  It's deprogram the podcast where we try to get you into an
• 0:35
  artist. Today's artists is a low arou
• 0:38
  which I believe is red. The red one.
• 0:43
  The red one. Thank you.
• 0:44
  Dear for prefer, correcting me. I guess I know you speak French.
• 0:49
  Yeah I guess I should get back on the I only took like six
• 0:52
  fucking years of French for whatever reason.
• 0:56
  Sorry Lord already out of control.
• 0:59
  Today is not a program for him. I'm sorry babe talking about the
• 1:05
  artist eluru and indeed this was your idea.
• 1:08
  Hon, Larusso. So talk to me about it.
• 1:10
  What is it about her? Why did why did do you think she
• 1:13
  needed a little love today? You know, I've been listening to
• 1:17
  her since what the early 2000s when she came out and well,
• 1:22
  hello. And I've always liked if I'm
• 1:25
  cleaning or cooking doing dishes, like doing something.
• 1:29
  Saying it's just fun, fun to listen, listen to fun stuff.
• 1:34
  And I'm like, who doesn't like that and why don't why don't
• 1:38
  people know who she is? And that, well, maybe people do,
• 1:41
  I don't know, but LaRue had one, like big hit and it's on a lot
• 1:46
  of tick-tock videos, apparently, and it's kind of making a
• 1:49
  Resurgence. So I thought, hey, young, people
• 1:53
  might know what this is this 15, this 15 year old song.
• 1:58
  You know kids Know what this is and for us to go, hey, like it's
• 2:02
  an art like you, it's not just a tick tock, you know thing.
• 2:06
  If this is an artist and she has other awesome stuff.
• 2:09
  So I don't know. When I enjoy artist, I always
• 2:12
  bring it to you babe and say, hey can we do this artist on the
• 2:15
  show because I like doing the show with you and I like talking
• 2:19
  about bands and music so whenever I enjoy an artist I'm
• 2:23
  going to come to you about it and I enjoy her.
• 2:26
  So we were doing the After the fact for Cracker, I believe
• 2:31
  Jenny and we were scrolling through stuff and you said
• 2:34
  LaRue, I'm in. So yeah.
• 2:36
  So what what major in for the kill I'm in for the kill that
• 2:46
  you enjoy. I mean I'm sure that like most
• 2:48
  people I got drawn in the same time frame.
• 2:51
  Like bulletproof was big and and I just dove in and listen to
• 2:56
  that album at it man. I just loved every bit of it
• 2:59
  back. The day kind of fell off and I
• 3:05
  had listened to the later albums, but you know, didn't
• 3:08
  really didn't really listen to him often.
• 3:12
  So this was just a good excuse for me to dive back in because I
• 3:15
  just absolutely love her style like personally, like the way
• 3:19
  she dresses, like the her hair, her whole like hurt her hair was
• 3:23
  like actually specifically a style icon for me for a while.
• 3:27
  They're like when I used to like, You know, blow dry it up
• 3:31
  and like, spray lots of stuff into it.
• 3:34
  I was like, I love her hair. I want to do that.
• 3:36
  That's that's what I want and I anything that sounds retro.
• 3:42
  Yeah, I'm in, you know, and she's got like, a real strong
• 3:46
  80s. Synth.
• 3:48
  Vibe that just, it's so perfect. I mean, like she.
• 3:52
  She perfected it so much that it's almost too much sometimes.
• 3:57
  Yeah, I love that. She Boxes balance of because we
• 4:03
  were talking earlier on and you said, you know, she got kind of
• 4:05
  reminds me of like Pat Benatar. And yes the thing is, you know,
• 4:10
  there's stuff. That's very surface level that
• 4:12
  that makes you think that but like I didn't even make that
• 4:15
  direct correlation because it is modern enough sounding that you,
• 4:19
  can you do not hear that. But um, so for me with her,
• 4:25
  obviously, again, you know, this is third straight person here.
• 4:28
  Bulletproof. You Then listen to that song
• 4:30
  forever. And so like it's always been on
• 4:32
  in our house at like throughout the years so like that that song
• 4:36
  has always been one of the ones that you listen to that.
• 4:38
  I've always always enjoyed. Yeah so like you know I never
• 4:44
  again I never make the Deep Dives until you know this show
• 4:48
  is my reason to derive right. Oh I never made the Deep dive on
• 4:52
  our but like I always enjoyed that song.
• 4:55
  So it's like okay well let's let's see what else we got.
• 4:58
  So That being said, she only has the three records, you know, we
• 5:03
  threw in a bonus song to bring her song total to 30.
• 5:07
  So we had to pick 15 this this go-around on.
• 5:10
  What what was your gameplay? Like, did you have any or did
• 5:14
  you kind of do it the way you normally do?
• 5:17
  Well, I don't know if I have like a way that I particularly
• 5:21
  do it, but I had songs that I was already, there was about
• 5:24
  five or six songs that I had been listening to that.
• 5:27
  I was familiar with that. I Ooh, we're going to go on the
• 5:30
  list so I I just went ahead and put those on my list, didn't
• 5:33
  even like, listen to them or anything and then it actually
• 5:37
  went back and listened to each album actually backwards from
• 5:42
  like the newest album to the oldest.
• 5:44
  Because the oldest album, you know, like Jenny said I was most
• 5:48
  familiar with and I had only heard like maybe one song from
• 5:52
  the new album, so I started with that and then kind of work my
• 5:55
  way backwards from there. And Just a super easy listen one
• 6:01
  of the one of the album's trouble in Paradise I really
• 6:04
  just enjoyed from front start to finish.
• 6:06
  It was like tell it tells a story that album and I love that
• 6:10
  there's like a whole vibe. It tells a story of a
• 6:13
  relationship story and I just love those kind of Records.
• 6:17
  So it was a super easy. Listen.
• 6:21
  So it's we the word easy as come up here.
• 6:24
  A lot from you me. Yes, okay.
• 6:28
  I know that I Like things that are easy.
• 6:30
  And so well, I've been using that word.
• 6:41
  I know that Jenny didn't have an easy time.
• 6:43
  Like, yeah, it was, it was hard, it's an easy, listen for sure.
• 6:47
  But like, talk to me about, you know, what it, what it came down
• 6:50
  to when it came to song Choices, Jenny.
• 6:53
  Yes. So the thing is it because it's
• 6:55
  such an easy. Listen, I would catch myself,
• 6:58
  just kind of listening, In the background and just kind of
• 7:00
  jamming out and not really putting the song list together
• 7:04
  and that I'd go back and listen to it again.
• 7:05
  It's like, okay. Now I really have to pay
• 7:07
  attention and pick songs and oh, shit.
• 7:10
  I just pick the entire record. Yeah, yeah, Chestnut second one
• 7:19
  was like I, it was really hard for me to not choose every song.
• 7:23
  Yeah. Agreed.
• 7:25
  And it's so, it was, it was just kind of going back and forth.
• 7:29
  Fourth in. Like, you know, the thing is
• 7:32
  that it's pop music. So like there's a there's a
• 7:35
  certain Rhythm to it, there's a certain type of formula and I
• 7:38
  don't want to say that like in a bad way, it's just, that sort of
• 7:41
  kind of what pop music is. Like it didn't feel repetitive
• 7:46
  or anything, it's just that it was hard to find the ones that
• 7:50
  that I wanted to represent her sound.
• 7:52
  Because, like, sometimes there was a few that, like sounded
• 7:55
  similar, they had similar themes, so it was like, trying
• 7:58
  to just choose the Right ones to pull out and highlight.
• 8:02
  I think that was the most difficult thing and I kind of
• 8:05
  cheated a little bit by like making Scott.
• 8:07
  Listen to some of it with me and saying like, Okay what do you
• 8:10
  think about this one? Okay.
• 8:11
  What do you think about this? Like as if you're trying to get
• 8:14
  some new person to listen like getting his gut reaction to some
• 8:17
  of these like really was a tie breaker for me right at the very
• 8:20
  end like five minutes ago. Yeah that's cheating because I
• 8:26
  couldn't obviously do that. You got kids and just ask them,
• 8:32
  that's true. When I get to be like, whatever
• 8:35
  they do, well Leah, - it was funny because you went off to
• 8:41
  your eye appointment today hunting when you came back, I
• 8:43
  was listening to my playlist and you, you open up your phone.
• 8:46
  What look, what I was listening to, I was listening on the way
• 8:49
  home, big sex, you know, other than, you know, some of the
• 8:54
  obvious songs that you've been listening to you over the years.
• 9:00
  All of it was brand new to me. So like, as I'm listening to the
• 9:03
  records, I'm like, okay, like this one sounds familiar.
• 9:06
  So, like if it sounded familiar, it got it got through on the
• 9:11
  first pass, but then it's the second pass where it does.
• 9:15
  It does it pass the smell test? Does it?
• 9:17
  Does this feel like her, like, can I accurately convey what she
• 9:22
  does with this song? And so like, like Jenny said,
• 9:27
  it's pop. So like This, this is the part
• 9:30
  of the show where I say, it's only three records.
• 9:33
  It's less than three hours of music.
• 9:35
  I believe, just if you like any of this, just listen to her
• 9:39
  whole discography like her. That's a guarantee.
• 9:41
  Yeah, but I, I think the hard part for me is, you know, when
• 9:49
  you only get 15 songs over playing, Instead of, you know,
• 9:55
  usually we can have when you have 20 there's like a couple
• 9:57
  that you can kind of just go with your gut or you know just
• 10:00
  pull some in that you just kind of like and so like as you're
• 10:03
  getting to those last those last nitty-gritty Cuts your like
• 10:06
  overthinking. Oh well Kristen likes this kind
• 10:09
  of song so maybe I'll bring that.
• 10:10
  Oh, Jenny likes this type of song, maybe I'll bring that.
• 10:13
  So instead of just going with my gut of this felt felt right?
• 10:18
  I I played a little too much so I'll see.
• 10:21
  We'll see how it how it shakes out.
• 10:23
  It's my wanted to kind of like just a little thing about LaRue
• 10:27
  because we just we keep on referring to her as like I think
• 10:30
  her name is Ella or just this one person but actually LaRue
• 10:34
  started as a two-person like a team.
• 10:39
  I forgot the guys name, but it was like a sound guy.
• 10:42
  Mixer came up with the gym been leg made or something like
• 10:45
  there, you go. And like, so the first album,
• 10:48
  he's on, but the rest of them is just her, like they broke up.
• 10:53
  After the first album. So the first album came out in
• 10:55
  like 2009 and then she didn't release another one till 2014.
• 10:59
  And then her most recent one is from 2020.
• 11:02
  So she goes a very long periods of time between albums.
• 11:05
  And I read like an article where she actually, you know, the
• 11:12
  songs that kind of made it big on her first, the breakout
• 11:16
  album, she wasn't really all that into and mushy, actually
• 11:22
  kind of doesn't like how Big. She got she wasn't really into
• 11:26
  that. She wasn't trying to be some
• 11:27
  International Superstar so it's just kind of like to me, it's
• 11:32
  really interesting and then her like her whole vibe like you
• 11:36
  were saying Jenny. She's like, she's just
• 11:38
  androgynous. I mean, you don't, you don't
• 11:40
  know. It's not a poor.
• 11:43
  It's like she has a look and, and a sound and it's very
• 11:47
  intentional. And I love that.
• 11:50
  I love that about an artist where you know, what to expect.
• 11:53
  From them. Sorry, right.
• 11:54
  You wrote catchy Papi, Vibes. Sorry.
• 11:57
  People like it. Sorry.
• 11:59
  I mean, I get it, I get it. But like, you know, the same was
• 12:02
  said about about Kurt Cobain, like, dude, you wrote like heavy
• 12:07
  Beatles songs like people are gonna like it.
• 12:11
  People are gonna like, I mean, you know, I, that's a little
• 12:15
  annoying to me when artists say I wasn't trying to get all big
• 12:20
  know, right? I didn't want to be that famous,
• 12:22
  I'm sorry. Sorry, you can go back to being
• 12:24
  a starving artist. Now, yeah, I like to being a
• 12:28
  nobody. Yeah, sure.
• 12:29
  You did you try writing scripted podcast with your friends that
• 12:33
  nobody listens to have fun. You feel I was trying to get my
• 12:40
  co-workers to Listen, by the way, at work the other night and
• 12:43
  everybody just started talking over the podcast and I was like,
• 12:47
  okay, all right, it wasn't a Bella dubs.
• 12:53
  Do is tell him it's fart jokes. Anyway before we move on, I
• 12:57
  would have the tag onto something that Chris was saying
• 13:00
  real quick about the like the style and the androgyny.
• 13:03
  I'm pretty sure if I remember, right?
• 13:05
  And it's been a few years so don't hold me to it because, you
• 13:08
  know, age and stuff. But I wrote this article on the
• 13:13
  old mouthy broadcast site where I basically like made headcanon
• 13:17
  for Steven Universe where like there's a there's a lot of
• 13:22
  voices on Steven. Verse that are like musicians
• 13:25
  and other actors and all this stuff and they kind of have that
• 13:28
  Vibe. And I was like, hey, here's some
• 13:31
  other celebrities, that might be Crystal Gems.
• 13:34
  They might be lesbian, space rocks, and I'm pretty sure I'd
• 13:38
  name. LaRue is one of those.
• 13:39
  Like, so if you're into Steven Universe, you might like LaRue.
• 13:45
  There you go. That's a good.
• 13:48
  I like it. Yeah, I like it.
• 13:50
  All right, so this is something else I like obviously the For
• 13:53
  the final say, based on everything we've talked about so
• 13:56
  far hon, how many do you think we're going to get through
• 13:58
  unanimously 50k? Oh damn, that's what I was gonna
• 14:04
  say, but also makes sense. What do you think, Jenny?
• 14:09
  You know, I think I feel like we're gonna we're gonna head on
• 14:12
  a lot this time. Number one, there's not a whole
• 14:15
  lot to choose from, but I feel like we're gonna hone in, on the
• 14:18
  same thing. So I'm going to go positive and
• 14:20
  go six, okay? All right, I guess that'll leave
• 14:24
  me with being the asshole like 27 feels too high.
• 14:27
  I mean, it fits. The thing is the discography
• 14:30
  small enough to where 7 even 8 feels doable, but it's possible
• 14:35
  that just listening to, like, the way you and I described our
• 14:39
  process here Jenny that we kind of over thought the room.
• 14:42
  Yeah, I think y'all did. I specifically said at the end
• 14:47
  of my research to Scott? I was like, I think I'm
• 14:50
  overthinking this We thought the room and that being the case,
• 14:56
  you know, that could lead us to a lot more to lose than you
• 15:00
  Nana. So I'm going to go for even
• 15:01
  though it feels critically low. So, all right, we're going to
• 15:05
  take a quick pause and when we come back, we're going to play
• 15:07
  the game with the red one LaRue. It's the program.

• 15:50
  With that, the name of the game is deprogrammed, the three of us
• 15:53
  have come through LaRue's discography and plucked out a 15
• 15:56
  songs that we're now going to mesh together in an attempt to
• 15:58
  create top 10 starter kit for you, in case you have never
• 16:01
  given LaRue the time of day. Now, there was never a chance
• 16:05
  that I wasn't bringing this song to the table and this was an
• 16:10
  early odds-on. Favorite as number one, but I
• 16:14
  can also understand with her, not liking the song.
• 16:16
  It not being number one, but Talking about this song is, is
• 16:21
  would be insane? Bulletproof.
• 16:23
  Yeah. Yeah, of course, right.
• 16:26
  Yeah, like, I get it lady that. That isn't your favorite.
• 16:31
  It's not your favorite. And, you know, I could even make
• 16:33
  the argument, you know, if you want to say that, it's not
• 16:36
  necessarily her style. Okay.
• 16:41
  But it's so fun. It's so catchy in like it's got
• 16:47
  such a power. Got a great message, it's
• 16:56
  bouncy, it's just bouncy and then it's got that like it's got
• 17:00
  that retro feel but also like a retro video game feel.
• 17:04
  Yad love you see, ya music video?
• 17:07
  It looks like kind of like a video game.
• 17:09
  Okay, she's wearing like giant dice or something around her
• 17:16
  neck, I don't know. Like it looks like an 80s video
• 17:19
  game. Look at it.
• 17:21
  All her music videos are really fun 80s like Like Denver Vibes.
• 17:29
  Yeah. So one in one in, let me go
• 17:32
  ahead and do the thing that I'm supposed to do.
• 17:35
  There we go. Scott kept using the term
• 17:36
  chiptune. Like yeah, she sounds like she
• 17:38
  has that that like that video game sounds, you know, it's not
• 17:44
  overly prevalent but it's prevalent enough that you could
• 17:47
  put this is the like the best example of that I think.
• 17:52
  All right. Kristen so because I don't know,
• 17:59
  I always call myself a cheater pants with this but same kind of
• 18:02
  vibe that just that same kind of sound to me.
• 18:06
  Anyway, is uptight downtown? Yes, opening opening song of her
• 18:12
  second album. 242 yeah should have went for higher number.
• 18:18
  You might get this one. That was the that was actually
• 18:21
  one of the later ones where I was like I'm overthinking this.
• 18:24
  I need to go with my gut and just do this one and it wasn't
• 18:28
  even because it was a track one. This has that same that same fun
• 18:34
  vibe to it, which I think is important important with her.
• 18:40
  Is you want people to have fun because that's the whole time
• 18:46
  I'm listening to her, I'm having fun.
• 18:48
  You know, I'm taking a walk around the neighborhood, I'm
• 18:50
  enjoying it. This also has Bowie Vibes,
• 18:56
  Bowie. Yeah, I didn't even catch that
• 18:59
  one. So speaking to your androgyny
• 19:04
  point before, well this is I mean this song is like such a
• 19:07
  great opener for the album too because it's almost like you're
• 19:11
  transported to a place. She's taking you to this place
• 19:16
  and your I mean like the whole album you just like you're in as
• 19:20
  a place. Your mean, I just love it and
• 19:23
  she opens it with this song and like if you're going to
• 19:26
  listeners, if you're going to like pick one record like, this
• 19:30
  is one is called trouble in Paradise.
• 19:31
  Nice one too, just like pick out.
• 19:34
  Listen and listen to all the way through.
• 19:36
  This is the one. Yeah.
• 19:38
  And then on my opinion sorry actually actually second that
• 19:42
  because sometimes the subtitle one is good, but I think there's
• 19:46
  something to this one that I could have easily taken
• 19:49
  everything from this one. Yeah, right.
• 19:52
  Whereas, like, I was, I mean, I ended up with a lot of stuff
• 19:55
  from self-titled, but I think those like, break out as songs
• 20:00
  easier ER, as opposed to a full record, right?
• 20:04
  Right. That's actually exactly what I
• 20:05
  was about to say. I have I had that problem with
• 20:07
  trouble in Paradise. Like I do with a lot of concept
• 20:10
  albums or like where I'm used to listening to the entire thing.
• 20:14
  In one one go. It ultimately became difficult
• 20:19
  for me to pull individual songs from this album.
• 20:23
  Even though I think it may be my favorite, I would easily say
• 20:26
  it's my favorite. Actually it was just hard for me
• 20:30
  to be like okay. This one, but if this one,
• 20:33
  without this one, you know that guy thing.
• 20:37
  All right, Jenny. Let's see if I can screw up our
• 20:41
  street here already. Oh man.
• 20:46
  So this was one that had that same kind of Island vibe that,
• 20:52
  that you got on trouble in Paradise.
• 20:55
  Everything. I live for.
• 20:57
  Yes, yeah. Oh, I can scroll down a little
• 21:03
  bit further but I had it. All right.
• 21:13
  Yep, it just it's so much fun to listen to.
• 21:16
  Yeah, just grooving and for the record, not all of her songs,
• 21:21
  are more like upbeat fun songs that is true.
• 21:26
  But ultimately, that was the vibe.
• 21:29
  Yeah. Vibe I get from her.
• 21:30
  Like there are songs that are sadder or more like direct love
• 21:35
  tunes and stuff but the overall vibe to her Is is a is fun.
• 21:43
  It's yeah, it's a Vibe, it's over, but it's like, it's like a
• 21:47
  very casual kind of fun to. It's not like so like, yeah
• 21:51
  party time. It's just like, yeah, we're just
• 21:53
  chilling. You know, that string?
• 21:54
  It out. Agreed.
• 21:58
  All right. Well, Well, I guess it's
• 22:03
  something for three. I'm gonna go for one.
• 22:10
  That could be, could be a mess. How about sex otech?
• 22:16
  I've got that one. I do not.
• 22:18
  Okay, so it's Gotta to, you know, what I like about that
• 22:23
  one. It's almost like she made up a
• 22:25
  word because I have no idea if a Sex Attack is a place, a real
• 22:30
  thing. But I love it because it's like
• 22:35
  is the is it like a person is cheating on her?
• 22:37
  Like what is? It's almost like, I don't know
• 22:40
  exactly what she's trying to say here.
• 22:42
  It's just a vaguely European thing.
• 22:45
  Understand it is feasible, that that a Sex Attack is a real
• 22:50
  thing. I mean, I maybe it is, I don't
• 22:53
  know. But it's got a right, right?
• 22:56
  It's fun. It's fun to say and to sing.
• 23:00
  He's at the six attack it. It's all right.
• 23:06
  All right hon. Your I'm going to go back to the
• 23:09
  top of my list and kiss and not tell.
• 23:13
  I'm almost positive. Hold on.
• 23:14
  Like a yes, I have it, you two. Yep.
• 23:17
  Hey and this is a really fun music video to.
• 23:21
  If you guys want to you go down the rabbit hole, this one almost
• 23:28
  bumped bulletproof off for me because it cause it kind of
• 23:33
  feels and especially once I feel once you told me that she
• 23:36
  doesn't like bulletproof. Yeah.
• 23:38
  I was like, do I want it on my list?
• 23:40
  Yeah. But like, you know what?
• 23:42
  Listen to bulletproof. It gets like no yeah you don't
• 23:45
  win Ladies sorry right I win this time.
• 23:48
  I know and obviously we all felt the same way I can't believe
• 23:53
  we're getting so many through I believe it.
• 23:57
  All right. I lose that you're gonna be
• 23:59
  wishing you wish you chose 8i, I lose, okay?
• 24:08
  So since we were talking about Bulletproof, the other song that
• 24:11
  kind of brought me into To her first album was in for the kill
• 24:15
  and it may be my actually my favorite of the few.
• 24:18
  Yes. Yes.
• 24:20
  So you got it? I got it.
• 24:22
  Yeah me too noise there we are at five just like that.
• 24:31
  Could this you know, I'm not trying to jinx it, but could we
• 24:33
  be the first to get 10? What if we get over it?
• 24:37
  I think I could buy my out. I think we might cause there's
• 24:42
  still quite a few top Runners if yeah if we get 11 or 10 or
• 24:48
  better, it'll be a first deprogrammed first.
• 24:51
  Wow. Because even Bruce Willis only
• 24:54
  got. I think we got nine but we had
• 24:59
  to pull the 10th one out of the trash because there wasn't There
• 25:03
  wasn't, I think nothing missing and I think I'm sick man.
• 25:06
  We had nine but I was a shithead and didn't pictures from The
• 25:09
  Raven or something child. Yeah, look, I regret I regret
• 25:16
  that I know I'm wrong. I can admit it admit your
• 25:20
  mistakes to be in the show. Like the show was a lot
• 25:25
  different when we did six men back to me, huh?
• 25:32
  Who. I go for one.
• 25:39
  Feels like a home run or do I go for one that could be a mess?
• 25:48
  Let me try it out, too. How about this one?
• 25:52
  21st century? No, no, no a Miss, wow.
• 26:02
  Had to happen eventually. Yeah, totally Come on.
• 26:12
  They can all make it. No they can't.
• 26:15
  It just figures. That would be me.
• 26:18
  Well I I figured we'd have this problem with trouble in Paradise
• 26:22
  that we're all going to be kind of on different page there.
• 26:27
  Not yet. Yeah, all right huh.
• 26:30
  I'm gonna go back to self titled in one of the other singles from
• 26:35
  that album is I'm not your toy. And I would I'll say this one's
• 26:41
  actually. I think this one's my favorite.
• 26:44
  I got it, I do not. Okay, so with it, made my first
• 26:50
  pass easily. I just that the first line of
• 26:54
  the song it dries. It gets To me every time love,
• 26:58
  love is like a stubborn youth. What is it?
• 27:01
  Something about dressing trying to get it to dress, right?
• 27:03
  Or something. I don't know.
• 27:07
  I don't know. I don't remember.
• 27:08
  It's like what love is like, a stubborn youth trying to get.
• 27:12
  I don't know. That's funny.
• 27:14
  I'm like, yeah, the the opening line and then, like, I don't
• 27:16
  know what it is. Oh man.
• 27:19
  Happens to me all the time and I do this every week foot in
• 27:23
  mouth. A little off the wall and see
• 27:29
  what happens dude. When when I heard this song come
• 27:34
  up I didn't realize it was on the list and I almost said, can
• 27:39
  we please add it so that I can name it?
• 27:42
  And it's damaged goods. That's number that was number
• 27:48
  16. Oh Jesus.
• 27:50
  No. Like it reminded me like I
• 27:54
  absolutely freakin love that song and I I would like to be on
• 27:58
  a gang of four episode. If you haven't done one yet, I
• 28:01
  don't remember that coming up. So put me down.
• 28:06
  We haven't done it yet and honestly, I first of all you can
• 28:11
  hear it. Like yeah, good Lord.
• 28:13
  I love this. Yeah.
• 28:15
  Ultimately, I ended up taking it off because of gang of for which
• 28:20
  you need reasons when you're at 16.
• 28:22
  Yeah, that's fair. I just you know I don't normally
• 28:27
  We pick a cover because it just, you know, it's not their song.
• 28:31
  But like, I feel like she did it so much in her own way.
• 28:35
  It sounds so different from the original that I almost didn't
• 28:39
  recognize it when it just came up randomly.
• 28:44
  I just absolutely love it and I love the song anyway.
• 28:47
  So it is this is a tremendous cover.
• 28:52
  All right, back around to me, huh?
• 28:56
  Actually let's see, one, two, three, four, five, six, seven.
• 29:01
  Maybe we'll do like two more than just dump out.
• 29:03
  I guess it depends on how these Browns go.
• 29:06
  Um I keep passing over this one but how about silent partner?
• 29:12
  Nope. Let me look at my notes.
• 29:15
  Hold on it. No I don't.
• 29:18
  I didn't have it and I had a specific reason.
• 29:20
  Why? Because it sounded exactly.
• 29:27
  I would like sped up a little bit.
• 29:35
  I was like, is this like Flashdance?
• 29:42
  Hmm. All right, huh?
• 29:45
  Um, I'm going to say automatic driver.
• 29:52
  I got it. I do not.
• 29:54
  That was that was in that last consideration where I was
• 29:58
  overthinking. I guess I should have thought
• 30:03
  about it. Some more I think that songs are
• 30:06
  only single like, from the newest album that she released,
• 30:10
  I'm pretty sure, I know it was a single.
• 30:14
  Yeah, few be hard for me to know, because even I even when I
• 30:20
  The radio nowadays it's usually 96 and pretty much the only way
• 30:26
  I figured is by the fact that like that song has like way more
• 30:30
  plays than the rest of the songs on the album and there's a music
• 30:33
  video to it. If if you if you're if I assume
• 30:37
  some listeners are like me and are visual and do like enjoy
• 30:44
  like watching or experiencing a song with the music video like I
• 30:49
  do. So, a lot of times I will
• 30:52
  picture the song When I'm listening to it and picture the
• 30:54
  music video. Like, I connect the two
• 30:56
  together, so that's always, that's why I always go there
• 30:59
  because some people are visual like that.
• 31:02
  Yeah, honestly. I don't know why.
• 31:03
  I'm not like I love music videos.
• 31:05
  I don't know why I didn't look at all of these seriously.
• 31:08
  All right Jenny, let's see. I'm gonna go with my personal
• 31:13
  favorite from that same album, gullible fool.
• 31:17
  I didn't put that one on. I got it.
• 31:20
  Got it. I feel like that describes me.
• 31:24
  Just it's a personal choice. You know, me too.
• 31:34
  I mean, you know, not maybe actual stories on after the
• 31:40
  fact. Yes.
• 31:44
  All right. Hmm.
• 31:50
  How about we're getting into the nitty-gritty here?
• 31:54
  Let me down gently. Yes, yes.
• 32:00
  Hey, there it is. I like how you get like two and
• 32:06
  a half minutes in and suddenly the song changes because just I
• 32:11
  just have to throw this out there.
• 32:13
  A lot of her songs are really long like 5 to 6 minutes long
• 32:19
  which is very uncharacteristic for pop music.
• 32:21
  Right. Exactly is a lot of musical
• 32:24
  interludes which all which also is on character.
• 32:27
  Its I mean I just realized gullible fool is seven minutes
• 32:30
  long. Yeah.
• 32:32
  That's probably why I didn't pick it.
• 32:34
  I have a short attention span, that's fair.
• 32:38
  And and sometimes that's the reason why I caught a song.
• 32:41
  If it's too short or too long. I'm just like it.
• 32:43
  It's out. All right, we'll come back to
• 32:50
  that later. I'm sure.
• 32:52
  And just like that, I think Jenny just yeah, Jenny just took
• 32:56
  the lead six and I only got three picks left.
• 33:00
  So it is your turn, Jenny, oh shit.
• 33:04
  Um, Tiger Lily, I got it. Nope.
• 33:10
  I've actually actually took it off to replace it with another
• 33:14
  one that I haven't even said you.
• 33:15
  Oh, no II. Love that one like it.
• 33:18
  As this Cuts in was like this voice, that's like the reminding
• 33:22
  me of like Vincent Price coming in on Thriller and like it had
• 33:27
  this like, toxic masculinity, vibe to it that, you know, I
• 33:31
  like that kind of message. She's like, basically, like how
• 33:33
  do you feel about being watched and being followed and all this
• 33:37
  kind of stuff? And I was like, I'm into this,
• 33:40
  you know, I mean not into being soft and followed but just the
• 33:44
  theme of the song. Gotcha.
• 33:46
  Okay. So I think I'm Messed that up
• 33:49
  because I think I did let me down gently and then I skipped
• 33:53
  you Hon. Oh yeah, you skipped me.
• 33:55
  Oh yes, normally I'm like, hey you skipped me but clearly I'm
• 34:00
  not, I don't care. So this is one, this is funny.
• 34:06
  I'm not sure if you caught on when I texted this to you but
• 34:09
  Paradise is you. I got it.
• 34:12
  I got it. Hey, none of us when I should
• 34:15
  have. Went seven.
• 34:16
  Damn it. I texted Justin.
• 34:25
  I'm like my Paradise is you babe?
• 34:29
  It's so corny, but it's so good. Like I don't know.
• 34:32
  Right. It's a pop song.
• 34:33
  Like it's for ya dumb with you. That was that was awesome.
• 34:37
  Italy. Why I chose that?
• 34:37
  I was like it's kind of cheesy. Like like the message is not
• 34:42
  very deep but I approve of the message, I like it.
• 34:44
  So therefore it's in All right, and just like that.
• 34:51
  I'm down to my last one. Fascination.
• 34:57
  Nope. Okay.
• 35:00
  Own on that one. All right.
• 35:02
  And you can't get any more unanimous.
• 35:06
  So we're at 7. None of us win which means we
• 35:09
  got to discuss our way out whatever you got left on.
• 35:14
  All right. Um let me see what we already.
• 35:18
  Okay no I'm just trying to see which ones we haven't.
• 35:22
  Said okay. I have as if by Magic.
• 35:27
  Nope. That was like probably my last
• 35:30
  cut by actual last cut and that's the one I replaced.
• 35:37
  The other song, which oh, Tiger Tiger, Lily, I've replaced it
• 35:40
  with this one and then Reflections are protection.
• 35:43
  I have that one. Alrighty, and then I have do we
• 35:50
  already, we mention everything I live for, right?
• 35:53
  Okay, he rides. Do you feel?
• 35:59
  Yes, I do. Yes, do you think?
• 36:05
  Yes, and here you can find I go that's it for me but clearly I
• 36:11
  was the spoiler on some of these and pick some Oddball shit which
• 36:15
  is fine because that's where I live in the land of Oddball
• 36:19
  shit. So my last ones that I had were
• 36:23
  cruel sexuality. Oh, I have that one.
• 36:28
  Wait so did you say It know you didn't.
• 36:30
  Oh, I'll dang. I have Krill sexuality, it's
• 36:35
  hard for me to keep track because like I'm doing this on
• 36:37
  paper for the first time in like forever.
• 36:40
  And I'm like, oh we're I can't read my own handwriting shit and
• 36:45
  I think my other one that I had left was International woman of
• 36:49
  leisure. I wanted to put that one on my
• 36:53
  list so bad just because of the name, the title, that's
• 36:56
  basically why. I mean it's fun.
• 36:58
  Unlike all of her songs are but yeah, I love the title.
• 37:02
  Like, you can get me with a good title.
• 37:04
  Yeah. Agreed.
• 37:05
  So for the record trouble in Paradise, the only songs that
• 37:11
  none of us used were tropical Zhang, this isn't weird in the
• 37:20
  feeling. Those are the only ones that we
• 37:22
  didn't pick in the only miss off of it was when I picked silent
• 37:26
  partner. So again, If you needed reasons
• 37:30
  trouble in Paradise I think. I think we were correct on.
• 37:34
  OK. And I almost had the feeling
• 37:36
  like that. Was that was in that last like
• 37:38
  okay, which one am I going to put in place of as if by magic
• 37:44
  or whatever that one? Let last one was I also am.
• 37:47
  I almost had cruel sexuality as well but I think at that point I
• 37:50
  was on a run of like I had to makes too many.
• 37:54
  It's like okay, Something's Gotta Go.
• 37:57
  All right, so we've got seven all the way through already.
• 38:00
  We've got in for the kill. Bulletproof uptight downtown
• 38:03
  kissing, not tell paradises, you let me down gently and
• 38:05
  everything I live for to this. so, the ones that we have to
• 38:13
  choose, We have Tiger Lily, I'm not your toy Reflections are
• 38:20
  protection, cruel sex and sexuality, sex or Tech?
• 38:24
  Do you feel automatic driver in gullible fool?
• 38:27
  So we only have three pics here. These aren't mixed.
• 38:37
  I put these in wrong. I put the albums where the songs
• 38:40
  are in the song squared. Oops.
• 38:43
  Well, I'm good with us putting Tigerlily through.
• 38:45
  I definitely I know that LaRue that's one of her favorites.
• 38:49
  Personally one of her favorites from okay or that album.
• 38:52
  I think that's a good reason to give.
• 38:55
  I had it on my list and I literally like took it off to
• 38:58
  put a different one on instead just before the show.
• 39:00
  So I think I also think that that, okay, so we've got four
• 39:06
  through already, we got four through unanimously From trouble
• 39:11
  in Paradise. So this also good.
• 39:15
  Yeah. Well, you know, for sure I think
• 39:18
  we're because this gives us three four self-titled.
• 39:22
  So do we take two from supervision to round it out?
• 39:26
  Do you think because we only got one or do we care about
• 39:29
  representation? I mean it it's I don't care a
• 39:36
  whole lot, but I just like a little bit of representation
• 39:39
  from each album. So I would say automatic driver
• 39:43
  probably and then we can leave the the 10th song open to what,
• 39:49
  you know, best of what what's left if anybody has any
• 39:53
  opposition to automatic driver know, okay, so let's take
• 39:58
  automatic driver. Alright and then let's sort that
• 40:02
  down. So that leaves us with I'm not
• 40:05
  your toy Reflections or protection.
• 40:07
  Cruel sexuality. Sex Attack.
• 40:10
  Do you feel? Gullible fool.
• 40:12
  All right. Is there something?
• 40:13
  That's kind of jumping out at ya hon.
• 40:15
  That you think well personally I'm not your toy because that's
• 40:20
  one of my favorite songs by her. Hmm.
• 40:24
  But again that one is I mean from self-titled and then we're
• 40:28
  going to have like And for and then 442.
• 40:32
  But I mean also that's not bad. It also should be noted that
• 40:35
  supervision is only eight songs. Anyway, Drew that's very, that's
• 40:39
  very true. So, is there something jumping
• 40:42
  out at you, Jenny? Oh my God, I can't even I told
• 40:48
  you I can't read my handwriting. I don't know like I feel like it
• 40:54
  could really go a lot of different ways here.
• 40:58
  I mean, like I said, I really like gullible fool.
• 41:08
  We got that. But I really feel strong at
• 41:12
  Swiss. I don't have a lot of some of
• 41:16
  these. It's like, yeah.
• 41:19
  How do you feel about? I'm not your toy.
• 41:23
  The only thing about that one is that it actually I was about to
• 41:28
  say, this is a negative and it's really not.
• 41:29
  It's like that one has a really strong Vibe of that, that
• 41:34
  chiptune kind of sound, which is, I think it's why I didn't
• 41:39
  choose it but I really don't have any problem with it being
• 41:43
  on there because it did make my first pass.
• 41:45
  I like that song. So let's go for it.
• 41:47
  It is very similar to automatic driver.
• 41:51
  I would say if you had to like her Here it to a song, Another
• 41:55
  Song by her. Is that enough for you to not,
• 41:59
  not in subject matter? But in sound, is that enough for
• 42:04
  you to kind of relinquish the song and go to bed for something
• 42:09
  else? Huh?
• 42:12
  No because that like I said like I'm not your toy as is my
• 42:17
  favorite song by by LaRue like period.
• 42:20
  So so we got our 10 then here we go.
• 42:23
  In for the kill. Bulletproof uptight downtown
• 42:25
  kissing. Not tell Paradise as you.
• 42:27
  Let me down gently everything. I live for Tiger Lily.
• 42:29
  Automatic driver in. I'm not your toy.
• 42:32
  Now based on those ten songs on which one is the one.
• 42:38
  So I went into this preparing to make an argument for, I'm not
• 42:42
  your toy to be the number one but obviously that wasn't one of
• 42:45
  the ones that went through so that shouldn't really I don't
• 42:50
  think that that should be in the running.
• 42:51
  Also, although bulletproof is kind of like an obvious pick.
• 42:58
  I almost want to like say, in for the kill, I almost want to
• 43:03
  be like, no, let's go for the other.
• 43:05
  The other height from that album.
• 43:08
  Definitely would not choose bulletproof.
• 43:09
  I think especially the fact that like if you've heard any song
• 43:13
  from her, you've heard that one, right?
• 43:16
  And Did we lose her? I want to use song tourism.
• 43:26
  Just kind of going. Oh no, yeah albums here it's in.
• 43:32
  Yeah. So I was saying that like being
• 43:37
  that it's not her favorite song and you know, it's if you've
• 43:42
  heard any song of hers it's that one.
• 43:45
  I can't put a lot of weight behind bulletproof.
• 43:48
  Anyway. So, you know, I I'm leaning
• 43:52
  towards either in for the kill or uptight down.
• 43:57
  I I lean towards In For the Kill because I'm always a I love when
• 44:05
  track one album, one tells you exactly what you're going to
• 44:08
  get. Yeah.
• 44:09
  I know I didn't lead off with that.
• 44:10
  I let off with bulletproof but in for the kill tell gets gets
• 44:16
  you ready for her, you know you put your push playing like okay
• 44:19
  here she is. This is this is what's up.
• 44:22
  I also really really dig up tight downtown so that's the
• 44:25
  only other NG I would take into consideration.
• 44:27
  So I mean, I actually lean a little bit more uptake downtown.
• 44:31
  I feel like that song represents her music and like probably more
• 44:37
  where she's going from here on out more than something from the
• 44:41
  first album where she was working with this partner, that
• 44:44
  is no longer with her even though I do love in for the
• 44:48
  kill, like I said it's it's probably my favorite off of that
• 44:51
  album. You know, the other one, just,
• 44:56
  it's just, like I said, it's just so much fun.
• 44:59
  And it's, I think it represents her a little bit better.
• 45:02
  Could I know this never makes it easy?
• 45:05
  Can we listen to some of it? Yes, we can.
• 45:10
  See if it's actually. Nope, of course not connected
• 45:13
  back to the computer. Kaput the Dora.
• 45:26
  Baseline. Like this is put you in a mood.
• 45:47
  The definitely like it definitely has that 80s.
• 45:49
  Vibe that I'm with it, you know. If anybody has objections, let
• 46:04
  them speak. I'm going to take that as no
• 46:08
  objections. We got her.
• 46:10
  Got her number one, tight downtown.
• 46:14
  All right, so let's go through it up, tight downtown, you know.
• 46:18
  Let me start the song over because that's how we do this.
• 46:21
  Just in you know you're a professional.
• 46:22
  You know how to do this. Uptight downtown is our number
• 46:26
  one in for the kill. Bulletproof, kiss and not tell
• 46:28
  paradises. You let me down gently
• 46:31
  everything. I live for Tiger Lily, automatic
• 46:33
  driver. And I'm not your toy round out
• 46:35
  our 10. Let's let uptight downtown.
• 46:37
  Get a little moment in the Sun. We've done did something.
• 47:02
  We've done done it. We done.
• 47:05
  We don't convince the of LaRue and like I said at the beginning
• 47:09
  I always feel like it's worth repeating here at this point.
• 47:12
  This isn't a deep discography if you liked any of these songs,
• 47:16
  just take the dive. It's worth it.
• 47:17
  You'll enjoy it. There's If again, if you've even
• 47:22
  already heard bulletproof before giving this like it's worth
• 47:25
  taking the dive. It won't take you long you'll
• 47:27
  enjoy it that's a promise. I also promise you this if you
