Let me turn this down.
Who's going to go with this?
I don't care, let's go overhere, let's jump right into it.

(04:47):
Actually, let's go.
I'm going to pull up this musicnews and I'll decide what story
I want to go with.
First Singer hints at 50-50chance.

(05:10):
No, that's not the one.
Let's go with the four hit rocksongs from the 90s that never
let's see, that never went outof style.
Let's see.
Let's see what this one's allabout.
So let's see me go over herenow.

(05:33):
It's gonna play the video.
I don't want to play the video.
Girl, girl, what is this doingthis?
Here we go, okay, here we go.
Let me put it up on the screennow, and there we are four hit

(06:05):
songs from the 1990s that neverwent out of style, and, as the
article goes, millennials havewatched many beloved things from
their childhoods go out ofstyle and all but vanish.
In recent years, though, thepower of nostalgia has
resurrected.
Things like JNCO, jeans,pokemon, throwback TV shows and

(06:28):
baby booms.
Remember all this stuff.
We've had these retrospectivesthrough our life too, these
flashbacks, throwbacks.
However, music from that erahas never really faltered.
While rock, hip-hop and countrymusic have experienced a boom
in popularity in recent years,the tunes never truly went out
of style.

(06:48):
These hit songs from the 1990smay have moved from the current
rock station to the classic rockstation, but they never stopped
being cool.
Well, we'll be the judge of that, remember I?
I don't ever read thesearticles, I just see the
headline.
I think it might be good totalk about, and so I do it.
So let's see.
This fucking other screen isjust absolutely pissing me off.

(07:12):
It's pissing me off Whitey.
All right, let's see what thefirst one is.
Let's see Enter Sandman byMetallica.
All right, all right, all right, I'll give them that.
Does that song get old?
When do you start getting sickof that?

(07:36):
I don't know.
It's got one of the greatestintros in the history of music
and an absolute iconic intro.
Let me turn this down thisvideo play.
This is video gonna play.
Let's see what it does.
I don't know it's coming out ofthe speaker, let's get out of

(08:01):
it.
So metallica entered the 1990sby aiming for mainstream rock
success.
They shed the thrash metalsound that made them a global
power.
You know what that was?
In an interestingtransformation they went through
, they cut their hair right.
Lars alrick just absolutelytook over that band and tried to
rebrand them.

(08:22):
It was somewhat of a mistake,in a sense, that they went
extreme.
Like I said, they all cut theirhair and they weren't wearing
the leather anymore and theyweren't being that metal sound.
I think Lars got caught up inthe whole 90s thing.
As it says, the metal soundthat made them global powerhouse

(08:45):
throughout the 80s, softentheir edges and release the
self-titled album.
While some may not be able toremember most of the songs from
the Black Album, enter Sandmanhas remained their most popular
song, no doubt.
Now this one.
I no, no, no, fuck, no.
Now this one.
No, no, no, fuck, no.

(09:06):
You're telling me that thisarticle by songwriter four hit
rock songs from the 1990s thatnever went out of style.
Knocking on heaven's door byGuns N' Roses.
What?
Out of all the fucking GNRsongs, they picked this one,
what?

(09:26):
Let's see what this moronwrites.
No matter the genre, great songsnever go out of style.
First of all, this is a fuckingremake.
It's a cover song.
Legendary rock band Guns N'Roses proved this with their
1990 cover of bob dylan'sknocking on heaven's door.

(09:47):
Dylan originally wrote the songfor the self soundtrack for the
1973 film pat garrett and billythe kid.
It was a hit for both artists.
I, I, I can't say.
I can definitely say this isnot one of those songs that
never went out of style.
It did.
It did Now Thunderstruck Again.

(10:10):
So there you go, one of thegreatest intros.
You know if there was a top 25intros, because there's so many
fucking hair on my microphone,where'd that come from?
I'm bald.
Anyway, you know, if there's atop 25 of greatest intros, acdc
would have I don't know two ofthem, and Thunderstruck would

(10:34):
probably be, would mostdefinitely be, one of them.
So, as it says here, acdcproved they were ready to rock
their way through another decadewhen they released their 1990
album, the razor's edge, thelead single.
The lead single, thunderstruckhas one of the most iconic
intros.
Right, I don't read these.
I don't read these.
So they, they agree with me.

(10:56):
The writer agrees with me.
That's how I see this.
It is one of the only.
It's all.
It's one of only a handful ofsongs released after back in
black that remains a staple ofthe band's set list, proving
that the song has never fallenout of favor with the band's
legions of fans.

(11:17):
There's a uh, there is a, agroup.
There's three girls and I thinkone plays the bagpipes and two
play the bagpipes and one playsthe fiddle, and they're kind of
hot looking and they doThunderstruck.
And I've seen another guy doThunderstruck with bagpipes,

(11:47):
bagpipes.
He's like in some square, likesome town square, and like
fucking England or I don't knowIreland, not Ireland, but uh,
and he's got flames that shootout of the bagpipe.
It's pretty cool.
Uh, number four Mary Jane's lastdance.
Again, I don't know.
I, I'm Tom Petty, had a had abunch of good songs in the 90s.
Well, you know what.
It is a memorable song, though,but is it a song that never

(12:15):
went out of style?
I don't know about that.
I seriously have to questionthat.
Well, I don't know.
What do you think?
What do you think?
I don't know.
What do you think?
What do you think?
I don't know?
Doug Calley, welcome to thelive stream.
Dave Phillips, king of the 45s,welcome to the live stream.

(12:35):
Uh, let me see.
You know what I'm trying tothis.
Let's go over here.
Let's go into restream again,because I have to when I get.
When I have two screens going uplogos, I don't know why.

(12:55):
It's a way too long.
Let's try this.
No, that's crazy.
Uh, I don't know.

(13:16):
Try this one.
Bear with me for one second.
I think I'm, oh, I think I'm, Ithink I'm, I think I can see
what I'm doing now.
See, when you do this with,with two screens, turns volume.

(13:38):
There we go.
See when you show.
When I show on the screen, Ihave to be able to see what I'm
doing on another screen.
So if you see me looking downto my left, that's because I'm
watching the screen as I'mreading.
Anyway, it doesn't matter, itdoesn't, it really doesn't

(14:01):
matter.
Let's see.
What else do we have in themusic news here?
Ah, let's do a follow-up fromlast week.
Let's do a follow-up from lastweek.
Let me come over here.
Get rid of that.
They found so if you werewatching last week or if you

(14:23):
listened.
They found so if you werewatching last week or if you
listened, nancy Wilson's guitarwas stolen.
It was this one-of-a-kindguitar or too irreplaceable.
So here we go.
I'll just let me see somethingover here.

(14:47):
I have to be able to see who'sthere too.
Alright, nancy Wilson's stolencustom guitar recovered by New
Jersey police Fucking New Jersey, Fucking people.
I said it last week, I'll sayit this week One of two
irreplaceable instruments stolenfrom the band Heart at a New

(15:07):
Jersey venue fucking New Jerseytwo weeks ago has been retrieved
.
According to the AssociatedPress, on Tuesday, june 10th,
police in Atlantic City saidthey had recovered the purple
baritone Telecaster guitar WithAH hand painted and hot I guess.

(15:28):
Right, ah hand paintedheadstock belonging to Guitarist
Nancy Wilson I don't know whatthe fuck AH means From a woman
who bought it From the suspectedthief.
So they got it from this lady.
She bought it off this guy,probably 50 bucks.
He went and bought some rock.

(15:48):
He's good to go.
She got a guitar, not anymore.
Crackhead wins.
Detective said surveillancevideo showed the suspect handing
the telecaster over to thewoman who put the instrument in
her car, which was parkedseveral blocks away from the
hard rock hotel and casino venuewhere hot had been scheduled to
perform.

(16:09):
Police employed automatedlicense plate readers to
identify.
See, you're always beingwatched, always being watched to
identify the vehicle and thentrack this location to find the
woman who voluntarilysurrendered the guitar.
She didn't do anything wrong.
She just bought a guitar off acrackhead.

(16:30):
Crackhead wins garfield bennett, the 57 year old pleasantville,
new jersey man she bought itfrom for an undisclosed amount,
closed amount, has been chargedwith burglary and theft.
Yeah Well, again.

(16:52):
Why the fuck are you leavingthose things unattended?
I don't know.
That's good, she got it back.
She got one back.
Somebody else is on the run.
That thing would be that otherguitar.
Now, that person knows thisshit's out there.
They're looking, they'relooking.
I would fucking bury that thingin a hole in the woods or

(17:15):
something.
All right, what else do we gottonight?
What else do we got tonight?
Let's get that off the air.
Let's bring me back up.
Let me go back over here.
Where am I there?
We go.
All right, ten classic rockartists who left their band and

(17:41):
had a successful solo career.
We'll be the judge of that,won't we?
We'll be the judge of that.
Let me pull this up.
I'm getting good at this, jesus.
Susan Haskell.
Good evening.
Big Head Todd the wet sprocketcomes in at 7.19 and announces I

(18:04):
am here, entertain me.
Yeah okay, no argument from youtonight.
You're not worth it.
Anyway, there we go Ten classicrock artists Now you be the
judge Ten classic rock artistswho left their band and had a
successful solo career.
I think this is suspect, thoughthis is suspect, and I'll get

(18:28):
to it.
We often fixate and analyze somany different elements of the
classic rock music with amicroscope like what makes rock,
especially from the 70s and 80stime period, something we
consider classic, with songsfrom the upper echelon of the
genre still quite popular tothis day on streaming services

(18:48):
like spotify, to the point thatthey've crossed over a billion
streams.
Well, classic rock still knowshow to get our attention and our
ears this way, right down tosome uh, right down to some of
the biggest bands in classicrock, and why they broke up.
Those juicy details aside,though, what about what happened

(19:11):
to those classic rock bandringleaders once the band drama,
the disagreements and the egosgot put to the side and they
went solo?
Instead, me and Jack did a.
I think it was like episode.
This is episode 178, 178, andthis is probably episode like 20
lead singers that went on tohave successful careers.

(19:35):
I don't know that freedomdoesn't always lead to a fatal
blow for these creators whodecide to go independent, though
sometimes the results aren'tgreat.
In fact, there are more than afew musicians who not only left
their groups behind, butarguably had equal, if not
greater, success once they choseto go and make a name for
themselves.
Now I'm going to say right offthe bat and again I haven't read

(19:57):
this Steve Perry.
When Steve Perry was, when hewas popular, he left Journey.
He had a really successfulcareer, solo career for a little
while until he blew out hisvoice.
Do you think he was at onepoint bigger than Journey?
He had some big hits.

(20:20):
He was the voice of Journey,right?
So do you think he was biggerthan journey at one point?
Journey eventually, of course,came back with uh, I forget the
lead singer's name.
They got him from some coverband, tribute band, and then
they got arnel pineda from thephilippines and he's been with

(20:43):
them longer than I think StevePerry was with them originally.
So let's go.
Number 10, darius Rucker, hootieand the Blowfish.
Well, let's face it, he wasHootie and the Blowfish.
This isn't a stretch here.
This is not a big stretch.
Darius Rucker was Hootie andthe Blowfish.
Can you name another personfrom Hootie and the Blowfish.

(21:04):
Can you name another personfrom Hootie and the Blowfish
other than Darius Rucker?
No, so this isn't a stretch.
I'm not even going to engagethat one, so let's go to the
next one.
I might go back to this articleTen classic rock songs that

(21:25):
have become essential karaoketunes.
I might go back to that article.
This could be a disaster, butwe'll see.
Number nine Michael McDonald,the Doobie Brothers.
Okay, yeah, yeah.
Very successful solo career.
He was with Steely Dan for aminute.

(21:47):
He was a gun for hire for aminute.
Doobie Brothers had some oftheir best hits went on his own.
Yeah, I give him that.
I think Michael McDonaldactually was bigger than the
Dewey Brothers in the end.
Oh, halfway through the DeweyBrothers, you know they were a

(22:08):
dated band.
Really I'm not going to readthe whole thing about him.
Let's go to number eight Stingthe Police.
Sting on his own was not biggerthan the Police.
That's my opinion.
Sting on his own was not biggerthan the police.
That's my opinion.
Sting on his own was not biggerthan the police.
Sting had some good albums,good songs.

(22:31):
But I'm not going to say I saidthis loose.
I'm not going to say he, thepolice were fucking huge,
monstrous.
Sting had a very successful solocareer, but I don't think he
was bigger than the police, justdon't.

(22:52):
They had such an influence forthat short period of time, from
like 78 to what.
Was it Like 85, I think maybe,and that was it like 85.
I think maybe, and uh, that wasit.
But they left a fucking mark onmusic.
He benefited from that.
I would say he, he had a lot todo with this success, but the

(23:16):
trio was being.
It was bigger than the solo.
I'd say.
So let's move on.
That's number eight, numberseven.
Then there's this other articleTen classic rock bands that are
still touring today.
I don't know, that's aconversation.
Classic rock bands that arestill touring today.

(23:37):
They're in their fucking 70s.
I don't know.
I don't know.
We'll see about that.
Phil Collins in Genesis, yes,and why isn't Phil Collins in
the Rock and Roll Hall of Fameon his own?
That's a question.
That's a legitimate question.
He should be, but he's not.

(24:00):
Was Phil Collins solo careerbigger than Genesis?
That could be a coin flip,because Genesis they were
fucking big, but Phil Collinswas one of those artists, he was
one of those singers that.
He was one of the faces of the80s.

(24:23):
You know, like Lionel Richiewas everywhere, phil Collins was
everywhere.
There's a few more that wereout there that were.
They were just everywhere inthe 80s and Phil Collins was.
He was one of them, and PhilCollins, he was one of them.

(24:45):
So Phil Collins, genesis coinflip, like I said, joan Jett and
the Runaways that's a blowout.
The Runaways weren't reallythat popular, by the way, they
just weren't.
People knew about them becausethey were an all-girl band and

(25:05):
they were okay, but they weren'tpopular.
She made them popular after sheleft.
Lita Ford made them popularafter she left.
Those two leaving the Runawaysmade the Runaways more popular
than they were when they weretogether.
And, of course, joan Jett hugecareer, huge career.

(25:27):
I would never knock her, never.
Or him, her, him.
She is built like a 12-year-oldboy.
I shouldn't have said that.
I'm just, that's not right, Justsaying just saying Jack would

(25:49):
be going whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa,whoa right now.
But let me see Big Head Toddthe Wet Sprocket said I change
the channel every time thepolice and or Sting comes on the
radio.
Is that a is now?
That's the thing.
A lot of people will do that tocertain groups.
They just get sick of hearingthem.
They're overplayed.

(26:10):
What is a band that you willlisten to every single time they
come on?
Think about that one.
Like, there's certain songs, ifit's, even if it's halfway
through the song, you stilllisten to it.
You know, I think everyone hasthose bands, no matter what

(26:33):
they're gonna listen to the song.
So all right, that was numbersix.
Joan jett and the runaways.
That that was a runaway forjoan jett.
I'll give you that.
Peter gabriel and genesis I, ifyou, if you know the show and
you've heard me over the years,uh, over the last 178 episodes I
am not a huge peter gabriel fan.

(26:53):
I am not.
I thought his shit with genesiswas fucking that artsy garbage.
I hate that stuff.
That visual art where thesinger you know he's fucking
doing weird shit, acting weird,fucking putting makeup on Like

(27:14):
that makes no sense.
Peter Gabriel.
Now the video Sledgehammer.
It was ahead of its time, itwas an original process.
It won best video of the yearon MTV right at MTV's peak.
Uh, but uh, dave Phillips, kingof the 45s, says Jay Giles and

(27:35):
Peter Wolf, like that's probablywe could have probably figured
that, you know.
Uh, but Peter Gabriel, genesiswas bigger than Petereter
gabriel, that's it.
They just were.
When phil collins took overgenesis, that's when they took
off.
Nobody fucking talks about oldgenesis.
Nobody talks about genesisbefore phil collins was the

(27:59):
singer.
They just don't.
They say, oh, peter Gabriel waspart of Genesis, but that's it.
You don't hear any old.
Very rarely, if ever, do youhear an old pre-Phil Collins
Genesis Very, very rarely.

(28:19):
And Peter Gabriel on his ownsuccessful career, you, you know
who am I to knock him?
I don't like him, I don't likehis music, I don't know him.
I I don't like, I don'tparticularly like his music.
He's got.
I have probably like three goodsongs in my book, um, but yeah,
he had to go, he had to go.

(28:41):
It's like that, dennis, thedude from fucking Styx who I
can't stand, the band Tommy Shaw, I don't like any of them.
And Dennis DeYoung tries to dothis whole.
You've heard me say it.
I'm repeating myself.
But yeah, and Sid Barrett didit with Pink Floyd.

(29:01):
Let's put it this way Genesisbefore Phil Collins took over is
like Fleetwood Mac beforeLindsey Buckingham and Stevie
Nicks.
That's all there is to it.
Nobody fucking listens toFleetwood Mac before those two

(29:21):
and they had like six albumsbefore that.
And, yeah, everybody's like, ohwell, so-and-so played for them
and so-and-so played for themand Bob Welch played for them
and blah, blah, blah.
But where do you hear that onthe radio?
No, you don't.
There's a fucking generationand a half of people that don't
know that fucking Fleetwood Macexisted before Stevie Nicks and

(29:43):
Lindsey Buckingham, just saying.
And there is a generation and ahalf of people that don't care
that Peter Gabriel was withGenesis before Phil Collins
started writing hits.
Prove me wrong, as they say.
All right, let's get down tonumber four.
Rod Stewart, the Jeff Beck group, in Faces.
So Rod Stewart's one of those.
He was one of those dudes.
Me wrong, as they say.

(30:03):
All right, let's get down tonumber four.
Rod stewart, the jeff beck groupand faces.
So rod stewart's one of those.
He was one of those dudes.
You just knew that he was notlong for any band he was in.
It just just wasn't.
Because rod stewart's toodynamic, the voice is too unique
, had the looks, had the swagger, a true front man, but for the

(30:28):
most part he was not long forany band.
So, rod stewart, you couldcombine the jeff becker and I
was never a jeff beck fan either.
I never got it like I don'tknow Amazing guitarist, but I
just never got it Faces with RonWood.
But Ron Wood landed on his feetwith the Rolling Stones.

(30:48):
So there you go.
But Rod Stewart, yeah, handsdown, these were stepping stones
to him, these classic rockbands I mean, these are classic
rock bands Faces and Jeff BeckGroup, and they were stepping
stones for Rod Stewart.

(31:09):
That's the level Rod Stewartwas at.
Let me see Tina Turner Again.
I'm going to reference Hootieand the Blowfish.
She was Ike and Tina Turner.
Everybody knew that.
I'm not even going to waste mytime on this too much.

(31:32):
Dave Phillips, king of the 45s.
Phil Collins is the same leaguewith Todd Rundgren and Jeff
Lynn.
That's some pretty heavyhitters right there.
Ty Rundgren and Jeff Lin, Imean, they're not just musicians
, they are like fuckinglegendary record producers too.

(31:53):
I don't know if Phil Collins isa record producer.
These guys, they are brilliant.
I think Phil Collins is justtalented.
There's a difference.
My friend, dave Phillips, kingof the 45s.
There's a difference there.
I can't put him in the sameleague as those two, you know,

(32:14):
but I think Jeff Lynn and ToddRundgren are in the Rock and
Roll Hall of Fame too.
Not that that means anything.
Right, alright, team to turn.
I'm not going to right.
Alright, tina Turner.
I'm not going to waste any time.
We all know Fucking icon.
And that's it Robert Plant, ledZeppelin.
Now, he was not bigger than LedZeppelin.
I'm in the mood for a melody.

(32:38):
I'm in the mood for a melody.
I'm in the mood.
Robert Plant had some goodsongs.
Robert Plant had some goodsongs.
Robert Plant had some goodsongs.
As a matter of fact, let me seesomething, but his solo career,
kind of.
I'm in the mood.

(33:04):
Let's see there we go.
This is a good song.
This is a really good song.
As a matter of fact, while I'mdoing this, this is going into

(33:26):
my finally manicured playlist.
Yeah, add it to the playlist.
Thank you, audience, for makingme do that, and I know

(33:51):
everybody like, oh, you'regetting flashbacks If you grew
up in the 80s.
This song is one of those songsthat just evokes a memory.
If it doesn't, you weren'tliving in the 80s.
This evokes a feeling.
You know it does.
You know it does.

(34:20):
Yeah, that's definitely acopyright.
I'm definitely getting knockedfor that one.
Robert Plant, don't fuck around.
Yeah, all right, that's enoughof that.
That is a good song, though,glad it reminded me of this.
So Robert Plant, ledZeppelinbert plant had a good
you know what.
So he had an interesting twistto his solo career.

(34:40):
Uh, he stopped doing ledzeppelin songs, he started
singing with allison krauss andI remember I had a friend of
mine, old friend of mine, pastfriend, uh, who like oh, robert
plant's coming and we're gonnago see robert plant and he's
with allison cross, we're gonnago see robert plant and like him

(35:03):
and his girlfriend at the timeand friends, and like debbie and
I think even his mom went andthey were all like psyched to
see robert plant and he he callsme after he goes that
motherfucker didn't sing one ledzeppelin song.
No, no, he didn't, becausethat's he stopped doing.

(35:23):
That.
It's these artists.
They get to that point whereit's like that was just another
life.
Marcy, with the sms, that wasanother life, that was another
thing.
It's never.
Although Robert plant did getback with Jimmy page.

Speaker 4 (36:40):
Bye.

Speaker 2 (36:43):
That's the beautiful Dr Vera, and I do have dinner
waiting for her because that'show I roll.
That's my girl.
All right, let's see.
So Robert Plant, led ZeppelinLed Zeppelin wins.
Robert Plant had a good solocareer.
Then it kind of went on to whathe wanted to do.
The guy has enough money.
He doesn't need to keep playingfucking Black Dog.

(37:05):
Alright, what do we got atnumber one?
Drum roll, please?
No, that's right.
Paul Simon, simon and Godfather, that's a fucking runaway train
.
Yeah, that's a runaway train.
Paul Simon versus Simon andGarfunkel, although Simon and
Garfunkel, I don't know if PaulSimon ever had a bigger song

(37:26):
than Bridge Over Troubled WatersProbably not.
And that's an Art Garfunkelsong.
And maybe I bet you somewherealong the way that just rubbed
Paul Simon the wrong way, thattheir biggest hit.
He did all their hits, but thebiggest hit of all was, all
right, garfunkel.
Paul Simon was an assholeanyways, evidently I don't know

(37:51):
the guy I'm just saying.
Just saying let's see what theysay about him over here.
Let's see, there are a few duosin the history of folk rock as
iconic as the great Paul Simonand Art Garfunkel, who took the
60s by storm, as the tandemknown as Simon and Garfunkel Duh
.
Singles like Mrs Robinson, theBoxer Bridge Over Troubled Water

(38:12):
and America only begin toscratch the surface of their
notoriety.
Sadly, tensions between the twomembers led to Simon fully
embracing his solo career with aself-titled LP in 1972, after
Simon and Garfunkel split upformally in 1970.
He did have a lot of greatsongs on his own.
He did have a lot of greatsongs on his own.

(38:33):
Simon didn't lose a step on hissolo track though, embracing
sounds ranging from gospel toreggae, soul and South African
influences on albums like StillCrazy After All these Years.
Graceland I Never Got it.
If you know the show, you know,and there goes rhythm, rhyme,
and Simon Jack listens to thatshit, not me.

(38:56):
The twice-inducted Rock andRoll Hall of Fame member and
winner of 16 Grammy Awards hascontinued to ply his skillful
songwriting trade well into the21st century, even being
acknowledged in 2007 with theLibrary of Congress's inaugural
Gershwin Prize for Popular Song.
He was married to Edie Brickellfrom Edie Brickell and the New

(39:18):
Bohemians.
I don't know if they're stillmarried.
Evidently I think she beat himup.
He was trying to push heraround and she beat him up.
That story could be wrong.
Google it.
Something happened.
It was a domestic thing.
Let me scroll up here.
Let me see what was the one Iwanted to look at.
What's the next thing?
I want to look at 10 best usesof Joan Jett songs in a movie.

(39:42):
No, that's not the one.
10 classic rock bands that arestill touring today.
That was the Ugg.
10 classic rock songs that havebecome essential karaoke tunes.
Okay, let's see what this onedoes.
There we go.
How come it didn't switch over?

(40:05):
I'm looking at it right here.
Hmm.
Oh, I gotta get rid of this.
Let's get rid of this.
It has to be it's own thing.
I was going good for a minutethere.
A little technical delay Holdon one second Media Screen,

(40:29):
there we go.
Do you ever do karaoke?
Have any of you done karaoke?
I've never done it.
Would you do karaoke?
I don't know, I'd have to bedrunk and I don't drink anymore,
so I guess that's not happening.
Let's see Whenever steppinginto the mic, up to the

(40:52):
microphone, there's so manyclassic rock songs to choose
from on karaoke night.
The era classified under thedefinition was home to some of
the best records, including oneof the best-selling by the
Eagles.
Additionally, there were plentyof other bands that crafted
great albums filled with nothingbut hits.
This is part of what makes thesongs from this time period so

(41:12):
sought after, even on newer appslike Spotify.
The radio hits were not justfrom legends of that time either
.
There were many groups that hadiconic debuts.
It was a time when anything waspossible in rock and roll genre
, from musicians creating newsubgenres to laying the
foundation of how anthems arewritten.
Classic rock tunes remain someof the most influential ever.

(41:35):
This has led to them beingpassed down through generations,
ensuring that everyone in akaraoke crowd will know the
selected song.
And here we go.
Number 10, joan Jett,12-year-old boy.
Yeah, I love rock and roll.
I don't know if I could sitthrough somebody fucking singing

(41:56):
that I could barely sit throughlistening to her sing it.
I don't know.
I'm just saying I don't know ifI could sit in a karaoke bar
fucking sober and listen tosomebody scream.
I love rock and roll.
It's not really even singing,she just fucking grunts yeah

(42:18):
yeah, yeah, yeah.
Now that's a get up and leavesong.
It's moving on Don McLean,american Pie ugh, fucking ugh.
Really.
I couldn't sit through thateither.

(42:49):
I couldn't.
This is 0 for 2.
This is fucking 0 for 2 hereBecause me and Dr Vera we like
to go on cruises and RoyalCaribbean and there's always a
karaoke thing and it's alwaysfucking even during the day,
like everybody's out at the poolor they're out on the decks,
blah, blah, blah.
And you go through the promenadeand there's a karaoke thing.
It's like open, fucking 24-7 orsomething like that, and you

(43:11):
always hear fucking somebody inthere singing.
I don't know if I could sitthrough somebody singing
American Pie.
Again, I don't listen to thatsong anymore.
I couldn't sit through.
I turned the channel.
It's fucking overplayed.
Although there is a good I thinkit's on Netflix documentary
about Don McLean and headdresses at the very end.

(43:35):
He addresses this song and whatit really means and it's not
what you think it is.
It's not what you've been toldsince 1971.
It's just not.
So watch the documentary.
I forget what it's called.
It's on Don McLean.

(43:55):
I believe it's on Netflix.
If it's not, it's on Amazon,because fucking Amazon Prime has
everything.
But the song American Pie isnot what you think.
It is Still not listening to it, if I can avoid it.
Thin Lizzy, the boys are backin town.
I just this hurts and I'm noteven listening to somebody sing

(44:20):
this in karaoke and it hurts.
I hear it in my head and I'mlike that's not good.
I'm just going to move on.
I'm moving on Number seven Trogs, wild Thing.
Okay, wild Thing could beinteresting because it's an

(44:40):
unhinged song.
Wild Thing by the Trogs is anunhinged song from the beginning
.
So somebody gets up there andyou hear that intro.
I think I would actually sitback and say this is going to be

(45:00):
interesting.
I really think I would.
You know, you hear this now I'mwatching the person.
Here we go they just screamit's fucking Sam Tennyson.
Sam Tennyson, like this is anunhinged song.

(45:24):
And then you see how they getall.
How's this drunk lady gonna getall sexy right now?
Let's hear it.
Wild thing Think, I think Ilove you.

Speaker 4 (45:39):
But I want to know for sure, come on and hold me
tight.

Speaker 2 (45:49):
I love you.
Yeah, this is a winner.
This is a winner.
This is a winner.
I can see it.
I can see it.
That's a good karaoke song.
I see that I just actuallystarted karaoke-ing Fleetwood

(46:10):
Mac dreams.
Yeah, yeah, I don't know thatbetter.
Now, every once in a while yousee these videos and I don't
know if there's setups today.
You just never know what's realand what's not.
You just don't.
Uh, oh, oh, oh, todd the wetsprocket.

(46:30):
Uh, just messaged in, I do amean sweet child of mine on
karaoke.
Oh my God.
So this is the.
Get the image, people Get theimage.
Now, I don't know if you'vebeen to a karaoke bar or have
you seen a karaoke bar?
They're kind of tacky lookingfor a reason.
It's the ambiance of it and sojust say you're in there and

(46:54):
it's like the fucking lights goin and they get the tvs with the
lyrics on them and sometimesthere's two mics, sometimes
there's three mics because Idon't want to get up and do it
by myself.

Speaker 4 (47:04):
Somebody has to come with me.
Come with me, come on, comewith me then it's not fucking
karaoke I don't want to do it bymyself.
Come on, give me a microphone.
Come on, come on, come on.

Speaker 2 (47:19):
And they do so.
Just imagine this You'resitting there and you suffered
through American Pie.
You suffered through I LoveRock and Roll.
You suffered through the Boysof Back in Town Okay, the troggs
.
You're like, alright, this isokay, now we're fucking winding
up.
Now that was good.
And then you get someone comeup like Big Head Todd the

(47:40):
Witsprocket and fucking sing.
Now think you get thisred-headed Arnold Schwarzenegger
that's a vision With a fuckingsquare jaw.
His head is square pretty much.
It's a big square.
He's big square head Todd.

Speaker 3 (48:02):
Big, square, big.
I got this.
I got the image in my headSquare, square square.

Speaker 2 (48:42):
It's like an oversized ice cube.
It's a big.
It's a big square, and he's aredhead.
He's a ginger, so think likeHerman Munster.

Speaker 3 (49:05):
His hair is flat and it bends over the edge of my
head.
Okay, okay, he gets up andstarts singing sweet child, okay

(50:00):
okay, okay.

Speaker 2 (50:11):
I'm fucking sweating now.
My fucking blood pressure's up,oh shit, all right, okay, let's
get this done.
Let's get this done.
Okay, hold on, I'm going todrink some coffee.
Hold on Ice coffee All right,all right, I'm good, I'm going

(50:32):
to drink some coffee.
Hold on Iced coffee All right,all right, I'm good, I'm good.
That was pretty fucking funnyin my head.
It's all in my head, anyway.
So if somebody's going to get upand sing Dreams, like you're

(50:53):
getting one or the other, thisis an absolute dichotomy.
This is opposite sides of thespectrum.
This is one extreme to theother.
If somebody gets up to singdreams, they are either gonna
they're either gonna be fuckinglike worldclass, like where the

(51:14):
fuck did this girl come from, orshe's gonna be fucking big old
donkey balls, just just fuckingdonkey balls, that's it.
That's like I don't think.
And I'm gonna say like redheads,like redheaded girls.
If someone's singing dreams,they either make it or they

(51:35):
don't Like.
There's redheaded women,redheaded girls.
They're either pretty orthey're not, and I'm sorry, if
you're listening, if you'relistening, you're one of the
pretty ones.
I'm just saying Redheads.
There is no, she's okay.
Nope, that doesn't exist.
That doesn't exist.

(51:55):
That doesn't exist.
Just like if someone went up tokaraoke the song Dreams?
What's next?
Just when you thought itcouldn't get any worse, this
fucking song.
This is where Bob Seger fuckingjumped the shark.
Well, the movie didn't help it.

(52:19):
Old time rock and roll yeah,this is one of those let's come
up with me.

Speaker 4 (52:26):
We all sing it together.
We all sing it together nope,nope, nope.

Speaker 2 (52:34):
So far wild thing is is winning by a mile.
Queen, we will rock you.
What the who's?
What idiot, what fucking moronwould get up in a karaoke bar
and out of the fucking catalogs.
By the way, I like encyclopediabritannica, like the fucking

(52:54):
songs.
Now the book is like.
It's like you're opening up thefucking Bible and you just
point your finger.
Oh yeah, here I am.
Verse 3 oh, queen, we will rockyou.
Okay, it's a fucking mindlesssong.
It's a bad song.
It's not a good song.
It was good when I was younger.

(53:16):
As I got older, I got smarter,I got wiser and I said that's
not such a fucking good song.
No, it's just, there's nothingto it.
It's a fucking mindless song.
We will rock you.
Moving on, kansas.
Carry on, wayward son.
Fuck you.
Moving on Kansas.
Carry On Wayward Son.

(53:36):
Oh my Lord, don't they knowthere's that break in that song
Once you rose above the noiseand confusion.
How the fuck are you going tosing that Like?
Who would attempt to sing thatLike?

(53:58):
That song hits so many octave.
If you attempt to sing that,I'm going to put this song and I
do like this song, don't get mewrong.
And I like Kansas.
I don't love them, but Irespect them.
They were a part of mychildhood.
The Carry On Wayward Son Greatsong, great song Still one of
those songs.
Sometimes I listen to it,sometimes I don't, but it has

(54:21):
different verses and again thesinger hits different octave.
If you're going to sing this,it's going to be like Dreams.
It's either going to be afucking Grand Slam or fucking
Swing and a Miss Donkey Balls.
So I don't know if that's agood karaoke song.
You better fucking be confident.

(54:42):
Kiss, rock and roll all night.
Another one where you're justgonna get up there and fucking
scream the words.
I don't like this.
