  To program the podcast where we try to get you into a band
• 0:35
  today, we are talking about the cars.
• 0:38
  Vroom vroom, haha. Nobody please pick Toyota or
• 0:48
  Honda or anything like that. Oh don't jump right on it with
• 0:52
  him please. Well that was a that was a
• 0:57
  warning. That was a warning that you and
• 0:59
  I will not make a peep. Whenever he does make that
• 1:02
  reference, I promise you. That was the one and only cheesy
• 1:06
  corny joke. I will take.
• 1:08
  I my old shit might honk later, but who knows?
• 1:12
  So we're here to talk to Cars and surprisingly this, I can't
• 1:16
  believe it took this long to get here, but and I'm surprised that
• 1:21
  Fredo did not put them on the board.
• 1:22
  It was you Randy, you, you came after we did what men at work
• 1:28
  and you said, hey what about the cars?
• 1:30
  So talk to me. Glad you said men at work
• 1:33
  because I think, you know, it took a week or two after we
• 1:37
  finished that to kind of think of the type of band that they
• 1:40
  were and what I really loved. I don't remember if it was in
• 1:43
  the Ation for the actual episode if it were if it was an after
• 1:46
  after the fact but I remember Fredo saying that that era of
• 1:51
  music was just fun like there was no you know, trying to be
• 1:56
  political there was no trying to like be angry about things.
• 1:59
  It was all about just making fun music and I was really trying to
• 2:03
  come up with in my head you know what other bands from that era
• 2:08
  fit that and the cars were like the perfect fit for that because
• 2:14
  They are nothing but a fun-loving band that doesn't
• 2:17
  have a whole lot of songs that have a deep-seated meaning.
• 2:21
  They're mostly about cars, or mostly about women and it's
• 2:25
  just, it's fun. Like, most of the songs that Ric
• 2:28
  Ocasek rights are just pretty simplistic, and they have a nice
• 2:32
  little Groove to them. And it's just all developed be
• 2:36
  like fun catchy, pop songs. And yeah, it was kind of an
• 2:41
  epiphany moment where I thought about this.
• 2:44
  This for a while and I looked at my vinyl collection.
• 2:46
  I'm like, oh yeah, of course, why didn't I think of this
• 2:50
  earlier? And honestly, I guess I had
• 2:52
  thought that you had covered it before because it feels like
• 2:56
  band that, you know, somebody would have pitched and somebody
• 2:58
  would have done. But I'm glad that we've got to
• 3:01
  this point because right? When I pitched it, I think you
• 3:04
  kind of put it up the express lane and wanted to do it right
• 3:07
  away. Yeah.
• 3:09
  Because you know who doesn't know that you know even I know
• 3:12
  the cars like you know, I don't I don't, I didn't know no the
• 3:15
  cars, but I know the cars, you know what I mean?
• 3:17
  Like, every but everybody knows the cars.
• 3:19
  You just don't, you just don't know the cars which, you know,
• 3:23
  I'm glad you said start talking about how fun this was because
• 3:26
  immediately, as I'm pushing play on the playlist.
• 3:28
  Fredo, like, I'm taking right back to when we did the Go-Go's
• 3:32
  and like, you know, it's not an Apples to Apples here, but like,
• 3:35
  that is what this felt like. So so talk to me the cars, you
• 3:38
  know, what is it for you? Okay, I know a lot of bands.
• 3:44
  I know a lot of music, I can tell you, exactly, when I heard
• 3:49
  just what I needed for the first time, it was a Sunday.
• 3:53
  It was 1979. It was about 10:30.
• 4:01
  Excuse me. 9:30 because at 10:00 dr.
• 4:03
  Demento came on. I used to listen to dr.
• 4:06
  Demento and, I don't I couldn't tell you why it's stuck in my
• 4:14
  head. but it did, and You know you can tell a car song.
• 4:24
  Looks like you could tell a go-go song, you hear a song
• 4:28
  that's the Go-Go's. You hear a song by the car
• 4:30
  that's the cars. and, The consistency of that band during
• 4:37
  the during the 80s, late 70s, and the 80s.
• 4:43
  We put out for albums and four years 78. 79 80. 81 first four
• 4:48
  albums. All of them went platinum and
• 4:50
  multi-platinum. It where they were consistently
• 4:55
  on radio. You didn't know what to call
• 5:00
  them. Yeah.
• 5:01
  It weren't rock and roll. They weren't new ways.
• 5:03
  They weren't it really weren't pop.
• 5:07
  And yet, it were Rock. And they were new wave and they
• 5:10
  were pop. Ric Ocasek.
• 5:12
  Did not, did not have the most melodic voice.
• 5:18
  He did it, but there was just, you know, there was something
• 5:23
  about them and it's a band. At nobody or very few people
• 5:29
  would ever say, you know, this is one of my favorite bands.
• 5:32
  There's nobody who would say I hate to spend nobody.
• 5:36
  Yeah. Oh absolutely.
• 5:37
  Yep. You know and so um it's just a
• 5:43
  and to as I was going through the list to make my list, I had
• 5:48
  to purposely go out of my way, do not put 20 songs that
• 5:54
  everybody knew, you know, like I could have come up with 20 songs
• 6:01
  and it literally would have been their greatest hits package.
• 6:04
  Mmm. You know, it's alright.
• 6:07
  It's so just just to get some diversity and they probably
• 6:10
  won't even make them but I had to throw in some other songs so
• 6:14
  that people could get a taste. Of who this disband really is,
• 6:21
  man because they were amazing. It really, really were.
• 6:27
  So I'm glad I'm glad he said that because this is one of
• 6:29
  those bands where like they're they cover a lot of ground here.
• 6:34
  I feel like this is a band where you can go here.
• 6:39
  Listen to this. This one record specifically the
• 6:42
  first one and you can get it, you understand?
• 6:45
  This is a band you can go. Here's our greatest hits.
• 6:48
  And you can get it, you can understand, and then you can go
• 6:52
  here's, you know, you know, some of the deeper cuts and you'll
• 6:55
  get it. You'll understand like what
• 6:57
  there's lots of different ways that this list can actually come
• 7:00
  out to play. But like, as I mentioned, like,
• 7:05
  I never got into the cars but and then you know, there's
• 7:09
  there's like I do easily six or seven songs that like I knew, I
• 7:13
  know our car songs and then like as you start listening, oh like
• 7:18
  oh yeah. Yeah, that's a car.
• 7:19
  So yeah, that's a car song. Oh yeah, duh that's a car song.
• 7:22
  Oh yeah, duh that's a car song like it and I can't even tell
• 7:26
  you how many times that happened.
• 7:28
  So I guess, you know you kind of well Fred already started
• 7:33
  walking through it but like for you, Randy.
• 7:35
  How did you go about putting your list together?
• 7:38
  Well, first of all, I want to comments off of something that
• 7:41
  Fredo said about Ric Ocasek. And that's, you know, you're
• 7:45
  absolutely right. He was not the most melodic
• 7:47
  singer, he had personality within his songs and I think,
• 7:51
  because of the era that they were in, you know, early 80s
• 7:55
  late 70s, that music videos, really started to kind of kick
• 7:59
  in and, and become part of, you know, our music and musical in
• 8:05
  take, whether it was positive or negative on that.
• 8:08
  And I think that because he was such a unique looking guy, he
• 8:14
  had the sunglasses, he had kind of like the rockabilly hair and,
• 8:19
  you know, his music, the music videos that they had.
• 8:21
  Like you might think how, you know, you turns into a giant and
• 8:25
  like you see him all over the place and it becomes synonymous
• 8:29
  with the cars, he is the cars. However, what I thought was very
• 8:35
  interesting within the research for this is that at Benjamin or
• 8:40
  sings, just as many, Maybe not, maybe even more car songs than
• 8:45
  than Rick does. And I was like, and almost all
• 8:49
  of those are hits as well. That's the crazy thing about it
• 8:53
  that that's why when he died, it was such a big deal.
• 8:59
  When Benjamin or passed away of pancreatic cancer, it was a, it
• 9:04
  was a huge deal because it cut the, it cut their ability to
• 9:13
  authentically, do their catalog in half.
• 9:17
  It would be like if like John Lennon being dead and all
• 9:22
  McCartney, and let's say, George Harrison was still alive and
• 9:26
  Paul McCartney, got George. Sitting Ringo Starr.
• 9:29
  The Beatles catalog would be effectively cut in half because
• 9:33
  they have any songs. John Sang.
• 9:35
  All right. And and they did do an album in
• 9:40
  like 2011, which I mean, I we didn't even do it for for this
• 9:46
  because it just wasn't really needed.
• 9:48
  And I think that once it was kind of brought up, like, should
• 9:51
  we do it or it's just like that's not that's not the cars.
• 9:54
  You need the whole band for it to be the cars.
• 9:57
  And you know, I think that they tried to do some kind of, you
• 10:01
  know, Reformation of the band. And you know, once once you lose
• 10:06
  an important member like that It's you can't recreate that
• 10:10
  fire. You're absolutely right.
• 10:11
  I really can't. And I think that that was the
• 10:14
  most eye-opening thing for me in this research is how, how
• 10:19
  important he was, and a lot of that comes from, you know, I
• 10:23
  sometimes like to go out and watch a live show.
• 10:27
  I'll go out on YouTube and watch a full live show.
• 10:30
  That might be on there of a band that we're covering for the
• 10:32
  show. And I watched I watched the cars
• 10:36
  live and it It felt like it was it was or on every single song,
• 10:42
  and he was kind of more in front than Ric Ocasek.
• 10:46
  Was like the camera was almost always on or when Ocasek was
• 10:51
  playing and not singing, you never saw it and I thought it
• 10:56
  was really strange because he is the poster boy for it.
• 11:00
  It's not strange. I don't think it's strange
• 11:03
  because he was a good-looking guy.
• 11:05
  Um, you know, it And let's take it like Hall & Oates, okay?
• 11:12
  50/50. And yet you, if you ever see a
• 11:16
  video, it's almost always focused on hall.
• 11:20
  Hall was the good-looking guy, Simon and Garfunkel, Simon
• 11:23
  Garfunkel, Simon was the good-looking guy and so here.
• 11:28
  And luckily, Ric Ocasek played guitar, he wasn't a lead singer.
• 11:35
  He was part of the band and total Souls into, right?
• 11:41
  So when he said you know, so if he wasn't singing, you really
• 11:46
  didn't want the camera focusing on this super tall.
• 11:50
  Super lanky, really geeky looking guy.
• 11:56
  Yeah, when you got this good-looking guy, Are at can
• 12:03
  make the women kind of go. Ooh, look at that, you know,
• 12:07
  right. Um, so yeah, it doesn't surprise
• 12:10
  me at all that they focused on them.
• 12:13
  I think it's just because the music videos and how like how
• 12:18
  Rick was really in the focus point of a lot of those.
• 12:22
  You know, I mean walking on water and like their music
• 12:25
  videos are legendary their cheesy as hell Looking Back, 40
• 12:29
  years ago, but they're they're of of Legend.
• 12:33
  And I think that I always kind of grew up knowing who he was
• 12:37
  even outside of the cars, just being a personality.
• 12:40
  So and I'm glad that that kind of stuck with me from this.
• 12:45
  And look, I can look at all this and I can say, I wouldn't be
• 12:50
  surprised if I'm split down the middle.
• 12:52
  Have 10 that are or sung songs and have 10 that are Rick's On
• 12:56
  songs. But, you know, I think that what
• 12:59
  I went with when creating List was just what's going to stick
• 13:03
  in my head. And I just spent a lot of time
• 13:07
  listening to them and I really love the listen.
• 13:09
  And if something was in my head for like more than a couple of
• 13:14
  minutes, I went back to that frequently and that's how the
• 13:17
  list ended up being. It's not all hits per se but
• 13:22
  honestly it did the songs on a pick that word hits could have
• 13:27
  been picked and could have been hit.
• 13:28
  Yeah. So yeah I think um, I couldn't
• 13:32
  tell you other than the obvious. What it's a what was in or song
• 13:36
  or what was it Ric, Ocasek song? I didn't go back to the videos.
• 13:40
  I just went for the feel and it's funny because as I look
• 13:46
  back, I don't remember check that or sang so many of the
• 13:54
  songs but nobody ever made a big deal about it at the time until
• 14:00
  the song Drive came out. Right.
• 14:03
  And and it was such a even though it's an obvious car song,
• 14:11
  it was there, you know, it was a love song.
• 14:16
  In cars to me, it was still a Love Song and so it was a focus
• 14:22
  on that. Is that video with or singing?
• 14:28
  At finally kind of brought some Focus to or but then you got
• 14:36
  then you got Ric Ocasek, marrying Paulo, whatever the
• 14:39
  hell her name was and nobody could believe that because he
• 14:42
  was such a fucking geek and she was absolutely gorgeous but you
• 14:47
  know, yeah there it is but just an incredible.
• 14:54
  Band man. It really, really were.
• 14:56
  So Randy already touched on how he put his list together.
• 14:59
  You you started saying something about about how you're putting
• 15:02
  your list together, but what other kind of considerations did
• 15:05
  you put into your list? Fredo same thing II do with all
• 15:11
  the bands that I existed for and they came up, which is memories
• 15:17
  You know, which ones I brought back memories, which is brought
• 15:22
  back feelings. And let me tell you, I, um, I
• 15:28
  normally because I know a lot of these catalogs that I do.
• 15:32
  So I normally spend a couple that's why little
• 15:36
  behind-the-scenes whenever Justin start reaching out for
• 15:39
  us. What are you going to be done
• 15:40
  when you're going to be done? I'm like, whatever, but I'm
• 15:43
  gonna go with once we get a date.
• 15:47
  I normally start listening three or four days before because I
• 15:50
  already know the catalogs. You know, 95% of the time.
• 15:56
  But this was one that the minute we started talking about it.
• 15:59
  I went right back because it's been so long since I listened to
• 16:01
  him. and I'm glad I went back because the flood of memories
• 16:07
  that came in, a lot of these songs, like I can you remember
• 16:16
  can either of you remember listening to songs on the radio?
• 16:21
  I turning on the radio. Yeah.
• 16:23
  And and yeah I can do that for just about every song that was a
• 16:30
  hit for them. Yeah.
• 16:32
  Nice you know and so there was, you know, me playing football
• 16:37
  with my buddies in the radio outside in a car song coming on.
• 16:40
  There was me hanging out my friends, drinking and a song and
• 16:44
  a car song came on. You know I could put these songs
• 16:50
  into my Youth, and my and growing up.
• 16:54
  And so I'm glad I started early because I stopped writing the
• 17:00
  list and I would just listen. Yeah.
• 17:04
  Yeah, I guess so, so for me again, like Not to tip my hand,
• 17:13
  but I do have a lot of hits, but that's because they're
• 17:15
  undeniable and, you know, we'll cross, um, you know, as we come
• 17:20
  up on them, because the way this game goes, you never know.
• 17:24
  Like, even the undeniable ones might get denied.
• 17:27
  But man, like, kind of like you like, there's a lot of memory
• 17:33
  here and it's not necessarily the same, like, you know, me and
• 17:36
  my boys playing football but like movies and Because so many
• 17:43
  of these, you know, up a video. Yeah and like thing it just
• 17:47
  takes you there immediately on top of the fact of, you know,
• 17:52
  just turning on the radio and you know, here's a car song.
• 17:58
  So this again this is this is the closest we've gotten to like
• 18:04
  that goes feel like this the second I started listen to The
• 18:08
  Go-Go's. I was like, I loved you Fredo
• 18:10
  because oh man. Because it's just fun.
• 18:14
  And in this was a, this was such a breeze to listen to and Such
• 18:21
  agreeable music like that. I don't even the ones that don't
• 18:26
  make it. It's gonna hurt, but it's like
• 18:28
  at the same time. There's so many that qualify,
• 18:31
  right? This will be a satisfying 10 no
• 18:33
  matter how you slice it, right? So I guess it kind of reminds me
• 18:38
  of a, in some ways, it reminded me of the clutch one.
• 18:41
  Yeah. And that like yeah, I want to go
• 18:44
  with this song. Okay.
• 18:47
  Yeah, you know, Pick A or B. Be, mmm.
• 18:51
  I don't care. Whichever one.
• 18:52
  I'm happy with either one it. So, you know where that's what
• 18:57
  happened when we did clutch. It was like their music was Was
• 19:05
  so agreeable. We each other that you could sit
• 19:11
  there and say, okay, I'm going to take A over B and even if you
• 19:15
  like beer, like I'm okay with a hmm, you know?
• 19:19
  And and and there's a lot of that that's here.
• 19:23
  So based on that, then Randy this, this could go many, many
• 19:28
  different ways. What do you think, what do you
• 19:30
  think for the for the final, say how many you think we're going
• 19:33
  to get through unanimous? All right, so I counted through
• 19:36
  all my songs and when I counted was Counted.
• 19:40
  Like, what I thought had 100 almost 100% possibility to be
• 19:46
  unanimous and I got about seven, I think.
• 19:50
  And then usually you do a plus 1 for 8.
• 19:54
  I'm not gonna do that. Okay, I'm not gonna do it
• 19:57
  because the plus one would be just sort of something random.
• 20:01
  I am just going to will this to an existence because the last
• 20:05
  time that we did the show, we got nine, right?
• 20:09
  This might be the day that we get 10 and I am just going to go
• 20:14
  and pick a cat doesn't mean anything.
• 20:17
  So you know, I'll pick nine. I'll pick nine because picking
• 20:20
  ten would just be redundant because it would you know you
• 20:25
  wouldn't get a pic. So I'm picking 9 and then I'll
• 20:28
  get the last say ass post. Right.
• 20:31
  Fredo Randy's. Setting the bar High.
• 20:34
  Yeah, good. I'm glad he said that high
• 20:36
  because I didn't gonna get that high.
• 20:38
  I already can tell you that there are obvious ones that I
• 20:40
  left off, because there was so many obvious ones, there was no
• 20:45
  way. I was going to have a list of
• 20:47
  220 with 15 of them being obvious ones.
• 20:52
  Yeah, so I had to in order to get songs from some of the other
• 20:57
  albums on I had to, you know, get rid of some.
• 21:03
  That should be on this list, but that being said, I'm gonna split
• 21:08
  the middle and say five, okay, um, because that's what I think
• 21:13
  because I'm sure what Randy's thinking is going to be a slam
• 21:20
  dunk? There's probably a good chance
• 21:22
  that that's one of the songs I left off.
• 21:24
  Hmm. Yeah, taking that into account,
• 21:28
  I'm going to one up your one because I've been eyeballing
• 21:30
  this number all Long. So I'm going to stay stay there.
• 21:34
  I'm going to go with 66 feels right?
• 21:37
  It feels right. I hope Randy's, right?
• 21:40
  I hope I hope we do 9i or I hope it's it it, you know, it sets
• 21:44
  the record. I hope it does 10.
• 21:46
  I will say that out of the hits, like the obvious hits.
• 21:49
  I think that there were two pretty obvious songs that I
• 21:54
  didn't put on, but most of the rest of them are probably there.
• 21:58
  Mmm. So when I share, and then we all
• 22:01
  have The raft going in, I will tell you this there is one song.
• 22:08
  And I will fight for if their song doesn't make it.
• 22:11
  I don't care if the song only gets my vote, it's this episode
• 22:15
  will never end God. God not another 11 know.
• 22:20
  There's this is this is one of my top.
• 22:23
  This is one of my top favorite songs of all time.
• 22:27

  of us have come through. Most of The Cars discography
• 23:42
  will have to open them and plucked out 20 songs.
• 23:44
  They were now going to mash together in an attempt to create
• 23:46
  a top 10 circuit for you. In case you have never listened
• 23:50
  to the cars and I was, I was, you know, I always ask or at
• 23:56
  least always try to ask the audience.
• 23:58
  You know what they consider essential in?
• 24:01
  This is the first time we're over half of my list was
• 24:04
  mentioned over. wow, I have was mentioned by by people so tells
• 24:11
  me like I'm you know I mean I'm in a decent range here you know
• 24:14
  I'm sure some of them will miss But knowing what Fredo said,
• 24:21
  this one worries me, but I feel like I got to start here because
• 24:25
  I got this one a couple times just what I needed, of course,
• 24:31
  really a course. I mean, I said that song stuck
• 24:36
  right in my head, the minute. I heard it in 1979.
• 24:42
  I will tell you this, though. Real quick.
• 24:45
  And I wanted to pick that song cuz I wanted to tell the story
• 24:48
  about it. I have an ex-girlfriend.
• 24:53
  Cool. Almost ruined that song for me.
• 24:57
  Oh really. Oh my God.
• 24:58
  Yeah because she I mean to me this is obvious what the the
• 25:06
  take that the song is which is of a guy who's saying that this
• 25:11
  girl is exactly what I needed to, you know, that you know,
• 25:15
  forever for life. and she went and said that the meaning of it
• 25:20
  that the meaning she took from it was like that the guy was
• 25:25
  pathetic most because like it was like he's putting the
• 25:31
  pressure on her you know it was and it was just like such a
• 25:35
  bizarre definition of the song or interpretation so that's like
• 25:43
  it. Don't ever say that again.
• 25:45
  Also feels too nuanced for that era but things were awakened yet
• 25:50
  much more simply than right. Right.
• 25:53
  I mean this is, you know, this is on an album came out 78.
• 25:56
  Yeah. You know, I, but anyway, that
• 26:00
  that kind of soured me for the song for a couple years but then
• 26:06
  You know, I came back around well, you know, and how can you
• 26:09
  not like the its you just listen to it.
• 26:13
  And like you said, it's the fucking cars like this is them
• 26:18
  and, you know, we'll come back to that same sentence a lot
• 26:22
  today. But this is them.
• 26:24
  And I, whether this is one or not, I don't know, like it could
• 26:28
  be I could very much, you know, I could hear a case for it but I
• 26:31
  can there's at least like 19 other songs that could You 20.
• 26:37
  All right we got one. All right.
• 26:39
  Randy. So what I love about, just what
• 26:43
  I needed is that just sort of the Moog the way that that
• 26:47
  sounds like that. Like that's my favorite type of
• 26:54
  car sound. They have a lot of different
• 26:56
  sounds but I think that that is the one that sticks with me the
• 26:59
  most. And I think another song that
• 27:01
  has that easily as let's go. Yep.
• 27:05
  Yeah, I got it. All right.
• 27:08
  Like nightlife baby, you know, Funny that you say that that's
• 27:13
  one of a lot of songs. A lot of sounds that the cars
• 27:17
  have yet. Any car song?
• 27:24
  No. It's the good enough.
• 27:26
  Yeah. They're right.
• 27:27
  Exactly. You know.
• 27:28
  Like it. Does it.
• 27:29
  Okay. Yeah.
• 27:30
  But that doesn't have moved Center.
• 27:32
  Is that most centered? Yeah.
• 27:34
  It does matter scars and tell you about a guitar or if you
• 27:37
  know or by by the Pattern. And a lot of the songs are sung,
• 27:43
  it just pattern. Absolutely.
• 27:46
  Yeah. Yes.
• 27:49
  Oh oh, shit with 242, always loved that kind of a start.
• 27:53
  Yeah. When this one came up on a
• 27:55
  playlist, is this is the first song on the second record.
• 27:58
  I was like, wait, I know this. This is one of the songs that
• 28:02
  like it knit like you are souls. Yeah.
• 28:06
  You hear it in your like, well, duh like it, you know, I don't
• 28:12
  know why. I didn't know, but duh.
• 28:14
  So but and you know what? That's one of the songs that I
• 28:18
  looked And I look to see where it was on the album and I went
• 28:23
  Justin's got this one guarantee and I think that was the one
• 28:29
  that popped up a couple others on this list or like, Justin's
• 28:33
  got this. Yeah because it's the first the
• 28:36
  first track it sets the mood. The whole album and yeah and
• 28:44
  let's go sets the mood for that album.
• 28:46
  Yeah, and you know it's Kandy. Ho Kandy.
• 28:49
  Ho is the name of the record and like, how delicious how sweet is
• 28:52
  this song? Like it is?
• 28:54
  Yeah, it is fucking like sugar exist in your mouth.
• 28:58
  It's perfect. All right, Fredo.
• 29:02
  All right. You know what?
• 29:03
  Let's get this out of the way. So we can either make this a
• 29:07
  great episode. You guys can start planning how
• 29:10
  you're going to fucking given to me.
• 29:12
  Golly, that's what this is. Also off of can't of candy.
• 29:17
  Oh, my, this is a top 10 favorite song of mine.
• 29:22
  Oh God. And it also, like, and I mean
• 29:24
  favorite song, I'm not talking about cars songs.
• 29:28
  It's my number one car song without without a doubt.
• 29:35
  Yeah. And she's a lot like you the
• 29:37
  dangerous type. Yes I have it me to all right.
• 29:41
  We don't have that. Yes we don't have to have a
• 29:44
  squabble. Yeah I loved it and this was you
• 29:47
  know easily top 10 but could be creeping into the top five.
• 29:50
  I love this song. Yeah that's the.
• 29:54
  What do you think about it? Well again like the fucking
• 29:57
  cars, you know what I mean? Like right God me and I'm going
• 30:01
  to be really repetitive here but like that's how, you know.
• 30:04
  That's how you know, like I was having fun.
• 30:07
  Listen, what was it? Yeah.
• 30:10
  Yeah. We were, we were very, very much
• 30:12
  so. But yeah, this is 3 for 3.
• 30:14
  And after three awesome, and, and I'll tell you what really
• 30:20
  makes this song for me is, is the ending.
• 30:25
  It's that last minute and a half, and those drum fills Each.
• 30:31
  He's a lot like you the dangerous tight and you just get
• 30:36
  some kind of really simple drum fills but there.
• 30:39
  Yeah. Oh my God.
• 30:41
  That's right. It just makes that song pop at
• 30:44
  the end. You know.
• 30:45
  And it's such a it's such a 180 from the way the song begins,
• 30:51
  right? Because it begins with that,
• 30:52
  just simple, you know whatever. However play it No, we get 30
• 31:01
  seconds of it. I'll turn it up.
• 31:06
  I'll pray for the beginning so they can hear how simple it is.
• 31:13
  For the record they could it was just low.
• 31:17
  I can't hear you guys couldn't. But and then I mean, look at how
• 31:22
  simple it begins and then when you and and then, if you just
• 31:26
  play a little bit of the end like the skip right to it.
• 31:38
  The page are the trolley W Playbook.
• 31:40
  Yeah, yeah. But it's some again, the drum
• 31:45
  fills that like you heard how simple it was at the beginning.
• 31:49
  Then it does on the back end, it's it's explosion of sound and
• 31:54
  the drum fills with you just giving the right emphasis at the
• 31:58
  right time and It's as its as epic as the cars can get, you
• 32:04
  know what I mean? Like right.
• 32:06
  They don't Venture into that territory.
• 32:08
  Very much and this even this is only like four and some change.
• 32:13
  But they take that last minute and a half, like you said, and
• 32:16
  make they take you on a ride. And this is how the record ends
• 32:19
  to issue we should point out. So like we take all of this into
• 32:23
  a shadow. I also wanted to say like, you
• 32:27
  know, listening to that a lot of what I've been doing lately when
• 32:30
  I'm putting together a list. I'm on my first pass, I'm not
• 32:34
  listening to entire songs because all right, you know, you
• 32:39
  know, I got only have so many so much time in my life, right?
• 32:43
  But right, that did not happen with the cars.
• 32:45
  I listen to every song from Every single song all of it.
• 32:50
  So again that that tells you what you need to know.
• 32:54
  Alright, so we got three now. The question becomes Do I
• 33:00
  overcome time? Do I overthink the room or do I
• 33:05
  it says it's a hot streak alive. Justin, this isn't some to
• 33:09
  overthink brother. Again, this is like the Go-Go's.
• 33:12
  Let's just have fun. All right, well with it until it
• 33:15
  until it naturally dies out, which it will that something
• 33:18
  will? I hope it's not here but I've
• 33:22
  got three stars next to this one because I got this one mentioned
• 33:26
  a lot. You know it's about in the
• 33:28
  middle of my list. And it's a different sound
• 33:31
  Drive. Yes.
• 33:34
  No. There was one of the ones that I
• 33:38
  just. No, you know it I understand you
• 33:43
  not taking it and you know, I think it's just kind of playing
• 33:47
  the percentages a little bit but I took it because it is the
• 33:53
  obvious car song that doesn't sound exactly like a car song.
• 33:57
  Like I almost had to take a double take when listening to
• 34:00
  this that you know I didn't listen to the full disk ah got
• 34:04
  the cars on a very long time but I obviously knew that song.
• 34:07
  So when hearing the course of that I'm like Wait a minute, I
• 34:11
  just thought this was some, like, random 80 song that, you
• 34:15
  know, kind of like, you know, a band that like, aha or Flock of
• 34:19
  Seagulls. That only had a one hit.
• 34:21
  Wonder, I kind of thought it was part of that because it just had
• 34:23
  that, you know, typical sort of 80 sound to it, but it coming
• 34:28
  from the Cars is so much more meaningful than that because
• 34:33
  that is not a song. That's not a type of song that
• 34:36
  they go back to. So yeah, I No, that's that's,
• 34:40
  that's the reason why I put it in.
• 34:41
  I was impressed with it that way.
• 34:43
  I didn't put it in for that same reason.
• 34:47
  Why? Because it's not, it's not a
• 34:50
  saw. It's a, and we've had this, this
• 34:54
  this kind of an issue with other songs in the past.
• 35:00
  You get this one song that's not indicative of their sound.
• 35:06
  And so to put that on the list for me and no God knows I've
• 35:12
  done it before and been shot down.
• 35:15
  But for me, This is where I felt the way.
• 35:19
  Normally the panel feels, which is like, it's the song belong
• 35:23
  there. Yeah.
• 35:24
  But this is a song that I can introduce once I've got you into
• 35:27
  the once, I've got you into the cars, if I gave you this on a
• 35:32
  top 10 list and you started to expect this to be part of there.
• 35:38
  Of the repertoire of sounds. You'd be sadly mistaken.
• 35:43
  I could easily see this are, you know, we got to so I could
• 35:45
  easily see this going both ways. Like, if we are somehow limping
• 35:50
  29, I could see this eking in at 9:00 or 10:00.
• 35:53
  But I could also depending on what where we go.
• 35:56
  But this this is exactly what I was saying before.
• 35:59
  Like this could there's so many different ways to take this
• 36:02
  band. So right.
• 36:04
  All right, right. But this, but this is also a
• 36:05
  song. You know I'm or if you would say
• 36:10
  okay we're coming down to it and you guys say afraid it would you
• 36:14
  have a problem with it? No.
• 36:15
  Yeah I got it all put it on there.
• 36:17
  Yeah. All right Randy.
• 36:19
  Let's try to start another streak again.
• 36:23
  Let's go to I believe this was on heartbeat.
• 36:26
  No, this was on. This is the title track of Shake
• 36:29
  It Up called. Shake It Up.
• 36:33
  I got to go to his heartbeat City for a sec.
• 36:35
  It's not. I got it.
• 36:38
  There goes. We're back, we're back.
• 36:40
  All right, let me find it on here.
• 36:43
  That was almost a song. I cut out two same reason.
• 36:48
  Just because that oh well I mean because of the hits, you know.
• 36:52
  Yeah. So this one was one of like the
• 36:56
  five hours. Sure.
• 36:57
  Of like I didn't even have to listen.
• 36:59
  I did. But I didn't have to.
• 37:01
  Yeah. Agreed on that.
• 37:03
  I was like yeah. Shake it up as in like, I don't
• 37:06
  care. Like we got a couple more.
• 37:08
  Is coming up, but I was like, I love shake it up.
• 37:11
  Like, you know, I don't even have to listen to it.
• 37:16
  It's got that same thing. We've kind of talked about
• 37:19
  already with like the sounds so, yep.
• 37:23
  All right. Fredo So like I said before,
• 37:28
  cars put out for our albums and four years, 78 had the car 79
• 37:34
  with candy 080 was Panorama and then 81 will shake it up and
• 37:40
  then they took a little bit of a Hiatus from releasing music.
• 37:44
  I think there was still touring and you know, it was still
• 37:47
  plenty on the radio. But they came back in 1984 with
• 37:53
  heartbeat City. And I believe this is the
• 37:57
  opening track and I can, and I'll bet dollars to doughnuts.
• 38:02
  You'll see this got this because this is the, like, this is the
• 38:07
  great love songs like this, where you've been away for for a
• 38:11
  while, and then you come back and it's hello again.
• 38:15
  It's the like the opening track. I go and see them all.
• 38:19
  Yeah, right. Exactly.
• 38:20
  It's like hello. Hello, you know.
• 38:23
  Yeah. Been a while.
• 38:26
  You know. This should be unanimous, right?
• 38:28
  I got it. Yeah.
• 38:30
  Yeah, it's good. I got 45.
• 38:34
  We breezed through to get five. Yeah.
• 38:36
  Really. We might get to that.
• 38:41
  We might get to that to start. We're going to a cut.
• 38:44
  So I, you know what? Right.
• 38:46
  Nothing I was an opening song. Correct.
• 38:51
  Yep. Yes.
• 38:52
  Yeah. And you were all about it when
• 38:54
  you heard it work. Yeah.
• 38:56
  I mean this is probably not my favorite of their track ones but
• 39:00
  it left enough of a mark on me to stick around so I mean I
• 39:07
  think had I known what you just said about it.
• 39:10
  Look at probably would have hit a little harder like I'm going
• 39:13
  to have to listen to it again now like like listen harder one
• 39:17
  more time at least knowing that they took a break after shake it
• 39:21
  up before Heartbreak City or heartbeat City.
• 39:24
  I feel like that That gives it a little nudge.
• 39:27
  Yeah, it was a couple years but again, there was still touring
• 39:31
  and had plenty of stuff to keep putting out but it was I love
• 39:38
  when bands do that. It's I mean like that's you
• 39:42
  know, in today's world that's good marketing.
• 39:45
  Like that's her, you know, that's that's that's smart.
• 39:49
  Hey, let's make the first one called hello again.
• 39:52
  Yeah, you miss us, right? All right.
• 39:55
  Because we missed you. Yeah.
• 40:01
  All right, I still don't want to, you know, over think there
• 40:03
  were six oggs fiver in the other ones are 24, which will probably
• 40:07
  make it if we need it. Yeah.
• 40:13
  All right, this is usually where I lead off as you know album one
• 40:17
  track one and you know it is very indicative of of the cars
• 40:23
  sound good times roll. Yes, yep, 6, 6 4 7, that's me
• 40:31
  right? I'm at six no just my nines.
• 40:38
  Look at pretty good though. It's looking great.
• 40:40
  You know what, I really love about that song.
• 40:43
  Is that if you listen, if you look at the title, good times
• 40:47
  roll, it's like you're expecting this Kick-Ass.
• 40:50
  Fucking. Yeah.
• 40:51
  That's a beginning, you know, like poisons.
• 40:53
  Nothing but a good time. Yeah.
• 40:55
  You know, rock and roll all night and there's like, Let the
• 40:58
  Good Times Roll. Yeah.
• 41:01
  You know what's behind it? That makes you feel like I yet?
• 41:05
  Good terms of rolling. Absolutely.
• 41:08
  This is the build-up to the good time.
• 41:13
  Even think about that. But like, you know, I've got it.
• 41:16
  I can hear it in my cans. Let me turn it up a little but
• 41:19
  like, yeah, dude. Like you'd think it's something
• 41:23
  up-tempo, right? But no, but it's also a great
• 41:28
  track 1. It is also a great introduction
• 41:30
  to the album. It's also a great introduction
• 41:32
  to the band. Like it also is a good time.
• 41:36
  Well, yeah, if me it's the beginning of a good time.
• 41:40
  Mmm. We don't have to fucking run in
• 41:43
  there. And start drinking our asses off
• 41:45
  and fucking skinny dipping, all that, you know what, this is the
• 41:48
  people getting together. This is all here's Justin coming
• 41:52
  in. Alright?
• 41:58
  That's it. This is real live.
• 42:00
  Like Bob Marley's, jamming in the same way, you know what I
• 42:04
  mean? Yeah, just like you party song,
• 42:07
  right? But again, it not every party
• 42:10
  song has to be You know, running around naked and making out with
• 42:16
  everything is screaming at, you know?
• 42:18
  Yeah, this is this is like old Mike and Bob days, this is like,
• 42:22
  when were first getting to the bar and everybody goes, oh shit.
• 42:25
  If they're here. Yeah, this is right.
• 42:27
  This is exactly like you could hear that right?
• 42:30
  Playing? Like as we're walking in like
• 42:32
  this is that all right good times.
• 42:35
  Roll is in all right, Randy. So I want to take this song and
• 42:42
  for look, I think it has a chance to continue the streak,
• 42:46
  but I also am. I'm curious to hear afraid of
• 42:50
  does have it because this seems like it would be one of the hits
• 42:54
  that he might have. Just let off left off his list.
• 42:58
  So I'm going to go with. You might think?
• 43:02
  I got it. That was off heartbeat City when
• 43:06
  it. Yeah.
• 43:09
  Didn't didn't didn't know. Yeah II and you're right and and
• 43:14
  it was um, I'm going to I'm going to give you the other hit
• 43:20
  here in a second. Would be my pick but yeah it
• 43:23
  came down to do hits. That's the one that I And I
• 43:28
  said, no. Yeah, you know, these These are
• 43:32
  bound to have. They're gonna happen.
• 43:34
  All right Fredo? Yeah, yeah, the other hit magic.
• 43:38
  No, I don't have it either. Wow.
• 43:42
  Really, I thought it took too long to get to the course and
• 43:47
  then also added the hits. I thought it was the most cheesy
• 43:49
  one in there. But you know what's funny is
• 43:54
  that you you didn't have that song.
• 43:58
  And yet when you talk about, you know, the image of Ric, Ric
• 44:03
  Ocasek, you see him walking on water.
• 44:06
  It was in that video. Yeah, I know why not a video,
• 44:10
  you know. So, but there it is.
• 44:12
  There's the first one to end up in the trash even, I'm sure.
• 44:17
  Yeah, even on an agreeable band like this, it's gonna happen.
• 44:20
  All right. So, but that's wow.
• 44:24
  I didn't expect I didn't expect it to happen.
• 44:27
  I didn't expect. It's on but that song.
• 44:29
  Wow there's just there. You know, you hate to be this
• 44:32
  guy but there's just so much. There's yeah.
• 44:35
  Right. No, I agree.
• 44:36
  I took a couple floaters in, you know, you guys, I think we'll
• 44:39
  know which ones when we get to them.
• 44:40
  But yeah. All right.
• 44:44
  Um, let's see. You might think was the one I
• 44:48
  was looking at next. So let me see what else I got
• 44:51
  here. Hmm.
• 44:56
  Hmm. Hmm.
• 45:01
  I want to get off the first record but like I still have
• 45:04
  it's impossible not to, it's okay.
• 45:06
  Yeah. I mean once again, Here's
• 45:14
  another song that I was like, I didn't even realize Moving in
• 45:18
  Stereo. Yes, yes, yes.
• 45:23
  I just fucking love that song. I didn't even realize it, like,
• 45:29
  again, it's one of those ones like.
• 45:30
  Oh yeah, duh. But it's like, you don't feel as
• 45:33
  stupid with it, right? But, you know, I've heard it.
• 45:38
  God knows how many times. Again, another like car song car
• 45:43
  commercial song, you know, and well, this is a song.
• 45:46
  That's exactly what I mean, when I say, you hear it, you know,
• 45:50
  what's a car song? But it's one of those different
• 45:54
  type of car songs. yeah, this is one is the more I'm like
• 45:59
  motivating one almost The big build I getting it for me.
• 46:05
  It's like to me. It's the beginning is more of a
• 46:08
  like Like, I hear it and I'm thinking a foggy Street and a
• 46:16
  little bit of mystery. Yeah, you know, I mean, that's
• 46:20
  the vision I get, which is not a vision, I would get from most
• 46:23
  cars songs, but it's just just, it doesn't come out with a
• 46:30
  punch, like a lot of their songs, do you know, right?
• 46:34
  Like you said, you know, this intro kind of ominous but also
• 46:37
  at the same time you think about that scene from Fast Times.
• 46:43
  All right. Big girl coming out of the out
• 46:45
  of the pool and had a pool. Yeah.
• 46:47
  It was this the song? Yeah, it was okay.
• 46:51
  It's probably where a note from the most that if it if it isn't,
• 46:54
  you know because I haven't seen that moving along time.
• 46:57
  When people sure the fuck said a bit, it should have been number
• 47:00
  one and number two when people have like used that seem like,
• 47:05
  have we done that seen? This is the song they use a
• 47:08
  thousand percent. Oh, yeah.
• 47:10
  Yeah, I think you're right. I think it is the song, all
• 47:13
  search up on that a little bit later, but I think you're right.
• 47:16
  All right, we'll just like that. We're at what 7777 to in the
• 47:22
  convo, back to Randy out of the ten that we've kind of been off
• 47:27
  the board. Okay, I think now is the time to
• 47:30
  take a little bit of a chance, we haven't played anything off,
• 47:32
  Panorama and I think that out of all the album's, that's the one.
• 47:36
  I knew the least there wasn't really like a definitive hit.
• 47:40
  That writer but I liked a lot of it and I spent a lot of time
• 47:43
  with the songs that I really liked because it was really
• 47:45
  hard, I like them all equally. So it was really hard to kind of
• 47:49
  separate from the pack but I wanted to pick a couple of them.
• 47:53
  So I'm gonna go with up and down here.
• 47:59
  No. nope, nope, nope, look, it's not the most popular record, you
• 48:08
  know, It's but, yeah, I mean, we had to kind of Kick It Up.
• 48:15
  Say, did we now? All right, all right, Fredo.
• 48:21
  Okay, I'm gonna go with I love the opening keyboards to this
• 48:30
  song. It's off candy.
• 48:33
  Oh, it's Lust For Kicks, I got it.
• 48:41
  I do not, but there's officially not going to be any dumpster
• 48:46
  diving, take, but play that, if you can't play that beginning,
• 48:55
  The beginning, key to beginning, keyboards are such fun, man.
• 49:02
  This is again, you know I can't I send me mention this.
• 49:05
  You easily could take just the first two records and go here.
• 49:11
  Do this and build out from there.
• 49:14
  Easy sure. And you're not going to miss
• 49:18
  like you come out of those, two records to go.
• 49:21
  This is what the cars are. I get it right, and still leave
• 49:24
  songs on the table. Mmm, yep.
• 49:28
  Yeah. All right, back around to me,
• 49:30
  huh? Oh boy.
• 49:34
  I think Randy's right though, I think Now's the Time to like,
• 49:37
  kind of Kind of see, I'll take some of these ones that kind of
• 49:42
  work. How about Misfit kid?
• 49:46
  Oh, that came close but it did not make it.
• 49:49
  What L? Was that awful?
• 49:51
  Like a panorama. No I did.
• 49:54
  But yes, same thing with the same thing with.
• 49:58
  I came really close. You know, again it's bound to
• 50:08
  happen. Like we're we are ridiculously
• 50:11
  close to done so Now's the Time. Yeah.
• 50:15
  All right. Now we're still got any and all
• 50:17
  of us probably still have close to half our lives.
• 50:18
  Yeah, yeah. Yeah, yeah.
• 50:23
  Boy, I still have a lot of the self-titled and Kandi.
• 50:28
  Oh, and I just want to see like how much we can push the
• 50:32
  unanimous songs. I'm going to With, You're All
• 50:34
  I've Got Tonight. I got it, I got it, don't feel
• 50:43
  great. Oh right.
• 50:45
  It's a to have it. Look, I'd be lying if I didn't
• 50:51
  say that the pumpkins cover up, it, you know, put it on my
• 50:56
  radar, but it's great even know that that happened.
• 50:59
  Oh yeah, on on the airplane, flies High box set.
• 51:07
  I think it's on the 33 years, it 1933.
• 51:10
  There's one of them that is all covers.
• 51:14
  That doesn't matter. Anyway they do a really good
• 51:17
  cover this and finally going and listening to the original I was
• 51:21
  like oh man, like it made me appreciate the cover more and
• 51:24
  appreciate the song as a whole more.
• 51:26
  So this is weird, I can't really see Billy Corgan singing that
• 51:31
  song, but I'll play it on after the fact.
• 51:34
  So you can hear it. No more.
• 51:36
  No more than you can hear. Marilyn Manson doing sweet
• 51:39
  dreams and yet. Yeah, it works, right.
• 51:43
  All right. Adam.
• 51:47
  Let's go to title track off candy.
• 51:49
  Oh, I do have it me too. There it is.
• 51:54
  There it is. It just and again with that with
• 51:58
  that. You know, normally I don't know
• 52:03
  what it is about their keyboards list.
• 52:06
  There's just something about it and in candy, do you know, what
• 52:10
  do you think it? Did you know, it just is
• 52:16
  something about that that that I just fucking love.
• 52:21
  What's funny? We have eight and I think we can
• 52:24
  get at least one more. I am sure we can.
• 52:28
  Yeah. Alright, so we can at least one
• 52:32
  more. This might be the one where we
• 52:35
  finally have to cut ones out. Let's see.
• 52:37
  What am I had? Let's see, one, two, three,
• 52:40
  four, five, six, seven, eight left.
• 52:44
  So I got two left. Whoo, pick up 7.
• 52:52
  Um, Shoot, where do I go? Where do I go?
• 52:57
  Where do I got 99? I'm afraid, I've been avoiding
• 53:06
  this one because this feels like one of the ones that Fredo might
• 53:08
  have left off My Best Friend's Girl.
• 53:11
  I left it off. I did too.
• 53:16
  Yeah, I get it. I mean it's gonna be yeah, it's
• 53:20
  gonna happen if it was on another record.
• 53:23
  I think that it probably had a better chance but it's in
• 53:27
  between two of their top top songs, right?
• 53:31
  Yeah. And like there's nothing,
• 53:34
  there's not a damn thing wrong with it, but it's well, there's
• 53:40
  so much. Look at the songs that are that
• 53:42
  have already made the top 10. This is We got eight of them and
• 53:46
  this is a greatest hits album. Yes, I'm serious.
• 53:50
  We have and, and, and you know what, and they're still songs.
• 53:53
  I know. I still got songs that we
• 53:54
  haven't mentioned, that could be easily in their greatest hits.
• 53:58
  Hmm. Yeah, that includes the and that
• 54:00
  includes the ones with two with two votes.
• 54:04
  Yeah, yeah. Yeah.
• 54:05
  You know, we haven't really gone.
• 54:07
  Deep know. I was getting into, we haven't
• 54:10
  needed to, like, you hate to be that way.
• 54:13
  But like, sometimes, you just need a refresher.
• 54:15
  Binder, and I think the cars are great.
• 54:18
  You know, a great example of that sometimes, you just need a
• 54:21
  reminder. All right, Randy.
• 54:26
  I'm looking at this one and I just loved the way that it
• 54:30
  sounded kind of like a Trippy lullaby.
• 54:34
  Almost. I'm not the one.
• 54:38
  I got it. No I wanted.
• 54:39
  I wanted to do that just because the fucking tidal.
• 54:44
  I'm not the one bitches. I am just one.
• 54:49
  I'm not the one. Get to that point.
• 55:01
  That was too, right? Hmm.
• 55:04
  All right, Fredo. All right.
• 55:06
  Well the way things are going this is I would assume this
• 55:09
  would have at least 2 so it'll be in the discussion.
• 55:11
  But I wouldn't be surprised if this became the ninth one to go
• 55:15
  in an enormously and it's that be.
• 55:17
  And again, so many of The Car Song, catch you right off the
• 55:21
  bat right off the Jump, the minute.
• 55:22
  You put the needle on the record and it's that Since you're gone.
• 55:36
  I got it. No, I don't have it.
• 55:38
  It is. Yeah I just said you know this
• 55:41
  was one that I totally saw going with to but could have been
• 55:47
  three. So All right.
• 55:51
  Ooh boy boys. We are going to have a brutal
• 55:54
  ass conversation here. I'm sure.
• 56:02
  All right, I won't be too brutal because dangerous type is it?
• 56:06
  Yeah, right. Yeah, actually actually no one,
• 56:09
  two, three, four, five. Well, do one more round and then
• 56:16
  dumped out about, we do one more round.
• 56:18
  Take a break. If you want to take a breath
• 56:23
  close. Yeah, you should.
• 56:25
  I know. But so my way to take a break
• 56:28
  until we're at least in the conversation, do you understand?
• 56:32
  Okay, I'll try. But at some point if you hear me
• 56:34
  say I'm going We're gonna. All right.
• 56:38
  So guys will do one round and then then we'll take a quick
• 56:42
  pause. Alright, I'm going to go right
• 56:44
  at the top of my list. This isn't necessarily a fav or
• 56:46
  anything. There's, it's just the next one.
• 56:50
  Bye bye. Love yes.
• 56:52
  No. All right, I think.
• 56:56
  I feel like we have the same was just all right, Randy.
• 57:03
  Cruiser. Let's go.
• 57:12
  Let's go with the don't just stop.
• 57:16
  Well, I guess I don't know. I thought I had that one must
• 57:21
  have been pretty close. I can probably do what we can
• 57:23
  probably do one more round if we're gonna fly through them
• 57:26
  like that. Okay.
• 57:28
  Yeah, right. And then we'll, then we'll take
• 57:31
  a break and then we'll dump out. All right.
• 57:32
  Uh, yeah, same thing. Right at the top.
• 57:34
  My list. No thought, give me some slack.
• 57:38
  Yes. Oh no.
• 57:43
  For pulling for that one more. Do we have another hangout off
• 57:46
  in us? I know we might we might still
• 57:49
  still a chunk out there. All right, Randy.
• 57:54
  I've got a lot of my head. Nope.
• 57:57
  Nope. All right, let's go with.
• 58:04
  It's not the night. I'll fucking City.
• 58:09
  Nope, I would be the one. Yeah, yeah.
• 58:16
  All right. I only have one left shit.
• 58:20
  Oh so let's take a quick call. Yeah, we did not take a pause
• 58:25
  there, you know, I always I do edit.
• 58:31
  But like, I don't, I always leave that.
• 58:35
  So, all right, I'm gonna dump out.
• 58:37
  I've only Three left here. So we only have one shot at a
• 58:41
  unanimous and Randy and I were may have been talking in the
• 58:46
  thing that nobody's going to hear and I don't think we have a
• 58:49
  good shot but you never know. All right, I've got six still.
• 58:53
  So wow, okay crazy, I got down boys.
• 58:59
  Yes, yes, no, you don't suck it right here down boys.
• 59:06
  And in the notes, Love guitar. Our.
• 59:08
  Oh my God. Wow.
• 59:14
  Every night. Yeah, the conversation.
• 59:16
  Just got easy cuz it's some one person.
• 59:22
  Wow. Wow.
• 59:26
  Who would have thought that song?
• 59:30
  Well, I mean I was just I'm like no I got a deep cut.
• 59:32
  There's no way. There's no way we're get.
• 59:34
  I thought that we'd get nothing from panorama on the list.
• 59:37
  Yeah. You know what's funny about this
• 59:41
  idea into my desk, is this guitar reminds me of weenie
• 59:44
  weenie by the Foo Fighters and that's what put it on on the
• 59:47
  radar for me. So I just yeah real quick.
• 59:52
  Yeah. Put that guitar
• 1:00:05
  looks like it's the sound effect.
• 1:00:08
  Kind of like sounds like the ghost from Super Mario Land like
• 1:00:12
  when the ghost would come in. Yeah.
• 1:00:16
  But it's not. Early 90s.
• 1:00:21
  Okay. What did I didn't play video
• 1:00:22
  games? Then it.
• 1:00:24
  All right. Well, hey, I was good.
• 1:00:26
  I was getting laid. Sorry, I was six.
• 1:00:31
  Yeah, exactly. It was fixed here playing video
• 1:00:36
  games. I was getting laid, so I wasn't.
• 1:00:39
  All right. So I've got two left and I'll
• 1:00:41
  see if I can find Fredo here. I've got leave or stay.
• 1:00:45
  No, and I've got door to door. Yes.
• 1:00:50
  Oh well not that it really matters because Randy gets the
• 1:00:53
  final say. So right but we leave her stay.
• 1:00:57
  I didn't take anything from the last album.
• 1:00:59
  Believer State came really close.
• 1:01:03
  All right, just for funsies. You want to dump out, whatever
• 1:01:06
  you got left, right? Oh yeah, I got don't tell me no
• 1:01:10
  off, panorama. I've got a costume out here.
• 1:01:15
  I've got, you are the girl which was a hit from from door to
• 1:01:20
  door. In 87, I got go away from door
• 1:01:27
  to door. and then from and then Shake It Off.
• 1:01:37
  I don't know if this was a a song or if it was two songs but
• 1:01:42
  you had that bleed over from think it over to maybe baby.
• 1:01:48
  Yeah. And I don't know what I would
• 1:01:50
  have counted that as one or two but kind of like eclipsing and
• 1:01:55
  brain damaged by My Pink Floyd at the end of Dark Side of the
• 1:02:00
  Moon, like, I could, I didn't want to separate them same and
• 1:02:06
  that's probably why I didn't I left both of those alone.
• 1:02:09
  But I I know exactly what you're talking about.
• 1:02:11
  Yeah. So and that was my last one.
• 1:02:16
  That's it. Yeah, that's it.
• 1:02:17
  Alright, so let me rearrange this.
• 1:02:20
  So we got nine is our winner. He will have the final say good
• 1:02:26
  call. Good call.
• 1:02:27
  Yeah, yeah. So here's a nine, Kandi.
• 1:02:30
  Oh, dude, this was a net. This is a natural 9.
• 1:02:33
  Yep. Right.
• 1:02:34
  There was no Shenanigans, none at all.
• 1:02:36
  No doing a row for us to good job, guys.
• 1:02:40
  Yeah, we got candy. Oh, dangerous type, let's go.
• 1:02:43
  Hello again, down, boys. Shake it up.
• 1:02:45
  Good Times, Roll. Just what I needed Moving in
• 1:02:48
  Stereo, and just for fun, because you don't have to choose
• 1:02:52
  one of these 10, but I would appreciate it.
• 1:02:54
  Randy, you don't have to. I'm But here's the 10 that are
• 1:02:59
  in the discussion Lust For Kicks door to door drive, it's not the
• 1:03:02
  night. You might think give me some
• 1:03:03
  slack. I'm not the one that since
• 1:03:05
  you're gone. Bye-bye love.
• 1:03:06
  And you're all I've got tonight. All right.
• 1:03:11
  I can go through all these just to, you know, build up some
• 1:03:16
  tension here. I think since you're gone.
• 1:03:20
  Bye-bye, love. Give me some slack.
• 1:03:22
  It's not the night and door-to-door probably out.
• 1:03:27
  Right? Um, I don't know.
• 1:03:29
  Fortunately that I'm not going to pick them.
• 1:03:33
  No, I'm saying what does that leave drive?
• 1:03:35
  You might think less for kicks your honor.
• 1:03:37
  I've Got Tonight. I'm not the one I'm II.
• 1:03:40
  Don't think I'm going to pick Lust For Kicks.
• 1:03:45
  Oh boy. Yeah, you know what?
• 1:03:48
  This is where it sucks. Doesn't it today, only, no,
• 1:03:51
  that's what I was gonna say is I'm so glad that there wasn't to
• 1:03:54
  left that we have to get to make these Cuts.
• 1:03:56
  It's all on him like sweating, you guys I will tell you this.
• 1:04:03
  If it was going to be if it came down to a vote, I was just going
• 1:04:06
  to say you know what, throwing magic and I would have been fine
• 1:04:10
  with it. Well, that's That's only got
• 1:04:13
  one. Yeah.
• 1:04:14
  Oh I thought it had to nope. Now I know.
• 1:04:18
  Well fuck it. Just putting dangerous type.
• 1:04:22
  One more time. Yeah, exactly.
• 1:04:26
  Alright, I think I'm in between two.
• 1:04:29
  I think I'm in between, you might think, which is an obvious
• 1:04:32
  hit, and then I feel like this song had a little bit of run.
• 1:04:36
  I think it was on a greatest hits record but it's just like
• 1:04:40
  the sound is totally the cars but also kind of makes up for
• 1:04:44
  not having drive on the list because I think that you made a
• 1:04:46
  lot of really good points on why not to put drive on the list
• 1:04:50
  Fredo and I think I'm kind of following you on that.
• 1:04:53
  I kind of want to go with. Am not the one.
• 1:04:55
  But I want to play it before. Making that final decision.
• 1:04:59
  All right, let's dig it up here real quick.
• 1:05:05
  Not the one. Oh man.
• 1:05:14
  Now, what's funny is, you're exactly right.
• 1:05:17
  Again, you know, this is your choice, but I will follow your
• 1:05:20
  lead here. This is that same Vibe as drive
• 1:05:25
  but is very much immediately. You know this is the cars right,
• 1:05:30
  right. Damn them.
• 1:05:35
  I mean like you might think is an amazing song, but it is so
• 1:05:41
  obvious to put it in the top 10. There's like eight of those are
• 1:05:45
  pretty obvious. Yeah I wouldn't.
• 1:05:48
  Yeah I'm going to do it. I'm not the one even though I
• 1:05:53
  think that one also was a hit but like throw not on the same
• 1:05:57
  level as you know just what I needed and shake it up.
• 1:06:01
  You can throw stones stone and hit a cars hit.
• 1:06:05
  Right, right, right and and again, a song that you
• 1:06:11
  referenced as iconic in the sense of you think of Ric Ocasek
• 1:06:17
  and you think of this It didn't make the top 10.
• 1:06:25
  All right, we got it. Here's our 10 candy.
• 1:06:28
  Oh, dangerous type, let's go. Hello again, down, boys.
• 1:06:31
  Shake it up. Good Times, Roll.
• 1:06:32
  Just what I needed Moving in. Stereo, I'm not the one.
• 1:06:36
  All right, Randy. Of those 10, which one is the
• 1:06:41
  one. They all are all Define who the
• 1:06:48
  cars are, I'll fight. I'll give you three to fight
• 1:06:53
  for. Number one would be, let's go.
• 1:06:58
  Number two, would be just what I needed.
• 1:07:03
  And number three would be moving in.
• 1:07:05
  Stereo, What do you think? Fredo Well, first of all, he
• 1:07:11
  didn't mention dangerous. Well, I thought about it.
• 1:07:16
  I figured you were going to mention but anyway, yeah, but it
• 1:07:18
  was a whole thing is to, you know, get a consensus.
• 1:07:21
  Um, obviously I would say dangerous type.
• 1:07:27
  However, I also am realistic enough to know at my favorite
• 1:07:33
  car song. Not everyone's favorite car so
• 1:07:37
  though it did hit three people's list.
• 1:07:40
  So right then, all right, but at the end of the day, Fucking song
• 1:07:48
  stuck with me since 1979. It's the first time I heard it
• 1:07:52
  and I could still remember. I remember we're in the room.
• 1:07:55
  I was hearing it. I remember the radio that I was
• 1:07:58
  listening to, I remember the the the cabinet it was on That's
• 1:08:07
  what I needed. You know, this is this is one of
• 1:08:12
  those bands where it's like, do you want to do?
• 1:08:14
  You want to do that? But at the same time, like when
• 1:08:18
  you hear just what I needed, like that's them.
• 1:08:22
  And what else do you need to know?
• 1:08:24
  You hear that? It's like what else you need to
• 1:08:26
  know like I don't see how it's not, just what I needed.
• 1:08:30
  You know what I mean? Like, all clearly, all nine of
• 1:08:33
  the all nine of the other songs are great and to find them But
• 1:08:37
  if you haven't listened to just what I needed in a while, this
• 1:08:40
  is a good chance to do it, but it's also like the perfect
• 1:08:45
  introduction to the band. Yeah, I don't, I see it as I see
• 1:08:51
  it like this. You know, we did the year in
• 1:08:54
  review from 2021 and all the songs that got in 2021 and there
• 1:08:59
  were some songs that were not just iconic for the band but
• 1:09:04
  think of like, London Calling think of like, Range, I think of
• 1:09:08
  what else made that list like stuff that I wouldn't say, we're
• 1:09:13
  bigger than the band but stuff that defined like an error of
• 1:09:18
  music, right? And I think just what I needed
• 1:09:23
  is that it's like, it's it's above all the rest of this in a
• 1:09:29
  way and it's so weird to say, but like just the vibe and you
• 1:09:33
  remember that sound, you remember the sound of the guitar
• 1:09:35
  is going to be any Remember that sound of the Moog and everything
• 1:09:39
  like that it has to be? I think Marie.
• 1:09:43
  Here's here's here's the way I see it.
• 1:09:48
  We're going to talk about the best of this list and leave it
• 1:09:51
  and let it be. We could argue for least five
• 1:09:57
  other songs off of here. Yeah, we're going to talk about
• 1:10:00
  the best of this list and putting a, put it up against the
• 1:10:04
  best of other lists. Make a top 10.
• 1:10:10
  This has to be it. You know other song will no
• 1:10:13
  other song are the cars will be taken as seriously.
• 1:10:21
  We're doing the argument for the top 10, as this one will do you
• 1:10:25
  can be anybody you might not even be into this kind of music.
• 1:10:28
  You can listen to that and just be like, yeah that's undeniable
• 1:10:31
  something. Yeah, undeniable indeed.
• 1:10:36
  I think I think we've made enough If Arguments for it.
• 1:10:38
  I think we've done it. Let's let's do it.
• 1:10:44
  There we go. Just what I needed.
• 1:10:46
  Is our number one. We have candy.
• 1:10:47
  Oh, and let me switch over here. Candy out, dangerous type, let's
• 1:10:50
  go. Hello again, down, boys.
• 1:10:52
  Shake it up. Good Times.
• 1:10:53
  Roll Moving in Stereo and I'm not the one.
• 1:10:57
  Let's let just what I needed to get.
• 1:10:58
  Its moment in the song. Waste, My time.
• 1:11:35
  We've done it with that. Look, if you do a better list
• 1:11:43
  submit it, I am pleased. Like I'm just saying like this.
• 1:11:47
  This is not a fuck yourself. Don't even sit down but I don't
• 1:11:50
  even fucking give them. They get.
• 1:11:52
  No, it can't be done. This is manageable list
• 1:11:54
  contested for the fucking cars. I know right.
