1
00:00:00.120 --> 00:00:04.240
I'm so scared. I wish I
had a ham sandwich to call my nerves.

2
00:00:07.440 --> 00:00:10.880
Find a place to hide. Where
are you going, fuzzy face,

3
00:00:13.720 --> 00:00:29.039
That's what I was afraid of.
I don't wait for me. Gave me

4
00:00:29.160 --> 00:00:47.520
back. This is Back to the
Eighties, the radio show that introduces the

5
00:00:47.560 --> 00:00:51.320
eighties to a whole new generation.
We're here to talk about the things that

6
00:00:51.399 --> 00:00:56.159
made that decade the best decade of
them all. We're here every Friday,

7
00:00:56.399 --> 00:01:02.200
and so glad you can make it
to this very special rendition of remembering the

8
00:01:02.280 --> 00:01:07.120
new Wave age with me as he
is every single Friday. Is a man

9
00:01:07.159 --> 00:01:11.760
that has been known to carry thirty
one flavors of rum under his lemmy of

10
00:01:11.840 --> 00:01:17.120
motor had Had. It's been said
that metal music got its name after Chain

11
00:01:17.239 --> 00:01:22.640
threatened every metal rocker with a metal
bat. We hear back to the eighties.

12
00:01:22.680 --> 00:01:26.920
Call him the Chang Oh, my
good friend, Tuscano, my favorite

13
00:01:26.959 --> 00:01:33.599
Italian since of course Chef Boyardi,
my favorite Italian since the Italian that made

14
00:01:33.640 --> 00:01:44.920
pizza. Before we start to show, let the battle give the rang for

15
00:01:45.159 --> 00:01:49.799
its time to sit with Tuscano and
Chang Oh boy, do we have a

16
00:01:51.040 --> 00:01:55.760
special show for everybody. You know
and this and this show is brought to

17
00:01:55.799 --> 00:02:00.120
you by by you guys, the
fans. We have had plenty of request

18
00:02:00.200 --> 00:02:06.640
to do specials on new wave music, and today is the day so change.

19
00:02:06.959 --> 00:02:10.360
Before we get started with the topic
of new wave, I do want

20
00:02:10.360 --> 00:02:16.240
to give a special announcement because we
gave a little bit of news the Friday

21
00:02:16.360 --> 00:02:22.199
after the Super Bowl. I don't
know if you remember the article that we

22
00:02:22.240 --> 00:02:28.800
read regarding Bruce Springsteen getting you know, getting arrested. Well, for those

23
00:02:28.800 --> 00:02:32.439
of you who don't know, Bruce
Springstein had pleaded guilty this is this past

24
00:02:32.520 --> 00:02:38.800
Wednesday, to charges that basically driving
under the influence right when they interviewed him,

25
00:02:38.840 --> 00:02:43.840
he said I only had two small
shots of tequila, bringing his alcohol

26
00:02:44.439 --> 00:02:50.120
level to point zero two, which
basically was well under the legal limit of

27
00:02:50.319 --> 00:02:53.639
point zero eight. So all charges
were dropped. He did, of course,

28
00:02:53.719 --> 00:02:59.039
have to pay five hundred dollars in
a fine and forty dollars in court

29
00:02:59.080 --> 00:03:02.360
fees, which I am sure he's
not going to have a problem pain.

30
00:03:02.800 --> 00:03:09.840
Wow, now that is how could
I say this a shot in the butt

31
00:03:10.080 --> 00:03:15.400
when you're not expecting it. The
funny thing is he's the boss. Of

32
00:03:15.400 --> 00:03:21.680
course he was going to get off. But the funny thing is being famous,

33
00:03:22.240 --> 00:03:27.560
having googles of millions, and to
get such a small fine. Oh

34
00:03:27.639 --> 00:03:30.800
my god, Tom Cruise is in
the room as he did. I find

35
00:03:30.840 --> 00:03:38.759
it appalling. I find it astonishing. I find it every bit ridiculous,

36
00:03:39.159 --> 00:03:43.800
and I will why now? Is
this because it was the fine was so

37
00:03:43.879 --> 00:03:49.319
low to me? It's on every
level, somebody of the working class,

38
00:03:49.319 --> 00:03:52.719
somebody a poverty level. First of
all, let's get this straight, bro,

39
00:03:53.159 --> 00:03:55.919
and I do not condone drinking and
driving. I don't care how many

40
00:03:57.000 --> 00:04:00.039
you had. The chang has made
that stupid mistaken his past, and the

41
00:04:00.159 --> 00:04:04.360
chant has learned from that mistake.
But also I've had my best friend killed

42
00:04:04.919 --> 00:04:12.280
due to under the influence of alcohol
on the open road. I don't conduct

43
00:04:12.280 --> 00:04:15.079
it's I mean, it's a serious
offense, very serious offense. And I

44
00:04:15.120 --> 00:04:18.480
don't care if he had two shots, three shots. I don't care if

45
00:04:18.519 --> 00:04:25.120
it was a bathwater that he was
drinking, if he was under the influence.

46
00:04:25.639 --> 00:04:30.439
Such a low fine is deplorable,
I think, yeah, I mean

47
00:04:30.600 --> 00:04:33.360
it, look if it would have
been you or me being pulled over with

48
00:04:33.680 --> 00:04:38.600
half a shot my friend exactly,
as a matter of fact, without even

49
00:04:38.639 --> 00:04:41.959
drinking anything at all, just having
a can of Coca Cola in there,

50
00:04:42.319 --> 00:04:45.959
it would have been a different story
just for having I don't know, a

51
00:04:46.000 --> 00:04:48.920
bottle of shoot. I drive with
wine, a wine bottle all the time

52
00:04:49.000 --> 00:04:53.439
next to me. Sometimes when I
come from the store, I don't open

53
00:04:53.519 --> 00:04:56.360
it, of course, And if
it would have been me, you know

54
00:04:56.519 --> 00:05:00.439
they'd give you, I don't know, a fifty thousand dollars fine and who

55
00:05:00.480 --> 00:05:03.199
knows how many months in jail.
So yeah, you're absolutely right. It's

56
00:05:03.199 --> 00:05:05.639
not now a guy like me.
You know what I look like? Our

57
00:05:05.680 --> 00:05:10.199
listeners they might know who I look
like. I don't know. I think

58
00:05:10.240 --> 00:05:14.439
I'll have to put a pay a
picture of myself on Facebook to let our

59
00:05:14.480 --> 00:05:18.199
lovely listeners know what the chain really
looks like. M But a guy that

60
00:05:18.199 --> 00:05:23.879
would look like me would be dragged
out of the vehicle, carded after Only

61
00:05:23.920 --> 00:05:30.600
after I was dragged, beaten,
kicked, dehumanized. Read the rights to

62
00:05:30.720 --> 00:05:35.439
me before. Because anybody that knows
a legal system, you are not proven

63
00:05:36.240 --> 00:05:42.959
innocent until proven guilty. You are
guilty to proven innocent, and innocence only

64
00:05:43.000 --> 00:05:48.480
falls upon those who have the proper
fiscal amount of money and the bank account

65
00:05:48.759 --> 00:05:56.439
or job, and you will walk
now Bruce Springsteen walked. I know this

66
00:05:56.560 --> 00:05:59.480
is taking it off guard, but
you know, I do love my Bruce

67
00:05:59.519 --> 00:06:01.639
Springsteen, and I'm a big fan
of the E Street Band, big fan

68
00:06:01.680 --> 00:06:05.680
of Bruce Springsteen. But I being
on the other side of the coin,

69
00:06:05.759 --> 00:06:11.120
the working man, the man of
color, the man that has a style

70
00:06:11.680 --> 00:06:18.279
that is unbefitting to the common man, that the police force find reputable to

71
00:06:18.439 --> 00:06:24.560
be let go on such issues.
So I have a very big problem with

72
00:06:24.600 --> 00:06:26.839
this. If you just joined us, this is Back to the Eighties,

73
00:06:26.839 --> 00:06:29.480

the eighties to a whole new generation.

00:06:29.639 --> 00:06:32.639
And that's right. Today, I
have a special surprise because this is a

75
00:06:32.680 --> 00:06:35.920
two part show. To see the
way it was gonna work is like this.

76
00:06:35.959 --> 00:06:39.519

music from nineteen eighty, eighty one,

77

and eighty four. So sit back, relax, grab yourself with your favorite

79
00:06:48.279 --> 00:06:54.399
brew, and join us on back
to the eighties. We're gonna be right

80
00:06:54.439 --> 00:06:58.759
back with a bunch more of this
madness. Right, don't you go nowhere?

music. And before we jump into

99
00:08:33.080 --> 00:08:35.320
that, I have a fun fact, a Chang fun fact, Tuscano.

100
00:08:35.360 --> 00:08:39.440
Are you ready for this? I'm
ready, man. Go ahead. Now,

101
00:08:39.480 --> 00:08:45.480
everybody of my eighties ladies and my
eighties babies has to remember in nineteen

102
00:08:45.720 --> 00:08:50.799
eighty one, August first, the
birth of Yes, Yes, I'm a

103
00:08:50.879 --> 00:09:20.120
Hater, MTV debut on TV America. Demand I want my MTV. I

104
00:09:20.159 --> 00:09:28.399
want my MTV, I want my
MTV, Hi Company, HI want my

105
00:09:28.600 --> 00:09:37.279
mt B. That's right. The
legendary MTV, which was a somewhat radio

106
00:09:37.440 --> 00:09:41.720
stationed of the eye, not the
mind, but the eye where video made

107
00:09:41.720 --> 00:09:46.799
its presence. And on that day
the very first new wave song played,

108
00:09:46.919 --> 00:09:52.279
Oh my God, hold onto your
seats, put your seatbelts on, throw

109
00:09:52.399 --> 00:09:56.120
your head in the toilet if you're
like me, and get ready to puke

110
00:09:56.159 --> 00:10:13.000
one up. The bubbles came out
with video killed the radio. And how

111
00:10:13.039 --> 00:10:16.679
many times have I stated this in
all the years that you and I have

112
00:10:16.679 --> 00:10:26.240
sat beside each other on the microphone, that this was a very, very

113
00:10:26.919 --> 00:10:31.480
the greatest slap in the face to
terrestrial radio ever since. MTV is crap.

114
00:10:31.519 --> 00:10:35.440
Now they don't even show music videos. It's a bunch of teenage reality

115
00:10:35.480 --> 00:10:41.519
craps condoning sex and stupidity. And
I'm not an old part Hell no,

116
00:10:41.200 --> 00:10:43.799
I'm as hip as they come.
Yeah, well, you know what.

117
00:10:45.639 --> 00:10:48.840
I loved MTV. Wh When MTV
came out, I was glued to the

118
00:10:48.919 --> 00:10:54.759
television because I've always been a radio
guy, and when I was at a

119
00:10:54.879 --> 00:10:58.360
very very young age when it came
out, I was just glued to the

120
00:10:58.360 --> 00:11:03.720
TV because for me it was actually
now I get to see what all the

121
00:11:05.519 --> 00:11:07.360
artists look like, and to me
it was it was fantastic. Now,

122
00:11:07.600 --> 00:11:11.279
granted, none of the videos made
sense. Could you remember that all these

123
00:11:11.360 --> 00:11:15.519
videos that they came up was back
then? None of them made sense.

124
00:11:16.679 --> 00:11:22.039
Majority of the videos made had nothing
to do with the song at all.

125
00:11:22.159 --> 00:11:26.919
Maybe some had storylines that were closed, but not It was all pretty much

126
00:11:26.000 --> 00:11:30.639
just a video shooting. They were
put in music behind kind of like a

127
00:11:30.679 --> 00:11:35.559
bad Runway show where a bunch of
models are stepping to the groove of a

128
00:11:35.639 --> 00:11:39.440
song that has nothing to do with
what they're promoting. Out there. Now?

129
00:11:39.440 --> 00:11:45.639
Do you remember the famous VJs of
MTV. Oh, who can forget

130
00:11:46.080 --> 00:11:50.639
of Martha Quinn, Nina Blackwood.
Let's see Nina Blackwood, who, by

131
00:11:50.679 --> 00:11:52.480
the way, do you remember what
she looked like? She was gorgeous.

132
00:11:52.480 --> 00:11:56.200
She was a killer, right specy
blog rocker. I think she's had one

133
00:11:56.279 --> 00:12:00.960
too many camels with no filters.
But good guy, he was gorgeous.

134
00:12:00.960 --> 00:12:07.559
Who could forget the legendary J.
J. Jackson of La Rock fame of

135
00:12:07.679 --> 00:12:11.840
terrestrial radio back in the days of
KMET, A good friend of Jim Ladd.

136
00:12:11.200 --> 00:12:15.759
Triple J Jackson is what they would
call him, I believe on KMET

137
00:12:15.879 --> 00:12:18.759
and kills for the short time that
he was there. Also, there was

138
00:12:18.919 --> 00:12:24.559
Mark Goodman, who could forget that? Who could forget that? Perm Mark

139
00:12:24.600 --> 00:12:30.320
Goodman was the All Mark Goodman needed
was some rainbow suspenders and he was the

140
00:12:30.320 --> 00:12:35.720
guy to hang out with at a
park playing frisbee with lee by cut shorts.

141
00:12:35.919 --> 00:12:39.440
Who could forget? And then everybody
forgets this guy Alan Hunter. Yes,

142
00:12:41.000 --> 00:12:43.519
he was kind of the blonde,
kind of quirky guy, you know

143
00:12:43.559 --> 00:12:46.440
what I mean, kind of had
the little bit of a mullet going,

144
00:12:46.480 --> 00:12:52.000
but he kind of had that Brian
Adams kind of look, you know,

145
00:12:52.039 --> 00:12:56.559
the farm kind of kids. He
had that feathered yeah, he had that

146
00:12:56.720 --> 00:13:00.799
feathered hair that some that a lot
of women had. And I'm sure he

147
00:13:00.879 --> 00:13:07.720
used that quinnette too. Yeah lesbian, here's hey, Hey, that's right.

148
00:13:07.759 --> 00:13:09.279
I said it. We're not going
to cut it because here add back

149
00:13:09.279 --> 00:13:13.200
to the eighties. We want to
make you laugh and everybody needs a good

150
00:13:13.279 --> 00:13:20.399
laugh. I no pun intended.
I have no problem with homosexuality at all.

151
00:13:20.519 --> 00:13:22.879
I have many many cousins that are
no not at all. You know,

152
00:13:22.960 --> 00:13:26.720
I was thinking about that, Chang. I was thinking about that the

153
00:13:26.759 --> 00:13:30.440
other day. You know, we
have this program called Back to the Eighties,

154
00:13:30.440 --> 00:13:33.200
and people have to understand that people
back in the eighties didn't get offended

155
00:13:33.200 --> 00:13:37.600
for every single little thing. So
today we want to talk about new wave

156
00:13:37.720 --> 00:13:41.120
music. And just let you know, if you've just joined us, you

157
00:13:41.159 --> 00:13:46.120
can always join us every single day
of the week, twenty four hours a

158
00:13:46.159 --> 00:13:48.519
day through our Facebook page, and
I want to encourage you guys to do

159
00:13:48.559 --> 00:13:54.559
so. So we're talking about the
eighties new wave music that was formed from

160
00:13:54.559 --> 00:14:01.080
the remnants of seventies punk rock.
Eighties new wave took the aggressive nature of

161
00:14:01.200 --> 00:14:05.519
punk then added a little bit of
dance beat to give it a little disco

162
00:14:05.639 --> 00:14:11.039
feel, and then through some of
the keyboards they gave it a distinct eighties

163
00:14:11.320 --> 00:14:26.919
new wave sound. I think it
was the birth of the synthesized rock and

164
00:14:26.039 --> 00:14:35.360
roll, synthesized music. And here's
the double edged sword of what Chang thinks

165
00:14:35.399 --> 00:14:43.679
synthesized music brought to the to the
status of music. I think the synthesized

166
00:14:43.080 --> 00:14:48.279
music that came into the eighties,
it had its positive effects on certain bands

167
00:14:48.600 --> 00:14:56.000
and certain songs sounding and styles correct. It kind of created a signature for

168
00:14:56.120 --> 00:15:01.879
certain bands and made them really stand
up of others too, almost a greatness

169
00:15:01.919 --> 00:15:07.279
of that era. But then also
you have some synthesized music that was utilized

170
00:15:07.759 --> 00:15:16.080
in other forms of bands that were
already noted for their great music without synthesizing

171
00:15:16.120 --> 00:15:20.039
it, such as Journey that of
course, this is a different realm of

172
00:15:20.159 --> 00:15:24.120
music. With Van Halen, synthesized
rock sounded really good with Gary Newman,

173
00:15:24.679 --> 00:15:30.320
but it didn't do too good with
The Cars, which is a great band

174
00:15:30.320 --> 00:15:35.480
that came out back then Human League, where the synthesized music kind of popeyes

175
00:15:35.559 --> 00:15:41.360
them and really kind of cheapened I
think some of the bands and didn't let

176
00:15:41.360 --> 00:15:46.919
them progress into the next level because
synthesized rock has it's positive and is negative.

177
00:15:46.960 --> 00:15:50.360
I don't know if I'm going off
key. I don't know if you

178
00:15:50.519 --> 00:15:52.679
kept up with me out there,
boys and girls, what do you think

179
00:15:52.679 --> 00:15:54.080
too? Well, No, I
think you're absolutely right. As a matter

180
00:15:54.080 --> 00:15:58.360
of fact, I would. I
remember an interview they did in the seventies

181
00:15:58.879 --> 00:16:02.919
Jim Morrison, and he said,
Oh, wait a minute, I think

182
00:16:03.440 --> 00:16:08.879
I think I've seen the red phone
go off behind you. This is the

183
00:16:08.919 --> 00:16:11.879
one and only back to the eighties. Who do I have on the other

184
00:16:11.960 --> 00:16:18.960
line? Is everybody in? Is
everybody in? Oh? Is this this

185
00:16:18.000 --> 00:16:22.279
camp? Be from beyond? It's
our line from beyond? Hey, how

186
00:16:22.399 --> 00:16:26.480
you doing. I'm up here with
Raymond Zeric and we're about to write another

187
00:16:26.519 --> 00:16:29.879
great Doors song, even though the
other two guys are still alive, but

188
00:16:29.919 --> 00:16:33.519
they're getting old, so they should
be up here right now. Riders on

189
00:16:33.600 --> 00:16:42.840
those doors into your house, we
roll. Somebody grabbed me a bong.

190
00:16:44.559 --> 00:16:51.159
Riders on the storm. Hey,
everybody listen, Jim Morrison, how are

191
00:16:51.200 --> 00:16:53.919
you out there? I've been gone
a long time. Who am I talking

192
00:16:53.960 --> 00:16:56.559
to you? Who called me?
Well? Actually, the phone rang in

193
00:16:56.600 --> 00:17:00.759
our studio. Jim, this is
Oscano from Tiscano and chang here at back

194
00:17:00.759 --> 00:17:06.720
to the eighties radio. And I've
never heard of you Italian restaurant. What

195
00:17:07.200 --> 00:17:11.640
do you fancy Hammela? Please get
me another. Well, you know what,

196
00:17:11.799 --> 00:17:15.599
whenever our red phone from beyond calls, we never know who's on the

197
00:17:15.640 --> 00:17:18.200
other line, and it just happened
to be you. Let me ask you

198
00:17:18.200 --> 00:17:22.319
another. I have you on the
line. I remember years ago, when

199
00:17:22.359 --> 00:17:26.839
you were alive and walking this earth, that you gave an interview and they

200
00:17:26.920 --> 00:17:30.480
asked you what do you think that
the future of music will be? And

201
00:17:30.559 --> 00:17:36.160
I remember very attentively that you said
that the majority of music would be done

202
00:17:36.279 --> 00:17:41.480
through electronics or a lot of synthesizer
being used. Do you remember, yes,

203
00:17:41.559 --> 00:17:45.200
I did say that. I remember
that, and I remember I had

204
00:17:45.240 --> 00:17:49.680
done a half ounce of smack,
I had smarked a quarter pound of Colombian

205
00:17:49.759 --> 00:17:57.279
goals and barbituates of that time.
Or get to lose your mom? Going

206
00:17:57.359 --> 00:18:04.000
to change your mom riders on the
store. Yeah, yeah, we know

207
00:18:04.079 --> 00:18:11.039
your use of illegal substances there,
Jim Oh Toscano. I wish you would

208
00:18:11.039 --> 00:18:15.039
have joined me in the door to
not get to Whiskey in the nineteen seventies

209
00:18:15.119 --> 00:18:17.720
A degree. Well, you know
what, I saw enough of you.

210
00:18:18.000 --> 00:18:22.240
I really enjoyed the music, but
you know there were times when you got

211
00:18:22.319 --> 00:18:26.160
naked on stage and started doing obscenities
that I was going, yeah, I

212
00:18:26.160 --> 00:18:29.799
could do without that, especially like
the time you started urinating them. I

213
00:18:29.839 --> 00:18:32.880
gotta get out of here, man, I'm about to go talk to Jimmy

214
00:18:33.000 --> 00:18:37.759
Hendrix on the next cloud. And
next time I called the order pizza,

215
00:18:37.759 --> 00:18:41.640
you'll be the first guy or order
there to Scotto. Oh you know you

216
00:18:41.680 --> 00:18:47.839
said Toscano and Chang. Is that
kind of an Italian Chinese restaurant? Oh

217
00:18:48.079 --> 00:18:52.359
yeah, I gotta get out of
here, man, all right, take

218
00:18:52.440 --> 00:18:55.079
take care of Jim. I hope
to talk to you soon, Jim Marston.

219
00:18:55.200 --> 00:18:59.119
Ladies and gentlemen, you know,
you just never know who calls on

220
00:18:59.200 --> 00:19:04.079
that on our Red from Beyond Line. I can't believe that that we get

221
00:19:04.079 --> 00:19:08.880
in touch with so many people from
beyond the next realm Toscono. I mean,

222
00:19:10.640 --> 00:19:15.640
I'm afraid to say that maybe one
of these days, Wrong Raging or

223
00:19:15.720 --> 00:19:19.279
somebody like that of that magnitude may
call. They've been they've been on the

224
00:19:19.319 --> 00:19:22.599
line. Before if you've just joined
us, we are talking about new wave

225
00:19:22.720 --> 00:19:26.319
music of the eighties in particular.
We want to mention to you that the

226
00:19:26.359 --> 00:19:30.519
main years of the eighties new wave
were from nineteen eighty to eighty four.

227
00:19:32.079 --> 00:19:38.680
I mean after eighty four, Madonna, Michael Prince, Bruce and really others

228
00:19:38.799 --> 00:19:45.400
took music away from new wave and
more towards a pop rock field. And

229
00:19:45.480 --> 00:19:48.279
so I want us to take a
look at some of the bands that brought

230
00:19:48.319 --> 00:19:52.000
the eighties new wave on the scene
and to the top of the charts in

231
00:19:52.039 --> 00:19:56.440
the early eighties. You know,
people like The Cars, Blondie, you

232
00:19:56.480 --> 00:20:00.400
know, you mentioned Talking Heads,
DeVore some of the early pioneers of the

233
00:20:00.400 --> 00:20:03.960
eighties new wave, and that's right. Don't forget you two in the Cure

234
00:20:04.039 --> 00:20:08.039
your Face well believe it or not. Yeah, and in bands like you

235
00:20:08.240 --> 00:20:15.519
two The Cure, even uh,
you know Billy Billy Idol at times were

236
00:20:15.519 --> 00:20:19.279
they were like brushing the fence on
that thin line. Yeah. You know,

237
00:20:19.480 --> 00:20:22.319
as you bring up Billy Idol,
Billy Idol, I remember him in

238
00:20:22.359 --> 00:20:26.960
the punk rock band Generation X.
Billy Billy Idol kind of wasn't new wave

239
00:20:27.039 --> 00:20:32.599
to me. He was kind of
a pop rock but I will say how

240
00:20:32.640 --> 00:20:37.599
about Oengel Bongo Depeche Mode, Well, definitely in excess, especially like for

241
00:20:37.599 --> 00:20:41.000
example in the UK, The Joy
Division, Joe Jackson, The Police,

242
00:20:42.039 --> 00:20:47.559
the Boomtown Rats. You know,
there were some some early some of the

243
00:20:47.599 --> 00:20:52.599
early adopters of this new wave sound. However, the album that really defined

244
00:20:53.519 --> 00:21:00.559
new waves signature synthesizer based sound and
brought the movement to the four front had

245
00:21:00.640 --> 00:21:07.720
to be Gary Newman's The Pleasure Principle, and the signature song of that album

246
00:21:07.880 --> 00:21:27.839
was, of course Cars Here in
My Car. If you don't remember Cards

247
00:21:27.880 --> 00:21:33.799
as a song by Gary Newman and
his debut single was released as the lead

248
00:21:33.000 --> 00:21:37.680
single from his debut studio album,
The Pleasure Principle and let Me give you

249
00:21:37.720 --> 00:21:56.359
a little a little touch of Gary
Newman. That's cars first release credited solely

250
00:21:56.359 --> 00:22:02.559
to Gary Newman after he dropped the
band name Tubeway Army. He said it

251
00:22:02.599 --> 00:22:04.240
was the first time he had written
a song with the intention of maybe it

252
00:22:04.279 --> 00:22:10.599
could be a hit, maybe not. That was Gary Newman who came up

253
00:22:10.640 --> 00:22:14.880
with a song in nineteen seventy nine, but it wasn't released until late of

254
00:22:15.119 --> 00:22:19.279
August twenty first, nineteen seventy nine
in the UK, and it didn't hit

255
00:22:19.480 --> 00:22:25.240
number one until it came to the
United States in nineteen eighty. Now I

256
00:22:25.279 --> 00:22:26.920
recall that song, you know that
was a pretty cool song. I gotta

257
00:22:26.960 --> 00:22:32.400
give it up for Gary Newman because
I believe he was one of the first

258
00:22:32.599 --> 00:22:37.079
artists back in the eighties in the
new wave era that I think he was

259
00:22:37.119 --> 00:22:44.079
pretty much open with his bisexuality.
I think he had an odd look that

260
00:22:44.200 --> 00:22:49.440
was captivating, very stylish, which
you could kind of say nabe model,

261
00:22:49.519 --> 00:22:53.480
like, yeah, he wore that
heavy eyeliner too, and a suit exactly.

262
00:22:55.240 --> 00:22:59.000
Yeah, it was kind of like
a modern day model. You could

263
00:22:59.279 --> 00:23:03.079
you could have acted We've seen that
guy walking the catwalk at one time.

264
00:23:03.440 --> 00:23:07.720
He created a fashion within his own
music. But I believe Gary Newman kind

265
00:23:07.720 --> 00:23:12.319
of evolved out of bands like Devo, you know what I mean, Soft

266
00:23:12.319 --> 00:23:18.000
Sell, Human League, bands of
that nature. You could even say Simple

267
00:23:18.160 --> 00:23:23.200
Minds, which was a great band
new wave, Simple Winds. Simple Minds

268
00:23:23.200 --> 00:23:27.119
did use a little bit of synthesize. But that lead singer, remember him,

269
00:23:27.119 --> 00:23:30.519
He had the orange hair. He
was a redhead. The guy could

270
00:23:30.559 --> 00:23:37.079
sing like he was a soul brother. I mean, it's it's it's great

271
00:23:37.119 --> 00:23:41.559
that we're going to talk about tonight. So many artists that take us back

272
00:23:41.559 --> 00:23:45.319
into the new wave. We can. We can bring up artists and take

273
00:23:45.359 --> 00:23:49.400
our listeners back to that time,
but we can also bring out the roots

274
00:23:49.400 --> 00:23:55.720
of where new wave came from and
possibly some of the roots that certain new

275
00:23:55.759 --> 00:24:00.319
wave bands did start, which started
a lot of other new wave bands which

276
00:24:00.359 --> 00:24:06.400
transcended into other types of music.
Like you said, we could we could

277
00:24:06.440 --> 00:24:11.519
talk about the Go Goes in Excess, like you said, Joe Jackson,

278
00:24:12.079 --> 00:24:18.039
bands that were of the new new
wave kind of era background, but then

279
00:24:18.079 --> 00:24:22.920
they evolved into something a little bit
more different, little bit more specially.

280
00:24:22.000 --> 00:24:26.640
Yeah, and you know what.
Speaking of special songs, the English band

281
00:24:26.720 --> 00:24:32.039
the Vapors, from their nineteen eighty
album Nuclear Days, came up with this

282
00:24:32.079 --> 00:24:52.799
song. Great song. Another song
was Turning Japanese by the Vapors, and

283
00:24:52.839 --> 00:24:57.799
it was an international hit, becoming
the song for which the Vapors were best

284
00:24:57.880 --> 00:25:03.599
known for. Yes and basically if
you don't know, the lyric describes the

285
00:25:03.720 --> 00:25:08.480
narrator being separated from a woman that
he loved and he was just preoccupied with

286
00:25:08.680 --> 00:25:22.680
her photos and this turned into Churning
Japanese. Well, what did you think

287
00:25:22.759 --> 00:25:27.680
Chang of churning Japanese by the favorite
what's funny. As a matter of fact,

288
00:25:27.720 --> 00:25:30.599
when this song came out, this
is pretty much when the name that

289
00:25:30.680 --> 00:25:36.200
I go by, the Chang was
given to me by my buddies at Montabello

290
00:25:36.279 --> 00:25:38.799
High School. We were in a
group called the Boys League. We don't

291
00:25:38.880 --> 00:25:42.960
dance, we don't date, We
prefer to drink and master bait. That

292
00:25:44.039 --> 00:25:48.960
was our logo that school. Yes, do you want that logo again?

293
00:25:49.559 --> 00:25:53.160
Yeah? What was that again?
Now? The name Chang that I go

294
00:25:53.279 --> 00:25:57.359
by that everyone does know me as, was given to me by my buddies,

295
00:25:57.480 --> 00:26:02.119
especially my late great buddy Ragmi Barazza, who is no longer here.

296
00:26:02.480 --> 00:26:07.000
And they used to play this for
me constantly because they gave me that nickname

297
00:26:07.039 --> 00:26:11.640
because you know, I fancy Asian
women at that time. I was going

298
00:26:11.680 --> 00:26:15.319
out with many, many, many, many many Asian girls then, So

299
00:26:15.359 --> 00:26:18.599
that was a song that they would
play for me, and I got this

300
00:26:18.799 --> 00:26:22.920
name. So it's it's fitting.
I sit here and I smile as I

301
00:26:22.960 --> 00:26:26.559
hear it, and I get somewhat
of a tear because I do miss my

302
00:26:26.640 --> 00:26:30.559
late, my late great best friend. Yeah, but uh, you know,

303
00:26:30.599 --> 00:26:34.759
it brings a smile because it takes
me back home. You know what,

304
00:26:34.839 --> 00:26:38.119
let me let me give you a
piece of a fun fact. Okay

305
00:26:38.319 --> 00:26:44.839
for American pop culture, as this
song was actually misinterpreted by American pop culture

306
00:26:44.880 --> 00:26:51.000
because the repeated lyric saying I think
I'm turning Japanese was widely believed by Americans.

307
00:26:51.519 --> 00:26:56.480
Okay, leave it to the Americans
to describe an orgasm induced by master

308
00:26:56.599 --> 00:27:02.839
mabing. But actually it was intended
to describe team angst or alien nation after

309
00:27:02.880 --> 00:27:07.960
a romantic breakup. I mean,
who in the right mind would understand that

310
00:27:07.000 --> 00:27:14.880
this song was talking about masturbation when
it was actually talking about a romantic breakup.

311
00:27:15.440 --> 00:27:21.960
I would say, anybody that was
like Kipper Gore, anybody that's conservative,

312
00:27:22.079 --> 00:27:29.880
anybody that hid behind the good book
and judged everybody hypocritically wise and then

313
00:27:29.960 --> 00:27:33.000
hid behind the right his book and
said, oh no. Another song from

314
00:27:33.279 --> 00:27:38.640
nineteen eighty was a song that has
been killed to death on Los Angeles radio

315
00:27:38.680 --> 00:27:42.599
because they believe that Devo only came
up with one song, and that's this

316
00:27:42.720 --> 00:28:00.839
song that we all know as wimmen
wrong now ripen shape Ye Yes sight.

317
00:28:03.319 --> 00:28:10.720
Interestingly enough, the American rock band
Divo from their third album, Freedom of

318
00:28:10.839 --> 00:28:15.240
Choice nineteen eight. Of course great
album. It was a new wave synth

319
00:28:15.319 --> 00:28:22.319
pop song that featured of course synthesizer, electric guitar, bass guitar and drums

320
00:28:22.359 --> 00:28:27.480
all into one. But of course
the signature sound that that transcended it all

321
00:28:27.640 --> 00:28:36.319
was that rockish slash punkish style that
only Divo can share with the world now.

322
00:28:36.400 --> 00:28:40.160
Devo is a prime example of what, like I stated earlier, the

323
00:28:40.319 --> 00:28:45.240
difference of synthesized music, what it
brought to certain bands and certain artists,

324
00:28:45.279 --> 00:28:48.319
and what it took away from certain
bands and certis artists. And Devo is

325
00:28:48.599 --> 00:28:57.240
a top notch band where synth decided
music enhanced their music creativity, their musical

326
00:28:57.319 --> 00:29:04.400
sound, and engrave great following.
So it kind of it enhanced what was

327
00:29:04.519 --> 00:29:10.400
already there of a musical genius,
if I can say lightly. Devo was

328
00:29:10.440 --> 00:29:14.640
one of those bands that would come
up with a hit and you can find

329
00:29:14.720 --> 00:29:18.279
them on Billboard Hot one hundred all
the time and whip it became a hit

330
00:29:18.319 --> 00:29:23.440
single and found instant chart success,
and not only in the United States but

331
00:29:23.480 --> 00:29:27.480
abroad. I don't know if our
listeners are aware, you are the Mother's

332
00:29:27.559 --> 00:29:34.960
brawl of brothers that were two of
the founding members of Divo later created for

333
00:29:36.119 --> 00:29:41.759
Nick at Night. You remember Nickelodeon, the rug Rats cartoon that many of

334
00:29:41.759 --> 00:29:48.119
many children have grown up watching.
I know my daughter watched the Rugrats,

335
00:29:48.160 --> 00:29:51.480
my children watch. I'm sure your
kids did. That's a fun fact for

336
00:29:51.559 --> 00:29:53.599
everybody out there. So when you're
looking at the credits and you see the

337
00:29:53.640 --> 00:29:59.279
Mother's Brawl Brothers, those are the
two founding members of Deevo. I bet

338
00:29:59.279 --> 00:30:03.880
you I don't know if you knew
that I had. I hadn't the slightest

339
00:30:03.000 --> 00:30:10.079
idea, just like I had no
idea Chang that in September of nineteen eighty

340
00:30:10.480 --> 00:30:18.720
considered to be new wave in at
least in this particular song from a band

341
00:30:18.799 --> 00:30:26.359
that I used to listen to quite
often from their third album Zenyatamandana The One

342
00:30:26.359 --> 00:30:52.559
and Only the Police with Don't Stand
So Close to Me Now Tiscannell. It's

343
00:30:52.640 --> 00:30:57.680
oddly enough, this is another song
that was kind of hex with that taboo

344
00:30:59.480 --> 00:31:07.599
because it it was about a teacher, a story about feelings for a student,

345
00:31:07.160 --> 00:31:11.799
which have we've seen all over the
news, so many teachers getting in

346
00:31:11.880 --> 00:31:17.480
trouble and losing their jobs and going
to gale for this type of teed of

347
00:31:17.519 --> 00:31:21.640
feelage that's gone awry in our schools. Do you remember back in the eighties

348
00:31:21.640 --> 00:31:26.400
there was quite a bit of that
kind of story in the news. When

349
00:31:26.240 --> 00:31:33.480
you know, students either from high
school even junior high in some cases were

350
00:31:33.519 --> 00:31:38.279
involved with their teachers. And this, of course, this song concerned a

351
00:31:38.319 --> 00:31:42.519
schoolgirl and the teacher, which led
to an affair and then in turn was

352
00:31:42.640 --> 00:31:49.640
discovered. Now oddly enough, you
know here at Toscano and Chang, we're

353
00:31:49.680 --> 00:31:52.519
not going to condone any kind of
wrong behavior. But I'm going to have

354
00:31:52.599 --> 00:31:56.039
to go on a limb right now
because you know the change. I know

355
00:31:56.079 --> 00:32:00.279
what you're gonna say. Trust me, my head was that fortunate a young

356
00:32:00.559 --> 00:32:07.000
boy eager to ever would you ever
tell on her? And I had a

357
00:32:07.079 --> 00:32:08.920
hot Now if it was a hot
teacher, no, I would not tell.

358
00:32:09.559 --> 00:32:12.920
Well, of course, of course
I would have. Just hey,

359
00:32:13.000 --> 00:32:15.319
man, I'm going for an a
plus. I will stay after school and

360
00:32:15.440 --> 00:32:21.799
clean the floors, I will grade
papers, I will do things to you

361
00:32:22.279 --> 00:32:24.880
like you have never had a grown
man due to you before. Because I've

362
00:32:24.880 --> 00:32:30.839
had that rightful young age of being
a magnetic torpid. I went on back.

363
00:32:30.319 --> 00:32:34.440
I would have never read it out
any of my female never never.

364
00:32:34.599 --> 00:32:36.799
I always used to think that when
I was a kid, and when I

365
00:32:36.839 --> 00:32:38.839
was a teenager, I was going, I can't believe that guy snitched on

366
00:32:38.920 --> 00:32:43.559
his teacher. Look at her.
I would have never said anything until I

367
00:32:43.720 --> 00:32:47.319
was like in my forties. Now, trip out of it. I'm sure

368
00:32:47.400 --> 00:32:52.119
you had the same scenario. When
we were in high school. We had

369
00:32:52.200 --> 00:32:58.880
this one girl in our class and
she was freaking, amazingly hot. Her

370
00:32:58.920 --> 00:33:02.039
initials are are Gee. For any
of my good friends at Montebello High School

371
00:33:02.079 --> 00:33:07.440
listening, I'm pretty sure you may
know who she is. She was a

372
00:33:08.240 --> 00:33:15.519
an aid to the sports trainer in
our football program and other sports. She

373
00:33:15.720 --> 00:33:20.759
was a knockout. She looked like
she was twenty two twenty three. On

374
00:33:20.960 --> 00:33:23.160
top of she was in our class, and she would mess around with some

375
00:33:23.240 --> 00:33:27.319
of the football coaches. Oh really, oh yeah bro? And this was

376
00:33:27.440 --> 00:33:32.319
kind Oh she was killer. But
if I were to show you a picture,

377
00:33:32.319 --> 00:33:37.599
you'd be like, whoa ho.
She made the stand the chang stand

378
00:33:37.680 --> 00:33:44.359
at all four posts, but yet
she would never look at the chang because

379
00:33:44.440 --> 00:33:46.920
I was pretty much the bad boy, you know what I mean? Yeah,

380
00:33:47.039 --> 00:33:51.039
I was the only guy on the
football team that had long hair,

381
00:33:51.559 --> 00:33:53.359
you know, refused to cut it, which ended up me. I gave

382
00:33:53.480 --> 00:33:58.200
up sports because hey, we're gonna
hold you down cut your hair. And

383
00:33:58.400 --> 00:34:02.160
I remember looking at the couche wall. I'm gonna have to assault at least

384
00:34:02.440 --> 00:34:06.799
the first six guys that come at
me. So you're not gonna cut my

385
00:34:06.880 --> 00:34:08.280
hair, because I'll get kicked out
of school, I'll get expelled, I'll

386
00:34:08.320 --> 00:34:12.880
probably go to jail, and then
when I get out of jail, I'll

387
00:34:12.920 --> 00:34:16.400
come after you. Well, for
those of you who don't know regarding don't

388
00:34:16.440 --> 00:34:21.360
stand so close to me. The
Police won the nineteen eighty two Grammy Award

389
00:34:21.440 --> 00:34:25.920
for Best Rock Performance by a Duo
or Group with Vocals for this particular song,

390
00:34:27.400 --> 00:34:30.719
and I didn't. I never knew
that The Police was even considered in

391
00:34:30.880 --> 00:34:36.800
that same genre as a new wave
at all throughout their entire career. You

392
00:34:36.920 --> 00:34:39.480
know what, I didn't either,
I have. I think that should be

393
00:34:39.559 --> 00:34:44.960
corrected because I don't think that they
are new wave. I would kind of

394
00:34:45.440 --> 00:34:49.679
then they're not really new wave,
but it falls certain songs fall under that.

395
00:34:49.920 --> 00:34:52.840
So I don't really know what the
criteria is for the people who are

396
00:34:53.039 --> 00:34:59.239
organizing all these songs in the charts, but apparently Don't Stand So Close to

397
00:34:59.320 --> 00:35:06.400
Me was one of those songs that
fell under that banner, just like this

398
00:35:06.599 --> 00:35:12.360
following one, which one percent falls
into that genre. It was an anti

399
00:35:12.440 --> 00:35:17.119
war song by the synth pop group
o MD. For those of you who

400
00:35:17.119 --> 00:35:22.440
don't know, that's orchestral Maneuvers in
the Dark and the only single from the

401
00:35:22.480 --> 00:35:45.920
band's nineteen eighty album Organization. This
is a Nola Gay no Change. I

402
00:35:45.079 --> 00:35:49.880
don't know if you are aware of
the meaning of the song, or at

403
00:35:49.960 --> 00:35:54.639
least of this particular track, but
it talks about the atomic bombing of Hiroshima

404
00:35:54.760 --> 00:36:00.519
by the aircraft in Nola Gay on
the sixth the August of nineteen forty five,

405
00:36:01.360 --> 00:36:06.599
towards the end of World War Two, and it was of course written

406
00:36:06.639 --> 00:36:10.440
by vocalist, bassist guitarist Andy McClusky. It came out, I was not

407
00:36:10.559 --> 00:36:15.360
aware of that story. And here's
the reason why. Okay, I'm gonna

408
00:36:15.559 --> 00:36:20.159
I'm gonna give this to you really
quick. I never listened to that song

409
00:36:20.320 --> 00:36:23.079
all the way through to get the
justification of the storyline of the lyrics.

410
00:36:23.880 --> 00:36:27.960
Did you change it when it came
on the radio. Yes, Oh my

411
00:36:28.199 --> 00:36:31.199
gosh, you played that song.
I could not decide if I wanted to

412
00:36:32.239 --> 00:36:37.639
wet my pants ramit closed the door
on my head five to six times,

413
00:36:38.400 --> 00:36:45.920
possibly choked myself around the Chang bang. But good lord, no, my

414
00:36:45.079 --> 00:36:50.320
friend, that song. You know, I think you're missing out. I

415
00:36:50.400 --> 00:36:53.360
think you're missing out because it was
an inner national success, selling more than

416
00:36:53.880 --> 00:36:58.920
five million copies of that particular by
one of those so it was an enduring

417
00:36:59.000 --> 00:37:05.119
map I how did you buy?
You know what? I didn't have any

418
00:37:05.119 --> 00:37:07.079
of the tricks, but whenever I
came on, Remember I've told you this

419
00:37:07.239 --> 00:37:13.840
on multiple occasions, I was everywhere
every single genre. I love the music,

420
00:37:14.039 --> 00:37:19.159
and I really really did like a
new wave and synth music. I

421
00:37:19.239 --> 00:37:22.719
did like it. I enjoyed it
quite a bit, especially from bands like

422
00:37:22.880 --> 00:37:30.000
OMD along with their nineteen eighty six
if you leave right on to you,

423
00:37:30.159 --> 00:37:38.559
my brother, Oh my gosh,
a great called me. I love it,

424
00:37:39.760 --> 00:37:43.480
I love it, I love it. This is back to the eighties.

425
00:37:43.880 --> 00:37:46.360
When we come back, we'll have
more hate from the Chang and more

426
00:37:46.440 --> 00:37:50.880
madness from Tuscanno. When Chang don't
go away. Back to the eighties,

427
00:37:51.079 --> 00:37:53.800
taking you on a trip to him
better time, A time when America used

428
00:37:53.800 --> 00:37:58.639
to win at things, When we
won the Cold War by army in Afghanistan,

429
00:37:59.039 --> 00:38:01.880
when we beat Russia boxers by jugging
in the woods, When a welder

430
00:38:02.159 --> 00:38:07.559
could become a dancer, when a
poor immigrant could become to the power of

431
00:38:07.719 --> 00:38:15.360
music, a guru to a generation
you're listening to. Back to the eighties.

432
00:38:19.079 --> 00:38:23.679
Now back to good, wholesome,
politically correct entertainment. Oops rock station.

433
00:38:25.119 --> 00:38:35.920
Now back to the eighties with Tescato
and Chay and a loft my life

434
00:38:36.559 --> 00:38:45.000
for I Susan time. I can't
sleep by night once I ran. Oh

435
00:38:45.440 --> 00:38:49.400
my god, I love this song. Hi everybody, boys and girls,

436
00:38:49.559 --> 00:38:54.239
ladies, especially anybody on this side
of the coin, especially, this is

437
00:38:54.280 --> 00:38:59.199
your boy. Give you a holler, a stream, a snaky snaky on

438
00:38:59.360 --> 00:39:04.039
my tushy. Touch it's me Rod
Steel. That's right, the official.

439
00:39:04.840 --> 00:39:09.960
That's right, bitches. Official hair
stylists of Doscnalin Chang. Back to the

440
00:39:10.159 --> 00:39:16.840
eighties. No one touches these boys
like I do. Starry Missus Chang and

441
00:39:17.000 --> 00:39:23.599
Missus Tasty. Their hair is mine. Speaking of mine, Oh my god,

442
00:39:23.679 --> 00:39:30.400
I can't believe these two enormous heart
drop battors would play this song for

443
00:39:30.519 --> 00:39:36.239
me. Soft Sell was one of
my most favorite songs back in the eighties

444
00:39:36.320 --> 00:39:42.960
when I was just a young thing
tender things. Oops, I dropped my

445
00:39:43.119 --> 00:39:49.119
soap. Oh, soft Sell reminded

455
00:40:30.079 --> 00:40:35.519

00:40:47.079 --> 00:40:52.119
do you remember soft sell? Oh? Yes, it's something with rubber walls

460
00:40:52.159 --> 00:40:54.119
and something like where I want to
put you in and just punish you.

461
00:40:54.840 --> 00:40:59.800
Oh my god. It takes me
back into the eighties when I would go

462
00:41:00.000 --> 00:41:01.719
down to Florentine Gardens with some of
my friends, you know, and they

463
00:41:01.760 --> 00:41:05.760
would have gay night, straight night, and then there was new wave night

464
00:41:06.280 --> 00:41:10.280
and I just could not get enough
blow and go from the sailors and the

465
00:41:10.360 --> 00:41:15.159
boys out there. I used to
dance all night to new wave music.

466
00:41:15.719 --> 00:41:17.719
I think I met you there,
right, my sweet guy. I think

467
00:41:17.760 --> 00:41:23.400
you were dating a guy named Alan
or was it or was it Elmer?

468
00:41:24.159 --> 00:41:29.039
I don't remember, but I remember
taking you back to the restroom, the

469
00:41:29.199 --> 00:41:32.320
urinal, and we were powdering our
noses. Sniff sniff, whiffle, whiffle,

470
00:41:32.920 --> 00:41:37.639
I'm going to take a tiffle.
And I remember you looked at me

471
00:41:37.719 --> 00:41:40.119
and you said, oh my god, your hair looks so boy, George,

472
00:41:40.199 --> 00:41:44.960
and we just became the best piece
right then and there, the bestiees

473
00:41:45.000 --> 00:41:49.519
girl. That's right, Boddy,
I gotta go. I've got my car

474
00:41:49.760 --> 00:41:54.119
turned on and self sell full blast. M I want to turn you on

475
00:41:54.239 --> 00:41:58.159
in a car anyway, I gotta
go Tscano and change. I'll be right

476
00:41:58.199 --> 00:42:00.000
back. I'm gonna go take them
out right now, the Relaxer. We're

477
00:42:00.039 --> 00:42:04.480
gonna play another great song and then
the boys will be back. Love your

478
00:42:04.519 --> 00:42:13.880
hoots, remember if it's not yours, take it anyway right now, I'm

479
00:42:14.039 --> 00:42:35.800
gone. Tainted Love, Sainted Love, Tainted Love Love, Touch Smithings Touching.

480
00:42:37.039 --> 00:42:39.360
That's right, we're back here,
back to the eighties. One and

481
00:42:39.400 --> 00:42:43.480
only show that brings back the eighties
to a holy generation. This is Tisconno

482
00:42:43.519 --> 00:42:45.400
from Tjiscata with Jang. I don't
know what happened while we were gone,

483
00:42:45.480 --> 00:42:50.400
but this is Tainted Love by soft
Sell. You know, Tisconno. It

484
00:42:50.480 --> 00:42:55.000
smells like vanilla and old flannel cologne
in this yeah here, it's yeah,

485
00:42:55.039 --> 00:42:59.760
it smells a little bit of like
English leather. And uh what was that

486
00:43:00.079 --> 00:43:04.079
brute? Brute? I bet you
Rod Steele put us in the relax or

487
00:43:04.159 --> 00:43:07.320
mode with our heir and he I
bet you he came in here and he

488
00:43:07.440 --> 00:43:09.719
started playing around with the buttons because
you know he likes to pull and push

489
00:43:09.800 --> 00:43:14.679
things. And I bet you he
probably put on one of his favorite tunes.

490
00:43:14.960 --> 00:43:16.639
He brought his aid with him,
right, his favorite guy guy,

491
00:43:17.119 --> 00:43:21.920
the favorite guy guy. I think. So all I know is I saw

492
00:43:22.079 --> 00:43:25.199
two guys acting pretty suspicious and I
knew they were up to something no good.

493
00:43:25.320 --> 00:43:28.280
You know what. You gotta love
them though. And speaking of love,

494
00:43:28.320 --> 00:43:32.039
we're talking about Tainted Love, of
course, by the British synth pop

495
00:43:32.320 --> 00:43:37.880
duo Soft Sell, and in nineteen
eighty one they came up with Tainted Love.

496
00:43:38.519 --> 00:43:42.119
I've had a lot of tainted and
you know what, this is one

497
00:43:42.119 --> 00:43:45.000
of the Once again, this is
one of those songs that is Tuscan.

498
00:43:45.280 --> 00:43:52.880
Was this on your mixtape? This
was definitely my mixtape And unfortunately, unfortunately

499
00:43:52.440 --> 00:43:59.519
it's a song that's been drilled here
in local radio stations as if the band

500
00:43:59.599 --> 00:44:01.920
only came up with this song.
You gotta do. It's a favor if

501
00:44:02.000 --> 00:44:06.760
you're a lover of back to the
eighties and anything eighties. When you hear

502
00:44:06.800 --> 00:44:10.000
an artist, when you hear a
particular song, for example, like this

503
00:44:10.280 --> 00:44:15.880
particular one. Right, check out
their album. Right, check out their

504
00:44:15.880 --> 00:44:20.039
album and see what other songs are
on that album and listen to the entire

505
00:44:20.079 --> 00:44:22.639
See that's one of the great things
about listening to for example, a record

506
00:44:22.880 --> 00:44:28.559
from beginning to end. You get
to hear the entirety of what that artist

507
00:44:28.719 --> 00:44:31.159
wanted to wanted to share with the
world, you know, because I'm sure

508
00:44:31.440 --> 00:44:36.639
that particular artist, they took their
time, they worked hard to come up

509
00:44:36.639 --> 00:44:38.960
with a single in this case,
but it wasn't the only song, right

510
00:44:39.119 --> 00:44:43.000
They wanted you to hear all of
their music. Well, that was a

511
00:44:43.039 --> 00:44:46.920
beauty I think a vinyl because so
many times you don't want to really skip

512
00:44:47.639 --> 00:44:52.519
to another song on vinyl because you're
afraid of scratching that new album up.

513
00:44:52.159 --> 00:44:54.960
But when you have a cassette,
you could, you know, stop it,

514
00:44:55.400 --> 00:44:59.079
fast forward it, play it back. Oh, I'm almost over,

515
00:44:59.599 --> 00:45:04.880
so you kind of it's easier to
get away from a lot of the other

516
00:45:05.039 --> 00:45:09.400
hits that bands put out on a
certain album or a release. I'll call

517
00:45:09.440 --> 00:45:14.800
it a release rather than an album
or a conseedera CD. It's always a

518
00:45:14.880 --> 00:45:21.559
release. And the beauty of vinyl
is you have to listen to the album

519
00:45:21.800 --> 00:45:24.960
in its entirety because you want that
album to be pristine. You don't want

520
00:45:24.960 --> 00:45:30.039
to damage it. And as you
listen along, you tend to start grooving

521
00:45:30.119 --> 00:45:35.599
to the beat of different songs and
That's one thing that I noticed in terrestrial

522
00:45:35.840 --> 00:45:39.760
radio, we didn't get to do
that except for certain stations that would play

523
00:45:40.199 --> 00:45:44.960
A and B sides in their entirety. We don't see that at all now.

524
00:45:45.480 --> 00:45:49.679
No, you can get individuals that
will download one song and they're not

525
00:45:49.800 --> 00:45:52.440
really going to sit through and download
that entire album. Do you agree.

526
00:45:52.639 --> 00:45:57.440
No. I think one of the
biggest things that has been lost was is

527
00:45:57.800 --> 00:46:01.960
the love for the art of music
in general, because people skip around,

528
00:46:02.360 --> 00:46:07.360
they have playlists of their favorite and
they don't go beyond that. Like for

529
00:46:07.480 --> 00:46:12.000
example, here's a fun fact of
the song Tainted Love. It was composed

530
00:46:12.039 --> 00:46:16.199
by Ed Cobb formerly by the Four
Preps. Wasn't that was an American group,

531
00:46:16.599 --> 00:46:22.320
which was an originally recorded song by
Gloria Jones in nineteen sixty four,

532
00:46:22.880 --> 00:46:24.960
and a lot of people didn't know
this. I didn't know that, Yeah,

533
00:46:25.280 --> 00:46:30.960
but it didn't attain worldwide fame until
being reworked by soft Sell in nineteen

534
00:46:30.960 --> 00:46:38.119
eighty one. That's amazing. So
that was probably a very classical piece with

535
00:46:38.280 --> 00:46:40.920
the original artist, right, Yeah. I mean you can go back,

536
00:46:42.000 --> 00:46:46.840
you can go on YouTube and type
in Gloria Jones Tainted Love and you'll hear

537
00:46:47.239 --> 00:46:51.079
the original you know what's just go
I'm going to do that, and when

538
00:46:51.119 --> 00:46:53.360
we get off air, I think
I'm going to post that on our Facebook

539
00:46:53.440 --> 00:46:59.880
page. And here's something I think
to our lovely listeners in our Facebook fall,

540
00:47:00.400 --> 00:47:02.519
I'm going to bring this up to
you. I'm going to start posting

541
00:47:02.679 --> 00:47:10.119
up a fantastic musical event and I'm
going to call this these posts that I

542
00:47:10.199 --> 00:47:14.880
will do. I also do a
post on my own page, Chansters Gangsters

543
00:47:14.920 --> 00:47:19.360
of Rock. If you want to
to an instant on Facebook. It's kind

544
00:47:19.440 --> 00:47:23.559
of radio via Facebook. I call
it f B FM. And I think

545
00:47:23.599 --> 00:47:28.119
I'm going to bring to our back
to the Eighties page. I'm going to

546
00:47:28.239 --> 00:47:34.360
call this musical segment I'm going to
endeavor in called fantastics, and what I'm

547
00:47:34.360 --> 00:47:38.679
going to do for our listeners at
tuscanoll is I'm going to post great songs

548
00:47:38.760 --> 00:47:45.639
from the eighties, hits and possibly
a B side hit that you're not familiar

549
00:47:45.679 --> 00:47:50.480
with by the same band. And
I will do this nightly and I will

550
00:47:50.519 --> 00:47:55.679
do it in a two fur so
I will do two eighties artists with two

551
00:47:55.800 --> 00:48:02.239
songs, one a hit, the
other one another track off that album.

552
00:48:02.800 --> 00:48:07.159
Let's see if we can get our
listeners and our viewers and our friends of

553
00:48:07.320 --> 00:48:13.400
Facebook to bite on and see if
they want to indulge in this, and

554
00:48:13.599 --> 00:48:17.559
feel free to go ahead and hit
me in Tusconnell with a band that you

555
00:48:17.760 --> 00:48:22.199
may want me to put my fantastic
spill on. What do you think,

556
00:48:22.239 --> 00:48:24.079
Toscano, do you think that's something
inviting we should do. I think you

557
00:48:24.159 --> 00:48:29.280
should definitely get on that as soon
as possible, because I know people are

558
00:48:29.360 --> 00:48:34.079
going to love it. We should
start reintroducing the way artists really wanted you

559
00:48:34.159 --> 00:48:38.119
to hear their music and the way
radio should have always have been and not

560
00:48:38.400 --> 00:48:46.039
change because of corporate these big mega
corporate companies that decided to buy a thousand

561
00:48:46.159 --> 00:48:52.000
radio stations and turn them into just
a bunch of cookie cutter stations. Here's

562
00:48:52.039 --> 00:48:55.440
another one of the groups that,
of course is also from the UK,

563
00:48:57.360 --> 00:49:01.679
and here's the song that you hear
quite often but is still making their rounds

564
00:49:02.079 --> 00:49:34.360
from twenty seventh of November nineteen eighty
one. That's right, this is Don't

565
00:49:34.400 --> 00:49:37.559
You Want Me? By the Human
League. This is the band's best known

566
00:49:37.639 --> 00:49:43.559
and most commercially successful song, and
it was it was basically the nineteen eighty

567
00:49:43.599 --> 00:49:50.039
one Christmas number one in the UK, where it sold over one point five

568
00:49:51.159 --> 00:49:57.679
million albums. They had other big
hits that fortunately we're playing on the radio

569
00:49:57.760 --> 00:50:00.400
and still are, and we're going
to talk a about them, of course

570
00:50:00.519 --> 00:50:07.159
in a another show, because we've
still got some room to cover other songs.

571
00:50:07.840 --> 00:50:12.400
Here's this next band is a band
that I um, I didn't really

572
00:50:12.559 --> 00:50:19.000
listen to very often because it just, uh, I thought the main singer

573
00:50:19.199 --> 00:50:22.719
was kind of weird. And I'm
talking about talking heads. I knew you

574
00:50:22.800 --> 00:50:25.119
were gonna I knew you're gonna bring
out I knew you were going to bring

575
00:50:25.159 --> 00:50:30.480
out the dick hater in yourself.
We'll call you rich hater now. Now,

576
00:50:30.760 --> 00:50:35.280
I really don't say, you know, many times I don't say,

577
00:50:35.360 --> 00:50:38.400
well, here's a song that I
didn't like. Oh yeah, uh,

578
00:50:40.119 --> 00:50:43.840
you know, I know, And
I will say that once in a while.

579
00:50:45.280 --> 00:50:50.599
That's one, Yeah, that's one. That's one band I hate.

580
00:50:51.400 --> 00:50:54.239
But but this was this was a
song that I just thought that he was

581
00:50:54.800 --> 00:51:04.039
so weird. And this is once
in a lifetime by talking heads and behind

582
00:51:05.320 --> 00:51:21.320
automovideos. You might ask yourself,
how did I hear? Now? Tell

583
00:51:21.400 --> 00:51:24.079
me this guy was kind of weird
you. I mean you must have bed

584
00:51:24.159 --> 00:51:29.800
Burn a great vocalist. Yeah,
I mean he was a little on the

585
00:51:29.920 --> 00:51:34.360
weird side. And this was the
lead single from their fourth studio album called

586
00:51:34.519 --> 00:51:38.000
Remained in the Light from nineteen eighty, which was released on February the second,

587
00:51:38.199 --> 00:51:43.599
just a few days before your birthday
and my birthday. Right, And

588
00:51:44.079 --> 00:51:49.320
uh, I don't understand how you
could hate I never said talking Head,

589
00:51:49.639 --> 00:51:53.000
never said that I hated talking Heads. Okay, I just now the talking

590
00:51:53.079 --> 00:51:59.920
Heads was a cutting edge bend similar
to roxy music. Uh, similar to

591
00:52:00.400 --> 00:52:06.920
the style that David Bowie brought out
now that I think thinking about upon it

592
00:52:07.079 --> 00:52:14.360
now, David Bowie and Lou Read
there's some of the forefathers of the new

593
00:52:14.519 --> 00:52:20.119
wave type music. Would you not
agree? Definitely? I would definitely agree.

594
00:52:20.480 --> 00:52:23.639
And you know what I would also
agree on is that this following band

595
00:52:23.920 --> 00:52:29.199
that we're going to talk about has
been a request. You may ask yourself,

596
00:52:30.159 --> 00:52:35.760
my god, how did I get
here? This following band is a

597
00:52:35.960 --> 00:52:44.719
request from one of our very very
special listeners of back to the eighties.

598
00:52:45.400 --> 00:52:47.960
Oh, I know who the sexy
band? All those guys are hots,

599
00:52:49.039 --> 00:52:52.960
right. So the person requesting the
song or the requesting us to talk about

600
00:52:52.000 --> 00:52:58.199
the band is Beverly Blevin's Staley,
and she actually wanted to hear an entire

601
00:52:58.280 --> 00:53:04.559
show dedicated to Duran Duran. And
we're really trying because we have a very

602
00:53:04.639 --> 00:53:07.760
special surprise and as soon as they're
done with the recording of their new new

603
00:53:07.840 --> 00:53:14.119
album, oh, you just might
hear Duran Duran on Back to the eighties,

604
00:53:42.800 --> 00:54:14.480
Camera on the back on Back Now. This single became Duran Durand's top

605
00:54:14.519 --> 00:54:21.039
ten breakthrough. Of course it did
hot chicking it hot dude did band now?

606
00:54:21.440 --> 00:54:24.960
Personally, I mean this is one
of the pioneers as well of new

607
00:54:25.039 --> 00:54:29.519
wave in the eighties. Okay,
not new wave when it first started,

608
00:54:29.880 --> 00:54:32.840
but new wave in the eighties.
Correct. Wherever they would go, they

609
00:54:32.880 --> 00:54:36.880
would cause a sensation. And as
a matter of fact, this is one

610
00:54:36.920 --> 00:54:40.840
of the very few bands out there
that if you hear them today, they

611
00:54:42.039 --> 00:54:46.440
sing exactly the same. They have
not lost anything of the voice. They

612
00:54:46.480 --> 00:54:51.920
don't look the same, but they
sound exactly the same. You know,

613
00:54:52.000 --> 00:54:54.599
I know you're on the hater of
the Duran Duran, you know what I

614
00:54:54.639 --> 00:54:58.679
mean, But I'm not Now.
I was going to do a skit when

615
00:54:58.719 --> 00:55:02.119
we talked about durand or because everybody
in the age remembers Roberto Duran, no

616
00:55:02.239 --> 00:55:08.519
Mass, no Mass, so there's
no nos who worked through. But you

617
00:55:08.639 --> 00:55:14.360
know what it was. I thought
it was a very talented young core of

618
00:55:14.800 --> 00:55:22.039
musicians. I think that they were
phenomenal in the style that they got their

619
00:55:22.079 --> 00:55:25.119
fame in. And I also think
that they had the genius and the talent

620
00:55:25.719 --> 00:55:31.760
to transcend their band into whatever form
of music that they would have played,

621
00:55:32.320 --> 00:55:37.039
uh North shorter than of something maybe
you two could have done. I always

622
00:55:37.079 --> 00:55:42.679
thought that Duran Duran was a very
very talented band. As a matter of

623
00:55:42.800 --> 00:55:49.119
fact, one of the players in
Duran Duran later on went and did his

624
00:55:49.199 --> 00:55:53.440
own music The Power Station with Robert
Palmer back in the year right, and

625
00:55:53.639 --> 00:55:59.239
it was this really criticized you know, girls on a film, especially with

626
00:55:59.400 --> 00:56:02.920
their video. When the video of
Girls on Film came out on MTV actuated

627
00:56:04.000 --> 00:56:07.840
my brother. Yeah, people actually
can compared it with porn. Yes,

628
00:56:08.079 --> 00:56:13.519
back then it was pretty risky.
And it falls right back into the category

629
00:56:13.599 --> 00:56:16.719
like we discussed the last couple of
breaks, the censorship on music, the

630
00:56:16.800 --> 00:56:22.360
attack on music from conservative America.
Yeah, you know, you take it

631
00:56:22.360 --> 00:56:27.039
away of freedom. Great video by
the way, my brother, good god,

632
00:56:27.400 --> 00:56:30.039
great, what better video? You
have a grew a band with a

633
00:56:30.119 --> 00:56:34.599
bunch of smoking, hot dudes and
then you put a bunch of hot chicks

634
00:56:34.719 --> 00:56:37.800
in makeup on there. It's like, oh, rah, Lee, I

635
00:56:37.840 --> 00:56:42.239
would have been a cameraman and died
seven died seven deaths over to be on

636
00:56:42.320 --> 00:56:45.880
that shoot. My brother, wouldn't
you him? Definitely? This following band,

637
00:56:46.239 --> 00:56:51.039
or I should say frontman or singer, first released a single in the

638
00:56:51.159 --> 00:56:55.679
UK and October nineteen eighty two,
and subsequently included on the EP Blinded by

639
00:56:55.800 --> 00:57:00.559
Science and the second edition of Thomas
Dolby's debut album, The Golden Age of

640
00:57:00.800 --> 00:57:07.679
Wireless. Interesting title right back then
in nineteen eighty two, The Golden Thomas

641
00:57:07.800 --> 00:57:10.719
Dolby had a very original sound,
you know what I mean. But he's

642
00:57:10.800 --> 00:57:16.800
kind of like a one hit writ
Thomas Dolby looked like Elton John discovered crack

643
00:57:17.280 --> 00:57:22.880
and got electrocuted at the same This
is That's how Thomas Dolby looked at me.

644
00:57:22.199 --> 00:57:25.199
And you know, no, Paul, you know, all due respects

645
00:57:25.239 --> 00:57:29.440
to the great Elton John, you
can nobody can talk to the album.

646
00:57:29.880 --> 00:57:32.880
But when I saw that guy with
that video, That's what I thought.

647
00:57:32.960 --> 00:57:37.719
Wow, that's what Elton John would
look like on crack if he put a

648
00:57:37.880 --> 00:57:44.239
fourth Indee outlet and got electric.
Thomas Dolby with She Blinded Me with Science.

649
00:57:44.360 --> 00:58:07.239
Take a listen suns Now. Although
this was viewed as a success in

650
00:58:07.280 --> 00:58:12.559
the United States, but it only
peaked that number five on the Billboard Hot

651
00:58:12.719 --> 00:58:19.320
one hundred and two weeks at number
one in Canada's RPM magazine, but it

652
00:58:19.480 --> 00:58:27.119
definitely scored among the top fifty in
Dolby's native UK. No, I wonder

653
00:58:27.159 --> 00:58:30.400
if did was that song used in
Weird Science? No? No, but

654
00:58:30.559 --> 00:58:34.840
you would have me you would have
said that it was right, she blinded

655
00:58:34.880 --> 00:58:39.079
Me with Science. And no they
went with of course Oingo Boingo's Weird Science.

656
00:58:39.880 --> 00:58:45.599
Uh yeah, weird Science. Oino
Bolling a great a great new way,

657
00:58:45.679 --> 00:58:50.679
and we'll definitely talk about Oino Bongo
as well. But along with Thomas

658
00:58:50.760 --> 00:58:55.719
Dolby, there was a band from
another land, a land down under.

659
00:58:58.079 --> 00:59:15.239
Oh yes, on a free trails. I'm a strange lady. She made

660
00:59:15.280 --> 00:59:36.400
me nervous and great band been at
work. I mean, here's another band.

661
00:59:37.320 --> 00:59:42.000
I think if they would have given
a little bit more time, and

662
00:59:42.280 --> 00:59:44.960
and and mixed it up a little
bit. I think they had the potential

663
00:59:45.039 --> 00:59:49.519
to do something and lasts longer than
they did, rather than just something in

664
00:59:49.599 --> 00:59:52.920
the eighties. Now, what's fitting
is the name of the band Mint at

665
00:59:52.960 --> 00:59:59.679
work. Okay. Can you imagine
seeing the lead singer with a street sign

666
01:00:00.159 --> 01:00:04.760
directing traffic that says minute work you. You don't know if he's looking straight

667
01:00:04.800 --> 01:00:07.480
at you or the car on the
left. So who's that sign really going

668
01:00:07.559 --> 01:00:13.880
to stop? Men at work?
Did you know that down enders perceived as

669
01:00:13.920 --> 01:00:19.920
a patriotic song in Australia and it
remains popular and is often played even in

670
01:00:20.039 --> 01:00:23.440
sporting events. And the song,
I mean, it's widely known here in

671
01:00:23.440 --> 01:00:30.519
the United States when they played everywhere, Yes, isn't on a heavy trail

672
01:00:30.960 --> 01:00:36.079
full of zomides? What a line? You know what I mean? I

673
01:00:36.239 --> 01:00:38.239
met a strange lady. She made
me nervous, she took me in and

674
01:00:39.760 --> 01:00:43.960
yeah, yeah, that's right.
I've always wanted to do. The funny

675
01:00:44.000 --> 01:00:47.679
thing is that I've always wanted to
know what a veggie might sandwich tasted like.

676
01:00:47.960 --> 01:00:53.320
I am afraid because I hear of
veggie might is actually pretty pretty disgusting.

677
01:00:55.039 --> 01:00:59.239
I would think that's a Vegan Sandy, Yeah, something like that,

678
01:00:59.440 --> 01:01:02.000
but I don't know it just it
kind of it kind of scares me.

679
01:01:04.639 --> 01:01:07.480
Vegam like, no, I don't
want to vega nothing. I'll take a

680
01:01:07.559 --> 01:01:31.239
vegeam nothing. Moving on, you'll
know this band, of course, we're

681
01:01:31.239 --> 01:01:38.599
talking about the One and Only a
Flock of Seagulls with they're one of their

682
01:01:38.840 --> 01:01:45.280
one hit wonders. The song is
called Iran. I only remember hearing this

683
01:01:45.400 --> 01:01:51.719
song on MTV. Very rarely did
I hear it on terrestrial radio. I

684
01:01:51.840 --> 01:01:57.400
think maybe every now and then on
K rock. But whenever I hear Joe

685
01:01:57.559 --> 01:02:01.880
Jackson, you know who, it
reminds me of Bruce Hornsby. Oh I

686
01:02:01.960 --> 01:02:07.280
don't listen again. You got to
remember a lot of the bands, they

687
01:02:07.360 --> 01:02:13.159
were so ostentatious, they were so
over the top. You know. Part

688
01:02:13.199 --> 01:02:15.880
of the reason that a lot of
people think that the eighties was all these

689
01:02:16.000 --> 01:02:20.440
weird hairstyles for the women. Don't
get me wrong, we know that was

690
01:02:20.480 --> 01:02:25.000
true. Aquinitt was the craze back
then. Yeah, and for the guys,

691
01:02:25.280 --> 01:02:29.280
of course, there were the mullets
and things like that, but not

692
01:02:29.559 --> 01:02:35.559
everybody had these black hairstyles. But
of course the bands, the bands were

693
01:02:35.880 --> 01:02:39.119
over the top. All right,
let's jump because we're out of time here.

694
01:02:39.559 --> 01:02:43.159
We've got a couple more songs,
and then we got to call it

695
01:02:43.280 --> 01:02:45.639
a night. And one of those
people calling it at a night was Joe

696
01:02:45.719 --> 01:02:53.760
Jackson with his hit single Stepping Out, written in nineteen eighty two and the

697
01:02:53.840 --> 01:03:20.920
album was Night and Day. There's
the Cross Now. This was a song

698
01:03:21.199 --> 01:03:24.760
inspired by Jackson's time in New York
City and it was the highest charting single

699
01:03:24.880 --> 01:03:30.760
in America in nineteen eighty two.
You know it was. It was a

700
01:03:30.840 --> 01:03:37.000
song of anticipation and excitement of driving
around downtown and it just became an instant

701
01:03:37.039 --> 01:03:39.920
success. And you know what,
chank, this was one of This is

702
01:03:40.000 --> 01:03:45.400
one of those forgotten eighties songs that
I mean, I don't remember hearing on

703
01:03:45.599 --> 01:03:50.639
any radio station, not even like
on Sirius XM radio and they played the

704
01:03:50.719 --> 01:03:54.760
majority of the biggest variety of songs. I haven't even heard this song anywhere.

705
01:03:55.039 --> 01:04:00.159
I only remember hearing this song on
MTV. Very rarely did I hear

706
01:04:00.239 --> 01:04:03.920
it on terrestrial radio. I think
maybe every now and then on K rock.

707
01:04:04.880 --> 01:04:09.880
But whenever I hear you, U, Joe Jackson, you know who,

708
01:04:09.920 --> 01:04:15.599
it reminds me of Bruce hornsby Oh
I Don't Listen again, their next

709
01:04:15.639 --> 01:04:19.719
song give Me Something Else, and
last, but not least, to top

710
01:04:19.800 --> 01:04:24.719
off this show, we got a
song for you that's really one of the

711
01:04:24.920 --> 01:04:49.480
forgotten grades of thineteen eighty two.
Oh yeah if. This is a song

712
01:04:49.559 --> 01:04:55.840
called Don't Go and it's by British
synth pop band Yazoo or otherwise known here

713
01:04:55.840 --> 01:05:00.639
in the United States as Yes,
and it was released in nineteen eighty two.

714
01:05:01.480 --> 01:05:06.119
It peaked at number one three times
on the UK Singles Chart, becoming

715
01:05:06.400 --> 01:05:13.519
yaz is second top number five hit. And of course we didn't want to

716
01:05:13.519 --> 01:05:16.400
call him Yazoo here in the United
States or in Canada, so we decided

717
01:05:16.440 --> 01:05:19.679
to change our name to yazz And
every time you'd hear on the radio,

718
01:05:20.039 --> 01:05:25.960
everybody knew that this song was Don't
Go by yazz Wow. Now I have

719
01:05:26.079 --> 01:05:30.760
to tell you this song was on
my number one, my number one list.

720
01:05:30.000 --> 01:05:34.320
Here we go for songs and songs
that I thought sucked more than anything

721
01:05:34.599 --> 01:05:44.000
that was number one, and there
it is ya Yazoo Chula Zoo. Of

722
01:05:44.159 --> 01:05:48.079
course, ladies, gentlemen, this
