Talk to me goose all right. This album was released

56
00:03:01,159 --> 00:03:04,319
May thirteenth, nineteen eighty six. Jason, what were you doing

57
00:03:04,479 --> 00:03:05,599
summer of nineteen eighty six?

58
00:03:05,680 --> 00:03:08,319
Speaker 3: Summer of nineteen eighty six, I was getting ready to

59
00:03:08,360 --> 00:03:11,120
turn thirteen years old. I was listening to a lot

60
00:03:11,159 --> 00:03:13,879
of Van Halen fifty one fifty this is right before

61
00:03:14,120 --> 00:03:16,719
of course bon Jovie Hits Yeah and Top Gun was

62
00:03:16,759 --> 00:03:20,400
a huge, huge movie for me, and this soundtrack carried

63
00:03:20,439 --> 00:03:22,919
me through that summer of eighty six. Awesome what about you?

64
00:03:23,039 --> 00:03:25,800
Speaker 2: In May of eighty six, I was ten. I was

65
00:03:25,879 --> 00:03:29,719
still in my jeans jacket and obsessing about Marty McFly

66
00:03:30,039 --> 00:03:33,919
from Future Phase. But going into the summer, there were

67
00:03:33,960 --> 00:03:35,680
some new songs that were coming out that were pretty

68
00:03:35,680 --> 00:03:36,439
exciting as well.

69
00:03:36,520 --> 00:03:39,319
Speaker 3: My MTV watching was ramping up during this time.

70
00:03:39,400 --> 00:03:41,919
Speaker 2: Absolutely, the videos were starting to get good. We already

71
00:03:41,960 --> 00:03:44,159
did talk about some of these songs that was part

72
00:03:44,199 --> 00:03:47,360
of a episode dedicated to Top Gun the movie. We

73
00:03:47,439 --> 00:03:49,520
just touched on it. But those two episodes have been

74
00:03:49,599 --> 00:03:52,360
so popular that we decided we should have a full

75
00:03:52,560 --> 00:03:55,400
music episode. So that's why we're bringing this to you today.

76
00:03:55,520 --> 00:03:57,639
If you haven't heard those episodes, be sure and check

77
00:03:57,639 --> 00:04:01,000

78
00:04:01,039 --> 00:04:03,479

80
00:04:07,520 --> 00:04:10,520

00:04:10,800 --> 00:04:12,960
was number one for three weeks, and then it came

82

Speaker 3: This is the number five best selling album of nineteen

89
00:04:35,680 --> 00:04:36,160

90
00:04:36,240 --> 00:04:38,680
Speaker 2: Dude, I'm excited. Can we can we start talking songs?

91
00:04:38,759 --> 00:04:41,120
Speaker 3: One more thing? Okay, so this is the best selling

92
00:04:41,319 --> 00:04:43,920
soundtrack of nineteen eighty six. Sure, but I've got the

93
00:04:44,040 --> 00:04:46,759
list of the top selling soundtracks of all time.

94
00:04:46,879 --> 00:04:47,600

00:05:03,199 --> 00:05:07,959
very first big soundtracks. Sixteen Space Jam, fifteen Flash Dance.

00:05:08,160 --> 00:05:09,480
That's a Simpson Bruckheimer.

Speaker 2: Yeah, that's the definitely a seed for this album.

112
00:05:41,120 --> 00:05:44,319
Speaker 2: I understandable, but that's all old music, not original stuff like.

113
00:05:44,279 --> 00:05:48,399
Speaker 3: This number three, Purple Rain of course, number two Saturday

115

selling soundtrack of all time, The Bodyguard Whitney Houston of course.

116
00:05:55,720 --> 00:05:59,560
All right, let's dive in, song by song, track by track.

117
00:05:59,759 --> 00:06:01,959
Speaker 2: Right out of the gate, we've got maybe the most

118
00:06:02,000 --> 00:06:06,480
memorable song of the whole album, danger Zone by mister

119
00:06:06,759 --> 00:06:34,959
Kenny Loggins. Okay, awesome intro right out of the gate,

120
00:06:35,199 --> 00:06:38,560
crunchy guitars, just kicking butt, and then you've got this

121
00:06:38,800 --> 00:06:42,439
pulsing heartbeat like drum as Kenny Loggins comes in with

122
00:06:42,439 --> 00:06:46,000
the vocals. It is too cool for school. But Kenny

123
00:06:46,040 --> 00:06:47,959
Loggins was not the guy who was supposed to do

124
00:06:48,000 --> 00:06:48,360
this song.

125
00:06:48,519 --> 00:06:49,120
Speaker 3: No, he was not.

126
00:06:49,319 --> 00:06:50,560
Speaker 2: Tell me the story man.

127
00:06:50,519 --> 00:06:52,959
Speaker 3: Okay, So Georgio Moroder is the guy who wrote the song.

128
00:06:53,319 --> 00:06:56,600
Initially they wanted maybe Corey Hart. They talked about Ario

129
00:06:56,720 --> 00:07:00,560
Speedwagon Brian Adams Brian Adams. Total was the one. I

130
00:07:00,600 --> 00:07:01,399
mean Toto was it?

131
00:07:01,439 --> 00:07:03,360
Speaker 2: Toto was the one tell us the Toto story.

132
00:07:03,439 --> 00:07:07,639
Speaker 3: So, after three hundred open call submissions from artists people

133
00:07:07,680 --> 00:07:10,199
all over said we want to write the intro theme

134
00:07:10,240 --> 00:07:13,279
song for Top Gun, they submitted it. The producers sat around,

135
00:07:13,319 --> 00:07:15,759
they listened to every single one and they sort of

136
00:07:15,839 --> 00:07:18,720
had this like anybody could blackball it like ten seconds in.

137
00:07:18,920 --> 00:07:21,560
One guy says nah. Then they kicked it out, put

138
00:07:21,639 --> 00:07:23,160
in another cassette and moved right on.

139
00:07:23,519 --> 00:07:24,639
Speaker 2: Three hundred songs.

140
00:07:24,680 --> 00:07:27,120
Speaker 3: Three hundred songs, and after going through three hundred, they're like,

141
00:07:27,160 --> 00:07:28,319
we don't really like any of these.

142
00:07:28,399 --> 00:07:28,519
Speaker 4: Now.

143
00:07:28,560 --> 00:07:30,959
Speaker 2: Kenny Loggins was a part of the group that they

144
00:07:31,000 --> 00:07:33,240
showed the movie to, and he saw all these other

145
00:07:33,399 --> 00:07:35,759
artists in there, and he says to his writing partner,

146
00:07:36,040 --> 00:07:37,839
let's not try for the intro song and they can

147
00:07:37,839 --> 00:07:40,600
give that to somebody else. Let's do the volleyball scene. Right.

148
00:07:40,800 --> 00:07:43,240
So that song was gonna come up later and we'll

149
00:07:43,279 --> 00:07:46,519
talk about that, but Danger Zone was not his contribution.

150
00:07:46,720 --> 00:07:50,560
Speaker 3: So the producers contacted this guy named Giorgio Moroder. Now

151
00:07:50,560 --> 00:07:53,839
he had worked with them on the Flashdance soundtrack, had

152
00:07:53,839 --> 00:07:57,040
a good working relationship with Cincmon and Bruckheimer. Yes, after

153
00:07:57,360 --> 00:08:00,360
they got with him, he wrote danger Zone and had

154
00:08:00,399 --> 00:08:03,759
planned to have Toto sing this. Okay, we talked about

155
00:08:03,800 --> 00:08:05,519
this in our previous episode. I think we talked about

156
00:08:05,519 --> 00:08:06,879
it during our Toto episode.

157
00:08:07,079 --> 00:08:07,319
Speaker 2: Huh.

158
00:08:07,360 --> 00:08:09,560
Speaker 3: So they brought in the guys from Toto. They listened

159
00:08:09,600 --> 00:08:13,079
to their version of danger Zone. They said, we really

160
00:08:13,160 --> 00:08:15,160
like it, but I think what we're gonna do instead

161
00:08:15,199 --> 00:08:17,079
of having you guys play on it, We're gonna keep

162
00:08:17,079 --> 00:08:20,560
your singer. We're gonna have session musicians play the instruments.

163
00:08:20,639 --> 00:08:24,560
Speaker 2: That's insane, right, I mean, Toto is the band behind

164
00:08:24,680 --> 00:08:27,639
Thriller the album. Why would you have those guys and

165
00:08:27,680 --> 00:08:29,560
say we're gonna have somebody else perform the music?

166
00:08:29,639 --> 00:08:29,759
Speaker 1: Right?

167
00:08:29,800 --> 00:08:32,399
Speaker 3: And they took it as an insult and rightfully. So yeah,

168
00:08:32,440 --> 00:08:34,720
they're like, well, no, that's not gonna work. So screw

169
00:08:34,759 --> 00:08:37,039
you guys. We're out of here. We're going home, right,

170
00:08:37,960 --> 00:08:41,360
screw you guys, We're going home. So Columbia really wanted

171
00:08:41,360 --> 00:08:44,080
to use an artist under their label, so they offered

172
00:08:44,120 --> 00:08:46,480
it to Brian Adams and he was like, no, I

173
00:08:46,519 --> 00:08:48,480
don't like pro war movies.

174
00:08:48,679 --> 00:08:48,799
Speaker 5: Right.

175
00:08:48,919 --> 00:08:50,279
Speaker 3: They offered it to Starship.

176
00:08:50,440 --> 00:08:54,039
Speaker 2: Yeah, I heard that too, And like you said, Ario Speedwagon,

177
00:08:54,120 --> 00:08:56,440
Kenny login said that he was talking to the guy

178
00:08:56,440 --> 00:08:58,679
from Ario Speedwagon. He was like, yeah, the notes were

179
00:08:58,679 --> 00:09:00,559
too high for me to hit. I'm like, wait a minute,

180
00:09:00,600 --> 00:09:02,279
are you Speedwagon? What?

181
00:09:02,279 --> 00:09:02,360
Speaker 5: What?

182
00:09:02,759 --> 00:09:02,919
Speaker 4: Right?

183
00:09:02,960 --> 00:09:04,000
Speaker 2: Okay, right? Yeah, sure.

184
00:09:04,039 --> 00:09:06,600
Speaker 3: But Kenny was down the street recording his vocals on

185
00:09:06,759 --> 00:09:08,919
Playing with the Boys. Yeah, And of course he had

186
00:09:08,919 --> 00:09:11,799
a huge success with Footloose. We knew from two years

187
00:09:11,840 --> 00:09:12,279
prior to.

188
00:09:12,200 --> 00:09:14,759
Speaker 2: That, Yeah, as well as I'm all Right from Caddyshack.

189
00:09:14,919 --> 00:09:17,080
Speaker 3: And so they called him up and they said, hey, Kenny,

190
00:09:17,519 --> 00:09:20,960
we're already dropping music into the movie and we've got

191
00:09:20,960 --> 00:09:23,440
a song that's super important to the movie, but we

192
00:09:23,480 --> 00:09:25,600
don't have anybody who can sing it. And Kenny Logan said,

193
00:09:25,639 --> 00:09:40,519
I just have one question. Is it up tempo? They said, yes,

194
00:09:40,600 --> 00:09:42,559
it is. He said, great, I'll do it. Never heard

195
00:09:42,559 --> 00:09:45,240
it right, never heard it until he got to the studio.

196
00:09:45,519 --> 00:09:49,279
Speaker 2: Yeah, he sat down with Tom Whitlock and tweaked a

197
00:09:49,320 --> 00:09:51,960
few things, put the bridge in there that kind of

198
00:09:51,960 --> 00:09:54,960
gave you that relaxing point in between the high intensity

199
00:09:55,000 --> 00:09:57,320
of the first part and the high intensity ending. Is

200
00:09:57,320 --> 00:09:59,799
that his that's his coret he doesn't have any writ

201
00:10:00,080 --> 00:10:01,919
credit on it, but he definitely, I mean he is.

202
00:10:02,039 --> 00:10:04,399
He's a major songwriter for decades.

203
00:10:04,480 --> 00:10:07,440
Speaker 3: So yeah, he gave up his songwriting credit on this

204
00:10:07,559 --> 00:10:11,600
on purpose because there's some sort of Oscar nominated thing

205
00:10:11,679 --> 00:10:16,000
where Whitlock and Maroder wanted to keep that string alive

206
00:10:16,440 --> 00:10:19,240
and not add Logan's name into it. And so he

207
00:10:19,360 --> 00:10:22,600
actually has been fighting for royalties for about thirty years.

208
00:10:22,720 --> 00:10:24,960
Speaker 2: I think he gave up. I think he finally just said,

209
00:10:24,960 --> 00:10:27,320
you know, it's okay, that's okay, that's cool with me.

210
00:10:27,440 --> 00:10:29,759
I'm gonna let that slide. I think he's finally let

211
00:10:29,840 --> 00:10:30,039
that go.

212
00:10:30,159 --> 00:10:30,440
Speaker 3: Did it?

213
00:10:30,480 --> 00:10:32,679
Speaker 2: Okay? Can I tell you the story on Georgio Moroder

214
00:10:32,679 --> 00:10:35,960
and Tom Winlock, Please tell me? Okay. So we mentioned

215
00:10:36,080 --> 00:10:39,200
in our last episode that Tom Whitlock was like Georgio

216
00:10:39,279 --> 00:10:43,200
Moroder's Ferrari mechanic. Okay, there's so much more to the

217
00:10:43,240 --> 00:10:46,399
story than that, and it is it's not as van

218
00:10:46,440 --> 00:10:47,480
Halen as it seems.

219
00:10:47,600 --> 00:10:47,960
Speaker 3: Okay.

220
00:10:48,000 --> 00:10:51,399
Speaker 2: You know van Halen, Sammy Hagar and Eddie van Halen

221
00:10:51,480 --> 00:10:54,879
both had the same Ferrari mechanic, same Lambeau mechanic. I

222
00:10:54,879 --> 00:10:57,679
think actually, and he's the one that introduced him. Yes,

223
00:10:57,960 --> 00:11:02,720
so Georgio Moroder has been making music for seventy years.

224
00:11:02,759 --> 00:11:06,039
I mean he's an incredible force. He was called the

225
00:11:06,039 --> 00:11:10,399
father of disco. He pioneered EDM music. I mean he's

226
00:11:10,879 --> 00:11:14,879
huge name. He started Music Land Studios, which had artists

227
00:11:15,240 --> 00:11:18,240
recording there like The Rolling Stones, Elo led Zeppelin, Deep

228
00:11:18,279 --> 00:11:21,960
Purple Queen, Elton John. And then he started to do

229
00:11:22,080 --> 00:11:26,000
the soundtrack scores. He did Midnight Express and then he

230
00:11:26,080 --> 00:11:27,519
did American Jigglow.

231
00:11:27,679 --> 00:11:27,919
Speaker 3: Yes.

232
00:11:28,240 --> 00:11:29,519
Speaker 2: He also did Superman.

233
00:11:29,200 --> 00:11:31,879
Speaker 3: Three Yes, well yeah.

234
00:11:31,759 --> 00:11:35,799
Speaker 2: Scarface and The Never Ending Story, and he did the

235
00:11:35,919 --> 00:11:39,840
nineteen eighty four restoration of Metropolis. And so it's like

236
00:11:39,960 --> 00:11:42,639
that WOS that you can watch is called the Moroder

237
00:11:42,720 --> 00:11:46,519
version of Metropolis. But that Flash Dance soundtrack, he did

238
00:11:46,639 --> 00:11:49,399
What a Feeling the Flash Dance song by Irene Kara.

239
00:11:49,600 --> 00:11:52,480
But he had he had gotten all kinds of success.

240
00:11:52,519 --> 00:11:54,759
I mean, he was a huge name, which is why

241
00:11:54,879 --> 00:11:57,840
the Berlin folks were so interested in having him to

242
00:11:57,879 --> 00:12:00,399
talk about here in a secondes, so he makes his

243
00:12:00,440 --> 00:12:04,080
way over to the US. He does American Jigglow. Call

244
00:12:04,200 --> 00:12:08,120
Me by Blondie is on there. That's him, and he's

245
00:12:08,360 --> 00:12:11,200
over at a studio where there are a couple of

246
00:12:11,240 --> 00:12:14,440
guys working. One of those guys is Tom Whitlock. Now

247
00:12:14,559 --> 00:12:17,159
Tom is a musician. He was a rock drummer. He

248
00:12:17,200 --> 00:12:19,320
studied music at Drury University.

249
00:12:19,559 --> 00:12:21,480
Speaker 3: Did you say Drury University?

250
00:12:21,600 --> 00:12:25,159
Speaker 2: Drury University, Yes, up in Missouri, in Springfield, Yes, in Springfield, Missouri.

251
00:12:25,200 --> 00:12:26,559
Speaker 3: One of my best friends went to Drury.

252
00:12:26,600 --> 00:12:29,720
Speaker 2: Okay, Well there you go, Okay, and that small, small school.

253
00:12:29,960 --> 00:12:31,480
One of the one of the guys that went there

254
00:12:31,519 --> 00:12:33,840
was Tom Whitlock. Well, he had come out to La

255
00:12:33,879 --> 00:12:35,960
to make a name as a musician, right, and he's

256
00:12:36,000 --> 00:12:37,879
helping his buddy out at the studio. And this guy's

257
00:12:37,919 --> 00:12:40,159
I mean he's a music in Virginior for Breakfast Club

258
00:12:40,200 --> 00:12:43,080
among others. I mean, this is he's not wid potatoes either.

259
00:12:43,120 --> 00:12:43,440
Speaker 6: Okay.

260
00:12:43,519 --> 00:12:47,879
Speaker 2: But Georgio Moroder is there and he's like complaining about

261
00:12:47,960 --> 00:12:51,200
how his breaks won't work in his ferrari. Okay, So

262
00:12:51,279 --> 00:12:55,159
Tom Whitlock, good old boy from Missouri, just goes tell

263
00:12:55,200 --> 00:12:57,960
me what's going on, and Maroder explains, He's like, just

264
00:12:57,960 --> 00:12:59,679
give me a second. He runs down to the convenience

265
00:12:59,679 --> 00:13:02,200
store by his break fluid. This is what he did.

266
00:13:02,320 --> 00:13:05,360
He was not a mechanic. He bought two pints of

267
00:13:05,360 --> 00:13:08,279
break fluid, came back, put it in Moroder's car. He's like,

268
00:13:08,320 --> 00:13:09,440
there you go, man, that should work.

269
00:13:09,639 --> 00:13:10,039
Speaker 3: Wow.

270
00:13:10,200 --> 00:13:12,240
Speaker 2: Moroder was so impressed that he was like, how about

271
00:13:12,279 --> 00:13:14,200
you come and work with me at my studio. So

272
00:13:14,320 --> 00:13:16,919
that is the full story. It wasn't you know, you're

273
00:13:17,000 --> 00:13:18,080
my Ferrari mechanic.

274
00:13:18,120 --> 00:13:19,960
Speaker 3: It wasn't like this guy covered with grease.

275
00:13:20,200 --> 00:13:22,720
Speaker 2: It was a guy who was a musician who just

276
00:13:22,960 --> 00:13:26,600
knew how to change break fluid and got lucky one day.

277
00:13:27,120 --> 00:13:29,120
Speaker 3: That's incredible. Yeah, that's a great story.

278
00:13:29,279 --> 00:13:32,000
Speaker 2: So he got hired to work at Maroder studio and

279
00:13:32,080 --> 00:13:35,799
he starts studying recording with Brian Reeves who did Scarface

280
00:13:35,840 --> 00:13:39,120
and Flash Dance and Beverly Hills cop Then Moroder gets

281
00:13:39,159 --> 00:13:42,639
contacted to do the Top Gun soundtrack and his normal

282
00:13:42,759 --> 00:13:45,799
writing partners are busy, and he knows that Tom is

283
00:13:46,000 --> 00:13:48,799
a musician, so he says, hey, do you want to

284
00:13:48,840 --> 00:13:51,080
help me write some songs on this one. They write

285
00:13:51,080 --> 00:13:53,960
five songs together for the soundtrack and history is.

286
00:13:53,919 --> 00:13:57,679
Speaker 3: Made, including danger Zone, take My Breath Away plus Leave

287
00:13:57,720 --> 00:13:58,840
Me On by Tina Marine, We're going.

288
00:13:58,759 --> 00:14:00,720
Speaker 2: To talk About and Tom Whitlock would go on to

289
00:14:01,000 --> 00:14:03,440
do a song for Sammy Hagar winner take All from

290
00:14:03,519 --> 00:14:06,519
the y Yeah, I Top soundtrack, and another song for

291
00:14:06,559 --> 00:14:19,840
Kenny Loggins to Meet Me Halfway. Also Tom Whitlock.

292
00:14:19,759 --> 00:14:24,639
Speaker 3: Meet Me Halfway. That was another song that kind of

293
00:14:24,679 --> 00:14:26,679
furthered Kenny Loggins's soundtrack career.

294
00:14:26,759 --> 00:14:29,440
Speaker 2: Yeah, exactly, mister soundtrack, you got it.

295
00:14:29,519 --> 00:14:32,519
Speaker 3: Interestingly, this song only made it to number two. We

296
00:14:32,559 --> 00:14:35,039
talked about this during our Top Gun episode. Yeah, which

297
00:14:35,080 --> 00:14:37,080
is a crime to me because it's one of the

298
00:14:37,080 --> 00:14:39,279
best songs of the eighties. It really is like the

299
00:14:39,360 --> 00:14:41,679
eighties and one three and a half minute song.

300
00:14:41,759 --> 00:14:43,679
Speaker 2: Right, and I remember the song that kept it out,

301
00:14:43,720 --> 00:14:45,320
but remind it remind our audience.

302
00:14:45,440 --> 00:14:48,360
Speaker 3: That song was called Sledgehammer by Peter Gabriel.

303
00:14:48,000 --> 00:14:50,879
Speaker 2: Which was all over the place that year.

304
00:14:51,000 --> 00:14:52,519
Speaker 3: It was. And it's a good song.

305
00:14:52,720 --> 00:14:54,519
Speaker 2: It's yeah, it's a good song. It was really the

306
00:14:54,600 --> 00:14:55,559
video that made that song.

307
00:14:55,600 --> 00:14:58,480
Speaker 3: I agree with you. The video was really cutting edge

308
00:14:58,519 --> 00:15:01,200
and really cool in the Battle of one versus two.

309
00:15:01,240 --> 00:15:02,519
I'm taking danger Zone.

310
00:15:02,360 --> 00:15:04,679
Speaker 2: Every day of the week though, right right, And I'll

311
00:15:04,720 --> 00:15:06,799
just throw this out there. Yeah, listeners, if you haven't

312
00:15:06,840 --> 00:15:09,679
heard our Duran Durant episode, go back and check that out.

313
00:15:09,720 --> 00:15:12,559
We went track by track through Rio with our friend

314
00:15:12,679 --> 00:15:16,399
Melissa Bingle and she mentioned that she had the new

315
00:15:16,639 --> 00:15:20,679
album called Future Past right. Yes, Well, mister Tom Whitlock

316
00:15:20,879 --> 00:15:23,399
wrote two of the songs with Duran for that album.

317
00:15:23,440 --> 00:15:23,960
Speaker 3: How about that?

318
00:15:24,159 --> 00:15:27,320
Speaker 2: Yeah, Tonight United and Beautiful Lies.

319
00:15:27,679 --> 00:15:28,679
Speaker 3: That is really cool?

320
00:15:28,799 --> 00:15:29,279
Speaker 2: How about that?

321
00:15:29,840 --> 00:15:33,000
Speaker 3: Kenny Loggins said that he had been listening to a

322
00:15:33,000 --> 00:15:35,600
lot of Tina Turner. Yeah, and so when he was

323
00:15:35,679 --> 00:15:38,519
singing that's why you get the Dangers out.

324
00:15:38,519 --> 00:15:42,919
Speaker 2: Name Zone, I think that's cool. Tina Turner making her stamp. Yeah,

325
00:15:43,000 --> 00:15:45,440
here's what's interesting. Kenny Loggins was doing an interview and

326
00:15:45,440 --> 00:15:48,919
he pointed out that Moroder would use a Yamaha DX seven,

327
00:15:49,039 --> 00:15:52,120
but unlike everybody else in the industry, he would just

328
00:15:52,159 --> 00:15:54,279
take it out of the box and just start playing

329
00:15:54,360 --> 00:15:57,120
the stock sounds that came with it. And Kenny Logins

330
00:15:57,159 --> 00:15:58,759
is like, I'm out there as long as with all

331
00:15:58,799 --> 00:16:01,720
these other artists trying to create our own unique sound,

332
00:16:02,240 --> 00:16:05,519
and to quote, we're all trying to create custom sounds.

333
00:16:05,519 --> 00:16:07,240
And he just plugged it in and made a load

334
00:16:07,279 --> 00:16:08,080
of hit records.

335
00:16:10,399 --> 00:16:14,360
Speaker 3: Jorgio Moroder does play the synths and drum machine for

336
00:16:14,559 --> 00:16:17,600
Danger Zone before we get to the music video. I've

337
00:16:17,600 --> 00:16:21,399
got to throw my boy Dan Huff another boney he

338
00:16:21,480 --> 00:16:25,080
plays guitar on Danger Zone, because we said we're never

339
00:16:25,120 --> 00:16:27,039
gonna play this song in any of our episodes, and

340
00:16:27,039 --> 00:16:30,039
here we are, we're playing this second time. Dan Huff

341
00:16:30,480 --> 00:16:33,639
is the lead singer for Giants and they had one

342
00:16:34,120 --> 00:16:37,919
awesome song the spring of nineteen ninety called I'll See

343
00:16:37,960 --> 00:16:58,600
You in My Dreams. We all massed, I love this song, man,

344
00:16:58,679 --> 00:16:59,600
it's one of my fairs.

345
00:16:59,639 --> 00:17:00,600
Speaker 2: It that it is.

346
00:17:01,679 --> 00:17:05,400
Speaker 3: I can't believe we stuck it in another episode twice.

347
00:17:06,000 --> 00:17:09,519
Speaker 2: You're a bigger fan than I am. That's okay. So

348
00:17:09,759 --> 00:17:12,759
we talked about Kenny Loggins agreeing at the last minute

349
00:17:12,799 --> 00:17:16,000
to do this. He said, as they're recording it, He's like,

350
00:17:16,079 --> 00:17:18,039
how long do we have to do this? Some roders

351
00:17:18,119 --> 00:17:20,720
like I have to dub this into the movie in

352
00:17:20,720 --> 00:17:24,839
the next twenty four hours. So it was I mean,

353
00:17:25,200 --> 00:17:27,680
the song that you get they did in less than

354
00:17:27,720 --> 00:17:28,319
a day's work.

355
00:17:29,160 --> 00:17:32,079
Speaker 3: That's incredible. Yeah, and listen, I don't want to over

356
00:17:32,440 --> 00:17:36,640
dramatize things, but we talked at length in both the

357
00:17:36,640 --> 00:17:39,720
Top Gun episode and the Maverick episode where you have

358
00:17:39,839 --> 00:17:43,720
the Top Gun theme that explodes into danger zone as

359
00:17:43,759 --> 00:17:46,640
they take off from the flight deck of the aircraft carrier.

360
00:17:46,799 --> 00:17:47,359
Speaker 2: Yeah.

361
00:17:47,400 --> 00:17:52,559
Speaker 3: And it's a blow your socks off moment in the movie, right, Yeah,

362
00:17:52,599 --> 00:17:56,359
in both movies, both movies. It's so important and hugely

363
00:17:56,680 --> 00:17:58,200
impactful for the tone of the movie.

364
00:17:58,359 --> 00:18:01,480
Speaker 2: Yeah. Absolutely. Kenny said he went to Tom and said, hey,

365
00:18:01,559 --> 00:18:03,240
how about I dress up in a uniform and just

366
00:18:03,240 --> 00:18:06,559
to a walk through for the movie. And Tom was like, yeah, yeah, okay, no, no,

367
00:18:08,920 --> 00:18:12,039
it didn't happen. Could you imagine I would have lost

368
00:18:12,079 --> 00:18:12,480
my mind?

369
00:18:12,640 --> 00:18:12,880
Speaker 6: Yeah.

370
00:18:13,119 --> 00:18:15,319
Speaker 2: Had I seen Kenny Loggins dressed up as a four

371
00:18:15,359 --> 00:18:16,960
star general walking through.

372
00:18:16,799 --> 00:18:19,839
Speaker 3: The then cool man, you'd have to get a hide

373
00:18:19,880 --> 00:18:21,480
and tight and shave the beard off probably.

374
00:18:21,640 --> 00:18:22,000
Speaker 2: Yeah.

375
00:18:22,079 --> 00:18:25,000
Speaker 3: Okay, let's talk video. Yeah, so you have basically a

376
00:18:25,039 --> 00:18:26,839
paid advertisement for the movie Top Gun.

377
00:18:26,920 --> 00:18:29,599
Speaker 2: It's like a summary of the movie all in a

378
00:18:29,799 --> 00:18:30,720
four minute video.

379
00:18:30,839 --> 00:18:33,400
Speaker 3: It really is. You know who directed that video? I do,

380
00:18:33,839 --> 00:18:36,680
mister Tony Scott, the director of the movie, directed the

381
00:18:36,880 --> 00:18:41,039
music video. And basically Kenny Loggins is in a bedroom,

382
00:18:41,200 --> 00:18:44,720
a little bit sweaty with his aviator sunglasses on, sitting up,

383
00:18:44,799 --> 00:18:45,920
laying down on a bed.

384
00:18:46,240 --> 00:18:46,400
Speaker 2: Yeah.

385
00:18:46,519 --> 00:18:47,119
Speaker 3: Nothing major.

386
00:18:47,200 --> 00:18:50,119
Speaker 2: You have sunglasses and a fan. That's it, and that's it.

387
00:18:50,319 --> 00:18:53,759
And then at one for one brief second, Kenny Loggins

388
00:18:53,799 --> 00:18:55,440
is laying down on a pillow singing to you, and

389
00:18:55,440 --> 00:18:57,160
then all of a sudden, he's taking pictures of you

390
00:18:57,200 --> 00:18:59,640
with a handheld camera. I don't know what purpose of

391
00:18:59,640 --> 00:19:01,319
that was, but interesting idea.

392
00:19:01,359 --> 00:19:03,680
Speaker 3: But the reason why we loved that video is because

393
00:19:03,720 --> 00:19:06,359
it was eighty percent clips from the movie. You even

394
00:19:06,359 --> 00:19:08,359
get Maverick got a good lock firing.

395
00:19:09,240 --> 00:19:11,920
Speaker 2: Kenny Loggins showed up to the set and he's like, okay,

396
00:19:11,920 --> 00:19:13,880
so what are we gonna do and he goes, not much.

397
00:19:14,000 --> 00:19:16,480
We'll pretty well just gonna intercut you with the movie

398
00:19:16,519 --> 00:19:19,200
and that's about it. I got a fan, I got

399
00:19:19,240 --> 00:19:20,400
some sunglasses. You're good to go.

400
00:19:22,160 --> 00:19:24,680
Speaker 3: Here's a fan, here's some sunglasses. Here, mess around with

401
00:19:24,680 --> 00:19:27,319
this camera. By the way, Kenny Loggins did record an

402
00:19:27,400 --> 00:19:30,200
updated version of Danger Zone. Huh, a little different. Guess

403
00:19:30,240 --> 00:19:32,519
what Tom Cruise is like, Now, we're gonna stick with

404
00:19:32,519 --> 00:19:34,680
the eighty six version. And you know what, it was

405
00:19:34,680 --> 00:19:36,160
a good choice. I think that was the right call.

406
00:19:36,279 --> 00:19:38,880
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's so good. Okay, are we ready to move

407
00:19:38,920 --> 00:19:39,640
on to cheap trick?

408
00:19:39,759 --> 00:19:40,799
Speaker 3: Let's move on to cheap trick.

409
00:19:41,400 --> 00:19:59,400
Speaker 2: Okay. Our song number two is Mighty Wings. This is

410
00:19:59,400 --> 00:20:03,640
a song written by Harold Faltermeyer and Mark Spiro and

411
00:20:04,039 --> 00:20:06,559
it is the third single to come off of this album.

412
00:20:06,680 --> 00:20:09,640
Speaker 3: Dude, I love this song. This song gets overlooked. It

413
00:20:09,759 --> 00:20:11,720
is a fantastic song on this album.

414
00:20:11,799 --> 00:20:14,319
Speaker 2: It definitely gets overlooked. And I don't know. I mean,

415
00:20:14,359 --> 00:20:17,559
you've got this album that's obviously one of the best

416
00:20:17,559 --> 00:20:20,279
selling soundtrack albums of all time. This is a single

417
00:20:20,319 --> 00:20:22,559
off of that album in the year that it's at

418
00:20:22,599 --> 00:20:25,079
the top of the charts, and get it kind of

419
00:20:25,920 --> 00:20:27,400
false black art.

420
00:20:27,839 --> 00:20:30,559
Speaker 3: I don't really get it. Billboard listed this song as

421
00:20:30,680 --> 00:20:34,519
a pop pick and stated feverish, fast pulse rock from

422
00:20:34,640 --> 00:20:38,200
Top Gun. Inclusion in the Smash soundtrack should push the

423
00:20:38,279 --> 00:20:42,400
band towards its strongest chart bid in years. That did

424
00:20:42,440 --> 00:20:45,880
not happen. No, And I don't know why, because this

425
00:20:45,920 --> 00:21:00,119
is an awesome song that's used prominently in the movie.

426
00:21:04,319 --> 00:21:07,039
Speaker 2: Yeah, they use it twice. Yeah, it's I mean it is.

427
00:21:07,279 --> 00:21:09,960
It's eighties all over. It's power all over. I don't

428
00:21:10,000 --> 00:21:10,640
know what happened.

429
00:21:10,720 --> 00:21:13,079
Speaker 3: So here's what happened. I think this is the answer.

430
00:21:13,720 --> 00:21:17,200
It was moved from the second single released to the

431
00:21:17,240 --> 00:21:20,680
third single released in favor of take My breath Away, right,

432
00:21:20,720 --> 00:21:24,119
which blew up, and they didn't have a video for it.

433
00:21:24,559 --> 00:21:27,279
Speaker 2: That is, I think the answer right in nineteen eighty six.

434
00:21:27,359 --> 00:21:29,319
In nineteen eighty six, you have to have a video

435
00:21:29,359 --> 00:21:32,160
that isn't that's the answer right there, because if you

436
00:21:32,240 --> 00:21:35,400
are riding the wave of danger Zone followed by take

437
00:21:35,480 --> 00:21:38,400
My breath Away, you don't have to do some sort

438
00:21:38,440 --> 00:21:41,720
of miraculous thing. Give us another video with top gun

439
00:21:41,799 --> 00:21:45,200
clips and you're going to soar up the charts. That

440
00:21:45,720 --> 00:21:47,640
is the answer to the question. As I said, this

441
00:21:47,720 --> 00:21:50,480
song was written by Harold Faldemeyer, and we mentioned last

442
00:21:50,519 --> 00:21:53,319
episode he was the guy who did axel F which

443
00:21:53,400 --> 00:21:56,720
was another huge topper. Right. Yes, he referred to that

444
00:21:56,799 --> 00:22:00,839
song as the banana theme, becuz in the movie he's like,

445
00:22:02,000 --> 00:22:05,119
how much just for two bananas? You go on to

446
00:22:05,160 --> 00:22:06,119
you take him bananas?

447
00:22:06,720 --> 00:22:10,880
Speaker 3: Look, man, I evolve banana the tail vibe.

448
00:22:11,400 --> 00:22:15,319
Speaker 2: So the banana theme is by Harold Faltemeyer. And he

449
00:22:15,400 --> 00:22:17,599
was a kid who parents got him into music and

450
00:22:17,640 --> 00:22:19,720
a music professor's listening to him and he's like, holy

451
00:22:19,759 --> 00:22:22,640
cath this kid has perfect pitch at like three years old.

452
00:22:22,680 --> 00:22:26,160
He's he's got some amazing abilities. Like Moroder. He starts

453
00:22:26,279 --> 00:22:29,960
working at a recording studio, is doing engineering at a

454
00:22:30,160 --> 00:22:35,160
very young age for major classical sessions. And Georgio Moroder

455
00:22:35,400 --> 00:22:37,519
his ears are perked and he's like, let's bring this

456
00:22:37,519 --> 00:22:40,000
guy to LA. So Georgia Moroder is the guy who

457
00:22:40,039 --> 00:22:44,759
brought Harold Faltemeyer to LA and he played and arranged

458
00:22:44,799 --> 00:22:47,839
for Midnight Express, which I mean that one, that one.

459
00:22:47,880 --> 00:22:49,119
Maroder his first Oscar.

460
00:22:49,200 --> 00:22:51,160
Speaker 3: Okay, I want to point out something I think is

461
00:22:51,200 --> 00:22:53,920
a little bit overlooked. Okay, Simpson and Bruckheimer have been

462
00:22:53,920 --> 00:22:58,079
credited with sort of bringing some of these seventies rock

463
00:22:58,119 --> 00:23:02,079
stars through the eighties by using soundtracks. Absolutely one of

464
00:23:02,119 --> 00:23:06,480
the Kenny Loggins right on the Beverly Hills cop soundtrack.

465
00:23:06,519 --> 00:23:08,519
You have Glenn Frye, who has a huge hit.

466
00:23:08,519 --> 00:23:11,759
Speaker 2: True Beverly Hills two soundtrack. You've got Bob.

467
00:23:11,880 --> 00:23:15,000
Speaker 3: Bob see her Yeah for Armageddon. You have Aerosmith, who

468
00:23:15,039 --> 00:23:16,680
has a smash.

469
00:23:16,400 --> 00:23:18,079
Speaker 2: Song, biggest song of their career.

470
00:23:18,200 --> 00:23:21,440
Speaker 3: Cheap Trick falls into that category. There's a seventies band.

471
00:23:21,359 --> 00:23:23,559
Speaker 2: But they didn't do a video Okay, now, wait a minute.

472
00:23:23,599 --> 00:23:25,359
Speaker 3: Here's the thing. I wanted to bring this up because

473
00:23:25,359 --> 00:23:27,759
they thought that this might be the song to bring

474
00:23:27,839 --> 00:23:31,720
Cheap Trick back into the forefront of the MTV viewing audience.

475
00:23:31,880 --> 00:23:32,079
Speaker 2: Right.

476
00:23:32,200 --> 00:23:34,680
Speaker 3: That did not happen, No, but it did happen just

477
00:23:34,720 --> 00:23:37,039
a couple of years later with the song called the Flame,

478
00:23:38,880 --> 00:23:47,720
which is one of my all time favorite songs.

479
00:23:47,839 --> 00:23:49,079
Speaker 2: This is how I know Cheap Trick.

480
00:23:49,279 --> 00:23:51,519
Speaker 3: You and I both right, yep. So that song went

481
00:23:51,599 --> 00:23:54,759
number one July nineteen eighty eight. It knocked out Dirty

482
00:23:54,799 --> 00:23:59,400
Diana Wow, who on guitar had Steve Stevens. Steve Stevens,

483
00:23:59,559 --> 00:24:02,480
and it was knocked out by Richard Marx. Hold On

484
00:24:02,559 --> 00:24:06,319
to the Nights Nice, which was number one, over pour

485
00:24:06,440 --> 00:24:09,319
Some Sugar on Me talked out at number two. So

486
00:24:09,720 --> 00:24:11,839
summer of eighty eight you had some interesting stuff going

487
00:24:11,880 --> 00:24:12,480
on chart wise.

488
00:24:12,640 --> 00:24:14,960
Speaker 2: Many eighties were a good year decade for music.

489
00:24:15,119 --> 00:24:17,960
Speaker 3: I love this song. It is in the conversation for

490
00:24:18,000 --> 00:24:19,279
the best. I'm gonna put you on the spot at

491
00:24:19,279 --> 00:24:21,039
the end of this thing, I'm gonna say what song

492
00:24:21,119 --> 00:24:21,559
is the best?

493
00:24:22,400 --> 00:24:23,119
Speaker 2: It won't be this one.

494
00:24:23,160 --> 00:24:24,599
Speaker 3: I'm writing this one down as just kind of a

495
00:24:24,640 --> 00:24:26,799
little side notes. Okay, all right, in your notes over there,

496
00:24:26,880 --> 00:24:28,880
I'm putting it in my notes, all right.

497
00:24:28,960 --> 00:24:33,000
Speaker 2: Moving on to song number three. It makes me feel happy,

498
00:24:33,119 --> 00:24:54,359
it makes me feel gay playing with the boys. So

499
00:24:54,440 --> 00:24:56,839
this is the song that Kenny Loggins said to his

500
00:24:56,880 --> 00:24:59,440
writing partner, Hey, let's not try for the main theme.

501
00:24:59,559 --> 00:25:02,079
Let's try for something that nuts so many people are

502
00:25:02,079 --> 00:25:04,640
going for. And they said, let's do the volleyball one,

503
00:25:04,720 --> 00:25:06,799
right right. And his writing partner, by the way, is

504
00:25:06,799 --> 00:25:11,839
Peter Wolf, who has arranged a ton of stuff including

505
00:25:11,880 --> 00:25:14,640
Who's Johnny from Who's Short Circuit?

506
00:25:14,720 --> 00:25:17,559
Speaker 3: Yeah, the barge, the barge, Yeah, eld Barge, I think

507
00:25:17,759 --> 00:25:19,359
old the Barge. Yep.

508
00:25:19,440 --> 00:25:22,240
Speaker 2: But this one, hit number sixty didn't do too bad.

509
00:25:22,440 --> 00:25:25,000
Speaker 3: Yeah, This one is known more for the movie the

510
00:25:25,119 --> 00:25:26,519
volleyball scene in the movie.

511
00:25:26,960 --> 00:25:32,400
Speaker 2: So this song has been used in dozens, literally dozens

512
00:25:32,599 --> 00:25:37,160
of movies and TV episodes, and every single time it

513
00:25:37,359 --> 00:25:38,880
involves in volleyball.

514
00:25:40,559 --> 00:25:43,319
Speaker 3: As it should. It actually is featured in the nineteen

515
00:25:43,400 --> 00:25:45,119
ninety movie Side Out with see Thomas Hall.

516
00:25:45,200 --> 00:25:45,960
Speaker 2: Do you remember that movie?

517
00:25:45,960 --> 00:25:48,599
Speaker 3: You know, it's a whole movie devoted to volleyball.

518
00:25:48,640 --> 00:25:50,759
Speaker 7: So of course you gotta have play with the voice

519
00:25:50,799 --> 00:25:59,079
that's it.

520
00:25:59,079 --> 00:26:02,720
Speaker 3: It was a hit at all the day nightclubs, was it?

521
00:26:03,400 --> 00:26:06,359
Speaker 2: Jonathan Cohen of Spin magazine called it a sort of

522
00:26:06,440 --> 00:26:09,759
gay anthem. Okay, I mean you can't hear the words

523
00:26:09,799 --> 00:26:13,200
and not have Ymca and the Village people pop into

524
00:26:13,200 --> 00:26:16,160
your head a little bit. And I will say there

525
00:26:16,279 --> 00:26:20,160
was one non volleyball movie episode that this song came

526
00:26:20,240 --> 00:26:22,920
up in, and it was an episode early on in

527
00:26:23,480 --> 00:26:27,839
season one of Cobra Kai. Johnny Lawrence is being drug

528
00:26:27,880 --> 00:26:30,480
home drunk and he's singing playing with the boys.

529
00:26:30,559 --> 00:26:34,440
Speaker 3: Nice, Nice, Okay. I've got to ask you, yeah, have

530
00:26:34,559 --> 00:26:36,680
you seen this music video?

531
00:26:38,079 --> 00:26:38,160
Speaker 8: No?

532
00:26:40,000 --> 00:26:41,960
Speaker 3: Okay? At the end of the Shirle You Can't Be

533
00:26:42,000 --> 00:26:45,240
Serious podcast, we need to amass a list of the

534
00:26:45,279 --> 00:26:50,440
worst music videos ever made, Okay right. We talked at

535
00:26:50,559 --> 00:26:54,960
length during our Toto four episode about the video four

536
00:26:55,000 --> 00:26:58,519
Waiting for Your Love, very sweaty, snowbras.

537
00:26:58,160 --> 00:27:01,319
Speaker 2: Very eighties, lots of shoulder pads, no boom pass.

538
00:27:02,240 --> 00:27:05,680
Speaker 3: Child molester glasses, the whole nine yards, and we called

539
00:27:05,720 --> 00:27:07,200
it one of the worst videos of all time.

540
00:27:07,279 --> 00:27:10,480
Speaker 2: Yeah, and we also saw the original version of the

541
00:27:10,480 --> 00:27:13,680
poor Some Sugar on Me video, which again is in

542
00:27:13,720 --> 00:27:16,119
that category for songs coming out in the mid to

543
00:27:16,200 --> 00:27:20,440
late eighties to still have videos this bad is not acceptable, right,

544
00:27:20,559 --> 00:27:22,880
which I had. The band agreed, they made a different

545
00:27:22,960 --> 00:27:25,039
video and it was much better. Was it Russell mckayhew

546
00:27:25,079 --> 00:27:28,000
who had done that horrible I think so. I think

547
00:27:28,039 --> 00:27:29,960
it was. I think it was Russell McKay who had

548
00:27:29,960 --> 00:27:32,480
done the horrible first version of the Poor Swiss.

549
00:27:33,200 --> 00:27:36,279
Speaker 3: Yeah, well, this one's in the conversation, okay, because it

550
00:27:36,519 --> 00:27:38,920
literally looks like my church youth group shot this while

551
00:27:38,920 --> 00:27:41,240
we're playing volleyball after church one night.

552
00:27:41,279 --> 00:27:42,359
Speaker 2: Okay, it's a little budget.

553
00:27:42,440 --> 00:27:46,480
Speaker 3: It's guys versus girls in the volleyball match. Yeah, and

554
00:27:46,519 --> 00:27:48,799
they're all dressed. They look like they belong on Jane

555
00:27:48,880 --> 00:27:52,960
Fonda's workout video. And Kenny Loggins is on the side

556
00:27:52,960 --> 00:27:55,400
and he's sort of playing the guitar while the boys

557
00:27:55,400 --> 00:27:57,480
take an early lead. The girls come back and I

558
00:27:57,480 --> 00:28:00,319
think the girls actually win the volleyball.

559
00:28:00,559 --> 00:28:02,680
Speaker 2: The song's name playing with the boys, and the girls win.

560
00:28:02,799 --> 00:28:04,559
Speaker 3: The girls are sort of playing with the boys.

561
00:28:04,720 --> 00:28:06,440
Speaker 2: Oh my word, did.

562
00:28:06,319 --> 00:28:08,160
Speaker 3: You get a chance to go watch that music video?

563
00:28:09,039 --> 00:28:11,119
Speaker 2: Okay, you got any more on playing with the boys?

564
00:28:11,240 --> 00:28:11,480
Speaker 4: Nope?

565
00:28:11,680 --> 00:28:17,240
Speaker 2: Okay, let's jump into song number four, Take on Me.

566
00:28:19,079 --> 00:28:21,680
Speaker 3: No, Lead Me On?

567
00:28:22,079 --> 00:28:22,359
Speaker 2: Wait?

568
00:28:22,440 --> 00:28:22,720
Speaker 5: Was that me?

569
00:28:22,880 --> 00:28:23,960
Speaker 3: Was I singing? Yes?

570
00:28:24,000 --> 00:28:25,519
Speaker 2: That was you saying that was wrong? Okay, that's not

571
00:28:25,680 --> 00:28:27,119
that's not this song. No, it's not how I got

572
00:28:27,119 --> 00:28:28,960
it wrong. Okay, it is lead Me On, but it

573
00:28:29,039 --> 00:28:31,400
is by Tina Marie. Lady t.

574
00:28:42,119 --> 00:28:44,559
Speaker 3: Okay, I'm going to make the case that this song

575
00:28:44,759 --> 00:28:45,599
is awesome.

576
00:28:45,960 --> 00:28:46,839
Speaker 2: Okay, all right.

577
00:28:47,000 --> 00:28:51,200
Speaker 3: The horns are freaking infectious. It's got a pop rock

578
00:28:51,400 --> 00:28:54,200
feel to it. The singer's voice is great. Tina Marie

579
00:28:54,240 --> 00:28:57,440
has got that great soprano voice.

580
00:28:58,880 --> 00:29:01,119
Speaker 6: What's the god?

581
00:29:04,279 --> 00:29:06,319
Speaker 3: I love it. I don't care what anybody else says.

582
00:29:06,519 --> 00:29:09,359
I am unapologetically a big fan of this song right here.

583
00:29:09,440 --> 00:29:11,160
Speaker 2: This is not a skipper for me. I would listen

584
00:29:11,240 --> 00:29:13,759
to this song for sure. I like Tina Marie's voice.

585
00:29:13,920 --> 00:29:16,720
Teena Marie. There's not an artist that you probably have

586
00:29:16,880 --> 00:29:19,160
heard a lot about if you're more rock fans like

587
00:29:19,200 --> 00:29:22,079
we are, right, this is definitely on the rock side

588
00:29:22,119 --> 00:29:25,960
of the things that she has done. She actually sang

589
00:29:26,200 --> 00:29:28,440
and acted from the time that she was a little kid.

590
00:29:28,519 --> 00:29:31,720
She was on an episode of the Beverly Hillbillies. Really yeah,

591
00:29:31,759 --> 00:29:35,160
So her family moves out to California. They're not super

592
00:29:35,160 --> 00:29:37,759
well off. She ends up kind of growing up in

593
00:29:37,880 --> 00:29:41,519
an urban neighborhood with a lot more black people than

594
00:29:41,559 --> 00:29:45,000
white people. Right, she meets this lady named Bertha Lynn

595
00:29:45,119 --> 00:29:48,640
Jackson who kind of becomes her godmother, and that has

596
00:29:48,680 --> 00:29:52,799
a profound influence on her musical style. She ends up

597
00:29:52,880 --> 00:29:56,720
getting signed by Barry Gordy and wow. She starts doing

598
00:29:56,720 --> 00:29:59,960
stuff for him, making these songs, but nothing is getting released.

599
00:30:00,039 --> 00:30:02,519
It's just like she keeps recording stuff but they're not

600
00:30:02,599 --> 00:30:06,880
releasing anything. And then she runs into Rick James.

601
00:30:06,799 --> 00:30:10,319
Speaker 3: The super freak himself. Super freak, yes, super freaky. Rick

602
00:30:10,400 --> 00:30:13,119
James is supposed to produce an album for Diana Ross,

603
00:30:13,319 --> 00:30:16,880
but when he meets Tina Marie, he's like, who's Diana Ross.

604
00:30:16,880 --> 00:30:18,279
Speaker 2: I don't think I've heard of her. I'd like to

605
00:30:18,519 --> 00:30:20,480
I would like to produce Tina Marie.

606
00:30:20,519 --> 00:30:20,599
Speaker 1: Now.

607
00:30:20,640 --> 00:30:23,319
Speaker 2: Of course, they get involved in a romantic relationship as

608
00:30:23,359 --> 00:30:25,880
you would expect, but he gives her the name Lady

609
00:30:25,920 --> 00:30:30,799
t and they produced the album Wild and Peaceful, which

610
00:30:31,119 --> 00:30:34,519
contains a duet by them called I'm a Sucker for

611
00:30:34,599 --> 00:30:35,079
Your Love.

612
00:30:36,160 --> 00:30:36,799
Speaker 3: That's great.

613
00:30:37,039 --> 00:30:40,160
Speaker 2: It was a chart topper, but on the album there's

614
00:30:40,200 --> 00:30:43,559
no picture of her, so everybody thinks, I mean, we've

615
00:30:43,559 --> 00:30:45,960
got Rick James as the producer, we got buried Gordy

616
00:30:46,119 --> 00:30:49,000
is the I mean, obviously she's black, right right, And

617
00:30:49,039 --> 00:30:51,960
so they invite her and Rick James onto Soul Train,

618
00:30:52,039 --> 00:30:55,480
where suddenly everybody's like, where that white woman come from?

619
00:30:56,519 --> 00:30:57,799
Speaker 3: She is pasty white too.

620
00:30:57,920 --> 00:31:01,240
Speaker 2: She is the first white female guest on Soul Train.

621
00:31:01,599 --> 00:31:04,559
She appeared another eight times, which is the most of

622
00:31:04,720 --> 00:31:06,119
any white female guest.

623
00:31:06,240 --> 00:31:09,519
Speaker 3: She's called the Ivory Queen of Soul. Yeah, and I

624
00:31:09,599 --> 00:31:24,880
know her most from her song called lover Girl, which

625
00:31:24,920 --> 00:31:27,240
was a big hit in nineteen eighty five. Areach number four?

626
00:31:27,519 --> 00:31:31,440
Speaker 2: Well, she kept recording for the Motown Records, but they

627
00:31:31,440 --> 00:31:34,480
were refusing to publish any of her stuff. They wouldn't

628
00:31:34,559 --> 00:31:37,440
release the records, and so she had to sue on

629
00:31:37,680 --> 00:31:39,079
which is an interesting thing.

630
00:31:39,079 --> 00:31:39,279
Speaker 4: Here.

631
00:31:39,279 --> 00:31:41,480
Speaker 2: You are you are limited by contract, you can't go

632
00:31:41,559 --> 00:31:44,920
record for another label, but we're not going to release

633
00:31:44,960 --> 00:31:47,240
anything that you are recording. And she's like, this isn't fair.

634
00:31:47,279 --> 00:31:49,279
I can't. You can't do this to me, And ultimately

635
00:31:49,319 --> 00:31:51,720
she won the case, and it is literally called the

636
00:31:51,799 --> 00:31:56,200
Brockert Initiative because her name is Tina Brockert. Interesting, yep,

637
00:31:56,559 --> 00:31:59,720
and it says you can't hold somebody to a label

638
00:31:59,799 --> 00:32:03,119
and simultaneously not released their stuff. It's too much of

639
00:32:03,119 --> 00:32:03,680
a limitation.

640
00:32:03,880 --> 00:32:04,799
Speaker 3: It's like slavery.

641
00:32:04,880 --> 00:32:08,079
Speaker 2: Yeah, so she ends up signing with Columbia. Nineteen eighty

642
00:32:08,079 --> 00:32:10,759
four is when Starchild comes out, which had Lover Girl

643
00:32:10,799 --> 00:32:13,000
on it, like you talked about, and that's when we

644
00:32:13,079 --> 00:32:15,240
come along with leading me on.

645
00:32:15,440 --> 00:32:17,599
Speaker 3: Okay, we've got to talk about her early death.

646
00:32:17,799 --> 00:32:20,039
Speaker 2: Yeah, before we do, I will just say she was

647
00:32:20,079 --> 00:32:23,920
a big influence going on for other artists. She's the

648
00:32:24,119 --> 00:32:28,559
godmother of Maya Rudolph from Saturday Night Live because her

649
00:32:28,680 --> 00:32:32,480
dad produced Tina Marie's second album, and she was also

650
00:32:32,519 --> 00:32:37,160
a godmother to Marvin Gay's daughter Nona. And Lenny Kravitz

651
00:32:37,200 --> 00:32:39,720
said when he was first starting out and struggling as

652
00:32:39,720 --> 00:32:43,440
a musician, he went to her and she absolutely helped

653
00:32:43,519 --> 00:32:44,119
him with his career.

654
00:32:44,160 --> 00:32:44,799
Speaker 3: Well that's great.

655
00:32:44,920 --> 00:32:48,240
Speaker 2: Yeah, she had unfortunately a bad end to this rather

656
00:32:48,480 --> 00:32:49,400
beautiful story.

657
00:32:49,559 --> 00:32:53,519
Speaker 3: This was a tragic story when I read this. Okay, yeah,

658
00:32:53,559 --> 00:32:55,400
I knew she died early. I think she died at

659
00:32:55,400 --> 00:32:58,279
fifty two, But in two thousand and four, teena Marie

660
00:32:58,319 --> 00:33:01,839
was asleep in a hotel room in her bed and

661
00:33:01,920 --> 00:33:04,680
a huge picture frame fell off the wall and hit

662
00:33:04,720 --> 00:33:08,440
her in the head, just like complete freak accident. Yeah,

663
00:33:08,519 --> 00:33:11,440
falls off the wall, cracks her in the skull. It

664
00:33:11,519 --> 00:33:15,720
caused a serious concussion that resulted in huge seizures for

665
00:33:15,720 --> 00:33:17,720
the rest of her life. In fact, she had a

666
00:33:17,720 --> 00:33:22,559
grandma seizure one month before her death. On December twenty

667
00:33:22,640 --> 00:33:25,680
sixth twenty ten. She was found dead by her daughter.

668
00:33:25,839 --> 00:33:28,200
When the corner did the autopsy, he said she died

669
00:33:28,240 --> 00:33:31,319
of natural causes, but really it all resulted back to

670
00:33:31,400 --> 00:33:33,920
that freak picture falling off the wall and cracking her

671
00:33:33,960 --> 00:33:34,319
in the skull.

672
00:33:34,400 --> 00:33:38,279
Speaker 2: Wow, that's tragic. Tragic yep, loss of a great voice. Okay,

673
00:33:38,319 --> 00:33:41,319
we're done with this one, thinks, So time for maybe

674
00:33:41,599 --> 00:33:43,839
the biggest song on the entire album.

675
00:33:43,880 --> 00:33:44,519
Speaker 3: It's a biggie.

676
00:33:44,680 --> 00:33:54,839
Speaker 8: This song is called take My Breath Away.

677
00:33:54,920 --> 00:33:58,680
Speaker 2: Okay, so this song is by the group Berlin, but

678
00:33:58,880 --> 00:34:02,599
really it's Terry, Yes it is so. Terry was born

679
00:34:02,880 --> 00:34:06,640
in June of sixty one and her dad was an actor,

680
00:34:06,839 --> 00:34:09,880
but he was an alcoholic. He ended up committing suicide

681
00:34:09,920 --> 00:34:13,199
when she was fifteen. I don't know. So she went

682
00:34:13,239 --> 00:34:16,039
out kind of on her own, and in seventy six

683
00:34:16,360 --> 00:34:20,880
she posed for Penthouse. She also auditioned for Princess Leah

684
00:34:20,920 --> 00:34:21,679
in Star Wars.

685
00:34:21,760 --> 00:34:24,239
Speaker 1: I knew that well all the database and R two

686
00:34:24,280 --> 00:34:25,119
were still sekiller.

687
00:34:25,880 --> 00:34:28,760
Speaker 2: I was like, what yeah, so, but just real quick,

688
00:34:28,760 --> 00:34:30,800
I'm going to say those dates again. She was born

689
00:34:30,960 --> 00:34:35,960
in sixty one and she posed for Penthouse in seventy six.

690
00:34:36,559 --> 00:34:40,440
Let me do the math. Fifteen fifteen, Oh yeah, she

691
00:34:40,559 --> 00:34:44,519
convinced him that she was over eighteen and denied that

692
00:34:44,559 --> 00:34:46,639
it was her. Used another name, denied that it was

693
00:34:46,679 --> 00:34:49,920
her for years, but no, she it was absolutely her.

694
00:34:50,039 --> 00:34:54,280
She tricked on posing at fifteen years old for Penthouse, Wow,

695
00:34:54,760 --> 00:34:58,519
and losing out the part of Princess Leah to Carri Fisher.

696
00:34:58,880 --> 00:35:01,559
Speaker 3: You can see her audition, which is pretty cool on YouTube,

697
00:35:01,559 --> 00:35:01,920
I believe.

698
00:35:02,000 --> 00:35:06,239
Speaker 2: Oh nice. Yeah, Well, good news is she found other avenues.

699
00:35:06,320 --> 00:35:11,079
She starts looking in a music contact service in Hollywood

700
00:35:11,159 --> 00:35:14,119
and hey, there's this band called Berlin that's looking for

701
00:35:14,199 --> 00:35:17,519
a singer. They just lost their main singer. They had

702
00:35:17,559 --> 00:35:19,920
a replacement singer for just a little while, did the

703
00:35:19,960 --> 00:35:20,760
live shows with them.

704
00:35:20,760 --> 00:35:21,119
Speaker 3: You know who?

705
00:35:21,119 --> 00:35:23,840
Speaker 2: This was no Tony childs. You might remember the hit

706
00:35:24,119 --> 00:35:27,639
Don't Walk Away from nineteen eighty eight. Yeah, so Tony

707
00:35:27,719 --> 00:35:30,519
Child sang that song. She was the singer for Berlin

708
00:35:30,679 --> 00:35:34,400
for just a brief period before Terry Nunn joined the band. Wow,

709
00:35:34,880 --> 00:35:38,000
so Berlin had gotten started by a guy named John Crawford.

710
00:35:38,079 --> 00:35:41,039
Yes they did, Okay, Terry Nunn ends up leaving to

711
00:35:41,239 --> 00:35:44,239
become an actress in seventy nine. They get somebody else

712
00:35:44,239 --> 00:35:46,320
to come in to sing, but the record labels who

713
00:35:46,320 --> 00:35:48,559
were interested were like, well, we're really more interested with

714
00:35:48,639 --> 00:35:51,199
that other singer than with your new singer, right, and

715
00:35:51,440 --> 00:35:53,079
like okay, well let's see if we can get her back.

716
00:35:53,119 --> 00:35:55,679
They get her back, but by this time, John Crawford's

717
00:35:55,679 --> 00:35:59,000
got his own other, separate band that's really his main project.

718
00:35:59,039 --> 00:36:01,239
In this Berlin one thing is just his kind of

719
00:36:01,239 --> 00:36:04,639
for fun thing. So they record this song called the Metro. Yeah,

720
00:36:04,679 --> 00:36:05,960
and it ends up being a success.

721
00:36:06,119 --> 00:36:07,039
Speaker 3: I love that song.

722
00:36:07,360 --> 00:36:09,039
Speaker 2: Okay, well, let's listen to it here.

723
00:36:11,719 --> 00:36:28,480
Speaker 4: Ball I'm solving same next to me by on the.

724
00:36:31,599 --> 00:36:32,440
Speaker 3: It's fantastic.

725
00:36:32,519 --> 00:36:35,599
Speaker 2: Yeah. So now Berlin is starting to be successful and

726
00:36:35,679 --> 00:36:37,920
John Crawford's like, oh well, I guess I gotta go

727
00:36:38,039 --> 00:36:40,519
back over here. He's other band, Fahrenheit, has to get

728
00:36:40,639 --> 00:36:43,480
left behind and he goes off with Berlin to start

729
00:36:43,480 --> 00:36:47,199
doing music. And by nineteen eighty four they are saying

730
00:36:47,239 --> 00:36:51,360
to themselves, Okay, we have to get Giorgio Moroder to

731
00:36:51,400 --> 00:36:53,719
come and help us do an album. Yes all we

732
00:36:53,760 --> 00:36:55,440
need if we can just get him to come. And

733
00:36:55,440 --> 00:36:56,559
they're like, how much do we have?

734
00:36:57,519 --> 00:36:58,000
Speaker 3: Not enough?

735
00:36:58,079 --> 00:37:01,280
Speaker 2: Not much? Do we have enough for a song? How

736
00:37:01,360 --> 00:37:04,880
much for just one reem? Yes, you have enough for

737
00:37:05,079 --> 00:37:08,840
just one song. So once again this is the stars aligning. Yep.

738
00:37:09,000 --> 00:37:11,719
So Georgio Moroder comes in to help them with the

739
00:37:11,800 --> 00:37:13,840
song No More Words.

740
00:37:22,960 --> 00:37:25,960
Speaker 3: Which is a wonderful song. I absolutely love it.

741
00:37:26,039 --> 00:37:29,039
Speaker 2: You're a big Vision Quest faman, right, I love Vision Question. Yeah.

742
00:37:29,079 --> 00:37:31,400
So it's featured in Vision Quest. It is a top

743
00:37:31,440 --> 00:37:36,239
forty hit. But the big news is that while they

744
00:37:36,239 --> 00:37:39,840
are in the process of producing that song, Georgio Moroder

745
00:37:39,880 --> 00:37:43,400
comes running into the room saying, oh my gosh, I

746
00:37:43,440 --> 00:37:45,960
have this big song for this big new movie with

747
00:37:46,039 --> 00:37:47,840
Tom Cruise, and it's coming out in the summer and

748
00:37:47,880 --> 00:37:50,000
it's gonna be the biggest movie of all time and

749
00:37:50,280 --> 00:37:53,920
you should sing the song. And Terry Nunn is like yes,

750
00:37:54,280 --> 00:37:57,320
and John Crawford's like, wait a minute, roll on, why

751
00:37:57,400 --> 00:37:58,760
would we do somebody else's song?

752
00:37:58,880 --> 00:38:01,239
Speaker 3: Terry Nunn says that is not the final nail, but

753
00:38:01,320 --> 00:38:03,880
one of the nails in the coffin that split Berlin

754
00:38:04,039 --> 00:38:05,880
and did them in essentially.

755
00:38:05,559 --> 00:38:09,559
Speaker 2: Because they never really had a successful song that even

756
00:38:09,599 --> 00:38:12,320
came close to what Take My Breath Away did.

757
00:38:12,480 --> 00:38:14,840
Speaker 3: It won the Academy Award, yep, and it won the

758
00:38:14,840 --> 00:38:18,039
Golden Globe. Yeah, it was a huge Mangas song, maybe

759
00:38:18,039 --> 00:38:19,559
one of the biggest songs in nineteen eighty six.

760
00:38:19,639 --> 00:38:23,280
Speaker 2: It allows Berlin to travel the world doing concerts, but

761
00:38:23,719 --> 00:38:27,840
they're frustrated. The band members are frustrated because the song

762
00:38:27,880 --> 00:38:29,760
that everybody wants to hear them play is not even

763
00:38:29,800 --> 00:38:32,599
their song, right, And so yeah, it was it was

764
00:38:32,679 --> 00:38:37,280
the spark that lit the dynamite that would destroy the band.

765
00:38:37,360 --> 00:38:39,960
Speaker 3: Here's the thing. When you listen to the song the metro,

766
00:38:40,880 --> 00:38:44,960
it's very pop, very new wave, very different than Take

767
00:38:44,960 --> 00:38:45,639
My Breath Away.

768
00:38:45,800 --> 00:38:47,880
Speaker 2: By the way, the name Berlin these this is a

769
00:38:47,920 --> 00:38:50,119
group from LA. When I heard him talking the first

770
00:38:50,199 --> 00:38:53,519
I'm like, these guys have American accents, right, Yeah, So

771
00:38:53,639 --> 00:38:55,760
they just picked the name because they thought it sounded

772
00:38:55,760 --> 00:38:58,360
European and exotic. It had nothing to they have no

773
00:38:58,440 --> 00:39:01,840
connection with Germany whatsoever. Well, they were onto something there,

774
00:39:01,840 --> 00:39:05,199
I guess. Steve Lucather talks about how Toto had written

775
00:39:05,199 --> 00:39:07,559
a song to be the love theme for Top Gun.

776
00:39:07,719 --> 00:39:08,159
That's right.

777
00:39:08,360 --> 00:39:24,840
Speaker 3: That song is called only You. I actually think it's

778
00:39:24,840 --> 00:39:26,719
a good song. It's not Taking My breath Away.

779
00:39:26,840 --> 00:39:28,199
Speaker 2: No, but it could have been.

780
00:39:28,519 --> 00:39:29,000
Speaker 3: Maybe it could.

781
00:39:29,039 --> 00:39:30,880
Speaker 2: I mean if you played that song during the love

782
00:39:30,920 --> 00:39:32,840
scene between Charlie and Pete.

783
00:39:32,920 --> 00:39:36,360
Speaker 3: Maybe have you heard the Motel's version of taking My

784
00:39:36,400 --> 00:39:57,960
breath Away, Take.

785
00:39:57,840 --> 00:40:01,039
Speaker 6: My breath Away?

786
00:40:02,039 --> 00:40:04,360
Speaker 2: I have heard that. Yeah, and it's not bad, it's

787
00:40:04,679 --> 00:40:07,519
but it's definitely it's still it's not the production that

788
00:40:07,800 --> 00:40:08,480
this was.

789
00:40:08,880 --> 00:40:11,880
Speaker 3: Okay, here's the thing. Yeah, she's got a great voice.

790
00:40:12,280 --> 00:40:16,639
It's not as desperate sounding, as passionate sounding as Terry

791
00:40:16,760 --> 00:40:17,119
Nunn is.

792
00:40:17,440 --> 00:40:19,760
Speaker 2: So she talked about that at this point in her

793
00:40:19,880 --> 00:40:23,480
life she was down, she was sad. This was not

794
00:40:23,639 --> 00:40:26,639
a romantic feeling that she had when she sang the song.

795
00:40:26,760 --> 00:40:30,480
This is a depressed sad sound, which is you can

796
00:40:30,519 --> 00:40:33,280
hear it, Yes, you can. She talked about being sad

797
00:40:33,519 --> 00:40:37,280
and sad because she wasn't involved in a romantic relationship, right,

798
00:40:37,360 --> 00:40:39,119
and she hadn't had one in a while. You know

799
00:40:39,119 --> 00:40:42,639
who she dated in nineteen eighty five, John Crawford, Michael Hutches,

800
00:40:43,159 --> 00:40:44,480
What of Nxcess?

801
00:40:45,199 --> 00:40:45,639
Speaker 3: Really?

802
00:40:45,840 --> 00:40:46,239
Speaker 2: Yep?

803
00:40:47,119 --> 00:40:47,679
Speaker 3: Interesting?

804
00:40:47,960 --> 00:40:50,639
Speaker 2: Interesting, And then he went back to Australia and.

805
00:40:50,599 --> 00:40:52,960
Speaker 6: They were Yeah.

806
00:40:53,000 --> 00:40:56,719
Speaker 3: There's one change between the Motels song and the Berlin

807
00:40:56,920 --> 00:40:59,519
song that I think you probably have to credit to

808
00:40:59,559 --> 00:41:02,719
Terry Nue. Okay, there's a line in the Berlin version

809
00:41:02,719 --> 00:41:05,440
of the song where she says, if only for today,

810
00:41:06,559 --> 00:41:44,760
I am unafraid, and it's that emotional, desperation loving romantic

811
00:41:45,119 --> 00:41:48,320
line from the movie, and that line is missing from

812
00:41:48,320 --> 00:41:49,280
the Motel's version.

813
00:41:49,719 --> 00:41:54,039
Speaker 2: Terry takes her mom to a party at Georgio Moroder's house,

814
00:41:55,119 --> 00:41:59,719
and Georgia Moroder also already has the Academy Award for

815
00:42:00,039 --> 00:42:00,679
flash Dance.

816
00:42:01,079 --> 00:42:01,239
Speaker 5: Right.

817
00:42:01,599 --> 00:42:04,320
Speaker 2: She's got a screening room, big big screen for the

818
00:42:04,360 --> 00:42:07,880
screening room, of course, and he's got his Academy awards

819
00:42:07,880 --> 00:42:10,519
sitting on the shelf on the left hand side. And

820
00:42:11,159 --> 00:42:15,760
Terry Nunn's mother is alone with Georgio Moroder in the

821
00:42:15,800 --> 00:42:19,360
screening room and they're sitting there and she says, you

822
00:42:19,400 --> 00:42:20,960
see that space on the right hand side of the

823
00:42:21,000 --> 00:42:24,320
screen that will be for the Oscar for Terry's song,

824
00:42:24,480 --> 00:42:26,960
And Georgia is like, yes, well I hope so, yes,

825
00:42:27,559 --> 00:42:29,360
she was correct.

826
00:42:29,800 --> 00:42:30,440
Speaker 3: She was right.

827
00:42:31,000 --> 00:42:34,920
Speaker 2: And so when it gets nominated, they called up Terry

828
00:42:35,039 --> 00:42:36,239
Nunn and I think she was over.

829
00:42:36,679 --> 00:42:37,440
Speaker 3: She was in Taiwan.

830
00:42:37,559 --> 00:42:40,679
Speaker 2: Yeah, I was gonna say, Asia, yeah, Taiwan. Yes, and

831
00:42:40,719 --> 00:42:42,639
they're like, hey, we'd like for you to come perform

832
00:42:42,679 --> 00:42:44,360
live at the Oscar ceremony.

833
00:42:44,480 --> 00:42:45,840
Speaker 3: Uh huh, yeah sure.

834
00:42:45,920 --> 00:42:48,119
Speaker 2: And then she's like and then in my twenty three

835
00:42:48,239 --> 00:42:51,239
year old, over confident self said okay, do I get

836
00:42:51,280 --> 00:42:53,000
to perform the whole song? And they said, well, no,

837
00:42:53,039 --> 00:42:55,239
it's going to be part of a medley of the

838
00:42:55,320 --> 00:42:57,840
other nominees. And she's like, well, I'd really prefer if

839
00:42:57,880 --> 00:42:59,920
I could just perform the whole thing, and they're like, well,

840
00:43:00,119 --> 00:43:01,760
that's not what we're doing. She's like, then I don't

841
00:43:01,800 --> 00:43:04,280
want to do it. To this day, she regrets that decision,

842
00:43:04,360 --> 00:43:05,719
specifically for her mom.

843
00:43:05,880 --> 00:43:06,079
Speaker 3: YEP.

844
00:43:06,280 --> 00:43:08,719
Speaker 2: Definitely the video for this song, she's just kind of

845
00:43:08,760 --> 00:43:12,440
wandering around, singing sadly amongst a bunch of aircraft, right, Yeah,

846
00:43:12,519 --> 00:43:13,559
not much else to it than.

847
00:43:13,480 --> 00:43:15,760
Speaker 3: That no, and everybody else looks bored except for her,

848
00:43:16,840 --> 00:43:19,320
which is so sad to me because it's such a

849
00:43:19,320 --> 00:43:21,679
great song, and I know that everybody in the band

850
00:43:21,719 --> 00:43:22,320
resented it.

851
00:43:22,400 --> 00:43:24,800
Speaker 2: I just don't understand. I mean, I look at things

852
00:43:24,880 --> 00:43:28,519
we talked about Vangelis and how he didn't do things

853
00:43:28,519 --> 00:43:31,599
according to Hollywood standards except for a little bit so

854
00:43:31,639 --> 00:43:33,960
that it could make him basically make him enough money

855
00:43:34,000 --> 00:43:35,880
and give him the opportunity to do the things that

856
00:43:35,920 --> 00:43:37,639
he wanted. If you're in a band and you have

857
00:43:37,679 --> 00:43:40,960
a song that allows you to tour the world, yeah and

858
00:43:41,519 --> 00:43:44,519
pure at the charts, and you've got name recognition, why

859
00:43:44,719 --> 00:43:47,880
be so begrudging about having to perform it when it

860
00:43:47,920 --> 00:43:49,960
would allow you to do so much more?

861
00:43:50,119 --> 00:43:50,480
Speaker 6: I don't know.

862
00:43:50,639 --> 00:43:53,760
Speaker 3: I have no idea. Yeah, this song so good that

863
00:43:53,920 --> 00:43:57,480
when they showed top Gun on TV in the United

864
00:43:57,559 --> 00:43:59,920
Kingdom in nineteen ninety take My breath Away reaching a

865
00:44:00,199 --> 00:44:00,960
three in the charts.

866
00:44:01,159 --> 00:44:03,320
Speaker 2: Wow, it's awesome.

867
00:44:03,480 --> 00:44:05,559
Speaker 3: By the way, Jessica Simpson has a version of this here.

868
00:44:05,639 --> 00:44:07,480
Speaker 2: Yeah I remember that. Yeah, Yeah, it's pretty good.

869
00:44:07,480 --> 00:44:09,559
Speaker 3: All right, Hit stop on your tape player, kick it out,

870
00:44:09,599 --> 00:44:13,719
flip it over side to Talk Gun soundtrack leading off

871
00:44:14,079 --> 00:44:15,480
the song Hot Summer Nights.

872
00:44:25,719 --> 00:44:28,360
Speaker 2: Okay, this song is by Miami Sound Machine. Yes, it

873
00:44:28,400 --> 00:44:30,760
was written by a guy named Michael Joy. But this

874
00:44:30,840 --> 00:44:35,119
is Miami Sound Machines music. It is. It's definitively them, right.

875
00:44:35,400 --> 00:44:38,079
Speaker 3: It's pop, It's got that Latin feel to it.

876
00:44:38,360 --> 00:44:42,559
Speaker 2: Yeah. So Miami Sound Machine was originally called Miami Latin Boys.

877
00:44:42,639 --> 00:44:46,320
When the band first formed. Yep, So, Gloria and her

878
00:44:46,360 --> 00:44:48,960
cousin were at a wedding. There were guests at a wedding.

879
00:44:49,199 --> 00:44:51,119
They knew some of the guys in the band and

880
00:44:51,159 --> 00:44:55,000
there were some, you know, standard Cuban songs that they knew,

881
00:44:55,039 --> 00:44:57,159
and so they convinced the girls to come up and sing.

882
00:44:57,840 --> 00:45:00,320
They did such a good job that they said you

883
00:45:00,320 --> 00:45:01,960
should join the band, and that is how the name

884
00:45:02,039 --> 00:45:06,880
changed from Miami Latin Boys to the Miami Sound Machine.

885
00:45:06,960 --> 00:45:09,079
She said, I will do it, but I have to

886
00:45:09,079 --> 00:45:11,000
be able to keep going to school. So they did

887
00:45:11,239 --> 00:45:20,360
with her, primarily weekend stuff. She was getting her degree,

888
00:45:20,639 --> 00:45:23,760
including a minor in French, and so she worked at

889
00:45:23,800 --> 00:45:28,079
the Miami International Airport as a translator for English, Spanish

890
00:45:28,119 --> 00:45:30,920
and French. And it was so good that she was

891
00:45:30,960 --> 00:45:35,199
approached by the Cia to become a employee.

892
00:45:35,519 --> 00:45:36,840
Speaker 3: That is unbelievable.

893
00:45:36,880 --> 00:45:37,239
Speaker 2: There you go.

894
00:45:37,679 --> 00:45:40,719
Speaker 3: I told you Gloria's father was a police escort in

895
00:45:40,880 --> 00:45:42,880
Cuba for President Batista.

896
00:45:43,119 --> 00:45:43,400
Speaker 2: Yeah.

897
00:45:43,440 --> 00:45:45,719
Speaker 3: So as soon as Castro took over, they had to split,

898
00:45:46,360 --> 00:45:48,480
she said. They packed up everything they had flew to

899
00:45:48,519 --> 00:45:51,159
Miami as soon as possible. Her father was like, well,

900
00:45:51,199 --> 00:45:53,599
this is just until we can get back in power

901
00:45:53,599 --> 00:45:54,440
and go back to Cuba.

902
00:45:54,519 --> 00:45:54,719
Speaker 2: Yeah.

903
00:45:54,800 --> 00:45:56,599
Speaker 3: So he's like, well, I'm going to go and get

904
00:45:56,639 --> 00:45:59,199
involved in this thing that became known as the Bay

905
00:45:59,239 --> 00:45:59,800
of Pigs.

906
00:46:00,039 --> 00:46:02,079
Speaker 2: I mean, it was the attempt to get back into power.

907
00:46:02,199 --> 00:46:02,440
Speaker 4: Right.

908
00:46:02,519 --> 00:46:05,760
Speaker 3: They captured him. He was in Cuba's prison for eighteen months.

909
00:46:05,880 --> 00:46:08,480
They let him out to go back to Miami, and

910
00:46:08,519 --> 00:46:11,400
then he served in the US military in Vietnam.

911
00:46:11,679 --> 00:46:12,119
Speaker 2: Wow.

912
00:46:12,280 --> 00:46:15,000
Speaker 3: So they broke through in nineteen eighty five, right before

913
00:46:15,039 --> 00:46:19,800
this song mm hm with the Latin song Congam.

914
00:46:19,760 --> 00:46:20,880
Speaker 6: Shake your baby baby, do that?

915
00:46:20,960 --> 00:46:23,559
Speaker 3: Gong god, No, you can't control yourself any longa come

916
00:46:23,760 --> 00:46:25,400
shake your baby baby do that gon god?

917
00:46:25,400 --> 00:46:27,199
Speaker 6: No, you can't control yourself any Nanga.

918
00:46:27,679 --> 00:46:29,960
Speaker 3: You cannot not dance when you hear this song? How

919
00:46:30,000 --> 00:46:35,719
can you not shake your maracas to this song? The

920
00:46:35,760 --> 00:46:37,800
funny thing is is that nobody thought this song would

921
00:46:37,800 --> 00:46:40,559
work because the American pop audiences would think this is

922
00:46:40,559 --> 00:46:42,760
too Latin, and the Latin audiences would think this is

923
00:46:42,800 --> 00:46:44,599
too American. I'll tell you what. I went to her

924
00:46:44,719 --> 00:46:47,840
restaurant in Orlando. Yeah, and they played conga about every

925
00:46:47,880 --> 00:46:53,000
five minutes, and guess what, I danced every single time.

926
00:46:53,159 --> 00:46:57,760
You shog your moroccas every time. This is a great song.

927
00:46:57,840 --> 00:47:00,280
I love it. They play this in the bar when

928
00:47:00,280 --> 00:47:02,440
Mav and Charlie are we just first getting to know

929
00:47:02,480 --> 00:47:05,880
each other. But really this is right before Gloria Estepon

930
00:47:06,320 --> 00:47:08,000
took off. They changed the name of the band too,

931
00:47:08,440 --> 00:47:11,920
Gloria Estefan and the Miamis Aum Machine and then finally

932
00:47:12,119 --> 00:47:15,679
just Gloria Estepon. So the next summer she would have

933
00:47:15,719 --> 00:47:18,119
the song Rhythm Is Gonna Get You, which was in

934
00:47:18,159 --> 00:47:20,440
the movie Steakout, which was one of my favorites from

935
00:47:20,440 --> 00:47:22,800
the summer of eighty seven. Just a great song and

936
00:47:22,840 --> 00:47:24,639
a great movie. So anything else on this.

937
00:47:24,599 --> 00:47:25,440
Speaker 2: One, Nope?

938
00:47:25,800 --> 00:47:27,000
Speaker 3: All right, next song.

939
00:47:27,119 --> 00:47:30,039
Speaker 2: This is the second song on the side to Heaven

940
00:47:30,280 --> 00:47:38,079
in Your Eyes by Lover Boy.

941
00:47:43,239 --> 00:47:46,679
Speaker 6: I can tell by the look in your eyes you've.

942
00:47:46,400 --> 00:47:51,320
Speaker 3: Been heard it. Whoa, whoa. I love this song too, man,

943
00:47:51,360 --> 00:47:54,440
it is irresistible to me.

944
00:47:54,639 --> 00:47:56,519
Speaker 2: The lead singer for lover Boy is Mike Greena.

945
00:47:56,679 --> 00:47:56,840
Speaker 5: Right.

946
00:47:56,920 --> 00:48:00,239
Speaker 2: We talked about him in our Footloose soundtrack episode. That's

947
00:48:00,320 --> 00:48:03,800
right because he did the duet with Ann Wilson and

948
00:48:03,840 --> 00:48:07,239
Wilson Heart Yes in the song called Almost Paradise. Yes,

949
00:48:07,639 --> 00:48:10,199
every time I hear Heaven in your eyes, like I

950
00:48:10,239 --> 00:48:13,519
start to sing the lyrics to almost Paradise because it's

951
00:48:13,559 --> 00:48:31,159
the same chord progression. The key is one step different,

952
00:48:31,199 --> 00:48:33,400
but it is the same chord progression. But I don't care.

953
00:48:33,480 --> 00:48:34,719
I love them both. They're great.

954
00:48:35,079 --> 00:48:36,800
Speaker 3: I love them both. I told you the other night,

955
00:48:36,880 --> 00:48:41,239
I said, this song is pure cheese, but it's irresistible

956
00:48:41,239 --> 00:48:43,199
to me, and I think it finishes really strong. I

957
00:48:43,239 --> 00:48:44,159
love the end of this song.

958
00:48:44,360 --> 00:48:44,559
Speaker 2: Yeah.

959
00:48:44,840 --> 00:48:47,760
Speaker 3: This peaked at number twelve in nineteen eighty six. See again,

960
00:48:48,079 --> 00:48:51,480
you got a video right, right. Even the song with

961
00:48:51,760 --> 00:48:55,079
an awful video right charted, it did chart.

962
00:48:55,199 --> 00:48:57,639
Speaker 2: I think we've found the secret to why Cheap Trick

963
00:48:57,760 --> 00:48:58,920
had not hit the charts.

964
00:48:59,039 --> 00:49:02,079
Speaker 3: MTV in nineteen eight was a force.

965
00:49:01,960 --> 00:49:06,199
Speaker 2: In pop culture, but interestingly, keyboardist Doug Johnson not in

966
00:49:06,199 --> 00:49:09,159
the video because he felt like the movie glorified war

967
00:49:09,239 --> 00:49:10,320
and he didn't want to be part of that.

968
00:49:10,440 --> 00:49:13,000
Speaker 3: So this song came out on the tail end of

969
00:49:13,320 --> 00:49:14,679
the Love and Every Minute.

970
00:49:14,400 --> 00:49:15,000
Speaker 2: Of It album.

971
00:49:15,199 --> 00:49:19,079
Speaker 3: Okay, produced by mister Robert John but Lang Oh, okay,

972
00:49:19,159 --> 00:49:21,639
very good. Yeah, but that album had some big hits,

973
00:49:21,639 --> 00:49:24,000
and I thought Loved Boy getting ready to make their

974
00:49:24,039 --> 00:49:27,519
comeback didn't quite happen. No, Their next album, called Notorious,

975
00:49:27,679 --> 00:49:30,880
had songs written by John bon Jovi, Richie Sambora. Surely

976
00:49:30,960 --> 00:49:31,920
those are gonna be hits.

977
00:49:31,800 --> 00:49:33,880
Speaker 2: Right, No, No, it didn't work, not so much.

978
00:49:33,960 --> 00:49:36,039
Speaker 3: No, Sadly, that was kind of the last we've heard

979
00:49:36,039 --> 00:49:39,400
of Love Boy, right. This song plays in the airport

980
00:49:39,599 --> 00:49:42,519
when Goose meets Carol. That's the song kind of playing

981
00:49:42,559 --> 00:49:43,920
over the speakers in the airport.

982
00:49:43,960 --> 00:49:46,159
Speaker 2: Okay, okay, so interesting, there you go.

983
00:49:46,280 --> 00:49:48,880
Speaker 3: Anything else, Nope, all right, moving on. The next song

984
00:49:48,880 --> 00:49:51,920
on the album is called Through the Fire by Larry Green.

985
00:50:02,159 --> 00:50:05,880
I'm trying to stop the gushing.

986
00:50:06,000 --> 00:50:06,400
Speaker 2: You love this.

987
00:50:06,599 --> 00:50:07,400
Speaker 3: I love this song too.

988
00:50:07,599 --> 00:50:10,800
Speaker 2: This is actually a really good song. I don't remember

989
00:50:10,840 --> 00:50:13,440
it from the eighties at all, but listen to the soundtrack.

990
00:50:13,480 --> 00:50:15,280
I don't know why this song could not have been

991
00:50:15,320 --> 00:50:17,159
a single with a video, It could have been a hit.

992
00:50:17,400 --> 00:50:17,760
Speaker 3: Totally.

993
00:50:18,199 --> 00:50:20,719
Speaker 2: At this point, I couldn't tell you anything about Larry Green.

994
00:50:20,719 --> 00:50:23,719
Speaker 3: So I looked hard for stuff on Larry Green. Tell me,

995
00:50:23,760 --> 00:50:25,880
here's what I found out. Yeah, he was the lead

996
00:50:25,920 --> 00:50:45,800
singer for a group called Fortune Okay, that had a

997
00:50:45,920 --> 00:50:49,440
hit song off of the Last American Virgin soundtrack in

998
00:50:49,519 --> 00:50:50,280
nineteen eighty two.

999
00:50:50,480 --> 00:50:53,079
Speaker 2: Okay, that's all I got. Here's what I got. Okay.

1000
00:50:53,360 --> 00:50:57,079
His last name is Green, Yes, and his first name

1001
00:50:57,760 --> 00:50:58,159
is Larry.

1002
00:51:01,760 --> 00:51:05,079
Speaker 3: Not a made a really good song on a really

1003
00:51:05,079 --> 00:51:08,039
great album that did not get the credit it was deserved.

1004
00:51:08,320 --> 00:51:11,360
This is like the Diet Cola version of danger Zone

1005
00:51:11,360 --> 00:51:15,159
to me, right, yeah, it's it's pumping' rock. It doesn't

1006
00:51:15,280 --> 00:51:18,719
quite have the Kinney Loggins greatness, but it's in the

1007
00:51:18,760 --> 00:51:21,920
same vein, right. It's maybe it was one of the

1008
00:51:21,960 --> 00:51:23,159
second or third placers.

1009
00:51:23,639 --> 00:51:26,199
Speaker 2: I'm just thinking they had the music and they're like, Okay,

1010
00:51:26,199 --> 00:51:28,239
we need a singer, and they're like, we've used every

1011
00:51:28,320 --> 00:51:32,800
singer we know. What about Larry Who's Larry Larry Green

1012
00:51:32,880 --> 00:51:36,639
my neighbor exactly, Sure, bring him over there.

1013
00:51:36,559 --> 00:51:40,960
Speaker 3: You go, Larry Green. I don't care. It's a good song.

1014
00:51:41,360 --> 00:51:44,079
It's not a skipper. I like it now. This is

1015
00:51:44,159 --> 00:51:47,599
the one song that I cannot find in the movie. Like,

1016
00:51:47,639 --> 00:51:49,519
I don't think they play it anywhere in the movie.

1017
00:51:49,880 --> 00:51:52,039
Speaker 2: Okay, I wonder if Larry Green is still making money

1018
00:51:52,079 --> 00:51:54,880
off of this thing, just I hope, So that'd be great.

1019
00:51:56,559 --> 00:52:00,119
Landed a random song on a gigantic hit album and

1020
00:52:00,159 --> 00:52:03,320
has been able to you know, retire to Malibu or whatever.

1021
00:52:04,960 --> 00:52:08,360
Nothing in Maverick, unfortunately from Larry Green. All right, you're

1022
00:52:08,400 --> 00:52:12,119
ready to move on to Destination Unknown? Yes, all right,

1023
00:52:12,159 --> 00:52:16,559
here we go number four on side to Destination Unknown

1024
00:52:16,639 --> 00:52:18,719
by Marietta.

1025
00:52:20,960 --> 00:52:28,440
Speaker 6: Us See and it's passing. Write mine the best is

1026
00:52:28,599 --> 00:52:31,679
the fastest, don't you've been in time to be?

1027
00:52:34,800 --> 00:52:39,199
Speaker 2: Okay, So Mariatta not a singer that I'm familiar with.

1028
00:52:39,639 --> 00:52:42,360
Apparently she had a song on the movie.

1029
00:52:42,280 --> 00:52:44,639
Speaker 3: Perfect Yes by Design.

1030
00:52:44,320 --> 00:52:48,599
Speaker 2: By Design, speaking of you know, aerobics and jazzer size clothes.

1031
00:52:48,760 --> 00:52:50,679
I don't know that they're playing volleyball, but you know,

1032
00:52:50,800 --> 00:52:54,159
Jamie Lee Curtis Hey. And then she also had the

1033
00:52:54,239 --> 00:52:57,119
title song for a movie called Fire and Ice Yes

1034
00:52:57,320 --> 00:52:59,920
from Europe, Yes, and apparently charted pretty well over it.

1035
00:53:00,239 --> 00:53:01,960
But it's not one that I'm familiar with it all.

1036
00:53:15,760 --> 00:53:18,159
Speaker 3: She has another song from the sequel to Fire and.

1037
00:53:18,199 --> 00:53:20,639
Speaker 2: Eyes, Fire and Icier.

1038
00:53:20,920 --> 00:53:22,559
Speaker 3: It's a fire, ice and dynamite.

1039
00:53:24,119 --> 00:53:28,760
Speaker 2: Okay, does dynamite beat ice dynamite? How does that work?

1040
00:53:28,840 --> 00:53:30,400
Speaker 3: Paper scissor rocks dynamite?

1041
00:53:30,519 --> 00:53:31,079
Speaker 2: Gotcha?

1042
00:53:31,199 --> 00:53:33,079
Speaker 3: I don't know. I like this song. It's a good

1043
00:53:33,119 --> 00:53:36,280
pop song. She's got a great voice. I love this album.

1044
00:53:36,119 --> 00:53:37,079
I'm blowing through it.

1045
00:53:37,280 --> 00:53:37,519
Speaker 2: Yeah.

1046
00:53:37,599 --> 00:53:39,880
Speaker 3: This is played during the graduation when they hand out

1047
00:53:39,920 --> 00:53:42,239
the infamous, non existent Top Gun trophy.

1048
00:53:42,400 --> 00:53:45,800
Speaker 2: Ah okay, now I remember, yes, Okay, very good, Okay,

1049
00:53:46,000 --> 00:53:49,039
not a skipper. It's not bad. It's very eighties. It

1050
00:53:49,519 --> 00:53:52,519
kind of marries the style of Top Gun with the

1051
00:53:52,519 --> 00:53:55,280
style of Beverly Hill's cop but decent song. Yeah.

1052
00:53:55,360 --> 00:53:57,679
Speaker 3: She is now a scene coach in California.

1053
00:53:57,760 --> 00:53:58,199
Speaker 2: Oh cool?

1054
00:53:58,320 --> 00:53:58,719
Speaker 3: Yeah?

1055
00:53:58,719 --> 00:54:01,480
Speaker 2: All right? Are we ready to move to the final

1056
00:54:02,119 --> 00:54:06,320
song on side to last song on the album?

1057
00:54:06,800 --> 00:54:12,559
Speaker 3: Play the bell please, sir. This is the Top Gun

1058
00:54:12,840 --> 00:54:15,519
theme by Harold Voldemarn.

1059
00:54:30,880 --> 00:54:34,039
Speaker 2: Dude. Is the hair standing up?

1060
00:54:34,159 --> 00:54:37,239
Speaker 3: They are heard every time I hear this song.

1061
00:54:37,840 --> 00:54:41,599
Speaker 2: The underlying music is such a great intro to the movie,

1062
00:54:41,679 --> 00:54:44,960
which they again they used in Top Gun Maverick as well.

1063
00:54:45,239 --> 00:54:47,599
It did that. It brought the hair standing up on

1064
00:54:47,639 --> 00:54:50,519
my arms because I'm like, oh, yeah, they're they're doing

1065
00:54:50,559 --> 00:54:53,119
this right. They are doing it right for the retro

1066
00:54:53,239 --> 00:54:54,280
fans for sure.

1067
00:54:54,519 --> 00:54:58,679
Speaker 3: Absolutely, when this song played in Maverick, my eyes got misty,

1068
00:54:58,840 --> 00:55:01,960
chills standing up my arms. I'm like, this is what

1069
00:55:02,000 --> 00:55:03,960
I've been waiting thirty six years to see.

1070
00:55:04,519 --> 00:55:08,360
Speaker 2: Yeah. So you told the story about how Harold Faltemyer

1071
00:55:08,480 --> 00:55:10,679
was having dinner with Jerry bruk Khimer and Don Simpson

1072
00:55:10,840 --> 00:55:13,079
and how they were like, well, we still need this

1073
00:55:13,199 --> 00:55:15,920
kind of antheonymy song, and Harold Faltemyer's like, yeah, I

1074
00:55:15,920 --> 00:55:17,599
think I kind of have an idea for that. I've

1075
00:55:17,639 --> 00:55:19,519
got the song. I think it's going to be perfect

1076
00:55:19,559 --> 00:55:21,639
for you guys. And Don Simpson's like, great, let's go

1077
00:55:21,679 --> 00:55:22,239
listen to it.

1078
00:55:22,440 --> 00:55:23,639
Speaker 3: Like put down your fork.

1079
00:55:23,960 --> 00:55:26,519
Speaker 2: He's like, I mean, I can record it for you.

1080
00:55:26,559 --> 00:55:28,719
And he's like, Noah, we're going to your house, right,

1081
00:55:29,559 --> 00:55:30,599
We're going to your studio.

1082
00:55:30,679 --> 00:55:33,880
Speaker 3: He's like mid chew, going, oh, well, let's.

1083
00:55:33,880 --> 00:55:35,719
Speaker 2: You know what, I don't want dessert. I'll see you

1084
00:55:35,760 --> 00:55:36,280
guys there.

1085
00:55:37,960 --> 00:55:40,519
Speaker 3: He said it wasn't a lie, but it wasn't completely

1086
00:55:40,559 --> 00:55:41,199
true either.

1087
00:55:41,599 --> 00:55:44,559
Speaker 2: Well, again, as I mentioned, he has perfect pitch. So

1088
00:55:44,960 --> 00:55:47,519
the idea that he could put a song together in

1089
00:55:47,679 --> 00:55:50,239
his head and have the ability to play it and

1090
00:55:50,280 --> 00:55:52,039
write it as soon as he arrives at the studio

1091
00:55:52,360 --> 00:55:55,280
is not unbelievable. Yeah, and he had I think he

1092
00:55:55,360 --> 00:55:57,360
just had a buddy there that could play the guitar,

1093
00:55:57,440 --> 00:55:59,599
and so he's like, Okay, here's what I need you

1094
00:55:59,639 --> 00:56:02,519
to play, and I'll play my part. And Simpson and

1095
00:56:02,519 --> 00:56:04,519
Bruckheimer arrive and they're like, this is it.

1096
00:56:04,679 --> 00:56:07,280
Speaker 3: This is great, this is amazing. Tony Scott would play

1097
00:56:07,280 --> 00:56:09,079
it for Tom Cruise on the set of the movie,

1098
00:56:09,159 --> 00:56:10,400
just kind of get him in the tone.

1099
00:56:10,519 --> 00:56:10,880
Speaker 4: Yeah.

1100
00:56:10,920 --> 00:56:14,880
Speaker 2: We mentioned that Harold Faltemeyer is a sound engineer, you know,

1101
00:56:14,920 --> 00:56:17,960
in addition to being a writer, right, and so he

1102
00:56:18,280 --> 00:56:20,679
was engineering for Billy Idol at the time, and we

1103
00:56:20,760 --> 00:56:22,599
mentioned that Billy Idol was one of the guys that

1104
00:56:22,679 --> 00:56:26,280
the real Top Gun pilots that's listened to for motivation. Well,

1105
00:56:26,280 --> 00:56:30,599
as it happens, he is engineering Billy Idol's album Whiplash

1106
00:56:30,639 --> 00:56:33,039
Smile at the same time that he's doing this stuff

1107
00:56:33,039 --> 00:56:37,159
for Top Gun, and so he's there and he's got

1108
00:56:37,159 --> 00:56:39,360
this song that he's got to put down the anthem,

1109
00:56:39,559 --> 00:56:44,360
and Billy Idol's guitarist is there, Steve Stevens. He's like, hey, man,

1110
00:56:44,480 --> 00:56:46,960
could you come over and record a guitar part for

1111
00:56:47,079 --> 00:56:48,679
me in the song that I've got for this movie?

1112
00:56:48,679 --> 00:56:50,599
And Steve Stevens like, sure, I'm not doing anything.

1113
00:56:50,679 --> 00:56:51,840
Speaker 3: Yeah, really goes over there.

1114
00:56:51,840 --> 00:56:55,119
Speaker 2: It took him two hours. Yeah, two hours, he says.

1115
00:56:55,400 --> 00:56:57,880
Steve Stevens says. A few months later, Harold gives me

1116
00:56:57,920 --> 00:57:00,559
a call. He's like, hey, we're up for the Grand Yes,

1117
00:57:01,119 --> 00:57:04,880
what Yeah that song that we recorded? Oh cool?

1118
00:57:05,400 --> 00:57:07,760
Speaker 3: Yeah, so listen to this. I got a great Grammy

1119
00:57:07,800 --> 00:57:10,880
story for so. Steve Stevens is like, so, I go

1120
00:57:10,960 --> 00:57:14,599
to the Grammys and when we win for Best Instrumental,

1121
00:57:14,960 --> 00:57:18,119
they hand you a Grammy Award. Congratulations. You go up

1122
00:57:18,159 --> 00:57:19,679
to the front. He's like, well, here's the deal. You

1123
00:57:19,679 --> 00:57:22,280
don't get to keep that one. It's just a dummy award, right.

1124
00:57:22,320 --> 00:57:23,679
They just kind of hand it to you, You say

1125
00:57:23,679 --> 00:57:25,480
thank you, you walk off stage, they take it back

1126
00:57:25,480 --> 00:57:28,280
from you, then they mail you yours in the mail.

1127
00:57:28,320 --> 00:57:30,440
He says, when he opened it, it was like you

1128
00:57:30,519 --> 00:57:34,800
gotta put it together. With a screwdriver. What Yeah, And

1129
00:57:34,840 --> 00:57:37,639
so he went on MTV for something. He brought his

1130
00:57:37,719 --> 00:57:40,519
Grammy and he proceeded to put it together. While they're

1131
00:57:40,559 --> 00:57:43,920
on air together, he said, the Grammy people were not

1132
00:57:44,639 --> 00:57:45,559
happy with that.

1133
00:57:45,840 --> 00:57:46,320
Speaker 2: Yeah.

1134
00:57:46,440 --> 00:57:48,159
Speaker 3: In fact, he's like, I'm going to get in trouble

1135
00:57:48,239 --> 00:57:49,440
again for telling this story.

1136
00:57:49,519 --> 00:57:51,559
Speaker 2: I saw that interview. I saw him telling a story.

1137
00:57:51,559 --> 00:57:54,159
And that's the first time I've ever heard him speak.

1138
00:57:54,280 --> 00:57:56,320
If anybody out there doesn't know who we're talking about,

1139
00:57:56,360 --> 00:57:59,360
think about the Dirty Diana video. The guitarist with the

1140
00:57:59,639 --> 00:58:02,960
jet black ultra spikey hair, right, just looks bad to

1141
00:58:03,039 --> 00:58:05,960
the bone, right, any of the Billie Idol videos, same

1142
00:58:06,239 --> 00:58:10,599
jet black hair, screaming guitar, just down and angry the

1143
00:58:10,599 --> 00:58:13,039
whole time. And I listened to his interview and I'm like,

1144
00:58:13,199 --> 00:58:16,760
he sounds like Woody Allen. This is like the anthithesis

1145
00:58:16,800 --> 00:58:19,039
of the voice that I expected to come out of

1146
00:58:19,199 --> 00:58:20,400
Steve Stevens's face.

1147
00:58:20,840 --> 00:58:23,639
Speaker 3: He sounds like a little Jewish guy. I don't it's

1148
00:58:23,920 --> 00:58:26,079
I think you're right. I totally agree with you. He

1149
00:58:26,119 --> 00:58:29,920
looks like Nicky six and he talks like, what are

1150
00:58:29,920 --> 00:58:30,239
you Allen?

1151
00:58:30,400 --> 00:58:34,039
Speaker 2: Anyway, this song a maze balls. You need motivation for anything.

1152
00:58:34,039 --> 00:58:36,199
You're about to go out on the field, you're about

1153
00:58:36,239 --> 00:58:37,719
to go spike a volleyball.

1154
00:58:38,039 --> 00:58:40,519
Speaker 3: Yeah. So this is the last song on the Top

1155
00:58:40,559 --> 00:58:44,159
Gun Soundtrack of nineteen eighty six. Yeah, we're gonna cover

1156
00:58:44,199 --> 00:58:46,679
two more bonus songs that were in the Top Gun

1157
00:58:46,719 --> 00:58:49,519
movie in eighty six, yep, plus two from Maverick.

1158
00:58:49,719 --> 00:58:51,719
Speaker 2: Okay, so we're not done yet, not done yet.

1159
00:58:51,800 --> 00:58:53,280
Speaker 3: It's Top Gun Soundtrack plus.

1160
00:58:53,639 --> 00:58:56,199
Speaker 2: So what you may have been surprised to find out

1161
00:58:56,199 --> 00:58:58,679
when you bought the album back in nineteen eighty six

1162
00:58:59,039 --> 00:59:00,880
or when you're listening to us right now because you

1163
00:59:00,960 --> 00:59:04,639
never had the album, is that some songs which feature

1164
00:59:04,800 --> 00:59:07,639
prominently in the movie were not on the soundtrack. Right.

1165
00:59:07,800 --> 00:59:10,880
One of those songs is I Think She's lost that

1166
00:59:10,920 --> 00:59:11,519
love and feeling.

1167
00:59:12,320 --> 00:59:16,119
Speaker 3: Yeah, I hate it what she does, She's lost it.

1168
00:59:21,199 --> 00:59:25,719
Speaker 5: There's no tenderness like rep enough.

1169
00:59:28,199 --> 00:59:31,519
Speaker 2: It is maybe the most iconic song as far as

1170
00:59:31,679 --> 00:59:34,400
interior music goes in the whole movie, and they didn't

1171
00:59:34,400 --> 00:59:36,480
have it on the album. Yeah, came out on a

1172
00:59:36,519 --> 00:59:40,519
re release later on, But here is You've Lost that

1173
00:59:40,559 --> 00:59:59,719
Love and feeling by the Righteous Brothers. Okay, so how

1174
00:59:59,719 --> 01:00:04,159
many times did you sing this to some girl in

1175
01:00:04,239 --> 01:00:06,000
nineteen eighty six or nineteen eighty seven.

1176
01:00:06,119 --> 01:00:07,719
Speaker 3: Dozens, Yeah, dozens.

1177
01:00:07,920 --> 01:00:10,800
Speaker 2: It was a routine thing in our music class, Like

1178
01:00:10,880 --> 01:00:12,559
we thought we can get away with this because it's

1179
01:00:12,599 --> 01:00:14,800
music class, and every day we pick a different girl

1180
01:00:15,079 --> 01:00:16,679
and every guy in the class would go sing a

1181
01:00:16,719 --> 01:00:17,480
softer Yeah.

1182
01:00:17,559 --> 01:00:20,199
Speaker 3: It was a thing, right, Yeah, I know. I picked

1183
01:00:20,239 --> 01:00:22,039
up a girl for a date and had two of

1184
01:00:22,039 --> 01:00:24,400
my buddies come with me. Yeah, and we serenaded her

1185
01:00:24,400 --> 01:00:26,360
before we went on our date. Thank you to my buddies.

1186
01:00:26,360 --> 01:00:28,679
Who you know, Chris Alexander, one of our patreons, actually

1187
01:00:28,760 --> 01:00:29,239
was there for that.

1188
01:00:29,360 --> 01:00:29,559
Speaker 2: Yeah.

1189
01:00:29,599 --> 01:00:31,599
Speaker 3: We did a church camp, we did it at school,

1190
01:00:31,840 --> 01:00:32,840
we did it everywhere.

1191
01:00:32,960 --> 01:00:36,079
Speaker 2: Awesome. Yeah. Okay, So if you want to know the

1192
01:00:36,239 --> 01:00:39,599
Bill Medley history, go back and check out our dirty

1193
01:00:39,679 --> 01:00:42,800
Dancing track by track. I go into a great amount

1194
01:00:42,880 --> 01:00:45,920
of detail there. But part of that was how the

1195
01:00:46,000 --> 01:00:49,320
Righteous Brothers were almost done. They were doing basically like

1196
01:00:49,360 --> 01:00:51,639
one of their last shows before they were going to

1197
01:00:51,960 --> 01:00:55,239
move on to bigger and other things. Yep, And a

1198
01:00:55,320 --> 01:00:58,400
man who was putting on the show saw them and said, hey,

1199
01:00:58,599 --> 01:01:00,719
I'd like to sign you guys to my label, and

1200
01:01:00,760 --> 01:01:03,400
that man's name was Phil Spector.

1201
01:01:03,480 --> 01:01:06,840
Speaker 3: Speaking of Dirty Dancing soundtrack, Phil Spector, we talked at

1202
01:01:06,920 --> 01:01:09,920
length about him. He's crazy, he's psychotic.

1203
01:01:10,119 --> 01:01:11,840
Speaker 2: It's an episode worth listening to.

1204
01:01:11,960 --> 01:01:12,840
Speaker 3: It really is.

1205
01:01:13,119 --> 01:01:15,119
Speaker 2: Sure, it's one of our best I would say so

1206
01:01:15,599 --> 01:01:18,400
when he does put together the album with him, one

1207
01:01:18,440 --> 01:01:21,639
of the songs is You've Lost that Love and feeling Yeah.

1208
01:01:21,440 --> 01:01:25,320
Speaker 3: Did you know that? This song was inspired by baby

1209
01:01:25,360 --> 01:01:27,320
I Need Your Love and by the Four Tops? It

1210
01:01:27,400 --> 01:01:28,719
was inspired by two songs.

1211
01:01:28,880 --> 01:01:29,079
Speaker 2: Right.

1212
01:01:29,280 --> 01:01:31,840
Speaker 3: The song was written by Phil Spector, Barry Man, and

1213
01:01:31,880 --> 01:01:34,960
Cynthia Wheel. Okay, barry Man wrote the medley first and

1214
01:01:35,000 --> 01:01:37,280
then came up with the opening line, you'd never close

1215
01:01:37,320 --> 01:01:40,239
your eyes anymore when I kiss your lips. That came

1216
01:01:40,320 --> 01:01:43,000
from a line from the song I Love How You

1217
01:01:43,159 --> 01:01:46,360
Love Me, which was co written by Man and produced

1218
01:01:46,400 --> 01:01:49,559
by Specter, which says I love how you close your

1219
01:01:49,559 --> 01:01:51,119
eyes whenever you kiss me.

1220
01:01:52,559 --> 01:01:53,639
Speaker 2: How about that nice?

1221
01:01:53,679 --> 01:01:56,000
Speaker 3: So when they first heard this song, they said, guys,

1222
01:01:56,000 --> 01:01:58,039
this sounds like a great song for the Everly Brothers.

1223
01:01:58,079 --> 01:02:01,159
This is not in our range. And they're like, no, No,

1224
01:02:01,199 --> 01:02:03,239
here's what we're gonna do. We're gonna slow it down,

1225
01:02:03,519 --> 01:02:06,039
We're gonna lower it and it'll be perfect for you.

1226
01:02:06,119 --> 01:02:08,880
As you mentioned, Phil Spector is the one who discovered

1227
01:02:08,920 --> 01:02:12,880
the Righteous Brothers. They were signed as his first white act.

1228
01:02:13,159 --> 01:02:16,480
Bobby Hatfield, who's the other guy in the Righteous Brothers. Yeah, So,

1229
01:02:16,559 --> 01:02:19,519
he reportedly was not happy with Phil Spector when he

1230
01:02:19,599 --> 01:02:22,079
learned that Bill Medley would start the first verse and

1231
01:02:22,119 --> 01:02:24,199
that he would have to wait until the chorus before

1232
01:02:24,239 --> 01:02:26,639
he could join in. Before this, they would sing equally

1233
01:02:26,679 --> 01:02:28,800
in the song, right, or they would sing together. And

1234
01:02:28,880 --> 01:02:31,039
so when he asked Phil Spector what am I supposed

1235
01:02:31,079 --> 01:02:33,719
to do during Medley's solo, Phil Spector said, you can

1236
01:02:33,760 --> 01:02:37,920
go directly to the bank. So he's like, okay, I'll

1237
01:02:37,920 --> 01:02:38,480
just stand over.

1238
01:02:38,400 --> 01:02:40,679
Speaker 2: Here and shut up. Then, yeah, no kidding. So and

1239
01:02:40,719 --> 01:02:43,280
he was right, biggest song of their career. Absolutely at

1240
01:02:43,360 --> 01:02:47,719
the time, Phil Spector was a powerhouse. How do you

1241
01:02:48,119 --> 01:02:50,400
how do you make any kind of complaint about it.

1242
01:02:50,519 --> 01:02:52,440
I'm going to give you a record label, I'm going

1243
01:02:52,480 --> 01:02:55,519
to give you a hit song. And oh, you don't

1244
01:02:55,519 --> 01:02:58,320
get to start singing for a few minutes. H suck

1245
01:02:58,320 --> 01:03:00,320
an egg, bro, I know I'll.

1246
01:03:00,320 --> 01:03:04,960
Speaker 3: Murder you, steal your shoes and then murder you.

1247
01:03:05,000 --> 01:03:06,400
Speaker 2: Put you in a glass coffin.

1248
01:03:08,400 --> 01:03:11,199
Speaker 3: The vocals on this song took eight hours and two

1249
01:03:11,280 --> 01:03:12,400
days to record.

1250
01:03:12,559 --> 01:03:12,840
Speaker 4: Wow.

1251
01:03:12,920 --> 01:03:16,840
Speaker 3: Phil Spector perfectionist. Take after take after take after take.

1252
01:03:16,960 --> 01:03:19,000
He organized the wall of sound. You had the Wrecking

1253
01:03:19,039 --> 01:03:21,599
Crew in the background. We talked at length about how

1254
01:03:21,760 --> 01:03:25,159
Cher got her start as a background singer. In this song.

1255
01:03:25,400 --> 01:03:27,599
She was standing there next to her boyfriend Sonny Bono.

1256
01:03:28,000 --> 01:03:30,559
Phil Spector said, Hey, I understand your girlfriend can sing me.

1257
01:03:30,599 --> 01:03:32,400
He's like, wow, you know, you know sort of He's like,

1258
01:03:32,599 --> 01:03:34,199
I don't care. She just has to stand in the

1259
01:03:34,199 --> 01:03:36,320
background and make noise for the wall of sound. So

1260
01:03:36,480 --> 01:03:38,719
Cher was involved in the background. They knew they had

1261
01:03:38,840 --> 01:03:41,280
something going on, but they still had their doubts whether

1262
01:03:41,280 --> 01:03:43,239
it would be a hit or not because it was long.

1263
01:03:43,320 --> 01:03:45,239
It was four minutes long, which at the time was

1264
01:03:45,320 --> 01:03:48,360
extremely long, and it was slow. It was a slow

1265
01:03:48,360 --> 01:03:48,840
paced song.

1266
01:03:49,000 --> 01:03:49,280
Speaker 2: Okay.

1267
01:03:49,400 --> 01:03:51,760
Speaker 3: Also, this is in the middle of the Bridge Invasion

1268
01:03:51,840 --> 01:03:55,000
and the Beatles are all the rage. This song hit

1269
01:03:55,480 --> 01:03:58,199
number one on the Hot one hundred February sixteenth, nineteen

1270
01:03:58,239 --> 01:03:58,719
sixty five.

1271
01:03:58,760 --> 01:04:00,880
Speaker 2: Okay, and number two on the arm Beach Art. It's

1272
01:04:00,920 --> 01:04:01,480
a great song.

1273
01:04:01,559 --> 01:04:03,840
Speaker 3: It's a song of the ages Man for sure. By

1274
01:04:03,880 --> 01:04:07,199
the way Brian Wilson of the Beach Boys, who he talked.

1275
01:04:07,079 --> 01:04:11,039
Speaker 2: At length being massively influenced by the Ronnetts.

1276
01:04:10,800 --> 01:04:13,559
Speaker 3: Be My Baby, Be My Baby, another Phil Spector song.

1277
01:04:13,639 --> 01:04:17,599
Speaker 2: Right, and him putting together pet Sounds with the Wrecking Crew.

1278
01:04:17,920 --> 01:04:21,320
Speaker 3: Yes, Yeah, okay. Brian Wilson's response to this song when

1279
01:04:21,360 --> 01:04:24,239
he ran into Man and Wheel, the writers of this song,

1280
01:04:24,639 --> 01:04:27,639
he said, your song is the greatest record ever. I

1281
01:04:27,679 --> 01:04:29,599
was ready to quit the music business, but this has

1282
01:04:29,679 --> 01:04:32,639
inspired me to write again. And the song that he

1283
01:04:32,719 --> 01:04:37,920
wrote in response to this song is good Vibrations.

1284
01:04:43,599 --> 01:04:44,639
Speaker 1: She's Getting.

1285
01:04:52,239 --> 01:04:55,519
Speaker 2: Is my favorite Beach Boys song. I see you a

1286
01:04:55,519 --> 01:04:58,000
picture a little bit earlier this week. I sent it

1287
01:04:58,039 --> 01:05:01,239
to you and James Buckley and David Wright. It was

1288
01:05:01,280 --> 01:05:04,960
a picture of my radio readout, which had a hundred

1289
01:05:05,039 --> 01:05:08,880
degree temperature. Yes, and we were listening to Good Vibrations

1290
01:05:09,079 --> 01:05:11,920
by the Beach Boys, and I said, the AC is

1291
01:05:11,960 --> 01:05:14,039
not working, so we're pretending we're on the beach.

1292
01:05:14,760 --> 01:05:16,760
Speaker 3: Yes love, good Vibations.

1293
01:05:16,880 --> 01:05:17,039
Speaker 4: Yeah.

1294
01:05:17,119 --> 01:05:20,840
Speaker 3: Phil Spector himself rated this song as the pinnacle of

1295
01:05:20,880 --> 01:05:21,440
his career.

1296
01:05:21,599 --> 01:05:22,119
Speaker 2: I could see that.

1297
01:05:22,199 --> 01:05:23,920
Speaker 3: And that's before he blew that girl's head off and.

1298
01:05:23,880 --> 01:05:26,119
Speaker 2: Went to jail. That would maybe not be a Pinnacle

1299
01:05:27,719 --> 01:05:30,519
most infamous. Yes, not Pinnacle. Yes.

1300
01:05:31,119 --> 01:05:33,679
Speaker 3: By the way, you know you talked about how Maverick

1301
01:05:33,719 --> 01:05:36,480
serenades Charlie in the bar, and it's the big moment

1302
01:05:36,519 --> 01:05:40,440
in the movie. Do you remember on Cheers, Rebecca Howe,

1303
01:05:40,599 --> 01:05:43,679
her favorite song is You've Lost That Love and Feeling,

1304
01:05:44,239 --> 01:05:47,400
and her boyfriend Robert Colcord hires Bill Medley to go

1305
01:05:47,440 --> 01:05:49,480
to cheers and sing directly to her. Do you remember

1306
01:05:49,480 --> 01:05:49,920
this episode?

1307
01:05:50,000 --> 01:05:52,119
Speaker 2: I kind of do. Yes. I don't think I've seen

1308
01:05:52,119 --> 01:05:54,039
it since the eighties, but yeah, I think I kind

1309
01:05:54,079 --> 01:05:54,280
of do.

1310
01:05:54,519 --> 01:05:54,639
Speaker 4: So.

1311
01:05:54,719 --> 01:05:57,280
Speaker 3: Her rich boyfriend hires Bill Medley to go to cheers

1312
01:05:57,360 --> 01:05:59,639
seeing You've Lost that Love and feeling directly to her,

1313
01:05:59,719 --> 01:06:01,840
and the whole time he's singing to her, she's freaking out.

1314
01:06:02,000 --> 01:06:02,679
Speaker 2: Can I help you?

1315
01:06:03,280 --> 01:06:03,400
Speaker 9: Uh?

1316
01:06:03,519 --> 01:06:08,719
Speaker 2: Yeah, Rebecca Howe, Rebecca, this is from Robin cole Cord.

1317
01:06:09,440 --> 01:06:11,719
You never closure us.

1318
01:06:13,840 --> 01:06:24,599
Speaker 10: Oh my gosh, I know Robin, but I never know

1319
01:06:24,719 --> 01:06:33,280
that he would excuse me, excuse me, you knock it off.

1320
01:06:33,320 --> 01:06:35,239
Speaker 2: Somebody in the bar might want to hear this.

1321
01:06:37,679 --> 01:06:41,719
Speaker 3: Basically tells her to shut up. It's great, great song. Now.

1322
01:06:41,760 --> 01:06:45,159
Speaker 2: Then another song that was in the movie, not on

1323
01:06:45,199 --> 01:06:48,519
the soundtrack song by mister jer Lee Lewis, The Killer

1324
01:06:48,960 --> 01:06:51,320
eight Balls of Fire, You Jack.

1325
01:06:51,199 --> 01:06:55,000
Speaker 5: My Love and My Brain too much, loved of the

1326
01:06:55,119 --> 01:07:02,280
man and singing you Broke My Wheel, Grace, great ball Fi.

1327
01:07:03,440 --> 01:07:06,360
Speaker 2: I was very familiar with this song. Really, we had

1328
01:07:06,400 --> 01:07:08,920
all kinds of LPs when I was a kid. My

1329
01:07:09,000 --> 01:07:11,960
parents had lots of albums, and this one was on.

1330
01:07:12,400 --> 01:07:15,800
This one was on like a compilation with Little Richard

1331
01:07:15,880 --> 01:07:18,440
and a bunch of other big piano rock singers.

1332
01:07:18,559 --> 01:07:21,000
Speaker 3: That's interesting. I had never heard the song of my life.

1333
01:07:21,039 --> 01:07:23,239
Of course, gooseblaze it at the piano when he's at

1334
01:07:23,280 --> 01:07:25,239
the Case barbecue in San Diego.

1335
01:07:25,400 --> 01:07:27,480
Speaker 2: Yeah. We mentioned in our Top Gen episode that Tony

1336
01:07:27,480 --> 01:07:29,280
Scott had kind of been humming it in his head

1337
01:07:29,280 --> 01:07:31,400
as he drove to work that day, and he's like, Okay,

1338
01:07:31,440 --> 01:07:33,719
here's what we're going to do without having done anything

1339
01:07:33,719 --> 01:07:36,000
to license the song from Jerry Lee Lewis or the company.

1340
01:07:36,119 --> 01:07:37,960
Speaker 3: And you said Anthony Edwards did not know he was

1341
01:07:38,000 --> 01:07:40,119
going to sing, and he can't play the piano. Correct,

1342
01:07:41,599 --> 01:07:45,239
All right, Tony, I'm game acting. This song hit number

1343
01:07:45,280 --> 01:07:47,519
two on the Hot one hundred, number one on the

1344
01:07:47,559 --> 01:07:50,280
Country chart, and number three on the R and B chart.

1345
01:07:50,360 --> 01:07:51,639
Speaker 2: That's that's quite a mix.

1346
01:07:51,840 --> 01:07:54,559
Speaker 3: Name another song that hit that high on those three

1347
01:07:54,639 --> 01:07:57,599
charts at the same time. No, Rolling Stone calls us

1348
01:07:57,599 --> 01:08:01,000
the ninety sixth greatest song. I'm gonna tell you a

1349
01:08:01,000 --> 01:08:02,079
little bit about mister j.

1350
01:08:02,239 --> 01:08:05,159
Speaker 2: Lee Lewis. Okay, Yeah, we could do a whole episode

1351
01:08:05,199 --> 01:08:07,360
on this. They made a movie about it, Yes, they did,

1352
01:08:07,440 --> 01:08:09,519
had one owner writer and mister Denis Quaid in it.

1353
01:08:09,800 --> 01:08:12,760
Speaker 3: That movie is incomplete because there's way more craziness that

1354
01:08:12,840 --> 01:08:13,559
comes out after this.

1355
01:08:13,800 --> 01:08:14,960
Speaker 2: Tell me man, tell me so.

1356
01:08:15,119 --> 01:08:15,920
Speaker 3: I just want to tell you.

1357
01:08:16,039 --> 01:08:19,640
Speaker 2: He was married seven times. Okay, that's a lot. Two times.

1358
01:08:19,760 --> 01:08:21,279
Speaker 3: Bigamous Lee bigamus.

1359
01:08:21,720 --> 01:08:23,960
Speaker 2: I was a big big of me, big of you.

1360
01:08:24,399 --> 01:08:27,119
It's big of both of us, big of us. So

1361
01:08:27,319 --> 01:08:30,520
he was married to a lady and married to another

1362
01:08:30,600 --> 01:08:31,279
lady at.

1363
01:08:31,239 --> 01:08:34,159
Speaker 3: The same time twice, Yes, during his life twice, the

1364
01:08:34,239 --> 01:08:37,439
twice twice and twice he also married his thirteen year

1365
01:08:37,439 --> 01:08:38,800
old underage cousin.

1366
01:08:39,199 --> 01:08:41,199
Speaker 2: Yeah, that was one own a writer in the movie. Yes,

1367
01:08:41,479 --> 01:08:43,960
he was angry on the honeymoon night because he said

1368
01:08:44,000 --> 01:08:46,760
she didn't move like a virgin. I sure hope she did,

1369
01:08:46,880 --> 01:08:48,880
since she was only thirteen. Oh my gosh.

1370
01:08:49,039 --> 01:08:50,359
Speaker 3: They were married for thirteen years.

1371
01:08:50,840 --> 01:08:53,600
Speaker 2: Wow. This she made it all the way to twenty six.

1372
01:08:54,000 --> 01:08:56,840
Speaker 3: That's exactly right. That was his third marriage.

1373
01:08:56,920 --> 01:08:59,479
Speaker 2: By the way, the brain is fully developed at twenty five.

1374
01:09:00,479 --> 01:09:03,319
Speaker 3: Great Balls of Fire was released within a month of

1375
01:09:03,399 --> 01:09:07,000
when he married her, and his career went from the

1376
01:09:07,359 --> 01:09:11,039
peak pinnacle to the top like a rocket to the

1377
01:09:11,199 --> 01:09:13,000
depths of despair.

1378
01:09:12,840 --> 01:09:14,000
Speaker 2: Just because he married his cousin.

1379
01:09:14,399 --> 01:09:15,680
Speaker 3: Just because he married his cousin.

1380
01:09:15,840 --> 01:09:18,840
Speaker 2: I told you. I can still remember seeing an MTV

1381
01:09:19,279 --> 01:09:23,119
interview where Kurt Loader is interviewing him and that subject

1382
01:09:23,199 --> 01:09:25,159
comes up and he's like, man, ain't you ever been

1383
01:09:25,159 --> 01:09:26,840
at the family or you want to Kisse your cousin,

1384
01:09:28,079 --> 01:09:32,079
And Kurt Lotdter's like, no, I have never ever wanted

1385
01:09:32,119 --> 01:09:32,960
to kis my cousin.

1386
01:09:33,079 --> 01:09:35,880
Speaker 3: His other cousin was Jimmy swagger who you've probably seen

1387
01:09:36,039 --> 01:09:38,960
or heard of. He's an evangelist, TV evangelist, very popular

1388
01:09:39,000 --> 01:09:41,800
in the eighties. Got in trouble behind closed Doors with

1389
01:09:41,880 --> 01:09:42,800
the Lady of the Night.

1390
01:09:43,039 --> 01:09:43,199
Speaker 4: Yep.

1391
01:09:43,479 --> 01:09:47,239
Speaker 3: Now then Jerry Lee Lewis is the top. Yes, that's right.

1392
01:09:47,439 --> 01:09:50,079
He apologized he was upset. Jimmy Swaggert and Jerry Lee

1393
01:09:50,159 --> 01:09:53,000
Lewis used to enter musical contest together and they would

1394
01:09:53,000 --> 01:09:55,640
sing and play the piano together. He said, they want

1395
01:09:55,720 --> 01:09:57,359
every talent contest they ever entered.

1396
01:09:57,439 --> 01:09:57,720
Speaker 2: Wow.

1397
01:09:58,439 --> 01:10:01,439
Speaker 3: Jer Lewis is the type of guy that bad things

1398
01:10:01,560 --> 01:10:05,479
just seem to happen around him, and sooner or later

1399
01:10:05,640 --> 01:10:09,159
you have to ask yourself, what's the common denominator here?

1400
01:10:09,359 --> 01:10:09,680
Speaker 2: Okay?

1401
01:10:09,840 --> 01:10:10,199
Speaker 3: All right?

1402
01:10:10,359 --> 01:10:10,560
Speaker 2: Yeah?

1403
01:10:10,720 --> 01:10:13,920
Speaker 3: So he lost a three year old son to a

1404
01:10:14,319 --> 01:10:17,439
swimming pool accident. He lost a nineteen year old son

1405
01:10:17,479 --> 01:10:21,319
to a car crash. His fourth wife was found accidentally

1406
01:10:21,399 --> 01:10:25,359
drowned in a pool. Okay, his fifth wife, Sean Stevens,

1407
01:10:25,640 --> 01:10:28,960
she was found dead. He accidentally shot his bass player

1408
01:10:29,039 --> 01:10:29,680
one time.

1409
01:10:29,560 --> 01:10:31,640
Speaker 2: With a gun. Well, you know, as you do. He

1410
01:10:31,720 --> 01:10:32,239
got in the way.

1411
01:10:33,159 --> 01:10:38,239
Speaker 3: Things just happened around him. Okay, but musical genius right

1412
01:10:38,439 --> 01:10:41,079
made it a great song? Yeah, incredible, great balls of

1413
01:10:41,119 --> 01:10:41,520
fire yep.

1414
01:10:41,520 --> 01:10:41,760
Speaker 2: Okay.

1415
01:10:41,880 --> 01:10:43,520
Speaker 3: I think it's interesting that this song got a lot

1416
01:10:43,560 --> 01:10:46,399
of controversy when it was released because of the line

1417
01:10:46,720 --> 01:10:49,239
let me love you like a lover should that was

1418
01:10:49,319 --> 01:10:52,039
seen as extreme sexual innuendo.

1419
01:10:52,279 --> 01:10:52,520
Speaker 8: Wow.

1420
01:10:53,039 --> 01:10:56,920
Speaker 3: Eric Clapton and John Lennon both credit Jerry Lee Lewis

1421
01:10:56,960 --> 01:10:58,680
as being one of their biggest implances.

1422
01:10:58,800 --> 01:11:02,039
Speaker 2: I can see it. He sounded out the rock hits. Yep,

1423
01:11:02,279 --> 01:11:02,520
you did.

1424
01:11:02,720 --> 01:11:05,119
Speaker 3: Dolly Parton did a version of Great Bells of Fire,

1425
01:11:05,239 --> 01:11:07,680
which was the title track of her nineteen seventy nine album,

1426
01:11:07,880 --> 01:11:11,680
and that cover was used in a Miami Vice episode

1427
01:11:11,720 --> 01:11:12,640
in nineteen eighty five.

1428
01:11:13,000 --> 01:11:15,880
Speaker 2: Okay, how about that. Wow, it's a deep cut, my friend.

1429
01:11:15,920 --> 01:11:17,920
Speaker 3: How about that? Okay, let's do a couple of songs

1430
01:11:17,920 --> 01:11:19,039
from Maverick, Maverick.

1431
01:11:19,319 --> 01:11:23,399
Speaker 2: We are moving from nineteen eighty six all the way

1432
01:11:23,600 --> 01:11:27,359
up to twenty twenty two. All right. First single off

1433
01:11:27,439 --> 01:11:31,399
of the album was a song by Lady Gaga. Yes, okay,

1434
01:11:31,520 --> 01:11:35,159
before we get started talking about this song. Yeah, people

1435
01:11:35,319 --> 01:11:37,760
kind of notice that I make connections, right, Yes see?

1436
01:11:37,760 --> 01:11:38,279
You ready for this?

1437
01:11:38,520 --> 01:11:38,720
Speaker 5: Yeah?

1438
01:11:39,039 --> 01:11:43,880
Speaker 2: Okay? So Lady Gaga is in a movie seen in

1439
01:11:43,880 --> 01:11:46,159
a few movies, but one of the big movies is

1440
01:11:46,399 --> 01:11:49,000
A Star Is Born, right, right, Radley Coober Right. So

1441
01:11:49,439 --> 01:11:53,520
Kenny Loggins got his start in doing soundtracks with the

1442
01:11:53,600 --> 01:11:56,359
movie Caddyshack, which we talked about in our Caddyshack Versus

1443
01:11:56,399 --> 01:11:57,399
Happy Gilmour episode.

1444
01:11:57,479 --> 01:11:57,880
Speaker 3: Yes we did.

1445
01:11:58,039 --> 01:12:01,239
Speaker 2: And the way that that happened was he met a

1446
01:12:01,279 --> 01:12:04,640
guy named John Peters, who produced Caddyshack, but at the

1447
01:12:04,720 --> 01:12:08,239
time they met, John Peters was dating Barbara Streisand right,

1448
01:12:08,520 --> 01:12:11,760
and barbar Streisand and John Peters had Kenny Loggins over

1449
01:12:11,920 --> 01:12:15,439
to help write some music for the movie A Star

1450
01:12:15,760 --> 01:12:21,319
Is Born. Yes, so barbar Streisand really was the catalyst

1451
01:12:21,479 --> 01:12:24,920
to Kenny Loggins being involved in soundtracks at the beginning

1452
01:12:25,079 --> 01:12:27,600
while writing songs for A Star is Born. Bring that

1453
01:12:27,720 --> 01:12:32,079
full circle to Lady Gaga. The remake of his Star

1454
01:12:32,239 --> 01:12:36,359
Is Born now has a song on the top gun

1455
01:12:36,439 --> 01:12:37,520
Maverick soundtrack.

1456
01:12:37,760 --> 01:12:38,399
Speaker 3: How about that?

1457
01:12:38,680 --> 01:12:38,960
Speaker 2: There you go.

1458
01:12:39,159 --> 01:12:41,239
Speaker 3: Kenny Logins probably has the biggest song on the eighty

1459
01:12:41,279 --> 01:12:44,520
six soundtrack. Yeah, Lady Gaga clearly has the biggest song

1460
01:12:44,680 --> 01:12:45,920
on the Maverick soundtrack.

1461
01:12:46,199 --> 01:12:48,520
Speaker 2: Lady Gaga is not somebody. I have a lot of

1462
01:12:48,600 --> 01:12:51,720
songs of hers on my phone, but I've got a few.

1463
01:12:51,920 --> 01:12:55,279
She's I mean, she's a powerhouse and has been for

1464
01:12:55,680 --> 01:12:57,760
Killer Voice. Yeah. E loves of years or more.

1465
01:12:57,840 --> 01:12:58,039
Speaker 1: Yeah.

1466
01:12:58,119 --> 01:13:01,479
Speaker 2: Yeah, amazing, an amazing songwriting abilities and the movie The

1467
01:13:01,600 --> 01:13:04,600
Star Is Born that she's in love it. Great music,

1468
01:13:04,960 --> 01:13:07,520
great story. If you haven't seen it, go check out

1469
01:13:07,520 --> 01:13:09,000
that movie. It definitely work it. Wow.

1470
01:13:09,560 --> 01:13:12,439
Speaker 3: So the song We're Gonna talk about with her Yes,

1471
01:13:12,840 --> 01:13:14,560
is a song called hold My Hand.

1472
01:13:15,600 --> 01:13:16,520
Speaker 1: So Bad.

1473
01:13:18,079 --> 01:13:41,520
Speaker 6: So every last as Dude.

1474
01:13:42,000 --> 01:13:45,039
Speaker 3: This song is awesome. I love it, and it became

1475
01:13:45,159 --> 01:13:47,439
the score of the movie. Like it's the take My

1476
01:13:47,600 --> 01:13:50,640
Breath Away of Tapagun Maverick. It's the love theme between

1477
01:13:50,680 --> 01:13:51,920
Maverick and Penny Right.

1478
01:13:51,920 --> 01:13:52,800
Speaker 2: Admiral's daughter.

1479
01:13:54,199 --> 01:13:57,560
Speaker 3: And one admiral's daughter. This song has been credited as

1480
01:13:57,680 --> 01:14:01,720
being arena rock and based on nineteen eighties power rock music.

1481
01:14:02,000 --> 01:14:04,279
Speaker 2: It is definitely a power ballad, no question about it.

1482
01:14:04,359 --> 01:14:07,119
Speaker 3: I love that she's been working on a song for years, okay,

1483
01:14:07,279 --> 01:14:10,199
and in fact, she said that through COVID this has

1484
01:14:10,319 --> 01:14:12,720
become sort of a love song to everyone.

1485
01:14:12,840 --> 01:14:15,439
Speaker 2: I gotta say, though COVID precautions say that you should

1486
01:14:15,479 --> 01:14:16,279
not hold hands.

1487
01:14:19,079 --> 01:14:21,880
Speaker 3: You should not hold my hand, Lady Gaga said during

1488
01:14:21,960 --> 01:14:25,119
the COVID nineteen pandemic era. She described the song as

1489
01:14:25,159 --> 01:14:27,800
a love letter to the world during and after a

1490
01:14:27,960 --> 01:14:32,279
very hard time. All right, get this. Tom Cruise has said,

1491
01:14:32,359 --> 01:14:34,439
listen to this quote. Lady Gaga came in with this song.

1492
01:14:34,680 --> 01:14:37,279
It became our score. It became the heartbeat of this film.

1493
01:14:37,399 --> 01:14:40,399
What she did emotionally I was so concerned until I

1494
01:14:40,479 --> 01:14:42,800
heard that piece and I knew that that piece what

1495
01:14:42,960 --> 01:14:45,640
it does, how it married our story emotionally. So that

1496
01:14:45,800 --> 01:14:47,399
was a moment. It was just a real moment for

1497
01:14:47,439 --> 01:14:50,239
all of us. It was the missing piece to Talking Maverick.

1498
01:14:50,319 --> 01:15:12,800
It's a great song. It's been compared to Journey's Open

1499
01:15:12,960 --> 01:15:16,680
Arms and Hearts Alone, sure iconic power power ballad.

1500
01:15:19,079 --> 01:15:21,520
Speaker 2: Okay. So that was the first single released off the

1501
01:15:21,560 --> 01:15:25,800
Top Gun Maverick soundtrack. The second single released is by

1502
01:15:25,880 --> 01:15:29,760
the band One Republic and it is called I Ain't Worried.

1503
01:15:30,359 --> 01:15:31,920
Speaker 5: I don't know what you've been to.

1504
01:15:33,760 --> 01:15:36,560
Speaker 6: Thomas on it out. No need to take a song.

1505
01:15:36,880 --> 01:15:42,319
I'll step into you too. I'll sue the skinny as.

1506
01:15:42,840 --> 01:15:46,199
Speaker 4: I keep them.

1507
01:15:49,079 --> 01:15:55,000
Speaker 6: Rus swimming than an.

1508
01:15:56,479 --> 01:16:04,279
Speaker 2: I were, Okay, I love this song. This is this

1509
01:16:04,520 --> 01:16:06,600
is one of my favorite Like, I can't stop listening

1510
01:16:06,640 --> 01:16:07,279
to this song right now.

1511
01:16:07,319 --> 01:16:09,479
Speaker 3: When you told me we're recovering this one, I was like,

1512
01:16:09,880 --> 01:16:11,800
I don't really think I know this song, but as

1513
01:16:11,800 --> 01:16:13,119
soon as I played it, I'm like, oh, it's the

1514
01:16:13,239 --> 01:16:14,279
football beach song.

1515
01:16:14,399 --> 01:16:17,520
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's the fighter Pilot football song. And they and

1516
01:16:17,640 --> 01:16:19,399
then in the video it's got a lot of footage

1517
01:16:19,439 --> 01:16:21,399
from that particular scene, lots of baby oil.

1518
01:16:21,720 --> 01:16:21,880
Speaker 5: Yes.

1519
01:16:22,279 --> 01:16:24,520
Speaker 2: So I was like, and you know, we've got to

1520
01:16:24,560 --> 01:16:27,760
talk about him because One Republic Oklahoma. And You're like what,

1521
01:16:28,079 --> 01:16:31,000
I'm like, I'm pretty sure One Republic is from Oklahoma.

1522
01:16:31,159 --> 01:16:32,920
Speaker 3: This is a great story. And so I was like,

1523
01:16:33,359 --> 01:16:34,960
I think I'm right, and so I looked it up.

1524
01:16:34,960 --> 01:16:36,880
I'm like, no, wait a minute, they're from Colorado Springs.

1525
01:16:36,920 --> 01:16:39,560
And I'm like, oh, lead singer, Yes, he's from Tulsa.

1526
01:16:39,840 --> 01:16:42,199
Speaker 2: And so I sent you his picture and I was like, look, dude,

1527
01:16:42,319 --> 01:16:45,119
he's from your hometown, Tulsa, Oklahoma. Tell me what happened.

1528
01:16:45,199 --> 01:16:47,600
Speaker 3: Okay, So I grew up in Tulsa, Oklahoma. As soon

1529
01:16:47,600 --> 01:16:50,079
as we figured out that the lead singer One Republic

1530
01:16:50,199 --> 01:16:53,479
is from Tulsa, I looked at his page and figured

1531
01:16:53,520 --> 01:16:57,319
out he went to Jinks High School, which is where

1532
01:16:57,680 --> 01:17:00,279
me and my entire family went to high school. Right.

1533
01:17:01,079 --> 01:17:04,119
So I text my sisters. So I'm class of ninety one.

1534
01:17:04,640 --> 01:17:06,520
I have a younger sister who class of ninety five,

1535
01:17:06,720 --> 01:17:08,920
and a younger sister class of ninety nine.

1536
01:17:09,119 --> 01:17:11,359
Speaker 2: Right now, he's class of ninety he's seven.

1537
01:17:11,159 --> 01:17:13,960
Speaker 3: Class of ninety seven. So I text both of my sisters.

1538
01:17:14,359 --> 01:17:16,760
I send them a picture of this guy and I said,

1539
01:17:16,840 --> 01:17:20,439
do you know this guy? And my older sister she's like,

1540
01:17:20,920 --> 01:17:23,760
I have kids, who is this? I don't know who

1541
01:17:23,840 --> 01:17:26,079
this is? Right? Am I supposed to know who this is?

1542
01:17:26,680 --> 01:17:30,720
My younger sister goes, is this a truck question? And

1543
01:17:30,880 --> 01:17:34,159
I said, what do you mean? She said, why would

1544
01:17:34,159 --> 01:17:36,720
I know the lead singer of One Republic? So she

1545
01:17:37,000 --> 01:17:40,439
knows who he was. And I'm like, well, maybe it's

1546
01:17:40,479 --> 01:17:43,359
because you walked the hallways at high school together and

1547
01:17:43,560 --> 01:17:48,279
she was like what yeah, so she had no idea.

1548
01:17:48,600 --> 01:17:51,239
Speaker 2: Right. So the guy we're talking about is Ryan Tedder, Right,

1549
01:17:51,359 --> 01:17:55,000
he is the lead singer for One Republic. And I'm

1550
01:17:55,039 --> 01:17:56,199
going to get I gotta give it a little bit

1551
01:17:56,199 --> 01:17:58,640
imlste because I thought it was it was pretty good, Okay.

1552
01:17:58,920 --> 01:18:01,600
So he went to Jinks High School except for a

1553
01:18:01,680 --> 01:18:04,720
senior year where he went off to Colorado Springs and

1554
01:18:04,840 --> 01:18:06,880
that's where he met one of his bandmates. It was

1555
01:18:06,960 --> 01:18:09,600
a ride back to Oklahoma. I believe that they started

1556
01:18:09,600 --> 01:18:11,199
talking about the music that they love and they're like,

1557
01:18:11,239 --> 01:18:13,159
we should put a band together, and that's how One

1558
01:18:13,199 --> 01:18:16,119
Republic is born. He comes back to Tulsa. He goes

1559
01:18:16,199 --> 01:18:20,239
to o AREU Oral Roberts University right in tuls Oklahoma,

1560
01:18:20,840 --> 01:18:24,319
and he graduates. He goes over to Nashville. He's in

1561
01:18:24,439 --> 01:18:28,720
Nashville for like two months, and he gets picked by

1562
01:18:28,880 --> 01:18:32,279
Lance Bass of n Sync to be in this MTV

1563
01:18:32,479 --> 01:18:34,640
contest and the prize for the kind of this is

1564
01:18:34,760 --> 01:18:37,880
kind of like a American Idol style of thing, right,

1565
01:18:38,079 --> 01:18:41,640
all these amateurs competing, and so the prize is you

1566
01:18:41,800 --> 01:18:45,159
get to get signed to Lance Bass's new record label.

1567
01:18:45,239 --> 01:18:49,000
Right yeah, And so he goes on. He competes, he's

1568
01:18:49,039 --> 01:18:51,000
been for now, he's been in Nashville for two months.

1569
01:18:51,279 --> 01:18:56,199
He competes, and judges and fans alike vote him number one.

1570
01:18:56,640 --> 01:19:00,119
He wins the contest. He signs paperwork to be a

1571
01:19:00,159 --> 01:19:02,880
part of Lance Bass's new label. And he said, and

1572
01:19:03,000 --> 01:19:05,800
two weeks later, I was waiting tables and picking chips

1573
01:19:05,880 --> 01:19:08,319
up off the ground. He said, it was all just

1574
01:19:08,439 --> 01:19:11,359
a bunch of hype. There was no real label. It

1575
01:19:11,520 --> 01:19:14,760
was all just a bunch of nonsense to try to

1576
01:19:14,800 --> 01:19:17,960
promote a show and a label that ultimately did not

1577
01:19:18,079 --> 01:19:21,840
work out. So it's like my dreams are realized. Oh here,

1578
01:19:22,000 --> 01:19:23,720
let me Yank the carpet right out from underneath you.

1579
01:19:23,880 --> 01:19:24,079
Speaker 5: Wow.

1580
01:19:24,479 --> 01:19:27,760
Speaker 2: So a little while later he leaves and goes out

1581
01:19:27,760 --> 01:19:29,960
to La. The one great thing that comes from this

1582
01:19:30,119 --> 01:19:31,920
contest that he was in that go I mean he

1583
01:19:32,000 --> 01:19:34,560
was performing in front of a million people. Is one

1584
01:19:34,640 --> 01:19:37,199
of the guys that sees him is Timbaland. He's a

1585
01:19:37,279 --> 01:19:40,359
record producer. He's done a lot of stuff, sure, and

1586
01:19:40,880 --> 01:19:44,439
so Timberland since spends the next year trying to find him. Well,

1587
01:19:44,520 --> 01:19:47,439
he's in La. I mean, he's as poor as poor

1588
01:19:47,520 --> 01:19:51,319
can be. He sold his car to buy music equipment.

1589
01:19:51,479 --> 01:19:54,319
He's selling songs to people for like three hundred bucks

1590
01:19:54,439 --> 01:19:56,439
or something, just trying to get some stuff out there.

1591
01:19:56,720 --> 01:19:59,720
And so his daytime he spends writing songs for other

1592
01:19:59,760 --> 01:20:03,479
people people. His nights he spends with One Republic trying

1593
01:20:03,520 --> 01:20:06,920
to develop them and what they have this is so great.

1594
01:20:07,479 --> 01:20:11,159
To early two thousands, they have a MySpace account. Well,

1595
01:20:11,720 --> 01:20:18,000
they end up being the biggest unsigned MySpace band, and

1596
01:20:18,159 --> 01:20:21,199
because of that, Templand is able to find them. They

1597
01:20:21,439 --> 01:20:25,760
ultimately get a record deal because of their song Apologized.

1598
01:20:26,079 --> 01:20:28,720
In two thousand and six, they do their first album,

1599
01:20:29,199 --> 01:20:35,680
Timbaland remixes Apologize, and suddenly they are big, bright, shining stars.

1600
01:20:37,039 --> 01:20:40,640
Speaker 3: That's great. Here's the deal. My music knowledge drops way off,

1601
01:20:41,039 --> 01:20:43,439
starting out about the year two thousand. Uh huh okay,

1602
01:20:43,840 --> 01:20:45,760
I make it pretty much through the nineties, and then

1603
01:20:45,800 --> 01:20:48,640
after that I bow out. I've got kids, you know,

1604
01:20:49,279 --> 01:20:52,159
so a song has to be monumentally huge for me

1605
01:20:52,279 --> 01:20:55,119
to be familiar with it. Yes, polgrivased by Lady Gaga,

1606
01:20:55,319 --> 01:20:57,439
you couldn't live in this world and not hear that song.

1607
01:20:57,520 --> 01:20:59,880
The song Counting Stars by One Republic is one of those.

1608
01:21:00,359 --> 01:21:02,920
Speaker 2: Yeah, it was their next monumental hit. They had several

1609
01:21:03,000 --> 01:21:05,359
songs that did very well, but Counting Stars was their

1610
01:21:05,399 --> 01:21:08,159
next monumental hit. I've had Apologize in Counting Stars on

1611
01:21:08,319 --> 01:21:12,119
my playlist for since they came out. I love One Republic,

1612
01:21:12,279 --> 01:21:15,039
and so when I heard the song, I didn't recognize

1613
01:21:15,039 --> 01:21:19,359
them because the sound on I Ain't Worried is very

1614
01:21:19,479 --> 01:21:22,159
different than the sound that they have on Counting Stars

1615
01:21:22,319 --> 01:21:24,560
or Apologize's a way different sound, But I love it.

1616
01:21:24,680 --> 01:21:27,600
It's very indie rock, which is about the only stuff

1617
01:21:27,600 --> 01:21:29,479
that I like to listen to as far as modern

1618
01:21:29,520 --> 01:21:32,279
music is concerned. I heard it, I was thinking joy Wave,

1619
01:21:32,880 --> 01:21:35,720
I'm thinking Guster, I'm thinking all of these bands, I'm like,

1620
01:21:35,800 --> 01:21:38,319
it sounds so familiar. And then I see this by

1621
01:21:38,399 --> 01:21:40,600
One Republic. I'm like, oh, dude, there you go. I

1622
01:21:40,800 --> 01:21:43,479
recognized the voice and they're doing a style of music

1623
01:21:43,640 --> 01:21:48,039
that I love, and I love this song. So Ryan Tetter,

1624
01:21:48,279 --> 01:21:49,199
Mighty Jing's Trojan.

1625
01:21:50,039 --> 01:21:53,319
Speaker 3: Okay, sorry, Mighty Jing's Trojan. Ryan Tedder keep.

1626
01:21:53,199 --> 01:21:56,680
Speaker 2: Going, yes, yes, yes, of course that's his big claive.

1627
01:21:56,840 --> 01:22:00,880
He's won three Grammys. Three Grammys. But that's the thing

1628
01:22:00,960 --> 01:22:03,199
that's mess and famous is to Jinks High School with

1629
01:22:03,279 --> 01:22:03,960
Jason caulf.

1630
01:22:03,840 --> 01:22:04,800
Speaker 3: That's got it, get it right.

1631
01:22:05,640 --> 01:22:08,359
Speaker 2: So three grammys because he was a producer on Adel's

1632
01:22:08,399 --> 01:22:11,960
twenty one and Dell's twenty five and Taylor Swift's nineteen

1633
01:22:12,000 --> 01:22:14,199
eighty nine, it's pretty good. I think that One Republic

1634
01:22:14,319 --> 01:22:16,279
needs to make an album that has a number as

1635
01:22:16,319 --> 01:22:18,359
a title because that seems to be successful.

1636
01:22:18,880 --> 01:22:19,319
Speaker 4: But he is.

1637
01:22:19,560 --> 01:22:23,520
Speaker 2: He's made songs that have become huge hits for other artists.

1638
01:22:23,560 --> 01:22:27,640
He is a incredibly prolific guy. But I'm really glad

1639
01:22:27,680 --> 01:22:30,359
that he's got a single on this Nude Amazing movie.

1640
01:22:30,399 --> 01:22:31,000
Speaker 3: It's a great song.

1641
01:22:31,159 --> 01:22:31,560
Speaker 5: I love it.

1642
01:22:31,640 --> 01:22:32,439
Speaker 2: It's my favorite song.

1643
01:22:32,760 --> 01:22:34,680
Speaker 3: Let me throw this out there, real quick. Yeah, Ryan,

1644
01:22:34,760 --> 01:22:36,840
if you're listening, the baseball field needs a little.

1645
01:22:36,640 --> 01:22:37,000
Speaker 8: Bit of work.

1646
01:22:39,920 --> 01:22:42,640
Speaker 2: This is a little tidment on this, just a little tipit.

1647
01:22:42,760 --> 01:22:42,880
Speaker 5: Right.

1648
01:22:44,039 --> 01:22:46,800
Speaker 2: So he started playing music when he was three. He's

1649
01:22:46,920 --> 01:22:50,159
raised in like a Christian missionary household, right right, and

1650
01:22:51,039 --> 01:22:54,039
his parents would reward him with candy corn when he

1651
01:22:54,119 --> 01:22:57,600
practiced the piano. I think candy corn is the worst

1652
01:22:57,720 --> 01:23:00,159
candy imaginable. I was identifying with this guy as so

1653
01:23:00,199 --> 01:23:02,560
many levels, and then I was like, candy Corneah.

1654
01:23:02,560 --> 01:23:04,319
Speaker 3: Yeah, I'm not practicing today, mom and dad.

1655
01:23:04,479 --> 01:23:07,399
Speaker 2: My favorite line from this song time is running out,

1656
01:23:07,720 --> 01:23:10,319
So spend it like it's gold. I'm living like I'm

1657
01:23:10,399 --> 01:23:13,640
nine zeros, no regrets, even when I'm broke.

1658
01:23:13,760 --> 01:23:16,279
Speaker 3: I love it, love it, and the whistle and the

1659
01:23:16,319 --> 01:23:16,920
whistle is great.

1660
01:23:17,039 --> 01:23:21,359
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, okay. So I said, we've got we've got

1661
01:23:21,399 --> 01:23:23,760
the question. Now, we've got the volleyball song, and we've

1662
01:23:23,760 --> 01:23:25,800
got the fighter Pilot football song. Yep, what do you

1663
01:23:25,840 --> 01:23:26,680
think is the better song?

1664
01:23:27,279 --> 01:23:29,359
Speaker 3: Come on, I'm old school. I'm always gonna go with

1665
01:23:29,479 --> 01:23:32,079
old school. I'm playing with the boys every day of

1666
01:23:32,119 --> 01:23:34,760
the week. I guarantee you're taking Warman Republic.

1667
01:23:34,920 --> 01:23:38,319
Speaker 2: Obviously. I am spiking the football. I am spiking both football.

1668
01:23:38,359 --> 01:23:45,279
I'm spiking the volleyball. That was a good one, all right.

1669
01:23:45,359 --> 01:23:48,039
Speaker 3: Before we weigh in final judgment on what we think

1670
01:23:48,159 --> 01:23:51,159
is the best song out of this grouping, let's hear

1671
01:23:51,199 --> 01:23:53,960
from our buddy Jeff Johnson of the Film By podcast.

1672
01:23:54,159 --> 01:23:56,319
He weighed in on what he thought about the Top

1673
01:23:56,359 --> 01:23:58,119
Gun soundtrack, and here's what he had to say.

1674
01:23:58,239 --> 01:24:02,279
Speaker 9: Hello, Shirley fans, this is Jeff Johnson from a Film

1675
01:24:02,359 --> 01:24:06,159
By podcast. Spittake and Pebbles have called me back to

1676
01:24:06,319 --> 01:24:09,239
Miramar and I'm gonna offer a few words about the

1677
01:24:09,359 --> 01:24:13,720
Top Gun soundtrack. Let's begin with Harold Faldemeyer's Top Gun anthem.

1678
01:24:14,199 --> 01:24:19,319
It's motivating, stimulating, and evokes a feeling of courageousness. I

1679
01:24:19,479 --> 01:24:22,159
like to think that if you could assign a sound

1680
01:24:22,439 --> 01:24:24,920
to Victory, it would be it. And while it is

1681
01:24:25,079 --> 01:24:28,560
the official theme for the movie, many would regard Kenny

1682
01:24:28,640 --> 01:24:32,119
Loggins's Danger Zone as the unofficial theme and.

1683
01:24:32,279 --> 01:24:34,359
Speaker 3: The go to song on the album.

1684
01:24:34,640 --> 01:24:38,279
Speaker 9: Through the years, its popularity has never waned, and given

1685
01:24:38,319 --> 01:24:41,359
its inclusion in Top Gun, Maverick, I have a feeling

1686
01:24:41,800 --> 01:24:46,039
its rotation is safe on radio stations throughout America Now.

1687
01:24:46,319 --> 01:24:48,680
Maverick and Iceman may be the best of the best,

1688
01:24:48,960 --> 01:24:52,279
but they still need backup from guys like Wolfman, Sundown

1689
01:24:52,319 --> 01:24:54,960
and Merlin. And you find that same kind of support

1690
01:24:55,239 --> 01:24:58,640
on this soundtrack. Artists like Larry Green and lover Boy

1691
01:24:58,880 --> 01:25:02,520
keep you engaged. Tina Marie and Miami Sound Machine lead

1692
01:25:02,600 --> 01:25:05,840
you straight to the dance floor, while Jerry Lee Lewis

1693
01:25:05,880 --> 01:25:08,880
and the Righteous Brothers lead you back in time. And

1694
01:25:09,000 --> 01:25:12,680
what about Mighty Wings, the adrenaline pumping rock song from

1695
01:25:12,760 --> 01:25:15,560
Cheap Trick. I say give it the coveted Top Gun

1696
01:25:15,640 --> 01:25:19,520
trophy because it is the best song on this album. Guys,

1697
01:25:19,800 --> 01:25:25,239
this soundtrack has it all, thumping instrumentals, rock pop, oldies,

1698
01:25:25,760 --> 01:25:29,159
and let us not forget a best song Oscar for

1699
01:25:29,319 --> 01:25:34,079
Berlin's take My Breath Away as beautiful as it is timeless.

1700
01:25:34,359 --> 01:25:37,600
As for Top Gun, Maverick, I think having Hans Zimmer

1701
01:25:37,720 --> 01:25:41,479
support Harold Faltemeyer is on par with Viper offering to

1702
01:25:41,520 --> 01:25:45,800
be Maverick's rio. The end result is spectacular. Lady Gaga's

1703
01:25:45,880 --> 01:25:50,119
power ballad Hold My Hand, with its message of reconciliation,

1704
01:25:50,600 --> 01:25:53,520
loyalty and love, is everything we could have asked for

1705
01:25:54,000 --> 01:25:56,760
in a song to help tell Maverick's story. As for

1706
01:25:56,920 --> 01:25:59,960
I Ain't Worried by One Republic, I think it's definitely

1707
01:26:00,199 --> 01:26:03,520
captured that fun summer vibe and would be a great

1708
01:26:03,560 --> 01:26:07,520
addition to any playlist, whether you're lounging by the pool,

1709
01:26:07,840 --> 01:26:10,760
having fun at the family barbecue, or maybe playing some

1710
01:26:10,960 --> 01:26:14,479
dog fight football on the beach. Speaking of barbecue, I

1711
01:26:14,560 --> 01:26:17,880
see my orders not ready just yet, but the piano

1712
01:26:18,159 --> 01:26:21,279
is now free, so I'm gonna go embarrass myself and

1713
01:26:21,399 --> 01:26:24,239
give this place a rendition of Great Balls of Fire.

1714
01:26:24,760 --> 01:26:28,399
And as for the Top Gun soundtrack, well, in nineteen

1715
01:26:28,439 --> 01:26:31,600
eighty six, it was the cassette inside my Sony Walkman

1716
01:26:31,800 --> 01:26:33,760
when I soared through the neighborhood.

1717
01:26:33,239 --> 01:26:33,960
Speaker 2: On my Mongoose.

1718
01:26:34,399 --> 01:26:37,359
Speaker 9: In nineteen ninety six, it was the CD playing for

1719
01:26:37,479 --> 01:26:41,239
my Pontiac Firebird, and nowadays I'm streaming it. I never

1720
01:26:41,279 --> 01:26:43,920
get tired of it, and that is why it's the

1721
01:26:44,039 --> 01:26:47,880
best soundtrack of nineteen eighty six. Guys, I'll see you

1722
01:26:47,960 --> 01:26:48,399
next time.

1723
01:26:48,640 --> 01:26:48,960
Speaker 3: Thanks.

1724
01:26:50,119 --> 01:26:53,239
Speaker 2: I love Jeff Johnson, just great man. He is freaking brilliant.

1725
01:26:53,319 --> 01:26:56,760
I love the comparisons. I don't agree with his choice

1726
01:26:56,800 --> 01:27:00,159
of song, but I absolutely love it. And guys, if

1727
01:27:00,199 --> 01:27:02,479
you have not checked out a film by podcast, you

1728
01:27:02,640 --> 01:27:05,119
need to go check it out. They just came out

1729
01:27:05,199 --> 01:27:09,199
with Maximum Overdrive, which I thought was absolutely hysterical. Listen

1730
01:27:09,239 --> 01:27:12,319
to him talk about that movie. Definitely go check them out. Jeff,

1731
01:27:12,479 --> 01:27:13,760
thank you for contributing, man.

1732
01:27:13,800 --> 01:27:17,319
Speaker 3: Jeff coming Strong with the Mighty Wings. I love that song.

1733
01:27:17,479 --> 01:27:19,520
And you know what, I'm with you, bro, the'se not

1734
01:27:19,680 --> 01:27:22,359
on board, but that's okay. Thanks for chiving in, Jeff.

1735
01:27:22,359 --> 01:27:22,880
We appreciate you.

1736
01:27:23,079 --> 01:27:25,880
Speaker 2: Okay. So that brings us to our question. What is

1737
01:27:26,119 --> 01:27:29,960
your number one favorite song? Are we just saying original soundtrack?

1738
01:27:30,079 --> 01:27:33,600
Let's do original soundtrack, original soundtrack, all original soundtrack, and

1739
01:27:33,680 --> 01:27:34,880
then of the and there.

1740
01:27:34,920 --> 01:27:38,279
Speaker 3: Songs we'll pick amongst that. Yeah, okay, okay, all right,

1741
01:27:38,439 --> 01:27:40,359
so you go, first, original soundtrack?

1742
01:27:40,359 --> 01:27:41,239
Speaker 2: What's your number one song?

1743
01:27:41,840 --> 01:27:44,840
Speaker 3: The best song on the original soundtrack is the one

1744
01:27:44,920 --> 01:27:47,800
that gives me chills and makes the hair stand up

1745
01:27:48,000 --> 01:27:50,680
on my arm every time I freaking hear it. And

1746
01:27:50,800 --> 01:27:54,560
it's the top gun anthem, Steve Stevens blasting my balls

1747
01:27:54,600 --> 01:27:58,199
off with that guitar. Every time I hear it, it

1748
01:27:58,319 --> 01:28:00,399
makes me want to go join the name. I mean,

1749
01:28:00,479 --> 01:28:01,760
it's so good. I love it.

1750
01:28:01,840 --> 01:28:02,119
Speaker 2: I can't.

1751
01:28:02,119 --> 01:28:04,000
Speaker 3: I don't know what to say every time I hear it.

1752
01:28:04,079 --> 01:28:08,319
Speaker 2: That bell whoo man, it is powerful, No question is powerful.

1753
01:28:08,399 --> 01:28:09,319
I can't fault you for that.

1754
01:28:09,800 --> 01:28:10,079
Speaker 5: For me.

1755
01:28:11,279 --> 01:28:14,159
Speaker 2: I mean, I hate to be boring, but it's gotta

1756
01:28:14,199 --> 01:28:14,880
be danger zone.

1757
01:28:15,079 --> 01:28:16,279
Speaker 3: I mean, I can't fault you either.

1758
01:28:16,439 --> 01:28:19,880
Speaker 2: I mean that song blows the doors off, just like

1759
01:28:20,000 --> 01:28:23,039
the anthem, but you got Kenny Loggins's rock and voice

1760
01:28:23,079 --> 01:28:26,039
to go along with it. Yeah. Now, that song the

1761
01:28:26,439 --> 01:28:28,880
best song on the album, hands down in my opinion.

1762
01:28:29,039 --> 01:28:30,720
Speaker 3: Okay, worse song.

1763
01:28:30,880 --> 01:28:32,439
Speaker 2: Honestly, I don't have a worst song on this album.

1764
01:28:32,920 --> 01:28:36,119
None of these are skippers. This album is solid, even

1765
01:28:36,159 --> 01:28:39,560
the ones by Larry Green and Marietta who I don't.

1766
01:28:39,640 --> 01:28:41,439
I mean, I don't know. They're still good.

1767
01:28:41,800 --> 01:28:43,560
Speaker 3: That is the correct answer, sir.

1768
01:28:43,880 --> 01:28:45,319
Speaker 2: Yeah, you nailed it.

1769
01:28:45,399 --> 01:28:47,319
Speaker 3: There is no bad song on this album. They're all great.

1770
01:28:47,359 --> 01:28:48,560
They're all non skippers.

1771
01:28:48,720 --> 01:28:50,680
Speaker 2: Yeah, no, wonder. This is one of the best album

1772
01:28:50,760 --> 01:28:51,840
selling albums of all time.

1773
01:28:51,880 --> 01:28:54,199
Speaker 3: I'm spiking the football. This is the best soundtrack of

1774
01:28:54,279 --> 01:28:55,760
nineteen eighty six, hands down.

1775
01:28:56,000 --> 01:28:59,880
Speaker 2: Okay, now, yep for the extra songs, we threw out

1776
01:29:00,520 --> 01:29:04,479
four extra songs. We've got the Righteous Brothers, We've got

1777
01:29:04,560 --> 01:29:07,039
Jerry Lee Lewis, we've got One Republic, and we've got

1778
01:29:07,159 --> 01:29:07,720
Lady Gaga.

1779
01:29:07,840 --> 01:29:10,319
Speaker 3: It's hard, man. We're talking about all time classics.

1780
01:29:10,520 --> 01:29:14,640
Speaker 2: Yeah, it is my turn. Well I was gonna say,

1781
01:29:14,640 --> 01:29:17,159
we're talking about all time classics, and we're also talking

1782
01:29:17,199 --> 01:29:19,479
about brand new top of the chart songs too.

1783
01:29:19,600 --> 01:29:21,640
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, potentially new classics.

1784
01:29:21,800 --> 01:29:21,960
Speaker 5: Yeah.

1785
01:29:22,119 --> 01:29:26,319
Speaker 3: The best song of these four, man, As much as

1786
01:29:26,359 --> 01:29:28,279
I want to say Hold My Hand by Lady Gaga,

1787
01:29:28,359 --> 01:29:32,039
which I just think is a fantastic song, I have

1788
01:29:32,319 --> 01:29:34,439
to say, you've lost that love and feeling. It's a

1789
01:29:34,560 --> 01:29:37,039
full on cranker. Every time I hear it, it makes

1790
01:29:37,079 --> 01:29:38,720
me want to go serenade my wife.

1791
01:29:39,239 --> 01:29:41,720
Speaker 2: Yeah you know, uh yeah, I mean of all time,

1792
01:29:41,800 --> 01:29:44,720
probably that's gonna be the right answer. But right now,

1793
01:29:45,159 --> 01:29:47,479
I ain't worried. Has got me captivated. I'm picking it

1794
01:29:47,560 --> 01:29:49,479
as the number one of the extra songs, and I

1795
01:29:49,560 --> 01:29:51,760
realized it's probably the least popular of all of them,

1796
01:29:51,800 --> 01:29:54,279
but I don't care. I love it. I love the style,

1797
01:29:54,560 --> 01:29:57,840
I love the lyrics, I love the whistles, I love fun. Yeah.

1798
01:29:58,039 --> 01:30:01,680
Speaker 3: Absolutely, man, I feel like every song we've listened to

1799
01:30:01,680 --> 01:30:02,880
today has just been great.

1800
01:30:03,399 --> 01:30:04,520
Speaker 2: YEP, it's a lot of fun.

1801
01:30:04,680 --> 01:30:07,199
Speaker 3: So that's going to do it for the top Gun soundtrack. Plus,

1802
01:30:07,560 --> 01:30:09,479
let us know where you weigh in. What song is
