0:08
Hello and welcome back. You're listening to Galaxy
0:11
Crashers, The Busted, and McFly podcast.
0:14
The only podcast where Busted and McFly come together.
0:17
Brought to you by two mums who cannot believe they are
0:20
recording their 31st episode of their silly podcast about two
0:23
boy bands from the naughties. I'm Shan and.
0:26
I'm Tay and coming up this week we have done it again.
0:30
We've completed yet another album and this time it's busted.
0:33
Self-titled debut album and what a banger it is.
0:40
Absolute madness. So again, in this episode we're
0:42
going to do a big fat refresher, a re ranking and a just just a
0:47
good old narrow about how great the album is I guess.
0:50
Absolutely, I am bunsed for this one.
0:53
Before we start our chit chat, how are you?
0:57
What's your week been like this week?
0:59
Yeah, it's not been too bad. We've had sports day this week,
1:03
so it's been, it's a delayed sports day.
1:05
It was supposed to be the week before, ended up being this week
1:08
because of the weather, but yeah, it was great.
1:09
I end up working it, which was quite hard because it was Aria's
1:13
first ever sports day so. Like Karen, who's also ATA.
1:17
That's hard, yeah. They were like, you're with the
1:19
blue team. I was like, can I please be with
1:20
the yellow team? And he was like, no, no, no, no,
1:24
no. I was like, oh, got it.
1:26
Oh, a nightmare it. Was fine.
1:28
Yeah, it was fine. How are you love?
1:30
That yeah, I'm OK. My mum is here from France,
1:33
which is so nice. Means we've got a few extra
1:36
helping hands with Molly. So I've had a couple of little
1:40
lions, which is really nice. Oh.
1:42
What a trick. And it means that I get like an
1:44
hour a day to just do my own thing and, you know, wash up
1:47
without somebody pulling on my trouser leg, which is great.
1:51
Yeah. So other than that, I haven't
1:53
done loads. It's just been a casual week.
1:55
And I'm not being funny. I'm not buzzed about this
1:57
weather, but apparently we've got a heat wave coming.
2:00
Next thing. Lovely.
2:01
So I'm not it's been. Miserable.
2:02
It's I went and bought new garden furniture because we had
2:05
that heat wave and I was like yes, sit outside, glass of wine
2:09
of an evening, read my book outside in the sun, literally
2:13
got home, put it up within the evening came pissed it down.
2:16
Not pissing on three days since SO.
2:18
That's so annoying. It is what it is, but we've got
2:21
a heat wave coming, so it's. Fine, the girls are banging on
2:23
about getting a swimming pool and I was like not until the
2:26
summer holidays because I knew the heat wave is literally a
2:29
wave. It will end.
2:31
Well, it's coming next week. I think.
2:32
The whole of next week looks really nice though.
2:34
Bring on the barbecues, I say. So this week we're reviewing
2:39
Busted self-titled album. Yes.
2:43
Let's go. So firstly, we're going to talk
2:45
a little bit about the album as a whole.
2:47
Does it work? Is it cohesive?
2:49
Etcetera, etcetera. Also, we're going to go over our
2:52
original ratings, how they fare with the rest of the album, and
2:55
would we change any of them now looking back?
2:59
Yeah, we did that quite a lot last week, didn't we, With
3:00
McFarland? I think I've made quite a few
3:02
changes. Yeah.
3:03
And finally, in a list of all the albums by Busted, where
3:07
would we place it? OK, Are you ready?
3:10
What do you think about this album in its entirety?
3:14
Think about the whole album, not just the songs that you did rate
3:16
really well or rate, you know, What do you think?
3:19
I would say if I was to place this album on like a scale of
3:22
like all of Busted's albums, this album would come second.
3:28
Oh. That's interesting because I
3:32
know what albums first for you, so I know where we're at with
3:36
that. And I'm very excited for the
3:38
next boss, next recording. No spoilers please.
3:45
Love that, love that. OK, yeah.
3:49
Not a not a favourite, OK, not like not as high as you rank it,
3:55
But actually, if I think about the albums as a whole, Oh yeah.
4:00
But Greatest Hits was banger. Oh no, no, I'll stick with two.
4:07
I think I'm going to rate it a four.
4:08
Like not a rate it a four, but like the fourth album in terms
4:12
of like all their albums together.
4:14
Where would I rate it? Because you know how I feel
4:18
about halfway there. We'll get that.
4:22
The same way I feel about it. No, very different, very
4:24
different. But I think actually, yeah, it's
4:27
a good album, but it there's definitely better ones, I think
4:31
for me. OK.
4:34
I think that reflects in your ratings actually.
4:36
Yeah, I think it might. I don't think I was too harsh.
4:39
I think I did. I think I was nicer than I was
4:42
with McFly, so let's put it that way.
4:43
And that's saying something because I'm a Team McFly gal,
4:46
so. Yeah.
4:48
Although we we both know and those, those that listen to the
4:51
podcast will also know that I'm in my busted era again, I have
4:54
like. You are in your busted era.
4:56
I've just reformed my my busted brain.
4:59
It just. Can't use that word of these
5:01
days. Well, yeah, true, it took a
5:03
backseat. Oh no, it will change the name
5:05
of the the live political speeches.
5:08
Galaxy just Galaxy crashes are talking about how busted
5:11
reformed. Yeah, no, not ideal, but yeah,
5:15
I'm I'm happy with it. I think it's a good album.
5:17
But yeah, I'm definitely in my Team Busted era for for a
5:19
moment, maybe not for too long. Shall we look at what we
5:23
originally rated the songs? We're going to talk through each
5:27
song. Last time, the review from
5:30
Mcfly's album ended up being a really long episode because once
5:33
we started talking about the songs, we couldn't stop talking
5:36
about the song. So we'll see how we do with this
5:38
week. Shall I read your reviews?
5:40
And you read mine? Your ratings?
5:42
Yeah. Yeah, let's do that.
5:43
OK, I'll let you go first. OK, So what I go to school for?
5:46
You rated it as 7.5. That's what I go to school for,
5:50
yes. OK, I, I feel like that was
5:53
quite a good rating, although I do feel on the scale of like 1
5:58
to 10, I think maybe I was probably a little bit harsh.
6:01
I feel like I'm going to up it to an 8.
6:03
Oh, interesting. I feel like I'm going to up to
6:05
an 8. I feel like 7.5.
6:06
I just that that little half a point, it definitely deserves
6:09
that little half a point. So yeah, I'm upping to an 8.
6:12
I feel like it's very nostalgic. The song itself is actually, if
6:18
you think about the fact that they were like 17 and 19 at the
6:22
time, like that was a massive song.
6:26
And we all know that, you know, it was, it was their debut.
6:31
Like the way they started to present themselves as like these
6:34
teenage boys and like we were teenage girls that were all
6:38
slightly in love with them and had places of them on our walls
6:41
and whatnot. I think this video, it's the the
6:44
video for it makes the song for me.
6:47
Yeah, I agree. I feel like I.
6:48
See the video. Every time I hear the song I can
6:51
literally picture them like doing their little busted jump
6:57
with their guitars and their school ties and their Blazers.
7:01
Like in front of the school with all those people behind there,
7:04
Yeah. All of the other teenagers
7:05
behind them, like we were in our back in our school days, you
7:08
know? And I feel like the whole Miss
7:10
Mackenzie suck stuff. Also in my 33 year old era.
7:15
So. So she may be 33.
7:17
That's me right now. You live in your Miss Mackenzie
7:20
life. You.
7:21
Live in my Miss Mackenzie life and I'm a teacher So what can I
7:24
say? Obviously took a lot from this
7:26
song. I'm like, I'm going to be a Miss
7:28
Mackenzie. You really embodied this song.
7:31
Absolutely. Absolutely.
7:33
So yeah, I'm. I'm here for it.
7:34
I think it's an 8. You originally rated this song
7:37
an 8, so I did copied. You just copied and pasted.
7:40
Copy and paste. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
7:43
I, I think I would stick and stick with an 8.
7:48
Yeah. I just think I completely, and I
7:52
think I said this in the episode where we recorded this,
7:54
completely contradict everything I've said about McFly because I
7:58
always say they're hits. I don't really like, they're
8:02
overplayed. But the difference I think is I
8:05
listen to McFly as a band that I still enjoy now.
8:09
I've always enjoyed. I've like grown with them and
8:13
still listen to, whereas this album, I listen to it as like,
8:18
nostalgic feels, yeah. Yeah, yeah.
8:21
So an overplayed nostalgic song isn't really an overplayed song
8:26
in my eyes. Yeah, yeah, I think about the
8:28
difference. Yeah, I agree with you.
8:30
Do you have like a favourite bit of this song or the video?
8:33
Like what do you think about when you hear this?
8:38
I think about Matt falling out the tree, I think about Charlie
8:45
being chased and actually, do you know what, that bit outside
8:51
the school with all those people behind them.
8:52
Yeah, yeah. I think that's like a key
8:56
moment, isn't it, in that video? Yeah.
8:58
Love that. Yeah.
8:59
What do you think about? Matt Willis on the floor picking
9:03
up his pencil and like, looking up at the sexy teacher and he's
9:07
just like, yeah, what else would you think?
9:12
Love that. What else would you think about?
9:16
Literally Matt Willis on his knees.
9:18
I mean, what got a bit carried away there got.
9:22
A bit carried away, got a little bit of Ferrell.
9:25
Sorry, I can't help myself. It's Matt Willis.
9:27
Calm down, I. Need to calm down.
9:31
It's just been it's been one of those weeks.
9:33
It's been one of those weeks. Everything's just coming out
9:37
now. We're live in front of people.

9:46

10:15

10:18
Can I sorry, can we just pause for one second?
10:20

10:27

10:37
You said no. Close bracket.
10:39
Are you ready? I'm ready.
10:41
You rated it an 8. I'm here for it.
10:46
I'm here for my eight. Yeah, I love it.
10:49
Absolutely love this song. I feel like this is the first
10:52
song I really fell in love with with Busted.
10:55
I loved what I go to school for. It was one of those songs
10:58
everybody knew and we were like, oh, have you had that song?
11:00
Right, this new band. But when I bought the CD, this
11:04
was like, if I put the CD on, this was the first song I wanted
11:07
to listen to. Sometimes I'd go skip to Crash
11:10
and Burn and then skip back and go to what I go to school for
11:12
and listen to it twice because I loved it so much.
11:16
And like I said most people now know it as you said no like the
11:20
the newer audiences would know it as you said no.
11:22
The OG girls from back in 2000. Days.
11:26
Know it as crash and burn and I just think it's it's not even
11:31
very very well written it's not OK I mean I.
11:35
Like this song? It's good, but like I think for
11:37
me it's the. I think that's it.
11:47
It's the like. And it's Charlie's.
11:50
You're Sophie and you know it. Do I, Charlie?
11:56
I'm not sure I do because I. Do I know?
11:57
It absolute ugger in 2002, let's just put it that way.
12:02
Things haven't improved, but when I think of this album, this
12:09
is the song I think of. I don't like.
12:12
Obviously there's loads of songs that you you know well from this
12:14
album, but I feel like Crash and Burn is always my like go to.
12:19
Like it was always my first play always.
12:22
I don't even really remember that.
12:24
Was there a music video? I can't remember the music
12:26
video. Yeah, it was.
12:28
It was so good. They were at like a skate park
12:30
and they're like jumping in the air on their bikes.
12:33
Yes, you were right. I'm just getting it up on the
12:36
screen so I can have a little look at it.
12:38
Of course, how can I? How can I forget?
12:41
The IT was so good. The actual screen grab, like the
12:44
cover photo for this is very close up of Matt Willis's face
12:48
and he's just like, he's got his little mouth open.
12:51
He's like looking over his shoulder.
12:53
He's got his like. Really good impression.
12:54
Stripy. I'm now I'm great, aren't I?
12:56
He's got a stripy hoodie on and he's just like.
13:00
That's so funny. Why do I look like a snail man?
13:04
Snail. Snail.
13:07
Oh, my goodness. Hello, Morgan.
13:09
How are you? Hey.
13:11
Yeah, not good. I do remember.
13:14
Sorry. I was going to say I do remember
13:16
the video. What I remember the most about
13:18
this video is Matt Willis's Bleach Tips.
13:23
Oh yeah, we talked about that with.
13:25
Invitee fit. Yeah, we talked about that with
13:28
the Busted experience, didn't we?
13:29
His head, Yeah. I'm here for it.
13:31
And you know what? I think I saw a video of an
13:34
interview with Matt Willis. It might have even been for On
13:37
the Mend or something else I can't remember where they were
13:39
talking through his hairstyles and they like showed him a
13:43
picture of like 2004 mat hair and he was just like May.
13:48
I had so many awful hairstyles and I was like, we loved all of
13:51
them. Like we lapped them all up the
13:52
purple, the the like leopard print, the white blonde tips.
13:58
I was here for it. Absolutely sorry.
13:59
You were going to ask me a question and I cut you off.
14:01
I was, I was just going to say, would you keep it as an A you're
14:04
rating? Yeah, I think I would.
14:06
I think it's hard because I think there are better songs on
14:11
the album, but I don't. I think for me it's like it is
14:15
like nostalgia. I used to go straight to it.
14:18
Like now it's not like one that I'm like, Oh yeah, I want to
14:21
listen to it straight away. It's not like this is this isn't
14:24
if I go to listen to Busted, this isn't the album I would
14:27
play straight off. We've already established that.
14:30
But I would put it on shuffle and be very happy if it came on.
14:34
Do you know what I mean? Yeah, yeah, yeah, definitely.
14:35
So I feel like I feel like an 8 is quite a, a good rating for
14:39
it. So yeah, I'm.
14:40
Going to stick. I like that.
14:40
I'm going. To stick with it, I'm going to
14:41
stick with the eight. You rated this song as 7, so you
14:45
were slightly less than me. I'm actually going to change my
14:49
mind. I don't know why I would have
14:53
ever rated my favourite bastards.
14:57
I was going to say my favourite busted single, but it's actually
15:00
not my favourite busted single on this album.
15:06
I don't know why I would have rated it lower than other Busted
15:10
singles. I don't know why I rated it
15:11
lower than what I go to school for.
15:15
I rated it the same as other single I.
15:17
I would think I would change this to 8.5.
15:21
Oh, it's a 1.5 rise there. I genuinely love this song the I
15:28
can just see the the music video but specifically the music video
15:32
on my old family computers YouTube.
15:36
Like Windows 98. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
15:39
Or. Like on clunked when you turned
15:41
it on. Yeah.
15:43
Or like, Oh yeah, I can see the music video on the music
15:47
channels specifically like E4 or something where they have to
15:51
like bleep out all the swearing. Yeah, absolutely.
15:55
I love this song. I think it is absolutely
15:58
brilliant. I think it is up there, maybe
16:01
tied with my favourite Busted single.
16:05
I would say OK yeah, I love it. I just think there's no notes
16:10
for this song. Music really is hilarious.
16:12
The song is brilliant and the vocals are really good.
16:17
As due to dance at the disco. So good you.
16:22
Said no. It's like the little shouting
16:24
and like they're all like, it's the energy in it.
16:27
And can I just say as well, if this song wasn't already an 8.5
16:35
for Charlie's final note, singing it live alone at your.
16:40
Feet. No, it's the I crush.
16:44
Oh, you mean that? Oh, I'm thinking yeah, yeah, of
16:47
course. Oh, and when he does it live,
16:49
it's like screamo. Yeah, I am here for that.
16:53
Yeah, I know you're a very, very much a screamo Charlie Simpson
16:57
fan. Oh, I love it.
16:58
So yeah, that gets the 1.5 on its own.
17:02
And that's the live version we know.
17:03
We love it all live again. I'm the same as I am with McFly
17:06
all. Of everything is turn out to
17:08
turn live. There's just no, there is no
17:10
notes live ever because I'm so in my in my element that like.
17:14
I would say probably even the ones I rated A2 I would probably
17:17
give a 10 out of 10 live. Absolutely.
17:21
Just like you'd also be like, oh, they're singing this song.
17:24
Yeah, because they don't ever sing this song.
17:28
Yeah. OK, now I know the next one is a
17:31
big song for you. Because when we started
17:33
recording this album, when we started talking, I think in the
17:35
first episode you'd mentioned this song already.
17:37
And I was like you're already name drop dropping track 3.
17:40
Name drop him. Yeah, so then track 3 is
17:45
Britney. It is.
17:47
So you rated this song 9. I did.
17:51
Would you say that? Oh.
17:55
It's really hard because I think, I think I'd raise it.
18:01
I think I'd give it a 9.5. OK, OK, coming over to the dark
18:05
side, aren't we? Because I love this song.
18:08
It's just, I think it's the stalker element that takes that
18:11
knit on time. I'm like, oh, you really like
18:13
Britney Spears? You really It's it's how I feel
18:17
about Please Please by McFly. This is this is.
18:22
This is Please please it. Actually is 100%.
18:26
But like, slightly cleverer, cleverer.
18:28
Yeah, I mean, they both they both name drop because it's
18:32
please, please, Lindsay, please. And it's I want you Brittany.
18:35
So, you know, I think for me it's very highly rated because
18:41
the lyrics are clever. The way they weave her not only
18:45
her lyrics into this song, but like, her vocal vocality.
18:48
Yeah, they do that like, I need you here with me.
18:55
Like it's really cute, you know, and like the way that they, I
18:59
don't know, I just think they embody Britney's style, but in a
19:04
pop Brock way, which I love. I thought it was just very
19:07
clever. And I think as well it's
19:08
something that McFly McFly do as well.
19:11
Like they often have songs that have slightly different styles,
19:14
but they never lose their sound. Yes, you can tell who it is when
19:19
you're listening, even if it's slightly different in like the
19:22
genre side of things or like the.
19:25
Are we talking about Patrick to the Musical here?
19:28
No. It sounds like there's an inside
19:31
musical written for McFly. Absolutely not.
19:34
It's really funny because I was looking at an Instagram video
19:36
today on James, what's his name? James Hameed.
19:41
Is it James Hameed? Oh, Paddington.
19:44
Yeah. I hope I'm saying his name
19:46
wrong. Right?
19:46
Because if I'm wrong, I'm awfully, awfully sorry.
19:49
I'm sure it's James Hameed. I was on his page and he posted
19:52
a video of him seeing Hard Stare and friend of the podcast Gem
19:59
who listens to all our episodes and we we often have lots of
20:03
interactions with online. She'd commented underneath like
20:05
we need a Paddington and McFly crossover.
20:10
I was like, Hun, I second this. And she was like, how can we
20:13
make this happen? I was like, I need to bring it
20:15
up on the podcast. This needs to happen because
20:18
that song really does have like so much and you can listen to it
20:22
literally. I remember saying to you before
20:24
I was listening to it in the car and I was like, this is so
20:27
McFly. It's so McFly.
20:29
And. Unless you're like a real heavy
20:32
McFly fan, you're not going to hear those moments.
20:37
Yeah. Yeah, and I love that.
20:39
I think that's great. And I think there's something
20:40
Busted do as well. Like they don't lose their their
20:42
tonality and their sound. It stays no matter how they
20:45
change their songs. And this album really does have
20:49
that, like, drastic change from like, gimmicky and upbeat and
20:56
crazy to like the next track, which is slow and sad and a bit
21:02
of a ballad. And that's like a massive thing
21:04
on this album. It happens quite a lot.
21:06
I think there's two or three songs maybe.
21:08
Yeah, I'd say there's maybe 4. There's four songs on this album
21:12
that I would consider ballads 4. OK, Yeah.
21:17
I think they're very much like balancing out their gimmicky,
21:23
fun side of things with the like.
21:25
We can also be serious. Yes, we've written a song about
21:28
how much we fancy Britney Spears.
21:31
Yeah, but also we're going to make it good.
21:33
Yeah, we've written songs about love and whatever as well.
21:36
So yeah, I'm, I'm going to stick with it.
21:39
I think 9.59 point five. Yeah, I've definitely, I'm, I'm
21:42
up in the .5. I'm happy with that.
21:46
Apparently you fucking love this song.
21:47
She rated it at 10. I fucking love this song.
21:49
It's still a tan. I ain't changing that.
21:52
I could never go lower. I think this song is so good.
21:56
This song has got like an emotional connection to me.
21:59
And I know that's not really stupid considering a song about
22:01
Britney Spears. But like when this song came
22:04
out, I said it. I said it way back when.
22:07
If you listen to the podcast, I'm just repeating myself now,
22:10
but we I said it on the Britney episode where I said me and my
22:15
mum collected all the little the tops off of penta cans and sent
22:20
them off to get the single. I worked hard for this song.
22:23
Don't. Mind, we were like 12.
22:28
Yeah, so I so, yeah. And I just think it's brilliant.
22:32
And the fact they've started like sprinkling it back into the
22:35
set and I just think it's so good and it's so fucking.
22:40
It's so clever. If you're not a Britney fan, you
22:45
can still tell it's about Britney Spears though.
22:48
You don't get the references, but you can get like the may the
22:51
twinges. Of like her style in there.
22:54
Yeah, but if you are a Britney fan, you appreciate I'm mad,
22:59
Yeah, I'm a slave for you. And like, they've just
23:03
referenced so much. I just think it's AB.
23:05
It's brilliant. It's 10 out of 10.
23:06
No. No, I think my favourite lyric
23:10
is you say that you're not a girl.
23:13
Well, I'll make you. I'll make you a woman.
23:16
So yes, yes, busted, I'm here. For that reference.
23:21
Love that, absolutely love that. Can we also talk about Charlie
23:25
Simpson's Britney wife beater from the Busted versus McFly
23:29
talk? I mean, if you don't already
23:30
like this song, you're going to like it when you see it live.
23:32
Sorry when he came out in it like because I'd seen videos of
23:35
him wearing it and I'd seen videos of him wearing other
23:38
things and then he came out and I just screamed to Steve.
23:41
He's wearing the Britney wide fear.
23:44
So happy. What firstly, can I just say?
23:47
Can we just take a minute for Charlie Simpson in general?
23:50
Absolutely. What a man, what a man, what a
23:55
man. He's just so talented.
23:58
Yeah, he's he's, what's the word?
24:01
Versatile. Versatile is the word.
24:04
He can tickle everyone's pickle musically.
24:10
And maybe not musically. And maybe not but but I was
24:14
talking musically. I was talking musically.
24:18
I was thinking, not musically. I'm sorry.
24:23
I don't know what's wrong with. Me.
24:27
Today. Oh dear.
24:28
Yeah. OK.
24:31
Praise the Lord, Charlie Simpson.
24:32
We'll leave it there. Thank you very much.
24:34
OK, track #4 is a little bit of a a tone change.
24:39
Do you want to talk track #4? Track #4 is losing you and right
24:42
from the top of my head I can't remember how the song goes.
24:47
I will also say that I didn't give a rating to this song.
24:51
No, it's my fault. I talked to so much about how
24:53
much I didn't like it. And then we just moved on.
24:56
Yeah. I need to remember how it starts
24:59
though, because I can hear the yeah, yeah, yeah.
25:02
Isn't that it? Isn't that Hannah Montana?
25:05
No, I know how it goes. You sound like you're just doing
25:10
a Hannah Montana interlude. No, it's yeah, yeah, yeah.
25:13
I'm sitting here alone, thinking it through, trying to convince.
25:18
Myself. OK, I'm back.
25:22
I'm back, OK. Get it?
25:23
What? What would I write this song
25:25
considering this is my fresh rating?
25:28
So fresh. Rating Oh my God, this just in.
25:31
Just in Shannon Johns losing you 3.5.
25:39
I hope Ben's not here. Is he gone?
25:42
I would have all that myself just for saying that I.
25:44
Think he's gone? It's fine.
25:46
It's fine. I'm safe.
25:47
I'm safe. So, friends.
25:48
Brutal. That's brutal.
25:51
Shut up, you gave it a four. I know, but I I really don't
25:54
like it. But I gave it a four.
25:59
If I was being completely honest, I'd probably probably
26:02
should rate it 3.5 as well, but. You're giving me stick and
26:07
you're going to come back at 3.5?
26:10
Firstly, up your bum. I was just shocked because you
26:17
didn't give it a rating. So I almost was expecting you to
26:20
say that you liked the song. But let's let's just let's just
26:25
think about it for a minute. OK?
26:26
I, I originally went for you're going 3.5.
26:29
I'm thinking probably could drop it .5.
26:32
It's not that it's a bad song, it's actually quite a good song
26:36
in that the lyrics are quite good.
26:40
The lyric I really like is. She really likes it so much
26:45
she's got to look at it on Google.
26:47
No, I'm sorry. It's a lot of lyrics to
26:49
remember. It's I'm swimming against the
26:52
tide and I'm praying for a lifeline.
26:54
Love that. But my there's another bit.
26:58
Do you know what I do like? My problem.
27:00
My only problem with this song, literally my only problem, is
27:03
that I'm not a huge fan of the busted ballads.
27:06
Yeah, see, I like a Charlie Simpson ballad.
27:10
I am here for Charlie's voice. So would you call 3 AMA ballad?
27:15
Because I wouldn't. No, no, no, no, no, no, not at
27:21
all. There are there are parts of
27:23
three M that you would you might consider more soft ballad style,
27:27
but it's not a ballad, no. I feel like it's.
27:29
All the way through, yeah, it's a bit more like like it's, it's
27:34
very it, yes. If you look to the lyrics, you
27:36
might think it was a ballad, but actually listening to it, I
27:39
think this song, it's it's lyrically it's OK, It's OK, It's
27:45
good. I think it actually works.
27:47
I like the patterns, I like the style, I like the way they sing
27:50
it. I think it's just a bit dreary.
27:52
And I think I remember saying that in the episode, and can you
27:57
remember they said as well that they don't like playing it.
28:00
Yeah. They said that this isn't one
28:03
that they they like to play on tour.
28:06
If I was feeling really, really sad and this song came on, I
28:09
wouldn't turn it off. But I'm not, so I probably would
28:12
turn it off. Yeah, there are so many better.
28:18
Yeah, and I think that's it. It's not that it's a bad song,
28:21
but another thing to remember if you didn't listen to me say it
28:25
last time and 500 times before, we don't rank these songs, rate
28:30
these songs based on all the music in the world.
28:33
We based these songs on other Busted songs.
28:37
The same with McFly. We rank them, rate them in order
28:40
of what their best songs are. I would rate any Busted a McFly
28:46
song over a lot of music. Yeah, I was just about to say
28:50
that. My top, top two boy bands of all
28:53
time. Do you know what I mean?
28:54
Like, I don't. There's no other boy bands that
28:57
are above McFly Busted. For me that is like top, closely
29:01
followed by Westlife. Let's put that in there.
29:02
I was just about to say. Big ones like that.
29:07
So funny I was just. I think was like fan, but I
29:12
think it's a good song. It's just dreary.
29:14
That's the word, that's the keyword.
29:15
It's dreary. It's not a bad song, it's just.
29:18
Dreary song, so. Fucking.
29:23
Say our ears. It's pouring next song.
29:26
OK, let's talk about year 3000. What did you rate it?
29:29
You rated it a six. That was a bit harsh.
29:35
Oh are. We are we going to drop it?
29:41
I so hear me out, hear me out. This song live is a 10 This song
29:49
live. They're all 10.
29:51
They're all A10 live. I'd give it a 5 probably.
29:57
Shannon Oh no, you're giving year 3000A5.
30:05
Yeah, listen right, I'm fed up with the year 3000 slander on
30:09
this podcast because I get shut on for saying I like Jonas
30:14
preface. So let me tell you, this song is
30:19
OK. I like this song live.
30:21
It is so good live. Do I think that it is an
30:27
overrated Busted single compared to the other Busted singles?
30:32
Yes. This song gets so screamed and
30:35
shouted about when like they have the likes of you Said no
30:39
that people don't talk about as much.
30:41
It's such a different song though, I don't think you can
30:45
compare them. Yes, of course it is.
30:47
What other songs do you know that sing about?
30:51
3 boobs. Well, yeah, obviously, that's
30:54
why I'm interested in it. But more about like the future,
30:58
like like the year 3000 and imagining what life would look
31:01
like in 1000 years. Like that doesn't happen very
31:04
often. But songs like What I Go to
31:07
School For and Crash and Burn, there are songs that are
31:10
similar. I mean, Crash and Burn,
31:11
definitely. There are definitely songs that
31:13
are some in similar style. I just there.
31:17
Are no other songs. It's my rating, sorry.
31:22
I'm definitely Aggie about it. Up your bum.
31:25
Again, my big head, my poor bottom, my poor bottom.
31:29
First I have your. Bum.
31:31
Secondly, I I just like this song.
31:36
Reminds me of school discos. OK.
31:40
Not the one where they say I asked you to dance at the disco.
31:45
Not that one that doesn't remind you of discos.
31:47
Not even slightly, because it's not played enough.
31:49
OK this song reminds me of school discos proper played.
31:54
I don't think his has played us in 3000, but I agree.
31:57
I am not young enough to be at school disco anymore.
32:00
Maybe I'm bitter. That's it.
32:02
We've we've worked it out. I'm Andy's mum.
32:05
I'm bitter. I'm Andy's mum, Toy Story
32:10
reference for those of you that didn't know where that came
32:12
from. Shannon does not have a child
32:15
called Andy. I'm Andy's mum, OK?
32:18
I'm Stacey's mum. Yeah.
32:19
I mean, I can't. Let's go.
32:20
Yeah, I'd rather be Stacey's mum than Andy's mum, OK?
32:24
I'm not going to, I'm not going to drill you for it because and
32:28
also, you know, we've got Ballad of Pool Cake coming soon and I
32:31
know we're going to take some stick that day.
32:33
Firstly, don't even fucking dare.
32:40
Don't come for me, I'm going to drink a cold Corona whilst we.
32:44
Listen to that, so am I. Maybe it'll make me love you
32:46
some more. Firstly, don't let me say it
32:50
again. Your rating Taylor was 8.5.
32:55
I love this song. Oh my God this is such a banger.
33:02
Such a banger. Year 3000 for me is pure
33:05
nostalgia 100%. Like there is nothing about this
33:08
song that doesn't make me think of being a teenager and having
33:13
a. School Disco.
33:15
Yeah, I'm having less cares in the world.
33:17
Do you know what I mean? Like I didn't.
33:19
I have. No, I had no cares in the world
33:21
back then. I was just dancing around, you
33:24
know, thinking about triple breasted women.
33:28
Not that anybody knew that, but didn't tell anyone.
33:31
I. Was just thinking about it.
33:34
Yeah, it's fine. I just love the I love how
33:39
different it is. I love that it's it's a it's a
33:42
song about the future and and they had to sit and think about
33:45
what they thought the year 3000 was going to look like.
33:47
And I think that's really fun. I just think that's.
33:49
I'll tell you what I will say. If I was basing on the music
33:53
video alone, I'd give it a higher rating.
33:55
The music video so did. It's so good, so good.
33:58
And not only that, they used that like whole year 3000
34:02
DeLorean style, you know, it's. Define the band Busted.
34:05
It did. And not only that, it they even
34:08
used it for Busted versus McFly and like the opening of the tour
34:12
and and it works. Without that song, it wouldn't
34:15
have worked. It wouldn't.
34:16
This is why I don't give it a four.
34:17
Do you know what I mean? Oh.
34:19
I'll let you off. I'm very happy with my 8.5.
34:23
I feel like, to be completely honest, I think that's a fair
34:27
rating. There's part of me that wants to
34:29
say 9. There really is.
34:32
I'm not going to. I'm going to stick with 8.5
34:34
because are you? You are right.
34:36
It does get overplayed. It has been overplayed.
34:39
And again, if you think busted, most people think this song
34:41
straight away. We didn't touch on the Jonas
34:44
Brothers side of things, but I think that Miss John's over here
34:48
might prefer the Jonas Brothers version.
34:50
I do despicable. I do my podcast.
34:55
Nick Jonas. I'm still Nick Jonas girl till
34:59
the day I die. Although actually I think I
35:01
would say now I'm a Joe Jonas girl because I watch his TikTok
35:04
for about 5 hours a day. Oh my.
35:06
God, he's He has turned into a sweet, sweet.
35:09
Glass of wine. We're the same person.
35:16
So yeah, I do. But can I ask you something?
35:20
Yeah. Joe Jonas.
35:22
Charlie Simpson. And so the next song is Psycho
35:28
Girl. Nice try.
35:31
I can't. Choose No.
35:33
I would say Charlie Simpson. I would say Charlie Simpson.
35:35
I'm glad because if you'd have said Joe Jonas, I was going to
35:38
end this episode right here and now and just do the rest on my
35:41
own because you don't deserve to be the Co host of a busted
35:44
podcast. Could.
35:45
Go and watch the England game. So do you want to if you?
35:49
If you would prefer to watch the England game then be here
35:52
talking shit with me about busting McFly, then we don't
35:55
belong on this podcast together because we can't think of
35:57
anything worse. Even knowing that it's going to
36:01
be on in the background in half an hour is enough.
36:05
OK, let's move on then. Psycho girl is up next.
36:09
Nice. She's my psycho girl.
36:13
OK, you, you rated the song of five.
36:15
Are you sticking? Yeah.
36:17
OK. I've been the psycho girl, do
36:20
you know what I mean? That was a good.
36:22
Episode. That was a good episode.
36:24
We recorded what? Did we talk about?
36:26
We talked about things that we did.
36:28
We're a bit that, we're a bit psycho.
36:29
We asked our listeners. And we shared this stories and
36:32
they were actually fucking mental.
36:35
Actually fucking psycho. So I'm so glad we've created
36:38
this community because we're all the same.
36:40
Love it, Absolutely love it. Well.
36:42
Nice. It is what it is.
36:44
Do you know what I mean? I'm here.
36:46
I'm here for the five. I feel like for me, it's not a
36:50
what's the word? It's just not a banger.
36:55
It's just not one that I sit and think, yeah, I really want to
36:58
listen to that. I want to sing that right.
36:59
Now fancy psycho girl. Yeah, it's a bit.
37:04
It's a bit like. Yeah, I get that.
37:07
And like I said, I've been as like a girl.
37:10
I don't need somebody to write a song about me being a psycho
37:12
girl. Yeah, exactly like how we've.
37:14
Been a bit psycho at some point it's supposed.
37:16
To be private. Foolish.
37:17
Yeah, exactly. Don't need you to highlight my
37:21
insecurities. Busted.
37:22
Thank you very much. Firstly, up your bum.
37:25
Firstly, up your bum. Oh dear.
37:29
Yeah, you rated it also A5. I did.
37:32
I think I would drop it to a four.
37:35
Oh, OK, so you really don't like it?
37:37
I I just can't, I can't rate it the same as year 3000.
37:42
Oh no, you cannot, absolutely cannot this.
37:46
Song's good, but is it better than the year 3000?
37:50
Absolutely not. I can't rate it higher than
37:52
that. No.
37:54
And that's it really. I literally can't say anything
37:56
else but the song. It's OK, It's.
37:58
Good. I'm pleased a good.
37:59
Song. I'm pleased that you changed
38:01
changed your rating. Yeah, there we go.
38:03
Thank. You.
38:04
I feel like year 3000 deserves more.
38:09
Deserves. More.
38:10
But it's fine, it's OK. OK, well, what should we move on
38:14
from Psycho Girl? Because I'm sure we've all got a
38:15
lot to say about the next song, because the next song is all the
38:19
way. I have so much to say about
38:23
this. I mean you rated it A7.
38:28
I do rate it A7 you. Quite like this song.
38:30
But like, what's that line that just gets me?
38:37
And what is the line? Oh, wait.
38:40
Sorry. Not that it's it's cruel if you
38:45
say that you'll go all the way. Not that bad.
38:49
It's it's James. He says something.
38:52
Oh, I can remember us discussing this in the episode made me.
38:56
Feel sick? What is it?
39:01
You can't just leave me sitting here unseen to James.
39:06
Respectfully my man. My man, what my man JB, you
39:14
can't just leave me sitting here unseen to.
39:18
Are you OK? 17 year old James Bond?
39:21
Are you all right? Wow, wow.
39:26
You're only just legally able to be seen to.
39:30
It's. Chill out.
39:36
You're not demanding that this person sees you?
39:41
Yeah. Yeah, I.
39:42
It's, it's a lot of interesting lyrics because you said that you
39:46
would, but then you changed your mind.
39:48
How could you do this? How could you do this?
39:50
Unkind, My God. You know, I've had it up to
39:55
here. You need to be more clear.
40:00
'Cause you're the one that left me here.
40:01
So take me take. Are you, are you OK?
40:05
Does this girl need some can? You remember in the episode we
40:09
actually also talked about how the bridge is like, a complete
40:13
360? Yeah.
40:15
And I was like, oh, here's our Matt being such a love because
40:18
he says I'll never let you down. I'll always be around when you
40:21
need someone to capture you, when you fall down waiting here
40:24
for you if you decide you want to.
40:26
If you want me to stay, then I'm only phone call away.
40:28
I was just tricking you. Here's my boy Matt, you know?
40:31
And you were like, now he's just being sarcastic.
40:34
He is literally. Gaslighting.
40:37
Gaslighting you in sleeping with him.
40:39
Don't. Don't listen to him.
40:41
It's OK babe, you don't have to if you don't want to.
40:43
But if you do want to. But if you do, don't leave me
40:47
here unseen to and you cannot change your mind no matter what
40:53
you do. That's cruel.
40:54
Because that's cruel. I think I'm going to change my
40:57
rating. Sorry.
41:03
But but the game is it's catchy, Jean.
41:09
It's so morally wrong, but it is the banger.
41:11
This is the problem with the song.
41:13
It's and they've got a couple like this.
41:16
It's not. There's not just one.
41:18
Yeah, but can I say the other songs that are a bit like this
41:21
are hilarious. This is just a bit.
41:23
Like yeah, bit weird. It's a bit grapy.
41:27
Grapy. It's a bit grapy.
41:30
Bit gropy, Gropy gropy. Yeah, it's, it's a bit weird.
41:35
It's very much not aged well, I think.
41:40
I don't want to see this song live, and I think that's the
41:42
only song I've ever said that about.
41:43
I don't remember hearing this live.
41:46
I don't think I've heard this live, and I think it's probably
41:48
a really good reason. We probably have.
41:51
When we originally rated the song and listened to the song, I
41:55
think it was a bit more like in your head you'd like, you can
41:58
see yourself like being young and dancing to it and being
42:01
like, do you know what I mean? Like it's quite catchy and it's
42:05
very, I don't know, it is a banger and it does.
42:11
It's also on my like songs on Spotify because I will listen to
42:16
it, put my hands right up there and I will listen to it.
42:19
But it is definitely not aged well.
42:23
Let's just put it that way. I'm going to lower my rating.
42:26
OK. I gave it A7.
42:28
I'm going to give it a 5 just because I can't.
42:32
I can't have James Bond singing to me.
42:35
You can't just leave me here and see you too and rate it a seven.
42:41
I think this song is so good and I will listen to it in private
42:44
and I'll dance around my kitchen and my pyjamas to it.
42:46
But will I admit that I listen to James Bond?
42:50
Mate, and you know me, I'm a James Bond girl till I die.
42:54
I am. He's my favourite member of this
42:56
band. Do you remember what?
42:57
I thought I was watching our live the other day.
43:00
Now you're like, oh, should I invite James Bond to join our
43:03
live? I wouldn't right now.
43:06
Caitlin just says I don't think I would leave him unseen.
43:09
True, but here for it, Caitlin, absolutely here for it.
43:14
I'm a, like I said, James Bond through and through, like.
43:17
Yeah. I'm here for it.
43:19
Absolutely. Well, there we go.
43:21
That's what we think about it. We we obviously like it.
43:25
We definitely dance to it. We do.
43:26
But you. Rated it as six.
43:28
Would you change it or 6? .5 I feel like morally I should
43:33
change it but I'm not going to because I like it it.
43:38
Is a banger. If you put it on now I would.
43:42
Unfortunately. It's so good.
43:44
It's that if you want me to stay then I'm only a phone call away.
43:48
Could just say that you were. Absolutely.
43:56
The best bit, I think the key that we've got here, the key,
43:59
the key outcome of this whole situation is sing the song.
44:04
Do not read it like poetry. Yes, very true.
44:09
I think that goes with a lot of songs, to be completely honest,
44:12
because I think there are probably quite a few that or you
44:17
know, it's the other way round and the songs actually probably
44:19
would work as poetry. I think Transylvania would be a
44:22
great poem if we're thinking McFly.
44:25
OK, I cannot wait for that album, OK.
44:28
That's so excited, OK, Do you think?
44:32
Caitlin says. Do you think it's like he was
44:34
scorned and wrote it like Taylor Swift does with her exes?
44:37
Caitlin, are we going to be new best friends because we are big
44:40
Swifties? I can't believe you've only just
44:42
joined us. Head on over to Spotify at
44:45
Galaxy Crashes Podcast. You'll like it, I promise.
44:48
We talk a lot about Taylor Swift even when people don't want us
44:51
to. But also to.
44:52
Remind ourselves that it's a busted and quiet podcast.
44:56
I will agree with you completely Caitlin, but she's not as great
45:01
P. She's definitely not as gripy.
45:06
I think if you think about Taylor Swift's like, like most
45:11
I'd say like erotic songs, you're thinking more like wood
45:17
and dress. Whereas dress is like, it's not
45:22
gripy, gripy, gripy. It's actually quite nice.
45:26
She's quite enjoying it. Do you know what I mean?
45:29
She's really. Enjoying it?
45:30
And she wrote What about Travis? So, you know, but yeah, I think
45:35
it's definitely more of a changing of times thing.
45:38
Back then, it was acceptable to talk about women the way that
45:41
they were. Now, not so much.
45:45
But equally, I'm here for like, I feel like we have to be a bit
45:49
light hearted on something. Do you know what I mean?
45:51
Like that's. What I mean, it's a good song,
45:52
just don't sing it as poetry. Yeah, I nobody's saying that you
45:56
should absolutely live by this song like it's the Bible, like
46:00
it's not living by the book. It's not saying, you know, make
46:04
girls feel bad for not wanting to sleep with you, although
46:07
that's definitely happened a fair few times throughout our
46:09
lives, I'm sure as women. But still, I think it's it just
46:16
needs a slight update for 2026, which we did in that episode.
46:20
So again, if you haven't listened to it, head on over to
46:23
Spotify now, plug that one again.
46:27
Yeah, I'm sticking, I'm sticking, I'm going to stick
46:29
with it. I feel like it probably should
46:31
be should be less, but I'm not going to because if I am who I
46:35
am. You are who you are, do you?
46:37
Know what I mean? Have you have you heard there's
46:41
a lady on Instagram who I can't remember her name when I say say
46:48
her name's like Lauren, like LORENI think it's Lauren Roscoe
46:55
ROSKOI think that's her name. I'll find her after and send you
46:59
one of her videos. But she does response like takes
47:03
a song. And like an Eamonn and Frankie.
47:05
Yes, whoops, perspective. I wonder if she could do I
47:09
might. I mean she's got hundreds of
47:11
thousands to follow as much as slide in her DMS and be like hey
47:14
Hun, would you do the female version of All the Way by Busted
47:17
from 2000? And 10 because.
47:19
She loves a naughty E banger as well.
47:22
I think she there. We go I.
47:23
Think she'd get on it. I'm going to do it.
47:25
I'm going to do. I'm just going to flood her
47:26
comments with slow the way up to it.
47:29
Yeah. OK.
47:30
Shall we move on to? Yeah, let's do it next time.
47:33
Is sleeping with the light on. Oh yes, you gave.
47:38
This one and an 8. Oh my God.
47:40
Are you sticking? No.
47:43
Oh, oh, I feel positivity in that.
47:46
I can't believe I gave this an 8.
47:47
I can't believe I gave the song an 8.
47:49
This is If I think about this album, this is probably my top
47:57
song. Oh.
48:01
Yeah, it is. OK.
48:04
It's my top song. How can I rated?
48:07
How can I rated sleeping with the light on lower than year
48:12
3000? I mean it's because year 3000 is
48:15
A5 and no one will admit it's fucking 5 So what are you going
48:22
to change it? To I'm going to give it a 10.
48:26
I'm going all. Out it's my.
48:30
It's my top rated song on this album.
48:32
It's my top rated song of this album.
48:34
How can I have rated at any low, any level of the 10?
48:37
I think as we were moving through the album, I was almost
48:39
like waiting for a song that I was going to give a 10 to, but I
48:43
didn't actually look ahead as to what was coming because I yeah,
48:54
no, it's a 10. Sleeping with the light on, It's
48:56
a 10. I I like that.
48:59
I love this song. I think it's a real vulnerable
49:03
song for Busted, do you know what I mean?
49:06
Yeah, definitely. I think it's it's vulnerable.
49:09
I think they I think they started to feel like they could
49:14
open up a bit with their writing in this album.
49:16
And I feel like they probably did it a bit too much at times
49:21
with this album. But because if you think about
49:24
it, we've got we've got Losing You.
49:28
We've got Psycho Girl, which is not a ballad, but it's a bit
49:32
slow and dreary. Like I said, we've got Sleeping
49:34
with the Light On and then we've got When Day Turns into Night
49:37
and Without You Coming. And even like Everything I Knew
49:42
isn't like overly upbeat, but it's quite upbeat.
49:46
But it's not like overly upbeat. I felt like there was quite a
49:49
lot more like slowing it down with this album, whereas I think
49:52
about the next album, it gets a bit more upbeat and fun.
49:58
Yeah, yeah, yeah. And as Caitlin on our TikTok
50:02
Live has just pointed out, we did have a very big conversation
50:05
about the lyrics in Sleeping with the Light on whether it's
50:09
sharks swim through my veins or shocks went through my veins and
50:15
we are team sharks. Well, I am team sharks.
50:19
You were team shocks. But then things just makes more
50:25
sense. But we then found out that
50:27
Busted actually admitted that it was sharks and you were like,
50:30
oh, maybe not. That's why I gave.
50:33
It a tell us, tell us in the comments, what do you agree
50:38
with? Do you think it's shark swim?
50:40
Do you think it's shocks went what?
50:43
Do you think? I just think shocks went makes
50:46
more sense. It does make sense, but sharks
50:50
swim is more dramatic. That's why it's done, because a
50:55
shark is a gnarly. Gnarly.
51:00
Dude a gnarly dude. It's a gnarly animal.
51:03
People think about fear when you think about sharks, you think
51:05
about fear and he's like, it's he's fearful, but she's not
51:11
going to come back to him. Do you know what I mean?
51:13
That's why he's. Yeah.
51:15
I mean I agree, I think shocks does make more sense, but I like
51:19
the DRAM dramatisation of sharks swimming through my.
51:22
Veins. I agree.
51:23
Yeah. Mainly because they admitted it.
51:26
Otherwise I would have just been team shocks to the end.
51:28
But I won't go against anything Charlie Simpson says ever so.
51:32
Yeah, when I proved it to you, you were like, oh shit.
51:34
Oh shit. I I'm happy with my 10.
51:39
You rated this? Well it says 78, but I don't
51:42
think you rated it 78. It was like 7/8.
51:46
OK, 7/8 Do you agree? Yeah, OK, not I'm not a massive
51:54
fan. I love this song.
51:56
I think it's brilliant. I do I think there are better
52:04
songs? Yes.
52:07
Do I think that this is a bad song?
52:08
No. Yeah, I get you.
52:11
I don't. I think this is a very good
52:13
song. This song is like so nostalgic
52:15
to me, the same as like Crash and Burn and Britney.
52:18
I when I think of me being younger listening to Busted,
52:22
this is one of the first songs I think of.
52:24
It is so good. But having said that, I think
52:33
there are much better songs as well.
52:35
OK, I'm I'm not going to, I'm not going to argue with you.
52:40
I don't think much better on this album.
52:44
I would still keep. I would keep it as an 8 not a
52:46
7/8. I don't think there are many
52:49
better songs on this album. There are a few, not many, but
52:53
in general Busted discography. Would I put it at the same place
52:58
as? Three, I feel like it's a little
53:01
bit repetitive, like there's a lot of the chorus, but I love
53:07
the chorus so much. I don't care.
53:10
No, like me, this is my on like a McFly view of this.
53:15
It's my like, shine a light. Yeah, which we all know.
53:21
I'm happy if we just. A lot of people would agree, a
53:24
lot of people would agree that it's overplayed and they don't
53:27
wouldn't really mind it being removed from the setlist.
53:30
But I think if it was, I'd be absolutely devastated.
53:33
Really. Yeah.
53:34
I'd love Shine a Light. It's one of those songs.
53:36
And like, I had my interaction with Tom, like when I was when
53:40
we were at the Mcbusted gig and like, that was a real memory for
53:45
me. And I think sleeping with the
53:46
light on, it's on par with that. Like how I feel about those
53:50
songs are sort of at the same level.
53:52
I like turning the light the torch on my phone and like
53:56
sweet, you know, like live, it's unbelievable.
53:59
And the acoustic versions are top tier.
54:05
They're so good. There's one.
54:08
I can't remember where they did it.
54:09
Let's see if I can find it. They did an acoustic live
54:17
session with McFly. That might be that one.
54:24
Mcbusted. Yeah, there it is.
54:25
Mcbusted perform an acoustic version of Sleeping with the
54:28
Light On. It was the Mcbusted live
54:30
version. Acoustic of this song is so
54:34
good. It's so good.
54:35
I mean, I'd happily just have Mcbusted forever because.
54:41
We all know how you feel about. Mcbusted, We all know how you
54:43
feel about Mcbusted. I love them so much.
54:45
Yeah, I'm. I'm definitely going to stick
54:48
with my turn. And you're sticking with your
54:49
eight. I think we're.
54:51
Yeah, I think we'll agree to disagree on that one.
54:54
Shall we move on to Dawson's Geek?
54:57
I'd love to. Can we also talk about how when
55:00
we recorded this episode we talked a little bit about the TV
55:03
show never having seen an episode.
55:07
Love this song. Love the song.
55:09
Both of us rated this quite high.
55:11
Never ever seen. Never saw it an episode of
55:14
Dawson's Creek ever. Didn't have a clue what half the
55:18
lyrics are about. I mean he talks about naming
55:21
your dog Pacey. Was taking things a little too
55:23
far. Didn't know who the fuck Pacey
55:25
was. Thought he liked Was he
55:27
bothered? Do you know what I mean?
55:32
I think Dawson's Geek is a song that you probably would
55:35
appreciate a little bit more if you have seen, yes, this the
55:40
show. That makes sense, but I haven't
55:43
has anybody anybody listening to this?
55:45
If you know the the show well and you think that it works well
55:50
because it's relates quite well to the TV show, let us know
55:55
because yeah, I'd heard of it. I think I definitely heard of
55:59
like because is it, was it Australian or America?
56:03
I can't remember. I think it's American.
56:07
American or Canadian or something like that.
56:09
I had heard of it, but never really thought that's something
56:13
I want to watch because that was back in the era of like, do you
56:16
remember like the tribal like kids tribe programmes?
56:19
Did you ever watch those? I think it was actually called
56:21
Tribe. It was like about a load of like
56:24
teenagers that were like part of this tribe and they lived in
56:26
like caves and stuff. Fucking love that.
56:30
That's what I used to watch. Great fun.
56:33
But yeah, Dawson's geek. You rated it drum roll because
56:37
Shannon rated this song an 8.5. Yeah, I'd say there.
56:44
On burn with crack on burn on par with crash and burn.
56:48
Yeah, really. Yeah.
56:51
And I'd stick it. I'd stay there.
56:53
I think the song is so good. And I got so annoyed that they
56:55
didn't perform the whole song when they.
56:59
Yeah, it was part of the medley, wasn't it?
57:01
Yeah, I think this song is so good.
57:04
It's one of the best B sides. If you think of B sides in
57:07
general for any artist, they're B sides for a reason.
57:12
They're never that great. They're they're not good enough
57:15
to put on the album, but they're they're good enough to be
57:20
released. This is an album track and AB
57:22
side. It is so good.
57:24
Yeah, it is good. I don't feel like it's my
57:27
favourite song on the album, I feel like I probably could drop
57:30
it to a 7.5. OK.
57:33
Because if I'm thinking about what I've rated the other songs,
57:37
I feel like I rated what I go to school for a 7.5.
57:40
I don't think I'd listen to Dawson's Geek over what I go to
57:44
school for. I feel like they're on.
57:45
Shut up, Got to remember it's your rating.
57:49
Sorry. Your bum.
57:53
Oh, shut up. I don't think they're.
57:55
I don't think they're on par. I don't like.
57:58
Well, I do. I think that, yeah, I think, I
57:59
think they're on par. I don't think this is better
58:01
than what I go to school for. OK.
58:04
I think what I go to, what I go to school for was overplayed a
58:07
little bit more, which is why it dulled it down a little bit for
58:09
me. Whereas Dawson's Geek wasn't
58:10
played enough, but I didn't like it quite as much.
58:13
So that's why I think actually they probably balance each other
58:16
out a bit. OK.
58:18
Yeah, happy with that. I'm not, but it will do.
58:24
Duh. OK, coming up next is a shocker
58:28
a shocker A. Shocker of a song.
58:32
Yeah, I agree. When day turns in tonight.
58:36
OK, you hated this more than me. You rated this A2.
58:41
I did rated it too but there is a really good reason why I rated
58:43
it too. I rated it too because this song
58:46
is so forget, forgettable forgettable that I forgot about
58:50
this song. I had to listen to the song
58:53
again. Before the episode.
58:55
Before the episode, because I just could not recall what the
58:57
song is bearing in mind, I listened to this album and
59:00
repeat for about 5 years like and I still could not remember
59:04
this song. I think you're shocking people
59:07
listening to this right now, I'm not going to lie.
59:08
I gave it a 2 because, because I could have given it a 0 because
59:13
I'd never heard it before. In my in my brain, I'd never
59:16
heard it before, right? Yeah.
59:18
But I gave it A2, I gave it those two points because I think
59:21
if that song was released now, I would really fucking love it.
59:24
Oh yeah, God, in your in your sad girl era. 100% in my sad
59:28
girl era I would love this song. I would be so up for this song.
59:33
But I can't rate it higher than any of the other songs.
59:36
OK, because I just it was so forget, forgettable for me.
59:42
Yeah, I agree in the reasoning. I don't agree with the rating.
59:48
I think your ratings a bit brutal, but again, it's your
59:50
ratings. It's fine.
59:51
I rated it a 4.5. I think I was quite fair.
59:55
I think you're right in that when we looked at it on the
59:58
album tracks, I was like, I can't remember that song.
1:00:02
And when I listened to it, I started to remember it and I
1:00:07
could hear the When Day Turns in tonight, that's the bit I could
1:00:11
hear. But it is forgettable in that
1:00:14
when you look at the list of songs, actually up until that
1:00:17
point I could sing you every single song.
1:00:20
Yeah. Like I could sing you a part of
1:00:23
every single song, whereas that I only knew that one line.
1:00:26
Like even actually looking at the lyrics now, I genuinely
1:00:30
can't remember how it goes. This is what I mean.
1:00:33
It's so forgettable. Part of me was like, is it
1:00:36
because it's AB side track? But actually it's not because of
1:00:40
the other songs I know on the beat side, so it can't be that.
1:00:45
I think I'd drop it to a four. I think I probably gave it a
1:00:49
little bit more than it needed. I It's not a bad song, but it's
1:00:53
not a great. This is what I mean I.
1:00:55
It is forgettable. I can't rate it any high.
1:00:58
I can't rate it higher than losing you.
1:01:00
Yeah, No, no, absolutely not. And let me tell you now, it's
1:01:07
not my lowest rated song on this album.
1:01:11
Well, let's just put that back there.
1:01:13
We go everything I knew. Next you rate it 8.
1:01:19
I did rate it an 8. I I like everything I knew.
1:01:23
I think it's I like like the vibe.
1:01:28
I really like the, like dinner. Like I love the, I don't know,
1:01:31
it's just a bit more, a little bit more vibey, as Youngblood
1:01:38
would say vibey. Do you know what I mean?
1:01:40
It's very, I'm just getting the lyrics up again so that because
1:01:42
there is a line in there, there's a lyric that I really
1:01:46
liked. I can't remember what it is, and
1:01:49
it's very matte. I love it.
1:01:51
Like Matt Willis, like his voice is just amazing.
1:01:55
And like, yeah, I know you're a Big Mac girl.
1:01:57
Where's the lyrics that I like? Everything.
1:02:03
I love it, just went out the window.
1:02:08
Oh, it's Matt when he goes. We used to talk about whatever.
1:02:13
I just love. I don't know what it is about
1:02:15
that line. I just, it's just something
1:02:21
about it's like, it's just cute. It's like, you know, very.
1:02:25
Yeah, whatever is very, very American Pie like.
1:02:29
Blink 182. Yes.
1:02:31
Yeah, it's very blink 182. It's very much like like cheesy
1:02:36
American eat, you know, like falling for you.
1:02:38
I'm really falling for you. You could see American eat, like
1:02:43
American eat, whatever, like I love it.
1:02:45
I'm I will say. Matt's voice matches that kind
1:02:50
of vibe sometimes in Busted songs.
1:02:52
Absolutely does. And I'm so here for that because
1:02:54
no, nobody has a voice like Matt Willis.
1:02:57
No, I mean, nobody has a voice like any member of Busted.
1:03:00
Everybody's, I mean Anne McFly, every single singer has a
1:03:04
different voice that you could pick out in a crowd.
1:03:07
And you know that because some of them have done mask singer
1:03:10
and we all knew who Charlie was and we all knew who Danny was
1:03:13
straight away. Do you know what I mean?
1:03:15
If Matt did mask singer, there is no way you could listen to
1:03:17
him be like, that's not Matt Willis.
1:03:19
Like you would know straight away.
1:03:20
It's so it's so bratty. Yes, absolutely.
1:03:23
It's so bratty. I love it.
1:03:24
It's like that American blink 182 American Pie.
1:03:28
Twang twangy. Vibe.
1:03:30
Yeah. And I'm here for it.
1:03:31
And that's what I like about this song.
1:03:33
I think it's quite well paced. It's not dreary, It's not a it's
1:03:37
not a vast like it's not like a year 3000 like upbeat, you know,
1:03:44
Rocky song, but it's got a really good pace.
1:03:47
It's upbeat and I feel like it's a Bob along song.
1:03:50
It's not like a rock out song, but it's a Bob Along song and.
1:03:54
I. I would, yeah.
1:03:56
I like it. I'm here for it.
1:03:57
I think it's AI think it's a good rating.
1:03:59
You gave it an 8.5. How do you feel about?
1:04:01
That I did. I really like that rating, but
1:04:06
I'm looking at my other ratings and I think I don't know if I
1:04:10
could rate it the same as crash and burn.
1:04:13
Oh do you know what? Fuck it, I'm keeping it as an
1:04:15
8.5 I. Think you absolutely can 100%.
1:04:19
It's so good, it's. Yeah, it's great.
1:04:23
It's yeah, it's just brilliant. I have no notes on this song,
1:04:26
really. I think the only way it could be
1:04:28
better is if I heard it more often.
1:04:30
Yes, I agree. I don't feel like it cut.
1:04:33
And when we saw that it was on the set list for Busted versus
1:04:36
McFly, even though it was only a tiny, tiny little part of the
1:04:42
set list. Yeah.
1:04:44
It wasn't enough, but it was enough for everybody to just go,
1:04:49
yeah, because pairing it with Nerdy and Why and Dawson's gig
1:04:54
just brought back, like, all of these, just all of those teen,
1:05:00
teen things. OK, the next song is without
1:05:05
you. You were a brutal little bitch
1:05:09
with this song. Brutal little bitch.
1:05:11
You gave the song a 2/3 Shannon, and I know, I know what you're
1:05:15
going to do as well. I've already pre empted what
1:05:19
you're going to do. I'm writing it A1.
1:05:23
I knew it. I knew it was coming.
1:05:25
I knew it was coming. Look, I'm not a fan.
1:05:31
It's despicable, I'm not going to lie.
1:05:34
In terms of up your bum, up your bum, actually, do you know I'm
1:05:40
no, I'm not, I'm not. I'm not writing it one because
1:05:43
hear me out, I've got worse songs and I can't go lower than
1:05:46
one. I can't go lower than that.
1:05:51
So there's some busted songs that you prefer without you 2 so
1:05:55
you would not rate at any level. Is that what you're?
1:05:57
Telling me, yeah. OK.
1:06:00
Explain yourself, but that's the only reason.
1:06:02
Otherwise, if this was the end of the buster's career, this
1:06:05
would be a one. This would be a minus.
1:06:07
Oh wow, I just don't like it mate.
1:06:11
It's skippable. It's so skippable.
1:06:13
I'd rather listen to Robbie Williams like I'd rather listen
1:06:17
to literally. Saying something because I'm not
1:06:20
a Robbie fan. Yeah, I'd rather listen to
1:06:23
anything else. OK, Because you know what it is?
1:06:29
They're better than this. Yeah.
1:06:32
And I don't want to listen to a skippable song from my favourite
1:06:35
band, I'd rather just listen to their good ones and forget these
1:06:38
ones exist. And yeah, I get that.
1:06:41
I don't think it's that bad. May have you listened to it?
1:06:45
I don't. Yeah, I don't think you.
1:06:47
Have I absolutely have. It's a short song.
1:06:51
It's literally like, is it 2 minutes?
1:06:54
It's not very. It's not a long song at all. 2
1:06:57
minutes. Yeah, I agree. 2 minutes, 2
1:07:01
minutes, I don't know. It says 3 minutes, thirty.
1:07:04
I don't remember it being that long.
1:07:06
Because probably because you skip here it by the time it hits
1:07:09
2 minutes. No, I don't skip this song.
1:07:11
I rated this as 6. 4 off. Now I rated it as 6 because I
1:07:21
like the lyrics. I think the lyrics are quite, I
1:07:28
think the lyrics are quite nice. It's the the chorus is a bit
1:07:31
samey. It's a bit boring because he
1:07:33
just says I can't breathe without you, I can't breathe
1:07:35
without you, without you, without you, without you.
1:07:37
So it's a bit boring. It's better than.
1:07:39
That, but I like. I like the verses.
1:07:44
I think the verses are nice. The way you always made me look
1:07:47
at you with all the simple things you said, the way so many
1:07:49
things surrounded you and all the tears it seemed to make and
1:07:52
they were falling. There's nothing left to say.
1:07:54
And I can't break free, not from me in there.
1:07:56
And I can't breathe without you. Fuck off Boring.
1:08:03
I just think, I just think it's nice.
1:08:05
I just think it's, it's written well.
1:08:07
I just think it can be a bit samey.
1:08:09
I think I probably was a bit nice giving it a six.
1:08:13
I think I'd probably have to drop it to below Psycho Girl.
1:08:18
I'm going to give it. I'm going to give it a 4.5.
1:08:23
And that's looking at the fact that I rated Psycho Girl A5 and
1:08:27
I rated losing you a four. I prefer it to losing you, but
1:08:33
not by much, if that makes sense.
1:08:37
Yeah, I do. I just don't know how you can go
1:08:39
from everything I knew, but I don't think I don't know how
1:08:42
this can sandwich between everything I knew and lose a
1:08:44
kid. You're never going to be a good
1:08:46
song if you're going to be this boring in between those two
1:08:49
great songs. This is what we talked about.
1:08:51
We talked about on the episode, the fact that this was a weak
1:08:54
penultimate song for this album. And it's not that it's a bad
1:09:00
song, it's just that it was a bad choice.
1:09:02
I think for well, you would probably disagree, but I think
1:09:05
it just it it picked up with they've gone like sleeping with
1:09:10
the light on Dawson's geek when day turns in tonight, everything
1:09:13
I knew without you lose a kid. It's like fun and happy, dreary,
1:09:18
fun and happy, dreary, fun and happy, dreary, fun and happy.
1:09:22
I feel like it just needed to have a little bit more of an
1:09:24
uplifting end. I feel like if they swapped out
1:09:27
without you for like Psycho Girl, I probably would have been
1:09:31
happy with Psycho Girl being there.
1:09:34
Even though it's similar in like it's slower and a bit more she's
1:09:38
now Psycho girl. I do feel like it's it's less
1:09:41
dreary. It's miserable.
1:09:44
I I don't listen. I will not listen to this song
1:09:47
and I actually think even as a child I skipped the song on my
1:09:50
Walkman. My Walkman.
1:09:53
Even back then, when I had no brains, I still thought this was
1:09:58
awful. I mean, it might have been a, it
1:10:03
might have been an added it in at last minute because we needed
1:10:05
to fill the tracks on the album. It might have been it's.
1:10:10
I can't rate this any higher when I've given losing you 3.5.
1:10:14
No, yeah, I think it's, I think it's better than losing you, but
1:10:22
only by .5. That's where I'm at with it.
1:10:26
OK. Only because I like the lyrics
1:10:28
better. OK, I see that.
1:10:32
Yeah, yeah. OK, and on that note, should we
1:10:36
just end with a bang because the last song of this album is a
1:10:39
fucking banger? Absolutely fucking banger.
1:10:41
I'm changing my rating on this one as well and.
1:10:43
Me the last song in this album is Loser Kid.
1:10:51
Loser kid. I'm sorry, why did I think it
1:10:53
was an 8.5? What you changing it to A10?
1:10:57
Oh, my girl. This is on par with sleeping
1:11:01
with the light on, but in a different way.
1:11:04
Violet says I am a loser kid I. Love that I I absolutely love
1:11:10
this song in that it embodies everything I was as a teenager.
1:11:15
They wrote this about me. I am a loser kid and like, you
1:11:20
know, people say like loser kids unite.
1:11:22
You know, we talked about when we named our podcast Galaxy
1:11:25
crashes. We were like, I'm in Angarring
1:11:27
because Busted fans are sometimes called loser kids and
1:11:30
they're sometimes called Wedding Crashers.
1:11:32
And we were like, oh, what works better?
1:11:33
Because we didn't want to be the Galaxy kids.
1:11:35
It didn't really make sense. We wanted the name to sound a
1:11:39
bit cooler. But actually I feel like loser
1:11:42
kids are the people that listen to Busted without being rude and
1:11:48
calling you all losers because I'm a loser too and we can be
1:11:51
losers together. Yeah, exactly.
1:11:53
Do you know what I mean? We're here for it.
1:11:55
I think that it's genuinely the song itself made us feel seen
1:12:01
and that's what it did for me. I, I think when I write, I don't
1:12:03
know why I write it at 8.5, I don't even remember.
1:12:06
I'm going to go back to that episode and listen to myself
1:12:08
because I'm probably going to cuss myself out.
1:12:11
You're going to tell yourself up your bum.
1:12:13
I'm going to be like, dude, what's wrong with you?
1:12:15
Are you OK? Like it's such a good song.
1:12:17
It's so good. The lyrics are great.
1:12:19
It's very it's upbeat and then it's not so upbeat, but it's not
1:12:25
sad and it's not ballady, but it's like you hear them.
1:12:27
It's not where the year 3000 is so chaotic and so like heavy on
1:12:32
guitars and heavy on do you know what I mean?
1:12:35
Like there's loads going on in the background.
1:12:37
This song is very much just them and it has that rocky element.
1:12:42
It has that vibe, but it's not too much.
1:12:45
It doesn't relatable, yeah, it is relatable and it doesn't over
1:12:49
arc the the lyrics, which are the reason that we listen to it.
1:12:52
So yeah. 10:10 I. Love that I gave it 9.5.
1:12:57
I'm going to change it to 10. Yeah, you are.
1:13:00
Yeah, you are. What can I just say?
1:13:05
Very unlike me. I've got three 10s on this
1:13:07
album. 03 Is there 3? I've got three.
1:13:11
Oh no, I've got 2. Yeah, I had 10 sleeping with
1:13:14
light on. You got two.
1:13:15
I've got 2 who are. Take it who?
1:13:19
Are we? I think the song is so good and
1:13:21
actually going back to year 3000, what you said, I think
1:13:24
year 3000, another reason why I rated it A5 is because it's very
1:13:27
overstimulating for me. Yeah.
1:13:30
There's so much going on. Yeah, I love lose a kid because
1:13:33
it's your back. You like back to the basics.
1:13:36
But it's still so looking good without all the added sparkles
1:13:40
and explosions and it's just so good and.
1:13:44
And there's no, there's no video for this, is there?
1:13:47
No. Oh, that's so sad because it
1:13:50
could have been such a good video.
1:13:52
Yeah, I love it. It's my favourite.
1:13:55
Starred in it. You could have started you.
1:13:59
Could have starred in it girls. Let's let's just go for that.
1:14:02
I think we didn't. We talk about bullying a lot in
1:14:04
this episode. I think we talked about.
1:14:06
I think we did because we're absolutely fucking loser kids.
1:14:11
Losers. Yeah, I'm completely here for
1:14:15
it. I love it.
1:14:15
I think it's a great way to end the album.
1:14:17
I think that they picked a good final song.
1:14:22
I think that it went out on a bang and it's a song that
1:14:24
people. Songs, it's the best closer.
1:14:28
Yeah, and people listen all the way to the bottom of the album
1:14:31
to hear this song because, you know, loser kids come in.
1:14:34
So you're like, oh, I'll listen to Without you and one day
1:14:36
tonight, because loser kids come in.
1:14:40
So what we'll do is I'll say the song.
1:14:42
You say you're rating new rating.
1:14:44
I'll say my new rating. Are you ready?
1:14:46
I'm ready. What I go to school for?
1:14:49
8. 8. Nice.
1:14:52
Crash and burn bracket, You said no. 8.5. 8.
1:14:58
OK. Britney. 10. 9.5 losing you?
1:15:06
3.5. Matched yeah 3.5 year 3000. 5.
1:15:12
Despicable 8.5 It's like a girl. 4. 5 from me all the way. 5. 6.5
1:15:23
Sleeping with the lights on. 8. 10 out of 10 for me.
1:15:30
Dawson's Geek. 8.5. 7.5 You like that one more than me when day
1:15:36
turns in tonight. 22. 4 from me, everything I knew. 8.5.
1:15:46
And an 8 from me without you. Another one moment 4.5 from me
1:15:55
and finally loser kids. We are finishing this album on
1:15:58
210 out of 10/10. Out of 10.
1:16:01
Fair play. Where are we?
1:16:03
Where are we rating the album? I've I've already said that I
1:16:06
spoke at the beginning. I'm rating it, Yeah, but.
1:16:08
Give it a number. Oh.
1:16:11
At 10. 8. Oh, OK.
1:16:17
There's two twos on there. I cannot rate it any higher.
1:16:19
Yeah, I'm going to go. I'm going to go 7.5.
1:16:23
Actually, I've got a four. No, I'm going to stick it in my
1:16:32
8. I'm sticking at the 8.
1:16:33
It's 810. You're an 8 and I'm a 7.5.
1:16:37
I'm here for it. I'm here.
1:16:38
Well done. Busted.
1:16:40
Well, let's just say yeah, debut album was good.
1:16:43
It gets better. It only gets better from here
1:16:45
and we are very excited to be moving on to the next album
1:16:48
because this is an absolute show stop.
1:16:50
Present for everyone. So that's it for today's
1:16:54
episode. As always, thank you so much for
1:16:57
listening to Galaxy Crashers. If you enjoyed today's chaos,
1:17:01
make sure you follow Cher and send this to your fellow bastard
1:17:03
McFly obsessed besties next. Episode We are going back to
1:17:08
track one, but this time it's Mcfly's Wonderland.
1:17:12
Wonderland. I'm so excited.
1:17:15
The album that pushed our boys into pure stardom.
1:17:18
Both movie and music? You bet.
1:17:21
We're talking all about just my luck.
1:17:24
I do not think, I genuinely don't think you're prepared for
1:17:27
my rating for this. Album I'm actually not ready
1:17:29
because I was. I've been listening to
1:17:31
Wonderland to start getting myself in like the Wonderland
1:17:35
zone and every song that comes on I'm like this is great.
1:17:40
I. Love the.
1:17:41
Banger, I was dancing around my bedroom with my daughter singing
1:17:46
I've got you and I cried. I cried.
1:17:48
I was like, I'm so happy right now.
1:17:50
I love you and I love this song and it's just the best thing

ever. So be prepared for some 10s
1:17:54
because there are quite a few on that album.
1:17:56
Yeah, absolutely. Literally, I don't think you're

prepared at all for my routing. I'm ready.
1:18:01
I'm ready for it, I'm ready for it.
1:18:02
And I know, you know, we've got a big song coming up for you,
1:18:05

1:18:07
let's just say this is my Ballad of Pool K album.
1:18:10
And if you know, you know, you know.
1:18:14
If you know, you know. It's my Ballad of Pool K album.
1:18:16

1:18:26
Disgusting. Absolute disgusting.
1:18:28
But hey, for now, keep your playlist loud.
1:18:32
And happiness in your hearts. Goodbye.
