SPEAKER_03: Hello, hello, and welcome to another episode of a really good podcast with Greg and Liz.
0:09
SPEAKER_03: And today's episode we are discussing 80s summer bangers.
0:14
SPEAKER_02: From when we were babies.
0:17
SPEAKER_03: I know.
0:17
SPEAKER_03: It's funny.
0:18
SPEAKER_03: I mean, we know obviously all of these songs.
0:20
SPEAKER_02: I know.
0:21
SPEAKER_02: And you know, 80s summer.
0:23
SPEAKER_02: I mean, was there anything I ever I remember going to my Kathy's pool and she would make macaroni and cheese and call us out.
0:30
SPEAKER_02: And it's like going to the beach with like little to no supervision.
0:34
SPEAKER_02: Yeah.
0:34
SPEAKER_02: Tasting hermit crabs.
0:36
SPEAKER_02: Just like it's like the summer in the 80s.
0:39
SPEAKER_02: Just this combination of unchecked parenting and the world was a different place.
0:44
SPEAKER_02: Safe.
0:44
SPEAKER_03: Yeah, even like from 80s to 90s, because I have pictures in the 80s of me as like a baby with my aunt just a cigarette right in my face.
0:53
SPEAKER_02: You know, cigarettes everywhere.
0:54
SPEAKER_02: I love that like meme of like Mel Gibson smoking a cigarette, and it's like your mom watching you open your Christmas presents.
1:01
SPEAKER_02: Like so great.
1:02
SPEAKER_02: You know what's funny?
1:03
SPEAKER_02: I heard this quote once that it was you should be preparing your kids for the road, not the road for your kids.
1:08
SPEAKER_02: And boy, if the 80s were like if you go to a playground in the 80s and it was a summer day, you're gonna burn your ass.
1:14
SPEAKER_03: You're gonna burn your ass.
1:15
SPEAKER_03: It might be wooden, so you probably get some splinters.
1:21
SPEAKER_02: Yeah, a lot of metal.
1:23
SPEAKER_02: There's not that bouncy stuff to land on.
1:26
SPEAKER_03: No, no, nobody's having like a foam floor in the hair.
1:29
SPEAKER_02: Remember that thing you run around and spin and like you just push and people jump on and jump out.
1:33
SPEAKER_03: Yeah, they actually a playground that is near my old house had one of those, and there were quite a few injuries just from I would imagine.
1:42
SPEAKER_03: Yeah, yeah.
1:43
SPEAKER_03: We had one of those domes at our school, you know, those huge, it was huge, and some girl like fell off it and broke her arm.
1:49
SPEAKER_03: And it's like, yeah, duck.
1:51
SPEAKER_02: Yeah.
1:53
SPEAKER_02: It should take some courage to get to the top of the dome.
1:55
SPEAKER_02: Yeah, right.
1:56
SPEAKER_02: I mean, we had that too.
1:57
SPEAKER_02: We called it a beehive.
1:58
SPEAKER_03: I know.
1:58
SPEAKER_03: So when it comes to the songs of the 80s, though, I was thinking about this, and obviously I can recognize a summer banger, but then sometimes I'm like, is this a summer banger or is this just a banger?
2:11
SPEAKER_03: And then I'm like, is this just something I remember listening to in the summer?
2:15
SPEAKER_02: I think one piece that you have to pay attention to is in is the video take place at a beach or does it appear warm?
2:24
SPEAKER_02: You know, I I think then you're in the right direction.
2:27
SPEAKER_03: Yeah, I mean, or just very confusing.
2:30
SPEAKER_03: I obviously we have a ton of songs, so we are gonna bracket today and we're gonna try to pick the ultimate 80s summer banger.
2:35
SPEAKER_03: So there's a lot of songs, so we're gonna go through them kind of quickly, but I wasn't able to watch all of the music videos, but I watched enough videos to say they were out of their minds.
2:46
SPEAKER_02: Yeah, yeah.
2:47
SPEAKER_02: I mean, the the music video has lost all its I don't even see music videos anymore.
2:51
SPEAKER_03: Now, peak music video time is the late 80s to early to mid 90s easily I would say early to Backstreet Boys in sync.
3:02
SPEAKER_03: TRL really made the music video important.
3:05
SPEAKER_03: I personally love a music video with a storyline.
3:08
SPEAKER_03: Runaway train, runaway train, November rain.
3:11
SPEAKER_02: November rain.
3:12
SPEAKER_02: What's the the meatloaf, every meatloaf one?
3:15
SPEAKER_03: Every everything I would do anything for love, but I won't do that.
3:18
SPEAKER_03: Where he had a fake woman come in and sing the part.
3:21
SPEAKER_02: You know what was a cool video?
3:23
SPEAKER_02: Remember Freak on a leash and you would follow the bullet all over the place?
3:27
SPEAKER_03: Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
3:28
SPEAKER_03: Where's this thing going?
3:29
SPEAKER_03: You know, I know.
3:30
SPEAKER_03: I love a music video.
3:31
SPEAKER_03: We gotta do like top five music videos, our own personal top five.
3:35
SPEAKER_03: The problem is a lot of the ones that I love are a little problematic.
3:37
SPEAKER_03: Like R.
3:38
SPEAKER_03: Kelly, down low was one of my favorites.
3:41
SPEAKER_03: Justin Timberlake, Crimea River, another one of my favorites.
3:45
SPEAKER_02: He's problematic.
3:46
SPEAKER_02: Timberlake's problematic.
3:47
SPEAKER_03: I mean, I just hate him.
3:49
SPEAKER_02: I'd like him.
3:50
SPEAKER_02: I think he's a he's such a tool.
3:53
SPEAKER_02: Yeah, he is a tool, but there was a period where he was like sex simple.
3:57
SPEAKER_03: Oh, yeah.
3:58
SPEAKER_03: You know, I mean the Crimea River music video changed my life.
4:01
SPEAKER_03: Which one?
4:01
SPEAKER_03: Crimea River, the one where he had the girl dressed up as Britney.
4:05
SPEAKER_03: Oh yeah.
4:05
SPEAKER_03: And depicted her cheating on him after he broke up with Britney.
4:09
SPEAKER_03: So basically it was him saying it was just one more way he used Britney Spears to claw to the top.
4:15
SPEAKER_03: Well, one more thing I actually wanted to talk about.
4:17
SPEAKER_03: Where do 80s summer bangers and yacht rock intersect?
4:21
SPEAKER_02: Because almost suggests summer, doesn't it?
4:24
SPEAKER_03: Yeah, they all feel like summer to me.
4:26
SPEAKER_03: A lot of them are 70s, though.
4:28
SPEAKER_03: I will say that.
4:29
SPEAKER_03: I was thinking it's like that thing where it's like every square is a quadrangle, but not every quadrangle is a square.
4:35
SPEAKER_03: Every yacht rock song is an 80 summer banger, but not every 80 summer banger is a yacht rock song.
4:41
SPEAKER_02: That's absolutely right.
4:42
SPEAKER_02: And it's also like, how do you know it's a summer song?
4:45
SPEAKER_02: It's like that when that judge made the um how do you know what porn is?
4:49
SPEAKER_02: He said, You know it when you see it.
4:51
unknown: Yeah.
4:52
SPEAKER_02: It's kind of the same thing, right?
4:53
SPEAKER_02: So you feel yeah.
4:55
SPEAKER_02: Well, does it make me feel like summer?
4:57
SPEAKER_02: Summer banger.
4:57
SPEAKER_02: That's it.
4:58
SPEAKER_02: And make does it have to have come out in the summertime?
5:00
SPEAKER_03: I think I don't think so.
5:02
SPEAKER_02: Oh, okay.
5:02
SPEAKER_02: So we can get it.
5:03
SPEAKER_03: I don't think it has to come out in the summer because I think sometimes, you know, banger is a banger.
5:08
SPEAKER_03: Sometimes also you gotta have it come out and let it build.
5:11
SPEAKER_02: Yeah, I think Home Alone came out in June, didn't it?
5:13
SPEAKER_02: It came out.
5:14
SPEAKER_02: So it's like it doesn't really have to.
5:15
SPEAKER_03: I think we've seen that with a lot of these.
5:17
SPEAKER_03: All right, so let's start the songs.
5:18
SPEAKER_03: What I'm gonna do is I'm gonna do the two songs that were are going up against each other, and then we'll discuss discuss each song.
5:24
SPEAKER_03: Okay.
5:25
SPEAKER_03: So first up, we're gonna start out with a this is a big one.
5:28
SPEAKER_02: And it's an easy one for me.
5:29
SPEAKER_02: So go ahead.
5:30
SPEAKER_03: We have Kokomo by the Beach Boys, Aruba, Jamaica, versus Vacation by the Go Go's.
5:42
SPEAKER_03: Did you watch the Kokomo music video?
5:44
SPEAKER_02: Yes, of course I did.
5:45
SPEAKER_03: It is it is I know what you're gonna say.
5:48
SPEAKER_03: What we gotta get to the bottom of John Stamos and the Beach Boys.
5:53
SPEAKER_02: Yeah, Beach Boy.
5:54
SPEAKER_02: I I mean, like, what is the deal?
5:55
SPEAKER_02: Did they owe him a favor?
5:56
SPEAKER_03: I something so I looked it up actually because I was like, Bridge and I talked about this.
6:01
SPEAKER_03: No, I listened to the case.
6:01
SPEAKER_03: When she came, yeah, when she came and did the what was it, the fake bands.
6:06
SPEAKER_03: We talked about this and we didn't really know much.
6:08
SPEAKER_03: Apparently, they just became really good friends, and he was like, Come on full house, and they were like, Okay, and then they were like, come play with us, and he was like, Okay, and they just put him in the Kokomo video, and then I think it petered out a little bit, but he was never officially part of the Beach Boys, but I do believe he toured with them.
6:26
SPEAKER_02: Yeah, like the thing was like when I saw that video, and obviously this was like peak full house fame, it's like there's no explanation why Uncle Jesse is playing the Bongos right now.
6:37
SPEAKER_03: Or why Mike, what's his name?
6:40
SPEAKER_03: Mike Mike Love?
6:41
SPEAKER_03: No, yeah, Mike, good job.
6:43
SPEAKER_03: Yeah, it is Mike.
6:44
SPEAKER_03: Is that it?
6:44
SPEAKER_03: I know why he's in your living room.
6:47
SPEAKER_03: There's a lot of people.
6:48
SPEAKER_02: Did I miss the mark for Full House?
6:49
SPEAKER_02: Because it was like these these guys are like really old.
6:52
SPEAKER_02: Yeah, and a lot you know, you know, a lot of people aren't.
6:54
SPEAKER_03: Well, that's the other thing.
6:55
SPEAKER_03: Like the the age doesn't line up, you know.
6:58
SPEAKER_02: That's a weird thing.
6:59
SPEAKER_03: It is weird, and then vacation by the go goes, not a not a summer song, not a summer banger.
7:05
SPEAKER_03: I don't think you want to call it a summer banger because they're like water skiing in the music video, yeah.
7:10
SPEAKER_03: Yeah, yeah, but it's about wanting to go on vacation.
7:14
SPEAKER_02: So that's more like I'm in the office, kind of thinking about vacation, you know.
7:20
SPEAKER_01: Not quite there, yeah.
7:22
SPEAKER_03: It's not very upbeat.
7:24
SPEAKER_03: I feel like summer you want it to feel like you are going on vacation.
7:31
SPEAKER_02: So we're coming out strong with this because Kokomo is up there.
7:35
SPEAKER_03: Yeah, Kokomo could be the winner, but I don't know.
7:37
SPEAKER_02: We have a you know, it's a made-up place too.
7:39
SPEAKER_03: Should we just call it right now and be done with the case?
7:42
SPEAKER_03: No, because I have one in my mind that I'm like I have a couple that are in my mind, but I don't know if it's just because we used to listen to it on the way to the beach.
7:48
SPEAKER_03: So we're we're gonna keep going.
7:50
SPEAKER_03: Okay.
7:50
SPEAKER_03: Boys of summer versus summer of 69.
8:03
SPEAKER_00: I got the first one of 60.
8:13
SPEAKER_00: Was a summer of 69.
8:16
SPEAKER_02: Now, see, this was a really hard one.
8:18
SPEAKER_03: I actually considered not putting them next to each other because I knew they would both go far, but then I said one way or the other, they're gonna end up going head to head.
8:25
SPEAKER_02: It's funny because like so we got Don Henley and we've got Brian Adams, right?
8:29
SPEAKER_02: Did you watch the Boys of Summer music video?
8:32
SPEAKER_02: I did.
8:33
SPEAKER_02: Henry is now obsessed with the song.
8:35
SPEAKER_02: We have to hear it every time we get in the car.
8:37
SPEAKER_03: That's like Crosby and Crosby and Careless Whisper.
8:40
SPEAKER_03: Crosby is actually going to do saxophone next year in middle school because of Careless Whisper.
8:45
SPEAKER_02: So you should let him watch the beginning of Lost Boys.
8:49
SPEAKER_02: Very good saxophone scene there.
8:50
SPEAKER_03: Oh yeah.
8:51
SPEAKER_03: I know.
8:52
SPEAKER_03: I told him he needed to learn what's that one by uh Baker Street?
8:55
SPEAKER_03: Like you gotta learn Baker Street solo if you're gonna.
8:58
SPEAKER_02: I mean, we'll be able to get any girl if he can pull that off.
9:02
SPEAKER_03: I don't know, is the saxophone like the sexiest instrument?
9:06
SPEAKER_02: Right.
9:06
SPEAKER_02: Well, he's 11, so Clinton was a big saxophone guy.
9:11
SPEAKER_03: You know how he's I found him very attractive when I was in fifth grade.
9:16
SPEAKER_03: So Boys of Summer, like they are frolicking on the beach in the music video.
9:20
SPEAKER_03: What is going on in this music video, by the way?
9:22
SPEAKER_02: So I don't know.
9:23
SPEAKER_02: There was a like I I feel like that was it's just very 80s to me.
9:27
SPEAKER_02: And Summer of 69.
9:29
SPEAKER_02: So this one was really hard for me because I want to say something.
9:31
SPEAKER_02: It's almost like Brian Adams is the Don Henley of Canada almost.
9:35
SPEAKER_01: Yeah.
9:36
SPEAKER_02: It seems like they're very similar, or or like Richard Marks or something.
9:40
SPEAKER_02: It's in that same category.
9:41
SPEAKER_03: Summer of 69 doesn't lose points though for invoking another era.
9:46
SPEAKER_02: Or isn't there something that like inherently nostalgic about Summer?
9:50
SPEAKER_03: Yeah, I don't know.
9:50
SPEAKER_03: I'm inclined to go Summer of 69 only because I feel like it sounds more like a summer banger, even though I do associate Boys of Summer with the 80s more.
9:59
SPEAKER_02: God, dude, we're torn on this one.
10:01
SPEAKER_02: So because I'm I'm with Don Henley on this one.
10:04
SPEAKER_03: Oh, you're going Don High?
10:05
SPEAKER_03: You know what?
10:05
SPEAKER_03: You well, I'll go Don Henley.
10:08
SPEAKER_02: This is a collaboration, so yeah, like the the it's just a better song, I think.
10:14
SPEAKER_02: I'm surprised to hear myself say that because I Summer in the 69 is a probably more well-known song, but yeah, it yeah, it kind of crescendos, you know.
10:23
SPEAKER_03: Yeah, yeah.
10:24
SPEAKER_03: I mean, it just it feels like summer to me, but I don't know if it's a banger.
10:28
SPEAKER_02: In the convertible, but I don't know.
10:30
SPEAKER_03: You know what?
10:31
SPEAKER_03: Who cares?
10:31
SPEAKER_03: This is hey, guess what?
10:32
SPEAKER_03: This is our this is our bracket.
10:34
SPEAKER_03: We can do whatever we want.
10:35
SPEAKER_03: It's our opinion.
10:36
SPEAKER_03: All right, we have your love is on a vacation for Ruin versus Take Me Home Tonight.
10:48
SPEAKER_03: This is another tough one.
10:50
SPEAKER_02: This is incredibly hard.
10:52
SPEAKER_02: I know.
10:57
SPEAKER_02: And then Outfield, right?
10:58
SPEAKER_03: The Outfield, your love.
11:00
SPEAKER_03: When you hear that Josie's on a vacant, yeah, that like you could like plow through a wall, you know.
11:06
SPEAKER_02: I think that says it all almost.
11:08
SPEAKER_03: But then take Take Me Home Tonight is like Take Me Home Tonight is really good.
11:13
SPEAKER_03: Here's where I want to give a little credit to your love.
11:15
SPEAKER_03: Is this the first song up until that point, and maybe for years on out after to mention liking older women?
11:22
SPEAKER_03: I mean, when do you ever hear that?
11:24
SPEAKER_03: I might have started the whole genre like because like every other song is like girls, she was only 17, you know, and he's like, Well, thank you.
11:33
SPEAKER_03: Give me a nice 30-something.
11:36
SPEAKER_02: This is very progressive.
11:37
SPEAKER_02: I like this.
11:38
SPEAKER_02: So, yeah, all right.
11:39
SPEAKER_02: Well, and and also, like, I don't like the be my little baby line.
11:43
SPEAKER_03: So, how about a little fun fact about this?
11:45
SPEAKER_03: So he says, just like Ronnie sang, and he's talking about Ronnie Specter of the Ronettes, who sings the song Be My Baby.
11:53
SPEAKER_03: Oh, and she is the one he hired her to come and sing that part.
11:57
SPEAKER_02: Now it's cooler, right?
11:59
SPEAKER_02: Now it's cooler.
12:01
SPEAKER_03: Fun?
12:02
SPEAKER_02: But I still don't like it.
12:03
SPEAKER_02: No, I'm not ongoing your own.
12:04
SPEAKER_03: Also, just a little note the keyboardist of the outfield is blind.
12:08
SPEAKER_03: He had something when he was younger, and he actually had surgery to remove his eyes.
12:13
SPEAKER_03: So blind musicians.
12:14
SPEAKER_03: Not not something you see every day.
12:16
SPEAKER_02: Well, I mean, we got Stevie Wonder, we got Ray Charles.
12:19
SPEAKER_03: Yeah.
12:21
SPEAKER_02: I don't know.
12:21
SPEAKER_02: His song Angel Eyes, it's like you probably were working at Eddy's and heard that song because I was using it to try to get someone to slow down.
12:30
SPEAKER_03: At Eddie's at Eddy's, yeah.
12:36
unknown: It's a memory.
12:39
SPEAKER_03: All right.
12:40
SPEAKER_03: Next up, we're gonna go Queen of Pop, Whitney Houston, back.
12:44
SPEAKER_03: We're doing it.
12:44
SPEAKER_03: We're doing a Houston off.
12:46
SPEAKER_03: How will I know?
12:48
unknown: How will I know?
12:52
unknown: How will I know?
12:55
SPEAKER_03: Versus I Wanna Dance.
13:02
SPEAKER_03: It's kind of the same song.
13:04
SPEAKER_02: I know.
13:05
SPEAKER_02: And what's funny, they can like just roll right into each other.
13:07
SPEAKER_02: So they're not gonna go, they're not gonna be in the running for the top, even though Whitney Houston is incredible.
13:13
SPEAKER_02: I think I want to dance with somebody.
13:14
SPEAKER_02: I want to dance.
13:15
SPEAKER_03: Let's do it.
13:16
SPEAKER_03: Let's put it on there.
13:17
SPEAKER_02: Okay.
13:17
SPEAKER_02: Can I say one thing about Whitney before we move on?
13:20
SPEAKER_00: Yeah.
13:20
SPEAKER_02: This here's a song that I remember being uh in this summer that was like wildly well, just like super calm song, uh cover.
13:29

SPEAKER_02: Oh, yes.
13:33
SPEAKER_03: That's like a summer banger.
13:35
SPEAKER_03: I don't know.
13:35
SPEAKER_03: It kind of seems like just like remember when Lauren Hill.
13:40
SPEAKER_02: I know, but I can just picture like crying on the way to the beach.
13:43
SPEAKER_03: Or what about that's what you want to invoke.
13:46
SPEAKER_02: And the other one.
13:47
SPEAKER_03: Were you crying on the way to the beach?
13:49
SPEAKER_03: Is that a real thing?
13:49
SPEAKER_02: Remember when Lauren Hill came out?
13:51
SPEAKER_02: That that like oh X Factor?
13:53
SPEAKER_02: No, the one that was like another one that was kind of like uh Oh, you're just too good to be true.
13:57
SPEAKER_02: No, killing me softly.
13:58
SPEAKER_03: Oh, yeah.
13:59
SPEAKER_03: Well, that was the Fujies.

14:34
SPEAKER_02: Does he do anything but summer hits?
14:36
SPEAKER_03: I know.
14:36
SPEAKER_03: You know what I mean?
14:37
SPEAKER_03: I actually was thinking we should crown the king or queen of 80 summer bangers, and I was thinking I was putting Billy Ocean on the list, even though he really only has like two songs that we know of.
14:46
SPEAKER_03: Kenny Loggins would be in that comic.
14:48
SPEAKER_03: Kenny Loggins would be there.
14:49

16:10
SPEAKER_02: I think they're both pretty ugly.
16:11
SPEAKER_03: Yeah, the other one I felt like if he didn't have that weird creepy long ponytail, like there was some potential there, but it's got a great bridge, it's just a great, great song.

17:26
SPEAKER_03: So let's say I would say for this one, but ride like the wind is a a more upbeat song, and summer night, too.
17:32
SPEAKER_02: It gives me like summer night, yeah.
17:34
SPEAKER_03: Let's do that one just because I love sailing and I would do it in a bracket for my one of my favorite songs of all time, but I think for these purposes, ride like the wind.

18:14
SPEAKER_03: You make my dreams come true.
18:15
SPEAKER_03: The thing about that, I don't know.
18:17
SPEAKER_03: I feel like I've gotten desensitized to it because it's so overused in the media, you know.
18:22
SPEAKER_03: When I watched this video, I was like, okay, I need to like go back to like first hearing this song.
18:27
SPEAKER_02: Yeah, so I well, the fact that it's used so much says something about it.
18:31
SPEAKER_02: Yeah.
18:32
SPEAKER_02: For one thing.
18:32
SPEAKER_02: Just like when I hear what's that journey song that was used at Seprano's finale, Don't Stop Believe.
18:38
SPEAKER_02: Yeah.
18:38
SPEAKER_02: That's that's such a great song, but like when I hear it, I change it because I'm like, ugh, too much.

18:44
SPEAKER_02: So I don't I don't know.

SPEAKER_03: I think it's walking on sunshine.
18:54
SPEAKER_02: All right, you sold me.
18:55
SPEAKER_03: Here's the thing, though.
18:56
SPEAKER_03: Like, you make my dreams come true would blow Ride Like the Wind out of the park.
19:00
SPEAKER_03: But we're only picking a winner.
19:02
SPEAKER_03: We're just trying to get to the bottom of uh the number one.
19:05
SPEAKER_03: So we gotta make some tough calls here.
19:08
SPEAKER_02: And this next one is incredibly well.
19:11
SPEAKER_03: Okay, this one is George Michaeloff.
19:13
SPEAKER_02: George Michaelov, yeah.

19:22
SPEAKER_03: Versus faith.
19:24
SPEAKER_03: Because I gotta have faith.
19:26
unknown: I gotta have a faith.
19:28
SPEAKER_03: It was faith the 80s, though, actually.
19:30
SPEAKER_03: Faith might have been 90s.
19:32
SPEAKER_02: You think if it was 90s, it was 1990.
19:35
SPEAKER_03: This is embarrassing that I didn't do my due diligence on this very small amount of research I had to do.
19:40
SPEAKER_02: I I think, I think faith, what if it's 90, then we have to cross it up.
19:45
SPEAKER_02: So I'll do the quick research right now.
19:46
SPEAKER_03: I'm looking it up too.
19:48
SPEAKER_02: Faith.
19:49
SPEAKER_02: Oh, what do we got?
19:50
SPEAKER_02: 87.
19:51
SPEAKER_03: Oh, okay.
19:51
SPEAKER_03: I really like Wake Me Up Before You Go Go, though.
19:54
SPEAKER_02: The only thing about this is like my uh my cousins had this like rock wall right next to their swing set, and we would put a stereo up there and we would listen to Faith over and over again.
20:03
SPEAKER_03: I mean, I can do Faith too.
20:06
SPEAKER_02: Well, it is Wake Me Up Before You Go Go because it's that it it's just that song, it does it makes you want to get up and go do something.
20:13
SPEAKER_02: It's like if from Zoolander when they're you know what I mean, pouring the gas or whatever.
20:17
SPEAKER_02: But like it's it's just kind of evokes that it's summer, let's get things going, let's wake up, let's go to the beach, let's let's not miss any of this.
20:24
SPEAKER_02: So I do I do love that too.
20:25
SPEAKER_03: Yeah, I think I think that's right.
20:27
SPEAKER_03: We have to remember what our task at hand is.
20:29
SPEAKER_02: Yes.
20:30
SPEAKER_03: We can't get distracted with our own feelings about these songs.
20:32
SPEAKER_03: Like, this isn't what is the best song.
20:34
SPEAKER_03: This is what is the best song for this.
20:37
SPEAKER_03: Okay.
20:38
SPEAKER_03: Next up, Africa.
20:56
SPEAKER_03: Versus break my stride.
20:59

21:36
SPEAKER_02: Would that be true?
21:38
SPEAKER_03: Look at that.
21:39
SPEAKER_02: Look at that.
21:40
SPEAKER_02: So I think I think it's that.

21:42
SPEAKER_03: Let's do Break My Stride.
21:43
SPEAKER_03: This is gonna be so controversial.

SPEAKER_03: Oh yeah, Uncle Tony's.
25:42
SPEAKER_02: Uncle Tony's other places.
25:44
SPEAKER_02: I remember I would always, always put red, red wine in that.
25:48
SPEAKER_02: Yeah.
25:48
SPEAKER_02: When that song was out, that was my favorite song as a kid.
25:50
SPEAKER_03: I love red, red wine, and I love their other one, their Elvis cover.
25:54
SPEAKER_02: Yeah, I can't help fall in love with you.
25:55
SPEAKER_02: Yeah.
25:55
SPEAKER_02: Yeah, that's a that's true.
25:57
SPEAKER_02: You be for it.
25:58
SPEAKER_03: I love that like you weren't they like British or something, these like white British men.
26:04
SPEAKER_03: These white British men like added this Jamaican player to everything.
26:08

SPEAKER_02: Oh god.
26:12
SPEAKER_03: So funny.
26:13
SPEAKER_03: All right.
26:13
SPEAKER_03: What do you think?
26:14
SPEAKER_03: So you're going, you're going with.
26:16
SPEAKER_03: I'm you know what?
26:17
SPEAKER_03: I think this is a decision that you need to make.
26:19
SPEAKER_03: I can't make this decision for you.
26:21
SPEAKER_03: And I'm willing to go with because you're emotionally attached.
26:23
SPEAKER_03: I'm really emotionally attached to the next ones that we're gonna do.
26:26
SPEAKER_03: So you take the lead on this one.
26:28
SPEAKER_02: It's your call.
26:29
SPEAKER_02: Oh my god.
26:29
SPEAKER_02: The next the next one, I wonder where you've been landing on that.
26:32
SPEAKER_02: But, anyways, I would say so the red and wine's not necessarily a summer banger.
26:38
SPEAKER_03: That's what that's what I was thinking.
26:39
SPEAKER_03: I think that easy lover just sounds lighter.
26:42
SPEAKER_02: It's summary.
26:43
SPEAKER_02: More summary.
26:44
SPEAKER_02: It's just it's yeah, it's summary, unfortunately.
26:46
SPEAKER_02: All right.
26:47
SPEAKER_02: All right.
26:47
SPEAKER_02: Well, I like this this next one.
26:49
SPEAKER_03: Don't worry, we can do another one where it's a different kind of thing.
26:52
SPEAKER_03: Okay, next up, you can call me Alfred.
27:09
SPEAKER_03: Versus walk of life.
27:21
SPEAKER_03: Both of these songs are very in my memories.
27:24
SPEAKER_03: This is like we used to drive to the beach, we'd listen to You Can Call Me Al.
27:28
SPEAKER_03: My dad would make us all pretend to pick an instrument, and we'd uh like I'd play the guitar, you know, my mom would sing.
27:34
SPEAKER_03: My dad was always like on the keyboards because he was driving, so that was easier, you know.
27:39
SPEAKER_03: Um, and you can call me ow to me is just summer.
27:43
SPEAKER_03: But walk of life is dire straits banger.
27:48
SPEAKER_02: It's a fucking banger.
27:50
SPEAKER_02: Dire Straits has some other bangers too.
27:52
SPEAKER_02: Like So Far Away, that's a great banger.

SPEAKER_02: Oh, I think Walk of Life.
27:57
SPEAKER_02: Okay.

28:38
SPEAKER_03: So when I was in college, I dated a kid named Jess for three months.
28:43
SPEAKER_03: Then we broke up, and then I ended up dating his roommate for two years.
28:49
SPEAKER_03: And I used to make jokes and be like, Did you used to sing Jesse's girl?
28:53

SPEAKER_02: He was coveting you.
29:02
SPEAKER_03: He was coveting.
29:03
SPEAKER_03: The video though for Jesse's girl, I believe that Rick Springfield was a good 10 to 25 years older than the people that were the subject, than Jesse and his girl.
29:13
SPEAKER_02: Springfield's still doing it though.
29:14
SPEAKER_02: Yeah.
