00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:02.700
Hi everybody, this is Brian Clem from Suburban

00:00:02.700 --> 00:00:05.879
Legends and you are listening to my weekly mixtape

00:00:05.879 --> 00:00:09.460
with the very handsome Brian Colburn. I have

00:00:09.460 --> 00:00:11.720
a crush, you have a crush, let's have a crush

00:00:11.720 --> 00:00:26.719
together. Tune in! Welcome to My Weekly Mixtape,

00:00:26.760 --> 00:00:29.359
a podcast that takes the classic mixtape approach

00:00:29.980 --> 00:00:32.520
to building a modern playlist. I'm your host,

00:00:32.600 --> 00:00:35.500
Brian Colburn. Joining me as guest curator tonight

00:00:35.500 --> 00:00:39.240
is Brian Clem, guitarist for the fantastic ska

00:00:39.240 --> 00:00:42.340
punk band Suburban Legends. Brian, thank you

00:00:42.340 --> 00:00:44.439
so much for joining me on my weekly mixtape.

00:00:44.700 --> 00:00:47.399
Thank you for saying fantastic. I mean, normally

00:00:47.399 --> 00:00:50.679
it's just the band name, but we don't get a congratulations

00:00:50.679 --> 00:00:54.500
in the beginning of it. So thank you. First things

00:00:54.500 --> 00:00:56.479
first, I want to let the listeners out there

00:00:56.479 --> 00:00:59.780
know that yes, this is a Songs of Disney episode.

00:00:59.840 --> 00:01:03.159
However, Suburban Legends are a ska punk band.

00:01:03.380 --> 00:01:05.920
So while some of the topics tonight obviously

00:01:05.920 --> 00:01:08.980
are going to be completely family friendly, some

00:01:08.980 --> 00:01:11.319
of them might not. So for the parents out there,

00:01:11.420 --> 00:01:13.540
if your kids are around, I would suggest giving

00:01:13.540 --> 00:01:16.000
this a listen without them first and then deciding

00:01:16.000 --> 00:01:18.700
for yourself if you want to play it. for the

00:01:18.700 --> 00:01:21.780
kiddos. Now, Brian, as a first time guest, I

00:01:21.780 --> 00:01:23.920
like to start by asking you the same question

00:01:23.920 --> 00:01:27.359
I ask all of my first time guests. And that is,

00:01:27.379 --> 00:01:31.659
what does the word mixtape mean to you? Oh, dude,

00:01:31.799 --> 00:01:34.920
that's a heavy thing because listening to your

00:01:34.920 --> 00:01:37.760
other podcast, because I'm a fan now. Oh, awesome.

00:01:37.879 --> 00:01:40.439
I had some time to do some like thinking about

00:01:40.439 --> 00:01:43.040
the mixtape thing. And the first mixtape I ever

00:01:43.040 --> 00:01:49.569
got, I still have it. Sarah. 1999, 2000, we started

00:01:49.569 --> 00:01:52.549
dating at the very end of high school and she

00:01:52.549 --> 00:01:54.750
was Mormon and she was going away to school.

00:01:54.909 --> 00:01:57.650
So it was bad timing for us to get wrapped up.

00:01:57.989 --> 00:02:00.510
But anyway, she was like kind of like an emo

00:02:00.510 --> 00:02:02.909
kid, but she didn't look like it back then. She

00:02:02.909 --> 00:02:05.109
was just an adorable, flipped out, cute eight

00:02:05.109 --> 00:02:08.289
frame dresses and stuff. And I came back to my

00:02:08.289 --> 00:02:11.169
car because I had a 54 Bel Air and it was in

00:02:11.169 --> 00:02:13.090
the process of restoring it. I was 17 or 18.

00:02:13.169 --> 00:02:15.009
She had left it in my car because she knew it

00:02:15.009 --> 00:02:17.270
was unlocked. Because the locks weren't working.

00:02:18.229 --> 00:02:21.629
And it was my first mixtape. And it was so cute.

00:02:21.830 --> 00:02:24.009
And she put all the bands and everything and

00:02:24.009 --> 00:02:26.069
wrote cute little messages and hearts and stuff.

00:02:26.870 --> 00:02:29.610
And I swooned hard. I'd never gotten a mixtape

00:02:29.610 --> 00:02:32.090
before. And I listened to that mixtape a thousand

00:02:32.090 --> 00:02:34.030
times. And that's where I got introduced to The

00:02:34.030 --> 00:02:36.750
Promise Ring, The Get Up Kids, Reggie and the

00:02:36.750 --> 00:02:38.969
Full Effects, Sunday Day Real Estate. But it

00:02:38.969 --> 00:02:40.610
was my introduction to that because I was in

00:02:40.610 --> 00:02:42.270
the ska band in high school. And I listened to...

00:02:42.520 --> 00:02:45.099
blues. And I was in a ska band. I didn't listen

00:02:45.099 --> 00:02:46.780
to ska that much. And I just started getting

00:02:46.780 --> 00:02:49.800
into ska after I joined Suburban Legends. And

00:02:49.800 --> 00:02:51.719
it just meant the world to me because I was so

00:02:51.719 --> 00:02:53.460
smitten by this girl. We didn't get a chance

00:02:53.460 --> 00:02:55.120
to date very long because it was at the very

00:02:55.120 --> 00:02:57.340
end of high school. Literally, we went to prom

00:02:57.340 --> 00:03:01.180
together and we went on a couple of dates and

00:03:01.180 --> 00:03:04.259
then she went away to school. Heartbroken, just

00:03:04.259 --> 00:03:07.400
like, oh, but maybe it was for the better because

00:03:07.400 --> 00:03:09.039
I knew what it was kind of like to have a cute

00:03:09.039 --> 00:03:11.020
relationship like that and have my heart broken.

00:03:11.020 --> 00:03:14.169
But in a cute soft way but i still have that

00:03:14.169 --> 00:03:18.030
mixtape and i made her one back and i put on

00:03:18.030 --> 00:03:19.789
what they're what i was into at the time and

00:03:19.789 --> 00:03:21.509
i just got into the impossibles i don't know

00:03:21.509 --> 00:03:23.610
if you know who they are the impossibles ultimate

00:03:23.610 --> 00:03:27.689
fake book and i put like kind of like power pop

00:03:27.689 --> 00:03:30.409
and ska on one side of band called that i was

00:03:30.409 --> 00:03:32.590
obsessed with slow gherkin they were our first

00:03:32.590 --> 00:03:34.569
band we ever toured with and on the other side

00:03:34.569 --> 00:03:37.409
was a bunch of blues probably didn't care about

00:03:37.409 --> 00:03:40.599
awesome Tonight, we're talking about a topic

00:03:40.599 --> 00:03:43.099
that's been heavily requested since I started

00:03:43.099 --> 00:03:45.740
this show, and that's an episode that's dedicated

00:03:45.740 --> 00:03:49.120
to the songs of Disney, be it from movies, TV

00:03:49.120 --> 00:03:51.800
shows, you name it. So the listeners out there

00:03:51.800 --> 00:03:54.939
might be asking themselves, so why is there a

00:03:54.939 --> 00:03:58.819
member of a ska punk band as your guest curator?

00:03:59.240 --> 00:04:01.520
And that's where, Brian, I'm going to kindly

00:04:01.520 --> 00:04:05.159
ask you to talk about Suburban Legend's connection

00:04:05.159 --> 00:04:09.099
to Disney and its music over the years. Oh, man.

00:04:09.219 --> 00:04:11.900
Well, that that goes down real deep because my

00:04:11.900 --> 00:04:16.100
band, as we were best friends, I mean, the lead

00:04:16.100 --> 00:04:17.800
singer, Vince Walker, is my best friend. He's

00:04:17.800 --> 00:04:19.740
been my best friend since I was like 13 or 14.

00:04:20.120 --> 00:04:23.420
And we're 22 now. So that's a good amount of

00:04:23.420 --> 00:04:27.199
time. And all of us had Disneyland passes. You

00:04:27.199 --> 00:04:29.019
know, I mean, I don't know if it's still a cool

00:04:29.019 --> 00:04:30.639
thing to have a Disneyland pass because you have

00:04:30.639 --> 00:04:33.089
to mortgage your house to get one. But I mean,

00:04:33.089 --> 00:04:34.610
but for people, they're like, I don't care. I'm

00:04:34.610 --> 00:04:36.509
going to pay because I have to get my fix. But

00:04:36.509 --> 00:04:38.750
back then, you know, we all had them. And so

00:04:38.750 --> 00:04:40.870
we would go to Disneyland literally every single

00:04:40.870 --> 00:04:45.350
week. And my trumpet player, Aaron Bertram, he

00:04:45.350 --> 00:04:48.810
worked for Disney at that time. And he was determined

00:04:48.810 --> 00:04:51.569
to get our band to audition for Disney somehow.

00:04:51.709 --> 00:04:54.769
God bless his tenacious attitude and just persistence

00:04:54.769 --> 00:04:56.790
because, you know, that's like an impossible

00:04:56.790 --> 00:04:59.129
entity to get into. You think, how can I get

00:04:59.129 --> 00:05:02.160
into Disney? But he did. Like some sort of wizard.

00:05:02.379 --> 00:05:06.660
He got us in. And with that close ties to Disney,

00:05:06.819 --> 00:05:10.540
we went into our audition as little kids and

00:05:10.540 --> 00:05:13.459
did the whole four suits sitting in chairs in

00:05:13.459 --> 00:05:15.339
a white room covered with mirrors in the back

00:05:15.339 --> 00:05:17.560
lot of Disney and a bunch of guys going, what

00:05:17.560 --> 00:05:19.579
are we doing here? I think we're going to get

00:05:19.579 --> 00:05:22.819
found out. We're out of our element and just

00:05:22.819 --> 00:05:25.060
played what we did. We played a couple songs

00:05:25.060 --> 00:05:27.300
and they liked us. And then we went back for

00:05:27.300 --> 00:05:29.959
a second audition to play inside the park in

00:05:29.959 --> 00:05:32.259
Tomorrowland Terrace. And so we thought, you

00:05:32.259 --> 00:05:34.759
know, we love Disney. Why not throw a Disney

00:05:34.759 --> 00:05:37.259
cover in there? And then so we started playing

00:05:37.259 --> 00:05:39.220
Under the Sea. And then that kind of turned into

00:05:39.220 --> 00:05:40.819
our thing. And then we started playing for Disney

00:05:40.819 --> 00:05:43.399
all the time. We started Downtown Disney. We

00:05:43.399 --> 00:05:44.939
were the first band to play in Downtown Disney

00:05:44.939 --> 00:05:47.199
in Orange County when it opened up. And now bands

00:05:47.199 --> 00:05:49.019
have been playing there forever. But we were

00:05:49.019 --> 00:05:52.300
the first. And so we thought, why not be more

00:05:52.300 --> 00:05:54.100
on brand? And we all love Disney. So we started

00:05:54.100 --> 00:05:55.759
covering a couple of Disney songs just to put

00:05:55.759 --> 00:05:57.810
them in the set. And we'd do our own rendition

00:05:57.810 --> 00:06:00.449
of a Scott Disney song, whatever. Now, I think

00:06:00.449 --> 00:06:02.730
the first one we did was Under the Sea. No, first

00:06:02.730 --> 00:06:05.430
one we did would be, we did our own funny version

00:06:05.430 --> 00:06:08.129
of Gummy Bears. Oh, cool. It's always been kind

00:06:08.129 --> 00:06:10.629
of a cult classic that if people dig into the

00:06:10.629 --> 00:06:12.170
internet, the very end of the internet, you'll

00:06:12.170 --> 00:06:15.750
find our Gummy Bears recording, which was a Disney

00:06:15.750 --> 00:06:18.209
cartoon. And so we started doing that. And then

00:06:18.209 --> 00:06:21.490
we started touring. And we played the Disney

00:06:21.490 --> 00:06:24.029
songs live. We started doing Under the Sea and

00:06:24.029 --> 00:06:25.470
Can't Wait to be King. I think those were the

00:06:25.470 --> 00:06:28.990
first ones we did. And when you're in Europe,

00:06:29.050 --> 00:06:30.769
they're very vocal about things they want there.

00:06:31.449 --> 00:06:33.750
And so when we try and sell a CD, because we'd

00:06:33.750 --> 00:06:36.829
hawk CDs outside after, you know, hustling. And

00:06:36.829 --> 00:06:38.629
they go, is your Disney cover on here? And then

00:06:38.629 --> 00:06:41.509
we go, no. Okay, well then fuck off. Like, oh

00:06:41.509 --> 00:06:44.870
jeez. That was kind of hostile. But that's how

00:06:44.870 --> 00:06:46.089
they talk. They're not really hostile. They're

00:06:46.089 --> 00:06:48.189
very sweet people. And so we said, you know,

00:06:48.209 --> 00:06:50.329
we should maybe record it. And then it got to

00:06:50.329 --> 00:06:52.870
be important. People expected Disney recordings.

00:06:53.050 --> 00:06:55.430
And then it just became our thing. We just got,

00:06:55.509 --> 00:06:57.550
you know, the moniker of being a Disney band.

00:06:57.810 --> 00:06:59.589
And we're okay with that. It's awesome. It's

00:06:59.589 --> 00:07:02.439
a badge of honor. I wear it with pride. Well,

00:07:02.480 --> 00:07:04.680
let's get down to business. Tonight, as I mentioned

00:07:04.680 --> 00:07:07.100
at the top of the show, Brian and I will be curating

00:07:07.100 --> 00:07:09.720
a Songs of Disney mixtape, and we're going to

00:07:09.720 --> 00:07:12.399
use that old cassette deck approach. Brian, as

00:07:12.399 --> 00:07:14.759
my special guest, will begin side A with his

00:07:14.759 --> 00:07:17.319
first song choice, and then I'll add a song that

00:07:17.319 --> 00:07:20.199
I feel best follows up that choice. We'll then

00:07:20.199 --> 00:07:22.399
flip -flop choosing songs until we've mapped

00:07:22.399 --> 00:07:25.639
out 10 songs for side A. We'll then give our

00:07:25.639 --> 00:07:28.279
mixtape a proverbial flip and we'll map out side

00:07:28.279 --> 00:07:30.720
B. Only this time, I'll kick things off with

00:07:30.720 --> 00:07:33.800
Brian choosing second. Our overall goal for this

00:07:33.800 --> 00:07:36.579
episode is to craft the best songs of Disney

00:07:36.579 --> 00:07:40.459
mixtape possible through only 20 songs. At the

00:07:40.459 --> 00:07:41.980
end of the show, you can take our conversation

00:07:41.980 --> 00:07:44.879
to the next level by visiting the episode page

00:07:44.879 --> 00:07:47.920
at myweeklymixtape .com to give our final mixtape

00:07:47.920 --> 00:07:51.220
a listen via the embedded playlist. And finally,

00:07:51.220 --> 00:07:52.579
if you like what you're hearing on the show,

00:07:52.680 --> 00:07:54.579
you can help me out by either telling a friend,

00:07:54.759 --> 00:07:57.139
leaving the show a five -star review wherever

00:07:57.139 --> 00:08:00.420
you're tuning in, or becoming a Patreon mixtaper

00:08:00.420 --> 00:08:04.040

button on our mixtape and the floor is yours.

00:08:09.819 --> 00:08:12.000
Why don't you dive into the song that you're

00:08:12.000 --> 00:08:16.759
choosing to kick off side A? Oh man, I've already

00:08:16.759 --> 00:08:19.000
taken up enough of your time with my... gift

00:08:19.000 --> 00:08:21.060
of gab that i have that's not necessarily a gift

00:08:21.060 --> 00:08:23.680
but a curse uh the first one would be i have

00:08:23.680 --> 00:08:25.519
dumb stories attached to each of them uh friend

00:08:45.240 --> 00:08:48.379
on my arm right there Right next to Groucho Marx.

00:08:49.279 --> 00:08:51.519
I grew up being a big Jerry Lewis fan. And so

00:08:51.519 --> 00:08:55.500
our old manager did a submission and they liked

00:08:55.500 --> 00:08:58.120
us. And Jerry would call me personally. And I'm

00:08:58.120 --> 00:09:02.120
a big fan asking me if we would be free to do

00:09:02.120 --> 00:09:04.580
the telethon. And so we did the telethon. And

00:09:04.580 --> 00:09:07.179
then eventually he hired us to play a private

00:09:07.179 --> 00:09:09.600
party for his daughter's birthday at his house

00:09:09.600 --> 00:09:12.659
in Vegas. And we'd been working on our next Disney

00:09:12.659 --> 00:09:15.879
cover, which was Friend Like Me. which is a song

00:09:15.879 --> 00:09:19.120
that has 35 ,000 parts. It's like 50 songs in

00:09:19.120 --> 00:09:23.059
one. And we worked endlessly on this cover. Endlessly.

00:09:23.779 --> 00:09:26.519
And the only time and the first time that we

00:09:26.519 --> 00:09:28.840
played it was at Jerry Lewis's house for his

00:09:28.840 --> 00:09:32.399
daughter's birthday. So that is the first last

00:09:32.399 --> 00:09:34.639
everything. The only time we've ever played Friend

00:09:34.639 --> 00:09:37.320
Like Me. And it was at Jerry Lewis's house in

00:09:37.320 --> 00:09:39.620
Las Vegas. And I took a poop in his bathroom.

00:09:39.960 --> 00:09:42.059
And I called my parents. I'm like, you're never

00:09:42.059 --> 00:09:44.539
going to guess where I'm at. Yeah. I told you

00:09:44.539 --> 00:09:46.019
about Jerry Lewis. Yeah. I'm in his bathroom

00:09:46.019 --> 00:09:50.820
right now. Should I steal the towels? Well, as

00:09:50.820 --> 00:09:52.940
soon as I heard the words friend like me, the

00:09:52.940 --> 00:09:56.940
first thing I thought was why haven't suburban

00:09:56.940 --> 00:09:59.279
legends covered that song? And now I hear you

00:09:59.279 --> 00:10:02.519
have. So now I'm going to be sitting back waiting.

00:10:03.370 --> 00:10:05.809
for this version to somehow be recorded in the

00:10:05.809 --> 00:10:08.169
studio because it can't just be a one -off the

00:10:08.169 --> 00:10:11.490
song's too amazing it is amazing but i don't

00:10:11.490 --> 00:10:13.669
know if it was amazing when we did it it was

00:10:13.669 --> 00:10:16.129
stressful it was stressful because there's like

00:10:16.129 --> 00:10:19.309
five songs in it but we've been notorious our

00:10:19.309 --> 00:10:21.950
whole if you call it a career or whatever for

00:10:21.950 --> 00:10:25.110
doing songs like that that have 50 million parts

00:10:25.110 --> 00:10:27.909
but if you're a ska band I mean, when you're

00:10:27.909 --> 00:10:29.629
younger and you're writing these songs, you don't

00:10:29.629 --> 00:10:31.710
really know about songwriting. So anything's

00:10:31.710 --> 00:10:33.570
possible, you know, like now that we're older,

00:10:33.669 --> 00:10:35.789
we like, no, you can't do that in a song. But

00:10:35.789 --> 00:10:38.429
if you listen to our first record or rum shake

00:10:38.429 --> 00:10:40.450
or whatever, it's like, you shouldn't be putting

00:10:40.450 --> 00:10:42.929
two times signature and keys and everything together

00:10:42.929 --> 00:10:44.509
like this, but you don't know anything better,

00:10:44.570 --> 00:10:48.009
you know? So, so you just do it and we did it.

00:10:48.070 --> 00:10:50.590
And it was like that. And I think that it might,

00:10:50.629 --> 00:10:53.169
might be laid to rest. I don't know if it was

00:10:53.169 --> 00:10:56.679
amazing, but we got through it. Well, the original

00:10:56.679 --> 00:10:59.559
to me is so big and so theatrical. It's perfect

00:10:59.559 --> 00:11:03.620
for Robin Williams, manic kind of vocal delivery

00:11:03.620 --> 00:11:06.720
as the songs are changing because Robin Williams

00:11:06.720 --> 00:11:08.899
character, he would always change and do different

00:11:08.899 --> 00:11:12.179
voices in his standup. And he brought that to

00:11:12.179 --> 00:11:15.159
the cartoon, which is what I loved so much about

00:11:15.159 --> 00:11:17.279
this song. You definitely scooped me on the pick.

00:11:17.419 --> 00:11:20.039
I had that on my list and I don't know about

00:11:20.039 --> 00:11:22.259
you, but I kind of think the Will Smith version

00:11:22.259 --> 00:11:25.279
of the song from the live action movie was. A

00:11:25.279 --> 00:11:27.299
little hit or miss. I was ready for you to say,

00:11:27.399 --> 00:11:30.320
Will Smith's version is my favorite and fight

00:11:30.320 --> 00:11:34.259
me on that. No, I actually love the hip hop beat

00:11:34.259 --> 00:11:37.120
behind the song because it really suits Will's

00:11:37.120 --> 00:11:39.820
delivery. Yeah, totally. But the original is

00:11:39.820 --> 00:11:43.879
so ingrained in my childhood because of how zany

00:11:43.879 --> 00:11:47.100
Robin Williams was. It was hard for me to hear

00:11:47.100 --> 00:11:49.600
it done a different way because I was like, Will

00:11:49.600 --> 00:11:53.100
Smith was fun, but he didn't have the zany. down

00:11:53.100 --> 00:11:55.860
in that song that it really needed. It was Robin

00:11:55.860 --> 00:11:58.620
Williams' gig. He was born for that. Exactly.

00:11:58.659 --> 00:12:00.500
He was born for that. I mean, I don't think anybody

00:12:00.500 --> 00:12:03.779
else could have done it with that Robin Williams

00:12:03.779 --> 00:12:07.539
like he did. It was meant to be that ADHD, manic,

00:12:07.799 --> 00:12:11.740
frenetic energy, switching voices, references.

00:12:12.139 --> 00:12:13.480
So there was nobody else that could have done

00:12:13.480 --> 00:12:16.220
it. That's in our DNA. And now I'm going to go

00:12:16.220 --> 00:12:18.659
with a song to follow that up. because I had

00:12:18.659 --> 00:12:21.480
in my list under friend like me, why haven't

00:12:21.480 --> 00:12:24.279
suburban legends covered this song? This next

00:12:24.279 --> 00:12:27.500
one falls under that category as well. And maybe

00:12:27.500 --> 00:12:29.399
you have, and maybe I might learn something new

00:12:29.399 --> 00:12:32.299
tonight, but I'm going to go back to 1988 Oliver

00:12:32.299 --> 00:12:36.059
and company. And I'm going to go with a song

00:12:36.059 --> 00:12:39.919
performed by Billy Joel as Dodger. And I'm going

00:12:39.919 --> 00:12:44.240
to go with, why should I worry? Wow. I absolutely

00:12:44.240 --> 00:12:51.289
love this tune and the whole. I hear in horns

00:12:51.289 --> 00:12:53.789
and in my brain, I'm like, I could hear, you

00:12:53.789 --> 00:12:56.230
know, a Scott band doing this. Now I do want

00:12:56.230 --> 00:12:59.529
to point out that the original song that was

00:12:59.529 --> 00:13:02.009
written for Dodger was actually called I'm the

00:13:02.009 --> 00:13:06.049
greatest and was written by Liberty DeVito, longtime

00:13:06.049 --> 00:13:08.570
Billy Joel band drummer. But instead of listening

00:13:08.570 --> 00:13:11.629
to me blabber on about it, go back and listen

00:13:11.629 --> 00:13:14.009
to hear the full story straight from Liberty's

00:13:14.009 --> 00:13:17.549
mouth in episode 15, the ultimate Billy Joel

00:13:17.549 --> 00:13:20.220
playlist, because. There was another song and

00:13:20.220 --> 00:13:22.139
it's still somewhere in the Billy Joel vault

00:13:22.139 --> 00:13:24.840
called I'm the greatest that may have made it

00:13:24.840 --> 00:13:27.919
in this movie, but instead we got one of my favorite

00:13:27.919 --> 00:13:31.759
Disney songs ever. Why should I worry? Oh man,

00:13:31.860 --> 00:13:35.000
that was a good poll. I had a dead set, certain

00:13:35.000 --> 00:13:37.059
songs that I had stories and like, oh, these

00:13:37.059 --> 00:13:39.120
songs are important, you know? And then I was

00:13:39.120 --> 00:13:41.720
on, I was with sit with my five -year -old yesterday,

00:13:41.799 --> 00:13:43.320
the day before flipping through Disney going,

00:13:43.419 --> 00:13:46.220
what other songs? I mean, I know. got ties to

00:13:46.220 --> 00:13:48.080
every single thing, but Oliver and company, I

00:13:48.080 --> 00:13:49.940
don't think is on Disney plus, which it was,

00:13:49.940 --> 00:13:52.559
it wasn't in our queue. I would have totally

00:13:52.559 --> 00:13:54.539
picked something like that. You're absolutely

00:13:54.539 --> 00:13:56.980
right. Can I steal that idea and not give you

00:13:56.980 --> 00:13:58.960
credit? Oh, sure. A hundred percent. As long

00:13:58.960 --> 00:14:01.559
as you allow me to sing some background vocals

00:14:01.559 --> 00:14:04.080
that you guys just mix into the final recording,

00:14:04.200 --> 00:14:06.600
we'll call it even. I'd be upset if you didn't,

00:14:06.600 --> 00:14:10.159
you could just send the tracks. I would be upset

00:14:10.159 --> 00:14:12.220
if you didn't, I will give you that credit. Rock

00:14:12.220 --> 00:14:14.159
and roll. Let's make it happen. And now I'm throwing

00:14:14.159 --> 00:14:17.720
it back to you for track three. All right. Track

00:14:17.720 --> 00:14:21.919
three is Kiss the Girl from Little Mermaid. Suburban

00:14:21.919 --> 00:14:24.519
Legends, obviously, we covered this and we did

00:14:24.519 --> 00:14:27.759
a video. And the way it came about, because I'm

00:14:27.759 --> 00:14:30.259
a massive, massive Little Mermaid fan. I remember

00:14:30.259 --> 00:14:32.259
I always loved this song and I always thought,

00:14:32.320 --> 00:14:34.100
God, it'd be great if Suburban Legends did it.

00:14:34.340 --> 00:14:37.100
But I don't normally want to sing this song.

00:14:37.159 --> 00:14:38.659
I don't really care about that because I'm not

00:14:38.659 --> 00:14:41.000
the lead singer. But this is one I wanted to

00:14:41.000 --> 00:14:43.480
sing because for some reason I just I in my man

00:14:43.480 --> 00:14:46.659
cave, I have a whole bookcase full of Little

00:14:46.659 --> 00:14:50.019
Mermaid stuff. And Ursula is my favorite Disney

00:14:50.019 --> 00:14:52.820
villain. And it's kind of an obscure one. So

00:14:52.820 --> 00:14:54.320
it's hard to find things by her. But I have a

00:14:54.320 --> 00:14:57.039
whole bookcase full of it. And I even have the

00:14:57.039 --> 00:14:59.320
original Little Mermaid Marvel comics when they

00:14:59.320 --> 00:15:02.039
came out because I'm a massive comic. And so

00:15:02.039 --> 00:15:04.320
I remember once we were playing in Disneyland,

00:15:04.519 --> 00:15:07.690
Tomorrowland Terrace. And. I thought in my head,

00:15:07.730 --> 00:15:09.070
you know what? I'm really going to mess with

00:15:09.070 --> 00:15:11.330
the guys. Because Vince and I, the singer in

00:15:11.330 --> 00:15:12.909
Suburban Legends, we go back and forth. We do

00:15:12.909 --> 00:15:15.990
banter all the time, tell jokes and stuff. And

00:15:15.990 --> 00:15:17.649
Vince will always look to me when he doesn't

00:15:17.649 --> 00:15:20.230
know quite what to say on stage and go, all right,

00:15:20.230 --> 00:15:23.529
Brian, what do you got to say? And then I went

00:15:23.529 --> 00:15:27.289
into it just for fun and I guess to see what

00:15:27.289 --> 00:15:29.649
the rest of the band did. And they kicked in.

00:15:29.850 --> 00:15:31.629
And we played a little bit of Kiss the Girl.

00:15:31.960 --> 00:15:34.740
And at that point, I'm like, oh, it's like I'm

00:15:34.740 --> 00:15:38.539
going to get to do the song. It kind of worked

00:15:38.539 --> 00:15:40.159
and everybody was singing and it worked out.

00:15:40.559 --> 00:15:44.059
And for me, you know, I have a really big tie

00:15:44.059 --> 00:15:46.740
to The Little Mermaid because like we talked

00:15:46.740 --> 00:15:48.519
about earlier, you know, you and I are roughly

00:15:48.519 --> 00:15:51.139
around the same age. And that when that movie

00:15:51.139 --> 00:15:54.220
hit, it was so freaking huge. And I was in the

00:15:54.220 --> 00:15:57.519
YMCA and I remember, yeah, I was a product of

00:15:57.519 --> 00:16:00.100
the YMCA. Big time after school, summer school,

00:16:00.220 --> 00:16:02.950
summer camp, everything. And I remember that

00:16:02.950 --> 00:16:04.769
during that summer camp, when that came out on

00:16:04.769 --> 00:16:07.889
video, that big puffy DHS, you know, the clamshell.

00:16:07.889 --> 00:16:11.309
Yep. And it had the wiener on the cover. You

00:16:11.309 --> 00:16:16.250
remember that? I still have that. But there was,

00:16:16.250 --> 00:16:19.309
there was one room at the summer camp that had

00:16:19.309 --> 00:16:21.690
the little mermaid playing the whole time you

00:16:21.690 --> 00:16:24.210
were there all the time. And then when it was

00:16:24.210 --> 00:16:26.190
nap time, guess what's playing in the nap time

00:16:26.190 --> 00:16:29.200
room, little mermaid all the time. And so, you

00:16:29.200 --> 00:16:31.220
know, everything, just a lot of it goes literally

00:16:31.220 --> 00:16:34.039
make my favorite. That's it. Well, I love your

00:16:34.039 --> 00:16:36.360
guys' version of it. Obviously that was on my

00:16:36.360 --> 00:16:39.639
short list as well. So great song, great movie.

00:16:39.820 --> 00:16:42.879
And yes, I had the clamshell VHS tape as well.

00:16:43.000 --> 00:16:44.559
Cause that's what all the movies, cause they

00:16:44.559 --> 00:16:46.879
went into the vault. So you had a finite amount

00:16:46.879 --> 00:16:48.700
of time that you could buy it or else it went

00:16:48.700 --> 00:16:51.220
away. That's right. It wasn't on DVD forever.

00:16:51.379 --> 00:16:54.120
And then I remember we were on tour when it came

00:16:54.120 --> 00:16:56.620
out on DVD and I was so adamant, like I got to

00:16:56.620 --> 00:16:59.899
get two. Because I got to be able to open one

00:16:59.899 --> 00:17:02.600
and watch it. And the other, I got a sage. That

00:17:02.600 --> 00:17:05.740
was stupid because they just mass produced it.

00:17:05.900 --> 00:17:09.539
I still have one somewhere around here in the

00:17:09.539 --> 00:17:12.680
package, but wait, hold on. There's more. So

00:17:12.680 --> 00:17:13.940
I don't know if you remember back in the day

00:17:13.940 --> 00:17:17.119
when you'd order movies at the Disney shop in

00:17:17.119 --> 00:17:19.980
the mall. Yes. And then you'd get a watch and

00:17:19.980 --> 00:17:23.359
a lithograph and stuff. I just so happened to

00:17:23.359 --> 00:17:26.519
have, this is purely just accident. But I have

00:17:26.519 --> 00:17:28.720
the lithographs right here from the VHS from

00:17:28.720 --> 00:17:34.519
90 -whatever when it came out on VHS. Wow. What

00:17:34.519 --> 00:17:38.619
are the odds of just having it right here? Well,

00:17:38.740 --> 00:17:43.240
I am going to follow that up with a song from

00:17:43.240 --> 00:17:46.579
my wife's favorite. Disney movie of all time,

00:17:46.740 --> 00:17:48.779
something that we had a chance to see together

00:17:48.779 --> 00:17:51.460
on Broadway. And I had a chance to take her to

00:17:51.460 --> 00:17:54.259
see the original film with our girls, with the

00:17:54.259 --> 00:17:57.039
symphony playing the music from the movie as

00:17:57.039 --> 00:17:59.039
the movie played. And I'm going to go back to

00:17:59.039 --> 00:18:04.400
1964's Mary Poppins performed by Dick Van Dyke

00:18:04.400 --> 00:18:08.279
as Bert, the chimney sweep step in time. Whoa.

00:18:09.599 --> 00:18:12.180
I didn't see that one coming. Good one. Big.

00:18:12.920 --> 00:18:15.779
Broadway -like production. And there's a separate

00:18:15.779 --> 00:18:18.460
reason why I went with this one as well. Back

00:18:18.460 --> 00:18:20.500
in the 80s when I was growing up, Disney would

00:18:20.500 --> 00:18:24.180
put out record albums. Yes, I have some! Oh,

00:18:24.180 --> 00:18:28.740
snap! Dude! So you remember Mousercise? Dude,

00:18:28.740 --> 00:18:31.279
I watched it every freaking morning! When they

00:18:31.279 --> 00:18:33.140
had the exercise outfits and right after that

00:18:33.140 --> 00:18:35.619
was Winnie the Pooh. When they had the giant

00:18:35.619 --> 00:18:38.240
costumes. Yup, it was called Welcome to Pooh

00:18:38.240 --> 00:18:40.839
Corner. Wow, I can't believe you said Mousercise.

00:18:41.380 --> 00:18:43.519
Yeah. And they would have Mickey come in and

00:18:43.519 --> 00:18:45.180
dance with them when they were doing the exercises

00:18:45.180 --> 00:18:49.140
and the spandex. Wow. Thank you for bringing

00:18:49.140 --> 00:18:52.039
that up. Oh, of course. And with that, the floor

00:18:52.039 --> 00:18:55.059
is yours for your next pick. Okay, so I did.

00:18:55.579 --> 00:18:57.799
This is Halloween. Nightmare Before Christmas.

00:18:58.220 --> 00:19:02.140
Nice. The reason is, I mean, we have a lot of

00:19:02.140 --> 00:19:04.519
ties to Danny Elfman. Not a lot of ties, but

00:19:04.519 --> 00:19:06.740
I mean, our first record, Rump Shaker. For anybody

00:19:06.740 --> 00:19:08.440
who's never doesn't know who we are. We had an

00:19:08.440 --> 00:19:10.220
album called Rump Shaker that came out like 2002

00:19:10.220 --> 00:19:12.359
or three or four or five or six or something.

00:19:12.859 --> 00:19:14.920
And it was produced by the bass player of Oingo

00:19:14.920 --> 00:19:17.440
Boingo. I was always a big Oingo Boingo fan.

00:19:17.579 --> 00:19:20.740
I went to the farewell tour for Oingo Boingo

00:19:20.740 --> 00:19:26.039
in 95 or four. And I still have the t -shirt

00:19:26.039 --> 00:19:27.880
in that drawer right over there. I'm pointing

00:19:27.880 --> 00:19:30.339
to it like you could see it, but that I bought

00:19:30.339 --> 00:19:32.039
in the parking lot. That's it. The bottom of

00:19:32.039 --> 00:19:34.190
my drawer sensed it. I've never gotten rid of

00:19:34.190 --> 00:19:35.950
it. It's $5. I used to wear it when I was in

00:19:35.950 --> 00:19:39.849
middle school. It still fits me now. So the bass

00:19:39.849 --> 00:19:43.089
player Boingo produced that record, and I was

00:19:43.089 --> 00:19:44.609
obsessed with Nightmare Before Christmas when

00:19:44.609 --> 00:19:47.630
it came out before it was a Hot Topic thing.

00:19:49.029 --> 00:19:51.710
But the real kicker was when my son got into

00:19:51.710 --> 00:19:55.250
it. My son, he's five now, and I think he started

00:19:55.250 --> 00:19:57.490
watching it at three or four. But the thing is...

00:19:57.920 --> 00:19:59.660
You know, the kid can't remember what I told

00:19:59.660 --> 00:20:01.859
him to do five minutes ago, but in the span of

00:20:01.859 --> 00:20:04.079
an hour, he memorized all the lyrics just by

00:20:04.079 --> 00:20:07.240
watching the movie, not rewinding it, knowing

00:20:07.240 --> 00:20:09.460
the words to that song. I don't know anybody

00:20:09.460 --> 00:20:11.160
who knows the words to that song. They know.

00:20:12.200 --> 00:20:17.819
And then that's it. But I could bring him in

00:20:17.819 --> 00:20:20.819
here and go, don't you want to see something

00:20:20.819 --> 00:20:23.619
strange? So for some reason, that's just so special

00:20:23.619 --> 00:20:26.599
to me now because. That kid is like a fricking

00:20:26.599 --> 00:20:28.700
sponge and he just absorbed it. And I was just

00:20:28.700 --> 00:20:31.599
so full of pride when I heard him sing it. And

00:20:31.599 --> 00:20:34.720
we'd go to the doctor's office for my wife or

00:20:34.720 --> 00:20:37.839
I, and he would just start singing it. He would

00:20:37.839 --> 00:20:39.539
just, he's so proud that he learned the lyrics

00:20:39.539 --> 00:20:42.839
and he, everywhere we went for weeks, he would

00:20:42.839 --> 00:20:44.420
just start singing it. All I have to do in the

00:20:44.420 --> 00:20:46.839
car when I'm driving. And then he would stop

00:20:46.839 --> 00:20:51.359
me and go, dad, no, it's this. Whoa, you're already

00:20:51.359 --> 00:20:55.519
a teenager. but uh yeah and so that's that's

00:20:55.519 --> 00:20:57.660
why i picked that because it's just for some

00:20:57.660 --> 00:20:59.960
reason i just have so much more of a fondness

00:20:59.960 --> 00:21:03.140
a new fondness for that movie i mean i loved

00:21:03.140 --> 00:21:05.519
it back then but now i love it for a once we

00:21:05.519 --> 00:21:08.220
become adults and we become fathers and wives

00:21:08.220 --> 00:21:10.819
and mothers and stuff we like things for different

00:21:10.819 --> 00:21:14.099
reasons and that just brought a whole new touch

00:21:14.099 --> 00:21:16.039
to my heart because after a while i was kind

00:21:16.039 --> 00:21:18.599
of sick of it when i saw that it was everywhere

00:21:18.599 --> 00:21:22.230
it's like Check out my Aquaphor spread cream

00:21:22.230 --> 00:21:25.569
with Jack Skellington on it. Oh, look, it's my

00:21:25.569 --> 00:21:27.710
tools that have Jack Skellington on it. It was

00:21:27.710 --> 00:21:29.490
just everywhere. It just kind of takes away from

00:21:29.490 --> 00:21:33.049
the. Oh, but it was also a good movie before

00:21:33.049 --> 00:21:35.250
it was a backpack. It was a great movie. That

00:21:35.250 --> 00:21:38.250
stop animation was amazing. Yeah, it was. It

00:21:38.250 --> 00:21:40.009
was pretty incredible. And that was revolutionary

00:21:40.009 --> 00:21:43.150
to love the movie. Love the pick again. That's

00:21:43.150 --> 00:21:45.529
like that was iconic. That animation that happened

00:21:45.529 --> 00:21:48.539
at that point. And I feel like the movie. at

00:21:48.539 --> 00:21:52.859
the time was popular, but I feel like it has

00:21:52.859 --> 00:21:56.920
exploded over the decades to reach levels that

00:21:56.920 --> 00:21:59.559
I never remember when the movie was actually

00:21:59.559 --> 00:22:03.380
first out. Cause it, it wasn't there. It was,

00:22:03.380 --> 00:22:05.720
we was a different time when it wasn't, when

00:22:05.720 --> 00:22:09.299
older kids weren't celebrating younger kids things.

00:22:09.720 --> 00:22:12.079
And that was seen as a younger kids thing. And

00:22:12.079 --> 00:22:15.440
so that was just, it was reserved for that. And

00:22:15.440 --> 00:22:18.690
the select older kids. that like that kind of

00:22:18.690 --> 00:22:20.569
thing, but you didn't talk about that because

00:22:20.569 --> 00:22:22.809
it wasn't cool. And now it's like, oh, I'm a

00:22:22.809 --> 00:22:24.890
nerd. I like Disney. It's like, no, you're not

00:22:24.890 --> 00:22:27.490
a nerd. You just like Disney. It's fine. It's

00:22:27.490 --> 00:22:30.970
okay. All right. Well, following that up, I think

00:22:30.970 --> 00:22:33.470
we need to go with a problem -free philosophy.

00:22:33.809 --> 00:22:38.009
Oh, snap. And go back to 1994's The Lion King

00:22:38.009 --> 00:22:41.730
and go with Hakuna Matata written by Elton John

00:22:41.730 --> 00:22:45.150
with lyrics by Tim Rice, performed by Nathan

00:22:45.150 --> 00:22:48.730
Lane as Timon the Meerkat and Ernie Sabella as

00:22:48.730 --> 00:22:52.750
Pumbaa the Warthog. I mean, this song is so much

00:22:52.750 --> 00:22:56.049
fun. When I think of The Lion King, I immediately

00:22:56.049 --> 00:22:59.119
go to this song. Probably because of the fact

00:22:59.119 --> 00:23:01.160
that Ed doesn't have a song because Ed was always

00:23:01.160 --> 00:23:03.319
my favorite character in The Lion King, but he

00:23:03.319 --> 00:23:05.839
never had a song. He needs a song. Wait, Ed?

00:23:06.339 --> 00:23:08.920
Yeah, Ed. Wait, wait, wait. Teacher, I have a...

00:23:08.920 --> 00:23:12.539
Wait, who's Ed? He was the male hyena. Oh, okay.

00:23:12.559 --> 00:23:15.259
With Whoopi Goldberg. Okay. It's been a minute.

00:23:15.279 --> 00:23:18.039
Yeah. I wouldn't prefer Whoopi Goldberg. I want

00:23:18.039 --> 00:23:19.539
to hear what Whoopi Goldberg's song would be.

00:23:20.799 --> 00:23:29.170
I am the hyena. I'm the responsible one. I mean,

00:23:29.190 --> 00:23:31.769
of course, if that was the song, it would beat

00:23:31.769 --> 00:23:34.089
out Hakuna Matata, but unfortunately it didn't

00:23:34.089 --> 00:23:36.730
make the final track list. So for the ones that

00:23:36.730 --> 00:23:39.970
did, Hakuna Matata is just one of those songs.

00:23:40.170 --> 00:23:43.650
Nathan Lane is so good at his delivery and so

00:23:43.650 --> 00:23:47.109
good on Broadway, and he brings it to this performance

00:23:47.109 --> 00:23:52.109
in the cartoon. And in an otherwise very, you

00:23:52.109 --> 00:23:54.069
know, emotional film throughout, this was a moment

00:23:54.069 --> 00:23:57.150
of levity. And I know that you guys covered a

00:23:57.150 --> 00:24:00.210
song from the soundtrack as well for your 2012

00:24:00.210 --> 00:24:02.690
album day job. And I apologize for not picking

00:24:02.690 --> 00:24:05.509
that one because I love that song too, but it's

00:24:05.509 --> 00:24:08.529
okay. Kuda Matana just edged it out ever so slightly.

00:24:08.730 --> 00:24:11.509
I have a feeling that may pop up later. So I

00:24:11.509 --> 00:24:14.029
think it's okay. Awesome. So then we're back

00:24:14.029 --> 00:24:18.059
to you for track seven. I will go back to Tangled.

00:24:18.119 --> 00:24:22.059
When will my life begin? Ooh, okay. The reason

00:24:22.059 --> 00:24:25.799
once everything's family and band these days

00:24:25.799 --> 00:24:28.480
and life, it's tied to life, which is what music

00:24:28.480 --> 00:24:31.259
ties us to. When will my life begin? I just,

00:24:31.339 --> 00:24:33.819
okay. So a lot of these things I became really,

00:24:33.880 --> 00:24:36.960
really attached to during COVID because we were,

00:24:37.059 --> 00:24:39.059
I mean, I loved all these movies and everything

00:24:39.059 --> 00:24:41.700
and who doesn't love Mandy Moore? And I love

00:24:41.700 --> 00:24:43.759
Mandy Moore even more because she was married

00:24:43.759 --> 00:24:45.660
to Ryan Adams. I don't know if you know who Ryan

00:24:45.660 --> 00:24:48.480
Adams is. You certainly do. Yeah. And I love

00:24:48.480 --> 00:24:51.539
him. But my family started having, we started

00:24:51.539 --> 00:24:55.099
culminating these inside jokes. And, you know,

00:24:55.119 --> 00:24:58.259
when you're quarantined, we watched certain movies

00:24:58.259 --> 00:25:01.660
more than once and we'd quote them. And the quotes

00:25:01.660 --> 00:25:04.160
would manifest into some dirty, inappropriate

00:25:04.160 --> 00:25:07.740
thing to each other. That's funny to us. And

00:25:07.740 --> 00:25:10.019
if anybody else watched it, it would be stupid.

00:25:10.740 --> 00:25:15.059
but my fiance sent me a video of somebody filming

00:25:15.059 --> 00:25:18.259
a montage with their dog. And I think it was

00:25:18.259 --> 00:25:20.099
a box or something. I don't know. I'm sure someone

00:25:20.099 --> 00:25:22.619
on the internet will correct me. And it was to

00:25:22.619 --> 00:25:26.339
this song, but the words were changed to a dog's

00:25:26.339 --> 00:25:30.160
day. And he'd be like, so I'll wake up now. Then

00:25:30.160 --> 00:25:34.220
I'll eat my food. I'll poop in the yard and lay

00:25:34.220 --> 00:25:37.960
some more. They'll lick my butt. And I'll lick

00:25:37.960 --> 00:25:41.440
some more. And I wonder, will I ever get to eat

00:25:41.440 --> 00:25:48.099
again? And I wonder, will I eat again? And we

00:25:48.099 --> 00:25:50.720
just sang it so much. And it was just so funny.

00:25:50.799 --> 00:25:53.579
And I was just in there with my lady before this

00:25:53.579 --> 00:25:55.940
with my son. And I was singing it to them. She

00:25:55.940 --> 00:25:58.779
goes, babe, that's a good idea. I said, I know.

00:25:58.839 --> 00:26:02.460
That's why I picked it. So that's why I picked

00:26:02.460 --> 00:26:05.109
it. Great song. That whole soundtrack is fantastic

00:26:05.109 --> 00:26:08.390
between Donna Murphy's Mother Knows Best. Yes.

00:26:08.589 --> 00:26:10.710
And at the end, Grace Potter, who's one of my

00:26:10.710 --> 00:26:13.329
favorite female vocalists. She has something

00:26:13.329 --> 00:26:15.829
that I want on that soundtrack. That's just an

00:26:15.829 --> 00:26:18.430
amazing soundtrack all around. Aren't you going

00:26:18.430 --> 00:26:22.269
to say anything about the contributions of America's

00:26:22.269 --> 00:26:24.710
sweetheart, Mandy Moore? Of course. Mandy Moore

00:26:24.710 --> 00:26:28.289
is absolutely incredible. I love her voice. And

00:26:28.289 --> 00:26:30.579
she's wonderful. I think I'm going to follow

00:26:30.579 --> 00:26:33.140
that up with another female voice that's ingrained

00:26:33.140 --> 00:26:39.180
in my DNA because I have two daughters, one that

00:26:39.180 --> 00:26:41.619
is in high school and one that is in middle school.

00:26:41.759 --> 00:26:44.339
You're a brave man. I'm not going to argue that.

00:26:44.480 --> 00:26:50.339
But if you do the math, in 2013, I heard the

00:26:50.339 --> 00:26:54.359
song Let It Go by Idina Menzel as Queen Elsa.

00:26:55.119 --> 00:26:58.759
about 5 million times. And as soon as my oldest

00:26:58.759 --> 00:27:02.680
finally outgrew Let It Go, my youngest daughter

00:27:02.680 --> 00:27:06.180
came right in and got another four years. So

00:27:06.180 --> 00:27:09.339
I have had an eight -year run of hearing Let

00:27:09.339 --> 00:27:12.920
It Go. And I'll just say it, the song never got

00:27:12.920 --> 00:27:16.019
old to me. It's a good song. Look. Every Disney

00:27:16.019 --> 00:27:19.059
movie has its big musical moment, and Frozen

00:27:19.059 --> 00:27:22.779
has a ton of fantastic songs. But let's be honest,

00:27:23.039 --> 00:27:27.380
Let It Go is that movie's big musical moment.

00:27:28.019 --> 00:27:30.579
Newfound Glory does a great punk cover of it,

00:27:30.599 --> 00:27:33.200
so it does kind of creep out into the punk world.

00:27:33.319 --> 00:27:35.279
But with two girls, how can I not pick it? I

00:27:35.279 --> 00:27:39.240
wish you were wrong. I wish you were wrong, but

00:27:39.240 --> 00:27:41.900
you're not. Sometimes when that song comes up,

00:27:42.000 --> 00:27:45.640
it's like a... oh god my lady's gonna kill me

00:27:45.640 --> 00:27:47.480
because she's a big house music fan house head

00:27:47.480 --> 00:27:50.700
but you know when the drop comes it's like let

00:27:50.700 --> 00:27:54.559
it go let it go it's like you're waiting for

00:27:54.559 --> 00:27:57.160
that drop for the key change like give me the

00:27:57.160 --> 00:28:02.220
key change that's it you know it's a good song

00:28:02.220 --> 00:28:05.700
it's a great song i think we talked about covering

00:28:05.700 --> 00:28:08.329
it but i shouldn't mention that hint hint nudge

00:28:08.329 --> 00:28:10.710
nudge i guess we'll have to just wait and find

00:28:10.710 --> 00:28:14.210
out but with that we are at track nine your last

00:28:14.210 --> 00:28:17.829
song for side a what do you got all right let's

00:28:17.829 --> 00:28:24.250
see what we got let's do oh yes beauty and the

00:28:24.250 --> 00:28:29.029
beast the ballad we recorded it too and it's

00:28:29.029 --> 00:28:31.549
not because we recorded it this came along the

00:28:31.549 --> 00:28:34.200
time when we were doing downtown disney and it's

00:28:34.200 --> 00:28:35.799
like right when we were in the midst it must

00:28:35.799 --> 00:28:37.819
have been i think it was before our even our

00:28:37.819 --> 00:28:40.579
first record came out or no yeah it was before

00:28:40.579 --> 00:28:42.619
because we used footage of this one show that

00:28:42.619 --> 00:28:45.779
i'm about to talk about for our video of a song

00:28:45.779 --> 00:28:48.599
called high fives you know the ballad tale is

00:28:48.599 --> 00:28:51.539
all this time god it's such a good freaking song

00:28:51.539 --> 00:28:54.480
and it hits you and all the lyrics hit you in

00:28:54.480 --> 00:28:56.500
all those little holes that need to be filled

00:28:56.500 --> 00:28:59.680
and like god why is this so good and why can't

00:28:59.680 --> 00:29:03.380
i write a song like this but also we were doing

00:29:03.720 --> 00:29:05.799
Downtown Disney so much. And at this point, the

00:29:05.799 --> 00:29:09.799
angels were in the world series or the playoffs

00:29:09.799 --> 00:29:11.940
for the world series. And I guess it was a big

00:29:11.940 --> 00:29:14.400
deal. They hadn't done it in a long time or ever.

00:29:14.480 --> 00:29:16.920
I don't know. So downtown Disney started getting

00:29:16.920 --> 00:29:18.819
a little bit more popular because they put a

00:29:18.819 --> 00:29:22.279
stage out there with a TV. So people could watch

00:29:22.279 --> 00:29:25.839
the games out there. And then all of a sudden

00:29:25.839 --> 00:29:28.700
they were in the playoffs and they wanted to

00:29:28.700 --> 00:29:31.359
do a pep rally for the angels. And my best friend,

00:29:31.440 --> 00:29:37.440
Dave. I did it for you. There you go. He back

00:29:37.440 --> 00:29:39.140
then it was, it was like before people could

00:29:39.140 --> 00:29:42.420
put DVD players in their car and he got one in

00:29:42.420 --> 00:29:44.380
his car and it was awesome. But that's right

00:29:44.380 --> 00:29:47.539
when the beauty and the beast DVD came out. So

00:29:47.539 --> 00:29:50.039
we were watching it all the time. Cause I was

00:29:50.039 --> 00:29:53.480
driving to Disney every single day to play. And

00:29:53.480 --> 00:29:56.400
he and I would carpool because he was best friends

00:29:56.400 --> 00:29:59.859
with the band. He was even got naked on. mtv

00:29:59.859 --> 00:30:01.980
during that show dismissed wearing our shirts

00:30:01.980 --> 00:30:05.619
and singing he even sang a song called desperate

00:30:05.619 --> 00:30:08.420
that i wrote and they'd play our music all over

00:30:08.420 --> 00:30:12.119
it but uh so we would watch that movie non -stop

00:30:12.119 --> 00:30:16.259
and for some reason we okay so disney set up

00:30:16.259 --> 00:30:19.140
this massive like it was like a stadium side

00:30:19.140 --> 00:30:21.660
stage 40 foot jumbotron i'm exaggerating but

00:30:21.660 --> 00:30:23.259
it may not have been 40 foot but it was like

00:30:23.259 --> 00:30:26.319
at least 20 foot jumbotron on this massive stage

00:30:26.319 --> 00:30:27.900
they're going to hold a pep rally for the angels

00:30:28.349 --> 00:30:31.130
And rumor has it that Queen was supposed to play,

00:30:31.230 --> 00:30:35.569
I think, with Paul Rogers singing. And we were

00:30:35.569 --> 00:30:37.049
going to play and then they were going to play

00:30:37.049 --> 00:30:38.990
and then the angels were going to come up and

00:30:38.990 --> 00:30:42.970
do their little ceremony. But Queen ended up

00:30:42.970 --> 00:30:45.049
getting a star on the Walk of Fame. Legend has

00:30:45.049 --> 00:30:47.829
it that day. So they didn't. So we ended up opening

00:30:47.829 --> 00:30:50.789
for ourselves in front of 10 to 15 ,000 people

00:30:50.789 --> 00:30:53.849
on this massive stage. And we're all like 20.

00:30:54.349 --> 00:30:59.259
And we have like maybe 12 songs. We didn't have

00:30:59.259 --> 00:31:01.720
enough material. We finished our first album

00:31:01.720 --> 00:31:05.259
when we were in the studio. So repeating a lot

00:31:05.259 --> 00:31:07.240
of songs and they wanted us to play two like

00:31:07.240 --> 00:31:12.779
hour and a half sets. Yeah, it was bad. I mean,

00:31:12.779 --> 00:31:14.400
it wasn't bad. It was awesome. I mean, it was

00:31:14.400 --> 00:31:16.500
really cool. And I even brought my old man up

00:31:16.500 --> 00:31:18.599
on stage and he was wearing his cargo shorts

00:31:18.599 --> 00:31:20.779
and his Birkenstocks and I made him dance in

00:31:20.779 --> 00:31:23.140
front of 15 ,000 people. It was awesome. And

00:31:23.140 --> 00:31:26.180
we even used footage from that show for our...

00:31:26.559 --> 00:31:30.240
We had a song called High Fives. And the footage

00:31:30.240 --> 00:31:32.640
from that is in there. So for some reason, when

00:31:32.640 --> 00:31:35.660
I think about that, I think of that song. And

00:31:35.660 --> 00:31:38.700
not my band's version, but just the version from

00:31:38.700 --> 00:31:42.099
the movie. And just fond memories of that. It

00:31:42.099 --> 00:31:44.539
was cool. I'd never played in front of that many

00:31:44.539 --> 00:31:46.920
people in my life. And I was so nervous and scared

00:31:46.920 --> 00:31:48.920
I was going to break a string that I couldn't

00:31:48.920 --> 00:31:52.140
enjoy the moment. Well, that is an awesome song.

00:31:52.279 --> 00:31:55.000
I took my wife to see that on Broadway. It's

00:31:55.000 --> 00:31:57.099
a such it's again, it's a big, beautiful song.

00:31:57.180 --> 00:32:00.099
I love the version that Suburban Legends does

00:32:00.099 --> 00:32:03.000
on Dreams Aren't Real. But these songs are that

00:32:03.000 --> 00:32:06.920
came out back in 2013. Such a funny P. I'll make

00:32:06.920 --> 00:32:09.920
sure that I embed both the songs that we're talking

00:32:09.920 --> 00:32:12.740
about from Disney tonight, as well as a separate

00:32:12.740 --> 00:32:16.240
Suburban Legends playlist for you to check out

00:32:16.240 --> 00:32:19.619
on the episode page at myweeklymixtape .com.

00:32:19.819 --> 00:32:23.339
But now talking about these last few songs, which

00:32:23.339 --> 00:32:25.859
is essentially back -to -back massive Disney

00:32:25.859 --> 00:32:30.440
ballads. So now I have to close out side A. Okay.

00:32:30.460 --> 00:32:33.279
And I'm going to do so with a little bit of a

00:32:33.279 --> 00:32:36.720
loophole. But because it's my show, I can make

00:32:36.720 --> 00:32:39.319
up the rules as I go along. Because YOLO, right?

00:32:39.480 --> 00:32:42.559
Yeah, exactly. I am going to go with a song that

00:32:42.559 --> 00:32:47.559
came out in 2011's The Muppets. But if I'm being

00:32:47.559 --> 00:32:50.839
honest, I'm going back to 1979's The Muppet Movie,

00:32:50.980 --> 00:32:52.859
which was not a Disney movie, even though they

00:32:52.859 --> 00:32:56.180
own it now. Written by Paul Williams and made

00:32:56.180 --> 00:32:58.880
perfect by Kermit the Frog. It's my absolute

00:32:58.880 --> 00:33:03.319
favorite song ever recorded. I danced with my

00:33:03.319 --> 00:33:05.539
mom to this song when I was two and three years

00:33:05.539 --> 00:33:08.140
old. Oh, you're going to make me cry. Come on.

00:33:08.259 --> 00:33:11.779
I danced with my mom to this song the day I got

00:33:11.779 --> 00:33:14.279
married. I'm going to call my mom. My mom's in

00:33:14.279 --> 00:33:16.019
her 70s. I'm going to go dance with her to this

00:33:16.019 --> 00:33:19.859
song. I danced with both of my girls to this

00:33:19.859 --> 00:33:22.500
song when they were two and three. And one day,

00:33:22.640 --> 00:33:25.500
maybe I will dance with both of them when they

00:33:25.500 --> 00:33:29.319
get married. I am going with Rainbow Connection.

00:33:30.169 --> 00:33:33.630
because it is the just most beautiful song ever.

00:33:34.069 --> 00:33:36.369
Me First and the Gimme Gimmes does a fun cover

00:33:36.369 --> 00:33:38.710
of it, and Rivers Cuomo and Hayley Williams of

00:33:38.710 --> 00:33:41.230
Paramore do a good version, but nothing tops

00:33:41.230 --> 00:33:43.730
Kermit the Frog. What is Brian's version? I don't

00:33:43.730 --> 00:33:45.829
know if I would ever perform that, because I

00:33:45.829 --> 00:33:47.130
don't know if I'd be able to make it through

00:33:47.130 --> 00:33:48.630
without getting a lump in my throat. Except for

00:33:48.630 --> 00:33:52.140
right now. Oh, you're going to start, you're

00:33:52.140 --> 00:33:53.619
going to get, you're going to get misty eyed.

00:33:53.619 --> 00:33:55.440
If I tried to sing it right now, a hundred percent.

00:33:55.519 --> 00:33:57.539
Yeah, definitely. Isn't it crazy when you, before

00:33:57.539 --> 00:34:00.119
you have kids, you like Disney for one reason

00:34:00.119 --> 00:34:02.720
and then you have kids and then it's just a whole,

00:34:02.839 --> 00:34:05.039
like everything doesn't matter anymore. And all

00:34:05.039 --> 00:34:07.480
that matters is these little moments with your

00:34:07.480 --> 00:34:10.539
kids and enjoying these Disney songs and movies

00:34:10.539 --> 00:34:12.719
all over again for a different reason. Oh, I

00:34:12.719 --> 00:34:16.809
could not agree more with that one. 100%. And

00:34:16.809 --> 00:34:19.110
while we're on the topic of my favorite song

00:34:19.110 --> 00:34:22.070
of all time, I do have to point out that thanks

00:34:22.070 --> 00:34:25.190
to Record Store Day, they re -released one of

00:34:25.190 --> 00:34:28.170
the years, the Muppet movie, the original soundtrack.

00:34:28.880 --> 00:34:31.320
My friend Chris, the keyboard player from Colburn

00:34:31.320 --> 00:34:33.840
and Company, was kind enough to find a copy for

00:34:33.840 --> 00:34:37.380
me on record store day. So he got it for me.

00:34:37.420 --> 00:34:42.420
And now I have a sealed vinyl copy of the Muppet

00:34:42.420 --> 00:34:44.760
movie soundtrack that I can give to my daughter

00:34:44.760 --> 00:34:49.340
on her wedding day. Good job, Brian. But then

00:34:49.340 --> 00:34:53.179
we had another daughter. And with that came the

00:34:53.179 --> 00:34:56.059
thought. Oh, crap. Now I need to find another

00:34:56.059 --> 00:34:59.800
copy. And my cousin, thank you. Thank you. Thank

00:34:59.800 --> 00:35:01.960
you. Was at a record show out in Pennsylvania.

00:35:02.889 --> 00:35:07.570
And he found me a sealed original 1979 copy.

00:35:08.010 --> 00:35:10.989
No way. So I have both of them covered. You're

00:35:10.989 --> 00:35:12.929
winning as a dad. And you have to understand,

00:35:13.010 --> 00:35:15.869
I'm taking a big chance right now, gambling on

00:35:15.869 --> 00:35:18.710
the fact that chances are pretty solid that my

00:35:18.710 --> 00:35:21.769
kids don't listen to this podcast. But if they

00:35:21.769 --> 00:35:25.449
do, I'm so sorry, honey. I may have just spoiled

00:35:25.449 --> 00:35:30.510
one of your wedding day presents. wow good job

00:35:30.510 --> 00:35:33.110

this mix through the playlist embedded on the

00:36:31.340 --> 00:36:34.949
episode page. Now, Brian, while we have you here,

00:36:35.090 --> 00:36:37.590
I was thinking we've been talking about Suburban

00:36:37.590 --> 00:36:40.090
Legends Disney Connection tonight a lot, but

00:36:40.090 --> 00:36:43.130
not about the band's original ska punk tunes.

00:36:43.269 --> 00:36:45.809
So I want to remedy that for a second. Before

00:36:45.809 --> 00:36:48.210
we started recording tonight's episode, I put

00:36:48.210 --> 00:36:51.710
together a list of five songs that I feel best

00:36:51.710 --> 00:36:55.070
define Suburban Legend's musical legacy. And

00:36:55.070 --> 00:36:57.449
so now what I'd like to do is ask you the question,

00:36:57.670 --> 00:37:01.989
what five songs do you feel best define Suburban

00:37:01.989 --> 00:37:05.050
Legend's musical legacy so we can see where we

00:37:05.050 --> 00:37:08.400
align and where we differ? Okay, so you're asking

00:37:08.400 --> 00:37:12.000
my favorite five songs? They don't necessarily

00:37:12.000 --> 00:37:15.460
have to be your favorite. Ones that you feel

00:37:15.460 --> 00:37:19.199
define the band's musical legacy. Oh, okay. So

00:37:19.199 --> 00:37:21.039
it's a little bit of a different spin than the

00:37:21.039 --> 00:37:23.699
choose between your children question. No, I

00:37:23.699 --> 00:37:26.239
got this. I got it. So it'd be Bright Spring

00:37:26.239 --> 00:37:31.639
Morning, probably Dog Kales. Maybe it's a newer

00:37:31.639 --> 00:37:34.280
song, but people seem to like it. Worry on my

00:37:34.280 --> 00:37:39.500
mind. High fives, obviously. God, what would

00:37:39.500 --> 00:37:44.039
be another one? It's got to be there. Come on,

00:37:44.039 --> 00:37:47.579
Brian. If only you were in the band. Look around

00:37:47.579 --> 00:37:51.320
your room. Maybe there's some things to fudge.

00:37:52.440 --> 00:37:54.940
Can you give me a hand? Don't miss something.

00:37:55.000 --> 00:37:58.500
I need one more. Toot alert. All right. Well,

00:37:58.539 --> 00:38:00.679
that one speaks to the hairband fan in me for

00:38:00.679 --> 00:38:03.199
sure. Love it. And I have a signature guitar

00:38:03.199 --> 00:38:05.960
pedal coming out by a company called Rude Tech.

00:38:06.440 --> 00:38:08.659
And it's going to be available. The same company

00:38:08.659 --> 00:38:10.840
did, you know, the band, the Aquabats. Oh, of

00:38:10.840 --> 00:38:15.179
course. So they did Eagle Bones. Ian did a signature

00:38:15.179 --> 00:38:18.360
pedal with them. And it's the same company doing

00:38:18.360 --> 00:38:21.840
it for me. And it's a doodler pedal based on

00:38:21.840 --> 00:38:24.760
a pedal that I built 13 years ago and has never

00:38:24.760 --> 00:38:26.400
been able to duplicate. But everyone's always

00:38:26.400 --> 00:38:28.929
like, what is that pedal? And I just go, I don't

00:38:28.929 --> 00:38:30.969
know. I just soldered it. I don't know what I'm

00:38:30.969 --> 00:38:34.050
doing. But anyway, so Doodler. Yes, because it's

00:38:34.050 --> 00:38:36.090
like a slowed down version of Kickstart My Heart

00:38:36.090 --> 00:38:38.550
With Horns. Yes, it's a frigging awesome one.

00:38:38.710 --> 00:38:41.610
Oh, thank you. Okay, well, that's my five. Great

00:38:41.610 --> 00:38:43.849
list. And I'm going to vary it up a little bit

00:38:43.849 --> 00:38:45.809
with some of my picks here. So I like where we're

00:38:45.809 --> 00:38:49.570
going. My five, we were in lock with High Fives

00:38:49.570 --> 00:38:54.329
from 2003's Rum Shaker. I'm going with This Cherry

00:38:54.329 --> 00:38:58.130
from 2006's Dance Like Nobody's Watching. I love

00:38:58.130 --> 00:39:00.789
that song. That song's so much fun to play. It

00:39:00.789 --> 00:39:05.110
rocks. It rocks. Just Be Happy from 2012's Day

00:39:05.110 --> 00:39:09.030
Job. So many people, we lied for doing Disney

00:39:09.030 --> 00:39:11.550
and stuff. We censored that song. So it says,

00:39:11.630 --> 00:39:14.030
don't be a motherfucker. Yes. We changed it to,

00:39:14.050 --> 00:39:16.650
don't eat my chicken fingers. And so everybody

00:39:16.650 --> 00:39:18.809
in the crowd says, don't, don't, don't, don't,

00:39:18.809 --> 00:39:21.429
don't eat my chicken fingers. And everybody sings

00:39:21.429 --> 00:39:23.409
that, but they all smile knowing it's don't be

00:39:23.409 --> 00:39:25.469
a motherfucker. And so people have said, are

00:39:25.469 --> 00:39:27.789
you ever going to do your censored version? No

00:39:27.789 --> 00:39:29.489
one's, no one ever asked for a band. Can you

00:39:29.489 --> 00:39:31.170
please release your censored version? Because

00:39:31.170 --> 00:39:35.349
I liked that one as well. So I go ahead. No problem.

00:39:35.630 --> 00:39:38.269
Then I'm going to go off of, cause I bought this

00:39:38.269 --> 00:39:42.849
CD in 2010, the 2010 going on tour EP dance,

00:39:42.929 --> 00:39:46.030
dance, dance. Oh yeah. We still replay that song.

00:39:46.110 --> 00:39:47.489
And that's the only way you can get it. It's

00:39:47.489 --> 00:39:50.639
on that. Yes. Good one. And then I'm going to

00:39:50.639 --> 00:39:53.239
go back to Day Job and I'm going to go with Whoa

00:39:53.239 --> 00:39:56.960
for my last song. All right. Those are all good

00:39:56.960 --> 00:39:59.500
ones that I like playing too, Brian. So you have

00:39:59.500 --> 00:40:04.480
my heart. Fantastic. Now, in 2009, the band collaborated

00:40:04.480 --> 00:40:07.219
with MC Lars and a band you just mentioned, the

00:40:07.219 --> 00:40:11.300
Aquabats, MC Bat Commander on the Nerdcore Ska

00:40:11.300 --> 00:40:15.469
classic. this gigantic robot kills. And then

00:40:15.469 --> 00:40:19.429
in 2015, you teamed up with Lars along with Roger

00:40:19.429 --> 00:40:23.349
Lima of less than Jake on sublime with Rome is

00:40:23.349 --> 00:40:26.389
not the same thing as sublime. Can you talk about

00:40:26.389 --> 00:40:28.989
how those nerd core collaborations came together?

00:40:29.050 --> 00:40:32.210
Because Scott nerd core really works well together.

00:40:32.789 --> 00:40:35.269
You know, we're all just people, so it should

00:40:35.269 --> 00:40:38.110
all just work together and just, but unfortunately

00:40:38.110 --> 00:40:41.300
everybody has to be in genres and stuff. But

00:40:41.300 --> 00:40:44.860
it came about because we took Lars on tour with

00:40:44.860 --> 00:40:49.280
us twice in the US and I think once in the UK.

00:40:49.900 --> 00:40:52.900
And I'm a massive, massive, massive hip hop head.

00:40:53.000 --> 00:40:55.920
And you may not know that by anybody who follows

00:40:55.920 --> 00:40:57.659
the band or anything, but that's primarily what

00:40:57.659 --> 00:41:00.280
I listen to. Hip hop has probably saved my life

00:41:00.280 --> 00:41:02.760
so many times. And so Lars and I always had a

00:41:02.760 --> 00:41:04.639
lot of intelligent conversations about hip hop

00:41:04.639 --> 00:41:07.340
because Lars is a very, very, very smart guy.

00:41:08.359 --> 00:41:11.940
And by the way, he talks and his banter. I mean,

00:41:11.960 --> 00:41:14.420
I'm sure you can gather it, but he's a very deep

00:41:14.420 --> 00:41:17.800
thinker. He's incredibly intelligent. And he

00:41:17.800 --> 00:41:20.480
just said, Hey, I got this song and would you

00:41:20.480 --> 00:41:23.500
help me with it? And so he, I think he and I,

00:41:23.559 --> 00:41:25.539
I don't know. I'm not sure if Joe from patent

00:41:25.539 --> 00:41:27.940
pending, I think Joe worked on it with us too.

00:41:28.280 --> 00:41:31.300
And we wrote it at my band's warehouse. Vince

00:41:31.300 --> 00:41:35.320
and I and Lars. And I think I want to give Joe

00:41:35.320 --> 00:41:38.659
credit. Cause I think he was there or he had

00:41:38.659 --> 00:41:41.360
a hand in it, but what Lars did there was pretty

00:41:41.360 --> 00:41:44.099
much a masterpiece helping out the Scotty pointing

00:41:44.099 --> 00:41:47.360
out like, Hey, we never left and we were still

00:41:47.360 --> 00:41:50.780
here and we're still fun. And you know, when

00:41:50.780 --> 00:41:52.619
you feel like it's cool to like us again, come

00:41:52.619 --> 00:41:58.059
on back. Scott is not dead. God, exactly. Scott,

00:41:58.119 --> 00:42:00.360
you wait on one second. Ah, dude, Brian, I'm

00:42:00.360 --> 00:42:03.280
so fricking prepared for this interview. It's

00:42:03.280 --> 00:42:06.949
not even funny. Look at this. Nice. And guess

00:42:06.949 --> 00:42:11.250
what it says on the back, Brian? Ska is not dead.

00:42:11.389 --> 00:42:14.369
I absolutely love it. Are you seeing it as C

00:42:14.369 --> 00:42:18.210
-H -T -O -N -G -A -D? Is that what it looks like

00:42:18.210 --> 00:42:20.909
to you? I do. I was so ready for this. I'm awesome.

00:42:21.400 --> 00:42:23.340
Well, while we're on the topic of collaborations,

00:42:23.699 --> 00:42:26.719
I do want to bring up one more track from 2012's

00:42:26.719 --> 00:42:29.739
day job. And that's the closing song. Can't stop

00:42:29.739 --> 00:42:32.659
it. That features lyrics born another amazing

00:42:32.659 --> 00:42:36.440
hip hop artist. This one just missed my top five

00:42:36.440 --> 00:42:39.800
because it's so ridiculously catchy. And I'm

00:42:39.800 --> 00:42:43.280
kind of curious how that collaboration came together.

00:42:43.320 --> 00:42:46.900
And if the band has ever considered a full on

00:42:46.900 --> 00:42:49.400
crossover album with a hip hop artist, because

00:42:49.400 --> 00:42:52.949
all three. collaborations i've talked about tonight

00:42:52.949 --> 00:42:58.590
are so damn good oh brian you're just tickling

00:42:58.590 --> 00:43:00.909
me right now without your hands you're just doing

00:43:00.909 --> 00:43:03.989
it through my ears dude okay so i've been a lyrics

00:43:03.989 --> 00:43:06.349
born fan and a literics fan like i said i'm hip

00:43:06.349 --> 00:43:08.630
-hop is my life and it's i can't even stress

00:43:08.630 --> 00:43:11.889
that enough how important it is to me and how

00:43:11.889 --> 00:43:14.469
while we talked about my stuff and you know working

00:43:14.469 --> 00:43:17.110
with kids and reading and how hip -hop mcs were

00:43:17.110 --> 00:43:19.639
the first to in the streets to say, knowledge

00:43:19.639 --> 00:43:22.659
is power, read, you know, and that's how you

00:43:22.659 --> 00:43:25.280
empower yourself. And I'd taken that mentality

00:43:25.280 --> 00:43:28.019
working with kids. But anyway, I love lyrics

00:43:28.019 --> 00:43:30.079
born. I think he's a smart, incredible lyricist.

00:43:30.099 --> 00:43:35.019
And we played a festival with them and the God,

00:43:35.039 --> 00:43:37.559
this touches home at so many points. So we played

00:43:37.559 --> 00:43:40.780
with them and I was so excited to see him because

00:43:40.780 --> 00:43:44.969
I love lyrics born. I love the T -Rex. He came

00:43:44.969 --> 00:43:47.130
up to me afterwards, and he's like, dude, that

00:43:47.130 --> 00:43:49.170
was really good. I'm like, okay, well, I'm a

00:43:49.170 --> 00:43:53.730
fan, so thank you. And we watched a little bit.

00:43:53.750 --> 00:43:57.550
I was nervous. We'd met so many cool people and

00:43:57.550 --> 00:43:59.869
everything, but I don't get starstruck that often,

00:43:59.909 --> 00:44:02.469
but somebody I really respect and like comes

00:44:02.469 --> 00:44:04.389
up to me and says, I really like your band. I'm

00:44:04.389 --> 00:44:09.309
like, oh, well, thank you. And then had a little

00:44:09.309 --> 00:44:11.809
liquid courage at the end of the festival that

00:44:11.809 --> 00:44:14.670
we played. It was in Modesto, too. When does

00:44:14.670 --> 00:44:17.070
Modesto make relationships happen? But it did.

00:44:17.449 --> 00:44:20.110
And I said, Hey man, we have a track that we're

00:44:20.110 --> 00:44:22.570
looking for an MC on. Cause I originally wanted

00:44:22.570 --> 00:44:25.949
to hit up Charlie tuna from Jurassic five. I

00:44:25.949 --> 00:44:27.489
said, Hey, would you be interested in doing a

00:44:27.489 --> 00:44:29.030
track? He said, take down my information right

00:44:29.030 --> 00:44:33.150
now. Yes. Yes. And so I took it down and another

00:44:33.150 --> 00:44:36.670
guy came up to me. His drummer said, Hey man,

00:44:36.869 --> 00:44:40.530
you're a ska band. I said, yes, we are. And he

00:44:40.530 --> 00:44:42.329
said, have you ever heard a band called big D

00:44:42.329 --> 00:44:45.039
and the kids table? I said, yes, I actually used

00:44:45.039 --> 00:44:46.679
to play guitar for Big D and the Kids Table.

00:44:46.980 --> 00:44:49.380
He goes, oh, that's funny. So did I. I used to

00:44:49.380 --> 00:44:51.980
play drums for them. Long story long, that dude

00:44:51.980 --> 00:44:55.059
ended up filling in in Suburban Legends on drums

00:44:55.059 --> 00:44:57.099
a couple of times for Disney shows and out of

00:44:57.099 --> 00:44:59.920
town stuff and playing in my blues band. But

00:44:59.920 --> 00:45:02.619
so that was just another connection. And so we

00:45:02.619 --> 00:45:04.280
just kept in touch with him. And when the track

00:45:04.280 --> 00:45:05.980
was done, sent it to him and he came back with

00:45:05.980 --> 00:45:09.000
that. And I'm just so and every once in a while

00:45:09.000 --> 00:45:11.340
I'll get a text from like, hey, man, I got this

00:45:11.340 --> 00:45:13.460
new record. Can you post it on your Facebook?

00:45:13.469 --> 00:45:15.730
on your socials to promote your bands and i'm

00:45:15.730 --> 00:45:18.469
just thinking yes lyrics born whatever you want

00:45:18.469 --> 00:45:23.610
yes tom because we're friends now so yeah that's

00:45:23.610 --> 00:45:25.949
how it came about and i would love oh my god

00:45:25.949 --> 00:45:29.710
i would love to love to bride have more hip -hop

00:45:29.710 --> 00:45:32.309
mcs because i really want to get charlie tuner

00:45:32.309 --> 00:45:35.210
from j5 and you know in uh i used to be in a

00:45:35.210 --> 00:45:36.630
band called the english beat i don't know if

00:45:36.630 --> 00:45:38.010
you i'm sure you know who they are but i used

00:45:38.010 --> 00:45:40.420
to play guitar for him yeah dave wakeling Yeah,

00:45:40.480 --> 00:45:43.980
exactly. He was my boss. And they always have

00:45:43.980 --> 00:45:46.820
a thing called a toaster, which is almost the

00:45:46.820 --> 00:45:49.960
guy that is like a hype man, but also raps. And

00:45:49.960 --> 00:45:52.139
I'm thinking that's almost like hip hop and ska,

00:45:52.239 --> 00:45:54.340
but why can't you do them both? I would love

00:45:54.340 --> 00:45:58.139
to contact hip hop MCs and have them guest on

00:45:58.139 --> 00:46:00.980
ska songs. If that were even a possibility to

00:46:00.980 --> 00:46:03.840
have, that would be a dream collaboration come

00:46:03.840 --> 00:46:06.320
true to do a record of that. I would never miss

00:46:06.320 --> 00:46:08.889
a second in the studio because. That's like I

00:46:08.889 --> 00:46:11.329
said, that's my lifeblood is hip hop. Awesome.

00:46:11.570 --> 00:46:13.849
Well, I want to mention one other cover song

00:46:13.849 --> 00:46:15.949
because I am a fan of cover songs that's outside

00:46:15.949 --> 00:46:18.309
of Disney tunes. And I'm going to go to your

00:46:18.309 --> 00:46:23.010
2015 album Forever in the Friend Zone. The band

00:46:23.010 --> 00:46:26.050
covered Andrew Gold's Thank You for Being a Friend.

00:46:26.190 --> 00:46:28.559
And if those out there listening. are wondering

00:46:28.559 --> 00:46:31.840
why that song sounds so familiar. It's probably

00:46:31.840 --> 00:46:34.320
because they're more familiar with Cynthia Fee's

00:46:34.320 --> 00:46:37.380
cover, which serves as the theme song to the

00:46:37.380 --> 00:46:40.880
Golden Girls. Yes. I'm curious what the band's

00:46:40.880 --> 00:46:44.039
criteria is in choosing cover songs. Is it personal

00:46:44.039 --> 00:46:46.719
connections, songs that you know the fan base

00:46:46.719 --> 00:46:50.099
will like, or something entirely different? You

00:46:50.099 --> 00:46:52.440
know what it comes right down to? Vince and I

00:46:52.440 --> 00:46:55.360
going, oh my God, I love this song. Or he'll

00:46:55.360 --> 00:46:59.139
just, I'll send a video to him. Or, I mean, you're

00:46:59.139 --> 00:47:01.179
a father, so I'm sure you watched Bluey at some

00:47:01.179 --> 00:47:04.260
point. Oh my God, I've seen Bluey. Oh yeah, God,

00:47:04.280 --> 00:47:06.019
that's the perfect show for a parent because

00:47:06.019 --> 00:47:08.099
everything just speaks to the parent. And then

00:47:08.099 --> 00:47:11.079
kids like it too. But I mean, I could just say

00:47:11.079 --> 00:47:13.639
like, Vince, why haven't we covered the Bluey

00:47:13.639 --> 00:47:16.320
soundtrack? And then five minutes later, I'll

00:47:16.320 --> 00:47:18.960
get a track to play on. Do it. I already set

00:47:18.960 --> 00:47:20.460
it up. Come on, let's do it. Quick, quick, quick.

00:47:21.000 --> 00:47:24.139
You know, we cover what we like. Cause I don't

00:47:24.139 --> 00:47:26.119
know if you, if you, how much you've dove into

00:47:26.119 --> 00:47:28.860
our catalog, but we have a lot of songs about

00:47:28.860 --> 00:47:32.119
friendship, you know, and that's the main reason

00:47:32.119 --> 00:47:34.900
why we're still doing it because we stopped touring

00:47:34.900 --> 00:47:38.179
so heavily. And it's an excuse for her to see

00:47:38.179 --> 00:47:40.579
my best friends because everybody has lives,

00:47:40.719 --> 00:47:43.719
families, wives, and kids and all that stuff.

00:47:43.820 --> 00:47:45.739
And, you know, it's like the only chance we get

00:47:45.739 --> 00:47:48.099
to see each other and have fun and play music

00:47:48.099 --> 00:47:49.840
together, which is why we all became best friends

00:47:49.840 --> 00:47:51.659
in the first place. Cause see my band are my

00:47:51.659 --> 00:47:54.159
best friends. I've toured with so many bands

00:47:54.159 --> 00:47:56.579
and had a great time with them, but just touring

00:47:56.579 --> 00:47:58.880
with your best friends is such an incredible

00:47:58.880 --> 00:48:02.599
treat and gold. That's why we've stayed together

00:48:02.599 --> 00:48:05.340
for so long. And so we've written all these songs

00:48:05.340 --> 00:48:08.539
about friendship and Vince sent me this song.

00:48:09.260 --> 00:48:11.619
And I think he sent me another Andrew Gold song

00:48:11.619 --> 00:48:13.199
too. I was like, this is so good. He goes, well,

00:48:13.219 --> 00:48:15.380
guess what? He did the Golden Girls theme and

00:48:15.380 --> 00:48:18.059
he sent me that. And I think we said, do we need

00:48:18.059 --> 00:48:20.219
to cover this? Oh, we sing so many songs about

00:48:20.219 --> 00:48:21.960
friendship and this is like the perfect one.

00:48:22.460 --> 00:48:25.880
And so that's how there's the criteria for a

00:48:25.880 --> 00:48:29.099
cover song for Suburban Legends is personal relation.

00:48:29.860 --> 00:48:32.699
Will we make it funny? Does it need to be funny?

00:48:32.780 --> 00:48:36.079
And do we feel compelled to cover this? It's

00:48:36.079 --> 00:48:38.500
got to have some sort of relation and hit home

00:48:38.500 --> 00:48:41.159
somehow with us. And every single cover song

00:48:41.159 --> 00:48:43.360
we have has hit home. We're not doing it just

00:48:43.360 --> 00:48:47.219
to do it. It's got a story behind it. And there's

00:48:47.219 --> 00:48:48.840
not enough time in the podcast to talk about

00:48:48.840 --> 00:48:51.739
them all. Well, as somebody who's seen Suburban

00:48:51.739 --> 00:48:54.139
Legend several times over the years when you've

00:48:54.139 --> 00:48:56.820
been out in New Jersey, it definitely shines

00:48:56.820 --> 00:48:59.460
through in the band's music. So I absolutely

00:48:59.460 --> 00:49:02.900
love it. Oh, I'm glad. Well, now we're going

00:49:02.900 --> 00:49:05.420
to flip over to Side B and I get to kick things

00:49:05.420 --> 00:49:08.920
off tonight. And I am going to start off Side

00:49:08.920 --> 00:49:13.599
B with a very big show -stopping song from a

00:49:13.599 --> 00:49:16.440
movie we've already talked about. So let us pull

00:49:16.440 --> 00:49:19.079
up a chair as the dining room proudly presents.

00:49:19.079 --> 00:49:20.820
That's the one I was going to pick, Brian. That's

00:49:20.820 --> 00:49:23.539
the one I was going to pick. Can I just say it,

00:49:23.619 --> 00:49:27.679
please? Absolutely. Or should I say, be my guest.

00:49:28.679 --> 00:49:31.940
Be your guest? Hell yeah. We were supposed to

00:49:31.940 --> 00:49:34.760
cover that, Brian. I'm so upset that I didn't

00:49:34.760 --> 00:49:37.059
pick that because on this record, that was going

00:49:37.059 --> 00:49:38.400
to be one of the ones that I was going to sing.

00:49:38.500 --> 00:49:42.360
Oh my God, really? Yes. I love that song. So

00:49:42.360 --> 00:49:44.989
many times people will say something. Like, is

00:49:44.989 --> 00:49:47.429
this good? And I'll go, try the gray stuff. It's

00:49:47.429 --> 00:49:49.170
delicious. Don't believe me. After dishes, they

00:49:49.170 --> 00:49:50.849
could sing. They could dance. After all, this

00:49:50.849 --> 00:49:52.449
is friends. We're service here is never second.

00:49:52.530 --> 00:49:55.969
That's going to take a glance. Sorry. Not at

00:49:55.969 --> 00:49:59.650
all. When the music hits, it's still good. Absolutely

00:49:59.650 --> 00:50:02.849
love that song. And one of my favorite things

00:50:02.849 --> 00:50:07.409
to do at Disney is the Mickey's PhilharMagic

00:50:07.409 --> 00:50:11.969
in Walt Disney World, where they do the 4D cartoon.

00:50:12.780 --> 00:50:15.239
And they literally do this song, and it's coming

00:50:15.239 --> 00:50:17.500
out of the screen, and you smell the pies. They're

00:50:17.500 --> 00:50:20.420
holding it out. It's so wild. Why are you telling

00:50:20.420 --> 00:50:23.480
me this? You haven't seen that one yet? Oh, dude,

00:50:23.539 --> 00:50:25.800
it's incredible. Mickey's PhilharMagic. The only

00:50:25.800 --> 00:50:29.320
time that we do Disney Florida is when we're

00:50:29.320 --> 00:50:31.780
on tour and someone signs us in there. We've

00:50:31.780 --> 00:50:33.880
never played Disney Florida, but I love it so

00:50:33.880 --> 00:50:36.900
much. But I'm just so glad that you picked to

00:50:36.900 --> 00:50:39.760
be our guest, because that should have been on

00:50:39.760 --> 00:50:43.769
my freaking list. You stole it, Brian. Well,

00:50:43.869 --> 00:50:46.250
I am passing the mic back to you now to follow

00:50:46.250 --> 00:50:48.969
it up with something that is on your list. All

00:50:48.969 --> 00:50:53.170
right. There's not a whole story behind this,

00:50:53.409 --> 00:50:56.710
but it's just a great song. The Encanto's Surface

00:50:56.710 --> 00:51:04.610
Pressure. Nice. During the summer, I teach first

00:51:04.610 --> 00:51:06.570
through fifth. I work at a writing school where

00:51:06.570 --> 00:51:08.710
I teach first through fifth where the kids get

00:51:08.710 --> 00:51:10.860
to write and publish their own book. and illustrate

00:51:10.860 --> 00:51:13.500
by the end of it. Oh, awesome. It's really cool.

00:51:14.059 --> 00:51:16.920
And that's when Encanto came out. And there was

00:51:16.920 --> 00:51:19.019
a kid in my class named Bruno. So every time

00:51:19.019 --> 00:51:20.380
he'd get called, everyone says, we don't talk

00:51:20.380 --> 00:51:23.440
about Bruno. And then he'd always get bombed.

00:51:23.440 --> 00:51:26.300
And so I'd always switch the narrative to, I'd

00:51:26.300 --> 00:51:28.139
immediately go into, yeah, that song's great,

00:51:28.179 --> 00:51:30.599
but what are the pressure? And I'd mess up the

00:51:30.599 --> 00:51:32.420
lyrics just to piss off the kids. And they go,

00:51:32.480 --> 00:51:36.119
no, that's not how it goes. And I go, yeah, I'm

00:51:36.119 --> 00:51:37.840
the adult. And I'm telling you, that's how it

00:51:37.840 --> 00:51:40.860
goes. But the song, the way it's structured,

00:51:41.019 --> 00:51:44.460
the lyrics, the melody, the story, how it goes

00:51:44.460 --> 00:51:47.139
up, and then it gets all sensitive with her.

00:51:47.219 --> 00:51:50.300
And it's just a great song. I love that song.

00:51:50.639 --> 00:51:53.260
I think the music in that movie was perfect.

00:51:53.440 --> 00:51:57.500
I mean, obviously, Lin -Manuel Miranda just does

00:51:57.500 --> 00:52:02.269
so much. It's like lyrical acrobatics. So I obviously

00:52:02.269 --> 00:52:04.909
had We Don't Talk About Bruno on my list as well

00:52:04.909 --> 00:52:07.030
because it kind of brought the whole ensemble

00:52:07.030 --> 00:52:10.269
in. And that song became like a moment. The way

00:52:10.269 --> 00:52:13.409
Let It Go became a moment. But I'm glad that

00:52:13.409 --> 00:52:15.389
this movie is represented because musically,

00:52:15.469 --> 00:52:18.570
it's probably one of the stronger ones. The recent

00:52:18.570 --> 00:52:21.349
ones, yes, absolutely. And the story in the movie

00:52:21.349 --> 00:52:24.710
is just great. The family aspect and everything

00:52:24.710 --> 00:52:28.170
about it is great. Like you said, the Bruno thing

00:52:28.170 --> 00:52:30.619
was a moment in time for people. And I'm going

00:52:30.619 --> 00:52:32.739
like, hey, but what about the pressure song?

00:52:33.059 --> 00:52:35.480
Remember when she grabbed the donkeys? Come on.

00:52:36.119 --> 00:52:39.840
That's good, too. Unbelievable. Well, I am going

00:52:39.840 --> 00:52:43.260
to go now. You went with a newer movie. So I'm

00:52:43.260 --> 00:52:45.340
going to go way back. And I'm not even going

00:52:45.340 --> 00:52:47.960
to go with a movie. I'm going to go with a song

00:52:47.960 --> 00:52:51.460
that was featured in a Disney cartoon short.

00:52:52.260 --> 00:52:55.400
But it's still one of my favorite Disney tunes

00:52:55.400 --> 00:52:59.099
ever. And it has been featured on a soundtrack.

00:52:59.849 --> 00:53:03.750
for Disney's House of Mouse. The cartoon is called

00:53:03.750 --> 00:53:08.670
In the Bag, and it's from 1956. And the song

00:53:08.670 --> 00:53:11.929
is called The Humphrey Hop. I don't believe you.

00:53:12.329 --> 00:53:16.070
I'm checking it right now. If that song doesn't

00:53:16.070 --> 00:53:19.469
sound familiar, it's... First you stick a rag,

00:53:19.550 --> 00:53:21.829
put it in the bag, bump, bump. Then you bend

00:53:21.829 --> 00:53:24.269
your back, put it in the sack, bump, bump. That's

00:53:24.269 --> 00:53:26.590
the way it's done. It's a lot of fun, bump, bump.

00:53:26.710 --> 00:53:29.010
Cutting capers, putting papers in the bag. And

00:53:29.010 --> 00:53:32.050
it's just this stupid cartoon with all these

00:53:32.050 --> 00:53:35.170
bears cleaning up the park. And the ranger is

00:53:35.170 --> 00:53:37.610
singing this song, counting them in, and they're

00:53:37.610 --> 00:53:40.809
all dancing and cleaning up. And I watched this

00:53:40.809 --> 00:53:43.650
cartoon so many times when the Disney Channel

00:53:43.650 --> 00:53:46.530
was playing cartoon shorts in the 80s growing

00:53:46.530 --> 00:53:49.389
up. And this one was always one of my favorites.

00:53:49.610 --> 00:53:52.730
So that is my, I usually go with a deep pick.

00:53:52.869 --> 00:53:55.369
I'll be very curious how many Disney fans out

00:53:55.369 --> 00:53:57.210
there remember that one. So if you do make sure.

00:53:57.230 --> 00:53:59.610
I'm trying to bring it up on Disney right now.

00:54:00.010 --> 00:54:02.750
Is it even on Disney Plus? Well, it's definitely

00:54:02.750 --> 00:54:04.989
on YouTube. So what I'll do is I'll embed it

00:54:04.989 --> 00:54:08.030
over on the episode page at myweeklymixtape .com

00:54:08.030 --> 00:54:11.030
in case anybody out there hasn't seen it. Well,

00:54:11.070 --> 00:54:12.750
I grew up having the Disney channel back. Like

00:54:12.750 --> 00:54:14.530
you said, like we talked about earlier with the

00:54:14.530 --> 00:54:17.679
Jazzercise and Mousercise. Because my old man

00:54:17.679 --> 00:54:19.800
owned and operated a cable construction company

00:54:19.800 --> 00:54:23.440
for like 50 years. And so we used to get free

00:54:23.440 --> 00:54:25.880
cable all the time. So I'd watch Disney Channel

00:54:25.880 --> 00:54:28.159
nonstop. And they had, do you remember the Disney

00:54:28.159 --> 00:54:30.940
Sunday movie? Oh, yeah, of course. Sorry, this

00:54:30.940 --> 00:54:33.000
is a trip down memory lane for me. No problem.

00:54:33.400 --> 00:54:35.659
Our moment of time that we had with Disney is

00:54:35.659 --> 00:54:37.579
going to be completely different than our kids.

00:54:38.039 --> 00:54:40.019
Of course. And which is, I mean, it's awesome

00:54:40.019 --> 00:54:42.840
because our special time is, you know, what we

00:54:42.840 --> 00:54:45.730
had. And we're remembering it fondly. Maybe they'll

00:54:45.730 --> 00:54:48.269
remember this special time fondly. I don't know.

00:54:48.610 --> 00:54:52.250
I hope they do. Completely agree. I took it a

00:54:52.250 --> 00:54:54.469
little deep. We're talking Disney. So that's

00:54:54.469 --> 00:54:56.949
not a problem because usually heavier moments

00:54:56.949 --> 00:54:59.269
are followed by moments of levity. And with that,

00:54:59.289 --> 00:55:01.989
we're back to you for our next pick. Okay. Well,

00:55:02.030 --> 00:55:04.789
why don't we do the toy store? You got a friend

00:55:04.789 --> 00:55:08.409
in me. Nice. Because, I mean, obviously the band

00:55:08.409 --> 00:55:10.650
did a video for it. And I think that's one of

00:55:10.650 --> 00:55:13.139
our funnier videos. where I get pregnant with

00:55:13.139 --> 00:55:18.079
my friend Vince's baby from a high five. So if

00:55:18.079 --> 00:55:21.139
you don't have an allergic reaction to latex,

00:55:21.139 --> 00:55:23.360
then you should start wearing a glove when you

00:55:23.360 --> 00:55:24.780
give somebody a high five because you can get

00:55:24.780 --> 00:55:29.199
pregnant. But I was a big Toy Story fan back

00:55:29.199 --> 00:55:33.340
in the mid -90s when it came out, like 94, 95?

00:55:33.880 --> 00:55:38.900
95, yep. Once again, I told you when I pre -ordered

00:55:38.900 --> 00:55:41.309
the stuff at Disney for the videos. the puffy

00:55:41.309 --> 00:55:43.969
cases, the clamshell cases. I did that for Toy

00:55:43.969 --> 00:55:46.050
Story. I think I got all the Burger King toys

00:55:46.050 --> 00:55:50.610
and my son, God, I got one from Burger King that

00:55:50.610 --> 00:55:52.630
you press the button on Woody's chest and it

00:55:52.630 --> 00:55:55.110
says, you're my favorite deputy. And it's actually

00:55:55.110 --> 00:55:57.289
Tom Hanks voice. You know, you don't get the

00:55:57.289 --> 00:56:01.699
real voices anymore. And so that was what. How

00:56:01.699 --> 00:56:04.099
many years ago? And the battery still works.

00:56:04.199 --> 00:56:05.840
I have a five -year -old and the battery still

00:56:05.840 --> 00:56:10.219
works. And so I ordered it and it came with the

00:56:10.219 --> 00:56:13.000
lithographs and it came with a Buzz Lightyear

00:56:13.000 --> 00:56:16.059
watch. And I actually have the Buzz Lightyear

00:56:16.059 --> 00:56:19.119
watch right there. So yeah, I was a big, big

00:56:19.119 --> 00:56:21.400
Toy Story fan. And I was in eighth grade. We

00:56:21.400 --> 00:56:24.239
took a class trip to Disney. And I said, all

00:56:24.239 --> 00:56:26.199
I want to do is just buy as much Toy Story stuff

00:56:26.199 --> 00:56:29.869
as I can. And I still have an alien. Still in

00:56:29.869 --> 00:56:31.550
the package on my wall that every time my son

00:56:31.550 --> 00:56:33.650
comes in my man cave. Dad, can I have it? Nope.

00:56:33.809 --> 00:56:38.090
Okay. Dad, can I have it? Nope. Okay. But I've

00:56:38.090 --> 00:56:41.170
given him a lot of my old Toy Story toys. Except

00:56:41.170 --> 00:56:43.349
that one. He's not going to touch that one. Maybe

00:56:43.349 --> 00:56:46.829
on his wedding day. No, no, no. He's going to

00:56:46.829 --> 00:56:50.130
get a he's going to get a Mary Poppins one. There

00:56:50.130 --> 00:56:54.079
you go. Well, I mean, obviously, Randy Newman

00:56:54.079 --> 00:56:56.460
classic. That song, as soon as you hear the opening

00:56:56.460 --> 00:56:58.980
notes, you know exactly what movie it is. And

00:56:58.980 --> 00:57:02.400
when it first came out, Pixar was separate from

00:57:02.400 --> 00:57:05.579
Disney. And this was this new kind of like, what

00:57:05.579 --> 00:57:08.920
is this? This is so different. And yeah, it was

00:57:08.920 --> 00:57:11.320
so different than what was out there. And it

00:57:11.320 --> 00:57:13.179
was so iconic. And the fact that they've been

00:57:13.179 --> 00:57:15.760
able to keep such a strong narrative through

00:57:15.760 --> 00:57:19.760
three sequels really speaks to the volume. Like

00:57:19.760 --> 00:57:21.940
when you know you're getting a toy story. They

00:57:21.940 --> 00:57:25.159
never really slip down from the first one. No,

00:57:25.159 --> 00:57:26.480
they've never. You know what you're going to

00:57:26.480 --> 00:57:27.659
get. You know you're going to have the feels.

00:57:27.880 --> 00:57:29.840
You know you're going to have the funny. You

00:57:29.840 --> 00:57:31.579
know you're going to guess about the new voices.

00:57:31.780 --> 00:57:34.099
And you're okay with the message. You can watch

00:57:34.099 --> 00:57:36.780
that movie a thousand times. Any one of them.

00:57:36.900 --> 00:57:39.139
Find new things. And you can watch it with your

00:57:39.139 --> 00:57:41.179
kid as many times as you want. And I doubt you'll

00:57:41.179 --> 00:57:45.000
get sick of it. I once, during COVID, my missus

00:57:45.000 --> 00:57:48.539
was working from home. And I wasn't working because

00:57:48.539 --> 00:57:52.539
COVID. And so I was with them all day. So I said

00:57:52.539 --> 00:57:54.639
I would go and say, hey, dude, guess what we're

00:57:54.639 --> 00:57:56.659
going to do? We're going to do all four Toy Story

00:57:56.659 --> 00:57:59.800
movies. And you know what? To this day, one of

00:57:59.800 --> 00:58:02.139
my favorite ones is the dinosaur one. Have you

00:58:02.139 --> 00:58:05.739
ever seen the dinosaur short? Yes. It's so freaking

00:58:05.739 --> 00:58:09.400
good. It's so good. Anyway, so I just I have

00:58:09.400 --> 00:58:11.900
a very fond attachment. I bought the soundtrack

00:58:11.900 --> 00:58:13.400
when it came out when I was in eighth grade.

00:58:13.920 --> 00:58:16.840
I bought all the toys and the fact that my band

00:58:16.840 --> 00:58:18.679
gets to cover it. And then on top of that, I

00:58:18.679 --> 00:58:20.940
told you I do. I read to kids at the library.

00:58:21.000 --> 00:58:23.119
I'm an employee of the city of Huntington Beach

00:58:23.119 --> 00:58:26.980
for doing story tanks for kids. And that's one

00:58:26.980 --> 00:58:30.179
of the songs I sing. And more often than not,

00:58:30.179 --> 00:58:32.380
the parents are the ones that are singing loud

00:58:32.380 --> 00:58:35.300
in the crowd than the kids. Of course. That's

00:58:35.300 --> 00:58:38.519
our music. I'm like almost playing to them. And

00:58:38.519 --> 00:58:40.260
the kids are just like, all right, mom and dad,

00:58:40.320 --> 00:58:44.420
get your song over with. Well, following that

00:58:44.420 --> 00:58:47.960
up, I'm going to go back about 20 years. to a

00:58:47.960 --> 00:58:51.519
movie that I grew up with a lot watching, renting

00:58:51.519 --> 00:58:55.420
a lot from the VHS store, from the video store

00:58:55.420 --> 00:58:58.480
growing up as a kid. And that is The Jungle Book.

00:58:58.780 --> 00:59:00.920
And I'm going to go with a song that was performed

00:59:00.920 --> 00:59:05.199
by Phil Harris as Baloo and Bruce Reitherman

00:59:05.199 --> 00:59:09.159
as Mowgli. And I'm going with The Bare Necessities.

00:59:09.679 --> 00:59:11.760
Have you heard Bowling for Snoop's cover? Oh,

00:59:11.800 --> 00:59:13.300
that's exactly what I was just going to say.

00:59:13.380 --> 00:59:15.420
Their cover is so freaking amazing. Dude, they

00:59:15.420 --> 00:59:18.130
did it. I wanted the legends to cover it. And

00:59:18.130 --> 00:59:20.690
then I remember seeing it on, on Disney. Cause

00:59:20.690 --> 00:59:22.730
I used to listen to radio Disney and watch Disney

00:59:22.730 --> 00:59:24.690
channel a lot. They used to play our stuff on

00:59:24.690 --> 00:59:27.110
radio Disney in the background. Yes. But that

00:59:27.110 --> 00:59:30.429
song, they did such a great cover. We toured

00:59:30.429 --> 00:59:31.929
with Boeing for soup and I didn't even mention

00:59:31.929 --> 00:59:34.380
it to them. I should have. Oh man. Their cover

00:59:34.380 --> 00:59:36.420
of that is fantastic. And that's exactly why

00:59:36.420 --> 00:59:39.079
there's that punk element to the song that I

00:59:39.079 --> 00:59:41.280
love their cover so much. I would always play

00:59:41.280 --> 00:59:43.760
that version for my kids because it's like, Hey,

00:59:43.780 --> 00:59:46.119
you know, some of dad's music's cool too. Look,

00:59:46.139 --> 00:59:49.380
see dad's music likes Disney too. You know? Yeah.

00:59:49.519 --> 00:59:51.079
That's, you know, that's another reason why we

00:59:51.079 --> 00:59:53.900
did our Disney covers and now because so many

00:59:53.900 --> 00:59:57.340
of our fans have kids now and they all say like,

00:59:57.400 --> 00:59:59.239
can you make a Disney record so I can play it

00:59:59.239 --> 01:00:01.409
for my kids? Cause I can't. play all of your

01:00:01.409 --> 01:00:03.949
record stuff for my kids. And I'm like, yes,

01:00:03.949 --> 01:00:07.530
we should. And we did. I'm bummed that they got

01:00:07.530 --> 01:00:09.349
to it before us, but they did a good job covering

01:00:09.349 --> 01:00:12.090
it. They did a great job. Definitely. And now

01:00:12.090 --> 01:00:13.789
I'm going to throw it back to you to follow that

01:00:13.789 --> 01:00:16.409
up with your next pick. All right. Let's see.

01:00:18.289 --> 01:00:25.010
All right. So this is another song that I so

01:00:25.010 --> 01:00:28.750
badly wanted to cover. And it's almost like 50

01:00:28.750 --> 01:00:31.420
songs in one. And once again, it goes back to

01:00:31.420 --> 01:00:35.119
my favorite movie, Little Mermaid. And I just

01:00:35.119 --> 01:00:39.760
love Ursula. Her attitude and her swagger, her

01:00:39.760 --> 01:00:43.239
voice. Like maybe she used to smoke for 40 years.

01:00:44.159 --> 01:00:47.539
Poor Unfortunate Souls. Awesome tune. It's such

01:00:47.539 --> 01:00:50.820
a good song. And I just remember being a little

01:00:50.820 --> 01:00:53.300
kid. Like I told you when I was at YMCA in the

01:00:53.300 --> 01:00:57.119
nap room. And it's just like. me and my friend

01:00:57.119 --> 01:00:59.400
would, when we're taking naps and we'd be like,

01:00:59.480 --> 01:01:06.139
it's all about, you know, and it's just like

01:01:06.139 --> 01:01:08.480
those little quotes and just, it's just a great

01:01:08.480 --> 01:01:11.860
song, a great, great song. And I love it. I wish

01:01:11.860 --> 01:01:14.300
we covered it, but alas, it wasn't in the cards,

01:01:14.400 --> 01:01:17.199
but I love that song. And there's still plenty

01:01:17.199 --> 01:01:18.980
of time. Maybe it is in the cards for the future.

01:01:19.039 --> 01:01:22.320
Who knows? Right. We talked about doing a Disney

01:01:22.320 --> 01:01:24.860
covers record of doing one side, happy and the

01:01:24.860 --> 01:01:26.679
other side villains. I probably shouldn't be

01:01:26.679 --> 01:01:28.539
saying that now just in case we do it sometime,

01:01:28.639 --> 01:01:32.179
but yeah. If you do end up doing it, then I got

01:01:32.179 --> 01:01:34.639
a scoop on my show. So I'd be pretty happy about

01:01:34.639 --> 01:01:38.099
that. Absolutely. Well, two songs ago, we had

01:01:38.099 --> 01:01:40.539
a song that Bowling for Soup covered that you

01:01:40.539 --> 01:01:42.920
wish you covered. Then you followed it up with

01:01:42.920 --> 01:01:45.500
a song that you wish you covered. I'm going to

01:01:45.500 --> 01:01:48.119
follow up Poor Unfortunate Souls with a song

01:01:48.119 --> 01:01:51.380
that you did cover and is one of my favorites.

01:01:51.920 --> 01:01:55.500
And it's a theme song. Because you cannot talk

01:01:55.500 --> 01:01:58.119
about Disney music and not talk about the theme

01:01:58.119 --> 01:02:01.119
from DuckTales. So I am dropping that. All right.

01:02:01.940 --> 01:02:03.960
Looks like I have to scrape that off my list.

01:02:04.019 --> 01:02:06.840
Thank you, Brian. Good one. I mean, you mentioned

01:02:06.840 --> 01:02:08.860
it when you talked about your five songs that

01:02:08.860 --> 01:02:11.960
you feel describes Suburban Legends. I love your

01:02:11.960 --> 01:02:15.139
version of it so much. The original, again, it

01:02:15.139 --> 01:02:17.280
hits every nostalgia point because we watched

01:02:17.280 --> 01:02:20.480
DuckTales after school growing up. And the song

01:02:20.480 --> 01:02:24.980
is so catchy. And even as adults, we love this

01:02:24.980 --> 01:02:27.119
song and it's something that the kids get into

01:02:27.119 --> 01:02:30.639
and parents and kids can relate to and i love

01:02:30.639 --> 01:02:32.860
going back and watching the reruns of the old

01:02:32.860 --> 01:02:35.880
show with my kids and they brought it back for

01:02:35.880 --> 01:02:38.159
a new generation even though i'm partial to the

01:02:38.159 --> 01:02:40.460
original you're absolutely right the new one

01:02:40.460 --> 01:02:43.199
is good but the original is it has the heart

01:02:43.199 --> 01:02:46.599
yes that's you'd hit the nail on the head so

01:02:46.599 --> 01:02:49.880
have to throw in the ducktales theme here yeah

01:02:49.880 --> 01:02:52.809
definitely so with that song That was almost

01:02:52.809 --> 01:02:54.829
like one of our sleeper hits. That's one of our,

01:02:54.829 --> 01:02:58.309
in the millions, that stream. And we didn't know

01:02:58.309 --> 01:02:59.570
that it was going to be that big of a hit. We

01:02:59.570 --> 01:03:01.349
were just, a lot of these songs we didn't do

01:03:01.349 --> 01:03:03.329
because they think that people would be like,

01:03:03.349 --> 01:03:04.909
we'd get the streams or anything. We're just

01:03:04.909 --> 01:03:07.289
like, wow, we just really like this song. And

01:03:07.289 --> 01:03:09.690
it's a vehicle to perform the song. Same with

01:03:09.690 --> 01:03:11.489
Kiss the Girl. I always loved that song. I always

01:03:11.489 --> 01:03:14.110
wanted to do it. And the band was a vehicle to

01:03:14.110 --> 01:03:17.130
do it. And same with DuckTales. And Aaron Barrett

01:03:17.130 --> 01:03:19.150
from Real Big Fish did the guitar solo on that.

01:03:19.440 --> 01:03:21.599
And the thing that hurts, the thing that cuts

01:03:21.599 --> 01:03:23.900
is everyone's like, oh, that's such a good solo

01:03:23.900 --> 01:03:27.000
on DuckTales. And all I can go is, thank you.

01:03:27.280 --> 01:03:29.400
I can't say anything else after that. Just thank

01:03:29.400 --> 01:03:34.659
you. He's a better guitar player than I am. So

01:03:34.659 --> 01:03:38.719
that's my story about DuckTales. I love it. Well,

01:03:38.760 --> 01:03:40.579
now I'm throwing it back to you. We're at the

01:03:40.579 --> 01:03:42.800
home stretch here. We only got a few songs left.

01:03:42.900 --> 01:03:45.699
So what do you have for track eight? Okay. Well,

01:03:45.780 --> 01:03:47.000
I'm going to have to cut down my list because

01:03:47.000 --> 01:03:50.090
DuckTales was on there. But so let's do Can't

01:03:50.090 --> 01:03:54.130
Wait to Be King. Obviously, because of Lion King.

01:03:54.210 --> 01:03:56.289
That was the second one of our two Disney songs

01:03:56.289 --> 01:03:58.489
that we released and that people would just go

01:03:58.489 --> 01:04:01.630
apeshit for. When anybody asks like, oh, send

01:04:01.630 --> 01:04:03.530
me a video of your band. I send them a video

01:04:03.530 --> 01:04:06.389
of us playing Can't Wait to Be King at the Forum

01:04:06.389 --> 01:04:09.469
in London in front of 2 ,500 people dancing to

01:04:09.469 --> 01:04:11.309
Can't Wait to Be King. Because it makes me look

01:04:11.309 --> 01:04:13.329
cool. And you know the song. So you go, oh, I

01:04:13.329 --> 01:04:15.780
like this song. I know the song. Oh. People must

01:04:15.780 --> 01:04:17.599
think his band's popular, even though they were

01:04:17.599 --> 01:04:18.920
there for Real Big Fish. They weren't there for

01:04:18.920 --> 01:04:22.440
us. Maybe two of them were. So my trombone player,

01:04:22.579 --> 01:04:26.059
Brian Robertson, he and I don't agree on anything.

01:04:26.840 --> 01:04:29.059
It's almost like a brother -brother relationship

01:04:29.059 --> 01:04:31.460
where we butt heads all the time. And the two

01:04:31.460 --> 01:04:34.940
things that we've ever agreed on that we both

01:04:34.940 --> 01:04:36.719
like, everything else is like, no, I don't want

01:04:36.719 --> 01:04:40.219
to butt heads. But it's brotherly love. One would

01:04:40.219 --> 01:04:42.719
be that we both like Waterworld and nobody else

01:04:42.719 --> 01:04:45.639
likes it. That and the other one is, The Lion

01:04:45.639 --> 01:04:47.639
King. That's the only things that we've ever

01:04:47.639 --> 01:04:49.780
agreed on in our entire life. Everything is no,

01:04:49.940 --> 01:04:54.539
no, no, no. And I even saw that on Broadway many,

01:04:54.599 --> 01:04:57.039
many moons ago and it was phenomenal. And to

01:04:57.039 --> 01:04:59.739
see how they did it and they brought it to live

01:04:59.739 --> 01:05:03.539
action and just the songs are just, the songs

01:05:03.539 --> 01:05:05.300
are really good. And the heart in that movie,

01:05:05.400 --> 01:05:07.079
everything, it just tugs on the heartstrings,

01:05:07.119 --> 01:05:09.139
especially being a father and wanting to see

01:05:09.139 --> 01:05:11.760
your kids succeed. So that's what I got. All

01:05:11.760 --> 01:05:14.420
right. I absolutely love the song. I had went

01:05:14.420 --> 01:05:17.579
with Hakuna Matata on side A, but I love the

01:05:17.579 --> 01:05:19.619
fact that you got this in here because I love

01:05:19.619 --> 01:05:23.599
your cover, which was on 2012's Gay Job. I think

01:05:23.599 --> 01:05:26.159
you guys do an amazing version of it. That's

01:05:26.159 --> 01:05:28.619
again in my list, but I wanted to, during the

01:05:28.619 --> 01:05:30.480
middle of the episode, talk about your original

01:05:30.480 --> 01:05:32.300
tune. So I'm glad we're able to get this one

01:05:32.300 --> 01:05:35.400
in here. And now for my last song of the night,

01:05:35.519 --> 01:05:38.809
it's going to double up as my last pick. But

01:05:38.809 --> 01:05:41.010
it's also going to be a humble request that maybe

01:05:41.010 --> 01:05:43.989
you guys consider this one going forward. Because

01:05:43.989 --> 01:05:48.409
I could completely hear a Ska cover version of

01:05:48.409 --> 01:05:52.250
this song. And I'm going to go back to 2016's

01:05:52.250 --> 01:05:56.070
Moana. And I'm going to go with Dwayne The Rock

01:05:56.070 --> 01:05:58.469
Johnson as Maui. And I'm going to go with You're

01:05:58.469 --> 01:06:01.250
Welcome. Oh, dude, I can't believe I missed that

01:06:01.250 --> 01:06:03.889
one. I'm so glad you did, bro. That's the jam

01:06:03.889 --> 01:06:07.090
right there. It's okay to say you're welcome.

01:06:07.769 --> 01:06:09.650
I swear to God, when that first came on Disney

01:06:09.650 --> 01:06:13.769
+, my daughter kept saying, can we watch that

01:06:13.769 --> 01:06:15.449
song again? Can we watch that song again? And

01:06:15.449 --> 01:06:18.110
I was like, sure, because it's so catchy. I never

01:06:18.110 --> 01:06:21.230
got sick of it. And that would make such a, I

01:06:21.230 --> 01:06:24.369
can hear the horns. I can hear everything of

01:06:24.369 --> 01:06:27.889
this song being a ska punk song. So that's my

01:06:27.889 --> 01:06:30.369
last pick of the night. You're welcome. You're

01:06:30.369 --> 01:06:33.550
welcome, I guess. You know what? That didn't

01:06:33.550 --> 01:06:36.210
go unthought of on our part. I kept on thinking

01:06:36.210 --> 01:06:37.889
like, how could we cover that song? And plus

01:06:37.889 --> 01:06:40.690
I'm a massive wrestling fan. And so I love The

01:06:40.690 --> 01:06:42.630
Rock, even though The Rock is The Rock and he's

01:06:42.630 --> 01:06:44.250
great by himself, but he's also an incredible

01:06:44.250 --> 01:06:47.469
wrestler. And it's amazing that I've found someone

01:06:47.469 --> 01:06:49.670
to procreate with because I have a room full

01:06:49.670 --> 01:06:51.789
of like wrestling stuff and comic books and Disney

01:06:51.789 --> 01:06:53.949
stuff. I'm in a man cave right now that's surrounded

01:06:53.949 --> 01:06:57.489
by Disney, comic books, Kiss and music gear.

01:06:57.590 --> 01:07:00.590
So, but yes. So that means I have two more, huh?

01:07:00.750 --> 01:07:04.909
No, there's one song left. Oh, shoot. I ran out

01:07:04.909 --> 01:07:07.550
of fingers to count on. Okay, so I'm going to

01:07:07.550 --> 01:07:10.929
talk about kind of introing our new single. We

01:07:10.929 --> 01:07:14.510
did Eye to Eye from Goofy Movie. Yes. I think

01:07:14.510 --> 01:07:16.289
we all grew up with Goofy Movie, the first one.

01:07:16.670 --> 01:07:20.630
And just even as much as recently, I was watching

01:07:20.630 --> 01:07:23.010
it with my son. And, you know, they're getting

01:07:23.010 --> 01:07:26.269
ready to go on this BS vacation that, you know,

01:07:26.289 --> 01:07:28.739
Max doesn't want to go on. And Goofy's like,

01:07:28.860 --> 01:07:30.880
what do you think, Max? He's like, oh, God, Dad,

01:07:30.900 --> 01:07:32.300
I just want to get to the Powerline concert.

01:07:33.159 --> 01:07:35.480
Well, my son, this guy right here, can you see

01:07:35.480 --> 01:07:38.340
him? Yes, I can. Okay. Told you he'd make an

01:07:38.340 --> 01:07:40.940
appearance. He's like, Dad, I don't think I ever

01:07:40.940 --> 01:07:42.579
want to go on a vacation like this with you.

01:07:42.820 --> 01:07:44.559
And then at the end of the movie, he goes, Dad,

01:07:44.639 --> 01:07:46.360
I want to go on a vacation like this with you.

01:07:46.519 --> 01:07:51.960
It's like, all right, I'm done. I'm done. Parenting,

01:07:51.960 --> 01:07:54.679
you're doing it right. Exactly. And it's like,

01:07:54.760 --> 01:07:56.739
that's what I was coming back to before about.

01:07:57.549 --> 01:08:00.730
Disney having an effect on you in so many different

01:08:00.730 --> 01:08:03.570
aspects of your life. Like as a kid, you love

01:08:03.570 --> 01:08:06.150
Disney in one way. As an adult, you love Disney

01:08:06.150 --> 01:08:09.750
in a different way. As a partner, you love Disney

01:08:09.750 --> 01:08:11.809
in a different way. As a father, a mother, you

01:08:11.809 --> 01:08:13.389
love Disney in a different way. You have different

01:08:13.389 --> 01:08:15.929
reasons to love these things. And I think we

01:08:15.929 --> 01:08:20.689
all love Goof Troop. 100%. Goof Troop. Represent.

01:08:21.510 --> 01:08:23.770
And what I'm going to do is instead of chiming

01:08:23.770 --> 01:08:28.079
in. I've received permission in advance to play

01:08:28.079 --> 01:08:32.380
a clip of Eye to Eye from the Suburban Legends.

01:08:33.079 --> 01:08:35.600
How dare you? Did you get it from Pirate Bay?

01:08:36.079 --> 01:08:41.460
Napster? Did someone post it on MySpace? It was

01:08:41.460 --> 01:08:44.319
somebody sent it to me via AIM. That's legit

01:08:44.319 --> 01:08:46.180
then. I'll accept that. All right. Well, then

01:08:46.180 --> 01:08:49.739
enjoy this clip of Eye to Eye from Suburban Legends.

01:09:12.560 --> 01:09:15.779

01:09:57.159 --> 01:10:00.420
Legend's Crystal Ball, is there anything that

01:10:00.420 --> 01:10:02.699
fans can look forward to in the coming months?

01:10:02.720 --> 01:10:05.779
Maybe, I don't know, another Disney theme song

01:10:05.779 --> 01:10:09.939
cover or something? Brian, these are very in

01:10:09.939 --> 01:10:12.979
-depth. captivating questions you're asking and

01:10:12.979 --> 01:10:15.640
we're doing the darkwing duck theme song yes

01:10:15.640 --> 01:10:18.840
yeah we're doing that we did it i mean i'm sure

01:10:18.840 --> 01:10:21.079
we all grew up some of us grew up with darkwing

01:10:21.079 --> 01:10:24.319
duck and we did an awesome interesting ska metal

01:10:24.319 --> 01:10:27.859
take on the theme song oh i can't wait to hear

01:10:27.859 --> 01:10:29.880
that we've got some more gems coming out after

01:10:29.880 --> 01:10:33.430
that too so stay tuned I cannot wait. And earlier

01:10:33.430 --> 01:10:36.170
you were talking about something where you read

01:10:36.170 --> 01:10:38.630
for young kids and you do something called rock

01:10:38.630 --> 01:10:40.850
and roll reading. Can you just kind of let people

01:10:40.850 --> 01:10:42.289
know a little bit about that and how they can

01:10:42.289 --> 01:10:45.170
learn more? Yeah. And you can find rock and roll

01:10:45.170 --> 01:10:48.449
reading on, on Facebook and where I'm performing

01:10:48.449 --> 01:10:50.170
and you can find rock and roll reading on YouTube.

01:10:50.250 --> 01:10:52.970
Just, I have like two kids music videos, like

01:10:52.970 --> 01:10:54.430
Chris ground. I think you guys have talked to

01:10:54.430 --> 01:10:57.010
him on the other podcast. He did a video for

01:10:57.010 --> 01:10:59.649
one of my songs called big old gorilla. And that's

01:10:59.649 --> 01:11:02.359
just where I, trying to get kids to read, trying

01:11:02.359 --> 01:11:04.600
to get parents to find a way to get their kids

01:11:04.600 --> 01:11:06.659
to put down the tablet. I know it's a necessary

01:11:06.659 --> 01:11:09.079
evil, but put it down for a second, spend a minute,

01:11:09.180 --> 01:11:10.859
read to them because we all remember what it

01:11:10.859 --> 01:11:13.000
was like to have our parents read to us. Don't

01:11:13.000 --> 01:11:14.579
remember what they said, but you remember how

01:11:14.579 --> 01:11:17.800
it felt. And so every Friday in front of 150

01:11:17.800 --> 01:11:20.920
kids, I read books and play guitar and I have

01:11:20.920 --> 01:11:22.859
a little Britney Spears wireless mic and I run

01:11:22.859 --> 01:11:25.199
around and try and make the parents laugh and

01:11:25.199 --> 01:11:27.399
the kids laugh and read books to them. And hopefully

01:11:27.399 --> 01:11:29.640
the parents will go, wait a minute. this guy's

01:11:29.640 --> 01:11:32.039
a clown. We could do this at home. And then maybe

01:11:32.039 --> 01:11:34.800
they go try and recreate it at home. And that's,

01:11:34.800 --> 01:11:37.319
I'm a city employee of Huntington beach to do

01:11:37.319 --> 01:11:40.380
that. So. Unbelievable. Well, Brian, this has

01:11:40.380 --> 01:11:44.000
