Latest / Deprogrammed Music Podcast / Andy Gibb
Transcript
- 0:32It's Deprogram, the podcast where we try to get you into an
- 0:36artist. That's right.
- 0:38We've done all the work for you. All you have to do is press play
- 0:41and listen. And you could call me band
- 0:43curious artist curious, however you want to phrase that because
- 0:47I like to get into new music and I like to bring my friends in to
- 0:51tell me about said music. This is a little bit different
- 0:55this time, but the result will be the same from the
- 0:58conversation. A top ten circuit list will come
- 1:01out and you'll be able to get into this artist based on
- 1:06everything we're going to talk about today.
- 1:07And look, man, I we could we could spend all day here shadow
- 1:12dancing, but the reality is we got we got that one wasn't so
- 1:17bad. But we're going to talk about
- 1:18Andy. I was wondering.
- 1:20I was wondering how you're going to slide it in.
- 1:23I mean, that's the one. Right.
- 1:24I was hoping you were going to use something better but and
- 1:26that you weren't just going to throw it all away.
- 1:29Well, Oh well, you know why Fredo, I go for you.
- 1:35So we're talking about Andy Gibb today and you know, the reality
- 1:39is I know why we're doing this. But like, you know, let's let's
- 1:42get under the the hood on this one.
- 1:44So you threw it out there, Fredo, as like, you know, a
- 1:48quick turn around for the bullpen and, you know, so like
- 1:53there. But there's got to be something
- 1:54else behind the fact that other than it's just three records
- 1:58that we can turn around in a week and 1/2.
- 2:00So talk to me about Andy Gibb. Oh, Andy Gibb.
- 2:04OK, first of all, I have a history with Andy Gibb.
- 2:07Oh. When I went to Siena College
- 2:12back in 1987. Albany, NY ladies and gentlemen.
- 2:17Right. Albany, NY.
- 2:18Actually Loudonville, 2 miles north of Albany.
- 2:21You're right. The first party I ever went to
- 2:26was being thrown by the Rugby House AKA Dilligaff before.
- 2:31Do I look like I give a fuck and it was Andy Gibbs birthday that
- 2:38was the theme of the party. Oh nice.
- 2:41He ended up dying a few weeks later after his 30th birthday.
- 2:45He died pretty young. Yeah, second party I ever went
- 2:49to, college party, 80s party, drinking was Andy Gibbs funeral.
- 2:57Wow. And they had casket, a picture
- 3:01of Andy Gibb, and a banner done in the old computer print, you
- 3:06know? Dirty.
- 3:09Like that, Andy would have wanted it this way.
- 3:14And so Andy has always been the back of my mind because it's one
- 3:20of my favorite memories. But then as you know, and and
- 3:24one of the things that all of us do with the in the bullpen is we
- 3:28look for those quick turnarounds to help Justin.
- 3:33And so we were in the middle of talking about some quick
- 3:35turnarounds and I thought Andy Gibb, he doesn't have that huge
- 3:39a discography. However, Andy Gibbs discography
- 3:45is significant. Three albums in four years, 8
- 3:51top 20 singles, 3 number ones including a Grammy nominated
- 3:56song, and the number one's the Billboard number one song of
- 4:011978. The man was more significant
- 4:07than anybody would ever give him credit for.
- 4:12And it's just kind of like, man, we why not?
- 4:16Why not do any GIMP? Yeah.
- 4:20Yeah, you know, and I'll, I'll, I'll send it over to Brian here
- 4:23in a second. But like kind of to your point,
- 4:27you'll notice that one member of the bullpen is here and it's
- 4:30fine. Randy didn't Randy didn't want
- 4:31to do it. And but like, I think that
- 4:33speaks to the point, you know, like that not necessarily a
- 4:38disrespect. And we, we will definitely get
- 4:40under the hood on, on all of this stuff.
- 4:42But like being adjacent to disco, being adjacent to the Bee
- 4:48Gees kind of like makes people just kind of write them off.
- 4:52And it's great to hear that he was kind of like a, a powerhouse
- 4:56in in those four years. He had he had as good a three
- 5:00years, a good as good a run in four years as anybody at any
- 5:05point in music history. That's crazy.
- 5:10So you know, I I just mentioned Randy said no.
- 5:13And again, it's fine. You know, we're not all always
- 5:17going to say yes to all the bullpen, you know, things that
- 5:20come up. But you were you were game for
- 5:22it, Brian. So talk to me.
- 5:24I know you said you said you confused him for Barry last
- 5:28night. So talk to me about Andy Gibb.
- 5:32Yeah, I thought, I thought we were talking Barry Gibb, but
- 5:34that's fine. No, I, I mostly took it because
- 5:38like, I don't know. I don't know.
- 5:39I I do actually like like disco, like I like, you know, like you
- 5:44get in the mood and you, you know, I would do like an episode
- 5:49like on the Bee Gees, like I don't know what's been done, but
- 5:51like I was. Good, I was going to ask.
- 5:56Has it? It hasn't.
- 5:58No, I. Don't know.
- 5:59OK, well now you got two people to sign up for the Bee Gees.
- 6:03Yeah. Yeah, there you go.
- 6:04Yeah, Like I do like funk. I do like, I do like, you know,
- 6:07like that 70s, you know, music and all.
- 6:10So I figured, hey, you know what?
- 6:12Like, you know, you know, it's makes me makes me nervous now
- 6:15hearing that he has all these like #1 hits because I didn't
- 6:19know a single one of his songs. So you know how.
- 6:24Old are you? I'm 45, so I was born in 1980.
- 6:28But like, but my parents didn't listen to that.
- 6:31So my parents, you know, you know, they listened.
- 6:36They were big like on The Moody Blues, they were big.
- 6:39My dad is big on jazz and Blues and my mom used to listen to a
- 6:43lot of like, you know, like, you know, soft hits or, you know,
- 6:46yacht rock, whatever. So like I, I kind of discovered
- 6:50like disco and funk kind of like on my own.
- 6:54So yeah. So I didn't have a lot of
- 6:56exposure to that as as growing up either.
- 6:59So. But no I.
- 7:00This was this was good. So, you know, you know, like any
- 7:04chance I get to, you know, try out a new artist, I'm good.
- 7:09You know, I think it's important to notice.
- 7:12Note that you know, again, you know, I pointed out Randy, not I
- 7:15feel like I'm I'm smoking Randy here, but like I also want.
- 7:20Welcome. But I also want it to be noted
- 7:23that, you know, I kind of did the same thing, like not, you
- 7:26know, I'm not going to do it. But like there is that feeling
- 7:28of, you know, I was like, am I really going to be listening to
- 7:31Andy Gibb, you know, the next couple days?
- 7:33You know, like like a feeling I couldn't help but have, you
- 7:38know, like I, I think it's kind of to what I was speaking to
- 7:42earlier, like just being disco adjacent, being adjacent to the
- 7:45Bee Gees like this, this feeling of kind of similarly to Brian,
- 7:51although I knew a couple of these songs when I came up,
- 7:55disco was a joke. You know, like it, it's easy to
- 8:01write it off like the whole movement because you know, Kiss
- 8:06told well, even Kiss made a disco record.
- 8:09But like, you know, like movies and pop culture told me that
- 8:14disco was trash. And you know, to the point where
- 8:18that we just made, we haven't done the BTS yet.
- 8:20We haven't done disco period. You know, we did Sly and you
- 8:25know, Sly's not disco, but you know, that's as close as we've
- 8:28gotten really. So you know, it's, you know,
- 8:34pointed. In you.
- 8:35What's that? I'm disappointed in you.
- 8:39OK, well, not that. Not that we haven't done disco.
- 8:42I mean, there's, it's a genre, you know, we've done what we've
- 8:45done 2 fucking Montreal groups. I I it's not that you haven't
- 8:50done the genre, but it's that as a person who grew up listening
- 8:55to ICP, who is extremely disrespected, overlooked and
- 9:04dismissed, you knowing that and that there there's a lot more to
- 9:10them than just the Juggalo face paint and the and and and the
- 9:16whatever the hell the soda is. Fail, fail.
- 9:18I can't hear the fail. I'm I'm surprised that you still
- 9:24and, and having done this now what, 8 years?
- 9:26Nine years? Yeah, I'm surprised that that
- 9:29you're still like, oh God, when it comes to a band.
- 9:34Well, I know I, I know plenty of bands that that you wouldn't
- 9:39have you you wouldn't have farted in their general
- 9:41direction and years ago that you've ended up really loving.
- 9:47Yeah, well and look it. Just shocks.
- 9:49Me it went away quick and and you know, especially once he hit
- 9:54play, then it's it's over. You know, like it it it it
- 9:58completely dissipates. I think, I guess to extrapolate
- 10:01on my point, I think it was a it's it's more a product of, you
- 10:07know, me and when I where I came from as opposed to even anything
- 10:11remotely Andy, you know, do do to Andy Gibb.
- 10:15I guess that's why I was trying to like make the point of disco
- 10:18was this joke and it's I went in with an open mind, but there is
- 10:25there. I just wanted to be honest that
- 10:27there was that initial moment of, you know, that initial
- 10:32moment of a groan. I just, I, it's hard to separate
- 10:38me from me. Like it's hard to separate.
- 10:44It's hard to separate what my life.
- 10:46It's you know, it's part of why I can't do The Beatles ever, you
- 10:51know, like these things have just been pounded into my head
- 10:56and sometimes I can easily get sidestep it and and move on.
- 11:01And I did. I did hear I easily sidestepped
- 11:05it, but it doesn't mean that it wasn't there.
- 11:08So like I just wanted to make sure that was that was mentioned
- 11:11that this wasn't something that I just immediately went play and
- 11:15was like all geeked to do, you know, like it was just it it it
- 11:20had nothing to do with with Andy Gibb particularly.
- 11:24It was it was more so how I grew up.
- 11:28So we've talked a lot about like it literally is 30 songs Fredo
- 11:33like it's it's 3 records. Like it's it's nothing.
- 11:36It's Curtis used to stay light work like it's it's nothing.
- 11:41So I mean, we only get 15 songs here.
- 11:43Did that change anything for you?
- 11:45Like, or did you just kind of go right down the line?
- 11:47Have it in no time. No, I had it in no time.
- 11:51I mean, there, there was a half dozen songs, maybe 8 songs that
- 11:59I already knew were going to be on the list.
- 12:03Unfortunate, fortunate, depending on how you look at it.
- 12:07He didn't have a career spanned long enough where he was able to
- 12:13grow as an artist. You know that he had 7 or 8
- 12:19albums where you could hear the growth, the change.
- 12:24He didn't have that. He he did the three albums he
- 12:28had a bad cocaine addiction and and that's he died cause of a
- 12:35heart attack essentially, but it was because of cocaine
- 12:41cocaine's. But he he kind of stopped making
- 12:44records after his third album and transitioned into into TV.
- 12:50He did it and and Broadway. He did a couple of Broadway
- 12:52shows. He did a couple of television
- 12:55shows. Most famously was a show called
- 12:59Solid Gold. I remember that.
- 13:02Which is yeah. So he kind of transitioned and
- 13:07he was. When he passed away, he recorded
- 13:114 songs for a comeback out. So he was getting ready to make
- 13:17that comeback. The guy had an incredible voice.
- 13:20He's he has a falsetto that that that matched his brother Barry
- 13:26and, and I'm sure you got to hear that.
- 13:28But again, after the the songs that I grew up loving that I've
- 13:34always been attached to, a lot of it was just kind of what
- 13:39tickled my fancy, if that makes sense, you know?
- 13:46But Brian, like you coming in blind here, even having the
- 13:51wrong dude, like in your head when when you push play, like
- 13:55does that, yeah, does that change like the songs that that
- 13:58you kind of end up bringing to the table?
- 14:02No, I just so since it was so short.
- 14:05What I did was I listened to the full playlist before I made any
- 14:10decisions. Listen to the full playlist
- 14:12because you know, it was easy. It was only, you know, 2 hour
- 14:14playlist, you know, and then I, I pretty much just plucked out
- 14:20the like 20 or so that, you know, stuck out to me the most.
- 14:28Like, I wish I had done some research and looked up, you
- 14:32know, which songs were Billboard hits and all, you know, So I
- 14:36don't know, kind of kind of feel like I'm phoning it in.
- 14:39But like, I also, I, I, I usually singles rise to the top.
- 14:45So hopefully I found them by like, happy accident.
- 14:49So. But it wasn't yeah, I just went
- 14:51whatever sounded good to me. Yeah, I, I, I, I honestly, I
- 14:56prefer that for both of you. Yeah, both of you going in
- 14:59blind. I think most of the people who,
- 15:02if they actually choose to listen to the in the top ten, I
- 15:08think that what you guys are going to gravitate to would be
- 15:13with the majority of the people would gravitate.
- 15:17To, you know, kind of to that point to what you guys were both
- 15:21saying, like I kind of just went with feels as well.
- 15:25I think I had like 17 on my first pass and I just kind of,
- 15:27you know, whatever felt right. You know, one song I already
- 15:32like a new, new and I was like, well, that one's in.
- 15:35And, you know, the rest of them, I was just kind of like, OK,
- 15:38yeah, yeah. I again, you know, you push play
- 15:42and you're like, OK, I know what this is.
- 15:44I know what this is about. This is this is cool.
- 15:46I, you know, I'm into that. Like, is this my favorite artist
- 15:49we've ever done now? But like, I, I enjoyed, you
- 15:54know, the two hours I spent with Andy Gibb.
- 15:55It was pretty fun, but it was it was good to see whenever I ask,
- 16:00you know, I of course got the obligatory person who said none,
- 16:04which my response now is cool. Thanks.
- 16:09But I, I think I kind of tripped into his hits because I got, you
- 16:16know, almost everything I answered was something that
- 16:20somebody answered back to me. So I was like, oh, OK, my list
- 16:24is in pretty good shape here. I I don't, I feel like I kind of
- 16:28got this guy right. So it could go.
- 16:35There's only but so much room to like hide around in Fredo Fredo.
- 16:39Like the do you think that kind of plays in our favor?
- 16:42It's it's 30 songs. We only each got 15 each.
- 16:45How many do you think we get through unanimously?
- 16:49I, I think I, I, I think this stuff is going to gravitate
- 16:55toward the top. I I, based on, on the hits me,
- 17:01me listening to them in real time.
- 17:05I'm and you guys, the way you're talking, I, I, I think it's
- 17:10going to be don't say 9. I like it.
- 17:13That are just going to make its way.
- 17:16I like it. What do you think, Brian?
- 17:26Go 5. Is this AI don't want to win it
- 17:30or is that like a legit? No, no, that's a that's legit.
- 17:34Like, I don't know. Yeah, the math says go high
- 17:39because there's only 30 songs, but just to play it safe, I'm
- 17:45I'm going to go. Five, I mean, we literally each
- 17:48got to pick half of the discography.
- 17:50So like there's going to be some that we're going to just
- 17:52accidentally all have. So right, I tend to lean towards
- 17:58where Fredo is. So I think what I'm going to do
- 18:01is split you guys and go at 7:00.
- 18:05I think 8 is possible. I honestly think 10 is possible.
- 18:09You know, I, I don't, I don't think that's off the table, but
- 18:14I'd, I'd love to see that nine for Fredo.
- 18:17But all right, we're going to take a quick break and on the
- 18:21other side of it, we're going to play the game and see just how
- 18:23many it is. 5791 of us is going to win or not.
- 18:28It's the programmed. And with that, the name of the
- 18:37game is deprogrammed. The three of us have come
- 18:39through Andy Gibbs discography and plucked out 15 songs that
- 18:43are now going to match together in an attempt to create a top 10
- 18:45surrogate for you. In case you have never listened
- 18:49to Andy Gibb, and again, I want to point out like, don't be like
- 18:52me. You don't have that immediate
- 18:55Ugg Give it a chance. I worst thing that happens is
- 18:59you don't like it. Oh well, you know big deal.
- 19:04I've already made the reference. This was the song I knew going
- 19:06in. I'm starting here.
- 19:08I don't care. Shadow dancing.
- 19:11Worse. Oh yeah.
- 19:13That's that's the number one song of 1978.
- 19:16There you go. Yeah, that was in, that was an
- 19:19instant for me. And I, I had, I had mentioned in
- 19:23the chat that like Frankie Valli and my, my favorite song from
- 19:28that era is Grease. And when this song started, I
- 19:32got like Grease vibes like almost immediately.
- 19:35And I was like, you know, once that bass hit, I was like, Oh
- 19:38yeah, 10,000%. Yeah, yeah, you know, if.
- 19:43We end up doing. I'm good.
- 19:46No, you go ahead. Say if we end up doing the Bee
- 19:51Gees, you're going to find a A. Well first of all, all three of
- 19:56these albums are just smothered with with disco Bee Gees vibes.
- 20:01Late 70 Bee Gees because the the Bee Gees of the 60s in the early
- 20:0670s were completely different group musically.
- 20:11But this, like Andy, could have been the 4th Bee Gees.
- 20:17And you'll find that out if if we end up doing the Bee Gees,
- 20:19which I'm I'm all open for. Oh yeah, you too.
- 20:21See a lot of that. A lot of that music sounds
- 20:26similar to this. A lot of Andy sound similar to.
- 20:31Oh, you know, I, I had a feeling, but, but I'm open to
- 20:35it. We'll talk about that more at a
- 20:36later point, but in the meantime, shadow dancing is in
- 20:41Freda, where you want to go first.
- 20:43I'm going to go, Speaking of the Bee Gees, with a song that was
- 20:46first recorded by the Bee Gees for the Saturday Night Fever
- 20:50soundtrack and they didn't use it.
- 20:55Andy ended up releasing it. Personally, I think it is one of
- 20:59the most beautiful love songs, could be my top three love songs
- 21:04of all time. And off the Shadow Dancing
- 21:07album. It's our love.
- 21:09Don't throw it all the way. Yes, Sir.
- 21:11Yeah, I got it. Yeah, yeah.
- 21:15What? A beautiful song.
- 21:19There's a lot of that, you know, like just beautiful moments,
- 21:23which I I, I thought was interesting.
- 21:25I didn't, I don't know why I didn't.
- 21:27I didn't see that coming. You know, I, I guess I thought
- 21:31it was going to be a lot of shadow dancing and not, you
- 21:36know, pretty love songs. So I'm for it.
- 21:40All right, let me mark that one off.
- 21:43Boom and boom, our love. Don't throw it all the way is in
- 21:50Brian. So I I'm just going to go in the
- 21:54order that I wrote them down, which is random because I'm not
- 21:58sure. So I just want to be your
- 22:01everything. Yep. #2 Song of 1977.
- 22:06OK. And also, just to let you know,
- 22:12I'm Billboard, and they put out their list of the top 100 songs
- 22:18in the 55th anniversary. Yeah, that song was #26.
- 22:23Wow. Of the top 100 songs in
- 22:26Billboard's 55th anniversary. So yeah.
- 22:30Just like that. Just like that.
- 22:35All right. Kind of blew through all the
- 22:42ones like I was I was eyeballing as my first picks.
- 22:45So how about an everlasting love?
- 22:52My favorite fucking song. Wow.
- 22:56Oh. Yes.
- 22:59I don't have it. I don't have.
- 23:01It what I. Don't have it?
- 23:03Yeah. Oh my God.
- 23:07I'm gonna write that down. Write that.
- 23:09Yeah, never lasted, but. Oh my God.
- 23:14That's alright, I know I definitely had it at one point.
- 23:18They don't have it at the most important point.
- 23:22Yeah, you're lucky you're not getting the the full Fredo here.
- 23:25Yeah, no, because I, I, I, I, I can't, I can't give them that,
- 23:30you know? Yeah, it's.
- 23:32OK, if yeah, I can't. I can't give either one of you
- 23:35that, though I want to. All right, we'll take that too,
- 23:39though Everlasting Love gets a two Fredo, where you want to go?
- 23:45I was going to actually go with that one.
- 23:46Like I wasn't kidding what I said.
- 23:47That's like, that's one of my top ten favorite songs of all
- 23:50time and my favorite Andy Gibbs song.
- 23:55If we get 9, that one's coming back.
- 23:56Right. Fuck, you took me off.
- 24:03We'll go with another one of his of his top songs off his first
- 24:10album, Flowing River Love is Thicker Than Water.
- 24:13Yeah, man, I got it. Yes.
- 24:17Hey, got that? One didn't have everlasting
- 24:20love. OK, that's that's what you're
- 24:25going to get from me. You'll get that.
- 24:27Interesting. OK, Yeah, just like that.
- 24:33We're at, what, 4? All right?

- 26:02Somebody answered that and and you didn't.
- 26:05You. Didn't go back and listen to it

- 28:14Nope, I didn't want to get both of them.
- 28:17Yeah, I only picked the one Olivia John.
- 28:19So that's what happened to me. I just picked the other one, all
- 28:24right. Pick the worst one.

- 29:05props to your crowd, to the people who answered this, to

- 29:23look at the night? Yeah, I got it.
- 29:30Shadow dancing. Nope.

- 29:46No 4, No 55. How about I go for you?
- 29:57Yes. Nope all.

- 30:13unfortunately. Yeah.
- 30:15All right, Fredo. Fuck, I'm all jacked up now.
- 30:27Let's go back to the first album.
- 30:29Some that a really strong country feel to it.
- 30:34Come home for from the winner. Yeah, I get it.
- 30:39I don't, but there, yeah, there were a couple kind of countryish
- 30:42songs that I really liked. You didn't like that one?

- 31:22What I meant when I said When I said 9, I meant 9 too.
- 31:28All right, I'm just going to. I only got 2 left.
- 31:30I'm just going to give them both here.
- 31:32OK, OK. Flowing rivers.
- 31:35Yep. No.
- 31:39All right, and last but not least, falling in love with you.
- 31:47No. No.
- 31:50All right, for the record, yeah, the.
- 31:55Four. Yeah, I got 3 so.
- 31:57For the record, we only got 4 unanimously.

- 32:03Fredo, what do you got? Left I got Melody off shadow
- 32:10dancing. No.
- 32:13I got waiting for you off shadow dancing.
- 32:17No. I got I can't help I can't help
- 32:24it off of After dark. That one No.
- 32:29Hold on, hold on, hold on. And you I.
- 32:33I played that one earlier, I can't help it.
- 32:36Oh, wait. Yeah.
- 32:39So that goes from A1 to A2. OK all.
- 32:43Right. I didn't hear you say that.
- 32:47OK. And then so I made it harder.
- 32:49Good. And then someone I ate.
- 32:55No all. Right, there you go.
- 32:58And then just for funsies, Brian.
- 33:01I got why I got good feeling. Hold on a second, because I
- 33:07played why earlier you did, yes. What did I say?
- 33:16No. Well, you may.
- 33:17Obviously no, because I don't have it.
- 33:19Yeah. All right, well, we got it too.
- 33:23We all got it. I don't know what's happening
- 33:26here. All right, Like why?
- 33:31Good feeling all. Right.
- 33:34And let it be me. All right, we covered most of
- 33:40this discography between the three of us, 12345 songs, only 5
- 33:48songs not brought to the table. I mean, what you're looking at
- 33:52there is kind of exactly what you're worried about with a
- 33:59short discog is everybody kind of found corners somehow in 30
- 34:03songs to to to hide in all right.
- 34:06So let me run down the four we got.
- 34:08I just want to be your everything shadow dancing our
- 34:10love. Don't throw it all away.
- 34:12Love is thicker than water are already in these twos are going
- 34:17to be an everlasting quick. Go ahead, hold.
- 34:21On Real Quick, of the four that are in remember, I said he had
- 34:24three number one songs. Those are #1.
- 34:27Songs. There you go.
- 34:28Wow, There you go. Yeah.
- 34:30Like I said, I I, I was, I said it will hopefully like the cream
- 34:34of the crop with singles rises to the top and.
- 34:37Yep, those three. And then the other one is a is a
- 34:39top ten song. Nice, yeah.
- 34:43All right, so here's our twos. An everlasting love.
- 34:45Warm ride. Too many looks in your eyes.
- 34:48Rest your love on me after dark. One more look at the night I go
- 34:52for you. Come home for the winter
- 34:54wherever you are. Flowing rivers.
- 34:57I can't help it. And why is there one that's kind
- 35:01of screaming at you, Fredo, that like, come on.
- 35:07I already knows, I told. You, it's one of my top it's one
- 35:10of my top ten favorite songs of all time.
- 35:12I stand in it. I I I chose not to belittle
- 35:16Brian. Yeah.
- 35:19But yeah, and everlasting love. Yeah.
- 35:22Yeah. Yeah, OK, good.
- 35:24You know, no need for further conversation.
- 35:26That. Yeah, that should have been in.
- 35:31All right. Is there anything else jumping
- 35:32out of you? Out of you other than the the
- 35:34duh. Nope.
- 35:37OK. Anything that's jumping out of
- 35:40you, Brian? Warm ride wherever you are.
- 35:49Like nothing's really jumping out at me.
- 35:53Like I could be pushed like I genuinely like like my 15 songs,
- 36:00like I've played my playlist a couple times.
- 36:03So, you know, 'cause I was in AI was in a good mood and I wanted
- 36:08to hear it. So I, I, there's, there's
- 36:11nothing here that I wouldn't, I would say no to let.
- 36:18Me ask you this Fredo. Do do we think album
- 36:21representation is important here?
- 36:26I'm going to say yes only because if we don't, we will
- 36:31overlook that third out. Right.
- 36:34Yeah. So we've got what, 12345
- 36:39available from After Dark? So we should probably
- 36:44realistically take two of those, right?
- 36:47Yeah, and I would recommend one of the duets with Olivia and
- 36:53John. Yeah.
- 36:57All right, so that's what I can't help it.
- 36:58And rest your love on me. Right.
- 37:03They both had two 2 picks, no? Yeah, they both have two.
- 37:06Rest your love on me had two. They both have two.
- 37:09Yeah, I had Rest your love on me.
- 37:20That's the only one I had. Right.
- 37:24And then I had. I can't help it.
- 37:28Yeah, I had rest of your love on me.
- 37:30Yeah, that's what I thought. I can't help but only have one.
- 37:33Right. But you.
- 37:34Oh, no. Yeah, you said no, I have.
- 37:37Yeah. Yeah.
- 37:37No, I do have it. Shit.
- 37:38I just didn't write down that it was with Olivia Newton John.
- 37:41Yeah, yeah. So I have them both.
- 37:44You know I had I can't help but I didn't have Rest your love on
- 37:47me, I. Don't care which one you guys
- 37:50take. It feels coin flippy, right?
- 37:54Yeah. I'll flip a coin.
- 37:56Well, I don't have one. Are are you feeling one one way
- 37:58or the other, Brian like I I. Imagine I had rest your.
- 38:03I had rest your love on me. Right.
- 38:07I mean, that's probably the easiest way to.
- 38:08Be Hey Google, flip a coin. It is it's head.
- 38:17All right, so. What's your love on me?
- 38:19Yeah, let's just do that. Let's just do that.
- 38:24OK? All right, so that gives US1
- 38:26After Dark and an Olivia Newton John song.
- 38:31So now let's get another one. What do we got?
- 38:35Warm ride. Warm ride.
- 38:37Warm ride. Yeah, warm ride.
- 38:39OK. All right.
- 38:41So that takes care of After Dark and puts us at 7:00.
- 38:48So we have three more spots here.
- 38:51OK. Do we want something country
- 38:55like come home for the winter to kind of throw in here?
- 38:58Yeah, I. Yeah, yeah, because.
- 39:04Just Lebanese man, everything, everything went.
- 39:06Right. That, that that's exactly a mom.
- 39:10That's exactly right. It was the 70s and you had you.
- 39:15You had some country, some songs that had a country feel to them,
- 39:18right, You know? All right, so that gives US123
- 39:25from Flying Rivers, 3 from Shadow Dancing, 2 from After
- 39:29Dark. With two two spots remaining,
- 39:36are we leaning one way or the other as far as album
- 39:39representation or is it just best 2 songs available?
- 39:43Now I think that's what's available at.
- 39:45This point. So let me just real quick
- 39:47rundown what's left. Too many looks in your eyes
- 39:50after dark. One more look at the night I go
- 39:52for you wherever you are, flowing rivers and I can't help
- 39:56it. And why?
- 39:58I'm sorry. The only one, I think at this
- 40:02point, since we already took the one Olivia Newton John song, I
- 40:06think the only one eliminated is I can't help it unless somebody
- 40:09really wants to really go bat to bat for it.
- 40:13OK, We don't need both of them. All right.
- 40:18Is there any, is there one that you're kind of leaning towards
- 40:21here, Fredo? Oh, I'll lean, I'll lean toward
- 40:28on my flowing rivers because both of you guys had had gotten
- 40:33that one. OK.
- 40:36Yeah. All right.
- 40:38Let's do that. And then same same question to
- 40:40you, Brian. Is there one you're kind of
- 40:42leaning towards? Maybe like I go, I go for you.
- 40:53One more look in the night. Yeah, I feel like anything off
- 40:59the shadow dancing is is going to be clutch.
- 41:02Yeah, that anything off for that is golden.
- 41:05Yeah, that was his best. That was his best selling album,
- 41:08but. Oh, OK.
- 41:09That makes sense. Are you leaning one way or the
- 41:12other with those two, Brian? No, no, I'm I'm like, I'm not
- 41:20leaning towards really either 1 I don't have the albums written
- 41:23down so I don't know which one is from Shadow Boxing or Per
- 41:27Shadow. Dancing.
- 41:28I don't. They both are.
- 41:30Boxing. Shadow boxing.
- 41:32Yeah, this is enough. This is a Fiona Apple.
- 41:35So we'll go with, I go for you then, you know, perfect.
- 41:38And then I'll round out our 10 here and then we run it down and
- 41:42then we'll turn the heat up a little bit.
- 41:43Boom. Yeah, I think that.
- 41:46What did? What did now?
- 41:47What did people were out there say?
- 41:53Let's see. OK, so answers I got I got
- 41:57everlasting love a couple times. I got I just want to be your
- 42:00everything. A couple times I got shadow
- 42:02dancing, a couple times I got our love.
- 42:05Don't throw it all away. I got love is thicker than
- 42:09water. I got too many looks in your
- 42:12eyes as an answer. I can't help.
- 42:15It was an answer. Why was an answer?
- 42:18And then, as I told you, words and music and desire were both
- 42:21answers as well. But we hit.
- 42:24Props to those people with those deep cuts.
- 42:26Yeah, well, we hit all the answers you.
- 42:27Got a lot of you got a lot of answers.
- 42:29There's there's like more popular bands that you don't get
- 42:33so many answers. Like, like and you know, I did
- 42:35get, I got the obligatory obligatory Tory, no, none.
- 42:40And I also got the obligatory all of them, which I didn't
- 42:44expect. So that was.
- 42:46Interesting. You know, Andy Gibb is a guilty
- 42:50pleasure for a lot of people. Yeah, definitely for me.
- 42:53Well, I don't have a guilty pleasure.
- 42:54I I would now say I love it, but it but it would be one of those
- 42:59things that people would think is a guilty pleasure for me.
- 43:01That'll talk about it as much. But there were songs on this
- 43:06list that I listened to still today.
- 43:10I I probably listen to average once a week.
- 43:14Well, I like that. Yep, today I and and Everlasting
- 43:20Love I'll listen to five times in a row.
- 43:23I love that song. Well, so that said, let's run
- 43:29this down. I just want to be your
- 43:30everything. Shadow dancing our love.
- 43:31Don't throw it all away. Love is thicker than water.
- 43:33An everlasting love. Rest your love on me.
- 43:35Warm ride, come home for the winter flowing rivers.
- 43:38I go for you, Fredo. Like which?
- 43:42Which one is the one? I mean, I know an Everlasting
- 43:44Love is like one of your, you know, top favourites, but as is.
- 43:48Yes. Is it the one?
- 43:49Is it the one I wish I could say yes?
- 43:53I will say yes for me, the one shadow dancing.
- 43:58Yeah, I think it kind of has to be right.
- 44:01Yeah, 100 and I mean 115% I. Mean the only other one that
- 44:06that we could even make an argument for is our love.
- 44:10Don't throw it all away, right? That would be only but but
- 44:13that's that's a distant #2 shadow that it has to be the the
- 44:18jam, without a doubt. Well, and you know it, it should
- 44:22be noted, it was the the one song that I knew knew going in
- 44:25and it didn't disappoint that like that didn't turn me off
- 44:28from it. And obviously it was enough for
- 44:30me to lead lead the game with it.
- 44:32So yeah, it's shadow dancing. All right, let me run this down
- 44:36one last time and we'll wrap her all up.
- 44:38Shadow dancing is our number one.
- 44:40I just want to be your everything, our love.
- 44:42Don't throw it all the way. Love is thicker than water and
- 44:44everlasting love. Rest your love on me.
- 44:46Warm ride. Come home for the winter.
- 44:48Flowing rivers. I go for you.
- 44:49Rounds out our ten. With that, let's let Shadow
- 44:54dancing get a moment in the sun into it.
- 45:08All right. Hopefully we were able to turn
- 45:11you around too. Like like I turned myself around
- 45:15with this and do it post haste. Like don't, it's not a music
- 45:21should never be a guilty pleasure.
- 45:23Pleasure. You know it.
- 45:24You like what you like. And don't be ashamed of that.
- 45:27You know, I I I think it's kind of like really the point I'm
- 45:31trying to drive home here and don't it just push play.
- 45:35Like, just do it. Listen to it.
- 45:37You'll, you'll be into it. And, you know, worst that
- 45:40happens is you, you're not and you don't.
- 45:43Oh, well, you know, you tried. Who cares?
- 45:46Yeah, It's OK. Not everybody likes everything.
- 45:49Oh well. So with that, Deprogrammed is a
- 45:52podcast. Of course, you know that you're
- 45:53listening to us on a podcast platform, huh?
- 45:57Who knew? If you happen to be listening on
- 45:59Spotify, that means you can leave comments now and I can
- 46:01chat back to you. That would be cool because you
- 46:05can say, hey, I like this Andy Gibbs song.
- 46:08I can't believe it didn't make it and I can go, oh man, yeah,
- 46:11that one was close or whatever. We can have a conversation.

- 46:26Would appreciate that. Same thing goes for Apple
- 46:27podcast, except for we can't have conversations there.
- 46:31But rating us five stars and leaving us a review definitely
