Yeah we.
Speaker 3 (00:55):

Speaker 2 (00:57):
We would deny those like any insurance company.
Speaker 4 (01:02):
Well maybe it's time to open up to anybody at
this point, let's do Let's.
Speaker 3 (01:07):
Keep it throwback.
Speaker 2 (01:08):
So yeah, you know, I'm gonna keep it somewhat poppy
and well known. So joy Ride is a song by
Swedish pop duo rock Set. It was released on February
twenty five. Nice This is Like Last Week Right twenty five,
nineteen ninety one, by Emi, as the lead single from
the third studio album joy Ride. It became one of
rock Seat's biggest hits and was one of the most
successful singles of nineteen ninety one, topping multiple record trucks
(01:31):
across Europe as well as in Australia, Canada and the
United States.
Speaker 5 (01:35):
One question, guys, if I asked you when this is
a song without, would you guess nineteen ninety one or
would you guess like nineteen eighty six?
Speaker 2 (01:42):
I would have guessed ninety eight.
Speaker 1 (01:44):
I was.
Speaker 3 (01:45):
I was there, like eighties right now.
Speaker 5 (01:47):
It was one right, It's so crazy, I could I
really thought this was like an eighties.
Speaker 2 (01:51):
Song when I remember the radio when they actually debuted
it on Kiss Fan.
Speaker 5 (01:56):
But I guess like nineties every year, every time there's
like a change in Cold true, like it takes like
two years through the years. So like Nirvana didn't come
till like ninety you know five, you know or something
ninety four, So it was ninety one.
Speaker 2 (02:08):
Actually when they broke through too, wasn't it their first?
Speaker 3 (02:10):
That was Bleach though that.
Speaker 2 (02:11):
Wasn't no Bleach was eighty nine, ninety one was uh yeah,
never mind.
Speaker 3 (02:15):
So ninety one was never Mind Enjoy Ride.
Speaker 2 (02:19):
Oh yeah, I know that viot the same. I know
when I bought those singles singles for never Mind Enjoy Enjoy.
Speaker 3 (02:26):
Right, Yeah.
Speaker 5 (02:27):
I didn't buy a Nirvana album until in Utero and
that's like ninety five.
Speaker 2 (02:31):
It's ninety five, yeah, yeah, yeah, around that ten. So
the songs accompanying music video directed by Doug Friel, received
heavy rotation in MTV Europe and it currently has sixty
seven million views on YouTube, while the remastered version as
twenty three million views.
Speaker 4 (02:46):
Wow for combined almost one hundred there.
Speaker 5 (02:49):
What should do you guys enjoy better? The remastered version
or the original with the monkeys.
Speaker 2 (02:53):
I find the original one better.
Speaker 4 (02:54):
It's a little bit more of the time. I think
the og one with the.
Speaker 2 (02:58):
Monkeys, Yeah, but like but that was a choice though,
to get rid of the those and catching the guitar.
Speaker 4 (03:04):
There a few there's a few tweaks.
Speaker 5 (03:06):
Yeah, I think there wasn't as much spinning in the
newer one. The old one had like a lot of
the spinning of the cities and it's like it's almost
like it makes you kind of blind because they're sitting
You almost kind of lose them in the spinning in
the original one while the green screen because there's so
much happening in the background and they're sitting on the Ferrari.
Speaker 3 (03:22):
Yeah, and you kind of start to lose them in
the background.
Speaker 4 (03:25):
Yeah. The clean ones pretty straightforward.
Speaker 2 (03:27):
Yeah, I think because they probably can get h D
footage of the actual back spinning background because they were
probably shot on I don't know, like a low resolution
film or something or videotape even so, like when they
restored it, I'm like, now, let's just stretch out as
many footage of them, some b rolls of them being
driven around.
Speaker 3 (03:44):
Yeah.
Speaker 5 (03:45):
So yeah, and it looks a little better when they're
actually driven around in the Ferrari.
Speaker 2 (03:49):
I mean it's yeah, it's it's it's a more of
I guess updated version.
Speaker 4 (03:53):
Ye. I'll trust Louis with the car.
Speaker 5 (03:57):
Because it says in the video like Ferrari. I mean,
it says on the Wikipedia it.
Speaker 4 (04:03):
Wasn't like a sob of a bulbosh.
Speaker 3 (04:06):
I read somewhere that it was a Ferrari. That's why
I do you.
Speaker 2 (04:10):
Know that my glasses are made by Ferrari.
Speaker 4 (04:12):
I saw the little little horses right there.
Speaker 3 (04:14):
Did you earn just for the rocks?
Speaker 2 (04:15):
Yes, exactly for this occasion. Okay, guys, so what's your history?
You would rock Set or joy Ride or both?
Speaker 4 (04:22):
Nothing much but just the hits. I mean I knew
all the hits. I was already well aware of what
was happening and during that time when they came out
of one in the eighties, right, I'm sure like they
had a early late eighties late eighties like the Women,
and but that's the song that I like, must have
been love. I like that song and I was heard
everywhere to He's still still going strong with that one, ye,
more so than this song. But this was pretty women, right,
(04:46):
that was one of the songs. I just watched they
other night. But yeah, it's the footage of the movie.
Speaker 3 (04:50):
I feel.
Speaker 5 (04:51):
But by that time, I was already like deep in
like Tribe cult Quests.
Speaker 4 (04:54):
Yeah exactly, but it's still being played so much. I
hear tree stores or like department stores at the mall everywhere.
But it's kind of like still today. But I never
really got into them, not really. I mean, sure, we're
gonna talk about this in a little bit, but I.
Speaker 3 (05:10):
Like to think that my mom would listen to Yeah, it's.
Speaker 4 (05:13):
Pretty plain, right, nothing too exciting or memorable, but the
songs are good. I mean, I can't argue with saying
that my.
Speaker 3 (05:20):
Mom bad music. It just seemed like it was like
ot of like adult contemporary, adult contemporary, like women's singer.
Speaker 4 (05:27):
There's no edge, I think, is what I'm trying to say. Yeah,
very little, very little.
Speaker 2 (05:31):
The guitars were pretty kicking though, Like upon looking back, yeah.
Speaker 4 (05:35):
And again it's not bad, nothing against it, but it's
not something that made me kind of you know, like
seek it more than than I did.
Speaker 3 (05:42):
You know, then what radio station would this be played on?
Speaker 4 (05:45):
Back?
Speaker 3 (05:45):
Like it was? It wasn't on K rock, right, No,
Kiss Kiss Wild?
Speaker 2 (05:49):
Play this any pop station really, you know? And then
that's kind of how they got their first exposure, right yeah,
because they got the was it the look, got the
look it got dangerous.
Speaker 5 (06:00):
I think the look I was more into than anything
that was a that's a jam.
Speaker 4 (06:04):
Yeah. No, they know how to write a song, man,
that's the thing. They know. They've got the formula down,
you know what I mean? I mean every single song
really just.
Speaker 2 (06:11):
Is they're brilliant musicians or right, I mean they've been
jamming since like the late seventies.
Speaker 3 (06:15):
What's the classic Swedish pop?
Speaker 1 (06:17):
Right?
Speaker 4 (06:17):
Yeah, sets are really good with their pop. How about
you guys. You guys were big fans, right, the T
shirts and the posters and the like.
Speaker 5 (06:26):
Like I said, I I think I saw this. That's
kind of like, oh my, probably my moms or my
aunts listen to this, and I'm already into fucking cross
colors and trive called.
Speaker 3 (06:36):
Questions like moved on, I'm done with this soul.
Speaker 5 (06:41):
Arrest in development, Like I'm already signed up, you know,
That's right.
Speaker 2 (06:46):
I was in I was in my schedule phase around.
Speaker 3 (06:48):
I was trying to be good at basketball.
Speaker 4 (06:52):
Had the airbrush overall.
Speaker 3 (06:55):
I've never had that.
Speaker 5 (06:56):
I would never bring up to Living Color on Sundays.
I never had airbrushed overalls. And I never wore like
an African medallion. There's like there was a lot of
Mexican slash German kids that were the that kind of stuff.
But I had a peace sign, a little small peace
sign specifically yeah, you know, continents, no continents, no Motherland.
(07:20):
At that time, I had one pair of cross color
Excite that's all I could afford with my school money,
and like a T shirt but everything else was like
I think I couldn't afford anything.
Speaker 3 (07:31):
I think my dad bought me.
Speaker 5 (07:32):
He couldn't afford We couldn't afford nikes, but I got
Rebox blacktops.
Speaker 2 (07:37):
It from the swap meet that you said five bucks
per shoes or.
Speaker 3 (07:40):
No, I don episode No, no, I would get my
shoes from like probably.
Speaker 4 (07:44):
It was TJ Max coming up at that time, right.
Speaker 3 (07:46):
No, I think I got them at j C.
Speaker 2 (07:48):
Pennies wasn't working.
Speaker 5 (07:55):
But no, I was like, you know, poor kid, so
like I had him make stuff happen, you know, like
so I wasn't able to be full daisy core, but
I tried my.
Speaker 3 (08:06):
Best, you know.
Speaker 2 (08:07):
So when Louie got it all together, here comes the
rock seat. He's got the look. The look.
Speaker 3 (08:14):
You know.
Speaker 5 (08:15):
What's funny is like there's no pictures of me from
that time because I would I just did not want
to be in a picture.
Speaker 3 (08:21):
You can barely find a picture of me.
Speaker 2 (08:23):
He's a crypto.
Speaker 4 (08:25):
Yeah. By the way, do you regret not having pictures
at a certain moments? I kind of do me too,
especially now.
Speaker 6 (08:30):
Yeah.
Speaker 5 (08:30):
No, I'm like I wish I had like I did
where I had some oshbosh oshkosh b gosh overall, because
I wanted to be like fucking Tennessee, you know, I
wanted to be in rest in development, and I would
wear one down, you know, and I'm like, I wish
I had because those are cool overall, Like I wish
I had a picture with them.
Speaker 3 (08:46):
But I was like I was so self conscious and junior.
Speaker 4 (08:49):
Yeahunders you know how occasionally we'll like start text chaining
and it's like old pictures that you found out cleaning up,
you know what I mean, Like, right, that's fun. Right, Oh,
I forgot about that happened.
Speaker 3 (09:00):
But they're all high school.
Speaker 4 (09:01):
There's junior highways, high school like early adult years, you know.
Speaker 3 (09:05):
There's no rock set years.
Speaker 4 (09:06):
No, no, no, yeah.
Speaker 2 (09:08):
Well, first of all, I was like, we didn't have
money for a film, to pay for film getting. We
didn't have a camera yet. I didn't even own a camera.
Speaker 4 (09:15):
So no I would That was the era of disposables, though, yeah, I.
Speaker 5 (09:18):
Would buy a disposable, but then I could never afford
to develop them. And then like there's one like around
this time, I'm like, you know what, I'm going to
be a fucking director. So I bought myself a disposable
camera for like five dollars to save up my money,
and I got like all these like dinosaur toys, and
I built like this whole like scene and I was
taking like pictures and I was.
Speaker 3 (09:38):
Going to like like, oh, this could be like a movie,
you know. And I never developed them.
Speaker 2 (09:43):
Nothing happened.
Speaker 3 (09:44):
I couldn't afford to develop them. I didn't do anything
with that. What am I gonna do?
Speaker 5 (09:49):
Right, I'm not fucking Steven Spielberg but not buying me
a camera, you know?
Speaker 3 (09:55):
And yeah, you have these weird dreams. And then I'm like, nope,
I'm just going back to Tennessee.
Speaker 4 (10:03):
How about you?
Speaker 2 (10:05):
Rock set? I mean, yeah, I've heard she's got to
look dangerous? You know, what's the other ballad that they did?
Besides it must have been love? You didn't have this
or I never bought a Rossett record in my life.
Speaker 3 (10:14):
But I mean, you're kind of more metal coded I was.
Speaker 2 (10:17):
I was, I was beginning to transition into into that,
like the guitar very guitar bass.
Speaker 4 (10:22):
Did you guys ever buy the albums like a thrift
stores and rock set? No?
Speaker 2 (10:25):
I would. I wouldn't if I found if I find
a record of rock set. I'll buy it, you know,
in the thrift store that is, but I won't pay
like Target prices for it.
Speaker 5 (10:33):
Target like thirty three dollars for us. You know that's
that's especially today, right, you know, no Target today.
Speaker 2 (10:39):
No Target today, No by no by Friday.
Speaker 3 (10:43):
No, I don't remember.
Speaker 5 (10:44):
I think maybe tapes I saw this, but yeah, tons
of I mean they the guitar tones fucking rule on
all their albums. Yeah, they're fucking rocket now, you know.
And it's like the Rickenbacker that he's using.
Speaker 3 (10:55):
On this video. If I had that, you just dropping,
I would I would rule the world. I would to
drop it out of a plane. I don't know.
Speaker 2 (11:02):
Despite me being all edgy and getting you know, becoming
a hormonal, rebellious teenager, I never thought of rocks Head
was like all they suck.
Speaker 5 (11:09):
Or especially with that like the singer what's her name, Marie,
she's like a goddess.
Speaker 3 (11:14):
She's beautiful, like you know. But you know what's funny
is which is also weird.
Speaker 5 (11:21):
It's also funny is my mom had the same exact
haircut at that time of her Oh she had.
Speaker 2 (11:26):
A short hair and that's always I remember.
Speaker 3 (11:29):
And she would like bleach blonded. So maybe that's one
of the reasons why I was not into her, because
I was like, she looks like my mid you know,
like my mom did. Was she had rocks Head vibes.
Speaker 2 (11:40):
You know, she's got the looks.
Speaker 3 (11:43):
Just look trust me.
Speaker 4 (11:46):
That's funny.
Speaker 2 (11:47):
So like, maybe listen to your hearts, you listen to you.
Speaker 3 (11:53):
They had a lot of jams. I don't know where
I'm going.
Speaker 5 (11:59):
All right, I can just go on for It's crazy
that you know all the lyrics to all their songs,
but never.
Speaker 2 (12:06):
Because they were like your head. Everywhere they got they
were got played because yeah they were radio friendly, and
I mean I didn't even know they freaking did a
whole Spanish album of their ballads and.
Speaker 5 (12:17):
Earlier, well every save on while I'm trying to think
camart you would go to in the nineties, they would
they be playing it, Yeah Smiths or.
Speaker 3 (12:27):
Gamco.
Speaker 2 (12:28):
But yeah, Rock said they were a crucial part. Not crucial,
but they were a background music of our time back
in Ealy Night.
Speaker 4 (12:34):
It does take you back to those moments.
Speaker 2 (12:37):
Granted though, joy Ride came out and I actually considered
this the lesser of their you know, gallery of hits
this is their least this is my least favorite of them.
Speaker 3 (12:46):
Well, this is this is like not a ballot. There're
other ones are kind of ballots.
Speaker 2 (12:48):
Well it's not not ballads.
Speaker 5 (12:49):
I'm saying they're actually just like spot but like a
ballot will like hit you harder, and it's usually using
films and movies and stuff like where this is kind
of like they're pop, straight up pop rock one.
Speaker 3 (12:59):
You know, so I can see why.
Speaker 4 (13:00):
It's like, yeah, I didn't really feel this one as
much as the other earlier songs.
Speaker 5 (13:03):
I just remember this from like commercials and stuff like that,
like car commercials and different things like that.
Speaker 2 (13:08):
Yeah, yeah, and yeah they love putting pop songs and
car commercials back in the nights, right.
Speaker 4 (13:13):
Right, Yeah, that's it. So it is sign sealed.
Speaker 2 (13:15):
Remember that it was your favorite car commercial?
Speaker 4 (13:18):
Could stop? Yeah, they just hammer it right. Oh my god,
I can't take any.
Speaker 2 (13:26):
Okay, we'll be right back for some pop quiz. Good guys,

singers from there.
Speaker 4 (21:45):
They're right, That's where I started.
Speaker 3 (21:47):
Yeah, they're trust this guy.
Speaker 2 (21:50):
Bonus question. Ab Okay, guys, stop with the music video
for joy Ride.
Speaker 5 (21:57):
Well, it's funny, It's like it has some of the
stuff that I like with music video where they're like
really on the car in the middle of the desert.
Speaker 3 (22:05):
I always love those ones. You know, there's the clash,
there's a lot of good. You know. Depeche Bone has
a lot.
Speaker 4 (22:09):
Of good in the desert.
Speaker 2 (22:11):
Yeah, yeah, yeah, the damned particular, Yeah, the damned one.
They're in the desert.
Speaker 5 (22:15):
But when the green screen comes in, I'm just like,
it takes me out of it. Man, I'm so bummed out,
you know, because even when she's like dancing around the
bus and then he's like kind of hanging on the
bus with the guitar, I'm like, this is good, you know,
they're doing some stuff, but then he goes to the
green screen and I'm just like so bummed.
Speaker 3 (22:32):
The thing kills me. Man.
Speaker 2 (22:34):
You don't like it, huh, I don't know.
Speaker 4 (22:35):
I don't think they talk a little bit about what's there.
The song is based on what his Lennon and Paul McCartney's,
I mean, at least a title, right, how they make songs.
It's like a joy, right.
Speaker 3 (22:46):
Right, Yeah, he says that writing songs with.
Speaker 4 (22:48):
Him, but it's kind of literal in this sense though, right,
like they're just they're on a joy, right, having a
good time all over the world, and particularly like I
guess the cities in the it stays.
Speaker 2 (22:59):
Right right, they're during the wing of a plane, you know,
like the Gremlin and tilt freaking out, was.
Speaker 5 (23:08):
Pulling out wires rights, freaking out that he was going
he breaks the glass, remember how he like flies away.
Speaker 3 (23:20):
And then John Lickwell did it in the eighties remake.
Speaker 2 (23:23):
I mean, it's it's a lot of that, just really
having fun.
Speaker 3 (23:26):
Getting a Ferrari is always cool. That's a beautiful car.
Speaker 2 (23:30):
Yeah, that's a slick.
Speaker 3 (23:33):
Like bus was awesome.
Speaker 2 (23:34):
Yeah, that's a tour bus, right, that's a classic tour bus.
I hope the ac is really good on that soccer
because they're in that they're in that freaking desert and
you know, if you saw True Detective season two, you
don't want to be on that desert.
Speaker 4 (23:47):
Well, I mean not really, not too many things happen, right,
I don't even understand that.
Speaker 2 (23:51):
And yeah that yeah, that's just like on the original Yeah,
on the original video. They so there's you know, like
that's re explain for the audience. Like there's two versions.
There's the original version and the remastered version. The remastered
version did away with the monkey, the monkey, the carousel, Yeah,
(24:11):
the carousel, carnival set backdrops. They did away with that
and the the spinning city scapes too, right.
Speaker 7 (24:17):
Yeah, So I think what I was anything that was
kind of low resy because those look lo res even
though they're in lowres, so like the couldn't make it, Yeah,
they couldn't make it high.
Speaker 3 (24:29):
So it just looked really bad.
Speaker 2 (24:30):
Yeah, so it's like, yeah, that's just you know, extend
some good high def burole that we took from you know,
the Desert can. I just expanded.
Speaker 3 (24:38):
It looks good. It looks really good. When we watched
the other one, I was like, oh wow, this is
like jarring. Yeah it was.
Speaker 2 (24:42):
Yeah, it was definitely jarring. And yeah, like we missed
the part too because I remember when I first saw
this music video, like when he dropped the guitar from
the plane when you're playing, I remember him catching it,
and then in the remixed one, it's not there. He
just let it drop and then the guy was just
like playing the guitar and the on the convertible, you know,
and the next scene that was weird, the.
Speaker 5 (25:03):
Guitars using this video are amazing like a Rickenbrocker and
then like Avengage les Paul Jr.
Speaker 3 (25:08):
So really good guitars.
Speaker 2 (25:11):
I about the whistling, though, man, twelve takes.
Speaker 3 (25:13):
That's pretty good.
Speaker 5 (25:14):
Man, No, that twelve takes. Twelve dubs, oh, twelve duves.
Twelve duves think yeah, it looks good, means good. I
can't whistle at all, so I always like, yeah, I
always get props to people who could whistle.
Speaker 2 (25:26):
Yeah, I used to struggle back in whistling. I could whistle,
but not that many. I don't know. I'm always out
of tune even when I sing, so I can't really
say because my ears aren't good for those kinds of
things like am I in tune? I think I'm in tune,
but to other people are like, no, you're not. I'm like, I.
Speaker 5 (25:42):
Guess yeah when I was a kid, because I think
because of like the Pinocchio movie, give a little whistle.
Speaker 3 (25:49):
Like I could never whistle ever.
Speaker 5 (25:50):
And they also had like fucked up teeth when I
was a kid too, so they would never like line
up to like whistle. But my mom is like she
could whistle like a mile away, like you could hear
her whistle, which is so loud.
Speaker 2 (26:01):
Those are yeah, those are like I admire those who
can really freaking classic pinkies do that. Oh my god,
how is that even.
Speaker 6 (26:10):
A thing for that or this thing? I could never
do that hold your hands to Oh that can't do
that like the Americans.
Speaker 4 (26:22):
Wind ghosts or something.
Speaker 5 (26:24):
The best I could do is like a blade of
grass and like make it whistle that.
Speaker 2 (26:27):
Yeah, paper, I could do that, blow do that, but.
Speaker 3 (26:31):
I could never do the I could never do that.
Speaker 2 (26:37):
But you know, it's it's it looks like they had
fun filming. This one was good. Like they look they
look like you know, and Marie looks you know, very
Uh it was serpentine in that in that tights.
Speaker 3 (26:48):
They're both beautiful people.
Speaker 4 (26:50):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (26:50):
He always he always reminds me of like like a
lost member of Loving Rockets or something.
Speaker 5 (26:54):
You know, he's got like what's that like metal guitar guy.
He might be from Sweden or Norway. Yahwe mouse he's
got the vibes right, like the like guitar Vibesah. He
even has like a special guitar that has scalloped threts,
so like the threts instead of being flat, they actually
go in because.
Speaker 3 (27:15):
He would like tap a lot. He was like so fast,
Like he's just like you could play classical music on
a guitar, which is crazy.
Speaker 2 (27:21):
It plays like a keyboard then wow.
Speaker 5 (27:24):
So like he gives me those kind of vibes, which
is kind of that's why I more associate that look
with like more early eighties.
Speaker 2 (27:32):
But he looks like a post punk guitarist for sure.
But or something like.
Speaker 5 (27:36):
No, that actually went on longer, you know, like I mean,
come on, like when did Use Your Illusion come out?
Speaker 3 (27:41):
Like in ninetety.
Speaker 2 (27:41):
One, and it was a belt like it was an
amazing year from that magical music.
Speaker 5 (27:48):
And that's like the same year that The sound Guard
one of the sound Guard albums came out to and.
Speaker 2 (27:53):
Bad motor Finger.
Speaker 3 (27:54):
Yeah, so like it's a weird time for music at
that time. Yeah, it's kind of.
Speaker 2 (27:57):
That was when it's like it's really just the alternate
music is just beginning to really get more mainstream.
Speaker 5 (28:02):
That's when alternative music almost kind of turned to like
college radio.
Speaker 2 (28:06):
Yeah, college radio, and then techno electronic music was also
like the rave culture it was also growing.
Speaker 3 (28:12):
That was another big thing.
Speaker 2 (28:13):
So yeah, just ninety one was like a yeah, that
was it.
Speaker 5 (28:16):
Because there was like rave like that was a there's
brave like pirate radio stations.
Speaker 3 (28:20):
Stuff like that too, Like yeah.
Speaker 4 (28:22):
Like peak of.
Speaker 2 (28:24):
There's growing.
Speaker 3 (28:25):
Yeah, it's so crazy. And then it's late.
Speaker 4 (28:28):
It's that you know, it's like a period right like
late eighties, early nineties, like very early.
Speaker 3 (28:32):
Nineties Scottish indie scene.
Speaker 4 (28:34):
They're all like popping.
Speaker 3 (28:35):
Yeah, it's crazy. It's a crazy like a robust time
for music.
Speaker 4 (28:38):
But they hit it right on the head with that
that pop you know, just everybody everybody's you know what
I mean, like they just everybody likes it. You know.
It's like they hit and worldwide too, right, Yeah.
Speaker 3 (28:49):
And multiple songs, which is crazy.
Speaker 5 (28:51):
So I mean they they do like deserve all the kudos.
They made it happen, man, multiple songs.
Speaker 4 (28:57):
That's again, no controversies, that are very just clean.
Speaker 2 (29:00):
Like no even when their touring, you know, it's like, oh,
you know, Marie got brain tremor and that's basically like
the tragedy.
Speaker 5 (29:07):
So how long from when they were like a big
band till she got her brain cancer and they had
a stole.
Speaker 2 (29:12):
She got diagnosed in two thousand and.
Speaker 3 (29:14):
One, Okay, so it was a couple of years. It
was years after that.
Speaker 4 (29:17):
Years after the way into twenty nineteen.
Speaker 2 (29:19):
Right, yeah, so she you know, for a while they
were at hiatus when she's dealt with this, and then
they had a reunion tour and like a big massive
tour too in like two thousand and nine, and then yeah,
like I guess twenty was it when she died twenty eighteen. Yeah,
I mean they were still active. They were going concert
by the ad Like, it just gets to a point
you just can't really do that anymore. I mean, I
(29:39):
can't even imagine how that would even feel.
Speaker 4 (29:41):
I mean, I'm kind of you could only just do
what you love, right, I mean until at the very end,
because I mean I don't know what they were going through.
Speaker 2 (29:48):
I'm just saying I think they're still touring though, Like
I mean, they have a new singer, singer per still planned.
But yeah, you know this music video that they had
some good vibes to it for sure, but yeah.
Speaker 5 (30:03):
But yeah, yeah, but it was just like that's the
thing is, it's nothing really stays with you, you know.
Speaker 4 (30:11):
I think really both this song and the actual video
and actual.
Speaker 2 (30:15):
Video to me, at least with the look, even though
it's a it's a very late eighties music video. The
thing that stayed with me without was Marie playing on
a toilet. You're sitting down on a toilet.
Speaker 3 (30:25):
She's playing guitar.
Speaker 2 (30:26):
You're playing guitar, but she was singing that on that part.
Speaker 3 (30:28):
But You Got the Look is a way bigger song
over here.
Speaker 2 (30:32):
Oh yeah, right. The thing was Jory I hit number one,
He's the only one that hit number Yeah, but the
Look seems to have a more lasting impact.
Speaker 5 (30:39):
Now, Yeah, you hear that all the time, Like that's
I hear that You got the Yeah, that's everywhere.
Speaker 2 (30:46):
I'm sure like cosmetics use that exactly commercial.
Speaker 5 (30:49):
And it's also like a dance song too, you look.
You Got the Look is a does it have a
digital like drum.
Speaker 2 (30:54):
Digital drums like an electronic drum?
Speaker 3 (30:56):
Yea, yeah, drums.
Speaker 5 (30:57):
It's more of a dance song, right, You got to
look because you can pay out a club where this
son it's kind of you can't really play at the club.
Speaker 3 (31:02):
This is more of a rock song, right.
Speaker 2 (31:04):
No, you can't enjoy is A. That's a that's a
tough ask for your audience.
Speaker 4 (31:09):
I think you're right adult contemporary, Yeah.
Speaker 2 (31:11):
Yeah, yeah. If you play the Look at an eighties club,
you know where they Yeah, people would, people would jam.
Speaker 4 (31:17):
I can see that.
Speaker 3 (31:17):
Yeah, I could see myself mixing that with like a
print song or something.
Speaker 2 (31:20):
Yeah, sure, yeah, yeah, definitely more than joy Ride even
all Dangerous, right, that's you know that song dangerous. She's
a little bit dangerous.
Speaker 4 (31:31):
No, no, it's a hit too, but I don't really remember.
Speaker 2 (31:36):
I remember that, but the look is a better song.
But it's to me, it's like number to me, it's
like that song number four next to joy right as
far as like my favorite rock set songs.
Speaker 3 (31:46):
But that's the thing too.
Speaker 5 (31:47):
They have a lot of songs that could be in commercials.
That's the thing, you know, which is wild.
Speaker 4 (31:51):
I think that's the very definition of pop, right, like yeah,
you know, like it can be. It's it could be
played any on anything and anywhere. And again, unfortunately it's
just something that's not it's even impression. Eh No, it's
hard to judge. I'm thinking about it from different angles,
you know.
Speaker 2 (32:07):
Yeah, just I think they just it just got upstaged
by their other hits. You know, Joy's not a bad song.
Speaker 5 (32:13):
And also it's like with pop songs, big pop songs
usually the videos have a crazy impact on you when
there's like this crazy choreographed thing to them, like let's
say Michael Jackson Janet Jackson, you know, like when you attached,
like yeah, this like whole big and if you're snality
to it, this is a big pop song that you know,
the pop rock song, and it's just them, you know,
(32:35):
kind of behind the screen screen a lot of the time,
you know, so it really doesn't really have that impact
that those other American pop acts are doing, you know,
with the big things.
Speaker 3 (32:43):
You know, the so I could see.
Speaker 4 (32:46):
There's no narrative, there's no like central focus. It's really
just them two together kind of vibing that shoulders and
shoulder kind.
Speaker 2 (32:52):
Of yeah, you know exactly how would you compare this
to New Shoes the music video with different new Shoes?
Speaker 4 (32:56):
But even that is cool with the effects to stop
most I had that.
Speaker 2 (33:01):
But yeah, like I mean they had you know, this
video had effects you with the green screens, you know,
But it's not as choreographed as as the other song.
Speaker 3 (33:10):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (33:10):
Yeah, Like it's another like yeah, like a duo to
guy girl thing and uh and.
Speaker 5 (33:16):
That's another song that's another dance song too, Yeah, where
this is more of a rock song than.
Speaker 3 (33:20):
A dance song, you know, the top rock. Yeah, pop
rock that was a big.
Speaker 5 (33:24):
Thing in like the late eighties early nineties is like
you know, people were going to clubs and dancing, you know,
and so you.
Speaker 4 (33:31):
Can cross over right crossover, Yeah.
Speaker 2 (33:33):
You can have a big hit like EMF crossed overlable right.
Speaker 3 (33:43):
I love that video. When I was a kid man,
I a skateboard. I have that, like he was a
running man.
Speaker 2 (33:48):
Well he's the keyboardards dude.
Speaker 5 (33:51):
I remember I recorded that. I recorded that song off
of like kiss a fam or something. It was like,
so you cut off the beginning and like cut off
the ending. You've been that part that, oh yeah, and
then I would just like record it. I mean just
listen to it over and over again, recorded from the
from the radio So good.
Speaker 2 (34:10):
I had a good guitar solo to it.
Speaker 4 (34:13):
Album, the whole album listened to. Yeah he's good.
Speaker 5 (34:16):
Yeah it's good. And check it out that album I
listened to recently. And then Jesus Jones too.
Speaker 3 (34:21):
Oh yeah, yeah, Jesus album.
Speaker 2 (34:24):
You had the Doubt album.
Speaker 4 (34:26):
So good.
Speaker 2 (34:26):
That band is so good. Okay, we'll be right back
for notable YouTube comments. Okay, guys, it's time for the
notable YouTube comments. Okay at Rash seven one eighty six says,
you know you're good when you could put whistling and
(34:47):
whispering the name of your band in a song and
still be an absolute banger. Because there's a part in
there where she has rock.
Speaker 3 (34:53):
Seat Yeah who says it?
Speaker 4 (34:55):
Who says it?
Speaker 2 (34:55):
Both of them did, right.
Speaker 3 (34:57):
So yeah yeah at the beginning of the song, right.
Speaker 2 (34:59):
I think it's yeah. I didn't catch that until I was,
you know, watching his music video. Pama Schall five four
four zero says, rest in peace, sweet Marie. This video
made me a lifelong van when I saw this as
a thirteen year old boy on a TV screen Throw
a shop window classic, right, I was immediately hooked. At
(35:20):
that age. This was magic to me. I was really
thinking that they were sitting on the wing of a plane.
Now I know what a blue screen is, but this
hasn't changed my love for this video. I follow rock
Shead my whole life and have bought all their albums.
I will miss them, I will miss Marie. That's great
that this is a nice whole song. Comment there at
(35:40):
dingas Pool says, this is such a gut punch rock
set is one of the first songs I can remember
listening to as a child. Always loved hearing any rock
seat song play since then, Rest in peace, Marie. If
there's a heavens, she's playing a concert with David Bowie,
George Michael, Freddie Mercury and Laura Brannigan, all friends of
our podcasts.
Speaker 4 (35:58):
Who's great?
Speaker 2 (36:00):
And finally, Cinco de Mayo fan says they were the
perfect blend of pop and rock and had two really cool,
charismatic singers. Agreed they only had a few years of
success in the United States, but a few years ago
I listened to a lot of our later work and
it's great. Even in twenty tens, they were still releasing
good music.
Speaker 4 (36:19):
That's cool, man, Well, because they did release a lot
of album Yeah.
Speaker 2 (36:23):
They were active since before you know, pre COVID. But
I mean they're still touring as with a different rock
set with a different singer now, of course. But yeah,
so joy Ride Rock Seid, would you keep it or
would you throw it back? Since the requester wanted us
to use a scale of ten, you can keep it
or throw it back and then throw out your score
(36:44):
in there.
Speaker 4 (36:45):
I'm just gonna offer to scale of one through ten. Okay, right, well,
because I have too much respect for the band, and
you know, I think they knew how to formulate a
very successful pop song, and I think that's that's quite
a talent, you know, and they've made a lasting depression
on music history.
Speaker 2 (37:01):
I would say millions millions of they're love. They're loved internationally.
Speaker 4 (37:05):
That's crazy and rightfully so, they're great. There's no problem there.
It's not my cup of team necessarily, but they I
love their hits. Man, their hits are good. But let's
see video wise, in the song in particular, I think
we've kind of beat this to, you know, as much
as we can. Not necessarily their best. I would probably
if I was going to go for one through ten
(37:26):
scale ten being the best, I would go with like
six probably would be my judgment on them. That's it judgmental, right,
Like who was pre judging? That's guilty.
Speaker 5 (37:40):
If we're going with the reissue video, the updated one,
I think I'm going for like a six. But if
we're going for the video one, I think I'm going
more for like a five. I'm gonna go back to
our classic. I'm keeping this. This is a good video.
I think the song in the video, like you know,
they're all in on it, you know, and that's that's
kind of like a thing.
Speaker 3 (38:00):
You guys are all in on it. Let's do it.
You know.
Speaker 5 (38:02):
The thing about the reissue when when they're when they're
both like models. Man, when they're doing the model poses,
it's so good, you know, like when they're by the
you know, when they're doing their separate ones at the bus.
Speaker 2 (38:13):
Looking cool on the plane. Yeah, looking cool playing the
guitar and the corvette. I mean, come on, rocks rocks
like the Sweetish Yeah. So no, Swedish, totally a keeper.
Speaker 4 (38:22):
They are a perfect kind of you know, looks wise
because they got they got the sound.
Speaker 2 (38:28):
They even call their album look Sharp because they look sharp.
As for me, I mean, okay, as far as I'm
putting a numeric score of once through ten, I will
put both. Well. I would I actually like the original
video better than the remastered one, so I would put
a seven on the you know, on the original video
with the monkey, because I don't know, I dig that.
Speaker 4 (38:49):
Man.
Speaker 2 (38:49):
It's like ninetiesy, like monkeys would just throw everything in
the in the kitchen, you know, in the kitchen saying
see what sticks or whatever whatever, it's saying goes and
and this and the seven one. It just felt a
little more ordinary. It's cleaner, it looks nicer.
Speaker 3 (39:03):
You know.
Speaker 2 (39:04):
You can see the curve lines of Marie. You know,
it's like slithering around like dancing like a like a
hair hair and girl. But n but I don't know,
like I just I kind of like the just the
kitsch of the o G. So but I'm giving the
I'm giving the remaster at five.
Speaker 5 (39:22):
I think the spins of the of the city in
the original, like like like cross Eye, it's like it's
too much like overload.
Speaker 2 (39:30):
That's true, they really, I mean that was an arrow
where they were just like if they found these new
tricks on their cameras and it's like, oh, let's do this.
Yeah you know, and that's before the days of drone footage.
Speaker 3 (39:41):
So yeah, it's like you can tell it's like a helicopter.
Speaker 2 (39:44):
They literally shot the helicopter like in T two and
starts spinning around.
Speaker 4 (39:50):
So okay, six seven.
Speaker 2 (39:55):
Yeah, So I mean, we we like it. We like

that E MF did a commercial for cheese. It's for
like Craft cheese or something, but it's crumbled cheese, right,
so it's in a bad crumbled cheese like it's all,
you know, just crush cheese and you just put it
on your salad or whatever instead of shredded. It's crumbled cheese.
So they use their song called It's crumb Believable. I'm like,

When I saw that.
Speaker 4 (41:53):
Commercial and it's him saying anything, I really.

we do offer them. So if you have a request,
well my music video, not your bands or your local
Yeah we.
Speaker 3 (00:55):
Got all your band videos, but now we can't.
Speaker 2 (00:57):
We would deny those like any insurance company.
Speaker 4 (01:02):
Well maybe it's time to open up to anybody at
this point, let's do Let's.
Speaker 3 (01:07):
Keep it throwback.
Speaker 2 (01:08):
So yeah, you know, I'm gonna keep it somewhat poppy
and well known. So joy Ride is a song by
Swedish pop duo rock Set. It was released on February
twenty five. Nice This is Like Last Week Right twenty five,
nineteen ninety one, by Emi, as the lead single from
the third studio album joy Ride. It became one of
rock Seat's biggest hits and was one of the most
successful singles of nineteen ninety one, topping multiple record trucks
(01:31):
across Europe as well as in Australia, Canada and the
United States.
Speaker 5 (01:35):
One question, guys, if I asked you when this is
a song without, would you guess nineteen ninety one or
would you guess like nineteen eighty six?
Speaker 2 (01:42):
I would have guessed ninety eight.
Speaker 1 (01:44):
I was.
Speaker 3 (01:45):
I was there, like eighties right now.
Speaker 5 (01:47):
It was one right, It's so crazy, I could I
really thought this was like an eighties.
Speaker 2 (01:51):
Song when I remember the radio when they actually debuted
it on Kiss Fan.
Speaker 5 (01:56):
But I guess like nineties every year, every time there's
like a change in Cold true, like it takes like
two years through the years. So like Nirvana didn't come
till like ninety you know five, you know or something
ninety four, So it was ninety one.
Speaker 2 (02:08):
Actually when they broke through too, wasn't it their first?
Speaker 3 (02:10):
That was Bleach though that.
Speaker 2 (02:11):
Wasn't no Bleach was eighty nine, ninety one was uh yeah,
never mind.
Speaker 3 (02:15):
So ninety one was never Mind Enjoy Ride.
Speaker 2 (02:19):
Oh yeah, I know that viot the same. I know
when I bought those singles singles for never Mind Enjoy Enjoy.
Speaker 3 (02:26):
Right, Yeah.
Speaker 5 (02:27):
I didn't buy a Nirvana album until in Utero and
that's like ninety five.
Speaker 2 (02:31):
It's ninety five, yeah, yeah, yeah, around that ten. So
the songs accompanying music video directed by Doug Friel, received
heavy rotation in MTV Europe and it currently has sixty
seven million views on YouTube, while the remastered version as
twenty three million views.
Speaker 4 (02:46):
Wow for combined almost one hundred there.
Speaker 5 (02:49):
What should do you guys enjoy better? The remastered version
or the original with the monkeys.
Speaker 2 (02:53):
I find the original one better.
Speaker 4 (02:54):
It's a little bit more of the time. I think
the og one with the.
Speaker 2 (02:58):
Monkeys, Yeah, but like but that was a choice though,
to get rid of the those and catching the guitar.
Speaker 4 (03:04):
There a few there's a few tweaks.
Speaker 5 (03:06):
Yeah, I think there wasn't as much spinning in the
newer one. The old one had like a lot of
the spinning of the cities and it's like it's almost
like it makes you kind of blind because they're sitting
You almost kind of lose them in the spinning in
the original one while the green screen because there's so
much happening in the background and they're sitting on the Ferrari.
Speaker 3 (03:22):
Yeah, and you kind of start to lose them in
the background.
Speaker 4 (03:25):
Yeah. The clean ones pretty straightforward.
Speaker 2 (03:27):
Yeah, I think because they probably can get h D
footage of the actual back spinning background because they were
probably shot on I don't know, like a low resolution
film or something or videotape even so, like when they
restored it, I'm like, now, let's just stretch out as
many footage of them, some b rolls of them being
driven around.
Speaker 3 (03:44):
Yeah.
Speaker 5 (03:45):
So yeah, and it looks a little better when they're
actually driven around in the Ferrari.
Speaker 2 (03:49):
I mean it's yeah, it's it's it's a more of
I guess updated version.
Speaker 4 (03:53):
Ye. I'll trust Louis with the car.
Speaker 5 (03:57):
Because it says in the video like Ferrari. I mean,
it says on the Wikipedia it.
Speaker 4 (04:03):
Wasn't like a sob of a bulbosh.
Speaker 3 (04:06):
I read somewhere that it was a Ferrari. That's why
I do you.
Speaker 2 (04:10):
Know that my glasses are made by Ferrari.
Speaker 4 (04:12):
I saw the little little horses right there.
Speaker 3 (04:14):
Did you earn just for the rocks?
Speaker 2 (04:15):
Yes, exactly for this occasion. Okay, guys, so what's your history?
You would rock Set or joy Ride or both?
Speaker 4 (04:22):
Nothing much but just the hits. I mean I knew
all the hits. I was already well aware of what
was happening and during that time when they came out
of one in the eighties, right, I'm sure like they
had a early late eighties late eighties like the Women,
and but that's the song that I like, must have
been love. I like that song and I was heard
everywhere to He's still still going strong with that one, ye,
more so than this song. But this was pretty women, right,
(04:46):
that was one of the songs. I just watched they
other night. But yeah, it's the footage of the movie.
Speaker 3 (04:50):
I feel.
Speaker 5 (04:51):
But by that time, I was already like deep in
like Tribe cult Quests.
Speaker 4 (04:54):
Yeah exactly, but it's still being played so much. I
hear tree stores or like department stores at the mall everywhere.
But it's kind of like still today. But I never
really got into them, not really. I mean, sure, we're
gonna talk about this in a little bit, but I.
Speaker 3 (05:10):
Like to think that my mom would listen to Yeah, it's.
Speaker 4 (05:13):
Pretty plain, right, nothing too exciting or memorable, but the
songs are good. I mean, I can't argue with saying
that my.
Speaker 3 (05:20):
Mom bad music. It just seemed like it was like
ot of like adult contemporary, adult contemporary, like women's singer.
Speaker 4 (05:27):
There's no edge, I think, is what I'm trying to say. Yeah,
very little, very little.
Speaker 2 (05:31):
The guitars were pretty kicking though, Like upon looking back, yeah.
Speaker 4 (05:35):
And again it's not bad, nothing against it, but it's
not something that made me kind of you know, like
seek it more than than I did.
Speaker 3 (05:42):
You know, then what radio station would this be played on?
Speaker 4 (05:45):
Back?
Speaker 3 (05:45):
Like it was? It wasn't on K rock, right, No,
Kiss Kiss Wild?
Speaker 2 (05:49):
Play this any pop station really, you know? And then
that's kind of how they got their first exposure, right yeah,
because they got the was it the look, got the
look it got dangerous.
Speaker 5 (06:00):
I think the look I was more into than anything
that was a that's a jam.
Speaker 4 (06:04):
Yeah. No, they know how to write a song, man,
that's the thing. They know. They've got the formula down,
you know what I mean? I mean every single song
really just.
Speaker 2 (06:11):
Is they're brilliant musicians or right, I mean they've been
jamming since like the late seventies.
Speaker 3 (06:15):
What's the classic Swedish pop?
Speaker 1 (06:17):
Right?
Speaker 4 (06:17):
Yeah, sets are really good with their pop. How about
you guys. You guys were big fans, right, the T
shirts and the posters and the like.
Speaker 5 (06:26):
Like I said, I I think I saw this. That's
kind of like, oh my, probably my moms or my
aunts listen to this, and I'm already into fucking cross
colors and trive called.
Speaker 3 (06:36):
Questions like moved on, I'm done with this soul.
Speaker 5 (06:41):
Arrest in development, Like I'm already signed up, you know,
That's right.
Speaker 2 (06:46):
I was in I was in my schedule phase around.
Speaker 3 (06:48):
I was trying to be good at basketball.
Speaker 4 (06:52):
Had the airbrush overall.
Speaker 3 (06:55):
I've never had that.
Speaker 5 (06:56):
I would never bring up to Living Color on Sundays.
I never had airbrushed overalls. And I never wore like
an African medallion. There's like there was a lot of
Mexican slash German kids that were the that kind of stuff.
But I had a peace sign, a little small peace
sign specifically yeah, you know, continents, no continents, no Motherland.
(07:20):
At that time, I had one pair of cross color
Excite that's all I could afford with my school money,
and like a T shirt but everything else was like
I think I couldn't afford anything.
Speaker 3 (07:31):
I think my dad bought me.
Speaker 5 (07:32):
He couldn't afford We couldn't afford nikes, but I got
Rebox blacktops.
Speaker 2 (07:37):
It from the swap meet that you said five bucks
per shoes or.
Speaker 3 (07:40):
No, I don episode No, no, I would get my
shoes from like probably.
Speaker 4 (07:44):
It was TJ Max coming up at that time, right.
Speaker 3 (07:46):
No, I think I got them at j C.
Speaker 2 (07:48):
Pennies wasn't working.
Speaker 5 (07:55):
But no, I was like, you know, poor kid, so
like I had him make stuff happen, you know, like
so I wasn't able to be full daisy core, but
I tried my.
Speaker 3 (08:06):
Best, you know.
Speaker 2 (08:07):
So when Louie got it all together, here comes the
rock seat. He's got the look. The look.
Speaker 3 (08:14):
You know.
Speaker 5 (08:15):
What's funny is like there's no pictures of me from
that time because I would I just did not want
to be in a picture.
Speaker 3 (08:21):
You can barely find a picture of me.
Speaker 2 (08:23):
He's a crypto.
Speaker 4 (08:25):
Yeah. By the way, do you regret not having pictures
at a certain moments? I kind of do me too,
especially now.
Speaker 6 (08:30):
Yeah.
Speaker 5 (08:30):
No, I'm like I wish I had like I did
where I had some oshbosh oshkosh b gosh overall, because
I wanted to be like fucking Tennessee, you know, I
wanted to be in rest in development, and I would
wear one down, you know, and I'm like, I wish
I had because those are cool overall, Like I wish
I had a picture with them.
Speaker 3 (08:46):
But I was like I was so self conscious and junior.
Speaker 4 (08:49):
Yeahunders you know how occasionally we'll like start text chaining
and it's like old pictures that you found out cleaning up,
you know what I mean, Like, right, that's fun. Right, Oh,
I forgot about that happened.
Speaker 3 (09:00):
But they're all high school.
Speaker 4 (09:01):
There's junior highways, high school like early adult years, you know.
Speaker 3 (09:05):
There's no rock set years.
Speaker 4 (09:06):
No, no, no, yeah.
Speaker 2 (09:08):
Well, first of all, I was like, we didn't have
money for a film, to pay for film getting. We
didn't have a camera yet. I didn't even own a camera.
Speaker 4 (09:15):
So no I would That was the era of disposables, though, yeah, I.
Speaker 5 (09:18):
Would buy a disposable, but then I could never afford
to develop them. And then like there's one like around
this time, I'm like, you know what, I'm going to
be a fucking director. So I bought myself a disposable
camera for like five dollars to save up my money,
and I got like all these like dinosaur toys, and
I built like this whole like scene and I was
taking like pictures and I was.
Speaker 3 (09:38):
Going to like like, oh, this could be like a movie,
you know. And I never developed them.
Speaker 2 (09:43):
Nothing happened.
Speaker 3 (09:44):
I couldn't afford to develop them. I didn't do anything
with that. What am I gonna do?
Speaker 5 (09:49):
Right, I'm not fucking Steven Spielberg but not buying me
a camera, you know?
Speaker 3 (09:55):
And yeah, you have these weird dreams. And then I'm like, nope,
I'm just going back to Tennessee.
Speaker 4 (10:03):
How about you?
Speaker 2 (10:05):
Rock set? I mean, yeah, I've heard she's got to
look dangerous? You know, what's the other ballad that they did?
Besides it must have been love? You didn't have this
or I never bought a Rossett record in my life.
Speaker 3 (10:14):
But I mean, you're kind of more metal coded I was.
Speaker 2 (10:17):
I was, I was beginning to transition into into that,
like the guitar very guitar bass.
Speaker 4 (10:22):
Did you guys ever buy the albums like a thrift
stores and rock set? No?
Speaker 2 (10:25):
I would. I wouldn't if I found if I find
a record of rock set. I'll buy it, you know,
in the thrift store that is, but I won't pay
like Target prices for it.
Speaker 5 (10:33):
Target like thirty three dollars for us. You know that's
that's especially today, right, you know, no Target today.
Speaker 2 (10:39):
No Target today, No by no by Friday.
Speaker 3 (10:43):
No, I don't remember.
Speaker 5 (10:44):
I think maybe tapes I saw this, but yeah, tons
of I mean they the guitar tones fucking rule on
all their albums. Yeah, they're fucking rocket now, you know.
And it's like the Rickenbacker that he's using.
Speaker 3 (10:55):
On this video. If I had that, you just dropping,
I would I would rule the world. I would to
drop it out of a plane. I don't know.
Speaker 2 (11:02):
Despite me being all edgy and getting you know, becoming
a hormonal, rebellious teenager, I never thought of rocks Head
was like all they suck.
Speaker 5 (11:09):
Or especially with that like the singer what's her name, Marie,
she's like a goddess.
Speaker 3 (11:14):
She's beautiful, like you know. But you know what's funny
is which is also weird.
Speaker 5 (11:21):
It's also funny is my mom had the same exact
haircut at that time of her Oh she had.
Speaker 2 (11:26):
A short hair and that's always I remember.
Speaker 3 (11:29):
And she would like bleach blonded. So maybe that's one
of the reasons why I was not into her, because
I was like, she looks like my mid you know,
like my mom did. Was she had rocks Head vibes.
Speaker 2 (11:40):
You know, she's got the looks.
Speaker 3 (11:43):
Just look trust me.
Speaker 4 (11:46):
That's funny.
Speaker 2 (11:47):
So like, maybe listen to your hearts, you listen to you.
Speaker 3 (11:53):
They had a lot of jams. I don't know where
I'm going.
Speaker 5 (11:59):
All right, I can just go on for It's crazy
that you know all the lyrics to all their songs,
but never.
Speaker 2 (12:06):
Because they were like your head. Everywhere they got they
were got played because yeah they were radio friendly, and
I mean I didn't even know they freaking did a
whole Spanish album of their ballads and.
Speaker 5 (12:17):
Earlier, well every save on while I'm trying to think
camart you would go to in the nineties, they would
they be playing it, Yeah Smiths or.
Speaker 3 (12:27):
Gamco.
Speaker 2 (12:28):
But yeah, Rock said they were a crucial part. Not crucial,
but they were a background music of our time back
in Ealy Night.
Speaker 4 (12:34):
It does take you back to those moments.
Speaker 2 (12:37):
Granted though, joy Ride came out and I actually considered
this the lesser of their you know, gallery of hits
this is their least this is my least favorite of them.
Speaker 3 (12:46):
Well, this is this is like not a ballot. There're
other ones are kind of ballots.
Speaker 2 (12:48):
Well it's not not ballads.
Speaker 5 (12:49):
I'm saying they're actually just like spot but like a
ballot will like hit you harder, and it's usually using
films and movies and stuff like where this is kind
of like they're pop, straight up pop rock one.
Speaker 3 (12:59):
You know, so I can see why.
Speaker 4 (13:00):
It's like, yeah, I didn't really feel this one as
much as the other earlier songs.
Speaker 5 (13:03):
I just remember this from like commercials and stuff like that,
like car commercials and different things like that.
Speaker 2 (13:08):
Yeah, yeah, and yeah they love putting pop songs and
car commercials back in the nights, right.
Speaker 4 (13:13):
Right, Yeah, that's it. So it is sign sealed.
Speaker 2 (13:15):
Remember that it was your favorite car commercial?
Speaker 4 (13:18):
Could stop? Yeah, they just hammer it right. Oh my god,
I can't take any.
Speaker 2 (13:26):
Okay, we'll be right back for some pop quiz. Good guys,
time for the pop quiz. All right, six questions and
the lightning round. Okay, so question number one, you know, okay,
question number one. This Cheeky Name Record Studio in Almstad,
(13:46):

back then, like you can imagine, like Marie's like, let's go,
let's go record your okay. Second question. As the first
non English speaking band to perform at MTV Unplugged, rock
(14:39):
Set played Almost Unreal, a song from this nineteen ninety
three movie soundtrack, Okay A the Pelican Brief, b Super

Speaker 3 (15:01):
What song is it? They dodn't say the.
Speaker 2 (15:02):
Song almost Unreal? I never heard this song.

I'm gonna say sleep is the Seattle Louis.
Speaker 2 (15:07):
You're both wrong, it is super Mario brother. What's the
John Leguizao classic?
Speaker 4 (15:15):
Was it?
Speaker 3 (15:16):
Bob Hoskins Classic? Italian?
Speaker 4 (15:20):
Wait a minute, Wait a minute. They're saying that they're
non speaking, non English speaking.
Speaker 2 (15:25):
English speaking, non English speaking, as far as like they're
not I guess they're not from America.
Speaker 4 (15:28):
Yeah, because they speak English.
Speaker 2 (15:30):
Yeah, they're not native English, yotting.
Speaker 5 (15:32):

Speaker 4 (16:48):
What was what's the first two? Again?
Speaker 2 (16:51):
Roxy Music is A and B is Leonard Cohen Leonard Cohen,
So you both say Leonard Cohen, You're both wrong. Leonard
Cohen sang the song This is a Mercy, which the
band Sis Is Mercy took in as their name. So like,
basically like these bands that I named had a song
that other other people took as their band name. So
Roxy Music named late as a song called Lady Tron. Yeah,
(17:13):
so I like that one. Hawkwind was Motorhead.
Speaker 3 (17:16):
So it took that name Hawkwind.
Speaker 2 (17:18):
Yeah. So and then Doctor feel Good is a song
called the rock Sead.
Speaker 5 (17:23):
So see, I would have took all the other ones
before I thought I took Doctor feel Good. Yeah.

They're right, That's where I started.
Speaker 3 (21:47):
Yeah, they're trust this guy.
Speaker 2 (21:50):
Bonus question. Ab Okay, guys, stop with the music video
for joy Ride.
Speaker 5 (21:57):
Well, it's funny, It's like it has some of the
stuff that I like with music video where they're like
really on the car in the middle of the desert.
Speaker 3 (22:05):
I always love those ones. You know, there's the clash,
there's a lot of good. You know. Depeche Bone has
a lot.
Speaker 4 (22:09):
Of good in the desert.
Speaker 2 (22:11):
Yeah, yeah, yeah, the damned particular, Yeah, the damned one.
They're in the desert.
Speaker 5 (22:15):
But when the green screen comes in, I'm just like,
it takes me out of it. Man, I'm so bummed out,
you know, because even when she's like dancing around the
bus and then he's like kind of hanging on the
bus with the guitar, I'm like, this is good, you know,
they're doing some stuff, but then he goes to the
green screen and I'm just like so bummed.
Speaker 3 (22:32):
The thing kills me. Man.
Speaker 2 (22:34):
You don't like it, huh, I don't know.
Speaker 4 (22:35):
I don't think they talk a little bit about what's there.
The song is based on what his Lennon and Paul McCartney's,
I mean, at least a title, right, how they make songs.
It's like a joy, right.
Speaker 3 (22:46):
Right, Yeah, he says that writing songs with.
Speaker 4 (22:48):
Him, but it's kind of literal in this sense though, right,
like they're just they're on a joy, right, having a
good time all over the world, and particularly like I
guess the cities in the it stays.
Speaker 2 (22:59):
Right right, they're during the wing of a plane, you know,
like the Gremlin and tilt freaking out, was.
Speaker 5 (23:08):
Pulling out wires rights, freaking out that he was going
he breaks the glass, remember how he like flies away.
Speaker 3 (23:20):
And then John Lickwell did it in the eighties remake.
Speaker 2 (23:23):
I mean, it's it's a lot of that, just really
having fun.
Speaker 3 (23:26):
Getting a Ferrari is always cool. That's a beautiful car.
Speaker 2 (23:30):
Yeah, that's a slick.
Speaker 3 (23:33):
Like bus was awesome.
Speaker 2 (23:34):
Yeah, that's a tour bus, right, that's a classic tour bus.
I hope the ac is really good on that soccer
because they're in that they're in that freaking desert and
you know, if you saw True Detective season two, you
don't want to be on that desert.
Speaker 4 (23:47):
Well, I mean not really, not too many things happen, right,
I don't even understand that.
Speaker 2 (23:51):
And yeah that yeah, that's just like on the original Yeah,
on the original video. They so there's you know, like
that's re explain for the audience. Like there's two versions.
There's the original version and the remastered version. The remastered
version did away with the monkey, the monkey, the carousel, Yeah,
(24:11):
the carousel, carnival set backdrops. They did away with that
and the the spinning city scapes too, right.
Speaker 7 (24:17):
Yeah, So I think what I was anything that was
kind of low resy because those look lo res even
though they're in lowres, so like the couldn't make it, Yeah,
they couldn't make it high.
Speaker 3 (24:29):
So it just looked really bad.
Speaker 2 (24:30):
Yeah, so it's like, yeah, that's just you know, extend
some good high def burole that we took from you know,
the Desert can. I just expanded.
Speaker 3 (24:38):
It looks good. It looks really good. When we watched
the other one, I was like, oh wow, this is
like jarring. Yeah it was.
Speaker 2 (24:42):
Yeah, it was definitely jarring. And yeah, like we missed
the part too because I remember when I first saw
this music video, like when he dropped the guitar from
the plane when you're playing, I remember him catching it,
and then in the remixed one, it's not there. He
just let it drop and then the guy was just
like playing the guitar and the on the convertible, you know,
and the next scene that was weird, the.
Speaker 5 (25:03):
Guitars using this video are amazing like a Rickenbrocker and
then like Avengage les Paul Jr.
Speaker 3 (25:08):
So really good guitars.
Speaker 2 (25:11):
I about the whistling, though, man, twelve takes.
Speaker 3 (25:13):
That's pretty good.
Speaker 5 (25:14):
Man, No, that twelve takes. Twelve dubs, oh, twelve duves.
Twelve duves think yeah, it looks good, means good. I
can't whistle at all, so I always like, yeah, I
always get props to people who could whistle.
Speaker 2 (25:26):
Yeah, I used to struggle back in whistling. I could whistle,
but not that many. I don't know. I'm always out
of tune even when I sing, so I can't really
say because my ears aren't good for those kinds of
things like am I in tune? I think I'm in tune,
but to other people are like, no, you're not. I'm like, I.
Speaker 5 (25:42):
Guess yeah when I was a kid, because I think
because of like the Pinocchio movie, give a little whistle.
Speaker 3 (25:49):
Like I could never whistle ever.
Speaker 5 (25:50):
And they also had like fucked up teeth when I
was a kid too, so they would never like line
up to like whistle. But my mom is like she
could whistle like a mile away, like you could hear
her whistle, which is so loud.
Speaker 2 (26:01):
Those are yeah, those are like I admire those who
can really freaking classic pinkies do that. Oh my god,
how is that even.
Speaker 6 (26:10):
A thing for that or this thing? I could never
do that hold your hands to Oh that can't do
that like the Americans.
Speaker 4 (26:22):
Wind ghosts or something.
Speaker 5 (26:24):
The best I could do is like a blade of
grass and like make it whistle that.
Speaker 2 (26:27):
Yeah, paper, I could do that, blow do that, but.
Speaker 3 (26:31):
I could never do the I could never do that.
Speaker 2 (26:37):
But you know, it's it's it looks like they had
fun filming. This one was good. Like they look they
look like you know, and Marie looks you know, very
Uh it was serpentine in that in that tights.
Speaker 3 (26:48):
They're both beautiful people.
Speaker 4 (26:50):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (26:50):
He always he always reminds me of like like a
lost member of Loving Rockets or something.
Speaker 5 (26:54):
You know, he's got like what's that like metal guitar guy.
He might be from Sweden or Norway. Yahwe mouse he's
got the vibes right, like the like guitar Vibesah. He
even has like a special guitar that has scalloped threts,
so like the threts instead of being flat, they actually
go in because.
Speaker 3 (27:15):
He would like tap a lot. He was like so fast,
Like he's just like you could play classical music on
a guitar, which is crazy.
Speaker 2 (27:21):
It plays like a keyboard then wow.
Speaker 5 (27:24):
So like he gives me those kind of vibes, which
is kind of that's why I more associate that look
with like more early eighties.
Speaker 2 (27:32):
But he looks like a post punk guitarist for sure.
But or something like.
Speaker 5 (27:36):
No, that actually went on longer, you know, like I mean,
come on, like when did Use Your Illusion come out?
Speaker 3 (27:41):
Like in ninetety.
Speaker 2 (27:41):
One, and it was a belt like it was an
amazing year from that magical music.
Speaker 5 (27:48):
And that's like the same year that The sound Guard
one of the sound Guard albums came out to and.
Speaker 2 (27:53):
Bad motor Finger.
Speaker 3 (27:54):
Yeah, so like it's a weird time for music at
that time. Yeah, it's kind of.
Speaker 2 (27:57):
That was when it's like it's really just the alternate
music is just beginning to really get more mainstream.
Speaker 5 (28:02):
That's when alternative music almost kind of turned to like
college radio.
Speaker 2 (28:06):
Yeah, college radio, and then techno electronic music was also
like the rave culture it was also growing.
Speaker 3 (28:12):
That was another big thing.
Speaker 2 (28:13):
So yeah, just ninety one was like a yeah, that
was it.
Speaker 5 (28:16):
Because there was like rave like that was a there's
brave like pirate radio stations.
Speaker 3 (28:20):
Stuff like that too, Like yeah.
Speaker 4 (28:22):
Like peak of.
Speaker 2 (28:24):
There's growing.
Speaker 3 (28:25):
Yeah, it's so crazy. And then it's late.
Speaker 4 (28:28):
It's that you know, it's like a period right like
late eighties, early nineties, like very early.
Speaker 3 (28:32):
Nineties Scottish indie scene.
Speaker 4 (28:34):
They're all like popping.
Speaker 3 (28:35):
Yeah, it's crazy. It's a crazy like a robust time
for music.
Speaker 4 (28:38):
But they hit it right on the head with that
that pop you know, just everybody everybody's you know what
I mean, like they just everybody likes it. You know.
It's like they hit and worldwide too, right, Yeah.
Speaker 3 (28:49):
And multiple songs, which is crazy.
Speaker 5 (28:51):
So I mean they they do like deserve all the kudos.
They made it happen, man, multiple songs.
Speaker 4 (28:57):
That's again, no controversies, that are very just clean.
Speaker 2 (29:00):
Like no even when their touring, you know, it's like, oh,
you know, Marie got brain tremor and that's basically like
the tragedy.
Speaker 5 (29:07):
So how long from when they were like a big
band till she got her brain cancer and they had
a stole.
Speaker 2 (29:12):
She got diagnosed in two thousand and.
Speaker 3 (29:14):
One, Okay, so it was a couple of years. It
was years after that.
Speaker 4 (29:17):
Years after the way into twenty nineteen.
Speaker 2 (29:19):
Right, yeah, so she you know, for a while they
were at hiatus when she's dealt with this, and then
they had a reunion tour and like a big massive
tour too in like two thousand and nine, and then yeah,
like I guess twenty was it when she died twenty eighteen. Yeah,
I mean they were still active. They were going concert
by the ad Like, it just gets to a point
you just can't really do that anymore. I mean, I
(29:39):
can't even imagine how that would even feel.
Speaker 4 (29:41):
I mean, I'm kind of you could only just do
what you love, right, I mean until at the very end,
because I mean I don't know what they were going through.
Speaker 2 (29:48):
I'm just saying I think they're still touring though, Like
I mean, they have a new singer, singer per still planned.
But yeah, you know this music video that they had
some good vibes to it for sure, but yeah.
Speaker 5 (30:03):
But yeah, yeah, but it was just like that's the
thing is, it's nothing really stays with you, you know.
Speaker 4 (30:11):
I think really both this song and the actual video
and actual.
Speaker 2 (30:15):
Video to me, at least with the look, even though
it's a it's a very late eighties music video. The
thing that stayed with me without was Marie playing on
a toilet. You're sitting down on a toilet.
Speaker 3 (30:25):
She's playing guitar.
Speaker 2 (30:26):
You're playing guitar, but she was singing that on that part.
Speaker 3 (30:28):
But You Got the Look is a way bigger song
over here.
Speaker 2 (30:32):
Oh yeah, right. The thing was Jory I hit number one,
He's the only one that hit number Yeah, but the
Look seems to have a more lasting impact.
Speaker 5 (30:39):
Now, Yeah, you hear that all the time, Like that's
I hear that You got the Yeah, that's everywhere.
Speaker 2 (30:46):
I'm sure like cosmetics use that exactly commercial.
Speaker 5 (30:49):
And it's also like a dance song too, you look.
You Got the Look is a does it have a
digital like drum.
Speaker 2 (30:54):
Digital drums like an electronic drum?
Speaker 3 (30:56):
Yea, yeah, drums.
Speaker 5 (30:57):
It's more of a dance song, right, You got to
look because you can pay out a club where this
son it's kind of you can't really play at the club.
Speaker 3 (31:02):
This is more of a rock song, right.
Speaker 2 (31:04):
No, you can't enjoy is A. That's a that's a
tough ask for your audience.
Speaker 4 (31:09):
I think you're right adult contemporary, Yeah.
Speaker 2 (31:11):
Yeah, yeah. If you play the Look at an eighties club,
you know where they Yeah, people would, people would jam.
Speaker 4 (31:17):
I can see that.
Speaker 3 (31:17):
Yeah, I could see myself mixing that with like a
print song or something.
Speaker 2 (31:20):
Yeah, sure, yeah, yeah, definitely more than joy Ride even
all Dangerous, right, that's you know that song dangerous. She's
a little bit dangerous.
Speaker 4 (31:31):
No, no, it's a hit too, but I don't really remember.
Speaker 2 (31:36):
I remember that, but the look is a better song.
But it's to me, it's like number to me, it's
like that song number four next to joy right as
far as like my favorite rock set songs.
Speaker 3 (31:46):
But that's the thing too.
Speaker 5 (31:47):
They have a lot of songs that could be in commercials.
That's the thing, you know, which is wild.
Speaker 4 (31:51):
I think that's the very definition of pop, right, like yeah,
you know, like it can be. It's it could be
played any on anything and anywhere. And again, unfortunately it's
just something that's not it's even impression. Eh No, it's
hard to judge. I'm thinking about it from different angles,
you know.
Speaker 2 (32:07):
Yeah, just I think they just it just got upstaged
by their other hits. You know, Joy's not a bad song.
Speaker 5 (32:13):
And also it's like with pop songs, big pop songs
usually the videos have a crazy impact on you when
there's like this crazy choreographed thing to them, like let's
say Michael Jackson Janet Jackson, you know, like when you attached,
like yeah, this like whole big and if you're snality
to it, this is a big pop song that you know,
the pop rock song, and it's just them, you know,
(32:35):
kind of behind the screen screen a lot of the time,
you know, so it really doesn't really have that impact
that those other American pop acts are doing, you know,
with the big things.
Speaker 3 (32:43):
You know, the so I could see.
Speaker 4 (32:46):
There's no narrative, there's no like central focus. It's really
just them two together kind of vibing that shoulders and
shoulder kind.
Speaker 2 (32:52):
Of yeah, you know exactly how would you compare this
to New Shoes the music video with different new Shoes?
Speaker 4 (32:56):
But even that is cool with the effects to stop
most I had that.
Speaker 2 (33:01):
But yeah, like I mean they had you know, this
video had effects you with the green screens, you know,
But it's not as choreographed as as the other song.
Speaker 3 (33:10):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (33:10):
Yeah, Like it's another like yeah, like a duo to
guy girl thing and uh and.
Speaker 5 (33:16):
That's another song that's another dance song too, Yeah, where
this is more of a rock song than.
Speaker 3 (33:20):
A dance song, you know, the top rock. Yeah, pop
rock that was a big.
Speaker 5 (33:24):
Thing in like the late eighties early nineties is like
you know, people were going to clubs and dancing, you know,
and so you.
Speaker 4 (33:31):
Can cross over right crossover, Yeah.
Speaker 2 (33:33):
You can have a big hit like EMF crossed overlable right.
Speaker 3 (33:43):
I love that video. When I was a kid man,
I a skateboard. I have that, like he was a
running man.
Speaker 2 (33:48):
Well he's the keyboardards dude.
Speaker 5 (33:51):
I remember I recorded that. I recorded that song off
of like kiss a fam or something. It was like,
so you cut off the beginning and like cut off
the ending. You've been that part that, oh yeah, and
then I would just like record it. I mean just
listen to it over and over again, recorded from the
from the radio So good.
Speaker 2 (34:10):
I had a good guitar solo to it.
Speaker 4 (34:13):
Album, the whole album listened to. Yeah he's good.
Speaker 5 (34:16):
Yeah it's good. And check it out that album I
listened to recently. And then Jesus Jones too.
Speaker 3 (34:21):
Oh yeah, yeah, Jesus album.
Speaker 2 (34:24):
You had the Doubt album.
Speaker 4 (34:26):
So good.
Speaker 2 (34:26):
That band is so good. Okay, we'll be right back
for notable YouTube comments. Okay, guys, it's time for the
notable YouTube comments. Okay at Rash seven one eighty six says,
you know you're good when you could put whistling and
(34:47):
whispering the name of your band in a song and
still be an absolute banger. Because there's a part in
there where she has rock.
Speaker 3 (34:53):
Seat Yeah who says it?
Speaker 4 (34:55):
Who says it?
Speaker 2 (34:55):
Both of them did, right.
Speaker 3 (34:57):
So yeah yeah at the beginning of the song, right.
Speaker 2 (34:59):
I think it's yeah. I didn't catch that until I was,
you know, watching his music video. Pama Schall five four
four zero says, rest in peace, sweet Marie. This video
made me a lifelong van when I saw this as
a thirteen year old boy on a TV screen Throw
a shop window classic, right, I was immediately hooked. At
(35:20):
that age. This was magic to me. I was really
thinking that they were sitting on the wing of a plane.
Now I know what a blue screen is, but this
hasn't changed my love for this video. I follow rock
Shead my whole life and have bought all their albums.
I will miss them, I will miss Marie. That's great
that this is a nice whole song. Comment there at
(35:40):
dingas Pool says, this is such a gut punch rock
set is one of the first songs I can remember
listening to as a child. Always loved hearing any rock
seat song play since then, Rest in peace, Marie. If
there's a heavens, she's playing a concert with David Bowie,
George Michael, Freddie Mercury and Laura Brannigan, all friends of
our podcasts.
Speaker 4 (35:58):
Who's great?
Speaker 2 (36:00):
And finally, Cinco de Mayo fan says they were the
perfect blend of pop and rock and had two really cool,
charismatic singers. Agreed they only had a few years of
success in the United States, but a few years ago
I listened to a lot of our later work and
it's great. Even in twenty tens, they were still releasing
good music.
Speaker 4 (36:19):
That's cool, man, Well, because they did release a lot
of album Yeah.
Speaker 2 (36:23):
They were active since before you know, pre COVID. But
I mean they're still touring as with a different rock
set with a different singer now, of course. But yeah,
so joy Ride Rock Seid, would you keep it or
would you throw it back? Since the requester wanted us
to use a scale of ten, you can keep it
or throw it back and then throw out your score
(36:44):
in there.
Speaker 4 (36:45):
I'm just gonna offer to scale of one through ten. Okay, right, well,
because I have too much respect for the band, and
you know, I think they knew how to formulate a
very successful pop song, and I think that's that's quite
a talent, you know, and they've made a lasting depression
on music history.
Speaker 2 (37:01):
I would say millions millions of they're love. They're loved internationally.
Speaker 4 (37:05):
That's crazy and rightfully so, they're great. There's no problem there.
It's not my cup of team necessarily, but they I
love their hits. Man, their hits are good. But let's
see video wise, in the song in particular, I think
we've kind of beat this to, you know, as much
as we can. Not necessarily their best. I would probably
if I was going to go for one through ten
(37:26):
scale ten being the best, I would go with like
six probably would be my judgment on them. That's it judgmental, right,
Like who was pre judging? That's guilty.
Speaker 5 (37:40):
If we're going with the reissue video, the updated one,
I think I'm going for like a six. But if
we're going for the video one, I think I'm going
more for like a five. I'm gonna go back to
our classic. I'm keeping this. This is a good video.
I think the song in the video, like you know,
they're all in on it, you know, and that's that's
kind of like a thing.
Speaker 3 (38:00):
You guys are all in on it. Let's do it.
You know.
Speaker 5 (38:02):
The thing about the reissue when when they're when they're
both like models. Man, when they're doing the model poses,
it's so good, you know, like when they're by the
you know, when they're doing their separate ones at the bus.
Speaker 2 (38:13):
Looking cool on the plane. Yeah, looking cool playing the
guitar and the corvette. I mean, come on, rocks rocks
like the Sweetish Yeah. So no, Swedish, totally a keeper.
Speaker 4 (38:22):
They are a perfect kind of you know, looks wise
because they got they got the sound.
Speaker 2 (38:28):
They even call their album look Sharp because they look sharp.
As for me, I mean, okay, as far as I'm
putting a numeric score of once through ten, I will
put both. Well. I would I actually like the original
video better than the remastered one, so I would put
a seven on the you know, on the original video
with the monkey, because I don't know, I dig that.
Speaker 4 (38:49):
Man.
Speaker 2 (38:49):
It's like ninetiesy, like monkeys would just throw everything in
the in the kitchen, you know, in the kitchen saying
see what sticks or whatever whatever, it's saying goes and
and this and the seven one. It just felt a
little more ordinary. It's cleaner, it looks nicer.
Speaker 3 (39:03):
You know.
Speaker 2 (39:04):
You can see the curve lines of Marie. You know,
it's like slithering around like dancing like a like a
hair hair and girl. But n but I don't know,
like I just I kind of like the just the
kitsch of the o G. So but I'm giving the
I'm giving the remaster at five.
Speaker 5 (39:22):
I think the spins of the of the city in
the original, like like like cross Eye, it's like it's
too much like overload.
Speaker 2 (39:30):
That's true, they really, I mean that was an arrow
where they were just like if they found these new
tricks on their cameras and it's like, oh, let's do this.
Yeah you know, and that's before the days of drone footage.
Speaker 3 (39:41):
So yeah, it's like you can tell it's like a helicopter.
Speaker 2 (39:44):
They literally shot the helicopter like in T two and
starts spinning around.
Speaker 4 (39:50):
So okay, six seven.
Speaker 2 (39:55):
Yeah, So I mean, we we like it. We like
this music video. They're mostly keeps for sure. I forgot
go on to old original scale. But since our requestor
wanted to use a.
Speaker 4 (40:04):

five average Metacritic score. So yeah, all right guys, So Ryan,

Speaker 2 (41:24):
Totally straying away from Rock seit Or, but you know
that E MF did a commercial for cheese. It's for
like Craft cheese or something, but it's crumbled cheese, right,
so it's in a bad crumbled cheese like it's all,
you know, just crush cheese and you just put it
on your salad or whatever instead of shredded. It's crumbled cheese.
So they use their song called It's crumb Believable. I'm like,
(41:47):
oh my god, I was so painful to watch. That
was like that came out in two thousand and six.
Speaker 3 (41:51):
