Speaker 1 (00:00):
A lot of times we try to utilize something that
we talked about during the week that actually, somehow I
don't know, pushes us into a specific topic. And earlier
this week I told you that I hate Sweet Caroline.
I think it's a stupid song. I hate it whenever
(00:21):
it comes on. It's slow, it's boring, there's no redeeming
quality to the song already. And then of course we
dug into it thanks to the help of one of
our callers who informed us that Neil Diamond actually wrote
the song and was inspired by six year old Caroline Kennedy.
Listen or read the lyrics to Sweet Caroline and then
tell me if that is an okay thing for a
(00:42):
guy to be writing a song about. He even admitted
to doing that decades later before recanting and changing his
opinion or his mind. So you want to talk about
a liar, there you go. But if there was a
song or a four songs that were incredibly popular that
I think most of society likes that people would like,
(01:03):
you would be okay just never hearing again. You could
just like take four songs ever that you're just done
and listening to. If you don't, if you could if
you hear it one more time fifty years from now,
it's still too soon. What are your four songs? Now?
I'm not gonna really put a whole lot of parameters
on this, except for the fact that try to come
up with songs that most people know, right, songs that
(01:24):
would be popular. I don't have the charts of every
single week of Billboard's history, so I don't want to
like a it's got to be a Billboard hit, but
songs that would be fairly recognizable to most people from
any era. Think about your four the four songs that
were incredibly popular or maybe still are that you could
go the rest of your life and would be fine
(01:45):
never hearing it again. Matt case as usual, I will
let you start the show. What do you got for me?
You and I are both music guys, so I'm sure
our lists are going to be interesting to kind of
dig into. What do you got? Well?
Speaker 2 (01:58):
Number one, I gotta start here and you won't be
surprised where I'm starting, Okay, because we've talked about this.
Speaker 1 (02:03):
Oh, by the way, sweet Caroline off the table. Okay, No,
it's okay for everybody out there that's like, hey, I
want to put Sweet Caroline in there. I appreciate that,
but I think we all can agree we're canceling, sweet Caroline.
Speaker 2 (02:14):
Okay, next, what do you got? Number one has got
to be love Shack be fifty two's. I know you
like it, I know you like it, but I hate it.
Speaker 1 (02:23):
This is not a good start. This is not I'm
worried about this list overall. Quite frankly, Oh boy, that's
not good news for me, right, you know what, You're
entitled to your opinion. I will be firing away. I
love Shack at every party I'm at. I just you
know what, It's one of those songs. If I never
heard it again, I would be totally okay with that.
In fact, I would be pretty happy about that. I
(02:45):
got you, I got you another one on here, and
I'm what I'm sensing is kind of a theme for
myself here fallout Boy, dance, dance what Why? To be honest,
I think I've really kind of come to terms with
this in the last couple minutes I built my list.
I think fallout Boy might actually surpass to be fifty
twos for me. What it's his voice, It's it's the music.
(03:09):
I just you know, a lot of people love it.
Fallout Boy is one of those bands. And I don't
want to get onto this because your opinion. Again, I'm
only gonna yeah, I'm never gonna look at you the
same way, but I mean, it's your opinion. Here's here
it is, dude, straight across the board. This is a
band that changed the way people listen to music. They
were the first true pop punk artists, so there to
(03:29):
break through that glad I mean, and to me, that
pop punk scene was everything to me. So I look
at Fallout Boy the way I think a lot of
people look at something like the Beatles. Okay, they're not
the Beatles. I know they're not the Beatles, but the
Beatles brought rock and roll to a different era right
and into the mainstream, and Fallout Boy did that for
(03:49):
the pop punk phase. I mean, there's a there's a grunge.
Is Nirvana the one that put grunge on the map?
I feel like Pearl Jim could be in that conversation too.
Speaker 2 (03:57):
It's a little bit older guy.
Speaker 1 (03:59):
I see.
Speaker 2 (04:00):
I'm really tread and lightly here because I don't I've
already put together a list that I knew you weren't
gonna like. And I also tend to disagree with the
pop punk opinion there because I think pop punk you
could source back to Green Day, maybe even Mabe even
further back. I feel like my pop punk was Blink
onin eighty two, but that was my age's pop punk.
Speaker 1 (04:19):
Hop. Yeah, I see both Green Day and Blink one
eighty two and like Some forty one and some of
those that just predate Fallout Boy by a few years.
I see them as like more like traditional punk, like
the short songs, the fast tempos and everything. There is
something a little more listenable about the presentation of Fallout Boy,
(04:40):
and it was a little poppier in terms of its structure,
but it was also still punky. There are a lot
of guitars and drums in it. Still. I don't know.
We don't have to keep doing this, but man, that's
a tough one for me.
Speaker 2 (04:50):
Yeah, well, you're gonna like this one even more pop.
The third on the list is fallout Boy Centuries. I
want to say both of those songs were played a
lot for like college fall some year.
Speaker 1 (05:00):
Both of these, Yeah, there's both on your four boys.
Speaker 2 (05:06):
Yeah, I'm sorry, I just you know what. Here's here's
the thing, though, I am the least snobbish about music.
I didn't used to be that way. I used to
be kind of an annoying quite frankly. But I think
it's ridiculous that people act like the music they like
is superior than others. It's just, you know, it's it's art.
If you don't enjoy that artistic expression, go enjoy what
you do. You know, I'm not the target demo for
(05:28):
Fallout Boy for whatever reason. It's just music that doesn't
move me. Just get him out of get him out
of there. You said, yeah, but you know what, there's
yeah again. I guarantee you I could play some stuff
that I really like and you'd probably be like, no,
it's not for me at all. We're all different. Fair
Number four on this list is a song that goes
back for me a long time. It's perfectly placed because
(05:50):
we are at the start of the college football season.
This is a song that I hate for many reasons. Okay,
for one, because when it's being played that means things
are happened. Things that are happening are not things that
I like. And secondly, because it is, for whatever reason,
the most earwormy of all earworm songs that just gets
(06:12):
lodged into my brain and doesn't go away if you
don't like it and you still can't shake it, Yes,
I got you. And number three. The level at which
they play this song is obnoxious. Yeah, and that it's
this fan base so perfectly because it's actually a fight song.
Speaker 1 (06:27):
I feel like this is uh yeah, I think I
know where you're going with this. But but the fact
that like the amount that you hear it absolutely affects
the way that you think of it for sure.
Speaker 2 (06:37):
One thousand percent. Like the song on its own, I
probably wouldn't be bothered by because I actually really like
fight songs. I think it's just like a cool genre
of music. Yeah, go ahead and big band, it's Oklahoma,
Oklahoma's fight song. I think.
Speaker 1 (06:51):
Yeah, that one. For anybody who didn't know what that
sounds like.
Speaker 2 (06:55):
I purposefully didn't look it up because as soon as
I hear it, it's stuck in my head for the
rest of that.
Speaker 1 (07:02):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (07:03):
They if you watch a game of Theirs, they play
that thing when they make two yards. That band never
gets a rest. I pray for that band. I feel
bad for them. They never get a rest. I hope
they have a union. I mean, come on, those guys
never get it.
Speaker 1 (07:18):
We know what they're signing up or come on, they
never give those guys a break, and they play it
for the dumbest reasons. And honestly, obviously, I'm not an
Oklahoma fan growing up as a Husker fan, So there's
just a lot of reasons why it would really grind
my gears to have that song stuck in my head
for the rest of the day, especially if it was
because they just trounced my team and played their fight
(07:41):
song all over the place. If they sucked, this would
not be happen. We would not have this exaggeration.
Speaker 2 (07:45):
Yeah, but there was too many times as a kid
that I had to hear that fight song a whole lot.
Speaker 1 (07:50):
Yeah, yeah, I hear you. Well, that's okay, So recap
the list real quick here.
Speaker 2 (07:54):
So it was B fifty two's love Shack, Fallout Boy,
Dance Dance, Fallout Boy Century, and then the Oklahoma.
Speaker 1 (08:01):
Football fight song I Got You. Okay, I'll get my
four here, and I'm finalizing the fourth one. I might
hurt some people with my list too, so just keep
listening and start thinking about yours. We'll get your thoughts
on the four songs that are popular or were popular
popular in some way that people would recognize that you
could go with the rest of your life without hearing
(08:23):
again you just hate them. We'll think about that next
on news Radio eleven to ten KFAB and were you
songer on news Radio eleven ten Kfab. Number one Only
Time Will Tell by Asia Okay, No, just kidding, I'm
just kidding.
Speaker 2 (08:44):
I could survive not hearing that again. But it was
a nice discovery a couple weeks ago. No, I like
the song a lot.
Speaker 1 (08:49):
It's just you got obsessed with it, and you know,
built a bunch of stuff for the show and kept
listening to it about fifty times.
Speaker 2 (08:55):
Well, well yeah, when you build things with it, you
got to listen to it over and over.
Speaker 1 (08:59):
It's a good song, though, like it. I was just joking.
I was just I was just yoking. Number one Halla
bat Girl by Gwen Stefani b A Na Nas. This
is the thing Gwen Stefani's first solo album, Love Angel
Music Baby, which is what that comes off of. Like
every other song is awesome. I actually like that album
(09:19):
a lot. What you waiting for? Rich Girl, Cool, Luxurious?
Like those are some tunes, man, Like I can bop
to all that. Hullabat Girl is one of the stupidest, dumbest,
most annoying things I've ever heard anybody sing, and it
was the most popular of all of them. I couldn't
tell you why except the banana's part and how stupid
(09:39):
it was. And it was easy for everybody to see
me because how stupid it is kind of like Sweet Caroline,
and you can't get like that. That song pops up
from time to time because everybody wants to sing the
banana's part. So I don't know. How about number two
Mambo number five by lou Bega? Oh yeah, I mean,
how many guy girls did this guy neat? I mean
I'm not. I mean, I'm sure if I had the
(09:59):
tate of a little bit of Monica in my life,
a little bit of Jessica on the side or whatever
the words are, a little bit of Rita's all I need. Look,
I mean, how many girls does he need? It's a
stupid song, but I think the reason everybody likes it
is because it's a little dancy. You know, you can
move to it. But it's a stupid song. How did
that get popular? What were people doing in the late nineties?
(10:21):
Number three Killer Queen by Queen. Queen has so many bangers,
Why does anybody waste their time playing that one? That
song sucks. Many people say it's like quintessential Queen. It's
like all of the best parts of Queen, with the
way they do the vocals, the shreddy guitars from Brian May,
the Freddie Mercury lyrics and all this stuff. It's you know,
(10:41):
rock opera level stuff, and I get it, but it sucks.
I hate it. If you could throw on, you know,
say show must go on, we will rock, you slash,
we are the champions, you throw in Bohemian Rhapsody, which
I still think is an excellent song, an overture of rock.
Speaker 2 (11:00):
Queen sucks, guaranteed to blow your mind.
Speaker 1 (11:03):
But you know, I know, I don't. I don't need
any of that. I had somebody email and say anything
by Queen would make my list. I'm not there. I
think Queen actually has a ton of awesome songs. It's
just that song specifically stinks. I don't. I don't like
listening to it every time it pops up. It's like
(11:26):
a It's like part Disney song in there. I just
why are we giving it so so much so much
attention anyway. So Killer Queen's on there. Here's my number
four And this one might be controversial to people that
are about my age. Welcome to the Black Parade by
my Chemical Romance, that song, I agree. I mean it
became kind of the pied Piper of like that alternative
(11:48):
music phase of like it's not pop punk. It's a
little punky and gothy in the way that it's presented,
but it's really just loud, hard guitar, epic drums all
mixed together with this idea of the Black Parade, right,
it makes it, you know, like there's like an emotional
attachment because like I think it's referencing death, you know,
(12:10):
like referencing like what happens when you go to the
Great Beyond. So there's like that thing that people could
be attached to. My Chemical Romance has like twenty songs
better than that, and I have no idea why that
became their signature hit, no idea. Can somebody help me
with that? You can go back through my chemicalro That album,
The Black Parade album really good. There's a lot of
great stuff on there. The Famous Last Words is one
(12:31):
of my favorite songs of the era. I covered that
in rock bands when I was growing up. You know
what we didn't cover Welcome to the Black Parade. It's cliched,
it's overhyped, it's overplayed, and I dislike it. And if
that's your favorite my Chemical Romance song, you need to
get a hobby. You need to listen to more music.
So my four Hollobat Girl by Gwen Stefani, Mambo number
(12:52):
five by Lou Bega, Killer Queen by Queen, and Welcome
to the Black Parade by My Chemical Romance Matt one
more time You're four.
Speaker 2 (13:01):
It was love Shocked by the B fifty two's fall
Out Boy Centuries fall Out Boy Dance Dance, and number
four was the Oklahoma football team's fight.
Speaker 1 (13:12):
Song, which I guess technically counts and people would recognize
it if they heard it. So if you got thoughts,
call it's four oh two, five, five, eight to eleven ten.
Jeanie's on the line. Jeannie, you got a Friday four
for us today? I do all right? Fire away okay,
that old rock and roll, risky business song, Oh boy, Okay, okay, okay,
I am the Tiger, oh oh hot take. I'm a
(13:34):
big rocky fan that song I love that song, but
fair enough, fair enough, it is overplayed. Bummer, bummer, bummer.
Speaker 2 (13:40):
Okay, the one that guy, the guy that sings I
wear my sunglasses at night.
Speaker 1 (13:44):
That's the worst song ever. What's his name, Cory something? Yeah,
Corey Hart, I think, yeah, yeah, yeah, that guy. Okay,
fair enough okay. And of course Sweet Caroline, Okay, I'm
with you. Well on our twenty percent, we're canceling Sweet
Carol line, one person at a time. Terrible song. Thanks, Genie.
(14:04):
All right, take care you do. If you got four
songs you wish you could never hear again, well now's
the time to get it off your chest. Call us
at four oh two five five eight eleven ten. Four
oh two five five, eight eleven ten. And we're gonna
talk about that with you as well. The songs that
are overplayed, they're popular, and you just wish you never
had to run into them again. You could if you
(14:26):
could erase them from planet Earth right now. These are
the four songs that you would erase. Call us at
four oh two, five five, eight eleven ten. You can
also email Emrie at kfab dot com. No promises I'll
read the emails on the air, but would love to
hear your thoughts one way or the other regardless, and
have some fun on this Friday
A lot of times we try to utilize something that
we talked about during the week that actually, somehow I
don't know, pushes us into a specific topic. And earlier
this week I told you that I hate Sweet Caroline.

Oh, by the way, sweet Caroline off the table. Okay, No,
it's okay for everybody out there that's like, hey, I
want to put Sweet Caroline in there. I appreciate that,
but I think we all can agree we're canceling, sweet Caroline.
Speaker 2 (02:14):
Okay, next, what do you got? Number one has got
to be love Shack be fifty two's. I know you
like it, I know you like it, but I hate it.
Speaker 1 (02:23):
This is not a good start. This is not I'm

Speaker 1 (08:01):
Football fight song I Got You. Okay, I'll get my
four here, and I'm finalizing the fourth one. I might
hurt some people with my list too, so just keep
listening and start thinking about yours. We'll get your thoughts
on the four songs that are popular or were popular

again you just hate them. We'll think about that next
on news Radio eleven to ten KFAB and were you
songer on news Radio eleven ten Kfab. Number one Only
Time Will Tell by Asia Okay, No, just kidding, I'm
just kidding.
Speaker 2 (08:44):
I could survive not hearing that again. But it was
a nice discovery a couple weeks ago. No, I like
the song a lot.
Speaker 1 (08:49):
It's just you got obsessed with it, and you know,

is the thing Gwen Stefani's first solo album, Love Angel
Music Baby, which is what that comes off of. Like
every other song is awesome. I actually like that album
(09:19):
a lot. What you waiting for? Rich Girl, Cool, Luxurious?
Like those are some tunes, man, Like I can bop
to all that. Hullabat Girl is one of the stupidest, dumbest,
most annoying things I've ever heard anybody sing, and it
was the most popular of all of them. I couldn't
tell you why except the banana's part and how stupid
(09:39):
it was. And it was easy for everybody to see
me because how stupid it is kind of like Sweet Caroline,
and you can't get like that. That song pops up
from time to time because everybody wants to sing the
banana's part. So I don't know. How about number two
Mambo number five by lou Bega? Oh yeah, I mean,
how many guy girls did this guy neat? I mean
I'm not. I mean, I'm sure if I had the
(09:59):
tate of a little bit of Monica in my life,
a little bit of Jessica on the side or whatever
the words are, a little bit of Rita's all I need. Look,
I mean, how many girls does he need? It's a
stupid song, but I think the reason everybody likes it
is because it's a little dancy. You know, you can
move to it. But it's a stupid song. How did
that get popular? What were people doing in the late nineties?
(10:21):
Number three Killer Queen by Queen. Queen has so many bangers,
Why does anybody waste their time playing that one? That
song sucks. Many people say it's like quintessential Queen. It's
like all of the best parts of Queen, with the
way they do the vocals, the shreddy guitars from Brian May,
the Freddie Mercury lyrics and all this stuff. It's you know,
(10:41):
rock opera level stuff, and I get it, but it sucks.
I hate it. If you could throw on, you know,
say show must go on, we will rock, you slash,
we are the champions, you throw in Bohemian Rhapsody, which
I still think is an excellent song, an overture of rock.
Speaker 2 (11:00):
Queen sucks, guaranteed to blow your mind.
Speaker 1 (11:03):
But you know, I know, I don't. I don't need
any of that. I had somebody email and say anything
by Queen would make my list. I'm not there. I
think Queen actually has a ton of awesome songs. It's
just that song specifically stinks. I don't. I don't like
listening to it every time it pops up. It's like
(11:26):
a It's like part Disney song in there. I just
why are we giving it so so much so much
attention anyway. So Killer Queen's on there. Here's my number
four And this one might be controversial to people that
are about my age. Welcome to the Black Parade by
my Chemical Romance, that song, I agree. I mean it
became kind of the pied Piper of like that alternative
(11:48):
music phase of like it's not pop punk. It's a
little punky and gothy in the way that it's presented,
but it's really just loud, hard guitar, epic drums all
mixed together with this idea of the Black Parade, right,
it makes it, you know, like there's like an emotional
attachment because like I think it's referencing death, you know,
(12:10):
like referencing like what happens when you go to the
Great Beyond. So there's like that thing that people could
be attached to. My Chemical Romance has like twenty songs
better than that, and I have no idea why that
became their signature hit, no idea. Can somebody help me
with that? You can go back through my chemicalro That album,
The Black Parade album really good. There's a lot of
great stuff on there. The Famous Last Words is one
(12:31):
of my favorite songs of the era. I covered that
in rock bands when I was growing up. You know
what we didn't cover Welcome to the Black Parade. It's cliched,
it's overhyped, it's overplayed, and I dislike it. And if
that's your favorite my Chemical Romance song, you need to
get a hobby. You need to listen to more music.
So my four Hollobat Girl by Gwen Stefani, Mambo number
(12:52):
five by Lou Bega, Killer Queen by Queen, and Welcome
to the Black Parade by My Chemical Romance Matt one
more time You're four.
Speaker 2 (13:01):
It was love Shocked by the B fifty two's fall
Out Boy Centuries fall Out Boy Dance Dance, and number
four was the Oklahoma football team's fight.
Speaker 1 (13:12):
Song, which I guess technically counts and people would recognize
it if they heard it. So if you got thoughts,
call it's four oh two, five, five, eight to eleven ten.
Jeanie's on the line. Jeannie, you got a Friday four
for us today? I do all right? Fire away okay,
that old rock and roll, risky business song, Oh boy, Okay, okay, okay,
I am the Tiger, oh oh hot take. I'm a
(13:34):
big rocky fan that song I love that song, but
fair enough, fair enough, it is overplayed. Bummer, bummer, bummer.
Speaker 2 (13:40):
Okay, the one that guy, the guy that sings I
wear my sunglasses at night.
Speaker 1 (13:44):
That's the worst song ever. What's his name, Cory something? Yeah,
Corey Hart, I think, yeah, yeah, yeah, that guy. Okay,
fair enough okay. And of course Sweet Caroline, Okay, I'm
with you. Well on our twenty percent, we're canceling Sweet
Carol line, one person at a time. Terrible song. Thanks, Genie.
(14:04):
All right, take care you do. If you got four
songs you wish you could never hear again, well now's
the time to get it off your chest. Call us
at four oh two five five eight eleven ten. Four
oh two five five, eight eleven ten. And we're gonna
talk about that with you as well. The songs that
are overplayed, they're popular, and you just wish you never
had to run into them again. You could if you
(14:26):
could erase them from planet Earth right now. These are
the four songs that you would erase. Call us at
four oh two, five five, eight eleven ten. You can
also email Emrie at kfab dot com. No promises I'll
read the emails on the air, but would love to
hear your thoughts one way or the other regardless, and
have some fun on this Friday
