We have a very special episode tonight. 3 00:00:15,320 --> 00:00:17,600 We are going back thirty five years in time. 4 00:00:18,000 --> 00:00:20,960 Speaker 2: But before we do that, how you doing, buddy, Well? 5 00:00:21,199 --> 00:00:23,640 I went to a party last Saturday night, didn't get 6 00:00:23,719 --> 00:00:26,800 laid and got in a fight, which is probably good 7 00:00:26,800 --> 00:00:28,440 because it hadn't been the other way around, my wife 8 00:00:28,440 --> 00:00:29,679 would have been really mad. 9 00:00:30,679 --> 00:00:31,519 Speaker 1: It ain't no big thing. 10 00:00:34,159 --> 00:00:38,359 Speaker 2: Yes, nineteen eighty eight the year that the King of 11 00:00:38,439 --> 00:00:41,640 pop still held his throne, but the hair bands were 12 00:00:41,679 --> 00:00:42,640 storming the gates. 13 00:00:42,799 --> 00:00:45,359 Speaker 1: Yes, yes, yes, I can't wait to talk about. This 14 00:00:45,439 --> 00:00:47,520 is like my wheelhouse, man, I know this is so 15 00:00:47,640 --> 00:00:48,359 in your wheelhouse. 16 00:00:48,399 --> 00:00:51,079 Speaker 2: Now. We've got a few albums from nineteen eighty eight 17 00:00:51,159 --> 00:00:53,920 that we've covered before. We did nineteen eighty three, the 18 00:00:53,960 --> 00:00:56,759 Best of nineteen eighty three earlier this year, and obviously 19 00:00:56,880 --> 00:01:00,679 Michael Jackson's nineteen eighty two album Thriller was its huge 20 00:01:00,880 --> 00:01:03,399 and I think you've had two on your top five 21 00:01:03,439 --> 00:01:06,079 from that album. I had won myself same one, Okay. 22 00:01:06,280 --> 00:01:09,159 Now in nineteen eighty eight we got Michael Jackson has 23 00:01:09,280 --> 00:01:12,319 just released Bad in nineteen eighty seven, and again he's 24 00:01:12,400 --> 00:01:14,920 all over the place. So I'm pretty confident I can 25 00:01:14,959 --> 00:01:17,280 guess where at least one of your artists is going 26 00:01:17,359 --> 00:01:18,159 to be on the top five. 27 00:01:18,239 --> 00:01:20,560 Speaker 1: Hey, you know what else just kind of mirroring that 28 00:01:20,760 --> 00:01:24,480 same track is def Leppard You got it? Pyromania. Then 29 00:01:24,560 --> 00:01:28,879 five years later here comes Hysteria and same type of deals. 30 00:01:29,079 --> 00:01:31,719 It's perfectly in tune with eighty three and eighty eight. 31 00:01:31,760 --> 00:01:33,799 Speaker 2: And these are exactly the guys that we were talking 32 00:01:33,799 --> 00:01:36,599 about when we were running together back in two thousand 33 00:01:36,719 --> 00:01:39,879 and eight, I know, right, fifteen years ago. Can you 34 00:01:39,879 --> 00:01:42,000 believe that fifteen years ago we were talking about these 35 00:01:42,040 --> 00:01:44,560 bands and now here we are talking about them again. 36 00:01:44,599 --> 00:01:45,239 Isn't that crazy? 37 00:01:45,319 --> 00:01:47,120 Speaker 1: It's great, man, I'm having so much fun. I'm so 38 00:01:47,159 --> 00:01:47,719 glad we do this. 39 00:01:48,000 --> 00:01:50,560 Speaker 2: Yes, well, it was fun to jump into eighty eight 40 00:01:50,959 --> 00:01:54,000 before we get fully into our top five. Though. I 41 00:01:54,040 --> 00:01:57,840 got a question, yes, which was harder to pick your 42 00:01:57,840 --> 00:02:01,000 top five from nineteen eighty three or five from nineteen 43 00:02:01,000 --> 00:02:01,439 eighty eight? 44 00:02:01,560 --> 00:02:04,599 Speaker 1: Eighty eight? Harmer set Really yes, it was totally the 45 00:02:04,640 --> 00:02:05,239 other way for me. 46 00:02:05,400 --> 00:02:09,159 Speaker 2: Really like this one. I had. I had two songs 47 00:02:09,159 --> 00:02:11,560 that I was kind of waffling on number five, but 48 00:02:11,840 --> 00:02:14,000 other than that, it was an easy five pick for me. 49 00:02:14,120 --> 00:02:15,719 There's plenty of songs that I like, but there was 50 00:02:15,719 --> 00:02:18,120 no question about what my top five were. Okay, with 51 00:02:18,319 --> 00:02:21,520 eighty three, I had two pages worth of songs that 52 00:02:21,560 --> 00:02:22,840 I was like, it could be any of these. 53 00:02:22,960 --> 00:02:25,560 Speaker 1: See that's the exact opposite for me. I had children 54 00:02:26,000 --> 00:02:27,639 that I had to cut off and kick out of 55 00:02:27,680 --> 00:02:31,319 the house. Like the ones that I left off. I'm 56 00:02:31,360 --> 00:02:33,960 like bleeding that they're not on this list, but hey, 57 00:02:34,039 --> 00:02:34,759 it is what it is. 58 00:02:34,919 --> 00:02:38,759 Speaker 2: Yeah, okay, Jason. Before we jump into these songs, we 59 00:02:38,919 --> 00:02:41,400 have to give a shout out to our executive producer, 60 00:02:41,800 --> 00:02:43,080 Miss Melissa Mingle. 61 00:02:43,199 --> 00:02:45,240 Speaker 1: What's up, Melissa?

I've written my notes in code over 141 00:06:17,360 --> 00:06:19,199 here so that you can't even peek and try to 142 00:06:19,199 --> 00:06:21,000 figure it out. But this is just to let you 143 00:06:21,000 --> 00:06:22,720 guys know. This is the way we do it on 144 00:06:22,720 --> 00:06:24,839 our Patreon episodes. When we're at the end of the 145 00:06:24,879 --> 00:06:28,319 episode and it's one person's turn to choose, we give 146 00:06:28,399 --> 00:06:30,480 little clues and let the other guy try to guess it. 147 00:06:30,560 --> 00:06:32,120 And so that's what we're gonna do now. And I'm 148 00:06:32,120 --> 00:06:34,639 gonna let Jason start us off. Give me a couple 149 00:06:34,639 --> 00:06:37,879 of clues. I'm just just one guess, and then you 150 00:06:38,079 --> 00:06:39,480 have to tell me yes or no when we go. 151 00:06:39,480 --> 00:06:44,240 Speaker 1: All right, all right, right, all right, five, all right, 152 00:06:44,240 --> 00:06:48,519 here we go. So this song was inspired by a 153 00:06:48,600 --> 00:06:53,000 cough and starts with a sigh. 154 00:06:53,439 --> 00:06:55,199 Speaker 2: I think this may be a song that I have 155 00:06:55,319 --> 00:06:55,839 as well. 156 00:06:56,079 --> 00:06:57,560 Speaker 1: Okay, is it? 157 00:06:57,959 --> 00:06:59,759 Speaker 2: Every rose has its thorn by poison? 158 00:07:00,319 --> 00:07:02,120 Speaker 1: Every rose has this thorn by poison. 159 00:07:07,680 --> 00:07:11,959 Speaker 2: I did not know that it was. Oh now I know. Now, 160 00:07:12,000 --> 00:07:15,759 I know what it is. Okay. I knew the inspiration, 161 00:07:15,879 --> 00:07:19,120 but I didn't realize what the sound was. I got you, okay, 162 00:07:19,680 --> 00:07:22,839 So if I may, yes. So this song was written 163 00:07:22,879 --> 00:07:27,800 by Brett Michaels, lead singer for Poison Yes, and he 164 00:07:28,000 --> 00:07:30,360 was on the road. He had a girlfriend named Tracy 165 00:07:30,600 --> 00:07:33,480 he called home, and what I had in my notes 166 00:07:33,560 --> 00:07:36,680 was that he heard a man in the background. What 167 00:07:36,720 --> 00:07:39,360 you're telling me from your clue is he heard the 168 00:07:39,399 --> 00:07:40,319 manly cough. 169 00:07:40,600 --> 00:07:43,439 Speaker 1: Yeah, I've heard Brett Michaels actually say this. He was 170 00:07:43,439 --> 00:07:46,560 talking to his girlfriend and in the background he heard 171 00:07:46,600 --> 00:07:53,160 a male and he's like, who in the heck is there? Right? 172 00:07:53,279 --> 00:07:54,839 Speaker 2: Yeah, somebody getting a physical. 173 00:07:54,680 --> 00:07:59,199 Speaker 1: Yes exactly, And so that led him to believe that 174 00:07:59,279 --> 00:08:02,040 his girlfriend, we'll see another man in that broke his heart. 175 00:08:02,079 --> 00:08:03,560 He was on the road in Dallas. 176 00:08:03,720 --> 00:08:06,480 Speaker 2: So since that's on my list, let's keep talking about 177 00:08:06,480 --> 00:08:08,399 that one when we get a little bit higher on 178 00:08:08,439 --> 00:08:11,319 the list, and I'll give you my clue, okay for 179 00:08:11,480 --> 00:08:12,120 my number five? 180 00:08:12,120 --> 00:08:16,439 Speaker 1: Alrighty, you're ready, Okay five. 181 00:08:16,680 --> 00:08:20,680 Speaker 2: The title character of this song. It was confusing for 182 00:08:20,720 --> 00:08:22,560 a lot of people for a while until the lead 183 00:08:22,600 --> 00:08:26,040 singer finally set the record straight in a rare explanation 184 00:08:26,079 --> 00:08:30,160 of one of his songs. The song is about Tipper 185 00:08:30,240 --> 00:08:32,639 Gore of the p m RC. 186 00:08:33,240 --> 00:08:41,039 Speaker 1: Wow Ah wowd thing by tone low no good good, 187 00:08:41,080 --> 00:08:42,960 try good try Okay. 188 00:08:43,039 --> 00:08:47,200 Speaker 2: So the song is mother Bye Danzig. 189 00:08:52,919 --> 00:08:54,120 Speaker 1: Wow Okay. 190 00:08:54,440 --> 00:08:57,759 Speaker 2: Right. So this song came out in nineteen eighty eight, 191 00:08:58,039 --> 00:09:01,679 which to me, I mean, holy cow's awesome, right. 192 00:09:02,000 --> 00:09:06,960 Speaker 1: Well, tell you two to noths of what my was. 193 00:09:07,919 --> 00:09:11,519 Speaker 2: But most folks didn't really know it for five years. 194 00:09:11,639 --> 00:09:15,360 Like you had your Misfits fans and Danzig fans that 195 00:09:15,399 --> 00:09:17,720 were familiar with this song. Yeah, but it wasn't until 196 00:09:17,759 --> 00:09:20,759 nineteen ninety three when they remixed it. Made it sound 197 00:09:20,879 --> 00:09:24,600 like a live recording, like a on stage recording, but 198 00:09:24,720 --> 00:09:27,639 really they just dubbed in crowd voices. And then they 199 00:09:27,679 --> 00:09:31,000 also released the video from one of their Halloween shows 200 00:09:31,000 --> 00:09:33,720 I think of ninety two, and that was when this 201 00:09:33,799 --> 00:09:38,360 thing skyrocketed, but release was nineteen eighty eight. 202 00:09:38,600 --> 00:09:39,120 Speaker 1: Interesting. 203 00:09:39,360 --> 00:09:43,360 Speaker 2: So Glenn Danzig formed the Misfits as kind of a 204 00:09:43,440 --> 00:09:47,240 rebellion against the pop rock of the time, Journey, those 205 00:09:47,320 --> 00:09:50,559 kind of things. And so you's not gonna like he's 206 00:09:50,559 --> 00:09:52,679 not gonna like that. We probably will not like your list. 207 00:09:53,159 --> 00:09:56,080 He is not radio friendly guy. Yeah, Okay, So Glenn 208 00:09:56,240 --> 00:09:59,639 Danzig has the Misfits, which I've seen their shirts all 209 00:09:59,639 --> 00:10:03,799 over the and I didn't realize, like, yeah, yeah, exactly 210 00:10:03,960 --> 00:10:06,159 a cool font on it, which I think they kept 211 00:10:06,159 --> 00:10:08,960 for the Danzig stuff. But anyway, he goes on to 212 00:10:09,039 --> 00:10:13,480 form another band named Sahan, and in nineteen eighty seven, 213 00:10:13,919 --> 00:10:16,200 a guy that we've talked about before when we had 214 00:10:16,279 --> 00:10:20,240 our episode with Def Dave himself, a producer happens to 215 00:10:20,320 --> 00:10:22,639 catch the Sam Haynes show and he comes up to 216 00:10:22,679 --> 00:10:26,480 Glenn Danzig afterwards, and he's like, Hey, you're awesome. Your 217 00:10:26,480 --> 00:10:29,279 group kind of sucks. How about we form a power group. 218 00:10:29,559 --> 00:10:34,159 So Rick Rubin says to Glenn Danzig, let's start a 219 00:10:34,159 --> 00:10:37,120 new band.

He is John Christ, Yes, and most 224 00:10:47,480 --> 00:10:52,840 people do not associate Christian values with dan Zig, but yes. 225 00:10:52,759 --> 00:10:58,360 Speaker 1: John Jesus himself, right, yeah, okay. 226 00:10:58,759 --> 00:11:01,799 Speaker 2: And then of course we have Beavis and butt Heead 227 00:11:02,159 --> 00:11:05,559 love this song, and as they're watching the video say, 228 00:11:05,840 --> 00:11:08,559 I bet he scores with chicks and gets in fights 229 00:11:08,600 --> 00:11:08,879 a lot. 230 00:11:10,320 --> 00:11:12,399 Speaker 1: Anytime we can bring up Beavis a butt Heead, it's 231 00:11:12,399 --> 00:11:14,440 a win.

I think the only clue that I can 283 00:13:56,559 --> 00:13:59,360 give you is going to be a dead giveaway. 284 00:13:59,519 --> 00:13:59,799 Speaker 1: Okay. 285 00:14:00,120 --> 00:14:02,559 Speaker 2: So just like my number five, this was a song 286 00:14:02,600 --> 00:14:04,799 that came out in eighty eight but didn't hit it 287 00:14:04,799 --> 00:14:06,039 big until the nineties. 288 00:14:06,320 --> 00:14:07,000 Speaker 1: So what is this? 289 00:14:07,279 --> 00:14:11,399 Speaker 2: Even later in the nineties, this group became popular because 290 00:14:11,480 --> 00:14:15,399 of a band we've covered, Nirvana, who said Kurt Cobain said, 291 00:14:15,519 --> 00:14:18,840 all he was trying to do was imitate this band. 292 00:14:19,279 --> 00:14:22,440 And then the song became super big in my mind, 293 00:14:22,480 --> 00:14:25,080 maybe for others earlier than this, but in my mind 294 00:14:25,159 --> 00:14:29,080 became super big when it was the conclusion song of 295 00:14:29,120 --> 00:14:30,559 the movie Fight Club. 296 00:14:31,720 --> 00:14:33,519 Speaker 1: So I remember the end of Fight Club and all 297 00:14:33,559 --> 00:14:35,919 the buildings come down? Is this the Pixie song? 298 00:14:36,120 --> 00:14:36,679 Speaker 2: You got it? 299 00:14:36,759 --> 00:14:37,200 Speaker 1: Okay? 300 00:14:37,399 --> 00:14:49,960 Speaker 2: The name of the song is where Is My Mind? Okay? Now, 301 00:14:50,000 --> 00:14:52,000 I gotta tell you this. This is a beautiful piece 302 00:14:52,080 --> 00:14:55,919 right here. They took a que from weird Al Yankovic 303 00:14:55,960 --> 00:14:59,679 when they recorded this song, and that eerie little that 304 00:14:59,759 --> 00:15:02,440 you're hearing they recorded it in the bathroom. 305 00:15:02,919 --> 00:15:03,360 Speaker 1: Oh wow. 306 00:15:03,399 --> 00:15:07,120 Speaker 2: Okay, yeah, So that is one of the musicians, one 307 00:15:07,120 --> 00:15:10,320 of the not lead singers of the band, named Kim Deal. 308 00:15:10,600 --> 00:15:13,039 She was the real deal. She was very good. She 309 00:15:13,120 --> 00:15:15,000 kind of got frustrated at the fact that she kept 310 00:15:15,080 --> 00:15:18,639 getting pushed to the side because Frank Black, the lead singer, 311 00:15:18,799 --> 00:15:21,559 kind of was I mean it self admitted egocentric guy 312 00:15:21,919 --> 00:15:25,120 and wanted to sing his own stuff. Well. Ultimately, the 313 00:15:25,159 --> 00:15:28,399 Pixies broke up after a very short amount of time 314 00:15:28,480 --> 00:15:31,559 being a band together because of this ongoing fight. Kim 315 00:15:31,720 --> 00:15:34,279 Deal then goes on to form a group with her 316 00:15:34,320 --> 00:15:36,120 sister called the Breeders. 317 00:15:36,360 --> 00:15:37,360 Speaker 1: Okay, there you go. 318 00:15:37,440 --> 00:15:41,919 Speaker 2: Okay, So this song where is My Mind inspired by 319 00:15:42,000 --> 00:15:46,039 a snorkeling trip where a fish kept following Frank Black 320 00:15:46,080 --> 00:15:49,200 around and trying to figure out what was going on 321 00:15:49,399 --> 00:15:52,440 with this weird snorkler guy, and this is what inspired 322 00:15:52,679 --> 00:15:55,759 the lyrics to this song. Interesting, it has been used 323 00:15:55,879 --> 00:16:00,759 countless times in various movies and shows specific Fight Club, 324 00:16:00,799 --> 00:16:04,159 but usually it happens when somebody is questioning reality. 325 00:16:04,919 --> 00:16:06,639 Speaker 1: So to me, this is a more of a ninety 326 00:16:06,720 --> 00:16:10,039 song just because of Fight Club. That's where it rests. 327 00:16:09,799 --> 00:16:13,240 Speaker 2: In my mind, absolutely. And what's interesting is they broke 328 00:16:13,320 --> 00:16:16,679 up long before Fight Club happened, obviously, and then in 329 00:16:16,759 --> 00:16:19,360 ninety three with Kurt Cobain talking about how much the 330 00:16:19,399 --> 00:16:22,240 Pixies meant to him with Fight Club coming out, in 331 00:16:22,360 --> 00:16:26,120 ninety nine they get this cult following, and sure enough, 332 00:16:26,120 --> 00:16:28,360 in two thousand and four they get back together again 333 00:16:28,799 --> 00:16:32,639 after geez over a decade of being a part and 334 00:16:33,360 --> 00:16:36,440 start touring. Do you know James Buckley some money or something? 335 00:16:36,519 --> 00:16:38,639 Because I know he and I have the same taste 336 00:16:38,679 --> 00:16:42,000 in certain circumstances, There's some overlap there. But yes, my 337 00:16:42,200 --> 00:16:45,159 top my number five and my number four both were 338 00:16:45,200 --> 00:16:45,759 on his list. 339 00:16:45,840 --> 00:16:47,919 Speaker 1: Okay, and I'm gonna mention this at the end when 340 00:16:47,919 --> 00:16:50,639 we look at David Wright's list. I had my list 341 00:16:50,679 --> 00:16:53,799 written down before David Wrights is in. Okay, I'm just 342 00:16:53,840 --> 00:16:54,639 throwing that out there, all. 343 00:16:54,639 --> 00:16:57,639 Speaker 2: Right, Very good, very good, Okay, Okay, Now Jason, we're 344 00:16:57,759 --> 00:17:03,080 to your number three. What have you got three? 345 00:17:03,720 --> 00:17:07,720 Speaker 1: Okay? So my number three is the song that we 346 00:17:07,759 --> 00:17:13,039 have already deep dived on. This song was written about 347 00:17:13,119 --> 00:17:16,759 Aaron Everley, daughter of one of the Everly brothers. Yes, 348 00:17:17,160 --> 00:17:18,079 you already know what it is. 349 00:17:18,559 --> 00:17:20,759 Speaker 2: I can tell you the band anyway. 350 00:17:20,640 --> 00:17:26,519 Speaker 1: This started as a joke. Slash. The guitarist was warming 351 00:17:26,599 --> 00:17:29,400 up and decided that he was going to try to 352 00:17:29,400 --> 00:17:31,119 make circus music with his guitar. 353 00:17:31,359 --> 00:17:33,200 Speaker 2: Yes, so this is guns n' Roses. 354 00:17:33,599 --> 00:17:38,279 Speaker 1: This is not Paradise City, right, This is not. 355 00:17:38,680 --> 00:17:43,200 Speaker 2: Welcome to the Jungle.

It's depressing. 360 00:18:05,440 --> 00:18:07,039 Speaker 1: It is depressed. Does it see money? 361 00:18:07,400 --> 00:18:09,960 Speaker 2: I don't know. I don't know. But literally yesterday we 362 00:18:09,960 --> 00:18:12,759 were watching something that ad came on and Brock is like, 363 00:18:13,240 --> 00:18:16,039 who is that? And I'm like Slash.

This song reached number one in 369 00:18:30,480 --> 00:18:33,799 September of nineteen eighty eight, and I would argue was 370 00:18:33,880 --> 00:18:38,119 the rocket fuel that saved appetite for destruction. 371 00:18:37,880 --> 00:18:39,720 Speaker 2: Making Aaron Everlea the rocket Queen. 372 00:18:39,839 --> 00:18:44,359 Speaker 1: If you will, Yes, Sheryl Crow did a copy of 373 00:18:44,359 --> 00:18:47,160 this song, and this is one of the few eighties 374 00:18:47,240 --> 00:18:51,400 videos that has been viewed over a billion times on YouTube, 375 00:18:51,480 --> 00:18:55,000 along with Aha, which we covered on our Patreon episode 376 00:18:55,200 --> 00:18:57,400 If You're not following us on Patreon, you are missing 377 00:18:57,440 --> 00:18:59,480 some great stuff.

We've already 381 00:19:04,240 --> 00:19:07,240 covered Appetite for Destruction. That was one of our early 382 00:19:07,279 --> 00:19:10,680 episodes and we accidentally coincided with it's thirty fifth and 383 00:19:10,799 --> 00:19:12,359 a verse. You remember that. We just looked up and 384 00:19:12,359 --> 00:19:13,920 we're like, oh my gosh, Appetite for Destruction. 385 00:19:14,000 --> 00:19:16,799 Speaker 2: We did Appetite for Destruction versus Back and Black by 386 00:19:16,799 --> 00:19:19,640 ac DC, and that was one of the toughest choices 387 00:19:19,720 --> 00:19:23,119 we've ever had to make. That was a phenomenal matchup 388 00:19:23,160 --> 00:19:24,759 to phenomenal album. 389 00:19:24,839 --> 00:19:28,000 Speaker 1: Yes, the end of the song, Axel Rose was sitting 390 00:19:28,480 --> 00:19:30,880 with the producer and he was asking, how are we 391 00:19:30,920 --> 00:19:32,759 going to wrap up this song Sweech out of Mind? 392 00:19:32,799 --> 00:19:35,519 I don't really know, Like so he says, so where 393 00:19:35,559 --> 00:19:39,559 do we go? Like, where do we go now? And 394 00:19:39,599 --> 00:19:42,480 the producers like, bingo, that's it, finish it up. And 395 00:19:42,519 --> 00:19:45,319 that's how you get the where do we go now? 396 00:19:45,640 --> 00:19:49,240 Ding to Sweech out of Mine? Okay, d number three. 397 00:19:49,039 --> 00:19:54,960 Speaker 2: To you three all right, number three. As I mentioned before, 398 00:19:54,960 --> 00:19:57,039 it was on my list. I'm just going to tell 399 00:19:57,079 --> 00:20:00,480 you this is Every Rose Has Its Thorn. In my opinion, 400 00:20:00,559 --> 00:20:04,559 it is the definitive rock ballad of the eighties. I 401 00:20:04,599 --> 00:20:07,079 know you're picking Motley Crew for that, but for me, 402 00:20:07,519 --> 00:20:11,839 I'm spiking the football. This is the rock ballad of 403 00:20:11,920 --> 00:20:12,440 the eighties. 404 00:20:14,720 --> 00:20:20,960 Speaker 1: They don't want to read you love it. This was 405 00:20:20,960 --> 00:20:23,440 on my list at number five. Yeah, I told you 406 00:20:23,519 --> 00:20:26,400 I had a buddy for my fifteenth birthday. Gave me 407 00:20:26,680 --> 00:20:29,279 Open Up and Say Ah by Poison. And at the time, 408 00:20:29,400 --> 00:20:31,680 the only single released was Nothing but a Good Time, 409 00:20:31,720 --> 00:20:34,200 which could have easily been on this list, but it 410 00:20:34,279 --> 00:20:36,599 had I remember on the sticker it said contains the 411 00:20:36,680 --> 00:20:39,400 hit songs Nothing but a Good Time and Every Rose 412 00:20:39,440 --> 00:20:41,160 Has Its Thorn. And I remember at the time going, 413 00:20:41,279 --> 00:20:42,440 how do they know it's going to be a hit? 414 00:20:43,480 --> 00:20:46,960 Like they were convinced out of the gate that it 415 00:20:47,000 --> 00:20:47,720 was going to be a hit. 416 00:20:47,960 --> 00:20:49,960 Speaker 2: So here's the thing. They didn't want to release it 417 00:20:50,440 --> 00:20:54,160 as a single because it wasn't the heavy metal image 418 00:20:54,160 --> 00:20:56,279 that they were trying to give the band at the time. 419 00:20:56,839 --> 00:21:00,160 But they said, we've played this live several times. The 420 00:21:00,200 --> 00:21:03,680 crowd loves it. It is a rock ballad, not just 421 00:21:03,680 --> 00:21:05,880 a ballad. We think you should, and they pushed and 422 00:21:05,880 --> 00:21:07,640 they got it. They were successful. They were the ones 423 00:21:07,680 --> 00:21:10,920 that convinced the record company to release this as a single. 424 00:21:11,319 --> 00:21:16,200 But the first station that played this song was a 425 00:21:16,279 --> 00:21:19,240 country station out in Dallas, Texas. I know, right, So 426 00:21:19,400 --> 00:21:24,079 this song was number one rock, number one hop, and 427 00:21:24,640 --> 00:21:28,200 in the top forty for country. It's crazy. 428 00:21:28,400 --> 00:21:29,119 Speaker 1: It's fantastic. 429 00:21:29,200 --> 00:21:32,039 Speaker 2: And just to go back to our original story about him, 430 00:21:32,240 --> 00:21:35,480 you know, running into trouble with his girlfriend, the idea 431 00:21:35,799 --> 00:21:39,720 is that Rose is his career which is taken off, 432 00:21:40,160 --> 00:21:42,839 and the thorn is his relationship which is ending. 433 00:21:43,200 --> 00:21:45,400 Speaker 1: By the way, I saw an interview with her, Yeah, 434 00:21:45,440 --> 00:21:50,160 and she's like, he's accusing me of infidelity, which I 435 00:21:50,160 --> 00:21:50,920 thought was hilarious. 436 00:21:51,119 --> 00:21:54,119 Speaker 2: Well, rock musicians are kind of known for their double 437 00:21:54,160 --> 00:21:55,440 standards as far as they go. 438 00:21:55,599 --> 00:21:58,039 Speaker 1: I'm above this. I can sleep with whoever. I This 439 00:21:58,119 --> 00:21:59,160 is a perk of the job. 440 00:22:00,119 --> 00:22:03,599 Speaker 2: I am a rock star.

Next day, he was a laundromat and wrote 445 00:22:15,440 --> 00:22:17,759 this down inside of a laundermat. How cool was that? 446 00:22:17,799 --> 00:22:18,319 Speaker 1: It's awesome. 447 00:22:27,519 --> 00:22:30,640 Speaker 2: So guys, we're going to be covering this album in 448 00:22:30,920 --> 00:22:31,920 future episodes. 449 00:22:32,000 --> 00:22:35,119 Speaker 1: Poisons open up and say uh yes versus Living Colors 450 00:22:35,440 --> 00:22:38,559 Vivid album, both released on the same day in nineteen 451 00:22:38,599 --> 00:22:38,960 eighty eight. 452 00:22:39,039 --> 00:22:42,440 Speaker 2: Same day.

And well, Glenn Danzig 620 00:32:00,559 --> 00:32:04,000 is more interesting than the Escape Club, so Danzig wins 621 00:32:04,039 --> 00:32:12,839 out on this one. But I love the song. I 622 00:32:12,839 --> 00:32:15,720 think it's got staying power and talking about time capsules. 623 00:32:16,079 --> 00:32:18,359 The lyrics of this song. I mean, we're talking about 624 00:32:18,440 --> 00:32:21,079 nineteen eighty eight. It is the end of the Reagan era, 625 00:32:21,480 --> 00:32:24,160 and this song is two and four him, right, this 626 00:32:24,240 --> 00:32:26,759 is all kinds of stuff that are going on, living 627 00:32:26,799 --> 00:32:28,720 in the eighties, headed for the nineties. 628 00:32:28,839 --> 00:32:31,400 Speaker 1: I love it. It's a perfect time capsule, right, it is 629 00:32:31,640 --> 00:32:34,960 headed for the nineties, living in the eighties.

It 634 00:32:44,640 --> 00:32:54,799 was never Tear Us Apart by in excess, not even 635 00:32:54,839 --> 00:32:57,119 one of the best performers off of the album. There 636 00:32:57,160 --> 00:32:59,559 were other songs that charted far better than this one. 637 00:32:59,640 --> 00:33:02,759 It did chart super well, but to me, this song 638 00:33:03,079 --> 00:33:07,000 is killer and it stands the test of time as 639 00:33:07,079 --> 00:33:09,039 far as the songs off this album go. I love 640 00:33:09,079 --> 00:33:09,440 the song. 641 00:33:09,640 --> 00:33:12,880 Speaker 1: Hey, that is a fantastic song, and that album is fantastic. 642 00:33:12,920 --> 00:33:15,440 If you missed our inexcess Kick album, we went track 643 00:33:15,480 --> 00:33:19,519 by track that is packed full of fantastic songs, including 644 00:33:19,519 --> 00:33:22,240 Never Tear Us Apart, which was a near miss for me. 645 00:33:22,480 --> 00:33:25,920 Speaker 2: Now you had a rediscovery or a new discovery, what 646 00:33:25,960 --> 00:33:26,319 do you gut? 647 00:33:26,519 --> 00:33:29,920 Speaker 1: Okay, So for my rediscovery, it's a song by the 648 00:33:29,960 --> 00:33:33,119 pet Shop Boys, and they wanted to do a duet 649 00:33:33,160 --> 00:33:35,680 with an established artist, and they kicked around the idea 650 00:33:36,039 --> 00:33:39,640 of doing this duet with Barber Streisan or maybe Tina Turner, 651 00:33:40,000 --> 00:33:44,039 when their manager suggested, how about Dusty Springfield. 652 00:33:43,519 --> 00:33:44,720 Speaker 2: Son of a preacher man. 653 00:33:44,599 --> 00:33:46,559 Speaker 1: Son of a preacher man.

They both just kind of 735 00:38:53,800 --> 00:38:57,840 riffed noodled some lyrics into a microphone and then they 736 00:38:57,960 --> 00:39:00,239 just took that made the lyrics this song. 737 00:39:00,039 --> 00:39:03,519 Speaker 1: That's right. Joe Elliott heard Muttling's voice and said that 738 00:39:03,719 --> 00:39:06,559 sounds like the words love is like a bomb. 739 00:39:06,320 --> 00:39:09,880 Speaker 2: Love is like a bomb, baby, come and get it on. 740 00:39:18,000 --> 00:39:21,480 Speaker 1: Based on run DMC's walk This Way with Aerosmith, It's 741 00:39:21,559 --> 00:39:22,679 like a rock rap thing. 742 00:39:22,760 --> 00:39:24,159 Speaker 2: Hey, if they can do it, we can do it. 743 00:39:24,639 --> 00:39:28,199 Speaker 1: Okay, this reached number two.

Okay, a 747 00:39:33,480 --> 00:39:36,119 drum roll, please, Jason's going to give me clues to 748 00:39:36,199 --> 00:39:43,920 his number one. Okay, one. 749 00:39:46,800 --> 00:39:49,119 Speaker 1: I think there's a legitimate case that you could put 750 00:39:49,119 --> 00:39:52,800 this song in nineteen eighty seven, nineteen eighty eight, and 751 00:39:52,960 --> 00:39:56,760 nineteen eighty nine. Okay, all right now, then my first 752 00:39:56,760 --> 00:40:00,159 clue to you is Cory Glover from Living Color a 753 00:40:00,280 --> 00:40:05,199 verbal argument with this person from the stage in nineteen 754 00:40:05,239 --> 00:40:10,440 eighty eight. Okay, this band went through the roof in 755 00:40:10,559 --> 00:40:11,320 nineteen eighty eight. 756 00:40:12,199 --> 00:40:14,840 Speaker 2: Hey, we're talking about a band and a banner. Okay, 757 00:40:14,920 --> 00:40:15,239 keep going. 758 00:40:15,320 --> 00:40:19,400 Speaker 1: Hey, the title of this song came from some cautionistic 759 00:40:19,480 --> 00:40:22,480 words from a hobo at a bus station. 760 00:40:23,400 --> 00:40:23,800 Speaker 2: Got it? 761 00:40:24,239 --> 00:40:24,800 Speaker 1: What is it? 762 00:40:25,719 --> 00:40:40,360 Speaker 2: Welcome to the jungle baby. I can't fault you. I 763 00:40:40,360 --> 00:40:42,119 can't fault you. Okay, I mean I. 764 00:40:42,039 --> 00:40:43,320 Speaker 1: Did you were ready to kill me? 765 00:40:43,360 --> 00:40:45,239 Speaker 2: Which I was, well, no, no, no, no, I just 766 00:40:45,480 --> 00:40:47,159 I was on the edge of my seat to see 767 00:40:47,199 --> 00:40:49,840 what it was, but it is no surprise because that 768 00:40:50,079 --> 00:40:53,239 as well could be on top five songs of the 769 00:40:53,400 --> 00:40:54,000 entire decade. 770 00:40:54,079 --> 00:40:57,280 Speaker 1: Yes, this was originally released in nineteen eighty seven, YEP. 771 00:40:57,360 --> 00:41:00,679 Didn't really do all that much because MTV refuse to 772 00:41:00,719 --> 00:41:04,039 play the video. David Geffen himself had to get involved 773 00:41:04,079 --> 00:41:06,280 and call the station and say, you guys have got 774 00:41:06,320 --> 00:41:09,119 to start playing this video. So when they did, it 775 00:41:09,199 --> 00:41:10,840 hit a little bit in early eighty eight. 776 00:41:11,000 --> 00:41:11,320 Speaker 2: Uh huh. 777 00:41:11,360 --> 00:41:12,880 Speaker 1: Sweet Child of Mind goes to the roof in the 778 00:41:12,920 --> 00:41:13,719 summer of eighty eight. 779 00:41:13,840 --> 00:41:14,000 Speaker 2: YEP. 780 00:41:14,079 --> 00:41:16,880 Speaker 1: They re release it in October of eighty eight, and 781 00:41:16,960 --> 00:41:20,760 it reaches number seven Christmas Eve nineteen eighty eight, and 782 00:41:20,960 --> 00:41:22,840 it's played at every single football game.

They played 786 00:41:31,159 --> 00:41:33,559 this video. They were going to do it one time, 787 00:41:33,639 --> 00:41:36,719 a one off deal.
