Men at Work · Deprogrammed Music Podcast

0:32
It's deprogram the podcast where we try to get you into a band.
0:36
Today's band these men are at work because we're doing any
0:40
work. Yeah, it didn't work hard for
0:44
that one. I did it anyway, I did it anyway
0:48
because for you people. I work my hardest or I just work
0:54
these men at work today. Fredo you put Minute work on the
0:58
board. I think it was in one of those
1:00
conversations will like an after-the-fact conversation.
1:04
So Men at Work, talk to me about him.
1:08
I did it for a couple reasons. Number one is, it's an easy
1:11
discography, three albums. In and out.
1:17
So it's so part of it was for you to have a quick turnover
1:22
when you need a quick episode because let's be real.
1:27
You're the one that really gets bogged down with these things.
1:32
So there was. So every now and then, we need,
1:36
we need a group. That's got, you know, two or
1:38
three albums that we could knock out real quick to give you a
1:42
lighter load. Second of all, I believe, you
1:45
came right out off of the The Go-Go's episode which was a fun.
1:55
Yes, wonderful short Hasty laughs a second feel good
2:03
episode, And Men at Work while not as not as I don't want to
2:13
use the word fun. Not as Carefree.
2:16
Yes, Majesty. As.
2:18
Yeah. As the Go-Go's, it's still a
2:21
nice light fun, Amar discography like you know at the end of the
2:30
day they might not be your favorite band.
2:33
If you can't walk away not liking them, you can't come out.
2:38
You're not coming away from minute work angry.
2:41
So exactly, you know what, you don't mind another day at work.
2:45
Yes, indeed gonna be a lot of those jokes today.
2:48
I feel it. Work will be the word of the
2:51
day, no matter how, no matter how it may not be on purpose.
2:56
So I believe. So you put it up in a, like,
2:59
some sort of after the fact conversation, like you said.
3:02
And I think it came Back up in conversation after one of the
3:06
ones, the panels that we did with Randy, and John, and Randy
3:09
was like, you know what? Yeah, I'll do minute work.
3:12
So, what made you put your hand up for a minute work, Randy?
3:15
Well, 35 songs. You know, not, not too bad to
3:18
get one. One more podcast in me, right?
3:21
Yeah. Feed my ego.
3:22
No. Um, actually, it's, I always saw
3:28
this era of music, you know, the early 80s and And I kind of
3:35
because I didn't grow up in the 80s, so I didn't have a lot of
3:37
this, like while growing up with it.
3:39
I had more late 90s, kind of stuff.
3:41
So my intake of stuff like men at work.
3:45
And I have this insane thing about men at work and Huey Lewis
3:50
and the News that I'll get into in a second, but basically, this
3:55
was to make sure I never make a mistake again between the two.
3:59
But to me these bands were always the Video bands that I
4:05
all the time when Pop-Up Video is on VH1 in the background.
4:08
I would see, you know I would watch something like you know
4:11
who can it be now? Or you know, you know name.
4:15
I want a new drug. I think.
4:16
I want a new drug was the big one and I'll say right now.
4:21
So the whole time the music video for, I want a new drug.
4:26
I always thought it was. Who can it be now?
4:30
So, for a long time, I always thought who can it be?
4:34
Now was a Huey Lewis and the News song.
4:39
So that's there's my confusion with this era of Music a little
4:42
bit. So I had never disliked the
4:45
music at all. I never never digged in because
4:47
it kind of, you know, and this is me me as a teenager into 20s.
4:54
I never digged in because dig digs, not a word, dog in.
4:58
Come on, right? We're in the language.
5:01
Jim Duggan. Or more like ho tough guy?
5:14
Yeah, I think I wanted to Branch out and make sure that like this
5:20
era for me was it could be approachable now.
5:24
And going through this list, it's obviously like we said we
5:28
didn't have to work hard as men to go through this.
5:31
It was a very fun. Listen and I just wanted
5:35
something new just to say, okay I did it.
5:37
And I really appreciate it now. Like a lot of these songs I
5:40
think I can put on playlists and stuff like that.
5:42
Like I feel pretty acquitted with the band.
5:45
So first of all, I want to say this before I give my thoughts
5:49
on men at work. If you hear the word work away
5:52
from the band named Men at Work in this episode, I guess you got
5:57
a drink or something. You should, you should do
6:00
something like start a counter because I have a feeling it's
6:03
coming up a lot. It's already happened a lot.
6:07
Start the counter now. Um, because yes, so man, it
6:11
work, it's funny, I'm somewhere around you.
6:16
On this Randy. We're like, I've always known
6:20
Men at Work. This is one of those band that
6:22
I've always known, who they are, but didn't know that, I knew who
6:26
they were, and who can it be? Now is a great example of that.
6:31
Like, I always knew that song. I somewhere in my subconscious
6:36
knew who it was, but never actually knew who it was, so
6:42
it's like and then your you go through this.
6:45
It's again, it's a nice tight discography.
6:47
It's, you're not, you're not putting in a lot of work, the
6:53
these other songs would come up and be like, oh yeah.
6:57
I know that one too. Oh, I know that one.
7:00
Oh, this is the end up. Oh, and like, if I felt like it
7:04
just kept happening and happening and so it was nice to
7:10
acquaint myself and finally be able to go definitively.
7:15
This is who Men at Work is so Fredo.
7:18
Again, you know, not to belabor the point.
7:22
It's not a very big discography. We only have 15 songs to play
7:26
with. How did you?
7:27
How did you go about picking your 15 songs for this one?
7:30
Well I was intimately familiar with their first two albums.
7:34
It's a huge part of my youth. A part of music of you know that
7:40
that 14 to 18 raids where you really start to Define yourself,
7:48
musically? Among, I remember business, as
7:52
usual coming out, loving it, cargo coming out loving it.
7:59
And by the time, two hearts came out It's kind of moving away.
8:06
Cuz so my, my list is heavy. The first two albums.
8:14
And that's not to Discount the third album where it definitely
8:18
sounds a lot like Huey Lewis. Matter of fact, I got that in a
8:21
couple of my notes very Huey, Lewis sounding the band,
8:26
definitely matured. But the beds maturing sound and
8:32
my maturing taste in music and of went out to different ways.
8:36
So it's very heavy on the first two albums and couple from the
8:42
third album, which I could appreciate now.
8:45
But I couldn't back then that makes sense.
8:47
Absolutely, Randy. Same question to you, what were
8:51
you looking at? As you're putting 15 together
8:53
for this or I continue off of Fredo's point.
8:57
I just want to mention because I should have mentioned Before
9:00
another connection that I have two men at work is actually
9:04
through Colin, Hays, solo stuff. And in the way that I really got
9:09
to know about Colin, a solo stuff is through the TV show
9:13
Scrubs, because if you remember very early episode I used to
9:18
love that show. I was like in college and
9:21
nothing else to do. But watch scrubs episodes and
9:26
There is like a really early episode and Colin Hay is
9:30
actually being like pushed around and you know a gurney or
9:34
something like that and he's playing an acoustic version of
9:36
Overkill. Oh my God, what such a wonderful
9:40
really? That's all beautiful.
9:43
Yeah, and a beautiful piece of Television to where he ends up
9:46
in the morgue and they closed the door in the morgue.
9:49
Like that's just I mean you know, that show is pretty simple
9:53
and kind of stupid and weighs just You know, from an actor, so
9:58
in there but some of the things that they do with their
10:01
storytelling are fantastic. Yeah, so, you know, my wife is
10:08
seeing him live and I believe her story about seeing him live
10:11
is that it was the show after and it was only like a day after
10:16
this happened in that their saxophone player passed away.
10:20
So grab him. Yeah Greg Ham and it apparently
10:25
was extremely Emotional and all that.
10:27
So we're, there were actually planning a comeback.
10:32
Greg hand was the other, you know, big big member of Men at
10:36
Work along with Colin Hay, and they'd gotten back together in
10:40
the late 90s and recorded a live album.
10:46
And we're starting to do tour dates as men at work, and yeah,
10:52
then he passed away. Yeah.
10:54
And actually that kind of ties into what I was going to remark
10:58
about your comments about the third record and, you know, did
11:03
a couple full listens and and you can kind of do that with
11:06
this band a little bit because there is time on it.
11:08
Only takes like 2 hours to go through all this and listening
11:11
to the third record. I'm like, okay, I didn't get the
11:14
same vibe from the first two that definitely, I definitely
11:18
felt something different and then I do what I usually do.
11:21
I like to read up a little bit about the Then sort of their
11:24
history and what happened. So I can have an idea of who
11:28
they are. And one of the things that made
11:31
so much sense is that Colin essentially kicked out every
11:35
member aside for, from Greg and wrote that record with Studio
11:41
musicians, except for Greg, and then Greg would shortly leave
11:46
after that and it kind of dissolved, but I went back and
11:50
listened to that record. I'm like, yeah, that's kind of
11:53
why? It doesn't sound Sound like the
11:54
first two because, you know, you kind of needed.
11:58
Like, you can tell that the other musicians, were more more
12:03
Masters at their craft more can figure it out and kind of
12:06
brought in their their own thing, while Colin, really just,
12:10
you know, I'm going to guest on the third record, he tried to do
12:13
everything himself and it just and maybe a little with Grant
12:17
to, but it just didn't quite have the same feel to it.
12:21
So yeah, Fredo I definitely feel you.
12:24
That third record. I think it was definitely the,
12:29
you know, the, the least of the bunch, but it has some stuff on
12:34
there like, you know, I but I went into this not thinking
12:39
about representation at all because it's three records.
12:42
I just wanted the best songs possible, so that's it.
12:46
That's simple as that. And you know what?
12:49
In that makes sense from a person who's not tied into
12:52
memories with With, with the group, you know, I have very
12:57
distinct memories with them. So that's why I tied in but
13:01
you'll find and this is probably a good thing right at Justin for
13:05
a, after the fact of my, you know, conversation is that when
13:11
you take a period of music that defines you for you guys, that
13:15
would probably be the 90s for me.
13:18
It was the 80s. For some of your listeners is
13:23
going to be the early 2000s. You're going to find groups like
13:27
men at work and like the Go-Go's that are the shooting stars of
13:31
that era in they shine bright for two three albums and then
13:35
they fade away, you know, you know IMA.
13:39
And that's what the go go for it, for me.
13:44
And in the end, the Go-Go's, you know, Men at Work.
13:51
These are the groups that were under defined, the music of my
13:54
era and went away. You know, and if you're lucky, I
13:58
know, Colin Hays is still touring with Rick Springfield
14:03
right now and and they go on these little package towards
14:08
later on, you know, Berlin. So we can take our pick of them.
14:13
And for you guys, it could be, I don't know, Screaming Trees, you
14:19
know, came and went, you know, bands like that.
14:22
So so it's on Think of some for after the fact that absolutely.
14:28
So for it's funny that I'm exactly where you guys are.
14:35
I found myself really into the first two records and again, I
14:40
don't want to take away from that third record.
14:42
It's a fine record. I enjoyed it.
14:45
I feel like a lot got through on the first pass.
14:47
I can't remember how much. But as I'm coming back through
14:51
to, like, narrow down to my 15, I found that the easily.
14:56
Easiest to dispense from. Like, you know, a lot of the
14:59
stuff on the first two records. I'm like, yeah, but I can't deal
15:02
with that without that. No, I need that.
15:04
And then I got to the third record and I'm like, yeah, but
15:08
you know, they did this better on the first two records.
15:10
Okay? This can go in and I think Randy
15:12
nailed it. It's the vibe that the the vibe
15:14
of the third record is off. And so for Fredo the it was he
15:20
doesn't have the emotional tie because it's like that's where
15:24
he and the band separated. For me and Randy as New Year's
15:28
coming into it, like, it's just the vibe didn't sit, right?
15:31
So very interesting that all three of us are kind of in the
15:35
same place, yet, I'm still an easy.
15:37
So let me ask the question for the final say Fredo.
15:42
How many you think you were going to get through
15:44
unanimously? Think we got five?
15:47
Okay. Okay, okay.
15:48
That's the safe play, I think, yeah, easily five.
15:51
Yeah. What do you think?
15:53
Randy. I'm gonna go seven.
15:57
That's think that. Yeah, I think I've seen some
16:00
right. 15 songs for 34, 35 songs.
16:04
Whatever it was. Yeah.
16:06
I think we can hit that. The only reason I tend to lean
16:11
towards where Fredo is is because Well, I guess, I don't
16:17
know. We'll see, we'll see.
16:18
Um, I'll go playing the game. Yeah, I'm gonna go for.
16:22
I don't like it. I don't like it.
16:24
Let me go for. I don't eat feels hi-8.
16:28
Feels high that chime hit every time that we make a pick because
16:33
that that was a Nifty. That was a, somebody can out on
16:38
my on my regular phone. And I said, you know how to do
16:41
it. I could just like, I pick 5
16:44
bloom, All right. So, hey, we're still let you
16:51
know. Yeah.
16:54
I've been drinking a lot of liquids.
16:56
So you know what that means? Right?
16:58
Yeah. Well, let's try to get it done
16:59
because like the time, right? Why you get doing this?
17:03
I'm gonna go do that. Okay, so we're going to take it
17:05
rolling, pause, and we will be right back.

17:50
game is deprogrammed, the three of us have combed through the
17:53
Men at Work, discography plucked out, 15 songs, each that, we're
17:57
now going to mash together in attempt to create a top 10
17:59
circuit for you. In case you have never listened
18:01
to Men at Work and shame on. You look, I don't care if this
18:07
is the one, but if this doesn't get in, I don't know.
18:11
I don't know what we're doing. Who can it be now?
18:16
Yes, right? Like yeah, it's a classic song.
18:20
Like anybody look at the list and not see that like, if we had
18:24
a top ten without it, they be like, is this even met at work?
18:27
Yeah, and I mean, I'd be willing to bet.
18:30
There's a lot of people like me who know this song, love this
18:34
song, but don't know. It's them.
18:37
You know what I mean? Well, raising my hand for like
18:40
10 years. Yeah.
18:41
So it's like to be able to finally connect those dots.
18:46
And know definitively who this is.
18:50
I love this song. I think it's such a great
18:53
Groove. It's a again.
18:54
It does. Is it does that thing that I
18:57
always loved that? You know, that isn't the reason
18:59
I picked this but like it's song, one album one, you push
19:04
play in. This is the first thing you
19:05
hear, it's like, oh, this is who this is.
19:07
Okay, cool, boom. And then you know what?
19:10
It sets, a great tone for the album.
19:13
Absolutely. So he does absolutely.
19:16
It's like okay, this is going to be a light-hearted album.
19:19
It's going to be fun. And a lot of people don't
19:23
realize this album broke the record for the longest time as
19:29
at a debut. Number one album beating the
19:33
monkeys when we talk about. Yeah, it was 11 weeks at number
19:39
one. That's when they beat the record
19:41
that was set by the monkeys debut album.
19:44
When and again, we talked about Out.
19:47
Is these tie-ins that stick in your head?
19:53
Remember watching Casey Kasem's, top 10 on which was a show that,
19:58
you know, he would do the top 10 on the on TV.
20:02
This was the number one and that was the fact he gave well and it
20:07
sticks in my head. Um, and then, of course, the
20:11
videos and I it's an iconic MTV video, you know.
20:16
So Yam. And we're going to bed.
20:18
I agree. And then, you know, this that
20:22
saxophone line. Like the that saxophone Hook is
20:25
great. The, the hook itself.
20:27
The who can it be Nina? Let's just all of it.
20:34
It just works. So, all right, we got one.
20:37
Fredo go. I think we're going to get to
20:40
hear. Um, Let's go with the song that
20:46
that Randy mentioned Overkill. Yeah, I was going to be my pick,
20:49
so yeah, of course. Yeah, I got it and I love this
20:52
song. So so do I.
20:55
And also before I play it, it should be noted when I asked,
20:59
you know, the audience. I asked, you know, what song?
21:03
This was the only response I got was Overkill.
21:07
I think it's kind of, it's going to fall into like what Randy
21:10
said, where a lot of people might might know it from, Grubs,
21:15
you know, know the Colin Hays solo acoustic version which is
21:18
just so he turns this song just makes it so beautiful in that
21:23
acoustic version. Give it a little volume before
21:30
you move on. That's great and it's what they
21:37
do. I don't you know, I don't even
21:39
think I had heard the Men at Work rendition and until I did
21:43
the research, maybe I did at one point but I was always familiar
21:47
with with just the solo version which again you know a wax
21:51
poetic on it because it's so good.
21:53
It's beautiful. And and what's funny is and tell
21:58
me, Randy cause now you've heard the original and you've heard
22:02
the acoustic. It's funny how the song works
22:08
both ways but for me I never knew it could be that beautiful
22:15
for sure. You know like for you it would
22:17
have been I didn't know. It could be that fun.
22:19
Yeah exactly. Yeah.
22:21
You're right. It's very bouncy.
22:23
And yeah you wouldn't think that it's kind of like a
22:28
broken-hearted in a way, you know?
22:29
Yeah yeah it's that that acoustic version. he's very like
22:36
you know the the lost love and just you know kind of I should
22:41
have I'm beating myself up thinking about it kind of vibe
22:47
Maybe are they original was just kind of like you said this
22:52
bouncy, you know, Yeah and just I was very impressed so like
22:59
that we got to yeah. Randy I'm going to take one off
23:05
of the first record, I'm gonna go with underground.
23:11
Hmm. Oh no.
23:13
Oh really. Yeah, my like this one.
23:15
This one. I don't really.
23:18
You know what? They're all good.
23:20
Yeah. It's just a matter of you know
23:22
we got to put other songs on. Yep.
23:24
Well yeah I thought that one would be, if not an automatic
23:29
then very, very close. He proved me wrong and my 7
23:34
don't look good. No more.
23:37
Oh, just be used to have plenty there, right?
23:40
All right, papapa. Okay.
23:51
I love robots hopeless otamatone yes I want to say I got it, I
23:58
got it, there it is. Said to find it.
24:01
There we go ahead. Right.
24:04
After underground. Hold on, let's get a little
24:09
volume on that. I guess the other thing that I
24:13
didn't know about this ban was that they had two pretty
24:18
constant lead singers and I'm going to guess is that is that
24:22
Greg singing all these or is it? Somebody else know that would,
24:26
that would be Colin of Greg who were singing them and I'm a.
24:30
Yeah, and, and, you know, how to make sense like, when Colin got
24:32
rid of everybody. Hmm.
24:34
You know, who did he keep? He kept the signature sound,
24:39
which was that sax? It was part of their signature
24:43
sound and and the other vocalist.
24:47
But when you hear that third album, you can still find it
24:52
kind of sounds like it, you know, but there's something like
24:56
you said, you know, something off.
24:57
Well, with off is the rest of the day is, don't have.
25:01
They just don't have the Mojo. They don't have the chemistry.
25:04
All right, but you still got the, you still got the sacks and
25:07
you still got the vocals. All right?
25:09
Fredo. Let's let's stay with business
25:15
as usual, and this was just for me, a fun song.
25:20
People just love to play with words.
25:22
I got it me too. Yes, number four.
25:27
I was really, I was really, really hoping that that song
25:31
there. That that would be on there.
25:34
I love this this beginning. If I'm not trying to impress
25:44
you, you know what I love, I love the end.
25:54
Let's listen to it. Some of these songs are sung or
26:11
just make it so much more catchy than you know.
26:15
Just yeah. Right.
26:16
But it's just like, even in the little kind of like pattern that
26:20
they sing it. It sounds really good.
26:23
Like people just love to play. Ain't yeah?
26:27
Right. Yeah.
26:30
Catch it. Understand that when I say the
26:34
90s hilde music me. It's because in the 90s this is
26:42
what was missing. Is that right?
26:46
Yeah. Catchy hooks fun little like
26:49
yeah we're not going to take ourselves too serious.
26:51
And this is what what to me was always missing in the 90s.
26:57
Yeah, yeah. That's that's fair enough.
27:00
At least until the late 90s, which is.
27:02
Yeah. It's, you know, what's funny?
27:05
I think the 90s version of that, might be some of the pop punk
27:10
stuff. It might be Green Day and
27:11
offspring. Yeah, but even if and and I'll
27:15
give you that, I'm a Blink-182, all of that church stuff.
27:20
Sure. But, It's always was always a
27:24
hint of mean-spiritedness or hit of a hint of anger or of fuck.
27:31
You always that hint of that, right?
27:34
And all of that music of, you know, fingers to the
27:37
establishment, figures to Mom and Dad and sure.
27:41
But there was none of that in the in the 80s.
27:46
It was Goofy shit like this and like Huey Lewis and the News and
27:50
you know, Again you know to me everything in the 90s - even the
28:01
catchy ship was - it wasn't in the 80s and that's why I, you
28:06
know, and honestly, that's why I think 80s music Still last
28:09
today. It's about the good times.
28:13
Yeah, yeah. 40. 40 years, you know, 50 years after the fact,
28:18
but you know what's funny, is that there are so many bands in
28:21
the 80s that had one song and they were able to make that one
28:25
song and because it was extremely catchy like a don't
28:29
you forget about me or a teen in love or something like that
28:32
because it was incredibly catchy it caught on with people and it
28:37
still sticks around and movies and in pop culture now, I don't,
28:42
you know, some some 90s bands can't can't have that they can,
28:47
all right, it's even the catchy stuff like Electronica or the
28:56
Breeders even that kind of stuff Stills like, you know, and and
29:02
I, I love those those bands. I thought they were funny as
29:06
hell, but they're still. Mmm, this is the little angst.
29:11
Anger will stink on it that yes, a little little but and it's
29:17
like, come on lighten, the fuck up man.
29:20
Let's have a little fun. All right.
29:22
Randy. I'm going to go to Cargo and go
29:27
with a music video that I was just watching before we started.
29:31
And what are the things is? When you're listening to their
29:34
music? You think like the music is fun
29:37
and all that but like the content is you know, pretty
29:40
serious in a way like okay it's pretty normal songs, then you
29:43
watch the music videos, like, oh here's a carnival like what?
29:47
They're just goofy. Aw strictly.
29:49
It's so I'm taking high wire. I got it.
29:55
And that's one of the ones that I put a sounds like Huey Lewis.
29:59
Yeah, that's right. Yeah, not wrong.
30:06
Very much so. And just like that.
30:09
We're at Fredo's 5m. We probably have the six Mexico.
30:14
Look, that's seven looks real good.
30:16
Yeah, I don't know, man. We can we can hit for higher.
30:20
Yeah, we really could see. Mmm.
30:26
There we go. All right, this feels like a
30:33
good time to take. To take a swing.
30:36
I'll go all the way down to two hearts.
30:40
How about everything I need? Yes, I have it.
30:45
I have it too. Okay, we're getting
30:47
representation all over the place here.
30:53
I knew I should have gone with 10.
30:58
I'm out. I'm still waiting on that
31:02
without 11, where the discussion is cutting the last.
31:08
You know what? I'm looking at?
31:10
What I have left based on on the way this conversation going.
31:15
I can see, love it. Yeah, let's not jinx anything
31:22
but I think this could go high. Yeah.
31:25
All right. Fredo Let's knock out what a I
31:33
think should be you know, number 7.
31:38
And and I saw a Randy that you said I'm doing some video
31:41
research, which is this? Yeah, I think I know and I'm not
31:47
going with the one that you think, okay.
31:50
This was off a cargo and it's a serious message.
31:54
Even in the video, it's too kind of made fun of it.
31:58
And again, take the time you need, you know, 80s.
32:02
We were starting to ramp up the the stuff with Russia again
32:07
Reagan. Is it going to be?
32:09
You know what, scared to push the button if it was going to
32:12
happen and It's um, it's a mistake.
32:16
Yep. That's exactly what I thought
32:17
you were going to say. Okay, seven, I got it.
32:22
This is the most agreeable of all time.
32:25
Yeah. But you know what, the last 15
32:31
one that we did. Justin, I think was Rage Against
32:33
the Machine. I think we had 80 beat that.
32:37
Don't you have the last one of you?
32:38
This point? Absolutely.
32:40
Yeah, the last one you and I did, I think.
32:43
I know. Yeah. 15 more recently.
32:46
But all right. Well, Randy, you want to see if
32:52
you can keep it going. Yeah, let's just do it down.
32:56
Under. You know what?
32:59
I have it but semi reluctantly really.
33:03
Yeah, I'll talk about go ahead. I'll talk about it.
33:07
After Fredo gives his answer. Yeah.
33:09
What do you got? The suspense is killing me is
33:19
killing. Might not be on there.
33:21
So. Oh, that makes me.
33:23
Yeah, I hate. This is one of the ones that I
33:25
that I just like dr. Heckle and mr.
33:28
Jive, man talking about Down Under, oh, did I say Down Under
33:38
The Knife - Brandi said Down Under I said, yeah.
33:43
Oh, you do okay. I'm sorry, dude.
33:50
Sorry. I just, um, what I was gonna say
33:53
was how you felt about down under.
33:56
It's how I felt about. Who can it be now?
33:58
Oh really? Yeah, one of the, it's like one
34:01
of the two shouldn't be there. Yeah.
34:02
And if we were doing it right and if we were doing, twenty one
34:05
of the two wouldn't have been there.
34:06
Agreed? Absolutely.
34:08
Yes, it is true. It is funny.
34:10
How like having less Made me keep it.
34:13
You would think that having less would make me more likely to
34:17
leave one out. But this was, this was number
34:22
15. I love.
34:23
Who can it be? Now way more than down under,
34:26
but like, how can I do this this episode without having down
34:31
under, if I only have 15 songs right?
34:34
You're absolutely right. So, here, here was my thing with
34:36
it, I went into it being like, I could probably do this list
34:39
without it, and then I listened to It I really gave it some real
34:44
hard critical listens and I just halfway through like hearing
34:49
the, you know, the the flute, the piccolo, whatever it is in
34:52
the background just kind of smiled.
34:55
You know, exactly. I met a man from Brussels.
34:59
He was six foot four, full of muscles.
35:01
Yeah, I asked her if you spoke my language.
35:03
He said, no, but gave me a sign. Down and the music video telling
35:15
the story with it. It's so freaking cheesy, right?
35:18
But hurry, did you see that again and this just goes to the
35:22
kind of put the emphasis on what I'm saying about people were
35:25
just willing to have fun. No, yeah.
35:30
In the early 80s and they didn't mind being a little silly and a
35:33
little stupid. Also should point out it is
35:39
down, under. It's a song about Australia
35:41
where they're from, you know, I felt kind of obligated as well
35:45
because of that. What's really funny is in the
35:49
music video. They're sort of mocking it you
35:51
know there's its got like koalas and stuffing in there looking
35:55
really cheesy. It's almost like a travel
35:57
brochure for idiots that want to go down to Australia that think.
36:03
Oh this is what Australia is. I think beeping Foster's.
36:06
And you know people who are watching a Crocodile Dundee
36:10
giant. Well he mentions Dundee in it,
36:12
right? Yeah.
36:13
Yeah and it's genius in a way, it's fantastic.
36:18
It's it was too fun to ignore. So all right.
36:22
Fredo It's your turn. Just no chittering.
36:25
Oh wait, yeah, down and raise you.
36:26
So it's me, that's right. Um, all right, all right.
36:34
This one. Feels like it may be a swing
36:36
because technically, it was on the list.
36:40
Technically, I don't think it was on the record, but I thought
36:42
it was fun. I couldn't bring myself to cut
36:44
it till the money runs out. Oh, I was like 16 or 17.
36:49
I really liked it and then I cut it because I'm just like,
36:53
There's no, it's just, it's just that line and it's really cash.
36:58
He's really funny. And actually reminded me a lot
37:00
of a more down cyz from rush if you listen to the two songs are
37:05
very, very similar, but II was just like, you know what?
37:09
If I have to make small little decisions like that, that was
37:13
just one, that it didn't feel complete in a way that makes
37:17
sense. Are you don't have it either?
37:20
Fredo, okay. Look, I said that was the swing
37:26
this week. Yeah.
37:27
Well I already said my swing. We just didn't didn't
37:31
acknowledge it. We right, right.
37:33
So my swings off a cargo and it's dr.
37:35
Heckle mr. Jive I didn't take it.
37:38
No I didn't either. And what's funny you were
37:41
playing that as a walk in. I'm like oh no this is going to
37:44
be something that I'm not in on again as as as I was listening
37:50
to it as like, oh man, that and one other song might come up
37:54
later. I felt bad for not bringing
37:56
through. I was like this one's fun.
37:58
Like, but I mean, that could be said about any of them so but
38:02
yeah, that's like I just like how they took a chance on the
38:05
story because a lot of these are a lot of their songs are very
38:09
story ish. You know, you know, I'm good
38:14
harmonica in there, too. Yeah, right.
38:17
But um, yeah, that's cool. All right.
38:21
Randy all got what we all got one that didn't like yeah, well
38:25
neither all come in. Do we even have a to know?
38:29
There's no conversation suck just yet.
38:31
Right right at. Well, you know, it's okay.
38:41
Only need one. We're at a really need two more,
38:45
two more. Oh man, I don't know if I should
38:48
just like play around and maybe we like build to it later Ike.
38:52
I love this song. So kind of like you Justin.
38:55
I took one that was not on the actual record that was alive
39:01
track that I guess was a bonus or something like that and I
39:04
absolutely love the song. I don't know why they didn't put
39:06
it on the record, but it's fantastic falling down.
39:10
No, don't take any other live stuff.
39:17
Again for me, that wasn't that wasn't the full band that was
39:20
stuff that I don't know, whatever it was.
39:23
So probably it's probably late 90s when they put out the live
39:27
album and you got his bonus stuff when you know, All right,
39:33
back around to me. All right, so just for
39:36
clarification, 1 2 3, 4 5 6, I don't know, man, we might just
39:42
play out the two rounds. Just, we'll see you in three
39:46
hours. I got fired.
39:49
So we'll just see how these this this round goes.
39:50
And then if this one or two, then we'll go from there.
40:00
Okay, how how about upstairs in my house oscillate cut today?
40:09
No, oh no. Well, I mean I guess the
40:13
positives here might be, we might need the ntp, like
40:18
something might get pulled out, just 8 years.
40:29
I don't think so. I'm gonna tell you that.
40:32
I don't think so. Yeah, can't can't be possible.
40:35
Hey, you know? And that was got to write no
40:39
upstairs in my house was just me so.
40:41
Okay. All right.
40:42
Fredo, let's get back to the unanimous, I think, and I like,
40:46
how they took for this one off of business as usual, how they
40:50
took us, a known song title and flipped it and made it something
40:57
unique and I really love the story on this one too, and it's
41:01
a bigger Johnny. Yep.
41:04
I knew exactly what you were saying.
41:05
Yeah, I don't have it. But first two, but oh my God.
41:11
Are you serious? Look, man, I needed to have till
41:14
the money runs out. So bigger, bigger bigger.
41:19
Oh, Johnny. And there's like three that I
41:30
was like, oh man, like I want to make that.
41:33
Oh my God, that executive decision, but what are you gonna
41:36
do? All right, it's got some though,
41:39
I know. But it's just one of those like
41:42
thought for sure it was going well, you know, we need to use
41:45
as well, to be able to have conversations.
41:47
This is true, this is true. All right.
41:49
Randy. All right, I got four left and I
41:54
think that this one has the best chance of going unanimous right
41:58
now. I can see it in your eyes.
42:00
I got it. Alfredo.
42:10
He probably already said it. He probably has it already said
42:13
it? No, no, I didn't.
42:15
Oh, that's a good one. We're out.
42:20
We're out of in teepee. So that's sexy.
42:26
All right. Back to me.
42:28
Yeah we're I think we're just playing out because yeah it's
42:31
112. I only have four left anyway.
42:33
So I'll just go right here at the top of my list.
42:38
Touching The Untouchables no. Oh, I give up.
42:43
I thought real hard. Yeah, I don't have it.
42:54
I'm gonna go with a 7 minute song that they have, which I
42:58
really liked down by the sea business as usual.
43:02
No, that was the one that I was really mad that I didn't take
43:07
because that one that one I listened to obviously just
43:10
before because I always push play on just the playlist.
43:13
So I listened to all of business as usual.
43:16
And as down by the Seas plan, I was like, I can't believe I cut
43:18
this. I can't believe I cut this, I
43:20
can't. If I cut this the entire time,
43:22
Yeah so just look. I feel bad knee.
43:28
All right. Randy how about no sign of
43:30
yesterday now here's our mrs. Yeah yeah yeah.
43:38
Weekly front-loaded our agreement.
43:40
So they're not become all the swing and a miss you.
43:43
Alright the next one on my list, no restrictions, no the whole no
43:49
agreement. Mike not so good about my last
43:55
two. All right Fredo let's go with a
43:57
blue for you off of cargo. No.
44:00
Nope. Oh man.
44:03
We're gonna limp out. All right.
44:05
Oh my God. You're gonna limp out Randy.
44:09
I like to. Nope, so we're actually going to
44:16
have to decide Here. Yeah, we actually have a
44:19
conversation. All right, I've only got two
44:21
left here man with two hearts. No, no.
44:29
Okay, Fredo still life from two hearts.
44:35
Nope. Now.
44:37
All right. Randy.
44:39
My last one is also from two hearts.
44:41
Giving up. Yes.
44:43
Yes. Wow.
44:52
Wow, this one's really good though.
44:58
All fantastic. You know what?
45:00
This is a good place to take a break, if you know what I'm
45:02
saying? Again Dad, I'm diabetic.
45:06
Well wait, hold on. How many more do you guys have
45:09
left? You don't, you know, I'm done.
45:10
I'm done. Oh yeah, that really was the
45:18
shit nine. We have 999.
45:28
So here's the 9th at that are already in.
45:30
Could it be now down under helpless otamatone?
45:32
People just love to play with words, Overkill?
45:34
It's a mistake high wire, giving up everything I need and we have
45:39
three in the conversation. We can only take one since we
45:42
got nine. By the way, that means nobody
45:44
gets the final say. I can see it in your eyes.
45:47
Be good. Johnny, I like to man.
45:52
Does anybody have an inkling on which way they would go on one
45:56
of those? I have one that I'm pretty.
45:58
Yeah pretty dead set on Yeah and me too.
46:01
Okay I don't know if we're going to be the same, your friend.
46:04
Oh my God. For me, it's be good.
46:07
Johnny. Yeah we're not on the same page
46:11
for me. It's I can see it in your eyes.
46:14
So what does that intro though? That intro to that and hearing
46:19
that guitar in the background? Like it's just so good.
46:22
It reminds me of like a police. A lot of this did remind me of
46:25
the police a little bit because again, we're have been really.
46:27
Yeah, they were heavily influenced by police.
46:30
The reggae stuff and that's why it took the song falling down
46:33
because I just had such a good reggae vibe to it.
46:35
But yeah, like just like, you know, there's like a pause in
46:40
that intro a little bit and it's kind of blossoming in a way,
46:43
it's blossoming. You in the song just like, whoa,
46:46
what kind of magical world are you bringing us into?
46:49
And yeah, see for me, be good. Johnny it you who that intro?
46:56
And you it's you know, you hit that guitar dude.
46:59
And then all of a sudden, it you heard of volume raise up.
47:03
So rather than a fade out, you got to fade in Then all of a
47:07
sudden dumb done on, you know, and then again you know, it
47:14
catches you right off of, you know, rifle to be from the
47:17
beginning, skip the skip, we do some like after school, we go.
47:24
Don't you say one thing I like to do is out?
47:27
Yes, I like to use out for sure Willie.
47:29
This is its, I can see it in your eyes or be good.
47:31
Johnny, and I feel like one of you has to convince the other.
47:35
All right. Well, how about how about we get
47:37
a little taste of them both. I think there's no other way to
47:41
do it. Yeah, let me screw you both and
47:45
since we're both on the Holy intro, the to the intro, and
47:52
please raise it louder, so I can hear it.
47:58
So pretty. Then the drum beat gets a little
48:16
bit quicker, kind of speeds up a little bit.
48:19
All right, let's go to bigger. Johnny's intro.
48:28
So if we're looking for impact, it's like I can see it in your
48:31
eyes. This one takes a sec.
48:37
Yeah, yeah. But that's, but that's what I
48:39
like about it. Is that you get that filled up
48:43
and then that done done on that's look, both are very, very
48:51
good. I'm not putting one down over
48:55
the other. I see, like can I see in your
48:59
eye? I'm sorry.
48:59
Be good, Jonny. I kind of see as like a little
49:03
bit of the who with synth in a way.
49:06
I don't know if you see the same thing.
49:09
Is the intro, and I'm so blinded by memory.
49:19
Okay. You know, I said, so you're
49:23
taking this from like 16, year-old, Fred?
49:25
Oh, right, right. Which is exactly how I will buy
49:29
was 16 years old. All right, so it's so let me ask
49:33
you guys this based on what we have in, what completes our list
49:37
better. So we have who Be now down under
49:39
help us a TomTom. People just love to play with
49:41
words, Overkill, it's a mistake high wire giving up everything I
49:45
need. Which one completes the list
49:47
better, That's really tough. Oh yeah.
49:54
Don't okay. Here's what I'll tell.
49:56
You don't think we have anything that sounds like like be good.
50:01
Johnny. I don't know.
50:06
I play the beginning again of the other one.
50:10
Sure, scroll back up. I don't think we got a beginning
50:17
like that either. No.
50:21
It's so pretty. It's very Spacey.
50:25
Yeah. Oh absolutely.
50:26
Yeah. Especially that little guitar.
50:34
The most like typical like Echo, Reverb, 80s guitar in there.
50:44
Okay, let me let's bring this song in.
50:50
And let's let's get the beginning and see what we think.
50:56
People just the beginning of people just love to play would
51:00
work. It's a little bit different
51:07
because you're starting to full band doesn't?
51:09
Yeah, well, how about a mile high wire?
51:15
I think that also same Yeah, no. No I'm just tryna.
51:22
Let's try. Let's try.
51:27
It's a mistake. I think that one kind of has the
51:32
same butt. I don't think that's the same.
51:42
Stephanie doesn't have that are to it that space, right?
51:46
Oh, no, I'm looking for one that sounds like eat.
51:49
You know? That's the beginning could be
51:50
either. Or will he have that kind of
51:52
sound? Yeah, representation, because we
51:56
could go either way and this one does sound a little bit more to
51:59
me, like, be good. Johnny, in the sense of that?
52:03
It's a little riffy. Yeah.
52:06
Ma try everything I need because I can't remember exactly how
52:09
that ensure want. That's right.
52:16
How about giving up. Some know yet, none of them
52:26
really have that developing sound to it.
52:31
None of them are really that space either helpless Autumn.
52:36
Oh okay, yeah, that's fair. To be fair, that's more robotic
52:42
more to show. Oh yeah, that's all sea bass.
52:50
Yeah, I'm a, you know what? I'm I'm, I'm willing to concede.
52:57
Here's the bottom line. Solid on 9 of the 10 and the
53:05
tenth one I really can't complain about.
53:07
Yeah. I don't know.
53:08
Yeah, these are, you know, results are great.
53:11
All right, so I'm not gonna not gonna sit here and pull a
53:15
regular Fredo. Wow, I look for it, you know,
53:18
fight and I'm not at work, especially after what happened
53:27
in the stones. You're like, I don't want to do
53:29
that again, right? No, no, no, I won't do that
53:32
again. No, there's there's no, no, no,
53:34
no. There's no doubt about that.
53:36
I just don't think that this is the band.
53:40
I'm to do it with. I don't think that after nine
53:44
that we went through and this might be the second time.
53:48
I've been on a nine, I don't know.
53:52
And maybe the other one was on a date.
53:53
I can't remember the nines. The nines aren't that you
53:57
deserve a painting, so I don't know.
54:00
Yeah, I know. But I mean, you know, I've been
54:02
doing this a long time, they're so right?
54:05
So, how long is just a minute? Well, I probably Same time.
54:11
Oh, Justice. Got what two episodes on me?
54:15
I think, I'm not like the third panel.
54:17
I mean, I think so. Your, we'll get into that later.
54:20
That's, that's fair at that become.
54:23
Yeah, bottom line. Bottom line is, I'm not gonna
54:27
yell and scream over this one. Whatever, whatever you guys want
54:32
and and I will concede, I can't get over that space sound so I'm
54:38
I'm I'm going to I can see it in your eyes.
54:41
So that gives us this 10. Who can it be?
54:42
Now down under a help us otamatone, people just love to
54:45
play with words Overkill. It's a mistake Highwire.
54:47
Giving up everything I need. I can see it in your eyes.
54:50
Are our 10, okay? So now the question is, what is
54:54
the one Fredo? This is where the argument
55:02
really. I'm really this to and neither
55:07
one of them would be the ones you would think.
55:12
I want either Overkill or it's a mistake.
55:15
Okay. What do you think?
55:17
Ready? I want Overkill.
55:20
For the record, the the two answers.
55:22
I got from the audience, both of them were Overkill.
55:27
And one said, that's the number one and I tend to agree.
55:32
All right, so maybe we go with Overkill as our number one.
55:37
I think that sounds like a good plan.
55:39
I'm good with that. All right.
55:41
So how about? Let's get it.
55:45
We have done. It Overkill is our number one
55:47
who can it be now down under helpless.
55:49
Am People just love to play with words.
55:51
It's a mistake high wire, giving up everything I need, and I can
55:55
see it in your eyes rounds out. Our 10, let's say, Overkill get
55:58
a moment in the Sun. Diving in too deep.
56:09
Possibly the complications, especially at night who would
56:14
have known 94-minute work? We sure were men at work and I
56:20
got to be honest, we didn't say work as many times as I thought
56:23
we would. So, you know, but if, but when
56:26
you get ready to post this sober listeners.
56:29
No, no, no. When you get ready to post this
56:32
that the beginning, it'll be a whole different thing.
