missing. 92 00:03:45.199 --> 00:03:45.319 Really? 93 00:03:45.340 --> 00:03:45.460 Really. 94 00:03:45.860 --> 00:03:47.520 I think they all have meat in them. 95 00:03:47.599 --> 00:03:48.599 Yeah, pretty much. 96 00:03:49.219 --> 00:03:53.969 So that would eliminate Brian and I. 97 00:03:54.370 --> 00:03:57.509 Yeah, unless you eat the breakfast pockets that only have 98 00:03:57.969 --> 00:03:58.810 egg in them. 99 00:03:59.590 --> 00:04:01.759 I don't really feel like there's a hole missing in 100 00:04:01.800 --> 00:04:03.060 my life from not having one. 101 00:04:03.240 --> 00:04:05.659 Yeah, no, I don't miss them either. 102 00:04:05.680 --> 00:04:07.180 I think I'll get through the rest of the day 103 00:04:07.219 --> 00:04:10.870 without a problem. We'll take it from there. All right. 104 00:04:11.550 --> 00:04:13.870 I don't remember which crambone came up with this topic, 105 00:04:13.909 --> 00:04:17.170 to be honest with you. Mercedes did. Mercedes did, so 106 00:04:17.189 --> 00:04:20.250 credit where credit is due. Of course, the next question is, 107 00:04:20.889 --> 00:04:23.810 why cheating? Is there something that you want to share 108 00:04:23.829 --> 00:04:24.149 with us? 109 00:04:26.629 --> 00:04:27.050 No. 110 00:04:27.370 --> 00:04:27.709 No. 111 00:04:27.870 --> 00:04:28.449 Okay. 112 00:04:29.629 --> 00:04:32.350 Uncharacteristically quiet. 113 00:04:34.089 --> 00:04:35.769 That was an awkward silence there. 114 00:04:35.870 --> 00:04:40.189 It just seems like such a common topic that. 115 00:04:41.310 --> 00:04:43.670 That we haven't done it in 10 years, so now 116 00:04:43.689 --> 00:04:45.649 we have to do it, right? That's how common it is. 117 00:04:46.009 --> 00:04:46.529 Exactly. 118 00:04:46.550 --> 00:04:47.750 All right. 119 00:04:47.769 --> 00:04:50.629 I think we should revisit it every year, but, you know. 120 00:04:51.569 --> 00:04:54.370 Well, then that means there's a story behind it, and 121 00:04:54.389 --> 00:04:58.430 we have to know what that is. So I'm fine revisiting, 122 00:04:58.470 --> 00:05:02.910 but makes you wonder. But I won't put you on 123 00:05:02.930 --> 00:05:04.829 the spot right now, but you are going to need 124 00:05:04.870 --> 00:05:05.329 a song. 125 00:05:05.350 --> 00:05:06.089 About me? 126 00:05:06.129 --> 00:05:06.329 Me? 127 00:05:06.350 --> 00:05:06.829 Cheat? 128 00:05:09.850 --> 00:05:10.009 No. 129 00:05:10.490 --> 00:05:10.730 Okay. 130 00:05:10.750 --> 00:05:11.750 No. No. 131 00:05:12.209 --> 00:05:12.470 Okay. 132 00:05:12.689 --> 00:05:16.449 It's just like every song that you hear, somebody's cheating it. 133 00:05:17.110 --> 00:05:20.790 Well, that's kind of true. Can't really argue with that. 134 00:05:21.189 --> 00:05:26.589 Every TV show, somebody's got to cheat. Every movie, somebody's cheating. 135 00:05:27.670 --> 00:05:31.870 Where would soap operas be without the cheaters? 136 00:05:32.410 --> 00:05:33.649 The cheaters and the twins. 137 00:05:33.670 -->

00:05:36.829 There's like a whole TV show called Cheaters. There's like 138 00:05:36.870 --> 00:05:38.029 an entire show. 139 00:05:38.769 --> 00:05:39.069 Yeah. 140 00:05:40.389 --> 00:05:42.949 Okay. I knew a guy, he was an actor on 141 00:05:43.009 --> 00:05:45.490 a soap opera, and he was like the cad in 142 00:05:45.509 --> 00:05:50.490 his character. And one time he was in the supermarket 143 00:05:50.529 --> 00:05:54.470 on the checkout line, and some woman behind him recognized 144 00:05:54.529 --> 00:05:57.300 him and said, oh, I love your show, and then 145 00:05:57.360 --> 00:06:00.100 holed off and slapped him in the face. And that's 146 00:06:00.120 --> 00:06:01.959 what you did to Naomi. 147 00:06:02.220 --> 00:06:04.259 Oh, my God. Oh, man. 148 00:06:04.879 --> 00:06:06.379 Dun, dun, dun. 149 00:06:06.699 --> 00:06:08.100 He was like, what? What? 150 00:06:09.100 --> 00:06:12.129 A little trouble separating reality there, huh? 151 00:06:12.269 --> 00:06:12.629 Yeah. 152 00:06:12.910 --> 00:06:15.370 That's mean. 153 00:06:15.629 --> 00:06:15.970 Yeah. 154 00:06:16.269 --> 00:06:16.589 All right. 155 00:06:16.670 --> 00:06:21.790 Well, I hope he recovered. But meanwhile, Mercedes, coincidentally, you're 156 00:06:21.810 --> 00:06:23.699 going to lead us off and it's your topic. So 157 00:06:23.720 --> 00:06:24.620 why don't you take it away? 158 00:06:25.259 --> 00:06:26.160 I can't wait. 159 00:06:26.180 --> 00:06:26.759 All right. 160 00:06:27.420 --> 00:06:30.339 So as I said, I had way too many songs 161 00:06:30.379 --> 00:06:34.120 for this topic, which, as I also said, actually makes 162 00:06:34.189 --> 00:06:39.839 sense because it's a very popular theme. Why is that? Hmm, 163 00:06:40.319 --> 00:06:45.180 what is wrong with people? I don't know. I wanted 164 00:06:45.199 --> 00:06:50.220 to do Say My Name by Destiny's Child slash Beyonce 165 00:06:50.279 --> 00:06:52.920 because I love the concept. And if we revisit the 166 00:06:52.959 --> 00:06:58.050 topic next year, I probably will. I also wanted to 167 00:06:58.110 --> 00:07:00.350 do Bust the Windows, a song that I know from 168 00:07:00.370 --> 00:07:04.250 the TV show Glee, and it was originally recorded by 169 00:07:04.329 --> 00:07:07.790 Jasmine Sullivan. And I love it because it's a revenge 170 00:07:07.850 --> 00:07:10.560 song rather than being a victim of being cheated on. 171 00:07:10.620 --> 00:07:11.839 It's so good. 172 00:07:12.259 --> 00:07:13.120 Now that's a topic. 173 00:07:13.639 --> 00:07:13.860 Yeah. 174 00:07:14.379 --> 00:07:14.750 Yeah. 175 00:07:15.750 --> 00:07:17.949 Then I thought, give me three steps, but it's been 176 00:07:17.990 --> 00:07:20.829 done on the show already, and from there I remembered 177 00:07:20.889 --> 00:07:23.379 a song with a similar theme to that, and every 178 00:07:23.420 --> 00:07:25.660 time I remembered the name of the song, I would 179 00:07:25.720 --> 00:07:28.540 forget it again, and it was driving me crazy, and 180 00:07:28.579 --> 00:07:34.480 you can ask Neil. I had to call him. Neil, 181 00:07:34.500 --> 00:07:36.420 I just want you to know, when we did figure 182 00:07:36.459 --> 00:07:38.189 it out, I immediately forgot. 183 00:07:39.449 --> 00:07:40.410 Oh, okay. 184 00:07:40.490 --> 00:07:41.389 So I had to. 185 00:07:41.769 --> 00:07:44.310 I might have too, but now I remember everything. 186 00:07:46.019 --> 00:07:49.920 Next time you have a conversation like this, one of 187 00:07:49.980 --> 00:07:53.139 you immediately text the other with the information. 188 00:07:54.000 --> 00:07:57.160 That's what I did finally. I texted myself. But yeah, 189 00:07:57.259 --> 00:07:57.879 you're right. 190 00:07:57.980 --> 00:07:59.399 I've got a memory like a sieve. 191 00:07:59.720 --> 00:08:00.379 Likewise. 192 00:08:00.399 --> 00:08:03.740 That's the glorious results of a misspent youth. 193 00:08:04.360 --> 00:08:05.379 What's my excuse? 194 00:08:07.779 --> 00:08:09.310 We don't know, but you can tell us. 195 00:08:11.500 --> 00:08:15.579 I can't think of anything except... Maybe brain damage from 196 00:08:15.620 --> 00:08:20.439 the MVA rollover I had in 1997. 197 00:08:22.350 --> 00:08:25.170 So anyway, it's a song, a story song with a 198 00:08:25.230 --> 00:08:29.089 very similar plot to Give Me Three Steps. And I'm 199 00:08:29.129 --> 00:08:31.009 sure you know it, but maybe you haven't heard it 200 00:08:31.029 --> 00:08:32.950 in a while. I was really happy to find it 201 00:08:33.049 --> 00:08:35.129 and hear it again. The song is Come a Little 202 00:08:35.149 --> 00:08:37.250 Bit Closer by Jay and the Americans. 203 00:08:37.269 --> 00:08:37.590 Oh, yeah. 204 00:08:37.610 --> 00:08:42.259 From 1964 on the album of the same name. It 205 00:08:42.299 --> 00:08:45.519 was written by Tommy Boyce and Bobby Hart and Wes 206 00:08:45.580 --> 00:08:51.429 Farrell and became Boyce and Hart's first top ten hit. And, 207 00:08:51.450 --> 00:08:53.190 of course, they went on to write for the Monkees, 208 00:08:53.250 --> 00:08:56.070 and I think they might have done pretty well with that. 209 00:08:57.250 --> 00:08:59.730 You know the story. An American guy's in a cafe 210 00:08:59.789 --> 00:09:02.350 and meets a woman who flirts with him. He responds, 211 00:09:02.429 --> 00:09:04.590 even though he's been told that her boyfriend is a 212 00:09:04.629 --> 00:09:08.460 violent outlaw. When Jose, the boyfriend, shows up and the 213 00:09:08.500 --> 00:09:11.440 man runs, he hears her say the same words to 214 00:09:11.480 --> 00:09:15.000 Jose that she has been saying to him. The song 215 00:09:15.120 --> 00:09:18.370 reached number three on the Billboard Top 100, and Jay 216 00:09:18.690 --> 00:09:22.769 and the Americans also recorded it in Spanish, which I 217 00:09:22.809 --> 00:09:25.490 thought was pretty cool. I didn't know that. When it 218 00:09:25.529 --> 00:09:30.129 was released, Bruce Elder from All Music Review said, Called

219 00:09:30.230 --> 00:09:35.240 the album, quote-unquote, odd for how it collects random singles 220 00:09:35.340 --> 00:09:38.639 but is not a greatest hits album, characterizing it as 221 00:09:38.740 --> 00:09:43.120 a slapped-together effort in order to capitalize on the success 222 00:09:43.299 --> 00:09:46.740 of Come a Little Bit Closer that features good, if 223 00:09:46.840 --> 00:09:53.039 not exceptional, pop rock. And the problem is? 224 00:09:53.059 --> 00:09:53.179 I know! 225 00:09:53.399 --> 00:09:59.820 Aren't all albums, like, unless they're theme albums, have different 226 00:10:00.049 --> 00:10:01.129 songs put together? 227 00:10:01.149 --> 00:10:02.549 I thought that was the point. Yeah. 228 00:10:03.200 --> 00:10:06.360 And if they're all considered to be hits or even 229 00:10:06.580 --> 00:10:11.440 greatest hits, the better, right? I mean, no skipping tracks. 230 00:10:11.460 --> 00:10:13.980 Yeah, it just seems like the goal for any group 231 00:10:14.100 --> 00:10:15.490 that they would want that. Yep. 232 00:10:15.860 --> 00:10:16.580 Yeah. 233 00:10:17.980 --> 00:10:20.419 So in the early days of the group, they auditioned 234 00:10:20.460 --> 00:10:26.360 for Lieber and Stoller, a songwriting and record-producing duo, who 235 00:10:26.419 --> 00:10:29.179 gave the group its name. And I was thinking we 236 00:10:29.200 --> 00:10:31.139 should do a show on them. 237 00:10:31.159 --> 00:10:33.200 Oh, they have a ton of stuff, yeah. 238 00:10:33.220 --> 00:10:38.980 They have a billion songs, yeah. Specifically, Lieber and Stoller 239 00:10:39.120 --> 00:10:41.879 chose Binky Jones and the Americans. 240 00:10:42.730 --> 00:10:43.279 Ha ha ha! 241 00:10:44.730 --> 00:10:48.269 Which the group tweaked to Jay and the Americans. 242 00:10:48.289 --> 00:10:50.149 It's more than a tweak. 243 00:10:50.169 --> 00:10:55.490 It's like a complete change. That's more like a hell. 244 00:10:57.769 --> 00:10:58.340 No. 245 00:10:58.460 --> 00:11:02.240 Songwriting, yes. Titles, no. 246 00:11:04.279 --> 00:11:07.659 Before releasing Come a Little Closer, the band had released 247 00:11:08.519 --> 00:11:11.919 a couple of other songs, one being Tonight, which became 248 00:11:11.960 --> 00:11:15.080 a local hit for them. And then Dawning, which was 249 00:11:15.100 --> 00:11:19.840 a flop until one radio DJ started playing the B-side. 250 00:11:20.139 --> 00:11:23.009 She cried. He played it on the air for six 251 00:11:23.049 --> 00:11:23.789 hours straight. 252 00:11:25.970 --> 00:11:27.389 And promptly lost his job. 253 00:11:29.190 --> 00:11:29.509 Wow. 254 00:11:29.529 --> 00:11:33.889 Well, it reached number five after that. So I don't know. 255 00:11:35.080 --> 00:11:36.879 I wonder if it was one of those situations where 256 00:11:36.899 --> 00:11:40.320 he locked himself in the booth and just kept playing it. 257 00:11:41.190 --> 00:11:42.870 Actually, that sounds like the kind of thing where you 258 00:11:42.909 --> 00:11:47.269 lock yourself out of the booth. And it just keeps 259 00:11:47.289 --> 00:11:49.470 going until you get somebody with keys to let you 260 00:11:49.490 --> 00:11:53.019 back in. My college radio station was like that. The 261 00:11:53.039 --> 00:11:55.120 door would lock behind you, so you had to think about, 262 00:11:55.240 --> 00:11:56.519 you know, if you had to run down the hallway 263 00:11:56.559 --> 00:11:59.500 for a restroom break, that, you know, when you heard 264 00:11:59.539 --> 00:12:01.480 a seven-minute song, you knew what was going on. 265 00:12:01.659 --> 00:12:01.960 Sure. 266 00:12:02.039 --> 00:12:03.320 And you had to make sure the door wasn't going 267 00:12:03.340 --> 00:12:04.139 to close behind you. 268 00:12:04.500 --> 00:12:05.139 Yeah. 269 00:12:05.480 --> 00:12:05.850 Yeah. 270 00:12:06.259 --> 00:12:07.769 That would be a problem. It would be. 271 00:12:08.590 --> 00:12:11.070 I mean, maybe this guy had a girl in the 272 00:12:11.110 --> 00:12:13.570 booth with him and couldn't be bothered changing records. 273 00:12:13.690 --> 00:12:17.009 I don't know. He could have had a hot pocket 274 00:12:17.049 --> 00:12:18.049 and it just didn't go well. 275 00:12:21.440 --> 00:12:23.320 And it burnt his mouth so he couldn't talk. 276 00:12:23.379 --> 00:12:27.320 It took a long time to heat it up. I 277 00:12:27.360 --> 00:12:29.179 can't tell you the story, but I've got a story 278 00:12:29.220 --> 00:12:32.360 that happened. Not really to me, but yeah, to me. 279 00:12:32.980 --> 00:12:37.000 And it was a song on repeat for quite a while. 280 00:12:38.340 --> 00:12:41.080 Oh, is that the one I heard on the, while 281 00:12:41.139 --> 00:12:44.080 I was driving and I ended up texting you or something? 282 00:12:44.100 --> 00:12:45.500 Heiress 2. 283 00:12:45.500 --> 00:12:49.100 Yes! Oh my gosh. One day. 284 00:12:49.200 --> 00:12:54.179 All right. Quickly, I'll tell the story then. I was 285 00:12:54.259 --> 00:12:57.639 coming into, I think, I forget what the shift involved. 286 00:12:57.659 --> 00:12:59.759 I think maybe one of the ball games was coming on. 287 00:12:59.799 --> 00:13:01.600 I was going to run that. But there was another 288 00:13:01.659 --> 00:13:06.440 show on before that I wasn't involved in, but I wasn't, 289 00:13:07.309 --> 00:13:10.230 going to get there I didn't need to get there 290 00:13:10.450 --> 00:13:12.590 for another hour so I said look just put this 291 00:13:12.669 --> 00:13:14.529 CD in it was a whole bunch of different songs 292 00:13:15.009 --> 00:13:20.559 hit play it'll play the songs and when I get 293 00:13:20.600 --> 00:13:22.879 there I can you know change it and get well 294 00:13:25.110 --> 00:13:31.029 They didn't hit play all. They played repeat one. 295 00:13:31.110 --> 00:13:32.029 Repeat track. 296 00:13:33.090 --> 00:13:37.019 And I'm driving around doing errands and I'm listening to 297 00:13:37.059 --> 00:13:42.120 this station and, oh, Eres Tu by

Mosedades. I haven't 298 00:13:42.139 --> 00:13:44.639 heard that song in a long time. And it kept 299 00:13:45.100 --> 00:13:49.200 playing and replaying and replaying. And finally, I think I 300 00:13:49.259 --> 00:13:52.759 texted you and went, what's going on? Is everybody okay 301 00:13:52.840 --> 00:13:53.580 over there? 302 00:13:53.639 --> 00:13:57.950 I said, I don't know. I'm still at home. I'm 303 00:13:57.950 --> 00:14:04.350 20 minutes away. And I realized immediately what had happened. 304 00:14:04.370 --> 00:14:06.990 I was like, and there was nobody else that could 305 00:14:07.029 --> 00:14:08.269 get there before. 306 00:14:09.470 --> 00:14:10.669 It is what it is. 307 00:14:10.889 --> 00:14:12.240 It was so surreal. 308 00:14:14.519 --> 00:14:21.240 And those are highlights of my stellar radio career. They're 309 00:14:21.279 --> 00:14:24.299 all going into the book, and the movie rights should follow. 310 00:14:24.759 --> 00:14:25.120 Good. 311 00:14:25.480 --> 00:14:26.039 Very soon. 312 00:14:26.279 --> 00:14:27.179 We want to hear more. 313 00:14:27.200 --> 00:14:33.190 Oh, no, no, you don't. No, no, no. Okay. 314 00:14:34.250 --> 00:14:37.929 Okay. Back to Jay and the Americans in 1964. They 315 00:14:37.970 --> 00:14:40.529 were one of the four opening acts for The Beatles, 316 00:14:40.690 --> 00:14:43.750 the first live show in the United States since. You know, 317 00:14:43.990 --> 00:14:47.580 four different opening acts depending on the city. There weren't 318 00:14:47.779 --> 00:14:50.360 four acts before the Beatles. That would have been a 319 00:14:50.559 --> 00:14:54.600 really long night. But they were also set for an 320 00:14:54.960 --> 00:15:00.460 opening act for the Rolling Stones in 1964. But due 321 00:15:00.500 --> 00:15:03.590 to the wild audience, the Rolling Stones were switched to 322 00:15:03.629 --> 00:15:07.509 the openers for fear of a riot because Rolling Stones. 323 00:15:08.470 --> 00:15:10.710 By the end of the first song in Jay and 324 00:15:11.110 --> 00:15:14.679 the American set, the venue was totally empty. The entire 325 00:15:14.779 --> 00:15:17.720 audience left after the Rolling Stones played. 326 00:15:17.740 --> 00:15:21.679 Well, that's a slap in the face, isn't it? 327 00:15:21.960 --> 00:15:23.779 Yeah, really. Wow. 328 00:15:24.070 --> 00:15:24.929 Talk about a binky. 329 00:15:25.789 --> 00:15:30.750 Yeah. So in 1969, they released an album of their 330 00:15:30.850 --> 00:15:35.490 favorite oldies, which included This Magic Moment, originally recorded by 331 00:15:35.529 --> 00:15:38.580 the Drifters. It reached number six and stayed on the 332 00:15:38.620 --> 00:15:42.840 trudge for 14 weeks. So let's listen to Come a 333 00:15:42.899 --> 00:15:43.899 Little Bit Closer. 334 00:15:44.009 --> 00:15:48.139 ¶ In a little cafe ¶ ¶ Just the other side. 335 00:15:47.720 --> 00:15:49.940 Of the border ¶. 336 00:15:49.929 --> 00:15:54.240 ¶ He was a-sitting there giving me looks ¶ ¶

337 00:15:54.240 --> 00:16:00.490 That made my mouth water ¶ So I started walking 338 00:16:00.710 --> 00:16:06.809 her way She belonged to Batman Jose And I knew, 339 00:16:06.909 --> 00:16:09.529 yes I knew I should leave When. 340 00:16:09.460 --> 00:16:14.460 I heard her say Come a little bit closer You're 341 00:16:14.500 --> 00:16:18.120 my kind of man So big and so strong Come 342 00:16:18.259 --> 00:16:21.750 a little bit closer I'm all alone And the night 343 00:16:22.129 --> 00:16:23.070 is so long. 344 00:16:24.720 --> 00:16:29.029 Just when we started to dance in my arms she 345 00:16:29.049 --> 00:16:35.309 felt so invited And I just couldn't resist. 346 00:16:34.970 --> 00:16:36.769 The just a little. 347 00:16:36.389 --> 00:16:39.149 Kiss so exciting. 348 00:17:22.210 --> 00:17:27.019 Then the music stopped when I looked, the cafe was empty. 349 00:17:29.160 --> 00:17:31.160 Then I heard Jose. 350 00:17:30.740 --> 00:17:33.299 Say, man, you know you're in trouble. 351 00:17:33.319 --> 00:17:34.519 So I. 352 00:17:35.930 --> 00:17:38.269 Dropped my drink. 353 00:17:37.750 --> 00:17:39.269 From my hand. 354 00:17:50.009 --> 00:17:51.309 Come a little bit. 355 00:17:51.150 --> 00:17:52.890 Closer You're my kind. 356 00:17:52.750 --> 00:17:55.369 Of man So big and so strong. 357 00:17:55.390 --> 00:17:59.880 Come a little bit closer I'm all alone And the night. 358 00:17:59.700 --> 00:18:00.519 Is so long. 359 00:18:19.029 --> 00:18:23.490 I love that song. That's a great song. It would 360 00:18:23.529 --> 00:18:25.289 probably get old if I heard it a lot, but 361 00:18:25.349 --> 00:18:28.329 I rarely hear it. So I was very happy to 362 00:18:28.390 --> 00:18:31.359 hear it when I came across it. So does anybody 363 00:18:31.410 --> 00:18:35.000 know how many J's there were in Jay and the Americans? 364 00:18:35.119 --> 00:18:35.960 At least three. 365 00:18:36.700 --> 00:18:38.180 Yeah, there was three. Correct. 366 00:18:38.359 --> 00:18:38.619 Okay. 367 00:18:39.740 --> 00:18:44.940 Jay Traynor from 1960 to 1962, who left the band 368 00:18:44.980 --> 00:18:47.789 because the two of their songs didn't do well. 369 00:18:48.930 --> 00:18:49.250 Oops. 370 00:18:49.849 --> 00:18:51.849 Cranky. 371 00:18:52.069 --> 00:18:56.789 That was before this song came out. Jay Black, who 372 00:18:56.829 --> 00:19:02.579 was born David Blatt from 1962 to 1973, who was 373 00:19:02.640 --> 00:19:05.099 allowed to join the band after he agreed to change 374 00:19:05.140 --> 00:19:07.539 his name to Jay. 375 00:19:07.720 --> 00:19:08.519 Wouldn't you? 376 00:19:08.859 --> 00:19:10.359 To Binky? Yeah. 377 00:19:14.509 --> 00:19:18.029 And then Jay Reinke, who took over when the band 378 00:19:18.069 --> 00:19:23.710 reunited in 2006. They found an entirely new generation of 379 00:19:23.750 --> 00:19:27.210 fans after appearing in Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2 380 00:19:27.210 --> 00:19:32.980 in 2017. The movie released a movie soundtrack called

Guardians 381 00:19:33.039 --> 00:19:36.819 of the Galaxy Vol. 2, Awesome Mix Vol. 2, with 382 00:19:36.880 --> 00:19:40.700 an old-school cover looking like a cassette mixtape. I don't 383 00:19:40.720 --> 00:19:43.950 know if any of you have seen this movie. It's 384 00:19:44.109 --> 00:19:46.869 not my kind of movie, but I really liked it, 385 00:19:46.980 --> 00:19:51.859 and the music was amazing. In an interview with Kenny 386 00:19:51.920 --> 00:19:56.099 Vance from the band, he said, I wound up doing 387 00:19:58.759 --> 00:20:02.250 movie work for a long time, for maybe 10 years. 388 00:20:02.329 --> 00:20:05.710 I did Animal House. I could do period films, and 389 00:20:05.750 --> 00:20:10.299 then I did The Warriors. Rock on, baby. And I 390 00:20:10.339 --> 00:20:13.319 was the music director on Saturday Night Live and I 391 00:20:13.380 --> 00:20:18.589 did Eddie and the Cruisers. Rock on again. HBO just 392 00:20:18.630 --> 00:20:20.509 went off the air and they had a format where 393 00:20:20.529 --> 00:20:23.329 they could play movies five times a day and they 394 00:20:23.509 --> 00:20:26.569 picked Eddie and the Cruisers for heavy rotation for a 395 00:20:26.630 --> 00:20:29.630 whole month. A year after the movie came out and 396 00:20:29.670 --> 00:20:32.410 they called me up after the record company said you're 397 00:20:32.430 --> 00:20:37.470 selling 25,000 albums a day. It became a huge hit 398 00:20:37.529 --> 00:20:41.289 because of the TV play on HBO. I think that's 399 00:20:41.329 --> 00:20:47.269 pretty cool. See? Movies, entertainment, music, it all combines. 400 00:20:49.029 --> 00:20:49.509 It should. 401 00:20:50.430 --> 00:20:50.809 It should. 402 00:20:50.910 --> 00:20:52.930 Going to the movies, I haven't been to the movies 403 00:20:52.990 --> 00:20:56.099 in ages. It's a miserable experience now. 404 00:20:56.440 --> 00:20:58.619 Who even goes to the movies? I don't know how 405 00:20:58.640 --> 00:21:01.460 theaters are surviving. I can't remember the last time I 406 00:21:01.500 --> 00:21:02.140 was in a theater. 407 00:21:02.180 --> 00:21:04.259 Yeah, like my daughter and her friends would go on 408 00:21:05.079 --> 00:21:07.529 a more frequent basis, kind of like we used to 409 00:21:07.569 --> 00:21:08.109 in high school. 410 00:21:08.630 --> 00:21:09.650 Yeah. 411 00:21:09.710 --> 00:21:10.049 I don't know. 412 00:21:11.109 --> 00:21:12.289 That was like 150 years ago. 413 00:21:12.309 --> 00:21:12.690 Yeah. 414 00:21:12.950 --> 00:21:16.670 I actually went to the movies last week because they 415 00:21:16.710 --> 00:21:20.250 were showing like all the original Star Trek films to 416 00:21:20.289 --> 00:21:22.170 celebrate the 60th anniversary. 417 00:21:22.190 --> 00:21:22.950 Oh, nice. 418 00:21:23.250 --> 00:21:25.970 So I got like an enterprise popcorn bucket. 419 00:21:28.509 --> 00:21:28.869 Yeah. 420 00:21:28.990 --> 00:21:31.609 So I only went for the merch. I mean, yeah, 421 00:21:31.710 --> 00:21:32.309 but it was fun. 422 00:21:32.769 --> 00:21:35.289 I mean, I went and saw, I went and saw Odyssey, 423 00:21:35.609 --> 00:21:37.279 you know, when it was, I may be still in 424 00:21:37.299 --> 00:21:39.809 the theaters as we speak, but, uh, I needed to 425 00:21:39.849 --> 00:21:42.349 see that on a big screen. That makes sense. That 426 00:21:42.630 --> 00:21:44.450 was one of those epics. 427 00:21:45.049 --> 00:21:47.109 I think the last movie I saw was the second 428 00:21:47.130 --> 00:21:49.750 Spinal Tap when that came out. And that's over a 429 00:21:49.789 --> 00:21:50.789 year ago at this point. 430 00:21:50.890 --> 00:21:51.410 Right, right. 431 00:21:51.430 --> 00:21:52.890 That was a while ago. Nothing else has appealed, really. 432 00:21:52.930 --> 00:21:56.630 It's like, eh. Barbara, I have to ask.

She knew exactly 479 00:23:53.049 --> 00:23:53.849 what she was doing. 480 00:23:53.950 --> 00:23:57.750 I blame Jay and the binkies, the binky combs. 481 00:23:58.069 --> 00:24:00.710 I wonder if Jose broke up with her after that. 482 00:24:01.130 --> 00:24:04.410 I would love to hear the rest of that story. 483 00:24:04.430 --> 00:24:05.470 Part two of the sequel. 484 00:24:06.289 --> 00:24:15.390 Run a little bit faster. All right. I do love 485 00:24:15.430 --> 00:24:19.410 that one. I saw the second Jay, a.k.a. David, a 486 00:24:19.450 --> 00:24:22.380 bunch of times perform. He really put on a good show. 487 00:24:22.630 --> 00:24:25.160 He would tell good jokes and all that. I did see, 488 00:24:25.500 --> 00:24:27.500 you know, we saw an older couple. A couple of 489 00:24:27.539 --> 00:24:29.339 jokes in, the older couple looked at each other and 490 00:24:29.380 --> 00:24:31.839 got up and walked out. They were just on the 491 00:24:31.859 --> 00:24:33.049 border of, you know. 492 00:24:33.069 --> 00:24:34.730 Wow. 493 00:24:34.930 --> 00:24:36.930 I don't want to say distasteful, but I could see, 494 00:24:37.049 --> 00:24:37.289 you know. 495 00:24:38.309 --> 00:24:41.970 I went to a movie like 20, oh my God, 496 00:24:42.029 --> 00:24:45.130 it was 27 years ago now. And my brother and 497 00:24:45.150 --> 00:24:48.490 I went to the theater in Portland, Oregon, when the 498 00:24:48.630 --> 00:24:54.240 South Park movie came out in theaters. And we went 499 00:24:54.319 --> 00:24:56.259 to the theater to see it when he was living 500 00:24:56.299 --> 00:25:00.059 out in Oregon and And I just remember about 15 501 00:25:00.059 --> 00:25:04.589 minutes in, these two older ladies get up and don't 502 00:25:04.619 --> 00:25:07.349 just get up and leave. They get up and storm out. 503 00:25:09.230 --> 00:25:13.049 And I'm thinking to myself, why? Why did you even 504 00:25:13.329 --> 00:25:13.930 show up? 505 00:25:14.109 --> 00:25:15.250 Exactly. 506 00:25:15.329 --> 00:25:16.269 What were you thinking? 507 00:25:16.430 --> 00:25:17.309 Oh, my goodness. 508 00:25:17.329 --> 00:25:20.519 My

father walked out of Monty Python Lake, the Holy Grail. 509 00:25:20.539 --> 00:25:22.279 Oh, my gosh. 510 00:25:22.319 --> 00:25:24.279 He took me to see it and left me there. 511 00:25:24.299 --> 00:25:24.660 I guess because. 512 00:25:27.650 --> 00:25:30.059 It was too vulgar for him. They showed a lot 513 00:25:30.119 --> 00:25:32.019 of things that they couldn't show on the TV show 514 00:25:32.079 --> 00:25:35.720 on Flying Circus. And he was having none of it. 515 00:25:35.759 --> 00:25:38.480 He got to have been walked out. And I waited 516 00:25:38.500 --> 00:25:40.619 a minute and I was like, what do I do? 517 00:25:40.640 --> 00:25:41.529 That's my ride. 518 00:25:44.329 --> 00:25:46.890 You should have heard some of the jokes that Davy 519 00:25:46.950 --> 00:25:48.529 Jones was telling when I saw it. 520 00:25:48.549 --> 00:25:49.150 Really? 521 00:25:49.470 --> 00:25:51.410 I was very surprised. And I have to tell you, 522 00:25:51.549 --> 00:25:53.839 I was like a little bit upset about it. Not 523 00:25:53.880 --> 00:25:56.720 that he didn't have any right to. you know, every 524 00:25:56.779 --> 00:25:59.200 right to be able to talk like that, but he's, 525 00:25:59.220 --> 00:26:03.680 you know, he's a grown ass man, but, or he was, but, 526 00:26:04.720 --> 00:26:08.099 you know, I think of him as the cute little 527 00:26:08.380 --> 00:26:17.230 monkey boy. And he was so cute and innocent. And 528 00:26:17.549 --> 00:26:19.450 I don't know, it was just, that was how you 529 00:26:19.490 --> 00:26:21.089 thought of him. And then he got up and he 530 00:26:21.150 --> 00:26:24.349 was telling all these racy jokes about, you know, being, 531 00:26:26.259 --> 00:26:29.819 sex and being old and stuff and I was like no. 532 00:26:30.470 --> 00:26:34.029 And then he got up and sang daydream believer yeah 533 00:26:34.589 --> 00:26:38.490 doesn't really fit. 534 00:26:37.670 --> 00:26:42.690 So wrong yeah I mean it was still a great 535 00:26:42.750 --> 00:26:44.970 show don't get me wrong I still love David Jones 536 00:26:45.009 --> 00:26:49.380 but yeah had I been the manager we would have 537 00:26:49.420 --> 00:26:50.160 had a talk. 538 00:26:49.940 --> 00:26:54.019 Laughing Fair enough. 539 00:26:54.299 --> 00:26:54.640 All right. 540 00:26:54.720 --> 00:26:57.890 Good lead off. That is a great song. When it 541 00:26:57.930 --> 00:27:00.849 comes around, definitely turn that one up. I like Jay 542 00:27:00.869 --> 00:27:03.029 and the Americans. Good one. 543 00:27:03.210 --> 00:27:03.569 All right. 544 00:27:03.930 --> 00:27:04.980 Gail, you are up. 545 00:27:06.190 --> 00:27:11.589 Okay. The first song I thought of when we chose 546 00:27:11.630 --> 00:27:16.730 this topic is called Bring Me Some Water from Melissa 547 00:27:16.809 --> 00:27:26.329 Etheridge's first album, which was called, oddly enough, Melissa Etheridge. Logical? 548 00:27:26.430 --> 00:27:26.789 Yeah. 549 00:27:27.150 --> 00:27:27.829 Not Pinky? 550 00:27:28.630 --> 00:27:29.309 No, no. 551 00:27:29.329 --> 00:27:29.869 It was taken. 552 00:27:29.890 --> 00:27:32.069 Pinky Etheridge. 553 00:27:32.230 --> 00:27:38.519 Yeah, it was copyrighted. It's very bluesy. You know me. 554 00:27:38.650 --> 00:27:40.039 I like bluesy things. 555 00:27:41.680 --> 00:27:42.759 I love her music. 556 00:27:42.920 --> 00:27:49.740 Yeah, me too. Me too. And she was born May 29th, 1969. 557 00:27:50.569 --> 00:27:57.309 one in Leavenworth, Kansas. And she wrote this song after 558 00:27:57.329 --> 00:28:03.289 the initial version of her debut album was rejected by 559 00:28:03.349 --> 00:28:08.369 the recording company. They thought it was too polished and polished. 560 00:28:08.650 --> 00:28:09.049 Yes. 561 00:28:09.589 --> 00:28:13.809 Uh, it was Island records. I don't know. Um, uh, 562 00:28:14.380 --> 00:28:17.720 And it left her only four days to provide new 563 00:28:17.799 --> 00:28:22.720 material and a modified edition of the album. I'm surprised she, well, 564 00:28:22.769 --> 00:28:24.130 maybe she was freaking out. 565 00:28:24.269 --> 00:28:24.690 I don't know. 566 00:28:26.650 --> 00:28:31.049 The album was released in 1988 and it became an 567 00:28:31.210 --> 00:28:34.950 underground success. Now, I at first did not realize that 568 00:28:34.990 --> 00:28:38.259 this song was from her first album. I think I 569 00:28:38.930 --> 00:28:41.319 heard it years later and just went, oh my God, 570 00:28:41.359 --> 00:28:50.150 what song is that? That's great. It became an underground success. 571 00:28:50.259 --> 00:28:55.299 It peaked at number 22 on the Billboard 200, and 572 00:28:55.660 --> 00:29:00.440 Bring Me Some Water was the lead single. And it 573 00:29:00.579 --> 00:29:04.740 got her her first Grammy Award nomination for Best Rock 574 00:29:05.220 --> 00:29:12.150 Vocal Performance Female in 1989. It was released as her 575 00:29:12.349 --> 00:29:16.819 debut single and became a hit in several countries, reaching 576 00:29:16.859 --> 00:29:21.180 the top 20 in Australia, New Zealand, and on the U.S. 577 00:29:21.259 --> 00:29:28.700 Billboard Album Rock Tracks chart. And I so seldom find 578 00:29:29.380 --> 00:29:34.089 actual what inspired the song when we're picking a topic 579 00:29:34.509 --> 00:29:39.869 and picking songs for this. And she was living in 580 00:29:40.390 --> 00:29:45.680 LA at the time, and she had a long-distance relationship 581 00:29:45.759 --> 00:29:52.200 with her then-girlfriend Kathleen. So she had reluctantly agreed to 582 00:29:52.240 --> 00:29:59.480 make their relationship non-monogamous, and I guess she had awful 583 00:29:59.559 --> 00:30:05.480 thoughts about that afterwards because the song tells about the 584 00:30:05.539 --> 00:30:08.779 pain and jealousy from thoughts of her girlfriend being with 585 00:30:08.819 --> 00:30:13.660 someone else. Other songs on the album also reflect this. 586 00:30:14.589 --> 00:30:17.950 So let's have a listen and then

we'll talk a 587 00:30:17.990 --> 00:30:18.630 little more. 588 00:30:20.710 --> 00:30:22.490 Tonight I feel so weak. 589 00:30:29.740 --> 00:30:31.660 But all in love is fair. 590 00:30:33.670 --> 00:30:34.730 I turn you the cheek. 591 00:30:35.869 --> 00:30:38.289 And I feel the slap and the sting of the 592 00:30:38.589 --> 00:30:44.230 foul night air. And I know you're only human. And 593 00:30:44.329 --> 00:30:50.910 I haven't got talking room. But tonight while I'm making excuses. 594 00:30:52.319 --> 00:30:55.220 Some other woman is making love to you. 595 00:30:58.269 --> 00:31:07.930 Can't you see. 596 00:31:05.680 --> 00:31:12.839 It's out of control? 597 00:31:18.880 --> 00:31:21.440 Baby's got my heart, and my baby's. 598 00:31:21.160 --> 00:31:22.440 Got my mind. 599 00:31:22.480 --> 00:31:25.609 Tonight the sweet. 600 00:31:25.589 --> 00:31:32.579 Devil, the sweet devil's got my soul. 601 00:31:32.619 --> 00:31:36.440 Walking with a stinking past. 602 00:31:38.799 --> 00:31:44.720 Will this night be through? Wanna hear the breaking. 603 00:31:43.779 --> 00:31:48.980 Glass I only feel the steel of the red-hot. 604 00:31:48.299 --> 00:31:51.829 Truth And I'd do anything. 605 00:31:51.049 --> 00:31:53.450 To get it out of my mind I need some 606 00:31:53.490 --> 00:31:58.730 insanity for that temporary kind Tell me how will I. 607 00:31:58.670 --> 00:31:59.869 Ever be the. 608 00:31:59.690 --> 00:32:03.740 Same When I know that that woman is whispering your name. 609 00:32:03.660 --> 00:32:10.609 Somebody bring me some water Can't you see I'm burning alive? 610 00:32:12.109 --> 00:32:14.670 Can't you see my. 611 00:32:14.630 --> 00:32:15.529 Baby's got another lover? 612 00:32:15.910 --> 00:32:20.910 And I don't know how I'm gonna survive.

That was like the unpolished version? 627 00:34:08.820 --> 00:34:13.139 That sounded pretty polished to me. 628 00:34:13.550 --> 00:34:16.449 No, she had to come up with like new songs. 629 00:34:18.710 --> 00:34:21.570 Oh, okay. Because I was going to like, there's nothing 630 00:34:21.610 --> 00:34:24.650 wrong with that. That sounded great. It rocked. Yeah, yeah. 631 00:34:25.179 --> 00:34:28.840 But it was not unpolished. I mean, unpolished would be 632 00:34:28.880 --> 00:34:35.650 like sitting in a cheap motel with a reel-to-reel recorder 633 00:34:35.670 --> 00:34:36.730 with one microphone. 634 00:34:36.909 --> 00:34:37.809 Right, right. 635 00:34:38.570 --> 00:34:39.670 That's unpolished. 636 00:34:40.090 --> 00:34:40.429 Yeah. 637 00:34:41.650 --> 00:34:42.190 Okay, but. 638 00:34:42.210 --> 00:34:46.210 No, I guess they didn't like whatever songs she had 639 00:34:46.389 --> 00:34:52.039 previously submitted as the album, and so I guess she 640 00:34:52.139 --> 00:34:54.079 came up with gutsier stuff. I don't know. 641 00:34:55.880 --> 00:34:57.840 Okay, yeah, I was just going to say that didn't 642 00:34:57.880 --> 00:35:01.440 sound unpolished to me. If they didn't like the other material, 643 00:35:01.480 --> 00:35:02.659 that's a whole other story. 644 00:35:02.679 --> 00:35:08.880 Yeah, yeah.

Neil, your turn to cheat. 679 00:37:05.599 --> 00:37:10.000 Oh, all right. Well, the song I picked for our 680 00:37:10.099 --> 00:37:15.940 topic of infidelity today is a song called Cha-Cha-Cherie by 681 00:37:15.980 --> 00:37:19.550 the Johnny Average Band. And no, I wasn't stuttering, and no, 682 00:37:19.610 --> 00:37:25.949 your connection is fine. It's Cha-Cha-Cherie. And I'll be honest, 683 00:37:26.030 --> 00:37:29.650 I couldn't find too much information about these guys, but 684 00:37:29.969 --> 00:37:34.679 I really like this track, so here goes. The Johnny 685 00:37:34.800 --> 00:37:39.159 Average Band was a short-lived male-female English pop rock duo 686 00:37:39.389 --> 00:37:45.510 whose members were Mick Hodgkinson, a.k.a. Johnny Average, and Nicky Wills, 687 00:37:46.030 --> 00:37:50.869 and they were active in the early 1980s. They're best 688 00:37:50.929 --> 00:37:54.960 known here in the United States for their upbeat 1981 single, 689 00:37:55.059 --> 00:37:59.800 the song we're about to hear, Ch-Ch-Churri. And see, I 690 00:37:59.920 --> 00:38:01.070 did like some stuff from the 80s. 691 00:38:03.530 --> 00:38:04.630 Not much, though. 692 00:38:04.750 --> 00:38:11.199 No, well, you know, I'm very discretionary or whatever in 693 00:38:11.239 --> 00:38:15.260 a topic of indiscretion. Anyway, Cherie is a French term. 694 00:38:15.559 --> 00:38:19.980 It's a French term of endearment. And it means like darling, dear, 695 00:38:20.059 --> 00:38:24.820 or beloved. And it's usually used to address a female. Now, 696 00:38:24.969 --> 00:38:28.670 the song was written and produced by both Mick Hodgkinson, 697 00:38:29.090 --> 00:38:34.010 Johnny Average, and Griff McCree. So it's sort of interesting 698 00:38:34.050 --> 00:38:37.170 that a song written by two men is being sung 699 00:38:38.090 --> 00:38:42.889 by a woman, as we shall hear. Now in the song, 700 00:38:42.969 --> 00:38:47.730 the singer suspects her partner of indiscretions and confronts him 701 00:38:47.789 --> 00:38:52.090 about it. And then she turns the tables and admits 702 00:38:52.789 --> 00:38:57.070 the reason why she's wise to him is because she's 703 00:38:57.139 --> 00:38:59.719 the one who taught him the art of deception in 704 00:38:59.760 --> 00:39:06.019 the first place. Like this, the lyrics. Lying, cheating, deceiving. 705

00:39:06.900 --> 00:39:11.300 What do you think you're doing to me? Ch-ch-churry. Misbehaving 706 00:39:11.320 --> 00:39:14.170 and fooling around. I hear your name all over town. 707 00:39:14.550 --> 00:39:18.769 You can't fool me. Ch-ch-churry. I'm the one who taught 708 00:39:18.789 --> 00:39:22.630 you all your lies. Did you really think they'd work 709 00:39:22.670 --> 00:39:28.289 this time? Not on me. Ch-ch-ch-ree. So let's check it out. 710 00:39:29.289 --> 00:39:37.289 ¶ ¶ ¶ ¶ ¶ ¶ ¶ ¶. 711 00:39:50.820 --> 00:39:58.570 Choo-choo-choo-ree Misbehavin' and foolin' around I hear your name all 712 00:39:58.650 --> 00:40:04.409 over town You can't fool me Choo-choo-choo-ree You don't fool 713 00:40:04.489 --> 00:40:10.800 me Choo-choo-choo-ree I'm the one who taught you all your 714 00:40:10.860 --> 00:40:23.039 lines Did you think they'd really work. 715 00:40:28.840 --> 00:40:29.639 This time? 716 00:40:30.719 --> 00:40:39.260 Not on me. 717 00:40:39.159 --> 00:40:47.590 Choo-choo-choo-ree Not on me Choo-choo-choo-ree guitar solo. 718 00:40:58.329 --> 00:41:00.019 The one who taught. 719 00:40:59.719 --> 00:41:02.280 You all your lines Did you think they'd really work 720 00:41:02.320 --> 00:41:06.199 this time? Not on me Ch-ch-ch-ree Not on me Ch-ch-ch-ree. 721 00:41:55.550 --> 00:41:57.650 Yeah, we were commenting while the song was on, a 722 00:41:57.730 --> 00:42:00.329 couple of you were saying it sounds a lot like Blondie, 723 00:42:00.389 --> 00:42:04.809 and I totally agree. And they were hot on the charts, 724 00:42:05.050 --> 00:42:08.230 Blondie was at that time. So, hey, if you're going 725 00:42:08.250 --> 00:42:13.429 to copy someone, you might as well copy from the best. So, yeah, 726 00:42:13.610 --> 00:42:16.480 it does have a very Blondie-esque sound to it, the 727 00:42:17.579 --> 00:42:21.429 singing and the instrumental. Now, the single was released on 728 00:42:21.469 --> 00:42:24.630 the Bearsville label, which was responsible for most of the 729 00:42:24.670 --> 00:42:29.360 band's recorded output. That included a mix of singles, one LP, 730 00:42:29.440 --> 00:42:34.500 I believe, and some compilations. Now, the singles were distributed 731 00:42:34.559 --> 00:42:40.590 internationally by Bearsville and were manufactured in multiple countries, so 732 00:42:41.610 --> 00:42:43.590 there's a whole lot of different ones out there that 733 00:42:43.730 --> 00:42:48.949 make them collectible for vinyl enthusiasts, so... If you happen 734 00:42:48.989 --> 00:42:51.610 to have a copy, I guess... Well, actually, I do 735 00:42:51.650 --> 00:42:54.389 have a copy of the 45 somewhere tucked away, and 736 00:42:54.429 --> 00:42:58.150 I have no idea of the value or collectability. I'm 737 00:42:58.230 --> 00:43:02.010 sure it was made right here in the good old U.S.A., 738 00:43:02.110 --> 00:43:06.389 and besides which, it's not for sale anyway. Sorry. It's 739 00:43:06.789 --> 00:43:07.309 all mine. 740 00:43:07.630 --> 00:43:08.469 Too sentimental. 741 00:43:09.469 --> 00:43:12.630 That's right. Well, anyway, as I said, I really dig 742 00:43:12.650 --> 00:43:15.010 this song, and I hope you did too. So now, 743 00:43:15.949 --> 00:43:18.070 get out there and go to a concert. Thank you. 744 00:43:18.579 --> 00:43:21.420 Neil, you digging an 80s song. That's like a first. 745 00:43:21.440 --> 00:43:21.639 I think. 746 00:43:21.900 --> 00:43:24.889 I know, right? I know. Don't let it get around. 747 00:43:25.289 --> 00:43:27.289 I've got a reputation to uphold here. 748 00:43:27.909 --> 00:43:30.989 Every once in a while, there's that one exception. 749 00:43:32.949 --> 00:43:35.909 There are... No, I listened to a lot of music 750 00:43:36.590 --> 00:43:41.179 in the 80s. I mean, obviously. But it wasn't all 751 00:43:41.739 --> 00:43:45.559 mainstream and top 40 or any of that either. Right. 752 00:43:46.340 --> 00:43:46.559 I was. 753 00:43:48.449 --> 00:43:52.750 Dwelling in the underground, shall we say. And I think 754 00:43:52.769 --> 00:43:56.670 I've always been there, but that's the way I roll. 755 00:43:56.909 --> 00:43:59.269 That's where good stuff comes from. So you need people there. 756 00:44:00.110 --> 00:44:01.449 Yeah. 757 00:44:01.570 --> 00:44:03.219 That's what I say. All right. 758 00:44:03.280 --> 00:44:06.059 Thanks, Neil. Barbara, your turn. 759 00:44:06.960 --> 00:44:07.239 Okay. 760 00:44:07.280 --> 00:44:12.159 Well, we all had some very cool song choices up 761 00:44:12.239 --> 00:44:12.760 until now. 762 00:44:12.780 --> 00:44:16.590 Yeah. Go, Barbara. 763 00:44:19.550 --> 00:44:22.139 I basically picked this one because I liked the song, 764 00:44:22.199 --> 00:44:26.340 but the performer was so out there, it just blew 765 00:44:26.360 --> 00:44:30.300 me away. I'd like to begin by imparting a brief 766 00:44:30.360 --> 00:44:37.400 history lesson regarding Czechoslovakia. Czechoslovakia was a single country that 767 00:44:37.460 --> 00:44:40.510 existed in Central Europe for most of the 20th century, 768 00:44:41.119 --> 00:44:46.920 having been created in 1918. It peacefully split into two 769 00:44:47.099 --> 00:44:53.179 independent countries on January 1st, 1993, in an event known 770 00:44:53.360 --> 00:44:55.340 as the Velvet Divorce. 771 00:44:56.360 --> 00:44:56.539 Oh. 772 00:44:57.579 --> 00:45:01.380 The two independent countries it split into are the Czech 773 00:45:01.420 --> 00:45:06.940 Republic and Slovakia. That being said, I would like to 774 00:45:07.099 --> 00:45:12.000 now tell you about the father of Slovak jazz. 775 00:45:12.539 --> 00:45:12.900 Woo-hoo! 776 00:45:13.880 --> 00:45:16.760 His name is Peter Lipa, and he was born on 777 00:45:16.800 --> 00:45:24.659 May 30th, 1943 to Hungarian Jewish parents. He has performed soul, blues, classical, rock, 778 00:45:25.000 --> 00:45:30.570 and jazz standards. In 2003, he released an album called 779 00:45:30.789 --> 00:45:37.869 Beatles in Blues, which included

16 Beatles songs. So let's 780 00:45:37.969 --> 00:45:42.250 listen to his rendition of No Reply, my favorite cheating song. 781 00:45:43.030 --> 00:45:46.889 which was originally included on the 1964 album Beatles for Sale. 782 00:45:46.909 --> 00:45:47.750 Let's hear it. 783 00:45:47.829 --> 00:45:50.420 This happened once before. 784 00:45:50.050 --> 00:45:54.079 When I came to your door No reply. 785 00:46:09.969 --> 00:46:13.250 They said it wasn't you, but I saw you peek 786 00:46:13.289 --> 00:46:16.969 through your window. 787 00:46:17.130 --> 00:46:20.269 I saw the light. 788 00:46:21.329 --> 00:46:25.530 I saw the light. 789 00:46:25.730 --> 00:46:28.510 I know that you saw me because I looked up 790 00:46:28.570 --> 00:46:34.199 to see your face. I tried to telephone. 791 00:46:34.429 --> 00:46:36.159 They said you were not home. 792 00:46:36.440 --> 00:46:37.139 That's a lie. 793 00:46:41.369 --> 00:46:44.530 Cause I know where you'll be. I saw you walk in. 794 00:46:45.030 --> 00:46:57.539 You're done. I nearly died. I nearly died. Cause you 795 00:46:57.599 --> 00:47:01.500 walked hand in hand with another man in my place. 796 00:47:35.880 --> 00:47:41.420 If I were you, I'd realize. 797 00:47:40.280 --> 00:47:51.690 That I love you more than any other guy. And 798 00:47:51.809 --> 00:48:01.250 I'll forgive the lies that. 799 00:47:59.199 --> 00:48:02.960 I heard before when you gave me nothing. 800 00:48:07.670 --> 00:48:09.070 By the telephone. 801 00:48:09.570 --> 00:48:15.429 They say you were not home and that's lying. 802 00:48:15.489 --> 00:48:17.449 Cause I know where you've been. 803 00:48:17.610 --> 00:48:22.130 I saw you walk in your door. 804 00:48:22.869 --> 00:48:27.070 I nearly died. 805 00:48:27.489 --> 00:48:31.219 I nearly died. 806 00:48:31.300 --> 00:48:35.400 Cause you walk hand in hand with another man. 807 00:48:35.059 --> 00:48:35.619 In my. 808 00:48:47.949 --> 00:48:50.949 Well, all right, so. 809 00:48:50.750 --> 00:49:02.460 After I listened to this song and said. 810 00:49:15.039 --> 00:49:16.840 This is just out there enough for me to pick 811 00:49:16.880 --> 00:49:19.929 this one. I went and did some research on this. 812 00:49:19.989 --> 00:49:24.590 song and I found the following explanation. that Lipa and 813 00:49:24.650 --> 00:49:27.989 his musicians had set out to create the most unusual 814 00:49:28.050 --> 00:49:30.280 renditions of the Beatles music that they could think of. 815 00:49:30.380 --> 00:49:33.519 There you go. That's why it sounds like that. 816 00:49:33.739 --> 00:49:35.260 They certainly succeeded. 817 00:49:35.280 --> 00:49:37.650 Yes, in that respect, they get A +. 818 00:49:38.340 --> 00:49:38.900 That's why it. 819 00:49:38.860 --> 00:49:39.519 Sounds like that. 820 00:49:39.639 --> 00:49:43.289 So they are recorded so differently from the originals that 821 00:49:43.329 --> 00:49:47.489 the only common thing that remains are the lyrics. Three 822 00:49:48.070 --> 00:49:51.860 of Lipa's studio albums have been included among the 100 823 00:49:51.860 --> 00:49:54.579 greatest Slovak albums of all time. 824 00:49:54.599 --> 00:49:56.219 I don't know if that's a compliment. 825 00:49:56.280 --> 00:50:00.219 Have there even been a hundred? Have there even been 826 00:50:00.260 --> 00:50:00.639 a hundred? 827 00:50:01.380 --> 00:50:04.059 I'm thinking their bar is more of a limbo bar. 828 00:50:04.079 --> 00:50:10.500 Every little factoid I read on this was just like, okay, 829 00:50:10.559 --> 00:50:15.320 I'm writing it down. I'm like laughing. 100 Greatest Slovak 830 00:50:15.659 --> 00:50:18.960 Albums of All Times, but Beatles and Blues was not 831 00:50:19.059 --> 00:50:23.280 one of them. Lipa is the first jazz singer to 832 00:50:23.340 --> 00:50:27.489 record in Slovak, and most of his albums are in Slovak. 833 00:50:28.530 --> 00:50:28.780 Good. 834 00:50:28.800 --> 00:50:33.849 I did try to visit the website, PeterLipa.com, but bam, 835 00:50:33.869 --> 00:50:37.489 that was in Slovak, too. There was a tab to 836 00:50:37.530 --> 00:50:39.989 choose English, so I said, okay, what the heck, and 837 00:50:40.070 --> 00:50:43.880 I clicked on it, and then... I found links to 838 00:50:43.920 --> 00:50:47.880 purchase albums and concert tickets. So the guy's still going 839 00:50:47.900 --> 00:50:51.070 strong and doing live music and everything. Good for him. 840 00:50:52.940 --> 00:50:55.340 So I knew I wanted to talk about the song, 841 00:50:55.360 --> 00:50:58.619 No Reply, but since the Beatles are kind of low-hanging fruit, 842 00:50:58.739 --> 00:51:03.070 what I did was I went to the website whosampled.com 843 00:51:03.510 --> 00:51:05.710 to see if I could find an unusual cover. There 844 00:51:05.789 --> 00:51:06.809 are a couple out there. 845 00:51:06.829 --> 00:51:06.900 Hmm. 846 00:51:08.289 --> 00:51:10.349 You know, there was one guy with a German accent 847 00:51:10.369 --> 00:51:13.650 that was hilarious. And yeah, some really, really, and some 848 00:51:13.690 --> 00:51:18.300 really good covers. This one was the most interesting one. 849 00:51:18.159 --> 00:51:19.380 I could find. 850 00:51:19.719 --> 00:51:21.550 That's a polite way to put it. 851 00:51:21.579 --> 00:51:26.340 Was that a Czechoslovakian accent? It sounded to me like 852 00:51:27.980 --> 00:51:30.630 Axl Rose singing a bossa nova from the early 60s. 853 00:51:34.119 --> 00:51:37.719 Like the girl from Ipanema by Axl Rose. 854 00:51:37.739 --> 00:51:40.119 You know, some things are too good to be true. 855 00:51:40.159 --> 00:51:44.019 This was like too bad to be true. And as 856 00:51:44.059 --> 00:51:47.139 soon as I heard this guy sing, I knew this 857 00:51:47.219 --> 00:51:50.739 was it. And it immediately had me rethinking my life's choices. 858 00:51:50.800 --> 00:51:51.909 So I knew I had to pick it. 859 00:51:52.739 --> 00:51:55.750 My concern is that you said he's the father of 860 00:51:55.809 -->

And 863 00:52:04.940 --> 00:52:06.650 I'm trying to, I don't know how else to say 864 00:52:06.690 --> 00:52:07.250 it politely. 865 00:52:08.150 --> 00:52:10.650 I didn't know there was such a thing as Slovak 866 00:52:10.750 --> 00:52:12.650 jazz to begin with. 867 00:52:12.849 --> 00:52:13.909 Neither did I. 868 00:52:14.090 --> 00:52:14.829 It's just this guy. 869 00:52:15.380 --> 00:52:16.409 I'm here to educate. 870 00:52:17.320 --> 00:52:18.360 I'm here to educate. 871 00:52:18.590 --> 00:52:20.980 That's what I'm imparting to you.

He had the number 878 00:52:35.940 --> 00:52:38.760 100 album of a list of like 75.

Well, I mean, 898 00:54:01.449 --> 00:54:03.179 I know why you picked it for the topic, but. 899 00:54:03.760 --> 00:54:04.739 Well, he's got. 900 00:54:04.559 --> 00:54:07.760 16 Beatles songs on his Beatles and Blues album, and yes, 901 00:54:07.800 --> 00:54:10.139 I listened to, like, all of them. They were all 902 00:54:10.480 --> 00:54:12.599 pretty much on par with this one, but this one 903 00:54:12.619 --> 00:54:13.420 fit the topic. 904 00:54:13.519 --> 00:54:14.980 You are a brave woman. 905 00:54:16.860 --> 00:54:19.579 This is what research is all about, is taking that leap, 906 00:54:19.880 --> 00:54:21.199 you know? 907 00:54:21.340 --> 00:54:23.159 No, leap up. 908 00:54:23.360 --> 00:54:27.699 Did you listen to this looking for a song for 909 00:54:27.760 --> 00:54:30.800 this topic, or did you just listen to it for fun? 910 00:54:31.690 --> 00:54:36.260 Well, I wanted to, the story is I wanted to 911 00:54:36.320 --> 00:54:38.519 do No Reply because it's one of my favorite Beatles 912 00:54:38.539 --> 00:54:41.139 songs and it fit the topic. But I knew that 913 00:54:41.179 --> 00:54:43.480 picking a Beatles song is kind of like low-hanging fruit. 914 00:54:43.539 --> 00:54:47.079 So I went to the website whosample.com to see if 915 00:54:47.099 --> 00:54:50.139 I could find a cover of it that would be 916 00:54:50.199 --> 00:54:54.190 cool for the show. And I found some good covers, 917 00:54:54.210 --> 00:54:55.510 but like as soon as I found this one, I 918 00:54:55.530 --> 00:54:56.929 was like, this is it. This is the cover I 919 00:54:56.949 --> 00:54:57.349 have to play. 920 00:54:57.889 --> 00:55:00.289 And yet you went on and listened to the whole album. 921 00:55:00.329 --> 00:55:01.989 But then I listened to the whole album, yes. 922 00:55:02.429 --> 00:55:04.809 Okay, that's what I was trying to think. 923 00:55:04.829 --> 00:55:06.730 That's a professional right there. 924 00:55:07.710 --> 00:55:10.210 So he's got a bunch of downloads off of me. 925 00:55:10.230 --> 00:55:13.980 He must be so excited. 926 00:55:17.539 --> 00:55:18.059 All right. 927 00:55:18.699 --> 00:55:20.690 John, can you rescue us? 928 00:55:22.039 --> 00:55:24.159 I don't know if I'm going to rescue you, Brian, 929 00:55:24.239 --> 00:55:28.320 but I can certainly just give you my take on 930 00:55:28.380 --> 00:55:29.059 everything here. 931 00:55:29.079 --> 00:55:30.119 But this has. 932 00:55:30.039 --> 00:55:32.840 Been quite a night, that's all I can say. All right, 933 00:55:32.880 --> 00:55:37.380 my choice tonight was The Boys' Night Out. Now, we're 934 00:55:37.400 --> 00:55:41.820 talking about the Frank Sinatra version of the song, but 935 00:55:41.989 --> 00:55:44.530 it was originally a bit of a lighthearted 1962 song 936 00:55:44.550 --> 00:55:52.219 written by Jimmy Van Heusen, And Sammy Khan about men 937 00:55:52.300 --> 00:55:57.480 going out onto the town for a night of romance 938 00:55:57.619 --> 00:55:58.139 and fun. 939 00:55:58.539 --> 00:56:01.010 And you know there's going to be cheating involved. 940 00:56:01.449 --> 00:56:02.489 Exactly. 941 00:56:02.849 --> 00:56:05.010 But let me tell you, folks, there is a twist 942 00:56:05.150 --> 00:56:07.170 to this that I am not going to mention right now. 943 00:56:07.230 --> 00:56:09.469 We're going to wait until after the song. But yeah,

944 00:56:09.510 --> 00:56:12.019 that's about it. A bunch of guys going out on 945 00:56:12.039 --> 00:56:14.699 the town. Now, when you think about Frank Sinatra going 946 00:56:14.760 --> 00:56:16.900 out on a night on the town, nobody thinks of 947 00:56:17.099 --> 00:56:20.920 cheating or carousing, I'm sure, as I say with tongue 948 00:56:20.960 --> 00:56:21.400 in cheek. 949 00:56:21.559 --> 00:56:25.820 What, the Rat Pack? No. Nah. 950 00:56:26.239 --> 00:56:29.139 Well, you would think he originally created this, but no, 951 00:56:29.199 --> 00:56:32.159 he did not. Jimmy Van Heusen and Sammy Khan did. 952 00:56:33.320 --> 00:56:36.340 The songs, meaning, of course, as we all have been discussing, 953 00:56:37.219 --> 00:56:41.739 It implies about people going out on the prowl, and 954 00:56:41.760 --> 00:56:44.090 there's a lot of lyrics about building a fence around 955 00:56:44.130 --> 00:56:46.170 your daughter to protect her from these. 956 00:56:46.789 --> 00:56:47.449 Yikes. 957 00:56:47.530 --> 00:56:50.630 Yes, these kind of lecherous fools, because they're all heading 958 00:56:50.690 --> 00:56:54.010 out and about. The song compares impending chaos of the 959 00:56:54.070 --> 00:56:58.289 night with historical disasters, such as the night they lost 960 00:56:58.329 --> 00:57:01.389 the Titanic and the Wall Street panic. So you'll hear 961 00:57:01.469 --> 00:57:04.809 some of these themes in the song. But it was 962 00:57:04.909 --> 00:57:09.190 originally written as a title track for a 1962 comedy film, 963 00:57:09.530 --> 00:57:14.190 Boys Night Out, starring James Garner and Kim Novak. And 964 00:57:14.230 --> 00:57:17.349 the song was famously recorded and performed in the movie 965 00:57:17.429 --> 00:57:22.130 by Patti Page, not Frank Sinatra. So what we're going 966 00:57:22.150 --> 00:57:27.030 to hear now is the Sinatra version and what he 967 00:57:27.070 --> 00:57:28.889 did with the song. So why don't we play the 968 00:57:28.929 --> 00:57:31.300 song and I could talk a little bit about the 969 00:57:31.409 --> 00:57:32.860 twist when we're done. 970 00:57:50.619 --> 00:57:54.400 Hey there, mister, build a fence around your sister, it's the. 971 00:57:55.309 --> 00:58:00.019 The boys night out.

When Frank recorded this, um, 1020 01:01:09.210 --> 01:01:15.550 It was actually shelved in the MGM reprise vaults and 1021 01:01:15.610 --> 01:01:20.000 remained unreleased for decades until it finally appeared on the 1022 01:01:20.000 --> 01:01:25.780 1995 box set, the Complete Reprise Studio

Recordings. So it 1023 01:01:25.820 --> 01:01:31.280 was originally recorded in 62 by Patti Page, and shortly 1024 01:01:31.320 --> 01:01:36.349 thereafter it was recorded by Sinatra, but not released until 1995. 1025 01:01:37.260 --> 01:01:40.590 So the song, so the rendition we just heard sat 1026 01:01:40.630 --> 01:01:43.130 on the shelves for decades for some reason. I'm not really, 1027 01:01:43.190 --> 01:01:44.070 I tried to find why. 1028 01:01:44.090 --> 01:01:46.369 It's cool that it was saved and not recorded over. 1029 01:01:46.670 --> 01:01:49.190 Tape was expensive. You know, a lot of, I can't 1030 01:01:49.210 --> 01:01:52.469 imagine what we've lost over history just because tape was reused. 1031 01:01:53.070 --> 01:01:55.690 Yeah, I could just imagine somebody screwing that up and 1032 01:01:55.710 --> 01:01:57.719 just doing that with this song. Because, I mean, this, 1033 01:01:58.079 --> 01:02:00.820 I mean, it was classic Sinatra. I mean, does he 1034 01:02:00.860 --> 01:02:03.139 do a wonderful take on the song? Of course he does. 1035 01:02:03.659 --> 01:02:06.460 You know, when I was talking during the song before, too, 1036 01:02:06.820 --> 01:02:10.420 the horn actually kind of reminded me a little bit of, like, 1037 01:02:10.500 --> 01:02:14.000 James Bond theme from the 60s, you know? And who 1038 01:02:14.039 --> 01:02:16.289 was also... a bit of a letch. 1039 01:02:16.369 --> 01:02:18.679 Let's, let's, let's be realistic here. 1040 01:02:21.929 --> 01:02:25.380 You know, so, um, but I, I find it fascinating 1041 01:02:25.420 --> 01:02:28.420 that it just sat on a shelf for decades and somebody, 1042 01:02:28.480 --> 01:02:31.360 I guess that MGM decided in 95, you know, this 1043 01:02:31.440 --> 01:02:31.780 is good. 1044 01:02:31.820 --> 01:02:32.650 Let's release it. 1045 01:02:34.159 --> 01:02:37.780 So, uh, that was my take on tonight and, uh, 1046 01:02:37.920 --> 01:02:40.079 let's see what Brian has in store for us. 1047 01:02:40.300 --> 01:02:42.280 I like that big band kind of thing. I think I'm, 1048 01:02:43.429 --> 01:02:45.789 One of the only crambones who kind of enjoys it. 1049 01:02:45.849 --> 01:02:47.449 And that stuff is fun to play. I like it. 1050 01:02:47.929 --> 01:02:49.659 It's fun to play when you're in a group doing 1051 01:02:49.699 --> 01:02:51.000 that kind of thing. Yep. 1052 01:02:51.699 --> 01:02:53.019 I love Frank Sinatra. 1053 01:02:53.139 --> 01:02:53.360 Yeah. 1054 01:02:53.380 --> 01:02:54.820 I just like that style. 1055 01:02:54.940 --> 01:02:57.900 I have old photos of my parents out on dates with, 1056 01:02:58.000 --> 01:03:01.440 you know, the cool clothes and everything that they wore 1057 01:03:01.960 --> 01:03:05.059 back when they were cool. And I just love music 1058 01:03:05.099 --> 01:03:07.389 like this because it makes, it gives me a visual 1059 01:03:07.429 --> 01:03:08.610 of my parents dating. 1060 01:03:08.869 --> 01:03:11.210 Did your dad wear those jackets

with the skinny ties 1061 01:03:11.250 --> 01:03:11.789 and everything? 1062 01:03:12.570 --> 01:03:13.090 Oh, yeah. 1063 01:03:13.150 --> 01:03:15.590 And then when they went out of style in the 70s, 1064 01:03:15.630 --> 01:03:17.530 my mother yelled at him for wearing them still. 1065 01:03:17.550 --> 01:03:24.139 Yeah, but they come back. Everything comes back. Skinny tie stuff. 1066 01:03:24.179 --> 01:03:26.820 Just keep wearing it. It's going to be coming back 1067 01:03:26.860 --> 01:03:29.539 at some point. There you go. Except like the fedoras. 1068 01:03:29.579 --> 01:03:31.320 They haven't come back as much as you would think. 1069 01:03:32.960 --> 01:03:33.909 We should make that happen. 1070 01:03:35.090 --> 01:03:35.590 Mm-hmm. 1071 01:03:35.949 --> 01:03:37.530 Start the Cranbone line of fedoras. 1072 01:03:38.610 --> 01:03:40.250 I've got one tucked away somewhere. 1073 01:03:40.769 --> 01:03:40.989 Yeah. 1074 01:03:42.099 --> 01:03:44.079 But I wear many hats, as you know. 1075 01:03:45.599 --> 01:03:46.539 Yes, you do, Neil. 1076 01:03:46.719 --> 01:03:51.929 Yes, you do. Yeah, my mom was a big Sinatra fan, 1077 01:03:51.949 --> 01:03:54.409 you know, when she was a teenager and whatnot. So 1078 01:03:54.429 --> 01:04:02.039 the very early days, you know, like in the 40s. So, yeah, 1079 01:04:02.159 --> 01:04:07.050 and then they grew up, had children like me. and 1080 01:04:07.139 --> 01:04:09.699 all the music I listened to, which basically said the 1081 01:04:09.760 --> 01:04:13.699 same topic, the same sentiment, and they hated it. They 1082 01:04:13.760 --> 01:04:17.199 called it rock and roll. It was the devil's music. 1083 01:04:17.360 --> 01:04:19.860 It was the same stuff with a different tone to it. 1084 01:04:19.929 --> 01:04:20.369 That's all. 1085 01:04:20.889 --> 01:04:24.510 My dad complained, it's loud and it's fast. No, he 1086 01:04:24.550 --> 01:04:26.210 didn't like it. 1087 01:04:26.650 --> 01:04:30.230 It's funny for the most part. My mother was okay 1088 01:04:30.269 --> 01:04:31.210 with rock and roll. 1089 01:04:31.230 --> 01:04:33.519 My mother was okay with it. My dad was not. 1090 01:04:33.599 --> 01:04:35.179 Yeah, no, my dad was not. 1091 01:04:36.570 --> 01:04:38.110 And when you think about it, rock and roll, where 1092 01:04:38.130 --> 01:04:40.349 did its origins come from? It came from all of that. 1093 01:04:40.550 --> 01:04:41.090 Yeah. 1094 01:04:41.369 --> 01:04:43.489 You know, as well as the, let's go all the 1095 01:04:43.530 --> 01:04:46.590 way back decades and decades. It came from classical. It 1096 01:04:46.650 --> 01:04:51.309 really is a collection of different genres that were just 1097 01:04:51.329 --> 01:04:53.670 kind of mashed together to create this new one, at 1098 01:04:53.690 --> 01:04:55.010 least that's the way I see it. 1099 01:04:55.010 --> 01:05:00.260 Yeah, that's exactly what it is. Slightly less polished sometimes. Yes, 1100 01:05:00.320 --> 01:05:04.420 I would

agree. I would agree. Unpolished. Yeah. 1101 01:05:06.260 --> 01:05:09.019 If it's too polished, get back to the drawing board. 1102 01:05:09.059 --> 01:05:10.070 There you go. 1103 01:05:10.139 --> 01:05:10.829 Very good, Neil. 1104 01:05:12.090 --> 01:05:16.210 All right. One more to go. My song is titled 1105 01:05:16.449 --> 01:05:22.429 Hit Em Up Style, Stupid Unnecessary Open Parentheses, Oops! Exclamation Point, 1106 01:05:22.630 --> 01:05:27.639 Stupid Unnecessary Closed Parentheses by Blue Cantrell. I hate parentheses 1107 01:05:27.699 --> 01:05:28.139 in titles. 1108 01:05:28.590 --> 01:05:31.690 That's a long title. How did that fit on the. 1109 01:05:32.090 --> 01:05:33.190 Yeah, really? 1110 01:05:34.110 --> 01:05:36.449 You wrote the song. You can't decide whether to put 1111 01:05:36.510 --> 01:05:38.750 words into the title or not. You're leaving it to 1112 01:05:38.769 --> 01:05:42.360 the audience to decide? I don't think so. No parentheses 1113 01:05:42.380 --> 01:05:45.880 in titles. There you go. All right. So this song 1114 01:05:45.940 --> 01:05:49.699 peaked at number two in July 2001, so it's almost 1115 01:05:49.760 --> 01:05:53.920 an oldie because we're old. It's getting there. 1116 01:05:54.719 --> 01:05:55.099 Almost. 1117 01:05:55.260 --> 01:05:55.519 Almost. 1118 01:05:55.559 --> 01:05:58.739 Yeah, but it's still from this century. It is. 1119 01:05:58.780 --> 01:06:03.579 Generally, it's accepted 30 years-ish, unless there's like a major 1120 01:06:03.599 --> 01:06:06.619 style change. So it's coming. Give it five years, and 1121 01:06:06.650 --> 01:06:07.829 then this will be an oldie. 1122 01:06:08.289 --> 01:06:13.949 Oh, I'm an oldie times like two and change. Uh-oh. 1123 01:06:14.070 --> 01:06:14.510 Uh-oh. 1124 01:06:15.070 --> 01:06:15.469 Oh, boy. 1125 01:06:16.550 --> 01:06:19.989 So our song tonight was written by a songwriter named 1126 01:06:20.269 --> 01:06:23.909 Dallas Austin, who is from, anybody want to guess? 1127 01:06:23.929 --> 01:06:24.010 Yeah. 1128 01:06:25.570 --> 01:06:26.610 Minnesota. 1129 01:06:26.650 --> 01:06:27.570 Suburban. 1130 01:06:27.849 --> 01:06:28.650 Hawaii. 1131 01:06:29.309 --> 01:06:30.369 Czechoslovakia. 1132 01:06:31.369 --> 01:06:32.110 Chicago. 1133 01:06:32.929 --> 01:06:37.320 Georgia. That was my next guess. 1134 01:06:37.380 --> 01:06:37.679 Yep. 1135 01:06:38.440 --> 01:06:41.119 He is now 55 years old. As a kid, Dallas 1136 01:06:41.400 --> 01:06:45.110 begged his mom for a keyboard, and she finally relented. 1137 01:06:45.269 --> 01:06:46.929 He enjoyed it so much that he took it to 1138 01:06:46.989 --> 01:06:49.579 school every day with him through high school. To the 1139 01:06:49.619 --> 01:06:52.219 point where his parents thought it was a problem. And 1140 01:06:52.579 --> 01:06:54.619 the school counselor said, you know what? If he's really 1141 01:06:54.699 --> 01:06:57.079 into this, this might not be a bad thing. 1142 01:06:57.159 --> 01:06:58.579 Be

like a keyboard? 1143 01:06:58.679 --> 01:06:59.159 Keyboard. 1144 01:06:59.889 --> 01:07:00.659 Like a big old. 1145 01:07:00.699 --> 01:07:00.949 Yes. 1146 01:07:01.170 --> 01:07:03.690 Actually, you know, there's so many details I was going 1147 01:07:03.710 --> 01:07:06.030 to gloss over. He made an agreement with his... His 1148 01:07:06.070 --> 01:07:09.269 parents owned a nightclub. So he would DJ as a 1149 01:07:09.309 --> 01:07:11.409 kid every once in a while, play some instruments. And 1150 01:07:11.449 --> 01:07:14.429 he really wanted a keyboard. And his mom said, no, 1151 01:07:14.449 --> 01:07:16.030 we're not wasting the money. You're not going to stick 1152 01:07:16.070 --> 01:07:18.260 with it. And they made an agreement. He would start 1153 01:07:18.300 --> 01:07:21.139 with a small one. And as he progressed, she would 1154 01:07:21.179 --> 01:07:23.880 buy better ones. So they would trade in and trade up. So, yes, 1155 01:07:23.920 --> 01:07:26.159 by the time he was going to school with that, 1156 01:07:26.280 --> 01:07:28.800 it was keyboard. Okay. 1157 01:07:29.000 --> 01:07:34.159 Yeah. So he had parents that actually supported him being 1158 01:07:34.199 --> 01:07:34.800 a musician. 1159 01:07:35.480 --> 01:07:38.460 Sort of reluctantly, but, yeah, ultimately they did. 1160 01:07:38.900 --> 01:07:40.079 But he didn't play rock and roll. 1161 01:07:41.119 --> 01:07:42.500 Well, stand by. Okay. 1162 01:07:42.539 --> 01:07:42.659 Okay. 1163 01:07:47.000 --> 01:07:48.559 I can stand corrected. 1164 01:07:49.039 --> 01:07:52.420 So as I mentioned, his parents owned a nightclub. That's 1165 01:07:52.480 --> 01:07:55.579 where he got in front of audiences at first. A 1166 01:07:55.639 --> 01:07:58.619 domestic incident with one of his two brothers actually led 1167 01:07:58.679 --> 01:08:02.010 him to move out of Columbus, Georgia. His brother threw 1168 01:08:02.050 --> 01:08:07.070 his keyboard, which did not go over well. 1169 01:08:07.090 --> 01:08:07.670 It's bad idea. 1170 01:08:07.949 --> 01:08:10.349 It's time for me to leave Columbus, Georgia. So he 1171 01:08:10.409 --> 01:08:13.480 moved to Atlanta to pursue a music career. He worked 1172 01:08:13.519 --> 01:08:15.980 his way into a career with Motown. He worked with 1173 01:08:16.060 --> 01:08:19.449 Boyz II Men. Later on, he worked with Madonna. He 1174 01:08:19.489 --> 01:08:23.210 worked with TLC, Pink, and Gwen Stefani, amongst others. So 1175 01:08:23.350 --> 01:08:25.930 he did all right from training up his little keyboard. 1176 01:08:26.369 --> 01:08:30.569 Did he ever bother to thank his sibling for actually, 1177 01:08:30.609 --> 01:08:30.880 you know? 1178 01:08:31.720 --> 01:08:32.319 I don't know. 1179 01:08:32.880 --> 01:08:37.699 You know what? Yeah, because if he hadn't thrown him 1180 01:08:37.720 --> 01:08:39.239 out of the house, he'd still be in. 1181 01:08:39.800 --> 01:08:41.899 If he hadn't thrown the keyboard and made him leave 1182 01:08:41.979 --> 01:08:42.359 the house. 1183 01:08:42.380 --> 01:08:43.689 Yeah. That's what I'm saying. 1184 01:08:43.859 --> 01:08:45.529 That was the kick in the pants he needed. 1185 01:08:45.609 --> 01:08:45.850 Yeah. 1186 01:08:45.890 --> 01:08:46.090 Yep. 1187 01:08:46.779 --> 01:08:48.640 We all need one. I'm overdue. 1188 01:08:48.640 --> 01:08:51.760 We can take care of that. 1189 01:08:51.760 --> 01:08:55.529 We'll just hold that thought. 1190 01:08:55.529 --> 01:08:57.109 All right, fair enough. 1191 01:08:57.170 --> 01:09:00.439 I'm assuming the position, so go ahead. That's your best shot. 1192 01:09:01.100 --> 01:09:01.529 Go for it. 1193 01:09:02.079 --> 01:09:05.279 So Hit Em Up Style was sung by Blue Cantrell, 1194 01:09:06.039 --> 01:09:10.079 who was born Tiffany Cobb in 1976. She's from Providence, 1195 01:09:10.119 --> 01:09:13.560 Rhode Island. In the 1990s, she was a backup singer 1196 01:09:13.619 --> 01:09:16.180 for a number of R & B groups, and she 1197 01:09:16.220 --> 01:09:19.949 became friends with Usher. Usher introduced her to the right people. 1198 01:09:20.350 --> 01:09:22.850 She wound up getting signed to Arista Records and her 1199 01:09:22.909 --> 01:09:27.710 debut album, So Blue, dropped in 2001. It had great success, 1200 01:09:27.789 --> 01:09:32.010 positive reviews, and this hit-em-up style was the premiere single 1201 01:09:32.270 --> 01:09:35.420 and is still her biggest hit to date. Her second 1202 01:09:35.520 --> 01:09:38.399 album was a critical success but didn't do as well. 1203 01:09:39.399 --> 01:09:44.039 In 2004, her contract with Arista expired and was not renewed. 1204 01:09:44.859 --> 01:09:47.880 Maybe on purpose, maybe not. Hold that thought for a second. 1205 01:09:49.010 --> 01:09:51.050 She then learned that she was not paid as much 1206 01:09:51.090 --> 01:09:53.130 as she should have been during those few years of 1207 01:09:53.189 --> 01:09:56.569 her massive success. Have we heard that story before? 1208 01:09:56.609 --> 01:09:58.800 What a shock. 1209 01:09:59.119 --> 01:10:02.500 Behind the scenes, just before this big success, she was 1210 01:10:02.560 --> 01:10:07.760 linked to Jay-Z, who you've all heard of. Blue and 1211 01:10:07.899 --> 01:10:12.350 Beyonce were both rising at the same time and Jay-Z 1212 01:10:12.590 --> 01:10:18.979 wound up marrying Beyonce. There's the conspiracy theory that Beyonce 1213 01:10:19.100 --> 01:10:24.409 pushed Blue out of the spotlight because she had Jay-Z. Now, 1214 01:10:24.529 --> 01:10:27.770 Jay-Z and Beyonce had a daughter. Anybody know the daughter's name? 1215 01:10:28.470 --> 01:10:28.850 Blue. 1216 01:10:29.250 --> 01:10:31.369 Blue Ivy. Coincidence? 1217 01:10:32.329 --> 01:10:33.270 I think not. 1218 01:10:33.350 --> 01:10:38.909 Probably not. Something nefarious going on? Maybe, maybe not. I 1219 01:10:38.970 --> 01:10:39.430 don't know. 1220 01:10:39.510 --> 01:10:41.069 Not in the music business, no. 1221 01:10:41.090

--> 01:10:42.829 I don't know. I don't know. 1222 01:10:42.949 --> 01:10:43.689 That would be a first. 1223 01:10:43.710 --> 01:10:43.829 Yeah. 1224 01:10:46.640 --> 01:10:48.460 It was at that point that Bluth said that she 1225 01:10:48.500 --> 01:10:50.659 just had to walk away from fame and take some 1226 01:10:50.699 --> 01:10:53.340 time off. She moved to London for a while. She 1227 01:10:53.399 --> 01:10:58.149 performed overseas. And a third album has been pending now 1228 01:10:58.229 --> 01:11:00.909 for 13 years. I don't know if that's ever going 1229 01:11:00.930 --> 01:11:05.510 to come out or not. Unfortunately, in September 2014, she 1230 01:11:05.550 --> 01:11:08.989 was taken into custody in Santa Monica, California, under mental 1231 01:11:09.029 --> 01:11:13.289 health concerns. Witnesses reported that around 2 a.m. she, quote, 1232 01:11:13.479 --> 01:11:16.840 went berserk. and started running around the streets yelling that 1233 01:11:16.920 --> 01:11:20.359 someone had poisoned her with gas, and she kept calling 1234 01:11:20.399 --> 01:11:23.779 herself a one-hit wonder. When the police showed up, she 1235 01:11:23.819 --> 01:11:27.859 kept asking the officers if they recognized her, which maybe 1236 01:11:27.880 --> 01:11:30.840 they did, maybe they didn't, probably not. She wound up 1237 01:11:30.880 --> 01:11:35.119 getting evaluated and released, and she's okay, fortunately. We all 1238 01:11:35.159 --> 01:11:37.979 have our bad days, and unfortunately when you're famous, your 1239 01:11:38.000 --> 01:11:39.840 bad days make the headlines. 1240 01:11:40.340 --> 01:11:40.760 Oh, yeah. 1241 01:11:40.960 --> 01:11:43.310 And, you know, I think that's a little bit unfair. 1242 01:11:44.699 --> 01:11:46.500 You can, but I was trying to find what she's 1243 01:11:46.560 --> 01:11:49.029 up to now. You can book her through her talent agency, 1244 01:11:49.090 --> 01:11:51.510 but I couldn't find any tour dates or anything, so 1245 01:11:51.550 --> 01:11:53.949 I don't know what she's up to now. She is 1246 01:11:54.010 --> 01:11:58.310 reported to do occasional one-off gigs. The last performance I 1247 01:11:58.329 --> 01:12:01.539 found was in 2020, right before COVID. She was doing 1248 01:12:01.579 --> 01:12:04.359 a package tour of R & B singers around London 1249 01:12:04.800 --> 01:12:08.159 in England, and she sounded great. There's YouTube on that. 1250 01:12:08.539 --> 01:12:11.149 There's videos up, so she kept her voice, so good 1251 01:12:11.189 --> 01:12:15.409 for her. So the song itself is a suggestion that 1252 01:12:15.550 --> 01:12:18.729 women should get revenge on their cheating guys by draining 1253 01:12:18.770 --> 01:12:22.560 their bank accounts and relieving them of their assets, which 1254 01:12:22.600 --> 01:12:24.260 I think is a very nice way of putting it. 1255 01:12:25.960 --> 01:12:29.640 Go shopping with friends, run up to credit cards, take 1256 01:12:29.659 --> 01:12:32.930 the car, all that kind of stuff. You get where 1257 01:12:32.949 --> 01:12:36.090 the song is going. This song happens to use a 1258 01:12:36.130 --> 01:12:39.189 sample from the middle of John's pick, Frank Sinatra's version 1259 01:12:39.229 --> 01:12:41.979 of Boy's Night Out. In the beginning and then again 1260 01:12:42.020 --> 01:12:44.020 in the middle of the song. It's actually a sample 1261 01:12:44.060 --> 01:12:46.520 that's kind of buried in the mix, but it's there. 1262 01:12:46.560 --> 01:12:48.399 If you listen for that big band kind of sound, 1263 01:12:48.859 --> 01:12:49.310 you'll hear that. 1264 01:12:49.329 --> 01:12:50.210 Was that intentional? 1265 01:12:50.409 --> 01:12:51.130 It was intentional. 1266 01:12:51.390 --> 01:12:51.609 Yep. 1267 01:12:51.890 --> 01:12:52.250 Oh, okay. 1268 01:12:53.250 --> 01:12:57.069 Yep. And of course, John Song points out that boys 1269 01:12:57.109 --> 01:12:59.250 might be misbehaving, but the girls are out looking for 1270 01:12:59.289 --> 01:13:03.640 the same thing. So, you know, hold the mirror. I 1271 01:13:03.680 --> 01:13:06.819 love the first line of the song. While he was scheming, 1272 01:13:07.119 --> 01:13:10.689 I was beaming in the beamer, just beaming. And then 1273 01:13:10.720 --> 01:13:14.729 it just goes from there. So let's check out Blue 1274 01:13:14.770 --> 01:13:16.350 Cantrell's Hit Em Up style. 1275 01:13:21.899 --> 01:13:24.739 While he was steaming, I was steaming in the Beamer, 1276 01:13:24.760 --> 01:13:25.680 just steaming. 1277 01:13:26.060 --> 01:13:28.359 Can't believe that I caught my man cheating. 1278 01:13:28.699 --> 01:13:31.539 So I found another way to make him pay for 1279 01:13:31.619 --> 01:13:35.010 it all. So I went to Neiman Marcus on a 1280 01:13:35.050 --> 01:13:39.029 shopping spree. And on the way, I grabbed Soleil and Mia. 1281 01:13:39.270 --> 01:13:41.050 And as the cash box rang, I. 1282 01:13:41.029 --> 01:13:43.409 Thought everything away. 1283 01:13:44.390 --> 01:13:47.529 There goes the dreams we used to say. There goes 1284 01:13:47.569 --> 01:13:49.350 the times we spent away. 1285 01:13:49.750 --> 01:13:51.930 There goes the love I had. Bye. 1286 01:13:51.949 --> 01:13:52.029 Bye. 1287 01:14:16.699 --> 01:14:20.229 When you go, then everything goes from the crib to 1288 01:14:20.239 --> 01:14:21.729 the ride in the clothes. 1289 01:14:22.050 --> 01:14:24.630 So you better let him know that if he mess up, 1290 01:14:24.729 --> 01:14:32.920 you gotta hit him up. While he was bragging, I 1291 01:14:32.939 --> 01:14:35.600 was coming down the hill of just a dragon. All 1292 01:14:35.619 --> 01:14:38.920 his pictures and his clothes in the bagging. Sold everything 1293 01:14:39.140 --> 01:14:43.109 else till there was just nothing left. And I paid 1294 01:14:43.430 --> 01:14:46.350 all the bills about a month too late. It's a 1295 01:14:46.390 --> 01:14:48.050 shame we have to play these games. 1296 01:14:48.109 --> 01:14:49.770 The love we.

1297 01:14:49.670 --> 01:14:52.399 Had just fade away, away. 1298 01:14:53.739 --> 01:14:55.279 There goes the dreams we. 1299 01:14:55.239 --> 01:14:56.020 Used to say. 1300 01:14:56.399 --> 01:14:58.619 There goes the times we spent away. 1301 01:14:59.079 --> 01:15:02.439 There goes the love I had, but you cheated on me. 1302 01:15:02.180 --> 01:15:03.819 And that's for that now. 1303 01:15:04.399 --> 01:15:06.579 There goes the house we made a home. 1304 01:15:07.079 --> 01:15:09.239 There goes you'll never leave me alone. 1305 01:15:09.750 --> 01:15:11.670 For all the lies you told. 1306 01:15:11.729 --> 01:15:16.890 This is what you are.

She can project really well. It sounds great. Yeah. 1343 01:17:37.500 --> 01:17:39.220 I can't say I'm a fan of the music that 1344 01:17:39.239 --> 01:17:43.600 she was using, particularly that beatbox or whatever, which drives me. 1345 01:17:43.939 --> 01:17:45.880 Yeah, it drives me nuts too. 1346 01:17:46.039 --> 01:17:48.020 It makes me want to run out and run down 1347 01:17:48.039 --> 01:17:49.300 the street, you know, screaming. 1348 01:17:49.319 --> 01:17:49.390 But. 1349 01:17:50.970 --> 01:17:53.090 Why do I hear my father when you say things 1350 01:17:53.130 --> 01:17:53.770 like that? 1351 01:17:53.789 --> 01:17:58.289 You know, I've reached the age where I could do 1352 01:17:58.350 --> 01:18:01.750 that now. See, it's a generational thing. I've earned the 1353 01:18:01.810 --> 01:18:07.270 right to. And then, no, listen to me. It empowers 1354 01:18:07.310 --> 01:18:10.260 the younger generation. See, the old guy doesn't like it, 1355 01:18:10.310 --> 01:18:13.409 so we're right. You see, the same way we felt about, 1356 01:18:14.189 --> 01:18:17.060 you know, parents, it's horrible rock and roll. We go, see, 1357 01:18:17.260 --> 01:18:17.779 we're right. 1358 01:18:17.800 --> 01:18:19.119 There you go. 1359 01:18:19.220 --> 01:18:19.640 You get it? 1360 01:18:19.640 --> 01:18:19.720 Yeah. 1361 01:18:19.779 --> 01:18:23.920 Yeah. Whether I think it's true or not, I like 1362 01:18:23.960 --> 01:18:26.939 to make... I want the kids to feel like they've 1363 01:18:26.960 --> 01:18:31.880 got their own identity, and every generation has to. That's 1364 01:18:31.960 --> 01:18:32.439 all I'm saying. 1365 01:18:32.479 --> 01:18:36.979 Which is just what Shep Gordon did for Alice Cooper. He, like, 1366 01:18:37.180 --> 01:18:42.270 reinforced that Alice was, you know, a wild man and dangerous, 1367 01:18:43.449 --> 01:18:48.109 and the kids bought into it, you know? The parents 1368 01:18:48.310 --> 01:18:49.130 didn't like it yet. 1369 01:18:49.210 --> 01:18:49.470 I did. 1370 01:18:51.399 --> 01:18:54.060 Parents didn't like it but the kids were like oh 1371 01:18:54.279 --> 01:18:56.720 mom doesn't like this so. 1372 01:18:56.479 --> 01:19:02.189 Yeah that's exactly what I'm saying. 1373 01:19:01.449 --> 01:19:06.590 Yeah love it alright so there you go I think 1374 01:19:06.630 --> 01:19:12.590 that's a wrap tonight yay Can you guess which Cranbone 1375 01:19:12.609 --> 01:19:13.720 was the crankiest tonight? 1376 01:19:16.180 --> 01:19:18.619 Control your enthusiasm there, Gail.
