8
00:00:59.600 --> 00:01:07.280
doctor sweet, Oh that sounds sweet. Our first letter is from Jasmine

9
00:01:07.920 --> 00:01:14.760
Ja. Jasmine writes, Hello,
doctors, I just want to share it

10
00:01:14.840 --> 00:01:19.480
tonight, my love letter with you. It all started in nineteen eighty six

11
00:01:19.319 --> 00:01:26.000
as I was introduced to the greatest
love of my life. We were found

12
00:01:26.000 --> 00:01:32.040
together walking one day a little bit
past two in the morning at the drive

13
00:01:32.159 --> 00:01:49.200
through at Kentucky Fried Chickens. As
the love of my life and I walked

14
00:01:49.239 --> 00:01:53.680
through the drive through because we didn't
have a car back then. Like I

15
00:01:53.719 --> 00:01:57.239
said, it was two in the
morning that we ordered our chicken Littles and

16
00:01:57.680 --> 00:02:02.000
hung around the park there with only
one light on in the whole parking lot.

17
00:02:04.319 --> 00:02:07.879
By super A Foods and Taco Bell
in the corner that was closed at

18
00:02:07.919 --> 00:02:15.360
that time, and my honey just
reached over and said it. I love

19
00:02:15.400 --> 00:02:20.400
how the moon glistens on your forehead. And I just want to tell you,

20
00:02:20.479 --> 00:02:24.479
sweet Jasmine, on this day in
nineteen eighty six, how much I

21
00:02:24.599 --> 00:02:30.039
love you, and I promised to
adore you forever, and I promise that

22
00:02:30.120 --> 00:02:35.120
one day we will come to Kentucky
Fried Chicken drive through in a car.

23
00:02:36.879 --> 00:02:42.360
Thank you, Jasmine, Doctor Sweet. That's a that's a love letter and

24
00:02:42.400 --> 00:02:47.680
a half doctor love weapon. You
know, it really is true love when

25
00:02:47.719 --> 00:02:51.879
you can walk through a drive through
at two in the morning and you don't

26
00:02:51.919 --> 00:02:59.080
have a car, and that's just
real love, because nothing's better than love

27
00:02:59.080 --> 00:03:02.639
with greasy fingers. I just thought
it was a beautiful letter, and I

28
00:03:02.680 --> 00:03:08.919
hope that Jasmine and her fella are
still together this day, and if they

29
00:03:08.960 --> 00:03:15.400
don't have a car, they can
go down to Social Services and get tokens

30
00:03:15.439 --> 00:03:20.479
for the Metro and I'm sure then
they can find love and get to another

31
00:03:20.560 --> 00:03:24.039
restaurant. Doctor Oh yes, Jasmine, I just want to thank you for

32
00:03:24.199 --> 00:03:30.080
providing such wonderful, wonderful lines to
both doctor Sweet and myself, and I

33
00:03:30.120 --> 00:03:36.639
want to encourage you keep on going
to that KFC doctor. I think it's

34
00:03:36.719 --> 00:03:42.199
time I go check the microwave from
my cappuccino. So I think you should

35
00:03:42.199 --> 00:03:47.840
give our love haters a closing note. And would you like lemon or would

36
00:03:47.840 --> 00:03:53.639
you like cinnamon in your cap?
A little of both, but preferably a

37
00:03:53.680 --> 00:03:58.960
little bit of ginger at the end
of there as well. Ginger always makes

38
00:03:58.960 --> 00:04:45.199
me smile. Ah Wow? Who
you're listening to? Back to the Eighties

39

new generation, discussing the good,
the bad, and the ugly of the

on Back to the Eighties. Now. There are a few shows out there

47
00:05:15.439 --> 00:05:18.959
with similar name, but only Back
to the Eighties Radio has the radio personalities

48
00:05:18.959 --> 00:05:23.279
in content. You're not going to
hear anywhere else, and I guarantee it

49
00:05:23.759 --> 00:05:29.040
now with me as he is every
Friday. Is a man that has more

50
00:05:29.079 --> 00:05:35.759
stamina, more rage, and more
wild personality than John McEnroe losing a tennis

51
00:05:35.800 --> 00:05:40.680
match in the eighties. But you
can't be serious, then you cannot be

52
00:05:40.800 --> 00:05:45.560
serious, pot both on the line. He's been seen running around the halls

53
00:05:45.560 --> 00:05:49.800
of the Smithsonian Museum at night wearing
only a translucent white spandex and a yellow

54
00:05:49.839 --> 00:05:55.800
cut off shirt that says, I
rock my metal harder than you. We

55
00:05:55.959 --> 00:06:00.600
hear back to the eighties. Call
him the Chang here ye hear ye,

56
00:06:00.920 --> 00:06:08.360
Cats and kiddies, earth dogs,
numbskulls, ladies of the eighties. The

57
00:06:08.560 --> 00:06:15.160
Chang must do his rang now to
scuttle my number one comrade, my partner

58
00:06:15.199 --> 00:06:21.879
in crime. The only Italian that
I've ever gave a compliment too for his

59
00:06:23.120 --> 00:06:28.920
hugeness in booty sock balls, and
that would be you. You were more

60
00:06:28.959 --> 00:06:32.639
greater than Chef Boyartie, the man
that created pizza. You were the greatest

61
00:06:32.639 --> 00:06:39.600
Italian ever since I witnessed the movie
scar Face, and there was no Italians

62
00:06:39.639 --> 00:06:44.120
in that movie. And I still
wear my booty socks but without the balls.

63
00:06:44.360 --> 00:06:48.040
Oh, I lost the balls on
my booty socks when I got married,

64
00:06:48.480 --> 00:06:51.680
you know, Tuskey, I lost
my balls in my first marriage.

65
00:06:51.879 --> 00:06:57.199
Oh, there's a different story.
Never talking about booty socks. I don't

66
00:06:57.240 --> 00:07:00.720
want to talk about that, but
I do want to talk about number three

67
00:07:01.199 --> 00:07:08.879
on our show of shows to bring
out the great New Wave era of music

68
00:07:09.319 --> 00:07:13.240
in the eighties, Tonight, we're
gonna wrap it up. We're gonna say

69
00:07:13.360 --> 00:07:19.279
Adios, ribad to the new Wave
and Tuscano. I'm gonna say one band

70
00:07:19.360 --> 00:07:23.439
name and that's gonna kick it off
to you. This is like a tennis

71
00:07:23.439 --> 00:07:26.199
match. You ready, get your
racket ready, get those booty socks,

72
00:07:26.279 --> 00:07:30.240
lay stuff. Come on. I've
got a song that I really really love

73
00:07:30.360 --> 00:07:33.600
that reminds me of being a young
boy back in the eighties, and that

74
00:07:33.839 --> 00:07:40.759
is moving in stereo all so a
song that was on the great movie of

75
00:07:41.079 --> 00:07:45.240
Ridgemond High. Do you remember Fast
Time? Yeah? Yeah, Fast Times

76
00:07:45.240 --> 00:07:48.240
have reached behind the High. That
song is epic that every time I hear

77
00:07:48.279 --> 00:07:51.360
that song, I think of phoebe
Ks and I have to leave the room

78
00:07:51.399 --> 00:07:56.680
immediately. But that's all you have
to say to me. Was a great

79
00:07:56.680 --> 00:08:01.720
band you had to ric ocasek Elliott
on the guitar. You had, oh

80
00:08:01.720 --> 00:08:07.079
my goodness, the other great singer
in that band. You remember the other

81
00:08:07.120 --> 00:08:09.000
singer in that great band, are
you not? He was so attractive with

82
00:08:09.079 --> 00:08:13.519
his blonde hair. He looked a
little bit like Elvis Presley. But new

83
00:08:13.560 --> 00:08:20.279
wave, that band, I think
they were epic. I think it's sad

84
00:08:20.319 --> 00:08:24.160
to know that two of those members
have passed on, so we're never ever

85
00:08:24.199 --> 00:08:30.360
going to see such a great band
as we did with the Cars. That's

86
00:08:30.439 --> 00:08:33.639
my first band that I thought i'd
bring up in today's new wave topic.

87
00:08:33.720 --> 00:08:37.879
I'm sure that you have another band
you want to talk about. We got

88
00:08:37.960 --> 00:08:41.440
tons of stuff to talk about.
And you know what. In December nineteen

89
00:08:41.480 --> 00:08:45.360
eighty two, there was a gallop
pole that was taken in the United States.

90
00:08:45.399 --> 00:08:50.480
Fourteen percent of teenagers rated new wave
as their favorite type of music that

91
00:08:50.519 --> 00:08:56.639
way, making it the third most
popular genre of music. New wave had

92
00:08:56.679 --> 00:09:01.120
its greatest popularity, of course,
our coast on the West Coast. Unlike

93
00:09:01.120 --> 00:09:05.600
other genres, race wasn't a factor
in the popularity of new wave music,

94
00:09:05.000 --> 00:09:09.399
and according to the poll, in
urban contemporary radio stations, they were the

95
00:09:09.399 --> 00:09:15.159
first to play dance oriented new wave
artists such as the B fifty two's Culture

96
00:09:15.159 --> 00:09:18.879
Club, Duran, Duran and ABC. Now did you know that? No,

97
00:09:18.919 --> 00:09:22.279
I didn't know that. Here's another
fun fact. Did you know that

98
00:09:22.519 --> 00:09:31.879
MTV was primarily played new wave music
when they first upstarted in eighty one and

99
00:09:31.000 --> 00:09:37.240
most of those acts were from Great
Britain up until nineteen eighty four. And

100
00:09:37.240 --> 00:09:41.279
you also, I also have to
throw another fun fact. The Cars were

101
00:09:41.320 --> 00:09:46.639
one of the number one bands on
MTV in that era at that time,

102
00:09:46.159 --> 00:09:52.720
and Benjamin Orr, the other singer
of the Cars, was also voted one

103
00:09:52.759 --> 00:09:58.960
of the sexiest lead singers or rockers
in that era, in that genre of

104
00:09:58.120 --> 00:10:03.039
music at that time. And if
you can remember watching MTV and watching the

105
00:10:03.080 --> 00:10:07.159
Cars video, you had Rick Rick
o'kasick who looked he looked, he looked

106
00:10:07.159 --> 00:10:09.480
different. His ears were a little
bit bigger, they kind of looked like

107
00:10:09.480 --> 00:10:13.159
he had some headphones on painted skin
color. But then you had Benjamin Or,

108
00:10:13.559 --> 00:10:18.159
like I say, he kind of
looked very similar to Roger Taylor,

109
00:10:18.200 --> 00:10:20.879
the drummer of Queen, kind of
had that Alvis sex appeal. Yeah,

110
00:10:20.879 --> 00:10:28.600
I remember, I remember him.
Yeah. But MTV launched off the genre

111
00:10:28.799 --> 00:10:31.720
of new wave music. As a
matter of fact, it brought so much

112
00:10:31.759 --> 00:10:37.000
concerned that journalists were calling the new
wave era of the eighties from MTV the

113
00:10:37.159 --> 00:10:43.639
second coming of the British Invasion.
Did you know that? Yes, because

114
00:10:43.639 --> 00:10:48.000
I've heard it from you before.
Oh I'm muttering myself. Mutter, mutter,

115
00:10:48.080 --> 00:10:54.240
mutter. Billboard's Book of Number One
Hits by Fred Bronson. Boy George

116
00:10:54.279 --> 00:11:01.240
explained that the song come a Chameleon
or Chameleon too Many, that the song

117
00:11:01.360 --> 00:11:05.440
is about the terrible fear of alienation
that people have, the fear of standing

118
00:11:05.600 --> 00:11:09.519
up for one thing, it's it's
about trying to suck up to everybody.

119
00:11:09.559 --> 00:11:13.360
Basically, if you aren't true,
if you don't act like you feel,

120
00:11:13.519 --> 00:11:20.720
then you get karma justice and that's
nature's way of paying you back. And

121
00:11:20.879 --> 00:11:52.759
this is Karma Chameleon by the Culture
Club and Boy George. Now, let

122
00:11:52.759 --> 00:11:58.279
me tell you a little fun fact
that says Michael moved like my boy George

123
00:11:58.279 --> 00:12:01.919
move, not Jordan Michael. That
was not was something a little fun fact

124
00:12:01.960 --> 00:12:09.960
here with Boy George. Culture Club
was sued for plagiarism in this song by

125
00:12:09.000 --> 00:12:15.480
the writers of a song called Handyman
from a nineteen sixties hit for Jimmy Jones.

126
00:12:16.279 --> 00:12:20.399
Really yeah. When asked, boy
George admitted, I might have heard

127
00:12:20.480 --> 00:12:24.200
that maybe once, but it was
certainly not something I sat down and copied.

128
00:12:24.480 --> 00:12:30.919
We gave them tenpence and a Knapple
nice. So he may have heard

129
00:12:30.919 --> 00:12:33.519
of the song, but he says
he didn't copy. So apparently the nineteen

130
00:12:33.600 --> 00:12:41.480
sixty song Handyman, written by or
sung by Jimmy Jones, sounds very very

131
00:12:41.519 --> 00:12:43.639
similar to that one. I mean, you got to give it up to

132
00:12:43.639 --> 00:12:46.399
boy George. The guy did have
a voice. He created a style for

133
00:12:46.480 --> 00:12:54.399
himself that was flamboyant. It was
kind of kind of provocative in a way,

134
00:12:54.480 --> 00:12:56.080
you know what I mean. It
was he looked kind of feminine,

135
00:12:56.120 --> 00:13:00.879
but then again he kind of didn't. The guys some chops always. The

136
00:13:00.879 --> 00:13:03.240
guy could sing, so I gave
it up to him. Now. The

137
00:13:03.320 --> 00:13:05.240
one thing I did trip out on, Boy George was the way that Boy

138
00:13:05.320 --> 00:13:09.919
georgiea like you were talking about the
song that you just played was written.

139
00:13:09.279 --> 00:13:13.159
I would kind of think that that
came out of George's mind kind of maybe

140
00:13:13.639 --> 00:13:18.320
with the rise of coming out of
the closet and becoming okay with yourself being

141
00:13:18.360 --> 00:13:22.879
gay and announcing it to the world. I would think that would have something

142
00:13:22.879 --> 00:13:26.080
to do with the song and why
he wrote it. I don't know if

143
00:13:26.080 --> 00:13:31.480
you would agree. You cannot be
bullied and hide forever. You're going to

144
00:13:31.559 --> 00:13:35.080
have to stand up and represent who
you are. You want to know another

145
00:13:35.120 --> 00:13:39.039
interesting fun fact about Culture Club Sure
they performed this song this same song in

146
00:13:39.120 --> 00:13:43.320
nineteen to eighty six on an episode
of The A Team. Out of all

147
00:13:43.360 --> 00:13:50.120
the programs on TV, how more
masculine and adrenaline charged program Wow? Yeah.

148
00:13:50.159 --> 00:13:56.360
They played this song on a episode
that was called Cowboy George. And

149
00:13:56.399 --> 00:14:00.039
in this episode, a series of
misadventure leads to the band plane in the

150
00:14:00.039 --> 00:14:03.159
country bar to a bunch of cowboys
and they went over the crowd along with

151
00:14:03.159 --> 00:14:09.480
the A Team. It's just an
interesting fun fact from nineteen eighty six.

152
00:14:09.679 --> 00:14:13.120
Now I could, I would love
to hear mister t shut a fool,

153
00:14:13.120 --> 00:14:16.440
come here, pretty boy, Well
you're pretty here bringing a pretty lips over

154
00:14:16.559 --> 00:14:20.519
hill. I'm a real champion.
I'm gonna show you a real man.

155
00:14:20.840 --> 00:14:24.120
I'm a real man. I'm gonna
hit you straight in the face with a

156
00:14:24.159 --> 00:14:28.279
band that I love. Yes,
I did say I love I love this

157
00:14:28.320 --> 00:14:31.960
band and as a matter of fact, I did meet the lead singer at

158
00:14:31.960 --> 00:14:41.200
this band one time in the city
of irwin Dale. I'm talking about Ongele

159
00:14:41.320 --> 00:14:46.080
Boyingle. Oh now, Ongele Boyingle. They had a very creative sound,

160
00:14:46.240 --> 00:14:52.519
very h you could kind of say
Ongle Boyingle kind of was like pop punk

161
00:14:52.840 --> 00:15:00.559
rock rasta party rock, you know, kind of Tim Burton st which is

162
00:15:00.639 --> 00:15:03.960
you know. Of course he did
to do the soundtrack for Tim Burton and

163
00:15:03.120 --> 00:15:07.480
Bryan. He does a lot of
stuff for movies and just got that weird

164
00:15:07.879 --> 00:15:11.600
yet cool vibe going. Dude.
I mean, yeah, he's a mastermind,

165
00:15:11.679 --> 00:15:13.679
you know what I mean. He's
just a mastermind. Now. He

166
00:15:13.720 --> 00:15:16.840
came a long way and I got
to meet him one time. Like I

167
00:15:16.879 --> 00:15:22.600
said, in Irwindale, he was
sending a demo album out to a record

168
00:15:22.679 --> 00:15:26.720
studio or a record label for them
to hear when I met him, So

169
00:15:26.759 --> 00:15:30.960
that was pretty cool. Olinkle Bingle
was formed by of course, Richard Elfman,

170
00:15:31.120 --> 00:15:33.879
and he provided music for one of
the films that he was working on.

171
00:15:35.600 --> 00:15:39.039
And well I thought it was Danny
Elfman. Well it was formed by

172
00:15:39.200 --> 00:15:43.799
Richard Elfman. I guess Danny Elfman
is Richard's brother, because Danny Elfman is

173
00:15:43.840 --> 00:15:48.279
the lead singer of the group.
But I guess the person who started it

174
00:15:48.320 --> 00:15:52.639
all right is his brother, Richard
Elfman. So Richard became a dick and

175
00:15:52.679 --> 00:15:58.879
he was ousted out of the band. And this particular song, Weird Science,

176
00:15:58.039 --> 00:16:02.759
was yes, absolutely written for the
John Hughes movie Weird Science, about

177
00:16:02.799 --> 00:16:04.360
the two kids who find a way
to create a beautiful woman through science.

178
00:16:04.799 --> 00:16:10.200
And the band had to crush this
out and they claim that they hated the

179
00:16:10.279 --> 00:16:15.200
song. Unfortunately for them, but
fortunately for us because it became so well

180
00:16:15.240 --> 00:16:18.240
known in the movie. It was
included on their album dead Man's Party.

181
00:16:18.279 --> 00:16:41.440
Let's take a listen. I do
not know my head. One of people

182
00:16:41.720 --> 00:16:51.879
understand mine what a great band man
Go Bo and Go. You know that

183
00:16:52.000 --> 00:16:53.639
one track right there. You could
kind of hear the funk in it.

184
00:16:55.200 --> 00:16:56.600
You know, you could see why
it was a pop rock kind of a

185
00:16:57.360 --> 00:17:00.679
song. I had so many different
flavors in it. You know, you

186
00:17:00.679 --> 00:17:03.000
could dance to it, you could
groove to it, you could sing to

187
00:17:03.039 --> 00:17:04.960
it. You could probably look in
the mirror and make funny faces like Danny

188
00:17:06.079 --> 00:17:08.759
was doing when he was making funny
faces on MTV. Yeah, you know

189
00:17:08.799 --> 00:17:12.839
what. Another one of their songs
went on the movie Back to School was

190
00:17:12.920 --> 00:17:19.000
Rodney Dangerfield. You remember they actually
performed dead Man's Party. Yes, at

191
00:17:19.039 --> 00:17:22.880
the college where this movie was taking
place. They were the main the main

192
00:17:22.920 --> 00:17:29.839
band for this party. So great
band O. Now I got one more

193
00:17:29.839 --> 00:17:33.400
band. Are your booty socks tucked
in around your toes because you're gonna just

194
00:17:33.440 --> 00:17:36.319
jump out of your shoes when you
hear this band. The balls in my

195
00:17:36.359 --> 00:17:40.480
booty socks are tucked in, well
in there. Okay, you're sure you're

196
00:17:40.519 --> 00:17:44.359
ready? Because I know you hate
this band. I love the brother Here's

197
00:17:44.480 --> 00:17:49.799
nothing like No the B fifty twos. I'm gonna say it again because I

198
00:17:49.839 --> 00:17:53.160
was rudely cut up on my buddy, my associated, my partner in crime.

199
00:17:53.640 --> 00:17:57.680
That's right, everybody's favorite, the
B fifty twos. Yeah, the

200
00:17:59.000 --> 00:18:03.440
great B fifty twos. And yes, I'm gonna want you to play it.

201
00:18:03.839 --> 00:18:06.960
I'm gonna want you to play it. She came from Planet Claire.

202
00:18:07.079 --> 00:18:15.359
Don't you dare say she's from mom
or one of the seven stars that shot

203
00:18:15.559 --> 00:18:33.039
and three thirty and not Barness.
She came from planet Glad. She came

204
00:18:33.279 --> 00:18:41.960
from Signage Glad. It's funny because
I thought you were gonna say and yes

205
00:18:42.039 --> 00:18:47.279
I hate the band, but I'm
glad. I'm so glad you didn't mention

206
00:18:47.359 --> 00:19:00.519
this song the well and knock down
shot. I got me right, blood

207
00:19:00.039 --> 00:19:17.559
boy. Oh, I hate this
song, which is in many ways the

208
00:19:17.920 --> 00:19:21.519
worst song I have ever heard in
my entire life. Now, every time

209
00:19:21.559 --> 00:19:23.240
I heard this song, I thought
about going to a taco shack, not

210
00:19:23.319 --> 00:19:26.960
a love shack. But I'm intrigued, did you I would like to go

211
00:19:27.000 --> 00:19:30.440
to a love shack to find out
what kind of love I could purchase.

212
00:19:30.599 --> 00:19:33.200
They interviewed the B fifty two singer
Cindy Wilson, and she explained that when

213
00:19:33.200 --> 00:19:37.400
you're jamming, everybody's conjuring up their
own images and sometimes we're all singing at

214
00:19:37.400 --> 00:19:40.839
the same time, and later you
go back and you hear what you're doing,

215
00:19:41.359 --> 00:19:44.359
And she said, I personally was
thinking about this bar that was out

216
00:19:44.400 --> 00:19:48.039
in the country called the Hawaiian Halle, and it was a really cool place

217
00:19:48.079 --> 00:19:52.240
to run down love shack kind of
thing, but it was a disco,

218
00:19:52.559 --> 00:19:56.599
and so that's what she was thinking
of when they created the Love Shack.

219
00:19:56.880 --> 00:20:00.279
Really, yeah, did you know
that? I wonder what fred I was

220
00:20:00.319 --> 00:20:03.240
thinking, the lead singer, probably
about something I don't know. Some skinny

221
00:20:03.440 --> 00:20:07.759
probably said, I can't believe I
have to be in this band in order

222
00:20:07.799 --> 00:20:11.400
to make a living. I bet
you he thought that's what I would think.

223
00:20:11.440 --> 00:20:14.640
I was thinking. He was thinking, no one has a voice like

224
00:20:15.039 --> 00:20:19.519
Bye. All things with these girls
like they were fine. Oh yeah,

225
00:20:19.519 --> 00:20:22.519
he had that very You know.
I would like to see him do a

226
00:20:22.559 --> 00:20:26.480
movie back in the twenties. That's
right, baby, I'm gonna give it

227
00:20:26.519 --> 00:20:32.920
to yo. Good say yah going
down. Oh I couldn't stand the love

228
00:20:32.920 --> 00:20:37.000
shack. How could you not like
to be fifty two Saskato for for God's

229
00:20:37.039 --> 00:20:41.079
sake, you had a Wham shirt
and you and you wore it mid drift,

230
00:20:41.240 --> 00:20:48.359
come on, brother, And and
you mentioned the planet Claire great,

231
00:20:48.519 --> 00:20:56.759
which is interesting because it's a great
song. Their female vocalist Cindy Wilson and

232
00:20:56.880 --> 00:21:00.319
Katie Pearson. I mean, they
fit right in as cast member of an

233
00:21:00.440 --> 00:21:03.160
Edwards sci fi movie. They're just
freaking well. They had hair like they

234
00:21:03.200 --> 00:21:07.119
worked at Bob's Big Boy. Yeah, they had that big Now they weren't

235
00:21:07.119 --> 00:21:10.000
from outer space, of course.
Now, they were from Georgia, Athens,

236
00:21:10.039 --> 00:21:15.440
Georgia, Georgia, yep, Georgia. Yeah. And they started singing

237
00:21:15.559 --> 00:21:19.839
about a woman. This is around
two thirty in the morning when Fred Schneider

238
00:21:19.960 --> 00:21:26.200
starts, Yeah, Fred Snyder's Schneider
starts talking about a woman from Planet Claire,

239
00:21:26.160 --> 00:21:29.599
and we don't learn much about her, but we know that she drives

240
00:21:29.599 --> 00:21:33.319
the Plymouth satellite, which also existed
on Earth. I guess it's this different

241
00:21:33.359 --> 00:21:37.440
planet called Planet Claire, and that
this girl travels at the speed of light.

242
00:21:37.519 --> 00:21:40.359
That's pretty much it. Now that
that sounds like that was written on

243
00:21:40.440 --> 00:21:42.759
Planet Blow, as in everybody was
doing a little bit too much blow.

244
00:21:42.960 --> 00:21:48.200
Let's make this song go that well? You know what much of that soundscape

245
00:21:48.319 --> 00:21:52.720
on that song it was created by
the band's guitarist, Ricky Wilson, who

246
00:21:52.799 --> 00:21:56.400
later in nineteen eighty five died of
aids Ah, that is right. That

247
00:21:56.559 --> 00:22:00.240
is not a very good fun fact. How dare you sold that act?

248
00:22:00.839 --> 00:22:04.400
But well you had? Yeah,
we like you said, the good,

249
00:22:04.440 --> 00:22:07.759
the bad, and the ugly,
and that's what we're gonna give you.

250
00:22:07.839 --> 00:22:10.480
Yeah, but it's too bad you
didn't like that bad. I would have

251
00:22:10.559 --> 00:22:15.359
really enjoyed getting you a B fifty
two is a skin tight T shirt for

252
00:22:15.440 --> 00:22:17.839
your birthday. But you know what, maybe I'll do it. Who cares.

253
00:22:17.839 --> 00:22:19.640
I don't care if you like it
or not. I'm gonna send the

254
00:22:19.680 --> 00:22:22.920
God Dad anyway. Hated it?
Are you? Rich Hater? Dick and

255
00:22:23.000 --> 00:22:26.599
Rich Hater are on the show The
Hater Brothers. Now. The following song

256
00:22:26.880 --> 00:22:32.200
is uh a German Actually he was
born in Vienna, Austria, nineteen fifty

257
00:22:32.200 --> 00:22:45.960
seven, and his real name was
Johann Haulzel, but his aka was Falco.

258
00:22:49.000 --> 00:23:15.480
Come on the Phone to you because
it was now this song rock Me

259
00:23:15.519 --> 00:23:19.279
Up My Days was released, but
it was first Obviously it was a huge

260
00:23:19.319 --> 00:23:23.960
international hit and in most countries,
like in Hours, it was his only

261
00:23:25.079 --> 00:23:29.000
hit. Wow. But you know, he continued to do stuff in Europe,

262
00:23:29.039 --> 00:23:34.079
and Falco ended up unfortunately because of
avoiding taxes. He went to the

263
00:23:34.119 --> 00:23:37.839
Dominican Republic, believe it or not, to live or to escape or to

264
00:23:38.079 --> 00:23:42.640
you know. He ended up dining
in a car crash on February of nineteen

265
00:23:42.799 --> 00:23:47.400
ninety eight at the very young age
of forty. Wow. Now I think

266
00:23:47.400 --> 00:23:52.960
I remember seeing him and this song
performed on one of the Music Awards shows

267
00:23:52.000 --> 00:23:55.960
back there. I don't you know
anybody our listeners. You can google that

268
00:23:56.519 --> 00:23:59.440
and and and see if I'm correct. Or if I'm wrong, Hell tell

269
00:23:59.519 --> 00:24:02.200
me I'm wrong. I enjoy I
bring it on. It doesn't matter.

270
00:24:02.559 --> 00:24:07.240
But I remember seeing this performed on
a music show. I don't know if

271
00:24:07.240 --> 00:24:10.720
you recall that. I remember they
were wearing that. I do. Everybody

272
00:24:10.720 --> 00:24:15.400
looked like Napoleon up there. Yeah, a bunch of gay Napoleons, you

273
00:24:15.440 --> 00:24:18.640
know, like Falco. Of course, Mozart was also from Austria. That's

274
00:24:18.720 --> 00:24:23.000
right. But Falco teamed up with
his brothers Rob and Freddy Boland to write

275
00:24:23.000 --> 00:24:27.400
a song about Mozart because they felt
that that Mozart was Austria's son. And

276
00:24:27.519 --> 00:24:32.759
that's the story of Falco. Was
rock me amadeus. I wonder if he

277
00:24:32.839 --> 00:24:37.559
ran away with right? Said fred
that note this is involved back to the

00:26:30.920 --> 00:26:33.680
give me another band that I think
sucks. Oh well, I'm pretty sure

301
00:26:33.680 --> 00:26:37.319
you will. But if you like
them, then that explains a lot.

302
00:26:37.720 --> 00:26:44.640
Spandau Ballet. Ah. The good, the good, they all had incredibly

303
00:26:44.680 --> 00:26:49.839
attractive suits on good looking individuals.
The bad. All their music sucked.

304
00:26:49.920 --> 00:26:56.799
That's why they only had. Their
music was amazing. You have to let

305
00:26:56.799 --> 00:27:03.359
me get the ugly out. He
now. The ugly part of that band

306
00:27:03.519 --> 00:27:07.559
is they got some pretty hot chicks. The lyrics for the song True were

307
00:27:07.599 --> 00:27:14.480
inspired by a crush. Spandau Ballet's
Gary Kemp, of course, and he

308
00:27:14.519 --> 00:27:19.319
said he was infatuated with Claire Grogan. That's what he told the Guardian newspaper.

309
00:27:19.319 --> 00:27:23.119
He said he met her on Top
of the Pops and at one point

310
00:27:23.119 --> 00:27:26.160
traveled up to Scotland to have tea
with her and her mom and dad.

311
00:27:26.440 --> 00:27:34.359
Although his feelings were unfortunately not reciprocated, the relationship remained platonic and it was

312
00:27:36.039 --> 00:27:45.680
enough to trigger the song true,
What a witch the world But now I've

313
00:27:45.799 --> 00:28:03.400
come back. One of the next
line. The truth to be said about

314
00:28:03.400 --> 00:28:07.480
that song is that was a good
song. Yeah, that's a good song,

315
00:28:07.519 --> 00:28:10.759
and you know you're sitting with a
chick and you know you want to

316
00:28:10.799 --> 00:28:15.160
get down and and and and get
to be with her. In many ways,

317
00:28:15.359 --> 00:28:18.920
you cracked that song on now.
I think I was a huge worldwide

318
00:28:18.000 --> 00:28:22.400
hit, going to number one in
twenty one countries right now. I remember,

319
00:28:22.440 --> 00:28:25.079
as a young Chang, I went
to this concert. I've told this

320
00:28:25.119 --> 00:28:29.559
story on a previous show, And
I went to go see this band with

321
00:28:29.599 --> 00:28:33.680
my girlfriend, and uh, I
was not of the new wave look or

322
00:28:33.720 --> 00:28:37.359
the vibe or anything. And I
went in there looking the way the Chang

323
00:28:37.480 --> 00:28:41.519
usually does. And I tell you, I spend most of my time in

324
00:28:41.559 --> 00:28:47.920
that concert in the bathroom, drinking
out of my pint of Jack Daniels that

325
00:28:48.000 --> 00:28:52.880
I snuck in, of sitting in
the stall, putting things up my nose

326
00:28:52.920 --> 00:28:56.880
that I don't need to mention,
and just sitting there, yes and wondering

327
00:28:56.119 --> 00:29:00.079
when the hell am I going to
get out of this show. All those

328
00:29:00.079 --> 00:29:04.720
guys are attractive, and they've got
better nice clothing than me. Yeah,

329
00:29:04.759 --> 00:29:08.880
I figured. You know, new
wave soundtracks were used in mainstream as well

330
00:29:10.079 --> 00:29:14.119
Chang, like in brat pack films
like sixteen Candles, Pretty Pink, to

331
00:29:14.200 --> 00:29:19.960
Breakfast Club Yeah, as well as
low budget hits like Valley Girl by John

332
00:29:21.039 --> 00:29:26.799
Hughes and and I guess John Hughes
really really enjoyed this type of new wave

333
00:29:26.920 --> 00:29:30.039
music, and he placed the songs
from acts such as Psychedelic First, Simple

334
00:29:30.079 --> 00:29:36.119
Minds, OMD That We're Gonna Hear
and Echo and The Bunnyman in his films.

335
00:29:36.319 --> 00:29:41.559
Critics described you know, MTV acts
of the period as shallow or vapid.

336
00:29:41.880 --> 00:29:45.400
Homophobic slurs were used to describe some
of the new wave musicians if you

337
00:29:45.480 --> 00:29:48.400
if you recall, and even though
there was criticism, I mean the danceable

338
00:29:48.440 --> 00:29:53.359
quality of the music and the quirky
fashion sense associated with the new wave artists,

339
00:29:53.400 --> 00:30:00.319
it appealed to to large audiences.
So new Wave had taken over the

340
00:30:00.319 --> 00:30:04.119
world. I mean, let me, let me, let me refresh your

341
00:30:04.119 --> 00:30:08.920
memory with such a great artist as
this Elvis Costello. Yeah, you have

342
00:30:08.960 --> 00:30:14.680
to love Elvis Costello, not only
because they named him Elvis, but I

343
00:30:14.720 --> 00:30:17.960
mean the guy had all kinds of
great songs. I mean, he's even

344
00:30:18.000 --> 00:30:22.759
as deep now, probably as Bob
Dylan is. But Elvis Costello, He's

345
00:30:22.759 --> 00:30:26.359
played with a lot of great musicians. He made really damn good music back

346
00:30:26.400 --> 00:30:30.440
then. My favorite song of his
back then has got to be Allison,

347
00:30:32.119 --> 00:30:40.599
just the way that it carries on
melodically. Listen my boom, the way

348
00:30:40.640 --> 00:30:44.920
he would just carry it. But
you cannot, we cannot talk about the

349
00:30:44.960 --> 00:30:52.440
eighties or new wave without mentioning Elvis
Costello's name. And here's another another Boomtown

350
00:30:52.480 --> 00:30:55.960
to hit right here, the Boomtown
Rats. I don't know if you recall

351
00:30:56.000 --> 00:30:59.880
ever hearing of them. I believe
they had one great, one good song,

352
00:31:00.480 --> 00:31:03.200
and uh, it wasn't even in
the top ten. I think it

353
00:31:03.240 --> 00:31:06.200
was maybe in the top one hundred. So it's not worth mentioning the title

354
00:31:06.240 --> 00:31:11.119
of the song. But that's another
bad It's not worth mentioning it. That's

355
00:31:11.119 --> 00:31:12.759
not worth mentioning it. Like I
said, like you said, we're gonna

356
00:31:12.759 --> 00:31:15.960
give you the good, the bad, and the ugly, And that band

357
00:31:15.039 --> 00:31:18.680
was bad and ugly, so bad
and ugly. The chang doesn't even want

358
00:31:18.680 --> 00:31:22.359
to mention the song that made the
top one hundred, and it wasn't even

359
00:31:22.400 --> 00:31:29.440
the top ten. Speaking of ugly, the performers of this following band were

360
00:31:29.480 --> 00:31:33.880
considered to be totally the opposite of
that. Oh who's that? Watch outs

361
00:31:33.960 --> 00:31:51.640
Here Rock Come, That's right Acin
and Waterman Productions, Peter Burns up Dead

362
00:31:51.680 --> 00:31:55.319
and Alive, decided he wanted to
work with the production team after hearing Dean's

363
00:31:55.319 --> 00:31:59.599
song So Suck and Ake and Waterman
went on to write and produce the hits

364
00:32:00.079 --> 00:32:05.400
that we now know as You Spend
Me Round, written by Peter Burns and

365
00:32:05.519 --> 00:32:10.359
of course this fellow band members Steve
Cooyd, Tim Lever and Mike Percy we

366
00:32:10.519 --> 00:32:30.359
know them as Dead or Alive.
Yeah. The interesting thing about this song

367
00:32:31.039 --> 00:32:37.079
You Spin Me Round, is that
it didn't hit number one in the UK

368
00:32:37.279 --> 00:32:43.079
until it's fourteenth week in the top
seventy five, breaking the record for the

369
00:32:43.400 --> 00:32:46.680
slowest climb to the top of the
charts. Yeah, my wife would just

370
00:32:47.000 --> 00:32:51.000
Missus Chang was just playing this song
the other day. There's a song that

371
00:32:51.119 --> 00:32:53.480
you liked, but you know Missus
Chang, Missus Chang was a metal goddess

372
00:32:53.519 --> 00:33:00.279
at one time. Missus Chang has
more like of many more different GENRESM music

373
00:33:00.319 --> 00:33:02.640
than I do myself. And she
would just play this for me the other

374
00:33:02.720 --> 00:33:07.480
day and saying that hopefully you guys
talk about this song and lo and behold

375
00:33:07.519 --> 00:33:10.920
you bring out this song and you
know, it's probably there's many listeners that

376
00:33:12.079 --> 00:33:14.920
love this song. Me I thought
it was a pile of crap. Oh

377
00:33:14.960 --> 00:33:20.279
here we go, Oh man,
here we go. The new wave fans

378
00:33:20.359 --> 00:33:22.000
must love you right now. You
know what, I want to tell all

379
00:33:22.039 --> 00:33:25.640
our new wave fans that I love
you all from the bottom of my black

380
00:33:25.680 --> 00:33:30.079
heart. I really do, and
I do really like a lot of the

381
00:33:30.319 --> 00:33:32.720
music that we are discussing. But
just every now and then, if you're

382
00:33:34.000 --> 00:33:36.960
familiar with the show, sometimes you're
gonna get banged by the chang and I'm

383
00:33:36.960 --> 00:33:39.000
gonna have to lay it on a
little hard to believe there. Well,

384
00:33:39.039 --> 00:33:42.799
you know, just sometimes, but
that song. You know what that song

385
00:33:42.839 --> 00:33:46.440
reminds me of. Do you remember
the movie The wedding Singer? Oh yeah,

386
00:33:46.559 --> 00:33:52.839
you came. Adam Sandler did the
song, Yes, and what's his

387
00:33:52.960 --> 00:33:54.920
name was in there? Ah?
I forgot his name. Now he is

388
00:33:54.960 --> 00:34:04.160
currently a woman, Alexis. He's
related to a famous sister. I forget

389
00:34:04.160 --> 00:34:07.039
the name. Any of our listeners
out there, go ahead and hit us

390
00:34:07.039 --> 00:34:12.360
with the name of the actress that
he is the former brother. Now he

391
00:34:12.480 --> 00:34:15.920
is a woman. Now his name
is Alexis. But that's what that song

392
00:34:15.000 --> 00:34:19.840
reminds me of all the time that
I ever whenever I do hear it before

393
00:34:19.880 --> 00:34:22.679
I have to vomit, I think
of that movie. Well, now that

394
00:34:22.719 --> 00:34:28.679
we got your feedback on that.
With a catchy synthesizer sound an explosive chorus,

395
00:34:28.840 --> 00:34:31.079
this song was one of the most
memorable hits of the eighties in the

396
00:34:31.199 --> 00:34:35.480
entire eighties, it's still played to
death today. In an interview with Corey

397
00:34:35.480 --> 00:34:37.239
Hart, he told the story behind
the song. He said that an early

398
00:34:37.559 --> 00:34:42.199
spring in nineteen eighty three, he
was nineteen years old kid from Montreal,

399
00:34:42.280 --> 00:34:45.079
recording in the studio near Manchester,
England, and by late May, approaching

400
00:34:45.079 --> 00:34:50.280
his twentieth birthday, he finally held
in his hands a cassette which contained the

401
00:34:50.280 --> 00:34:55.440
finished recordings of the eleven original songs
that would make up his first Offense album

402
00:34:55.559 --> 00:35:01.840
debut. This is Corey Hart Sunglasses
at Night. I'm with my son bless

403
00:35:02.159 --> 00:35:15.519
and my so consour can what you
will then breathing story, I will my

410
00:36:44.079 --> 00:36:52.239
she got my situty. She that's

411
00:36:52.639 --> 00:37:09.679
says, plan on die shance to

412
00:37:09.679 --> 00:37:42.760

me. Gods must to heart control of

413
00:37:54.760 --> 00:38:36.360

with the share time to say listen,

414
00:38:37.960 --> 00:38:52.920
when the sun less, when my
soul, I say to you sun,

415
00:38:52.559 --> 00:39:39.320
my sun, my sun. And
you know while Sunglasses at Night is his

416
00:39:39.440 --> 00:39:45.159
best known song in America, Yeah, it's far from a one hit wonder

417
00:39:45.440 --> 00:39:50.480
because he had nine US top forty
hits. Wow from yeah did you know

418
00:39:50.639 --> 00:39:54.400
that? No? I had no
idea from eighty four to ninety with his

419
00:39:54.519 --> 00:40:00.320
biggest chart hit that came in his
second album, When Never Surrender hit number

420
00:40:00.360 --> 00:40:05.360
three in the US. Wow.
Now I thought he only wore sunglasses a

421
00:40:05.480 --> 00:40:07.920
night, so he was high and
no one could tell that he was high.

422
00:40:07.960 --> 00:40:12.280
Lord knows the chang only wore sunglasses
at night when I was going home

423
00:40:12.320 --> 00:40:15.519
inebriated. So my Mom couldn't tell
I was inebriated. No, that was

424
00:40:15.559 --> 00:40:17.119
still one of those songs. It's
still one of those songs that when it

425
00:40:17.159 --> 00:40:20.920
comes out in the radio, I
pump it up because what would you do

426
00:40:20.960 --> 00:40:24.920
if your sons came home with their
sunglasses on that night? Well, you

427
00:40:24.960 --> 00:40:30.199
know, Dad wears sunglasses at night, so you know, I expect no

428
00:40:30.320 --> 00:40:32.679
less from them. That's good.
Now to scouto boys, if you're listening

429
00:40:32.719 --> 00:40:36.760
to Dad and Chang, were are
those sunglasses at night? And make sure

430
00:40:36.760 --> 00:40:39.880
they're ray bands? That they are, that they are, my friend.

431
00:40:42.239 --> 00:40:45.519
Let's take a little break when we
come back the final round of the new

432
00:40:45.559 --> 00:40:54.840
wave craze with the craziness of Descano
and Changing. You're listening to back to

433
00:40:54.960 --> 00:41:01.320
the eighties. If it's popular,
we do it. It's totally awesome.

434
00:41:01.639 --> 00:41:13.400
And now back to the eighties with
Toscano and Chang. This is back to

435
00:41:13.480 --> 00:41:15.440
the eighties, just kinda from Tescando
and Chang, and this, Ladies and

436
00:41:15.440 --> 00:41:19.360
gentlemen, is the part of the
show where we talk about what made us

437
00:41:19.440 --> 00:41:24.760
angry back in the nineteen eighties.
But in honor of our most talented,

438
00:41:25.679 --> 00:41:31.079
an infamous Chang, we have now
dubbed them changres. So chang what made

439
00:41:31.079 --> 00:41:35.880
you changry back in the eighties,
Well, I'm gonna give it to you,

440
00:41:36.079 --> 00:41:37.760
short and sweet, just like my
sex life. You know what got

441
00:41:37.800 --> 00:41:42.719
me changry back in the eighties,
Andrew McCarthy. I wanted to find that

442
00:41:42.840 --> 00:41:46.760
guy you would say that. You
know what else got me changry back in

443
00:41:46.800 --> 00:41:52.480
the eighties? Tusky? Why Charlie
Sheen didn't go with his original name st

444
00:41:52.800 --> 00:41:57.960
is like his brother? Why didn't
he go under Carlos s Yeah, I

445
00:41:58.360 --> 00:42:01.920
am on a drug. It's called
Charlie Sheen um and uh it's not available

446
00:42:01.960 --> 00:42:05.679
because if you try it once you
will die. Your face will melt off,

447
00:42:05.679 --> 00:42:07.400
and you trot him all weep from
your exploded body. Why did he

448
00:42:07.480 --> 00:42:14.599
go with Charlie Sheen? Did he
think he was winning? Then? You

449
00:42:14.639 --> 00:42:17.480
know what else got me changry back
in the eighties. I never got to

450
00:42:17.559 --> 00:42:22.920
bag Madonna next one. Yeah.
You know what got me hungry back into

451
00:42:22.039 --> 00:42:25.760
nineteen eighties? Well, you never
know. I didn't have a lot of

452
00:42:25.800 --> 00:42:29.079
hair under my arm and she hit
We would have been a perfect match.

453
00:42:29.480 --> 00:42:35.400
You know what else got me changry
back in the eighties, nobody could ever

454
00:42:36.039 --> 00:42:39.719
beat me at doing the wang chong. That's right, I beat everybody doing

455
00:42:40.000 --> 00:42:44.280
with the chang chong. Well,
I'm not going to show you because I'm

456
00:42:44.320 --> 00:42:45.719
afraid that you're taping this and you
will put it on air, and I

457
00:42:45.719 --> 00:42:52.119
don't want anyone to take my outrageous, courageous dance moves and my final changry.

458
00:42:52.360 --> 00:42:57.840
You know what got me changry back
in the eighties, buying bags of

459
00:42:57.960 --> 00:43:02.639
stems and seas and ladies and gentlemen
has been this week's Changreas. If you

460
00:43:02.760 --> 00:43:06.840

464
00:43:21.119 --> 00:43:29.440
politically correct entertainment. Oops Rock Station
No. Back to the eighties with Tesco

465
00:43:29.559 --> 00:43:32.199
and that's right, you're listening to
back to the eighties Teskano and Chang.

466
00:43:32.840 --> 00:43:37.159
If you just joined us, we're
talking about new wave and this is actually

467
00:43:37.199 --> 00:43:42.199
our wrap up new wave craze in
the eighties. New Waves Legacy remained in

468
00:43:42.239 --> 00:43:45.320
the large influx of acts from Great
Britain, of course, and the acts

469
00:43:45.360 --> 00:43:49.360
that were popular in the rock discos
as well as the charts. Name,

470
00:43:49.840 --> 00:43:54.400
which reflected how new wave had been
marketed as modern new waves indie spirit would

471
00:43:54.400 --> 00:43:59.320
be crucial to the development of a
college rock and alternative rock in the latter

472
00:43:59.360 --> 00:44:04.400
half of these and beyond now.
Tiscano I believe that modern rock has been

473
00:44:04.599 --> 00:44:09.880
used as the phrase rather than a
new wave music. In some syndications and

474
00:44:13.559 --> 00:44:15.920
information that's put out there, they
talk about modern rock. I'm sure you

475
00:44:15.960 --> 00:44:19.920
could probably see that on some of
the networks. Also, I think a

476
00:44:20.039 --> 00:44:27.599
lot of bands were labeled correctly as
new wave, yeah, just because they

477
00:44:27.599 --> 00:44:30.000
had a synth, and I think
that's improper. But in this case with

478
00:44:30.159 --> 00:44:35.480
the band's Simple Minds in nineteen eighty
five, with the very very popular hit

479
00:44:35.559 --> 00:44:38.079
don't You Forget About Me off the
Breakfast Club Brother, That's right. It

480
00:44:38.239 --> 00:44:43.960
ran during the opening and closing credits
of the John Hughes film, and it

481
00:44:44.079 --> 00:44:47.599
reached number seventeen on the Billboard two
hundred Albums chart in America. Of course,

482
00:44:47.719 --> 00:44:52.480
the film itself went on to make
more than fifty million worldwide despite the

483
00:44:52.519 --> 00:44:57.559
budget of just about a million dollars, they made more than fifteen billion.

484
00:44:58.039 --> 00:45:02.480
Now you've got to know that that
movie made that song incredibly, incredibly richard

485
00:45:02.559 --> 00:45:07.199
than they were when they first put
it out, oh a hundred and ten

486
00:45:07.320 --> 00:45:12.239
thousand percent, because on both aspects, you cannot think about that song without

487
00:45:12.440 --> 00:45:15.880
thinking about that movie. You cannot
look at that movie and not think about

488
00:45:15.880 --> 00:45:19.239
that song. They go hand in
hand, like peanut butter and jelly of

489
00:45:19.320 --> 00:45:23.960
crap. And John Hughes was of
course to think for this, particularly because

490
00:45:24.000 --> 00:45:28.920
he was a fan of the sounds
and he sprinkled the sounds of what was

491
00:45:28.960 --> 00:45:32.239
coming out of the UK throughout his
movies. We talked about that, and

492
00:45:32.440 --> 00:45:37.599
in this case with The Breakfast Club, I mean, look at the enormous

493
00:45:37.679 --> 00:45:40.880
hit that the movie became. It
is now a cult film, It's got

494
00:45:40.920 --> 00:45:45.840
a cult following, and songs like
Don't You Forget About Me will ring true

495
00:45:46.480 --> 00:45:52.559
throughout I mean the rest of our
lives and beyond. As a matter of

496
00:45:52.599 --> 00:45:55.440
fact, when you ask people that
don't know anything about the eighties, I

497
00:45:55.440 --> 00:45:59.320
would guide him to the song you
want to hear, a song that really

498
00:45:59.360 --> 00:46:04.599
becomes a staple of the nineteen eighties
era. This song is a prime candidate

499
00:46:04.679 --> 00:46:07.719
for one of that and Dead Man's
Party avowing goal, boing goal. I

500
00:46:07.760 --> 00:46:10.039
think, if you're going to put
U two songs and you want the new

501
00:46:10.079 --> 00:46:14.320
generation to grasp, but the vibe
of new wave music in the eighties with

502
00:46:14.679 --> 00:46:17.000
one of those two songs is going
to hit him home. And I wanted

503
00:46:17.039 --> 00:46:22.119
to add on to what you were
talking about. Now, it's iconic that

504
00:46:22.239 --> 00:46:27.599
these songs came out with such great
movies, and it's a little it's a

505
00:46:27.639 --> 00:46:31.199
little disheartening when we think about movies
in the present day, how we don't

506
00:46:31.239 --> 00:46:37.760
have too much music that coincides with
our that is output today with new artists

507
00:46:37.760 --> 00:46:43.559
going with new movies. But the
sad thing that's kind of twisted is a

508
00:46:43.599 --> 00:46:47.039
lot of movies that they put out
now a lot of older music is played

509
00:46:47.039 --> 00:46:51.719
in the background. So it's kind
of like, you know, the proof

510
00:46:51.800 --> 00:46:55.719
is into putting older music stands to
be more timeless and priceless than a lot

511
00:46:55.760 --> 00:47:00.800
of the new artists. And I'm
knocking I'm not knocking down the new artists

512
00:47:00.880 --> 00:47:04.760
or the new music. I'm just
saying that it's not as good, it's

513
00:47:04.840 --> 00:47:10.920
not as hard felt and it doesn't
really coincide with too much nostalgia that people

514
00:47:10.960 --> 00:47:15.079
want to put into a movie to
make that movie a feel good movie.

515
00:47:15.559 --> 00:47:19.840
Yeah, and it's not as um, it's not as new, although it

516
00:47:19.880 --> 00:47:22.440
may be new, but it's not
as new, if that, if that

517
00:47:22.480 --> 00:47:25.719
makes any sense. It's not Yes, you know, it's not groundbreaking music.

518
00:47:25.760 --> 00:47:30.519
It's not coming out for the very
first time like it was in the

519
00:47:30.559 --> 00:47:35.440
eighties. Well, there is a
band. There's a band Chang that I

520
00:47:35.480 --> 00:47:40.239
wanted to talk about that. If
you're familiar with Wang Chung Chang Wong.

521
00:47:44.880 --> 00:47:51.599
They originally recorded a demo in London
and around Christmas time, and the demo

522
00:47:51.679 --> 00:47:55.719
of course, after To Live and
Die in la they had a choice facing

523
00:47:55.719 --> 00:48:00.840
them, according to Wang Chung,
which is either to do more movies or

524
00:48:01.000 --> 00:48:06.440
to write more songs, and so
they recorded a hit. One of their

525
00:48:06.519 --> 00:48:13.199
hit songs on this hit record was
a song called Everybody Wang Chung Tonight.

526
00:48:27.719 --> 00:48:30.559
Yeah, Chang was doing the Whang
Chung when I was inebriated with some of

527
00:48:30.599 --> 00:48:34.639
my New Way buddies. Why not, Who's this is the only hit song

528
00:48:34.800 --> 00:48:39.000
we know where the band name was
used as a verb in the line everybody

529
00:48:39.079 --> 00:48:45.880
Wing Chung tonight, taking place of
the phrase everybody have Fun Tonight, which

530
00:48:45.920 --> 00:48:51.199
they also used the song It's one
of those songs changed that when you hear

531
00:48:51.400 --> 00:48:53.199
somewhere publicly, you know, at
a fair or or back then in the

532
00:48:53.239 --> 00:48:57.599
eighties, when you heard it at
some of where people went out and party.

533
00:48:58.119 --> 00:49:04.639
I mean this carnival, the carnivals, parties, man house parties,

534
00:49:05.360 --> 00:49:08.960
discos and places, you know,
places like you never went to. I

535
00:49:09.119 --> 00:49:13.559
partied at some house parties. I
partied at carnivals. I partied everywhere.

536
00:49:13.599 --> 00:49:16.920
Wang Chung could be the wang chung, the chang was chang was doing the

537
00:49:16.920 --> 00:49:20.960
Whang Kung. I don't know why
you don't believe. Oh my gosh.

538
00:49:21.000 --> 00:49:23.760
Well, the video that they made
from the song was around the time that

539
00:49:23.800 --> 00:49:30.440
Peter Gabriel's sledge Hammer became a cool
hit Peter Gabriel the former dad singer of

540
00:49:30.480 --> 00:49:37.599
Genesis before the Grier Babies. But
but this video was actually banned in the

541
00:49:37.679 --> 00:49:40.840
UK because some of the BBC guys
said that the particular frame rate could cause

542
00:49:40.960 --> 00:49:46.920
epileptic seizures. Because the video video
Everybody Have Fun Tonight. People loved the

543
00:49:46.960 --> 00:49:52.440
song, but it had so many
edits, so many cuts so many frame

544
00:49:52.519 --> 00:49:55.639
rates. In the UK, the
BBC guys you know whoever run the show

545
00:49:55.679 --> 00:50:00.320
over there, said the particular frame
rate could cause epileptic and people, so

546
00:50:00.639 --> 00:50:06.400
they banned it from the UK.
Wow, now that is a jackass move

547
00:50:06.440 --> 00:50:08.920
and I'm not gonna I'm not gonna
hold my tongue. That is a jackass

548
00:50:09.079 --> 00:50:13.840
Yeah, I'm sure eventually it was. It was played after people realize that,

549
00:50:13.960 --> 00:50:16.440
no, it's not going to give
you epileptic seizures. I mean,

550
00:50:16.519 --> 00:50:19.960
come on, maybe it gave some
people a headache, but it wasn't going

551
00:50:20.039 --> 00:50:22.519
to give him epileptic seizures. Please. The only time I ever got an

552
00:50:22.519 --> 00:50:27.440
epileptic seizure, and I'm not I
don't have epilepsy is when I went to

553
00:50:27.519 --> 00:50:30.960
go see Spando Bella because I was
thinking I gotta get that. He honestly

554
00:50:30.039 --> 00:50:34.760
really didn't like the band. Honestly, it's just getting low down. Let's

555
00:50:34.800 --> 00:50:37.480
hear right now, just between you
and me, nobody's gonna hear this.

556
00:50:37.280 --> 00:50:40.840
I hated that band. I hated
that band. With every ounce of changlihood

557
00:50:40.880 --> 00:50:43.920
that I had. I just couldn't
get past it. It was like,

558
00:50:43.960 --> 00:50:46.280
you guys dressed like Frank Sinatra.
But you're so soft and smooth. You're

559
00:50:46.639 --> 00:50:52.480
you remind me of of Jurgen's female
body lotion. I've had enough. He's

560
00:50:52.039 --> 00:50:57.199
yeah, well this thing isn't on. No, I turned the mic off

561
00:50:57.360 --> 00:51:02.599
that nobody hears your real opinion.
Thank god. The interesting thing is that

562
00:51:04.079 --> 00:51:10.000
we have this chemistry between us because
I absolutely love spandau Ballet and most most

563
00:51:10.119 --> 00:51:13.960
new wave music. But you know
what, there's bands. There's bands that

564
00:51:14.039 --> 00:51:17.039
I don't like. I'll hear them, and I'm not talking about like B

565
00:51:17.199 --> 00:51:20.280
fifty two. I can't stand them. I'll change it. I don't want

566
00:51:20.280 --> 00:51:22.639
to hear them. But there's bands
that are not my favorite, such as

567
00:51:22.840 --> 00:51:29.599
The Smith's Psychedelic Furs. I don't
really like the bands. I'll still hear

568
00:51:29.679 --> 00:51:31.440
them, but they're not my favorite. You know, bands like that.

569
00:51:32.199 --> 00:51:35.559
I can't stand neither one of those
bands. And I'm with you. I

570
00:51:35.599 --> 00:51:37.239
wouldn't even want them. If somebody
put them on my car radio, I

571
00:51:37.280 --> 00:51:43.039
would immediately probably breaks. However,
No, and I, However, when

572
00:51:43.159 --> 00:51:46.840
you and I meet up the next
time that you're in LA, We're going

573
00:51:46.960 --> 00:51:54.000
to Hollywood and I'm putting full blast
the Cure, Depeche Mode and some other

574
00:51:54.039 --> 00:51:58.920
band you don't like. Oh,
let's just do spandau ballet. Oh,

575
00:51:59.039 --> 00:52:01.239
you better make sure that we're driving
in that other part of Hollywood so we

576
00:52:01.400 --> 00:52:05.760
fit in, because if you go
down Sunset down Rocker Lane, they're gonna

577
00:52:05.760 --> 00:52:12.559
look at you and say, hey, one of you guys, does guy

578
00:52:12.639 --> 00:52:15.400
in the leather jacket and the leather
cowboy had looks like a rocker at heart?

579
00:52:15.480 --> 00:52:19.400
And I've got my leather jacket with
zippers as well, my friend.

580
00:52:20.920 --> 00:52:22.840
Good, that's good. Now,
I don't want the Michael don I've got

581
00:52:22.880 --> 00:52:27.639
the biker leather jacket. I don't
want. I don't want you going thriller

582
00:52:27.760 --> 00:52:30.880
on me. Ever, wish you
could go back to the eighties with the

583
00:52:30.960 --> 00:52:37.119
crazy clothes and those wacky hair dues, Well, let Tiscano and Chang transport

584
00:52:37.199 --> 00:52:46.480
you back in time, back to
the eighties. Everybody who's an eighties fan,

585
00:52:46.639 --> 00:52:51.519
I do want to take a moment
aside and let you know that back

586
00:52:51.559 --> 00:52:54.880

soon when we will be a full blown

00:53:07.960 --> 00:53:13.840
we're gonna be playing the absolute best
of the eighties, everything that the eighties

591
00:53:13.880 --> 00:53:16.480
had. Whether Chang and I don't
like it or whether we love it,

592
00:53:16.719 --> 00:53:22.159

every genre from the music we've discussed these

596
00:53:37.760 --> 00:53:42.559
last three shows. We're gonna hit
hard rock, We're gonna hit blues rock,

597
00:53:42.639 --> 00:53:46.079
we're gonna hit pop rock, We're
going to hit some of the dance

598
00:53:46.159 --> 00:53:50.320
numbers. We're even going to dive
in and play some old school hip hop,

599
00:53:50.639 --> 00:53:53.159
which the Chang is a big fan
of old school hip hop, real

600
00:53:53.280 --> 00:53:57.719
hip hop, the hip hop that
told the story of the street, told

601
00:53:57.800 --> 00:54:02.719
the story of a lifestyle, told
the story of being suppressed, especially in

602
00:54:02.800 --> 00:54:09.239
Los Angeles and New York. We're
also going to have certain different types of

603
00:54:09.400 --> 00:54:13.440
shows that we're going to throw at
you. So Tascanno and I are going

604
00:54:13.519 --> 00:54:15.480
to man up on our own type
of his show, and we're going to

605
00:54:15.559 --> 00:54:22.880
bring you some, i'd say,
a few hours of great eighties rock and

606
00:54:22.119 --> 00:54:29.599
roll music and radio style. We're
gonna give you a radio shows that are

607
00:54:29.760 --> 00:54:36.320
very reminiscent of the eighties, reminiscent
of certain state stations at both Tascanno and

608
00:54:36.440 --> 00:54:38.800
I and some of our future jocks
that are going to spin upon you for

609
00:54:38.960 --> 00:54:43.239
my rockers and rollers out there,
I'm going to be doing a special show

610
00:54:43.360 --> 00:54:46.400
and we are going to call this
show Bang with the Chang. I'm going

611
00:54:46.440 --> 00:54:52.000
to give you everything from glammor metal
to black metal, good old fashioned hard

612
00:54:52.079 --> 00:54:54.360
rock metal, classic old hard rock. I'm going to give you glad metal,

613
00:54:54.719 --> 00:55:00.760
everything under the rock and roll umbrella
I will unleash upon you on Bang

614
00:55:00.840 --> 00:55:06.519
with the Chang. Hopefully Tuscano is
going to break out maybe some of his

615
00:55:06.679 --> 00:55:10.360
Miami vice attire and he's going to
slip that on and he's going to be

616
00:55:10.480 --> 00:55:16.400
slipping into giving you some of the
classic LA type terrestrial radio fund you know,

617
00:55:16.480 --> 00:55:22.480
almost like a Rick D's, but
we'll call him Rick Keys because he's

618
00:55:22.519 --> 00:55:27.639
going to teach you know as mucho
Morales from Power one, Oh six in

619
00:55:27.960 --> 00:55:32.360
La a long time ago when he
and I worked very brief time together and

620
00:55:32.599 --> 00:55:36.079
I asked him, you know what
name should I give myself to be an

621
00:55:36.119 --> 00:55:38.599
on air jock, And he said, that's easy, You're super Mario.

622
00:55:39.280 --> 00:55:44.920
So I think super Mario is coming
back very reminiscent of the eighties. So

623
00:55:45.199 --> 00:55:47.920
I do want to keep you guys
in the loop of what's going on here

624
00:55:49.000 --> 00:55:51.840
at Back to the Eighties. So
it's going to be a fun time as

625
00:55:51.920 --> 00:55:54.039
we go into play music, but
the back to the Eighties show will also

626
00:55:54.199 --> 00:56:01.000
remain as well as the staple of
KAH ninety five. Also, I want

627
00:56:01.000 --> 00:56:06.639
to remind you guys that following Friday, we start off a series on rock

628
00:56:07.760 --> 00:56:12.519
and roll, rock and roll and
metal and beyond. We have some very

629
00:56:12.599 --> 00:56:17.519
special and entertaining guests from the world
of rock as well. We also have

630
00:56:19.880 --> 00:56:25.159
disc jockeys on air personalities from a
radio station in Phoenix. So I want

631
00:56:25.199 --> 00:56:30.440
to keep you guys involved and have
you guys join us, because it's going

632
00:56:30.519 --> 00:56:34.639
to be getting better and better as
the Fridays pass by. In the meantime,

633
00:56:35.000 --> 00:56:38.760
Chang the featured and final song from
the John Hughes directed movie Pritty and

634
00:56:38.840 --> 00:57:22.159
Pink and some other films even in
the modern decade. OMD wrote them Please

635
00:57:22.360 --> 00:57:45.159
Don't how now Fading. This is
a song once again that was part of

636
00:57:45.400 --> 00:57:50.440
Hollywood that Hollywood just made it explode. And thanks to the use in its

637
00:57:50.519 --> 00:57:53.480
movie, this was for OMD.
Of course in America, it was the

638
00:57:53.800 --> 00:58:00.880
biggest hit Yes, Pretty and Pink. You know that's one song I would

639
00:58:00.880 --> 00:58:02.559
allow you to play while we're going
down with your boulevard and i would be

640
00:58:04.039 --> 00:58:06.760
I would stand up, probably because
We're gonna be in your convertible and I'm

641
00:58:06.760 --> 00:58:09.920
gonna be yelling for Molly Ringwald to
come they give me my prompt kiss that

642
00:58:10.039 --> 00:58:14.320
I never got because Chang never went
to the problem. So thanks to his

643
00:58:14.440 --> 00:58:17.400
houson movies, it was the biggest
hit for omb in America with their song

644
00:58:17.840 --> 00:58:23.079
if You'd Leave Yes. Andrew McCarthy
was always one actor that got me changry

645
00:58:23.119 --> 00:58:25.880
back in the eighties. I was
always hoping to see him on Malrow so

646
00:58:25.960 --> 00:58:30.000
I could just punch his little preppy
face right into the wall. I'm just

647
00:58:30.119 --> 00:58:34.679
saying, he he got under my
skin. He to me, he was

648
00:58:34.760 --> 00:58:43.000
like eggs amoff, just irritating the
hell out of him. You can dispense

649
00:58:43.119 --> 00:58:51.199
with the pleasant trees you're listening to. Just knno and change you don't know

650
00:58:51.599 --> 00:59:04.360
the power back to the eighties on
behalf of Tiscano and Chang. I am

651
00:59:04.440 --> 00:59:07.880
Tiscano and I'd like to thank you
guys for taking the time to listen,

652
00:59:07.000 --> 00:59:12.519
and a big shout out to everybody
abroad from the United States and to the

653
00:59:12.679 --> 00:59:15.480
folks who kindly lend their time to
us here in the United States as well.

654
00:59:15.840 --> 00:59:19.760
We love you, guys, and
it's because of you that we're doing

655
00:59:19.840 --> 00:59:22.960
this. Oh yeah, because of
us two, because we love the eighties.

656
00:59:22.320 --> 00:59:27.599
So have a great week a safe
one, and God bless Chang.

00:59:27.679 --> 00:59:30.920
