lewis wrote the

587
00:28:27,279 --> 00:28:29,319
song in a few minutes. Said he was on his

588
00:28:29,400 --> 00:28:32,160
way to his attorney's house and he was in the car, okay,

589
00:28:32,440 --> 00:28:35,599
and he's driving and all of a sudden, boom it hits.

590
00:28:36,119 --> 00:28:39,240
He's got it in his head and he basically runs

591
00:28:39,319 --> 00:28:40,839
in and says, Bob, give me a piece of paper,

592
00:28:41,880 --> 00:28:44,640
give me a piece of paper, and he writes it down. Yeah,

593
00:28:44,839 --> 00:28:47,240
that to me, that blows me away. Like these guys

594
00:28:47,279 --> 00:28:49,559
are so creative that songs just jump into their head.

595
00:28:50,160 --> 00:28:53,839
This song was covered by our main man, weird Al Yankovic.

596
00:28:53,960 --> 00:28:54,640
Speaker 2: Oh right.

597
00:28:55,000 --> 00:28:57,000
Speaker 4: The song was called we Can't Let It Go by.

598
00:28:57,400 --> 00:28:58,319
Speaker 5: I want a new duck.

599
00:29:01,880 --> 00:29:02,400
Speaker 8: I want.

600
00:29:03,799 --> 00:29:08,000
Speaker 1: One wol trying to bite well, that won't chew all

601
00:29:08,160 --> 00:29:10,759
my socks, one that won't quack all night.

602
00:29:11,200 --> 00:29:14,799
Speaker 2: Which is why the end of that video where it's

603
00:29:14,839 --> 00:29:18,720
Weird Al Yakavic and Huey Lewis together parodying America Psycho

604
00:29:19,559 --> 00:29:20,640
is so brilliant.

605
00:29:21,000 --> 00:29:24,720
Speaker 1: Last line, yep, brilliant, brilliant. Hey, I will tell you

606
00:29:24,880 --> 00:29:27,720
just from personal experience. Okay, So I had this tape,

607
00:29:28,000 --> 00:29:30,160
had a cassette tape. Uh you know, I told you

608
00:29:30,279 --> 00:29:32,559
my parents they analyzed my music pretty good. My dad

609
00:29:32,640 --> 00:29:35,319
picked up the tape Harder, rock and Roll, hard and Soul,

610
00:29:35,720 --> 00:29:38,079
Bad is bad, Walking on Thin Line? All good?

611
00:29:38,279 --> 00:29:38,480
Speaker 8: Yeah?

612
00:29:38,559 --> 00:29:40,920
Speaker 1: Wait, what's this song called I Want a New Drug?

613
00:29:41,200 --> 00:29:43,559
He had to pause and ask my uncle if it

614
00:29:43,680 --> 00:29:46,000
was okay. Uncle gave the thumbs up, So now I

615
00:29:46,440 --> 00:29:46,920
wore out.

616
00:29:46,839 --> 00:29:49,319
Speaker 5: Sports way to go Uncle, I know, right, Okay.

617
00:29:49,559 --> 00:29:51,319
Speaker 1: There is something at the end of the song that

618
00:29:51,440 --> 00:29:53,640
I did not know until we were driving in the

619
00:29:53,720 --> 00:29:55,680
car today to record this.

620
00:29:56,079 --> 00:29:58,960
Speaker 2: Yeah. I remember it from when I was a kid,

621
00:29:59,079 --> 00:30:00,680
and I don't know how I it back then, but

622
00:30:00,759 --> 00:30:02,920
I knew it. And yeah, as we're driving, I'm like, oh,

623
00:30:03,000 --> 00:30:05,119
there's Jimmy Hendrix and you're like, there's who what what?

624
00:30:05,599 --> 00:30:05,839
Speaker 1: I know?

625
00:30:06,559 --> 00:30:22,319
Speaker 4: But here it is, and that's Purple Hayes by Jimmy Hendricks.

626
00:30:22,400 --> 00:30:25,279
Speaker 2: Guys. I don't know if nobody else noticed it but me,

627
00:30:25,400 --> 00:30:25,920
but there you go.

628
00:30:26,119 --> 00:30:26,759
Speaker 1: It's incredible.

629
00:30:26,839 --> 00:30:28,839
Speaker 2: Any guitar, any guitar stuff there is going to hear

630
00:30:28,880 --> 00:30:30,839
that and go, oh, I know what he's doing there. Again,

631
00:30:31,079 --> 00:30:33,960
these guys are not masterful musicians. They just are out

632
00:30:34,000 --> 00:30:35,160
there having some freaking.

633
00:30:34,960 --> 00:30:37,279
Speaker 1: Good time and they're tight throwing in fun stuff.

634
00:30:37,400 --> 00:30:38,799
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's real. Love it, love it.

635
00:30:38,960 --> 00:30:43,200
Speaker 1: Okay, this is where we talk about the lawsuit between

636
00:30:43,279 --> 00:30:46,000
Huey Lewis and Ray Parker. R.

637
00:30:46,119 --> 00:30:49,640
Speaker 2: Yeah. So the guys who are making Ghostbusters go to

638
00:30:49,720 --> 00:30:52,160
Huey Lewis say hey, we'd like you to record a

639
00:30:52,240 --> 00:30:55,519
song for the soundtrack, and he says no thanks, but

640
00:30:55,640 --> 00:30:56,079
no thanks.

641
00:30:56,240 --> 00:30:59,839
Speaker 1: Yeah, writing a song called Ghostbusters.

642
00:30:59,839 --> 00:31:03,400
Speaker 2: And then later the song that was written for Ghostbusters

643
00:31:03,640 --> 00:31:07,279
that is called who You're Gonna Call? Ghostbusters? Yes, sounds

644
00:31:07,440 --> 00:31:08,359
real familiar.

645
00:31:08,759 --> 00:31:27,400
Speaker 3: Play it right here, Okay, something strange?

646
00:31:30,519 --> 00:31:31,400
Speaker 1: Who you Call?

647
00:31:33,960 --> 00:31:36,920
Speaker 2: All right, it's unquestionable. It's a little faster, but it's

648
00:31:37,039 --> 00:31:42,440
absolutely unquestionably a copy. And I've heard Ray Parker talk

649
00:31:42,480 --> 00:31:42,799
about this.

650
00:31:42,920 --> 00:31:43,079
Speaker 1: He did.

651
00:31:43,160 --> 00:31:44,920
Speaker 2: It's not like he wrote that part of the song.

652
00:31:45,359 --> 00:31:46,880
He had a guy who wrote it, but he didn'tant

653
00:31:46,880 --> 00:31:48,680
to throw him under the bus, right, It was just

654
00:31:48,839 --> 00:31:50,880
like just came to me and it was the cool

655
00:31:50,960 --> 00:31:53,279
sounding guitar riff. So I said, great, I can write

656
00:31:53,319 --> 00:31:55,759
some lyrics to this, and that's how the song came about.

657
00:31:55,839 --> 00:31:59,359
That's right, but that's his name was still the one

658
00:31:59,400 --> 00:31:59,960
on the lawsuit.

659
00:32:00,319 --> 00:32:02,839
Speaker 1: So here's the interesting thing. I heard an interview with

660
00:32:02,960 --> 00:32:05,559
Ray Parker. They settled out of court. Huey Lewis sued

661
00:32:05,599 --> 00:32:08,079
Ray Parker Jr. And they settled out of court.

662
00:32:08,240 --> 00:32:08,400
Speaker 2: Yep.

663
00:32:08,440 --> 00:32:10,839
Speaker 1: Okay for an undisclosed sum of money.

664
00:32:11,079 --> 00:32:11,400
Speaker 2: Okay.

665
00:32:11,920 --> 00:32:15,680
Speaker 1: Now flash forward about like six seven, eight, ten years.

666
00:32:15,920 --> 00:32:17,400
Speaker 2: Yeah, it was quite a bit. It was like VH

667
00:32:17,480 --> 00:32:19,119
one behind the music, it was, Yeah.

668
00:32:19,000 --> 00:32:21,599
Speaker 1: And Huey Lewis is talking about how Ray Parker stole

669
00:32:21,720 --> 00:32:23,880
their song I Want a New Drug and turned it

670
00:32:23,960 --> 00:32:25,119
into Ghostbusters.

671
00:32:25,200 --> 00:32:27,640
Speaker 2: Yeah, this song is not for sale. And then he says,

672
00:32:28,039 --> 00:32:30,200
but I guess it turns out as it was because

673
00:32:30,480 --> 00:32:31,799
they paid us for it. Yep.

674
00:32:32,039 --> 00:32:36,039
Speaker 1: Then Ray Parker Junior sues Huey Lewis because he was

675
00:32:36,359 --> 00:32:38,200
he had some sort of no talk about.

676
00:32:38,000 --> 00:32:43,880
Speaker 2: Its Most settlements are confidential, and by Huey Lewis saying

677
00:32:44,279 --> 00:32:48,039
they paid us for it, he just said, what was

678
00:32:48,119 --> 00:32:51,759
the confidential part? Which was a violation? As I understand

679
00:32:51,799 --> 00:32:53,359
that there's been no resolution to that.

680
00:32:53,839 --> 00:32:57,000
Speaker 1: That's interesting. This is because these are two songs that

681
00:32:57,079 --> 00:33:00,519
I loved and could have gone my entire life without

682
00:33:00,599 --> 00:33:04,160
even really dawning on me that they were the same roots.

683
00:33:04,279 --> 00:33:06,440
You know, I love that song Ghostbusters. I mean, I

684
00:33:06,559 --> 00:33:11,079
love I Want a New Drug sonny. So funny how

685
00:33:11,119 --> 00:33:13,440
that works out, right now, Ray Parker Junior did say

686
00:33:13,519 --> 00:33:16,200
that Huey Lewis did have to pay him for mentioning

687
00:33:16,279 --> 00:33:18,400
that on VH one. Behind the music here you may

688
00:33:18,559 --> 00:33:20,680
have countersuit based on that statu.

689
00:33:20,440 --> 00:33:25,519
Speaker 2: But it goes round and round. All right, enough of

690
00:33:25,599 --> 00:33:26,680
this lawyer stuff.

691
00:33:27,039 --> 00:33:29,599
Speaker 1: Okay, A couple more things I want to mention about this, Okay, Okay,

692
00:33:30,000 --> 00:33:32,920
So this, as we mentioned, I Want a New Drug

693
00:33:33,160 --> 00:33:35,759
was actually put in as the tempt track for Back

694
00:33:35,799 --> 00:33:36,319
to the Future.

695
00:33:36,359 --> 00:33:36,599
Speaker 2: Okay.

696
00:33:36,680 --> 00:33:40,079
Speaker 1: Oh, for the for the opening scene in the video,

697
00:33:40,599 --> 00:33:43,519
there is one iconic scene that you mentioned to me,

698
00:33:43,680 --> 00:33:47,000
and I remember it's the head in the ice water

699
00:33:47,200 --> 00:33:49,759
and that's from a movie yeah that I didn't know.

700
00:33:50,000 --> 00:33:52,519
Speaker 2: Okay, So the face in the ice water scene, yes,

701
00:33:52,720 --> 00:33:54,839
probably the most memorable part of the video, right right.

702
00:33:55,000 --> 00:33:58,319
I think it's from the Verdict with Paul Newman story

703
00:33:58,319 --> 00:34:01,160
where he's a drunk attorney and I think he wakes

704
00:34:01,240 --> 00:34:02,720
up with a hangover and that's just cure for the

705
00:34:02,759 --> 00:34:04,920
hangover is singing his head in a book of ice water.

706
00:34:04,960 --> 00:34:07,039
I don't think it's the same like way he did it,

707
00:34:07,160 --> 00:34:09,480
but I think that's where he got that. They didn't

708
00:34:09,480 --> 00:34:10,960
put a camera in the scene to you know that.

709
00:34:11,159 --> 00:34:12,840
But that's really the best part of that is the

710
00:34:12,880 --> 00:34:14,519
best part. The bubble is coming and then he's singing

711
00:34:14,559 --> 00:34:15,400
the song under the water.

712
00:34:15,559 --> 00:34:16,559
Speaker 1: That is the coolest part.

713
00:34:16,800 --> 00:34:18,960
Speaker 5: And as a kid, I'm like, that is awesome.

714
00:34:19,000 --> 00:34:20,000
Speaker 1: Okay, that's it for.

715
00:34:20,079 --> 00:34:22,639
Speaker 2: I wanted to drug push stop on your tape player.

716
00:34:22,559 --> 00:34:25,400
Speaker 1: Kick it out, flip it over side too. And we

717
00:34:25,519 --> 00:34:27,440
started off with walking on Thin Line.

718
00:34:28,639 --> 00:34:29,800
Speaker 9: Sometimes I'm a.

719
00:34:29,880 --> 00:34:30,519
Speaker 1: Fad of night.

720
00:34:32,239 --> 00:34:39,639
Speaker 9: I just look for the light and sometimes likes their.

721
00:34:47,559 --> 00:34:49,880
Speaker 2: So this is interesting how the song starts off. It

722
00:34:50,000 --> 00:34:52,039
is different than the other ones. And I just want

723
00:34:52,079 --> 00:34:53,719
to point something out that we haven't kind of pointed

724
00:34:53,760 --> 00:34:57,800
out as we've gone along here. Okay, but every single

725
00:34:57,880 --> 00:34:58,639
one of these.

726
00:34:58,599 --> 00:35:01,679
Speaker 4: Songs is a different style of song.

727
00:35:02,039 --> 00:35:04,159
Speaker 2: Okay, you know they come They came into the album

728
00:35:04,239 --> 00:35:06,199
thinking we want any one of these to be a

729
00:35:06,280 --> 00:35:09,000
potential hit single, right, trying to hit the top forty.

730
00:35:09,199 --> 00:35:09,280
Speaker 1: Right.

731
00:35:09,559 --> 00:35:12,280
Speaker 2: So the first one hard rock and roll, that's rock,

732
00:35:12,519 --> 00:35:15,880
heart and soul is pop rock. Bad is bad, that's

733
00:35:16,000 --> 00:35:18,519
like do up blues. Yeah, and then you got I

734
00:35:18,599 --> 00:35:21,400
want a new drug, which is very new wave. And

735
00:35:21,480 --> 00:35:24,159
then we hit this one with this awesome intro. You

736
00:35:24,280 --> 00:35:27,719
got different instruments introing each of these songs. This one

737
00:35:27,800 --> 00:35:47,159
starts off heavy keyboards, like five the keyboards given the rhythm,

738
00:35:47,280 --> 00:35:49,440
and then coming in with the melody, and then it's

739
00:35:49,599 --> 00:35:52,719
really nice how the guitar takes over that rhythm spot

740
00:35:52,760 --> 00:35:54,920
from the keyboard. But this one, I don't know whether

741
00:35:54,920 --> 00:35:56,920
they call this rock or new wave or new wave rock.

742
00:35:57,000 --> 00:35:59,639
It's just kind of its own thing. But it's just

743
00:35:59,719 --> 00:36:02,679
to me that these guys are doing all these different

744
00:36:02,719 --> 00:36:03,480
styles of songs.

745
00:36:03,519 --> 00:36:06,400
Speaker 1: We haven't even got to country yet, which we will

746
00:36:06,639 --> 00:36:08,559
yeah on this side of the album. Yeah, Okay.

747
00:36:08,679 --> 00:36:11,960
Speaker 2: So this is the fifth single YEP, released.

748
00:36:11,559 --> 00:36:15,320
Speaker 1: October ninth of nineteen eighty four. This only reached number eighteen.

749
00:36:15,719 --> 00:36:20,000
Speaker 2: Yeah, this was their least successful single. But this to

750
00:36:20,159 --> 00:36:23,079
throw back to our Bruce Springsteen episode, this is They're

751
00:36:23,119 --> 00:36:25,280
Born in the USA, not because it's a big hit,

752
00:36:25,400 --> 00:36:28,119
but because this one is about what it's like to

753
00:36:28,199 --> 00:36:30,480
be the Vietnam vet that nobody cares about. Right.

754
00:36:30,920 --> 00:36:32,639
Speaker 1: In fact, I called you the other day and I said,

755
00:36:32,880 --> 00:36:35,719
which one of the songs on Sports belongs on Born

756
00:36:35,760 --> 00:36:37,599
in the USA, and we both agreed this.

757
00:36:37,719 --> 00:36:39,239
Speaker 2: One, this is it for sure? Yes?

758
00:36:39,400 --> 00:36:40,119
Speaker 1: Not if this is it?

759
00:36:40,920 --> 00:36:42,320
Speaker 5: Not this one?

760
00:36:42,480 --> 00:36:47,760
Speaker 1: Yes, Andre Pessis wrote this song. He also wrote this

761
00:36:47,880 --> 00:36:50,760
song just Take My Heart by mister Big.

762
00:36:50,880 --> 00:36:53,320
Speaker 2: Oh, okay from Yeah I remember that one.

763
00:36:53,440 --> 00:36:57,199
Speaker 4: Yeah, mister Big was kind of hot for a moment.

764
00:36:57,280 --> 00:37:00,320
Speaker 5: They're in They're nice to Big for a second, they

765
00:37:00,480 --> 00:37:01,119
were mister.

766
00:37:01,000 --> 00:37:03,039
Speaker 2: Bag for a second. Yes, I've got a great story

767
00:37:03,039 --> 00:37:04,440
about this song, okay, okay.

768
00:37:04,920 --> 00:37:09,599
Speaker 1: So during live performances, Huey Lewis has been surprised before

769
00:37:09,719 --> 00:37:10,519
by Chris Berman.

770
00:37:10,639 --> 00:37:12,239
Speaker 5: He's a famous ESPN personality.

771
00:37:12,400 --> 00:37:14,599
Speaker 1: Right, so they asked him, what do you get up

772
00:37:14,639 --> 00:37:17,599
on stage and sing walking on a fin line? Right

773
00:37:17,760 --> 00:37:20,239
with Huey Lewis, he said, because if I sing power

774
00:37:20,280 --> 00:37:21,320
of Love there'll be a riot.

775
00:37:25,280 --> 00:37:29,159
Speaker 2: And you know what, he's probably right Okay, So interestingly, yes,

776
00:37:29,239 --> 00:37:32,599
and you say that this song was the last single

777
00:37:32,719 --> 00:37:36,079
released off of this album, right, The next single power

778
00:37:36,119 --> 00:37:37,320
of Love? Right?

779
00:37:37,639 --> 00:37:43,960
Speaker 1: Yes, moving on, okay, the next song is called Finally

780
00:37:44,000 --> 00:37:54,880
Found a Home. Okay, So this has got some strong

781
00:37:54,960 --> 00:37:56,280
guitar work here at the beginning, right here.

782
00:37:56,320 --> 00:37:58,480
Speaker 2: Oh, absolutely, I love it and it's an acoustic guitar

783
00:37:59,119 --> 00:38:01,119
that they've got going. This could I mean, this could

784
00:38:01,119 --> 00:38:04,119
be a Tesla song when it starts out right, nice this,

785
00:38:04,320 --> 00:38:07,039
I mean this is and Tesla isn't coming along for

786
00:38:07,079 --> 00:38:09,760
a little bit now right Again, we have a completely

787
00:38:09,880 --> 00:38:13,239
different style of song that they're doing here. And what

788
00:38:13,400 --> 00:38:15,480
I love about this song is how it kind of

789
00:38:16,199 --> 00:38:18,519
sums up what's happened to Huey Lewis at this point.

790
00:38:18,639 --> 00:38:21,199
You know, everybody expects all of these great things from

791
00:38:21,280 --> 00:38:23,039
him because he's the guy who got the eight hundred

792
00:38:23,079 --> 00:38:26,039
on the math portion of the act, right, He's the

793
00:38:26,119 --> 00:38:29,079
guy who had the promising pitch your arm, who was

794
00:38:29,159 --> 00:38:31,159
going to go to you know, Winter Cornell was going

795
00:38:31,199 --> 00:38:34,039
to be a success, and then he spent eleven years

796
00:38:34,199 --> 00:38:38,199
failing around him, right, failing, only to have that band

797
00:38:38,320 --> 00:38:41,599
break up and become a house band somewhere and just

798
00:38:41,719 --> 00:38:46,079
by like I said, the best hustle move ever manages

799
00:38:46,360 --> 00:38:48,519
to do it. But he always stuck with doing what

800
00:38:48,599 --> 00:38:51,480
he loved. He didn't compromise what he wanted to do,

801
00:38:52,199 --> 00:38:55,400
and ultimately he found his home in that song nice Nice,

802
00:38:55,480 --> 00:38:55,840
I love it.

803
00:38:55,960 --> 00:38:57,320
Speaker 5: His hard work paid off.

804
00:38:57,480 --> 00:39:13,679
Speaker 2: Yeah, he finally kind of this one could have been

805
00:39:13,679 --> 00:39:14,079
a single.

806
00:39:14,280 --> 00:39:15,559
Speaker 5: This is a great song of it.

807
00:39:15,880 --> 00:39:17,960
Speaker 1: If this, if you put this on you know, top

808
00:39:18,039 --> 00:39:20,159
forty radio, and you put a cool video with this, this.

809
00:39:20,280 --> 00:39:20,639
Speaker 2: Is a hit.

810
00:39:20,960 --> 00:39:23,599
Speaker 4: Yeah, I'm convinced. I'd love to hear Tesla sings.

811
00:39:26,199 --> 00:39:28,199
Speaker 2: That'd be good. We got to call Frank Hannon up.

812
00:39:28,280 --> 00:39:30,079
All right, would you guys do a cover of this

813
00:39:30,199 --> 00:39:31,079
song for us please?

814
00:39:31,239 --> 00:39:33,400
Speaker 5: Okay, so we're done with Finally Found a Home. Now

815
00:39:33,440 --> 00:39:36,280
we're moving in to my favorite song on the album.

816
00:39:36,199 --> 00:39:36,760
Speaker 1: If This is it?

817
00:39:53,599 --> 00:39:53,960
Speaker 2: All right?

818
00:39:54,079 --> 00:39:57,360
Speaker 1: That guitar right there, it just sings right, It's just

819
00:39:57,480 --> 00:40:01,159
a it's just a melodic guitar, and it's almost sad.

820
00:40:01,239 --> 00:40:02,519
It's a great breakup song.

821
00:40:02,639 --> 00:40:05,039
Speaker 2: You know, it is a great breakup song. That's right.

822
00:40:05,280 --> 00:40:08,559
That's it is the perfect music to go with the

823
00:40:08,679 --> 00:40:11,599
lyrics of this song because it is such a great song.

824
00:40:11,760 --> 00:40:15,519
This is solid guitar, but it's so hooky. Yeah, yeah,

825
00:40:15,639 --> 00:40:17,119
I mean that the.

826
00:40:17,199 --> 00:40:19,239
Speaker 5: Line at the beginning, I feel the pain.

827
00:40:19,400 --> 00:40:23,440
Speaker 1: I heard you say, tell am, I'm not heartbreak?

828
00:40:23,480 --> 00:40:25,000
Speaker 5: How does heartbreak is heartbreak?

829
00:40:25,199 --> 00:40:26,119

Speaker 1: Okay, So this was their fourth single, released April tenth,

834
00:40:37,199 --> 00:40:41,119
nineteen eighty four. To me, this song is the summer

835
00:40:41,159 --> 00:40:42,000
of nineteen eighty four.

836
00:40:42,239 --> 00:40:44,920
Speaker 2: This song was on a lot all the time, a

837
00:40:45,239 --> 00:40:46,039
lot for sure.

838
00:40:46,400 --> 00:40:49,280
Speaker 1: So we are going through this incredible run through summer

839
00:40:49,320 --> 00:40:52,239
of eighty four and this song was all huge.

840
00:40:52,320 --> 00:40:55,360
Speaker 3: Oh my gosh, Yes, yes, this is it.

841
00:40:59,000 --> 00:41:17,159
Speaker 1: No, as we've gone track by track for this, yes,

842
00:41:17,280 --> 00:41:19,920
I've said, pay attention to the chart toppers, yes, okay,

843
00:41:20,119 --> 00:41:22,280
and where they finish Okay, Hard and Soul went to

844
00:41:22,400 --> 00:41:25,559
number eight, Hard rock and roll number six, Yes, I

845
00:41:25,639 --> 00:41:28,639
want a new drug number six. If this is it

846
00:41:29,159 --> 00:41:31,559
third consecutive number six.

847
00:41:31,880 --> 00:41:33,559
Speaker 2: That's got to be frustrating, I'm telling you.

848
00:41:33,880 --> 00:41:35,679
Speaker 4: Is it frustrating or is it like, yeah, we did

849

00:41:36,239 --> 00:41:38,320
Speaker 2: I mean yeah, I mean I bet at number three,

851
00:41:38,360 --> 00:41:40,360
they're like, can we just crack the top five?

852
00:41:40,440 --> 00:41:41,239
Speaker 5: I know, it's crazy.

853
00:41:41,519 --> 00:41:43,920
Speaker 1: Well, so none of them reached the top five. That's

854
00:41:43,960 --> 00:41:50,840

00:46:08,920 --> 00:46:11,639
like after the show, like they'd come and meet them,

939

you know, try to corner them in the parking lot

940
00:46:14,119 --> 00:46:16,400
or whatever. Before they were super big and famous, like

941
00:46:16,480 --> 00:46:19,679
when they were playing at Uncle Charlie's, they would have

942
00:46:19,760 --> 00:46:21,920
these people that constantly could just kind of came up

943
00:46:22,000 --> 00:46:24,559
and just did all of these annoying things, or were

944
00:46:24,639 --> 00:46:27,920
obviously high or thought they were a star already, And

945
00:46:28,320 --> 00:46:30,920

946
00:46:30,960 --> 00:46:32,960

00:48:46,480 --> 00:48:48,840
country guy either, but this is good. This is good

992
00:48:48,960 --> 00:48:49,679
country music.

993
00:48:49,920 --> 00:48:50,199
Speaker 1: Okay.

994
00:48:50,280 --> 00:48:53,519
Speaker 2: Plus it shows the versatility of this band. Who's given

995
00:48:53,599 --> 00:48:56,760
us pop and new wave and blues and do wop

996
00:48:56,840 --> 00:48:59,239
and now they come and they give us what the

997
00:48:59,360 --> 00:48:59,880
monkey dog.

998
00:49:00,079 --> 00:49:03,840
Speaker 5: Listen, this is versus country. They are showing off their versatility.

999
00:49:03,840 --> 00:49:06,159
I cannot argue with that. It sounds like a great

1000
00:49:06,199 --> 00:49:07,880
country song. I'm just not a big country guy.

1001
00:49:07,960 --> 00:49:10,800
Speaker 1: I would rather have another new wave, pop, radio friendly

1002
00:49:10,880 --> 00:49:11,320
hit this.

1003
00:49:11,840 --> 00:49:12,079
Speaker 2: Yeah.

1004
00:49:12,519 --> 00:49:14,639
Speaker 5: Can we exchange this one for power of Love and

1005
00:49:14,760 --> 00:49:15,679
just trade them right out?

1006
00:49:17,480 --> 00:49:20,239
Speaker 2: Okay, that's fine, we can turned off. We turned off.

1007
00:49:20,840 --> 00:49:24,119
It's kind of soured I full experience. I am sorry,

1008
00:49:24,480 --> 00:49:26,360
I am sorry. I can't believe you said there's a skipper.

1009
00:49:26,440 --> 00:49:27,800
But that's all right, You're just wrong.

1010
00:49:28,039 --> 00:49:30,320
Speaker 5: I'm just ready to get back to harder rock and roll,

1011
00:49:30,480 --> 00:49:31,039
you know, all right?

1012
00:49:31,159 --> 00:49:34,199
Speaker 2: All right, fair enough, Okay, So this is the end

1013
00:49:34,239 --> 00:49:34,679
of the album.

1014
00:49:34,800 --> 00:49:37,360
Speaker 1: Yes, HiT's stop on your tape player, kick an afflip,

1015
00:49:37,360 --> 00:49:38,639
But I'll return it back to hard rock and roll

1016
00:49:38,639 --> 00:49:39,079
and restart.

1017
00:49:39,280 --> 00:49:42,559
Speaker 2: Yeah, okay, or grab your Back to the Future soundtrack

1018
00:49:42,679 --> 00:49:45,719
throw it in, because man, what a freaking good soundtrack

1019
00:49:45,840 --> 00:49:51,239
that was. We are into final judgment, Okay, am I

1020
00:49:51,320 --> 00:49:51,840
going first?

1021
00:49:51,960 --> 00:49:53,320
Speaker 5: I went first last time, your first?

1022
00:49:53,360 --> 00:50:04,960
Speaker 2: This time? Okay. So here's what I gotta say, all right.

1023
00:50:05,159 --> 00:50:10,000
The songs on Huey Lewis and The New Sports are

1024
00:50:10,360 --> 00:50:15,199
all ear candy. They're wonderful, And it took me a

1025
00:50:15,320 --> 00:50:19,199
little while to fall in love with Bruce Springsteen Born

1026
00:50:19,239 --> 00:50:21,639
in the Usa. But I realized what the difference was,

1027
00:50:21,840 --> 00:50:24,960
and it took an experience of life to make happen.

1028
00:50:25,400 --> 00:50:28,280
When I'm in my car and the sun is out

1029
00:50:28,400 --> 00:50:30,599
and it's summertime and I want to have fun, I'm

1030
00:50:30,679 --> 00:50:33,320
listening to Hugh Lewis in The New Sports. When I've

1031
00:50:33,440 --> 00:50:36,079
just had an argument with my wife and it's late

1032
00:50:36,119 --> 00:50:39,519
at night and I'm driving fast and angry. I need

1033
00:50:39,880 --> 00:50:44,000
those deep, picture painting lyrics of Born in the USA.

1034
00:50:44,440 --> 00:50:46,760
So which album I'm gonna pick when I'm walking out

1035
00:50:46,800 --> 00:50:50,559
the door depends on which situation I'm in, all right,

1036
00:50:50,840 --> 00:50:55,199
But I gotta say as good as Born in the

1037
00:50:55,320 --> 00:51:00,400
USA is and it is fantastic. It is fantastic lyrics,

1038
00:51:00,760 --> 00:51:05,519
no question, better deeper lyrics. But for pure listening pleasure,

1039
00:51:05,599 --> 00:51:07,679
I got to pick Hue listen to the news, sports,

1040
00:51:08,159 --> 00:51:11,320
so good, so much a part of my youth growing up.

1041
00:51:11,559 --> 00:51:12,320
That's where it is form.

1042
00:51:12,440 --> 00:51:13,119
Speaker 4: Okay, where you're at.

1043
00:51:19,679 --> 00:51:22,199
Speaker 1: Basically, that's the exact same way that I feel. Born

1044
00:51:22,239 --> 00:51:29,079
in the USA has deep, meaningful, poignant, serious even songs. Okay,

1045
00:51:29,519 --> 00:51:31,400
now there are a few exceptions. I think Glory Days

1046
00:51:31,480 --> 00:51:35,639
is great fun and it is ear candy. Yep, Glory

1047
00:51:35,719 --> 00:51:37,559
Days is a top down, turn it up song.

1048
00:51:37,519 --> 00:51:41,440
Speaker 2: My favorite favorite song of his. Overall, I think I.

1049
00:51:41,440 --> 00:51:42,280
Speaker 5: Think so too right.

1050
00:51:42,760 --> 00:51:44,440
Speaker 1: You know, Born in the USA we talked about how

1051
00:51:44,519 --> 00:51:47,960
that is a not quite what you think it's about song,

1052
00:51:48,880 --> 00:51:52,159
And then they have some some more subdued songs like

1053
00:51:52,239 --> 00:51:56,719
I'm on Fire and Hometown and so Great, iconic, huge

1054
00:51:56,760 --> 00:52:00,440
seller of nineteen eighty four, deeply ingrained in the mid eighties.

1055
00:52:01,039 --> 00:52:04,159
But for me, I'm a feel good guy, and Huey

1056
00:52:04,239 --> 00:52:06,280
Lewis is all about feel good music. So if I'm

1057
00:52:06,320 --> 00:52:08,400
walking out the door, it would have to be a rainy,

1058
00:52:08,480 --> 00:52:09,199
stormy day.

1059
00:52:09,280 --> 00:52:11,440
Speaker 5: For me to grant Born in the Usa over sports.

1060
00:52:11,719 --> 00:52:14,440
Speaker 1: Right for me, it's almost always going to be sports.

1061
00:52:14,760 --> 00:52:17,000
Speaker 2: All right, we're on the same page again. How about

1062
