  Speaker 2: Welcome back to Children of the Eighties. I am one
• 0:31
  Speaker 2: of your hosts, Jim, and I am joined as always
• 0:34
  Speaker 2: by the lady who has not figured out whether or
• 0:36
  Speaker 2: not she's walking on the dark side or walking on sunshine.
• 0:40
  Speaker 2: It's my co host, Lindsey.
• 0:42
  Speaker 1: Sometimes I've got one leg on one side, one leg
• 0:46
  Speaker 1: on the other, and I'm just straddling that line. I
• 0:49
  Speaker 1: know you are every day every day. Listen, if you
• 0:54
  Speaker 1: choke and die over there, I'm not editing it out.

• 1:12
  Speaker 1: at the number of quote unquote hacks. I'm gonna have
• 1:15
  Speaker 1: to edit out of it.
• 1:16
  Speaker 2: Not the hacks. It's trying to clear my throat. And
• 1:18

• 1:27
  Speaker 1: Oh, I know, I'm just giving you crap. You know
• 1:29
  Speaker 1: what I live for. That that's where I'm straddling that.
• 1:32
  Speaker 2: Oh, I know, I know. Now you're walking on the
• 1:34
  Speaker 2: dark side. I need you to come back to the sunshine.
• 1:40
  Speaker 2: You know what's not coming back to the sunshine. It's
• 1:42
  Speaker 2: my computer.
• 1:42
  Speaker 1: Yeah. No, we're having all sorts of different issues tonight,
• 1:46
  Speaker 1: and computer issues is one of them.
• 1:47
  Speaker 2: You've got updates are underway, even though it told me
• 1:50
  Speaker 2: at one point I was one hundred percent complete. Yes, yes,
• 1:54
  Speaker 2: you are one hundred percent complete. Keep your please, keep
• 1:56
  Speaker 2: your computer on. But updates are on the way.
• 1:59
  Speaker 1: Could that be what's going on with your throat? You've
• 2:01
  Speaker 1: got updates underway?
• 2:04
  Speaker 2: Gosh, I hope.
• 2:05
  Speaker 1: So, oh my goodness.
• 2:08
  Speaker 2: Give me a give me a new voice.
• 2:10
  Speaker 1: So I got something I wanted to talk about.
• 2:13
  Speaker 2: Well, I wouldn't expect anything less.
• 2:16
  Speaker 1: So you and i've actually already talked about this, but
• 2:18
  Speaker 1: I want to I want to reshare and I want
• 2:20
  Speaker 1: to get into this for a minute. So I was
• 2:23
  Speaker 1: out running errands by myself the other day, and I
• 2:25
  Speaker 1: was in our old neighborhood, and I think I got
• 2:28
  Speaker 1: a little nostalgic because it also happens to be the
• 2:31
  Speaker 1: neighborhood I grew up in, right, and so I had
• 2:34
  Speaker 1: run into the grocery store. Yeah, I'd run into the
• 2:36
  Speaker 1: grocery store to do something. And I came out and
• 2:38
  Speaker 1: there sat the Mickey D's. And I don't eat McDonald's.
• 2:44
  Speaker 1: That is just would be like the last thing I
• 2:46
  Speaker 1: would ever pick. Okay, And something just spoke to me
• 2:50
  Speaker 1: and I was like, I have to go right now
• 2:53
  Speaker 1: and get McDonald's.
• 2:55
  Speaker 2: Okay, and I'm sorry.
• 2:57
  Speaker 1: I had this internal back and forth where I was like,
• 3:00
  Speaker 1: I've got to do it, like something's calling my name,
• 3:03
  Speaker 1: and then I thought it's not really food. I really
• 3:07
  Speaker 1: probably need to not so I compromised and decided I
• 3:10
  Speaker 1: would get a happy.
• 3:11
  Speaker 2: Meal because that's what you would have done in the eighties.
• 3:14
  Speaker 1: Because that's what I would have done in the eighties.
• 3:16
  Speaker 1: I loved me a filet o fish happy meal.
• 3:21
  Speaker 2: Really they did filefish happy it is. Yeah, I didn't
• 3:24
  Speaker 2: think any kid ate fish, so that shocks me.
• 3:29
  Speaker 1: So my weird cousin got it, and I saw something different.
• 3:33
  Speaker 2: So then that's what I wanted. I mean, that's that's
• 3:35
  Speaker 2: not really a surprise.
• 3:36
  Speaker 1: Yeah right, that explains it all. So I went got
• 3:39
  Speaker 1: my little happy meal. I've never in my life seen
• 3:47
  Speaker 1: a French fry holder as tiny as I took a
• 3:55
  Speaker 1: picture of it and send it to you, and you.
• 3:57
  Speaker 2: Said, well, what it looked like like was remember when
• 4:03
  Speaker 2: Emmy used to get her little toys and I forget
• 4:05
  Speaker 2: what they were called, like something one or something, but
• 4:08
  Speaker 2: she get her little toys and they were like basically
• 4:10
  Speaker 2: like little tiny miniatures. They were miniatures of real, real stuff. Yes,
• 4:15
  Speaker 2: that's what it looked like. I mean it couldn't have
• 4:18
  Speaker 2: held more than four fries.
• 4:20
  Speaker 1: No, literally, there were four French fries in there.
• 4:23
  Speaker 2: That's not a happy meal.
• 4:24
  Speaker 1: It was so just perplexed and a little irritates at
• 4:29
  Speaker 1: your computer restarting. Perplexed and irritated, and also really fascinated
• 4:38
  Speaker 1: with how tiny it was.
• 4:40
  Speaker 2: I feel like that would have been a super size
• 4:43
  Speaker 2: for the littles.
• 4:44
  Speaker 1: Yes, yes, this.
• 4:46
  Speaker 2: Didn't make it out of the first round of our
• 4:48
  Speaker 2: cartoon theme tournaments, so I didn't.
• 4:50
  Speaker 1: Want to eat a lot of fries, but I did
• 4:51
  Speaker 1: want more than four.
• 4:54
  Speaker 2: Would five have been suffice?
• 4:56
  Speaker 1: You know how they used to come in the little paper.
• 5:00
  Speaker 2: Yes, that's what they're supposed to come in.
• 5:02
  Speaker 1: What I had expected, and that would have been perfect.
• 5:05
  Speaker 2: They're not supposed to come in the miniature red It
• 5:09
  Speaker 2: literally looks like Rick moranis putt put the super sized
• 5:16
  Speaker 2: Fries red box in his machine and shrunk it.
• 5:19
  Speaker 1: So I know I'm terrible on social media, But what
• 5:22
  Speaker 1: if I try to get up the what energy focus
• 5:26
  Speaker 1: and I post that picture on our socials because it's cute,
• 5:30
  Speaker 1: It's really cute.
• 5:33
  Speaker 2: Yeah, when pigs fly, you'll post that.
• 5:35
  Speaker 1: I mean possibly wink wink.
• 5:39
  Speaker 2: Just because you say wink wink doesn't mean they're flying.
• 5:45
  Speaker 2: Oh what else you got?
• 5:49
  Speaker 1: I mean that's not enough for you. No, what else
• 5:53
  Speaker 1: are you wanting?
• 5:54
  Speaker 2: I need more?
• 5:56
  Speaker 1: I mean, you're the one that should have more to
• 5:57
  Speaker 1: talk about. You've turned into Marstarr over there.
• 6:01
  Speaker 2: I don't even know what that means.
• 6:03
  Speaker 1: Maurice Starr was the guy who discovered New Kids on
• 6:08
  Speaker 1: the Block and he basically produced all their albums.
• 6:11
  Speaker 2: Oh okay, why would I know that? Why? How could
• 6:15
  Speaker 2: you not? Because it's New Kids on the Block. How
• 6:18
  Speaker 2: much attention did I pay New Kids on the Block
• 6:20
  Speaker 2: in nineteen eighty eight, nineteen eighty nine, I mean in
• 6:22
  Speaker 2: nineteen ninety one, and then after that they were basically irrelevant.
• 6:27
  Speaker 1: Well, they're back again, baby, I guess.
• 6:35
  Speaker 2: Yeah. So we're doing some fun stuff on the Patreon
• 6:38
  Speaker 2: and I've I've been sending our Patreon folks some samples
• 6:42
  Speaker 2: of songs to see which one they like for our
• 6:45
  Speaker 2: our season four theme song. Yeah, and we're getting some
• 6:50
  Speaker 2: good feedback and so where we're getting down to the
• 6:53
  Speaker 2: nitty gritty now, oh gosh, we're getting down to the
• 6:56
  Speaker 2: nitty gritty, and we will soon have a winner and
• 7:00
  Speaker 2: then we will have a new theme song.
• 7:02
  Speaker 1: Well that's exciting. You played the two for me that
• 7:06
  Speaker 1: you posted today and I loved them both.
• 7:08
  Speaker 2: Right, it was going to be a tough pick, but
• 7:10
  Speaker 2: once the people have spoken, they have spoken, and there's
• 7:14
  Speaker 2: not a whole lot I can I can really do
• 7:16
  Speaker 2: about that.
• 7:17
  Speaker 1: Yeah, yep, I get it.
• 7:19
  Speaker 2: But but yeah, I mean that's I've been working mainly
• 7:23
  Speaker 2: on podcast stuff since I've recovered somewhat from the surgery,
• 7:29
  Speaker 2: and I'm getting my energy back and I'm feeling pretty good.
• 7:34
  Speaker 1: You are. I can see that you're starting to return
• 7:37
  Speaker 1: to the old gym. Yeah, so see, I see him
• 7:41
  Speaker 1: in there.
• 7:41
  Speaker 2: I'm almost ready to go back to work. Yeah, if
• 7:45
  Speaker 2: if work would allow me to sleep until ten am
• 7:49
  Speaker 2: every day be perfect, and then work like eleven to five,
• 7:52
  Speaker 2: eleven thirty five something like that. I think we can
• 7:55
  Speaker 2: all get along.
• 7:55
  Speaker 1: Just five, Oh, that would be perfect. So, I mean,
• 7:58
  Speaker 1: we live such an exciting life. So I've got a
• 8:02
  Speaker 1: McDonald's story to share, right, I mean, it didn't get
• 8:05
  Speaker 1: much better than that, So let's share what we did
• 8:08
  Speaker 1: ahole day on Saturday.
• 8:13
  Speaker 2: I don't remember crickets.
• 8:15
  Speaker 1: They're cricket, literally.
• 8:16
  Speaker 2: I don't remember what we don't.
• 8:18
  Speaker 1: Remember, Okay. So children of the eighties turned into teens
• 8:23
  Speaker 1: of the nineties, and what did we have in the nineties.
• 8:27
  Speaker 1: We had our big booklets of CDs?
• 8:31
  Speaker 2: Oh that's right, okay, So we went through probably four
• 8:37
  Speaker 2: hundred to five hundred CDs because they had been separated
• 8:41
  Speaker 2: from the cases, and so we were trying to find
• 8:44
  Speaker 2: the CD with the case. And somehow we have twenty
• 8:51
  Speaker 2: twenty five cases left over and about forty five CDs leftover,
• 8:57
  Speaker 2: and those don't match. So I'm not sure what went
• 9:00
  Speaker 2: wrong or where we're at with all of that. Where
• 9:02
  Speaker 2: are the forty five missing CD cases and where are
• 9:06
  Speaker 2: the twenty five missing CDs for the empty cases that
• 9:09
  Speaker 2: we have? Yeah, I got nothing, That's what I want
• 9:11
  Speaker 2: to know.
• 9:12
  Speaker 1: But didn't we have fun doing that? Oh?
• 9:14
  Speaker 2: It was a blast.
• 9:14
  Speaker 1: We had so much fun.
• 9:16
  Speaker 2: It was a blast. I mean, you're seeing memories, You're
• 9:20
  Speaker 2: seeing stuff that you didn't realize that you had. Our
• 9:23
  Speaker 2: buddy Brad would be happy to know that we have
• 9:25
  Speaker 2: three r emcds that I didn't that I had forgotten about.
• 9:29
  Speaker 1: I just found all my old nineties country CDs. And
• 9:34
  Speaker 1: then okay, so we were also then making a stack
• 9:36
  Speaker 1: of CDs to get rid off, and I noticed they
• 9:38
  Speaker 1: all went in the get rid off stack?
• 9:40
  Speaker 2: What the country? Yeah, well, of course.
• 9:42
  Speaker 1: Where did stupid Tori Amos go get rid of? I
• 9:46
  Speaker 1: didn't see her in there in the first are you
• 9:49
  Speaker 1: the first bag? Nor? No, in the first batch? Tori
• 9:55
  Speaker 1: Amos is in the first batch of get rid.
• 9:57
  Speaker 2: Of that you've already approved, Sarah mclall, get rid of
• 10:01
  Speaker 2: Tory Amos, get rid.
• 10:03
  Speaker 1: Of anyways, Yeah, I noticed all my nineties Country ended.
• 10:07
  Speaker 2: Up there, probably where they blong And then you will.
• 10:10
  Speaker 1: You put a Beetle CD today. I had a stack
• 10:13
  Speaker 1: to go through when I got home, because it has
• 10:15
  Speaker 1: to go through two.
• 10:17
  Speaker 2: Right, two eyes, four eyes, two sets of eyes.
• 10:20
  Speaker 1: Correct, and you had a Beetle CD in.
• 10:22
  Speaker 2: There that had to get in there by mistake. Now
• 10:24
  Speaker 2: I want to look at all of them again because
• 10:27
  Speaker 2: the Beetle CD shouldn't have been in there. So now
• 10:29
  Speaker 2: I need to go through them again because there's no
• 10:32
  Speaker 2: way I may have made a mistake there.
• 10:35
  Speaker 1: Well, I hold it not just.
• 10:37
  Speaker 2: With the Beatles, but with that whole stack that I
• 10:40
  Speaker 2: was there.
• 10:41
  Speaker 1: So at one point we had a conversation about, like
• 10:45
  Speaker 1: I probably when we first moved here, do we just
• 10:47
  Speaker 1: like toss and not my toss, but donate all of
• 10:51
  Speaker 1: our CDs, all of our DVDs. I have a huge
• 10:56
  Speaker 1: tote full of cassette tapes, and I said no, that
• 11:02
  Speaker 1: we need to keep them right, and so I think
• 11:06
  Speaker 1: we should display them in here somewhere.
• 11:08
  Speaker 2: Because he had tapes. Uh huh, Okay, you know I've
• 11:12
  Speaker 2: been telling you all along that we need to rearrange
• 11:14
  Speaker 2: our room because we've got this big, giant wall right
• 11:16
  Speaker 2: here behind us. We both need to face the same
• 11:18
  Speaker 2: way and then we can put all the stuff back
• 11:22
  Speaker 2: here on this wall rather than the just the little
• 11:25
  Speaker 2: stuff that we have, because we got so many cool
• 11:27
  Speaker 2: things that represent the eighties that we can't see.
• 11:32
  Speaker 1: So anyways, that's the exciting life that we live. We
• 11:36
  Speaker 1: paired up our CDs with their cases and we actually
• 11:40
  Speaker 1: had a lot of fun, and then we had pizza
• 11:41
  Speaker 1: for dinner. I mean it was really the perfect day.
• 11:44
  Speaker 2: It kind of was. And there was World Cup on
• 11:47
  Speaker 2: that day, right Oh yeah, of course, yeah, so I
• 11:50
  Speaker 2: get to watch two World Cup matches as well. So yeah,
• 11:53
  Speaker 2: it was it was kind of the perfect day. The
• 11:56
  Speaker 2: only thing that would have been better had I been
• 11:59
  Speaker 2: able to work on some stuff, right, which I did today.
• 12:03
  Speaker 1: Well, you could come all day if you would have
• 12:05
  Speaker 1: gotten up before ten o'clock.
• 12:06
  Speaker 2: Well, I mean they're a trade off of everything in life.
• 12:11
  Speaker 2: I do need to start maybe getting up a little
• 12:13
  Speaker 2: bit earlier as I It's kind of like when you
• 12:16
  Speaker 2: had summer break and then you went back to school,
• 12:19
  Speaker 2: you kind of had to start transitioning because you didn't
• 12:21
  Speaker 2: want to sleep until noon, right up until the day
• 12:23
  Speaker 2: before school started, and that was going to be horrible.
• 12:27
  Speaker 2: So I think I may need to start transitioning. I maybe,
• 12:30
  Speaker 2: you know, tomorrow, wake up at nine forty five, and
• 12:33
  Speaker 2: then maybe the next day nine thirty, and then maybe
• 12:36
  Speaker 2: the next day nine to fifteen, and slowly start moving
• 12:39
  Speaker 2: it back until I get to six thirty and then
• 12:41
  Speaker 2: once I get to six thirty six fifteen, I can
• 12:44
  Speaker 2: start back at work again.
• 12:45
  Speaker 1: What do you think sounds good to me?
• 12:48
  Speaker 2: Well, we've got an exciting episode today.
• 12:52
  Speaker 1: Okay, Well, I'm looking forward to it. I'm also a
• 12:55
  Speaker 1: little nervous because I'm kind of in the dark.
• 12:58
  Speaker 2: But that's okay, that's okay. Are you ready to get
• 13:00
  Speaker 2: to it?
• 13:01
  Speaker 1: Then let's do it, all right. This is a podcast
• 13:08
  Speaker 1: that looks back on the decade of the nineteen eighties.
• 13:12
  Speaker 1: We talk about things that were important to us as
• 13:15
  Speaker 1: children and what we look back on with fond memories
• 13:18
  Speaker 1: as adults. Ultimately, this is a nostalgia podcast.
• 13:25
  Speaker 2: And as I say, a few things bring back nostalgia
• 13:28
  Speaker 2: like music. And we have another music episode today. But
• 13:33
  Speaker 2: before we get to that.
• 13:36
  Speaker 3: I know, because I'm middle aged man.
• 14:16
  Speaker 2: I have another nominee, another submission for a nominee for
• 14:22
  Speaker 2: the Middle age Man Hall of Fame.
• 14:25
  Speaker 1: They're coming in quicker than we can handle.
• 14:28
  Speaker 2: Them, they are, and the and the Hall of Fame
• 14:31
  Speaker 2: is growing, and I'm gonna need somebody to go back
• 14:35
  Speaker 2: and listen and tell us all who has made the
• 14:37
  Speaker 2: Hall of Fame, because I'm starting to run out of
• 14:41
  Speaker 2: who made it, So that's not good. As always, we
• 14:44
  Speaker 2: have a nomination and Lindsey, you are going to decide
• 14:48
  Speaker 2: whether this person gets into the middle Aged Hall of Fame,
• 14:51
  Speaker 2: middle Aged Man Hall of Fame, or forever gets locked out.
• 14:57
  Speaker 2: Are you ready?
• 14:58
  Speaker 1: I'm ready.
• 14:59
  Speaker 2: Today's nominee is none other than mister Sam Elliott.
• 15:06
  Speaker 1: Oh, mister mustache.
• 15:10
  Speaker 2: Yes, he's a handsome man. If you say so, that's
• 15:16
  Speaker 2: a tough one. He's a fantastic actor.
• 15:18
  Speaker 1: He is a wonderful actor and hard to believe. I
• 15:24
  Speaker 1: think he's in his eighties now and that's just hard
• 15:26
  Speaker 1: for me to wrap my head around. He really he's
• 15:29
  Speaker 1: in the latest thing that I know that. He's in
• 15:33
  Speaker 1: is Landman with Billy bom Thornton.
• 15:36
  Speaker 2: Yes, and we saw him in Justified without his mustache,
• 15:39
  Speaker 2: which is really creepy.
• 15:40
  Speaker 1: It's been creepy. He needs to always have that caterpillar.
• 15:43
  Speaker 2: But he's been in a lot of movies and you
• 15:46
  Speaker 2: go back to nineteen ninety two and he was Virgilerp
• 15:49
  Speaker 2: in Tombstone and he looked middle aged back then, thirty
• 15:53
  Speaker 2: six years ago. So what do you say?
• 15:57
  Speaker 1: It's a hard one because I find him to he's
• 16:00
  Speaker 1: so handsome that it's hard for me to say, Oh yeah,
• 16:04
  Speaker 1: I think he should be a member of the Middle
• 16:06
  Speaker 1: Aged Man Hall of Fame. And I know that the
• 16:10
  Speaker 1: two shouldn't really have anything to do with each other.
• 16:12
  Speaker 2: They really shouldn't, especially since you found mel handsome.
• 16:20
  Speaker 1: But I feel like there are plenty of ladies out
• 16:23
  Speaker 1: there that would agree with me on Sam Elliott. Can
• 16:26
  Speaker 1: you think of a time when he didn't look middle aged?
• 16:30
  Speaker 2: I mean, I think maybe if you go back to
• 16:32
  Speaker 2: the seventies, but that was fifty years ago. I'm looking
• 16:37
  Speaker 2: at a picture of him here in the nineteen eighties,
• 16:40
  Speaker 2: and I mean, he looks pretty middle aged to me.
• 16:44
  Speaker 1: Okay, I'm looking at a picture of him. He's gone
• 16:47
  Speaker 1: on those Tom Selick short shorts. So it's got to
• 16:50
  Speaker 1: be the late seventies or early eighties. What is this from?
• 16:55
  Speaker 1: Is this from Wikipedia?
• 16:58
  Speaker 2: I just found something on Facebook. I just did a
• 17:00
  Speaker 2: Google search and then something come up on Facebook and
• 17:02
  Speaker 2: it says this man doesn't age, Sam Elliott looks like
• 17:05
  Speaker 2: he was born sixty years old and decided to just
• 17:07
  Speaker 2: stay there.
• 17:08
  Speaker 1: That's hysterical. So let me show you.
• 17:12
  Speaker 2: That looks a lot like Tom Sullick.
• 17:14
  Speaker 1: There, it does but he looks middle aged. He looks
• 17:17
  Speaker 1: middle aged there, so I'm allowing it. He's in.
• 17:31
  Speaker 2: Uh, the cowboy is in, Sam Elliott, congratulations, welcome to
• 17:37
  Speaker 2: the middle Aged Man Hall of Fame.
• 17:41
  Speaker 1: Look who he looks like there?
• 17:43
  Speaker 2: There? He looks like Jeff Foxworth. He I'm looking at
• 17:46
  Speaker 2: one here where he looks like Keith Hernandez.
• 17:48
  Speaker 1: Wow.
• 17:49
  Speaker 2: I don't think these are real. I don't think there's
• 17:52
  Speaker 2: a real picture, y'all.
• 17:55
  Speaker 1: Oh my goodness, mister Hansel.
• 17:57
  Speaker 2: We didn't look middle aged there. I'm surprised you let
• 18:00
  Speaker 2: him in. He's in, all right. I still feel like
• 18:05
  Speaker 2: you should have let Larry David in. But it's appropriate
• 18:07
  Speaker 2: that he didn't get in because he should have been.
• 18:09
  Speaker 2: And now he's going to be all mad about.
• 18:11
  Speaker 1: It, is Brad upset.
• 18:12
  Speaker 2: Oh yeah, for sure.
• 18:13
  Speaker 1: So who nominated Sam Elliott?
• 18:16
  Speaker 2: Our patreonner? Mister John Middleton? Okay, dominated, Sam Elliott?
• 18:20
  Speaker 1: Good job John?
• 18:22
  Speaker 2: So yes, he is eighty one years old, so thirty
• 18:25
  Speaker 2: two years ago. Third, No, thirty four years ago. When
• 18:28
  Speaker 2: he was in Tombstone, he would have been thirty seven.
• 18:32
  Speaker 2: Wow is that right? Forty seven? Forty seven? Okay? Yeah, anyway,
• 18:39
  Speaker 2: he's in. We can't change it. Now you said he's in,
• 18:43
  Speaker 2: He's in. Nothing I can do about it. Sam Elliott, welcome,
• 18:46
  Speaker 2: along with Wilford Brimley and Casey Kasem and all the others.
• 18:49
  Speaker 1: So turns out he's he's been nominated and accepted into
• 18:55
  Speaker 1: the Middle aged Man Hall of Fame, simply because as
• 18:59
  Speaker 1: Chill of the eighties, we've always only known him as
• 19:03
  Speaker 1: middle aged.
• 19:04
  Speaker 2: That is true.
• 19:06
  Speaker 1: I still like it though.
• 19:07
  Speaker 2: He's still in absolutely all right. Well, as I mentioned before,
• 19:15
  Speaker 2: now that Sam is in. Today's episode is a music episode.
• 19:21
  Speaker 2: The guess the theme was so popular last time that
• 19:25
  Speaker 2: we're going to do it again this time. My only
• 19:28
  Speaker 2: question to you is do we still have something to
• 19:29
  Speaker 2: give away to folks? We do? We still have a
• 19:33
  Speaker 2: Do we have a sticker?
• 19:34
  Speaker 1: We have a sticker?
• 19:35
  Speaker 2: All right, So be the first one to reply with
• 19:38
  Speaker 2: the theme correctly, and we will send you a sticker
• 19:44
  Speaker 2: and hopefully it'll get to you sooner than three and
• 19:47
  Speaker 2: a half weeks later.
• 19:47
  Speaker 1: We had well that possibly part was my fault, but
• 19:51
  Speaker 1: we had the listener, Vicky Vicky, and she received the
• 19:56
  Speaker 1: sticker and she put it on her yetty, Yeah, it
• 19:59
  Speaker 1: looked really good.
• 20:00
  Speaker 2: Look fantastic. I think you should post on the social Okay,
• 20:04
  Speaker 2: I will. So we have another theme today. I want
• 20:07
  Speaker 2: you to look down over the songs and see if
• 20:10
  Speaker 2: you notice anything in common.
• 20:15
  Speaker 1: So you're saying it's okay for me.
• 20:17
  Speaker 2: To look, Yeah, it's okay for you to look.
• 20:23
  Speaker 1: I don't know.
• 20:23
  Speaker 2: Okay, Well, that's fine because we'll get to the songs.
• 20:26
  Speaker 2: You can listen to them and see if you can
• 20:29
  Speaker 2: figure it out. So do you have anything else or
• 20:32
  Speaker 2: are you ready to get to it?
• 20:33
  Speaker 1: Let's get to it all right?
• 20:44
  Speaker 2: Okay? As I mentioned, this list has a theme. We
• 20:49
  Speaker 2: have twelve songs for this list. We're gonna caunt them
• 20:52
  Speaker 2: down from twelve to one. But they're not in order
• 20:54
  Speaker 2: of how good they are. Actually put them in chronological order.
• 20:59
  Speaker 1: Okay. Uh.
• 21:00
  Speaker 2: For those of you that don't know what that means.
• 21:03
  Speaker 2: That means we're doing them in the order of when
• 21:06
  Speaker 2: they hit the top forty from earliest to latest. So
• 21:12
  Speaker 2: are you ready to hear our first song?
• 21:16
  Speaker 1: I'm ready. Let's do this.
• 21:17
  Speaker 2: Before I let you hear the song? Do you recognize
• 21:19
  Speaker 2: it by the name?
• 21:23
  Speaker 1: I think?
• 21:24
  Speaker 3: So?
• 21:24
  Speaker 2: Okay, here we go by someone as you.
• 21:31
  Speaker 4: Please, don't go.
• 21:34
  Speaker 1: Don't go.
• 21:40
  Speaker 4: Away, please, don't go, you just stay.
• 21:50
  Speaker 2: He So obviously you recognize that song because I saw
• 21:57
  Speaker 2: you over there mouthing it and singing it. We'll go
• 21:59
  Speaker 2: ahead and tell the what that is.
• 22:01
  Speaker 1: So this is please don't go by Casey and the
• 22:04
  Speaker 1: Sunshine Bands.
• 22:05
  Speaker 2: That's right.
• 22:06
  Speaker 1: I did not realize that it's as old as I am.
• 22:09
  Speaker 2: It is as old as you are, maybe a little
• 22:12
  Speaker 2: bit older.
• 22:13
  Speaker 1: So it debuted in the top forty on September twenty ninth,
• 22:17
  Speaker 1: nineteen seventy nine, so it was on the chart for
• 22:22
  Speaker 1: eighteen weeks. It peaked at number one on the Billboard
• 22:27
  Speaker 1: Hot one hundred and also hit number one in Australia,
• 22:31
  Speaker 1: Canada and South Africa, So there you go. It finished
• 22:37
  Speaker 1: nineteen eighty as the nineteenth biggest song. I kind of
• 22:43
  Speaker 1: agree with that, I think, do you really? I bet
• 22:45
  Speaker 1: that surprises you to hear it.
• 22:47
  Speaker 2: Kind of does. So that is not the version that
• 22:51
  Speaker 2: I grew up with or that I heard first, right,
• 22:54
  Speaker 2: I actually heard this version, so I'm sure you recognize that, right.
• 23:23
  Speaker 1: Yeah, this version it fell under like a dance song
• 23:26
  Speaker 1: and it came out nineteen ninety two by British group
• 23:29
  Speaker 1: KWS Yes and hit number one in the UK and
• 23:32
  Speaker 1: number six here in the state.
• 23:35
  Speaker 2: So which version of those do you like better?
• 23:37
  Speaker 1: The first one and the original? Oh well, okay, yeah,
• 23:40
  Speaker 1: it almost feels disrespectful what they.
• 23:43
  Speaker 2: Did too, so because I grew up with the dance version,
• 23:47
  Speaker 2: and in nineteen ninety two there was a lot of
• 23:50
  Speaker 2: dance music being played on the radio. I actually kind
• 23:53
  Speaker 2: of dug that version, and when I heard the slow
• 23:55
  Speaker 2: down KSE and the Sunshine Band version, actually kind of
• 23:59
  Speaker 2: hated it. Were you mean, yes, okay, I don't know.
• 24:03
  Speaker 1: I was gonna say that. How about right now?
• 24:05
  Speaker 2: You know it's you know, I don't really I'm not
• 24:08
  Speaker 2: going to seek it out to listen to it. If
• 24:10
  Speaker 2: it comes on the radio. Depending on what mood I'm in,
• 24:13
  Speaker 2: I may listen to it. But I'm not a I'm
• 24:16
  Speaker 2: not a huge fan. But you are you you feel
• 24:18
  Speaker 2: it'd be a nineteen for the year in nineteen eighty
• 24:22
  Speaker 2: is well deserved?
• 24:24
  Speaker 1: Yeah?
• 24:25
  Speaker 2: Okay, all right, Well here we go with our number
• 24:29
  Speaker 2: eleven song. I'm sure you know this one. If you
• 24:31
  Speaker 2: know me, you know this one.
• 24:51
  Speaker 1: Glares somehow somebody wants.
• 24:54
  Speaker 2: To keep you around. That is Refugee by Tom Petty
• 25:05
  Speaker 2: and the Heartbreakers. This song debuted in the top forty
• 25:10
  Speaker 2: on February ninth, nineteen eighty. It was on the chart
• 25:14
  Speaker 2: for only ten weeks, and it peaked at number fifteen
• 25:17
  Speaker 2: on the Billboard Hot one hundred. It barely squeaked in
• 25:21
  Speaker 2: there in nineteen eighty for the year end Hot one hundred.
• 25:24
  Speaker 2: Is it finished number one hundred? Is the one hundredth
• 25:27
  Speaker 2: biggest song of nineteen eighty. If you were to go
• 25:30
  Speaker 2: back and take all of these songs from nineteen eighty
• 25:33
  Speaker 2: that finished in the top one hundred, I guarantee you
• 25:36
  Speaker 2: this song would be a lot higher than number one hundred.
• 25:39
  Speaker 2: I would hope it might be top ten. Yeah. So
• 25:42
  Speaker 2: Mike Campbell from the Heartbreakers wrote the music, Tom Petty
• 25:45
  Speaker 2: the lyrics, and apparently it was very difficult recording this
• 25:50
  Speaker 2: to get the feel right. They just couldn't do it,
• 25:53
  Speaker 2: And so they did like one hundred takes.
• 25:56
  Speaker 1: Wow and Mike you imagine.
• 25:58
  Speaker 2: And Mike Campbell finally got so frustrated that he left
• 26:00
  Speaker 2: town for two days and he said he never ever
• 26:04
  Speaker 2: ever did this, but he did it for this song.
• 26:06
  Speaker 2: And when he came back, they were able to regroup
• 26:08
  Speaker 2: and then get it exactly the way they wanted it
• 26:10
  Speaker 2: and then here you go. This is the finished product.
• 26:14
  Speaker 2: You know. I like the part where he says, who knows?
• 26:18
  Speaker 2: Maybe you were tied up, taken away and held for ransom.
• 26:22
  Speaker 2: So you like the song?
• 26:23
  Speaker 1: I do. It's not my favorite Tom Petty song, but
• 26:27
  Speaker 1: it's a good one.
• 26:28
  Speaker 2: It's very, very very early Tom Petty. But yeah, I
• 26:32
  Speaker 2: love it. I love the song, but I love almost
• 26:35
  Speaker 2: anything by Tom Petty. So all right, so are you
• 26:37
  Speaker 2: ready to move on to number ten?
• 26:38
  Speaker 3: Yep?
• 26:39
  Speaker 2: All right. I have a feeling that you're gonna like
• 26:41
  Speaker 2: this one. Some men never google.
• 27:00
  Speaker 1: Shame. I just figured out the connection to all the songs.
• 27:12
  Speaker 2: Did you really?
• 27:13
  Speaker 1: I think so?
• 27:13
  Speaker 2: All right, well tell me what it is and then
• 27:15
  Speaker 2: bleep it out.
• 27:16
  Speaker 1: It's no, I got it.
• 27:22
  Speaker 2: Yes, you told me this one.
• 27:23
  Speaker 1: Was gonna be harder.
• 27:25
  Speaker 2: I thought it would be.
• 27:30
  Speaker 1: Yes, I got it.
• 27:32
  Speaker 2: Y'all got it after three songs.
• 27:35
  Speaker 1: Okay, back up, this song hands down rocks really, Oh
• 27:46
  Speaker 1: my goodness, it's a good song.
• 27:50
  Speaker 2: Well, why don't you tell the folks what it is?
• 27:52
  Speaker 1: Okay, this is Shame on the Moon, Bob Seeger and
• 27:55
  Speaker 1: the Silver Bullet Band.
• 27:58
  Speaker 2: That is correct.
• 27:58
  Speaker 1: You look disappointed.
• 28:00
  Speaker 2: I'm a little disappointed.
• 28:03
  Speaker 1: It debuted in the top forty on December eighteenth, nineteen
• 28:07
  Speaker 1: eighty two, where it sat on the chart for nineteen weeks.
• 28:11
  Speaker 1: It peaked at number two on the Billboard Hot one
• 28:14
  Speaker 1: hundred for four weeks. It finished nineteen eighty three as
• 28:18
  Speaker 1: the fourteenth biggest song. So you ready, I'm ready some
• 28:23
  Speaker 1: fun facts.
• 28:24
  Speaker 2: Okay, it's a cover. I did not know.
• 28:26
  Speaker 1: That Rodney Crowell wrote and recorded it for his debut album.
• 28:31
  Speaker 1: I thought we had talked about this one time, because
• 28:34
  Speaker 1: didn't I try to tell you about who Rodney Crowell was.
• 28:38
  Speaker 2: Maybe okay, maybe, or maybe it was some another Rodney
• 28:42
  Speaker 2: Crowell song that was covered. I don't remember us talking
• 28:44
  Speaker 2: about Shame on the Moon, but it's possible. So we've
• 28:47
  Speaker 2: done a lot of shows.
• 28:48
  Speaker 1: Listen to this. Glenn Fry sings backup on.
• 28:51
  Speaker 2: This song, sore. I mean they're both from Detroit, so
• 28:54
  Speaker 2: that makes sense, I feel like, and they both did.
• 28:57
  Speaker 2: They both had number one hits for Beverly Hills movies.
• 29:00
  Speaker 1: Oh There you Go.
• 29:02
  Speaker 2: Had heat Is on Yep, that was number one, right?
• 29:05
  Speaker 2: Or was it number two? But like it was number one.
• 29:08
  Speaker 2: It's a number one for Beverly Hills cop and then
• 29:10
  Speaker 2: Bob Seeker had Shakedown for Beverly Hills Cup two.
• 29:14
  Speaker 1: Feel like Glenn Fry's not singing back up for too
• 29:17
  Speaker 1: many people. No, Ben Fry likes him some Glenn frye.
• 29:21
  Speaker 2: Well he did. May rest in peace?
• 29:23
  Speaker 1: May he rest in peace? Okay? This is Bob Zeeger's
• 29:27
  Speaker 1: second highest charting hit after Shakedown, So two songs held
• 29:32
  Speaker 1: it off from being number one. One of those is
• 29:35
  Speaker 1: Baby Come to Me by Patty Austin and James Ingram
• 29:38
  Speaker 1: on the first week.
• 29:39
  Speaker 2: Do you agree with that?
• 29:41
  Speaker 4: No?
• 29:42
  Speaker 1: And the second one is Billy Jean for the next
• 29:45
  Speaker 1: three weeks.
• 29:46
  Speaker 2: Certainly you can understand that that one I can agree with. Yeah.
• 29:50
  Speaker 2: Bad timing, Yeah, bad timing. Although I think it's a
• 29:53
  Speaker 2: better song than Baby Come to Me.
• 29:55
  Speaker 1: Oh my gosh, this song, this song just doesn't get much.
• 30:00
  Speaker 2: Bob Seger is like your man, right, you love you
• 30:03
  Speaker 2: some Bob Seger.
• 30:05
  Speaker 1: Bob Zeaker looked like Sam Elliott.
• 30:07
  Speaker 2: He kind of does. Bob Zeaker might be available for
• 30:10
  Speaker 2: the Middle Aged Man Hall of Fame.
• 30:12
  Speaker 1: He might be, He might be. Maybe I should make
• 30:15
  Speaker 1: a nomination.
• 30:19
  Speaker 2: All right? Uh so great song nineteen eighty two finishes
• 30:24
  Speaker 2: the fourteenth biggest song for nineteen eighty three. Now we're
• 30:27
  Speaker 2: gonna get to one that debut in nineteen eighty three.
• 30:30
  Speaker 2: But as you look at this song, do you recognize
• 30:34
  Speaker 2: this song?
• 30:34
  Speaker 1: I do not.
• 30:36
  Speaker 2: I think you're gonna like the song though. Here we go.
• 30:40
  Speaker 4: Friends God friends friends friends friends friends all right.
• 31:16
  Speaker 1: Okay, So first of all, this sounds like it either
• 31:21
  Speaker 1: sounds like a commercial jingle or maybe the TV show
• 31:26
  Speaker 1: theme song. Yeah, I can see that, And I feel
• 31:28
  Speaker 1: like she's not really singing. They're just more like speaking
• 31:33
  Speaker 1: the song or almost like she sings.
• 31:36
  Speaker 2: She sings in other portions of it, but she does
• 31:40
  Speaker 2: yea yeah. But okay, so this is fake Friends by
• 31:43
  Speaker 2: Jung Jet and the Black Hearts. The song debuted in
• 31:45
  Speaker 2: the top forty on July thirtieth, nineteen eighty three. It
• 31:48
  Speaker 2: was on the chart for four weeks. It peaked at
• 31:50
  Speaker 2: number thirty five on the Billboard Hot one hundred. This
• 31:54
  Speaker 2: was the first single released from the album titled album.
• 32:01
  Speaker 2: Although it didn't get a lot of radio time, it
• 32:03
  Speaker 2: did get pretty heavy airplay on MTV. Uh and the
• 32:07
  Speaker 2: videos where Jung Jet and the Black Hearts are continually
• 32:10
  Speaker 2: mobbed by fans in quotes and hangers on who quickly
• 32:15
  Speaker 2: turn into cardboard cutouts and fall over.
• 32:19
  Speaker 1: Oh that's funny.
• 32:20
  Speaker 2: I think that this song is a good life lesson
• 32:23
  Speaker 2: for all of us and especially for kids.
• 32:26
  Speaker 1: I mean, it's something that we've been trying to teach
• 32:29
  Speaker 1: Emmy about. So maybe she needs to hear this song.
• 32:31
  Speaker 2: Yeah, you got nothing to lose. You don't lose when
• 32:34
  Speaker 2: you lose fake friends. So what did you think of that?
• 32:38
  Speaker 1: Uh? It was it was unusual.
• 32:41
  Speaker 2: It is unusual. But I love her guitar playing on that.
• 32:43
  Speaker 2: She's just a fantastic guitar player. All right, I think
• 32:49
  Speaker 2: you're gonna like this number eight songun I love this song.
• 33:26
  Speaker 2: I know you do.
• 33:27
  Speaker 1: This is on the Dark Side by John Cafferty and
• 33:30
  Speaker 1: the Beaver Brown Band. Did he really need the Beaver
• 33:35
  Speaker 1: Brown Band?
• 33:36
  Speaker 2: Apparently?
• 33:38
  Speaker 1: I don't know about that, Okay. So it debuted in
• 33:40
  Speaker 1: the top forty on September fifteenth, nineteen eighty four, where
• 33:45
  Speaker 1: it was on the chart for eleven weeks. It peaked
• 33:48
  Speaker 1: at number seven on the Billboard Hot one hundred. It
• 33:52
  Speaker 1: was number one on the sales chart and number one
• 33:56
  Speaker 1: on the album rock chart for five weeks. It finished
• 34:01
  Speaker 1: eighty four as the ninety fourth biggest song in the Land,
• 34:06
  Speaker 1: As Casey Cason would say, I think it's low. Yeah.
• 34:10
  Speaker 2: I honestly it got a little bit of a late
• 34:12
  Speaker 2: start too, so it may have some of those weeks
• 34:15
  Speaker 2: may have been pushed into nineteen eighty five, so it
• 34:21
  Speaker 2: probably didn't get its full run on there.
• 34:23
  Speaker 1: I think we've probably talked about this before, but I
• 34:27
  Speaker 1: thought when I used to hear this song, I thought
• 34:29
  Speaker 1: it was Bruce Springs.
• 34:30
  Speaker 2: It sounds like a Bruce Springsteen song.
• 34:32
  Speaker 1: So I was probably an adult before I even knew
• 34:35
  Speaker 1: that there was a John Cafferty, right.
• 34:37
  Speaker 2: So I got some fun facts on this song. Bring it.
• 34:40
  Speaker 2: So this song originally charted in nineteen eighty three at
• 34:44
  Speaker 2: number sixty four.
• 34:45
  Speaker 1: Oh wow.
• 34:47
  Speaker 2: So why did it only chart at number sixty four
• 34:49
  Speaker 2: in nineteen eighty three but get re released and charted
• 34:52
  Speaker 2: at seven in nineteen eighty four. It's because it's obviously
• 34:57
  Speaker 2: it's from the movie Eddie and the Cruisers. The movie
• 34:59
  Speaker 2: was pulled out of the theaters after just three weeks,
• 35:03
  Speaker 2: so low sales, I think so, and so it just
• 35:07
  Speaker 2: kind of lost its way. But in nineteen eighty four
• 35:09
  Speaker 2: the movie had a revival, both on home video and
• 35:12
  Speaker 2: because it was playing on HBO every seven hours.
• 35:14
  Speaker 1: That's it.
• 35:15
  Speaker 2: And then the song exploded again, and then there we have.
• 35:18
  Speaker 2: Wyatt charted all the way up to number seven in
• 35:21
  Speaker 2: September of eighty four. Yeap, what do you think about that? Well,
• 35:25
  Speaker 2: I mean, it's my favorite movie I know, so I
• 35:28
  Speaker 2: don't know why, but it is.
• 35:31
  Speaker 1: I'm scared to go back and watch it now. I'm
• 35:33
  Speaker 1: afraid it'll ruin all my memories.
• 35:36
  Speaker 2: Maybe all right, so you got anything else to say
• 35:39
  Speaker 2: about on the dark side?
• 35:40
  Speaker 1: Good song?
• 35:41
  Speaker 2: All right, here we go number seven, just count wait.
• 35:47
  Speaker 1: To come.
• 36:18
  Speaker 2: To Nobody's surprised. That is Walking on Sunshine by Katrina
• 36:21
  Speaker 2: and the Waves. This song debut in the top forty
• 36:23
  Speaker 2: on April twentieth, nineteen eighty five. It was on the
• 36:26
  Speaker 2: shart for thirteen weeks, and it peaked at number nine
• 36:29
  Speaker 2: on the Billboard Hot one hundred. Little Loo Yeah This
• 36:33
  Speaker 2: song finished nineteen eighty five, is the seventy fifth biggest
• 36:36
  Speaker 2: song in the land, and the song peaked at number
• 36:39
  Speaker 2: two in Ireland, which was its highest charting country. I
• 36:42
  Speaker 2: think the song has become more popular as the years
• 36:45
  Speaker 2: go by, more so than it was in the eighties
• 36:47
  Speaker 2: because it's such a fun, pick me up, happy song.
• 36:50
  Speaker 2: It's hard to be in a bad mood when you
• 36:53
  Speaker 2: hear this song.
• 36:53
  Speaker 1: When you hear this, yeah, I feel like it might
• 36:55
  Speaker 1: have been eighty five, might have been a little too
• 36:57
  Speaker 1: early for it, you think, I think so.
• 37:01
  Speaker 2: I mean to me, it sounds like a perfect song
• 37:02
  Speaker 2: for eighty five. But you might be right. It may
• 37:05
  Speaker 2: have been more popular in the nineties. You know what.
• 37:07
  Speaker 2: The nineties needed it with all the depressing grunge, yes
• 37:10
  Speaker 2: and such. Not so all right, we've talked about that
• 37:16
  Speaker 2: song enough. Let's get on to number six.
• 37:50
  Speaker 1: That is Raspberry Beret. Prince in the Revolution.
• 37:57
  Speaker 2: Like that song. Huh you love you some Prince.
• 37:59
  Speaker 1: I'm not called comfortable in a world without Prince. So
• 38:02
  Speaker 1: this song debuted in the top forty on May eighteenth,
• 38:06
  Speaker 1: nineteen eighty five, where it was on the chart for
• 38:09
  Speaker 1: listen to this fourteen weeks?
• 38:13
  Speaker 2: Why am I listening?
• 38:14
  Speaker 1: That's a long time.
• 38:15
  Speaker 2: A little bit more than a quarter of a year.
• 38:17
  Speaker 1: That's a long time. It peaked at number two on
• 38:19
  Speaker 1: the Billboard Hot one hundred. It made it all the
• 38:22
  Speaker 1: way to number one on the airplay chart and number
• 38:26
  Speaker 1: two on the sales chart. It was held off by
• 38:30
  Speaker 1: a view to a kill by Duran Duran.
• 38:34
  Speaker 2: Well, not a room with a View by Duran Duran.
• 38:38
  Speaker 1: No, not a room with a view.
• 38:40
  Speaker 2: Throw back to my mistake calling a Room with a
• 38:43
  Speaker 2: View a James Bond movie.
• 38:47
  Speaker 1: If we have to do Prince versus Duran Duran, I
• 38:51
  Speaker 1: got some strong feelings there. So it finished nineteen eighty
• 38:54
  Speaker 1: five as the fifty first biggest song of the year,
• 38:59
  Speaker 1: and I this was probably one of the top songs
• 39:01
  Speaker 1: of the summer for eighty five.
• 39:03
  Speaker 2: I bet it probably was too. Now I do like
• 39:05
  Speaker 2: of Youtubo A killed by Duran Durant. It's a good
• 39:07
  Speaker 2: song and it's worthy of number one, but it's not
• 39:09
  Speaker 2: better than Raspberry.
• 39:10
  Speaker 1: Burrey nowhere near. It is not nowhere near. So this
• 39:14
  Speaker 1: song recharted on the Hot one hundred and landed at
• 39:18
  Speaker 1: number thirty three in May of two thousand and sixteen,
• 39:22
  Speaker 1: following the.
• 39:23
  Speaker 2: Death of Prince so before the song peaked at number two.
• 39:28
  Speaker 2: I just saw this online. It was at number three
• 39:31
  Speaker 2: on July thirteenth, nineteen and eighty five. And you want
• 39:36
  Speaker 2: to hear the top ten songs from them, I'll start
• 39:39
  Speaker 2: from ten and go down, pulling a Jason Colvin here
• 39:41
  Speaker 2: who likes to do this on his podcast. Number ten.
• 39:45
  Speaker 2: The Goonies Are Good Enough by Cindy Lauper. Number nine,
• 39:49
  Speaker 2: Glory Days by Bruce Springsteen, Good Song number eight Voices

• 40:13
  Speaker 2: number three, Raspberry Beret, number two, Sue's Studio by Phil Collins,
• 40:19
  Speaker 2: and number one A View to a Kill by Duran
• 40:22
  Speaker 2: Durand those are all fantastic. That's a great top ten.
• 40:26
  Speaker 2: That's a great week for a great top ten. I
• 40:28
  Speaker 2: don't know nineteen eighty five, Mike Push nineteen eighty four
• 40:31
  Speaker 2: for best Musical Gear.
• 40:32
  Speaker 1: I agree.
• 40:33
  Speaker 2: Okay, are you ready for number five?
• 40:35
  Speaker 1: Yeah? Can we just recap the fact that I guessed
• 40:38
  Speaker 1: the theme? Really?
• 40:39
  Speaker 2: Or yeah? After three songs? I know, I know, Okay, Okay.
• 40:44
  Speaker 2: You're gonna have to be very quiet to hear this song,
• 41:17
  Speaker 2: all right? That is silent running parentheticals on Dangerous Ground
• 41:22
  Speaker 2: by Mike and the Mechanics. Oh, you're not a big
• 41:27
  Speaker 2: fan of Mike and the Mechanics nop So this song
• 41:29
  Speaker 2: debuted in the top forty on January eighteenth, nineteen eighty six.
• 41:33
  Speaker 2: It was on the chart for eleven weeks. It peaked
• 41:35
  Speaker 2: at number six on the Billboard Hot one hundred. But
• 41:38
  Speaker 2: get this, it was number one on the album Rock
• 41:42
  Speaker 2: Tracks chart for five weeks.
• 41:44
  Speaker 1: Oh wow.
• 41:45
  Speaker 2: It finished nineteen eighty six as the seventieth biggest song,
• 41:49
  Speaker 2: but on that album rocks track chart, it was the
• 41:52
  Speaker 2: biggest song in the land for nineteen eighty six. So
• 41:56
  Speaker 2: apparently Phil Collins was not the only Genesis band member
• 41:59
  Speaker 2: doing other things in nineteen eighty six. Mike Rutherford, one
• 42:03
  Speaker 2: of the co founders of Genesis, is the Mike in
• 42:07
  Speaker 2: this band, Mike in the Mechaics.
• 42:09
  Speaker 1: Are you serious?
• 42:10
  Speaker 2: I am dead serious? Your mind is blown. So Paul
• 42:14
  Speaker 2: Carrick sang lead vocals on this song. Do you recognize
• 42:18
  Speaker 2: Paul Carrick?
• 42:19
  Speaker 1: Okay, so Mike doesn't even sing the song. No, he's
• 42:24
  Speaker 1: Mike and the Mechanics Dick.
• 42:26
  Speaker 2: No, he's the bassist.
• 42:28
  Speaker 1: See it. Somehow he negotiated that his name for the band. Okay,
• 42:34
  Speaker 1: that's insane. I want whoever negotiated that for him to
• 42:38
  Speaker 1: help me negotiate something, right. Do I recognize Paul Carrick's name?
• 42:44
  Speaker 2: Yes?
• 42:44
  Speaker 4: No?
• 42:45
  Speaker 2: So he had a solo hit in nineteen eighty seven
• 42:48
  Speaker 2: called Don't Shed a Tear for Me? My life won
• 42:52
  Speaker 2: end without You? You know the song? You're over there
• 42:55
  Speaker 2: yawning like it's late at night or something.
• 42:59
  Speaker 1: Do I know that song?
• 43:00
  Speaker 2: Am I boring you?
• 43:02
  Speaker 1: Well? I mean Mike and the Mechanics bore me for sure,
• 43:05
  Speaker 1: but I don't. I'll have to play that. I have
• 43:07
  Speaker 1: to play it.
• 43:29
  Speaker 2: You don't recognize that.
• 43:30
  Speaker 1: I don't know this song, but I like it. No,
• 43:32
  Speaker 1: don't shed a Tear for me. My life won't end
• 43:36
  Speaker 1: without you.
• 43:37
  Speaker 2: I love it as long as the night will be
• 43:39
  Speaker 2: the sun will rise without you. You don't know that song.
• 43:42
  Speaker 2: I'm shocked. Okay, So what do you think about Silent Running?
• 43:47
  Speaker 1: I mean, I think I've made myself clear. I don't
• 43:50
  Speaker 1: like it.
• 43:50
  Speaker 2: You don't like anything by Mike and the Mechanics at all.
• 43:53
  Speaker 2: All I need is a miracle.
• 43:54
  Speaker 1: Nope?
• 43:55
  Speaker 2: Wow, So I wasn't a big Mike and the Mechanics
• 43:58
  Speaker 2: fan as a kid, but I actually like the No.
• 44:00
  Speaker 2: I may maybe my musical tastes have matured, or as
• 44:04
  Speaker 2: some people say matured. Oh you are not happy over there? No,
• 44:10
  Speaker 2: I don't like it all right, here we go number four.
• 44:13
  Speaker 2: I don't think you're gonna like this either.
• 44:16
  Speaker 4: Ladiesus just a funny sen get a jumb.
• 44:23
  Speaker 2: That's just the way. Something's another chie that's just the way.
• 44:37
  Speaker 1: But don't you believe it? That's the way it is.
• 44:45
  Speaker 1: By Bruce Hornsby and The Range. The song debuted in
• 44:50
  Speaker 1: the Top forty on October eighteenth, nineteen eighty six, where
• 44:54
  Speaker 1: it was on the chart for fifteen weeks.
• 44:56
  Speaker 2: You made a big deal a lout of fourteen weeks.
• 44:57
  Speaker 2: This one was on for fifteen. I mean, I think
• 44:59
  Speaker 2: you should make a big deal a bit, but.
• 45:01
  Speaker 1: The deal, make a big deal. It's a big deal everybody.
• 45:07
  Speaker 1: It peaked at number one on the Billboard Hot one hundred.
• 45:11
  Speaker 1: This was the first Top forty hit and only number
• 45:14
  Speaker 1: one for Bruce in the Range. It also hit number
• 45:20
  Speaker 1: one on the Airplay chart and the Adult Contemporary chart
• 45:24
  Speaker 1: for two weeks. It finished eighty seven as the eighth
• 45:28
  Speaker 1: biggest song in the land.
• 45:30
  Speaker 2: So what do you think about it being the eighth
• 45:33
  Speaker 2: biggest song in the land for nineteen eighty seven?
• 45:35
  Speaker 1: It's too high.
• 45:37
  Speaker 2: It might have been higher than eight had it hit
• 45:40
  Speaker 2: the charts a little bit later in nineteen eighty six,
• 45:43
  Speaker 2: because it came in in October, or at least a
• 45:46
  Speaker 2: debuted in the top forty. It was obviously in the
• 45:48
  Speaker 2: hot one hundred before that, but it debuted in the
• 45:51
  Speaker 2: top forty on October eighteenth, and I believe around the
• 45:54
  Speaker 2: middle of November is when they start counting for nineteen
• 45:57
  Speaker 2: eighty seven. Yes, so it lost a few weeks there.
• 45:59
  Speaker 2: It may have been high than eight.
• 46:02
  Speaker 1: So I'm gonna need to call Mike for Mike and
• 46:05
  Speaker 1: the mechanic whoever his agent is, to renegotiate my contract
• 46:09
  Speaker 1: because we have an agreement. There are certain songs that
• 46:11
  Speaker 1: we don't mention on this podcast, and I thought this
• 46:14
  Speaker 1: was one of them.
• 46:15
  Speaker 2: I didn't know that this was one of them.
• 46:16
  Speaker 1: Oh I thought it was. No, I mean, I know
• 46:18
  Speaker 1: it is. I thought we had talked about it.
• 46:20
  Speaker 2: No, I don't believe so well, But I quote this
• 46:23
  Speaker 2: song all the time when asks why about something, I'll
• 46:26
  Speaker 2: just say that's just the way it is. Some things
• 46:28
  Speaker 2: will never change, all right. So you have nothing else
• 46:32
  Speaker 2: to say about it, then I guess you got nothing
• 46:34
  Speaker 2: for you, all right. Here's some songs make me sad,
• 46:37
  Speaker 2: and that's one of them.
• 46:39
  Speaker 1: That's one of them.
• 46:39
  Speaker 2: Okay, So I have to say this. I hated this
• 46:42
  Speaker 2: song in nineteen eighty six and nineteen eighty seven, but
• 46:45
  Speaker 2: you love it now. However, listening to it today and
• 46:51
  Speaker 2: maybe understanding the lyrics a little bit better, it gave
• 46:54
  Speaker 2: me goosebumps. Really, yes, as I was in putting this
• 46:58
  Speaker 2: song in today, it gave me goosebumps.
• 47:01
  Speaker 1: Okay, I can see that because you know, like one
• 47:04
  Speaker 1: of those in hindsight sort of things, is that.
• 47:07
  Speaker 2: Yes, And I'm also said that you don't like it
• 47:09
  Speaker 2: because it's such a beautiful piano that I wanted Amy
• 47:11
  Speaker 2: to learn it on the piano. Oh no, all right,
• 47:16
  Speaker 2: you're a weird one.
• 47:21
  Speaker 1: The way it is somethin.
• 47:26
  Speaker 2: All right.
• 47:26
  Speaker 1: Number three.
• 47:32
  Speaker 5: Feature that you cannot.
• 47:40
  Speaker 4: No no.

  Speaker 5: In the Cops, Gudget him is going to Cadget is
• 48:04
  Speaker 5: going to Gadget. He's coming for you.
• 48:06
  Speaker 2: Okay, that's that's the rhythm is gonna get you. But
• 48:11
  Speaker 2: she's literally making it sound like the rhythm is a
• 48:14
  Speaker 2: serial killer.
• 48:15
  Speaker 1: No, it's coming for you.
• 48:16
  Speaker 2: At night when you turn off all the lights. There's
• 48:18
  Speaker 2: no place that you can hide. The rhythm is gonna
• 48:21
  Speaker 2: get you in bed, throw the covers on your head.
• 48:25
  Speaker 2: You pretend like you are dead. But I know what
• 48:28
  Speaker 2: the rhythm is gonna get you. I mean, what kind
• 48:31
  Speaker 2: of psychopath is?
• 48:32
  Speaker 1: So change it from the rhythm is gonna get you
• 48:35
  Speaker 1: to Ted Bundy is going to get you.
• 48:37
  Speaker 2: It's horrifying. So that's the rhythm is Gonna get You.
• 48:42
  Speaker 2: By Gloria Estefan and the Miami Sound Machine. This song
• 48:46
  Speaker 2: debut in the top forty on June thirteenth, nineteen eighty seven.
• 48:49
  Speaker 2: It was on the chart for twelve weeks. It peaked
• 48:51
  Speaker 2: at number five on the Billboard Hot one hundred, and
• 48:54
  Speaker 2: it finished nineteen eighty seven as the seventy second biggest song.
• 49:00
  Speaker 2: There's about sixty four places lower than Bruce Hornsby. That's
• 49:03
  Speaker 2: just the way it is. Yeah, I mean, who who
• 49:09
  Speaker 2: who who writes lyrics like this to Bundy is gonna
• 49:13
  Speaker 2: get you? Bundy is gonna get you, Buty is gonna
• 49:17
  Speaker 2: get you, but is gonna get you. And then the
• 49:20
  Speaker 2: second one, the second one, she can say, Casey is
• 49:22
  Speaker 2: gonna get you. Now the third verse she could say,
• 49:25
  Speaker 2: the Green River Killer is gonna get you.
• 49:28
  Speaker 1: I mean, oh my goodness, crazy, no I got. I
• 49:33
  Speaker 1: don't even have anything else to say about.
• 49:35
  Speaker 2: That's all we gotta say about Gloria. All right, here's
• 49:38
  Speaker 2: number two. Do you recognize this song? If you have.
• 50:05
  Speaker 4: Perfect World?
• 50:18
  Speaker 3: That is.
• 50:21
  Speaker 1: Perfect world? Huey Lewis and the News.
• 50:23
  Speaker 2: I don't know this one really.
• 50:25
  Speaker 1: It debuted in the top forty on July twenty third,
• 50:28
  Speaker 1: nineteen eighty eight. It was on the chart for twelve weeks.
• 50:33
  Speaker 1: It peaked at number three on the Billboard Hot one hundred.
• 50:38
  Speaker 1: It was also at number three on the sales chart,
• 50:40
  Speaker 1: but number one on the airplay chart. The two songs
• 50:45
  Speaker 1: that were ahead of it the week it hit number
• 50:47
  Speaker 1: three were Sweet Child of Mind and number one and
• 50:49
  Speaker 1: Simply Irresistible at number two.
• 50:52
  Speaker 2: I can allow it.
• 50:53
  Speaker 1: Those are good songs.
• 50:55
  Speaker 2: I can allow it.
• 50:56
  Speaker 1: So. It finished eighty eight as the sixty four the
• 51:00
  Speaker 1: biggest song. This was the twelfth and last top ten
• 51:05
  Speaker 1: hit for the band That makes Me Sad.
• 51:08
  Speaker 2: Makes me sad that you don't know it?
• 51:10
  Speaker 1: No, I don't know it. So.
• 51:12
  Speaker 2: This song was written by Alex Call who was a
• 51:14
  Speaker 2: former band mate of Hughie, and he had previously written
• 51:20
  Speaker 2: eight six seven five three oh nine for Tommy twotone,
• 51:24
  Speaker 2: No Way Way. The song also hit the top spot
• 51:28
  Speaker 2: in Canada. Okay, big Huey Lewis and the news lovers
• 51:34
  Speaker 2: up there in Canada. There you go, all right, So
• 51:37
  Speaker 2: what'd you think of hearing that?
• 51:39
  Speaker 1: You know, not my favorite Huey Lewis.
• 51:42
  Speaker 2: Well, no, it's not my favorite. I don't think it's
• 51:44
  Speaker 2: anybody's favorite Huey Lewis song.
• 51:46
  Speaker 1: I mean, but it sounded very typical Huey Lewis, yes
• 51:49
  Speaker 1: for sure, which is probably why it made it all
• 51:52
  Speaker 1: the way to number three. Right, he could kind of
• 51:55
  Speaker 1: there was that time he could do no wrong.
• 51:57
  Speaker 2: Correct, from about eighty two to about eighty eight, they
• 51:59
  Speaker 2: could do no wrong. I mean, this could have been
• 52:01
  Speaker 2: what ended that for him. No, he still had top
• 52:06
  Speaker 2: forty hits after that. This was just the last top ten.
• 52:09
  Speaker 2: All right, here's our number one song, which I'm pretty
• 52:13
  Speaker 2: sure you recognize.
• 52:18
  Speaker 1: Before. What I have?
• 52:26
  Speaker 2: What you wow?
• 52:29
  Speaker 1: What I have? What I have?
• 52:31
  Speaker 2: You what you want?
• 52:34
  Speaker 1: Oh, I'm not aware so many thing. I know what
• 52:37
  Speaker 1: I know, I know what I mean.
• 52:46
  Speaker 2: So that is what I am. By Edie brookel and
• 52:49
  Speaker 2: the New Bohemians. This song debuted in the top forty
• 52:53
  Speaker 2: on January fourteenth, nineteen eighty nine. It was on the
• 52:56
  Speaker 2: chart for ten weeks. It peaked at number seven on
• 52:59
  Speaker 2: the Billboard Hot one h hundred and finished nineteen eighty
• 53:01
  Speaker 2: nine as the eighty fourth biggest song. This song actually
• 53:06
  Speaker 2: hit number one in Canada. This is a true one
• 53:10
  Speaker 2: hit wonder. There were no other top forty hits after
• 53:14
  Speaker 2: this song. So this song sounds like a ninety song
• 53:17
  Speaker 2: to me.
• 53:18
  Speaker 1: One hundred.
• 53:20
  Speaker 2: We talk about how maybe nineteen ninety didn't start until
• 53:24
  Speaker 2: or the nineties didn't start until ninety one or ninety
• 53:26
  Speaker 2: two when it came to music, but it actually may
• 53:28
  Speaker 2: have started on January fourteenth, nineteen eighty nine, because that
• 53:32
  Speaker 2: is when this song hit the top forty. And yeah,
• 53:36
  Speaker 2: this this does not sound like an eighty song. This
• 53:39
  Speaker 2: sounds like a song to kick off the nineties for sure.
• 53:42
  Speaker 1: Yeah. So I wonder if it had come out maybe
• 53:48
  Speaker 1: ninety two. I felt maybe she wouldn't have been a
• 53:51
  Speaker 1: one hit wonder.
• 53:53
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I don't know. I know that she wrote this
• 53:56
  Speaker 2: song her freshman year in college after taking a World
• 54:00
  Speaker 2: religions class.
• 54:02
  Speaker 1: So do you know she's married to right?
• 54:04
  Speaker 2: I do not.
• 54:05
  Speaker 1: She's been married to Paul Simon since ninety two.
• 54:10
  Speaker 2: Really, yes, he is much much older than her.
• 54:14
  Speaker 1: She is. She was born in sixty six, right, so she's.
• 54:18
  Speaker 2: Like seven years older than me. So and he is

  Speaker 2: he was born in twenty six.
• 54:22
  Speaker 1: Wow, he was born in forty one.
• 54:25
  Speaker 2: Yeah, so he's like twenty five years older than her. Wow.
• 54:28
  Speaker 1: Okay, Well I hope.
• 54:30
  Speaker 2: For you old Ben. Yet if it's if not for Edie,
• 54:33
  Speaker 2: then certainly for Reese Witherspoon, who's married to George Burns.
• 54:37
  Speaker 1: I wonder how would he do in the Middle Aged
• 54:40
  Speaker 1: Man Hall of Fame.
• 54:41
  Speaker 2: Paul Simon. Yeah, you know what, that's a good question. Yeah,
• 54:45
  Speaker 2: you might because you go back to Simon and Garfunkle.
• 54:47
  Speaker 2: He might have been bald.
• 54:49
  Speaker 1: So he had two marriages before Edie?
• 54:52
  Speaker 2: Yes? Was he not married to Carrie Fisher?
• 54:54
  Speaker 1: Carry Fisher from eighty three to eighty four? Peggy Harper
• 54:58
  Speaker 1: sixty ninety seventy.
• 54:59
  Speaker 2: Five, part of the Harper Valley PTA.
• 55:01
  Speaker 1: Probably.
• 55:02
  Speaker 2: Okay, so there you go, all right, Well, there you
• 55:08
  Speaker 2: have it. We are finished with our songs. What did
• 55:11
  Speaker 2: you think?
• 55:12
  Speaker 1: I enjoyed it? We kind of like ran the gamut
• 55:15
  Speaker 1: we had on some songs I didn't know some songs
• 55:17
  Speaker 1: that I loved, a couple of songs I hated, and
• 55:21
  Speaker 1: then some that I just never heard before.
• 55:23
  Speaker 2: But I think I kind of like, alright, so you
• 55:25
  Speaker 2: ran the gamut, all right, I ran the gamut. Well,
• 55:28
  Speaker 2: I've got some stats for this song. I'm sure you're
• 55:30
  Speaker 2: surprised about that.
• 55:32
  Speaker 4: Not a lot.
• 55:35
  Speaker 2: We have twelve songs total covering ten years, including nineteen
• 55:39
  Speaker 2: seventy nine, but that song was a top one hundred
• 55:42
  Speaker 2: hit in nineteen eighty. So the only year not covered
• 55:45
  Speaker 2: from the eighties in this countdown was nineteen eighty one,
• 55:48
  Speaker 2: which ironic considering our last episode was all about nineteen
• 55:50
  Speaker 2: eighty one. There were two songs in eighty six and
• 55:53
  Speaker 2: two songs in eighty five. We had two songs peak
• 55:56
  Speaker 2: at number one. We had eight more top ten hits.
• 55:59
  Speaker 2: The only songs that didn't hit the top ten were
• 56:02
  Speaker 2: Refugee and Fake Friends, which might be my two favorites
• 56:05
  Speaker 2: on this list. The only song that wasn't a top
• 56:08
  Speaker 2: one hundred song for any particular year was Fake Friends
• 56:12
  Speaker 2: by Joe Jet and the Black Hearts. So you have
• 56:15
  Speaker 2: already guessed the mystery theme. Yes, I have, and you
