Oh well, I'm sorry, I got aheadof myself.
I drank a little too muchdouble turbo iced coffee before

(01:53):
the show.
Let me start that again.
Thank you, amanda, for thatwonderful introduction.
I would be remiss if I didn'tsay that, because young Amanda
puts a lot of work into those,into that intro.
So I do not want to disqualifythat.
Is that a woke thing?
I disqualified you.
I don't want to get into that.

(02:14):
Mark smith is coming on, so Idon't want to start that.
It's too early, it's not, it'snot even a thing.
Forget, I even said that itdoesn't exist, yeah, anyway.
So good show tonight.
Let me see I'm just running downmy list here the new intro song

(02:35):
I think it's pretty fuckingcool and if you've never
listened to them, right, it's abrother, two sisters, the father
and the mother, and they'rethis band and they're called
Kitty, daisy and Lewis, and gocheck them out.
I mean, that song is just, it'sjust tight.

(02:59):
It's just tight, let me.
Let me get this connected.
I want to.
I said I want to play thatwithout intro because it's just
such a cool song and they havesuch a cool sound, so let's give
them a little shout-out.
Here we go, let's get thisgoing.
Let's see.

(03:21):
I'm used to getting thecopyrights now.
Yeah right, love this shit.
They all play their instruments, they all play every instrument
, but the intro was this song.
Love this song.

(03:42):
You got that old schoolrockabilly sound and they dress
like it.
The mom playing the stand-upbass, dad playing the piano in
the background and they jumparound.
Everyone plays the guitar, thedrums, the harmonica.

(04:12):
It's a great, great little band.
Check them out Kitty, daisy andLewis.
Again, I'm going to get acopyright hit for this, but I
don't care at this point.
Two weeks ago I had 21, 22copyrights in one episode and
I'm still here.
God damn it.
So while this is playing, let'sbring on the one and only Mark.

(04:35):

This is good, right, this isreally good.

While we're in the groove let's bring on the one,
the only, the man that made thisall possible, the one that
brought the Wrecking 2 into theMilk Crates and Turntables
universe, the germinator.
He's quiet, he's a kingmaker.
The one, the only, perryDenevich.

(05:11):
Hello, hello, what's up, buddy?
This opening music kicks ass.
Right, it kicks ass, yeah, yeah.

(05:23):
People should go listen to them.
Nobody will hear what we saybecause you'll get a copyright
claim.

That's okay.
No, you know what they do now.
Let me turn this off, just incase.
Yeah, you know what they do nowis they'll say they'll monetize
it, like whoever owns the songwill monetize the video.
It's not a strike against mychannel, it's like I can't make
money off it.

(05:44):
Well.

You're not.

(05:45):
Well, you just made hot sauce.
I've never been in it for themoney.

Correct, and if you monetize, then you won't be
able to play any of that music.
Yeah, oh wait, let's get thisgoing.
Here we go.
Here's the chat.
Well, the chat thing here it is.
Patty says what's up guys, heyPatty, hello, yeah, he's awesome
.
My main man, marky, nice Goodto see my man, Scott James

There you go, buddy.
He came in on a good show.
Say the band's name again.
The band is Kitty, Daisy andLewis.
Go check them out on YouTubeand get a feel for how they
dress.
And the name of the song is SayYou'll Be Mine.
Where are they from?
Do you know?
I'm not sure, Mark.

(06:31):
Keep talking, I'll find out.

Yeah, Kitty, Daisy and Lewis.

(07:06):
Here you go.
Kitty, daisy and Lewis are aBritish band.
British, yes.

Wow.

(07:10):
Yeah, they formed in 2000.

Cool, yep, they've been around for a while.
They've sold over a quartermillion albums, and that's
respectable for a band thatdidn't get a big push.
Well, gold was half a million,so they are on their way,
hopefully.
Yeah, you know they're just areally cool, interesting band
that I stumbled into when, youknow, I think all the three of

(07:35):
us are we're rabbit holers whenit comes to music, like hearing
music when I used to work, whenthe government was paying me
handsomely, uh, toward the endof my career, like the last year
or two of my career I was I wasin international trade, which
was, like you know, going fromcanine to international trade is

(07:59):
like going to be from a plumberto a lawyer.
You know, like it's all this isa lot.
It's very kind of technical anduh, sometimes I would act like
I was working and I would uh belistening to amazon music, and
amazon music is pretty good atlike connecting you with songs,
just like this one, and I wouldgo down all these rabbit holes

(08:21):
and it.
It was like I found a shitloadof good music.
Well, because you've liked that, perhaps you'll like this.
Let's hear it.
No, no, that's what Amazon does.

(08:31):
Oh, that's what they do.
Yeah, yeah, and you'll likethis too, yeah.

And it was usually good.
Okay, so look at Patty.
Oh, that's very nice of you.

(08:40):
Patty.
Patty is our super fan.
I used to be in a band with Loufor years and we've written
lots of songs together.

this or that as pertaining tolike, rock and roll, like, or so
, should we do it with one hitwonders, like and see if it

(10:41):

(10:44):
That's not bad, you know.

So let's see 20 this or that, one hit wonders.
Let's see what it does.

(10:59):
Yeah, Perry, he laid off his writing staff, so he depends on
AI.

Oh, this is interesting, is interesting.
Oh boy, this is actually pretty.
It's getting better the more itknows me, and that isn't that,
ai right it trains to what youwant it to do.
It's your friend.

Remember how horrible they werewhen I first started doing this
, yeah, yeah.
Oh, this is good because thistouches on pretty much
everything that we're going totalk about Nice.

(11:30):
And then should we do thatafter?
Should we do it before or afterwe talk about One Hit Wonder,
it doesn't matter right, wecould do 45 poker.
And then, yeah, we're going todo 45 poker.
Then you want to do the.
You make the call and then talkabout because I, you want to do
the, the, uh, you make the calland then talk about, because

there, right, which means youhave to own a business to be
able to go in there, sincewithin the last year, they
they've started coming down.
If you don't, if you don't useyour card within like eight
months, they you have to sign upall over again, type thing,

apartment buildings, for fuckingoffice buildings, like the
public restroom, shit that has aroll of about 200 yards on one
roll, right, shit, and I bought.
I bought a case of that stuff,right, and you can't put it on
your fucking toilet paperdispenser.

(29:32):
That's not happening.
So you got this fucking roll.
But you know you, you get whatyou get and it's it's, and you
need a special key to open it up.
Yeah, I should have got one ofthose just because, because, you
can buy those at.
Restaurant Depot.
I can drill it to the wall.

(29:53):
I was a healthcare worker.
I'm quite familiar with allthat stuff.
The thing is, the stuff is notit's low grade, it's newspaper,
it's not the most comfortablefucking toilet, but you know

I was giving that shit away.

So.
So my wife worked at target, soshe luckily she came home with
a mega 24 pack.
Put it on the floor.
Yeah, I fucked up.
I'm not gonna go into detailswhat I did, but I caused a lot
of water to leak out on thefloor so I ruined half the pack,
oh jesus.
But she came home next day withanother 24 pack.

so it was okay.
Dr vera, does the amazon thing?
Like it gets delivered, like Iget fucking paper towels, a case

You never use it all and itstarts to build up.

Well, I mean, look I, I have a whole closet full
of good quality toilet paper.

(31:04):

Boca.
You're not going to let me in.

Well, you know you asked us.

I'll be watched the whole time.
I'm there.
It's like being on a list withcustoms.
Every time you come into thecountry, every time you travel,
you're going to get put intosecondary.
Your name is on the list andpeople are like why is my name
on the list?
I'm like I can't tell you thatwe had these forms that we were

(31:56):
given.
We'd say contact this office inDC and they'll tell you
everything, but you can't revealwhy you're on that list, do you
?

(32:06):
remember the Do Not Fly list after 9-11?
Yeah, feel sorry for me.
Look at my name.
I would get delayed.
I'd just go four hours earlyBecause it's a fake name.

That's an AKA also known as Mark Smith.

(32:20):
Yeah, I'd be showing my social security and everything.

Let's get into.
You Make the Call.
We'll start with Perry.
One hit wonder version of youMake the Call.
So, Perry, the AI Dinovich, youMake the Call.
Tainted Love or Take On Me byA-Ha.
That answers this question.

(32:44):
I'm going to go with A-Ha.
A-ha.
That answers his question.
No, I'm going to go with A-Habecause it's an original song
right Tainted Love is not acover right, there's no wrong
answers here there's no wronganswers, take On, I like that
song.
Right, I'm going to take on meby A-Ha.

(32:59):
I think they're Norwegian or something.

Yeah, yeah, I have to go with Tainted Love because
, although it's a remake, theversion is.
I was never so.
This is me in Take On Me.
I didn't really like the songwhen it came out.
I thought it was.
It just wasn't my thing.
And the video got all thisattention which makes me go the
other way, right.

(33:21):
But I never appreciated thesong until I heard the acoustic
version.
And you understand the lyricsbecause go, go watch it on
youtube if you, if you'relistening, if you're watching
take on me the acoustic version.
He does it live.
I think there's even like anorchestra with him.

(33:42):
But but you get to really hearthe lyrics.
I never went and like checkedthe lyrics.
Yeah, I had a newfound respectfor that song and they do it
fucking really good in thatstyle, that kind of acoustic
style.
So, newfound respect for TakeOn Me, but I have to go with

(34:03):
Tainted Love.

(34:04):
Tainted Love as does.

Pattyty, I can see .

(34:06):
Yeah, mark I'm gonna say that acoustic thing, it's true,
because for me it was boys ofsummer when I heard don henley
sing it solo with acoustic.
Yeah, it was just sad lyrics,right, it's sad, and you don't
notice when the song's whizzingby.
It's like a pop song, you know,yeah.
So, um, I'm gonna go love themboth.
Uh, I'm gonna go with taintedlove only because it sounds
better loud in the car, right,it's you know they're both great

(34:29):
songs.

And there's one thing that that you didn't
mention, mark, that maybe loumight have.
I know jack would have saidsomething tainted love because
it's synthesizer.
Well, I know you're a fan ofsynth pop.
You're a fan of 80s synth pop.
I am huge fan.
Yeah, and it was always a bonuswhen you got the baby, baby,

(34:52):
baby.
No, you, sometimes you didn'tget it on the radio.
Yeah, you know you're alwayswaiting, like is it gonna say it
?
And then nah, nah, yeah, uh,okay, uh, perry, you make the
call now.
These are one-hit wonders.
Don't, don't judge the, thesong itself, it's just these are
one-hit wonders.
You might not like them, butyou know you have a choice.

(35:14):
Uh, abstaining is not a choicein this game.
Right, you have to pick one.
It's what is the better?
Two evil sometimes it's twoevils sometimes.
This might be the what is thebetter of two evils version of
you Make the Call Perry.
You Make the Call Ice ice baby,or you can't touch this.

(35:38):
This is otherwise known as thebattle of the baggy pants.
Can I just stop Mc my claim fora moment?
What was the other one?
What was the other one afterice ice baby?
You can't touch this mc hammeroh boy yeah um, what's the
better of two?
I'll take ice, ice, baby, okayand again there's no wrong

(36:03):
there's no wrong answer.
All it is is you get outvotedLike we outvoted you last.

(36:10):
I saw yeah.

And every once in a while, we're all on the same
page.

(36:19):
Baggy Pants Brigade.

So I did like Ice Ice Baby, baby.
When it's not the version, butwhen he came back and did that
metal version of ice ice baby Ithought that it was brilliant,
first of all, that he did thatright.
Uh, I can't fucking.
I liked both of them when theyfirst came out.
This is definitely a tough one.
I have to pick one.

(36:45):
I fucking got to go with IceIce Baby.

(36:51):
I have to that hurt.
Mark, I got to go with Okay.

Okay, okay.

(37:03):
I got to go with.
Can't touch this, because youknow why no ice tried to steal
that from queen.
He tried to.
He didn't want to pay him.
They had to sue him.
Ah, fuck you of.
In.
Oh, ice, fuck yeah.
Well, he owns bolt songs now.
So yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeahhe ended up doing okay for
himself.

Yeah, and you know what I did like like his
reality show where they wouldbuy these old mansions, these
abandoned, foreclosed mansionsdown here in South Florida and
he would come in and renovatethem.
He'd flip them.
I haven't seen it, but I didhear about it.
Dude, he's actually a good dude, he's engaging, but so is

(37:41):
Hammer Hammer's a good guy.
You know, you, he's actually agood dude, he's engaging, but so
is Hammer Hammer's a good guy.
You never really they tried tobe bad, but you're not that guy.
Only, hammer blew all of hismoney, but he blew all his money
helping his friends.

(37:54):
He was generous, he was very generous.

Whereas Vanilla Ice got his shit stolen from him
by Suge Knight.
I heard that story.
The infamous hanging him overthe balcony got his shit stolen
from him by Suge Knight.
Yeah, I heard that story, theinfamous hanging him over the
balcony like American Gigolo.
I believe it, man.
I absolutely believe it.
Yeah, did you see AmericanGigolo?
Either one of you, yeah.

(38:16):
I can't remember it.

Not really.
So long ago I can't remember.
There was the black guy Iforget his name.
I I know his name too.
He played julian's pimp, whowas richard gear, right, yeah,
um, I forget the guy's name.
But he gets put over thebalcony and, like richard gear

(38:39):
they had a fight or somethinghe's trying to hang on and the
dude fucking falls out of hisboots like oh well, no more pimp
, yeah yeah, uh, okay, here wego.
This is a good one.
This is a good one.
Uh, perry, you make the call, Iwill uh come on eileen, or?

(38:59):
Or?
This is a good fucking AI iscoming up big lately, or 8, 6, 7
, 5, 3 0 9.
I'm a pop fan, so I'm goingwith 8, 6, 7, 5, 3 0 9.
Yeah, by the way, that was oneof my one hit wonders I was
going to talk about later yeah,and we will, and we will yes, me

(39:20):
too.

(39:20):
I've had that too.

I have to say it's on everybody's one hit one.
Yeah it's, it's a, it's a greatone hit one tommy two-tone and
eight, eight, six, seven, five,three, oh, nine, jenny, I think
it's called.
Yeah, yep, backslash, jenny.
Yeah got it, I got it.
I gotta go with I.
I always love this song andit's it's kind of a.
If you listen to the lyrics,come on eileen, it's kind of

(39:44):
dark like.
If you listen to the lyrics,come on Eileen, it's kind of
dark.

(39:46):
Yeah, oh yeah, you got to listen to the lyrics on that.

I've pointed this out in the past a couple times.
It's like a Smith song, likeMark you just mentioned.
What song was it that?
Oh, boys of Summer, summer,dark lyrics.
I call those Smith songs whereit's a happy, like that was the
brilliance of the Smiths.
It's Johnny Maher and you knowhe could play those up-tempo,

(40:08):
great guitar riffs andMorrissey's lyrics are like I
want to bludgeon you in your bed.
I want to kick your teeth in,like literally these are lines
out of Morrissey's songs, andMorrissey's melodies too, yeah
the way he croons it he justcroons those melodies and it's
like that was one of thebrilliance of it.

(40:30):
That's why I say the lyrics thatMorrissey wrote are fucking
intelligent, they're brilliant,they're sharp, they're very
pointed in what he wants.
To get that point across.
Yeah, yep, so yeah I, I gottago with.
Come on eileen.
I think it's always been one ofmy favorite one hit wonders.
It's probably in my top threeone hit wonders.
So hello, jenny, can't take itaway.

(40:52):
There's no wrong answers greatpop songs.

(40:54):
Yeah, yep mark I'm going with come on eileen, because I
thought you were going to go theother way.

All right, good, it gets in my head the way he he
goes.

(41:04):
Come On Eileen, come On Eileen .
He just says it in so manydifferent rhythms.
But, they're both.
I mean, jenny was like growingup.
I think I was like 13 when thatcame out.
It's huge and it hit me huge.
You know Early 80s.
Early 80, early 80s.
I like Dexys.

Alright, here's another.
Better of two evils, Perry.
What's the better of two evilson these one-hit wonders?
You make the call, Perry.
Who let the dogs out?
Or Macarena?

(41:39):
Oh boy, that's worse than the last Ice, ice Baby you can't
touch.
This is even worse.
Oh boy, oh boy.
That's worse than the last Ice,ice Baby you Can't Touch.
This is even worse.

Oh boy, I'm going with who Let the Dogs Out?
God damn, that might be one ofthe worst songs I've ever heard.
Both of them might be.
Now I'm going to go withMacarena because in the video,
in the video there was a girlit's all these girls dancing,
but there's this one girl inparticular that just stood out

(42:10):
to me and she has on these shinyshorts, tight shorts, and she's
this petite, I like petite,I've always been a petite girl
guy kind of.
She's this petite, I likepetite.
Right, I've always been apetite girl guy kind of right,
and she's got like the blue hairand she's the fucking prettiest
thing and I would just kind oflook at her and go that is a

(42:31):
beautiful girl.
So just because of that, justbecause of that and they show
her like in blurbs, like inlittle blurbs but I got to go
with Macarena just because ofthat, because who, who lets the
dogs out, is the fuckingstupidest song.
It's just fucking in the claws.
Nothing, it's just.
To me was a no offense.
Perry, I know you picked it.

(42:52):
I don't like either of them.

I gotta go Macarena because of the cute
petite girl with the curly hair,the little afro thing going.

(43:01):
And yeah, mark well, I do like the way these annoying hits,
how they're assembled by aproducer.
I do listen right, and so I'mjust going to say I hate them
both.
But Macarena, the arrangementon that to make a smash hit it's
ingenious.

It is.

(43:16):
But the way the keyboard goes, you know.

Yeah, yeah, so I'll go with Macarena, but man
All right, perry, you make thecall and we go into the nineties
.
This is some 90 shit right here.

(54:03):
The melodies are forgettable, it's just pop music with cowboy
hats.

It's right, it's country pop.
It's plastic country pop.
Yeah, it's it's.
It's not real country music,but everybody fucking fell for
it because that's what was fedto them you know what it sounds
like you're absolutely right,yeah it sounds like a deaf
leopard mutt lang album.

(54:20):
Some of this new modern country.
It's got those cheap melodies.
I was listening to Willie todayand I was listening to Chris
Christopherson those outlawcountry singers that are
supposed to be so tough.
They wrote some of the bestballads, heartfelt lyrics, you
don't get that with new country.
Some of those angels flying tooclose to the ground.
That's a beautiful song but,like you said, it's what you're

(54:42):
being fed.
It's all the formula.
Let's stick with it.

That's what all the industry wants you to listen
to.
They all sound the same.
You don't know who it issinging anymore.
Yeah, all right.
Next one this is interesting,perry, you make the call One Hit
Wonder Edition, my Sharona orFlock of Seagulls.
I Ran.
They're both really great songs.

(55:06):
They are.
They are both good songs.
I think I'm going with Flock ofSeagulls on this one, alright,
no wrong answer.
I like synth pop too.
No wrong answer.
This is a tough one on a goodnote.
My Sharona is a very uniquesong.

(55:28):
Yes, it really is the beat, thewhole, and then it has that
whole break in the middle of it.
It goes into like a wholenother song.

(55:37):
Yeah.

Kind of Beatle, you know, in the style of the
Beatles.

(55:40):
Great break.

Yeah, and the Beach Boys, how they can do that
, and it's again like a wholeother song.
Then they break back intoMascherona and I think that's
all production, of course, but Igot to go with Mascherona just
because I love Irene and it'spower pop.
Yeah, yep, and so technically,this might be part of the

(56:02):
discussion it always is is flockof seagulls?
Are they one hit wonders?
They had a couple of shots,maybe.
Yeah, but we'll talk about that.
We'll see where that takes usin that and what really is a
white hit wonder, uh, mark.

(56:17):
Tough one.
Uh, probably for the samereason you said Scott Tough one.
Probably for the same reasonyou said Scott Maestro on is a
very unique hit song, because inthe middle they got that
breakdown, yeah, and I'm a progguy, so I like to hear the beat
change.

Okay.

(56:30):
I ran man that sounds so good on a late night driving in the
fog.

I wouldn't say that in Israel, right now Too
soon Too soon.

(56:40):
No, we can play, maestro ronnie I ran too soon.

Take my wife, please.
Oh, we just lost listeners oh,there you go.

(56:57):
I think we lost lou.
Okay, uh, here we go.
This is, this is an interestingone, they're all interesting.

I think we lost Lou.
Okay, here we go.
This is an interesting one,they're all interesting.
Yes, perry, you make the call.
One Hit Wonders Walking onSunshine, yeah, which?
You know, can't deny it.
It was a very pop-ish, reallygood.
You know, I believe she passedaway, didn't she?
Breast cancer, I hope, katrina,I think she did.

(57:25):
Wow, mark, look that up, if youwould.
Yeah, Katrina, and the Waves.
I could be wrong.

(57:32):
Are you telling me what to do?

No, I'm being the host of the show.
You can tell me what to do.
It's okay, I can just look itup.

(57:41):
And what was the other one?

See Perry if I didn't say that he'd look it up
anyways.

(57:43):
But it's like he was doing it.

He was probably looking it up as you said it.
Just don't tell me what to dobecause I'm already doing it,
type thing.
That's what that was and what'sthe other one?
After Katrina and the waves,I'm getting to that Walking
Spirit in the Sky.
Wow, yeah, and they're bothone-hit wonders.
Very much one-hit wonders.
I got to tell you I'm goingwith Katrina and the Waves on

(58:08):
this one.
Love that frigging song.
Okay, I love them both.
By the way, yeah, yeah, again,no wrong answer.
Katrina, you know HurricaneKatrina.
Okay, sorry, it's really reallyhard to beat this intro.

(58:31):
Yeah, norman Greenbaum.
Yeah, one of the greatestintros in the history of music.
Yeah, literally a one note note.
You know the fucking intro andI, I've seen him interviewed.
He's been trying to reproducethat guitar sound.
Can't do it.

(58:52):
He'll never be able to get thatcomplete sound again like that.
Yeah, but then, but then thishappens, then that happens.
I always found that to be notup to par with the intro, the
intro has this heavy groove andI'm expecting this

(59:15):
follow-through of just a heavysong.
Then he goes light on that, alittle gospel in a sense.
Yeah but that intro is far fromwhat the song is.
The intro is its own.
You know, it's like the AlanParsons project Eye in the Sky
the intro is its own, fuckingsong.

(59:35):
You know the whole work up tothe synthesized it's actually
another song.

(59:43):
technically it's another song.

It is, but it always leads into Eye in the Sky
right.

(59:49):
I know what you're saying.
I love it.

So I always found that that was just never sat
right with me.
I like the song, but I do haveto go with.
I gotta go with Walking onSunshine.
It's more consistent, you getwhat you get right from the
beginning to the end.
It's upbeat, it's happy, yeah.
So I gotta go with Walking onSunshine.

(01:00:11):
Did you find anything about Katrina?
Okay, not only is Katrina alive, but Katrina, in a way, has won
the 1997 Eurovision SongContest.
Get the fuck out of here.

Scott McLean (01:00:21):
You know what Scott.

(01:00:23):
Penalty box.
No, I asked for it.

I asked for it oh wait, wait he did that to
himself.

(01:00:33):
I thought he was going to put you in the penalty box.
So, perry, did you ever see LaTraviate?
That opera, it's got a greatgreat climax.
At the end, the violins come in.
It's got a great great climaxat the end, the violins come in.

It's amazing we just raised his Just shut the
fuck up.
You shut the fuck up.
No, you shut the fuck up.
No, no, you shut the fuck up.
I saw you don't tell me to shutthe fuck up.
See how I win that.
See how I won that, Ferry See.

(01:00:57):
You always win.
I let you win, it's your show.

Okay, where are we ?
Oh, here we go.
Oh, now look at this.
So, all right, we got a problem.

(01:01:08):
Houston, we have a problem.

Yeah, I'm here, entertain me.
Big Head Todd the Wet Sprocketjust came in with I am here,
period, entertain me, period.
Lou did one line of I am here,me right, so you may now start
the show.
Right for the record, big HeadTodd the Witsprocket, who's
chiming in on the chat of thelive stream, one Louis Colicchio

(01:01:34):

Liam Gallagher and he's hecklingus from the balcony while we're
on the show.
He's pulling a Liam.

(01:01:42):
Gallagher, and he's heckling us from the balcony While we're
on the show.

he's heckling us from the balcony he stole your
line.
I don't know if you can see it,but right down at the bottom he
stole your line.
So this is a problem.
I think you should deal with itappropriately.
I'm steering clear of this.
We'll be waiting for yourresponse.
Big Head Todd, head todd thewet sprocket all right.

(01:02:02):
So if we're starting the show again, 45 poker, let's go.

if you're going to go after him, go after his car.
Can't get to him now.
Can't get to him.

He might not have a car, we don't know yet that
car might have got swept downthe river.

Let's see what this one is.

(01:04:06):
I hate that name.
I would think that was.

Beck.
They're trying to sound likeBeck, right, and they're trying
to steal that kind of Incubus.
Oh, I remember that songFucking horrible song and
they're trying to steal thatkind of incubus sound.

(01:04:24):

It's a good story.
Right, sounds like the 90s,doesn't it?
Yeah, yeah, south cali soundslike south california.
Well, they're from new jersey,aren't they?
Yeah, yeah, stacy, can I comeover?

I remember this song the high school kids
perving after the hot mom we allhad a friend, that we you know,
I look back now.
I look back now right back inthe day when I was in it, when I
was a player, right, and Ireally kind of kicked myself in
the ass for not getting older.

(01:05:22):
You start kind of kicked myselfin the ass for not because I I
getting older, you start kind oflooking at things differently
and I have an extremely newfoundrespect for older women, right.
I guess it's just kind of theway we progress and it's nothing
like I.
I think my wife is the mostbeautiful woman in the world.
I I'm not saying anything otherthan that, but you see it like
a good looking older woman andyou're like, damn, why didn't I

(01:05:46):
try to hit that shit when I wasfucking 24?
Yeah, why did I look like, whydidn't I pay attention to that
Like idiot?

(01:05:57):
Idiot.

Yeah, no, I got to go with the fucking young
knuckleheads that, yeah, shouldhave been going after a 40 year
old.
There were plenty of teachersthere was.
It was fine, I mean, and I'mlike, what the fuck?
Why did I?
Why did I not pay attention tothat?
What was you know why?
Because my prefrontal lobe tooka little extra to touch to me.

(01:06:21):
It took a little extra for me.
So when I was in seventh grade,stacy's mom was always right in
front of us.

(01:06:27):
Well, when I was in seventh grade I had a crush in Perry
Knows the School on my homeroomteacher and to me she was an
older woman and I happened tofind my yearbook and I look back
she was probably like 23 or 24.
But when you're in seventhgrade that's an older woman, you
know, and she still was cute.

I was like wow, in my high school, miss Poulos I
thought Miss Poulos was a littlehottie, she was.
And then we had the musicteacher, miss Beaver, that was
her name.
No, no, no it was Miss Beaver.
Yeah, and then she was a hottietoo.

(01:07:04):
But teachers is one thing.
Like you go over somebody'shouse and like you look at their
mom and like I, my friendsdidn't really have moms, like
that didn't really have.
Like somebody that you're likelooking at, you're like yo, dude
, why they had either.
Yet when you're over your houseyou just bunker moms.
I mean, he just had you know, Iguess you never really look at
it.

(01:07:23):
He did Bunker Moms there was a couple.

There was a couple .
Yeah, see, patty, remember MissBeaver?
Yeah, yeah, miss Beaver was ahottie, miss Poulos, in the high
school, she was really.
Then there was this one teacher, miss Napoli, and like she sat
behind the desk.
And Napoli, and like she satbehind the desk and she was
pretty Italian woman, right,like you can see, she's Italian,
dark black, you know very blackhair and you know, and she's

(01:07:47):
not, like she's not unattractive, until she stood up and her ass
was like as wide as the fuckingdoor frame.
It's like how does that, how doyou put that?
It's like sitting down.
What are those things calledthe fucking half horse, half
human, minipede or somethinglike that.

(01:08:07):
Senators or whatever.

Senators yeah, she was one of those.

(01:08:12):
She had this fucking regular size from the torso.

It was like normal size, because people sit too
much.
That happens, patty, just put athing up there.
I see a blank.
Oh, there it is All your laughemojis.
Yeah, I'm just saying, I'm justsaying she stood up.
I was like, yeah, so much forthat, so much for Miss Napoli.
Yeah, but how old were you then?

(01:08:35):
Right, I was in what they usedto call junior high.
It should have always beenjunior high.
This middle school shit.
Fucking.
Gen Xers and millennials cametheir parents came up with the
middle school.
Middle school, this high school,this junior high school.
That's all there is to it.

(01:08:53):
I think they just call it middle school because they
started separating all theschools, Because in my area
junior high was actuallyconnected to the elementary
school.

Yeah, and in my town ninth grade was still
junior high was actuallyconnected to the elementary
school.
Yeah, and I, in my town ninthgrade was still junior high, it
wasn't high school.
Oh see, now my school, it wasin the town I live now.

(01:09:08):
My kids in eighth grade were going to high school.

My high school is five years yeah, this is my
school where I grew up.
It's split, it's like middleschool, whatever, junior high,
and then the other half of theschool is the high school.
Yeah, anyway, okay, uh, did wecome up with an answer?
Stacy's mom yeah, we all agreeyeah, yep, uh, this, this is an
easy one, I think, gentlemen.
Uh, perry, you make the call,one hit wonders rico, suave, or

That shit was a rite of passage.
Wait a minute.
You have a tattoo on your backthat says rhino.
No, it is a rhino, oh, oh yeah,it is a rhino.

(01:10:56):
It's a fucking you know now what rite of passage was it when
you joined all the pain thefucking pain that you go through
because your back is isn'tdesensitized like your arms yeah
your back doesn't get touched.

Your back doesn't have that.
It's everything all your nerveendings like and everything dude
he was.
He'd stick in one spot, likearound my shoulder blade and I'd
feel fucking burn in my toes.
Yeah, like the nerves that hethey would have to just to kind
of detail and get in there andfill it in, and it was probably

(01:11:29):
12 hours over three sessions.
When did you get it?
when you joined the military nono, I got it afterwards, I got
it when I moved to hollywood.
Um, I got it probably in like2000, I think, maybe 1999, maybe
.
Yeah, that fucker hurt.
It was a rite of passage,believe me.
That was three sessions, fourhours each.

(01:11:52):
And look at me, apparentlythat's where all your I'm
staying out of this one.
oh, oh sissy.
This is the guy who won't evenget a tattoo because it hurts.
I won't either.
I don't like it.
It's a needle and it hurts.
I'm big head Todd, the wetsprocket and I'm telling you
right now tattoos just hurt.

(01:12:12):
Why would anybody do that?
It's needles and ink in yourskin.
Plus, he's a redhead, so he'swhite as a fucking cheetah paper
.

(01:12:21):
so god I have.
If you put a tattoo on him,it's like a neon sign.

What perry?
I have no ink either.
That's all right.
Just don't ever get a tattoo ofa rhino on your back.
Everything else you're okay,trust me.
Okay, like bon jovi, littlesuperman, like yeah you're,

hear you in the bathroom.

See, you have to travel to go to the bathroom,
right.

(01:13:26):
Mark, I got to go, and then I come back.
I'm out of breath because I'moverweight.

I'm like Todd Big Head Todd the way it sparkles
says I have one on my back and Inever cried to anybody about my
sissy nerve endings, so youlied about it.
He doesn't have shit on hisback.
Don't listen to him.
Here's mr bodybuilder.
Bodybuilders don't put ink onthemselves really no, you're not

(01:13:49):
, you're kind of you're.
You got muscles, though, fucking.
But I'm not a boy, this dude is.
He was like a fucking redheadarnold schwarzenegger when I met
him.
I'm just naturally big.
I don't lift weights, I'm justgenetically fucking blessed in
that sense, but this dude waslike a fucking redheaded Arnold.

(01:14:08):
Yeah, and you know what Redheads?

they're unpredictable.
Redheads are fuckingunpredictable.
Ginger snaps they got that.
Yeah, they got this.
They're a different type ofperson, right, not saying
anything.
He doesn't want to know becausehe's a different type of dude.

(01:14:22):
Well, you, you know anyone with scottish, you know, I found
out I'm not irish, isn't?
It I.
I found out that I'm not irish.
This year I found out I'm 70scottish and that probably
explains me.
I had a terrible temper foryears, just like knocked down
yeah, but todd never.

Todd was always.
Uh, he was always kind ofeven-keeled, he was
even-tempered, he was quirky.
He probably still is.
Also, he's more Irish, I thinkhe's English Sockman is.
English, I think.

(01:14:52):
Yeah, yeah, the whole island is all.

We're all like but , Todd was that guy I always
said this Me and Todd never hada fight.
It would have been.
It would have been a fuckingbloodbath one way or another.

(01:15:08):
He's the dude that I always said you know I'll fight you,
motherfucking, and I you know,and I always said I'll win.
You have to say that rightthat's called mutual.

Get get his hands on me once he gets his hands on
you.

(01:15:15):
Yeah, he's, he's, he's strong well, that's called mutual
assured destruction.

So neither of you want to get over there.
It's definitely going to bedamaged, I mean buildings would
come down.

(01:15:23):
It'd be like those great fight movies where buildings, walls
are falling down.

We're both going to the emergency room for
something that probably wouldhave been the case.

(01:15:33):
From what you tell me, I think Todd may have the upper hand
there.
No, I don't know.
I was a fighter, though.

Todd was a bouncer , I was a fighter, like.
I got in like street fights,bar fights.
Todd was anintimidating-looking guy and he
could handle himself.
There's no doubt and he cancorrect me if I'm wrong I know
he's got some skills, becausethat's why he always had my back
right.
There was always—we're totalopposites.
We were fucking—he's thisred-headed, fucking muscle head

(01:16:00):
from LA, right, and I'm justthis fucking Irish guy with a
big mouth from Boston, right.

(01:16:10):
There's no reason why we should ever have gotten along A
big-mouth Irish guy from Boston.
You're very unique, scott.
It covers a lot, I know.

Because we have a lot of big-mouth Irish guys from
Jersey too.

(01:16:19):
Yeah, yeah, I'm one of them.

That narrows it down.
We were best friends right offthe bat.
It was never we'd never haveeven.
It just wasn't even.
We just never got mad at eachother.
There was really in all ourtime we never like, we never had
an argument we never had.
It was one of those friendships.
It's like another levelfriendship, like we were just

(01:16:42):
connected.
We bonded as soon as we met.
As the story goes, he was justshocked that I never saw him.
Until the day I saw him, wewere in Law Enforcement Academy
and we were buying book bags forour fucking binders that we
needed.
And we were out by this van andthey were selling them for like

(01:17:08):
I don't know five bucks a pieceor something back in 87, which
is like I don't know 15 buckstoday, right, and uh, he didn't
have any money and I stand thenext one.
I said I'll, I'll get it foryou.
And he looks like, really, yeah, you need five bucks, I'll buy
it for you.
Just, you know, pay me back.
And and we were fucking bestfriends ever since.
Cool, like it was just that'sthe way we met.
Yeah, I just you know, I'llgive you five bucks, because
that's the kind of guy I am, youknow, like if you'll pay me

(01:17:32):
back, I'll get thatmotherfucking money.
Just don't make me put a vig onthat shit.
Well, I guess he paid you back.
He did, yeah, he paid me backlike the next day, you know, and
then we were fucking bestfriends after that.
He's the one that got me to thePhilippines.
It was because of him I endedup.
Ah yeah.

(01:17:50):
And that became your adopted country.

Yeah, alright, I dig it.
We gotta get back to this, didyou answer?
It's my answer.
I gotta go with.
I'd melt with you, I have to.
Yeah, although I don't likethat they did like a 1992 remake
of it.

(01:18:05):
It was kind of psychedelic and yeah yeah you know the whole
thing.

I thought that was a bad move they would.
They were just trying tocapitalize, remixing and
everything yeah modern englishwas like they, that was their
one hit.
And then they were yeah, I hadto redo it just just like the
police redid, what was it?
Don't Stand so Close To Me.
Don't Stand so Close To Me,like 92 or something right,
which I actually do like thatversion.

(01:18:31):
I do.

I liked it.
I liked it, Mark.
What's your?

(01:18:35):
answer.
I'll tell you.
You guys know my musical likes,so who do you think I like
better Video killed the radiosong Jeff Downs.
It's a good song.

If there's any connection to yes or something
Mark's going with yes.
So give us the six degrees ofseparation between the Buggles
and yes.

(01:18:54):
I can't right now.
You got to let me plan thesethings, but I will say something
.
There's a connection, though.
Right, those, yes, the Buggles,jeff downs and um trevor horn
joined yes, trevor horn sang foryes, that was an old, faded
tour, but then yes broke up.
When yes got back together did90215.
Yeah, um, john anderson cameback in the band, but trevor

(01:19:17):
horn was asked to produce it, sohe produced it.
trevor Horn became a huge.
He did Frankie Goes Hollywood.
He's a huge producer and JeffDowns, of course, went on to do
Asia.
And then for a few years Asiaand yes were touring and Jeff
Downs would play in both bands.

Look, at that Mark fucking comes through.

(01:19:35):
But you know what?
I hate the lyrics because itpisses me off.
Because it pisses me offbecause it's like it's
announcing the mtv age.
But it was just a factual songvideo killed, the radio came out
before mtv.

Yeah, and the video came out before mtv that's
almost like they were.

(01:19:50):
They were saying let's get video going, you know, and they
were they they, they saw.

Whoever wrote the lyrics saw something coming yeah
, yeah are oh, here we go.
What I'll stop the world andmelt with you.
I thought it was video kill theradio.

(01:20:06):
What the fuck?
You know what If I could?

put him in the penalty box, he'd get a fucking
five-minute major I can see youguys.
Forty years ago, you and him,together in a bar in the
Philippines.

(01:20:18):
Oh, that wasn't good.

Yeah, if me and him were together.
Somebody was getting punched inthe face, because usually me
doing the punching and himkeeping everybody else away or
holding the guy.
Well.
So there was this time where mygirlfriend who I ended up
marrying was my first wife.
She got look it up, it's true.
Okay, well, we'll believe youIf he said look it up, I guess

(01:20:42):
the internet doesn.
So some fucking ugly Americandecided he was going to throw a
balut at my wife who was mygirlfriend at the time, and a
balut is an egg.
I know exactly what it is I wasa healthcare worker.
There's a belief that a balutmakes you.

(01:21:05):
Yeah, it's very salty.

It's good.
So he hits her with it, but shedoesn't tell me and I go to see
her and she's like's like, I'mlike, why did you change your
shirt?
And she went and somebody saidsomebody did something, they
threw something at her and I waslike, oh, oh, okay.
And like my wife was like shewas the general manager of like
13 bars in a restaurant, likeshe was like in the executive

(01:21:30):
thing and she would walk aroundand check on shit and she was
the liaison between that companyand the base.
So she was respectable, let'sput it that way.
And so somebody told me wherethe guy went into.
The kid went into.
So I tell Todd and I said let'sgo.
And we tracked this dude downand fucking todd, todd stood

(01:21:54):
behind me and I proceeded tobounce this kid's head off a
fucking brick wall, like twice Ibat you, look back, I'm like I
could have killed the dude.
You could have killed him, dude.
Yeah, I fucked him up.
I'll tell you that you want tothrow eggs at women, huh, you
think?
you're a tough guy, I'm a toughguy.
It's a duck egg or somethingisn't it?

(01:22:13):
Yeah, yeah, I was like.

I'm a tough guy.
He's a tough guy and I pointbehind me You're a pussy.
He's like what?
And his girlfriend's side saidhis head off the wall and he
starts to do something likebounce his head off the wall

(01:22:36):
again because he was sitting upagainst the wall.
So use what's around you.

(01:22:41):
Maybe I don't want to go to Boca Raton.

Needless to say, he never did that again.
And I mean, todd just walkedout of there.
Nobody hit the field, nobodystepped in, not again.
And I, me and todd just walkedout of there.
Nobody hit the feed, nobodystepped in, not even the fucking
security guards, not even theuh shore police, or that wasn't
happening, wasn't happening.
Nope, nope.
Although there was another timeat a bar where I got in a fight
and it was chaos, total chaos,and I kind of started it and

(01:23:05):
town patrol was coming and Icould ill afford to get in
trouble again because I alreadyhad an article 15, ill afford to
get in trouble again because Ialready had an article 15 and if
I got in trouble again I wasgonna get kicked out right.
So this bar was upstairs, itwas called the barking fish
great name of a bar, right, andtodd just grabs, he goes come on
, let's go, you got to get outof here.
And he we're going down thestairs and town patrol's coming

(01:23:29):
up the stairs.
Unfortunately, todd knew theseguys and, like in a movie, I
fucking slide in and I'm behindhim, I'm hiding on the stairway
behind todd.
It's this, it's this cementstairway going upstairs,
probably 20 steps going up thereand todd's like oh, there's a
big fight up there, you betterget up there.
And they fucking run right pastus and me and todd just fucking

(01:23:51):
walked.
See you later, we're out ofhere.

(01:23:52):
We calmly walked, falling to the crowd and we're just gone.
Yeah, it was like a movie, itwas.

The place was fucking crazy.
I got a hundred of thosestories, so I would guess you
guys were at clark airbase.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, all right.
Okay, cool, we had a good time.
All right, let's get back tothe show.

(01:24:07):
Well, listen.
Ai overview, todd's right.
The lyrics of Modern English,as I met with you, are about a
couple making love while anatomic bomb is dropped.
The song's lyrics are acommentary on the existential
discomfort of the Cold War era,when people were worried about a
nuclear war and losing contactwith their loved ones, All right
.
I changed my answer?

That's too fucking mushy.

(01:24:26):
Video-computated.
That's my pick.

It's fucking simple.
There's not fucking trying tobe some sort of like blah, blah,
blah, right, all right, I won't, I like it, I'm not with you.
Anyway, they're both good,they're both great.

Bittersweet symphony, wow, uh,now I'm going with the verve.
Mark, just grit his teeth.
Yeah, I'm going withBittersweet Symphony, the Verve.
Yeah, why?
It's just, I like thecomplexity of the song yeah,

(01:29:00):
yeah.
Scott, nothing compares,nothing compares.
I know where you're going.
You're going where Patty'sgoing.
Right, I got to go with my girl.
I was a Sinead O'Connor fanfrom her first album I always
said her debut album the Lionand the Cobra, one of the
greatest debut albums ever.

(01:29:22):
If you've never listened to itI've said this a hundred times.
If I've said it more, go listento that album.
There is not a bad song on thatalbum the Lion and the Cobra,
sinead O'Connor.

(01:29:35):
Yeah.

And this was her second album and fucking monster
, monster hit.
I mean, I don't know, thatcould be one of the greatest
one-hit wonders ever.
That's got to be in the topfive.
And I love the Verve, I loveBittersweet Symphony.
I love a lot of their stuff.

(01:29:56):
If you want to listen to agreat album, listen to the Verve
.
And the album is four.
I don't know if you guys everlistened to that.
Listen to it.
It's a great, fucking album,great album, but I got it.
Nothing compares to you.
It's just a monster song.
And I heard prince's versionthe other day.
it's horrible because, I've,because I've heard sene right

(01:30:20):
yeah a real singer.
Sing the song, yeah, and holdon one second.
Hold on one second and ChrisCornell's version.
Chris Cornell's version ofNothing Compares to.
You Acoustic go listen to thatagain, greatest singer of his

(01:30:41):
generation.
Absolutely go listen to hisversion of Nothing Compares to
you Acoustic it's fuckingamazing, it's amazing.
So that's my answer.
Version of Nothing Compares toyou acoustic it's fucking
amazing, it's amazing.
So that's my answer.
I hate the choice.
Yeah.
There's no wrong answer, though.
No, there isn't, mark.

(01:31:04):
While Bittersweet Symphony to me comes on like a classic who
song, it's got swagger.
The video has the swagger withthe guy walking through the
crowd.
That's what I felt.
I some reason I thought of thewho when I heard it.
It's a statement and I love it,but nothing compares to you in
that song, even though it's acover.
She, her pain, is encapsulatedin those lyrics.

(01:31:28):
I've never heard such a big hitmove me so much.
It was a huge hit.
Yeah, and everything I loveabout Sined in her vocal
inflections was in that.

Yeah, yeah, the lead singer of the verse,
richard Ashcroft.
Yeah, fucking talented,talented dude, but they got
stifled because of that wholeRolling Stones thing.
No, the Rolling Stones cut themloose on that.

(01:31:50):
It took years.

It took literally years.
They were rolling, they were ona fucking, they were shooting,
and then it just they put theirthumb on them, on purpose almost
.

(01:32:02):
My son-in-law told me the band also fucked him royally.
They left him or I don't know.
He just got, he was on his ownhe did good on his own.

He's a.

(01:32:11):
He's a still a good singer and he toured with liam gallagher
and my son-in-law saw him incentral park for free.
Yeah, free show with those two,wow, yeah.

And you know, richard askrov, he is the verb.
I mean, there's no yeah likewho knows anybody else in the
band.
I still find it interestingthough that, like you said,
scott, it's like you know as faras the american public is
concerned.

(01:32:33):
You were talking about shanae's, uh o'connor's first
album.

Not a bad song, no , but she's considered a one-hit
wonder with that song.
Nothing compares to youalthough she had a small hit
with mandika yeah, I rememberthat.

(01:32:47):
Yeah, yeah, um.

But it was an mt.

(01:32:50):
More of an mtv hit than a top 40.

Yeah, it was on.
Yeah, it wasn't.
It was on the radiooccasionally but it wasn't.

(01:32:56):
Uh, yeah and that great song lay your hands on me wasn't a
hit, but that was a great song,yeah it was yeah and uh.

Who was the uh?
Who was the rapper?

(01:33:06):

Cherry, I'm not sure how thatone goes.

(01:33:29):

It's kind of like a driving acoustic play.
Save tonight.
Let me see, because I'mfamiliar with closing time.

Good lyrics on closing time.
Yeah, let me see, here we go.
Oh, that's the song you'retalking about.
Yeah, I like that song.
I'm going with that one.
Oh, yeah, I'm in Dude, that'smy choice, right there.
Yeah, no, you made your choice,no changing.

(01:34:04):
No, you didn't make a choice.

No, no, no, no no, I swear I heard him say the
other one.
I've changed my mind because Isaid I haven't heard the other
song, but now I have.
I just didn't know that thatwas the song.

(01:34:17):
No penalty box Perry Perry, he cheats, all right, he cheats.
Penalty box he's got the cardcorners bent.

Come on, I swear I heard him say the other one,
because he didn't know His firstshow, you put him in the
penalty box Yep, I spent nobody.

(01:34:50):
Okay, cool, well, anyway, I chose the first one, but I
really liked that second song,See he did choose the first one.
I did.

I did Because he didn't know the other stuff.
Mark penalty box.

(01:34:59):
See.

Mark lying to me, mark trying to get in good with
you.
While Lou's away, he wants tomove up the ranks of Music.

(01:35:10):
Relish you see how he did that .

But he failed miserably.
He's pounding out of the bottleof wine.
He just has a bottle of wineand he's oh, he's got.
I thought it was a box of wine.
Oh you go ahead, took theopportunity to pound it down.

(01:35:28):
The Yellowtail does not make boxes, they only serve in
bottles my choice is closingtime.

I love the lyrics.
They're clever.
You know you don't have to gohome, but you can't stay here.
You know somebody's ending isanother.
What is it?
Somebody's beginning is anotherperson's ending we've all been
there.

(01:35:46):
It's good, because I've been at many bars where it was
fucking the there.

Yep, yeah, yeah, it's good, because I've been at
many bars where it was fuckingthe lights come on and it's yep.
Who are you going with?
Who are you with?

(01:35:55):
I've been there a lot of times .
That scene in the office whenthey were saying closing time
makes me hate that song as muchas any counting you know what
you know what song from thefucking office makes me I hate.

Life is a highway.
Remember they went on the roadtrip and they played that, oh,
man, I was half asleep when thatepisode was on.

(01:36:12):
I kept waking up and I'm like, why do I hear it again?
So you like Eagle Eye Cherry?

I don't like it.
Closing Time does remind me ofa.

(01:36:22):
Counting Crows song and it just irks me.
I don't know, maybe I shouldlisten to the lyrics.

I'm throwing this one out.
It Maybe I should listen to thelyrics.

Sorry, dude, I'm sorry toramble on and on.

No, it's a great song.
I am not arguing with you.

(01:38:04):
I love that, and this is what I'll tell you, what I love about
that song.

Shannon Hoon.
Too bad he died early.
That song sounds like it cameout in 1972.

(01:38:12):
Right.

It's one of those sounding songs.
It sounds like it came out 25years before it actually did.
Did you know Shannon Hoon sangwith Axl Rose on one of the
songs, I think on the secondalbum?
There's a video where they'reon top of a water tower or
something, Is that?

(01:38:33):
Don't Cry.
I think it's Don't Cry.
I think it's Don't Cry yeah.

Shannon Hoon is the other singer in that.
Yeah, love that song.
That's what I'm going with andI remember that video.

(01:38:42):
It's a great song With Bumblebee B-Girl, with the
B-Girl.

Yeah, the bee girl .
Yeah, yep, yep, and then shefinds all her other bumblebees.
You know all it's and it's agreat.
You know what's going on.
They don't ever there's, no.
You just know what's going onwith that video.

(01:38:55):
It was very well done and they did the video when she finds
the other bees.
Yeah, it synced with the music,perfect yeah, yeah, 93 blind
melon, yeah, it's on my listyeah, but I have to say I
fucking love this song.

I love this.
There's a documentary on them.
This guy is like and the videois fucking cool and he's is
fucking cool Losing down thefreeway in the hot, hot sun and
he's with that's his sister,that's his sister and his
brother in the backseat of thecar and yeah, I fucking love

(01:39:41):
this song.
No wrong answers, right?

(01:39:44):
No, it's so fucking it's such a happy song.
Yeah, right, right, it's just afucking happy song.
Feel good song, yeah, with themexican sounding acoustic in the
background.

Yeah the whole thing and there I think they
were tonguing um, it's just afun song and that dude dude kind
of caught a bad rap.
I forget his name, he's alegend on that island.
There's a whole littledocumentary about that group and
he caught a disease thatattacked his immune system and

(01:40:26):
the media made it sound like hehad AIDS.
So he kind of got stuck withthat like he died of AIDS, which
today it doesn't happen, firstof all, very rarely.
Yeah, but in the 90s it wasstill that residual from the 80s

(01:40:46):
and that kind of stigma of youoh, there's that right and uh, I
just thought that that that wasthat sucked, that he kind of
got that that rap and they hadto defend it.

(01:40:58):
They had this family, had the defenders and no, that's not the
case but, on the other hand,why would you like if someone
did die of aids?
I didn't look at them any lesswell, it's portrayed in the
media like they made it wasn'tthe fact that people were like,
oh it's, the media took it andtried to make them look
irresponsible.

He died of AIDS, but that's not the case, like
it's not the case, right?
So I just thought that.
But that song is one of my.
I fucking love that song.
Something about it just isalways happy.
It's just upbeat and it'ssmooth, like you see the video.
He's fucking smooth.

(01:41:37):
I think OMC stood for theoriginal millionaires club, like
that's what it stood for.
So that's my choice.
How Bizarre.
What about you, mark?

(01:41:47):
Well, how Bizarre.
Is a perfect example, scott, ofhow rock and pop music were
influenced by rap, because thatwas in the 90s when you started
to have singers.
They weren't rapping but theywere talking more to the beat.
You know Beck.
Well, beck tried to rap butyeah, but no, I got to go with
Blind Melon.
That appeals to me directly.

(01:42:08):
I mean, see it blind melon.
That's that appeals to medirectly.
I mean I love them both, butblind melon is.
I still hear that song.
I still tear up when I thinkabout it.
All right, yeah, and I like,and little miss sunshine is one
of my best favorite movies and Ialways connected that you ever
see that with alan arkin.

Yeah, I did a little heroin yeah, I try it's
good it's good, all right, thisis the final one.
This is the final one.
This is the final one.
I don't know if we're going toget to.
We can talk about it next week.
We can get to a couple of 45sright, we can do a couple of our
favorite top 100s.

This is the final one, number20.
Perry, yes, you make the call.

Just saying I'm definitelygetting it, you're poking me,
you're poking me, I hear itcoming, it's coming.
This is definitely it.
I got to go.

I love that song but I love Filter.
I like Nice Shot.
I just think that they're agood band.
Filter is actually the leadsinger.
He was that guy that fired thewhole band and hired a new band
and kept the name Filter andjust kept carrying on with
Filter.
Okay so it's his band.

(01:45:23):
It was his band.

Yeah, it was his, so I just like take a picture.
It's really, but I loveFlagpole City too.
As a matter of fact, I'm goingto add these two to my, to my
finely manicured playlist.

(01:45:39):
Cool, you know I started a Milk Crate's homework playlist.
Have you seen it?
I don't know.

I got a lot of fucking playlists.

(01:45:47):
What I'm doing is when you mention songs that I should hear
.
I just put it on the milkcrates playlist oh, okay, so
it's like, yeah, I gotta listento, so I write stuff down while
you talk, you know gotcha.

So all right, I say take a picture now, mark the
final one love filter.

(01:46:03):
I do, I like, I like him as a whole, but harvey danger, what?

a song and it gets in your mind and it's like a
worm.
That was in that movie.
That was in that movie wherethe teacher, the kids, got
fucking in the school School ofRock.
No, no, they got crazy.
There was something thatinfected them and they just
became.

(01:46:28):
Oh, I know what you mean.
It's been used in a couple ofmovies, but yeah, it's a great
song.
Yeah, Is it Apt Pupil?
No, that's not that.

No, no no, that's more of the Nazi.
Yeah, I forget the name of it,but not American Pie.
No, no, let's see, I got toknow this now.
Let me see.

(01:46:59):
Uh, mr kata.
Mr kata, I'm taking a bathroomhall pass, I'll be right back.
Yeah, yeah, go ahead.
Yeah, uh, here we go.
I don't even know how to lookthat up.
Let's see which song, the firstone or the second one, the
second one?
Yeah, that'll be a tough queryto get out there.

(01:47:21):
How would you word it to findout?
Yeah, yeah, let me see Writinginspiration.
My favorite credits in any movieis the last ones, because the
last ones are the songwritersand the music that was used in
the movie Disturbing Behavior.
That's the name of the movie.
Yeah, disturbing Behavior, 1998.

(01:47:44):
I seem to remember hearingabout that movie.
I may have even seen it.
Yeah, now, that movie.
I may have even seen it.
Yeah, that's that.
Now that movie has another onehit wonder that I I, another one
I absolutely like.
It's got to be in my top 10 bythe flies.
How does that one go?
Got you where I want you.

(01:48:08):
This was, this is.
This is the music video.
Was the movie for this song?
Got you where I want you.
This is the music video.
It was the movie for this song.
What's the point of this?
You never heard?
this song I have.

(01:48:28):
Yeah, yeah, that's a greatone-hit wonder right there.
A lot of times I don't know thename of the song or the band,
but I know, I hear them inmovies.
Yeah, the Flies.
Yep, they had this thing, theFlies, where they would like the
lead singer sang into twomicrophones.
It was kind of their sound typething, cool.
But I don't know what everhappened to them, but this was

(01:48:55):
their big hit and it was offthat mark.
The name of the movie wasdisturbing behavior yes 1998.
Yeah, yeah, all right, so thatthat that was good.
That was a good one that tookup the whole show.
But so, perry, tell me why youthink what makes a one-hit
wonder?
What?
What is it?

(01:49:15):
well that makes a one-hit wonder got well, it depends on
when it was.
When I was a kid it was a radio, it was the radio, the am radio
to me and, of course, go.

What do you mean?
Go a little deeper, like, go alittle beyond that, like what
makes it that fucking good thatit just can never be recreated?
The bands can never hit thatlevel.
What is it about?
A one-hit wonder that gets intothe pop culture bloodline?
I don't know, it's got to bethe melody or the hook.

(01:49:52):
You know the chorus is usually the big hook, that's, you know,
going to reel you in, buteverybody's got a hit in them
too.

So in other words, you know like say you know,
first one on my list is theFlying Machine Right.

(01:50:10):
Who's?

that?
What did they say they had?
They had one hit.
It was smile, a little smilefor me oh wow, rosemary.
Yeah, rosemary, yeah, they'llnever, they never crack the top
40 again, but yet it's themelody, or it.
You know, it might be the age Iwas when I heard it's the
melody, or it might be the age Iwas when I heard it on the

(01:50:31):
radio.
You know what I mean so you sayone hit wonders by that kind of
rationale.
One hit wonders it's an agething, it's a.
Like an age thing, it's a itattracts to a certain
demographic.
It depends on the person Ispoke to.
Melody pulls me in.
It attracts to a certaindemographic.
It depends on the person Ispoke with.

(01:50:51):
Melody pulls me in.
Melody pulls me in, so that'sprobably what it is.
For me is Melody, and beingeight years old or whatever, I
was you know when that song cameout.

(01:51:03):
Yeah, Mark, you know when a season ends in a sport like
baseball and you think thenumber one team is gonna go all
the way, but then you got thatone team, it's their moment.
They just happen to be big thatmoment, and I think one hit
wonders.
They have that magical momentbecause we've all heard songs
that could be hits and they justweren't.
I'll give you a brief example.

(01:51:25):
The years after led zeppelindisbanded, people were dying to
hear Led Zeppelin, right.
So this band comes along.
Remember this song.

Yeah, I think it's a zebra warning.

(01:51:43):
Yeah, well, that was the number one.
Hit Zebra warning.
That was for you Perry, thatwas for you Ze.
One hit Zebra warning, that wasfor you Perry.

That was for you.
Zebra warning, zebra warning.

(01:51:52):
Anyway, 1983, people still wanted to hear Zeppelin, that
kind of rock, you know.
And so Zebra come along.
What killed them is and youalso got to look at what makes a
one-hit wonder, what makes themhave that hit, but also what
causes them to be a one hitwonder.
I think with this group it wastheir first album.
They had a massive hit.

(01:52:12):
It's hard to top that and youmost don't do that.
So they don't that?

that's what makes the song not not around it.

(01:52:21):
America was like rock fans were hungry for that kind of
music.
There was no one sounding likerobert plant.
Here comes randy jackson, zebra.
They were a zeppelin cover bandtoo.
They were known for that and Ithink that they just hit it at
the right time.
Had that come out in 89, itprobably wouldn't have been a
number one hit, because thatkind of music wasn't big, you
know.
So they started, they kind oflike continued a trend, people

(01:52:45):
that were dying for that 70sstyle hard rock.
They luckily had a hit with itin the 80s.
You know, some bands with theirone hit wonder they start a new
trend but then they can't likeequal that like.
So yeah, you get bands like, um, let's say focus, remember
hocus pocus.
Sure, that was very unique andI think that's the reason it
became a hit, because it wasunique.

(01:53:05):
They weren't going to do thatagain and have a hit.

You know that was just too unique you't going to
do that again and have a hit.
That was just too unique.
Well, that motherfucker AlStewart did it.

(01:53:14):
Yeah.

Did he?

(01:53:16):
have only one hit.
He mimicked fucking, you're aCat with Time Passenger.
Yeah, it's a lot of luckbecause we know that there's a
million singles out there.
Perry and Lou have turned me onto all these singles that
weren't hits, but they're greatsongs.
It's just the luck of the draw.
There's also songs.

You know the business was depending on the
area you're talking about.
There's song pluggers, thereare people that push these songs
.
Let's get it to the DJ.

(01:53:45):
You know what I mean?
Yeah, that's true.

I gotta say, because one hit, one does come
in all shapes and sizes Likewomen.

(01:53:56):
What is the?

fiber of the song that makes it a pop culture Kind
of not.
Some are phenomenon, somethinglike the.
You know my Sharona was aphenomenon of a song like it was
just and then you have likeplay that funky music which
really wasn't.
It was a good, it was a funsong and it was right.

(01:54:18):
You know, uh, it was a goodclub song but it's like it can
almost be considered noveltyafter a certain point.
But what is like?
Okay, so some have a good hook,some have a good beat, some
have like good.

(01:54:32):
Jackie Jackie Blue.
Right, jack Jackie Blue was asong with a great hook.
It was guaranteed to be a hit,and that was, you know, by Ozark
Mountain Daredevils, but theone one hit, like Warren Zevon
had one big hit Werewolves inLondon.
What caused that to be?
I've always been kind of likeit's a great song.
What caused it to be so biglike?

well that no.
So now that I could, I couldprobably comment on that.
I will comment on that.
So werewolves in london wasnumber one.
It was a a catchy song, yeah,because it was about a werewolf
right.
So right there, and the lyricsare very clear.
There's no distorting thelyrics, right, right he.

(01:55:13):
He brings you into a wholestory about this werewolf right
and how he met the werewolf, andhe'll rip your lungs out, yeah,
and he referenced whatwerewolves do to people.
And right, yeah, london.
And so he puts you in london.
So that is the reason that songwas so catchy because you could
relate to it, because we allgrew up watching the werewolf

(01:55:35):
movies, right.
So that's why that was a bighit and everybody loved it.
And plus he put a great songbehind it, a great melody, a
great beat, great up tempo,infectious.
And the way he sings, his tone,his style and how he emphasizes
.
You know he drops those thingsin there.

(01:55:58):
And you know, I heard the liveversion and it says and he
changed it, it was pretty funny.
He said you know, I'd like tomeet as Taylor.
Right, I'd like to meet asTaylor.
And when he sang it live, hesaid, and he's looking for James
Taylor Right right, which Ithought was fucking brilliant,
right Thought that was brilliant.
So that song Dancing in theMoonlight another great fucking

(01:56:23):
little catch right at thebeginning, absolutely yeah,
right at the beginning.
It catches you and it bringsyou into something you're
talking about thin lizzy, right?

(01:56:32):
no, no, no, starland vault, uh , king harvest, king harvest,
yeah, yeah it brings you intothis happy fucking mood, right,
yeah, everybody.

It brings everybody into it like there's
songs that that are great songs,that are happy songs do you
know what I mean?

(01:56:51):
everybody likes them.
Yeah, dude.
You know what I mean?
Lee michaels, that was a partysong.
Yeah, you know you heard thatyou were partying.
You were shaking, but noteverybody liked it though, but
yeah, but you know.
These are the songs that thisis why they became.

Dancing in the moonlight was not a demographic,
I mean adults.
Adults like that song, kidslike that song, right?
Yeah, you know, it's just theway it was designed and it's
never one-hit wonders, I don'tknow.
Okay, there are some that arecontrived, like Mickey, right?

(01:57:23):
Oh, Mickey, you're so fine, Right right.

All right, now I'm going to attribute that to the
videos, the songs that becameone hit.
One is because of the video mtv.

(01:57:35):
Right, yeah, right yeah, so that's a cover song, by the way,
too excuse me, yeah, that'scover song.

Okay, who sang it originally?
A british group?
Okay, yeah, uh, I think ABritish group.
Okay, yeah, I think you couldalmost eliminate MTV or make it
its own category, because, likeI said, the Go-Go's would not
have been popular if it wasn'tfor MTV.
I've heard you state that manytimes on your show.

(01:58:02):
It's true.

It's absolutely fucking true, correct.
The Go-Go's were a phenomenon.
Their music was just a platformfor them as a band.
In fact, I I remember seeing onyour show you and jack and gina
shock came on.
She was talking to you and shesaid fuck you scott did jack

(01:58:26):
arrange that?
No, that was actually.
He had that.
He had that video.
That was a video he had thatmade for her to talk to me like
he.
She sent me a message like itwas funny as fuck.
but the bottom line is like thenight the lights went out in
Georgia.
That is a story.
She brings you Vicky Lawrence,brings you right into the story.

(01:58:49):
This, this is amazing.
I was just going to say that,yeah, and then my next sentence
was going to be that song.
Yeah, it's a story song, you'repulled into the story.
Yes, and she sings it wellbecause Vicki Lawrence had a
really good voice.
Yeah, yep, but then you getlike Pilot.

(01:59:10):
Oh, oh, oh, oh, it's magicright now.
That is not really a goodfucking song.
It was good for the time.
I don't think it aged wellbecause daddy was a cop.
Is that the one?

(01:59:21):
no, no, no, magic is oh oh, oh , it's magic, right, yeah?
Now to me personally.
That song is age.

Well, I like it it's it hasn't it's, it's okay,
but you don't hear it like.
It doesn't get played that muchanymore.

(01:59:38):
I don't think, yeah, time life , uh thing on, yeah, yeah but I
don't know something about these.

One hit wonders, and I and I again, I'm
eliminating the mtv era of onehit wonders because there's a
contributing factor to that anda lot of them go pre-mtv there's
a lot of shitty songs that hadcool videos that went to number
one we have no I.

(02:00:00):
I would say this how many times did we see a song on mtv
and assume it was the number onesong because it was all over
mtv?
But if you actually look atbillboard it didn't chart
Because MTV was a separateuniverse.

A lot of Billy Idol songs didn't chart.

(02:00:13):
Yeah.

Eyes Without a Face, didn't I mean?
It might have made it to thetop 40, but it didn't make it to
the top 10.
Now, when I was a kid too,there was this song Rebel Yell
did In the year 2525.
I've heard that song a thousandtimes 's that, that's like
Zeger and Evans, we had the 45,but it's like, yeah, okay, I
heard it a thousand times.

(02:00:35):
I think I've heard it enough.
And there are those one hitwonders that you get sick of
hearing.

(02:00:39):
Right seasons in the sun like 99 Luftballons, right, nina?

you can attribute to that she was German, they
were a.
German band they came over here, uh, they, they conquered for a
year and then, you know, wentback to germany.
Whatever right, still a greatsong, great beat.
You know, it's all.
They're always catchy in a way.
But there's also those funsongs like you were talking
about before, like remember thatone mungo jerry in the

(02:01:08):
summertime I'll tell you a songthat's stupider than that song.
That's a stupid song really ifyou think about it.
The safety dance Men WithoutHats is a fucking stupid song.
But I like the melody on thatsong.
With all due respect to Jack'swife Deb.
She's one of her favorite songsever.

(02:01:24):
You can dance if you want to.

Leave the world to all.
Do it just caught people'sattention.
It's so fucking lowbrow.
Though If you separate the MTVvideo from just listening to the
song, you get a differentperspective on it.
Without the video, the videoactually made it worse.
That's my point.

(02:01:46):
They're dressed like.

Jethro Tull running through a field I don't
know.

(02:01:50):
One of the greatest rock songs ever written right was black
okay patty, what was it?

what was it perry?
No, I'm reading patty's.
Uh, what was the greatest song?
You just said something blackhole, sun great song yeah right,
but I couldn't stand the video.
I couldn't stand it so when Iheard it.
Disturbing when I heard it onFM radio.
I'm like this is crazy, that'swhat I mean.
Sometimes the video turns itoff the video made it bad, but
hearing it on FM radio I'm likethis is a fantastic fantastic

(02:02:20):
song.
Patty says I love songs becauseof their lyrics.
Lyrics are very important to alot of people.

(02:02:28):
I agree, and I have this eternal argument with Tom Tom
Spallone.
He says lyrics don't matter, Idon't care about it.
No, they do To him, they don't.

Some people they do exactly Music.
Now, music is interpretive.

(02:02:42):
Correct.

See, there's no really wrong answer.
It's what that particularperson hears and that's why some
people like heavy metal, somepeople like death metal, but
worth without Melody.
Or Lou Reed.
So, yeah, yeah, exactly thetalker.
You broke my heart and you mademe cry, oh my lord, although I

(02:03:02):
do like that song.
But I love you, suzanne.

(02:03:06):
You know why?

Because it's catchy.
It's catchy.
Was that his biggest hit?

(02:03:11):
No Walk on the Wild Side.
No, his biggest hit wasprobably Walk on the Wild.
Side.
Yeah, Walk on the Wild Side.
He got away with a couple ofwords in there I hate that song
with a passion God.

I hate it.

(02:03:23):
Oh, by the way, mocky.

Mock and the Funky Bunch did a slight remake of
that.

(02:03:28):
Really Bunch did a.

They did like a slight remake of that Really,
yeah, except they changed it.
It's actually pretty.
It's not bad.
I give them credit.
It's not a bad song.
So look it up.
Mocky Mock and the Funky Bunch.

(02:03:38):
That's my bud, mocky Mark.

Yeah, my bud, yeah , let me see, let me see.
And then Mark, and then, uh,mark, in a gala to feed a mom.
That was a one hit, right yeah,you're right and it's a 16

(02:04:01):
minute one.

(02:04:01):
Hit wonder.
I'm sure there was an.

AM version boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom.
Wow, my uh, somebody told meone time Boom boom, boom, boom,
boom boom.

(02:04:14):
Wow, my Spotify is like.
Somebody told me one time thatDeep Purple were a one-hit
wonder and they might be rightbecause their stuff they were
popular, but as far as top 10hits they might be, Well, yeah,
but.

I don't know, to me a one-hit was like.
So here you go, his Marky Mark.

(02:04:36):
I remember that.
That's the remix right.
See, it's better with MarkyMark.
Oh, that's Marky Mark Smith.
And the.
Funky Bug this was.
I don't know if this aged well.

Is that Mark?

(02:04:59):
Wahlberg.

That didn't age well, was that Mark?

(02:05:07):
Wahlberg.
That was Mark Wahlberg.
Yeah, you've got to be kiddingme.
Yeah, that didn't age well, wasthat Mark Wahlberg?
That was Mark Wahlberg.
Yeah, you've got to be kiddingme.

Yeah, that didn't age well.

(02:05:13):
That's my inner Marky Mark, yeah.

This is the song.

(02:05:21):
Yeah, you feel it, baby.

This is the one-hit wonder right there, look
at Mark doing the white boydance.
Who is this?
And who's the singer in thebackground?
Who's the lady singer?
What's her name?
Donnie Wahlberg.

(02:05:37):
No no.

That was good, she's coming up right here.
Gloria Gaynor no, she's comingup no, she sang on a lot of
songs in the 90s.
Chaka Khan no Coming up.

(02:05:51):
No, she sang on a lot of songs in the 90s.
Chaka Khan no, that's a delightgirl, isn't it?
No?

Her name is.
She also did for the C&C MusicFactory.
She was a singer for Black BoxA lot of 90s songs.
But, she's a big girl.

(02:06:11):
Her name is Martha Walsh.
I hope she got compensated.

Oh she did in the end she went after them all.
Black Box took her voice andbig dance songs by them in the
90s, early 90s.
They took her voice and theygave it to this beautiful black
woman for the videos and this.
This girl lip-synced it andthey never gave Martha Walsh any

(02:06:36):
breath, any credit.
Now Martha Walsh went on to beone half of the weather girls,
it's raining yeah yeah, soremember uh, uh and and uh.
Wilson was a victim of thisvideos were not, uh, very nice
to big girls.
Yeah, yeah, they weren't reallynice to big girls back then and

(02:07:00):
wilson was beautiful.
No matter what, she's just abeautiful woman yeah, well,
again she, she got shit on bigtime.
But yeah, gentlemen, we're twohours into this and, perry, I'm
just getting started.
I come on.
I think, perry, you'll be backnext week.
Uh, we can pick this up, umagain we can.

(02:07:21):
We can continue because we, weboth, all three of us have a
large list of one hit wonders.
But let's let's do this so.
So try to go a little deeperinto what you think really makes
a one-hit wonder.
Like I'm not, saying get allphilosophical on it.
Yeah, there's so many differentreasons.
Save that for next week, yeah,and then we can kind of pick it
up, and then we'll start riflingthrough because I have top.

(02:07:43):
I have, uh, the top 20 of mytop 20, one hit wonders from the
70s, 80ss and 90s.

(02:07:51):
So I got a lot of them.
Yeah, well, cool, we could do aroundtable one after another.
Yeah, like we always do.

It's kind of like, okay, give us a song and we
break it down, maybe we justmove past it, but there was
plenty to talk about one-hitwonders, yeah, and this is an
episode.
So I'm redoing old episodes,like Jack and I did an episode
on this, but it was one hour andit was like, okay, that's an
episode where we left a lot ofshit on the table Because we

(02:08:16):
