WEBVTT 00:00:11.019 --> 00:00:13.800 Welcome to My Weekly Mixtape, a podcast that 00:00:13.800 --> 00:00:16.839 takes the classic mixtape approach to building 00:00:16.839 --> 00:00:19.379 a modern playlist. I'm your host, Brian Colburn. 00:00:19.679 --> 00:00:22.699 Joining me tonight as guest curator is Big Rick 00:00:22.699 --> 00:00:25.320 of Rock Talk Studio. Rick, welcome to the program, 00:00:25.440 --> 00:00:27.660 my friend. Thanks, Brian. It's great to be here. 00:00:27.760 --> 00:00:30.420 One of my favorite podcasts, and I finally get 00:00:30.420 --> 00:00:33.000 to be on it, so very cool. Well, thank you so 00:00:33.000 --> 00:00:34.700 much, and I'm glad to have you on it. But as 00:00:34.700 --> 00:00:37.439 a first -time guest, I'd like to start by asking 00:00:37.439 --> 00:00:40.700 you, what does the word mixtape? mean to you? 00:00:41.600 --> 00:00:44.460 My brother, right off the bat, it means my brother. 00:00:44.640 --> 00:00:47.820 I lived in Los Angeles for many years and I moved 00:00:47.820 --> 00:00:49.679 from Connecticut and my brother stayed in Connecticut 00:00:49.679 --> 00:00:52.359 and I moved to LA and I was working in the music 00:00:52.359 --> 00:00:55.299 industry and I was blessed to get a lot of promos 00:00:55.299 --> 00:00:58.340 and a lot of new music. And I was always mixing 00:00:58.340 --> 00:01:00.579 up tapes and sending it back to him in Connecticut, 00:01:00.579 --> 00:01:03.619 all kinds of crazy wild stuff, just the craziest 00:01:03.619 --> 00:01:05.680 things. And he loved those mixtapes. So that's 00:01:05.680 --> 00:01:08.659 the first thing I think of when I think of a 00:01:08.659 --> 00:01:11.400 mixtape. is my brother, how much he enjoyed all 00:01:11.400 --> 00:01:14.900 the music that I sent him. That's awesome. Yeah. 00:01:14.959 --> 00:01:17.840 Tonight's topic is an interesting one as it's 00:01:17.840 --> 00:01:21.579 number one hits of the 1970s. So just like episode 00:01:21.579 --> 00:01:24.260 48, which was number one hits of the eighties 00:01:24.260 --> 00:01:27.079 with Patreon mixtape or Ben checkness of the 00:01:27.079 --> 00:01:31.120 two vague podcast and episode 58, number one 00:01:31.120 --> 00:01:33.420 hits of the nineties with Jamie to Tringo of 00:01:33.420 --> 00:01:37.560 the seas. There's no deep cuts tonight. As with 00:01:37.560 --> 00:01:40.879 both of those episodes, the deepest of cuts you 00:01:40.879 --> 00:01:44.239 and I could pull are number one hits that were 00:01:44.239 --> 00:01:48.359 only number one hits for one week. But even then, 00:01:48.379 --> 00:01:54.019 they were still a number one hit. So trivia time. 00:01:54.299 --> 00:01:57.140 Okay. Something everyone can use if it ever pops 00:01:57.140 --> 00:02:00.099 up on Jeopardy. Rick, do you care to wager a 00:02:00.099 --> 00:02:03.819 guess as to how many songs reached number one 00:02:03.819 --> 00:02:10.159 throughout the 1970s? I'm going 102. Well, the 00:02:10.159 --> 00:02:15.479 answer is 253, which is much more than both the 00:02:15.479 --> 00:02:19.520 80s and 90s decades, where as you went into the 00:02:19.520 --> 00:02:23.139 80s and 90s, songs started staying number one 00:02:23.139 --> 00:02:26.819 for longer and longer stretches of time. So tonight, 00:02:26.879 --> 00:02:30.620 you and I are tasked with whittling down 253 00:02:30.620 --> 00:02:34.879 songs to 20. How did you go about choosing what 00:02:34.879 --> 00:02:37.599 songs you're bringing to the table tonight? Rock 00:02:37.599 --> 00:02:39.879 and roll, baby. It's all rock and roll. It's 00:02:39.879 --> 00:02:41.560 where I start. That's what my show is about. 00:02:41.780 --> 00:02:44.599 I review rock and roll books and documentaries, 00:02:44.599 --> 00:02:48.060 and I stick to the 60s through 90s, the classic 00:02:48.060 --> 00:02:51.620 era, that golden era of rock and roll. So I'm 00:02:51.620 --> 00:02:54.060 hunting rock and roll right off the bat. That's 00:02:54.060 --> 00:02:56.099 what I'm looking for first. All right. Well, 00:02:56.180 --> 00:02:58.159 you're speaking my musical language there. I 00:02:58.159 --> 00:03:00.639 also have a couple of songs in my bank that might 00:03:00.639 --> 00:03:03.280 be off the beaten path of rock a little bit. 00:03:03.560 --> 00:03:05.680 Okay. But I don't know which one of us is going 00:03:05.680 --> 00:03:08.280 to get to Disco Duck first. Let's just see if 00:03:08.280 --> 00:03:10.639 we get there or not. I'll tell you what, the 00:03:10.639 --> 00:03:13.080 70s are an interesting time because of that. 00:03:13.439 --> 00:03:17.840 You know, there was a lot of novelty stuff. There's 00:03:17.840 --> 00:03:19.840 a lot of fluff. There was, you know, rock and 00:03:19.840 --> 00:03:23.159 roll. There is some, but it's not. prominent 00:03:23.159 --> 00:03:25.900 it's not like wow i was kind of surprised by 00:03:25.900 --> 00:03:28.580 where's all the rock and roll here it took me 00:03:28.580 --> 00:03:31.319 a while to dig through it and find it oh there's 00:03:31.319 --> 00:03:33.379 a lot of digging definitely involved with that 00:03:33.379 --> 00:03:36.860 so let's get down to business tonight as i mentioned 00:03:36.860 --> 00:03:39.159 at the top of the show rick and i are going to 00:03:39.159 --> 00:03:42.060 curate the ultimate number one hits of the 70s 00:03:42.060 --> 00:03:44.360 mixtape and we're going to use that old cassette 00:03:44.360 --> 00:03:47.129 deck approach Rick, as my special guest, will 00:03:47.129 --> 00:03:49.849 begin side A with his first song choice, and 00:03:49.849 --> 00:03:52.030 then I'll add a song that I feel best follows 00:03:52.030 --> 00:03:54.550 up that choice. We'll then flip -flop choosing 00:03:54.550 --> 00:03:57.750 songs until we've mapped out 10 songs for side 00:03:57.750 --> 00:04:00.810 A. We'll then give our mixtape a proverbial flip, 00:04:00.870 --> 00:04:03.210 and we'll map out side B. Only this time, I'll 00:04:03.210 --> 00:04:06.270 kick things off with Rick choosing second. Our 00:04:06.270 --> 00:04:08.449 overall goal for the episode is to craft the 00:04:08.449 --> 00:04:11.590 best number one hits of the 70s mixtape possible 00:04:11.590 --> 00:04:15.330 through only 20 songs. At the end of the show, 00:04:15.349 --> 00:04:17.410 you can take our conversation to the next level 00:04:17.410 --> 00:04:20.490 by visiting the episode page at myweeklymixtape 00:04:20.490 --> 00:04:23.730 .com to give our final mixtape a listen via the 00:04:23.730 --> 00:04:26.189 embedded playlist. And if you like what you're 00:04:26.189 --> 00:04:27.949 hearing on the show, you can help me out by either 00:04:27.949 --> 00:04:30.449 telling a friend, leaving the show a five -star 00:04:30.449 --> 00:04:32.730 review wherever you're tuning in, or becoming 00:04:32.730 --> 00:04:36.290 a Patreon mixtaper at patreon .com forward slash 00:04:36.290 --> 00:04:39.879 myweeklymixtape. There you can find ad -free 00:04:39.879 --> 00:04:42.959 episodes of the show, gain early access to future 00:04:42.959 --> 00:04:45.740 My Weekly Mixtape episodes, chime in on upcoming 00:04:45.740 --> 00:04:49.040 topics, become a future guest, and so much more. 00:04:49.279 --> 00:04:51.720 And a few of the Patreon mixtapers chimed in 00:04:51.720 --> 00:04:54.079 with the songs they would use to kick things 00:04:54.079 --> 00:04:56.139 off tonight, and I want to give a quick shout 00:04:56.139 --> 00:04:59.060 out to a few of those. Brandon from Virginia 00:04:59.060 --> 00:05:01.759 chimed in with Manfred Mann's cover of Blinded 00:05:01.759 --> 00:05:04.800 by the Light, saying he knew every word of this 00:05:04.800 --> 00:05:07.730 when he was five. which I think is amazing because 00:05:07.730 --> 00:05:10.810 I'm in my late 40s and I still don't know exactly 00:05:10.810 --> 00:05:14.889 what he's saying in that song. Philip Bergman 00:05:14.889 --> 00:05:17.750 says, if you know me, Brian, you know my answer. 00:05:18.230 --> 00:05:21.810 December 1963. Oh, what a night by the Four Seasons. 00:05:22.449 --> 00:05:25.350 Chad Lamas is taking a completely different approach 00:05:25.350 --> 00:05:28.649 with his song choice, going with One Bad Apple 00:05:28.649 --> 00:05:31.750 by the Osmonds as it was number one the week 00:05:31.750 --> 00:05:35.459 he was born. And Seeker liked that idea so much, 00:05:35.560 --> 00:05:39.459 he did the same going with Brown Sugar by, and 00:05:39.459 --> 00:05:42.379 I quote, some band called the Rolling Stones, 00:05:42.399 --> 00:05:46.420 as this song was number one on the day he was 00:05:46.420 --> 00:05:49.740 born. Tom Hutchinson chimed in with the disco 00:05:49.740 --> 00:05:52.240 version of the Star Wars theme and cantina band 00:05:52.240 --> 00:05:54.899 just because he was on a mission to make this 00:05:54.899 --> 00:05:58.870 episode weird. And Sean Goff chimed in with Heart 00:05:58.870 --> 00:06:01.209 of Glass by Blondie, saying this would be a fun 00:06:01.209 --> 00:06:03.730 song to kick the mixtape off with, as you can 00:06:03.730 --> 00:06:06.089 go in several different directions of new wave, 00:06:06.250 --> 00:06:09.110 punk, or disco coming out of it. So once again, 00:06:09.189 --> 00:06:11.170 if you'd like to chime in for future My Weekly 00:06:11.170 --> 00:06:14.389 Mixtape episodes, come join the fellow mixtapers 00:06:14.389 --> 00:06:18.310 at patreon .com forward slash myweeklymixtape. 00:06:19.330 --> 00:06:22.009 Now, Rick, with those picks out in the atmosphere, 00:06:22.209 --> 00:06:24.449 I'm officially pressing the record button on 00:06:24.449 --> 00:06:27.250 our mixtape and passing the mic to you. What 00:06:27.250 --> 00:06:30.129 song are you kicking off the ultimate number 00:06:30.129 --> 00:06:33.689 one hits of the 70s playlist with? All right. 00:06:33.689 --> 00:06:36.389 Well, I'm going to go with one of your Patreon's 00:06:36.389 --> 00:06:38.930 picks. And I think we talked about this a little 00:06:38.930 --> 00:06:40.310 bit. It's like, OK, are we going to go weird 00:06:40.310 --> 00:06:43.259 with this mixtape or are we going to? Stick more 00:06:43.259 --> 00:06:45.240 to what we were talking about. I think that's 00:06:45.240 --> 00:06:47.699 more of the rock and roll. So it's Brown Sugar. 00:06:47.860 --> 00:06:51.759 It's the Rolling Stones. It is the ultimate rock 00:06:51.759 --> 00:06:55.839 and roll band, given one of its all -time classic 00:06:55.839 --> 00:06:59.319 hits had to start with Brown Sugar. And it's 00:06:59.319 --> 00:07:01.019 got Mick Taylor on guitar. I think he was in 00:07:01.019 --> 00:07:02.319 the band there too. So that's a little extra 00:07:02.319 --> 00:07:05.199 added bonus for me. I'm not going to lie. I love 00:07:05.199 --> 00:07:08.660 the Mick Taylor era of the Rolling Stones. From 00:07:08.660 --> 00:07:11.899 1971, Sticky Fingers, the song spent two weeks 00:07:11.899 --> 00:07:15.639 at number one. In 2010, Rolling Stone ranked 00:07:15.639 --> 00:07:19.000 this number 495 on its list of 500 greatest songs 00:07:19.000 --> 00:07:22.660 of all time and number five on their list of 00:07:22.660 --> 00:07:26.560 100 greatest guitar songs of all time. Now, in 00:07:26.560 --> 00:07:29.459 the same year as Sticky Fingers, Little Richard 00:07:29.459 --> 00:07:32.019 released a cover of this on his The King of Rock 00:07:32.019 --> 00:07:35.620 and Roll album. Nice. That was back in the 70s 00:07:35.620 --> 00:07:37.920 when artists would cover songs that were just 00:07:37.920 --> 00:07:40.199 hitting the charts. You don't see much of that 00:07:40.199 --> 00:07:43.240 anymore. But back in the 70s, this was something 00:07:43.240 --> 00:07:45.420 that actually happened several times in just 00:07:45.420 --> 00:07:48.199 the songs that I have in my bank alone. Right. 00:07:48.379 --> 00:07:50.300 And once again, I want to give a shout out to 00:07:50.300 --> 00:07:52.839 Patreon Mixtape Seeker, who also chimed in with 00:07:52.839 --> 00:07:54.920 this one. Nice. And I bet you the Stones liked 00:07:54.920 --> 00:07:57.139 that. I mean, Little Richard was such a big part 00:07:57.139 --> 00:07:59.610 of who they were. And they loved Little Richard 00:07:59.610 --> 00:08:01.670 so much. I bet you that was pretty cool to know 00:08:01.670 --> 00:08:05.149 that he was doing Brown Sugar. Considering the 00:08:05.149 --> 00:08:07.689 influence he probably had on the Rolling Stones, 00:08:07.870 --> 00:08:10.610 I'm sure it's both a blessing, a hat tip, a compliment, 00:08:10.730 --> 00:08:13.629 all those things rolled into one great musical 00:08:13.629 --> 00:08:17.250 package as only Little Richard could do. Yeah. 00:08:17.689 --> 00:08:20.790 And I think I'm going to follow this up with 00:08:20.790 --> 00:08:24.649 a song that, well, it's going to check off both 00:08:24.649 --> 00:08:28.459 the number one hits. of the 1970s playlist as 00:08:28.459 --> 00:08:32.179 well as the i've got a fever and the only prescription 00:08:32.179 --> 00:08:35.919 is more cowbell playlist and i am going to go 00:08:35.919 --> 00:08:38.659 with grand funks we're an american band the title 00:08:38.659 --> 00:08:41.600 track from their 1973 album of the same name 00:08:41.600 --> 00:08:44.759 once again spent only one week at number one 00:08:44.759 --> 00:08:48.860 but it also ranks number 99 on vh1's list of 00:08:48.860 --> 00:08:52.039 the 100 greatest hard rock songs and this song 00:08:52.039 --> 00:08:56.190 has been covered by Everyone from Poison to Rob 00:08:56.190 --> 00:08:59.169 Zombie to the Village People. And what I find 00:08:59.169 --> 00:09:01.129 most interesting about this song, it's one of 00:09:01.129 --> 00:09:04.970 the small batch of Grand Funk tunes that wasn't 00:09:04.970 --> 00:09:08.250 sung by Mark Farner, as Don Brewer sang the lead 00:09:08.250 --> 00:09:11.269 vocals on this one. So following up Brown Sugar, 00:09:11.470 --> 00:09:13.970 let's get that cowbell going with Grand Funk 00:09:13.970 --> 00:09:16.690 and We're an American Band. Yeah, that's a good 00:09:16.690 --> 00:09:18.669 one. And it's got one of the best intros, too. 00:09:18.710 --> 00:09:20.710 That's a great rock and roll jam right there 00:09:20.710 --> 00:09:22.210 in the beginning of that song. I don't know why. 00:09:22.289 --> 00:09:25.000 I just saw. video of it the other day. So that's 00:09:25.000 --> 00:09:27.240 interesting that you chose it. But I just realized, 00:09:27.460 --> 00:09:30.580 man, that intro is a great jam. That's a really 00:09:30.580 --> 00:09:34.379 great tune. Well, we've got Brown Sugar by the 00:09:34.379 --> 00:09:36.779 Rolling Stones and We're an American Band by 00:09:36.779 --> 00:09:39.500 Grand Funk. Where do we go from here? Well, I 00:09:39.500 --> 00:09:41.519 told you I'm bringing the big rock and roll guns 00:09:41.519 --> 00:09:44.360 out. So if I'm going Rolling Stones, I've got 00:09:44.360 --> 00:09:47.500 to follow up with the Beatles, right? So I'm 00:09:47.500 --> 00:09:49.820 going John Lennon, whatever gets you through 00:09:49.820 --> 00:09:53.039 the night. Nice. Yeah. And it was Lennon's only 00:09:53.039 --> 00:09:56.860 number one single, which was interesting. And 00:09:56.860 --> 00:09:58.559 do you know the Elton John story behind this 00:09:58.559 --> 00:10:00.899 one? Yeah. In the studio with Elton John, Elton 00:10:00.899 --> 00:10:02.779 says, hey, this is a number one hit. John's like, 00:10:02.860 --> 00:10:05.039 no way. He goes, okay, if it is a number one 00:10:05.039 --> 00:10:07.419 hit, you come play live with me. The thing goes 00:10:07.419 --> 00:10:09.360 number one and Lennon comes and plays with him 00:10:09.360 --> 00:10:12.379 at Madison Square Garden. And that version is 00:10:12.379 --> 00:10:14.820 really awesome too, by the way. Yeah, it is. 00:10:14.860 --> 00:10:16.419 It is. Yeah. Whatever gets you through the night. 00:10:16.480 --> 00:10:18.470 That's a great tune. And if I'm not mistaken, 00:10:18.549 --> 00:10:20.690 that was also one of John Lennon's last major 00:10:20.690 --> 00:10:23.830 concert appearances. But the lead single from 00:10:23.830 --> 00:10:28.409 1974's Walls and Bridges, once again, only one 00:10:28.409 --> 00:10:31.610 week at number one. And the fact that this is 00:10:31.610 --> 00:10:34.070 Lennon's only number one single, like you mentioned, 00:10:34.190 --> 00:10:36.789 I think that's an astonishing fact. I think that's 00:10:36.789 --> 00:10:39.110 something that people overlook. And I bet you 00:10:39.110 --> 00:10:43.929 if you asked any average music fan, which song 00:10:43.929 --> 00:10:47.269 was John Lennon's only number one hit? Pretty 00:10:47.269 --> 00:10:49.370 safe to guess that 9 out of 10 people are going 00:10:49.370 --> 00:10:51.809 to get it wrong. Because even I would have guessed 00:10:51.809 --> 00:10:53.870 Imagine prior to whatever gets you through the 00:10:53.870 --> 00:10:55.450 night. And that's nothing against this song. 00:10:55.529 --> 00:10:58.070 I absolutely love this song. But along with Elton, 00:10:58.070 --> 00:11:00.649 I think we should also tip our hats to Bobby 00:11:00.649 --> 00:11:05.230 Keys and Ron Apria, who totally nailed the sax 00:11:05.230 --> 00:11:08.289 parts on this track. And for me, at least, I 00:11:08.289 --> 00:11:10.409 can't picture this song without the saxophone. 00:11:10.750 --> 00:11:12.490 Right. And that's interesting. You mentioned 00:11:12.490 --> 00:11:15.289 Bobby Keys. He played on Brown Sugar also. Yeah, 00:11:15.350 --> 00:11:18.110 these session musicians really made the rounds 00:11:18.110 --> 00:11:21.129 making it with, and I have some songs in my bank 00:11:21.129 --> 00:11:23.870 that also involve session musicians that we're 00:11:23.870 --> 00:11:25.730 probably going to talk about at some point here. 00:11:25.889 --> 00:11:27.769 He was a great session player. He played a lot 00:11:27.769 --> 00:11:29.870 of great tracks, especially with the Stones. 00:11:30.230 --> 00:11:33.210 Oh, yeah. Oh, yeah. But what I'm going to do 00:11:33.210 --> 00:11:37.169 now for track four is slow it down a little bit. 00:11:37.470 --> 00:11:39.269 All right. And I'm going to go with the third 00:11:39.269 --> 00:11:42.230 song in a row that only spent one week at number 00:11:42.230 --> 00:11:46.039 one. And I'm also going to go with an artist 00:11:46.039 --> 00:11:48.500 who, like John Lennon, it's his only number one 00:11:48.500 --> 00:11:51.139 song, at least in the U .S. And I'm going to 00:11:51.139 --> 00:11:55.700 go with Neil Young from 1972's Harvest, his only 00:11:55.700 --> 00:11:59.440 number one hit in the U .S., Heart of Gold. It 00:11:59.440 --> 00:12:02.500 also hit the number one spot in his home country 00:12:02.500 --> 00:12:05.399 of Canada, the Great White North as well. In 00:12:05.399 --> 00:12:09.600 2021, Rolling Stone ranked at number 259 on their 00:12:09.600 --> 00:12:13.039 list of the 500 greatest songs of all time. featuring 00:12:13.039 --> 00:12:17.080 backup vocals from James Taylor and Linda Ronstadt. 00:12:17.539 --> 00:12:21.159 I mean, think about that. These are people that 00:12:21.159 --> 00:12:24.860 have their own roster of hits up and down the 00:12:24.860 --> 00:12:27.740 charts, and they're just backing up Neil Young 00:12:27.740 --> 00:12:30.440 on this song. This has always been a favorite 00:12:30.440 --> 00:12:33.019 of mine. Besides Colburn and company playing 00:12:33.019 --> 00:12:35.039 this song at pretty much every gig we've ever 00:12:35.039 --> 00:12:38.539 done, it's been famously covered by the likes 00:12:38.539 --> 00:12:41.309 of Willie Nelson, who's... Cover version hit 00:12:41.309 --> 00:12:44.610 number 44 on the Hot Country Singles Chart in 00:12:44.610 --> 00:12:48.330 1987. It's also been covered by Roxette, Betty 00:12:48.330 --> 00:12:52.190 LeVette, Tori Amos, Johnny Cash featuring the 00:12:52.190 --> 00:12:54.850 Red Hot Chili Peppers and Black Label Society. 00:12:55.210 --> 00:12:58.529 So to me, this one's an absolute classic. Neil 00:12:58.529 --> 00:13:01.970 Young, Heart of Gold. Good pick and a good tempo 00:13:01.970 --> 00:13:04.350 too for what we're up to. So good time for Heart 00:13:04.350 --> 00:13:06.769 of Gold in there. All right. So what are we going 00:13:06.769 --> 00:13:09.820 to follow that up with for track five? I'm following 00:13:09.820 --> 00:13:13.899 up with another crazy number one. This is actually 00:13:13.899 --> 00:13:16.120 his first number one from David Bowie, and that 00:13:16.120 --> 00:13:20.799 is Fame, the song he did with John Lennon. So 00:13:20.799 --> 00:13:23.360 my connection is running pretty solid here. I 00:13:23.360 --> 00:13:28.200 got Stones, Beatles, and David Bowie. Stones, 00:13:28.200 --> 00:13:31.820 Beatles, Beatles, Stones. Yeah. The second single 00:13:31.820 --> 00:13:36.470 from 1975's Young Americans spent... Two whole 00:13:36.470 --> 00:13:40.830 weeks at number one. And it also hit number one 00:13:40.830 --> 00:13:43.909 in Canada. Now, the song, because I was in high 00:13:43.909 --> 00:13:46.429 school at the time, had a resurgence as Fame 00:13:46.429 --> 00:13:50.029 90 was released as part of the Pretty Woman soundtrack. 00:13:50.149 --> 00:13:53.750 That version hitting number six on the Billboard 00:13:53.750 --> 00:13:59.350 U .S. Dance Club Songs chart. There you go. Yeah. 00:13:59.450 --> 00:14:01.950 And I was reading about Bowie in this song. It 00:14:01.950 --> 00:14:04.289 was his least favorite track on the record. He 00:14:04.289 --> 00:14:06.250 hated it. He's like, nah, this is my least favorite 00:14:06.250 --> 00:14:11.909 song. And Carlos Alomar and Lennon were... Lennon 00:14:11.909 --> 00:14:14.250 played a small part in the research I did. He 00:14:14.250 --> 00:14:16.250 played a small part, but he did come up with 00:14:16.250 --> 00:14:18.929 a lick there in the beginning. And I think he 00:14:18.929 --> 00:14:20.610 called it something other than fame. I can't 00:14:20.610 --> 00:14:21.909 remember what he was saying. He was saying a 00:14:21.909 --> 00:14:24.240 word and David... picked up on it and said, no, 00:14:24.259 --> 00:14:27.159 let's go with Fame. And that's how they got that 00:14:27.159 --> 00:14:29.899 pretty cool track. Oh, it's a great track. And 00:14:29.899 --> 00:14:32.580 I don't think you get to like David Bowie and 00:14:32.580 --> 00:14:34.879 Trent Reznor's I'm Afraid of Americans without 00:14:34.879 --> 00:14:37.840 what he did on Fame. I feel like that vibe is 00:14:37.840 --> 00:14:40.440 what kind of took you through into the 90s where 00:14:40.440 --> 00:14:43.759 David Bowie was still seen as a prominent artist 00:14:43.759 --> 00:14:47.460 because that sound was around on this song originally. 00:14:47.919 --> 00:14:51.240 Yeah, very cool. Well, you've got this Stones, 00:14:51.480 --> 00:14:53.779 Beatles, Beatles, Stones thing going. I'm going 00:14:53.779 --> 00:14:56.200 to connect to one of my earlier songs as this 00:14:56.200 --> 00:14:59.899 person I just mentioned was singing backup vocals 00:14:59.899 --> 00:15:02.779 on Heart of Gold. But I'm going to bring her 00:15:02.779 --> 00:15:05.759 to the front of the stage for this one. And we're 00:15:05.759 --> 00:15:08.379 going to go with Linda Ronstadt's. You're No 00:15:08.379 --> 00:15:12.500 Good from 1974's Heart Like a Wheel. Once again, 00:15:12.559 --> 00:15:14.379 though, we're back to spending only one week 00:15:14.379 --> 00:15:18.440 at number one. So a deep, deep pick here. Written 00:15:18.440 --> 00:15:22.240 by Clint Ballard Jr. and first performed in 1963 00:15:22.240 --> 00:15:25.279 by Dee Dee Warwick. It was also a hit for the 00:15:25.279 --> 00:15:29.320 Swingin' Blue Jeans in 1964 before Linda made 00:15:29.320 --> 00:15:32.639 the song, at least in my humble opinion, her 00:15:32.639 --> 00:15:37.059 own. And yes, that includes Van Halen's cover. 00:15:37.639 --> 00:15:41.279 At the beginning of 1979's Van Halen 2. I love 00:15:41.279 --> 00:15:46.259 that version. But Linda Ronstadt's is just on 00:15:46.259 --> 00:15:48.360 another level. And it's because of this cover 00:15:48.360 --> 00:15:52.039 song that the majority of her hits throughout 00:15:52.039 --> 00:15:55.080 the rest of the decade would be cover songs. 00:15:55.360 --> 00:15:58.779 Think Blue Bayou, Tumble and Dice. It all started 00:15:58.779 --> 00:16:01.419 with You're No Good. Wow, that's great. That's 00:16:01.419 --> 00:16:03.639 such a great tune. That's a great trivia too. 00:16:03.700 --> 00:16:06.620 Back to like all those weird. People who did 00:16:06.620 --> 00:16:08.500 the song and I never knew that. I knew it was 00:16:08.500 --> 00:16:10.639 a cover, but I didn't know it was that deep in 00:16:10.639 --> 00:16:13.620 lore. And she's so good and such a great rock 00:16:13.620 --> 00:16:17.279 and roll female force. That's a great tune. All 00:16:17.279 --> 00:16:21.500 right. Well, we are now up to track seven. So 00:16:21.500 --> 00:16:23.419 where are we going to go from here? All right. 00:16:23.440 --> 00:16:25.279 So I'm gambling on this one. This has got to 00:16:25.279 --> 00:16:28.220 be longer than one week on the charts for this 00:16:28.220 --> 00:16:30.480 one. And I'm going to follow up Linda Ronstad 00:16:30.480 --> 00:16:33.610 with my favorite female. vocalist and rock and 00:16:33.610 --> 00:16:35.629 roll of all time. And that's Stevie Nicks and 00:16:35.629 --> 00:16:39.269 the song is Dreams with Fleetwood Mac. And so, 00:16:39.289 --> 00:16:41.389 tell me, did it stay on the charts more than 00:16:41.389 --> 00:16:47.750 one week? It did not. One week at number one. 00:16:48.070 --> 00:16:49.570 I would have put all in on that, man. I would 00:16:49.570 --> 00:16:52.809 have put all in. Really, it did not. Because, 00:16:52.889 --> 00:16:55.830 you know, Fleetwood Mac, if you look at the 70s, 00:16:55.830 --> 00:16:57.809 you would say that's one of the bands that... 00:16:58.059 --> 00:17:01.620 on the seventies, maybe the Eagles too, or, you 00:17:01.620 --> 00:17:04.039 know, making huge hits, but you know, rumors 00:17:04.039 --> 00:17:07.019 was so big. So I'm really surprised that dreams 00:17:07.019 --> 00:17:10.279 wasn't more than one week as a number one hit 00:17:10.279 --> 00:17:13.519 in the United States. Crazy. Agreed. And my mom 00:17:13.519 --> 00:17:16.140 has told me over the years that my love of music 00:17:16.140 --> 00:17:18.960 comes from the rumors album, because when she 00:17:18.960 --> 00:17:21.839 was pregnant with me every single night. She 00:17:21.839 --> 00:17:24.220 would put headphones on and listen to this album. 00:17:24.339 --> 00:17:27.299 So it's all a Stevie's fault. She hypnotized 00:17:27.299 --> 00:17:30.019 me in the womb and I've been a sucker for music 00:17:30.019 --> 00:17:33.500 ever since. The song ranked number nine on Rolling 00:17:33.500 --> 00:17:36.940 Stone's 2021 list of the 500 greatest songs of 00:17:36.940 --> 00:17:40.420 all time. I love my cover songs and the Coors 00:17:40.420 --> 00:17:43.640 version, which was originally on the legacy attribute 00:17:43.640 --> 00:17:46.740 to Fleetwood Mac's Rumors, actually had a dance 00:17:46.740 --> 00:17:50.269 remix by Oliver Lieber. And that became a top 00:17:50.269 --> 00:17:54.130 10 hit for the cores in Canada, the UK, Iceland, 00:17:54.289 --> 00:17:57.529 Hungary, and Scotland in the nineties. That's 00:17:57.529 --> 00:18:00.910 awesome. So between the hypnotic drum loop and 00:18:00.910 --> 00:18:05.170 yes, that's a drum loop in the song and Lindsay 00:18:05.170 --> 00:18:08.549 Buckingham's ability to turn three chords into 00:18:08.549 --> 00:18:12.359 various. segments of this song while keeping 00:18:12.359 --> 00:18:15.539 that continuous drum beat loop really speaks 00:18:15.539 --> 00:18:18.140 to all the members of Fleetwood Mac's talent 00:18:18.140 --> 00:18:22.140 because every section of Dreams feels different, 00:18:22.200 --> 00:18:25.460 but yet they're all the same. And obviously in 00:18:25.460 --> 00:18:28.980 2020, the song had a viral resurgence because 00:18:28.980 --> 00:18:32.400 of that TikTok moment when the guy went skating 00:18:32.400 --> 00:18:34.680 around listening to the song while drinking ocean 00:18:34.680 --> 00:18:37.710 spray cranberry juice. That made the song re 00:18:37.710 --> 00:18:40.150 -enter the charts and also hit the charts on 00:18:40.150 --> 00:18:43.849 Spotify and Apple Music some 40 plus years later. 00:18:43.970 --> 00:18:48.890 So love the track. Yeah, all -time classic. Absolutely 00:18:48.890 --> 00:18:51.890 an all -time classic. And I'm going to follow 00:18:51.890 --> 00:18:56.349 it up with a song that, again, spent one week. 00:18:56.910 --> 00:18:59.410 At number one, celebrate this record somewhere. 00:19:00.029 --> 00:19:04.710 And I'm going to go off of their 1974 album, 00:19:04.849 --> 00:19:07.710 not fragile. And we are going to go with Bachman 00:19:07.710 --> 00:19:10.230 Turner overdrives. You ain't seen nothing yet. 00:19:10.829 --> 00:19:13.869 Written by Randy Bachman. The song was also a 00:19:13.869 --> 00:19:17.549 number one hit in Canada, Germany, Denmark, and 00:19:17.549 --> 00:19:20.849 South Africa and became the band's only major 00:19:20.849 --> 00:19:24.509 hit in the UK. We're reached number two on the 00:19:24.509 --> 00:19:27.740 UK singles charts, which. Came to the surprise 00:19:27.740 --> 00:19:30.500 of Randy Bachman because he wrote this song as 00:19:30.500 --> 00:19:33.319 a joke and never intended it to be a single. 00:19:33.779 --> 00:19:36.539 It was when radio stations across the country 00:19:36.539 --> 00:19:40.140 started giving it airplay that Bachman actually 00:19:40.140 --> 00:19:42.700 decided to wave the white flag and release it 00:19:42.700 --> 00:19:46.839 as a single because he initially refused. That's 00:19:46.839 --> 00:19:48.940 awesome. Awesome. I'm going to throw some Randy 00:19:48.940 --> 00:19:52.319 Bachman stuff in here again because I do rock 00:19:52.319 --> 00:19:54.259 and roll documentaries. He's got a new documentary 00:19:54.259 --> 00:19:57.420 coming out. called Taking Care of Business and 00:19:57.420 --> 00:20:00.480 it's about his lost Gresh guitar. Have you heard 00:20:00.480 --> 00:20:03.480 the story of that one? No, I haven't. Yeah. Earlier 00:20:03.480 --> 00:20:05.240 in his career, he had this Gresh guitar that 00:20:05.240 --> 00:20:08.880 was like his number one and it was stolen. And 00:20:08.880 --> 00:20:12.039 he searched for years and years and years and 00:20:12.039 --> 00:20:14.180 he thought he saw it on a Thompson Twins video. 00:20:14.890 --> 00:20:17.329 So he chased after them to try to find his guitar. 00:20:17.589 --> 00:20:21.069 That wasn't it. He bought every garage possible, 00:20:21.269 --> 00:20:24.950 he claims, in the world to try to find that sound. 00:20:25.029 --> 00:20:28.849 Couldn't get it. And then during COVID, someone 00:20:28.849 --> 00:20:31.089 brought to his attention that, hey, I think I 00:20:31.089 --> 00:20:33.009 might have found it. I'm not going to spoil the 00:20:33.009 --> 00:20:35.589 story, but the documentary is called Taking Care 00:20:35.589 --> 00:20:37.289 of Business. I haven't seen it yet. It's coming 00:20:37.289 --> 00:20:39.990 out. I don't think it's streamed just yet, but... 00:20:40.480 --> 00:20:43.019 It sounds like it's going to be a great conclusion 00:20:43.019 --> 00:20:45.420 to that story of what happened to this guy's 00:20:45.420 --> 00:20:48.099 Gresham and all the years in between building 00:20:48.099 --> 00:20:51.119 up to it. So that's my rock and roll documentary 00:20:51.119 --> 00:20:54.859 recommendation for you. Oh, I can't wait to watch 00:20:54.859 --> 00:20:56.599 it. I really hope it doesn't end in the fact 00:20:56.599 --> 00:20:59.079 that he just picks it up and goes, nope, not 00:20:59.079 --> 00:21:02.859 it. And then they roll the credits. No spoilers 00:21:02.859 --> 00:21:05.740 here. All right. Well, we are up to track nine. 00:21:05.880 --> 00:21:08.359 So what do we got for your last song on side 00:21:08.359 --> 00:21:11.849 A? Last song on Saturday, we've got to do something 00:21:11.849 --> 00:21:13.930 different. We got to go away a little bit here. 00:21:14.349 --> 00:21:16.750 And like I said, I'm staying in the rock and 00:21:16.750 --> 00:21:19.569 roll zone, but I'm going to pull back a little 00:21:19.569 --> 00:21:22.309 bit and go with Stevie Wonder's Superstition. 00:21:22.650 --> 00:21:25.970 And it's got some rock and roll roots to it because 00:21:25.970 --> 00:21:29.170 he wrote that song with Jeff Beck. And Jeff Beck 00:21:29.170 --> 00:21:32.109 was kind of slow getting to it and they released 00:21:32.109 --> 00:21:35.849 Stevie's version first. And it's such a cool 00:21:35.849 --> 00:21:39.049 jam. And I think Stevie actually played... All 00:21:39.049 --> 00:21:41.609 the instruments on that record, too, which is 00:21:41.609 --> 00:21:44.029 incredible. And then what I like about it, the 00:21:44.029 --> 00:21:46.289 connection to Stevie was the Stevie Ray Vaughan 00:21:46.289 --> 00:21:48.809 version. Oh, yeah. Stevie Ray Vaughan just took 00:21:48.809 --> 00:21:51.809 and blew into the stratosphere with his version. 00:21:51.869 --> 00:21:54.609 So Stevie Wonder's Superstition is such a great, 00:21:54.670 --> 00:21:58.089 great tune. And then Beck also did the song with 00:21:58.089 --> 00:22:01.089 Beck Bogart in a piece. Yes. You had Widespread 00:22:01.089 --> 00:22:03.769 Paddock with the Dirty Dozen Brass Band and George 00:22:03.769 --> 00:22:06.779 Michael. Everyone's covered this song. It's a 00:22:06.779 --> 00:22:11.039 freaking anthem from 1972's Talking Book. It 00:22:11.039 --> 00:22:16.259 spent one week at number one. We stay there. 00:22:16.480 --> 00:22:19.960 In 2021, Rolling Stone ranked the song number 00:22:19.960 --> 00:22:22.839 12 on its list of the 500 greatest songs of all 00:22:22.839 --> 00:22:26.119 time. And the song won two Grammy Awards, one 00:22:26.119 --> 00:22:29.099 for best rhythm and blues song and one for best 00:22:29.099 --> 00:22:32.500 R &B vocal performance male. And finally, the 00:22:32.500 --> 00:22:35.500 song was inducted into the Grammy Hall of Fame. 00:22:36.089 --> 00:22:38.089 A well -deserved induction there. One of the 00:22:38.089 --> 00:22:42.829 greatest frigging funky -ass riffs ever. You 00:22:42.829 --> 00:22:46.089 nailed it. You nailed it. Exactly. Coming out 00:22:46.089 --> 00:22:48.789 of that, I think I'm going to stay with a little 00:22:48.789 --> 00:22:52.170 bit of that funkiness, but I'm going to inject 00:22:52.170 --> 00:22:55.089 a little bit of prog, a little bit of jazz, a 00:22:55.089 --> 00:22:59.930 little bit of experimentation, and... Another 00:22:59.930 --> 00:23:03.009 song that only spent one week at number one. 00:23:03.109 --> 00:23:06.069 However, I think it's going to be our only instrumental 00:23:06.069 --> 00:23:08.430 of the night. And I'm going to go with the Edgar 00:23:08.430 --> 00:23:12.269 Winter Group's Frankenstein from 1972's They 00:23:12.269 --> 00:23:15.269 Only Come Out at Night. It was also a number 00:23:15.269 --> 00:23:18.230 one hit in Canada. Rolling Stone lists it number 00:23:18.230 --> 00:23:22.470 seven on their list of the 25 best rock instrumentals. 00:23:23.230 --> 00:23:25.490 It was originally not even intended to make the 00:23:25.490 --> 00:23:28.349 album. It was only released as a B -side to Hanging 00:23:28.349 --> 00:23:31.250 Around, but the single was quickly flipped by 00:23:31.250 --> 00:23:34.309 the label when radio stations around the U .S. 00:23:34.309 --> 00:23:37.109 and Canada were getting hammered with requests 00:23:37.109 --> 00:23:40.869 for Frankenstein over Hanging Around. To me, 00:23:40.910 --> 00:23:43.349 this song is lightning in a bottle. You have 00:23:43.349 --> 00:23:45.869 Winter playing the bulk of the instruments on 00:23:45.869 --> 00:23:48.769 the track, including the synth, the piano, the 00:23:48.769 --> 00:23:51.519 saxophone, and the percussion. You have Rick 00:23:51.519 --> 00:23:53.839 Derringer, who did Rock and Roll Hoochie Coo, 00:23:53.960 --> 00:23:57.359 working production on this track with some guy 00:23:57.359 --> 00:23:59.799 named Ronnie Montrose on guitar. You might have 00:23:59.799 --> 00:24:02.819 heard of him. Nice. Dan Hartman, you know, the 00:24:02.819 --> 00:24:06.700 I Can Dream About You singer on bass and Chuck 00:24:06.700 --> 00:24:10.119 Ruff on drums. Believe it or not, I didn't discover 00:24:10.119 --> 00:24:12.619 this song until the 90s when it was one of the 00:24:12.619 --> 00:24:16.160 tracks. On the Encino Man soundtrack of all things, 00:24:16.240 --> 00:24:18.980 which I had picked up on vacation when we were 00:24:18.980 --> 00:24:21.500 down in North Carolina. I picked it up at a Radio 00:24:21.500 --> 00:24:24.500 Shack because at the time in the 90s, at least 00:24:24.500 --> 00:24:27.400 down in North Carolina, Radio Shack sold cassettes 00:24:27.400 --> 00:24:31.119 and CDs. I ended up grabbing the Offsprings Smash 00:24:31.119 --> 00:24:33.599 on cassette because they didn't have it on CD 00:24:33.599 --> 00:24:37.980 and the Encino Man soundtrack on CD. So total 00:24:37.980 --> 00:24:41.089 sidebar there. Fish has covered this song live 00:24:41.089 --> 00:24:44.470 close to a hundred times over the years. This 00:24:44.470 --> 00:24:48.009 song to me is just instrumental perfection. I 00:24:48.009 --> 00:24:50.950 think it's a fun way to close out Side A. Great 00:24:50.950 --> 00:24:54.509 ending aside one. Great job. Well, that mixtapers 00:24:54.509 --> 00:24:57.230 concludes Side A of the ultimate number one hits 00:24:57.230 --> 00:24:59.890 of the seventies mixtape, which consists of the 00:24:59.890 --> 00:25:02.869 Rolling Stones, Brown Sugar, Grand Funks, We're 00:25:02.869 --> 00:25:05.430 an American Band, John Lennon, Whatever Gets 00:25:05.430 --> 00:25:07.750 You Through the Night, Neil Young's Heart of 00:25:07.750 --> 00:25:11.519 Gold. David Bowie's Fame, Linda Ronstadt's You're 00:25:11.519 --> 00:25:14.779 No Good, Fleetwood Mac's Dreams, Bachman Turner 00:25:14.779 --> 00:25:17.400 Overdrive's You Ain't Seen Nothing Yet, Stevie 00:25:17.400 --> 00:25:20.480 Wonder's Superstition, and the Edgar Winter Group's 00:25:20.480 --> 00:25:23.720 Frankenstein. Head over to myweeklymixtape .com 00:25:23.720 --> 00:25:25.799 to hear all the songs we've discussed in this 00:25:25.799 --> 00:25:29.220 mix through the playlist embedded on the episode 00:25:29.220 --> 00:25:33.380 page. And now I get the honor of kicking off 00:25:33.380 --> 00:25:36.440 Side B, and I think I know exactly how we're 00:25:36.440 --> 00:25:39.670 going to do this. Okay. This side is going to 00:25:39.670 --> 00:25:42.630 start off with some drums, some iconic drums. 00:25:43.490 --> 00:25:45.630 And we're going to go with a song that spent 00:25:45.630 --> 00:25:53.069 six weeks. So we finally got a decent run for 00:25:53.069 --> 00:25:55.990 a number one hit. And we are going to go off 00:25:55.990 --> 00:26:00.150 of their 1979 debut. Get the knack, the knacks, 00:26:00.150 --> 00:26:04.710 my Sharona. The song ranks number 75 on Billboard's 00:26:04.710 --> 00:26:08.750 Hot 100 all -time songs list and number 16 on 00:26:08.750 --> 00:26:12.869 the top Billboard Hot 100 rock songs. To further 00:26:12.869 --> 00:26:16.109 put into perspective the legacy of My Sharona, 00:26:16.250 --> 00:26:19.210 during the making of Michael Jackson's Thriller, 00:26:19.410 --> 00:26:23.809 the now -late Quincy Jones, rest in peace, wanted 00:26:23.809 --> 00:26:26.369 the album to have a rock -and -roll -inspired 00:26:26.369 --> 00:26:31.019 song in the vein of My Sharona. With that advice, 00:26:31.339 --> 00:26:34.220 Michael Jackson wrote Beat It. Oh, that is so 00:26:34.220 --> 00:26:36.920 cool. And there's also that little parody by 00:26:36.920 --> 00:26:40.059 Weird Al Yankovic called My Bologna. And I guess 00:26:40.059 --> 00:26:42.079 since I mentioned Beat It, you also should mention 00:26:42.079 --> 00:26:45.279 Eat It because you got to include Weird Al's 00:26:45.279 --> 00:26:48.130 parody wherever. You can, at least in my world, 00:26:48.150 --> 00:26:51.130 you have to. And finally, let's not forget the 00:26:51.130 --> 00:26:54.309 resurgence that My Sharona had in the 90s as 00:26:54.309 --> 00:26:57.630 a result of the Reality Bites soundtrack. So 00:26:57.630 --> 00:27:00.609 a hit in both the 70s and the 90s, and to me, 00:27:00.710 --> 00:27:04.349 a timeless classic to kick off Side B. Absolutely. 00:27:04.529 --> 00:27:07.450 It's pretty crazy. There's six weeks on the charts. 00:27:07.730 --> 00:27:10.289 You know, you're going up against Dreams and 00:27:10.289 --> 00:27:13.690 Brown Sugar and Superstition, all these huge 00:27:13.690 --> 00:27:17.210 monster hits. But I think Maestro, I think you 00:27:17.210 --> 00:27:20.269 mentioned this earlier, is 79? It was in 79, 00:27:20.450 --> 00:27:22.650 yes. So I think you start seeing a little bit 00:27:22.650 --> 00:27:25.630 more longevity of charts as we got into the 80s, 00:27:25.630 --> 00:27:27.769 I think you mentioned. So maybe that played a 00:27:27.769 --> 00:27:30.789 part? I don't know. There's not a lot of songs 00:27:30.789 --> 00:27:35.930 that had lengthy runs during the 70s, which is 00:27:35.930 --> 00:27:38.309 a shame because every song we've talked about 00:27:38.309 --> 00:27:41.589 so far, you would think. Including my Sharona, 00:27:41.690 --> 00:27:43.690 there's only been three that have had a longer 00:27:43.690 --> 00:27:46.269 than one week run, which is completely shocking 00:27:46.269 --> 00:27:49.349 to me. Yeah, it is. It is. So I'm going to follow 00:27:49.349 --> 00:27:52.210 that up with another one that's kind of a shock. 00:27:52.329 --> 00:27:54.130 I don't know how many weeks it's been on the 00:27:54.130 --> 00:27:56.910 charts. And I thought when we were doing this, 00:27:56.930 --> 00:27:58.910 I'm like, all right, so I've got side one. Now 00:27:58.910 --> 00:28:00.549 what do I need to do to side two? So this is 00:28:00.549 --> 00:28:03.450 going to be my kickoff to side two. But it goes 00:28:03.450 --> 00:28:05.630 back to the Rolling Stones, my favorite Rolling 00:28:05.630 --> 00:28:08.329 Stones album, Some Girls, and the song is Miss 00:28:08.329 --> 00:28:11.730 You. Nice. Yeah. What a great tune. Kind of took 00:28:11.730 --> 00:28:14.009 them in a different kind of direction. They had 00:28:14.009 --> 00:28:16.029 that New York City vibe going on for the Miss 00:28:16.029 --> 00:28:19.869 You song in the Some Girls record. It was a little 00:28:19.869 --> 00:28:22.130 bit different. It had a little, you know, dancey 00:28:22.130 --> 00:28:24.630 disco flair. Mick was hanging out in the discos 00:28:24.630 --> 00:28:26.829 a little bit there in New York, but such a great 00:28:26.829 --> 00:28:30.299 tune. Timeless Stones tune. Couldn't agree more. 00:28:30.339 --> 00:28:32.420 And depending on who you ask in the band, the 00:28:32.420 --> 00:28:36.299 song is or isn't a disco tune because Mick Jagger 00:28:36.299 --> 00:28:38.940 and Ronnie Woods insisted it wasn't written that 00:28:38.940 --> 00:28:42.640 way. But Keith Richards said it was calculated 00:28:42.640 --> 00:28:47.200 to be a disco tune. Keith and Mick, they're different 00:28:47.200 --> 00:28:49.420 opinions. That's hard to believe. I'm shocked. 00:28:49.579 --> 00:28:53.559 I'm flabbergasted by that notion. Right. I don't 00:28:53.559 --> 00:28:55.880 think it's disco. Do you think it's disco? Would 00:28:55.880 --> 00:28:59.460 you call it disco? I'd say there's a disco. to 00:28:59.460 --> 00:29:02.640 the Rolling Stones sound. Right. I don't see 00:29:02.640 --> 00:29:05.119 Mick up there doing the Saturday Night Fever, 00:29:05.180 --> 00:29:07.420 John Travolta, Arm in the Air dance to this, 00:29:07.519 --> 00:29:10.039 but you definitely want to get up and kind of 00:29:10.039 --> 00:29:12.420 shake your groove thing to this song. There's 00:29:12.420 --> 00:29:15.000 definitely a dance vibe to it. Oh, yeah. There's 00:29:15.000 --> 00:29:17.000 a great groove to this one. But it's still Stones. 00:29:17.079 --> 00:29:18.960 It's still a rock song at the end of the day. 00:29:19.279 --> 00:29:23.079 Definitely. And it's a rock song that spent one 00:29:23.079 --> 00:29:26.440 week at number one and also hit number one in 00:29:26.440 --> 00:29:30.089 Canada. As was a top 10 hit in Australia, the 00:29:30.089 --> 00:29:33.769 UK, Sweden, Ireland, the Netherlands, and New 00:29:33.769 --> 00:29:37.410 Zealand. In 2010, Rolling Stone magazine ranked 00:29:37.410 --> 00:29:41.670 Miss You as number 498 on its list of the 500 00:29:41.670 --> 00:29:45.309 greatest songs of all time. So coming out of 00:29:45.309 --> 00:29:48.690 that, we've talked disco. Do I rip the bandaid 00:29:48.690 --> 00:29:50.630 and throw in disco duck here just for the hell 00:29:50.630 --> 00:29:54.410 of it? That was Rick D's, wasn't it? Rick D's 00:29:54.410 --> 00:29:57.069 and his cast of idiots. I had the 45 as a kid. 00:29:57.170 --> 00:29:59.829 Wow. How did I remember that? Yeah, we're from 00:29:59.829 --> 00:30:01.609 the same time period. And that thing was just 00:30:01.609 --> 00:30:04.789 like, what? We certainly are. And I am not going 00:30:04.789 --> 00:30:06.829 to go with Disco Duck as much as I love that 00:30:06.829 --> 00:30:09.869 song. People that know me as a kid, I took that 00:30:09.869 --> 00:30:12.569 45 everywhere. I thought it was frigging brilliant. 00:30:12.970 --> 00:30:15.069 But I am going to go with something that is disco, 00:30:15.170 --> 00:30:18.440 but also. I'm going to fully admit, kind of rocks. 00:30:18.740 --> 00:30:21.500 And I'm going to go with the Bee Gees' Stayin' 00:30:21.500 --> 00:30:24.740 Alive from 1977 Saturday Night Fever soundtrack, 00:30:25.119 --> 00:30:28.420 lasting four weeks at number one. So another 00:30:28.420 --> 00:30:32.720 quote -unquote massive hit. In 2021, Rolling 00:30:32.720 --> 00:30:35.400 Stone ranked the song number 99 on its list of 00:30:35.400 --> 00:30:38.640 500 greatest songs of all time. It made Time 00:30:38.640 --> 00:30:42.339 Magazine's list of all time 100 songs and is 00:30:42.339 --> 00:30:44.680 included in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame's 00:30:44.680 --> 00:30:48.740 500 songs that shaped rock and roll. In the 90s, 00:30:48.740 --> 00:30:51.319 again, back to my high school days, and Trance 00:30:51.319 --> 00:30:54.240 covered the song as a dance version. And that 00:30:54.240 --> 00:30:56.880 version hit number one in Australia, Canada, 00:30:57.119 --> 00:31:00.680 Scotland, and the UK, as well as becoming a top 00:31:00.680 --> 00:31:03.660 10 hit in countries all over the world. However, 00:31:03.779 --> 00:31:07.940 my favorite cover of Stayin' Alive. is Ozzy Osbourne 00:31:07.940 --> 00:31:10.400 and Dweezil Zappa's rock version that you can 00:31:10.400 --> 00:31:14.900 find on Ozzy's Prince of Darkness box set. I 00:31:14.900 --> 00:31:17.299 told you the song rocks, and if Ozzy blessed 00:31:17.299 --> 00:31:20.799 it, it belongs in this list. Nice. There you 00:31:20.799 --> 00:31:24.220 go. That's a good pick. So here comes another 00:31:24.220 --> 00:31:27.079 connection to my rock and roll people, but it's 00:31:27.079 --> 00:31:30.019 going to be, it's not as big as Bee Gees. It's 00:31:30.019 --> 00:31:32.319 not as big as the Stones, but this guy was around 00:31:32.319 --> 00:31:35.980 them, and it's Billy Preston's Funky. Nothing 00:31:35.980 --> 00:31:39.779 for nothing in 1974. Great get down tune from 00:31:39.779 --> 00:31:42.539 Billy Preston on the keyboards there. And one 00:31:42.539 --> 00:31:44.000 of the cool things I really liked about this 00:31:44.000 --> 00:31:47.660 song was this was the first performance on Saturday 00:31:47.660 --> 00:31:50.579 Night Live. Yes. Yes. Isn't that crazy? I would 00:31:50.579 --> 00:31:52.299 never pick. I would never have thought that. 00:31:52.380 --> 00:31:54.740 The first performance was Billy Preston. That's 00:31:54.740 --> 00:31:57.079 really cool. Yeah. We're dropping trivia left 00:31:57.079 --> 00:31:58.980 and right on this episode. So you could use this 00:31:58.980 --> 00:32:03.470 for your Jeopardy studies, I guess. From 1974's 00:32:03.470 --> 00:32:06.869 The Kids and Me, Nothing from Nothing spent one 00:32:06.869 --> 00:32:10.150 week at number one. It also charted in Canada 00:32:10.150 --> 00:32:12.730 where it hit number five and Australia where 00:32:12.730 --> 00:32:17.009 it hit 60. Billy Preston was rightly inducted 00:32:17.009 --> 00:32:18.829 into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame class of 00:32:18.829 --> 00:32:22.609 2021. And he's one of the very few musicians 00:32:22.609 --> 00:32:26.000 to ever be given a credit. on a Beatles recording, 00:32:26.380 --> 00:32:29.819 that being their 1969 single Get Back, as it 00:32:29.819 --> 00:32:33.559 was credited as the Beatles with Billy Preston, 00:32:33.579 --> 00:32:36.720 as per the band's request. As far as I'm concerned, 00:32:37.039 --> 00:32:40.519 nothing from nothing is joy in musical form, 00:32:40.579 --> 00:32:43.859 period. Absolutely. Yeah. Beautiful, beautiful 00:32:43.859 --> 00:32:46.200 tune. And that Get Back documentary, have you 00:32:46.200 --> 00:32:48.279 seen it? The Beatles Get Back documentary? Yes, 00:32:48.279 --> 00:32:50.420 yes. It's so great when he comes into the room 00:32:50.420 --> 00:32:52.039 and they just light up. And then when he starts 00:32:52.039 --> 00:32:53.920 playing with them, it's just... Creates this 00:32:53.920 --> 00:32:56.859 different magic within the four of those guys. 00:32:56.960 --> 00:32:59.440 That was really cool. You used the perfect word. 00:32:59.519 --> 00:33:01.819 He created magic with them. He really did. And 00:33:01.819 --> 00:33:05.039 what I'm going to do is tap into some of that 00:33:05.039 --> 00:33:08.720 magic, that funky vibe that you brought. And 00:33:08.720 --> 00:33:10.539 I'm going to go with a song that came out in 00:33:10.539 --> 00:33:15.579 1972 and spent a staggering one week at number 00:33:15.579 --> 00:33:19.180 one. Written by Norman Whitfield and Barrett 00:33:19.180 --> 00:33:22.079 Strong from Motown. This song was originally 00:33:22.079 --> 00:33:25.900 recorded by The Undisputed Truth. However, it 00:33:25.900 --> 00:33:29.000 was The Temptations that took Papa Was a Rolling 00:33:29.000 --> 00:33:32.240 Stone to the top of the charts. It was also a 00:33:32.240 --> 00:33:34.799 top 10 hit in the Netherlands, South Africa, 00:33:34.859 --> 00:33:38.460 and New Zealand, and was a top 20 hit in Canada, 00:33:38.640 --> 00:33:42.339 the UK, and Germany. Then again, my cover versions, 00:33:42.440 --> 00:33:46.019 I'm sorry, in 1990, Was Not Was released a cover 00:33:46.019 --> 00:33:49.690 that charted in the US. Canada, Australia, the 00:33:49.690 --> 00:33:53.269 UK, and Austria, among several other countries. 00:33:53.549 --> 00:33:56.710 And over the last few years, we've gotten some 00:33:56.710 --> 00:34:00.009 killer versions of this song from both the Black 00:34:00.009 --> 00:34:05.809 Crows on their 1972 EP and Slash featuring Demi 00:34:05.809 --> 00:34:09.030 Lovato, of all people, on his Orgy of the Damned 00:34:09.030 --> 00:34:12.570 album. That entire Slash Orgy of the Damned album 00:34:12.570 --> 00:34:16.090 is a cover song's delight. But he brought the 00:34:16.090 --> 00:34:18.789 rock to Papa Was a Rolling Stone. And Papa Was 00:34:18.789 --> 00:34:24.269 a Rolling Stone is a funk R &B flavor tune. But 00:34:24.269 --> 00:34:26.909 make no mistake, The Temptations rocked this 00:34:26.909 --> 00:34:30.090 one as well. Yeah. Yeah. Very good choice there, 00:34:30.250 --> 00:34:32.329 especially coming off of the Billy Preston tune. 00:34:32.409 --> 00:34:34.449 So I'm going to double down on that and stay 00:34:34.449 --> 00:34:37.849 with the master, kind of the father of that funk 00:34:37.849 --> 00:34:42.030 R &B sound stuff. And that was Sly Stone. Sly 00:34:42.030 --> 00:34:44.349 and the Family Stones. Thank you for letting 00:34:44.349 --> 00:34:47.380 me. be myself again. I'm not going to try to 00:34:47.380 --> 00:34:50.940 say it in that weird way they spelt it out. Even 00:34:50.940 --> 00:34:52.860 his memoir was that. That was the title of it, 00:34:52.860 --> 00:34:55.599 all spelt out crazy. But that was just a get 00:34:55.599 --> 00:34:59.119 down tune. And Sly had so many of those great 00:34:59.119 --> 00:35:02.000 tunes from that time where he just, he was in 00:35:02.000 --> 00:35:05.159 the zone there for a while. Just one after another 00:35:05.159 --> 00:35:08.940 of those really good, funky, rock, R &B soul 00:35:08.940 --> 00:35:12.599 smashes. Oh, his greatest hit CD is a party. 00:35:12.719 --> 00:35:14.659 You just put that in and you've got the party 00:35:14.659 --> 00:35:17.280 set. And I'm not going to lie. I love the Mondegreen 00:35:17.280 --> 00:35:20.179 spelling of the song title. This was before corn 00:35:20.179 --> 00:35:22.460 and limp biscuit made it a thing in the 90s. 00:35:22.579 --> 00:35:25.420 Sly and the Family Stone invented it in the 70s. 00:35:25.559 --> 00:35:28.500 It was a double A side, including Everybody is 00:35:28.500 --> 00:35:31.360 a Star that was released in December of 1969. 00:35:32.340 --> 00:35:34.860 So this was actually a song that was recorded 00:35:34.860 --> 00:35:38.329 and released in the 60s. but didn't hit that 00:35:38.329 --> 00:35:41.909 number one spot until February of 1970, where 00:35:41.909 --> 00:35:45.889 it stayed for a staggering two weeks at number 00:35:45.889 --> 00:35:48.429 one. Two. Two weeks this time. Wow, that's some 00:35:48.429 --> 00:35:51.809 great trivia. In the 60s, but it hit in the 70s, 00:35:51.809 --> 00:35:54.349 so it snuck in there. Yes, and it was the fourth 00:35:54.349 --> 00:35:57.329 number one hit of the entire decade following 00:35:57.329 --> 00:36:00.829 B .J. Thomas' Raindrops Keep Falling on My Head, 00:36:01.110 --> 00:36:04.650 the Jackson 5's I Want You Back, and Shocking 00:36:04.650 --> 00:36:08.280 Blue's Venus. Don't know that one. You probably 00:36:08.280 --> 00:36:11.760 know if you remember Banana Ram as Venus in the 00:36:11.760 --> 00:36:15.980 80s. This was the original of that. Okay. Now, 00:36:16.000 --> 00:36:18.059 Sly and the Family Stones' Thank You was ranked 00:36:18.059 --> 00:36:21.260 number 410 on Rolling Stone's 500 Greatest Songs 00:36:21.260 --> 00:36:24.320 of All Time. And while it's not a cover per se, 00:36:24.639 --> 00:36:28.519 Janet Jackson's Rhythm Nation from the 1989 album 00:36:28.519 --> 00:36:31.599 of the same name includes a really cool sample 00:36:31.599 --> 00:36:35.159 from this song. Yeah. He talked about someone 00:36:35.159 --> 00:36:39.019 who was sampled a lot. He was sampled. why not 00:36:39.019 --> 00:36:41.840 i mean it's just screaming sample me sample me 00:36:41.840 --> 00:36:46.559 really exactly well to follow that up i'm gonna 00:36:46.559 --> 00:36:52.059 stay funky but i'm gonna bring us a little bit 00:36:52.059 --> 00:36:55.019 out of the r &b realm and back into rock and 00:36:55.019 --> 00:36:57.760 maybe even a little bit of folk As this song 00:36:57.760 --> 00:37:01.000 was another double A -side single like Sly and 00:37:01.000 --> 00:37:04.340 the Family Stone, but it happened in 1971 and 00:37:04.340 --> 00:37:06.619 it was a double A -side with the single It's 00:37:06.619 --> 00:37:09.219 Too Late. And I'm going to go with Carole King's 00:37:09.219 --> 00:37:13.320 I Feel the Earth Move. Number one for five consecutive 00:37:13.320 --> 00:37:16.420 weeks. So another long running song here. It 00:37:16.420 --> 00:37:19.059 also reached number six in both the UK and Australia. 00:37:19.119 --> 00:37:22.639 And together with It's Too Late, I Feel the Earth 00:37:22.639 --> 00:37:28.630 Move was number 213. On the RIAA's 365 songs 00:37:28.630 --> 00:37:32.070 of the century. Now there is some controversy 00:37:32.070 --> 00:37:35.809 surrounding this song because It's Too Late technically 00:37:35.809 --> 00:37:39.429 received more airplay in comparison. But coming 00:37:39.429 --> 00:37:42.369 out of Sly and the Family Stone, I feel like 00:37:42.369 --> 00:37:44.610 it was too much of a pivot to go with It's Too 00:37:44.610 --> 00:37:49.050 Late. The vibe of I Feel the Earth Move, I think, 00:37:49.170 --> 00:37:51.869 brings you out of that little run of R &B and 00:37:51.869 --> 00:37:54.550 funk in a way where you could go somewhere else 00:37:54.550 --> 00:37:57.449 with it. And I think people also have a blind 00:37:57.449 --> 00:38:02.650 spot on this song because in 1989, Martika released 00:38:02.650 --> 00:38:06.070 a cover of this song. And I think the entire 00:38:06.070 --> 00:38:08.550 country was still basking in the glow of Toy 00:38:08.550 --> 00:38:11.469 Soldiers because most people refer to Martika 00:38:11.469 --> 00:38:15.280 as a one -hit wonder. But her cover of I Feel 00:38:15.280 --> 00:38:18.400 the Earth Move hit number 25 on the Billboard 00:38:18.400 --> 00:38:23.320 US Hot 100 and was a top 10 hit in the UK, Australia, 00:38:23.860 --> 00:38:27.599 Ireland, and New Zealand. Wow. But even that's 00:38:27.599 --> 00:38:31.000 not my favorite cover because in 2013, Shinedown 00:38:31.000 --> 00:38:34.940 released a killer version on the Warner Sound 00:38:34.940 --> 00:38:37.840 Live Room EP that if you haven't heard it, I 00:38:37.840 --> 00:38:40.260 highly suggest checking it out. Total gender 00:38:40.260 --> 00:38:43.489 flip on the song, but it works. so frigging well. 00:38:43.989 --> 00:38:46.610 Very cool. And that song was funky, no doubt 00:38:46.610 --> 00:38:48.929 about it. That piano piece there. And what I 00:38:48.929 --> 00:38:51.610 found interesting in that song is, you know, 00:38:51.610 --> 00:38:54.469 that starts the album off and then you have So 00:38:54.469 --> 00:38:56.889 Far Away and It's Too Late. And you've got a 00:38:56.889 --> 00:38:59.670 friend, these really different mellow songs. 00:38:59.949 --> 00:39:01.409 It's Carole King. You're like, wait a minute, 00:39:01.429 --> 00:39:03.409 what happened there in the beginning? Where'd 00:39:03.409 --> 00:39:07.650 that go? You know? The tapestry record. Yeah, 00:39:07.650 --> 00:39:09.309 I don't think that's what people were looking 00:39:09.309 --> 00:39:12.730 for, which is why it didn't really hit on the 00:39:12.730 --> 00:39:14.769 charts as much as It's Too Late did, because 00:39:14.769 --> 00:39:17.550 It's Too Late, I think, follows into the songs 00:39:17.550 --> 00:39:18.849 you mentioned there. Obviously, you mentioned 00:39:18.849 --> 00:39:21.489 that one, but that's more of what people think 00:39:21.489 --> 00:39:23.369 of when they think of Carole King. But for me, 00:39:23.670 --> 00:39:26.269 the rock guy in me, it's I Feel the Earth Move. 00:39:26.610 --> 00:39:28.510 Yeah, that's a good song. Good song. That's a 00:39:28.510 --> 00:39:30.710 good one. Good. So we're going to stick with 00:39:30.710 --> 00:39:33.269 a little rock here, and we've got to include 00:39:33.269 --> 00:39:36.349 a guy who wrote a lot of really cool 70s songs, 00:39:36.469 --> 00:39:39.699 and that's Steve Miller and Rock Me. The great 00:39:39.699 --> 00:39:42.440 Rockin' Me classic that he wrote to kind of expand 00:39:42.440 --> 00:39:45.579 his sound. I read where he was doing a lot of 00:39:45.579 --> 00:39:47.440 shows, doing a lot of festivals. And he was playing 00:39:47.440 --> 00:39:49.519 with Pink Floyd at the time. And he wanted to 00:39:49.519 --> 00:39:52.960 have a song that could just hit that festival 00:39:52.960 --> 00:39:55.460 audience and these big, large audiences that 00:39:55.460 --> 00:39:58.260 he was playing to. And he came up with Rockin' 00:39:58.260 --> 00:40:00.260 Me. And there's only three guys playing on that 00:40:00.260 --> 00:40:02.159 song. It's him and the bass player and the drums. 00:40:02.320 --> 00:40:05.710 That's it. And considering how beloved the song 00:40:05.710 --> 00:40:08.289 is, I think you hit the nail on the head because 00:40:08.289 --> 00:40:11.989 according to setlist .fm, it's one of the songs 00:40:11.989 --> 00:40:14.429 that Steve Miller's performed the most in his 00:40:14.429 --> 00:40:18.550 career over the decades, alongside of the Joker, 00:40:18.690 --> 00:40:22.630 his cover of Paul Pena's Jet Airliner, Abracadabra 00:40:22.630 --> 00:40:25.730 and Fly Like an Eagle. As somebody who grew up 00:40:25.730 --> 00:40:30.289 with. the greatest hits 1974 to 78 album in his 00:40:30.289 --> 00:40:33.389 collection. Yeah. I feel like this is a must 00:40:33.389 --> 00:40:35.710 have on a seventies playlist. And I'm glad we 00:40:35.710 --> 00:40:38.130 found a spot for at least one Steve Miller song 00:40:38.130 --> 00:40:41.550 because I had both this and the Joker sitting 00:40:41.550 --> 00:40:44.550 in my bank tonight, waiting to go. This song 00:40:44.550 --> 00:40:49.690 spent one week on both the U S and Canada charts 00:40:49.690 --> 00:40:53.349 at number one, and also charted in the UK, the 00:40:53.349 --> 00:40:56.599 Netherlands. New Zealand and South Africa. So 00:40:56.599 --> 00:40:59.719 one of the big ones from Steve Miller band, I'm 00:40:59.719 --> 00:41:02.719 so glad we got that into the mix because I think 00:41:02.719 --> 00:41:04.639 I would have felt some guilt if we didn't, because 00:41:04.639 --> 00:41:08.019 I can't tell you how many times we spun 74 to 00:41:08.019 --> 00:41:11.239 78 to me, even though it's a greatest hits album, 00:41:11.340 --> 00:41:14.480 it's one of those ones that transcended the greatest 00:41:14.480 --> 00:41:16.539 hits album, kind of like the Eagles greatest 00:41:16.539 --> 00:41:19.800 hits and the Doobie brothers greatest hits. Steve 00:41:19.800 --> 00:41:23.719 Miller band, 74 to 78 to me. Almost feels like 00:41:23.719 --> 00:41:26.739 a Steve Miller studio album. Yeah. It's one of 00:41:26.739 --> 00:41:28.760 those iconic pieces of the seventies. Like we 00:41:28.760 --> 00:41:31.059 were talking earlier about rumors, of course. 00:41:31.079 --> 00:41:33.820 And yeah, that Miller's greatest hits, you know, 00:41:33.840 --> 00:41:35.900 everybody from that time has got a copy of that 00:41:35.900 --> 00:41:39.019 one. Oh, gotcha. And the cassette and the eight 00:41:39.019 --> 00:41:41.159 track. I was going to say, and I got the CD as 00:41:41.159 --> 00:41:44.980 well. So I had to have that in the nineties when 00:41:44.980 --> 00:41:46.900 I was in my car and I had to have the CDs with 00:41:46.900 --> 00:41:49.840 me. Right. All right. Well, we're at that point 00:41:49.840 --> 00:41:53.269 where we each have one song left. And I know 00:41:53.269 --> 00:41:56.530 we've talked about the Beatles tonight, but we 00:41:56.530 --> 00:41:58.929 only talked about the Beatles in a solo sense. 00:41:59.170 --> 00:42:02.590 So I felt it's only fitting as my last song tonight 00:42:02.590 --> 00:42:06.130 to at least put one Beatles song in the fold 00:42:06.130 --> 00:42:10.710 for our discussion. That being the title track 00:42:10.710 --> 00:42:15.170 from 1970s. Let it be where it spent two weeks 00:42:15.170 --> 00:42:19.889 at number one. This was the Beatles final. single 00:42:19.889 --> 00:42:22.289 released before Paul McCartney announced his 00:42:22.289 --> 00:42:26.150 departure from the band. And in 2004, the song 00:42:26.150 --> 00:42:29.670 was inducted into the Grammy Hall of Fame, rightfully 00:42:29.670 --> 00:42:33.469 so. In 2010, Rolling Stone ranked it number eight 00:42:33.469 --> 00:42:38.130 on its list of 101 greatest Beatles songs, where 00:42:38.130 --> 00:42:41.769 Mojo Magazine, in a very similar list, ranked 00:42:41.769 --> 00:42:45.789 it 50, a lot lower. Rolling Stone also ranked 00:42:45.789 --> 00:42:49.949 Let It Be number 20. on its 500 greatest songs 00:42:49.949 --> 00:42:52.710 of all time list, and in the throwback to another 00:42:52.710 --> 00:42:55.610 song we talked about on this side, the late, 00:42:55.650 --> 00:42:58.369 great Billy Preston laying down that Hammond 00:42:58.369 --> 00:43:00.969 organ on this track, making it work. I mean, 00:43:01.030 --> 00:43:03.929 again, I can't picture Let It Be without that 00:43:03.929 --> 00:43:07.239 organ. It's Billy Preston, man. I love the Beatles. 00:43:07.360 --> 00:43:09.679 I take nothing away from it. But you pull that 00:43:09.679 --> 00:43:12.420 organ out of the track, and I think you lose 00:43:12.420 --> 00:43:14.760 a little bit of what made this song so magical 00:43:14.760 --> 00:43:18.400 and such an iconic part of Beatles history. Big 00:43:18.400 --> 00:43:21.719 time, big time. And so let's go back to what 00:43:21.719 --> 00:43:24.079 a mixtape is and how you put them together. And 00:43:24.079 --> 00:43:25.420 we've been bouncing around and putting things 00:43:25.420 --> 00:43:28.800 together. So the end of the mixtape, just like 00:43:28.800 --> 00:43:30.719 the beginning of the mixtape, you've got to end 00:43:30.719 --> 00:43:32.980 on a grand finale. Right? You've got to have 00:43:32.980 --> 00:43:35.860 that big moment at the end of a mixtape. So I'm 00:43:35.860 --> 00:43:37.619 going to propose something to you, Ryan, that 00:43:37.619 --> 00:43:40.079 I don't know if it's ever been proposed or done 00:43:40.079 --> 00:43:42.219 on this show before. I've listened to a bunch 00:43:42.219 --> 00:43:44.300 of them. I've never heard it before. All right. 00:43:44.320 --> 00:43:47.500 You have my attention. I'm tapping out. Wow. 00:43:48.000 --> 00:43:51.679 I have no final song. Let It Be is the final 00:43:51.679 --> 00:43:54.320 song of this mixtape. You cannot beat Let It 00:43:54.320 --> 00:43:56.739 Be. I had a song in there, but I'm like, you 00:43:56.739 --> 00:43:59.760 can't really come with any song after Let It 00:43:59.760 --> 00:44:02.110 Be. Probably one of the greatest. Finale songs 00:44:02.110 --> 00:44:04.510 in rock and roll history. Paul, you know, any 00:44:04.510 --> 00:44:06.889 concert, let it be. Come on. You can't be that. 00:44:06.969 --> 00:44:10.849 That's it. It's a complete tape. Well, there 00:44:10.849 --> 00:44:15.849 you have it, folks.

Side B kicked off with the 00:44:27.889 --> 00:44:31.119 Naxx My Sharona.
