6:14
SPEAKER_12: Um, and then speaking of uh speaking of um April Fools, I really I'm sorry, but I really pissed off some first graders today.
6:24
SPEAKER_12: It worked for most of the day because I I did it for a couple other classes, and they thought it was you know, they at first they didn't get it, and then they thought it was funny.
6:32
SPEAKER_12: And then this last class of the day at uh my elementary school was a was a first grade class.

6:53
SPEAKER_12: Really?
6:54
SPEAKER_12: Yes.
6:55
SPEAKER_12: So what I did is at the beginning of class, and you've probably heard this before, I said uh and they were a very remote rambunctious class.

22:32
SPEAKER_15: Jeff Piccaro hated doing 16 notes with two hands because he thought it sounded flat to him.
22:40

SPEAKER_12: I'm not surprised.
22:46

SPEAKER_15: Well, you know, that's all one-handed.
36:31
SPEAKER_15: Of course it is.
36:59
SPEAKER_12: I'm reading the story that goes with this.
37:02
SPEAKER_12: So uh Calling Elvis is trundling faster and faster still with Jeff Rocaro as its piston firing engine.
37:11
SPEAKER_12: The song continues ebbing and then flowing in this way, but he never misses a gear thanks to his often understated rhythm keeper.
37:17
SPEAKER_12: Um, let's see.
37:21
SPEAKER_12: Perhaps that low-key presence accounts for why it's Marionette style puppet from the accompanying video, modeled after Jerry Anderson's Thunderbirds, looks like it's looks like Jeff Picaro.
37:31
SPEAKER_12: Turns out, however, that Jeff Piccaro was only making it seem easy.
37:35
SPEAKER_12: Chris Witten took over drums for the Dire Streets tour in support of On Every Street, which is the album that this is on, and said he was so worn out by the end of that, he briefly retired.
37:51
SPEAKER_12: I can't even imagine.
37:52
SPEAKER_12: Um, did you know?
37:54
SPEAKER_12: Obviously, he uh did some stuff with Donald Fagan of Steely Dam, but this is one of Donald Fagan's most famous songs.
38:00
SPEAKER_12: IGY, what it'd be like.
38:02
SPEAKER_15: Oh yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
38:18

39:08
SPEAKER_12: I do like this song.
39:09
SPEAKER_15: Yeah, it's not a bad song.
39:10
SPEAKER_09: In the end, what you don't surrender, where the world just strips away.
39:18

SPEAKER_12: I knew it.
43:39
SPEAKER_15: And could you imagine what the other team would think that it that think if that started playing?
43:44
SPEAKER_15: Talk about employing some weird psychological warfare.
43:48
SPEAKER_15: The underdogs playing pop jazz during warm-ups might give the other team inflated confidence.
43:53
SPEAKER_12: I told you.
43:54

44:19
SPEAKER_12: What song plays on the ghetto blaster in the background?
44:22
SPEAKER_15: Yeah.
44:23
SPEAKER_15: So this is what Cousin Larry said.
44:25
SPEAKER_15: So, first thing, mixtape! Well, the first thing I thought of was an 80s movie montage with girls just want to have fun by Cindy Lauper playing in the background.
44:36
SPEAKER_15: Then I thought about bathroom songs like She Came In Through the Bathroom Window by the Beatles, Splish Splash by Bobby Darren, and the shower song.
44:44
SPEAKER_15: Then I thought about songs about makeup like Mike's in the makeup by No Doubt.
44:51
SPEAKER_15: Finally, I started thinking about how crowded it would be and landed on the schoolhouse rock song Elbow Room.
44:59
SPEAKER_15: I'll go with that with honorable mention to Seether's Get Out of My Way.
45:05
SPEAKER_14: I love that.
45:10
SPEAKER_00: One thing you will discover when you get next to one another is everybody needs some elbow room, elbow room.
45:22
SPEAKER_00: It's nice when you're kind of cozy, but not when you're tangled nose to nosy.
45:27
SPEAKER_00: Oh, everybody needs some elbow, needs a little elbow room.
45:33
SPEAKER_00: That's how certainly an original early days of the USA.
45:38
SPEAKER_00: The people kept coming to settle, though the east was the only place it was.
45:43
SPEAKER_12: Is there a different version of this?
45:45
SPEAKER_12: Oh wait, maybe this is it.
45:46
SPEAKER_12: Is this the same version?
45:49
SPEAKER_06: Everybody goes big.
45:52
SPEAKER_12: So that was so I just went to YouTube.
45:55
SPEAKER_12: So that was I I want to make sure that I get this right so that we get the right version of this.
46:01
SPEAKER_12: So that was elbow room.
46:03
SPEAKER_12: I I typed in schoolhouse rock elbow room, and the first thing that came up was uh uh elbow room manifest destiny.
46:11
SPEAKER_12: So I can I can see that.
46:13
SPEAKER_12: I mean, you know.
46:14
SPEAKER_12: Yeah, so I clicked on it, and that's what uh but this says schoolhouse rock elbow room.
46:19
SPEAKER_12: So I'm wondering if this is the one that Larry meant.
46:25
SPEAKER_06: Schoolhouse rock, what's your phone?
46:30
SPEAKER_12: Oh wait, maybe it's the same song.
46:31
SPEAKER_12: It is.

SPEAKER_12: So that's the right one.
46:42
SPEAKER_12: Alright, what's yours?

SPEAKER_15: I I I I really couldn't think of one because number one, I've never been a sorority girl.
46:50
SPEAKER_15: So I was just like, uh, well, the only thing that the first thing that came to my mind was Britney Fox.
46:58
SPEAKER_15: Girl school.
46:59
SPEAKER_12: Girls school.
47:00
SPEAKER_12: That's the only one I could think of.

53:22
SPEAKER_12: I'm gonna take up my headphones again now.
53:23
SPEAKER_15: Alright, so this week we're gonna do a different song.
53:26
SPEAKER_15: Uh it's called Cry for a Shadow.
53:28
SPEAKER_15: Now, if you've never heard of it, it's probably because they wrote it before they were famous.
53:33
SPEAKER_15: So here we go.
53:35
SPEAKER_15: When this track was recorded in June 1961, Cliff Richard and the Shadows were Britain's premier rock and roll act.
53:41
SPEAKER_15: Since his first hit with Move It in October 1958, Cliff had been in the top ten ten times, and the Shadows were now making their own instrumental hits.
53:50
SPEAKER_15: Although the Beatles found Cliff a bit too tame for their liking, they were early admirers of the Shadows.
53:57
SPEAKER_15: Paul learned the opening chords of Move It from watching lead guitarist Hank Marvin's finger movements on the Oh Boy TV show, and when Cliff first played the Liverpool Empire on October 12, 1958, Paul was in the audience.
54:11
SPEAKER_15: Cry for a Shadow, an instrumental intended to sound like Mock Shadows, was credited to Harris and Lennon.
54:18
SPEAKER_15: It was the Beatles' first composition to make it onto record when it appeared on Tony Sheridan's 1962 German album, My Bonnie, where the backing group was listed as the Beat Brothers.
54:29
SPEAKER_15: The story is that the composition came about by accident.
54:32
SPEAKER_15: Rory Storm was in Germany and had asked George to play him a recent.
54:36
SPEAKER_15: And George came as a jump homage to his original inspiration.
54:39
SPEAKER_15: He called it Cry for a Shadow.
54:41
SPEAKER_15: It doesn't sound like Frightened City or Apache, says Shadows guitarist Bruce Welch.
54:46
SPEAKER_15: It has the same instrumentation that we used metalodically.
54:50
SPEAKER_15: It's nowhere near either of them.
54:52
SPEAKER_15: I had heard that it was a piss take because we had a stranglehold on the British group scene, and we'd never been to Germany as almost every other group did.
55:02
SPEAKER_15: It was recorded in Germany when the orchestra leader and record company producer Bert Campford hired the Beatles for 300 marks.
55:10
SPEAKER_15: Bert Campford's got the mad hits.
55:11
SPEAKER_15: Got the mad hits to back Sheridan on the Polydor record.
55:15
SPEAKER_15: Norwich born Sheridan, a veteran of London's 21 Coffee Bar, had spent a lot of time in Germany, and Camford wanted to do rocked-up versions of such standard as My Bonnie and When the Saints Go Marching In.
55:28
SPEAKER_15: The Beatles were allowed their own spot on Ain't She's Sweet and Cry for a Shadow.
55:32
SPEAKER_15: Brian Epstein, who was responsible for getting the Beatles out of leather jackets and into tailored suits, encouraged them to emulate the shadows in their attire and on stage courtesies.
55:42
SPEAKER_15: The two groups first met in 1963 at a party in London, and in June of that year, Hank, Bruce, and Brian Locking came to Paul's 21st in Liverpool.
55:52
SPEAKER_15: So that was nice of them to come to his birthday.
55:55
SPEAKER_15: Right?
55:55
SPEAKER_15: That's so nice.
55:57
SPEAKER_12: Cry for a Shadow.
55:59
SPEAKER_15: Yeah.
56:00
SPEAKER_15: Nice.
56:01
SPEAKER_15: There we go.
56:01
SPEAKER_12: And there you have it.
56:02
SPEAKER_12: It says The Beatles with Tony Sheridan, Tony Sheridan, and the Beat Brothers.
56:05
SPEAKER_15: The Beat Brothers.
56:06
SPEAKER_15: Pretty cool.
56:08
SPEAKER_12: That's a whole other song.
56:11
