him, you know. All right. right. want

14:29

to make sure. to make we're doing

14:31

the cover version? the No, no,

14:33

we're doing the original, No, no,

14:35

we're doing the original. this this is

14:38

1977. Oh, okay. At the height

14:40

of the, I the height of

14:42

the I guess this would

14:44

be the height of the

14:46

punk movement At least over

14:48

in the UK. Yeah, because

14:50

one was the the, never mind the

14:53

bollocks, was at 76? 77. I think

14:55

it was still still at that

14:57

point that I guess it

14:59

hadn't it hadn't jumped whatever swimming carnivore

15:01

it It was going to jump.

15:03

I think that happened in that

15:05

happened in 77 It's quite possible over

15:08

there. I there. know. I mean

15:10

other great stuff came out

15:12

after well I just mean as

15:14

far as it being like

15:16

a big thing mean as far as it

15:18

was already big thing. had already invented

15:20

Ramone was already, he already invented it. Decades

15:22

earlier. Yeah, so there is a video, but is

15:24

a video, but I don't know that

15:27

we necessarily have to watch it. We

15:29

don't have to. Unless it's, noteworthy. I don't know.

15:31

I don't know. I mean, it's

15:33

cool that there's a video from this

15:35

song in 1977, but I don't

15:37

know that we necessarily would need to

15:39

watch it. I think listening to

15:41

it would probably suffice. think all right

15:43

I don't feel like using my

15:45

eyes so suffice. All right. I don't feel like

15:47

using my eyes, so. gonna put on

15:49

nitro he doesn't care is I

15:52

thought that was that. Kick back. Funny, and you

15:54

put on Nitro. Disc 5. Oh, is this on my compilation?

is terrible They stink. It's like soup.

17:34

Morbidally obese band obese band

17:36

members So have so based on

17:38

that not to throw anyone under

17:40

a bus but do you you not like

17:42

tad because of that? of that? Um,

17:45

I mean, I, I, are they I, okay?

17:47

17:49

indifferent Ted. Okay. I don't don't really have

17:51

an opinion on Ted. They're heavy guys.

17:53

I I, I think there's one

17:56

or two one or large individuals. Crow

17:59

bars. fat asses in the group

18:01

and stuff like that. Scott Stein has

18:03

said no. I mean, this bowling for

18:06

soup guy is next level. I mean,

18:08

he's like, he's the kind of guy

18:10

who would be, you know, buried in

18:13

a grand piano box. He's that fucking

18:15

fat. He just can't have it. He

18:17

said he can have it. I guess

18:20

he was wrong. Yeah. Somebody should have

18:22

stepped in and made that decision for

18:24

him. No, you cannot. All right. So

18:27

I've got it pulled up here. Any

18:29

thoughts on this before we get started?

18:31

Or you ready to do it? Written

18:34

by Ray Davies. I don't know. I

18:36

don't know if I want to get

18:38

too into any sort of spils about

18:41

the kinks before we start listening. Maybe

18:43

we can, I guess we could just

18:45

get into it. Yeah. All right. This

18:47

is one you don't hear on the

18:50

radio. At least not on the... The

18:53

friendly pop music. Yeah, the radio sound

18:55

I can hear it. I mean light

18:57

FM. No, this is mixed in with

18:59

Mariah Carey Yeah, George Michael and the

19:01

like I mean I could almost this

19:03

song might not even really have a

19:05

home on the radio right because it's

19:08

it's it's not as far out to

19:10

be a doctor Demento song if there

19:12

were if there is still a doctor

19:14

Demento program, but like that type of

19:16

thing. But it's not your standard Christmas

19:18

fair either. So, yeah, I don't know.

19:20

I could imagine that maybe like your

19:22

classic rock station or something would play

19:24

this once a year. They're not gonna

19:26

play it one in the morning. They're

19:28

not gonna play it over and over

19:30

and over. Which, well, we'll get into

19:33

it, see what we think of it,

19:35

but maybe it should be on the

19:37

radio more often. Maybe. Let's take a

19:39

quick commercial break. We'll be right back

21:29

So, got basically you're at you're

21:31

in Kmart in the 1960s. And

21:33

and this is kind of what

21:36

you would hear What would that

21:38

be? you know? Yeah, Well, they

21:40

have videos like that you

21:43

ever seen those on YouTube?

21:45

Someone Someone will take some Muzak

21:47

or some kind of stuff

21:49

like that and basically recreate the,

21:51

like. Two hours long

21:54

video, your in Kmart in

21:56

the 1970s or whatever. Now, how

21:58

do you happen across? I had

22:00

it on the background. Okay. That's

22:02

that's in my algorithm. it

22:04

the algorithm in you? Just

22:07

hours that a video like that the fact

22:09

that a video like that this thought

22:11

okay, this is check it out.

22:13

Pretty fascinating. you you watch it

22:15

all the way through? way through. I had it

22:17

on the Had it on the background.

22:19

Okay I don't don't

22:21

think it It wasn't like. You know

22:23

virtual reality where you're walking through a,

22:25

no, that would be kind of

22:27

cool. that would be it of cool. Was it was

22:29

real? it it was real as before

22:31

the whole is before the whole AI shot film

22:34

for two hours in a Kmart?

22:36

No, it wasn't film. It was more

22:38

just like a it wasn't shot of

22:40

a Kmart. like a was just, outside shot of a

22:42

music. But it was video. I'm just, for the

22:44

background music. Okay, I thought it

22:46

was for the whole thing. It's no.

22:48

When you said that I was thinking

22:50

of, music. on Instagram or something, you'll

22:52

see thing. Like, oh, this what shopping malls

22:54

looked like in the the 80s. And video

22:56

camera footage. footage. Yeah, yeah. like on

22:58

the escalator and looking around. looking thought

23:00

that's what you meant that someone

23:02

actually rolled film inside of a

23:04

film two hours. At least not

23:06

that I've seen. hours. At not yet. not

23:08

that I've seen. find it for you. camera.

23:10

We'll find it for you. Yeah. No, just, you that that

23:12

would actually, just the stuff that's

23:14

on on much less the rest

23:16

of the of the it can be

23:18

pretty fascinating that people put time

23:20

into that. put time stranger to love that

23:23

no Yeah. Yeah. to love exactly of that.

23:25

it's it's amazing So how much time

23:27

is how much to put a

23:29

still image image? the outside of

23:31

a of a and just say, loop

23:33

this for two hours? Well,

23:35

but for two It sounds Well, but seconds

23:38

of time about 30 to either of

23:40

time somehow track down whatever sort

23:42

of music would have been

23:44

played there or how do you

23:46

know down You're just taking of word

23:49

for it? Seemed like a

23:51

nice guy. and make a play. How do you know

23:53

it's authentic? You just taking this asshole's

23:55

word for probably Seems like a

23:57

nice guy to sky to

23:59

on. What's a of a with

24:02

this guy, this guy? It's texts

24:04

with him at three in

24:06

the morning. in the morning. So tell me tell

24:08

24:10

I can't sleep, tell me about

24:13

Kmart. What were the hot

24:15

toys at Kmart in the Tell me

24:17

again. I know I asked me again, I

24:19

know I asked you albums

24:21

available at available at Kmart

24:23

in the 60s. Quite possibly.

24:25

Okay, so that's what that's what

24:28

this sounds like. like. Sure.

24:30

According to some to some the YouTube,

24:32

we're just like, yeah, you just like, is

24:34

what it you know, this

24:36

is what it sounded like.

24:38

Nobody knows. Nobody remembers. you

24:41

know, there's Well, you know, there's

24:43

usually on a video like

24:45

that, there'll be one person

24:47

who will say, I was

24:49

a manager say, I was a manager from

24:52

1974 to and this is this is,

24:54

this is exactly like. like. Yeah. Concentrate on

24:56

on getting through the day

24:58

without relying on on. 10s under government, okay?

25:00

Instead of of what it

25:02

was like, like, the Kmart you managed

25:04

in the 60s, your priority is is

25:07

together. more than hot chocolate? Yeah, any

25:09

more of that hot chocolate?

25:11

more? man. You want more?

25:13

right. Yeah, come Oh, come on.

25:15

You over here. right there.

25:17

Yeah, you bring that

25:19

over here. We're going to

25:21

keep going. about going. What

25:23

just said Kmart was founded

25:26

in said Kmart was founded in 1977. Oh,

25:28

well. Thanks Jerry. Jerry. There's another

25:30

rooked in into something. something. naive Nick. If

25:32

on YouTube it must be true. it's

25:34

on YouTube, it must be

25:36

true. ha right. Well then

25:38

that would have been music from

25:40

the this song would have been

25:42

that would have been

25:44

perfect They song would have

25:46

been brand opened Walmart or opened

25:49

Kmart with the Christmas season

25:51

of of With this song. this song.

25:53

Yeah. Alright, keep going. going. So

26:21

Davies to me, it has

26:23

a voice with a lot

26:25

of character, but but in

26:27

my opinion, not a terribly Strong

26:31

vocalist yeah always

26:33

seem to be double

26:35

-tracked when possible, interesting

26:37

effect, a lot of

26:39

character, but their

26:42

songs when covered

26:44

by more powerful

26:46

vocalists? seem to, they're

26:48

like a whole other. dimension

26:51

gets opened up by

26:54

it's like wrote and

26:56

played a lot of

26:58

great songs But

27:00

it seems but well, but

27:02

it seems like to me when

27:04

the right band covers a

27:06

kink song It becomes a better

27:08

song. Mmm. That's not a

27:10

knock at the kinks, but I'm

27:13

just saying that To

27:15

me, to my ears, that

27:17

seems to have happened a few

27:19

times. many, what are some

27:21

other examples besides besides the obvious

27:23

Van Halen? The Van Halen

27:25

one, yes. I'm

27:28

probably gonna get people mad at

27:30

me for this, but Waterloo Sunset,

27:32

great song. I don't think the

27:34

kinks version is particularly strong compared

27:36

to some other ones I've heard.

27:38

I know Def Leppard does one,

27:40

which I think is, I think

27:42

it's a great version. Here's the

27:44

fucking death leopard butt kissing Yeah,

27:47

because they're listening Nick's been

27:49

trying to get them on this,

27:51

either Def or the k -mart

27:53

guy either or I'm getting

27:55

them on here I me guess,

27:57

it's in the mix of

27:59

this Bolshevik. No, Slades in the in

28:01

the category of a band

28:03

that other bands cover. the

28:05

kinks category, in the Kinks category, huh?

28:07

Well, only go up from

28:09

there. there. Definitely an an example

28:11

of covers being better

28:13

than the original, but I

28:15

digress. There's one in

28:17

particular that I think is...

28:20

that I It's a great song,

28:22

but if you listen to the

28:24

cover version, it's no contest. it's

28:26

no contest. No Return, which which is kind

28:28

of like a a nova, you

28:30

kind of a you song. of a

28:32

kink song? And there's my, one of of my

28:34

favorite female vocalists that I

28:36

brought up before, Babelle Gilberto did

28:38

a version, which is a

28:41

masterpiece, her version. version, which is mean, her

28:44

version. So I a lot

28:46

of character there's a kinks

28:48

are and there, the to my

28:50

ears, in, to my ears, less accessible. Beatles

28:54

slash stones kind of

28:56

alternative. Uh Which makes it

28:58

accessible? I mean they've had giant had

29:00

giant hits, but I would

29:02

say just mainly based on

29:04

the vocals, they're less

29:06

accessible than like the Stones

29:08

or the Beatles. or the

29:10

Beatles. But song-wise you

29:13

know you can't you know, you

29:15

can't, you can't argue the greatness of

29:17

the songwriting. No. There was was that one

29:19

Green Day cover cover on that Howard Yeah. Tired

29:21

of waiting. That was good. That was good. That

29:23

was a really good probably better

29:25

than the original. Maybe slightly, but they

29:28

did it. The same. they did very

29:30

close to the original, but just like

29:32

a more modern polished version, I

29:34

guess. like From the private parts version, I guess.

29:36

Yeah. From the when that was a big

29:38

thing, we had to get Yeah. Back when

29:40

that to do. thing. you just basically like

29:43

their to do. And you just basically is going

29:45

on the B-sides from recent years. Yeah. Now that's not

29:47

what I'm saying is not is at

29:49

them at all I'm just this

29:51

is just an observation is just an made

29:53

over the I've made what you're typing me

29:55

on the side over here typing me on

29:57

the side over here on the text messages I think it's

29:59

just think it's a matter

30:01

of taste. mean, obviously, the

30:03

Van Halen cover, if you

30:05

really got me, was iconic

30:07

about the original, since we

30:10

were talking about punk rock

30:12

earlier. A lot of people

30:14

consider that to be the

30:16

template for punk rock, with

30:18

the nasty distorted guitars and

30:20

the attitude behind it. Yeah,

30:22

I mean, there is definitely

30:24

a punky flare way before

30:26

punk was a thing going

30:28

on. That attitude and sound,

30:30

you know. The fuzz, just

30:33

the big fuzz -y sound. Yeah,

30:35

and the legend has it

30:37

it was a speaker cone

30:39

slashed with a razor blade,

30:41

gave you that sound or

30:43

whatever. Which I have done.

30:45

On purpose? Yeah. And did

30:47

it work? It gave it

30:49

some fuzz. I did it

30:51

to a really small amp,

30:53

just to see, because I

30:55

remember hearing that somewhere. Please

30:58

tell me you didn't hack

31:00

up a pile speaker. No,

31:02

no. It was

31:04

a pile with an eye.

31:06

It would be like pouring

31:08

lighter fluid on a $5

31:10

,000 Gibson, you just can't

31:12

do it. Can't have a

31:14

fat ass in your band

31:16

and you can't slice up

31:18

a pile speaker cone. You

31:20

probably literally can't slice a

31:22

pile speaker cone. It's impossible.

31:24

Too durable. Too well made.

31:26

Alright, let's continue. Knocked

31:42

his reindeer to the floor.

31:44

So for those who are

31:46

not familiar, basically, guy's a

31:48

department store Santa, and

31:51

he got mugged. Yeah, it's

31:54

messed up. That is pretty

31:56

messed up. Yeah, so with that,

31:58

I'm assuming in this context, text

32:00

that would a charity thing right? Like a,

32:02

almost like a a army kind

32:04

of Army kind of or just that what

32:07

you- for the store. just working for

32:09

know coming. Oh, okay. Like, you know, come money

32:11

I was thinking they took

32:13

like his did they say they

32:15

took thinking they I'm thinking a- Did they say

32:17

they shit money? I mugged him. I'm thinking mugged,

32:20

He took his reindeer with them

32:22

me your it over his it over

32:24

He took his and what are you

32:26

gonna do with a reindeer, he took

32:28

his reindeer. I mean, what is it? Just is

32:30

it? shit over and and send a message to

32:32

gang of kids will take a will take

32:34

a they will. Yeah, they will. You got a

32:36

good point there just to fucking destroy

32:39

it or piss on it or

32:41

whatever, but there's no value to it.

32:43

Put it in someone's yard and

32:45

light it on fire. I

32:47

mean, a mugging involves

32:49

stealing someone's stealing someone's you

32:52

know. Yeah. You know. Well,

32:54

that's... this is a

32:56

obviously it's coming

32:58

from a coming of

33:01

view with the kinks,

33:03

but point this song

33:05

about with the Kinks, but

33:07

they hate song about Philadelphia? Don't

33:09

they hate Santa in during

33:12

one eagle, They mean they

33:14

threw what? Snowballs. Snowballs at Santa? During

33:16

are so I mean, it's

33:18

probably all the time. The cops

33:52

33:56

pride in the place,

34:28

the first store with the

34:30

Kmart name was the Kmart name

34:32

they became Well they became incorporated 1970s. So I

34:34

So back when they were

34:36

punk rock in the when

34:38

before they sold out in the 60s

34:40

They had to be P in some Santa. to

35:14

be P in some of those.

35:16

Batteries? Really? that what it was? I mean,

35:19

I think there was a I think there of

35:21

combination of things, but a rather

35:23

get with a snowball than a

35:25

battery. so that's much worse. Unless there's

35:27

a battery in the ice in the ice

35:29

ball. You You guys ever do anything

35:31

like that? No. that? No. What kind of

35:33

of person do you think you're

35:35

dealing you think gonna tell a story. Uh -oh. I'm

35:37

time, tell a I don't know. One time, the kids

35:39

back here we were gonna go to soccer

35:41

practice or something but like got dropped off

35:43

there and then was gonna go do something

35:45

but just you know like when you're just

35:47

bored waiting to go somewhere just stand in

35:49

there. So I picked up a rock go do

35:51

it in a But time I ever did this

35:53

in my life just randomly threw it waiting

35:56

to go somewhere, just standing

35:58

there. Oh no. I said all right right, let's get in this

36:00

van. What was it? It was it? It was

36:02

a basement window a couple Is down. you

36:04

Oh no. in the middle of winter is to have only

36:06

sound you out in the middle of thing I

36:09

to have a window busted out in

36:11

your house. is thing I find most

36:13

egregious about your story is you said

36:15

it was soccer practice and then you

36:17

found snow on the ground. was it was

36:19

indoor soccer. I can can remember exactly what

36:21

it was. it was, yeah. I know what house, house.

36:23

I could go to the house tomorrow

36:26

and tell them I'm sorry. My name

36:28

is I'm It might just be happening. Earl, it

36:30

years ago or whatever it was over.

36:32

32 years a snowball and I wasn't

36:34

man enough to tell you that I

36:36

did and I wasn't man got in a

36:38

van and sat there in the dark

36:40

got in a van and for the in the of

36:42

my drive us to the father of my

36:44

in the van. Quite a revelation. us to

36:47

soccer. Dude, It's all made up. Yeah,

36:49

it's all made up. So,

37:12

yeah, it's got, as

37:14

people will hear in

37:17

a got, of days

37:19

people will hear in a couple

37:21

of days after this recording. got a It's

37:23

got a it, which it,

37:25

which is pretty potent, I

37:27

would say. say. Basically,

37:30

they're people who are like in

37:32

need. are like in need, like,

37:34

big time. Yeah. It's

37:36

a it's an is an interesting way

37:39

to to put it though they're

37:41

like like thug know know

37:43

Knowing that it's a I mean I

37:45

guess unless mean, I guess unless they're

37:47

mistaking him for the real Santa real

37:49

and they just think he and they

37:51

failed miserably at what he is supposed

37:53

to be giving. he is I

37:55

don't know. be giving I don't know but

37:58

the fact fact that he's getting mugged

38:00

by a bunch of kids. makes

38:02

me think of kind of

38:04

messed up. I

38:07

forget what website it was but it was

38:09

a thing a few years back where it

38:11

was like how many how

38:13

many kindergartners could you survive

38:15

attacking you? Have you ever

38:17

seen that? I've heard people say,

38:19

ask that question. that, yeah. Yeah,

38:21

like comment, you know, Yeah. How

38:23

many five -year -olds could you take

38:25

or whatever? Yeah, yeah. Yeah, stuff

38:27

like that. It's kind of conjuring

38:29

this up. But so it's got

38:32

it's got a edge to it,

38:34

content -wise and lyrically. and musically, too.

38:36

It's got some pretty cool stuff

38:38

going on with the, especially the

38:40

distorted guitar parts. I

38:43

am guessing are pedals. Now I

38:45

know some people out there. So people

38:47

hate me pedals yeah I have

38:49

no problem with pedals we've heard of

38:51

that kind of claim happening um

38:53

you know at this point though in

38:55

the song our

38:58

Is the, whatever the guy telling

39:00

the story, has he revealed

39:02

that there's anything? to these kids being

39:05

in need or they just pieces of

39:07

shit so far. Hmm,

39:10

that's don't think he's at this point. I

39:12

don't think he said anything. It's just some

39:14

kids said give me your bread Don't make

39:16

us annoyed. I I mean, I guess the

39:18

little give the toys to the little rich

39:20

boys Yeah, basically that implies that kind of

39:22

exposes that I would say okay cuz I'm

39:25

thinking you could just say I don't want

39:27

any toys I want some money so I

39:29

can go buy some booze and some cigarettes

39:31

I'm gonna punch your lights out if you

39:33

suppose that's true Why do you have to

39:35

disclose what you're going do with the money

39:37

just give me your fucking money and that's

39:39

it it. Yeah, but I'm saying at this

39:41

point in the song he didn't say that these

39:43

are kids in need. He just said these kids

39:45

are robbing me So

39:47

well, Nick said there are kids Nick

39:49

said that that was what he

39:51

was saying Nick's heard the song a

39:53

million times has come to this

39:55

conclusion. We also discussed this reason to

39:57

see making an artistic decision

40:00

to reveal more as the more as the

40:02

song goes on. To make you feel like,

40:04

oh, these are pieces of shit. Oh,

40:06

maybe they're not pieces of shit. shit I

40:09

think saying saying about the little rich boys,

40:11

kind of, boys kind of a separation there between

40:13

these kids that are robbing him. these kids

40:15

that are robbing rich boys.

40:17

quote unquote little rich boys continue.

40:19

continue So

40:32

Steve

40:34

Austin

40:36

outfit,

40:38

leather

40:41

a Steve Austin outfit so

40:43

40:59

Steve Austin being hot. have back

41:01

in the day. the day. Steve

41:03

Austin action figure on

41:05

the other hand. That was

41:07

hot. was desirable. Everybody

41:09

had to have one. had to Had

41:11

the bionic eye, the bionic arm,

41:13

all that stuff. That was a

41:15

big one back in the day. back

41:17

in the no cuddly toy for sister,

41:20

no for sister, no A jigsaw, I'm

41:22

guessing a puzzle, not an actual yep.

41:24

A jigsaw, I'm I was thinking why

41:26

is there a power tool in

41:28

here, except for dad or something,

41:30

but. Yeah. Okay, saw. Oh you mean

41:32

a puzzle. I was all

41:35

right. why is there a power

41:37

tool in there? Is

41:39

that for dad or

41:41

something? Yeah. Okay, yeah,

41:43

you mean a puzzle.

41:46

I gotcha. All right.

41:50

He's got lots of miles to feel. Yeah,

42:03

these are, these are,

42:05

desperate people You can also

42:07

scare all the kids on

42:10

the street by dropping bombs on

42:12

them from helicopter My goodness,

42:14

I would do it too. or

42:16

a or a coincidentally that

42:18

incident happened in 1985 the year

42:20

was by bowling for soup

42:23

and song is that what they

42:25

were celebrating in that song

42:27

It's possible. I think they, I

42:29

think they glossed over that

42:31

incident in favor of some general

42:34

80s nostalgia, okay Yeah, it happened

42:36

about a month before I graduated

42:38

high school. Big

42:40

news at the time. Or

42:43

is that swept into the

42:45

road? I I didn't hear any.

42:47

I don't remember hearing anything

42:49

about it until fairly recently, because

42:51

there's been some legal or

42:53

settlements after the fact, but. That's

42:56

it. I'd be curious

42:59

to know the. alleged justification

43:01

for such a Well,

43:03

there's a big big

43:05

background about it, racially,

43:07

you know. driven,

43:10

but Well,

43:13

in, in, in,

43:15

in sunny news, Lee Major's still

43:17

with us. just, I just wanted

43:19

to make sure. Oh, Oh, good.

43:21

Hmm. How old is he? 80

43:23

something. He's, uh, he's 85. Is

43:26

that show was 85? 85. 85.

43:28

Recurring, uh, theme here. Ocho I

43:30

hope I get little little Ocho

43:32

Cinco toy under the tree this

43:34

year. Now can you use, is

43:36

is anything about the, uh, is

43:38

there any merchandise with the million

43:41

that you can use to frighten

43:43

people in the street as these

43:45

children? are, want to do in

43:47

the song, or would an action

43:49

figure be menacing enough to shake

43:51

someone down with? Yeah, I don't

43:53

know anything about that show, so

43:56

I don't know what items even

43:58

existed from it. Well,

44:00

was it like a a stretch

44:02

armstrong type of thing?

44:04

He beat the shit out

44:06

of someone He beat the shit out

44:09

of Well, he it. Could be. Well,

44:11

he by the government by the

44:13

government and had these, you limbs and

44:15

an eyeball and stuff

44:17

that he could do that he

44:19

could do, you know, things with, ideally

44:21

in the name of justice of the American

44:23

way. American way. You've of You've heard of the

44:26

show, though. Yeah, I've heard of it,

44:28

and I know there's some noise that he

44:30

made when he did. certain things. did I

44:32

think I've heard more people think I've that

44:34

people Do that the show. see the show right

44:36

that I don't even want to

44:38

try it, but yeah, that

44:40

little noise it But yeah that little said,

44:43

his eyeball activation. he said his eyeball stuff.

44:45

right? Yeah, all that stuff. Yeah, well, yeah I I

44:47

only know him from the fall of

44:49

guys. the in the psychocam addiction. Is that is

44:51

that that's that on? that's based

44:53

on? Well, it's kind of similar

44:55

to whenever they would cut

44:58

to his bionic eye. you'd see like a

45:00

cross hairs and like like a in and

45:02

stuff. Yep. probably was the was the

45:04

inspiration. the readouts know. the corner. Okay. Wasn't

45:06

that sort of what they did in

45:08

Terminator also they would show his his point? Like

45:10

he people and would say like You

45:12

know if it was a if or

45:14

whatever threat or a little a but I

45:16

don't know if it's exactly what he

45:18

saw robo Cop he saw. like they

45:20

just took the script for script six million dollar man

45:22

and I think that's it's a documentary

45:24

a Detroit in Detroit though. Oh yeah. took place

45:26

I it took place. I think that really happened. Hmm. wasn't

45:28

that the whole thing that it was

45:30

someone who was killed He was

45:33

killed in the line of duty and

45:35

rebuilt by the police force

45:37

was killed a the line of

45:39

duty and rebuilt by the police force

45:41

series movie like a out

45:43

called And that a

45:45

lot of kids are

45:47

into and movie essentially called You

45:50

know, that a lot of kids are got

45:52

blown up And a dog

45:54

head on him. Yeah, the know,

45:56

they put blown got blown up. book.

45:58

I did not that. So a dog's head

46:00

on him. him. I just thought it was some

46:03

dog dog you know, know, it was

46:05

a a violent back no, the guy's head

46:07

died. guy's head died they put the put the

46:09

on step on. I had no idea. it

46:11

has sold millions. Yeah, I see it.

46:13

I And I'm going to have to

46:15

go see the movie, I'm sure. to

46:17

go looking forward to it, frankly. looking had

46:20

no clue. Yeah, but it's essentially

46:22

clue. Yeah, but it's essentially a robocop dog. the cop without

46:24

the robo. K-9 unit. Yeah. They couldn't have put

46:26

a human head. I guess they

46:28

didn't have an extra. The human

46:30

head died. they They had an

46:32

extra dog head laying The had his

46:34

dog and I think the dog's

46:37

body got an so they just

46:39

did a swap. head They played a

46:41

little game of he had his dog and I

46:43

think the dog's body got blown. Oh, so they

46:45

just did a swap. They

46:47

played a little game of

46:49

switcharoo. Okay. Okay. We're

46:58

getting into a lot

47:01

of stuff that sounds

47:03

like earlier 70s. Musically,

47:05

we're getting into a

47:08

lot of stuff that

47:10

sounds like earlier 70s

47:13

glam. Yeah. Which I think

47:15

we're getting into a lot of stuff

47:17

that sounds like the

47:19

Kinks Yeah, which I

47:21

think is really cool of the kinks influenced

47:23

a lot of those bands. I'm sure

47:25

and then you kind of see of see.

47:27

the shoe being on the being on the

47:29

other foot a little bit. Yeah. I like with

47:31

that sort of the with the snare

47:33

gym that yeah of the with the snare it seems

47:36

to me like that would of it seems to me

47:38

like that would be like a big

47:40

thing used in those bands Yeah I hear it

47:42

for passages like that,

47:44

really great sound the production

47:47

and everything. yeah it sound really cool.

47:49

really I mean, it's not, it's

47:51

still raw. it's still it's it's

47:53

Pretty like I'm I'm more used

47:55

to the older kink stuff

47:57

where it's pretty raw. raw

48:00

Like this does raw element to

48:02

it, but it, but it's it's significantly

48:04

more polished sounding by comparison. comparison I

48:06

Don't don't know if the original

48:08

version or versions of the song

48:11

have that. But I'm thinking of

48:13

the, clash I fought the law is I fought

48:15

the law is pretty much the yeah,

48:17

and as that. Yeah. And then

48:19

it breaks into a very similar

48:21

beat for the rest of the

48:23

song. Yeah, But I don't, I can't

48:25

even, I don't even know who

48:28

did the original version. version what? 60s

48:30

probably I don't I didn't even know who

48:32

did it back then, but but uh it

48:34

was the Kmart five nineteen sixty did it at the grand opening yeah

48:36

62 I the grand opening for some reason I don't

48:38

know the law for some reason. I

48:41

don't know why they thought it

48:43

was the crickets yeah no is it I don't know is

48:45

it I don't know No, is it? I

48:47

don't know could that be unless they did

48:49

Holly he they do he would have

48:51

been it says 1960 would he would have

48:54

been gone by then but whether

48:56

it's the same crickets or not or

48:58

don't know seeing the Crickets 1956. So Buddy Holly ripped them

49:00

off them off I don't

49:02

think Buddy Holly think Holly did that

49:04

song at all. But it's not a

49:06

not a different a different

49:09

a different of crickets. Buddy the

49:11

name. name. Really? I thought the

49:13

a song written by by

49:15

of Curtis of the Crickets and by

49:18

a cover cover of by the

49:20

Bobby Fuller 4. Oh geez, okay. So we

49:22

got a top 10 hit in

49:25

1966. another I'm seeing another

49:27

thing here. says, written in in

49:29

1958 by Sonny Curtis, in

49:32

1959 he joined

49:34

the Crickets taking Buddy Holly's

49:36

place. Oh, okay. There you go. Okay. go. was so

49:38

it was written Who the fuck they can

49:40

replace Buddy know But they had a

49:42

hit right away had a year that he

49:45

died. Same pretty wild. I had no

49:47

idea learned something today idea. Learn something just

49:49

had that in his back pocket that

49:51

in his and then as soon as

49:53

he got he got into the as

49:55

He's like I got this the song

49:57

here I got this... this song here.

49:59

Huh. I I didn't know that. It's like

50:01

replacing Kurt Cobain and having a hit

50:03

song in your back pocket. I mean, ACDC

50:05

did it that same year. That's true,

50:07

they did. It's been done. a hit

50:10

right, let's keep going. your

50:12

back pocket. I

50:14

mean, ACDC did

50:16

it. Yeah, same

50:18

year. That's

50:21

true. They

50:25

did. It's

50:28

been done.

50:31

All right,

50:34

let's keep

50:38

going. So

50:41

it just

50:44

occurred to

50:47

me, this

50:52

So it just occurred to

50:54

me this poor guy If

50:57

If he's doing the seasonal

50:59

Santa gig, that's usually not

51:01

painted as like... as

51:03

like high prestige, high high pay.

51:06

I wouldn't think so. Kind

51:08

of a job. of a job. So

51:10

guy's getting mugged. He's probably

51:12

no better off than the

51:14

people who are. who are... Robin

51:17

Oh yeah, yeah, they're not targeting

51:19

the right person the right person here. No,

51:21

I mean, it's it's and they're

51:23

talking about drinking down your

51:25

wine So you get the impression

51:27

of like the the British

51:30

upper crust kind of a the

51:32

you know, I don't I don't

51:34

think this poor you know I don't I

51:36

don't think is is of that Santa

51:38

is is that that class of society is the

51:40

poor guy guy guys They're targeted

51:42

the wrong guy. the Yeah, these

51:45

dumb kids kids yeah no education morons over there there

51:47

do i always say and zero do I

51:49

always say that's it big picture it right

51:51

53:29

thing. I mean, mean. It's rhythm lead

to vote. or Kickin'

53:49

the Croach. in the crotch.

53:51

this song by way You brought this song

53:53

by way of Chuck on the listener

53:55

submission list. Mm-hmm. What do you think? think? I'm I'm

53:57

gonna give it a sweet surrender. Yeah,

54:00

I loved it.

54:02

I think Chris

54:04

had speculated I'd I

54:06

loved it. a million times. had

54:08

speculated I'd heard this

54:10

a million times. times. heard

54:12

it a few times. I

54:14

It's not one that I

54:16

regularly punch up. around

54:19

time, but I think I

54:21

will put it on my I

54:23

think there. put it on my playlist

54:26

there. I I don't know. For

54:28

some reason it never really grabbed

54:30

me all that much, all but listening

54:32

to it right now and just

54:34

to it hearing it in the like

54:36

headphones. in the blue Oh, we don't have

54:38

to do that Or do we?

54:40

We still can. to do that still good

54:43

headphones. we? We still can. Yeah, they were

54:45

nice to us. Yeah, and they're

54:47

good headphones. they were still, they were nice to us. Yeah,

54:49

and they're like it more now than

54:51

now than I, than any other other that

54:53

I've ever had of the original

54:55

version. So. version. So. Yeah, a lot of lot

54:58

of nice elements to

55:00

it a great sound it, a

55:02

great A lot of

55:04

character. A lot of character

55:08

on with the lyrics

55:10

and the vocal delivery, going

55:12

on stuff. the lyrics a

55:14

sweet surrender for me. delivery.

55:18

So, good stuff.

55:20

Chris? Sweet I

55:23

mean not your typical me. Christmas

55:26

obviously. The subject

55:29

matter is. matter is, you know,

55:31

know, so out of

55:33

left field, so unexpected,

55:35

all the sentimental,

55:39

stuff you usually hear

55:41

hear of the... the time

55:43

during the time of year

55:45

so for that reason alone

55:48

it deserves to be to be,

55:50

know celebrated year

55:52

after year after year. Yeah,

55:54

it's true There's usually

55:56

uh somebody who

55:58

comes and pushes back. against when

56:01

there's a lot of sentimentality. Usually

56:03

someone will will break through and

56:05

kind of be counter counter that

56:07

a little bit and that's what

56:09

this song is. And it's not

56:11

just a rehash of an old

56:14

holiday standard or changing you know

56:16

some lyrics to one of your

56:18

own famous songs and just turning

56:20

into a Christmas song that way

56:22

it's you know. It's a little

56:24

more imagination character to it. And,

56:27

uh, you know, also just sends

56:29

that message of, uh, you know,

56:31

the haves and the have-nots, which

56:33

are, is more prevalent nowadays than

56:35

possibly ever. I was gonna say,

56:37

yeah. So, you know, it's very

56:40

timely. Never goes at this, this

56:42

sentiment never goes out of style,

56:44

it seems like. So, yeah. All

56:46

right, my turn, sweet surrender. It's

56:48

sweet surrender! Hell yes! Mmm! Sweet

56:50

surrender for me, like I said,

56:53

this is, you know, I have

56:55

nothing bad, not even for a

56:57

second, anything bad to say. I

56:59

kinda like when an artist isn't

57:01

great at singing, not like, he's

57:03

bad, but you know what I

57:05

mean when they're not like, uh...

57:08

some amazing technical singer and they

57:10

have more character. I just think

57:12

that's more enjoyable to listen to

57:14

and I remember I forgot what

57:16

show it was but there was

57:18

some Gene Simmons reality show where

57:21

he was casting a band or

57:23

something many years ago and he

57:25

said the same thing basically like

57:27

if you take all the great

57:29

rock stars of all time probably

57:31

half of them Wouldn't win a

57:34

competition for now being a great

57:36

singer. Yeah, I mean Elvis would

57:38

not have made it far on

57:40

American Idol Right like all these

57:42

people that you love. Yeah Jagger

57:44

wouldn't have made

57:47

it have made it. No,

57:49

not would not

57:51

have been even

57:53

close. not so it's

57:55

because it's just

57:57

not what so. Because

58:00

That's not what

58:02

they're farming on

58:04

those shows. No,

58:06

it's not the

58:08

type of vocalist.

58:10

Uh -huh, but shows.

58:13

No. It's we're listening to this I

58:15

thought of that statement and thought I don't,

58:17

it here because you're you're listening to

58:19

this thought of you this it's not and

58:21

You know, I hear it You're not listening

58:23

for it to be a technical

58:25

performance. listening to to this guy tell

58:28

you the story story. from his

58:30

mouth, the way he sounds, the

58:32

way he speaks. And there's something

58:34

to it when you know this

58:36

is the to it when this is the

58:38

is the songwriter brain it came from. this

58:40

is the person whose brain and what I

58:42

was saying earlier I was saying the episode

58:44

know in the we started the song, not

58:47

at all a knock

58:49

all, but at all but Yeah,

58:52

there's just the whole

58:54

thing about the thing about the

58:56

the proficiency of the vocals

58:58

when it comes to

59:00

the the vocals when it comes to with

59:02

ya. Yep. And look where
