And now Feard Media for since theDave Rigards podcast, the Dave Rids Podcast.
Where why would I like that?It doesn't sense, It doesn't make
sense, but I heard it fromyou. I mean, I don't know
what we were talking about. We'llfigure it out one day. Okay,

(00:23):
what's been our five favorite movies thatwere set in a record store or something
like that? Do you need todo a costume change? Yeah? Thanks?
Okay, Oh you know what,Actually I want to have this shirt
on because it's something that I'm gonnado for my honorable mansion. You have
an honorable mention for the musical performance? No, I don't think so.
Yeah, I got one, two, three, four, five, Yeah,

(00:48):
I'm five. I stick to therules, babe. You know,
the last time that we got together, we were talking about our five favorite
what was it, dancings right Danscenes in movies that weren't a musical,
and we decided that we were goingto couple that up with our five favorite
songs or singing scenes from a movie, because sometimes there's a movie that's not

(01:11):
a musical, but there's a songin it, they break into song something
like that. And I had originallyput risky business with old time rock and
roll in my scene with as amovie scene with a song in it,
and you said, I think thatshould be as a scene with a dance

(01:33):
scene, and you were right.And I had to really think hard about
this our visit this time about songs, because I immediately went to Singing in
the Ring, which I think isone of the all time great musicals.
But we don't want to include musicals, do we. That'd be too easy,
right exactly. And also, ifyou're doing a musical, you're hiring

(01:53):
professional dancers and some choreograph, youknow, somebody that choreographs things on broad
Way, and you know, andthen we would just be doing a list
of musicals, right, And Ihad like, for example, if you
were choosing the best dance from Singingin the Rain, I don't even know
if you've seen it, which onewould you choose? Well, it seems

(02:15):
the quintessential one is the one inthe Rain where he jumps on the the
ledge of the building, and youknow, right, and and you know,
so the legend goes, and I'venever heard anybody dispute it. He
did it while he had the fluand had a fever. I mean,
if you can imagine some of theseguys are so talented and so great,

(02:35):
like Michael Jordan in Game six ofthe NBA Championships and the Fever and the
flu that these guys can do it. But there's a dance scene and singing
in the rain. That's not GeneKelly, it's his co star and he
he does a dance called make HimLaugh. Have you seen this? It's
a slapstick fall down, breaking throughwalls kind of thing. Now. I

(02:58):
saw half of the movie when Iwas like eleven, and it was on
regular TV, so I barely rememberit. Right. This guy ended up
in the hospital for two weeks.Whoa two weeks to recover from the banging
and the slapping and the falling downand everything that he took. But I
had to I had to pull allthose off my list because we decided that
these weren't going to be musicals.Now, to me, a musical is

(03:22):
a movie where the lead characters themselvesbreak out into song and dance. And
you know, I've had some friendswho are like, I don't like musicals
because I'm a man, blah blahblah, And then they'll say, well,
really, well, what are someof your favorite movies? Well,
I like The Blues Brothers. Ohreally, that's a musical. I mean,
how do you not know that's amusical? And you ask him what

(03:43):
are some of their favorite movies fromall you know when you're a kid,
they're like, well, I likeThe Wizard of Oz. That's a musical.
I mean, that's as musically asyou get. It's so funny you
say that because I had that verysame debate a few years ago with somebody
that said they didn't like musicals,and I was trying into the movie once
as a struggling musician. He's abusker and he meets this woman. And

(04:04):
in my review of that, Isaid, this is like a modern day
musical because it's not like where youbreak out into song and people are dancing
in the background. But if you'rehaving songs all the time and you're playing
the full length song, if it'sa guy with an acoustic guitar, I
mean, it's it's for lack ofa better it's a musical. Yeah,
And that is one of the thingsthat blew me away about Chicago. I

(04:25):
assume you saw Richard gear and goahead, I love that. Yeah.
Yeah, And when's the last timeyou're like, Wow, a modern day
musical. I thought like the lastmusicals came out like in the forties or
the fifties, but or like maybeWest Side Story was the last musical we'll
ever see, but Chicago was greatand then La La Land and a few
others have come out. But it'shey, speaking of the dead genre.

(04:48):
Yeah, speaking of Chicago, Ithink last time you had a cigar from
Chicago that you got. What cigarare you smoking this time? Well,
I'm glad you brought that up,because the name this podcast, after all,
is two Asholes at the Movies,because Josh Bord and I love movies,
and so you give us a categoryand we'll choose our five favorite movies

(05:10):
from that category. And I havea holdover from the holidays for you.
This is a cigar from missus Cthat my wife gave me. And that
is solid chocolate right there, baby, And missus C makes good chocolate,
So that is going to be theone I'll enjoy today. Yeah, my
my Ashton cigar has a lot lesscalories, but probably worse for the lungs.

(05:32):
Yeah. Absolutely, So this timearound, we have decided to go
with our five favorite singing or songsfrom movies that were not musicals, and
I think we've defined pretty clearly whatwe think is a musical. Yep,
once you go first. This time, I always go first. I want
you to go first. This onething I'm gonna say before I start doing

(05:54):
my list is I want to givea special shout out to Meryl Streep,
who's been in two of the worstones. She was in a musical movie
called Ricky in the Flash. That'sone of the worst movies I've ever seen,
where she's in a band. Didyou see that movie? No,
it's a disaster. And also shedid a movie called Florence Foster Jenkins is
an opera singer that's a bad singer. And it was just both those movies

(06:17):
I thought were disasters. Now,isn't that Hugh Grant or who LORI?
No you Grant? Yeah? Ithink he plays her husband he cheats on
her or something weird. I barelyremembered. It was just so bad and
it's a real life story about thiswoman that was an opera singer that was
bad. Yeah, which it's kindof know if that has no clothes kind

(06:39):
of a thing. Everyone she's good. I kind of liked that movie.
I thought it was kind of good. Oh you saw it? Yeah,
oh yeah, yeah yeah. Andthat piano player from The Big Bang Theory
always making those weird looks like yeah, is she really singing again? It's
like that got old so quick.Yeah. So the first one I'm gonna
go with is the band Otis Dayand the Nights. Are you familiar with

(06:59):
Otis Day? It's a little bitsofter now, yes, one of the
all time wedding songs. Yes,I know, to Day in the Nights?
Yeah. Animal House and they didthat romantic ballad shame Lama ding Dong.
The movie is a tree. Thewhole Animal House movie is a treat.
But when those guys roll into thatall black bar, they're the only
white people in there. Oh thismy man, and notice it is just
like I don't know that honky there. It's it's so great. Do you

(07:25):
mind if we dance with yo dates? So that's one of my picks.
Great one, And then I'm goingto pick the alien band in the movie
Star Wars that plays that canteena.When Star Wars came out, I was
in fourth grade, so when Isaw it, blew my mind. I
would draw the pictures of the exfighters, just like every other kid.

(07:46):
Yeah, and what was interesting aboutseeing that band. I was here in
instruments I had never heard before.I'm like, it's not guitar, bass,
keyboards and drums. I mean like, and before we did this podcast,
I don't usually google things, butI googled because I want to see
what those instruments were, Dave,I don't even know what these instruments are.
The list of what they were,there must be some African horn instruments

(08:09):
that I've just never seen written before. So it's cool that they were smarter.
Okay, if we're having aliens doa song, it shouldn't sound like
a song. People here on theradio scene, it was just another great
scene. That whole scene in thatcanteen is fantastic where Hans Solo has the
face off with the bounty hunter.The whole thing is great. Yeah,

(08:31):
it's so crazy that that movie holdsup, like because you know, with
special effects and stories, you'd thinka movie from the seventies wouldn't hold up.
They were miles ahead. They reallywere. Another one of my picks
was a tough one for me becauseI think Step Brothers with Will Ferrell and
John c Riley is one of thefunniest comedies. And my wife she is
coming around to liking it because I'vewatched it now about twenty times, but

(08:52):
she hated it. It was likea three stoo just kind of it's just
stupid. Yes, exactly, thatmovie. That movie is so underrated.
It's great, it's incredible. Yeah. I was originally gonna go with their
wraps on Boats and Hose because itwas such a funny rap. But I
think I'm gonna instead go with AdamScott doing making his family sing the Sweet

(09:13):
Child of Mine in the car becauseit introduces us to this character that's this
overbearing dick. Yeah, and soanybody that's going to scold their kids for
how they sing in the car,all right, Yeah he's Oh he plays
such a good dick too, andyou know what, he is one in
real life. I interviewed him andit was a disaster. He was not
a nice person. What does hethink he's like some kind of a lister
or something, because he's not.He's not an a lister. Yeah,

(09:35):
I know, and it was weird. I even wore a U two shirt
to the interview because he does apodcast about you two. Because he's obsessed
with you two. And he doesn'teven go, hey, cool shirt man
just doesn't acknowledge the shirt. Howmany episodes about you two? Can you
listen to? Two? I mean, maybe we covered Joshua Tree last week.

(09:56):
This week we're gonna cover Boy theAl Boy. Even you two is
bored with this podcast. Come on, Bob, pick something else to talk
about. I should I should havesaid that to him. Was he the
worst interview you ever did? No, he wasn't. He just wasn't very
friendly. Yeah, you know,and and you know this, you want
to give long answers, not justone word. So he did a lot

(10:20):
of one word answers, and hekind of had a little bit of an
attitude and and and I think afterthe second question, he goes, hey,
do you mind, I'm gonna goget some water. So I'm into
this conference room and he went togo get a bottled water. Like to
me, it's like, are youthat parched that you can't finish? I
was told I get fifteen minutes withhim, he can't finish. Yeah,
he obviously thought he was the starof the movie. And he's not the

(10:41):
first, second, third, fourth, maybe the fifth star down on that
movie. So Oh, well,he wasn't. I wasn't interviewing him about
that movie. It was something else, some other project. He'd whatever movie
he's in. He's not the starexactly, he's just act. So my
other pick is one of my picksis to be Office Space. Yeah.
And just like with Step Brothers,I couldn't decide between when they're playing the

(11:05):
rap song and they're smashing the copymachine that kept jamming. But I think
I like the more opening scene wherethe white guy whose name is Michael Bolton,
he's blasting a rap song and he'ssitting along to it, but when
a black guy walks by the car, he turns it down and doesn't sing
because even to forbid you'd be awhite person singing a rap song for all
appropriation or something, you never knowwhat kind of words are gonna come out

(11:28):
in that rap right, Well,there's that too, So I just I
just love that scene and it's funnybecause I don't know if that's the first
movie that did this. I've seenso many movies that think it's funny to
have somebody rocking out in their carto like Barry Manilow or Haul of Oates,
and it's like such an overplayed scene. We're supposed to go, oh,
this mobster is listening to you know, Seals and Crofts before he's gonna

(11:54):
kill eight people. This is funny, and he's singing along. He knows
the words, like that's a funnyscene the first time we see in the
movie. No, god, thereit's been over Tommy boy did it where
they're singing along and crying to thecarpenters. I mean it's it's overused.
Probably, yeah, yeah, yeah, all right, very good. All
right. My last pick is andthese aren't in order of my favorite,
by the way, And what arewe up to here on your top five?

(12:16):
Are we have to think this ismy fifth one? Something like that?
This is this is what your fifthone? Yeah? Yeah, I
do. I do do a lotof insertions so I get extra picks.
Yeah yeah, yeah, I noticedI do that in our thing because you
stick to this rule of five.And I go, well, you know,
I'm gonna bring up to this othermovie and talk for ten minutes about
it, got five with three extras. So what's your last one? So

(12:37):
did you ever see Black Snake Moanwith Christina Ricci and Samuel Jackson. No,
I know the name. I neversaw that movie. The movie opens
with Samuel Jackson's wife leaving him foranother man, for her brother. His
brother, Oh my goodness, heused to be a blues singer and he's
a gardener. And Christina Ricci's gota drug problem and she's the talent slut.

(13:01):
So he decides, I'm gonna kidnapher and get her off drugs.
So he kidnaps her and chains herto a something in his house, an
air conditioning unit. So she getsoff drugs. And she's married to Justin
Timberlake, who's off in war.He's at mood camp or something, and
so they of course bond, andshe gets off drugs and she gets her
life back together, although I stillthink you'd be charged with something for kidnapping

(13:24):
somebody. But at some point they'regonna go to this blues club and he
pulls out this guitar and he playsthe song Black Snake and Bone, which
is I'm sure you know Dave BlindLemon Jefferson, an old blues guy.
So he does that song, andyou're going, whoa Samuel Jackson could sing?
I mean, I guess if you'redoing a blue song, you don't

(13:45):
really have to sing. You canjust go like, ah, baby,
it don left me. Yeah,you know, but it was really powerful.
He's playing I mean, it probablyisn't him playing slide guitar, and
I just thought, what a greatmoment. She's watching him mesmerized. What
she doesn't realize is justin Timberlake hasgotten back early because he got kicked out
of the at a boot camp andhe sees this and thinks they're having an
affair. So of course guns aregonna be drawn. And who do you

(14:07):
think is going to win that whenSamuel Jackson has a gun drawing on it?
I got Samuel Jackson for ten bucks. Yes, except in Coming to
America where they used the mop todisarm Samuel Jackson. And does that count
as me? Is certain another moviein there? Absolutely? All right,
that's a good list, is thatit? Are you done? Now?

(14:28):
No? I got to do anhonorable mention? Oh? Okay, go
ahead, And you know you probablyonly have five because you're good about sticking
to the rules, But I mayI may only have four. Actually,
I was thinking about Spinal Tap,one of the funniest movies of all time.
Yeah, and I was also thinkingabout The Blues Brothers But the problem
is both of those are music intensivemovies that doesn't really fit the theme of

(14:50):
this, which is like one goodsong in a movie that's a great song.
These are almost like musicals. Likeyou said about Blues Brothers, I'm
gonna stick with a movie that youlike. To give me crap about High
Fidelity with Jack Black and John Cusack. It's not him dancing to Katrina and
the Waves, but it's him beggingJohn Cusack to let him sing at the
opening of his record label. Andhe's always in these crazy punk bands.

(15:15):
He's like, no, we're gonnahave industry people there, We're gonna have
normal families. We can't have youdo in some obscure punk song, he's
like, what's your band? Andhis band is called Kathleen Turner Overdrive.
Great name for a band, KathleenTurner Overdrive. And he does Marvin Gays,
Let's get it on. And it'sfunny because at the time we don't
even know Jack Black wasn't famous whenHigh Fidelity came out. But it's just

(15:37):
funny to see this character actually havea great singing voice when the whole movie
he's this scruffy punk rock guy.I love those. I love that.
Yeah, so I just I justlove that for musical moment. Nothing from
Spinal Tap hunh No, But youknow what, how great is the song
big Bottom? I mean they weresinging about big butts a decade before Sir

(15:58):
mix a Lot did his back,but not a decade before Queen. Let's
not forget Queen saying about oh mygod, that's true. They wow.
I wonder if Spinal Tap, Yeah, I bet that. You know what,
I'll bet you anything that was influencedby that, How could it not
be? All right, very good? All right? I think that was
about nine But that's okay, giveor take four. Yeah, because my

(16:21):
my first one, Mike get buzzedout, it might get disqualified, all
right, cool, because my firstof my five favorite songs that is not
in a musical is from School ofRock. But I wonder if you think
School of Rock is a musical,Jack Black, I don't. According to
you, you're actually being stricter onthe rules about this than me. I

(16:41):
don't think School of Rock would applyunder our definition of more modern musicals because
he's teaching kids to play. They'redoing parts of songs. It's not like
they're doing lots of songs in theirentirety in the movie. Yeah, they
don't work. I don't think theyactually sing an entire song in the whole
movie until the end when they singTeacher's Pet at the competent the band Competition,

(17:07):
which is a fantastic song. Iused to play it from time to
time on KGB on the radio becauseit's just such a great song. Let
me ask you something about School ofRock. All my friends love that movie,
and I thought it was okay.But part of my problem with the
movie was it took a long timefor you to like Jack Black's character,
Like he doesn't really seem to careabout the kids until really late in the

(17:29):
movie. And Snoop Dogg the Rapperhas a new movie coming out called The
Underdogs, and it's the same thing. Like he's forced by a judge to
do community service, so he coachesthis inner city football team and he curses
all the time. He doesn't careabout the kids. It's kind of like
a Walter Mathow and Bad News Bearstype of thing, but more modern.
And that's my problem with School ofRock. I wish you would have been

(17:51):
nicer to the kids early on,Like it's so touching when he tells the
girl that's I don't know if she'sa little bit heavy or something, but
he says, hey, Aretha Franklin'sbig, you know, And that was
such a sweet moment. I wantedmore of those peppered throughout the movie than
there were. It might have beenon purpose, Josh, it might have
been one of those character development things. And there's plenty of great movies in
the world where you start by watchingMatt Damon at the beginning of this movie

(18:15):
and you're like, that guy isjust a dick, and then they have
this breakthrough moment with Robin Williams andyou see these two guys are actually,
you know, they're decent people.They're human people with emotions and stuff like
that, and you root for himat the end. So it's possible that
that's what was going on. Don'tforget. At the beginning of that movie
School of Rock, Jack Black isan imposter, you know, he goes

(18:37):
in to be a substitute teacher,which he is not, isn't He's just
some dopey garage band guy. Soyou were just making a reference to Goodwill
hunting right there, right, Yes, that has one of my least favorite,
Like I love the song baker Streetnow, Gary Rafferty love it,
but it didn't fit Jerry Jerry reference. I never knew if it was Jerry

(18:57):
or Gary. It's Jerry, butit's spelled with the G. Yes it
is. Who spells Jerry with theG? I guess Jerry Cooney does.
But anyway, they play that song, spells it with a G. Jerry
Lewis doesn't. No, I'm saying, Jerry Rafford. You said who spells
it with the G? Jerry Raffertydoes, but I didn't hear you.
But they play that song during afight scene and it doesn't fit like you're

(19:21):
fighting? Why are you playing BakerStreet? It makes no sense to me.
I don't know. I don't havean answer to you that one.
Sorry. Next up on my listmy five favorite songs. Thank you for
letting me have School of Rock.It's gonna be uh Ferris Bueller, the
Twisting's shout seeing the parade in downtownChicago and Ferris Bueller, Wait, you
like that better than in singing WayneNewton? What do you mean? He

(19:45):
sings Don Kashane right before I thinkhe does. No. I definitely like
the Twist and Shouts scene much betterbecause I'm much more of a Beatles fan
than I am of a Wayne Newtonfan. Yeah, I am to you,
I believe it or not. That'sthat's you know what's funny. You
remember the band Yellow that did thatsong in Ferris Bueller that Oh yeah,
oh yeah, oh yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah yeah. After Ferris

(20:08):
Bueller did that, you saw thatmovie. That song cropping up in so
many movies. Oh yes, yes, it's a great song for what which
is a rip off? It's like, look, man, that's the Ferris
Bueller song. Quit trying to makeit cool in your movie. Exactly.
They own that song. That's theirs. That's there. Yeah, whether or

(20:29):
not it's legend or not. Yousee some cutaway shots during the twist and
shout, so I'm told like thethe window cleaners that are up on the
scaffolding and a couple of construction guys, because they shot that scene in downtown
Chicago and the Loop and people justkind of started digging it and started dancing,
and so they were not extras.They were just people who were getting
in to the scene that was happening, and so the cameras turned and shot

(20:53):
them and soaked up the whole atmosphere. Number three for me, favorite song
in a movie that's not and nota musical is going to be I think
he played aqua lung? Is thatwhat Will Ferrell played as Ron Burgundy when
he pulled his flute out from hissleeve in the restaurant Jazz Flute with Ron.

(21:17):
I don't think it was aqua ung, but I think in the middle
of it, he stops and justsays Jethro tol and then puts the flute
back in, you know, justto let you know that, Hey,
I'm making a reference to another guythat plays a flute. It was another
surprise scene for me because when hefirst starts playing the flute, it's terrible
and I thought, oh god,he's just going to murder this. And
then all of a sudden he getsyou know, he's just a concert floutist

(21:38):
and he dances all through the wholerestaurant in this. And only Will Ferrell
could say, Hey, I'm goingto be a musician. I'm going to
play the flute. Only Will Ferrellcould come up with a flute as the
cool instrument that he's going to play. Yeah, that was that was great.
That was fun. Number four onmy list is going to be Back

(22:00):
to the Future Michael J. Foxperforming Johnny B. Good on stage in
front of all the high school kids, and he's having a good time and
he's playing with the band and hegets carried away and he goes into Van
Halen, which is not gonna happenfor three decades, and he's just tearing
up his guitar and the kids arekind of like, what is that noise

(22:22):
you were playing? And he's like, oh, sorry, but your kids
are gonna love that. But youknow, you told me I wanted to
know what your songs were gonna beso we wouldn't have an overlap, So
I asked you to email me yoursongs. And when you said you were
gonna put this on here, yousaid something about Huey Lewis being the judge
or something. I had no cluethat that was Huey Lewis and that's team

(22:45):
And I brought that up to afew of my friends and they're like,
yeah, yeah, it was SheueyLewis. He said it was. It's
at the very beginning of the movie. There's a there's a talent show at
the high school that Michael J.Fox goes to so he and his band
are going to play this song,and you've got these three or four very
square looking teachers sitting at a foldingpicnic table, you know, judging whether

(23:06):
or not these kids are going tobe allowed to be in the performance.
And so Michael J. Fox getsgoing with his band and they launch into
this instrumental version of the Power ofLove, which is the signature song by
Huey Lewis and the News from thesoundtrack of Back to the Future. And
Michael J. Fox is wailing onhis guitar, this instrumental version of the

(23:26):
Power of Love, and they're liketwenty twenty five seconds into it, and
one of the judges just stops withhis marsh strap strap cap cap cap and
they stop playing, and the judgegoes, I'm sorry, fellows, you're
just you're just too barn road.And that's Huey Lewis. Huey Lewis is
crapping on his own song. God, that's so funny, so too great.

(23:49):
Huey Lewis Stories. I read thebook. I don't know how to
pronounce her name. Pamela de Bars. She was that group bee that slept
with two thousand different musicians. Shesays she's always asked which one had the
biggest dick, and she said itwas Don Johnson and Huey Lewis. It
was a tie, right, AndI'm thinking that must be really cool for
Huey Lewis, you know he playsthose type of songs. Yet he's like,

(24:11):
yeah, she slept with two thousandmen, and I was, you
know, one of the biggest.But Seth Rogan was on David Letterman once
and he did this movie called PineappleExpress, and he told the studio I
have to get Huey Lewis to dothe theme song. He did the Back
to the Future theme song. He'sdone a couple of other theme songs.
They wanted him for Ghostbusters, hedidn't do it. I want him for

(24:33):
this. So he has a meetingat a restaurant with Huey Lewis and he's
telling Huie, I'm not going totell you how to write the song.
You're a professional, but I willtell you this. You have to say
the name of the movie and thesong Pineapple Express. And hue gets this
look on his face. He's like, but Pineapple Express, that's such an
obscure thing. To say, andhe goes, you know when I did
back to the Future. The songdoesn't have back to the future. It's

(24:56):
we're gonna go back in time.Why do I have to say have to
That's all I'm asking. If youturn in anything else, I'm gonna be
it's gotta have that. So hesays at that moment here we lose,
grabs a napkin, takes a penand he writes, I don't know what
happened that got us in this messthe Pineapple Express, and Seth Rogan goes,
that is perfect. That's the chorusright there. I love it all

(25:18):
right. Well, we're up tonumber five here, Josh, and we're
talking about our songs, our favoritesongs from movies that were not musicals.
I chose Casablanca and no doubt youknow what song I chose, Yeah,
Yeah, go ahead As Time goesOn or whatever the piano As Time goes

(25:40):
on? The great legendary song.It's not as Time goes by? Is
it? You must remember this Akiss is still a kiss. Aside with
song titles, it's tough, man. I'm one of those kids that would
call the radio station and say,can you play that who song? Teenage
wasteland, and they'd say it's babaoh different, that's different that teenage wasteland.

(26:03):
I mean, come on, that'swhat the name of the song is.
Bob O'Reilly has never said in thesong. But anyways, As Time
Goes By is probably one of themost legendary romantic songs of all time.
And I didn't choose it, whatoh, I didn't choose it. I
chose La Marcelets, which is thenational anthem of France. There is a

(26:26):
scene in Casablanca, and you know, most of the movie is is in
Rick's cafe. I should ask,have you ever seen Casablanca? Are you
joking? We've talked about how muchwe love joking. I don't know,
because you pick weird movies I've neverseen before, and I picked classics that
you've never seen. This is oneof my all time favorite movies. Okay,

(26:47):
just making sure. Well, thenyou probably know this scene. The
Nazis have moved into this city,casablancas in North Africa. The Nazis are
moving into take over this this thislittle town, and the French have been
fighting it and the Nazis have arein this pub and they've they're all a
couple of Heinekens in I know it'sa Dutch beer. Shut up, put

(27:07):
your pencils down. They're all acouple of beers into their their day and
they start singing some Nazi anthem.I don't know if it was the German
national anthem at the time or whatever. The leader of the resistance gets up,
he goes to the band and hesays, play La marceille and you
see the leader of the band lookover to Humphrey Bogart, to Rick and

(27:29):
Rixlake do it. And they startplaying l marsilla which is probably, I
believe one of the top three greatnational anthems of countries in the world,
with the United States being first,Canada second, and La Marceillaie and say,
Dave, Dave, say that savethat for our podcast on the top
five national Anthems. You got it? And uh so they start playing La

(27:52):
Marsillai. So now you've got twogroups of people singing competing national anthems,
and the French round out the Nazis. The Nazis like, all right,
sit down, they're gonna they're gonnaout sing us. There is a scene
where Ingrid Bergman looks at her husbandas he's conducting this little bar band to
play La Marcelat and the devotion andthe love that she has in her eyes

(28:15):
as he is stepping right up andspitting in the Nazis' eyes while this great
anthem is playing and the French arefighting for their freedom against these Nazis.
I think it's such a fantastic scenein one of the all time greatest movies
of all time. Dave, I'mgonna have to put on my program director
hat here and tell you you wentwith the deep cut there. Hey,

(28:37):
we don't want the B sides,we want the hits. And the hit
wasn't that we want? Guy,the piano goes on, time goes on?
Is that the name of it?If you could backsell the songs so
people get the titles right next timethey call for it, make sure the
callers are the last thing out ofyour mouth, because the audience can only
think about one thing at a time. Now, I'll start playing Queen.

(29:00):
Literally. They are those are ourchoices, Those are our five favorite songs
from movies that are not musicals.And the important thing to remember is if
you disagree with us, you're wrong. You're wrong. You're wrong, you're
wrong. I mean, after all, are you the movie critic on AM
six hundred kog o? Have youbeen on the front page of the Reader?
Have you been on Fox TV?He has Josh Bord. He's the

(29:23):
coolest thing ever happened, man.And I also got an award for being
the world's greatest dad for my daughter, So I mean, there's buildings of
dad and I got the award.He was snubbed last year. Last year
he didn't get that award, butthis year I've been snubbed for a few
years now. But that's another story. It's kind of like an achievement award
at the end of the show wherethey give the old guy an award,

(29:45):
you know how that is. Anyway, thank you for enjoying our podcast here
