1
00:00:00,120 --> 00:00:02,080
Speaker 1: You know, making your way in the world today, sure

2
00:00:02,120 --> 00:00:04,160
can take a lot. Wouldn't you like to get away?

3
00:00:04,480 --> 00:00:07,080
What if I told you there's a podcast that could

4
00:00:07,080 --> 00:00:11,679
help you forget about the economy, inflation, and putting into retirement,

5
00:00:11,839 --> 00:00:15,640
You'd probably say, surely you can't be serious. Well, I

6
00:00:15,679 --> 00:00:17,920
am serious, and don't call me surely.

7
00:00:18,640 --> 00:00:18,839
Speaker 2: Hi.

00:00:19,120 --> 00:00:22,760

just called to say we love you. In fact, you

16
00:00:54,640 --> 00:00:57,560
could say that this whole episode is done in the

17
00:00:57,640 --> 00:01:00,960
name of love. Wait. Wait, wait, that's just my pride talking.

18
00:01:01,320 --> 00:01:04,760
I'm sorry. I've just completely lost self control or am

19
00:01:04,760 --> 00:01:08,879
I just paranoid? I'm sorry. I'm sorry. I'll ask your forgiveness,

20
00:01:08,920 --> 00:01:11,959

21
00:01:12,000 --> 00:01:18,040
I'm just gonna cool it now. A nice welcome back, everybody,

22
00:01:18,120 --> 00:01:21,120
it is season five of these Surely you can't be

23
00:01:21,319 --> 00:01:22,280
serious podcast?

24
00:01:22,359 --> 00:01:24,640
Speaker 3: Can you believe we've been doing this for coming up

25
00:01:24,640 --> 00:01:25,560
on five years now?

26
00:01:25,599 --> 00:01:28,280
Speaker 2: It's nuts. It is absolutely nuts, And just a couple

27
00:01:28,280 --> 00:01:30,239
of months it will be the five year anniversary of

28
00:01:30,319 --> 00:01:33,640
when we sat down on your back patio and hammered

29
00:01:33,680 --> 00:01:34,480
this baby out.

30
00:01:34,799 --> 00:01:37,879
Speaker 3: You know, almost four years ago from this date, we

31
00:01:37,920 --> 00:01:41,959
recorded a three hour episode and we were like, this sucks.

32
00:01:42,480 --> 00:01:44,159
The start over. We trashed it.

33
00:01:44,200 --> 00:01:46,599
Speaker 2: We are going to be talking about stuff from that

34
00:01:46,840 --> 00:01:49,920
very episode. Our very first episode was an album that

35
00:01:50,079 --> 00:01:53,680
was huge in both eighty three and eighty four, and

36
00:01:53,719 --> 00:01:55,680
then last year, just kind of on a whim, on

37
00:01:55,719 --> 00:01:59,359
an in between seasons episode, we decided, hey, let's do

38
00:01:59,439 --> 00:02:02,519
the top hit of nineteen eighty three. Well, as it

39
00:02:02,560 --> 00:02:04,879
turned out, that ended up being a really fun and

40
00:02:05,000 --> 00:02:08,000
really popular episode, and so we did several top five

41
00:02:08,120 --> 00:02:10,479
lists over the course of last season, and we thought,

42
00:02:10,560 --> 00:02:12,960
why don't we start the year off with another top

43
00:02:13,039 --> 00:02:13,800
five this year?

44
00:02:13,840 --> 00:02:17,439
Speaker 3: Hey, I'm telling you, when it comes to music, nineteen

45
00:02:17,479 --> 00:02:19,479
eighty four may be the best.

46
00:02:19,759 --> 00:02:22,599
Speaker 2: It's incredible, and just as an example of how good

47
00:02:22,639 --> 00:02:26,759
it is, we have covered every single album that was

48
00:02:26,919 --> 00:02:30,800
a top album of that year already, every single one,

49
00:02:30,919 --> 00:02:34,080
is that right? Yes, We've covered the Footloose soundtrack, we

50
00:02:34,159 --> 00:02:37,960
covered Thriller, we covered Purple Rain, we covered Born in

51
00:02:37,960 --> 00:02:40,639
the USA, and we covered Ue Loose in the New Sports.

52
00:02:40,759 --> 00:02:42,919
I mean we've hit them all. Those were the only

53
00:02:43,000 --> 00:02:46,000
albums that were top albums in a Billboard two hundred

54
00:02:46,080 --> 00:02:48,479
in nineteen eighty four. In a job Us, Yeah, good

55
00:02:48,560 --> 00:02:51,080
job us. In our nineteen eighty three top five episode,

56
00:02:51,120 --> 00:02:53,280
we hit some of the ones that we had covered already.

57
00:02:53,280 --> 00:02:55,639
But we've learned over the course of the last season

58
00:02:55,719 --> 00:02:57,439
we need to put some rules on ourselves so that

59
00:02:57,479 --> 00:03:00,439
we can have some new material. That's right. So this

60
00:03:00,680 --> 00:03:04,360
episode we are not touching any songs on any of

61
00:03:04,400 --> 00:03:07,000
those albums that I just mentioned, or any of the

62
00:03:07,080 --> 00:03:10,520
other big albums from nineteen eighty four that we might

63
00:03:10,560 --> 00:03:13,479
have touched on maybe last season, like Billy Joel's Innocent

64
00:03:13,520 --> 00:03:16,319
Man or Lionel Richie's Can't Slow Down.

65
00:03:16,439 --> 00:03:18,439
Speaker 3: Wait a minute now, are you telling me that we're

66
00:03:18,439 --> 00:03:20,719
doing a top five list from nineteen eighty four and

67
00:03:20,759 --> 00:03:23,800
we're not including Thriller, We're not including Purple Rain, We're

68
00:03:23,800 --> 00:03:27,280
not including Footloos, We're not including Billy, Joel, Lionel, Ritchie,

69
00:03:27,319 --> 00:03:27,879
all of those.

70
00:03:28,039 --> 00:03:30,120
Speaker 2: That is correct, sir, Wow, it's gonna be hard. No,

71
00:03:30,240 --> 00:03:34,879
it's not. It's only hard because even without those monumental albums,

72
00:03:34,960 --> 00:03:38,319
there are still a bud jillion songs that are worthy

73
00:03:38,800 --> 00:03:40,199
of talking about.

74
00:03:40,240 --> 00:03:41,960
Speaker 3: Okay, so here's what I think we should do. Let's

75
00:03:41,960 --> 00:03:44,639
go through our top five plus two honorable mentions, and

76
00:03:44,639 --> 00:03:46,560
then at the end of this, let's give the real

77
00:03:46,800 --> 00:03:47,400
top five.

78
00:03:47,560 --> 00:03:50,879
Speaker 2: Okay, that's fair, Okay, the real top five being the

79
00:03:50,879 --> 00:03:55,000
ones that we would include the albums that we've already covered. Yeah, yeah, okay,

80
00:03:55,000 --> 00:03:57,599
Well I've got another idea, all right. Yeah, there's one

81
00:03:57,840 --> 00:04:01,360
song that's a nineteen eighty four or mammoth hit that

82
00:04:01,479 --> 00:04:03,840
I say we make it a secret song. It's a

83
00:04:03,879 --> 00:04:06,919
secret episode, and ladies and gentlemen, if you're listening, you

84
00:04:06,960 --> 00:04:10,039

00:04:59,199 --> 00:04:59,560

106
00:04:59,639 --> 00:05:02,360
Speaker 2: So say that we do this is we tease it up.

We tease it up for each other. We give a

108
00:05:04,040 --> 00:05:06,519
little clues to see if we can get the other

109
00:05:06,560 --> 00:05:09,319
guy to guess it. All right, Okay, and so here

110
00:05:09,319 --> 00:05:16,360
we are my number five five Okay. This artist had

111
00:05:16,720 --> 00:05:20,560
seven top forty hits during the nineteen eighties. Her songs

112
00:05:20,560 --> 00:05:24,160
have been covered by Michael Bolton and Celine Dion. Okay.

113
00:05:24,399 --> 00:05:27,600
The song that she had big in eighty four was

114
00:05:27,759 --> 00:05:32,079
actually released by an Italian group called Raff in nineteen

115
00:05:32,120 --> 00:05:34,920
eighty four in Italy. That version went to number one

116
00:05:35,040 --> 00:05:38,399
in Italy, and this artist version was recorded and released

117
00:05:38,560 --> 00:05:41,800
shortly after still nineteen eighty four, so they actually ended

118
00:05:41,879 --> 00:05:44,839
up competing against each other on the charts. They were

119
00:05:44,879 --> 00:05:48,680
actually number one and number two in Germany. Raff had

120
00:05:48,759 --> 00:05:52,680
number two and this artist had number one. Okay. In

121
00:05:52,720 --> 00:05:56,480
Switzerland and Germany, this version of the song was considered

122
00:05:56,720 --> 00:05:59,720
the song of the year. It was arranged by Harold.

123
00:05:59,480 --> 00:06:02,959
Speaker 3: Faalt My wait Wait Wait wait held Faltemeyer the top

124
00:06:02,959 --> 00:06:08,399
gun anthem Guy axel f Yes okay, Georgio Moroder's right

125
00:06:08,399 --> 00:06:11,879
hand man, Yeah, you got my attention okay. Singer started

126
00:06:11,920 --> 00:06:15,680
off by singing backup for Leonard Cohen Okay. She decided

127
00:06:15,720 --> 00:06:18,560
to try to get a manager herself and ended up

128
00:06:18,720 --> 00:06:21,439
Sid Bernstein agreed to represent her. He got her a

129
00:06:21,480 --> 00:06:24,879
record deal Jack White was producing, and Jack White introduced

130
00:06:24,879 --> 00:06:27,680
her to this new manager named Susan Joseph, and she

131
00:06:27,800 --> 00:06:32,439
switched Well. Bernstein ends up suing her for fifteen million dollars.

132
00:06:32,759 --> 00:06:35,759
So when you say she in nineteen eighty four, my

133
00:06:35,920 --> 00:06:39,160
mind automatically goes to either Madonna or Cyndi Lauper.

134
00:06:39,199 --> 00:06:41,600
Speaker 2: Of course it does, okay, but it's not either one

135
00:06:41,600 --> 00:06:41,759
of them.

136
00:06:41,879 --> 00:06:43,319
Speaker 3: Okay, okay, keep going, keep it right.

137
00:06:43,600 --> 00:06:47,120
Speaker 2: So in nineteen ninety she retired from music because she

138
00:06:47,160 --> 00:06:48,920
had to take care of her husband, who had cancer.

139
00:06:49,160 --> 00:06:51,759
She in two thousand and one went back into the studio,

140
00:06:52,079 --> 00:06:54,720
remastered some of her songs, including this one, made it

141
00:06:54,759 --> 00:06:58,240
a dance hit, and then started performing live again and

142
00:06:58,360 --> 00:07:02,759
was working on her back album when in two thousand

143
00:07:02,759 --> 00:07:06,639
and four she had a brain hemorrhage and died instantly,

144
00:07:06,680 --> 00:07:09,959
totally unexpected. And in two thousand and four, after that happened,

145
00:07:10,079 --> 00:07:12,639
this song hit the charts again. She had had a

146
00:07:12,680 --> 00:07:16,480
little more success with another song, hand On Yeah, I.

147
00:07:16,439 --> 00:07:17,079
Speaker 3: Think I got it?

148
00:07:17,120 --> 00:07:19,439
Speaker 2: Okay, is it Laura Branigan, you got it? Yes?

149
00:07:19,959 --> 00:07:21,040
Speaker 3: This is self control.

150
00:07:35,079 --> 00:07:38,920
Speaker 2: So this intro is the perfect definition of what happens

151
00:07:38,920 --> 00:07:42,879
with nineteen eighty four. You have this beautiful synth intro

152
00:07:43,120 --> 00:07:45,519
with this drum machine and you're like new wave yes,

153
00:07:45,800 --> 00:07:48,759
and then all of a sudden, the crunchy guitar comes in.

154
00:07:52,160 --> 00:07:54,519
Oh man, I love this song.

155
00:07:54,600 --> 00:07:56,920
Speaker 3: This almost made the list for me, my sister and

156
00:07:56,959 --> 00:07:59,279
I particularly love this. We used to watch this video

157
00:07:59,319 --> 00:08:01,319
a lot, and she's like stocked by this guy in

158
00:08:01,360 --> 00:08:04,920
a mask and like who is the guy? And it's

159
00:08:04,959 --> 00:08:06,360
it's definitely an eighties video.

160
00:08:06,680 --> 00:08:07,319
Speaker 2: Great song.

161
00:08:07,600 --> 00:08:10,360
Speaker 3: Laura Bran again, who also sang Gloria exactly.

162
00:08:10,439 --> 00:08:11,600
Speaker 2: Yes, that kind of known for that one.

163
00:08:11,759 --> 00:08:13,399
Speaker 3: Yes, okay, yeah, I love it.

164
00:08:13,759 --> 00:08:16,399
Speaker 2: Yeah. Sadly she passed away. She was only fifty two,

165
00:08:16,680 --> 00:08:19,360
Like she decided, hey, I'm getting back into it. I'm

166
00:08:19,399 --> 00:08:23,600
doing it again. And then right in full steam she brains, yeah,

167
00:08:23,680 --> 00:08:26,480
I didn't know that. Okay, tragic loss. She was amazing.

168
00:08:26,639 --> 00:08:30,319
Speaker 3: Okay, cool, all right, you're number five, okay to my

169
00:08:30,560 --> 00:08:34,240
number five. This song was released March of nineteen eighty four,

170
00:08:34,360 --> 00:08:37,879
peaked out at number three in June of nineteen eighty four.

171
00:08:37,919 --> 00:08:40,519
So this is a big sort of summary type of

172
00:08:40,559 --> 00:08:41,240
feel to me.

173
00:08:41,440 --> 00:08:41,759
Speaker 2: Okay.

174
00:08:41,919 --> 00:08:45,600
Speaker 3: This is a solo breakoff from the guy's original group.

175
00:08:45,879 --> 00:08:48,159
Speaker 2: I think I know what it is. I will say this,

176
00:08:48,639 --> 00:08:51,679
And you just showed it too fast, didn't I Again,

177
00:08:51,799 --> 00:08:53,759
you can give clues if you want to. But is

178
00:08:53,879 --> 00:08:58,159
the named female in this song also in the band's

179
00:08:58,399 --> 00:09:02,759
early video that was aptsolutely terrible. Yes, okay, yes, I

180
00:09:02,799 --> 00:09:04,879
got it, yes, keep going.

181
00:09:04,720 --> 00:09:07,559
Speaker 3: Okay, all right, all right, so clearly you know what

182
00:09:07,600 --> 00:09:11,039
this is. But this song was written by Bill Cuomo,

183
00:09:11,360 --> 00:09:14,799
Craig Cramped and the artist. They started working on it

184
00:09:14,799 --> 00:09:17,639
at midnight. They built it off what they call a

185
00:09:17,720 --> 00:09:23,200
scratch track, no words, just him going whatever yeah, and

186
00:09:23,240 --> 00:09:26,200
then a guy came in and filled in lyrics behind it.

187
00:09:26,240 --> 00:09:29,240
The video stars his girlfriend, who wasn't an actress, but

188
00:09:29,360 --> 00:09:32,960
she's certainly attractive enough to be in the video. And

189
00:09:33,240 --> 00:09:35,240
the whole video is Google. You know, it's just like

190
00:09:36,000 --> 00:09:38,039
it's like a video shoot and they're trying to do

191
00:09:38,080 --> 00:09:39,799
all these weird things and it's like they're on a

192
00:09:39,799 --> 00:09:42,039
break and he just starts singing.

193
00:09:42,080 --> 00:09:44,519
Speaker 2: And my favorite part of the video is when the

194
00:09:44,559 --> 00:09:50,840
guy starts playing lead guitar on the mandolind Okay, So

195
00:09:50,919 --> 00:10:03,519
this is Oh Sherry by Steve Perry.

196
00:10:04,279 --> 00:10:06,000
Speaker 3: I love this song man. The synth hook at the

197
00:10:06,039 --> 00:10:11,480
beginning captures me Steve Perry's powerful voice, the should have

198
00:10:11,480 --> 00:10:15,679
been God at the beginning, great intro and then the chorus.

199
00:10:15,679 --> 00:10:16,600
It's just so much fun.

200
00:10:16,759 --> 00:10:18,679
Speaker 2: It was so much fun. I remember when we did

201
00:10:18,720 --> 00:10:21,679
our Journey episode. Go back and check that album out Frontiers.

202
00:10:21,840 --> 00:10:24,000
But I remember that Neil Shoen was talking about how

203
00:10:24,039 --> 00:10:26,519
everybody you know decided to go do some solo projects,

204
00:10:26,559 --> 00:10:29,000
but he went and did like broad rock or heavy

205
00:10:29,039 --> 00:10:31,519
metal or something like that. Right, and then Steve Perry

206
00:10:31,519 --> 00:10:33,240
goes out and does a song that's exactly like a

207
00:10:33,320 --> 00:10:34,000
Journey song.

208
00:10:35,960 --> 00:10:37,919
Speaker 3: Hit number three I was gonna give you this the

209
00:10:37,960 --> 00:10:40,879
Top five June ninth, nineteen eighty four. Yeah, which we

210
00:10:40,919 --> 00:10:43,639
talked about. Nineteen eighty four, great year for music. Here's

211
00:10:43,639 --> 00:10:45,919
your top five ready. Number five is a song I'm

212
00:10:45,919 --> 00:10:47,399
gonna talk about in a minute, so I'm not gonna

213
00:10:47,399 --> 00:10:50,279
tell you. Number four is The Reflex by Duran Duran,

214
00:10:50,360 --> 00:10:52,919
I Love It. Number three is Oh Sherry by Steve Perry.

215
00:10:53,000 --> 00:10:54,799
Number two is Let's Hear It for the Boy by

216
00:10:54,799 --> 00:10:57,679
Denise Williams off the Footloose Cud track, and number one

217
00:10:57,759 --> 00:10:59,399
is Time after Time by Cindy Lapper.

218
00:10:59,480 --> 00:10:59,919
Speaker 2: Incredible.

219
00:11:00,600 --> 00:11:06,799
Speaker 3: Even though Steve and Sherry went their separate ways, Thank.

220
00:11:06,639 --> 00:11:08,960
Speaker 2: You, I love what you did there, Thank you Hey.

221
00:11:09,919 --> 00:11:12,360
Speaker 3: Loving a music man ain't always what it's supposed to be.

222
00:11:12,919 --> 00:11:17,679
Thank God they did remain friends. She actually never married,

223
00:11:18,200 --> 00:11:21,200
never had kids. She's a yoga instructor that she did

224
00:11:21,240 --> 00:11:25,080
have that one moment and a number three hit written

225
00:11:25,080 --> 00:11:28,480
about her. It's awesome, Sherry Swafford to your number four sir.

226
00:11:28,519 --> 00:11:34,639
Speaker 2: All right, number four four, all right. This band formed

227
00:11:34,639 --> 00:11:37,879
in nineteen seventy two, but they didn't get their an

228
00:11:38,240 --> 00:11:42,320
iconic lead singer until sometime later. Shockingly, this is crazy.

229
00:11:42,440 --> 00:11:47,200
This song is this band's only top forty hit, even

230
00:11:47,240 --> 00:11:50,200
though everybody from the eighties knows who this band is.

231
00:11:50,519 --> 00:11:53,240
Everybody Okay. The lead singer had actually been working on

232
00:11:53,279 --> 00:11:55,679
the song for years based on the chorus that he

233
00:11:55,720 --> 00:11:58,799
came up with, but he could never get exactly what

234
00:11:58,879 --> 00:12:02,159
he wanted. Then, in nineteen eighty three, he was inspired

235
00:12:02,200 --> 00:12:07,240
by sex pistols quyat Riot, but most importantly Mutt Lang's

236
00:12:07,320 --> 00:12:11,279
work on def Leppard's Pyromania Interesting. He's like, that's it,

237
00:12:11,320 --> 00:12:13,639
That's what this song needs to be. Now. By this

238
00:12:13,720 --> 00:12:17,279
time they had signed with Atlantic Records Okay, okay, and

239
00:12:17,320 --> 00:12:19,919
they were given Tom Warman to produce their album. Tom

240
00:12:19,960 --> 00:12:22,600
Warman was known as the metal guy right Motley Crue

241
00:12:22,679 --> 00:12:26,480
and yeah yeah, so well known, good producer. But they

242
00:12:26,559 --> 00:12:29,879
start having problems right off the bat because Tom hands

243
00:12:29,960 --> 00:12:32,279
the lead singer a tape and says you need to

244
00:12:32,320 --> 00:12:34,039
listen to these songs and figure out which one of

245
00:12:34,080 --> 00:12:36,440
them you want to cover. And the lead singer's like,

246
00:12:36,639 --> 00:12:39,240
did you get our demo tape because we have songs,

247
00:12:39,360 --> 00:12:41,080
and he's like, yeah, I listened to it. Just go

248
00:12:41,080 --> 00:12:42,679
ahead and listen to this and see which of these

249
00:12:42,720 --> 00:12:45,360
songs you want to cover. So the lead singer is confused,

250
00:12:45,399 --> 00:12:48,039
but trust Tom, and he listens to the tape and

251
00:12:48,080 --> 00:12:51,799
he's like, yeah, these are songs by Saxon, which I mean,

252
00:12:51,840 --> 00:12:54,320
they're great songs. We love Saxon, but we tour with

253
00:12:54,399 --> 00:12:57,279
Saxon and Tom's like yeah. So he's like, so if

254
00:12:57,320 --> 00:13:00,399
we cover their songs and then go on the road

255
00:13:00,759 --> 00:13:03,480
with them playing their songs, we're gonna look like a joke.

256
00:13:03,519 --> 00:13:06,039
This is ridiculous, right, And he's like, well, okay, whatever,

257
00:13:06,039 --> 00:13:07,399
I guess I'll give it to some other band and

258
00:13:07,480 --> 00:13:09,279
let them have hits with it. And that was just

259
00:13:09,320 --> 00:13:12,360
the beginning of the problems. Tom was resistant to the

260
00:13:12,360 --> 00:13:15,519
band the whole time, tried to talk them out of

261
00:13:15,919 --> 00:13:18,879
three songs on the album that ended up being the

262
00:13:19,240 --> 00:13:22,440
three singles that they released, including this one, which I

263
00:13:22,480 --> 00:13:25,320
said is the band's biggest hit. When they make the

264
00:13:25,440 --> 00:13:29,759
video for this song, they are inspired by Wiley Coyote

265
00:13:29,799 --> 00:13:34,279
and his adventures with the Roadrunner. Okay, this song is

266
00:13:34,279 --> 00:13:37,159
a part of the Filthy fifteen. It was because the

267
00:13:37,200 --> 00:13:41,519
PMRC thought this song promoted violence. So when the PMRC

268
00:13:41,720 --> 00:13:44,399
starts their witch hunt, they invite the lead singer to testify.

269
00:13:44,480 --> 00:13:46,960
And he comes and testifies, and he is dressed up

270
00:13:47,120 --> 00:13:50,360
just like he would be for a concert, and he says, listen,

271
00:13:50,399 --> 00:13:53,440
I don't drink, I don't smoke, I don't do drugs.

272
00:13:53,600 --> 00:13:56,279
I was raised in a Christian home and I have

273
00:13:56,320 --> 00:13:58,559
a wife and a child, and I try to raise

274
00:13:58,600 --> 00:14:00,200
my family with those values.

275
00:14:00,320 --> 00:14:02,559
Speaker 3: I love this guy. I know exactly who this is.

276
00:14:02,639 --> 00:14:04,639
Speaker 2: He's my namesake. This is d Snyder.

277
00:14:04,720 --> 00:14:07,120
Speaker 3: You got it, twisted sister. This has to be We're

278
00:14:07,120 --> 00:14:21,679
not gonna take it. You got it it. God, this

279
00:14:21,720 --> 00:14:23,039
is a fantastic song.

280
00:14:23,399 --> 00:14:25,240
Speaker 2: My mind was blown when I found out this is

281
00:14:25,279 --> 00:14:28,639
their only top forty hit. I woar, A rock is

282
00:14:28,639 --> 00:14:32,000
not a top forty, none of them. And I was

283
00:14:32,039 --> 00:14:35,600
like what. And of course, the ironic poetry of it

284
00:14:35,639 --> 00:14:37,960
is is that the government was on a witch hunt

285
00:14:37,960 --> 00:14:42,039
for these guys, and then by this century, every political

286
00:14:42,159 --> 00:14:45,000
candidate wants to use this song as their I know

287
00:14:45,360 --> 00:14:46,440
is their campaign song.

288
00:14:46,519 --> 00:14:49,039
Speaker 3: I told you to watch a documentary on Netflix about

289
00:14:49,039 --> 00:14:49,759
Twisted Sister.

290
00:14:49,960 --> 00:14:50,200
Speaker 2: Yes.

291
00:14:50,480 --> 00:14:52,440
Speaker 3: It's a fantastic documentary.

292
00:14:52,480 --> 00:14:54,799
Speaker 2: It really is. I've seen it. It is really, really good.

293
00:14:54,799 --> 00:14:55,759
This is a great story.

294
00:14:55,840 --> 00:14:59,360
Speaker 3: These guys worked hard, toured, busted their butts, and so

295
00:14:59,519 --> 00:15:01,840
for them to have this kind of success, it's fantastic.

296
00:15:01,879 --> 00:15:05,039
The one thing I remember about this particular video and

297
00:15:05,559 --> 00:15:07,919
I want to Rock Yes, is you have the guy

298
00:15:08,000 --> 00:15:13,039
from Animal House who played Niedermeier, who's like, what's that

299
00:15:13,480 --> 00:15:17,519
a twist? And Sister Pen he's wiley coyote but yeah,

300
00:15:18,039 --> 00:15:24,279
and then like I want to rock fun videos, fun band.

301
00:15:24,480 --> 00:15:27,679
Speaker 2: Yeah. I think that probably that created more of a

302
00:15:27,679 --> 00:15:30,200
problem for him because they kind of became a little

303
00:15:30,240 --> 00:15:33,519
bit slapstick joky after that with their face paint and

304
00:15:33,559 --> 00:15:36,879
the rash and boldness, because they didn't do anything after this, Yeah,

305
00:15:36,919 --> 00:15:38,120
nothing after this album.

306
00:15:37,960 --> 00:15:40,039
Speaker 3: Stay Hungry, all right, D So we've talked about this

307
00:15:40,080 --> 00:15:40,559
band before.

308
00:15:40,600 --> 00:15:40,840
Speaker 2: Okay.

309
00:15:40,879 --> 00:15:44,000
Speaker 3: This particular song was released February third, nineteen eighty four,

310
00:15:44,159 --> 00:15:47,200
reached number twenty five on the Hot one hundred. Okay,

311
00:15:47,279 --> 00:15:51,559
which seems incredibly low for how iconic this song is okay.

312
00:15:52,360 --> 00:15:54,600
Now here's the deal. The singer wrote the lyrics to

313
00:15:54,639 --> 00:15:59,440
this song. He stopped and started ten times, started it, stopped,

314
00:15:59,759 --> 00:16:03,360
through it away, started again, didn't like it, threw it.

315
00:16:03,360 --> 00:16:04,679
Speaker 2: Away all right, And.

316
00:16:04,559 --> 00:16:07,120
Speaker 3: He said he knew this was like a hit. This

317
00:16:07,200 --> 00:16:09,639
is a great song. I've got to get the lyrics right.

318
00:16:09,840 --> 00:16:13,200
And so he wanted to have this combination of attitude sexuality.

319
00:16:13,240 --> 00:16:15,960
Now you mentioned the PMRC. They came after them on

320
00:16:16,000 --> 00:16:19,480
this song because of the video was so us cages

321
00:16:19,519 --> 00:16:20,240
and have caged.

322
00:16:20,480 --> 00:16:21,919
Speaker 2: I got it women, I got it.

323
00:16:21,919 --> 00:16:22,720
Speaker 3: Okay, what do you got?

324
00:16:22,879 --> 00:16:25,039
Speaker 2: Okay? So I know this one because this is my

325
00:16:25,120 --> 00:16:25,600
number three.

326
00:16:26,120 --> 00:16:26,960
Speaker 3: Uh huh okay.

327
00:16:27,919 --> 00:16:51,600
Speaker 2: So this is Scorpions rocky like a hurricane. This song

328
00:16:51,720 --> 00:16:53,200
only made it to number twenty five.

329
00:16:53,320 --> 00:16:54,159
Speaker 3: Twenty five?

330
00:16:54,279 --> 00:16:57,559
Speaker 2: What the heck? What? This song is one of the

331
00:16:57,600 --> 00:17:00,320
most iconic songs from the eighties. You can't go to

332
00:17:00,360 --> 00:17:03,279
a sporting event and not hear this song. As a

333
00:17:03,320 --> 00:17:05,799
matter of fact, another bit of trivia, some guy who

334
00:17:05,839 --> 00:17:09,160
worked for the Pittsburgh Steelers got fired because when the

335
00:17:09,200 --> 00:17:13,400
New Orleans Saints came to play shortly after Hurricane Katrina,

336
00:17:13,480 --> 00:17:17,519
he played this song. They were coming out that was

337
00:17:17,559 --> 00:17:19,759
one of my bits of trivia on this one. Here's

338
00:17:19,799 --> 00:17:22,799
the other bit of trivia. So the drummer, the drummer

339
00:17:23,119 --> 00:17:26,960
from the Scorpions had a significant drug problem and health

340
00:17:27,000 --> 00:17:29,680
problems related to his drug use, and they forced him

341
00:17:29,680 --> 00:17:32,839
to take a break while they were recording this album. Right,

342
00:17:32,880 --> 00:17:34,519
they're about to record this album. They're like, dude, you

343
00:17:34,519 --> 00:17:36,640
are too far gone. You got to go rehab. And

344
00:17:36,720 --> 00:17:39,880
so they get the drummer from Rainbow to replace him

345
00:17:39,960 --> 00:17:42,599
with his blessing, right, And so this poor guy has

346
00:17:42,599 --> 00:17:44,440
to go, you know, to rehab and the beaches of

347
00:17:44,519 --> 00:17:48,240
the Mediterranean somewhere. And after like two weeks, Class Minor

348
00:17:48,279 --> 00:17:51,200
calls him up. He's like, we need you to come

349
00:17:51,240 --> 00:17:55,079
back because we don't sound like the Scorpions without you.

350
00:17:55,759 --> 00:18:01,319
And so out Rainbow goes and incomes James Kotak guy

351
00:18:01,519 --> 00:18:03,880
just January ninth. How old was he?

352
00:18:04,039 --> 00:18:05,720
Speaker 3: Sixty one years old?

353
00:18:06,039 --> 00:18:08,559
Speaker 2: Wow? I mean for a band that's been around, I'm

354
00:18:08,559 --> 00:18:10,480
sure he was. He must have been a guy who

355
00:18:10,519 --> 00:18:12,720
came in because I mean they've been around for forever.

356
00:18:12,759 --> 00:18:15,480
They have like fifty albums or something ridiculous.

357
00:18:15,559 --> 00:18:18,400
Speaker 3: Yeah, you know, we've talked about them before. How their popularity.

358
00:18:18,400 --> 00:18:21,000
We talked about the Moscow Peace Festival and how bon

359
00:18:21,079 --> 00:18:24,119
Jovi was the kind of the closer and the headliner.

360
00:18:24,839 --> 00:18:28,799
But in Russia those people were Scorpions fans.

361
00:18:29,839 --> 00:18:32,359
Speaker 2: You know, Yeah they were, they were They were the

362
00:18:32,400 --> 00:18:34,680
big time there. And then of course there's the whole

363
00:18:35,039 --> 00:18:36,759
CIA urban myth.

364
00:18:37,079 --> 00:18:38,680
Speaker 3: You have got to talk about that.

365
00:18:38,880 --> 00:18:41,640
Speaker 2: That's Winds of Change. Was it written by the CIA

366
00:18:41,720 --> 00:18:41,960
or not?

367
00:18:42,720 --> 00:18:44,480
Speaker 3: I would love to dive into that.

368
00:18:44,640 --> 00:18:46,880
Speaker 2: Yeah, it would be fantastic. By the way, the slow

369
00:18:46,920 --> 00:18:48,559
song on the album, I can't remember what it's called on,

370
00:18:48,799 --> 00:18:52,880
but it was thank You Yes, Still Loving You actually

371
00:18:53,279 --> 00:18:55,880
created a baby boom in France in nineteen eighty five.

372
00:18:59,000 --> 00:19:01,440
Speaker 3: I love this line for the The bitch is hungry

373
00:19:01,559 --> 00:19:04,160
she needs to tell so give her inches and feed

374
00:19:04,200 --> 00:19:04,640
her well.

375
00:19:04,960 --> 00:19:07,279
Speaker 2: I don't know why the PMRC was upset about it.

376
00:19:07,279 --> 00:19:08,079
Speaker 3: It's poetry.

377
00:19:08,160 --> 00:19:10,039
Speaker 2: Here's the thing in that video, Like you said, it

378
00:19:10,079 --> 00:19:12,119
was the video, not necessarily the song that got them

379
00:19:12,119 --> 00:19:15,240
in trouble. They've got their inside cages and there are

380
00:19:15,279 --> 00:19:18,240
women trying to lustfully get to them, right right, right right.

381
00:19:18,319 --> 00:19:21,559
They weren't using models. These were actual Scorpions fans that

382
00:19:21,559 --> 00:19:23,079
they had recruited. To be in the video.

383
00:19:23,200 --> 00:19:24,359
Speaker 3: Well, you know, enthusiasm.

384
00:19:24,440 --> 00:19:26,920
Speaker 2: It was important. It's true to life, true to life.

385
00:19:27,119 --> 00:19:29,640
Speaker 3: I do love how they actually say the title of

386
00:19:29,680 --> 00:19:31,920
the album in this song, they actually say love at

387
00:19:31,960 --> 00:19:35,519
First Team. And this album cover was a young Jason's favorite.

388
00:19:35,720 --> 00:19:38,680
Speaker 2: Side boob is side boob was epic. Yeah, side boo

389
00:19:38,839 --> 00:19:40,920
boob is epic. Okay, So well that was my That

390
00:19:41,039 --> 00:19:43,920
was my number three. So I've just covered my number

391
00:19:43,960 --> 00:19:45,640
three with you. So now you've got to do your

392
00:19:45,680 --> 00:19:46,480
number three.

393
00:19:46,319 --> 00:19:46,880
Speaker 3: My number three.

394
00:19:46,920 --> 00:19:47,559
Speaker 2: You're number three?

395
00:19:47,680 --> 00:19:52,640
Speaker 3: Okay, all right, so here we go My number three three,

396
00:19:53,079 --> 00:19:56,279
released March of nineteen eighty four. This reached number five

397
00:19:56,400 --> 00:19:58,279
on the Hot one hundred, which I mentioned.

398
00:19:58,000 --> 00:19:58,640
Speaker 2: A few minutes ago.

399
00:19:58,839 --> 00:20:01,880
Speaker 3: Okay, this was ranked number thirty two on VH one's

400
00:20:01,880 --> 00:20:06,160
Greatest Songs of the nineteen eighties. I just heard last

401
00:20:06,279 --> 00:20:09,480
night the lead vocalist for this band talking on hair

402
00:20:09,640 --> 00:20:12,079
Nation saying they were on tour, got a call from

403
00:20:12,079 --> 00:20:15,839
their manager. Manager said the record company has gone bankrupt.

404
00:20:15,920 --> 00:20:19,079
We need you guys back in the studio right this second.

405
00:20:19,359 --> 00:20:20,160
Speaker 2: Was it Chrystalis?

406
00:20:20,200 --> 00:20:21,920
Speaker 3: I guess it could have been Chrystalis. I don't know

407
00:20:22,000 --> 00:20:24,839
what album's crazy alright, go ahead. So anyway, they felt

408
00:20:24,880 --> 00:20:28,200
okay because this song they had in their back pocket.

409
00:20:28,279 --> 00:20:31,160
Now then the vocals on this is done by the drummer.

410
00:20:31,279 --> 00:20:33,839
Speaker 2: Okay, hold that thought, because this one ranks higher on

411
00:20:33,880 --> 00:20:35,319
my list and I want to come back to it.

412
00:20:35,599 --> 00:20:40,240
Speaker 3: Okay, okay, all right, all right, two, Okay, you're number two.

413
00:20:40,400 --> 00:20:42,559
Speaker 2: Okay, yeah, sorry, guys, put a pin in that last one.

414
00:20:42,599 --> 00:20:44,039
It's going to come back up in a minute here.

415
00:20:44,240 --> 00:20:47,319
But hey, we're not going to have another meeting of

416
00:20:47,319 --> 00:20:50,240
the minds on number one, I guess, so it'll be interesting,

417
00:20:50,279 --> 00:20:53,680
all right, all right, so this song was written on

418
00:20:53,839 --> 00:20:55,440
the toilet, all right.

419
00:20:56,039 --> 00:20:56,319
Speaker 3: Good.

420
00:20:56,559 --> 00:20:59,559
Speaker 2: This band started off in nineteen sixty eight. They had

421
00:20:59,559 --> 00:21:02,160
been around for a while, start off in sixty eight,

422
00:21:02,200 --> 00:21:07,079
and they were a pro rock band, their progressive rock. Okay.

423
00:21:07,200 --> 00:21:11,000
In nineteen eighty, one of the main founders of the band, Leaves,

424
00:21:11,279 --> 00:21:14,480
he's the singer. He Leaves brings in a couple of

425
00:21:14,480 --> 00:21:16,880
guys that we've talked about before. I won't mention their

426
00:21:16,920 --> 00:21:19,240
name yet because that'll give it away. But they release

427
00:21:19,319 --> 00:21:22,359
an album under this band's name in nineteen eighty and

428
00:21:22,480 --> 00:21:25,839
it's got very bad reception, and so basically the band

429
00:21:25,920 --> 00:21:29,400
is dead then for twous events occur over the next

430
00:21:29,400 --> 00:21:32,240
couple of years, and the band comes back to life

431
00:21:32,480 --> 00:21:35,920
with this album and this song, which is the biggest

432
00:21:35,960 --> 00:21:37,200
hit off of the album.

433
00:21:37,279 --> 00:21:39,400
Speaker 3: I think I know it is, but keep going, all right.

434
00:21:39,480 --> 00:21:43,559
Speaker 2: The two guys that came in as replacements for John

435
00:21:43,640 --> 00:21:47,640
Anderson were Trevor Horn and Jeffrey Downs of the group

436
00:21:48,119 --> 00:21:48,720
The Buggles.

437
00:21:49,000 --> 00:21:51,960
Speaker 3: Trevor Horn, I remember that Okay video killed the radio

438
00:21:52,000 --> 00:21:52,720
Star right.

439
00:21:53,000 --> 00:21:56,119
Speaker 2: So after the bad reception of their nineteen eighty album,

440
00:21:56,440 --> 00:21:59,759
the members Downs and how they go on to form

441
00:21:59,799 --> 00:22:03,759
eight and then the members Squire and Trevor Rabin formed

442
00:22:03,799 --> 00:22:07,359
this group called Cinema, and Trevor Horn is still with them.

443
00:22:07,359 --> 00:22:10,119
He's working production now and they decided to hit up

444
00:22:10,160 --> 00:22:13,640
their old lead singer from before, John Anderson about providing

445
00:22:13,720 --> 00:22:17,200
some vocals, says when he comes in, and they've got

446
00:22:17,279 --> 00:22:19,920
basically the two guys that formed this band in the beginning.

447
00:22:20,079 --> 00:22:23,720
This becomes this phoenix out of the ashes and an

448
00:22:24,000 --> 00:22:27,039
entirely new sound. This is not progressive. They're bringing the

449
00:22:27,079 --> 00:22:29,680
new wave with Trevor Horn in here, and they have

450
00:22:30,079 --> 00:22:33,799
an album that becomes their biggest selling album of their

451
00:22:34,000 --> 00:22:36,559
entire career. Trevor Rabin's the guy that came up with

452
00:22:36,640 --> 00:22:38,640
this song while he was sitting on the toilet of

453
00:22:38,759 --> 00:22:42,319
nineteen eighty all right, this was recorded in eighty three,

454
00:22:42,599 --> 00:22:45,480
and when they brought John Anderson in, he said most

455
00:22:45,480 --> 00:22:48,240
of the work had been done, but this song they

456
00:22:48,359 --> 00:22:52,240
really had some trouble with the verses sat down and

457
00:22:52,720 --> 00:22:56,880
John Anderson's contribution was the first two words of the

458
00:22:56,960 --> 00:22:58,400
song move yourself.

459
00:22:58,599 --> 00:23:01,480
Speaker 3: Well, you know the toilet is a very lonely place.

460
00:23:04,160 --> 00:23:05,160
Speaker 2: It is lonely.

461
00:23:05,279 --> 00:23:08,680
Speaker 3: Indeed, yes, this has to be Owner of a Lonely

462
00:23:08,720 --> 00:23:09,640
Heart by yes.

463
00:23:26,319 --> 00:23:31,559
Speaker 2: Another perfect song for the blend of kick but rock

464
00:23:31,599 --> 00:23:34,960
and guitar and new wave synth. And you've got these

465
00:23:34,960 --> 00:23:38,799
guys who are absolute musical geniuses putting this song together.

466
00:23:39,119 --> 00:23:41,680
And I got to say this, actually, I would put

467
00:23:41,920 --> 00:23:44,839
as a tie with another song from this album called

468
00:23:45,079 --> 00:23:47,599
leave It Okay any day of the week. Half of

469
00:23:47,640 --> 00:23:49,920
the time I'm gonna pick this Owner of a Lonely Heart.

470
00:23:49,960 --> 00:23:51,799
The other half I'm gonna pick leave It. We really

471
00:23:51,839 --> 00:23:52,920
should cover this whole album.

472
00:23:52,920 --> 00:23:54,880
Speaker 3: We should, We should. I know James Buckley's a big

473
00:23:54,880 --> 00:23:55,480
fan of this album.

474
00:23:55,519 --> 00:23:57,839
Speaker 2: Yeah, let's get time to get James on talk about this,

475
00:23:58,000 --> 00:23:58,839
talk about this album.

476
00:23:58,880 --> 00:23:59,960
Speaker 3: That would be fun.

477
00:24:00,119 --> 00:24:02,720
Speaker 2: We could maybe we could compare it to Supertramp. That's

478
00:24:02,880 --> 00:24:05,279
they are couple of bands that don't get the recognition

479
00:24:05,319 --> 00:24:07,920
that they deserve. It's a good idea Super Tramp seventy

480
00:24:08,000 --> 00:24:10,319
nine too. All right, Okay, get out the schedule. Let's

481
00:24:10,319 --> 00:24:14,599
see if we can piscil it in no right, all right, Okay,

482
00:24:14,680 --> 00:24:17,680
we to my number two to your number two. All right.

483
00:24:18,160 --> 00:24:20,559
Speaker 3: So at the front of this, I said nineteen eighty

484
00:24:20,559 --> 00:24:22,039
four is one of the best years of music, and

485
00:24:22,079 --> 00:24:24,359
I stand by that. Yeah, but I'm really spiking the

486
00:24:24,400 --> 00:24:26,920
football that nineteen eighty four is the best year in

487
00:24:27,079 --> 00:24:30,680
pop and I'm a pop guy, right, yeah you are? Okay,

488
00:24:30,920 --> 00:24:33,960
Now I learned I grew into rock, but at this

489
00:24:34,039 --> 00:24:36,960
time in my life, I'm Casey's Top forty. I'm pop

490
00:24:37,000 --> 00:24:39,640
all the way, right. So with my number two, I

491
00:24:39,720 --> 00:24:41,680
might lose some street cred on this one, but that's

492
00:24:41,720 --> 00:24:44,359
okay because I don't care. I'm freaking spiking the football.

493
00:24:44,359 --> 00:24:46,200
This is my one of my second this is my

494
00:24:46,240 --> 00:24:48,920
second favorite song. I'm nineteen eighty four. Okay, here's the trick.

495
00:24:48,960 --> 00:24:53,240
Though this song was released in June of nineteen eighty three. Okay,

496
00:24:53,440 --> 00:24:58,720
it didn't peak in America until September of nineteen eighty four, Okay,

497
00:24:59,279 --> 00:25:02,119
well over a year after the song had been released.

498
00:25:02,160 --> 00:25:04,759
All Right reached number nine in September of nineteen eighty four.

Speaker 2: As big of as an Ace of Bass fan as

503
00:25:14,359 --> 00:25:16,680
I know, right, I can't believe it now.

504
00:25:16,799 --> 00:25:18,480
Speaker 3: I'm glad that didn't totally give it away.

505
00:25:18,519 --> 00:25:22,000
Speaker 2: Right there sarcasm coming through right there. If you couldn't tell.

506
00:25:22,359 --> 00:25:24,799
Speaker 3: All right, now, listen, this song is featured in a

507
00:25:24,880 --> 00:25:28,160
movie that you and I have seen a thousand times. Okay, fact,

508
00:25:28,480 --> 00:25:31,480
we will cover it this year. Oh okay, all right,

509
00:25:31,839 --> 00:25:36,319
But it's also appeared in the movie Fraternity Vacation, Romey

512
00:25:43,119 --> 00:25:44,079
Speaker 2: Nope, alright.

513
00:25:44,160 --> 00:25:48,759
Speaker 3: This song is sung by three lovely British ladies Okay,

514
00:25:49,000 --> 00:25:51,039
known as Banana Rama.

515
00:25:51,440 --> 00:26:07,960
Speaker 2: Is this cruel summer? You don't have to apologize for this, Okay?

516
00:26:08,000 --> 00:26:10,799
You know, I know? This is a great song. This

517
00:26:10,880 --> 00:26:14,160
is an iconic eighty four song. You blast this song.

518
00:26:14,200 --> 00:26:15,880
I want to turn it up, put the top down.

519
00:26:16,279 --> 00:26:18,400
This is a great summer song.

520
00:26:18,279 --> 00:26:21,640
Speaker 3: Fantastic now. This is featured in the Karate Kid during

521
00:26:21,720 --> 00:26:27,400
the Ali and daniels Son playing soccer scene. Right, Yes, okay,

522
00:26:27,759 --> 00:26:30,799
and we're gonna cover Karate Kid hearing about a month

523
00:26:30,839 --> 00:26:33,759
or two somewhere in the early spring schedule. Yeah, boom,

524
00:26:34,440 --> 00:26:36,599
here's my kicker on this. I love this. Ok The

525
00:26:36,720 --> 00:26:40,720
video shows these three girls dancing around New York City

526
00:26:41,160 --> 00:26:43,279
and they're kind of interacting with people on the street,

527
00:26:43,319 --> 00:26:47,240
and it's real low budget eighties video. When you watch it, though,

528
00:26:47,480 --> 00:26:52,640
there are scenes where they're more enthusiastic than other scenes. Okay,

529
00:26:52,880 --> 00:26:55,319
and the singers, the girls in the band said that

530
00:26:55,440 --> 00:26:58,480
when we're more enthusiastic, you can tell that those shots

531
00:26:58,480 --> 00:27:03,160
were shot after lunch, because during lunch there was some

532
00:27:03,200 --> 00:27:05,799
construction workers nearby that came over and hung out with

533
00:27:05,839 --> 00:27:08,200
them and introduced them to cocaine.

534
00:27:08,359 --> 00:27:09,839
Speaker 2: Oh whoa.

535
00:27:10,039 --> 00:27:13,759
Speaker 3: So when you see them all fired up, Oh my god,

536
00:27:13,920 --> 00:27:15,960
it's because they had the white powder.

537
00:27:16,200 --> 00:27:21,480
Speaker 2: Oh my gosh. Yeah, hey, girls, saw you out there?

538
00:27:21,720 --> 00:27:23,440
How you doing it? Exhausted?

539
00:27:23,599 --> 00:27:23,759
Speaker 1: Oh?

540
00:27:23,799 --> 00:27:25,000
Speaker 2: We got just the thing. Yep.

541
00:27:27,279 --> 00:27:27,759
Speaker 3: That's it.

542
00:27:28,440 --> 00:27:31,160
Speaker 2: Okay. So that's your number two, yep. So before we

543
00:27:31,200 --> 00:27:34,559
get to number one, we have honorable mentions, and if

544
00:27:34,599 --> 00:27:36,599
you've got one that was a new discovery for you,

545
00:27:36,759 --> 00:27:39,400
I'm interested to hear what it is. Okay, Okay, all right,

546
00:27:39,480 --> 00:27:43,519
I will do my two honorable mentions real quick. All right, okay,

547
00:27:44,319 --> 00:27:47,680
all right, the first one, hang, I don't even want

548
00:27:47,720 --> 00:27:50,039
to make an I don't even call it an honorable

549
00:27:50,039 --> 00:27:52,359
mention because it's so good. All right, okay, all right,

550
00:27:52,400 --> 00:27:54,319
what you got? All right? This group has a name

551
00:27:54,319 --> 00:27:56,920
that sounds like one of the duop groups from the fifties,

552
00:27:57,000 --> 00:27:59,720
but they weren't formed until nineteen seventy seven. But they

553
00:27:59,839 --> 00:28:02,359
like that fifties group sound, and it's a fantastic name.

554
00:28:02,400 --> 00:28:06,559
I couldn't believe it was not taken by nineteen seventy seven. Okay, okay.

555
00:28:07,039 --> 00:28:10,759
Maybe their best known song was not a hit when

556
00:28:10,799 --> 00:28:14,160
it was released. It only got to forty nine, But today,

557
00:28:14,359 --> 00:28:17,000
like I could, I probably hear it weekly, like it's

558
00:28:17,079 --> 00:28:20,279
just it's always on the airwaves, right all right. It

559
00:28:20,359 --> 00:28:22,799
became big after a beer commercial.

560
00:28:22,960 --> 00:28:23,480
Speaker 3: Okay.

561
00:28:23,640 --> 00:28:26,440
Speaker 2: They had that one come out in nineteen eighty and

562
00:28:26,480 --> 00:28:29,759
then obviously this song comes out in nineteen eighty four.

563
00:28:29,799 --> 00:28:31,720
In between that time, the lead singer had taken some

564
00:28:31,799 --> 00:28:34,519
time off ultimately came back to start recording with the

565
00:28:34,559 --> 00:28:36,920
band again. And it's just like so many times that

566
00:28:36,920 --> 00:28:39,559
we've talked about before, they've got the whole album, they

567
00:28:39,599 --> 00:28:42,519
need one more song, right, and this one is just like, Okay,

568
00:28:42,599 --> 00:28:44,720
let's throw this one on at the end. So they

569
00:28:44,720 --> 00:28:47,319
finished recording it. There's a guy in there in the

570
00:28:47,640 --> 00:28:49,920
studio that they're in where I mean the studios had

571
00:28:50,039 --> 00:28:52,480
James Brown and several other big hits, you know, And

572
00:28:52,519 --> 00:28:54,799
there's a guy sweeping up, old guy, and he's like,

573
00:28:56,000 --> 00:28:58,559
I've been here a long time. I've heard lots of music.

574
00:28:59,119 --> 00:29:01,319
I always know twines are going to be the hits,

575
00:29:01,680 --> 00:29:04,559
and this song is going to be your big hit. Wow.

576
00:29:04,960 --> 00:29:07,480
Like the Douop groups when they first started playing together,

577
00:29:07,680 --> 00:29:10,440
they all wore the same color suit, but it was

578
00:29:10,720 --> 00:29:14,680
a red leather suit. Okay, so I'm gonna give you

579
00:29:14,680 --> 00:29:16,559
the name. Now, see if you can give me the song,

580
00:29:17,720 --> 00:29:23,160
mister music encyclopedia over there. The first song that I

581
00:29:23,200 --> 00:29:25,279
was talking about that they had is that was never

582
00:29:25,319 --> 00:29:28,200
a big hit until later on was called what I

583
00:29:28,319 --> 00:29:31,799
Like about You Oh yeah by the Romantics, and so

584
00:29:32,000 --> 00:29:35,880
the romantics nineteen eighty four hit was a song called.

585
00:29:36,039 --> 00:29:44,160
Speaker 3: Talking in Your Sleep You got it? Yes, oh yeah,

586
00:29:44,200 --> 00:29:47,720
fantastic man. I love the Romantics. Now is the drummer

587
00:29:47,880 --> 00:29:50,480
the singer on this one as well? So the drummer

588
00:29:50,559 --> 00:29:52,920
was the singer on What I Like About You?

589
00:29:53,000 --> 00:29:54,519
Speaker 2: Right? No, not on this one? Okay?

590
00:29:54,599 --> 00:29:56,119
Speaker 3: Okay, great, honorable mintion.

591
00:29:56,319 --> 00:29:59,599
Speaker 2: Okay, what else you got? All right? This band formed

592
00:29:59,599 --> 00:30:03,599
a nineteen seventy seven. They got their name from the

593
00:30:03,599 --> 00:30:08,839
comic book ten ten. Okay, there are two detectives in

594
00:30:08,880 --> 00:30:11,000
the comic book ten ten, and that's where they got

595
00:30:11,000 --> 00:30:16,119
their name. The song spawned from a fight between two

596
00:30:16,200 --> 00:30:20,079
of the band members. They were also actually lovers since

597
00:30:20,200 --> 00:30:23,559
nineteen eighty In addition to working together touring together, they

598
00:30:23,599 --> 00:30:26,440
would get separate hotel rooms so they could maintain their

599
00:30:26,480 --> 00:30:29,599
personal space. They have this big fight. After they make

600
00:30:29,680 --> 00:30:32,359
up from this big fight, they say, nobody really sets

601
00:30:32,359 --> 00:30:34,160
out to write these kind of songs, but this is

602
00:30:34,240 --> 00:30:36,519
really inspirational stuff. Let's write this down.

603
00:30:36,720 --> 00:30:37,920
Speaker 3: Just do you really want to hurt me?

604
00:30:38,440 --> 00:30:38,599
Speaker 1: No?

605
00:30:38,880 --> 00:30:41,359
Speaker 3: Okay?

606
00:30:42,079 --> 00:30:46,279
Speaker 2: The two band members are male and female. Okay, okay, okay,

607
00:30:46,920 --> 00:30:49,480
and there were pretty much when we saw him in

608
00:30:49,480 --> 00:30:52,680
the eighties, there were three band members, even though the

609
00:30:52,799 --> 00:30:55,680
name of the band would imply only two.

610
00:30:56,160 --> 00:31:01,640
Speaker 3: The Thompson Twins. Okay, is this doctor, doctor, this has

611
00:31:01,720 --> 00:31:02,519
lay your Hands on Me?

612
00:31:04,000 --> 00:31:06,039
Speaker 2: This is this is their biggest hit. How are you

613
00:31:06,079 --> 00:31:08,480
guessing songs that are minor hits when I'm giving you

614
00:31:08,519 --> 00:31:11,680
their most well known song. It's about a fight?

615
00:31:11,880 --> 00:31:15,240
Speaker 3: Hey, they hang on ha hah. This has hold me?

616
00:31:15,319 --> 00:31:18,000
Speaker 2: Now there you had a boy?

617
00:31:22,000 --> 00:31:22,200
Speaker 1: Yeah.

618
00:31:22,240 --> 00:31:23,480
Speaker 3: I struggled with that one a little bit.

619
00:31:24,880 --> 00:31:28,680
Speaker 2: Okay, And then I will just tell you. The song

620
00:31:28,759 --> 00:31:31,000
that I was a kind of a new rediscovery for

621
00:31:31,200 --> 00:31:34,559
me is a song ball by Alphaville. Do you know

622
00:31:34,640 --> 00:31:43,440
this songs called Forever Young? Yeah? I like that song.

623
00:31:44,000 --> 00:31:47,119
Speaker 3: I wouldn't have thought of it, but that's that's a

624
00:31:47,119 --> 00:31:47,519
great song.

625
00:31:47,559 --> 00:31:49,200
Speaker 2: I like it. I mean I didn't really I did.

626
00:31:49,279 --> 00:31:51,319
I wasn't super familiar with this song, but I came

627
00:31:51,359 --> 00:31:53,599
across it in my research and then I was like, oh,

628
00:31:54,079 --> 00:31:58,400
this sounds like the love scene in some John Hughes movie.

629
00:31:58,079 --> 00:32:00,640
Speaker 3: For sure, no doubt, no doubt. Yeah you nailed it

630
00:32:00,720 --> 00:32:00,960
right there.

631
00:32:01,039 --> 00:32:02,680
Speaker 2: Yeah it could have been I need to go look

632
00:32:02,680 --> 00:32:05,839
that up. I guess definitely could have been. All right, Jason,

633
00:32:05,839 --> 00:32:07,119
tell me your honorable mentions.

634
00:32:07,200 --> 00:32:10,519
Speaker 3: Okay, I'm packed full of information even on my honorable mentions.

635
00:32:10,880 --> 00:32:12,799
I'm gonna lead you down the trail here. Okay, yeah,

636
00:32:13,559 --> 00:32:16,960
all right. So technically this song was released in nineteen

637
00:32:17,000 --> 00:32:20,240
eighty four, probably fits better in nineteen eighty five, but

638
00:32:20,279 --> 00:32:21,920
it was released in nineteen eighty four, so I want

639
00:32:21,920 --> 00:32:25,559
to talk about it, Okay. Now, then the title comes

640
00:32:25,559 --> 00:32:28,440
from a nineteen seventy two baseball book.

641
00:32:29,519 --> 00:32:30,480
Speaker 2: Okay, okay.

642
00:32:31,240 --> 00:32:34,759
Speaker 3: Now, the song is about an earlier, better time in

643
00:32:34,799 --> 00:32:38,359
a relationship where the singer wants to return to those

644
00:32:38,440 --> 00:32:43,119
times with his ex. This guy's famous rockstar been with

645
00:32:43,160 --> 00:32:45,359
a lot of women, but one of the ones that

646
00:32:45,400 --> 00:32:48,359
I came across that he actually dated that could be

647
00:32:48,480 --> 00:32:51,799
the girl is Lois Childs. Does that ring a bell

648
00:32:51,839 --> 00:32:55,839
with you? No? Have you seen the movie Moonraker? Yes,

649
00:32:56,000 --> 00:32:57,720
Doctor Goodhead? The Bond Girl?

650
00:32:57,839 --> 00:33:03,119
Speaker 2: Okay, okay, well her in the early eighties. Okay, Okay,

651
00:33:03,279 --> 00:33:05,640
this Rod Stewart, he had a lot of Nope, no, okay,

652
00:33:05,680 --> 00:33:09,279
this is not Rod Shirt. All right, Okay, yeah, Now then.

653
00:33:08,759 --> 00:33:10,599
Speaker 3: I'm gonna keep leading you down this one video of

654
00:33:10,640 --> 00:33:13,119
the year nineteen eighty five. Okay, there's a little boy

655
00:33:13,160 --> 00:33:17,200
playing drums in this video. Okay, the little boy actually

656
00:33:17,240 --> 00:33:20,319
goes on to become a famous rock star himself. He's

657
00:33:20,400 --> 00:33:24,000
seven years old in the video. Okay, okay, okay. His

00:33:24,079 --> 00:33:26,599

660
00:33:31,440 --> 00:33:32,440
he's just playing drums.

661
00:33:32,559 --> 00:33:33,759
Speaker 2: This is gonna give it away, I think.

662
00:33:33,960 --> 00:33:37,079
Speaker 3: Okay, Okay, the lead singer or the singer from this

663
00:33:37,200 --> 00:33:39,279
song this is a solo effort. He was in a

664
00:33:39,279 --> 00:33:41,839
world famous rock band, one of the biggest and best

665
00:33:41,960 --> 00:33:44,119
rock bands of all time. He was driving around one

666
00:33:44,200 --> 00:33:47,240
day and he really did see a deadhead sticker on

667
00:33:47,359 --> 00:33:47,920
a Cadillac.

668
00:33:48,200 --> 00:33:48,519
Speaker 1: Ah.

669
00:33:48,559 --> 00:33:52,000
Speaker 2: Okay, so this is Don Henley Boys of Summer YEP.

670
00:33:52,240 --> 00:33:54,400
I freaking love this song, and I love the atari's

671
00:33:54,480 --> 00:33:58,000
version of the song as much, if not more. But that, yes,

672
00:33:58,279 --> 00:33:59,480
that fantastic choice.

673
00:33:59,519 --> 00:34:02,799
Speaker 3: Boys of the title they get from a book about

674
00:34:02,799 --> 00:34:06,359
when the Brooklyn Dodgers moved to la which we discussed

675
00:34:06,799 --> 00:34:08,400
daring are we didn't start the fire.

676
00:34:08,519 --> 00:34:10,599
Speaker 2: California Baseball California Baseball.

677
00:34:10,880 --> 00:34:13,000
Speaker 3: There you go all right. So that's one of my

678
00:34:13,039 --> 00:34:16,400
honorable mentions. The other one, I'll eat my shoes. If

679
00:34:16,440 --> 00:34:17,719
you are familiar with.

680
00:34:17,599 --> 00:34:19,440
Speaker 2: This one, okay, if I'm familiar with it, you think

681
00:34:19,440 --> 00:34:19,719
I'm not.

682
00:34:20,079 --> 00:34:22,199
Speaker 3: I think you've probably heard it, but I don't think

683
00:34:22,239 --> 00:34:26,239
it's probably on your radar, okay, Okay. So this is

684
00:34:26,280 --> 00:34:29,760
the first single from a woman who uses only her

685
00:34:29,760 --> 00:34:33,440
first name, so like Tiffany or Madonna, you know, or

686
00:34:34,840 --> 00:34:37,840
or shut A something like that. This reached number eight

687
00:34:37,920 --> 00:34:39,800
on the Hot one hundred. So this is no slack

688
00:34:40,039 --> 00:34:40,800
slack off hit.

689
00:34:40,920 --> 00:34:41,280
Speaker 2: Okay.

690
00:34:41,480 --> 00:34:44,280
Speaker 3: It was featured at the end of a movie that

691
00:34:44,360 --> 00:34:47,000
I really liked as a young teenager.

692
00:34:47,440 --> 00:34:48,119
Speaker 2: Okay, okay.

693
00:34:48,519 --> 00:34:51,480
Speaker 3: The movie is called Breaking All the Rules, which I

694
00:34:51,559 --> 00:34:54,920
watched in preparation for this because I was like, you know,

695
00:34:55,000 --> 00:34:57,400
it's kind of a teenage sex comedy that I really liked.

696
00:34:57,800 --> 00:35:01,119
Thought it was kind of aspirational for relationships, you know,

697
00:35:01,239 --> 00:35:04,360
kind of chasing hot girls around an amusement park type

698
00:35:04,360 --> 00:35:08,519
of thing. I watched it and it was horrible. It's

699
00:35:08,639 --> 00:35:13,079
such a letdown, a terrible movie. But anyway, the closing

700
00:35:13,079 --> 00:35:15,440
credits are to this song, which kind of drove it

701
00:35:15,480 --> 00:35:18,760
home for me. At the time is Sheila. It is

702
00:35:18,800 --> 00:35:22,599
not Sheila, although Sheila was considered Okay, it's considered a

703
00:35:22,599 --> 00:35:26,519
big crossover hit and influential in hip hop and freestyle.

704
00:35:26,559 --> 00:35:28,199
Although I don't really hear it just sounds like a

705
00:35:28,199 --> 00:35:29,719
pop song. I'm gonna play it for you, see what

706
00:35:29,719 --> 00:35:30,119
you get it?

707
00:35:30,239 --> 00:35:42,199
Speaker 2: Okay. The song is immediately familiar.

708
00:35:42,320 --> 00:35:42,679
Speaker 3: Okay.

709
00:35:43,119 --> 00:35:44,800
Speaker 2: I don't know the title and I don't know the artist,

710
00:35:44,880 --> 00:35:46,280
but the song is immediately familiar.

711
00:35:46,280 --> 00:35:49,360
Speaker 3: All right. So the artist is called Shannon and the

712
00:35:49,400 --> 00:35:54,639
song is called let the Music Play. That's it's a

713
00:35:54,639 --> 00:35:56,199
good one. It's one that I had on a.

714
00:35:56,239 --> 00:35:59,840
Speaker 2: Mixtape, figuring out the broad clasp exactly.

715
00:36:01,239 --> 00:36:03,480
Speaker 3: So there you go. There's an honorable mention pop hit

716
00:36:03,599 --> 00:36:04,320
nineteen eighty four.

717
00:36:04,360 --> 00:36:06,360
Speaker 2: All Right, have you got a rediscovery?

718
00:36:07,079 --> 00:36:10,239
Speaker 3: So yeah, I do have some rediscoveries, okay, and but

719
00:36:10,280 --> 00:36:13,199
they're all mainstream hits. But it's like I didn't realize

720
00:36:13,239 --> 00:36:14,800
how great they were and still until.

721
00:36:14,960 --> 00:36:16,719
Speaker 2: You're just you're going to use this as an excuse

722
00:36:16,719 --> 00:36:17,360
to rattle off one.

723
00:36:17,320 --> 00:36:19,039
Speaker 3: Hundred no no to put on there no, no no.

724
00:36:19,840 --> 00:36:20,559
Speaker 2: I'll give you two.

725
00:36:20,679 --> 00:36:24,320
Speaker 3: Okay, two that I was immenseally familiar with. But when

726
00:36:24,360 --> 00:36:25,960
I re listened to them, I was like, dang, these

727
00:36:25,960 --> 00:36:28,360
are good, like better than I even thought they were.

728
00:36:28,480 --> 00:36:31,199
One of them is Caribbean Queen by Billy Oshan. Oh my,

729
00:36:32,039 --> 00:36:33,440
I just love that song.

730
00:36:33,519 --> 00:36:34,960
Speaker 2: That song. I know he's a crap out of me.

731
00:36:35,079 --> 00:36:38,599
Speaker 3: Oh you're crazy, It's just I love it, even if

732
00:36:38,719 --> 00:36:41,880
they have like the sound effects where the tiger like

733
00:36:42,320 --> 00:36:46,159
rah in the background. So I love that song. And

734
00:36:46,199 --> 00:36:48,920
then there's a song by Dan Hartman from the movie

735
00:36:48,960 --> 00:36:51,400
Streets of Fire called I Can Dream About You.

736
00:36:52,880 --> 00:36:54,920
Speaker 2: Yep, I know that one too, and it's also an

737
00:36:54,920 --> 00:36:56,719
annoying song for me.

738
00:36:57,079 --> 00:37:01,559
Speaker 3: Sorry, that's fine. Those are my rediscoveries. I love those songs.

739
00:37:01,639 --> 00:37:11,000
Speaker 2: Nice. That's good. So we are onto our number one one, okay.

740
00:37:11,199 --> 00:37:15,920
So this is an iconic band that you just don't

741
00:37:15,920 --> 00:37:19,199
hear people talk about. I couldn't. I mean, I came

742
00:37:19,239 --> 00:37:21,400
across this song, I'm like, oh yeah, and I'm like,

743
00:37:21,440 --> 00:37:22,719
what else did they do? And then I looked at

744
00:37:22,719 --> 00:37:24,519
it and I'm like, holy crap. They've got a ton

745
00:37:24,599 --> 00:37:28,199
of fantastic stuff, right, But you just don't hear people

746
00:37:28,239 --> 00:37:30,760
talk about this band for some reason. I don't get it.

747
00:37:30,840 --> 00:37:34,039
This song title of the song, chorus of The song

748
00:37:34,599 --> 00:37:39,440
is based on a misunderstanding. So the drummer who was

749
00:37:39,599 --> 00:37:41,760
he'd been a singer and other bands and stuff. You know,

750
00:37:42,519 --> 00:37:44,559
he's not the singer for this band, but he would

751
00:37:44,559 --> 00:37:48,480
occasionally sing songs. Right, He writes this song to his

752
00:37:48,639 --> 00:37:51,679
little sister because he's a little worried about what she's doing.

753
00:37:51,719 --> 00:37:54,679
And she's like, these boys have other things on their mind, right,

754
00:37:54,760 --> 00:38:00,159
you know, right right, And his sister's name was Christy. Well, well,

755
00:38:00,280 --> 00:38:03,320
they play the song and they're listening to the song

756
00:38:03,719 --> 00:38:07,960
and the lead singer, Jack Blades, is like, I love this,

757
00:38:08,079 --> 00:38:10,880
and then he looks at the lyrics that the drummer

758
00:38:10,920 --> 00:38:15,079
is written down. He's like, Christy, you said Christy.

759
00:38:15,440 --> 00:38:15,800
Speaker 3: Yeah.

760
00:38:15,920 --> 00:38:21,880
Speaker 2: He's like, yeah, uh I heard Christian. And he's like,

761
00:38:21,920 --> 00:38:24,760
but that's not her name, and he goes artistic license, dude,

762
00:38:24,960 --> 00:38:28,199
Christian is the word that fits here, right if you

763
00:38:28,360 --> 00:38:29,039
haven't guessed it.

764
00:38:29,159 --> 00:38:33,800
Speaker 3: Yes, So this song is Sister Christian by Night Rager.

765
00:38:34,760 --> 00:38:38,840
Speaker 2: Sister Christian all the Time has come.

766
00:38:40,519 --> 00:38:41,880
Speaker 1: And you know that.

767
00:38:43,239 --> 00:38:51,320
Speaker 3: The world to say, Okay, I heard his sister say

768
00:38:51,400 --> 00:38:53,519
that this song was so popular that she was like,

769
00:38:53,599 --> 00:38:57,599
do I need to change my name? Like people are

770
00:38:57,639 --> 00:39:00,960
like this song is written about you. What's your name, Christy.

771
00:39:02,840 --> 00:39:03,079
Speaker 2: Dang?

772
00:39:03,119 --> 00:39:04,079
Speaker 3: I need to change my name.

773
00:39:04,320 --> 00:39:07,400
Speaker 2: Yeah, this and Night Ranger is made up of some

774
00:39:07,599 --> 00:39:10,440
all stars, I mean from other bands even did you

775
00:39:10,519 --> 00:39:14,639
know they were touring with Ozzy whenever Randy Rhodes died

776
00:39:15,239 --> 00:39:18,320
and the guitarist from Night Ranger came in and subbed

777
00:39:18,880 --> 00:39:21,519
until you know, whenever they got Zach Wild or whatever

778
00:39:21,559 --> 00:39:24,639
it is. I guess it's just this song though. Oh

779
00:39:24,679 --> 00:39:27,880
my gosh, this is Baker Street good man. I mean

780
00:39:27,960 --> 00:39:32,239
the bill, the soft piano this and then the the

781
00:39:32,320 --> 00:39:37,199
drums with the bill, Oh my gosh, so good. And

782
00:39:37,400 --> 00:39:41,880
here's the thing. They recorded the song over one hundred times.

783
00:39:42,159 --> 00:39:45,760
Kelly Kegy, the drummer who's singing Yeah, is so pissed

784
00:39:45,800 --> 00:39:48,800
off at having to do the song over again. So

785
00:39:48,880 --> 00:39:52,360
the engineer says, Okay, guys, do it again after over

786
00:39:52,440 --> 00:39:55,119
one hundred takes, and Kelly Kegy, the guy who's singing,

787
00:39:55,159 --> 00:39:58,000
the guy who's playing the drums, is so pissed off

788
00:39:58,440 --> 00:40:00,760
that when it gets to the end of the song, he,

789
00:40:00,960 --> 00:40:03,800
instead of playing the drums, just chucks his drumsticks as

790
00:40:03,800 --> 00:40:06,960
hard as he can across the room and just belts it.

791
00:40:07,000 --> 00:40:10,639
Out and then the engineer is like, okay, come in here,

792
00:40:11,480 --> 00:40:13,519
and they all go in and he's like, okay, we're done.

793
00:40:13,599 --> 00:40:17,039
And it's not because he's pissed off. It's because that take,

794
00:40:17,320 --> 00:40:21,719
that angry, drumless take, was the take that was perfect,

795
00:40:21,960 --> 00:40:25,039
and that's the one that we know today. Wow.

796
00:40:25,159 --> 00:40:28,239
Speaker 3: Okay, we've talked for five minutes about this song and

797
00:40:28,280 --> 00:40:30,440
you haven't mentioned Boogie Knights yet.

798
00:40:30,320 --> 00:40:32,920
Speaker 2: So it was on my list of things to mention. Yeah,

799
00:40:33,000 --> 00:40:36,960
So this song made it back into world awareness in

800
00:40:37,000 --> 00:40:40,960
the mid nineties whenever Boogie Knights was released because it

801
00:40:41,039 --> 00:40:44,519
is the most intense scene in the movie. It's Alfred

802
00:40:44,559 --> 00:40:47,719
Modina dot coc Yeah as a drug dealer right right,

803
00:40:48,000 --> 00:40:50,920
and there's this little Chinese kid walking around throwing the

804
00:40:52,079 --> 00:40:56,239
throwing these little firework poppers, and these guys are there

805
00:40:56,280 --> 00:40:59,239
to try to rob him. So you get this intense scene. Well,

806
00:40:59,280 --> 00:41:01,719
I heard Blades talk about it and he says, yeah,

807
00:41:01,719 --> 00:41:03,920
we're watching the movie. We see this scene where our

808
00:41:04,000 --> 00:41:06,760
song is and all of a sudden, I look over

809
00:41:07,360 --> 00:41:10,320
and we're both sweating bullets. And we talked afterwards, were like,

810
00:41:10,360 --> 00:41:12,039
I feel like we've been to that guy's house. I

811
00:41:12,039 --> 00:41:14,159
feel like, we've been in that scene before. I know

812
00:41:14,280 --> 00:41:18,599
that guy in North Hollywood. We've bought drugs from him before. Wow.

813
00:41:18,920 --> 00:41:22,079
Speaker 3: Yeah, I saw Jack Blades seeing for Damn Yankees in

814
00:41:22,119 --> 00:41:25,280
the nineties. So he goes on to build a band

815
00:41:25,280 --> 00:41:27,760
with Tommy Shawn and Ted Nugent and they put out

816
00:41:27,800 --> 00:41:28,639
a great album as well.

817
00:41:28,719 --> 00:41:31,679
Speaker 2: Interesting Comba. We we covered that one of their songs

818
00:41:31,719 --> 00:41:33,440
actually in my band in high school.

819
00:41:33,440 --> 00:41:34,320
Speaker 3: I love Damn Yankees.

820
00:41:34,360 --> 00:41:34,840
Speaker 2: Man. Yeah.

821
00:41:34,880 --> 00:41:37,159
Speaker 3: By the way, this reached number five on the Hot

822
00:41:37,159 --> 00:41:39,840
one hundred, and I mentioned that they got that call

823
00:41:39,880 --> 00:41:42,039
from their manager said the record company is out of business.

824
00:41:42,079 --> 00:41:43,400
You guys have got to get back in the studio

825
00:41:43,400 --> 00:41:46,239
and put out an album. They had Sister Christian already

826
00:41:46,239 --> 00:41:47,199
written and ready to go.

827
00:41:47,519 --> 00:41:50,480
Speaker 2: Nice. Okay, Jason, I've done my number one. It's time

828
00:41:50,519 --> 00:41:51,920
for you, my friend. Okay.

829
00:41:52,559 --> 00:41:56,440
Speaker 3: So my number one hits number one April twenty first,

830
00:41:56,559 --> 00:42:00,559
nineteen eighty four. It knocked out Footloose by Kenny Loggins. Now, then,

831
00:42:00,880 --> 00:42:04,639
this is the first of seven number one hits from

832
00:42:04,639 --> 00:42:07,119
this artist in the nineteen eighties. Okay, this is the

833
00:42:07,119 --> 00:42:10,039
first one, originally titled how Can You Just Sit There?

834
00:42:10,360 --> 00:42:13,599
Taylor Hackford is making a movie with Jeff Bridges and

835
00:42:13,719 --> 00:42:16,760
Rachel Ward Okay, and he wants to include it in

836
00:42:16,800 --> 00:42:18,920
his movie, so he calls up this guy and says,

837
00:42:19,760 --> 00:42:22,360
do you have anything that you could give us for

838
00:42:22,400 --> 00:42:25,960
this movie? Well, it turns out that he had written

839
00:42:25,960 --> 00:42:29,039
this song for his previous album, but he didn't think

840
00:42:29,039 --> 00:42:32,000
it was good enough to include, so he reworked it

841
00:42:32,119 --> 00:42:34,920
with the movie's title, and it goes on to become

842
00:42:35,039 --> 00:42:36,280
a mega hit.

843
00:42:36,639 --> 00:42:39,480
Speaker 2: I know what this song is, okay because this movie

844
00:42:39,519 --> 00:42:41,599
is based on another movie from the nineteen fifties.

845
00:42:41,639 --> 00:42:43,280
Speaker 3: Correct it is, You're right.

846
00:42:44,159 --> 00:42:49,000
Speaker 2: I can't believe pick this song is number one? What

847
00:42:50,280 --> 00:42:54,719
you are a pop fan and this comes very clear

848
00:42:55,039 --> 00:42:58,199
when you pick as your number one song from nineteen

849
00:42:58,199 --> 00:43:02,280
eighty four of all people, Phil Collins Against all.

850
00:43:04,239 --> 00:43:07,119
Speaker 3: I love Phil Collins, everybody love Phil Collins.

851
00:43:07,119 --> 00:43:09,679
Speaker 2: I love Phil Collins. I love this song. I can't

852
00:43:09,679 --> 00:43:10,360
believe you put.

853
00:43:10,239 --> 00:43:13,360
Speaker 3: It number one, but I still a favorite man. When

854
00:43:13,400 --> 00:43:16,880
he gets going on his vocals and he leans on

855
00:43:16,920 --> 00:43:20,079
it and he's screaming out against all odds, I love it.

856
00:43:35,039 --> 00:43:36,920
I love this quote for Phil Collins. By the way,

857
00:43:37,199 --> 00:43:40,079
this is his first of seven number one. He goes

858
00:43:40,119 --> 00:43:41,559
on a Rampage.

859
00:43:41,840 --> 00:43:43,960
Speaker 2: The Invisible Touch comes out this year, right.

860
00:43:43,880 --> 00:43:46,320
Speaker 3: Well, in Visible Touch is eighty six, but that's Genesis.

861
00:43:46,880 --> 00:43:49,119
But even still they get number one hits for Genesis.

862
00:43:50,039 --> 00:43:52,199
So the song is written about his divorce, his wife

863
00:43:52,239 --> 00:43:54,280
and his kids. And we're actually going to talk about

864
00:43:54,280 --> 00:43:56,840
another song on the Miami Vice soundtrack coming up here

865
00:43:56,880 --> 00:43:58,960
in a couple of weeks. But when asked about this

866
00:43:59,039 --> 00:44:01,360
movie against All Odds, which my wife and I joke

867
00:44:01,440 --> 00:44:04,639
that it's the best song for a crappy movie, he said, quote,

868
00:44:04,840 --> 00:44:06,480
the first thing that comes to my mind is the

869
00:44:06,519 --> 00:44:10,079
size of Rachel Wards West is the size of Rachel

870
00:44:10,119 --> 00:44:14,480
Ward's breasts. Oh and I like Jeff Bridges too.

871
00:44:14,840 --> 00:44:19,599
Speaker 2: Oh that's fantastic, fantastic. Yeah. From Here to Eternity was

872
00:44:19,639 --> 00:44:23,320
the original movie, Burt Lancaster, Is that right? Yeah? Wow?

873
00:44:23,800 --> 00:44:26,960
Same exactly like same poster right with them making love.

874
00:44:26,800 --> 00:44:28,960
Speaker 3: On the beach, right it is. This won the Grammy

875
00:44:29,000 --> 00:44:32,559
for Best Male Pop Vocal Performance, nominated for an Academy Award,

876
00:44:32,679 --> 00:44:34,679
but he couldn't perform it at the Academy Awards. He

877
00:44:34,719 --> 00:44:36,440
had to watch some dancer lip sync it.

878
00:44:40,280 --> 00:44:43,960
Speaker 2: That's really weird. Yeah, that's really really weird. Ladies and gentlemen,

879
00:44:44,000 --> 00:44:46,920
you have heard my top five. You've heard Jason's top five.

880
00:44:47,320 --> 00:44:49,519
I really, I'm I would really like to know from

881
00:44:49,559 --> 00:44:52,079
our fans, but we need to pull this one. We

882
00:44:52,119 --> 00:44:53,679
need to put the Patreon poll out.

883
00:44:53,719 --> 00:44:54,840
Speaker 3: Are you saying your top five is better?

884
00:44:54,880 --> 00:44:56,719
Speaker 2: In my thought, I am saying that my number one

885
00:44:56,800 --> 00:44:59,039
is better than your number one?

886
00:45:00,000 --> 00:45:00,800
Speaker 3: I love Phil Collins.

887
00:45:00,960 --> 00:45:03,000
Speaker 2: Uh yeah, well that's okay, that's all right.

888
00:45:03,079 --> 00:45:06,840
Speaker 3: Where are my Phil Collins defenders right calling you out?

889
00:45:06,920 --> 00:45:09,840
Speaker 2: Come on out, boys and girls. Okay, So we did

890
00:45:09,880 --> 00:45:13,239
this without using any of the albums that we've covered previously,

891
00:45:13,320 --> 00:45:15,480
without also using the ones that we have on the

892
00:45:15,480 --> 00:45:18,239
schedule for this year. That's right, eliminated a few in

893
00:45:18,280 --> 00:45:19,760
and of itself. I don't want to give you too

894
00:45:19,800 --> 00:45:22,599
much there, but we would probably have an entirely different

895
00:45:22,639 --> 00:45:25,440
list if we were able to pick from those albums

896
00:45:25,480 --> 00:45:27,920
that were big in nineteen eighty four. Right, we'll go

897
00:45:27,960 --> 00:45:29,639
back and forth. I'll say my number five, you say

898
00:45:29,639 --> 00:45:32,880
