Speaker 1: I am Lindsay and with me today is my co
0:34
Speaker 1: host and husband Jim, who is my number one nomination
0:39
Speaker 1: for the Middle Aged Man Hall of Fame.
0:43
Speaker 2: No, I haven't always looked like a middle aged man.
0:47
Speaker 1: You have since I've known you.
0:48
Speaker 2: That is not true at all. I was a young
0:52
Speaker 2: man until you made me middle aged.
0:55
Speaker 1: Do you know what this is for? I'm getting you
0:57
Speaker 1: back for something. Do you know what it is?
0:59
Speaker 2: I don't know, ya. I mean, you've caused me all
1:01
Speaker 2: kinds of stress my whole life, which has made me
1:03
Speaker 2: go middlelegs now, So I'm curious what this is for.
1:06
Speaker 1: For not conversing with me and dinner tonight, you just
1:09
Speaker 1: sit and stared at me.
1:10
Speaker 2: That's not true. I took in everything that you said.
1:14
Speaker 1: But you didn't converse and I agreed with you. You just nodded.
1:18
Speaker 1: I mean I thought you would like speak words out
1:21
Speaker 1: of your mouth. Were we talking telepathically? Yes, I was,
1:25
Speaker 1: That's what it was. Okay, that's what I did not.
1:28
Speaker 1: I wasn't tuned into your frequency. What's the frequency, Kenneth, Yeah, exactly.
1:35
Speaker 1: So what's going on over there? It's been a day.
1:38
Speaker 1: I had, just a day where I had myself all
1:40
Speaker 1: worked up. I was super stressed all day long, and
1:44
Speaker 1: I got through the day. And now I'm like, now,
1:47
Speaker 1: why was I stressed out? I don't know.
1:50
Speaker 2: I know I always wonder that too. Why was I
1:51
Speaker 2: stressed out at work so bad?
1:53
Speaker 1: Because all day I was just wanting to get through
1:57
Speaker 1: the day. So essentially I wished my day away. Now
2:00
Speaker 1: I'm like, why they do that?
2:01
Speaker 2: Yeah, why did you do that? We never want to
2:03
Speaker 2: wish your life away.
2:04
Speaker 1: That's that I know. Well, now now I know.
2:09
Speaker 2: You could be like Eddie, Eddie what's his face? And
2:14
Speaker 2: driving your life away?
2:17
Speaker 1: Eddie what's his face?
2:18
Speaker 2: Eddie Rabbit, Eddie Rabbit. Yeah, for some reason, money was
2:21
Speaker 2: popped into my head and I knew Eddie Money. Didn't
2:23
Speaker 2: see him driving my way.
2:24
Speaker 1: We got a lot of Eddie's back in the day.
2:25
Speaker 2: We did. We had Eddie Rabbit and Eddie Money and
2:28
Speaker 2: Eddie and the cruisers yep, yep.
2:30
Speaker 1: Eddie was a name.
2:31
Speaker 2: Steady Eddie fast, fast, Eddie fast. Eddie Felson, Yep, I
2:38
Speaker 2: like the days back when there were a lot of Eddies.
2:40
Speaker 2: I don't know. I don't know. I don't know why.
2:42
Speaker 1: I guess did well, I know because then if you
2:47
Speaker 1: say it that way, then I'm assuming, right, you're implying
2:51
Speaker 1: the eighties. And yeah, me too.
2:53
Speaker 2: Edward Stratton the third.
2:58
Speaker 1: Uh. You know, Edward gives you a whole different feel
3:02
Speaker 1: than Eddie.
3:03
Speaker 2: Edward sounds regal. Eddie sounds like he just bought a
3:07
Speaker 2: sixer down at the local convenience store and is headed
3:10
Speaker 2: back to his trailer park. Oh.
3:11
Speaker 1: Absolutely? And is what and his camaro?
3:16
Speaker 2: Yes?
3:16
Speaker 1: His tea top?
3:17
Speaker 2: Yes, his te top camaro? Yes?
3:19
Speaker 1: Okay, Well what you got going on? I've shared about
3:22
Speaker 1: my stress.
3:24
Speaker 2: I lately have not had much stress at work.
3:27
Speaker 1: Wow, So I don't speak that out.
3:29
Speaker 2: I know lock on Wood bore my head. They're the
3:32
Speaker 2: same thing. Everything's been going fairly smoothly. We've got a
3:37
Speaker 2: lot of transition going on at work. My boss is
3:41
Speaker 2: retiring and I am taking over like half of her
3:44
Speaker 2: job plus what I do now, and then somebody else
3:46
Speaker 2: is taking over the other half of her job plus
3:49
Speaker 2: what she does now. And so I expected this to
3:51
Speaker 2: be a very stressful and intense time, and it actually
3:56
Speaker 2: hasn't been. It's actually been really pleasant, So I know you.
4:01
Speaker 1: Were made for this.
4:03
Speaker 2: I just, uh, yeah, I don't know what's going on
4:06
Speaker 2: because usually I'm grumpy and moody at work and having
4:09
Speaker 2: a bad day and feeling a lot of stress, and
4:11
Speaker 2: lately I'm not. And I'm sure that's probably gonna come
4:14
Speaker 2: back at some point. But I'm just riding the wave
4:16
Speaker 2: here and I'm enjoying it and I've I've got zero complaints.
4:20
Speaker 2: Lexapro's a good thing, oh man. Just uh yeah, no's
4:31
Speaker 2: everything's going good and I'm excited about doing this podcast
4:34
Speaker 2: tonight and all that other fun stuff.
4:37
Speaker 1: Well, yeah, looking forward to doing this podcast is really
4:40
Speaker 1: what got me through my day.
4:42
Speaker 2: Yeah.
4:42
Speaker 1: Just yeah, like okay, just focus, just focus on that.
4:45
Speaker 1: And now here we are so all good. All days,
4:49
Speaker 1: whether good or bad, do eventually come to an end.
4:52
Speaker 2: They do. Uh, And when it's a good day, it's
4:56
Speaker 2: sad that it comes to an end. When it's a
4:57
Speaker 2: bad day, you're kind of happy that it came to
4:59
Speaker 2: an end.
4:59
Speaker 1: So I got a lot of feedback on the Ted
5:03
Speaker 1: Bundy episode. Yeah, what'd you get so I'm thinking, because
5:07
Speaker 1: of the good feedback that I got, you should allow
5:09
Speaker 1: me to slip in some true crime every once in
5:12
Speaker 1: a while, you know.
5:14
Speaker 2: I mean, with the feedback that we got back, I
5:16
Speaker 2: may have to allow that.
5:18
Speaker 1: I have to give a shout out to my Aunt
5:21
Speaker 1: Jean and my cousin.
5:22
Speaker 2: Haley Oh, who listened to the show.
5:25
Speaker 1: He listened to every episode and Aunt Jean listened to
5:29
Speaker 1: the episode over the weekend where I talked about new
5:33
Speaker 1: kids on the Block in their Las Vegas residency, and
5:36
Speaker 1: you said that Nikodaba has gotten the last dime from you. Yes,
5:41
Speaker 1: she said she'll pay and she'll go with me.
5:43
Speaker 2: Okay, that's fine. I have no problem with that.
5:46
Speaker 1: So now we've got a plan to head on out
5:48
Speaker 1: to Vegas.
5:49
Speaker 2: That that is perfectly fine. It'll be the last ride
5:54
Speaker 2: of the of the Bartlet family.
5:58
Speaker 1: We would be like the Sober Hangover in Vegas.
6:05
Speaker 2: I thought you were going to say the Golden Girls
6:06
Speaker 2: in Vegas.
6:11
Speaker 1: Oh.
6:11
Speaker 2: So, speaking of last week's episode, I got a very
6:16
Speaker 2: very interesting message from our friend Dave at Totally eighties
6:22
Speaker 2: and nineties recall. He said that his father in law
6:28
Speaker 2: went to cinpral Washington University and Ted Bundy killed a
6:34
Speaker 2: lady there in Ellensburg where the college is.
6:41
Speaker 1: And his found the same time that the father in
6:44
Speaker 1: law was there.
6:45
Speaker 2: Yes, okay, and his father in law was stopped, detained
6:50
Speaker 2: and questioned for twelve hours, twelve hours. Yes, apparently he
6:55
Speaker 2: fit the height, weight and hair color of Bundy. But
6:59
Speaker 2: obviously they let him go because he would go on
7:01
Speaker 2: to father Dave's wife. But his wife's friend's mom was
7:12
Speaker 2: the sister of the girl who was killed.
7:14
Speaker 1: Oh no, I'm sorry about that.
7:17
Speaker 2: Susan Rancourt was the lady who was killed. And we've
7:20
Speaker 2: heard that name before.
7:21
Speaker 1: That name rings about right.
7:23
Speaker 2: So this happened in nineteen seventy four.
7:25
Speaker 1: So how long did they detain him? Twelve hours?
7:28
Speaker 2: Twelve hour? They questioned him for twelve hours.
7:30
Speaker 1: I mean, what could what could you say or do
7:35
Speaker 1: or how many questions could you ask me for twelve hours?
7:40
Speaker 1: That is excessive.
7:42
Speaker 2: Well, you've seen the true crime stuff, you know, the
7:45
Speaker 2: dateline stuff where they get in and they use hammer
7:47
Speaker 2: somebody for twelve or fifteen hours until they confess.
7:49
Speaker 1: Just get to the point, I mean, get to the point.
7:53
Speaker 1: So I'm sitting maybe for two hours, and if it
7:57
Speaker 1: goes past that I'm asking for an attorney, then you
8:01
Speaker 1: look guilty. Well, if they're holding me for twelve hours,
8:05
Speaker 1: they think I'm guilty anyway.
8:06
Speaker 2: That's true, that's true. But I guess he was able
8:09
Speaker 2: to talk his way out of no idea if he
8:11
Speaker 2: called an attorney or not.
8:12
Speaker 1: But right, because can you imagine after a while, I mean,
8:16
Speaker 1: I'm gonna get myself confused, you know me, right, I
8:20
Speaker 1: mean about the three hour mark, I'm going to start
8:23
Speaker 1: like recanting and retelling. And it's good.
8:26
Speaker 2: And that's how they end up throwing people in prison, right,
8:29
Speaker 2: because you can't remember everything that you said, or you
8:32
Speaker 2: may tell the story a tad bit differently, but you're
8:35
Speaker 2: still telling the truth, but you're using different words, right,
8:37
Speaker 2: and they can twist that on you.
8:39
Speaker 1: And I'm going to be hungry.
8:42
Speaker 2: Yeah, they'll probably bring you white castle or something.
8:45
Speaker 1: I'm gonna have to use the bathroom.
8:47
Speaker 2: Yeah, I'm gonna have to use the bathroom a lot,
8:49
Speaker 2: you know, because I drink a lot of water.
8:51
Speaker 1: I don't know, man, that's a crazy story. I didn't
8:56
Speaker 1: know where this was going. I thought maybe the father
8:58
Speaker 1: in law ran into some situation with ten Bundy. So
9:03
Speaker 1: I'm so glad that that's not how we well.
9:05
Speaker 2: I mean, the story I didn't tell you was the
9:07
Speaker 2: father in law was camping with Kurt Russell when Ten
9:09
Speaker 2: Bundy stole Kurt Russell's dinner.
9:12
Speaker 1: Now you may have missed your mark and you should
9:15
Speaker 1: have led with that.
9:17
Speaker 2: No, that is not true, but the story about him
9:20
Speaker 2: being questioned for twelve hours was true.
9:22
Speaker 1: Wow, my goodness.
9:24
Speaker 2: So that was great to hear from Dave. I love
9:28
Speaker 2: you know, hearing that stuff. So, oh, you know, thanks
9:31
Speaker 2: for the extra three to four minutes on the podcast today, Dave,
9:35
Speaker 2: we owe you one. Oh boy, Well, do you have
9:39
Speaker 2: anything else?
9:41
Speaker 1: I don't think so.
9:43
Speaker 2: All right, then let's get us started.
9:51
Speaker 1: This is a podcast that looks back on the decade
9:54
Speaker 1: of the nineteen eighties. We talk about things that were
9:57
Speaker 1: important to us as children and what we looked back
10:00
Speaker 1: on with fond memories as adults. Ultimately, this is a
10:06
Speaker 1: nostalgia podcast.
10:08
Speaker 2: Yes, and few things bring back nostalgia like music. And
10:11
Speaker 2: this is a music episode that we're gonna get to
10:13
Speaker 2: in a minute. But before we get to that, I
10:16
Speaker 2: want to add a little section here called the Middle
10:23
Speaker 2: aged Man Hall of Fame, which we brought up a
10:25
Speaker 2: few weeks ago. We started this in Gene Hackman and
10:29
Speaker 2: Morgan Freeman, where there are first two original inductees into
10:34
Speaker 2: the Middle Aged Man Hall of Fame. These are guys
10:37
Speaker 2: that look middle aged pretty much their whole life. I
10:39
Speaker 2: think they were probably born middle aged men, and they
10:42
Speaker 2: stayed that way basically until they died. So now I
10:47
Speaker 2: have another nomination, and here's what we're gonna do. I'm
10:49
Speaker 2: gonna nominate it. Okay, but then you're going to decide
10:52
Speaker 2: whether or not this person gets into the Middle Aged
10:55
Speaker 2: Man Hall of Fame or forever gets locked out. Okay, Okay.
11:01
Speaker 2: Today's nominee is none other than the Quaker oats Man himself,
11:07
Speaker 2: Wilfred Brimley, the beatus Man, the Beatus.
11:11
Speaker 1: I thought we had already inducted him.
11:14
Speaker 2: I may have mentioned him, but I don't know that
11:17
Speaker 2: we inducted him. So I am asking if Wilford Brimley
11:23
Speaker 2: can be inducted into the Middle Aged Hall of Fame.
11:26
Speaker 1: Oh, one hundred percent, he belongs in that group.
11:31
Speaker 2: I never saw him look young. He always looked fifty
11:35
Speaker 2: ish with gray hair, gray mustache, and balding. Yep, And
11:40
Speaker 2: he looked like that for about fifty years and then
11:44
Speaker 2: he died.
11:44
Speaker 1: Yeah, you've described it perfectly. That's absolutely what happened.
11:49
Speaker 2: So Wilford Brimley is now in the Middle aged Man
11:55
Speaker 2: Hall of Fame. So we now have Gene Hackman, Morgan Freeman,
12:00
Speaker 2: and Wilford Brimley. What do you think.
12:03
Speaker 1: I love it.
12:03
Speaker 2: It's a pretty good start. It's a you know, it's
12:06
Speaker 2: like Babe Ruth and Ty Cobb and Walter Johnson and
12:08
Speaker 2: Cy Young all being elected to the first class of
12:12
Speaker 2: the Hall of Baseball Hall of Fame. So that's our
12:15
Speaker 2: that's our Babe and Si and and Walter Johnson.
12:19
Speaker 1: What do you think which one of those men were
12:23
Speaker 1: Wilfrid Brimley. Oh, Babe Ruth, Yeah, Babe Ruth is Wilford
12:26
Speaker 1: Brooly okay yeah?
12:27
Speaker 2: Body shape wise?
12:28
Speaker 1: Now, when you think back on Wilford Brimley in Cocoon,
12:32
Speaker 1: uh huh, he really wasn't that old.
12:35
Speaker 2: I know, same thing with the natural he was not
12:40
Speaker 2: that all or the thing. I think he was like
12:42
Speaker 2: my age, right, And I don't look like I gotta
12:48
Speaker 2: eat Quaker oats for the rest of my life. Probably
12:51
Speaker 2: should eat Quaker roads for the rest of my life,
12:53
Speaker 2: but I don't look like that I don't have gray hair.
12:56
Speaker 1: No, you do not have gray hair.
12:58
Speaker 2: I've got a little bit of extra skin around my face,
13:01
Speaker 2: so I look younger than I should.
13:03
Speaker 1: Well, yeah, that's what my mom said. She used to
13:06
Speaker 1: tell me stay plump, yes, because then you always look young.
13:10
Speaker 2: Yes. So that that's my goal. Because you saw what
13:13
Speaker 2: happened to John Goodman, right, he was all she was
13:15
Speaker 2: all young looking, young looking, young looking. And then I
13:18
Speaker 2: don't know if he went on a diet or if
13:19
Speaker 2: he had that gastric bypass thing or whatever, but he
13:22
Speaker 2: lost a ton of weight and now he looks like
13:25
Speaker 2: a corpse. Yeah. I was gonna say, maybe he looks
13:30
Speaker 2: like he's been underwater for the last eight years.
13:33
Speaker 1: Yeah, he's definitely got way too much skin now.
13:35
Speaker 2: Yeah, and so they need to like suck that up
13:38
Speaker 2: or something.
13:38
Speaker 1: I don't know.
13:39
Speaker 2: I don't know. I don't know how they do that,
13:41
Speaker 2: but they need to go ahead and get rid of that.
13:46
Speaker 1: Uh.
13:46
Speaker 2: But yeah, Wilfrid Brimley Grade Eighties Guide, Natural Cocoon, The
13:50
Speaker 2: Thing Our House with Shannon Doherty. Yeah, so Wilfrid Brimley
13:56
Speaker 2: now a Hall of Famer. Absolutely. Okay, so you're ready
14:00
Speaker 2: to get to today's episode. The executive producer for today's
14:04
Speaker 2: episode is Patreon member iron Jawd Angel, our old friend
14:08
Speaker 2: from Twitter. Oh yeah, so she is the executive producer
14:12
Speaker 2: of this show and today's episode is on anti Valentine's Day.
14:19
Speaker 1: Songs Anti Valentine's Day songs. Now, I want to ask
14:25
Speaker 1: our listeners who do they think came up with this idea?
14:31
Speaker 2: Yeah, I would like to know that too. What they
14:33
Speaker 2: think Think it was you or do they think it
14:36
Speaker 2: was me. I'm going to give them about a second
14:39
Speaker 2: to think about it, and then I'm gonna spoil it
14:42
Speaker 2: for him and tell them.
14:44
Speaker 1: I'm telling them to yell it out.
14:46
Speaker 2: I know it was you, it was me, which is
14:49
Speaker 2: totally the opposite of what we are because I am
14:52
Speaker 2: anti Valentine's Day. You are pro Valentine's Day. But yet
14:56
Speaker 2: you turn this upside down on its head.
14:59
Speaker 1: Well, well, this is our seventeenth Valentine's Day together. Is
15:05
Speaker 1: that correct?
15:06
Speaker 2: That is correct?
15:07
Speaker 1: And this is what you've done to me, This is what.
15:09
Speaker 2: I've done to you. Yes hashtag winning.
15:13
Speaker 1: No no, no, no no, this is not going to
15:16
Speaker 1: ultimately work in your favor. Now, it's going to give
15:20
Speaker 1: you a great episode.
15:25
Speaker 2: Oh, my goodness. So I did put out a Patreon
15:30
Speaker 2: message or poll or whatever you want to call it,
15:32
Speaker 2: and just said, hey, what are some of your anti
15:36
Speaker 2: Valentine's Day songs? And one of our Patreon members, I
15:42
Speaker 2: don't know who it is. He goes by the name
15:44
Speaker 2: or they go by the name smoking sounds. I have
15:47
Speaker 2: no idea who that might be.
15:49
Speaker 1: Hmm, that sounds slightly familiar.
15:52
Speaker 2: But they put down Jesse's Girl and once Bitten Twice
15:57
Speaker 2: Shy is like anti Valentine's.
16:00
Speaker 1: Now I love the once Bitten Twice Shy.
16:02
Speaker 2: Well, Jess's Girl isn't a great Valentine's Day song either,
16:05
Speaker 2: because you're talking about stealing your friend's girlfriend. You know.
16:08
Speaker 2: That's that ain't cool? It should be anti Valentine's Day
16:11
Speaker 2: and anti guy code.
16:13
Speaker 1: Did you get any more?
16:14
Speaker 2: Nope, that was all I got.
16:15
Speaker 1: Okay, well, those are two good ones, but I.
16:17
Speaker 2: Put it out super late, so you had to be
16:19
Speaker 2: on top of things. But yeah, we'll be running more
16:21
Speaker 2: polls like that. So why don't you explain yourself on this.
16:26
Speaker 1: I'm going back to what we talked about in a
16:28
Speaker 1: minute ago. I've just been a ball of stress recently
16:31
Speaker 1: and Valentine's Day is about the last thing on my mind.
16:35
Speaker 1: And so when we were talking about what are we
16:38
Speaker 1: going to do this week? What's our show going to
16:40
Speaker 1: be on? This just popped into my mind and I thought,
16:43
Speaker 1: you know what, it would be unexpected for me to
16:47
Speaker 1: do this. People would be surprised, I think, and I
16:50
Speaker 1: think it might be kind of fun. Yeah, because I'm
16:54
Speaker 1: taking this week the anti Valentine's Day songs. You're taking
16:58
Speaker 1: next week, which is.
17:00
Speaker 2: Sappy love songs for Valentine's Day. You turned it upside
17:06
Speaker 2: down on its head. So I decided to do the same.
17:09
Speaker 1: Maybe you turn me upside down?
17:13
Speaker 2: Okay, good one. You threw me off.
17:20
Speaker 1: I know you don't know what to say, now, do you?
17:22
Speaker 2: I don't. No. I think it's funny that you decided
17:25
Speaker 2: to do this, and I decided to do the other thing.
17:27
Speaker 2: And so I let you pick all the songs on
17:30
Speaker 2: this list. You are letting me pick all the songs
17:35
Speaker 2: on the other list. Although I have reached out to
17:38
Speaker 2: Patreon members and said, hey, what are some of the
17:40
Speaker 2: songs that you'd put on the sappy love songs?
17:41
Speaker 1: Okay? Good?
17:42
Speaker 2: So if they choose one before next week, I will
17:48
Speaker 2: add it to the list.
17:49
Speaker 1: So I am a little concerned. I have got a
17:53
Speaker 1: lot of data here, and I'm a little concerned about
17:57
Speaker 1: how long this episode's gonna be.
18:01
Speaker 2: I'll start giving you this sign right here if I
18:02
Speaker 2: want you to stop, if you've given too much data.
18:06
Speaker 2: But no, this should be fun. I'm looking forward to
18:08
Speaker 2: the data you book because I don't know anything at all.
18:10
Speaker 2: So you have fifteen songs for this list? Are you
18:12
Speaker 2: ready to get to it?
18:15
Speaker 1: Let's bring it? Okay.
18:25
Speaker 2: So I'm curious how you picked these fifteen songs or
18:30
Speaker 2: what was your criteria, what were you looking for? Whatever?
18:33
Speaker 1: So you know that big fat book you've got that
18:36
Speaker 1: you sit and study all the time. Yes, I went
18:39
Speaker 1: to that book and I honestly just flipped through pages
18:46
Speaker 1: and pages of the charts in the nineteen eighties and
18:49
Speaker 1: things that jumped out to me. That's what I went with. Okay, Well,
18:53
Speaker 1: I mean it was scientific, it was very scientific, very scientific.
18:56
Speaker 1: Now there, the fifteen are in no particular or.
19:00
Speaker 2: They are not. You're not counting them down fifteen to one.
19:03
Speaker 2: You're just going, okay, alrighty, here we go, myself. You
19:18
Speaker 2: got you got a show.
19:35
Speaker 1: I know that song that is man on your Mind
19:38
Speaker 1: Little River Band.
19:40
Speaker 2: Yes, I love that song. I love the Little River Band.
19:42
Speaker 1: Why do I still struggle with the fact that they're
19:45
Speaker 1: Australian because it doesn't seem right.
19:50
Speaker 2: I don't know. I don't know why you just struggle
19:52
Speaker 2: with that. But yeah, that's a good song. That's a
19:55
Speaker 2: good anti Valentine's Day song. Right, He's got a he's
19:57
Speaker 2: got a baby, and she's got another man on her
20:00
Speaker 2: somebody mine? That ain't cool?
20:02
Speaker 1: No. It was released in March of nineteen eighty two
20:06
Speaker 1: as the third single from their sixth studio album, Time Exposure.
20:13
Speaker 1: Man on Your Mind peaked at number fourteen on the
20:15
Speaker 1: US Billboard Hot one hundred. Not good, not bad. It's
20:21
Speaker 1: kind of like eh. The song is featured in what
20:25
Speaker 1: movie do you know?
20:30
Speaker 2: Pop Gun?
20:33
Speaker 1: Sean Penn's Bad Boys.
20:36
Speaker 2: That's right. It's been so long since I've seen that movie.
20:40
Speaker 2: I forgot that. But yes, that is right.
20:42
Speaker 1: Glenn Fry okay listen to this famously praised The Little
20:46
Speaker 1: River Band as the best singing band in the world,
20:51
Speaker 1: really highlighting their exceptional vocal harmonies during a performance in Australia,
20:58
Speaker 1: and endorsement that showcase his deep respect for their music.
21:02
Speaker 2: Well, yeah, because the Eagles were a great harmonizing band.
21:05
Speaker 2: So I'm blown away that he said the same thing
21:07
Speaker 2: about Little River.
21:08
Speaker 1: I mean, I feel like Glenn Fry, He's not going
21:11
Speaker 1: to throw out compliments unless it's the God's honest.
21:14
Speaker 2: Tree, right. No, I would agree with that.
21:16
Speaker 1: So I thought that was pretty interesting. And I think
21:20
Speaker 1: they're highly underrated.
21:22
Speaker 2: Yes they are. They're they're off forgotten, yes, so I'd
21:27
Speaker 2: like to bring them back to the conscious of the
21:31
Speaker 2: listening audience. But this time you did, so I'm glad
21:35
Speaker 2: that you. Yeah, awesome. So anything else on that uh
21:41
Speaker 2: on that their song.
21:42
Speaker 1: I'm going to make a conscious effort to listen to
21:45
Speaker 1: Little River Band a little bit more than I did.
21:47
Speaker 2: Okay, I have their greatest hits on CD. If you
21:49
Speaker 2: want to listen to this, Okay, there you go. All right,
21:52
Speaker 2: Are you ready to move on to your next one?
21:54
Speaker 3: I'm ready.
22:21
Speaker 1: I don't know that this song needs any introduction, but
22:25
Speaker 1: it stopped dragging my heart around. Stevie Nicks and Tom Petty.
22:30
Speaker 2: I love me some Tom Petty.
22:33
Speaker 1: So this song was released as the first single from
22:37
Speaker 1: Stevie's debut solo album, Bella Donna Yes in nineteen eighty
22:41
Speaker 1: one Good Job. The track is the album's only song
22:46
Speaker 1: that was neither written nor co written by Stevie Nicks.
22:50
Speaker 1: It was written as a Tom Petty and the Heartbreaker song.
22:54
Speaker 2: Oh Wow, so he gave it to Stevie huh.
22:57
Speaker 1: Yep. The video was the twenty fifth twenty fifth, twenty fifth,
23:05
Speaker 1: twenty fifth v I didn't.
23:07
Speaker 2: Know Where you were going?
23:08
Speaker 1: There?
23:10
Speaker 3: Oh?
23:11
Speaker 1: The video was the sorry.
23:15
Speaker 2: I Know where You're Going. The video was the twenty
23:17
Speaker 2: fifth video that was ever played on MTV. Is that
23:19
Speaker 2: where You're Going?
23:20
Speaker 1: On August first, nineteen eighty one. Okay, So, Tom Petty
23:24
Speaker 1: and Stevie Nicks also sang together on the songs do
23:29
Speaker 1: you know?
23:31
Speaker 2: I don't know the song? Do you know?
23:33
Speaker 1: Do you know the songs they sang together.
23:35
Speaker 2: Yes, stop Dragging My Heart Around.
23:37
Speaker 1: Okay, Insider Okay, do you know that one that's from
23:47
Speaker 1: Petty's album Hard Promises yep?
23:50
Speaker 2: Okay?
23:50
Speaker 1: And I Will Run to You from Stevie Nick's album
23:54
Speaker 1: The Wild Heart.
23:55
Speaker 2: I thought that was Brian Adams.
23:58
Speaker 1: Apparently they covered it before Brian. Okay. The song peaked
24:04
Speaker 1: at number three on the American Billboard Hot one hundred
24:07
Speaker 1: for six weeks Nicks's biggest solo hit and The Heartbreaker's
24:14
Speaker 1: biggest hit as well.
24:16
Speaker 2: Really, no, it's not The Heartbreaker's biggest hit as well.
24:19
Speaker 2: Well maybe it is.
24:23
Speaker 1: However, in the UK, the song only managed to peak
24:27
Speaker 1: at number fifty on the UK Singles Chart.
24:31
Speaker 2: Huh interesting do you think?
24:32
Speaker 1: So you're you're are you contesting this?
24:35
Speaker 2: No, because what I was thinking was free falling And
24:38
Speaker 2: but that's Tom Petty solo. That's not the Heartbreaker.
24:41
Speaker 1: We're talking about Petty and the Heartbreak.
24:43
Speaker 2: Right, So okay, so that makes sense.
24:45
Speaker 1: So Stevie Nicks has been quoted as saying Tom Petty
24:49
Speaker 1: was her best friend. She described him as someone who
24:54
Speaker 1: gave honest advice without judgment and inspired her song Heard Advice.
25:00
Speaker 2: So I just feel like Tom Petty would have just
25:02
Speaker 2: been a cool dude to hang out. Oh, you know,
25:04
Speaker 2: would have just been like chill and like, hey man,
25:07
Speaker 2: no judgment here, tell me how you're feeling kind of thing.
25:10
Speaker 1: She said she was bummed that he did his last
25:13
Speaker 1: tour because I guess they knew his health wasn't great
25:17
Speaker 1: and she had wished that he would have just stayed
25:19
Speaker 1: home and you know, enjoyed the last few I don't
25:25
Speaker 1: know if it was months or years that he had
25:27
Speaker 1: with maybe friends and family instead of going out on
25:30
Speaker 1: their own.
25:30
Speaker 2: But she said that was Tom. Yeah, the commate professional,
25:33
Speaker 2: that's what he did. So did she say anything whether
25:37
Speaker 2: or not she liked stop dragging my car around by
25:42
Speaker 2: weird owl?
25:43
Speaker 1: No? But you know she hated it, you know she did.
25:49
Speaker 2: Oh boy, all right, I love that song. I love
25:52
Speaker 2: Stevie Nicks, I love Tom Petty, So it's on for me.
25:56
Speaker 1: I love it.
25:58
Speaker 2: Sane, all right, let's go on to your next one.
26:02
Speaker 2: Then let's do it.
26:07
Speaker 1: God, Jack worn journey not just never. Did he just
26:37
Speaker 1: say something about Jack?
26:39
Speaker 2: Yeah, he said, got a wife and kids in Baltimore, Jack.
26:42
Speaker 1: Is this where your mom got the idea to call
26:45
Speaker 1: your dad? Jack?
26:46
Speaker 2: I don't think so. Okay, Uh, but he went out
26:48
Speaker 2: for a ride and he never went back. So that's
26:51
Speaker 2: certainly an anti Volentine's Day song.
26:53
Speaker 1: Definitely not your dad. Okay, this is Hungry Heart Bruce
26:58
Speaker 1: Springsteen the ball.
27:01
Speaker 2: So I want you to think back to something. So
27:03
Speaker 2: I want you to compare this song as opposed to
27:07
Speaker 2: like his later songs like Streets of Philadelphia or whatever.
27:11
Speaker 2: And is it not like al Pacino's voice in the
27:14
Speaker 2: Godfather compared to al Pacino's voice in anything that he does.
27:18
Speaker 1: Now, Okay, are you setting me up?
27:20
Speaker 2: I am not setting you up?
27:22
Speaker 1: You see my note?
27:23
Speaker 2: No, I haven't you have something like that.
27:25
Speaker 1: Springsteen's voice was slightly sped up on the recording, producing
27:29
Speaker 1: a higher pitched vocal.
27:32
Speaker 2: Okay, that makes sense.
27:34
Speaker 1: That was not his true singing way.
27:37
Speaker 2: Because that sounded way different than anything else.
27:39
Speaker 1: I know, right, it sounded his voice sounded much more kirmity.
27:46
Speaker 1: I was gonna say, poppy hi. Hungry Heart is on
27:52
Speaker 1: Bruce Springsteen's fifth album, called The River. It was released
27:57
Speaker 1: as the album's lead single in nineteen eighty. Yes, this
28:02
Speaker 1: to me sounds like it easily could have come much
28:05
Speaker 1: later in the decade, so it surprised me to see.
28:08
Speaker 1: Nineteen eighty it became his first top five hit on
28:12
Speaker 1: the Billboard Hot one hundred, peaking at number five. It
28:16
Speaker 1: was his biggest hit until Dancing in the Dark hit
28:20
Speaker 1: number two in nineteen eighty four, and in the subsequent
28:24
Speaker 1: Rolling Stone reader's poll, Hungry Heart was voted best single
28:28
Speaker 1: of the year.
28:29
Speaker 2: Really, uh huh interesting?
28:32
Speaker 1: Okay, So Bruce Springsteen wrote the song and he wrote
28:36
Speaker 1: it for the Ramones. Oh way, but Bruce's manager was
28:41
Speaker 1: tired of Bruce giving away all of his good.
28:44
Speaker 2: Songs like.
28:46
Speaker 1: Blinded by the Light yep, And he said, uhh, no,
28:49
Speaker 1: you're keeping this one. He can tell he knew, okay.
28:53
Speaker 1: John Lennon, on the day that he died, said he
28:58
Speaker 1: thought Hungry Heart was a great record, and even compared
29:02
Speaker 1: it to his single Just Like Starting Over, which was
29:07
Speaker 1: actually released three days after Hungry Heart. Oh wow, I
29:11
Speaker 1: feel like that would be a huge compliment.
29:14
Speaker 2: It would be, But Hungry Heart's way better than Just
29:16
Speaker 2: Like Starting Over.
29:17
Speaker 1: Well, I know, but you got to think. I mean,
29:19
Speaker 1: obviously nobody's going to think more of John Lennon than
29:22
Speaker 1: John Lennon.
29:24
Speaker 2: Yeah. Probably, So I.
29:26
Speaker 1: Feel like that's probably about the highest compliment he could
29:29
Speaker 1: pay someone. But yeah, but he said that the day
29:32
Speaker 1: he died.
29:34
Speaker 2: That's sad. Yeah, that's sad. And he didn't have to die, No,
29:39
Speaker 2: he did not. All right, are you ready to move
29:43
Speaker 2: on to the next one?
29:43
Speaker 1: I am ready?
29:44
Speaker 2: All right, here we go.
30:10
Speaker 1: What have you done for me? Late? Lee? Janet Jackson.
30:13
Speaker 2: The song is wild I swear.
30:18
Speaker 1: It was released January thirteenth, nineteen eighty six. And is
30:22
Speaker 1: from her third studio album Control. The song peaked at
30:27
Speaker 1: number four on the US Billboard Hot one hundred and
30:30
Speaker 1: was certified gold by the Recording Industry Association of America.
30:36
Speaker 1: It also peaked at number two on the US Dance
30:39
Speaker 1: Club Songs and topped the US Hot Black Singles chart.
30:44
Speaker 1: The song is loosely based on her feelings after her
30:51
Speaker 1: split from James DeBarge.
30:54
Speaker 2: Oh, I thought you were gonna say it was after
30:56
Speaker 2: her split from Willis on different trips.
30:59
Speaker 1: Do you know who choreographed this music video?
31:02
Speaker 2: Paula Abdul?
31:04
Speaker 1: Yes. I always think of them as.
31:06
Speaker 2: Foes because they have music at the same time, not
31:09
Speaker 2: just what Little Lynn's thought. So I don't know how
31:12
Speaker 2: I knew it was Paula Abdul, but it just made sense. Yeah,
31:16
Speaker 2: but I said choreographed, Yeah, yeah, that because who else
31:19
Speaker 2: would I know that would choreograph something? Right? But that
31:24
Speaker 2: beat is funky, isn't it. Listen, that's good stuff. I'm
31:36
Speaker 2: not a big change I am not either, but when
31:39
Speaker 2: I was listening to this, I was just like, that
31:43
Speaker 2: is a monky little beat.
31:45
Speaker 1: I mean it works for this countdown?
31:47
Speaker 2: Yes? Yes? What have you done for me lately? Is
31:50
Speaker 2: a good song for Anti Valentine's Day because she's basically saying,
31:56
Speaker 2: you ain't done squat in a long time, dude, so
31:58
Speaker 2: you're better up and do something that's right, do something
32:03
Speaker 2: all right? So it hit number four? Did you say
32:05
Speaker 2: on the hut one hundred?
32:06
Speaker 1: Yes?
32:07
Speaker 2: All right, number four? I'm pretty sure you did. I'm
32:11
Speaker 2: pretty sure you said number four.
32:13
Speaker 1: Yes, it did, all right?
32:16
Speaker 2: So anything else on Michael's Sister before we move.
32:20
Speaker 1: On, moving right along, don't oh man? I love that song.
32:47
Speaker 1: I love that voice. That is love is a battlefield,
32:51
Speaker 1: Pat Benatar.
32:53
Speaker 2: Yes. One of the great videos of the early eighties,
32:57
Speaker 2: for sure.
32:57
Speaker 1: It was released on September twelfth, nineteen eighty three, as
33:02
Speaker 1: a single from Benatar's live album Live from Earth.
33:08
Speaker 2: Live from Earth.
33:09
Speaker 1: I don't know where else you could be live from
33:11
Speaker 1: but she was Live from Earth, though the song itself
33:15
Speaker 1: was a studio recording song Live. I don't understand, but
33:20
Speaker 1: that's okay, don't question Pat.
33:22
Speaker 2: I don't understand musicians.
33:24
Speaker 1: But the single was Benatar's second US million seller and
33:29
Speaker 1: is tied with We Belong as her highest charting single
33:32
Speaker 1: in the US. It topped Billboard's Mainstream Rock Tracks chart
33:38
Speaker 1: for four weeks and peaked at number five on the
33:40
Speaker 1: Billboard Hot one hundred. In December of eighty three, the
33:45
Speaker 1: song was ranked at number thirty in VH one's list
33:50
Speaker 1: of the one hundred Greatest Songs of the decade.
33:55
Speaker 2: That's a little high, Let's go it a little far.
33:57
Speaker 1: Love Is a Battlefield went on to sell over one
34:01
Speaker 1: million records.
34:04
Speaker 2: So tell me why you pick this song for your
34:06
Speaker 2: anti Valentine's Day list? Is this a truck question?
34:14
Speaker 1: No, because love's not supposed to be a battlefield. You
34:20
Speaker 1: shouldn't be shooting oozies at each other.
34:22
Speaker 2: When I hear love is a battlefield, I think of
34:24
Speaker 2: like the Civil War battlefield, with like cannons going off
34:27
Speaker 2: and stuff, and people dressed in different attire just battling
34:31
Speaker 2: each other out.
34:32
Speaker 1: Okay, I got something else for you.
34:34
Speaker 2: Okay.
34:35
Speaker 1: The video was one of the first ever to feature
34:39
Speaker 1: the use of dialogue.
34:41
Speaker 2: Well, yeah, she does talk during that song.
34:43
Speaker 1: Right, How cool is that? You're interesting breaking barriers left
34:47
Speaker 1: and right?
34:48
Speaker 2: Apparently she was was She was breaking barriers and she
34:53
Speaker 2: was also a heartbreaker.
34:54
Speaker 1: She won a Grammy for this.
34:56
Speaker 2: Yes, I knew that. I did know that. I knew
34:59
Speaker 2: a few things about this song, but that video, good video.
35:04
Speaker 1: The only thing you should be shooting at each other
35:06
Speaker 1: or those little cupid.
35:08
Speaker 2: Air stupid arrows. Yes, that's what I was going to suggest,
35:10
Speaker 2: but they weren't. They were shooting cannons. That's why this
35:12
Speaker 2: is an anti Valentine station. Yes, all right, you got
35:16
Speaker 2: anything else on? Uh? Pat Benatar before we move on?
35:21
Speaker 1: No, man, it's Pat Benatar.
35:25
Speaker 2: Maybe tell that story off air? So uh your next song?
35:31
Speaker 2: You ready? He's been.
35:53
Speaker 1: You don't give it anytime he needs. Speaking of funky beats,
35:59
Speaker 1: cold Hearted, Paula Abdul, I love this song, and I
36:04
Speaker 1: loved almost every song on that album. So cold Hearted
36:09
Speaker 1: was released in June of eighty nine as the fifth
36:12
Speaker 1: single from Paula Abdul's debut album, Forever Year Girl.
36:17
Speaker 2: That was a huge album. Love it.
36:20
Speaker 1: It topped the Billboard Hot one hundred chart for one
36:23
Speaker 1: week in September of eighty nine, giving Abdul her third
36:28
Speaker 1: US number one single. Cold Hearted was ranked sixth on
36:32
Speaker 1: Billboard's year end Hot one hundred ranking of eighty nine.
36:36
Speaker 1: It spent a total of listen to this twenty one
36:41
Speaker 1: weeks in the Billboard Hot one hundred.
36:45
Speaker 2: Twenty one week that's a long time. It is a
36:48
Speaker 2: long time. In nineteen eighty nine, nineteen ninety and maybe
36:52
Speaker 2: even ninety one, Paula Abduel could do no wrong. Whatever
36:55
Speaker 2: she put out on a record was a massive hit.
37:00
Speaker 1: Yep, and uh, that was one of them we talked about.
37:04
Speaker 1: She was opening for New Kids on the Block a
37:07
Speaker 1: couple of summers ago when we saw them here in Atlanta,
37:11
Speaker 1: and of course it was hot. I mean, I will
37:13
Speaker 1: say it was what June in Atlanta is not a
37:17
Speaker 1: fun time to be performing outside. No, but she had
37:21
Speaker 1: an oxygen tank that they rolled out to her on stage,
37:25
Speaker 1: and she put the little mask over her face and
37:28
Speaker 1: she got a couple of hits of oxygen.
37:30
Speaker 2: She did, but then she was dancing a fool again
37:33
Speaker 2: later on.
37:33
Speaker 1: I've never seen that, but good for her. You got
37:35
Speaker 1: to do what you gotta do.
37:37
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, I just wish that she would have had
37:39
Speaker 2: a little bit more time and she would have sang
37:41
Speaker 2: more of her songs and not talk so much. She
37:45
Speaker 2: was almost like a nickelback. Oh yeah, she nickelbacked it,
37:50
Speaker 2: but yeah she did. She nickeled back for sure.
37:52
Speaker 1: I think that's probably about the best she can do well.
37:57
Speaker 2: I would say that the best you can do is
37:59
Speaker 2: fall in love and not with a cold hearted snake.
38:04
Speaker 2: Are you saying cold hearted snakes aren't good for Valentine's Day?
38:07
Speaker 2: Is that what you're saying?
38:08
Speaker 1: You're good for this list but not for yours?
38:12
Speaker 2: Alrighty?
38:40
Speaker 1: That is Jeopardy by the Greg Kin Band, another weird
38:45
Speaker 1: alse song. I know That's exactly what I was about
38:48
Speaker 1: to say. So. Jeopardy is a song from their nineteen
38:52
Speaker 1: eighty three album Kinspiracy.
38:56
Speaker 2: Love that Conspiracy, I get it, I get the If
39:00
Speaker 2: anybody gets puns and dad jokes, it's me.
39:04
Speaker 1: It's the dad in the room. Yes. It was the
39:07
Speaker 1: band's only top ten hit on the Billboard Hot one
39:10
Speaker 1: hundred Singles chart, reaching number two in May of eighty three.
39:15
Speaker 1: Do you know in May of eighty three? What song
39:18
Speaker 1: was number one May of eighty three? So there were
39:22
Speaker 1: a lot? Was it Culture Club? MJ's beat It? Ah?

Speaker 1: It hit number one on the Billboard Hot Club Dance
39:36
Speaker 1: Play chart in April of eighty three and crossed over
39:38
Speaker 1: to the top fifty of Billboard's Soul chart. The Soul
39:43
Speaker 1: chart surprised me.
39:44
Speaker 2: I'm surprised this is his only top ten hit because
39:46
Speaker 2: I really like the breakup song.
39:49
Speaker 1: The breakup song. Does he do that song?
39:51
Speaker 2: Yes?
39:54
Speaker 1: As we talked about already, A parody of the song,
39:57
Speaker 1: titled I Lost it Jeopardy on Jeopardy. I Lost on Jeopardy,
40:02
Speaker 1: was released by Weird Now on his eighty four album
40:06
Speaker 1: weird Al Yanka Vican three d Ken made a cameo appearance.
40:11
Speaker 1: Did you know that on the song's music video? I
40:14
Speaker 1: did not. He was driving the car into which weird
40:17
Speaker 1: Al is thrown after being ejected from the Jeopardy game show.
40:24
Speaker 2: Don Pardo was also on. Yes he was that video.
40:27
Speaker 2: Yes he was. Oh that's good stuff. Greg kN just
40:31
Speaker 2: recently passed away, sadly.
40:33
Speaker 1: Oh I don't remember that.
40:34
Speaker 2: I'm sorry, but yeah, great song, great song that in
40:39
Speaker 2: the breakup song. I can I can just listen to
40:42
Speaker 2: those all day long. All right? You ready for your
40:46
Speaker 2: next song after a Jeopardy. So that's some moving and
41:19
Speaker 2: grooving songs on this list.
41:21
Speaker 1: And let me point out this song is number eight
41:23
Speaker 1: on our fifteen song countdown and it is looking for
41:27
Speaker 1: a New Love Jody Waltley earlier.
41:30
Speaker 2: So you said it wasn't a countdown.
41:32
Speaker 1: It's not, but I feel like I should give people
41:34
Speaker 1: a marker about how far we are into the episode.
41:37
Speaker 2: Okay, got it?
41:39
Speaker 1: So fifteen songs. This is number eight. Looking for a
41:43
Speaker 1: New Love was released in January of nineteen eighty seven
41:46
Speaker 1: as the first single from her debut album. The song
41:50
Speaker 1: reached number two on the US Billboard Hot one hundred
41:54
Speaker 1: and charted in several countries worldwide, peaking at number one
41:58
Speaker 1: in Canada. I did not know this. I'm thinking you
42:04
Speaker 1: probably did, but here we go. One of the song's
42:07
Speaker 1: key phrases became a popular saying, Asta la vista baby
42:13
Speaker 1: was used by Arnold Schwarzenegger in Terminator Too.
42:17
Speaker 2: Yeah, this was about four years before that movie came out.
42:19
Speaker 2: So yeah, she does use osta lavista baby. That's great,
42:24
Speaker 2: that's cool.
42:24
Speaker 1: I love that.
42:25
Speaker 2: Yeah, I love me some Jody Wattley. This might be
42:27
Speaker 2: the first time we featured her on our show.
42:29
Speaker 1: I feel like it is.
42:31
Speaker 2: But yeah, I always dug her music. It was always
42:34
Speaker 2: fun and kind of, you know, danceable. Not that I danced,
42:36
Speaker 2: but I kind of nod my head back and forth.
42:38
Speaker 2: You And yeah, this is a good grooven song. Okay,
42:42
Speaker 2: nice little beat. You got anything else?
42:44
Speaker 1: Now? I didn't really have much on it. But that's
42:46
Speaker 1: what I got.
42:48
Speaker 2: So did you know that Jody Wattley, before her solo career,
42:55
Speaker 2: was part of the group Shalamar.
42:58
Speaker 1: No, I did not.
42:59
Speaker 2: Yeah, she was part of the group Shalamar.
43:02
Speaker 1: I had no idea.
43:04
Speaker 2: Yeah, she kind of had it going on and then
43:08
Speaker 2: kind of went on her own. As Patty LaBelle might sing.
43:13
Speaker 1: That's kind of cool. So yeah, what did Shalamar do.
43:19
Speaker 2: Dancing in the sheets?
43:20
Speaker 1: Oh? There you go?
43:22
Speaker 2: Yeah, you know that song, of course, So yeah, Jody
43:26
Speaker 2: wattlee Shalamar and then Jody Wattley on her own with
43:30
Speaker 2: she was looking for a new love, not only looking
43:32
Speaker 2: for a new career, but looking for a new love.
43:35
Speaker 2: So why'd you pick that for your Valentine? Anti Valentine?
43:38
Speaker 1: She's got a wondering eye. She's looking.
43:41
Speaker 2: No, he did her wrong, so that's why she's looking.
43:44
Speaker 1: Well, she could have forgave him?
43:47
Speaker 2: Would you have forgiven him? So part of the lyrics say,
43:51
Speaker 2: was she hot? Did she turn you on? Oh? So
43:55
Speaker 2: are you forgiving of that? I didn't think so. Now
43:59
Speaker 2: so now you're on old Jody's side.
44:00
Speaker 1: I got mad. We were watching a TV show a
44:04
Speaker 1: week or so ago, and out of the blue. I
44:07
Speaker 1: saw a ladies bear heine. Then I ain't got and
44:13
Speaker 1: I got mad at you for that. I didn't do anything,
44:17
Speaker 1: I know, but you were there.
44:20
Speaker 2: If I hadn't been there, it would have been okay.
44:22
Speaker 1: No, I still would have been irritated, but I would
44:24
Speaker 1: have been slightly lessening.
44:25
Speaker 2: But you wouldn't have yelled at me.
44:26
Speaker 1: I mean, her whole butt was about the size of
44:29
Speaker 1: half of mine.
44:34
Speaker 2: I didn't notice.
44:35
Speaker 1: Yeah, I know. I looked over and you were.
44:37
Speaker 2: I was on my phone looking down.
44:39
Speaker 1: You probably wouldn't even have seen it if I hadn't
44:41
Speaker 1: have flipped out.
44:42
Speaker 2: No, I wouldn't have. So now you're on Jody Wattley's side,
44:45
Speaker 2: is what you're saying. Yes, okay, girl, I got you
44:48
Speaker 2: all right. Are you ready to move on to number
44:50
Speaker 2: seven like we ride it on our number nine?
44:53
Speaker 1: I go, uh, number seven? We started at fifteen.
44:57
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, we're going counting down. Even though it's not
44:59
Speaker 2: a countdow.
45:00
Speaker 3: It's not.
45:08
Speaker 1: Hard swallow Mai.
45:16
Speaker 2: Golf and.
45:29
Speaker 1: I think this is a perfect song for my anti
45:32
Speaker 1: Valentine's Day list. It is Hardened my Heart by quarter Flash.
45:37
Speaker 2: What do you think about that name? Quarter Flash? I
45:38
Speaker 2: think that's kind of a cool name.
45:39
Speaker 1: Every time I have read it, leading up to right now,
45:44
Speaker 1: I have read quarter Fish. I've took a lot of
45:51
Speaker 1: time to make sure I said quarter Flash.
45:54
Speaker 2: You did the opposite of Ted Baxter.
45:57
Speaker 1: So Quarter Flash released their self titled debut album in
46:01
Speaker 1: nineteen eighty one that contained hard in My Heart. It
46:04
Speaker 1: was released as the album's first single in February of
46:10
Speaker 1: eighty two. It reached number three on the Billboard Hot
46:14
Speaker 1: one hundred, number one on the Billboard Rock Top Tracks chart,
46:19
Speaker 1: and number forty one on the Billboard Adult Contemporary Chart. Now,
46:26
Speaker 1: the song was originally released as a single in early
46:30
Speaker 1: nineteen eighty by Seafood Mama Seafood Mama, which might be
46:37
Speaker 1: why I kept reading it as quarter Fish. So Seafood
46:43
Speaker 1: Mama was the predecessor.
46:45
Speaker 2: Band to Quarter Flash.
46:49
Speaker 1: Yeah, is that is that right? Predecessor band? Yeah, so
46:52
Speaker 1: it was the band before quarter Flash, prior to prior
46:56
Speaker 1: to seafood Mama. Air do you think they like seafood?
47:01
Speaker 2: A seafood mom, I would think would like seafood and
47:05
Speaker 2: she would probably also like Quarterfish. So is that really
47:09
Speaker 2: why you're reading it as Quarterfish? I bet it that was?
47:11
Speaker 2: What do you think about that song. You like that song?
47:13
Speaker 1: I do like that song.
47:14
Speaker 2: I like that song. That's from one of the earlier
47:16
Speaker 2: memories of me being a kid and liking music. Really
47:20
Speaker 2: is a quarter Flash? Yeah, hard in my heart. I
47:23
Speaker 2: think it was a top ten song for the year,
47:24
Speaker 2: but I'm not positive on that.
47:26
Speaker 1: I think it's a good song. It's not one that
47:28
Speaker 1: I would just go out and listen to like any
47:31
Speaker 1: old day of the week, but I think it fits
47:34
Speaker 1: the fits the criteria, it fits the vibe, fits the
47:40
Speaker 1: vibe of this episode.
47:41
Speaker 2: Okay, yeah, I would agree with that heart. You know,
47:44
Speaker 2: if you're going to harden your heart, that means you're
47:46
Speaker 2: not happy, are you?
47:47
Speaker 3: Oh? No?
47:52
Speaker 2: So it was the number thirteen year in song in
47:56
Speaker 2: nineteen eighty two on the Billboard Hot One Number thirteen.
48:00
Speaker 2: Pretty big.
48:00
Speaker 1: That's a big deal.
48:02
Speaker 2: I mean we're talking a year, not a week. So
48:06
Speaker 2: all right, anything else on quarter Fish?
48:09
Speaker 1: Speaking of big songs, this next one takes the cake.
48:13
Speaker 2: Hey, let's see what we got.
48:18
Speaker 1: Very breathuty, very.
48:25
Speaker 2: Every one, dude, very step, beauty, watch you, every.
48:38
Speaker 3: Every word you see, very.
48:44
Speaker 2: Very not you.
48:45
Speaker 1: Stay okay, hang here with me for a minute, because
48:50
Speaker 1: I had a lot to say Okay, every breath you
48:53
Speaker 1: take the Police. It's on their fifth and final studio albums.
49:00
Speaker 2: Grytnicity two.
49:01
Speaker 1: There You Go. Song is written by Sting and the
49:05
Speaker 1: single was the biggest American and Canadian hit of nineteen
49:08
Speaker 1: eighty three, topping the Billboard Hot one hundred singles chart
49:12
Speaker 1: for eight weeks. In twenty nineteen, the song was recognized
49:19
Speaker 1: by BMI as being the most played song in radio history.
49:24
Speaker 2: Wow, So do you know why?
49:28
Speaker 1: Why?
49:29
Speaker 2: Because so I've gone back and forth on the song.
49:31
Speaker 2: I think I actually owned Secreticity two as a kid,
49:35
Speaker 2: and this song was obviously it was huge in nineteen
49:37
Speaker 2: eighty three, and I loved it all the way through.
49:40
Speaker 2: And then, you know, after you listen to a song
49:42
Speaker 2: so many times, eventually, after years and years and years,
49:44
Speaker 2: you kind of start getting sick of it. And I
49:48
Speaker 2: was at that point at one point. But now I've
49:51
Speaker 2: come back around and I was listening to this the
49:54
Speaker 2: other day and this is a perfect song.
49:59
Speaker 1: Oh wow.
50:00
Speaker 2: I don't say that about hardly anything, but this is
50:04
Speaker 2: a perfect song.
50:06
Speaker 1: In twenty ten, it was estimated to generate between a
50:10
Speaker 1: quarter and a third of Sting's music publishing income.
50:14
Speaker 2: I bet we probably owe him for that little portion
50:17
Speaker 2: we paid right there, right there.
50:19
Speaker 1: Let's s okay, So listen to this and there's we
50:25
Speaker 1: could there was an almost an endless amount of accolades
50:29
Speaker 1: that we could talk about for this song. I mean,
50:32
Speaker 1: we could give the rest of the episode to this song.
50:34
Speaker 2: So just know it was this big.
50:39
Speaker 1: But I want to talk about did he.
50:43
Speaker 2: He sampled it?
50:44
Speaker 1: He sampled it, but he didn't get permission first. So
50:49
Speaker 1: if you sample a song and you don't get permission,
50:52
Speaker 1: it's called stealing.
50:55
Speaker 2: So on probably not the only thing. Did He's ever stolen?
50:58
Speaker 1: Oh? Yeah, he's in prison for a reason. He used
51:01
Speaker 1: it and his nineteen ninety seven tribute to Biggie h
51:05
Speaker 1: I'll Be Missing You, And they ended up going to
51:09
Speaker 1: court and they struck a deal. Sting reportedly gets anywhere
51:16
Speaker 1: from two to five thousand dollars a day for the
51:20
Speaker 1: rest of his life for Diddy's use of every breath
51:27
Speaker 1: you take, not counting what he makes for every breath
51:31
Speaker 1: you take. Correct, two to five thousand dollars a day.
51:35
Speaker 1: I'll take two to five thousand a week, I know, right,
51:38
Speaker 1: can you imagine? Yeah, I'd be happy with two to
51:41
Speaker 1: five thousand a week. Heck do, I'll take the two, sting,
51:44
Speaker 1: give me the two. You can have the three, give
51:45
Speaker 1: me the two. I didn't do anything to deserve it,
51:48
Speaker 1: but I mean, yeah, perfect song, that's all I gotta say. Absolutely,
51:53
Speaker 1: it's a stalker song, though. Let's just get that clear.
51:56
Speaker 1: That's why you've put it on this list. Oh absolutely,
51:58
Speaker 1: it's a fantastic song. But let's don't get it confused.
52:02
Speaker 2: Right, it's not sending a positive message now.
52:05
Speaker 1: This is not a healthy relationship.
52:07
Speaker 2: Can't you see you belong to me? Or is it
52:10
Speaker 2: with me?
52:11
Speaker 1: Either way, girl, run immediately bypass the police station and
52:16
Speaker 1: buy yourself.
52:17
Speaker 2: A glock, yes, or a sord off shotgum which might
52:21
Speaker 2: be illegal, but buy it anyway. All right, You ready
52:25
Speaker 2: to move on to your number five? Song is.
52:49
Speaker 1: Myself?
52:55
Speaker 2: She's always got to do that?
52:56
Speaker 1: Owl owl. I hate myself. No, I should never do
53:01
Speaker 1: that again.
53:01
Speaker 2: Do what again?
53:02
Speaker 1: Ow? Yeah? No, it's like you stepped on.
53:04
Speaker 2: My toe or something.
53:07
Speaker 1: I hate myself for loving you. Joan Jet, This is
53:11
Speaker 1: Joan Jet and the Blackhearts Yes, And it was released
53:15
Speaker 1: as the lead single from their sixth studio album, Up
53:18
Speaker 1: Your Alley in nineteen eighty eight. You didn't know what
53:21
Speaker 1: I was doing.
53:21
Speaker 2: I didn't know what you were going to say. I
53:24
Speaker 2: was like, WHOA be careful of this is a family show.
53:28
Speaker 1: The song reached number eight on the US Billboard Hot
53:31
Speaker 1: one hundred jets, third and last single to reach the
53:35
Speaker 1: top ten. Now, I know you're gonna disagree with this,
53:38
Speaker 1: and you're gonna want to try to make me edit
53:41
Speaker 1: it out, but I have checked and double checked. The
53:44
Speaker 1: song spent twenty six weeks on the charts.
53:48
Speaker 2: I believe that, do you Yeah? I believe that this song.
53:52
Speaker 2: So she hadn't had like a big radio hit in
53:54
Speaker 2: a while when this came out, and this song, I'm
53:59
Speaker 2: not saying it's best better than I love rock and roll, Yeah,
54:01
Speaker 2: but it kind of rocks maybe a little bit more
54:04
Speaker 2: than I love rock and roll.
54:06
Speaker 1: Does Yes, I think you're right. So Mick Taylor, who
54:11
Speaker 1: was lead guitarist for the Rolling Stones back in the
54:14
Speaker 1: early seventies, played the guitar solo on this song.
54:18
Speaker 2: Really did you know that? I did not know that.
54:21
Speaker 1: So I know all the men all across America listening
54:24
Speaker 1: to this right now, they're about to all do a
54:27
Speaker 1: collective role eye roll.
54:30
Speaker 2: Why do you say they're about to do a collective
54:33
Speaker 2: because I.
54:34
Speaker 1: Did not know that. I hate myself for loving you
54:39
Speaker 1: is what they used to make the NBC Sunday Night
54:43
Speaker 1: Football song, Waiting all Day for Sunday Night. Yes, I
54:46
Speaker 1: did not know that.
54:47
Speaker 2: Yes, first it was Pink, and then it was Carrie, it.
54:51
Speaker 1: Was Pink faith Hill and now Carrie Underweld right, and
54:55
Speaker 1: Joan Jet still plays the guitar.
54:57
Speaker 2: Does she does? She get paid royalties for it, so
55:00
Speaker 2: she should. She just liked jone Jets singing I don't
55:03
Speaker 2: need to see Kerrie Underwood or faith Hill or actually
55:06
Speaker 2: pink pink version kind of rock. I kind of liked
55:08
Speaker 2: Pink due when they first started with Sunday Night Football.
55:13
Speaker 2: But uh, but yeah, that is uh, that is the
55:16
Speaker 2: tune to Sunday Night Football.
55:18
Speaker 1: I did not realize that. I'm sorry, you're gonna take
55:21
Speaker 1: my man card away.
55:23
Speaker 2: I'm hoping that you never had a man card. Uh,
55:27
Speaker 2: but yeah, I love jone Jet. Our buddy Eric Shores,
55:32
Speaker 2: who wrote the book Life Goes On the Lessons We
55:36
Speaker 2: Learned from Eighties music, He is a huge jone Jet fan.
55:42
Speaker 2: And you, in fact had asked me, did jone Jet
55:44
Speaker 2: only do covers? Back in the day, and he wrote
55:48
Speaker 2: a big, long email saying, no, she didn't. Here's a
55:50
Speaker 2: bunch of stuff that she did do that was just hers.
55:54
Speaker 2: And then here's a bunch of stuff that she did
55:55
Speaker 2: as covers. Which, by the way, that book is out
56:00
Speaker 2: and I would highly recommend you go get your copy
56:02
Speaker 2: of that. Life goes on the lessons we learned from
56:04
Speaker 2: eighties music.
56:05
Speaker 1: Absolutely. Is it on Amazon, it is.
56:07
Speaker 2: It's anywhere that you can buy a book.
56:09
Speaker 1: Go get it.
56:10
Speaker 2: Yep. I would highly recommend it.
56:12
Speaker 1: Okay, counting down now we're to number four. The bottom
56:18
Speaker 1: is worth the love. Who's Crying Now? Journey?
56:48
Speaker 2: You said the other day that we don't have enough
56:50
Speaker 2: Journey on our podcast, and now here you go, you're
56:53
Speaker 2: you're putting it in there.
56:54
Speaker 1: I had to go find one. I had to find
56:55
Speaker 1: a Journey song to get on here. So Who's Crying
56:59
Speaker 1: Now was written by Jonathan Cain and Steve Perry. It
57:03
Speaker 1: was released in nineteen eighty one as the first single
57:07
Speaker 1: from Escape, and reached number four on both the Billboard
57:11
Speaker 1: Hot one hundred and the Mainstream Rock Tracks charts. So
57:17
Speaker 1: Steve Perry said the chorus pomped into his head while
57:22
Speaker 1: he was driving to La, and so he pulled out
57:26
Speaker 1: his mini cassette player recorder and recorded while he was driving,
57:33
Speaker 1: but he was stopped on the lyrics. So that's when
57:36
Speaker 1: he went over to Jonathan Kane's house, who stepped in
57:40
Speaker 1: and helped round out the song and gave it the lyrics.
57:43
Speaker 2: Really, how cool is that? It is really cool.
57:45
Speaker 1: Driving down the road with his little mini cassette player.
57:49
Speaker 2: That's a that's a great story, Dally. He had a voice,
57:52
Speaker 2: I mean still does still with us, but I mean
57:56
Speaker 2: you just hear that voice and you instantly know who
57:59
Speaker 2: it is.
58:00
Speaker 1: Okay, I've got something else that I feel like people
58:03
Speaker 1: are going to be lying. Seriously, she's such an idiot.
58:08
Speaker 1: Did you know that Journey came from Santana? No?
58:14
Speaker 2: I did not.
58:15
Speaker 1: Neils shown everybody he was.
58:18
Speaker 2: In He was in Santana. Yes, I did not know that. Yes,
58:22
Speaker 2: you'd think I would, but I didn't know he was
58:23
Speaker 2: pre eighties.
58:24
Speaker 1: Have you ever thought that you could hear a little
58:27
Speaker 1: bit of Santana in their music?
58:29
Speaker 2: I never did think that.
58:30
Speaker 1: Well now you will.
58:31
Speaker 2: That thought never crossed my mind.
58:33
Speaker 1: Neil shown everybody.
58:37
Speaker 2: For those of you don't know, Lindsay's doing her impersonation
58:40
Speaker 2: of the Filipino singer who knows eighteen English words that
58:45
Speaker 2: sings for journey now and he just repeats him over
58:48
Speaker 2: and over and over again. And three of those English
58:52
Speaker 2: words are neil shown everybody, Yes, oh my goodness, he
58:59
Speaker 2: sings phonetically, yes he does, all right? Anything else on?
59:03
Speaker 2: Who's crying?
59:04
Speaker 1: Now?
59:04
Speaker 2: Why did you put this on the list because we
59:05
Speaker 2: probably shouldn't be crying on Valentine's Day?
59:08
Speaker 1: Right, So you shouldn't be crying on Valentine's Day, and
59:10
Speaker 1: you shouldn't be like wanting somebody to cry on Valentine's Day.
59:13
Speaker 1: That seems like they're a little bit like, Yeah, who's
59:16
Speaker 1: crying now? You get what you deserve. That's not a
59:18
Speaker 1: place you should come from.
59:20
Speaker 2: And I hate myself for loving you. That was a
59:23
Speaker 2: that's a good, violent anti Valentine's Day song too. Yes,
59:26
Speaker 2: I think the title just kind of explains, yes, explains
59:29
Speaker 2: it for you, right, all right? You ready to move
59:32
Speaker 2: on to your number three?
59:33
Speaker 1: Number three?
59:35
Speaker 2: Take my to them? That taint it lovege it love.
59:45
Speaker 1: No. I know've got to run away. I've got to
59:53
Speaker 1: get away.
59:54
Speaker 2: You don't want.
59:56
Speaker 1: Anymore tainted love, soft cell. This is my favorite song
1:00:01
Speaker 1: of the nineteen eighty This is.
1:00:03
Speaker 2: You love this song. I love this song so and
1:00:07
Speaker 2: it's a one hit wonder.
1:00:09
Speaker 1: It is a one hit wonder. So, but did you
1:00:11
Speaker 1: know that it was originally recorded by Gloria Jones in
1:00:17
Speaker 1: nineteen sixty four.
1:00:18
Speaker 2: Who's Gloria Jones?
1:00:19
Speaker 1: I don't know, but she recorded it in nineteen sixty four.
1:00:23
Speaker 2: I didn't know that either.
1:00:25
Speaker 1: In nineteen eighty one, riding the wave of the then
1:00:29
Speaker 1: dominant new wave sound, Tainted Love was released on Soft
1:00:34
Speaker 1: Cells album Non Stop Erotic Cabaret and became a major
1:00:39
Speaker 1: US hit during the Second British invasion.
1:00:42
Speaker 2: Was Liza Minelli part of that album?
1:00:47
Speaker 1: The song spent a then record breaking forty three weeks
1:00:52
Speaker 1: on the Billboard Hot one on That's insane. I mean,
1:00:55
Speaker 1: they may have been a one hit wonder, but boy, they.
1:00:57
Speaker 2: Hit it out of the part they did the forty
1:00:59
Speaker 2: three weeks. I don't think this was their normal style
1:01:02
Speaker 2: of music.
1:01:03
Speaker 1: So it first entered the chart at number ninety and
1:01:08
Speaker 1: after climbing up to number sixty four, it slipped and
1:01:12
Speaker 1: fell back to back to number one hundred, and then
1:01:17
Speaker 1: following a second week at number one hundred, the song
1:01:20
Speaker 1: began a steady comeback. After nineteen weeks on the chart,
1:01:24
Speaker 1: it finally broke into the top forty and went on
1:01:27
Speaker 1: to peak at number eight in the summer of eighty two.
1:01:30
Speaker 2: So here's the thing that doesn't happen. Once a song
1:01:33
Speaker 2: starts to fall, Oh, it never comes back. Plummet's at
1:01:36
Speaker 2: nine meters per second per second until it gets out
1:01:40
Speaker 2: of the top one hundred, I know. And so that's
1:01:42
Speaker 2: really weird that it fell and sat two weeks at
1:01:45
Speaker 2: one hundred and then started to climb and got all
1:01:47
Speaker 2: the way up to number eight. That's insane. That is
1:01:49
Speaker 2: really crazy. So that's got to be a record along
1:01:52
Speaker 2: with the forty three weeks and the hot one hundred.
1:01:54
Speaker 2: That's just wow, that's amazing. But I loved that song,
1:01:58
Speaker 2: and then I love how end it's It does a
1:02:01
Speaker 2: little Supremes baby baby.
1:02:03
Speaker 1: I know, don't you love that?
1:02:05
Speaker 2: Yeah? Great, great one hit, wonder great song. I understand
1:02:08
Speaker 2: why you put it on the list, because we shouldn't
1:02:10
Speaker 2: have tainted love on Valentine's Day. We should have a
1:02:13
Speaker 2: pure long Glenn Fries Real True Love, yes so, or
1:02:19
Speaker 2: Jody Wattley's Real Love.
1:02:20
Speaker 1: Here you go, all right?
1:02:23
Speaker 2: You ready to move on to number two, Let's do it.
1:02:53
Speaker 1: You Give Love a Bad Name bond Jovie.
1:02:56
Speaker 2: Now that's a song that rocks.
1:02:59
Speaker 1: It was least as the first single from their nineteen
1:03:02
Speaker 1: eighty six album Slippery When Wet, written by Jon bon Jovi,
1:03:08
Speaker 1: Richie Sambora and Desmond Child, about a woman who has
1:03:12
Speaker 1: jilted her lover. Yes, the anti Valentine's Day song.
1:03:18
Speaker 2: Well you don't want to be You don't want to
1:03:20
Speaker 2: spend Valentine's Day with somebody who gives love a bad name.
1:03:23
Speaker 1: The song reached number one on the US Billboard Hot
1:03:26
Speaker 1: one hundred on November twenty ninth of nineteen eighty six,
1:03:30
Speaker 1: and became the band's first number one hit.
1:03:34
Speaker 2: Do You Know What Song followed it as the number
1:03:36
Speaker 2: one hit No Living on a Prayer.
1:03:40
Speaker 1: I'm not surprised. Okay, listen to this. Here's something you
1:03:44
Speaker 1: don't know. The chorus tune of You Give Love a
1:03:47
Speaker 1: Bad Name was originally recorded by Bonnie Tyler under the
1:03:52
Speaker 1: title if You were a woman and I was a man,
1:03:57
Speaker 1: with different lyrics.
1:04:02
Speaker 2: Okay, I don't even know how to respond to that.
1:04:04
Speaker 1: Dissatisfied with its success in the US and the UK,
1:04:09
Speaker 1: Desmond child rewrote the song with Jon Bon Jovie and
1:04:12
Speaker 1: Richie Sambora. The chorus tune of You Give Lav a
1:04:18
Speaker 1: Bad Name was originally recorded by Bonnie Tyler under the
1:04:23
Speaker 1: title if You were a Woman and I was a man,
1:04:27
Speaker 1: but it had different lyrics.
1:04:30
Speaker 2: I don't even know how to respond to that. The chorus, well,
1:04:39
Speaker 2: you know what, Bonnie Tyler can stick the total eclips
1:04:42
Speaker 2: of the heart and I need a hero.
1:04:43
Speaker 1: What in the world is that not weird?
1:04:46
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's a little weird. Okay, a little weird, a
1:04:48
Speaker 2: little strange. Got anything else to say? That album was huge,
1:04:53
Speaker 2: That song was big. On my thirteenth birthday. I think
1:04:55
Speaker 2: we went to the skating rink for my thirteenth birthday
1:04:58
Speaker 2: and we were probably skat and around to You Give
1:05:02
Speaker 2: Love a Bad Name and then living on a prayer
1:05:05
Speaker 2: shortly after that. So okay cool?
1:05:12
Speaker 1: Uh.
1:05:13
Speaker 2: So I guess we're down to the last song.
1:05:15
Speaker 1: Huh, there we go, number one.
1:05:20
Speaker 2: But I have a microphone and you don't, so you
1:05:25
Speaker 2: will listen to damn what I have to say.
1:05:30
Speaker 1: Now, let's cut the stupid cake, because I know fat
1:05:33
Speaker 1: guy's going to have a heart attack.
1:05:34
Speaker 2: We don't need again soon. And while we do that,
1:05:39
Speaker 2: here's a little mood music for you, show love.
1:06:09
Speaker 1: I love this song.
1:06:12
Speaker 2: I like the deep boys guy. Love Stinks.
1:06:16
Speaker 1: Love Stinks is the title track off The Jay Giles
1:06:19
Speaker 1: Band's nineteen eighty album Love Stinks. The song was released
1:06:24
Speaker 1: as a single and peaked in the US at number
1:06:26
Speaker 1: thirty eight, spending three weeks in the top forty. I
1:06:31
Speaker 1: think that's a little low.
1:06:32
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's a little low.
1:06:34
Speaker 1: It's a good song, Okay. The lyrics may have been
1:06:38
Speaker 1: inspired by lead singer Peter Wolfe's marriage to actress Faye
1:06:43
Speaker 1: dunaway Oh, which ended in a nineteen seventy nine divorce.
1:06:49
Speaker 2: So love stinks for old Peter and Fay, it did, Yeah,
1:06:53
Speaker 2: it does. Love hurts, Yeah, fort Nazareth.
1:06:57
Speaker 1: Yeah yeah.
1:07:00
Speaker 2: Good song. Should have been in the top forty longer
1:07:02
Speaker 2: than three weeks, absolutely, But I feel like the wedding
1:07:05
Speaker 2: singer brought that song back around to the nineteen eighties,
1:07:09
Speaker 2: you know, conscience, I would agree, And so that's why
1:07:11
Speaker 2: I played those two clips there, because that was the
1:07:15
Speaker 2: opening to him singing Love Stings at the wedding. I
1:07:17
Speaker 2: love that before he gets punched out by the father
1:07:19
Speaker 2: of the bride, which was not Steve Martin, but might
1:07:25
Speaker 2: have been funny.
1:07:25
Speaker 1: Had it been, it would have been real funny. And
1:07:28
Speaker 1: if maybe Martin short Haud have been there.
1:07:29
Speaker 2: Too, well, that was a good list, right, yeah, that's
1:07:40
Speaker 2: a great anti Valentine's Day list, right.
1:07:43
Speaker 1: I mean, you know, maybe you're not in the mood
1:07:45
Speaker 1: for Valentine's Day. Maybe you're just looking for a list
1:07:48
Speaker 1: of good.
1:07:49
Speaker 2: Songs, and we will have that list of good songs
1:07:54
Speaker 2: in our show notes.
1:07:55
Speaker 1: That's right as a playlist, yep, absolutely a Spotify playlist.
1:07:58
Speaker 2: Maybe you think love of stinks or somebody that you
1:08:02
Speaker 2: dated gave love a bad name because it was a
1:08:04
Speaker 2: tainted love and you were the one that ended up
1:08:07
Speaker 2: crying now and you probably were hating yourself for loving
1:08:10
Speaker 2: that person, and then you wanted to take away from
1:08:14
Speaker 2: them every breath that they took, probably, and for sure
1:08:18
Speaker 2: your heart was hardened.
1:08:21
Speaker 3: After that.
1:08:21
Speaker 2: You went looking for a new love because you didn't
1:08:23
Speaker 2: like the fact that your old love was in jeopardy
1:08:26
Speaker 2: with a guy who was a cold hearted snake, because
1:08:29
Speaker 2: you knew that love was a battlefield and he hadn't
1:08:32
Speaker 2: done much for you lately. So therefore you got a
1:08:35
Speaker 2: hungry heart, which you asked him to quit dragging around,
1:08:40
Speaker 2: and then eventually you got another man on your mind.
1:08:44
Speaker 2: And that is how we do it in the eighties.
1:08:47
Speaker 2: Thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you. That's that's unnecessary.
1:08:51
Speaker 2: Don't and no it was you know you didn't have
1:08:54
Speaker 2: to do that, but thank you.
1:08:55
Speaker 1: Good job.
1:08:58
Speaker 2: All right, So you're ready for some here.
1:09:00
Speaker 1: I know. I saw you had your pencil out and
1:09:02
Speaker 1: you've been feverishly taking notes.
1:09:04
Speaker 2: I have been not a lot. We had three songs
1:09:11
Speaker 2: each from nineteen eighty one and nineteen eighty three, two
1:09:14
Speaker 2: songs from nineteen eighty, eighty two and eighty six, and
1:09:18
Speaker 2: one song each from eighty seven, eighty eight, and eighty nine.
1:09:22
Speaker 2: The only years not represented on our list or right
1:09:24
Speaker 2: in the middle of the decade there of eighty four
1:09:26
Speaker 2: and eighty five. But man, what a great list from
1:09:30
Speaker 2: all over the decade. A lot of early stuff, which
1:09:33
Speaker 2: I kind of like. You know, they say that the
1:09:35
Speaker 2: early eighties is like the good, the band and the ugly,
1:09:37
Speaker 2: but I feel like we got the good from the
1:09:40
Speaker 2: early eighties.
1:09:40
Speaker 1: I think you should be a little surprised that I
1:09:43
Speaker 1: picked so many songs from the early eighties, because typically
1:09:47
Speaker 1: that's not my go to.
1:09:49
Speaker 2: No, that's not because that's not really what you grew
1:09:51
Speaker 2: up on, right, that's just stuff that you've heard later
1:09:53
Speaker 2: in life that you enjoy, but you didn't grow.
1:09:55
Speaker 1: Up on it. No, I'm stepping out a little bit.
1:09:57
Speaker 2: So yeah, like Joe Jackson, you're stepping up. Yeah, that's up.
1:10:00
Speaker 2: That's pretty good. I love that. So we want to know, folks,
1:10:05
