- 3:51SPEAKER_02: And I went back and listened to it, and I'm like, I forgot, you know, because you forget about these songs.
- 3:57SPEAKER_02: And you go back, do research, you listen to them, and you go, Oh my goodness, that was a great song, man.

- 6:32SPEAKER_03: I always told you it was one of my favorite songs.
- 6:35SPEAKER_03: Archie's.
- 6:36SPEAKER_03: Sugar sugar.
- 6:38SPEAKER_02: Yes, yes.
- 6:39SPEAKER_03: 69.
- 6:41SPEAKER_03: I love the Archie song.
- 6:42SPEAKER_03: I love the conversion.
- 6:43SPEAKER_03: It was on cereal boxes, which probably helped it become a number one song.
- 6:47SPEAKER_03: Yeah.
- 6:48SPEAKER_03: And did you know the monkeys were given that song and they said no.
- 6:52SPEAKER_03: No.
- 6:52SPEAKER_03: We do not do silly songs like that.
- 6:56SPEAKER_01: Yeah.
- 6:56unknown: Yeah.
- 6:58SPEAKER_01: We just, yeah, we just have this weird show that uh apes chasing me all over the place.
- 7:03SPEAKER_03: We are better than that.
- 7:04SPEAKER_03: Yeah, yeah.
- 7:06SPEAKER_03: No, you're not.
- 7:08SPEAKER_03: Let's just play the damn song.
- 7:12SPEAKER_02: That was all right.
- 7:14SPEAKER_03: We talked about that one '69.
- 7:15SPEAKER_03: Remember?
- 7:16SPEAKER_03: 69 episode.
- 7:17SPEAKER_03: Yeah.
- 7:18SPEAKER_03: We had song 69.

- 7:25SPEAKER_03: Yes.
- 7:25SPEAKER_03: We won't bore you again with it.
- 7:27SPEAKER_03: But anyway, that's that's a good song.
- 7:30SPEAKER_03: I don't think the Archie's ever did another song after that.
- 7:32SPEAKER_03: They might have released some, but I don't think anything ever.
- 7:34SPEAKER_02: Well, I think the cartoon lives on in the comic books.
- 7:38SPEAKER_02: Yeah.
- 7:38SPEAKER_02: More than the music, I think.
- 7:41SPEAKER_03: And their fake little Yeah, yeah, yeah.
- 7:45SPEAKER_02: Uh so the next one I have is uh it's by the Lemon Pipers.
- 7:51SPEAKER_03: Lemon Pipers.
- 7:54SPEAKER_03: I haven't I don't remember them, but I better know the song.
- 7:57SPEAKER_02: I do not remember the group at all.
- 8:00SPEAKER_03: No.
- 8:00SPEAKER_02: I don't remember anything else they've done.
- 8:04SPEAKER_02: And I would I couldn't even if I heard this song on the radio, I couldn't tell you who did it.
- 8:10SPEAKER_02: I can now.
- 8:11SPEAKER_03: Yeah, because you wrote you know.
- 8:12SPEAKER_03: Because I wrote it down.
- 8:14SPEAKER_02: But I mean, you know, before before I looked all this stuff up, I I couldn't have told you who actually did the song back in the day.
- 8:21SPEAKER_03: Wow.
- 8:22SPEAKER_02: However, I could tell you the song.
- 8:24SPEAKER_03: But it was a remake, though.
- 8:26SPEAKER_03: That's the one I know.
- 8:27SPEAKER_02: Well, there you go.
- 8:28SPEAKER_02: Alright.
- 8:29SPEAKER_02: So this song is Green Tambourine.
- 8:31SPEAKER_02: Yes.
- 8:31SPEAKER_02: Uh by the Lemon Pipers that came out in 1967.
- 8:36SPEAKER_02: And um the only person I could find from that band, or there was a couple that just went on to uh do minor projects, produce, co-write songs, songwriters, that kind of thing, but nothing.
- 8:52SPEAKER_02: Nothing I don't know if I've ever heard of, or you know, they weren't mainstream, well, they weren't a popular band.
- 8:59SPEAKER_02: It was just songwriting, which which actually, if you want to make money is uh and not like travel a lot, that's the gig to have, man, because you know, you get the royalties if you write it.
- 9:13SPEAKER_02: You don't get it.
- 9:14SPEAKER_03: Oh yeah, that's why you want it.
- 9:15SPEAKER_02: That's why you want it.
- 9:16SPEAKER_03: That's why um Song Africa.
- 9:22unknown: Damn.
- 9:23SPEAKER_03: A bunch of session musicians got together Toto and they came up with the group Toto because they wanted money and they were just getting paid whatever,$200,$300.
- 9:34SPEAKER_03: And they were like, we're not gonna we're not gonna make a m living doing this.
- 9:38SPEAKER_03: We need to write our own songs.
- 9:40SPEAKER_02: So they did.
- 9:41SPEAKER_03: And they did.
- 9:41SPEAKER_02: And they're start torn today.
- 9:43SPEAKER_03: Yeah.
- 9:44SPEAKER_02: Yeah.
- 9:44SPEAKER_02: Steve Toto.
- 9:46SPEAKER_02: Heck of a session.
- 9:47SPEAKER_02: They were all great session players, man.
- 9:49SPEAKER_02: Oh yeah.
- 9:50SPEAKER_02: But you know, session players, you get scale.
- 9:52SPEAKER_02: You don't get part of the money that the album brings in.
- 9:55SPEAKER_03: Nope.
- 9:56SPEAKER_02: Or you can actually uh who was it?
- 9:58SPEAKER_02: Was Steve Luthaker?
- 10:00SPEAKER_02: Um well, Nanny Van Halen.
- 10:02SPEAKER_02: They did uh what is it, Beat It?
- 10:04SPEAKER_02: Or uh Beat It?
- 10:06SPEAKER_02: Had the the big solo.
- 10:09SPEAKER_02: What was that song that had the Eddie Van Halen solo in it?
- 10:16SPEAKER_03: You get me stuck.
- 10:17SPEAKER_03: The only thing I know is Beat It by Michael Jackson.
- 10:19SPEAKER_02: Uh anyway.
- 10:20SPEAKER_03: And I believe he did that like free, didn't he?
- 10:22SPEAKER_02: Well, Eddie Van Halen did it free.
- 10:24SPEAKER_03: Yeah.
- 10:25SPEAKER_02: And uh Luther came up with a uh the rhythm part on it.
- 10:30SPEAKER_02: So they basically co-wrote the music.
- 10:34SPEAKER_02: They don't get anything saying, hey, I give credit to these guys, they get nothing, they get scale.
- 10:40SPEAKER_02: So they did that song.
- 10:41SPEAKER_02: I think Luther Luther got scale.
- 10:44SPEAKER_02: I think scale on that that day was made$3.75 an hour or a session or something like that.
- 10:49SPEAKER_02: I mean, it was nothing.
- 10:51SPEAKER_02: So that's why a lot of those guys played on 6,000 hit songs.
- 10:55SPEAKER_03: Yeah.
- 10:56SPEAKER_02: Couldn't afford to borrow it.
- 10:58SPEAKER_03: Yeah.
- 10:58SPEAKER_03: Like the Wrecking Crew, they are on a ton of songs.
- 11:01SPEAKER_02: Yeah, and you but then after they got old, that was it.
- 11:04SPEAKER_02: They didn't made no more money.
- 11:06SPEAKER_03: Who?
- 11:07SPEAKER_02: Glenn Campbell.
- 11:08SPEAKER_02: Oh, yeah.
- 11:09SPEAKER_03: Glenn Campbell on the Wrecking Crew.
- 11:11SPEAKER_03: And he actually used the Wrecking Crew on some of his hits.
- 11:14SPEAKER_02: Yeah.
- 11:15SPEAKER_03: Yeah.
- 11:15SPEAKER_02: So anyhow's.
- 11:17SPEAKER_02: So that that's the uh Green Tambourine by the Lemon Piper.
- 11:21SPEAKER_03: Tambourine made play a song for me.
- 11:23SPEAKER_03: Is that the same thing?
- 11:24SPEAKER_03: That's it.
- 11:24SPEAKER_03: Yeah.
- 11:25SPEAKER_03: Alright, next one I got.
- 11:27SPEAKER_03: I loved it.
- 11:28SPEAKER_03: I played it.
- 11:28SPEAKER_03: I sang it.
- 11:30SPEAKER_03: And whenever we went into like uh a dance club or a bar or whatever, and they played this, I would just belt it out and make people around me so mad.
- 11:40SPEAKER_03: But anyway, it's Dexies Midnight Runners.
- 11:47SPEAKER_03: Come on, Eileen.
- 11:49SPEAKER_03: Remember that saying?
- 11:51SPEAKER_02: When they were dressed, they had the two songs.
- 11:53SPEAKER_03: Well, they had the bibs and overalls, and they looked like hicks.
- 11:57SPEAKER_02: Yeah, and they had the uh fiddle player and that's a great song.
- 12:02SPEAKER_02: It's actually have you ever heard have you listened to their albums at all?
- 12:05SPEAKER_03: That's the only song I know.
- 12:07SPEAKER_02: You gotta go listen to them.
- 12:08SPEAKER_03: And I know later on down the line they put suits and ties on and tried to change change their name.
- 12:14SPEAKER_03: Oh, that I didn't know.
- 12:14SPEAKER_03: That wouldn't work.
- 12:15SPEAKER_03: Yeah, it didn't work.
- 12:16SPEAKER_03: It didn't work.
- 12:17SPEAKER_03: But anyway, uh Come On Eileen was one of the biggest selling hit one-hit wonders of all time.
- 12:23SPEAKER_02: I believe it.
- 12:24SPEAKER_02: Absolutely, because that's what I saw it same as you.
- 12:26SPEAKER_02: Yeah, it was gonna be a good thing.
- 12:30SPEAKER_02: That was a great song I'll bring up too that I forgot about.
- 12:33SPEAKER_02: That I'm not sure it's on your list or not, but I'm gonna bring it up and steal it from me if it is.
- 12:37SPEAKER_03: Okay.
- 12:37SPEAKER_03: But this was like 82.
- 12:39SPEAKER_03: Okay.
- 12:40SPEAKER_03: And then do you also know a big huge hit like that, and the singer, Roland, in the 90s ended up broke and homeless.
- 12:52SPEAKER_03: See, that's everybody thinks, oh, they got a big hit, they're set for life.
- 12:56SPEAKER_03: Not always, man.
- 12:57SPEAKER_03: Financial situations, managers stealing your money, mismanagement.
- 13:02SPEAKER_03: Pretty soon you don't have a dime.
- 13:04SPEAKER_02: Yeah, that's terrible.
- 13:06SPEAKER_03: It is terrible.
- 13:07SPEAKER_02: Absolutely terrible.
- 13:09SPEAKER_03: That's a great song.
- 13:10SPEAKER_02: Oh, I absolutely still today.
- 13:13SPEAKER_02: It is, yeah.
- 13:14SPEAKER_02: That thing comes on, ma'am.
- 13:16SPEAKER_03: Oh, yeah, you're dancing.
- 13:17SPEAKER_02: You're dancing.
- 13:17SPEAKER_03: Even though you can't dance, you're dancing.
- 13:20unknown: Yeah.
- 13:23SPEAKER_02: So having said that, I'll bring up the song that I forgot about.
- 13:27SPEAKER_02: I'm not sure it's on your list.
- 13:29SPEAKER_02: Is it on your list?
- 13:31SPEAKER_02: Nope.
- 13:31SPEAKER_02: Okay.
- 13:32SPEAKER_02: Not on my list.
- 13:32SPEAKER_02: So I'll do it because I you know I don't like stealing, because you know, a lot of work goes into this.
- 13:36SPEAKER_02: Anyway, so the other song I thought about, as soon as you said that, and it was not on my list until like 10 seconds ago, was the safety dance.
- 13:45SPEAKER_03: Oh, safety dance.
- 13:47SPEAKER_03: Safety.
- 13:49SPEAKER_02: And he did that super dance.
- 13:51SPEAKER_02: Yeah.
- 13:52SPEAKER_02: And that was uh Men Without Hats, and that song came out in '82.
- 13:55SPEAKER_02: Yeah.
- 13:55SPEAKER_02: Now, since I I don't have any kind of uh trivia thing about that since I, you know, just love it.
- 14:01SPEAKER_02: I just yeah, but I just love that song, man.
- 14:03SPEAKER_03: You always wonder where they get their names.
- 14:05SPEAKER_03: Men without hats.
- 14:07SPEAKER_02: And he wears a hat.
- 14:08SPEAKER_02: Did he wear a hat?
- 14:09SPEAKER_02: I don't know.
- 14:10SPEAKER_02: I'm trying to remember if he wore a hat in the video or not.
- 14:12SPEAKER_02: Well, because in the video he was like a Pipe Piper guy going through the window.
- 14:17SPEAKER_02: Yeah.
- 14:17SPEAKER_02: Didn't he have like a flute or something?
- 14:19SPEAKER_02: I think he did.
- 14:20SPEAKER_02: Crazy 80s.
- 14:21SPEAKER_02: Safety hats.
- 14:22SPEAKER_02: Crazy 80s.
- 14:23SPEAKER_03: I love that decade.

- 14:34SPEAKER_03: No, we're all cold.
- 14:35SPEAKER_03: It is.
- 14:35SPEAKER_03: So we all wear hats now.
- 14:37SPEAKER_03: It's winter time, so now we're the men with hats.
- 14:41SPEAKER_03: Alright, I got the proclaimers.
- 14:44SPEAKER_03: Remember that song?
- 14:46SPEAKER_03: I'm gonna be 500.
- 14:49SPEAKER_03: Oh yeah.
- 14:51SPEAKER_02: Yeah.
- 14:51SPEAKER_03: Yeah.
- 14:52SPEAKER_03: Yeah.
- 14:53SPEAKER_03: They're a Scottishpan.
- 14:55SPEAKER_03: So they talk a lot that.
- 15:00SPEAKER_03: Or about as good as I can talk.
- 15:02SPEAKER_03: Two brothers, Craig and Charles.
- 15:04SPEAKER_03: Do you remember that video?
- 15:05SPEAKER_01: Scottish people.
- 15:08SPEAKER_03: Yeah.
- 15:09SPEAKER_03: We do not represent Scottish people at all.
- 15:12SPEAKER_01: Yeah.
- 15:12SPEAKER_01: Yeah.
- 15:14SPEAKER_03: And an interesting fact about that one, Mr.
- 15:17SPEAKER_03: Douglas, because I know you're interested.
- 15:19SPEAKER_03: I am.
- 15:20SPEAKER_03: It uh was originally released in 1988 and came up the UK, it wasn't went up to number 11, but in the US, it really didn't take stride till the movie Benny and Joan came out in 1993.
- 15:36SPEAKER_02: There you go.
- 15:36SPEAKER_02: Because I thought that song came out in like the mid-90s.
- 15:39SPEAKER_03: Yeah.
- 15:40SPEAKER_03: Okay.
- 15:40SPEAKER_03: And then it took off in the US after that.
- 15:42SPEAKER_02: Okay.
- 15:43SPEAKER_02: That makes sense.
- 15:44SPEAKER_03: Yeah.
- 15:44SPEAKER_02: And do you know, having said that, uh-huh, there they were touring.
- 15:50SPEAKER_02: I saw a YouTube thing.
- 15:51SPEAKER_02: You know how YouTube they record concerts, you can watch concerts on YouTube.
- 15:55SPEAKER_02: Oh, yes.
- 15:56SPEAKER_02: Right?
- 15:56SPEAKER_02: They were at some kind of music fest in Ireland.
- 16:01SPEAKER_03: No, Scottish.
- 16:02SPEAKER_02: Or Scotland.
- 16:03SPEAKER_02: Yeah.
- 16:03SPEAKER_02: Sorry.
- 16:04SPEAKER_03: Still apologize to the Scottish people out there.
- 16:06SPEAKER_02: Uh in Scotland.
- 16:08SPEAKER_02: But they were playing that song and they did a whole set.
- 16:11SPEAKER_03: Really?
- 16:12SPEAKER_02: So I'm like, man, they're.
- 16:13SPEAKER_03: How old are they now?
- 16:14SPEAKER_03: They gotta be.
- 16:15SPEAKER_02: They look well, they're probably our age.
- 16:19SPEAKER_03: They still sound good.
- 16:20SPEAKER_02: 89.
- 16:21SPEAKER_02: Yeah.
- 16:22SPEAKER_02: Yeah.
- 16:22SPEAKER_02: Yeah, they do.
- 16:24SPEAKER_02: Now I'm doing Swedish.
- 16:25SPEAKER_02: Oh my goodness gracious.
- 16:27SPEAKER_02: Yeah, that they were uh they it sounded good.
- 16:30SPEAKER_02: And they they actually did that song in that set.
- 16:32SPEAKER_03: Well, they have to.
- 16:33SPEAKER_03: That's really their own big song.
- 16:35SPEAKER_02: I I I truthfully I didn't recognize any other songs that they did that they were, but yeah, they were good.
- 16:40SPEAKER_02: They played good.
- 16:41SPEAKER_03: I still I still enjoy that song.
- 16:43SPEAKER_02: Still enjoyed it.
- 16:44SPEAKER_02: They were all around that Celtic um yeah, kind of style.
- 16:49SPEAKER_02: So there you go.
- 16:50SPEAKER_03: All right.
- 16:51SPEAKER_03: Nice interesting facts there, Douglas.
- 16:53SPEAKER_02: Yeah, just around the top of my head.
- 16:54SPEAKER_02: I don't know if it's true or not, but it's it's it sounds good, don't you?
- 16:57SPEAKER_03: We do not claim that any of this stuff we say is true.
- 16:59SPEAKER_03: Um entertainment purpose, only not educational.
- 17:04SPEAKER_02: Our um uh opinions.
- 17:06SPEAKER_02: Opinions, yes, uh, yeah, very much.
- 17:08SPEAKER_02: So the next song I have, and this'll this all uh this is weird.
- 17:13SPEAKER_02: Well, it's not weird, but it's the song Venus.
- 17:16SPEAKER_03: Venus, if you know not that one.
- 17:18SPEAKER_02: No, well, Venus is the song.
- 17:20SPEAKER_02: If you remember back in the 80s, Banana Rama did it.
- 17:24SPEAKER_02: There were three girls.
- 17:26SPEAKER_02: Yes, you know, if I seen anymore, we'll get charged for it.
- 17:30SPEAKER_02: But uh yeah, that one.
- 17:31SPEAKER_02: Yeah.
- 17:32SPEAKER_02: And I thought they did it.
- 17:34SPEAKER_02: Because it it was like a Venus woman.
- 17:36SPEAKER_02: I'm like, oh, I wonder if they you know they actually wrote that or somebody wrote it for them.
- 17:41SPEAKER_02: No, I was incorrect this whole time.
- 17:45SPEAKER_03: Dang, Douglas.
- 17:47SPEAKER_02: Why I couldn't sleep last night.
- 17:50SPEAKER_02: Uh just kept going over and over in my head.
- 17:54SPEAKER_02: So the song came out in uh 1969.
- 17:57SPEAKER_02: Imagine that, and by a band called Shocking Blue, who I've never heard of either.
- 18:04SPEAKER_03: Was it Banana Rama?
- 18:06SPEAKER_03: People even born in 69?
- 18:08SPEAKER_02: Uh they well, they came out in the 80s, so they would have been yeah, they had to probably be in 10.
- 18:14SPEAKER_02: Not very old then.
- 18:15SPEAKER_02: Not very old.
- 18:16SPEAKER_02: But I don't think they were very old back in the 80s.
- 18:18SPEAKER_02: I don't know.
- 18:20SPEAKER_02: I you know what would be your opinion?
- 18:23SPEAKER_03: I don't remember a lot of that.
- 18:24SPEAKER_03: I say they're I say they're in their 20s.
- 18:27SPEAKER_02: Never mind.
- 18:28SPEAKER_02: I don't even want to go into that.
- 18:29SPEAKER_02: My kids may be listening.
- 18:30SPEAKER_03: Yeah.
- 18:32SPEAKER_03: They turned you off a long time ago, don't they?
- 18:34SPEAKER_02: Yes.
- 18:34SPEAKER_02: Anyway, that was 69 by Shocking Blue.
- 18:37SPEAKER_02: Um there was a person um that left the band, Robbie Van Lewen, who uh left the shocking blue to form Jupiter.
- 18:50SPEAKER_02: That's a I never heard of that band either.
- 18:53SPEAKER_02: And I, you know, eventually I'm gonna look all this stuff up, so I'll have those little tidbits and follow-ups.
- 18:59SPEAKER_02: But, you know, that could we just add that later?
- 19:02SPEAKER_03: Yeah.
- 19:02SPEAKER_02: So I didn't talk about that.
- 19:03SPEAKER_02: That uh yeah, that was Shocking Blue.
- 19:05SPEAKER_02: Uh came out with Venus in 1969.
- 19:08SPEAKER_03: Wow, I like it.
- 19:09SPEAKER_02: Yeah, I do like that song.
- 19:11SPEAKER_02: And I went back and looked and I'm like, so did he turn that into like a man?
- 19:19SPEAKER_02: And I'm trying to I I did I wanted to listen to the Baron Banana Rama version to see if that was more like talking from a woman's standpoint.
- 19:29SPEAKER_03: Or that was just exactly the same thing.
- 19:31SPEAKER_02: Exactly like, and I I didn't get a chance to do that.
- 19:34SPEAKER_02: Football was on, I think.
- 19:35SPEAKER_02: Yeah, yeah.
- 19:37SPEAKER_02: So anyway, that uh that's uh that's everything I got for the uh 60s.
- 19:43SPEAKER_03: Okay.
- 19:44SPEAKER_03: Well, I got a 70s here.
- 19:46SPEAKER_03: This is a great song, and they play it like all the time you go to weddings, you go anywhere, they're gonna play this song.
- 19:52SPEAKER_03: It's play that funky music, white boy.
- 19:56SPEAKER_03: By Wild Cherry.
- 19:58SPEAKER_02: I love that song.
- 20:00SPEAKER_03: Yeah.
- 20:00SPEAKER_02: Do you know it wasn't Wild Cherry from Ohio?
- 20:03SPEAKER_03: It seems there is Ohio connection there.
- 20:06SPEAKER_03: Oh, you're right.
- 20:09SPEAKER_03: They um it was a hard, it was all white, hard rock band, right?
- 20:14SPEAKER_03: And they were from like um junction up north somewhere?
- 20:20SPEAKER_03: Yeah, up some north in Ohio, and some of them for Pennsylvania.
- 20:23SPEAKER_02: Yeah, yeah.
- 20:24SPEAKER_03: So there's another Ohio connection there.
- 20:26SPEAKER_03: And it was like in oh, what was it?
- 20:29SPEAKER_03: They came out in 76, but I think it was like 75, and they're playing the hard rock, you know, the rock scene, and they're playing the rock songs, but everybody wanted to play disco.
- 20:37SPEAKER_03: That was big disco time.
- 20:39SPEAKER_03: Yeah.
- 20:40SPEAKER_03: And uh they were trying to get gigs, and a lot of times, you know, they wouldn't hire them because they wanted dance music.
- 20:46SPEAKER_03: Right.
- 20:46SPEAKER_03: And he said uh one of the uh patrons came up to him like in between the set and said, Hey man, you white boys gonna play any any funky music?
- 20:57SPEAKER_03: And the guy just immediately wrote it down, wrote that down, and after the gig was over, he started writing this song.
- 21:05SPEAKER_03: Play that funky music, white boy.
- 21:08SPEAKER_02: That's something.
- 21:09SPEAKER_03: Yeah.
- 21:09SPEAKER_02: That's something, man.
- 21:13SPEAKER_03: It's to imitate life.
- 21:15SPEAKER_02: It does.
- 21:16SPEAKER_02: It's really weird.
- 21:17SPEAKER_02: Uh let's see.
- 21:18SPEAKER_02: So the next one I got is from the 70s as well.
- 21:23SPEAKER_02: This came out in 1970.
- 21:25SPEAKER_02: Uh it's from a band called The IDs of March and song Vehicle.
- 21:31SPEAKER_03: It's IDS of March.
- 21:33SPEAKER_03: Sounds familiar.
- 21:34SPEAKER_02: You would uh if I played this song for you, you would know automatically uh what this song is.
- 21:46SPEAKER_03: Okay.
- 21:47SPEAKER_03: Alright.
- 21:48SPEAKER_03: You got any words you can just tell me?
- 21:50SPEAKER_03: Um right now I'm no I don't remember this song.
- 21:53SPEAKER_02: Hang on, hang on.
- 21:54SPEAKER_02: That's uh I don't want to leave you in the works.
- 21:56SPEAKER_02: No.
- 21:57SPEAKER_02: I know you're gonna do it.
- 21:57SPEAKER_02: Then I won't sleep tonight.
- 21:59SPEAKER_02: Um Let's see here.
- 22:02SPEAKER_02: You want to go on to your next one?
- 22:03SPEAKER_02: I'll find out.
- 22:04SPEAKER_02: Sure.
- 22:07SPEAKER_03: Let's do In a Gata de Vita by Iron Butterfly.
- 22:14SPEAKER_03: That was their only song.
- 22:15SPEAKER_03: Really, really only big song.
- 22:17SPEAKER_03: And it got up to like number 30, I think, in the charts.
- 22:21SPEAKER_03: Um and it was basically, I think we went over one other time, but the guy wrote it, it was supposed to be in a garden of the Vita.
- 22:31SPEAKER_03: But they were kind of drinking, and the the Oh, I heard that I haven't heard that.
- 22:37SPEAKER_03: Um anyway.
- 22:38SPEAKER_03: You recognize it?
- 22:38SPEAKER_03: I do.
- 22:39SPEAKER_03: Okay, that's it.
- 22:40SPEAKER_03: Okay.
- 22:41SPEAKER_03: Now where was I?
- 22:43SPEAKER_03: Oh, it was in In a Garden of Vita, but they were drinking.
- 22:46SPEAKER_03: The guy misheard the words and just said, In a gata de Vita.
- 22:50SPEAKER_03: And he sang it that way, and they just loved it.
- 22:52SPEAKER_03: And they said, Man, yeah, that's even better than what I wrote down.
- 22:55SPEAKER_03: It's weird how that uh it's like 17 minutes long, came out in 68.
- 22:59SPEAKER_02: Didn't have a drum, big drum solo in there, too.
- 23:01SPEAKER_03: And well, it just kept getting bigger and bigger and bigger as they went on with instrumentals and solos.
- 23:07SPEAKER_02: That was just DJ's best friend, right there.
- 23:10SPEAKER_02: Put that on go to the back.
- 23:11SPEAKER_03: Seven that's like one whole side of the record.
- 23:12SPEAKER_02: That's incredible.
- 23:13SPEAKER_02: I'm surprised the radio actually played it back in the day.
- 23:16SPEAKER_02: But that was when FM came out.
- 23:18SPEAKER_03: But they probably cut it down.
- 23:19SPEAKER_03: I'm sure they did.
- 23:20SPEAKER_03: Cut it down.
- 23:21SPEAKER_02: But yeah, when FM came out and became more of an album center uh rock stuff instead of a three-minute song.
- 23:30SPEAKER_03: So that was kind of cool.
- 23:32SPEAKER_03: Yep.
- 23:33SPEAKER_03: And the bad thing about it is they ended up broken up later because it's the same old story.
- 23:39SPEAKER_03: Financial issues and mismanagement, IRS troubles, and the band broke up.
- 23:45SPEAKER_02: It seems like it's always uh but you know, it always comes out that it was uh um uh musical.
- 23:56SPEAKER_03: You know, yeah musical direction kind of four million copies of that.
- 24:00SPEAKER_02: Did they really?
- 24:02SPEAKER_03: Basically four million dollars copies of the album because the album is basically one song.
- 24:06SPEAKER_00: One song, yeah.
- 24:09SPEAKER_03: And there's it can't tour because there's no surviving members of the band left.
- 24:13SPEAKER_03: They're all gone.
- 24:15SPEAKER_02: Well, that doesn't stop a lot of people.
- 24:16SPEAKER_02: Yeah.
- 24:18SPEAKER_03: They pretend like they are.
- 24:20SPEAKER_03: And uh while we were searching, I found an interesting fact about him.
- 24:24SPEAKER_03: The bass player, which is um he ended up missing, and they couldn't find him.
- 24:33SPEAKER_03: And uh eventually they found him, and his car was at the bottom of a canyon.
- 24:38SPEAKER_03: He crashed his car over a canyon and died.
- 24:40SPEAKER_02: How long was he there that they didn't find him?
- 24:42SPEAKER_02: You know?
- 24:43SPEAKER_03: I don't know.
- 24:44SPEAKER_03: Wow, it was a while.
- 24:46SPEAKER_02: That's sad.
- 24:47SPEAKER_03: Yeah.
- 24:49SPEAKER_03: So rock and roll is not all glamour and glitch, man.
- 24:52SPEAKER_03: It's a little sometimes it goes down a very ugly path.
- 24:56SPEAKER_02: A lot of people live the dream, but it's not, it's a nightmare.
- 24:59SPEAKER_02: Yeah.
- 24:59SPEAKER_02: It's not a it's not like great.
- 25:01SPEAKER_03: It's not always great.
- 25:01SPEAKER_03: And I'm glad I brought you down, Doug.
- 25:03SPEAKER_02: You did.
- 25:04SPEAKER_02: Now uh back to me.
- 25:07SPEAKER_02: Yeah.
- 25:07SPEAKER_03: Can you bring us back up?
- 25:08SPEAKER_02: Woo! So it's a march, and this will this will pump you up a little bit.
- 25:12SPEAKER_02: This is uh that's the song vehicle.
- 25:14SPEAKER_03: Yep.
- 25:14SPEAKER_02: Like I said, it came out in 70.
- 25:16SPEAKER_02: Now a lot of horns.
- 25:18SPEAKER_02: It you would re remember it as soon as you hear you knew that song, boom.
- 25:21SPEAKER_02: Yeah, great song.
- 25:22SPEAKER_02: Absolutely great song.
- 25:24SPEAKER_02: And I listened to other stuff, and it's fantastic.
- 25:26SPEAKER_02: So if you ever wanted to go back in time.
- 25:28SPEAKER_03: The eyes of March.
- 25:29SPEAKER_02: The IDS of March.
- 25:30SPEAKER_02: IDs of March.
- 25:32SPEAKER_02: I think it's IDS.
- 25:33SPEAKER_02: IDS.
- 25:33SPEAKER_02: Yeah.
- 25:33SPEAKER_03: Yeah, it'd be IDS.
- 25:34SPEAKER_02: And uh, any who's in but the notable thing here is that uh Jim Petterick, uh-huh, who's the lead vocalist and guitar player that code found uh co-founded the famous arena rock band.
- 25:48SPEAKER_02: You sitting down?
- 25:50SPEAKER_02: I'm in shock.
- 25:51SPEAKER_02: I did not know this either.
- 25:53SPEAKER_02: Survivor, ladies and gentlemen.
- 25:56SPEAKER_02: And he wrote a Yep, give him a hand.
- 25:59SPEAKER_02: Yes.
- 26:00SPEAKER_02: Because back in the day, they were pretty big.
- 26:03SPEAKER_03: They were huge.
- 26:04SPEAKER_02: And uh he actually co-wrote uh Eye of the Tiger.
- 26:08SPEAKER_03: Eye of the Tiger.
- 26:10SPEAKER_03: Eye of the Tiger and who do you know the story about that?
- 26:13SPEAKER_03: Eye of the Tiger.
- 26:14SPEAKER_02: Yeah, it ended up in a Rocky movie.
- 26:17SPEAKER_03: Right, and it was only in the Rocky movie because he couldn't get uh he couldn't get the rights to another song.
- 26:24SPEAKER_03: What was oh my gosh.
- 26:26SPEAKER_02: That I don't know, but I think didn't the Sylvester Stallone kind of saw this band?
- 26:32SPEAKER_02: Because I think they were at they were uh out of Chicago when he saw them.
- 26:36SPEAKER_03: Yeah.
- 26:36SPEAKER_03: And he said, I want a song like this.
- 26:39SPEAKER_02: Yeah, and they wrote it.
- 26:40SPEAKER_03: And then he gave them the tape, and that and the whole idea was they did that dun, dun, dun, dun.
- 26:48SPEAKER_03: Oh, can we do that?
- 26:49SPEAKER_03: I don't know, but we did.
- 26:50SPEAKER_03: We did.
- 26:50SPEAKER_03: Yeah.
- 26:51SPEAKER_03: But that was based on the Rocky working out, yeah.
- 26:54SPEAKER_03: And that's where they came up with all that stuff.
- 26:57SPEAKER_02: That song by that that movie just pumped that song, boy.
- 27:01SPEAKER_03: Oh, yeah.
- 27:01SPEAKER_02: That was incredible.
- 27:02SPEAKER_03: It was.
- 27:03SPEAKER_02: Anyway, that was uh V.
- 27:04SPEAKER_03: Wasn't he also the guy behind those Budweiser commercials, you know.
- 27:08SPEAKER_03: Uh Stallone?
- 27:10SPEAKER_03: No, no.
- 27:11SPEAKER_03: The guy of the tiger.
- 27:12SPEAKER_02: The eye of the tiger.
- 27:14SPEAKER_02: I don't know.
- 27:15SPEAKER_03: The where it had the voice, you know.
- 27:17SPEAKER_02: Oh, the the the uh the the Bud Light guy voice.
- 27:21SPEAKER_03: Yeah, where he had um oh gosh.
- 27:24SPEAKER_03: Uh I wish my memory was good.
- 27:27SPEAKER_02: I don't know.
- 27:29SPEAKER_03: I think it is, but maybe you can look it up and enlighten us later.
- 27:34SPEAKER_03: Do you want to enlighten us at all?
- 27:36SPEAKER_02: No.
- 27:38SPEAKER_02: If I think about it, I'll look it up and maybe we'll we'll do it for the next uh mux section.
- 27:42SPEAKER_02: Okay.
- 27:42SPEAKER_02: I'm taking notes.
- 27:43SPEAKER_02: Okay, take notes.
- 27:44SPEAKER_02: I'm taking notes.
- 27:46SPEAKER_03: All right.
- 27:47SPEAKER_03: Um I've got In the Big Country by Big Country.
- 27:51SPEAKER_03: Remember that song?
- 27:52SPEAKER_03: Back in 83?
- 27:54SPEAKER_03: That also was mine, but I I didn't uh it's kind of has the same kind of feel to it as the uh proclaimers um I'm gonna be 5,000 500 miles.
- 28:06SPEAKER_03: It kind of has that it's a Scottish band.
- 28:09SPEAKER_02: Yeah.
- 28:10SPEAKER_03: Um they raised it in '83.
- 28:12SPEAKER_03: Um, and did you know that those aren't bagpipes they're playing on there?
- 28:18SPEAKER_03: They have ex these like special devices, they call them ebo's, and they play them on their guitar, so it sounds like it's kind of a bagpipe feel, but it's not.
- 28:28SPEAKER_03: It's actually just guitars.
- 28:31SPEAKER_03: Do you remember the thing?
- 28:32SPEAKER_03: Uh country.
- 28:34SPEAKER_03: I'll have to go back and listen.
- 28:35SPEAKER_03: Yeah, listen to it.
- 28:36SPEAKER_03: Well, listen to it.
- 28:37SPEAKER_03: And if you hear it and you go, I don't know, those no, they're not bagpipes.
- 28:41SPEAKER_03: It's a little little trickeration trick or something.
- 28:46SPEAKER_03: Yeah.
- 28:47SPEAKER_03: And it it was used in a Peter Rabbit movie, by the way.
- 28:50SPEAKER_03: Do you remember the Peter Rabbit movie?
- 28:51SPEAKER_02: I yeah, I saw I don't know why.
- 28:54SPEAKER_02: I was looking at something that had uh it was like uh movies of the eighties, I think.
- 28:59SPEAKER_00: Mm-hmm.

- 29:21SPEAKER_01: Yeah.
- 29:21SPEAKER_03: It was I think it was the beginning of a CG or a C yeah, CG where they had the like the cartoon fake band bunny and then the rest of people were real.
- 29:30SPEAKER_02: Yeah, which was actually pretty cool back in the day.
- 29:33SPEAKER_02: Because you know, that's not many movies came out like that.
- 29:36SPEAKER_02: So um now they're everywhere.

- 29:50SPEAKER_02: I I don't know.
- 29:51SPEAKER_03: I think we're in the matrix.

- 29:55SPEAKER_02: What who was that guy said, you know, we're all part of uh or the whole earth is in a cell, and that cells on a fingernail of a giant.
- 30:06SPEAKER_00: Ooh.
- 30:08SPEAKER_03: Because we're all in if you think about space, that just kind of it's huge.
- 30:14SPEAKER_03: It blows your mind when you think I don't you know.
- 30:16SPEAKER_03: Where's it end?
- 30:17SPEAKER_03: Does it end, never ends, just keep going forever.
- 30:22SPEAKER_02: That stuff blows my mind.
- 30:24SPEAKER_02: I'm like, how do how can you find I'm not that smart, especially when it comes to physics and astrophysics?
- 30:30SPEAKER_02: I I I just I'm looking at it, I'm like, how do you know that?

- 30:45SPEAKER_02: How do you know that?
- 30:47SPEAKER_02: What do you see that for?

- 31:20SPEAKER_02: Okay.
- 31:21SPEAKER_02: So the oh man.
- 31:24SPEAKER_02: So the next song I got is uh, and I think this has been on commercials, it's been theme songs to shows, it's it's been everywhere.
- 31:35SPEAKER_02: Came out in 1973 by the band Steelers Wheel.
- 31:44SPEAKER_02: Steelers Wheel.

- 32:08SPEAKER_02: I remember Baker Street in my head.
- 32:09SPEAKER_02: I'll have to go back to it.
- 32:10SPEAKER_02: Because I think I'm getting him confused with another guy that I can't remember his name, but it was.
- 32:16SPEAKER_03: That album with Baker Street was on, I actually won it from a radio station.
- 32:21SPEAKER_03: Really?
- 32:21SPEAKER_03: I called in and answered some question and I won it.
- 32:25SPEAKER_03: Won that record.

- 32:44SPEAKER_03: I don't really listen too much to actual radio anymore.
- 32:46SPEAKER_03: I'm always on Serious XM.

- 32:55SPEAKER_03: It's a great form of entertainment.
- 32:57SPEAKER_02: It's absolutely fantastic.
- 32:58SPEAKER_02: Uh so anyway, that's not with you.
- 33:01SPEAKER_02: The other co-founder, uh Joe Egan had a solo career, but I I I haven't really found anything on that one.
- 33:11SPEAKER_03: Joe Egan.
- 33:12SPEAKER_03: I don't remember that name.
- 33:12SPEAKER_03: Yeah, I don't either.
- 33:13SPEAKER_02: So anyway.
- 33:15SPEAKER_02: Yeah.

- 33:24SPEAKER_03: Yes.
- 33:24SPEAKER_03: That was huge.
- 33:25SPEAKER_03: Remember the uh what was uh the guy did the funny uh Weird Al did the uh what what's it what was it called?
- 33:32SPEAKER_03: My Bologna.
- 33:34SPEAKER_03: My Bologna, he did a little take on it.
- 33:36SPEAKER_03: I don't think they liked it though, did they?
- 33:38SPEAKER_03: I don't think they were like too thrilled with his version of My Bologna.
- 33:41SPEAKER_02: However, I think he got permission.
- 33:44SPEAKER_03: I think you have to get permission.
- 33:46SPEAKER_02: You gotta get money from the person that originally wrote the song.
- 33:49SPEAKER_02: He had to get the rights to the song, and then I'm thinking he he I don't know if he got permission or he told them about it or something.
- 33:59SPEAKER_03: I don't know if you have to get permission, do you?
- 34:02SPEAKER_03: Or if you just pay them as long as you pay them on the content.
- 34:05SPEAKER_03: As long as you pay them money.
- 34:06SPEAKER_03: But anyway, interesting fact.
- 34:07SPEAKER_02: Well, no, you you get permit, you get sued.
- 34:09SPEAKER_03: I'm gonna tell you a tidbit.
- 34:11SPEAKER_02: Uh-oh.
- 34:12SPEAKER_03: Uh-oh.
- 34:14SPEAKER_03: He wrote it when he was obsessing over a 17-year-old girl.
- 34:19SPEAKER_03: That was the her name, Sharon.
- 34:21SPEAKER_02: Is that weird now?
- 34:22SPEAKER_03: No, no, no.
- 34:23SPEAKER_03: We're back to my back to the neck.
- 34:25SPEAKER_00: Okay.
- 34:26SPEAKER_03: Back to the neck.
- 34:27SPEAKER_03: Man, come on, keep up with me on this topic.
- 34:29SPEAKER_03: Anyway, it was a 17-year-old girl, and he actually dated her for like four years.
- 34:33SPEAKER_03: He finally pursued her for years.
- 34:35SPEAKER_03: And then finally they dated for like four years and then broke up.
- 34:39SPEAKER_03: And uh, she moved on, he moved on.
- 34:42SPEAKER_03: And uh, this is kind of cool.
- 34:44SPEAKER_03: Her name's Sharona, right?
- 34:45SPEAKER_03: Yeah, she's a real estate agent out in California, and her website is called mysharona.com.

- 35:59SPEAKER_03: MTV.

- 36:22SPEAKER_02: Yeah.
- 36:23SPEAKER_02: And uh there was a couple members of that band that uh Trevor Horn, the bassist vocalist, and Jeff Downs, who played keyboards, both joined uh the uh progressive band Yes.
- 36:38SPEAKER_02: Wow from the line from Jeff, yeah.
- 36:42SPEAKER_02: That's it.
- 36:43SPEAKER_02: Yeah, in 1980.

- 36:54SPEAKER_02: Supergroups, yeah.
- 36:56SPEAKER_02: Um he actually co-founded Asia and brought a couple of the I think the guitars from yes.
- 37:04SPEAKER_03: So he was in the buggles?
- 37:06SPEAKER_02: He was in the bungles and Asia in Asia.
- 37:10SPEAKER_03: What?
- 37:12SPEAKER_03: Incredible.
- 37:14SPEAKER_03: That is incredible.
- 37:15SPEAKER_02: Yeah, and that's what I found.
- 37:17SPEAKER_02: I was like, no kidding, man, I didn't know that.
- 37:19SPEAKER_02: All I can think of is that either.
- 37:21SPEAKER_02: I had no idea the buggers wearing goggles or something.
- 37:23SPEAKER_02: Oh, yeah, he's like, you know, I didn't show you.
- 37:27SPEAKER_03: No idea buggles went on.
- 37:28SPEAKER_03: The people in buggles went on to do other things.
- 37:32SPEAKER_03: And here's one song I love, you hate, but Mississippi Queen by Mountain.
- 37:37SPEAKER_03: I love that.
- 37:38SPEAKER_03: Yeah, that's why Mississippi Queen.
- 37:42SPEAKER_03: I love that.
- 37:43SPEAKER_03: Something I just yeah.
- 37:45SPEAKER_03: And did you know they played at Woodstock?
- 37:48SPEAKER_03: And it was only like the third or fourth concert ever.
- 37:54SPEAKER_03: Can you imagine that?
- 37:55SPEAKER_03: You form, and a couple weeks later you're playing Woodstock in front of 500,000 people.
- 38:00SPEAKER_02: It was do you remember the guitarist name?
- 38:03SPEAKER_03: No.
- 38:04SPEAKER_03: For Mississippi Queen, right?
- 38:06SPEAKER_03: Yeah, Mississippi.
- 38:06SPEAKER_03: Well, it's Mountain's the name of the group.
- 38:08SPEAKER_03: Mountain, yeah.
- 38:09SPEAKER_02: Because he they played uh I saw them on uh uh Midnight uh no uh what's the Midnight Special?
- 38:20SPEAKER_02: Midnight Special.
- 38:21SPEAKER_02: Uh a long time ago.
- 38:23SPEAKER_02: A long time ago.
- 38:24SPEAKER_02: Well, I was on YouTube.
- 38:26SPEAKER_02: It just makes me sound like all I do is watch TV.
- 38:28SPEAKER_03: It sounds like you do.
- 38:29SPEAKER_03: A lot of YouTube.
- 38:30SPEAKER_02: It's uh I do it for uh uh research purposes only.
- 38:34SPEAKER_02: And they they I I I I just find it fascinating to go back in time, and it just kind of brings me back to when I was a kid.
- 38:41SPEAKER_02: And Midnight Special was on.
- 38:43SPEAKER_03: You can find anything on YouTube, huh?
- 38:44SPEAKER_02: Yeah, and he was he was they were do they were doing that song on Midnight Special.
- 38:48SPEAKER_02: So that was probably about one in the 70 or something, right?
- 38:51SPEAKER_02: Running out.
- 38:52SPEAKER_03: Uh 1970 is when they released Mississippi Queen.
- 38:55SPEAKER_02: Yes.
- 38:56SPEAKER_03: Which was not at Woodstock.
- 38:58SPEAKER_02: No.
- 38:59SPEAKER_03: They did not play it at Woodstock because they hadn't released it yet.
- 39:01SPEAKER_02: Yeah, they played that in on the Midnight Special.
- 39:03SPEAKER_02: Yeah.
- 39:04SPEAKER_03: It got up to 21, though.
- 39:05SPEAKER_03: Yeah.
- 39:06SPEAKER_03: You know?
- 39:06SPEAKER_02: Yeah.
- 39:06SPEAKER_03: The only reason they got Woodstock is because the their agent was uh also the agent of Jimi Hendrix.
- 39:12SPEAKER_02: That helps.
- 39:13SPEAKER_03: That helps.
- 39:13SPEAKER_03: Yeah.
- 39:14SPEAKER_03: So that's how they got home to Woodstock.
- 39:16SPEAKER_03: But I couldn't imagine that.
- 39:18SPEAKER_03: Forming a band, and then a couple weeks later you're in front of 500,000 people.
- 39:22SPEAKER_02: That's yeah.
- 39:23SPEAKER_03: Damn.
- 39:24SPEAKER_02: That'd get rid of your stage fright really quick, wouldn't it?
- 39:28SPEAKER_03: Yes, it would be.
- 39:28SPEAKER_02: Or it would kill you one or the other.
- 39:30SPEAKER_02: Probably kill me.
- 39:32SPEAKER_02: Help me.
- 39:33SPEAKER_02: This is a ball up in a little ball on the on the side.
- 39:37SPEAKER_03: I can't go all the way up.
- 39:39SPEAKER_02: Don't make me go out there.
- 39:41SPEAKER_02: There's people out there.
- 39:43SPEAKER_03: So that sounds good.
- 39:47SPEAKER_02: Yeah, yep, yep.
- 39:48SPEAKER_02: Uh do you have another one?
- 39:49SPEAKER_02: Or I have, yeah.
- 39:50SPEAKER_02: And then there's a couple of them that I just want to mention.
- 39:54SPEAKER_02: Uh the band uh The Tourist.
- 40:01SPEAKER_02: Never heard of them.
- 40:02SPEAKER_02: Okay.
- 40:02SPEAKER_02: So Steve heard some uh some of the people that were in that band.
- 40:06SPEAKER_03: Okay.
- 40:07SPEAKER_02: They came out with a cover song as uh I Only Want to Be With You.
- 40:11SPEAKER_02: Oh, I remember that song.
- 40:12SPEAKER_02: Remember that song?
- 40:13SPEAKER_02: That was a redo by them.
- 40:15SPEAKER_02: Uh they did that, that was pretty much it for them, successful-wise.
- 40:20SPEAKER_02: The tourists.
- 40:21SPEAKER_02: And then there a couple people from the tourists broke out and became a band that maybe you might have heard of.
- 40:29SPEAKER_03: Maybe.
- 40:30SPEAKER_02: Uh the lady who was the lead vocal was Amy Lennox, and the guitar player was Dave Stewart.
- 40:36SPEAKER_03: Which were married at the time.
- 40:38SPEAKER_02: Yeah.
- 40:38SPEAKER_03: When they came out, they were married.
- 40:40SPEAKER_02: And they came up with this band called Eurhythmics.
- 40:45SPEAKER_02: And I don't know.
- 40:47SPEAKER_03: I liked Eurhythmics.
- 40:49SPEAKER_03: That's some good songs.
- 40:50SPEAKER_02: Yeah, but anyway, that that that came out of uh the band Taurus that's so many counts.
- 40:57SPEAKER_02: The actual album that uh the cover was on.
- 41:00SPEAKER_03: She didn't sing that, did she?
- 41:01SPEAKER_03: And E Linux sang on that?
- 41:03SPEAKER_03: Yipper.
- 41:04SPEAKER_03: Hmm.
- 41:04SPEAKER_03: I didn't know they were about to go listen to that again, maybe.
- 41:09SPEAKER_03: Because she always had that like weird techno voice kind of thing going on when she was in the rhythmics kind of.
- 41:14SPEAKER_02: Yeah, her voice is fantastic.
- 41:16SPEAKER_02: She can sing anything, man.
- 41:17SPEAKER_03: Yeah, she probably changed it up a little bit.
- 41:19SPEAKER_03: I'm sure, depending on the song.
- 41:20SPEAKER_03: Anyway, so that is an interesting fact.
- 41:22SPEAKER_03: You know what I would call that?
- 41:24SPEAKER_03: What would you call it?
- 41:25SPEAKER_02: A tidbit.
- 41:26SPEAKER_03: I would call that a tidbit.
- 41:29SPEAKER_02: Wow.
- 41:30SPEAKER_03: I have an idea.
- 41:41SPEAKER_03: I want to show you some tidbits.
- 41:43SPEAKER_03: Ow.
- 41:44SPEAKER_02: All right.
- 41:45SPEAKER_03: Just thought of that.
- 41:46SPEAKER_03: Thanks.
- 41:47SPEAKER_02: Boom, ladies and gentlemen.
- 41:48SPEAKER_03: Boom.
- 41:50SPEAKER_03: So uh you have another song for us?
- 41:52SPEAKER_03: I do.
- 41:53SPEAKER_03: And uh it kind of co-noids.
- 41:55SPEAKER_03: The night the lights went out in Georgia.
- 41:57SPEAKER_03: Oh, I remember.
- 41:58SPEAKER_03: And it was uh originally done by Vicki Lawrence.
- 42:01SPEAKER_03: And you know Vicky Lawrence fame at the time.
- 42:04SPEAKER_02: At the time, was it Carol Burnett?
- 42:05SPEAKER_03: Carol Burnett show.
- 42:06SPEAKER_03: Yeah.
- 42:07SPEAKER_03: And she got the gig because she looked a lot like Carol Burnett.
- 42:11SPEAKER_03: They were like, she thought Carol thought they, oh, we're like sisters.
- 42:14SPEAKER_03: This would be great.
- 42:15SPEAKER_02: That's how she got a little bit like when that came when they started.
- 42:18SPEAKER_03: I always thought they were.
- 42:19SPEAKER_02: I always thought they were at least related.
- 42:21SPEAKER_02: Yeah.
- 42:21SPEAKER_02: Cousins, something, because they look a lot alike.
- 42:25SPEAKER_03: And that's how she got that job.
- 42:27SPEAKER_03: And you know how she got this song?
- 42:29SPEAKER_03: Because her husband wrote it.
- 42:32SPEAKER_03: She was married to Bobby Russell in 72.
- 42:37SPEAKER_03: Came out in 72 and she was married to Bobby Russell.
- 42:39SPEAKER_03: He wrote it.
- 42:40SPEAKER_03: That kind of helps out.
- 42:41SPEAKER_03: Yeah.
- 42:41SPEAKER_00: Yeah.
- 42:41SPEAKER_03: And he tried to give it to Cher and Cher would not, didn't want it.
- 42:45SPEAKER_03: I guess more or less Sonny said, no, that's just too depressing.
- 42:49SPEAKER_03: You're gonna piss people off in the South, and we aren't gonna do it.
- 42:53SPEAKER_02: And eventually she would have done that, because if you go back and look at other people like doing the same song, would have it would have a different feel to it, that's for sure.
- 43:07SPEAKER_03: Yeah it it because when when Vicky sings it's just more of a story.
- 43:12SPEAKER_03: When Cher would probably do it, it's more of a private song.
- 43:14SPEAKER_02: Yeah, I ch A whole different kind of feel.
- 43:18SPEAKER_03: But she he wasn't gonna do it.
- 43:21SPEAKER_03: Her husband, uh Bobby, said, I don't know, it's not good enough.
- 43:24SPEAKER_03: And Vicky's like, yeah, it is.
- 43:26SPEAKER_03: And so Vicky's went with uh some other guys and said, Let's record it in the studio, get a demo out there.
- 43:32SPEAKER_03: And they did it, and oh, that sounds pretty good.
- 43:35SPEAKER_03: Let's release it.
- 43:36SPEAKER_02: Yeah, that was pretty huge back in the day.
- 43:38SPEAKER_03: Yeah.
- 43:39SPEAKER_03: Oh, and you know who played on it?
- 43:41SPEAKER_03: Glenn Campbell.
- 43:42SPEAKER_03: Well, he probably was because it was the wrecking crew.
- 43:45SPEAKER_03: The wrecking crew was on it.
- 43:47SPEAKER_02: They were on it.
- 43:48SPEAKER_02: I mean, you you probably nine out of ten would say the wrecking crew, and you'd be right.
- 43:52SPEAKER_02: Yeah.
- 43:52SPEAKER_02: Yeah.
- 43:53SPEAKER_03: Anything done in the 60s, 70s, maybe early, early 80s.
- 43:57SPEAKER_03: Yeah, but then they came out.
- 44:00SPEAKER_03: Yeah.
- 44:01SPEAKER_02: They were probably on something.
- 44:02SPEAKER_02: Yeah.
- 44:03SPEAKER_02: Well, I'm sure they were.
- 44:04SPEAKER_03: Well, the record crew, as soon as it was over, I mean, as soon as all of a sudden they were older, people weren't calling anymore, they didn't make no money.
- 44:12SPEAKER_03: No.
- 44:12SPEAKER_03: I mean they didn't get rolled.
- 44:13SPEAKER_03: They made like a million, millions, probably millions in the 70s.
- 44:17SPEAKER_02: You know, they got scale.
- 44:18SPEAKER_02: Yeah.
- 44:19SPEAKER_02: They were paid that day or that week.
- 44:20SPEAKER_02: They just like a paycheck.
- 44:22SPEAKER_02: You went down and collected your paycheck.
- 44:23SPEAKER_03: And then when you're done, you don't get no more money.
- 44:26SPEAKER_02: No.
- 44:26SPEAKER_02: That's all pop hits.
- 44:30SPEAKER_02: And you probably even actually co-wrote.
- 44:33SPEAKER_02: Oh, you came up with the music.
- 44:38SPEAKER_03: The bass part of um well, I can't think of her name.
- 44:41SPEAKER_03: The bass player for Wrecking Crew.
- 44:43SPEAKER_03: She's the one that came up with that.
- 44:45SPEAKER_03: Fantastic.
- 44:46SPEAKER_03: That um oh gosh, what's the song I'm thinking of?
- 44:49SPEAKER_03: Damn it.
- 44:51SPEAKER_03: R-rating.
- 44:54SPEAKER_03: We should have like a button.
- 44:56SPEAKER_03: I think so.
- 44:56SPEAKER_03: So anytime we cuss.
- 44:59SPEAKER_03: But anyway, uh, she came up with that big riff.
- 45:01SPEAKER_03: What was it?
- 45:03SPEAKER_03: Oh man, it's gonna kill me now.
- 45:05SPEAKER_03: Can you look it up real quick?
- 45:07SPEAKER_03: The beat, the beat.
- 45:08SPEAKER_03: We got the beat.
- 45:09SPEAKER_03: No, not we got the beat.
- 45:10SPEAKER_03: The beat goes on.
- 45:12SPEAKER_03: Oh the beat goes on.
- 45:13SPEAKER_03: She came up with that riff, that bass riff, which is basically the song.
- 45:17SPEAKER_03: Song, yeah.
- 45:18SPEAKER_03: Yeah.
- 45:18SPEAKER_03: Got nothing.
- 45:19SPEAKER_03: Without her, there's nothing, and she'll get nothing from it.
- 45:22SPEAKER_02: Unless, you know, I did hear like a couple of the um stars or whatever.
- 45:31SPEAKER_03: Well, Glenn Campbell went on to be a big star.
- 45:33SPEAKER_02: Yeah, but not not but like the star that the uh wrecking crew played with might have gave them a little bit extra or something like that.
- 45:43SPEAKER_02: I hope so.
- 45:44SPEAKER_02: Depending on probably who they were.
- 45:45SPEAKER_03: Yeah.
- 45:46SPEAKER_02: Yeah, and the contract obviously came in there.
- 45:49SPEAKER_02: But uh I didn't know that.
- 45:51SPEAKER_03: That's all interesting.
- 45:52SPEAKER_03: Fantastic, man.
- 45:53SPEAKER_02: Okay.
- 45:54SPEAKER_02: That's all I've got in my little tidbits.
- 45:55SPEAKER_02: I got a couple more if you want to.
- 45:57SPEAKER_02: Let's do it.
- 45:58SPEAKER_02: Okay, so uh the band Outfield.
- 46:02SPEAKER_02: Remember them?
- 46:03SPEAKER_03: Yes, the band Outfield.
- 46:05SPEAKER_03: Um Your Love.
- 46:07SPEAKER_03: Your love.
- 46:08SPEAKER_03: Yeah.
- 46:12SPEAKER_03: Outfield, your love.
- 46:14SPEAKER_03: Can you hum it?
- 46:15SPEAKER_02: No, I can't.
- 46:19SPEAKER_02: Oh, I remember now, yeah.
- 46:21SPEAKER_02: Yes, yes.
- 46:22SPEAKER_02: I always thought when I heard the Outfield, that was a song about baseball.
- 46:27SPEAKER_02: It took me a while to figure out what's going on.
- 46:28SPEAKER_02: Because that was the fan's name.
- 46:30SPEAKER_02: Yes.
- 46:30SPEAKER_02: It took me because that guy had a kind of a high voice, too.
- 46:33SPEAKER_02: Yes, he did.
- 46:34SPEAKER_02: Real high voice.
- 46:35SPEAKER_02: Yeah.
- 46:35SPEAKER_02: So um a couple things come out of that was uh Tony Lewis, who uh released the uh acclaimed solo work Out of the Darkness later in his career.
- 46:48SPEAKER_02: Uh and then uh a guy called John Spinks.
- 46:51SPEAKER_02: Spinks uh remained dedicated to songwriting and a producer in to be for it.
- 46:57SPEAKER_02: Yeah, I well.
- 46:58SPEAKER_02: I looked at that song right before I said it, and I got you gotta be careful when you say Spinks.
- 47:04SPEAKER_02: Because that could have turned into a couple things.
- 47:06SPEAKER_02: But yeah.
- 47:06SPEAKER_02: So anyway, that was the outfield.
- 47:07SPEAKER_02: Then one more, if I may.
- 47:10SPEAKER_02: Um John Cafferty and the Beaver Brown band.
- 47:17SPEAKER_02: I love that movie.
- 47:18SPEAKER_03: I oh uh Eddie and the Cruisers.
- 47:22SPEAKER_03: Yeah, and then have you ever seen Eddie and the Cruisers 2?
- 47:25SPEAKER_03: Yeah, I did.
- 47:26SPEAKER_03: Eddie and the Cruisers 2.
- 47:27SPEAKER_02: That was different.
- 47:28SPEAKER_02: I kind of I liked it.
- 47:29SPEAKER_02: I liked them both.
- 47:30SPEAKER_02: It was just that whole, but the first one was yeah, fantastic.
- 47:35SPEAKER_03: I actually bought both those records that Cafferty did.
- 47:38SPEAKER_02: Yeah.
- 47:39SPEAKER_02: And it was uh the while the band that wrote, you know, they had their own albums uh was pretty cool.
- 47:45SPEAKER_02: They're they're really good.
- 47:46SPEAKER_02: Yeah, yeah, that that sound.
- 47:49SPEAKER_02: Anyway, so um what was I saying?
- 47:53SPEAKER_03: Uh I interrupted you.
- 47:55SPEAKER_02: Yeah, so the Eddie and the Cruisers uh songs for those.
- 47:59SPEAKER_02: And then uh the Michael Toon ATunes into N Tunes uh was the uh saxophone style, various artists.
- 48:10SPEAKER_02: Um anyway.
- 48:11SPEAKER_03: You don't say that's all I got, buddy.
- 48:14SPEAKER_02: That's all I got for that.
- 48:14SPEAKER_02: Well, I got more, but you know, it is what it is, uh it is it's going on some uh vixen, hello and uh the go-go's.
- 48:21SPEAKER_02: The go-go's but more, yeah, dirty white boy, uh, from Kenny Richards.
- 48:26SPEAKER_02: You got more of a story on the dirty white boys?
- 48:28SPEAKER_02: Well, autograph with the band member that autograph uh turn up the radio that was huge back in the day.
- 48:35SPEAKER_02: Yeah.
- 48:35SPEAKER_02: Uh Steve Plunkett, uh, one of their band members uh transitioned to say uh to a songwriter and did uh uh songs for uh Vixen and the Go Go's.
- 48:48SPEAKER_03: Oh, really?
- 48:48SPEAKER_02: And then he also did television uh production as well for uh for stuff.
- 48:53SPEAKER_02: And then another uh band member, Kenny uh Richards, uh continued on, uh not with the band, but uh he he uh played with uh uh he wrote, I think he co-wrote or played on the album that had Dirty White Boy on it.
- 49:13SPEAKER_03: From Foreigner?
- 49:14SPEAKER_02: Yeah.
- 49:15SPEAKER_03: Oh, Foreigner's Dirty White Boy.
- 49:17SPEAKER_03: Oh, okay.
- 49:18SPEAKER_03: I'm thinking.
- 49:19SPEAKER_03: We've used that uh Dirty White Boy, and we've used White Boy twice now.
- 49:23SPEAKER_03: Well, he's playing funky music and he's dirty.
- 49:28SPEAKER_03: Dirty, yeah.
- 49:30SPEAKER_03: We didn't plan that.
- 49:31SPEAKER_02: I don't think we planned it at all.
- 49:33SPEAKER_02: At all.
- 49:33SPEAKER_02: Maybe we ought to go through some stuff and just make sure what we're doing before we do it.
- 49:37SPEAKER_02: Make sure we're not repeating.
- 49:39SPEAKER_02: Yeah.
- 49:39SPEAKER_02: So um, anyway, so that is uh one hit wonders.
- 49:42SPEAKER_02: One hit wonders uh there's more light.
- 49:47SPEAKER_02: Yes, that that's pretty much it.
- 49:49SPEAKER_03: That we'll listen to to this day.
- 49:51SPEAKER_02: We still love the there's a couple in there I didn't like, but I thought the stories were actually pretty cool.
- 49:55SPEAKER_03: Wow, Doug.
- 49:56SPEAKER_02: And they converted to bands.
- 49:58SPEAKER_02: Oh, yeah, those were interesting and mute wrote music that I did like.
- 50:03SPEAKER_03: Yeah.
- 50:03SPEAKER_02: Like the There you go.
- 50:06SPEAKER_03: See, that all comes around.
- 50:08SPEAKER_03: It's probably amazing how many same band and same people in so many different bands, and you never knew it.
- 50:15SPEAKER_02: You never knew it.
- 50:16SPEAKER_02: And the 60s, if you look at their and look at some band histories, it's like they come out with an album, the band would just break up, go away, and all of a sudden, you know, all the other band members will go to other bands that you may or never heard of, and then they would break up and go to band.
- 50:34SPEAKER_02: Finally, they become a hit.
- 50:36SPEAKER_02: They'd be some somewhere they join a band, become a hit, and then they retire.
- 50:41SPEAKER_03: That's true.
- 50:42SPEAKER_03: Or so a lot of these one-hit wonders really had more hits.
- 50:46SPEAKER_03: More hits, but with different bands.
- 50:48SPEAKER_02: Different bands, and that would be an interesting um session as well to come up with that kind of stuff.
- 50:54SPEAKER_03: But uh today You know what?
- 50:56SPEAKER_03: You could do that six degree thing where you say Bob, he's dun dun dun dun duh, and they're finally finished up with this.
- 51:06SPEAKER_03: Yes.
- 51:07SPEAKER_03: Mike Rowe has a uh uh show on called that six degrees of whatever he's doing.
- 51:14SPEAKER_03: It's interesting.
- 51:15SPEAKER_02: You should say it's on my stuff is how how if you've never met this guy before, how would your life be?
- 51:23SPEAKER_03: Yeah.
- 51:24SPEAKER_02: Right?
- 51:25SPEAKER_02: And maybe it was just an encounter one day that the guy gave you, say, hey, you know, my foot hurts.
- 51:32SPEAKER_02: Yeah, I'll have a doctor for you.
- 51:34SPEAKER_02: The guy, you know, just on a bus or something and say, Yeah, this is my doctor.
- 51:38SPEAKER_02: He did great things for me, gave you, you know, his doctor and gave it to you, and you called up the doctor and it cured your foot.
- 51:45SPEAKER_03: Here's my idea for a new hit TV show.
- 51:49SPEAKER_03: Oh, do tell.
- 51:50SPEAKER_03: Do tell.
- 51:52SPEAKER_03: You just have a crew that go around the country, and all of a sudden they just see somebody out in the public and they say, That looks like an interesting story.
- 52:02SPEAKER_03: And they stop them and they produce their half-hour thing on just their life.
- 52:08SPEAKER_02: Well, if their life sucks, though.
- 52:10SPEAKER_03: I mean Well, it's still a story.
- 52:12SPEAKER_03: Well, it's still a story.
- 52:13SPEAKER_03: My life sucks, but it's a sucky story.
- 52:16SPEAKER_03: Yeah.
- 52:16SPEAKER_03: Because everybody has a story.
- 52:19SPEAKER_03: Yes.
- 52:20SPEAKER_03: And then you can give that person, you know, a hundred thousand dollars and brighten up their day.
- 52:25SPEAKER_03: Yeah.
- 52:25SPEAKER_03: And everybody's like, ooh.
- 52:27SPEAKER_03: Kind of like the cash cab.
- 52:29SPEAKER_03: Everybody started running for that.
