Speaker 1 (00:01):
This is Hit Me Brady One More Time.
Speaker 2 (00:06):
I'll look back on all things nineties and two thousands,
the movies, the music.
Speaker 1 (00:14):
Give it up for death, Andy's Child, the awkwardness. Here's
your host, Brady Brosky. Oh, I'm so excited.
Speaker 3 (00:27):
I'm like nervous and excited, and it's gonna be fun,
mainly because I've been talking about this for way too long,
but it's finally here.
Speaker 1 (00:34):
We're doing it.
Speaker 3 (00:35):
Hit Me Brady one More Time podcast. We're gonna unleash
a whole bunch of memories that have kind of been
stuck in our heads for years because I wanted to
create a podcast where we can all just relive a
part of our lives. It's fun, it was innocent. A
lot of cases, it was better than it.
Speaker 1 (00:51):
Is right now.
Speaker 3 (00:52):
So we're gonna go back to the nineties, We're gonna
go back to the two thousands depending on the episode,
and we're gona do a deep dive about the things
of pop culture that really helped shape us throughout the years.
But mostly we're gonna have fun as what we wanna do.
My name is Brady Broski. Over fifteen years a pop
radio experience, done everything from program KISSFM here in Chicago
(01:15):
to literally being an intern getting Rihanna t that's a
true story, true story, avid pop.
Speaker 1 (01:22):
Culture connoisseur and your your party host. So let's do this.
Speaker 3 (01:27):
Let's get out my magic carpet that's in a Laddin
reference which we'll get into as well at some point,
the best Disney cartoon movie ever.
Speaker 1 (01:35):
And let's have some fun.
Speaker 3 (01:36):
So today's inaugural premiere, first time episode ever is one
you'll find I'm very passionate about in this podcast, music
from the nineties. So joining me today, I had to
bring in my fellow music nerd, which I mean with
all due respect and love, of course and admiration.
Speaker 1 (01:56):
It's really like a term of endearment, a.
Speaker 3 (01:58):
Guy who's also worked on air and off air on
some legendary radio stations throughout the country managing traffic reporter
and producer for radio and TV. Got that wrong, you'll
correct me. But most importantly, one of my best buds
and the absolute king of kickball, King of kickball, mister
(02:21):
Dan Ginsbrough.
Speaker 2 (02:22):
You got it like I'm gonna say, eighty five percent right.
I had to write it right before with a sharpie
yeah right, which is a problem is this this marker
that Yeah, I don't know how you even read that yourself. That, Yeah,
but you're here, I'm here, I am here. Yeah, no,
we obviously you and I go way back. Was you know,
(02:43):
this concept was something I know we uh you pitched
to me probably what two three months ago. At this point,
I was pumped about it, honored of course to be here.
So thank you.
Speaker 3 (02:52):
Yeah, we have to do it because we are both,
like I said, like crazy music lovers. We've had group
texts about the most obscure song from the nineties and
two thousands, and you, like me, just kind of like
grew up loving pop music and music in general.
Speaker 2 (03:07):
Yeah, oh t no, I mean I remember this was
like the well, one of the first things we bonded over.
We've been friends now for I think eleven years, and
I think the first things we bonded over were at
the time the fact that we were both newly single.
Speaker 3 (03:20):
Of course, oh we love, we love that. We were
each other's wing men for quite something.
Speaker 2 (03:25):
Yeah, back in the day. Now you know, we've grown
and matured and found partners. But it was that and
like music chart dorkiness, both of us knowing random tidbits
of info from what song spent the most weeks in
the top five in nineteen ninety three. No, you know
that was that was stuff we connected on way back.
Speaker 3 (03:44):
And then I'm glad you said that because that's what
today's episode is all about, music from the nineties exactly.
So I had I had a task to ask you
before we jumped into here, Yes, and it was I
want you to think of the three most influential ninety
songs ever, only three. That's a tough thing to ask
because the whole decade. I mean, you start off in
the nineties, you've got you know, hair metal getting into grunge,
(04:07):
then you go in the middle nineties, which was a
little all over the place, and then late nineties just
turns into like bubblegum pop, like Central USA.
Speaker 1 (04:15):
So it's like, what are those three songs? Yeah?
Speaker 2 (04:17):
No, And I'm going to be interested to obviously hear yours,
because we have not shared this ahead of time with
each other what we picked. But I'm also interested to
hear like what you used as your criteria, because I
know a thing for me was wanting to encompass all
of that you had, like the you know, alternative grunge area.
You had like R and B and hip hop having
its extended moment. You had, you know, the teen pop
(04:40):
and the boy bands and all that, so trying to
encompass all those different eras within one decade.
Speaker 3 (04:45):
I purposely did not give you criteria. And that's why
because I thought if we gave the same criteria, we
might come up with the same songs. But even if
we did, like you said, we don't know each other songs.
We have a backup plan because I'm going to give
my three first, then you're going to give your three,
but you can up with six. In the weird situation
that you would have the same songs as me.
Speaker 2 (05:04):
Well, I have, so Levis, I had like I think,
like seventeen. When I started that, I was considering, Wow,
I had two that I was like confident that I
wanted to be two of my three. The third one
I debated for a while, settled on a third, and
then I narrowed it down to yes, six backups. So
I don't know which If you do have one of mine,
it's going to be like a spur of the moment
(05:26):
decision which in my backups I'm going to slide in,
But that may depend on what your other two were.
Speaker 1 (05:30):
But I like your criteria though.
Speaker 3 (05:32):
Your criteria is songs that kind of give like a
piece of the nineties, right, the different genres, the different styles,
what music was in that entire decade.
Speaker 2 (05:42):
Yeah, definitely mine.
Speaker 1 (05:44):
Okay.
Speaker 3 (05:45):
My criteria was I wanted like timeless songs. I wanted
to give three songs where if I give you the
opening lyric of the song, anybody, no matter what your age,
where you grew up in, you know what music style
you love the most, we would be able to give
me the second line of that song.
Speaker 1 (06:03):
That's my Critteria.
Speaker 2 (06:04):
Okay, that's definitely I wouldn't say that was like something
I considered, although I would probably apply to a couple
of minds. So I'm very very curious.
Speaker 1 (06:13):
So then let's play a little game while we're doing this.
Speaker 3 (06:15):
Okay, I'm gonna give you the first line of my song, right,
no pressure on the spot. These these are really just
some of the biggest songs of all time.
Speaker 2 (06:24):
I think you'll do. Okay, So here we go. I'll
just have to see myself. Yeah, you don't get this?
Is this is it for Dan? This podcast we got? Okay,
So song number one, are we going chronologically, or we
go for your three? Are you going chronologically? Are you
going like your biggest Oh? Yeah, like want number one
(06:45):
to number three? I think I think all three are
created equal to be honest.
Speaker 3 (06:48):
Okay, okay, yeah, and but it just so happens their
chronologue chronological. Okay, there you go, number one. The line
is I like big butts and I cannot lie.
Speaker 2 (06:58):
I never heard of that song in my life A
lot obviously, baby.
Speaker 1 (07:03):
What what's the next thing? I like big butts and
I cannot lie.
Speaker 2 (07:06):
You other brothers can't deny when the girl walks in
with an idy bitty waist and around thing in your face?
You can we can get stopped there, yet we're cut
it off there.
Speaker 3 (07:15):
Nineteen ninety two, certain Mixed Lot Baby Got Back. As
Wikipedia gives its synopsis of the song, it's the first
verse begins with I like big butts and I cannot lie.
But most of the song is about the rappers attraction
to women with large buttocks. However, the second and third
verse challenge mainstream norms of beauty.
Speaker 2 (07:35):
That is true, it's deep. I never know that was
that deep. Yeah, when you think about it. He was
pointing out that there's like a pop culture desire for
skinny everything.
Speaker 1 (07:46):
But he was pushing back against the supermodel era.
Speaker 3 (07:48):
Right, Yeah, yeah, I think it kind of made me
and molded me to become the butt.
Speaker 2 (07:52):
Guy that I am today, because you're either booze, but
I was not a butt guy in ninety ninety two.
Did you say that sounds right?
Speaker 3 (07:59):
Yeah?
Speaker 2 (07:59):
I was not a buck guye night. Well, Also, to
be fair, I was ten years old.
Speaker 3 (08:03):
We're also we're also on layering some issues here. Okay,
you don't like a lot of music in this era,
in this early nineties era, as a kid, I felt
like this song I had to sneak in, Like I
feel like if if Mom heard me like playing this,
like what are you?
Speaker 1 (08:19):
What is this? I thought that.
Speaker 3 (08:20):
However, I'm at a family gathering all of a sudden,
Uncle Scott over here is like I like big butts,
and I'm like, oh, adults like this too. It was
one of those just comical, kind of fun, very like
very unique sound, and I think I think it probab family.
Speaker 2 (08:37):
I mean, I think it was maybe relatable is not
the right word, but it was more of a f
like if you compare it to like Snoop Dogg.
Speaker 1 (08:46):
It was safer than snoop, right, yeah, right, yeah, it was.
It was these balls, it was it was. It was
a little safer than that.
Speaker 2 (08:53):
It wasn't laced with profanity, wasn't something you could you'd
be humiliated to hear around your parents.
Speaker 3 (09:00):
Do you agree, though, If we walked out there, oh yeah,
and asked anybody to finish that lyric, they could write, I.
Speaker 2 (09:05):
Would say, even people who were not born in ninety two,
Like I think you could ask two thousands babies. I
think you could give them a line and they would
know it.
Speaker 1 (09:12):
Yep.
Speaker 2 (09:12):
And of course and then obviously covered by Nicki minaj.
Speaker 3 (09:17):
Anaconda, Yeah yeah, yeah, number one for five weeks in
ninety two, one of the greatest hip hop songs of
all time, according to VH one, because nobody knows hip
hop songs like VH one, But mainly it's just a song.
Speaker 1 (09:27):
Everyone is number two.
Speaker 3 (09:29):
Okay, finish this lyric my number two of most influential
songs in that Sperio.
Speaker 1 (09:35):
So tell me what you want, what you really really want.
Speaker 2 (09:38):
I'll tell you what I want, what I really really want.
Spice girls want to be all right? We have no
overlapt Oh good, good, good nineteen ninety seven. Well it
came out in ninety six.
Speaker 3 (09:48):
That's a great pick. Came into ninety seven. Look, I
mean Spice Girls right like they changed, They had a
whole revolution.
Speaker 1 (09:54):
It was girl power. It was a movement worldwide. They
had dolls, did the movie.
Speaker 3 (09:59):
And just to this day, I feel as though women
will get together with the girls and be like, let's
be the Spice Girls for Halloween. Like there's not a
lot of artists, maybe the Beatles, like who tries to
be like a group right for Halloween?
Speaker 2 (10:12):
Right? That transcends years and years and years beyond when
the group was even a thing.
Speaker 1 (10:16):
Yeah, that's a great pick.
Speaker 3 (10:18):
Best selling song, by the way, by a girl group
in the United States ever, really by any group, but
more than I thought Fifth Harmony would be up there,
just because at that time they were like so hot.
Speaker 1 (10:29):
Yeah, Dussy's child. Yeah, the Ice Girls want to.
Speaker 2 (10:31):
Be Destiny's Child would have been my guess. Huh number three? Okay,
you are my fire, my one desire. It feels weird
when especially get to stay, but I might ask you
to leave. The way you looked at me and said
my desire. I was just gazing deep into your eyes
and get it. It happens that. By the way, it
(10:52):
was probably my first backup, but we officially did not
overlap on.
Speaker 1 (10:56):
Our three amazing Okay, I can't wait to hear yours.
Speaker 3 (10:59):
So I considered the greatest boy band song of all time,
of all the boy band songs ever, not necessarily the
greatest boy band, but definitely the best boy band song
of all time. It took like that boy band craze
to a complete whole new level.
Speaker 1 (11:13):
Nineteen ninety nine.
Speaker 3 (11:14):
It came out right then them in sync were like
right next to each other as far as popularity. But
I think this propelled Backstreet and then instinct came back.
Speaker 1 (11:23):
Yeah, and then they went over them.
Speaker 3 (11:25):
But I still think if you say you are my
fire out there, ten out of ten people are going
to know the rest of the song. So Rolling Stone
magazine calls the Backstreet Boys the greatest boy band of
all time, which that's their biggest song.
Speaker 1 (11:39):
So I had to put it on here and nominated.
Speaker 3 (11:41):
I did not know this nominated for three Grammys and
was number one at pop radio at the time, setting
records for most amout of weeks, which I didn't realize either.
Speaker 1 (11:51):
They must have been like fourteen weeks and number one
or something like that.
Speaker 2 (11:53):
Yeah, I saw it like they had two pop number ones,
eleven top tens, which was more longevity than I would
have guessed.
Speaker 1 (12:02):
That's when it when.
Speaker 3 (12:03):
Whenever we get to this debate, and we will in
sinc fac Street, we will get to that. I always say,
bottom line is in Sync was at their height the
way higher than Backstreet Boys ever was at their height,
but Backstreet was higher for longer.
Speaker 2 (12:20):
Yeah longevity. Yeah, right, so there you go. I think
you also when a debate for another time, but then
you also have to factor in I think, do you
consider solo success from members of that group after the fact? No, no, yeah, yeah,
yeah yeah, even then I think, well I would lean
Backstreet Boys. But again, debate for another time.
Speaker 1 (12:42):
I may too.
Speaker 3 (12:43):
We'll have to find out episode sixty nine, but we're
on episode one.
Speaker 2 (12:47):
I was leaning West Life now wear it again?
Speaker 3 (12:55):
Wow, you bust out West Life off right off the bat? Huh?
Speaker 2 (12:59):
I would Westlife than O Town? Then soul decision.
Speaker 1 (13:03):
Faded is it's a bop me.
Speaker 2 (13:06):
There's no dispute in it.
Speaker 1 (13:07):
If you play Faded.
Speaker 3 (13:08):
If I play Faded on the radio right now, people,
I would get fired, but like two or three people
went to enjoy it.
Speaker 2 (13:14):
Right. Four, maybe there would be people in our demographic
who would instantly recognize it in free texting.
Speaker 1 (13:20):
Yeah, their forty year old friends.
Speaker 3 (13:23):
Okay, So just to recap my top three ninety songs,
influential ninety songs that kind of defined the decade. Number
one Sir Mixlapebe got back. Number two Spice Girls want
to be number three Battery Boys. I want it that way,
Dan Ginsberg.
Speaker 2 (13:38):
Yes, I mean I cannot dispute any of those picks.
Three great picks. Yeah, but I took a little bit
of a different angle. So I'm gonna go chronologically. And
the first one, which I think hits on a big
era that we referenced earlier but wasn't covered by year three,
nineteen ninety one Nirvana smells like teen.
Speaker 1 (13:57):
Spirit arguably one of the great videos of all time.
Speaker 2 (14:00):
Yes, great video, I mean great, one of the greatest
albums of all time. I just feel like representative of
iconic moments, and I have such memories and this is where, like,
how many years apart are we three?
Speaker 1 (14:13):
I think three?
Speaker 2 (14:13):
Yeah, I mean this is where but for me I
was nine, ten eleven years old. I feel like that
that's a big three year gap at that time in
our lives. But I just have such memories of you know,
going to like middle school parties and people trying to
form mosh pits so dangerous. Yeah, right, right right, But
I mean it was such such a cultural moment, and
(14:36):
I feel like Nirvana ushered that in. You know, obviously
a huge awful moment in pop culture, you know, with
how that all ended up, but yeah, you know that
ushered in the Offspring and Stone Temple Pilots and that
whole era, And I mean the fact I was curious
looking back how that did. Crossing Over obviously was a
massive alternative hit. I peaked at number nine. Yeah, so
(14:59):
it was a to ten pop song for a which
you don't see that often.
Speaker 3 (15:03):
Very rarely, you know, I program here Kiss FM in Chicago.
Very rarely does a song that hard make it to
pop because when you start thinking about your mainstream audience,
they hear something that's not like down the middle pop.
Speaker 1 (15:15):
They're like, what am I listening to? What is this?
And they're confused, and they had that like kind of cool.
Speaker 2 (15:20):
Factor to it. Yeah, but it was definitely way different
than anything, right, and I also feel like that ushered
in an era of pop. There was a period of time,
early mid nineties where pop really encompassed such a wide
range of genres like you had that led the way
for other like grunge alternative rock songs to you know,
(15:41):
make their way to the mainstream. And then you had
hip hop and R and B mixed in there. You
had like your pure pop, which I'm gonna get to
in my next one here. So I feel like that
was just such a like transcendental moment in nineties pops.
Speaker 1 (15:53):
No argument for me.
Speaker 3 (15:54):
Nervona s Mills like teen Spirit, one of the most
influential songs of all time, not just the nineties. However,
if you did go outside and has people to finish
the lyric, it's impossible because nobody knows the actual words.
Speaker 2 (16:03):
Right, No, right, I don't even think I could have
finished the lyric in nineteen ninety one.
Speaker 1 (16:06):
Yeah, great number one, Yeah, yeah, all right.
Speaker 2 (16:08):
So the second one, this is an this is really
kind of like an She's there because of the artist.
I felt like, talking about nineties music, I could not
have it, have three songs and not have Mariah Carey
be a part of them. Love me some Moriah so,
but the actual song is an interesting pick that I
(16:30):
questioned myself at first, and then the more I thought
about it did a little research, the better I felt
about it. I'm going nineteen ninety five Mariah Carey and
Boys to Men One Sweet Day.
Speaker 1 (16:42):
Now, let me ask you this question. Is that a
Mariah Carey.
Speaker 2 (16:46):
Song that was on her I want to say that
was on her album.
Speaker 3 (16:53):
I don't care whose album it was on, because you're right,
if you look at the nineties as a whole, between
the two artists, that's two megastars. That's like this Bruno
Mars and Lady Gaga record right now, two megastars crying together, right,
I think that one's set records too.
Speaker 1 (17:07):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (17:07):
Well so yeah, so she Well, first off, she had
twelve number ones in the nineties, including her first ten
singles all went number one, which has never happened at radio.
I mean you, you would have a more expert opinion
at this started, but it's never gonna happen. Let go.
Speaker 3 (17:27):
I'll be there was in there emotions. Yeah, yeah, it
was a run that will never it'll never be repeated. Yeah,
she had. She had eighteen top tens in a row.
That was the fifteenth of eighteen. It was for Boys
to Men. It was their fifth and final number one,
So they had five number ones. They had nine top
(17:48):
ten hits as well, I mean, and so that was
part of my motivation for choosing this is I felt
like Mariah Carey had to be somewhere in my three
songs because she was I mean verst first of all
personally speaking, like she was an early like crush of
my you know, celebrity crush. So she yeah, sure.
Speaker 2 (18:06):
She, I mean, she had the vocal range, the high
notes that we hadn't heard anything like that in our lifetimes.
And then you bring in Boys to Men because then
you also point to the R and B takeover that
happened around ninety five ninety six, and they.
Speaker 3 (18:20):
Were such a huge part of that. Yeah, love that pick,
Love that pick. Memories of that song. Very awkward dancing
at high school dances or middle school dances to a
song that in that nature, But we did, Yep, we
weren't scared. Yep, we wanted to slow dance with Jen
McCollum no matter what the song was at the time.
But no, that's a great I mean, yeah, that song
(18:40):
came out and it was. It was everywhere. Yeah, you
couldn't escape it. And you're right, man, you got it.
You got to include Mariah in some nineties list because
she is she she was the.
Speaker 1 (18:49):
Queen of that day. Yeah for sure.
Speaker 2 (18:51):
Yeah. And the only only my only hesitancy with that
is that it is I wouldn't say it's anywhere close
to the most iconic Mariah song of today. It didn't
want for Christmas as you well, sure, yeah, but I
mean I feel like fantasy hero. We belong Together, Yeah,
we belonged together, which came a lot later obviously, but yeah,
though it didn't quite stay on the test of time,
(19:12):
but it was massive. If you were alive and in
touch with pop music, pop culture at all in the
mid nineties, you.
Speaker 1 (19:20):
It was on every mixtape. It was on every mixtape.
Yeah for sure.
Speaker 2 (19:24):
All right. So my third, We're going to the toward
the end of the decade. It is, uh, probably an
obvious pick for this podcast given the title, Uh, We're
going Britney Spears Baby one More Time Solid I actually
debated sometimes, reason being sometimes was the follow up to
Baby One More Time.
Speaker 3 (19:45):
Wait a minute, Wait a minute, Wait a minute? You
were going to put sometimes over Baby One More Time.
Speaker 2 (19:48):
I debated it because Baby One More Time was like
the first It could have been a fad, right, We
didn't really have a lot of big teen female pop
stars at the time. You get this one song, and
I think at the time it was like, is this
just a one hit wonder that was going to go away?
(20:09):
And then I think when Sometimes came along followed it
up was massive as well, led to a bunch of
huge hits for her. You know, Christina Aguilera came out
around that time, you had Mandy Moore, you had Jessica Simpson.
That I feel like Sometimes solidified that, like this was
not just like a one off. This was like a
trend of teen female pop stars having like pure pop hits.
Speaker 3 (20:31):
You were gonna put Sometimes on there as proof that
what this sound was is here to stick.
Speaker 2 (20:36):
Yes, second, but at the end of the day, Baby
One More Time was just too massive.
Speaker 1 (20:41):
It was her.
Speaker 2 (20:41):
It was a massive It was a huge number one
for her. It was her first of six number ones,
her first of fourteen top tens. And again, really looking back,
once you saw Sometimes and once you saw Christina and
all these others come along, you know, I think it
pretty clearly defined the start of that teen pop era.
Speaker 3 (20:58):
And right what I said from the gag, go right,
you have Nirvana as your one, you have Brittany as
your three. Couldn't be more opposite sounds of pop music,
but both were huge hits, right and still are to
this day.
Speaker 2 (21:10):
And kind of book ended the decade.
Speaker 3 (21:12):
And I'll tell you what, being probably in my late
teens when Brittany started coming uh into the into the
pop culture medium. It was great because all of a sudden,
all the girls that I knew and wanted to date,
like started.
Speaker 1 (21:25):
Wanting to be her form her right right, A lot
of Halloween stuff.
Speaker 2 (21:28):
Yeah, right, the video, I mean that would be another
thing for the video. I think sometimes video too. I
mean those were you know, teenage boy staring at the
TV moments I was in. I was a junior in
high school at boarding school, and I just remember sitting.
Speaker 1 (21:43):
Around and you know that you ran home to TRL.
Speaker 2 (21:47):
Yeah, I mean I just remember all the all of
us teenage boys just like sitting in the in the
common area of the of the dorms, just staring, mouths
wide open, watching those videos.
Speaker 3 (21:58):
Yeah, very memorable for sure. Okay, I love it. So
we've got just to recap. I like big Butts, I
can't on Liser, Mixed a Lot, Baby Got Back, Spice,
Girls want to be actually boys. I want it that
way Vanas Mills like teen Spirit, One Sweet Day, Mariah
and Boys to Men and Britney Baby One More Time.
Speaker 2 (22:16):
I was gonna do Brittany, really, but that was the
one I thought we were going to overlap on. I mean,
given the name of the show, but I didn't want
it to be so obby. Yeah.
Speaker 3 (22:25):
People are probably listening to this right now, like, is
this a podcast about Britney?
Speaker 1 (22:28):
Sorry, it's not. It isn't. It's just so old talking
about tom.
Speaker 3 (22:32):
Sure she'll pop up, But I think that's a solid list,
I really do. I Mean, the one debate I would
have with yours is like the Mariah pick, but you
could insert song here with Mariah because all of them
are right.
Speaker 1 (22:45):
At the end of the day.
Speaker 2 (22:46):
That one spent the most weeks at number one at
the time, and it got and it allowed me to
mention Boys to Men and the you know, the R
and B invasion as well. That was that was what
pushed me that way.
Speaker 3 (22:56):
What we're now, I'm curious, we're giving a just give
me a couple your.
Speaker 2 (23:01):
As the bass the signs.
Speaker 1 (23:02):
That's really good. There's a full house episode yeah with that.
Speaker 2 (23:06):
Yeah, Yeah, Oasis Wonderwall. I felt like that, that's one
of the ones that I feel like most stood the
test of time. That's like an iconic song.
Speaker 1 (23:17):
That would that would pass my lyric test yep yep.
Speaker 2 (23:19):
And kind of like Bridge the pop like alt rock
Gap a little bit. I feel like I had to
put Donna Lewis I Love You Always Forever, just because
it's twelve weeks a number one, which was an all
time record until you know it was broken thirteen weeks
a couple of years ago by kid LOOI and uh
Bieber Stay Yeah, but for for most of a good
(23:40):
chunk of our lifetime Gap Yeah, and then Natalie and
buly A.
Speaker 1 (23:43):
Torn I just feel like iconic you.
Speaker 3 (23:46):
You definitely wanted to just say Natalie and Brulia at
some point on a microphone, Yeah, in your life?
Speaker 2 (23:52):
Am I pronouncing it correctly? I don't know. Did we
ever know how to pronounce in Bruglia in the silent.
Speaker 3 (23:57):
Well, let's uh, let's tweeter and find out.
Speaker 2 (24:00):
She's probably got time to respond, I think right now.
And the last one I had was Aaliyah. Are you
that somebody interesting? Yeah?
Speaker 1 (24:08):
Just the hip hop vibe.
Speaker 3 (24:10):
The now we have timbaland beats, we were starting to
we're starting to train, that's becoming more of like mainstream pop.
Speaker 2 (24:15):
Yeah. I feel like that was the forefront of bringing
hip hop back into like that taking more.
Speaker 1 (24:22):
Yeah, I love it. That's a great start, great list,
both of ours.
Speaker 3 (24:26):
I got to ask you though, with Brittany as your
third pick, were you team Brittany Christina?
Speaker 2 (24:31):
Oh? Man, I was team Christina?
Speaker 1 (24:33):
Actually yeah, yeah, well I was.
Speaker 3 (24:35):
There were neck and neck and then the dirty video
came out and I'm like, oh that's her off.
Speaker 1 (24:39):
Yeah, I know where I stand. I mean I was.
I would say, first.
Speaker 2 (24:44):
Off, you know vocal abilities, you have to give it
to Christina, and yeah, I mean some of those. I mean,
I don't know if I could have picked looks wise
as a teenage boy, it was I mean, I was
too shy to talk to real at that age. So
it was awesome staring with THEA.
Speaker 3 (25:06):
On that note, I think we'll wrap up episode one.

the movies, the music.
Speaker 1 (00:14):
Give it up for death, Andy's Child, the awkwardness. Here's
your host, Brady Brosky. Oh, I'm so excited.
Speaker 3 (00:27):
I'm like nervous and excited, and it's gonna be fun,
mainly because I've been talking about this for way too long,
but it's finally here.
Speaker 1 (00:34):
We're doing it.
Speaker 3 (00:35):
Hit Me Brady one More Time podcast. We're gonna unleash
a whole bunch of memories that have kind of been
stuck in our heads for years because I wanted to
create a podcast where we can all just relive a
part of our lives. It's fun, it was innocent. A
lot of cases, it was better than it.
Speaker 1 (00:51):
Is right now.
Speaker 3 (00:52):
So we're gonna go back to the nineties, We're gonna
go back to the two thousands depending on the episode,
and we're gona do a deep dive about the things
of pop culture that really helped shape us throughout the years.
But mostly we're gonna have fun as what we wanna do.
My name is Brady Broski. Over fifteen years a pop
radio experience, done everything from program KISSFM here in Chicago
(01:15):
to literally being an intern getting Rihanna t that's a
true story, true story, avid pop.
Speaker 1 (01:22):
Culture connoisseur and your your party host. So let's do this.
Speaker 3 (01:27):
Let's get out my magic carpet that's in a Laddin
reference which we'll get into as well at some point,
the best Disney cartoon movie ever.
Speaker 1 (01:35):
And let's have some fun.
Speaker 3 (01:36):
So today's inaugural premiere, first time episode ever is one
you'll find I'm very passionate about in this podcast, music
from the nineties. So joining me today, I had to
bring in my fellow music nerd, which I mean with
all due respect and love, of course and admiration.
Speaker 1 (01:56):
It's really like a term of endearment, a.
Speaker 3 (01:58):
Guy who's also worked on air and off air on
some legendary radio stations throughout the country managing traffic reporter
and producer for radio and TV. Got that wrong, you'll
correct me. But most importantly, one of my best buds
and the absolute king of kickball, King of kickball, mister
(02:21):
Dan Ginsbrough.
Speaker 2 (02:22):
You got it like I'm gonna say, eighty five percent right.
I had to write it right before with a sharpie
yeah right, which is a problem is this this marker
that Yeah, I don't know how you even read that yourself. That, Yeah,
but you're here, I'm here, I am here. Yeah, no,
we obviously you and I go way back. Was you know,
(02:43):
this concept was something I know we uh you pitched
to me probably what two three months ago. At this point,
I was pumped about it, honored of course to be here.
So thank you.
Speaker 3 (02:52):
Yeah, we have to do it because we are both,
like I said, like crazy music lovers. We've had group
texts about the most obscure song from the nineties and
two thousands, and you, like me, just kind of like
grew up loving pop music and music in general.
Speaker 2 (03:07):
Yeah, oh t no, I mean I remember this was
like the well, one of the first things we bonded over.
We've been friends now for I think eleven years, and
I think the first things we bonded over were at
the time the fact that we were both newly single.
Speaker 3 (03:20):
Of course, oh we love, we love that. We were
each other's wing men for quite something.
Speaker 2 (03:25):
Yeah, back in the day. Now you know, we've grown
and matured and found partners. But it was that and
like music chart dorkiness, both of us knowing random tidbits
of info from what song spent the most weeks in
the top five in nineteen ninety three. No, you know
that was that was stuff we connected on way back.
Speaker 3 (03:44):
And then I'm glad you said that because that's what
today's episode is all about, music from the nineties exactly.
So I had I had a task to ask you
before we jumped into here, Yes, and it was I
want you to think of the three most influential ninety
songs ever, only three. That's a tough thing to ask
because the whole decade. I mean, you start off in
the nineties, you've got you know, hair metal getting into grunge,
(04:07):
then you go in the middle nineties, which was a
little all over the place, and then late nineties just
turns into like bubblegum pop, like Central USA.
Speaker 1 (04:15):
So it's like, what are those three songs? Yeah?
Speaker 2 (04:17):
No, And I'm going to be interested to obviously hear yours,
because we have not shared this ahead of time with
each other what we picked. But I'm also interested to
hear like what you used as your criteria, because I
know a thing for me was wanting to encompass all
of that you had, like the you know, alternative grunge area.
You had like R and B and hip hop having
its extended moment. You had, you know, the teen pop
(04:40):
and the boy bands and all that, so trying to
encompass all those different eras within one decade.
Speaker 3 (04:45):
I purposely did not give you criteria. And that's why
because I thought if we gave the same criteria, we
might come up with the same songs. But even if
we did, like you said, we don't know each other songs.
We have a backup plan because I'm going to give
my three first, then you're going to give your three,
but you can up with six. In the weird situation
that you would have the same songs as me.
Speaker 2 (05:04):
Well, I have, so Levis, I had like I think,
like seventeen. When I started that, I was considering, Wow,
I had two that I was like confident that I
wanted to be two of my three. The third one
I debated for a while, settled on a third, and
then I narrowed it down to yes, six backups. So
I don't know which If you do have one of mine,
it's going to be like a spur of the moment
(05:26):
decision which in my backups I'm going to slide in,
But that may depend on what your other two were.
Speaker 1 (05:30):
But I like your criteria though.
Speaker 3 (05:32):
Your criteria is songs that kind of give like a
piece of the nineties, right, the different genres, the different styles,
what music was in that entire decade.
Speaker 2 (05:42):
Yeah, definitely mine.
Speaker 1 (05:44):
Okay.
Speaker 3 (05:45):
My criteria was I wanted like timeless songs. I wanted
to give three songs where if I give you the
opening lyric of the song, anybody, no matter what your age,
where you grew up in, you know what music style
you love the most, we would be able to give
me the second line of that song.
Speaker 1 (06:03):
That's my Critteria.
Speaker 2 (06:04):
Okay, that's definitely I wouldn't say that was like something
I considered, although I would probably apply to a couple
of minds. So I'm very very curious.
Speaker 1 (06:13):
So then let's play a little game while we're doing this.
Speaker 3 (06:15):
Okay, I'm gonna give you the first line of my song, right,
no pressure on the spot. These these are really just
some of the biggest songs of all time.
Speaker 2 (06:24):
I think you'll do. Okay, So here we go. I'll
just have to see myself. Yeah, you don't get this?
Is this is it for Dan? This podcast we got? Okay,
So song number one, are we going chronologically, or we
go for your three? Are you going chronologically? Are you
going like your biggest Oh? Yeah, like want number one
(06:45):
to number three? I think I think all three are
created equal to be honest.
Speaker 3 (06:48):
Okay, okay, yeah, and but it just so happens their
chronologue chronological. Okay, there you go, number one. The line
is I like big butts and I cannot lie.
Speaker 2 (06:58):
I never heard of that song in my life A
lot obviously, baby.
Speaker 1 (07:03):
What what's the next thing? I like big butts and
I cannot lie.
Speaker 2 (07:06):
You other brothers can't deny when the girl walks in
with an idy bitty waist and around thing in your face?
You can we can get stopped there, yet we're cut
it off there.
Speaker 3 (07:15):
Nineteen ninety two, certain Mixed Lot Baby Got Back. As
Wikipedia gives its synopsis of the song, it's the first
verse begins with I like big butts and I cannot lie.
But most of the song is about the rappers attraction
to women with large buttocks. However, the second and third
verse challenge mainstream norms of beauty.
Speaker 2 (07:35):
That is true, it's deep. I never know that was
that deep. Yeah, when you think about it. He was
pointing out that there's like a pop culture desire for
skinny everything.
Speaker 1 (07:46):
But he was pushing back against the supermodel era.
Speaker 3 (07:48):
Right, Yeah, yeah, I think it kind of made me
and molded me to become the butt.
Speaker 2 (07:52):
Guy that I am today, because you're either booze, but
I was not a butt guy in ninety ninety two.
Did you say that sounds right?
Speaker 3 (07:59):
Yeah?
Speaker 2 (07:59):
I was not a buck guye night. Well, Also, to
be fair, I was ten years old.
Speaker 3 (08:03):
We're also we're also on layering some issues here. Okay,
you don't like a lot of music in this era,
in this early nineties era, as a kid, I felt
like this song I had to sneak in, Like I
feel like if if Mom heard me like playing this,
like what are you?
Speaker 1 (08:19):
What is this? I thought that.
Speaker 3 (08:20):
However, I'm at a family gathering all of a sudden,
Uncle Scott over here is like I like big butts,
and I'm like, oh, adults like this too. It was
one of those just comical, kind of fun, very like
very unique sound, and I think I think it probab family.
Speaker 2 (08:37):
I mean, I think it was maybe relatable is not
the right word, but it was more of a f
like if you compare it to like Snoop Dogg.
Speaker 1 (08:46):
It was safer than snoop, right, yeah, right, yeah, it was.
It was these balls, it was it was. It was
a little safer than that.
Speaker 2 (08:53):
It wasn't laced with profanity, wasn't something you could you'd
be humiliated to hear around your parents.
Speaker 3 (09:00):
Do you agree, though, If we walked out there, oh yeah,
and asked anybody to finish that lyric, they could write, I.
Speaker 2 (09:05):
Would say, even people who were not born in ninety two,
Like I think you could ask two thousands babies. I
think you could give them a line and they would
know it.
Speaker 1 (09:12):
Yep.
Speaker 2 (09:12):
And of course and then obviously covered by Nicki minaj.
Speaker 3 (09:17):
Anaconda, Yeah yeah, yeah, number one for five weeks in
ninety two, one of the greatest hip hop songs of
all time, according to VH one, because nobody knows hip
hop songs like VH one, But mainly it's just a song.
Speaker 1 (09:27):
Everyone is number two.
Speaker 3 (09:29):
Okay, finish this lyric my number two of most influential
songs in that Sperio.
Speaker 1 (09:35):
So tell me what you want, what you really really want.
Speaker 2 (09:38):
I'll tell you what I want, what I really really want.
Spice girls want to be all right? We have no
overlapt Oh good, good, good nineteen ninety seven. Well it
came out in ninety six.
Speaker 3 (09:48):
That's a great pick. Came into ninety seven. Look, I
mean Spice Girls right like they changed, They had a
whole revolution.
Speaker 1 (09:54):
It was girl power. It was a movement worldwide. They
had dolls, did the movie.
Speaker 3 (09:59):
And just to this day, I feel as though women
will get together with the girls and be like, let's
be the Spice Girls for Halloween. Like there's not a
lot of artists, maybe the Beatles, like who tries to
be like a group right for Halloween?
Speaker 2 (10:12):
Right? That transcends years and years and years beyond when
the group was even a thing.
Speaker 1 (10:16):
Yeah, that's a great pick.
Speaker 3 (10:18):
Best selling song, by the way, by a girl group
in the United States ever, really by any group, but
more than I thought Fifth Harmony would be up there,
just because at that time they were like so hot.
Speaker 1 (10:29):
Yeah, Dussy's child. Yeah, the Ice Girls want to.
Speaker 2 (10:31):
Be Destiny's Child would have been my guess. Huh number three? Okay,
you are my fire, my one desire. It feels weird
when especially get to stay, but I might ask you
to leave. The way you looked at me and said
my desire. I was just gazing deep into your eyes
and get it. It happens that. By the way, it
(10:52):
was probably my first backup, but we officially did not
overlap on.
Speaker 1 (10:56):
Our three amazing Okay, I can't wait to hear yours.
Speaker 3 (10:59):
So I considered the greatest boy band song of all time,
of all the boy band songs ever, not necessarily the
greatest boy band, but definitely the best boy band song
of all time. It took like that boy band craze
to a complete whole new level.
Speaker 1 (11:13):
Nineteen ninety nine.
Speaker 3 (11:14):
It came out right then them in sync were like
right next to each other as far as popularity. But
I think this propelled Backstreet and then instinct came back.
Speaker 1 (11:23):
Yeah, and then they went over them.
Speaker 3 (11:25):
But I still think if you say you are my
fire out there, ten out of ten people are going
to know the rest of the song. So Rolling Stone
magazine calls the Backstreet Boys the greatest boy band of
all time, which that's their biggest song.
Speaker 1 (11:39):
So I had to put it on here and nominated.
Speaker 3 (11:41):
I did not know this nominated for three Grammys and
was number one at pop radio at the time, setting
records for most amout of weeks, which I didn't realize either.
Speaker 1 (11:51):
They must have been like fourteen weeks and number one
or something like that.
Speaker 2 (11:53):
Yeah, I saw it like they had two pop number ones,
eleven top tens, which was more longevity than I would
have guessed.
Speaker 1 (12:02):
That's when it when.
Speaker 3 (12:03):
Whenever we get to this debate, and we will in
sinc fac Street, we will get to that. I always say,
bottom line is in Sync was at their height the
way higher than Backstreet Boys ever was at their height,
but Backstreet was higher for longer.
Speaker 2 (12:20):
Yeah longevity. Yeah, right, so there you go. I think
you also when a debate for another time, but then
you also have to factor in I think, do you
consider solo success from members of that group after the fact? No, no, yeah, yeah,
yeah yeah, even then I think, well I would lean
Backstreet Boys. But again, debate for another time.
Speaker 1 (12:42):
I may too.
Speaker 3 (12:43):
We'll have to find out episode sixty nine, but we're
on episode one.
Speaker 2 (12:47):
I was leaning West Life now wear it again?
Speaker 3 (12:55):
Wow, you bust out West Life off right off the bat? Huh?
Speaker 2 (12:59):
I would Westlife than O Town? Then soul decision.
Speaker 1 (13:03):
Faded is it's a bop me.
Speaker 2 (13:06):
There's no dispute in it.
Speaker 1 (13:07):
If you play Faded.
Speaker 3 (13:08):
If I play Faded on the radio right now, people,
I would get fired, but like two or three people
went to enjoy it.
Speaker 2 (13:14):
Right. Four, maybe there would be people in our demographic
who would instantly recognize it in free texting.
Speaker 1 (13:20):
Yeah, their forty year old friends.
Speaker 3 (13:23):
Okay, So just to recap my top three ninety songs,
influential ninety songs that kind of defined the decade. Number
one Sir Mixlapebe got back. Number two Spice Girls want
to be number three Battery Boys. I want it that way,
Dan Ginsberg.
Speaker 2 (13:38):
Yes, I mean I cannot dispute any of those picks.
Three great picks. Yeah, but I took a little bit
of a different angle. So I'm gonna go chronologically. And
the first one, which I think hits on a big
era that we referenced earlier but wasn't covered by year three,
nineteen ninety one Nirvana smells like teen.
Speaker 1 (13:57):
Spirit arguably one of the great videos of all time.
Speaker 2 (14:00):
Yes, great video, I mean great, one of the greatest
albums of all time. I just feel like representative of
iconic moments, and I have such memories and this is where, like,
how many years apart are we three?
Speaker 1 (14:13):
I think three?
Speaker 2 (14:13):
Yeah, I mean this is where but for me I
was nine, ten eleven years old. I feel like that
that's a big three year gap at that time in
our lives. But I just have such memories of you know,
going to like middle school parties and people trying to
form mosh pits so dangerous. Yeah, right, right right, But
I mean it was such such a cultural moment, and
(14:36):
I feel like Nirvana ushered that in. You know, obviously
a huge awful moment in pop culture, you know, with
how that all ended up, but yeah, you know that
ushered in the Offspring and Stone Temple Pilots and that
whole era, And I mean the fact I was curious
looking back how that did. Crossing Over obviously was a
massive alternative hit. I peaked at number nine. Yeah, so
(14:59):
it was a to ten pop song for a which
you don't see that often.
Speaker 3 (15:03):
Very rarely, you know, I program here Kiss FM in Chicago.
Very rarely does a song that hard make it to
pop because when you start thinking about your mainstream audience,
they hear something that's not like down the middle pop.
Speaker 1 (15:15):
They're like, what am I listening to? What is this?
And they're confused, and they had that like kind of cool.
Speaker 2 (15:20):
Factor to it. Yeah, but it was definitely way different
than anything, right, and I also feel like that ushered
in an era of pop. There was a period of time,
early mid nineties where pop really encompassed such a wide
range of genres like you had that led the way
for other like grunge alternative rock songs to you know,
(15:41):
make their way to the mainstream. And then you had
hip hop and R and B mixed in there. You
had like your pure pop, which I'm gonna get to
in my next one here. So I feel like that
was just such a like transcendental moment in nineties pops.
Speaker 1 (15:53):
No argument for me.
Speaker 3 (15:54):
Nervona s Mills like teen Spirit, one of the most
influential songs of all time, not just the nineties. However,
if you did go outside and has people to finish
the lyric, it's impossible because nobody knows the actual words.
Speaker 2 (16:03):
Right, No, right, I don't even think I could have
finished the lyric in nineteen ninety one.
Speaker 1 (16:06):
Yeah, great number one, Yeah, yeah, all right.
Speaker 2 (16:08):
So the second one, this is an this is really
kind of like an She's there because of the artist.
I felt like, talking about nineties music, I could not
have it, have three songs and not have Mariah Carey
be a part of them. Love me some Moriah so,
but the actual song is an interesting pick that I
(16:30):
questioned myself at first, and then the more I thought
about it did a little research, the better I felt
about it. I'm going nineteen ninety five Mariah Carey and
Boys to Men One Sweet Day.
Speaker 1 (16:42):
Now, let me ask you this question. Is that a
Mariah Carey.
Speaker 2 (16:46):
Song that was on her I want to say that
was on her album.
Speaker 3 (16:53):
I don't care whose album it was on, because you're right,
if you look at the nineties as a whole, between
the two artists, that's two megastars. That's like this Bruno
Mars and Lady Gaga record right now, two megastars crying together, right,
I think that one's set records too.
Speaker 1 (17:07):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (17:07):
Well so yeah, so she Well, first off, she had
twelve number ones in the nineties, including her first ten
singles all went number one, which has never happened at radio.
I mean you, you would have a more expert opinion
at this started, but it's never gonna happen. Let go.
Speaker 3 (17:27):
I'll be there was in there emotions. Yeah, yeah, it
was a run that will never it'll never be repeated. Yeah,
she had. She had eighteen top tens in a row.
That was the fifteenth of eighteen. It was for Boys
to Men. It was their fifth and final number one,
So they had five number ones. They had nine top
(17:48):
ten hits as well, I mean, and so that was
part of my motivation for choosing this is I felt
like Mariah Carey had to be somewhere in my three
songs because she was I mean verst first of all
personally speaking, like she was an early like crush of
my you know, celebrity crush. So she yeah, sure.
Speaker 2 (18:06):
She, I mean, she had the vocal range, the high
notes that we hadn't heard anything like that in our lifetimes.
And then you bring in Boys to Men because then
you also point to the R and B takeover that
happened around ninety five ninety six, and they.
Speaker 3 (18:20):
Were such a huge part of that. Yeah, love that pick,
Love that pick. Memories of that song. Very awkward dancing
at high school dances or middle school dances to a
song that in that nature, But we did, Yep, we
weren't scared. Yep, we wanted to slow dance with Jen
McCollum no matter what the song was at the time.
But no, that's a great I mean, yeah, that song
(18:40):
came out and it was. It was everywhere. Yeah, you
couldn't escape it. And you're right, man, you got it.
You got to include Mariah in some nineties list because
she is she she was the.
Speaker 1 (18:49):
Queen of that day. Yeah for sure.
Speaker 2 (18:51):
Yeah. And the only only my only hesitancy with that
is that it is I wouldn't say it's anywhere close
to the most iconic Mariah song of today. It didn't
want for Christmas as you well, sure, yeah, but I
mean I feel like fantasy hero. We belong Together, Yeah,
we belonged together, which came a lot later obviously, but yeah,
though it didn't quite stay on the test of time,
(19:12):
but it was massive. If you were alive and in
touch with pop music, pop culture at all in the
mid nineties, you.
Speaker 1 (19:20):
It was on every mixtape. It was on every mixtape.
Yeah for sure.
Speaker 2 (19:24):
All right. So my third, We're going to the toward
the end of the decade. It is, uh, probably an
obvious pick for this podcast given the title, Uh, We're
going Britney Spears Baby one More Time Solid I actually
debated sometimes, reason being sometimes was the follow up to
Baby One More Time.
Speaker 3 (19:45):
Wait a minute, Wait a minute, Wait a minute? You
were going to put sometimes over Baby One More Time.
Speaker 2 (19:48):
I debated it because Baby One More Time was like
the first It could have been a fad, right, We
didn't really have a lot of big teen female pop
stars at the time. You get this one song, and
I think at the time it was like, is this
just a one hit wonder that was going to go away?
(20:09):
And then I think when Sometimes came along followed it
up was massive as well, led to a bunch of
huge hits for her. You know, Christina Aguilera came out
around that time, you had Mandy Moore, you had Jessica Simpson.
That I feel like Sometimes solidified that, like this was
not just like a one off. This was like a
trend of teen female pop stars having like pure pop hits.
Speaker 3 (20:31):
You were gonna put Sometimes on there as proof that
what this sound was is here to stick.
Speaker 2 (20:36):
Yes, second, but at the end of the day, Baby
One More Time was just too massive.
Speaker 1 (20:41):
It was her.
Speaker 2 (20:41):
It was a massive It was a huge number one
for her. It was her first of six number ones,
her first of fourteen top tens. And again, really looking back,
once you saw Sometimes and once you saw Christina and
all these others come along, you know, I think it
pretty clearly defined the start of that teen pop era.
Speaker 3 (20:58):
And right what I said from the gag, go right,
you have Nirvana as your one, you have Brittany as
your three. Couldn't be more opposite sounds of pop music,
but both were huge hits, right and still are to
this day.
Speaker 2 (21:10):
And kind of book ended the decade.
Speaker 3 (21:12):
And I'll tell you what, being probably in my late
teens when Brittany started coming uh into the into the
pop culture medium. It was great because all of a sudden,
all the girls that I knew and wanted to date,
like started.
Speaker 1 (21:25):
Wanting to be her form her right right, A lot
of Halloween stuff.
Speaker 2 (21:28):
Yeah, right, the video, I mean that would be another
thing for the video. I think sometimes video too. I
mean those were you know, teenage boy staring at the
TV moments I was in. I was a junior in
high school at boarding school, and I just remember sitting.
Speaker 1 (21:43):
Around and you know that you ran home to TRL.
Speaker 2 (21:47):
Yeah, I mean I just remember all the all of
us teenage boys just like sitting in the in the
common area of the of the dorms, just staring, mouths
wide open, watching those videos.
Speaker 3 (21:58):
Yeah, very memorable for sure. Okay, I love it. So
we've got just to recap. I like big Butts, I
can't on Liser, Mixed a Lot, Baby Got Back, Spice,
Girls want to be actually boys. I want it that
way Vanas Mills like teen Spirit, One Sweet Day, Mariah
and Boys to Men and Britney Baby One More Time.
Speaker 2 (22:16):
I was gonna do Brittany, really, but that was the
one I thought we were going to overlap on. I mean,
given the name of the show, but I didn't want
it to be so obby. Yeah.
Speaker 3 (22:25):
People are probably listening to this right now, like, is
this a podcast about Britney?
Speaker 1 (22:28):
Sorry, it's not. It isn't. It's just so old talking
about tom.
Speaker 3 (22:32):
Sure she'll pop up, But I think that's a solid list,
I really do. I Mean, the one debate I would
have with yours is like the Mariah pick, but you
could insert song here with Mariah because all of them
are right.
Speaker 1 (22:45):
At the end of the day.
Speaker 2 (22:46):
That one spent the most weeks at number one at
the time, and it got and it allowed me to
mention Boys to Men and the you know, the R
and B invasion as well. That was that was what
pushed me that way.
Speaker 3 (22:56):
What we're now, I'm curious, we're giving a just give
me a couple your.
Speaker 2 (23:01):
As the bass the signs.
Speaker 1 (23:02):
That's really good. There's a full house episode yeah with that.
Speaker 2 (23:06):
Yeah, Yeah, Oasis Wonderwall. I felt like that, that's one
of the ones that I feel like most stood the
test of time. That's like an iconic song.
Speaker 1 (23:17):
That would that would pass my lyric test yep yep.
Speaker 2 (23:19):
And kind of like Bridge the pop like alt rock
Gap a little bit. I feel like I had to
put Donna Lewis I Love You Always Forever, just because
it's twelve weeks a number one, which was an all
time record until you know it was broken thirteen weeks
a couple of years ago by kid LOOI and uh
Bieber Stay Yeah, but for for most of a good
(23:40):
chunk of our lifetime Gap Yeah, and then Natalie and
buly A.
Speaker 1 (23:43):
Torn I just feel like iconic you.
Speaker 3 (23:46):
You definitely wanted to just say Natalie and Brulia at
some point on a microphone, Yeah, in your life?
Speaker 2 (23:52):
Am I pronouncing it correctly? I don't know. Did we
ever know how to pronounce in Bruglia in the silent.
Speaker 3 (23:57):
Well, let's uh, let's tweeter and find out.
Speaker 2 (24:00):
She's probably got time to respond, I think right now.
And the last one I had was Aaliyah. Are you
that somebody interesting? Yeah?
Speaker 1 (24:08):
Just the hip hop vibe.
Speaker 3 (24:10):
The now we have timbaland beats, we were starting to
we're starting to train, that's becoming more of like mainstream pop.
Speaker 2 (24:15):
Yeah. I feel like that was the forefront of bringing
hip hop back into like that taking more.
Speaker 1 (24:22):
Yeah, I love it. That's a great start, great list,
both of ours.
Speaker 3 (24:26):
I got to ask you though, with Brittany as your
third pick, were you team Brittany Christina?
Speaker 2 (24:31):
Oh? Man, I was team Christina?
Speaker 1 (24:33):
Actually yeah, yeah, well I was.
Speaker 3 (24:35):
There were neck and neck and then the dirty video
came out and I'm like, oh that's her off.
Speaker 1 (24:39):
Yeah, I know where I stand. I mean I was.
I would say, first.
Speaker 2 (24:44):
Off, you know vocal abilities, you have to give it
to Christina, and yeah, I mean some of those. I mean,
I don't know if I could have picked looks wise
as a teenage boy, it was I mean, I was
too shy to talk to real at that age. So
it was awesome staring with THEA.
Speaker 3 (25:06):
On that note, I think we'll wrap up episode one.
