Speaker 1 (00:07):
Welcome to the show. We're going to do a blind draft.
We do not know the topic we're about to be given.
The only person that knows is Mike D. Let's just
get to the topic first. So what's the topic?

Speaker 2 (00:18):
We're doing best cover songs of all time.

Speaker 3 (00:20):
Okay.

Speaker 1 (00:22):
So... As I'm talking here, everyone's thinking about it. Okay.
We were not prepped at all. And then we will
go to AI, three different AIs at the end to
see who the winner is. Now, as always, we spin
the wheel first. Best cover songs of all time. This
is good.

Speaker 4 (00:40):
But you know what?

Speaker 3 (00:41):
I'm going to go into this so different because last
time Brandon said, dude, you're picking songs that you like.
You're picking things that you like. If I take that away,
I might win this one.

Speaker 1 (00:51):
So pick songs you don't like? Yeah. Okay. I believe it. Okay.
Spin it up there, Mike. I don't want to go
first on this one. I don't want to go first.

Speaker 5 (01:04):
You are.

Speaker 1 (01:04):
It's all you. It's the first time you go first.

Speaker 4 (01:06):
Why don't you want to go first? You don't have anything?
Or you have too many?

Speaker 1 (01:10):
I've got a lot, but none of them are amazing.

Speaker 4 (01:13):
I got you.

Speaker 1 (01:14):
Okay. Best cover songs of all time will go four rounds, Mike, right?

Speaker 2 (01:19):
Four rounds. Four rounds.

Speaker 1 (01:24):
What's hard is we didn't get to prep.

Speaker 4 (01:25):
I know. We did not.

Speaker 3 (01:28):
So part of it is like while you're thinking about
it or like talking about it, you're really trying to
just get songs.

Speaker 1 (01:34):
And do I go current or do I go way back?
And with AI being able to... What's the prompt going
to say, Mike? Because that don't make a difference. Like
we're debating best cover songs of all time. I think
that's all we say, right?

Speaker 2 (01:51):
Yeah, I think so too. Because you can't really go
chart data because that'll influence it a little bit. So
just best cover songs of all time. That's what we'll
tell it.

Speaker 1 (01:58):
You might want to go back to your other strategy.

Speaker 4 (01:59):
I might.

Speaker 1 (02:00):
What you like.

Speaker 4 (02:01):
Songs that I like.

Speaker 1 (02:03):
Oh, this one's going to be so stupid. This one's
going to be so stupid, but it's coming to me
right now. Okay, I'm going to go Wagon Wheel, Darius Rucker.
That's a great one.

Speaker 4 (02:19):
That's not stupid. That's really good.

Speaker 1 (02:22):
I wish I would have thought of that. I guess
I thought it was stupid because it's just so recent.

Speaker 4 (02:27):
Doesn't matter, dude. That's a great cover.

Speaker 1 (02:30):
I think it helps that it's recent.

Speaker 4 (02:32):
And you know what's funny about your pick?

Speaker 3 (02:34):
Is the first thing when Mike read the topic, I'm
thinking like, okay, artists that get covered a lot.

Speaker 4 (02:38):
Bob Dylan. That's really where my mind went immediately. So
I'm next, Mike?

Speaker 2 (02:45):
You're next.

Speaker 3 (02:45):
I'm going to pick Bob Dylan. I'm going to pick
actually a Bob Dylan song, but covered by Jimi Hendrix.
All on Watchtower.

Speaker 4 (02:53):
Wow.

Speaker 1 (02:54):
And see, this is going to be an AI interpretation. Oh, shoot. Okay,
keep talking. Keep talking.

Speaker 4 (03:00):
No, you said, oh, shoot, and you grabbed your head.

Speaker 1 (03:02):
No, I'm sorry. I'm thinking. You guys talk about what
you're talking about.

Speaker 5 (03:06):
I can't.

Speaker 4 (03:06):
Dude, your pick is great.

Speaker 1 (03:07):
But see, if yours is classic rock and yours has
had all these years. How is AI going to read it?
To have significance. I think that's a better pick. Mine
was on the chart like four years ago.

Speaker 4 (03:18):
Oh, Mike, and I think it's Jimi Hendrix all on
the watchtower.

Speaker 1 (03:21):
Jimi Hendrix?

Speaker 4 (03:22):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (03:25):
Brandon's now, are you changing? Your strategy? No, no, no, no.
There was one. There was another Bob Dylan song that
I was trying to think of.

Speaker 6 (03:34):
I know.

Speaker 1 (03:34):
I can tell you what it is.

Speaker 4 (03:35):
Don't tell him.

Speaker 1 (03:36):
Well, I'm not going to pick another Bob Dylan song.

Speaker 4 (03:37):
Why not?

Speaker 1 (03:38):
So I could tell him. No, don't tell me. Don't
tell me. It's fine because he might want it.

Speaker 4 (03:42):
We could totally use that one.

Speaker 1 (03:45):
I'm not picking all Bob Dylan songs.

Speaker 2 (03:46):
I'm out.

Speaker 1 (03:46):
I'm out of Bob Dylan songs.

Speaker 4 (03:47):
You're done with Bob Dylan?

Speaker 1 (03:48):
Yeah, I got one more that's good.

Speaker 5 (03:49):
You guys are going to make fun of me so
hard for this, but I just can't think of anything
else right now.

Speaker 4 (03:54):
Is it a song you like?

Speaker 1 (03:54):
Yeah. Yeah. I bet it's the one that I was
thinking about. Is it Goofy?

Speaker 5 (04:00):
It just depends on what you think is Goofy. Okay.

Speaker 1 (04:06):
Okay.

Speaker 4 (04:07):
Well, I think Goofy is Goofy, but yeah.

Speaker 1 (04:10):
I'm going to pick Turn the Page by Metallica. Oh, yeah.
Bob Seger cover. That's the only one I can think
of right now. Here I am. Yeah, yeah, yeah.

Speaker 4 (04:22):
On the road again.

Speaker 2 (04:23):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (04:24):
Dang, this is kind of a struggle first pick, huh?

Speaker 5 (04:27):
Uh-huh.

Speaker 1 (04:27):
I'm not trying to be a hater. No.

Speaker 4 (04:30):
Because I feel like ours were pretty solid. Like big songs.

Speaker 1 (04:33):
I feel like mine was a little goofy at first. No,
yours is like.

Speaker 4 (04:36):
No, it's good.

Speaker 1 (04:37):
A plus.

Speaker 4 (04:38):
Metallica though, was that like a single?

Speaker 5 (04:40):
It was a single and it was on their Garage Inc. album,
which was all covers. So I might pick all Metallica covers.

Speaker 1 (04:47):
From that album. Eddie's going all Bob Dylan covers. Brandon's
going all Metallica covers. See, my second one is so
stupid too. No, it's not. You're... Because the band is
not respected.

Speaker 4 (05:02):
Oh, you're going Savage Garden?

Speaker 1 (05:05):
Truly Madly Deeply was not a cover.

Speaker 4 (05:06):
It's all original. Oh, interesting. Not respected band. Oh, Nickelback.
Good one.

Speaker 1 (05:15):
But I don't think they had a cover that was-
No covers? Well, I mean, maybe something, but- I'm like,
what did Creed cover? Oh my gosh.

Speaker 4 (05:22):
I just thought of a great one. I wonder if
that's what you're thinking of.

Speaker 3 (05:28):
But I feel like the band that I'm thinking of
is respected in their certain avenues.

Speaker 1 (05:33):
Mine definitely is not.

Speaker 4 (05:34):
Okay.

Speaker 1 (05:37):
I'm going to go Smash Mouth, I'm a Believer. Interesting.

Speaker 5 (05:43):
Whoa.

Speaker 4 (05:44):
Dude, that's a good pick.

Speaker 1 (05:45):
Because it's Shrek and it's Smash Mouth. Yeah. Yeah.

Speaker 4 (05:49):
But it played at the end of Shrek.

Speaker 3 (05:50):
I mean, that was the big one.

Speaker 1 (05:54):
That's the song.

Speaker 4 (05:55):
Yeah, dude, that's good.

Speaker 1 (05:58):
Is it good?

Speaker 4 (05:59):
I think it's good.

Speaker 1 (06:00):
That's better than mine. I don't know if it was
that number one song or anything. My point here is
with my two songs, I think to Gen Pop, they're
not going to know their covers. Great point. I think
people think Smash Mouth is the singer. of I'm a
Believer and not the Monkees. You're right. And I think

(06:22):
for a lot of country music fans, Wagon Wheel is
Darius Ruckers because Old Crow Medicine Show is the only
one to actually record it. It was written partially by
Bob Dylan and then Catch finished the song. But as
much as it's a Bob Dylan song, it wasn't. It
was never put out. It was never finished. Right. It
was Old Crow. A demo. Yeah. So I got Smash Mouth,

(06:44):
I'm a Believer.

Speaker 3 (06:47):
Man, I thought you were going with a completely different band.

Speaker 1 (06:51):
Another disrespected band?

Speaker 3 (06:53):
But kind of disrespected, but respected in their own, you know,
their own genre, I guess, or whatever.

Speaker 4 (07:01):
Their own style. But I'm going to go with a
cover of George Michael. George Michael's?

Speaker 1 (07:10):
George Michael. Oh, I know exactly what you're going to say.
Limp Bizkit.

Speaker 4 (07:13):
Limp Bizkit.

Speaker 1 (07:14):
Good one. That's a good one. I love that song.
And is that the band you're talking about? Yes.

Speaker 6 (07:20):
Yeah.

Speaker 4 (07:21):
Because I first went Nickelback. You're right.

Speaker 3 (07:23):
Nickelback doesn't have any covers that were big. So then
I went straight to Limp Bizkit.

Speaker 1 (07:29):
I like that pick. That's a cool pick. For me
in college, when that video launched on MTV, I thought
it was the coolest thing I'd ever seen before. Because
it's like back behind the scenes footage, they're in between
buses and It's a cool, you know, I guess it
would be nice. But then when the chorus hits, God dang.

Speaker 4 (07:48):
That's it. That was it for me. It's like, oh, cool.
It's a cool cover.

Speaker 3 (07:52):
They kind of made it still sound the same with
a guitar.

Speaker 4 (07:55):
And then he goes, and I'm like, oh man, Limp
Bizkit just made it their own right there.

Speaker 1 (08:01):
And for everybody that's watching this or listening to this,
just know, We didn't know the category before we're going.
So at the end, we'll go through the ones that
we missed. And when we go through the ones that
we missed, we're always like, we're so stupid. How did
we forget that? I don't hate it.

Speaker 4 (08:18):
I don't hate it. I feel good about it.

Speaker 1 (08:20):
Brandon, you have Metallica. Turn the page.

Speaker 4 (08:22):
Brandon, you need a big one.

Speaker 1 (08:23):
You need a big one.

Speaker 4 (08:24):
Here, Brandon.

Speaker 1 (08:24):
I have an even worse one. Oh, man.

Speaker 4 (08:28):
I wouldn't go with that one.

Speaker 1 (08:29):
How do you have a worse one?

Speaker 5 (08:31):
Oh, this isn't a worse one. Um, Okay, I'm going
to go with this one. Make fun of me. My
wife is going to make fun of me so hard. Dude, relax.

Speaker 1 (08:39):
We're not going to make fun of you. There's no pressure.
Peace of my heart, Faith Hill, her cover of Janis Joplin.
That's pretty good. I don't know. Take it. Take another
little peek.

Speaker 5 (08:50):
Take it.

Speaker 1 (08:52):
It's not.

Speaker 3 (08:53):
Why would we make fun of you for that?

Speaker 4 (08:56):
It's not a good pick.

Speaker 5 (08:57):
Janis Joplin is like, some people say Faith Hill ruined
that song.

Speaker 1 (09:03):
Who are those some people?

Speaker 4 (09:03):
Yeah, who says that?

Speaker 1 (09:04):
I don't say that.

Speaker 4 (09:05):
Name them by name.

Speaker 1 (09:06):
And I think a lot of people don't know that
Faith Hill is not the singer of Peace in My Heart.
That's true. Thanks, guys. You guys are just so good
at this game.

Speaker 4 (09:15):
No, we're not, dude.

Speaker 3 (09:18):
And I feel like really good about my two picks,
but I could easily mess this up.

Speaker 1 (09:23):
I think generally speaking, we should go to five.

Speaker 5 (09:26):
Okay.

Speaker 1 (09:27):
Because it gets really hard. It really gets hard.

Speaker 4 (09:30):
It's already hard.

Speaker 3 (09:30):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (09:31):
I think we should go five, just as a general
rule now, unless we bring on a fourth at some point.
I've got to think of three more.

Speaker 4 (09:36):
Jeez. Yeah, it's going to be tough. It's going to
be tough.

Speaker 1 (09:42):
Have Darius Rucker wagon wheel and smash mouth. I'm a believer.
I feel like I need something that the critics love.

Speaker 5 (09:48):
Ooh.

Speaker 1 (09:48):
Because those were like chart toppers. Yeah. That were played
all over the radio. I need something that's... Like, I
have one. It is so corny, too. All mine are
just cornball. I have Metallica Turn the Page. But that's cool.

Speaker 4 (10:03):
That's your first pick.

Speaker 1 (10:05):
That's my first pick. Did you see they're doing The Sphere,
and they continue to sell it out more and more
and more, and they're adding more and more shows?

Speaker 4 (10:12):
How do they have.

Speaker 3 (10:12):
How's the calendar big enough for all the bands that
want to do The Sphere?

Speaker 4 (10:16):
Because there are residencies, right?

Speaker 6 (10:18):
Yes.

Speaker 1 (10:18):
Yes. But who else has played the sphere? Kenny.

Speaker 4 (10:23):
The Eagles.

Speaker 1 (10:25):
U2. U2. What's the jam band? Not Fish, but Widespread Panic.
Do they do it? Or did Fish do it?

Speaker 2 (10:30):
I thought it was Fish.

Speaker 4 (10:31):
I think it was Fish.

Speaker 1 (10:32):
Fish. And then also, didn't Dead & Company do it?
No doubt.

Speaker 2 (10:35):
No doubt.

Speaker 4 (10:35):
Zach Brown Band.

Speaker 2 (10:37):
Seven.

Speaker 1 (10:38):
Now we're drafting people that play the sphere. That's a
good one. I don't think any of us have ever been, though. No.
I've never been, no. Don't forget The Wizard of Oz. Oh,
and they showed that movie?

Speaker 4 (10:47):
That's cool.

Speaker 5 (10:47):
Yeah. Okay.

Speaker 2 (10:48):
Okay.

Speaker 1 (10:53):
How about, see, I'm going to pick one and it's
going to be too cool because a little bit I'm
pandering to AI because I'd like to have. Like, AI go,
you're cool. You're number one. I like that gold medal
when it pops up.

Speaker 2 (11:11):
That is pretty cool.

Speaker 1 (11:12):
That's really cool.

Speaker 3 (11:12):
And then the average, I mean, just throughout all three,
the ones that we do. But you don't know how
AI is going to score this.

Speaker 1 (11:18):
Well, Eddie's never felt the medal. He's never felt the
gold medal.

Speaker 4 (11:21):
I've felt the bronze one.

Speaker 1 (11:21):
Oh, you've never won.

Speaker 4 (11:22):
No. And I've had one silver, I think.

Speaker 1 (11:25):
Okay. Yeah. Elvis, Blitz, Wade, Shoes, Carl Perkins. Okay. That's
a good one.

Speaker 4 (11:33):
That's so stupid. Literally, my next one was Elvis.

Speaker 1 (11:36):
Was it Blue Suede Shoes?

Speaker 4 (11:36):
No, it wasn't. But now I don't want to pick
an Elvis.

Speaker 1 (11:39):
Should we implement the rule that you can't pick the
same artist right after? Yes.

Speaker 4 (11:43):
I think that's a good rule.

Speaker 3 (11:44):
And I think I kind of did it with Bob Dylan.

Speaker 4 (11:47):
But from here on out, let's not do that.

Speaker 2 (11:49):
Fair enough.

Speaker 1 (11:50):
We don't have to. I just thought.

Speaker 4 (11:52):
Yeah, it's a cop out.

Speaker 1 (11:54):
Should we eliminate the artist completely once they're picked? Oh,
I don't know about that. That really cuts it down.
That's tough.

Speaker 5 (12:01):
That would have been horrible on the last one when
we did Taylor Swift all over the place.

Speaker 3 (12:06):
Yeah, yeah.

Speaker 4 (12:06):
That would have been bad. I feel like we have
to do that for the next game. Okay. Since we've already.

Speaker 1 (12:09):
Right, because you must have something in your pocket. No, no, no.

Speaker 4 (12:12):
Because I've already done it. I've already done it.

Speaker 1 (12:13):
That's okay. What about from now on you can't pick
anybody on the board?

Speaker 5 (12:16):
Okay. Okay.

Speaker 4 (12:18):
That's going to make it really hard, but okay.

Speaker 1 (12:19):
So Metallica's out, guys.

Speaker 4 (12:21):
Okay, so just so you know. So I was going
to do Elvis Hound Dog.

Speaker 1 (12:25):
I was thinking between Hound Dog and.

Speaker 2 (12:26):
Blue Suede Shoes.

Speaker 3 (12:28):
And I think Hound Dog is Big Mama Thornton.

Speaker 1 (12:30):
Big Mama Thornton.

Speaker 4 (12:31):
Can you– I can't do Elvis anymore.

Speaker 1 (12:34):
I picked Carl Perkins' Blue Suede Shoes. I feel like
that was– A little more known.

Speaker 4 (12:37):
Yeah, it's a big one.

Speaker 1 (12:38):
His version of it. Because Elvis would just steal songs.
Let's not get twisted here. It's not even a cover.
Elvis would just steal them. That's fun. Yeah.

Speaker 4 (12:46):
And we're not sure if it was Elvis or the Colonel,
but somebody was stealing.

Speaker 1 (12:49):
They now own them. So, unfairly. Okay. Eddie, you have
Jimi Hendrix and Limp Bizkit Faith.

Speaker 4 (12:55):
Okay.

Speaker 3 (12:55):
Since I can't do Elvis, that's gone. I did have
something else in mind. And I think I should go
with it. It's in the country realm.

Speaker 1 (13:05):
And it is.

Speaker 4 (13:07):
The Chicks doing Landslide.

Speaker 1 (13:10):
Good one.

Speaker 4 (13:11):
I love the version. I love it. But I don't
know if it's– That's good.

Speaker 1 (13:14):
Was it a big– That was a huge song.

Speaker 4 (13:16):
Okay, good. All right.

Speaker 1 (13:19):
I'll take his word for it. I don't know if
it was actually like a chart song.

Speaker 2 (13:23):
It was.

Speaker 5 (13:25):
Dan Wilson actually talked about it on a podcast called
The Bobbycast.

Speaker 4 (13:29):
Dan Wilson from.

Speaker 1 (13:30):
Simsonic.

Speaker 4 (13:31):
Simsonic.

Speaker 1 (13:31):
He wrote it. I mean, no. He wrote... He wrote Landslide?

Speaker 5 (13:34):
He wrote Not Ready to Make Nice, but he talked
about how Landslide was a massive song.

Speaker 1 (13:39):
I'll check out that episode. Yeah. Sounds like a good show.
We've done like 700 of these, man.

Speaker 4 (13:45):
I get it, yeah.

Speaker 1 (13:47):
Hang tight.

Speaker 6 (13:47):
The Bobbycast will be right back. And we're back on
the Bobbycast.

Speaker 1 (14:03):
Okay, Brandon, you have Metallica, Turn the Page. Don't remind me.
And Faith Hill, Peace of My Heart. What's your next cover?
I'm going to go with Clint Black, Desperado. Oh, gosh.
Is that a good pick? It is. Okay, I love
Clint Black. Nothing, I'm just.

Speaker 4 (14:23):
So, are we eliminating the original artist?

Speaker 6 (14:27):
No.

Speaker 4 (14:28):
Or just the artist that covered?

Speaker 1 (14:29):
No, just the artist that covered. So if the Eagles
covered something, you can have it.

Speaker 4 (14:34):
Right, but if somebody else covered another Eagles song, we
can have that too?

Speaker 1 (14:37):
Yeah, because all you're eliminating is who you have up
there on the board. Got it. So we're good.

Speaker 4 (14:41):
So even my first pick's good.

Speaker 1 (14:43):
Oh, wait.

Speaker 4 (14:43):
Since you have Darius and I have Jimmy.

Speaker 1 (14:45):
Right. Yeah, I don't know. We make these rules up
as we go. I don't know that we're committed to anything.
You're good.

Speaker 5 (14:51):
Okay.

Speaker 6 (14:51):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (14:51):
So you're going to do another Bob Dylan song? Possibly.

Speaker 3 (14:54):
But that would be a completely different band covering it.

Speaker 1 (14:58):
Oh, man, that was not who I thought you were
going with.

Speaker 4 (15:00):
Well, artist. That's what I meant, artist. Now I don't
want to do it.

Speaker 1 (15:04):
What Bob Dylan song did Metallica cover?

Speaker 4 (15:07):
Because I have.

Speaker 1 (15:09):
A Bob Dylan song in my mind, too. It's a
really great one. I know.

Speaker 4 (15:13):
And I think it's the same one.

Speaker 1 (15:15):
I've been trying to think of it this whole time.
And when you say it, I'm just going to.

Speaker 4 (15:18):
You should do it then.

Speaker 1 (15:19):
I'm not going to pick it. Well, you can if
you want it.

Speaker 4 (15:21):
I don't believe you. Are you next?

Speaker 5 (15:24):
Yeah.

Speaker 4 (15:25):
Just pick it right here. It's a good spot to
pick it.

Speaker 1 (15:29):
A little bit of me is leaning toward a little
something from Alien Ant Farm, Smooth Criminal, because that was
a really cool one. Oh, my gosh.

Speaker 4 (15:35):
That's a good one. If you don't pick it, I'm
taking it.

Speaker 1 (15:37):
I'm so mad at myself. No, you're not.

Speaker 4 (15:39):
Why wouldn't I? That's a good one.

Speaker 1 (15:42):
Is that another rule if somebody mentions something?

Speaker 4 (15:45):
No, because you can't.

Speaker 1 (15:46):
That's on you. I just mentioned like 11 of them,
so you guys can't hear. What about this one? This one?

Speaker 6 (15:50):
This one.

Speaker 5 (15:51):
Huh.

Speaker 1 (15:52):
I was kind of just floating that out to see
how you guys would react to it.

Speaker 4 (15:55):
Dude, that's such a good one.

Speaker 1 (15:57):
It's such a good one.

Speaker 4 (15:57):
I don't want you to take it because I want it.

Speaker 1 (15:59):
Or are you just playing me right now?

Speaker 4 (16:01):
No, I think it's great. I think that's really good.

Speaker 1 (16:04):
Did you guys think of that one at all?

Speaker 5 (16:05):
No.

Speaker 1 (16:05):
No. No, not at all. So if I don't take,
you're telling me right now, if I don't take Alien
Ant Farms, Smooth Criminal, a cover of Michael Jackson, you're
going to take it? Yes.

Speaker 4 (16:15):
Right after you. I will take it.

Speaker 1 (16:18):
And if he doesn't take it, I'm taking it. No, no, no.

Speaker 4 (16:20):
No problem taking it.

Speaker 1 (16:22):
It's that good. That gets your clout, man.

Speaker 4 (16:25):
Yeah, man.

Speaker 1 (16:26):
That's your clout pick. My clout's Elvis Blu's white shoes.

Speaker 3 (16:29):
And diversity, too. Just, like, different kinds of music.

Speaker 1 (16:32):
Right? They were a one-hit wonder.

Speaker 4 (16:34):
The Whalien Ant Farm? They were?

Speaker 1 (16:35):
With that song. With Smooth Criminal.

Speaker 4 (16:37):
They didn't have anything else?

Speaker 1 (16:38):
I mean, they had a couple. They had Billie Jean. Yeah.

Speaker 4 (16:42):
They did all Michael Jackson.

Speaker 2 (16:43):
Thriller.

Speaker 1 (16:43):
Thriller. I was kind of kidding with Alien Ant Farm.
It was kind of a balloon. I was just floating over.

Speaker 4 (16:53):
It's too good, dude.

Speaker 1 (16:54):
It's too good.

Speaker 4 (16:56):
And now we have to come up with five. Don't
let it go.

Speaker 1 (16:59):
I have like nine in my head.

Speaker 4 (17:00):
Oh, you do?

Speaker 1 (17:01):
Yeah, but all of them are stupid.

Speaker 3 (17:02):
Good.

Speaker 1 (17:03):
Huh.

Speaker 2 (17:05):
Hmm.

Speaker 1 (17:09):
Because I have.
The Bob Dylan song you're thinking of, I'm not thinking of.
Yours is a band. Mine's not.

Speaker 4 (17:15):
No, no, no. Mine's an artist.

Speaker 6 (17:16):
Oh, it is?

Speaker 1 (17:17):
Yes.

Speaker 4 (17:17):
I guarantee you it's the same song.

Speaker 1 (17:20):
It's not because I have two in my head.

Speaker 3 (17:23):
I'm willing to put $ 10 on it that it's the
same song. But that won't work because you can easily
change it for $ 10. Do you want $ 10 that bad?

Speaker 4 (17:30):
Yeah, yeah.

Speaker 1 (17:33):
Yeah. I said it, so I have to go with it.
I'll go Alien Ant Farm, Smooth Criminal.

Speaker 4 (17:39):
God.

Speaker 1 (17:40):
This looks like the weirdest playlist ever.

Speaker 4 (17:43):
It almost looks like my playlist.

Speaker 1 (17:44):
Like when you go down the whole thing. That was
kind of a jam though.

Speaker 4 (17:51):
I thought it was great.

Speaker 1 (17:53):
Did you guys like that pick or are you messing
with me? It was great. Great pick. Okay.

Speaker 4 (17:58):
Great pick.

Speaker 1 (17:58):
Are you really?

Speaker 4 (17:58):
You're doubting that?

Speaker 1 (18:00):
Oh yeah.

Speaker 4 (18:01):
No, I wouldn't doubt it.

Speaker 1 (18:01):
Cause I got a bunch else in my head. Eddie,
you got Jimi Hendrix, All Along the Watchtower, Limp Bizkit, Faith,
The Chick's Landslide. That's a good list, Eddie.

Speaker 3 (18:15):
I might go backwards with this pick, but I'm having
a hard time coming up with songs.

Speaker 1 (18:20):
Coldplay? Hello?

Speaker 4 (18:22):
Did they cover something?

Speaker 1 (18:24):
It doesn't matter.

Speaker 4 (18:26):
No, I'm going to go with Van Halen, You Really
Got Me.

Speaker 1 (18:32):
I remember it, yeah. I just am so not a
Van Halen fan. That one doesn't hit me at all.
I was trying to think of that. Yeah.

Speaker 4 (18:39):
But you know what? I think AI is going to
like that one.

Speaker 1 (18:41):
Yeah. I do, too.

Speaker 4 (18:43):
I think AI likes Van Halen. Is that the Kinks?
I believe so. It's the Kinks.

Speaker 1 (18:48):
Is the rule you also have to know who's being covered?

Speaker 4 (18:50):
No, don't do that. There's no way. Because I don't
even know if that's the Kinks. It might not be.

Speaker 1 (18:55):
We don't have to make that rule now, but.

Speaker 2 (18:57):
It is the Kinks.

Speaker 4 (18:59):
Let's make the rule then.

Speaker 1 (19:01):
But he said it. He was like, is that the Kinks?

Speaker 4 (19:03):
Yeah, he did say it.

Speaker 5 (19:05):
Brandon. I hate to keep it country, but Chris Stapleton,
Tennessee Whiskey.

Speaker 1 (19:13):
That's a great one. That is such a great one.
Did you guys think of that one? Never.

Speaker 4 (19:17):
Wait, is this the second time he's picked?

Speaker 1 (19:18):
Yeah, I picked it in the last game. I mean,
he's 16 picks in and gets Tennessee Whiskey. Are we
not allowed to pick? That's the Tom Brady late value
draft pick.

Speaker 4 (19:26):
You're right. It's Brock Purdy.

Speaker 1 (19:30):
That's a great pick.

Speaker 5 (19:31):
A Mr.

Speaker 1 (19:31):
Irrelevant. Yeah, you're right.

Speaker 4 (19:33):
Because, man, Metallica.

Speaker 1 (19:36):
Metallica's version of Tennessee Whiskey was horrible. I know I'm
up next, but I'm happy to not go next and
go last and then talk all mine out.

Speaker 4 (19:47):
I mean, that'd be kind of fun.

Speaker 1 (19:48):
I need time. It's not.

Speaker 4 (19:50):
But you could talk it all out after we're all done.

Speaker 1 (19:54):
Yeah.

Speaker 4 (19:54):
Okay.

Speaker 1 (19:55):
I was just going to give you guys like a
little bit of an advantage to go next in case
you wanted to cut one out on me. I have nothing.

Speaker 5 (20:01):
Yeah.

Speaker 4 (20:02):
I've got one. And if you take it, I'm screwed.

Speaker 1 (20:04):
Why don't you take the one? No, no, no. You're up.

Speaker 4 (20:06):
You're up. Please be my guest.

Speaker 1 (20:12):
I just kind of want to talk through my thought process.

Speaker 4 (20:15):
You could totally do that if you want.

Speaker 1 (20:16):
I know, but then you'll steal them.

Speaker 4 (20:17):
Dude, this is a free room. Do whatever you feel.
No judgment.

Speaker 1 (20:28):
Okay, so one's a pop song.

Speaker 4 (20:30):
Okay, what's the name of that song?

Speaker 1 (20:35):
One is an 80s rock song.

Speaker 4 (20:41):
No, dude, I already picked Van Halen.

Speaker 3 (20:42):
You really got me.

Speaker 1 (20:43):
This one's better than that.

Speaker 4 (20:44):
It is? Yeah.

Speaker 5 (20:49):
Oh.

Speaker 1 (20:49):
And then one's a ballad from probably like the early 2000s.

Speaker 4 (20:53):
Man, we may not be thinking about the same Bob
Dylan song.

Speaker 1 (21:03):
I just thought of a good one.

Speaker 5 (21:04):
You did?

Speaker 1 (21:04):
Yeah. Oh, Tennessee Whiskey is so money.

Speaker 4 (21:07):
Dude, you can come back and win this. No.

Speaker 1 (21:09):
How do you come back from a talent tour? Dude,
you're like Argentina.

Speaker 4 (21:13):
Score two goals in the last five minutes.

Speaker 1 (21:15):
Just crush. Okay. Oh, man. With my final pick. What
if two artists cover it? That's fine. Yeah.

Speaker 4 (21:31):
I mean, then you pick one artist.

Speaker 1 (21:33):
I have to pick one of the covers? Yes.

Speaker 4 (21:35):
I can't do.

Speaker 1 (21:36):
Both of them.

Speaker 4 (21:37):
Go ahead. Do the Bob Dylan song.

Speaker 1 (21:41):
Is that what you.

Speaker 4 (21:41):
Do it. So you know that one.

Speaker 1 (21:45):
Are we going to do that one? If I don't
do it, are you going to do it?

Speaker 4 (21:49):
Possibly. But that's interesting. Can we do the same song
with the two different artists?

Speaker 1 (21:53):
Yeah, you could. Do you know what we're talking about, Brandon?

Speaker 4 (21:55):
I think that's what he's been trying to come up with.

Speaker 1 (21:58):
What we're talking about is to make you feel my love.

Speaker 5 (22:01):
Whoa!

Speaker 4 (22:01):
Why would you do that?

Speaker 1 (22:03):
Well, because if I don't take it and you do,
he's going to take it. Nah, same song.

Speaker 4 (22:10):
Okay, so you can't take somebody else's song.

Speaker 1 (22:12):
Which artist?

Speaker 4 (22:14):
Yeah, that's what I'm saying.

Speaker 1 (22:15):
I'm not picking the song, so you can have it.
The song's dead after you take it. Dude, I've literally
been trying to think of that this whole time. Thank
you for saying that. And if you want it, take it.
And if not, we'll just pass it on down. Hand
me down to Brandon. Okay. Because I have a couple.
The other one I have another Bob Dylan song. Lay
Lady Lay.

Speaker 4 (22:38):
Yeah, I have another one too.

Speaker 1 (22:40):
From the 80s?

Speaker 6 (22:42):
Yes.

Speaker 4 (22:43):
When you said 80s.

Speaker 1 (22:44):
Did that put you on it?

Speaker 4 (22:45):
I knew exactly what you were talking about. I think
that would be good because that was big.

Speaker 1 (22:52):
There's also songs like when Britney Spears did I saw
you standing there by the record machine. What's that? I
know you must have been about 17. She covered Joan Jett.

Speaker 4 (23:09):
Oh, Joan Jett.

Speaker 1 (23:11):
I love rock and roll.

Speaker 4 (23:12):
I love rock and roll.

Speaker 1 (23:13):
I love rock and roll. Like, that's a funny cover.
Where did she cover that? Probably early 2000s. Was that
on a movie? Yeah, maybe so. Maybe so. Oh, Crossroads.

Speaker 2 (23:24):
That was a good movie.

Speaker 5 (23:25):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (23:26):
Okay, for my last pick, I'm going to go Uncle
Cracker Drift Away. Whoa. It was a Dobie Gray song.
Dobie Gray. Give me the beat, boy. Free my soul.
Want to get lost in your rock and roll. What's
that look about?

Speaker 4 (23:41):
Because that just opened up so many other ones that
I just thought of.

Speaker 5 (23:44):
Oh.

Speaker 1 (23:47):
Wow.

Speaker 4 (23:47):
Okay.

Speaker 5 (23:48):
Wow.

Speaker 4 (23:48):
It's a good pick.

Speaker 3 (23:50):
Gosh, I only had like a couple and now I'm like,
I got maybe four that I just thought of.

Speaker 1 (23:56):
That opened the old. Yeah, it did. The old noggin?

Speaker 4 (24:00):
It did, because there's some like, man, I don't even
want to talk about it.

Speaker 1 (24:03):
Well, there's only one person behind you, but yeah. I know,
I know.

Speaker 3 (24:05):
I don't even want to give them anything, because do
you have anything in mind?

Speaker 1 (24:07):
I have like two weird ones.

Speaker 4 (24:09):
See, I like that.

Speaker 1 (24:10):
You know like Weird Al Eat It doesn't count, right? Oh, man.

Speaker 4 (24:15):
That's a parody.

Speaker 1 (24:15):
These parodies are out? Jeez. Okay.

Speaker 4 (24:18):
Do I go back to the Bob Dylan well?

Speaker 1 (24:20):
Can't do Amish Paradise.

Speaker 4 (24:22):
Or do I go do something new, like something just... Yeah.

Speaker 1 (24:30):
Since I'm done, will you text me the prompt that
you're going to put in so I can put it in?
Because we're going to do ChatGPT, Claude, and then what's
the other one you do, Mike?

Speaker 4 (24:37):
Gemini. Gemini.

Speaker 1 (24:38):
Gemini, yeah.

Speaker 4 (24:39):
Okay. I think this is a strong one. I'm going
to do The Black Crows, Hard to Handle.

Speaker 1 (24:47):
Really good one. Pretty good.

Speaker 4 (24:48):
I'm going to nod this around, this around. And a nap.

Speaker 1 (24:52):
Because the original artist was.

Speaker 4 (24:54):
Otis Redding?

Speaker 1 (24:55):
Yeah. Boom.

Speaker 4 (24:56):
Let's go. I feel good about that. Gosh, dude, we
didn't do the Bob Dylan song.

Speaker 1 (25:01):
Well, Brandon's still there. He may know that one. Here's
a question. If I can't name the original artist... You.

Speaker 4 (25:12):
Can't do it?

Speaker 1 (25:12):
Can't do it? Dang it!

Speaker 4 (25:14):
But for the last two, Bobby's been naming mine, so.
Maybe he'll do you a solid.

Speaker 5 (25:21):
Man, this isn't the one I want to go with
because I don't know the original artist of the other one.

Speaker 1 (25:27):
But.

Speaker 5 (25:29):
You guys would have no idea what this is. But
Boys of Summer by the Ataris.

Speaker 4 (25:35):
That's great, dude.

Speaker 1 (25:36):
Originally done by Don Henley.

Speaker 4 (25:38):
That's a really good pick.

Speaker 1 (25:38):
Can I tell you what my other one was? Is
that what you're picking there? That's what I'm picking. Okay,
let's put it down. That's a good one.

Speaker 4 (25:44):
That's a great cover.

Speaker 2 (25:45):
I like that song.

Speaker 1 (25:47):
What was your other one? Tiffany, I Think We're Alone Now.

Speaker 4 (25:51):
Who did that?

Speaker 1 (25:51):
I don't know.

Speaker 4 (25:52):
Oh, Tiffany Covered?

Speaker 1 (25:54):
Yeah, that's a cover.

Speaker 4 (25:54):
Oh, I didn't know that.

Speaker 1 (25:55):
There's a 50s song. Stephanie Tanner, I think we're alone now.
She's covering Tiffany. On Full House, covering Tiffany. Oh, can
I do that one?

Speaker 4 (26:03):
That's funny.

Speaker 1 (26:04):
The other one was obviously... To Make You Feel My Love. No,
we already said that one. The other Bob Dylan one.

Speaker 4 (26:10):
Well, you didn't do it.

Speaker 1 (26:11):
We didn't do To Make You Feel My Love. What
artist would you pick?

Speaker 4 (26:14):
Knock on Heaven's Door.

Speaker 2 (26:15):
Yes.

Speaker 4 (26:16):
Guns N' Roses.

Speaker 1 (26:17):
Dude, good.

Speaker 4 (26:18):
That would have been so good.

Speaker 1 (26:18):
Those were the two that I was on my list
when I said one was.

Speaker 2 (26:22):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (26:23):
Okay.

Speaker 4 (26:24):
What else were you– can we do that now or
do you want to do the score?

Speaker 5 (26:27):
Can I ask what artist you would have had to
do to make you feel my love?

Speaker 1 (26:31):
Garth Brooks.

Speaker 4 (26:32):
Adele.

Speaker 1 (26:32):
Adele. I was going to pick Adele. I would have
picked Garth because it was on Hope Floats.

Speaker 2 (26:36):
The movie.

Speaker 1 (26:37):
That's true. But I don't know which one did better.
It was probably Garth.

Speaker 4 (26:41):
Okay.

Speaker 1 (26:41):
Let me take a picture of all of these.

Speaker 4 (26:43):
So you can just take a picture and send it
to AI and it reads the picture?

Speaker 1 (26:48):
Yeah.

Speaker 4 (26:50):
That's smart.

Speaker 1 (26:50):
What's up, 2022?

Speaker 5 (26:51):
Yeah.

Speaker 4 (26:53):
That's pretty smart of AI.

Speaker 1 (26:55):
Okay, I'm going to hit play, and then it's going
to do its work, but I'll turn my phone down
so I won't see it. Mike, let me know when
you're all the way in.

Speaker 2 (27:04):
Loading it up right now.

Speaker 4 (27:05):
How do you feel?

Speaker 1 (27:07):
I feel fine. I feel like Smash Mouth, I'm a believer.
And Knuckle Cracker, I don't know if it matters, but
it's with a K. Hopefully AI doesn't.

Speaker 4 (27:15):
Good call. And then Jimi Hendrix is with just J-I-M-I.

Speaker 1 (27:18):
Hopefully it's not going to hold our spelling against us.

Speaker 4 (27:20):
All right.

Speaker 1 (27:21):
Are there any other covers? Because, like, Alan Jackson, Summertime Blues,
and Alan Jackson.

Speaker 5 (27:25):
That's a good one. That came across my mind. I
don't know why I didn't say it.

Speaker 4 (27:30):
Eddie Cochran?

Speaker 5 (27:31):
Yep.

Speaker 4 (27:31):
They're right?

Speaker 1 (27:33):
His version is so good.

Speaker 4 (27:34):
Oh, my gosh.

Speaker 1 (27:34):
My Maria.

Speaker 4 (27:36):
Brooks and Dunn would have been so good. Oh, but
I don't know. Was it Los Lonely Boys?

Speaker 1 (27:41):
No, no, no, no. Los Lobos?

Speaker 4 (27:46):
Nah.

Speaker 1 (27:46):
Okay. Boots, Scoot, and Boogie?

Speaker 4 (27:48):
Cover?

Speaker 1 (27:49):
That's Ronnie Dunn. So then Maya Maria must be the
tech Ray Benson.

Speaker 4 (27:57):
Asleep at the Wheel?

Speaker 1 (27:57):
Yeah, Asleep at the Wheel did a song that Brooks
and Dunn wrote.

Speaker 4 (28:01):
That must have been Boot Scoot.

Speaker 1 (28:02):
It's one of those two.

Speaker 4 (28:03):
Because I don't see Ray Benson doing Maya Maria.

Speaker 1 (28:07):
All right.

Speaker 2 (28:07):
You ready?

Speaker 1 (28:08):
Yeah, and then we'll go over the ones we missed. Oh,
here we go. Based on overall quality of covers, how
iconic they became, and whether they arguably rival or surpass
the originals, Which system is this? This is ChatGBT. Here
is third place. Me. What?

Speaker 3 (28:25):
Wow.

Speaker 1 (28:26):
How?

Speaker 4 (28:27):
Oh, my.

Speaker 6 (28:29):
God.

Speaker 1 (28:30):
Darius Rucker, massive smash mouth, benefited from Shrek. Yeah, no crap.

Speaker 4 (28:33):
Yeah, we said that.

Speaker 1 (28:34):
Elvis Presley. We knew that. Blue Suede Shoes is legendary,
although Carl Perkins fans may object to calling Elvis' version definitive.

Speaker 4 (28:41):
Okay. Relax, AI.

Speaker 1 (28:43):
Alien Ant Farm and Uncle Cracker.

Speaker 4 (28:45):
Okay.

Speaker 5 (28:45):
Strength.

Speaker 1 (28:46):
One of the most famous covers of the 2000s.

Speaker 6 (28:47):
Man.

Speaker 1 (28:49):
I can't believe I got third. I'll be honest with you.
I can't either. Is this Eddie's big time to win
for the first time ever? This may be your break, dude.

Speaker 4 (28:55):
I'm feeling good.

Speaker 1 (28:56):
Because there's no way Brandon wins with Metallica. There's no way.
There's no way.

Speaker 4 (29:00):
Can AI just do like, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha?

Speaker 1 (29:03):
Yeah, that's me at three. Okay, go ahead, number two. Go, Eddie!
Brandon has incredible top-end talent and some covers that completely
overtook the originals. Metallica, beloved by Rock Radio. Faith Hill,
solid but not iconic. He's getting bad reviews. How'd you
beat me? All your reviews suck. I know. Clint Black,

(29:26):
good but probably the weakest on the board. Stapleton became definitive.
The Atari is one of the best pop punk covers ever.
That sounds like third If.

Speaker 3 (29:36):
You compared the negative talk, I think Brandon got more
than you.

Speaker 1 (29:41):
I think mine's last place. I'll take it. No, no, no, no.
You got second place.

Speaker 4 (29:45):
Crazy though, Tennessee Whiskey's worked... But look, Tennessee.

Speaker 1 (29:49):
Whiskey and Turn the Page carry this lineup?

Speaker 4 (29:51):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (29:51):
I don't know about that. I'm not arguing. I got
my bronze medal. I'll move on. Next up is Eddie.

Speaker 4 (29:57):
Come on, let's go.

Speaker 1 (29:58):
Eddie's has the strongest combination of legendary covers and cultural impact.

Speaker 4 (30:03):
That's right, Vietnam War.

Speaker 1 (30:04):
Hendrix, greatest cover song ever recorded. Wow.

Speaker 4 (30:08):
I would agree. I would agree with that.

Speaker 1 (30:10):
Limp Bizkit, divisive but undeniably memorable song. The Chicks, Country Classic,
Van Halen helped launch their careers. Look at that. The
Black Crow is hard to handle. Yeah. Good job. So
the best individual picks in the entire draft were single songs,
All Along the Watchtower, Jimi Hendrix. Keep on scrolling down there, Mikey.

(30:32):
Tennessee Whiskey, Stapleton, Lancelot. I got none. There we go.

Speaker 4 (30:35):
Turn the page.

Speaker 1 (30:35):
What? Turn the page.

Speaker 4 (30:38):
Get out of here.

Speaker 1 (30:40):
Okay. I'll go to mine next. Yeah.

Speaker 6 (30:42):
Hang tight. The Bobbycast will be right back. And we're
back on the Bobbycast.

Speaker 1 (30:59):
At number three, Eddie. What?

Speaker 4 (31:02):
Oh, that's your phone because this is your AI.

Speaker 1 (31:05):
It's your AI. It doesn't know I own it. He
wrote pick Bobby.

Speaker 4 (31:10):
It sees the name Bobby. They're like, oh, that's my Bobby.

Speaker 1 (31:12):
This is my Bobby.

Speaker 4 (31:15):
That's my Bobby that I love so much.

Speaker 1 (31:17):
Hendrix's Watchtower is a top five cover, but Limp Bizkit's
Faith is the weak one that drags the roster down. Boo.
Like drafting a Hall of Famer first pick, then reaching
hard in round two.

Speaker 4 (31:29):
Okay.

Speaker 1 (31:30):
She wasn't even around back then. She doesn't even know.

Speaker 4 (31:32):
Yeah, she doesn't know.

Speaker 1 (31:34):
Claude's not a girl. Oh, I thought, I'm sorry.

Speaker 4 (31:37):
Claude isn't the one that speaks?

Speaker 1 (31:39):
No, that's Chad GPT on mine. Claude's a jerk. Number two, Brandon. Okay.
Tennessee Whiskey and Turn the Page are both covers. So good,
most casual fans think they're originals. The mark of a
great cover replaces the source material. Number one, Bobby.

Speaker 4 (31:57):
They're like, Bobby, my lover.

Speaker 1 (31:58):
My everything lover.

Speaker 4 (32:02):
It's so rigged, dude.

Speaker 2 (32:04):
Bobby.

Speaker 1 (32:06):
This is the greatest hit of covers. Becoming bigger than
the originals. Wagon Will, I'm a Believer, Blue Suede Shoes,
Smooth Criminal. Every single one didn't just cover the song.
It became the version for a whole generation. I agree.

Speaker 2 (32:18):
Yeah, yeah, yeah.

Speaker 4 (32:19):
You put it that way.

Speaker 1 (32:20):
Okay. Do you know what? Okay. Well, now, so we're
all even right now because I got a first and
a third. You got a first and a third. You
got two twos.

Speaker 2 (32:31):
You got to go to Gemini.

Speaker 1 (32:32):
So that's going to come to Gemini.

Speaker 4 (32:33):
Come on, Gemini.

Speaker 1 (32:34):
This is Mike's Gemini. All right. I'm nervous. Come on, Gemini.

Speaker 4 (32:40):
Does it go first?

Speaker 5 (32:41):
First?

Speaker 1 (32:41):
Gemini. Oh my, third place again?

Speaker 4 (32:43):
This is the truth. This is the truth.

Speaker 1 (32:46):
How? That's crazy. Okay.

Speaker 4 (32:49):
Dude, Metallica.

Speaker 1 (32:50):
Third place team, Wagon Wheel. Okay, I suck.

Speaker 2 (32:55):
Third place.

Speaker 1 (32:56):
Wow. Move on. Number two. Brandon, Eddie got his first win.

Speaker 3 (32:59):
Yes!

Speaker 1 (33:01):
I'm proud of you, Eddie. And Eddie gets his first win.

Speaker 4 (33:04):
Let's go.

Speaker 1 (33:05):
Let's see what it says. Congratulations.

Speaker 4 (33:06):
Look at that. Read that first line.

Speaker 1 (33:09):
Eddie drafted like an absolute clinical music historian. The champion.

Speaker 4 (33:12):
That I am.

Speaker 1 (33:14):
This team is stacked with songs that completely hijacked the
original identity of the track.

Speaker 4 (33:19):
That's right.

Speaker 1 (33:19):
That's right. Good job. You deserve a win.

Speaker 4 (33:22):
Thank you. That's my first ever win.

Speaker 1 (33:23):
You needed this.

Speaker 4 (33:24):
I did need that.

Speaker 1 (33:25):
It's been pretty rough. You can go home now with
your head held high.

Speaker 4 (33:27):
I was feeling pretty bad about myself the last couple weeks.

Speaker 6 (33:29):
Yeah.

Speaker 4 (33:29):
So this helps me.

Speaker 1 (33:30):
That makes sense. You know another one I debated about?
And we can go through if you want to look
up some of the greatest. I guess I'm here. Was
Weezer Africa. I really like the covers that they put out.
A bunch of stuff, right? Yeah. And that one became
a hit.

Speaker 4 (33:45):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (33:45):
They put out a whole cover album. But that's kind
of the song that made them do the whole rest
of the album.

Speaker 4 (33:50):
That's a good one.

Speaker 1 (33:51):
And that was just from a fan online in a comment.

Speaker 5 (33:54):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (33:54):
Who said, hey, you guys should cover Toto, Africa. I'm
an idiot.

Speaker 4 (33:59):
I just thought of a number one. Like, an easy
number one pick. I Will Always Love You.

Speaker 1 (34:04):
Oh, my God. Whitney Houston, Dolly Parton.

Speaker 2 (34:07):
Dude, that's... At this list I'm looking at, that's number one.

Speaker 4 (34:09):
Yeah, dude. That could have won it all. For anyone.

Speaker 1 (34:12):
You could have done one and walked away. Yeah, you're like, done.
You could have hit that one and walked to the bathroom.

Speaker 4 (34:17):
Why didn't I think of that?

Speaker 1 (34:18):
And then left us to do five. That's a great one.
I thought of another one. What's that? Tall Tall Trees
from Alan Jackson.

Speaker 4 (34:27):
You thought of anyone?

Speaker 1 (34:30):
Thanks, man.

Speaker 6 (34:30):
Whoa.

Speaker 1 (34:30):
I covered the song once. What about UB40?

Speaker 2 (34:32):
Red Red Wine? Was that a cover?

Speaker 1 (34:40):
I don't know. That's the only song I know. Oh,
you mean Wise Men Say. That one. No, no, no.

Speaker 4 (34:47):
That's the one I was thinking of.

Speaker 1 (34:48):
Are you talking about Akon? No, no.

Speaker 2 (34:50):
They have two then.

Speaker 1 (34:51):
They have two then. Because that's I Can't Help Falling
In Love.

Speaker 4 (34:53):
Yes.

Speaker 1 (34:53):
But the other one they did is Lean On Me.

Speaker 4 (34:55):
Oh, they did Lean On Me?

Speaker 6 (34:56):
No, no, no.

Speaker 1 (34:57):
That's a different group.

Speaker 4 (34:58):
Who did Lean On Me? Oh, a hip hop version
of Lean On Me.

Speaker 1 (35:01):
Boom. That was a dude. It wasn't hip hop. It
was like a weird. Oh, it was? I thought they
did that. It's kind of hip hop, but it's kind
of like a weird poppy funk thing. Yeah.

Speaker 4 (35:10):
Yeah, I forgot about that one. But I definitely know
what you're talking about.

Speaker 1 (35:13):
We couldn't have picked it. We can't think of the group. Right.
I got a question.

Speaker 2 (35:16):
Is it Club Novo?

Speaker 1 (35:17):
That's it. Club Novo. Yeah.

Speaker 4 (35:21):
What were you thinking?

Speaker 5 (35:22):
I'll be– what's the police song?

Speaker 1 (35:28):
I'll be– Oh, Diddy.

Speaker 2 (35:29):
I'll be watching.

Speaker 1 (35:30):
That's a sample if you're going to do Diddy. I
didn't know if it was like– Go pick it. Yeah,
it's a sample. You're right. I ain't picking that. I'll
be missing you from Diddy.

Speaker 2 (35:40):
Right.

Speaker 1 (35:40):
He redid.

Speaker 4 (35:41):
Yeah, yeah, yeah. I wouldn't have picked that one.

Speaker 1 (35:44):
And good, because it wasn't a cover.

Speaker 5 (35:46):
Right.

Speaker 1 (35:46):
It's not a cover.

Speaker 4 (35:47):
Anything else we're leaving on today?

Speaker 1 (35:48):
Mercury Blues. There's a ton. Mike.

Speaker 2 (35:51):
Aretha Franklin, Respect.

Speaker 1 (35:53):
Because that originally was Otis Redding or Sam Coates?

Speaker 2 (35:55):
Otis Redding.

Speaker 1 (35:56):
Yeah.

Speaker 4 (35:56):
Oh, I didn't know that.

Speaker 1 (35:57):
That's a good one.

Speaker 2 (35:57):
Sinead O'Connor, Nothing Compares to You.

Speaker 1 (35:59):
Prince. Prince.

Speaker 2 (36:01):
They have Soft Sail, Tainted Love.

Speaker 1 (36:04):
Oh, yeah. Who did the original?

Speaker 2 (36:05):
The original was.
Gloria Jones in 1965.

Speaker 3 (36:09):
Ooh, would have never gotten that.

Speaker 2 (36:11):
They have Johnny Cash Hurt.

Speaker 1 (36:13):
Oh, Nine Inch Nails.

Speaker 4 (36:14):
That's a good cover.

Speaker 2 (36:15):
Jeff Buckley, Hallelujah.

Speaker 4 (36:18):
Leonard Cohen.

Speaker 1 (36:19):
Spock's cover.

Speaker 4 (36:20):
Spock, Spock.

Speaker 1 (36:21):
Yeah, Spock. That's right.

Speaker 4 (36:28):
Oh, I wrote that song.

Speaker 2 (36:30):
Did you just say Joe Cocker with a little help
from my friends?

Speaker 1 (36:32):
We did it.

Speaker 4 (36:33):
That's the Wonder Years.

Speaker 1 (36:34):
Yeah, the Beatles.

Speaker 4 (36:35):
And that's the Wonder Years theme song.

Speaker 1 (36:38):
Does Ringo sing that one?

Speaker 4 (36:40):
For the Beatles, yeah.

Speaker 1 (36:40):
What would you do? I get my little help from
my friends.

Speaker 3 (36:44):
But I do believe the Joe Cocker version is the
one they used for Wonder Years, right?

Speaker 1 (36:47):
No, it is.

Speaker 4 (36:48):
Okay, that's Woodstock. That was an awesome cover.

Speaker 1 (36:51):
A lot of Joe Cocker stuff, though, was cover. Was it? Yeah.
There's another... What's that song? I could be wrong on that,
but keep going to your list and we'll go look
that up.

Speaker 2 (37:04):
After that, they have Nirvana, The Man Who Sold The World.

Speaker 1 (37:06):
That's a good one.

Speaker 4 (37:07):
Is that the.

Speaker 1 (37:08):
Bowie, and it's probably from the... The Unplugged. Yeah, MTV Unplugged.

Speaker 2 (37:11):
Yeah, MTV Unplugged. They have The Beatles, Twist and Shout.

Speaker 1 (37:15):
Oh, Chubby Checker?

Speaker 2 (37:17):
Isley Brothers.

Speaker 1 (37:17):
Okay. You're thinking of The Twist?

Speaker 5 (37:19):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (37:20):
And then when he didn't have any other songs, he
did Let's Twist Again.

Speaker 4 (37:22):
Yes, he did. Part two. You are so beautiful, Joe Cocker.

Speaker 1 (37:27):
There you go. Is that a cover?

Speaker 4 (37:29):
I don't know.

Speaker 1 (37:30):
But he also did... Anyway, keep going, Mike.

Speaker 2 (37:32):
They have Luke Combs' Fast Car. Oh, yeah.

Speaker 1 (37:36):
That's a good one. I wouldn't have picked that one
because it was so new, but that was a really
good one. Tracy Chapman. Yeah.

Speaker 2 (37:40):
The White Stripes' Jolene.

Speaker 1 (37:42):
I don't know that version. I've never heard that either.

Speaker 2 (37:45):
Yeah, I think you guys said Guns N' Roses, Knockin'
on Heaven's Door. And then they have Muse, Feeling Good.

Speaker 1 (37:50):
Okay. Is that because I'm feeling good? Not Michael Buble.
Michael Buble's was a cover too. I don't know. I
don't know. Garth Brooks, Shameless.

Speaker 5 (38:02):
Yes.

Speaker 1 (38:03):
Billy Joel.

Speaker 4 (38:04):
Billy Joel. That's so good.

Speaker 1 (38:06):
I didn't know that was a Billy Joel song as
a kid. I just knew it was a Garth Brooks song.
And I thought when they did the New York concert
that Billy Joel was just singing Garth Brooks song with them.

Speaker 4 (38:14):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (38:14):
Yeah. Rascal Flatts Life's a Highway oh that's a good
one Tom Cochran that's a good one oh did you
know I Love Rock and Roll from Joan Jett is
actually a cover too so Joan Jett covered that song
and then Britney Spears cover to cover too much yeah
it's from the Arrows wow unexpected covers they're incredible yeah

(38:35):
I don't know oh Disturbed the Sound of Silence that
was kind of cool not a big Disturbed fan but
they did the sound.

Speaker 3 (38:43):
Of silence that's Simon and Garfunkel yeah That's what I
have when I looked up what are good covers just now.

Speaker 1 (38:49):
We miss any others?

Speaker 2 (38:50):
Those are the big ones I see on this Rolling
Stone list.

Speaker 1 (38:53):
Okay, let me do... Give me some other great pop
covers and see if anything comes up. How about.
Well, Natalie Imbruglia Torn. Did you know the story of
that song? And it's in a different language. Oh, really?
Like so many people didn't pick up the song. It
was passed around forever. So many people try and she's

(39:13):
the one that cut it. But... It was a song.
I think it's in like Norwegian or something. Really?

Speaker 4 (39:20):
So you can look up Torn, but by who?

Speaker 1 (39:25):
Holland. He played soccer for Norway. Holland. Holland.

Speaker 2 (39:29):
It's a Danish song.

Speaker 1 (39:30):
It's a Danish? Yeah.

Speaker 2 (39:31):
Yeah.

Speaker 4 (39:32):
That's interesting.

Speaker 1 (39:33):
I love a Danish. Cyndi Lauper, Girls Just Want to
Have Fun.

Speaker 4 (39:36):
Oh, yeah.

Speaker 1 (39:37):
From Robert Hazard. And originally it was written as him
talking about girls wanting to have fun, written from a
dude's perspective.

Speaker 4 (39:44):
Interesting.

Speaker 1 (39:46):
The Bangles, Hazy Shade of Winter, Simon and Garfunkel. Okay.
Banana Rama, Venus, Shocking Blue. Tiffany, I Think We're Alone
Now is Tommy James and the Shondells.

Speaker 2 (39:57):
There you go.

Speaker 1 (39:57):
We never got there on that one.

Speaker 4 (39:59):
There you go. There you go.

Speaker 1 (40:01):
Hmm.

Speaker 4 (40:02):
What?

Speaker 1 (40:03):
Another great cover, me and Bobby McGee. Yeah, okay.

Speaker 4 (40:05):
I was going to ask about that. Is that a cover?

Speaker 1 (40:07):
It is. He recorded it? He recorded it. Harry Styles'
Girl Crush. He just did it live. Oh.

Speaker 4 (40:15):
Oh, speaking of the live, I was thinking of John Mayer.
Free Fallin'. Yeah. Great cover.

Speaker 1 (40:23):
No Doubt, It's My Life was originally from Talk Talk.

Speaker 4 (40:26):
I didn't know that.

Speaker 1 (40:27):
Limp Bizkit, Behind Blue Eyes. That actually was a hit
from The Who.

Speaker 3 (40:31):
So that was the one that got me to Faith.
So like I thought Limp Bizkit and the first one
I thought of was.

Speaker 4 (40:37):
Behind Blue Eyes by The Who. And then I was like, yeah,
but I feel like Faith was bigger. So I went Faith.

Speaker 1 (40:42):
Yeah, I think that was it. That's why you won.
Because of Faith. Heard it through the grapevine. California Raisins.
California Raisins. Original band. Red Red Wine was from Neil Diamond.

Speaker 4 (40:54):
Okay, so that would have been a huge one.

Speaker 1 (40:56):
Ace of Base, Don't Turn Around. Tina Turner recorded it first.

Speaker 4 (41:00):
Oh, that's another good one. Tina Turner. Big Wheels Keep
On Turning.

Speaker 1 (41:03):
What's it called? Oh, Proud Mary. Yeah, Ike and Tina. Oh, yeah,
because that was a CCR song. That would have been
a good one.

Speaker 4 (41:08):
As well.

Speaker 1 (41:08):
Yeah, so. Man, I feel like there are still so
many more that I'm not even knowing.

Speaker 4 (41:13):
Tons.

Speaker 1 (41:13):
Take me to the river, talking heads. No. Billy Bass.

Speaker 4 (41:18):
You push the red button. You push the red button.

Speaker 2 (41:21):
You push the red button.

Speaker 1 (41:23):
Take me to the river. He goes back and leans
back onto that. Did you guys ever have Billy Bass?

Speaker 4 (41:30):
Yeah, dude. I had a Billy... So my dad... I
hated it so much.

Speaker 1 (41:33):
Crazy.

Speaker 4 (41:33):
Like, I don't know.

Speaker 3 (41:35):
When I was in high school, he built a bar
in our house. I think the story went that my
mom told him to stop going to the bar so much,
he built it in the house. And so I remember
the biggest thing in there was a huge Billy Bass
that he had right in the middle.

Speaker 4 (41:49):
And, dude, people just loved to go in there and
hit it. Take me to the river.

Speaker 1 (41:54):
For like a year and a half, that was the
funniest thing that existed.

Speaker 4 (41:56):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (41:57):
Yeah. Our neighbor, Scotty, had one.

Speaker 4 (42:01):
Was Scotty's motion censored or hit the button? Because there
was some that were motion.

Speaker 1 (42:05):
I think it was a button. We're from Mountain Pine.
We didn't have the motion sensor. That probably cost a
few extra dollars. I remember the motion sensor.

Speaker 4 (42:11):
Yeah, where you just walk by and it does it.

Speaker 1 (42:13):
If you're listening or you're watching this and you don't
know who Billy Bass is, it was this fake mounted
fish that would just sing songs.

Speaker 4 (42:20):
Yeah, it was a bass.

Speaker 1 (42:20):
Was that the only song it would sing? I think so.

Speaker 4 (42:24):
Was Don't Worry, Be Happy one of them too?

Speaker 1 (42:27):
Possibly.

Speaker 4 (42:27):
I feel like that might have been one.

Speaker 2 (42:29):
Yeah, those are the two.

Speaker 3 (42:30):
And so people can picture it. It really looked like
just a bass that someone caught and it was.

Speaker 1 (42:35):
Mounted.

Speaker 4 (42:36):
Mounted, right?

Speaker 1 (42:37):
Or a trout. It might have been a trout.

Speaker 4 (42:38):
Mine was a bass, for sure.

Speaker 1 (42:39):
Oh, I guess it's Billy Bass, so it's not Timmy
the Trout. Yeah, you're right.

Speaker 4 (42:43):
And then when you hit the button, it just like,
it's saying at you.

Speaker 1 (42:46):
In his mouth. Yeah. Well, congratulations, buddy.

Speaker 4 (42:49):
Thank you, man.

Speaker 1 (42:50):
My first... A free Billy Bass.

Speaker 4 (42:52):
I'll take it.

Speaker 1 (42:53):
Let's bring it in, boys. Do they still make the
Billy Bass?

Speaker 2 (42:55):
I think they brought it back kind of recently.

Speaker 1 (42:57):
Let me go to Amazon here and see how much
a Billy Bass costs. Hey, we got you, man. We'll
get you one.

Speaker 3 (43:01):
It would be cool, too, to know who created the
Billy Bass and how much money did they make.

Speaker 1 (43:06):
Billy Bass singing Fish right now. It sings, I will
survive and don't worry, be happy. I will survive is
funny for that.

Speaker 4 (43:14):
That is funny.

Speaker 1 (43:16):
With motion. It's called Big Mouth Billy Bass, $ 49. 99. They
couldn't add more songs to it? It's probably what they
want to pay for.

Speaker 3 (43:24):
So I bet you that Without Motion is probably $ 39.

Speaker 2 (43:27):
It made $ 100 million in its first year back in 2000.

Speaker 1 (43:30):
No way.

Speaker 4 (43:31):
We contributed to that.

Speaker 1 (43:32):
Dude, that's crazy. That's a lot of money. Who invented it?
Joe Pelletieri wow not even a Billy what if you
like meet that guy and he's rich and you always
wonder why how people have these big houses when you
drive by you ever heard of Billy Bass you live
up there what did you do and you think he
probably invented or patented some he invented.

Speaker 3 (43:54):
The internet like big tech or something he's like yeah
I did Billy Bass.

Speaker 1 (43:59):
You bought all that with Billy Bass there's one for
$ 199 I think that's an old one Like an original.

Speaker 2 (44:07):
Crazy here. Al Green said he got more money from
royalties from Billy Bass than he did from like the
actual song. Like the recording of it.

Speaker 1 (44:14):
That's crazy.

Speaker 4 (44:15):
Did Al Green do that song? Yeah.

Speaker 1 (44:17):
Take me to the river.

Speaker 4 (44:17):
Take me to the river. Okay.

Speaker 1 (44:19):
Big Mouth Billy Bass Christmas sings Jingle Bells and I
Will Survive. Oh, man.

Speaker 4 (44:24):
I love that.

Speaker 1 (44:26):
You know, they sold so many. They thought, well, sales
are starting to go down. What can we do now
with Billy Bass? Right. I don't know. Christmas?

Speaker 3 (44:34):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (44:34):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (44:36):
Yeah.

Speaker 4 (44:37):
And you're right. The royalties.

Speaker 3 (44:38):
You got to think about that. And that's why you're
not putting tons of songs on there.

Speaker 1 (44:42):
Yeah. There's something called, if you like Billy Bass, you'll
also like this. A Dr. Dingus yodeling pickle.

Speaker 4 (44:50):
Is it mounted too?

Speaker 1 (44:52):
It's a singing pickle.

Speaker 2 (44:54):
Is it singing my ding-a-ling?

Speaker 1 (44:57):
It sings delightful yodel songs, like dill-lightful yodel songs. Oh, dill-lightful.

Speaker 4 (45:03):
That's funny.

Speaker 5 (45:05):
Huh.

Speaker 4 (45:06):
I feel like there was another fish too that was
not a bass.

Speaker 1 (45:09):
Oh, I'm sure there were knockoffs. Right?

Speaker 4 (45:11):
Like trouts or something. Like Tommy Trout.

Speaker 1 (45:13):
Let's see.

Speaker 4 (45:14):
I feel like there were.

Speaker 1 (45:15):
Knockoff Billy Bass.

Speaker 4 (45:16):
There had to have been, right?

Speaker 1 (45:17):
Tommy Trout singing fish.

Speaker 4 (45:19):
See?

Speaker 5 (45:19):
No way.

Speaker 4 (45:20):
I told you.

Speaker 3 (45:21):
That guy didn't make as much money.

Speaker 4 (45:24):
No?

Speaker 1 (45:25):
I think I just typed that and it accepted it
more than there was one. But there's a dancing monkey
that sings... But yeah, I think there were probably knockoffs.

Speaker 4 (45:32):
Was the dancing monkey the one with the cymbals?

Speaker 1 (45:34):
Nah, he plays guitar, dude.

Speaker 4 (45:35):
Oh, okay.

Speaker 1 (45:36):
Yeah, idiot. Okay, that was it. Good job, everybody. Good job, Eddie.
