- 0:17Brought to you by two mums who just bloody love McFly and
- 0:21Busted. I'm Sham.
- 0:23And I'm Tay. And coming up this week we've
- 0:25got no song of the week, no this or that, no lost songs and no
- 0:30McFly in the wild because this week it's album review time.
- 0:34Oh. My God, how exciting.
- 0:36Yes, we have ended both bands first albums.
- 0:39Oh. How's that happened?
- 0:42How's that happened? So yeah, this episode is going
- 0:44to be a full refresher. Deep cut dives, favourites,
- 0:48dislikes and most importantly, where does the the album rank
- 0:53fast? Indeed, I'm so buzzed for this
- 0:56one. But before we get going, let's
- 0:58have our usual catch up. How are you?
- 1:01How's it going? Yeah, I'm not bad.
- 1:05This past week it's been it's been a lot, to be honest.
- 1:08The weather ended with a bang, really, didn't it?
- 1:10One day it was like so weird piercing sunshine.
- 1:13The next day it was piercing rain.
- 1:14It was mad, but we spent the last few days of it like fully
- 1:20immersed in the sunshine. We had my brother visiting us,
- 1:24which was really nice. My uncle Banj came over and
- 1:28built us a bench, which was was, he's built us a bench and it's
- 1:33pretty cool. And then just while he was here,
- 1:35he was like he'd he'd built it and he was like, oh, I might
- 1:40make you some side tables while I'm here.
- 1:42I was like this guy, this. Guy, Man of many talents.
- 1:47His uncle. Man of many talents.
- 1:49Exactly. And then on the last day of half
- 1:51term we had fish and chips and the beach for dinner and we like
- 1:55stayed until it was cold. It was lovely love.
- 1:58That that sounds. It was really nice.
- 2:00Yeah, I'm still waiting for some X-ray results on my ankle, so
- 2:03I'm 0 running. So she's had an X-ray.
- 2:07We haven't really spoke for a few days, have we?
- 2:09It's been a bit chaotic. I know so I was fed up with
- 2:14crying. So I've had an X-ray and I'm
- 2:17waiting for results but very sure should be back soon.
- 2:21I'm back to school and I have been warned that this half term
- 2:24is a really hard one. The last half term.
- 2:28Spring too. Yeah, yeah.
- 2:30I've been told by many, many a teacher this is the hard one.
- 2:34It's the last one in it. Yeah.
- 2:36It is, but it's. I mean, is the summer term is
- 2:39always the hardest. I, I always think the second
- 2:42spring term is the nicest one because it's the middle of the
- 2:44year. Everybody's excited for summer.
- 2:46It's not too hot, it's nice and warm.
- 2:48But as soon as summer term starts and like the first half,
- 2:51it's like, oh. Yeah, it's difficult and then it
- 2:55gets worse. I don't know about other
- 2:58schools. Mine is like jam packed with
- 3:00stuff constantly going on this term.
- 3:02There is so much we've got. And we've just had sports day as
- 3:05well, which is. Yeah, we've just had Sats.
- 3:08Yeah. And now we've got So we've got
- 3:09this in the next 7 weeks. We've got sports day, we've got
- 3:13a summer fair, we've got silent disco, we've got parents
- 3:17evenings, we've got a talent show, we've got a dance contest
- 3:21and house cup awards. And that's just like house cut.
- 3:25That's all I've been told. Can I be invited?
- 3:28Well, but yeah, so many little bits and bobs.
- 3:31I, I I just don't understand how anyone like how I can be bored.
- 3:36Do you know what I mean? Yeah, yeah, I get it.
- 3:38Well, I'm sure it's coming. I'm sure it's going to get hard
- 3:41eventually. Oh, gosh.
- 3:43Well, I'm sure you'll be OK. You'll power through.
- 3:45You're glad to. Glad to hear you're OK.
- 3:47I'm sorry about your foot. That's all right.
- 3:50My week's been OK. It's again with the weather.
- 3:52It's been here and there and Molly's been poorly again.
- 3:55She's got an ear infection, so that's fun.
- 3:58She had a temperature of 39.8 last night.
- 4:00Oh. My goodness.
- 4:03So we were like on like chaos, you know, might have a fit sort
- 4:07of side of things. But she's OK, She's fine.
- 4:09She is, I don't know, she's, she's just a bit all over the
- 4:14place at the moment, but it's fine.
- 4:15She had a little party at her nursery on the weekend, no, on
- 4:18Friday, which is really nice. It's their one year like
- 4:20anniversary thing. So they had like a bouncy castle
- 4:23and it was so nice to just see her like in her element at like
- 4:26her place because obviously I've never really been inside.
- 4:29So it was really nice. Really enjoyed that.
- 4:31We had a couple of evenings on the beach where we went out for
- 4:34a nice dinner. Me, her and Jack the other night
- 4:36went to a little beach bar called Gilbert's, which is so
- 4:39nice, so expensive, but it's so lovely.
- 4:41So yeah, we had a little dinner on the beach and yeah, it's just
- 4:44been sort of like enjoying the weather and being outside and
- 4:46paddling pool and now it looks like this and it's grim.
- 4:49So. Spent the majority of the day
- 4:52inside because it's gross, but other than that we're all good.
- 4:56We roll on. I love that for you.
- 4:58I think there is so much for us to talk about today.
- 5:01And obviously we've already mentioned at the beginning of
- 5:03the pod that this is a review episode, which I'm so excited
- 5:06about. But we're also recording this on
- 5:09TikTok Live. So those of you that haven't
- 5:12realised that we're doing this on TikTok Live and you listen on
- 5:14Spotify and you fancy finding us on TikTok, you can find us at
- 5:18Galaxy Crashes Podcast. And we try to go live every time
- 5:21we do a recording now, but we're a bit sporadic with it recently.
- 5:24So we will hopefully continue to do this every other week as it's
- 5:29a good way for us to sort of interact with you guys while
- 5:32we're recording. So if you are listening and
- 5:34you're thinking you want to give it TikTok live ago, then come
- 5:36over and find us. Shall we start off with Mcfly's
- 5:42album? Absolutely.
- 5:44Let's go. In this section we are going to
- 5:47talk about the album as a whole. Does it work?
- 5:50Do we like it? What bits do we like?
- 5:52And I would like to talk about what my favourite on the album
- 5:56is, because actually when I look at it as a whole, quite a
- 5:59difficult decision. So we'll get there as.
- 6:01Well, I agree. We're also going to talk about
- 6:04our original ratings, how they fare with the rest of the album,
- 6:07and would we change any of our original ratings now.
- 6:11Absolutely. Looking back on them, I felt
- 6:12really odd. I feel like I was a little bit
- 6:15brutal. And finally we're going to look
- 6:16at a list of all the albums by McFly.
- 6:19Where would we place it and sort of what would we rank above it
- 6:23or below it? Look at that as well.
- 6:25So Shannon, let's have a quick chat.
- 6:28What do you think about this album in its entirety?
- 6:33It's OK. Hey, look, look, it's OK.
- 6:40It's. OK, I.
- 6:42If I'm comparing it to other artists, I think it's a
- 6:44brilliant album. If I'm comparing it to other
- 6:46McFly albums, it's OK, I got back.
- 6:50Because we all know you are a radioactive girl.
- 6:56We've we've lived in love. OK, It's OK.
- 7:01So it's mediocre. It's got bangers.
- 7:05It's got one of my only two two it's got.
- 7:10I think I've rated 2 songs on the 710 out of 10.
- 7:13OK, Yeah. And like, there's a couple of
- 7:16nines in there. Like I do think it's a good
- 7:18album, but like, yeah, I'm not the the ones that are rated low
- 7:24for me take the whole album down as a whole.
- 7:27Do you know what I mean? Yeah, I get that.
- 7:29It's. I get that It's very, it's very
- 7:33hits. There are, yeah.
- 7:36It's very overplayed I think as well.
- 7:39A lot of the songs in it are overplayed, but I don't think it
- 7:41takes it away from me. I think I rated like the bangers
- 7:45quite high. I just think the middle of the
- 7:47album for me gets a bit, yeah. You looking at Diana 3 in that
- 7:54middle? So bad, didn't realise how bad
- 7:57it was. They're lower than your ratings.
- 8:00Yeah, Thank you. Thank you.
- 8:02I. Just don't think they're very
- 8:03good, right? We'll get there.
- 8:03We'll get there. OK, so you're mediocre.
- 8:06I I like this album. I really like the beginning.
- 8:09I love the end of this album, like from from like Down by the
- 8:14Lake with with the the Pardon of Unsaid Things.
- 8:19We'll just imagine that's not there.
- 8:23Surfer babe not alone Broccoli bangers.
- 8:25Like the end of the album. I'm well up for the beginning of
- 8:28the album. I'm up for in the middle.
- 8:29It loses a bit of like momentum for me.
- 8:32So I'd say it's not my lowest. I don't think.
- 8:35Well, actually, to be to be fair, I haven't actually thought
- 8:38about my ratings for the other albums yet.
- 8:40So we'll think about we'll get there.
- 8:42We're we're obviously doing like an album review, but we it's the
- 8:45first album review so we can't. I feel like as we go along and
- 8:48do the next album review, things might shift a little bit the
- 8:51more we move along. I think we should.
- 8:53Like move what songs there are. Yeah, I think we should envision
- 8:56it as this is in the middle. And then when we go on to
- 8:59Wonderland, is it above or below this?
- 9:01Or below. That's a great and.
- 9:03Then is the next one above or below?
- 9:05Above. Below.
- 9:06Yeah. Yeah, yeah, OK, I'm here for it.
- 9:08So yeah, middle, middle, but not like, I wouldn't say it's
- 9:12mediocre. I'd say it's it's a good album,
- 9:14but not my favourite. Does that work?
- 9:17Yeah, yeah. Shall we, shall we give, should
- 9:20we give the whole album a rating?
- 9:24OK. Yeah, like an average.
- 9:26You go first. What it's your idea?
- 9:30OK Joe, OK, I'm going to give the album a 7.5.
- 9:38OK, I. Think it's quite good looking at
- 9:42my ratings, thinking about the bangers, thinking about the
- 9:44live, thinking about what they mean to me on the nostalgia
- 9:47level. I think it has to be, yeah, a
- 9:517.5, maybe a 7. But was it was 7.5?
- 9:57No, it's a 7. It's a 7.
- 9:58I'm trying. I'm sorry.
- 9:59I'm thinking about what's coming next.
- 10:00And I'm like, oh, I've rated it at 7:00.
- 10:01That's quite high. I my rating for this album.
- 10:07This is so off the cuff because I have not thought about this
- 10:10and I might end up changing it next week but I'm going to rate
- 10:15it a say. OK, I thought it was going to be
- 10:20worse than that. I can write a six OK.
- 10:24There are no albums I think the McFly have done that are under
- 10:27A5. Oh God, 100% no way.
- 10:30Yeah, no. Way so I write this one I'm
- 10:31going to write so. Really.
- 10:33So really you're rating it A2 because none of them are under
- 10:38A5. So if you're rating it from 1:00
- 10:40to 5:00, this is the the bottom end of the scale.
- 10:43Don't. Don't, don't, don't do that.
- 10:46To me, no. OK, I'm so sorry.
- 10:49OK. I can't write a McFly of a 2 out
- 10:53of 10. This is a six.
- 10:54OK, it's a six for it. I would say that if there were
- 10:58certain songs that were not on this album, it might have been
- 11:01below A5. OK.
- 11:04And also if there were other songs that were not on this
- 11:06album, it might have been in the top like 3.
- 11:10But there we go. That's how written an album
- 11:13works, I guess. Oh my goodness.
- 11:16OK, well, I I agree. I think we're all right.
- 11:18Shall we have a think about what we originally rated the songs?
- 11:23Yeah. And then, oh, Ben.
- 11:29Are you my 7 year old child? You don't know how how
- 11:33frustrating that comment is as a teacher, because for those of
- 11:39you listening on Spotify that have not joined our TikTok live
- 11:43that Mister Ben's got has just commented.
- 11:45So between you, it's 6-7. And if you're not down with the
- 11:49kids like we are, you know, honestly just ruin, let's ruin
- 11:54my day. It's ruined my day.
- 11:57But yeah, 6-7, we're going to have a little look at our
- 12:01original ratings and think about what we would we change.
- 12:06Them. Would we change them?
- 12:07Are we happy to keep them where they are?
- 12:08OK, so I'm going to remind you of your rating and you're going
- 12:12to remind me of mine, and then we'll think about where we're
- 12:14at. Does that work?
- 12:15OK, that's fine. I think I'm going to be very
- 12:18hated. OK Miss Shannon Johns 45 colours
- 12:22in her hair you rated A4. Explain yourself.
- 12:29I think it is the most overrated McFly song in history.
- 12:35I don't because I like the riff. Don't don't do this to me.
- 12:42I like the riff. I like, I want to say I like the
- 12:47kicks. That's Star Girl.
- 12:50I like the riff. I like the the like the when
- 12:53they're live, the little bum shaking.
- 12:55I like the I like the confetti. The whole of those things are
- 13:00things I like live, yeah. They're not things that I I
- 13:04don't experience confetti every time I listen to the song.
- 13:06Very true and your live rating? Was a 10.
- 13:09So yeah, you know, I would rate this song.
- 13:13Now, looking back at what I've rated the rest of the album, I'd
- 13:19go lower. Shannon, I, I think I'd rate it
- 13:24a three, maybe a 2. No, you cannot rate $5 in a
- 13:31head. Live 10 out of 10.
- 13:34Live please, Please remember Live 10 out of 10.
- 13:38Guys, those of you that are here listening, you better comment on
- 13:41this video and tell Shannon how awful she is.
- 13:44You cannot write 5. You're going to have a go at me
- 13:46for my 2 because I wrote. I rated a song or two, but it's
- 13:49one of the worst ones on the album.
- 13:51No, it is the worst one on the album and I think a lot of
- 13:54people will agree with me. So I don't think anybody,
- 13:57anybody out there was going, yeah, 5 colours and their hairs
- 13:59are two. It's a skip song for me.
- 14:03I skip it unless it's on the radio.
- 14:05The only time I ever listen to Five Colours and a Hair is if
- 14:08it's spontaneously come on the radio and I'm like.
- 14:13When you're in as, it's. The only time.
- 14:15I'm voice noting you Shannon. 5 colours is playing in Asda.
- 14:18Yeah, exactly. That's the only time I'm dancing
- 14:21through. I'm dancing through the aisles.
- 14:24Well. But I disappointed in you.
- 14:26But is it only because it's overplayed that you think it's a
- 14:29it's a 2. Is there anything about the song
- 14:31that you think you would like, you know, rate that low?
- 14:36This is making me quite sad. Ben.
- 14:38Oh. It.
- 14:39Gets better, Ben, I promise. I promise you it gets better.
- 14:42I mean it gets bad as. Well, do you know what if I'm
- 14:45comparing it to other music, I just think this is one of the
- 14:50worst McFly songs. This is the best.
- 14:53It's not like important thing to remind listeners of yeah, when
- 14:57we are ranking these songs and when ranking them low, we are
- 15:00ranking them in terms of McFly songs.
- 15:02We are not saying McFly. 5 colours on her hair compared to
- 15:06I don't know, Jason Derülo. Is a is a 10 out of 10.
- 15:10Like every McFly song versus any other song in the universe is a
- 15:1410 out of 10. However, when we're comparing
- 15:17them to the other McFly universe songs, that's where we're
- 15:20ranking them. So we don't want you all
- 15:22thinking that we hate McFly, because we don't.
- 15:24We absolutely love them, and I would listen to any McFly song
- 15:27over any band any day. I mean, we'd have to fight a
- 15:30little bit for our Tay Tay, but it's fine.
- 15:33Can I just say I've just got a notification saying invite James
- 15:36Bond to join as a guest? Please do.
- 15:40Come on. Come on, my man.
- 15:42How are you? Imagine if he just joined and we
- 15:45were just. Like and I was like 5 colours in
- 15:48the house or two. It's fine.
- 15:51He probably he probably doesn't care.
- 15:52It's not his band. Send him a message and be like,
- 15:56do you want to come back next week?
- 15:57James for bus can. I invite.
- 15:59I've I've invited. Imagine I would lose my.
- 16:05Yet what would we even do? We'd just go.
- 16:11You're right, my man, you're right, my man.
- 16:13So anyway, your rating. OK, your.
- 16:17Rating was for five colours and a hair was 6/6.
- 16:22Do you stand? I I do a stand, a stand, a six.
- 16:27I think I really like 5 colours. It's one of those songs that I
- 16:31he would definitely care. Well, obviously, yes, he wrote,
- 16:33he wrote the song, but it's not his band songs.
- 16:35He probably wouldn't be as bothered as you know, the
- 16:38Busters Isling sorry I've got to stop commenting on comments
- 16:42because the people listening to this on Spotify are going to be
- 16:44like what the hell is this e-mail sorry I did vote I did
- 16:48vote I did rate it a six. I agree with my rating.
- 16:51I feel like I I think it's AI think it's a fair rating.
- 16:55I rated it a six. I do believe that I rated it
- 16:59fairly. I feel like compared to other
- 17:02McFly songs, it's is overplayed. It's a very good song and like
- 17:07you said, live is 10 out of 10. You cannot direct rank it lower
- 17:11than 10 out of 10 live because it is unbelievable.
- 17:13But compared to some of the other songs on this album, which
- 17:17like the later on songs that aren't overplayed, that when you
- 17:20hear them you're like Oh my God. Like when they played Surfer
- 17:23Babe lost my actual shit. Like I lost all control of my
- 17:29body. Like I was just like a flailing
- 17:31jellyfish. I was just so excited.
- 17:34Just remember how excited it was.
- 17:36I don't feel that way when I hear 5 Colours because I know
- 17:38they're going to play it. I know that it's going to
- 17:41happen. And like we've said before, when
- 17:43it comes on, I'm not like 05 colours, I'm like 05 colours.
- 17:47You know? I know, I know it's coming on.
- 17:49It's the first song on the playlist and you click on This
- 17:51is McFly, it's the first song on the playlist.
- 17:53So it's just one of those. It's overplayed, but I still
- 17:56love it. It's it's trademark.
- 17:58Do you think of book? Yeah, I completely, I completely
- 18:01agree the. Theme tune to our podcast is
- 18:04based on that song. Like we took the vibe of that
- 18:08song and we created the theme tune based around that.
- 18:10So you know. People I will say if they didn't
- 18:13do 5 colours in a hair life I would be like what the fuck is 5
- 18:16colours in a hair? I would be disappointed.
- 18:19Can I just say also you've. Rated it a 22.
- 18:25There's your two Where's a salad?
- 18:27There's a salad. There.
- 18:30And can I also just say that the AI summary, sorry, to go back to
- 18:33TikTok, the AI summary and our TikTok says rating Moby Dick's
- 18:37popular album, Share your album rate.
- 18:41I don't know what's going on, Moby Dick.
- 18:45OK, I didn't know Moby Dick had an album.
- 18:47I thought maybe Dick was a a story.
- 18:49Isn't it a story? He thinks I'm not.
- 18:52I don't know what's going on. Oh, thank you.
- 18:54Thanks a little heart so. Sweet.
- 18:57Thank you. OK, shall we move on?
- 19:00Because we're already half an hour into this episode and we
- 19:03have only reached the first song.
- 19:06The second song, the second song on this album is Obviously and
- 19:10Shannon. You've rated Obviously A6.
- 19:14I did a very first one. I think I would lower this
- 19:18rating. Oh, Shannon, are you going to do
- 19:21this to all of them? Only because do you know what?
- 19:28No, actually, I wouldn't. I wouldn't.
- 19:30I think I'd stick it as a six. I have emotional attachment to
- 19:35this song. I this song I remember burning
- 19:41onto ACD and it was the most frustrating thing ever.
- 19:45I remember I'd burn the song from Limewire onto a mixtape
- 19:49kind of CD situation and it would always skip It would like
- 19:54go during it go. Recently I've been totally where
- 19:59would it do it would do it out with this girl.
- 20:02She's out of this world. And it would, it would go.
- 20:04And now even when I listen to it, I do that.
- 20:09OK so your CD skipping ruin this song for you, is that what
- 20:12you're saying? This CD skipping made it
- 20:14nostalgic for me. I listened to this song and I'm
- 20:19like, oh, remember, Remember Limewire, remember, you know all
- 20:25that jazz. I this, it's like very nostalgic
- 20:29to me. Also it's I'm pretty sure it's
- 20:31my brother's favourite McFly song.
- 20:33So when this came on when we were younger, I was allowed to
- 20:36listen to it because we both liked McFly.
- 20:39It as well. That's better.
- 20:40That's good. I appreciate.
- 20:42Are we rating songs or we rating trauma?
- 20:44Hey, they go hand in hand in this.
- 20:46House, I love it. I think that's fair.
- 20:51I think 6 is fair. Yeah.
- 20:52OK, cool. Yeah.
- 20:54It's probably my highest rating, like a popular song from this
- 21:00album, I would say. How do you know?
- 21:02No, no, no, it's not. No, it's not.
- 21:03No, it's. Not Emma says.
- 21:06Oh, M, sorry, M says. I can remember driving my
- 21:08parents mad listening to obviously on repeat.
- 21:11I think they've definitely all done that.
- 21:13Oh, 100 percent, 100%. So you rated this on A7?
- 21:18That's not Ben. Don't get your numbers out
- 21:21again. Do you agree?
- 21:25I think I'm yeah, I think I'm happy with it.
- 21:29I think I'm happy with the seven.
- 21:30I feel like I like obviously better than 5 Colours just
- 21:35because I like the singing aspect of it.
- 21:37I think it's more of a singy song.
- 21:39Yeah, it is. And I quote sing along able.
- 21:44Sing along able. From one of our previous
- 21:46episodes which I'm adding. I'm.
- 21:48Adding to the dictionary as a is it an adjective?
- 21:51Yeah, it's sing along able. It's an adjective.
- 21:54I'm here for it. I feel I like to like the I like
- 21:57the sing along aspect of it. And yeah, musically it's just a
- 22:00nice song. But again, it is one of those
- 22:02ones that's overplayed and it gets a little bit like, you
- 22:06know. Next up, we have the title
- 22:10track, which is room on the third floor.
- 22:13Shannon, you gave this A5. She's a bit sad.
- 22:18I probably should have given it a three.
- 22:23Hey, I like the Nanas. I'm shook.
- 22:26Na na na, is that the same song I like?
- 22:29The lyrics, I think the lyrics are funny.
- 22:32They do Nanas so much. I just did na na na na.
- 22:36Yeah, like is that the right song?
- 22:39Because they do nanas so many times all.
- 22:41The time I remember. Which one's which?
- 22:43That is the right one. Yeah, OK.
- 22:45We're OK. We're OK.
- 22:47I like, I like the Nanas, I like the lyrics.
- 22:50I think it's fun. Do I think that it's up there on
- 22:55this album? Absolutely not.
- 22:58OK, yeah, I maybe. Maybe actually, maybe not three.
- 23:02Maybe I would give it a four. It's not mid.
- 23:05This is not mid on the album for me.
- 23:07OK, it's below mid on the album, but on the like single songs,
- 23:14it's on this album. It's probably one of the best
- 23:16ones, but I I can't rate it higher than A5.
- 23:22Yeah, I can't rate higher than four, sorry.
- 23:24OK, OK, I actually do think I would probably lower my rating
- 23:30for this song. You rating 7.
- 23:33Yeah, I rated it at 7. And actually, when I'm thinking
- 23:35about all the songs on the album and what I've rated the others,
- 23:37I don't like Room on the 3rd Floor as much as I like.
- 23:40Obviously I like the song and I think if it had a music video, I
- 23:45feel like I would like it more because I feel like it was like
- 23:49it was such a good excuse for a music video.
- 23:51Why didn't they do a music video of this?
- 23:53It's the title track. It's the title track of the
- 23:55song. And they didn't.
- 23:56They did a music video. Yeah, but it was rubbish, that's
- 24:00what I mean. It was.
- 24:01It wasn't a music video, it was just them as like little plastic
- 24:04doll figurines they weren't even doing.
- 24:06Anything. Buy the shit out of that though.
- 24:07I know the shit out of that. I know you loved that you loved
- 24:11it anyway, but I think for me it there was so much potential for
- 24:15it to be a really good music video with the lyrics and the
- 24:17story that they're telling. And the storytelling aspect of
- 24:20it is why I'd still rate it as 6, not a set then.
- 24:25So I've moved it down one. I'm going to go to six.
- 24:27I just think overall on the album, I think I'm happy to give
- 24:29it a six. I think it's got, yeah, it's got
- 24:32that storytelling aspect, but it just didn't quite hit with the
- 24:35others. Also, it's nice to know that
- 24:37other people on the TikTok live agree with me in the fact that
- 24:41they didn't do what they could have done with the music.
- 24:43Video The music video was awful. I still don't know what they
- 24:46were thinking with that music video.
- 24:47Me neither. What was that about?
- 24:49I think it was a budget saving music video.
- 24:51They didn't have to do it. Feels very like graphics.
- 24:54The music video feels very like we're doing really well.
- 24:56Let's throw a video out really quickly.
- 24:58Yeah, it's like GCS, e.g, CSE, graphic design coding.
- 25:07Absolutely. Again, right Would still buy it.
- 25:09Yeah, I know. And we would.
- 25:11We, of course we would. It's McFly we'd buy and they
- 25:13could literally sell toilet roll with their faces on it and I'd
- 25:16buy it. I would 100%.
- 25:19Buy it very strange thing to be for me to put in my name.
- 25:22I'm not sure I'd want to. Be you need the toilet.
- 25:26Using toilet roll with their faces on it.
- 25:29I mean, closest I'm ever going to get.
- 25:34Who do I think I am? I'm disgusting.
- 25:36I'm so. Sorry, who do you think you are?
- 25:37It's. Getting out of hand.
- 25:40Should we go to that girl? We probably should move on.
- 25:44Yes, I I'm so happy we rated this the same.
- 25:48So we actually both rated this eight.
- 25:51Love that girl. Absolutely.
- 25:52Love, love, love because it's one of those high energy songs.
- 25:57It's funny. The music video is absolutely 10
- 26:01out of 10 love the music video. It's Tom in the booth and he's
- 26:04like that little bit where there's no music and they were
- 26:07looking at her like you OK, dude, I love it.
- 26:09It's Danny and his like weird, inappropriate girl that is with
- 26:13him. That's just where it's all a bit
- 26:15strange, isn't it? But I love it.
- 26:16I'm here for it. It's very chaotic.
- 26:18It's very McFly. It's my favourite hit on this
- 26:23album for sure. This song is like I liked McFly
- 26:27before this. I loved McFly after.
- 26:29After it was definitely one of those songs that I would go to
- 26:33find on my MP3 player. Yeah, searching for it.
- 26:38Absolutely, 100%. Can we also say that girl?
- 26:43I don't feel like that girl was as overplayed as 5 colours or.
- 26:47Obviously I completely agree. I agree, and maybe it's because
- 26:51the music video for room on the 3rd floor was so shit.
- 26:55People stop playing music. Well, let's hope not.
- 26:59I mean, we didn't, obviously. The people.
- 27:01I think that girl, I don't think it gets as much praise as it
- 27:06should. 100% even. Now, yeah, am I?
- 27:10Obviously it's played. It's not always played on their
- 27:13setlist, but it is a good one. Did they play it busted versus
- 27:15McFly? I don't think they did Did they
- 27:19don't. Think so.
- 27:21I don't think I've had that girl live for a long time.
- 27:24Yeah, I think it's a good one live because it's no they.
- 27:27I think they did. No, they didn't.
- 27:29No, they didn't. No, they did.
- 27:32Yes, they did. Everybody's disagreeing.
- 27:34Nobody can remember. I thought they did.
- 27:37I had a little thing in the back of my head where I was just
- 27:39like, I'm sure I can remember screaming that girl.
- 27:44Oh. I love.
- 27:45You. I was just like trying not to
- 27:47vomit because I was so high up. I just.
- 27:49Yeah, you were at the back. You missed out.
- 27:50I I love it live. I feel like it's very.
- 27:54I mean, it's it's all of them. That's what when I think about
- 27:57that girl, I think that I think about Harry and Dougie as well
- 28:01as Tom and Danny. Whereas like when I listen to I
- 28:05feel like 5, even 5 colours. 5 Colours is very much a Tom and
- 28:10Danny song and obviously they're the main singers.
- 28:12But I do. And obviously Dougie sings and,
- 28:15but Harry's always playing the drums.
- 28:17But I doubt, I don't feel like I focus on Dougie as much.
- 28:19I feel like I'm always looking at Tom.
- 28:21I'm always looking at Danny during those songs.
- 28:23Whereas in that gal, I feel like I'm I'm looking at all of them.
- 28:25I feel like I'm involved with all of them.
- 28:27And I love that. I feel like it's a real a song
- 28:30that like brings them together as a band and it is chaotic and
- 28:33it is exciting and it's very like, I don't know, it's just,
- 28:36it's just lovely. It's a bubbly.
- 28:38It's so good. It's probably one of my top
- 28:40five. No, I'm not going to say that.
- 28:43Actually, scratch that. I know it is.
- 28:45If you look at the ratings on the album, it's in your top
- 28:47five. I was going to say all the time.
- 28:5100. I don't think it is, but like,
- 28:53if I'm thinking nostalgically, it is, yes.
- 28:56That's why it's not myself. It's a very bold thing.
- 28:58OK, let's move on to Oh no things I'm going to get told off
- 29:02next. I'm going to get told off.
- 29:05Shannon, your rating for the next song was a 7 and that song
- 29:09was Hypnotised. I stand by it.
- 29:15I think dramatic voice. I might move it to a six, OK,
- 29:22Just because whilst I'm sat here and I'm thinking of the songs, I
- 29:25can only hear the chorus in my head.
- 29:28Whereas like if I think about the other songs, I can hear
- 29:31everything. Or as you know, it's not even
- 29:33the chorus. I can hear it.
- 29:33It's just Danny's first, Yeah, I think I would give it a six now.
- 29:42I still think it is the top end of the album as opposed to the
- 29:46bottom end, OK. But I think actually saying
- 29:51that, looking at my ratings now, they're all kind of top end.
- 29:56Are we? Looking at the same songs.
- 29:59It's just a soggy a sort, a soggy front.
- 30:03Considering that your rating for the album is only A5.
- 30:08I stand by it. My ratings might change.
- 30:11I. Feel like your ratings are quite
- 30:13considering that you've like, I'm looking at all your ratings
- 30:17and actually your lowest rating on this album is a four, which
- 30:21is now a new two. Yeah, but I feel like that's the
- 30:24only one that you rated low and you've rated this whole album
- 30:27A5. I feel like you've got some
- 30:29thinking to do, babe. I don't think I do.
- 30:31I think I think I'm going to change some of my ratings.
- 30:34I think that's what's going to happen.
- 30:36I thought my average is probably about right.
- 30:38OK, so you have changed your 7 to a six for hypnotised?
- 30:41Yeah, yeah, yeah. OK.
- 30:45Do you want to tell people what I rated this?
- 30:47Taylor rated this a three. I don't like this song.
- 30:55Can I tell you all as well? I get so much stick.
- 30:57Taylor's 3 isn't even her lowest rated song on this album.
- 31:05Now I can see it, I I feel like I may owe you an apology.
- 31:10Annie says how dare you? Sorry, Annie, I'm, I apologise.
- 31:17I I think, yeah, I think I probably, I probably was a bit
- 31:22mean to you about your ratings, but I think it's because you
- 31:25went in so hard on five colours. You were like 4.
- 31:28It was our first episode. Stand by.
- 31:30Four and now you've turned that into a 2.
- 31:33I think I was a bit shook and I was like, how on earth?
- 31:36And then we got to hypnotise and I was like, oh God, I don't like
- 31:39this song. It's not three though.
- 31:43Taylor, come on. It's definitely 3.
- 31:46Stand by it, stand by it. It's boring.
- 31:50It's boring. It's very like, no, I'm.
- 31:56I'm bored. I'm bored.
- 31:58Sorry. Love you guys, love you, but no.
- 32:02No comment. No comment at all.
- 32:06I just think I do feel it's a bit boring.
- 32:08I do feel like it's not one of those songs I want to listen to.
- 32:11I don't feel like it's a bit dreary.
- 32:13Do you know what I mean? How does the core receiver go?
- 32:17I can't. I can't.
- 32:18I don't remember the. Chorus.
- 32:19I can't hear it in my head trying to stick up.
- 32:21There you go, there you go. You're trying to stick up for
- 32:24your song that you've rated A7 and I rated it a three and
- 32:27you're like, oh, can't even remember the chorus.
- 32:29You really love it, don't you? I.
- 32:32Do I do? I just remember the the verse
- 32:36and I'm like, no, I'm OK, I'm cool.
- 32:42No, I mean, it's not an awful song.
- 32:44There are definitely worst McFly songs and there are definitely
- 32:46worst busted songs, but still a three happy, happy with my
- 32:50three. Shall we move on?
- 32:54Let's lift everybody up because we didn't do too bad for the
- 32:56next song. Do you want to introduce next
- 32:59song? Saturday night, Saturday night,
- 33:04I'm I'm here for it. Love Saturday night.
- 33:06Yeah, the rating was 7.5. I think that's quite good, don't
- 33:13you? Think I think that's good.
- 33:14I think that's good. I yeah, I think that's good.
- 33:18I I feel like Saturday night is one of those songs that even the
- 33:22beginning, I'm just trying to think about the opening lyrics.
- 33:26Do you know what I can hear in my head when I say the word
- 33:28Saturday night? I can hear Saturday night in the
- 33:31city. Saturday night.
- 33:37Saturday night. That's all I can hear.
- 33:39With my parents out of town, I got all my buddies around, said
- 33:41we're going to have a party tonight.
- 33:43If your dad has got the truck, what's the next bit?
- 33:46Then I'll come and pick you up. Anyone else to come?
- 33:52And if you want to have a drink, there's a balance by the sink.
- 33:55But 20,000 people inside. It's a good song.
- 33:57It's a good song. I feel like it's very teen.
- 34:01I'm drunk in a field, Mum doesn't know where I am.
- 34:04Angst. Like should be.
- 34:05On America, I was going to say America's Next.
- 34:08I wonder what I meant to say was American Pie.
- 34:10Yeah, exactly. Should be on American Pie.
- 34:13Exactly. And I would definitely like to
- 34:15highlight here that Gemma has said on our TikTok the song, she
- 34:19loves the song, but there are some questionable lyrics by
- 34:21today's standard, which is actually something that if you
- 34:24haven't listened to the. Episode talked about.
- 34:26Definitely go and listen to the episode because we talked about,
- 34:29we talked about the lyrics. Well, they're a bit, they're a
- 34:32bit questionable. The the main bit was something
- 34:36about them going around the back of the shed.
- 34:38Can you remember that? Yeah.
- 34:41And if it's going to your head? Goes to Get laid.
- 34:44Yeah, if it's going to your head, get behind the garden
- 34:47shed. If the if, if this, if the
- 34:50drinks going to your head, go behind the garden shed because
- 34:53there's loads of people shrugging back there.
- 34:55That's going to make you feel better.
- 34:58I think it's more like I'm not a catch, but you're drunk now so
- 35:04you'll sleep with me. Bit weird.
- 35:08A bit weird. Not saying it's not weird, a bit
- 35:11weird, but. It was the naughties.
- 35:13A lot of these things were overlooked, so let's leave it at
- 35:17that. You rated it an 8.5, so you
- 35:22really love this song. I think I'd changed that rating.
- 35:26Oh, lower. I think I'd, I think I'd give it
- 35:29a nine. A nine, OK.
- 35:33And the only reason why it's a nine and not a 10 is because of
- 35:38those questionable lyrics. Like I love this song.
- 35:42It's a banger. It's one of those songs where
- 35:44it's like, I can't, I actually can't skip it.
- 35:48The only thing that the only thing that is stopping it being
- 35:51a 10 is the lyrics. I love this song.
- 35:56It I cannot skip it. I wish they played it live more
- 35:59often. It gets my legs moving.
- 36:01It gets my head. Bobby My.
- 36:03Booty gets my booty going. OK, OK, I'll let you have that.
- 36:11That's fine. I'm, I'm, you know, not going to
- 36:13question it. Your decision is your decision.
- 36:15I'm going to stick with my I'm going to stick with my 7.5.
- 36:18I feel like it's good. I don't feel like it's the best,
- 36:20but I feel like it's good. We're going to move on to the
- 36:23next song again, I'm going to get told off.
- 36:26This is my other lowest song on the album.
- 36:28They're all they're not bad. After this, there's one more.
- 36:31The next song is Met This Girl. Shannon, you rated Met This girl
- 36:35of 6, which actually for you is probably the lower end of the
- 36:39scale. Why?
- 36:41I actually would change this rating again, I think.
- 36:44I think The thing is when we record these podcasts, I listen
- 36:48to the song and I'm like, Oh yeah, that's a good one.
- 36:50And then I rate it higher than I think I should.
- 36:55I think I'd rate this 4 now. OK, big change then.
- 36:59Two point difference. Yeah.
- 37:02Oh, OK. I think this is a good song.
- 37:05I just, yeah, I don't think I could rate it higher than Room
- 37:12on the Third Floor, OK, which is why I'm rating it at the same
- 37:17level as room on the third floor.
- 37:18Go into a four again, OK, that's fine.
- 37:21I'm going to definitely upset some people now.
- 37:25Taylor rated it a two guys. Taylor rated it 2.
- 37:32I rated it A2. Met this girl.
- 37:36I just, I'm sorry, I know it's low.
- 37:40I'm really sorry. The thing is with me is I just,
- 37:43it's just, the lyrics are just a bit naff in my head.
- 37:46Like I just think like, well, I met this girl just the other
- 37:53day. I don't regret the things that
- 37:56are said now when we're laughing and joking with each other now,
- 38:00I don't even remember how it goes and it doesn't flow and it
- 38:03doesn't really rhyme and it doesn't really work as a song.
- 38:09You can Click to it. I do like that you like.
- 38:13Yes, you can Click to it. Of course you can.
- 38:15The bit that I can get on board with this, when she walks in the
- 38:18room, my heart goes boom. Love, love it, love that bit.
- 38:25The rest of the song, not so much the can we just talk about
- 38:29the bridge? Can we talk about the bridge?
- 38:34First time that I saw her, she stole my heart.
- 38:37And if we were together, nothing would tear us apart.
- 38:39That's it. That's the bridge it.
- 38:41Is there only has to be two lines?
- 38:43Because it's banger. It's not enough.
- 38:47Don't have to. You don't have to elaborate on
- 38:49that. It is not good enough.
- 38:51Nothing could tear them apart. Very strong Taylor Swift bridge
- 38:56fan. Bridges are important, don't
- 38:59fuck them up. This wasn't a good bridge.
- 39:04I. Just wasn't.
- 39:05I wasn't here for it. I really wasn't here for it.
- 39:07I just feel like, OK, yeah, it's low.
- 39:09It's a low song for me. It's a skip, skip.
- 39:12Sticking with the 2. I feel I don't feel like I need
- 39:14to change that tool. OK, we'll move on.
- 39:17Let's have some some more positivity in the room, shall
- 39:19we? Let's move on to.
- 39:20She left me. Shannon, you rage.
- 39:21She left me a nine. I was wrong.
- 39:28I just told that we were going to be more positive.
- 39:31I think I remember we recorded, she left me with.
- 39:36Did we record it with Mcflyde? We we did, yes.
- 39:41And I went on such. I was like, I have to stick up
- 39:46we. Were on a hype.
- 39:47Nobody liked it. Yeah, we were on a bit of a hype
- 39:49because we were buzzed having them on and it was really, it
- 39:51was a really fun episode. Yeah, Yeah, OK.
- 39:54It should have been a six. It was six.
- 39:58Wow. That's a three-point difference,
- 40:00Shannon. It's a good song.
- 40:03Wow. Is it better than?
- 40:07Is it better than broccoli? No.
- 40:11Is it better than hypnotised? No.
- 40:13Is it better than? Obviously no.
- 40:18I, I also feel like I'm going to drop it.
- 40:21I'm going to drop it to a six. I rated it A7.
- 40:23I'm going to drop it to a six just because I feel like I've
- 40:26rated Room on the Third Floor A6.
- 40:30Now my new rating for it is a six and I I don't think I like
- 40:33this song more than I like Room on the Third Floor.
- 40:36I will say I dance around my kitchen to this song like you
- 40:40would not believe. I am in a 50s movie doing a slow
- 40:44dance in a ballroom when this song comes on.
- 40:46Oh OK, nice. Yeah, it's got bad vibes.
- 40:49Dancing on my kitchen tiles, yeah.
- 40:51It's got that vibe. I don't know, it's just it's one
- 40:54of those I like. I like the.
- 40:58Can we just talk about my favourite bit in this song?
- 41:01I've left messages after the tone beep.
- 41:03Really. Yeah, man.
- 41:04Loads. Yeah, man.
- 41:05Loads. That's my FA.
- 41:08I could give that A7 just for that line.
- 41:10Danny's. Yeah, man.
- 41:11Loads. Yeah, man, Loads.
- 41:14Like, dude, you're from Bolton. You don't.
- 41:17Speak like that. Yeah, man loads.
- 41:20Really. Yeah, man, loads, which is so
- 41:24funny. They were trying to get that
- 41:25acting job. All right.
- 41:27Yeah. I know they were trying to.
- 41:28They were. They won their just my luck
- 41:30hype. I get it.
- 41:31But no, it's still a good song. Still, I think it's a good.
- 41:35I think it's a strong six, absolutely, but again, not one
- 41:39that I go out of my way to listen to.
- 41:40It's not one that I like get in the car and go.
- 41:42I really want to listen to She Left Me.
- 41:44Whereas like I do think occasionally I put Saturday
- 41:46Night on or I put that girl on because it's something that I
- 41:49think I'd like to listen to that right now.
- 41:51I don't feel like I do that with She Left Me, but I do think it's
- 41:53a good song. It does deserve a six.
- 41:56OK. I know that there's going to be
- 41:58a few people that are appreciative of the next song.
- 42:00The next song is Down by the Lake.
- 42:07Do you want to start with your rating because Shannon gave this
- 42:10song A10. And I would not change it
- 42:20wouldn't change it. Down by the Lake is my one of my
- 42:29favourite songs. I I there are no notes.
- 42:36I love this song. OK, none.
- 42:39What do you like about it? Just everything.
- 42:44Is it like the vocals, do you think?
- 42:45Do you? Is it the the lyrics more than
- 42:47like the performance value of it genuinely?
- 42:52I think, you know how I said about lies, how I love lies, but
- 42:56I wish they didn't do it live so much because I, I'm not
- 43:02surprised by it anymore. I just, I'm expecting it.
- 43:06I want to expect this song live. I want to see them perform this
- 43:09song live. I think the vibe of this song is
- 43:12so fun. It's so nostalgic.
- 43:16It's so it's just rooted from like a story.
- 43:20Like it's so story driven. Yes.
- 43:22Story driven. Yeah, Yeah.
- 43:24And we're have a story. Story driven song, Yeah.
- 43:28I think this should have been a single.
- 43:29I feel very lucky that it's not because it's something that only
- 43:33real people that I was going to say, real fans, but like only
- 43:37people that have bought the album and listened to the album.
- 43:40Know. But it's good enough to be a
- 43:42single, I think. I think it's so good.
- 43:45I think it is. I do feel like it's UN
- 43:47underplayed. I don't feel like it's played
- 43:49enough. I don't think it was played
- 43:51enough when it came out. I feel like actually if more
- 43:53people gave it a chance, I feel like the same of Saturday Night
- 43:56actually. If it was given bit more of a
- 43:58like radio play, it probably would have done just as well as
- 44:01like 5 Colours because they're actually really good songs.
- 44:03But they weren't played enough. They weren't singles, so they
- 44:06weren't like, I don't know. We just didn't hear them in, in
- 44:09the well, what is it, the ether? In the ether?
- 44:13Yeah, we didn't hear that. It's like, it's like take it
- 44:16back to, I know we do it every single podcast, but if you take
- 44:19it back to Taylor Swift, the only reason why Cruel Summer
- 44:21made it as a single is because the fans played it so much.
- 44:25They streamed it so much that their the record company gave it
- 44:29a single. It's a fan driven single.
- 44:32And I think if those by those standards back then, this song
- 44:37would have made it something. Absolutely.
- 44:39I rated it as 7.5. I love it.
- 44:41It's not a favourite of mine, but I do feel like it's up
- 44:45there. Definitely.
- 44:46I feel like it's it's on par with Saturday night.
- 44:48That's why I've rated a 7.5. Yeah, I think it's a good one.
- 44:53I wish, I wish we'd had more of it when we're in the noughties.
- 44:56I wish we'd heard a bit more of it because again, I feel like it
- 44:57probably would have been a higher rating for me.
- 44:59In my head, I know that I feel like I'm writing these songs
- 45:02really low, but it's because I know what albums are coming and
- 45:05I'm like trying to, you know, pace myself a little bit.
- 45:11Let us know those of you that are listening on TikTok Live,
- 45:14what are your ratings for these songs?
- 45:16If you want to share your ratings, please do because we'd
- 45:18love to pop them on the podcast as well.
- 45:20The next song that's coming up, Oh, it's a, it's another low one
- 45:26for us. I'm afraid this song is Unsaid
- 45:29Things. Unsaid things.
- 45:32Your rating is a four. Yeah, I feel like it's a bit
- 45:40brutal. I feel like I feel like it's a
- 45:45good, it's a good song. It's just doesn't make a lot of
- 45:50sense. I think it's the girl.
- 45:54Had the nicest legs he'd ever seen.
- 45:57And she's just got pregnant with a big AB.
- 46:00With a baby, as opposed to anything else, Anything.
- 46:03Else that makes no sense, doesn't make any sense, because
- 46:08now she's got pregnant with a baby.
- 46:12Oh, has she? That's interesting.
- 46:13What else could she have got pregnant?
- 46:15With but only now she's pregnant, he feels her slipping
- 46:17away from him. Oh yeah, yeah, yeah, now she's
- 46:20pregnant. Now.
- 46:21Can't give her any, can't give her a chance.
- 46:23Now she's up the Duff. Terrible.
- 46:25So I think that's it. I think it's more like the lyric
- 46:27value for me. That's a bit like I just it's a
- 46:30little bit of a cringy song. I'm reading the lyrics now and
- 46:34it's just the lyrics that's like, she's getting married.
- 46:37I'm in misery because her fiance is so much bigger than me.
- 46:41Yeah, only that's the only reason.
- 46:45If he was smaller, If he was 5 foot 5.
- 46:48It just doesn't make any sense. Yeah, it's just, it's just
- 46:52weird. It's very much.
- 46:53Yeah, he worked. He works out a lot.
- 46:55There's not much that he ain't got.
- 46:57And right now I'm losing the plot along with her.
- 47:00Yeah, she's gone, mate. She's she's engaged or.
- 47:02She's having a baby with. Someone else?
- 47:04But only right now. Right now I'm losing the plot
- 47:07along with her. Only right only now, he's losing
- 47:10her after she's getting married, she's pregnant.
- 47:14Seven years have gone past, but only now he's losing her.
- 47:20Can I also say I feel like the chorus, I feel like they squeeze
- 47:24too many words into not enough syllables.
- 47:27I've still got so many unsaid things that I want to say and I
- 47:32just can't wait another day, another day.
- 47:35I just feel like I just feel like it's a bit much.
- 47:38I feel like there's too much going on and that is why I rated
- 47:41unsaid things before. I'm very, very sorry everyone, I
- 47:45apologise. Sticking with it though.
- 47:46I'm sticking with it, it's not a song for me.
- 47:48Again, would listen to it if it was live, probably would scream
- 47:52it and have the best time ever because I'd be like McFly, I
- 47:55love you but equally not that big a fan.
- 47:59OK. Shall we move on to something
- 48:01absolutely fucking epic? I haven't said my rating to
- 48:05unsaid things yet, thank. You very much.
- 48:06Oh, sorry, sorry. I was really excited to move on.
- 48:08Sorry, sorry. Carry on.
- 48:09Carry on, drama queen. So I rated it A5.
- 48:15You did. Are you sticking?
- 48:18I I think I would drop 1. OK.
- 48:23It's not as bad as 5 colours. So you're going for a four as
- 48:31well now? I'll go for a four as well, but
- 48:34it's literally, I think the reason why this song is higher
- 48:39than others is because I think I would, Oh, sorry, I've got a pop
- 48:47up. The reason why I think I would
- 48:51rate this song higher than some others is because I think I
- 48:55would love to see it live. OK.
- 48:59It's just fun. Yeah.
- 49:02We don't get to, but yeah. But it's it's, yeah.
- 49:06OK, I'll let you have that. If you take the all the
- 49:08seriousness away from the song, it's just a bit of fun.
- 49:12If you can just be a bit silly with it and just be like
- 49:14whatever, yeah. And if you can laugh at how
- 49:18awful it is. I think there's a few of those.
- 49:23I think there's a few of those. Feel like there's a couple.
- 49:26To be fair, it's not just a McFly thing.
- 49:28There are a couple of busted songs that I feel the exact same
- 49:30way about. So, you know, I think that's,
- 49:33it's the territory that comes with being a fun pop rock,
- 49:37gimmicky, you know, like that kind of band like, and they were
- 49:42at the beginning, they aren't that now their music now.
- 49:45It isn't like that. The albums continued with them.
- 49:48They got better as they got older.
- 49:50I mean, Power to Play is a great album.
- 49:52I've always said Power to Play is underrated.
- 49:54I can't wait to get there because I'm looking forward to
- 49:56actually going through all of those songs because I feel like
- 49:59the album itself, I feel like it should have been bigger.
- 50:01I think a lot of people would rank this album above things
- 50:04like Power to Play, but actually it's because of the nostalgia
- 50:07value. It's not.
- 50:08Because I was just about to say that.
- 50:10The musical talent that they are portraying, the writing talent,
- 50:13the actual vocal talent, the the playing the guitar.
- 50:16But like, it all improves with time.
- 50:19That's because obviously they get better with age, but I feel
- 50:21like this song is one of those ones that sort of just shows how
- 50:24young they were when they started.
- 50:26Completely agree with you. OK, now we can move on to
- 50:29something fun. Now we can move on to something
- 50:32fun. OK, I think this next song I
- 50:37feel like I I feel like I probably need to change my
- 50:40rating. Oh, and if you knew what her
- 50:44rating was currently, this excites me.
- 50:46Do you want to tell everybody what my what the song is and
- 50:49what my current rating is? The song is Surfer Babe and
- 50:52Taylor's current rating don't disappoint me.
- 50:56Don't disappoint me because I mean, you've got a track record
- 50:59of doing that on this album. Don't disappoint me.
- 51:02Taylor's current rating is 9. I rated surfer baby nine.
- 51:06I'm going to change my rating, it's a 10.
- 51:11Oh yeah. I love this song.
- 51:14I love this song. I played it in the car the other
- 51:15day and I was like, why did I rate this?
- 51:179 is a 10. This is such a good song.
- 51:19It's just, it's great. There's nothing about it.
- 51:22It's bad. And do you know what?
- 51:24I know people. I know there are people that
- 51:26hate this song and I'm like, what?
- 51:29I feel sorry for you because you don't get to enjoy it.
- 51:33Exactly, exactly. You don't get it, You don't get
- 51:36it. You don't live in Cornwall, you
- 51:39don't see the surf in the sun live.
- 51:41You've not tried to be a surf in the.
- 51:43Sun Live Where were we? Where, where?
- 51:45Where did we just see this? Eden, Eden Project.
- 51:48Eden Project. Eden Project in Cornwall.
- 51:50That's why they played it all. The surfer babes in the crowd,
- 51:54that's why. All those surfer dudes.
- 51:58It's a tent. I'm changing my 9 to a tent.
- 52:00Yeah, I think it's a it's a wonderful song.
- 52:03It's fun, it's exciting, it's upbeat.
- 52:07It's actually lyrically not too bad.
- 52:09It's still that, like, fun pop rock, like gimmicky energy,
- 52:13chaotic, but it's not. It makes it makes sense.
- 52:17It's a very Beach Boys. It's very like naughties boy
- 52:19band. It's just cool.
- 52:21I love it. I'm here for it.
- 52:22And I've tried all my might to be a surfer babe.
- 52:24It's never going to happen. So I'm just going to live
- 52:26vicariously through this song, OK?
- 52:28Through the song. Shannon, you rated this A9.
- 52:32I did rated 9 and I'm going to stick with my 9:00.
- 52:35OK, I'm happy with that. That's fine.
- 52:37I'll stick with my 9. I really like this song.
- 52:42Do I think is better than some of the other songs that I've?
- 52:44I don't think that. Do you know what the problem is?
- 52:46Is I would give it a 10 if if if there was like no down by the
- 52:52lake on this album. Do you know what I mean?
- 52:53No, not alone on the like. I can't rate it the same as
- 52:57them, but it is still phenomenal.
- 53:00Yeah, yeah. So yeah, I give it I'll, I'll
- 53:03keep it in my 9, OK. There you go 9 and A10 change my
- 53:08that's my that is my only 10. I haven't read that's what I was
- 53:11just. Thinking I was as you were
- 53:13saying it, I was looking at all of the numbers on that one.
- 53:16That's why I was literally looking at thinking I didn't
- 53:18rate anything A10 and that is A10.
- 53:19It is. It's my favourite.
- 53:21It is genuinely, I think it's my favourite on the album.
- 53:25However, the next song is also absolutely the next song is not
- 53:35alone and it is Shannon's next 10.
- 53:37So actually you rated you rated 2 songs 10 on the album Down by
- 53:41the Lake and Alone. Are you happy with his?
- 53:43Ten I would I would keep this 10.
- 53:46This song is so good. It does not sound like it should
- 53:48be on this album. It is.
- 53:49I'm not saying that the the album, like I've said for me is
- 53:52OK. It's like mid, very much mid
- 53:55tier for me. Not alone is like.
- 53:59If. They released not alone.
- 54:01Now with all of the the experience they've had, all of
- 54:05the like the their journey, everything.
- 54:08If they released it now, I wouldn't be surprised because
- 54:10it's just a song that like, it's aged very well.
- 54:15It would I think if they released not alone now like as
- 54:19in they re recorded now it would smash.
- 54:20It would literally smash. I like people would love it
- 54:24because it is so good and it's very mental health aware for I
- 54:28have this came out in 2004 this came out.
- 54:32This way beyond their time. This song came out at the same
- 54:35time as Met this girl. Doesn't make any sense.
- 54:41Doesn't make sense. I'm.
- 54:43Sorry I this song I said it on the episode we recorded so I
- 54:47won't go back into it but like to not to deep it too much but
- 54:52this song has saved my life many.
- 54:55Times exactly. I there has been times where I
- 55:00have cried and screamed these lyrics so loud that maybe if
- 55:04there was someone in the house they'd tell me to shut the fuck
- 55:07up. Like I this, it means a lot on a
- 55:13deeper level, but equally on just like a song generic song
- 55:18level, it slaps. It's so good.
- 55:21It really does. 32 years old, I just said the word slaps but
- 55:24yeah it. Slaps, man.
- 55:26It slaps. You could have said slaps and
- 55:28done this. It slaps.
- 55:34Totally slaps. Man.
- 55:35I don't know what I'm doing. I'm going to change my rating.
- 55:39Oh. My God.
- 55:42The front door all right in is 10 Taylor's current.
- 55:47Rating is 9. It's. 10, it's 10.
- 55:50Do you know why? The more I think about how
- 55:52misplaced this song is on this album, the more I think, how did
- 55:56they do this in 2004? Like it, it makes it better.
- 56:00It makes it better when you think about because I'm sorry,
- 56:03but it came out the same time as Met This girl.
- 56:06I know that you don't appreciate that, but in my brain that just
- 56:09doesn't compute. Shut the fuck up about Matt
- 56:12This. Yeah, I feel like not
- 56:13respectfully, not respectfully. I feel like Not Alone should
- 56:18have been on Radioactive or even like the Lost Songs album.
- 56:23Like it's Red level. Do you know what I mean?
- 56:26Yeah, it's definitely the same level as Red Not Alone is.
- 56:30I mean, obviously it helps because it's very Danny vibes,
- 56:34isn't it? It's very like emotional and
- 56:37like screamy and like shouty and like, but not do you know what I
- 56:40mean? That's one thing Mr Danny Jones
- 56:43is so unbelievably impeccable at, is using his full chess
- 56:51voice and really like bellowing, but absolutely perfectly like.
- 56:59Yeah. He never wavers his pitch, his
- 57:02vocal tone never wavers. He never has like an ounce of
- 57:06like, oh, that wasn't quite the right note.
- 57:08And actually, that goes for all of McFly.
- 57:10They genuinely as vocalists, the three of them are impeccable.
- 57:15Even Dougie, who you know, doesn't do as much singing as
- 57:17others and has, you know, been self acclaimed, not the best
- 57:21singer in the world. He he's still very, very good,
- 57:25Very good. I mean, nobody in my eyes
- 57:27compares to Mr Tom Fletcher because he's just very he's like
- 57:30a little it's an elastic band. He just he's so versatile.
- 57:33He can be used for so many things.
- 57:34Do you know what I mean? But I think the vocals in this
- 57:38it it, it's celebs to use that word.
- 57:43It's just there is no way in my brain that makes sense for those
- 57:49for met this girl on this to be on the same album.
- 57:51It does not make sense. So I'm sorry, I know I've done
- 57:54it again, but I'm going to take this, this song out of the album
- 57:58because I've rated the album according to most of the other
- 58:03songs. But actually I feel like if I'm
- 58:04rating it thinking about Surfer Babe and not Alone, it's
- 58:06probably higher. It's probably 8 if I was
- 58:11thinking just about those songs. That's exactly what I mean
- 58:13though. When I said earlier, I was like,
- 58:15if you take some of these songs off, it's going to be a much
- 58:17higher album. If you take other songs off like
- 58:20Down By the Lake, like Not Alone.
- 58:22It would make any. Sense it would be such a it
- 58:25would be a mediocre to subpar album.
- 58:29Yeah, 100%. I completely agree.
- 58:32And with that, shall we? Are you staying 10?
- 58:36Obviously. I'm saying 10.
- 58:39Imagine if I was like, no, let's change it to A5.
- 58:42I was like, do I need to ask you?
- 58:44Because I know you're not changing this.
- 58:46There's no way on earth should we move to the final song.
- 58:50Let's move to the final song. Everything was going just the
- 58:53way I planned The broccoli done. Yeah.
- 59:00Love the song. Love it.
- 59:01And you know what? I feel like it's one of those
- 59:03songs when the lyrics are very childish and very silly and fun,
- 59:07like, Yeah, like, and I've, I've rated some of the other songs
- 59:10that are a bit like that. Lower Broccoli is an 8 for me.
- 59:14It's an 8 outside. Sticking with an 8.
- 59:16I think I'm sticking with an 8. Yeah, I love it.
- 59:18OK, I love it. It's just so nice.
- 59:21It's the she wasn't coming round for tea, but and I'm just like,
- 59:26oh, it's OK, don't worry, I'll come round for tea.
- 59:32I'll bring some broccoli. I'll bring it.
- 59:35I'll provide the Brock. In the episode that we, we
- 59:38recorded broccoli, we were just literally before we went live
- 59:42and before we started recording, we were like going through the
- 59:44ratings and stuff and we were listening to little clips from,
- 59:47from the episode. I, I think that the lyrics were,
- 59:53they were just so of the time when we were young when we were
- 59:58listening to this. So we were inviting people over
- 1:00:01for tea. Now it's a bit like when you
- 1:00:04sing it, you're like, it's funny because it's nostalgic.
- 1:00:07It's you don't invite people around for tea.
- 1:00:08You don't write me anymore. I mean, you might have a dinner
- 1:00:10party if you want. Thanks babes.
- 1:00:13You're welcome to come to mine for tea too.
- 1:00:15But it's very much like we talked about.
- 1:00:18Yeah, We talked about on the episode how we would ask our
- 1:00:20parents if we could have friends come out for tea.
- 1:00:24And one of the most important things I think we learned about
- 1:00:27this song through the lyrics is if she rings you that last
- 1:00:32minute that the broccoli's just been done.
- 1:00:34Takes 4 minutes to cook. Broccoli does not take very long
- 1:00:38if you're steaming broccoli. I steamed broccoli for about 7
- 1:00:41minutes. If I'm boiling it, it's for no
- 1:00:43way any more than that. Doesn't need any more.
- 1:00:46The family was done. It was finished and she's
- 1:00:49ringing it. You're plating your dinner up
- 1:00:50and she's ringing you saying she said not come in.
- 1:00:52That girl ain't worth it, babe. That girl is not worth it.
- 1:00:56I rated it 7 and I think I'd stick.
- 1:01:02I think I'd stick with the seven.
- 1:01:03I love the song. This song is very nostalgic to
- 1:01:06me. It reminds me of one of my
- 1:01:07friends from primary school. We used to sing it to each other
- 1:01:09all the time. I think we used to send it to
- 1:01:11each other on like, you know, like on your BIBO page.
- 1:01:15Oh yeah, of course we would like Bibo.
- 1:01:17Write write the lyrics to each other on our BIBO.
- 1:01:20Very nostalgic to me. But in comparison with the rest
- 1:01:24of the album? Not even with the rest of McFly
- 1:01:26songs. With the rest of the album I
- 1:01:27don't think I could rate it higher than A7 just on based on
- 1:01:31nostalgia alone. OK.
- 1:01:33Yeah, I'll let you off. That's fine.
- 1:01:36It's OK. You give me an 8 mate, you
- 1:01:38can't, you can't do anything. No, I.
- 1:01:40Know I just feel, I just feel like, I feel like in my brain
- 1:01:44you were like lowering, lowering the score, but didn't want to
- 1:01:47lower me a score. That's where I'm at.
- 1:01:49Oh no no, I literally I love this song but.
- 1:01:53As long as there's no way I'm at 7:00 because it does not not
- 1:01:56belong below 7, no way. No, no, no, it doesn't belong.
- 1:02:00It's too good. It's not skip song.
- 1:02:02It's a song that I would like, choose to put on a song that I
- 1:02:05dance with my kids to. But is it surfer babe?
- 1:02:09Is it hypnotised? Is it?
- 1:02:11Got that girl? I mean, it's definitely not
- 1:02:13hypnotised that way for different reason.
- 1:02:20Shut your big mouth. Shut your big mouth.
- 1:02:26OK, so you're sticking with your 7, You're happy with your 7?
- 1:02:28Sticking with. Your 7, Annie says.
- 1:02:31I take one point off just because of the way Tom says mum,
- 1:02:38hey, that's not fair. Poor Tom, he can't help
- 1:02:42basically. Well, there we go.
- 1:02:47That is every single song on Room on the 3rd floor.
- 1:02:51I feel like actually when you look at the songs like we have,
- 1:02:55you can see them all in one in one list and you can see what
- 1:02:58we've rated it. Actually, I probably was quite
- 1:03:01rude and if you were, that's quite rude.
- 1:03:05But those single songs, I mean, for me, OK, Top songs, Surfer
- 1:03:10babe Not alone. Top songs, 10 out of 10.
- 1:03:12Absolutely. Then broccoli.
- 1:03:16Yeah, so top three broccoli, Surfer babe Not alone.
- 1:03:20Bottom 3, Hypnotised met this girl.
- 1:03:26Unsaid things. I don't think that's.
- 1:03:29I don't think that's. So my top three are not alone,
- 1:03:34Down by the Lake and Surfer Babe.
- 1:03:38Yeah. My bottom three are 5 colours,
- 1:03:43room on the third floor and met this girl.
- 1:03:50I would say that's very me. I would say that's accurate to
- 1:03:54me. Yeah.
- 1:03:56I'm not saying I don't like these songs.
- 1:03:58I I do really like Room on the. This is the key thing.
- 1:04:01Again, we're not saying that we don't like these songs.
- 1:04:04This is comparing McFly to McFly.
- 1:04:07This isn't comparing McFly to the universe of music.
- 1:04:10This is comparing McFly to McFly.
- 1:04:13We have so many more songs and so many more albums to get
- 1:04:16through. We're going to be doing this
- 1:04:18podcast forever. I'm so excited.
- 1:04:20I'm going to be expecting all songs on the next album.
- 1:04:23What songs on the next album? What songs on the next album?
- 1:04:26Shannon Palette of book. What a shock.
- 1:04:34I feel like I'm, I feel like I'm probably going to have to keep
- 1:04:37listening to that song so that I like it by the time we get there
- 1:04:39because I'm going to end up having a whole 50 minute episode
- 1:04:42of you trying to convince me to like balance Book.
- 1:04:44I will sing the whole song to you.
- 1:04:47Yeah, I know you will. But like this, I won't sing it
- 1:04:49properly. I'll sing it like this.
- 1:04:50So you understand that we're drinking cold Corona.
- 1:04:56He's he's drinking cold Corona. Corona feels like he's getting
- 1:05:03older now. I do like a cold corona with a
- 1:05:07lime in the top so. Well, there we go.
- 1:05:09There's at least one point in that reference in a drink.
- 1:05:13Oh there we go. If you are thinking Oh my God
- 1:05:17what is wrong with you? How dare you vote so low on
- 1:05:20these songs. Please let us know in the
- 1:05:21comments or in our on our social media because we really would
- 1:05:25like to here what you guys think as well and what you rate them
- 1:05:28and whether or not we are just being really, really harsh.
- 1:05:32I don't think we are. I think we're.
- 1:05:34I think we'd. Be I don't think we are.
- 1:05:36I think I think that's OK. I think people would disagree
- 1:05:38with some of my ratings, but that's fine because they're my
- 1:05:40ratings. Snap, snap.
- 1:05:42And it gets better. The albums get better, the
- 1:05:44ratings get better. Don't panic.
- 1:05:46I mean, we've got to be brutal. That's the whole reason of being
- 1:05:49fans. Some of my ratings will get
- 1:05:51worse. Oh, Oh dear, we're in trouble.
- 1:05:55She likes to dance all by herself.
- 1:05:58She's a party. Girl yeah, but saying that even
- 1:06:02McFly don't like that song so we can make we can vote party girl
- 1:06:07though and telling you now if that song came on when we were
- 1:06:112122, we were pissed and we were you know OMG and that song came
- 1:06:15on you believe we'd have been. Taylor Living song came on now
- 1:06:21and I've had a nice cold coffee. Be the party girl.
- 1:06:26Or when I find out a sugar free lemonade, I am so here for that.
- 1:06:33I need to see that. Can we please arrange that right
- 1:06:36now? OK, let's do.
- 1:06:39It that's it for today's episode.

- 1:06:58first album which I for one cannot wait for.
- 1:07:02It's definitely going to be fun, probably chaotic.
- 1:07:06Definitely chaotic. This is so exciting, I can't
- 1:07:10believe we've completed both albums.
- 1:07:12How fast has that gone? I feel like obviously not been
- 1:07:16fast because it's been 30 episodes, so that's like 30
- 1:07:19weeks. Oh my goodness.
- 1:07:22We do one a week, we have done one a week for a really long
- 1:07:24time so it's mental but I love it.
