[03:58]there is an nfl game this week what does that blow your mind there is there is a national

[04:04]football league game this week so we decided that we are going to have a draft another draft yes

[05:41]portion of the show your mom's not in your recording studio right now yet she is not but

[05:46]she may be coming in to lie down a little bit so i she told me that she said oh it's no big deal

[05:50]and i was like actually it is quite a big deal thinking about what we're going to be getting

[05:54]to especially with the videos that i have picked for this segment because a lot of them are about

[05:57]me being in junior high okay so we're going to do a snake draft okay which of course was my nickname

[07:49]oh geez all right so now

[07:54]i've got russell with a third pick russell what are you gonna pick in the draft third pick i gotta

[07:59]be honest with you guys rob mentioned we were gonna do this i don't think i've seen a music

[08:02]video outside of the years between 1992 and 1997 or 98 i've never seen another music video in my

[08:09]life so i am really limited to about a six to seven year span but i'm gonna kind of go in the

[08:15]same years that you guys were talking about i'm gonna take the house of pain jump around that

[08:21]music video is badass it created like the whole thing and i'm gonna take the house of pain jump

[08:24]around that music video and i'm gonna pull everyone the mosh pit jumping around for for

[08:27]like a dance thing i'm going house of pain jump around yes okay i'm i'm actually gonna pull up

[08:33]jump around i gotta see this video there's like a weird funeral thing going on at the beginning

[08:37]there's like the bum bum bum and then you've got everlast or whatever the guy's name is in the

[08:43]middle wrapping wearing the the celtics jersey it's just the cream of the crop i rise to the top

[08:49]yes yes everlast turns out to be a very thoughtful guy

[08:54]who knows a ton about hip-hop i listened to a very long interview with him on joe rogan a couple

[08:59]times too yeah he's a really thoughtful guy i think he smokes a lot of weed but

[09:03]yeah i agree with a lot of the stuff joe rogan says i think joe grogan is a lot of great ideas

[09:08]i agree now damn it i i said tell him carly's but tell i mean carly's crushing the world

[09:14]old school video and then all of a sudden all these guys are in this bar just jumping around

[09:24]drunk having fun house of pain this is one of the best classic this do you think this this

[09:30]singly made people like celtics fans in their life is watching these house of pain videos

[09:34]no no what i don't think so you know what it made me think of though this week like

[09:39]no i got a better one this made me think about how dancing at weddings is a young man's game

[09:47]like if i were to go to a wedding now and try to do the jump around house of pain or to go to like

[09:52]the like a club and dance and jump around for four minutes i would have uh there would be a medical

[09:59]a medical emergency that would go on with that there's no way i could do that anymore

[10:03]like when you were younger you would do that that was a a common dance at wherever you went right

[10:08]oh oh jump when when that song came on it was like yes in the first 30 seconds you're like

[10:13]when jump around jump around there for 30 seconds you're like okay i actually have to go like yeah

[10:17]i'm gonna head to the bar i gotta take a little break right now yeah well that's why the first

[10:22]dance at my wedding was slammed by onyx it caused all sorts of problems my mom got seriously injured

[10:26]well there goes my second round draft pick but thanks anyways asshole aaron to the fourth pick

[11:12]is my first video memory watch that one on vh1 with my with my mom back in the day okay and i

[11:17]was wrong wait a minute can i ask you what did your mom say when you said

[11:22]tina turner has nice legs i think she said i was right i mean i what else what else would you say

[11:27]it's an empirical question she does it's true let's let's see okay here we go also her hair

[11:33]in this one yeah there it is it's the second one down her hair in this one is bowie-esque it's

[11:38]incredible are we a tina turner podcast now like is that what we are i mean why wouldn't we be we

[11:44]should be after watching the the documentary on hbo i think it was amazing

[11:48]it's like just a

[11:52]she's walking i think that's roosevelt island for real kidding

[11:58]but the thin tie i love the guy in the thin tie by the way i started all these

[12:05]videos at 30 seconds if any of you sick

[12:06]yeah i mean the song's so good so some of this british see the legs coming up out of the subway

[12:21]clinch essential

[12:22]new york shot let's hear it matt i'm with aaron i would love to have sex with tina turner what

[12:26]are we gonna say man wrote the song came out with this really horrible pop version of it

[12:30]right and so she's over there she's trying to figure out her career she can't get a foothold

[12:35]after all the ike and tina stuff it's been six seven years she's over in england trying to come

[12:40]up with a new kind of shtick if you will and this group comes and she's like this is a horrible song

[12:46]this is just a horrible song and they so they basically said well sing it like you would sing

[12:51]it

[12:52]so then she basically came out with this version of it and it is what it is today selling 30 million

[12:57]records and yada yada yada you know one of the best songs of the 80s unstoppable it helps when

[13:02]your voice is probably one of the best voices of all time like legit i don't think she gets talked

[13:06]about enough with best female voices ever but when she sings you sit up and listen like it's crazy

[13:11]rosie you got the next pick you've got the fifth pick you already have what's love got to do with

[13:15]it oh we got we're not going worse to first every round it's a oh no it's a snake yeah

[13:22]i'm going to skip forward a few years to another video that made me feel a little bit uncomfortable

[13:26]in mixed company and this is janet jackson's anytime anyplace this one is basically soft porn

[13:32]it is a great song but um it's all about janet and her neighbor down the hall and their their

[13:39]dalliances and it's a it's it's steamy it's a steamy video this one was uh actually in my mind

[13:45]as a young as a young kid could you define the word dalliance aaron i've never heard this term

[13:49]i mean it's them you know getting to know you

[13:52]a little bit oh i think it's a kind of deserted old country buffet yellow stuff with whipped cream

[13:57]on top that little powder on top oh this is reminding me janet jackson made me super horny

[14:07]forgot about this it's a great song and then kendrick sampled it too yeah it's a great great

[14:14]track and yeah it's just a lot of like wayward glances and then all of a sudden oh their clothes

[14:19]are off here we go this is mtv at four in the afternoon

[14:22]okay so go to 53 seconds of this video and it's probably the greatest thing i've seen in a long

[14:26]time aaron you automatically win the draft can i just say this guys

[14:30]wait a minute wait a minute can i just say aaron that when i'm watching janet jackson get undressed

[14:38]in an apartment and then hearing your voice in the background that doesn't give me conflicting

[14:42]emotions at all that actually yeah so i'm actually gonna have to take aaron's audio track and play

[14:48]that at night when your wife and i are so excited to see you in the future

[14:52]separated and i have some time by myself uh with the high speed internet connection all right i've

[14:57]got russell with the sixth pick russell you already have taken i can't remember oh a house

[15:03]of pain jump around which is a which i can't believe you jerked into that video but uh russell

[15:08]what was what was your next pick oh well now uh now i gotta watch what i'm gonna take here if this

[15:12]is the way we're going no no no no no we can't i'll do the same joke no i'll take this one then

[15:18]i'm gonna take sir mix a lot baby

[15:22]got back there's the crazy intro where they're talking about look at her butt it's so big but

[15:27]then finally when they hit becky when they look at her butt it's so big becky and then all of a

[15:32]sudden they what are those rap guys they show sir mix a lot rapping and then they span out

[15:37]and he's just rapping on mountains that look like big butts and like what a clever concept

[15:43]i'm going sir mix a lot baby got back this is the greatest opening line of any song ever

[15:48]russell what is it what is the greatest what is the opening line of the song man

[15:52]um let me pull it up let me see are we talking oh my god becky look at her butt or are we talking

[15:58]becky look at her not that part or i like big butts i cannot it's funny too because this video

[16:05]came out like 90s right yeah early 90s here we go here we go did big did sir mix a lot start this

[16:13]i mean her butt it's just so sick there it is and even by today's standards it's not that big

[16:19]out there i mean

[16:22]okay i am looking

[16:26]that's only one butt it's two cheeks yeah

[16:43]if people don't pull up the video look at the background he's standing on this butt and it

[16:52]was like a piece of blue paper as the background like and drew some clouds on it is the cheapest

[16:57]looking you can tell in the history of music videos you can tell they're like oh man we got

[17:02]this huge ass that you can stand on sir mix a lot what should we put the background he's like

[17:05]who cares nobody cares can you imagine like the set designer guy like wait you want what

[17:10]wait the best three butts and a what and they're gonna be doing what and what's the song what

[17:15]the other great part of this video is when they show the various fruits that look like butts

[17:20]you guys remember that they show like the

[17:22]i gotta try to i'm gonna i'll edit this out so don't say anything funny right now but just wait

[17:26]i gotta show you the part where they're showing the fruits because it shows like a tomato okay

[17:31]so first of all he's in he's sitting in the butt now yes he's just sitting like in the crevice

[17:36]where is it you might have to watch this whole video guys i'm not lying

[17:39]russell you might have won this draft with this pick i had forgotten how great this video was

[17:44]oh and he has a huge mix a lot it looks like a simpsons episode and then there's also the yes

[17:52]i just found the fruit part okay 128 i'm sorry

[17:55]so somebody was like okay we need to find a bunch of fruits and vegetables that also look like butts

[18:09]and then it also has the white guy's got to shout where the white guy grabs his collar and goes

[18:12]i used to do that all the time to express my disdain with certain things that's a great pick

[18:18]russell uh matt what is your second pick

[18:22]sabotage i don't know i'm gonna follow that up that's a pretty good one again i'm going to the

[18:27]list that had that in had influence on me not so much this whatever this top 100 list is because

[18:32]i'm sure there's uh dire straits and things like that michael jackson's probably like a top 10 or

[18:37]something so i was gonna say that you know my era the grunge era had horrible videos jeremy

[18:44]horrible video black hole son horrible video what's no black hole losing my religion horrible

[18:50]video i mean even a worse

[18:52]i mean like you're watching like the most depressing thing in the world like jeremy's

[18:57]about a guy who goes to school and shoots everybody up like okay great you know losing

[19:02]my religion is literally just this guy who's like crying in a corner about something i don't know

[19:07]black hole son is just creeps me out well all these songs like are dark and creepy right

[19:13]so i was gonna pick because they is essentially just a live concert the song alive by pearl

[19:21]jay

[19:22]uh as my number two video i loved that video eddie vetter's jumping off speakers and stuff

[19:28]from second stage and so it's just it's a essentially recorded at a concert so that's

[19:33]why i think i like it but all all these other grunge videos are horrible i can't think of a

[19:37]good one so if you if our listeners can think of a good grunge video text into the becks line right

[19:44]rob yes absolutely and i will say i'm not going to pick it but i think black hole son should be

[19:49]on somebody's list it's a very very good video

[19:52]let's watch a live we could take this one off the board that's then what do you think of the

[19:56]nirvana smells like teen spirit matt that's one of the most famous ones yeah and i kind of didn't

[20:02]want to go with that one because of it's probably going to be like number top five i guess for

[20:08]videos of all times and so it's kind of an obvious one and i don't know that's the only reason i

[20:13]didn't pick it for my list you know like they say on the internet uh i had a hard time masturbating

[20:18]to this you guys ever see that maybe we're on different

[20:22]networks of the internet but yeah this video is just pearl jam i noticed that eddie vetter is not

[20:26]sitting on a giant butt in this video so that's therefore i'm going to give this video a c minus

[20:29]the video i'm going to pick

[20:34]uh is creep by tlc that's a good one yeah no no no waterfalls was like

[20:44]radio head even better no no no no creep in the dance actually depressing wait a minute

[20:52]meanwhile like i'm a winner could you could you imagine rob sitting in his basement with no one

[21:01]down there listening to radio head creep while he's he's taking care of business oh and it's like

[21:06]i lowered that's my my my parents got me that shirt that said i lowered my sweatpants for this

[21:10]i lowered my sweatpants for this can we make that shirt on the back it says

[21:17]on the front it says beck did it better on the back it says i lowered my sweatpants for this

[21:21]question mark

[21:22]and then it's a picture of sir mince a lot sitting on a butt cheek

[21:24]i mean tlc to me this i i know i've joked about like jerking it to videos before this i'm not

[21:37]joking look at these big satin pajamas they're wearing like these big hammer pants look like

[21:44]skinny jeans these satin pajamas they're wearing in this are huge there's an excellent deleted

[21:50]scene from the show atlanta where the

[21:52]the guys from atlanta put on the sub pjs and do this dance it's amazing i would have because the

[21:57]problem with this video is is that like you were like okay the video is four minutes and 24 seconds

[22:01]long that's not a problem she's wearing your satin pajamas rob that's maybe why you liked it they're

[22:06]big and baggy but then the problem is it was intercut with just pictures of a trumpet so then

[22:11]when i would go to band class the next day it evoked all sorts of emotion i didn't know that

[22:14]i wanted to have all right so i also have the next pick and i'm not trying to go on any sort of uh

[22:22]theme here okay although who would have guessed that this is the theme that would turn to do with

[22:26]me we'll see in the podcast imagine that the next video that i'm going to pick my third one

[22:31]is christina aguilera uh pink lil kim oh my god i think my mom's coming in ladies night oh no

[22:38]lock the door can't let my mom see this this was lady marmalade from the moulin rouge soundtrack

[22:46]this video was

[22:52]i was like if i go to middle school the next day i'd be like why aren't girls here wearing

[23:00]corsets you know what i mean corsets just body suits let me look at that i like how this podcast

[23:08]is just a bunch of us saying look at that guys go to 30 seconds in all these videos let's see

[23:12]exactly what we're seeing you sick freaks out there visual jokes we should have we should do

[23:18]one of those those shows you guys probably see them on youtube where people watch new

[23:22]new songs or new videos and they just show the person in the corner watching it like if you

[23:27]imagine watching rob watch tlc and lady marmalade or whatever this song is yeah it would just be a

[23:34]dick thing i've seen both pink and christina aguilera live at separate events they put on

[23:39]the show uh probably christina i don't know pink i think pink was better yeah i think pink was

[23:46]better i saw her open for jt and i saw her by herself once too okay so i paused the

[23:52]video at a certain point i thought my mom was coming in don't worry it was just my kid

[23:54]seeing the picture that we're looking at now oh you continue matt what's your next pick for a video

[24:00]uh matt by the way sabotage and then jeremy okay so what's your next video alive he picked a lot

[24:09]i was gonna go with uh again only because it was in my youth and i saw it

[24:16]like four times a day for months on end but i was gonna go with uh gin and juice

[24:22]oh shoot yeah it's interesting matt you talk about gin and juice i is that the one where the

[24:28]dad leaves and he comes home at the end of the party and kicks everyone out or not

[24:31]yeah i think so i think so i was thinking of dray day i thought i thought dray is the

[24:37]one i think of more more often or more than gin and juice

[24:40]which is the one where they open the fridge and all the 40s are in there

[24:45]that's what i'm thinking of i think that's dray day with the fridge in the 40s right

[24:49]no gin and juice what

[24:52]gin and juice the one the dad leaves at the beginning they go out kind of have fun

[24:55]and then they come back and the dad is like everyone get the fuck out of my house

[24:59]also the beginning of this they show snoop dogg is sitting or dray or snoop is sitting in the

[25:08]bathroom taking a shit and like i don't know why they have to spend eight seconds with them in the

[25:13]bathroom before that all right the pick the pittsburgh penguins jersey he's like you gotta

[26:30]this has got it we gotta come up with some good jokes all this has to stay in rob do you ever like

[26:35]are you ever out with friends and you're showing them like a picture or something and they're like

[26:38]oh let me see and then you give them your phone and then you're terrified you're like oh my god

[26:41]what could be on that phone or what could they type in and what could they see

[26:44]did i clear my porn history let me let me tell you guys a story i i was recently texting a friend

[26:51]of mine i had i i was i found out that on bitmojis you can send people dirty things with bitmojis if

[26:58]you spell it wrong so i sent a friend of mine my friend suzanne i sent her a bitmoji that just said

[27:03]cunnilingus with two n's and two l's and then i sent another one that just said big balls

[27:08]well then my conservative aunt was hanging out at our place and we were looking up uh caning

[27:15]because i was bringing up the guy who got caned in singapore and so then she was looking at my

[27:18]phone for an article of caning because we wanted to see what a cane looked like and she was like

[27:21]oh no and i was like oh no she's gonna text back something super dirty with a bitmoji but it's just

[27:27]gonna pop up my aunt's gonna see it so i was like oh my god this needs to stop right now

[27:30]terrible all right russell what's your next pick i'm gonna take one that i just remember this

[27:36]i completely remember the bumblebee one i'm gonna take no rain by blind melon that's the

[27:42]one with the girl doing the audition in the bumblebee suit right yeah that's a good one

[27:46]that is a classic video i gotta take that with the third don't understand why i sleep all day

[27:51]something about blind melon and me yeah blind melon is one of the bands that i love so much i

[27:56]bought the album i know the whole album by heart it's one of my favorite albums of all time i've

[28:00]never talked about it but it's so good shannon hoon is such a talented singer and it's crazy

[28:05]because i feel like i'm the only guy in the world that is like a huge blind melon fan but if you

[28:09]listen to that album it's so fantastic and this video like his voice is absolutely incredible

[28:15]it's great yeah he died right didn't he die right around yes they had an album after this and then

[28:20]he passed away

[28:21]due to a heroin overdose this song is the crusher this video is badass i almost took this with my

[28:27]first round vic i would have been angry if anyone else would have taken it from me again though if

[28:31]you look they're doing this they're like playing out in the grass and the background looks like

[28:35]they're just standing in front of a piece of blue paper the background is terrible again it's so

[28:40]90s though isn't it like what they're wearing again like we all knew guys in high school that

[28:44]dress like this like yeah well i mean think about actually little glasses okay shirts i mean yeah

[28:51]they're tinted remind us of look at now there's a part where no rain is where blind melon is on

[28:56]student council they want to make the dance what was your what was your big student council day

[29:00]again aaron what was your dumb shit idea imagine it was a huge coup i got to i convinced them to do

[29:05]imagine as the theme for the homecoming dance and you wouldn't you can't believe how much better

[29:10]people everyone in my graduating class are they all went out and just did wonderful things to

[29:14]improve the lives of others i gotta admit that's a better theme than we had for our high school dance

[29:18]trying to finger somebody in the

[29:20]football field at midnight but

[29:22]actually our theme was dimly lit gym dimly lit gym uh russell that's a fantastic pick i didn't

[29:33]even think of that one aaron with your third i'm gonna go with my next one i'm gonna go i'm gonna

[29:38]go to tom petty and i hope i got this one right uh i'm gonna go with into the great wide open is

[29:43]that the one that has the the sort of uh flying over yep you're passing on last dance with mary

[29:48]jane that video that is a great one too no i know that was that was a tough call but i think into

[29:53]the great wide open is the one i remember watching a lot yep last dance with mary jane does aaron does

[29:58]love that one because it does involve him digging up a woman and dancing with the dead corpse but

[30:01]let's see what this video has i'm into that for us yeah it's like the scene where they're like

[30:06]hanging out over the freeway that that is that the one you're talking about i is that isn't that

[30:10]aerosmith haven't we already covered that no

[30:12]this is this what you're thinking of aaron and by the way thanks for doing all the research for

[30:19]this podcast i've only i've only put in hours getting this ready and you're like i think it's

[30:23]this tom petty video where like he plays guitar what yeah where he's telling the story yeah there

[30:28]he is yeah he's the storyteller and then there's the people acting it out and he's that he's the

[30:34]why is he dressed like the manhatter what's going on there i think he's the i think he is the

[30:39]right he's making it happen there was a video where he was literally the manhatter is this the

[30:43]one yeah or is this like a continuation oh i love this video because it's like literally he's doing

[30:51]what the song says it's so great he's like oh he's playing a guitar what's the limits

[30:58]yeah great song i like the storytelling i'll tell you what though this did to me what it

[31:06]happens every time i listen to tom petty which is i'm like

[31:09]tom petty is so good like i love to burn on tempetti because he does look like an undertaker

[31:13]somewhere that happened to pick up a guitar but he his songs are so fantastic and the fact that

[31:18]we haven't had a tom petty album yet kind of outrageous right like it's it's pretty outrageous

[31:22]uh we're on 53 so aaron that pick did suck what's your next what's your final pick of the draft what

[31:28]if you love reaches i'm gonna dig deep into the bag of um tv raps videos that i watched

[31:33]as a young kid and i i this is crazy

[31:39]the one that came to my mind was dos effects and i had to go with the first one that came to my mind

[31:44]you gotta go with your gut so dos effects mic checka that's the one that came to my mind is

[31:48]just two dudes rapping in a very dimly lit video um they have another video where they're carrying

[31:55]torches through what looks like a sort of dungeon but i always like their rhyme style and i liked

[32:00]their stocking caps and so i used to watch a lot of um tv raps late at night and dos effects is the

[32:04]one that came to me and i gotta take it finally a rap video with stocking caps i just want to say

[32:08]this is the

[32:09]second dos effects video that comes up when you search dos effects on youtube

[32:12]so that maybe makes me think that i don't know

[32:14]i mean you gotta get value where you can find it

[32:20]this was just like this is one of those things i was like oh whoa this is a rap video it's just

[32:25]dudes rapping hard at the camera wearing stocking caps that's my thing i've never seen this one

[32:31]before yeah no nobody has uh this has 200 000 views 210 000 views this is the least view that

[32:39]video of ours by one million i mean this is crazy wow what a shitty pick that i would expect no less

[32:46]this is like when aaron just took the putter in the second round they're like wait you could have

[32:52]taken the putter in the seventh round or just signed a free agent punter you guys don't know

[32:57]you never know where this is gonna go wow aaron you never failed to disappoint i love you russ

[33:02]with your final pick of the draft what are you gonna take my final pick i think there was a lot

[33:06]of good snoop dogg dr dre ones that i was considering but matt took those off the board

[33:10]so i'm gonna stay away from those ones no repeats i'm gonna take one that i thought matt would maybe

[33:16]take this is one of matt's favorite bands it's kind of in the grunge area but i think the videos

[33:21]may be a little bit weird a little bit different i'm gonna take tonight tonight by the smashing

[33:26]pumpkins you guys remember that one oh i don't know the video it's kind of like a little cartoonish

[33:32]it's a little not cartoonish but it's kind of got a weird vibe to it right it's the one

[33:36]where they crash in the moon it's a it's a thing yeah it's like the theme of the album if you know

[33:41]what the album cover looks looks like kind of weaves it together there yeah i like weird vibes

[33:46]again disarm that's another one that falls in just a horrible grunge video russell can i ask

[33:52]you a question real quick does this video have uh them sitting on a giant butt no does this video

[33:59]have two guys rapping with uh stocking caps on well let's by the way this might be weirder

[34:06]just to give somebody an idea this video has 68 million views

[34:09]it's like you're at the world's fair or something there's something weird going on then there's

[34:16]weird cartoons you got billy corgan or whatever his name is wearing the the tuxedo and the top

[34:21]hat standing in the clouds this is just a killer i love this video i thought this was so great

[34:26]yeah there it is the moon it's kind of like wes anderson-esque in a way matt what do you think

[34:32]yeah i i like this it wasn't really drawn to the video i think it's just so overdone not in a bad

[34:42]way though i mean it's good i i agree with you that it's good it just wasn't something that i

[34:45]but even the song it's not it's like a top 20 smashing pumpkin song for me not a top 10

[34:52]if you will so i don't know so yeah i agree with matt not enough guys with stocking caps

[34:58]rapping in that one matt what is your pick for the next uh for the next

[35:02]it's very hard to pick one and last one right um

[35:06]here um i was gonna i've got so many other videos that i could throw out there but

[35:12]i don't think we can have a best video of all time about it's getting a little serious but

[35:19]it's a good song it's a lot more recent than anything else we've brought up but this is

[35:24]america by childish gambino i don't know that one oh there you go might be one of the best

[35:29]video music videos ever because it's a great song within the

[35:32]it has is a little bit this was one that when it came out we actually showed our middle school

[35:38]students when it came out and kind of analyzed what he was talking about i mean it's it's so

[35:42]heavy it's so intense to watch russell you you probably need to watch this on your own russell

[35:46]to get a true view of it but so good so even even on non-non-movie days teachers are showing movies

[35:52]these days when i'm not serving lunch i'm showing this video i don't know if you can get to the

[35:58]first part just get russell's reaction are you watching this for a while i don't know if you're

[36:02]watching russell's watching that lady marmalade video on his own computer yeah yeah there it is

[36:09]oh whoa yeah hold on hold on 45 seconds you want 45 seconds yeah this is what it's probably here's

[36:20]the essence for russell oh yeah i don't like this i mean it was like a it's it's it's such

[36:29]an intense video it's it's crazy and by the way compared to the last one i've seen it's it's it's

[36:32]that to aaron's video this one has 788 million views compared to 210 000 so aaron goes a good

[36:39]pick still i'm telling you you gotta find value how many computers would aaron have to buy or how

[36:44]many time would he have to reset his ip address or whatever to get that rex x or whatever video

[36:50]up to 788 million there might not even be enough computers in the world for aaron to get it up

[36:55]there i'm gonna start working at it i mean at least there's not enough computers in the world

[37:00]to get for aaron to get it up my final

[37:02]video and this is not a music video but it is a video i send to anybody when we have a text

[37:06]message exchange and i don't know what else to send this is a video just on youtube it is called

[37:11]hot sauce on feet so let's just watch this real quick

[37:14]how many views does this one have rob it only has two thousand

[37:30]just for this

[37:32]and they're all robbed they're all rubs but if you send this to somebody and russell i highly

[37:38]if somebody goes hey i really had a great time i want to see you good just send them that video

[37:41]and if they respond you're in okay so russell has his head in his hands aaron has turned his

[37:49]camera off and jumped in his tent i can't see what he's doing uh this one i'm gonna pick for

[37:54]my fourth one hootie and the blowfish i only want to be with you now listen i had it on the list i

[37:58]have a lot of sexual videos but there is only one video that features

[38:02]dan marino and that is this one listen he talked about how much he loves the dolphins they make

[38:07]him cry they were in this video

[38:09]a lot of sports going on here i mean it started with sports center for god's sakes this is the

[38:20]most 90s video unfortunately it is a repeat of content from our joni mitchell album about a year

[38:27]ago where he talked about this video and dan marino starring in the video are you

[38:32]serious i have zero recollection of this you you've missed oh my gosh and he's winning a

[38:41]super bowl in this video it's a dream come true for dan marino and now they're golfing they're

[38:44]just playing all these sports what a great 90s video it's so great because hootie the blowfish

[38:48]is like hey we should just go play golf everybody's like yeah that's a great video and guess

[38:51]what i enjoyed this video enough where i picked it as my top four video of all time so uh i

[38:57]obviously won the video playoff let's look at the actual i'm going to tell you guys the top 10

[39:01]videos as rolling around the world and i'm going to tell you guys the top 10 videos as rolling around

[39:02]stones pick them michael jackson billy jean okay good video going one to ten or ten to one

[39:08]ten to one go for is ten the best or one the best ten is not the best i don't know what in what world

[39:13]ten would be the best russell that's insane that you'd even think that as you know on the rolling

[39:16]stone website it is a great website to use everybody loves it i have clicked on the

[39:20]appropriate page i am now scrolling down now don't contest as we scroll down the number goes down but

[39:25]the quality goes up and a lot of people don't realize that because they don't listen to the

[39:28]end of this podcast uh guns and roses november rain number nine great call

[39:32]great we're gonna be on the list peter gabriel sledgehammer i like oh i mean this is a big bust

[39:37]i've never even seen the video it can't be on the top if you are a vh1 head like me you saw that

[39:42]video one million times million times we got d'angelo untitled how does it feel which is just

[39:47]him and those muscles that i'll never have that i don't even think i have where it's like the

[39:50]the real cum gutters down there i don't i don't have those uh six bc boys

[39:56]hey there you go i had no idea where that would be at this point the list this is why i wanted to

[40:02]because this list is fucked after this new order the perfect kiss right what the shit i don't even

[40:08]know what the song is if the bumblebee is not on this list they just need to get rid of the stupid

[40:13]the website what is new order the perfect kiss could you guys even tell me what the song is

[40:18]i don't think so i think you're gonna see something later not later mid 90s coming up

[40:24]i think there's something that could be what the fuck is this wait a minute it says here who wrote

[40:29]this article it says aaron that's so weird

[40:32]yep it's into my moonlighting game for writing a terrible magazine childish gambino this is

[40:40]america oh hey job oh madonna vogue yeah this that has to be on the list that's probably a

[40:47]whiff by all of us if you go if you're at a if you were ever at the the bar or you ever had a

[40:52]wedding and a madonna song comes on it doesn't have to be vogue but this is that's how you do

[40:56]the dance you do all the hand anyway here's johnny cash hurt at no this i love the song

[41:02]it's not as the video second video i like the video but i think number two all time is that's

[41:09]really grown and i'm a huge johnny cash well i'm just reading what they say there basically i put

[41:13]it because it's all accidental this is the last time he's ever recorded in videos that's why

[41:18]they're it was very hard to masturbate to this thank you i love how rolling stone and rolling

[41:24]stone's infinite wisdom they're like oh rolling johnny cash should only have one album on the

[41:29]list and it should be like in the 300s but we're gonna put this stupid video up as the second

[41:34]greatest video like it just got an ass back literally it looks like he's one foot in the

[41:39]grave yeah and at number one and this blows my mind is no rain by blind melon i can't

[41:45]i was lying i'm just kidding

[41:49]it's hot sauce on feet uh no it is i was gonna ask if you could take lemonade in its entirety

[41:58]yeah i was gonna see if you could take lemonade in it

[41:59]its entirety but failing that yeah this one's got to be number one this is what the cop car is

[42:04]sinking in new orleans this is incredible and the head nods and the black hats

[42:09]it is a good video but it doesn't have somebody in a bumblebee and well beyonce is sitting on a

[42:18]giant ass for part of that video but i gotta say i don't know about that so everybody that was our

[42:22]that was our music video draft if you're still listening congratulations i think it legit went

[42:28]longer than the nfl draft

[42:29]thank you guys for saying but it did not go longer than our our fantasy football drafts

[42:37]from 2000 until like two years ago and we sped it up yeah yeah no which which which second tight

[42:44]end am i taking that i'm gonna cut immediately can i get out of that league yet is it is it too

[42:48]late to bail on that you have to you have to get out you have to get out by may no you missed it

[42:54]by two what's really fun is when you've gotten kicked out of that league once for not paying

[42:56]and then when you won nobody paid you it really feels satisfying that's probably my

[42:59]favorite part of being in that league i love it all right let's get to nobody's favorite part

[43:04]getting into the album let's talk about the music for nobody's favorite part of the show

[43:10]let's talk about the album you just said that oh yeah it's almost like i can't think of a lot

[43:15]of funny things to say about this part uh but this is electric lady land this is the only album

[43:20]produced by hendrix and it's so funny because he produced it and then at the end he took so long

[43:25]being a perfectionist with the song that he didn't have time to do a final master so he hated the way

[43:29]when it came out he thought it was way too muddy he thought it was way too much bass you know how

[43:34]there's in some songs there's those 3d sound effects where it's going back and forth a lot

[43:38]of the guys who mixed who mastered it thought that it was a mistake so they just took it out

[43:42]he was like what the fuck don't do that um this album spent two weeks at number one uh uh redding

[43:49]his bass player that we talked about before had his own band called fat mattress okay was who's

[43:53]i actually that was my nickname my sophomore year of college but uh so he wasn't there a lot so jimmy

[43:59]was the bass player he uh because hendrix was in charge of it he would just invite tons and tons

[44:04]of people in the studio so the manager actually quit because of that there were just tons of

[44:09]people sitting in the studio while they're recording and at the time no writing's like

[44:13]yeah you couldn't even move it was like a party and we're sitting here trying to record these songs

[44:16]which i think lends itself to this a little bit looser feel of this album and then the cover of

[44:21]this album i think goes down as one of the worst covers that we've seen yet it's i think it's

[44:25]absolutely terrible it doesn't sum up this album at all and the thing was is that hendrix

[44:29]wanted linda mccartney to take a picture of him and a bunch of kids sitting around a statue in

[44:35]new york city and the inside of the have you guys ever seen the inside album cover of this the inside

[44:40]art no what is it it's just 19 nude women sitting around and he was like i didn't ask for that but

[44:49]it's pretty cool he's like it's actually worked out pretty well and it's not like them covering

[44:53]themselves up it's like straight up nude women sitting around okay uh and i just realized i was

[44:59]so i'll probably see you guys later because i'm gonna have a lot more time to do this podcast in

[45:03]the upcoming years so let's get into this is it tastefully done uh yeah i would say so although

[45:09]all new it was a fish what do you think aaron tastefully done yeah because it's important not

[45:17]as much to be as much pissing as aaron likes i haven't seen it but i'm just now i'm going down

[45:22]the air no one's gonna make it through this part anyways it don't matter hey i want to really hear

[45:29]the music picks or the video picks wow rob picked hot sauce on feet what a big surprise

[45:33]all right so let's get into electric lady land and the gods made love for the first song

[45:40]do you guys hear that back and forth in the this is uh i know jimmy hendrix is a music god

[45:49]this is an abomination of an intro for an album to me i thought it was horrible so he kind of is

[45:55]doing these sonic paintings on some of these songs where he's just kind of experimenting with it and

[45:59]kind of said okay make your own album and he's like i'm gonna put this on the album they're like

[46:02]shit we're making this i mean this should not be a double album i think we can probably all agree

[46:06]to that but he did say i know everybody's going to criticize this song so i put it first to get

[46:10]it out of the way so nobody thinks about it so russ he knew what you were going to do jimmy

[46:14]hendrix could see in the future and he got you that's what i always talk about on my dates i

[46:18]talk about the worst parts about me at the beginning and hope if i can just get past that

[46:21]i'm going to be gold well the thing is i don't like going to my neighborhood night out because

[46:25]i don't want to be around people i would love to think that that's the worst part of you is that

[46:29]you go to your neighbor day hey my name is russ i have a great penis hi how are you doing uh all

[46:34]right oh wait no that's my bit that i have that uh all right have you ever been parentheses do

[46:39]electric lady land and this is where he's just tossing off little licks just like no problem

[46:50]i mean the jazzy nature of it you know a bunch of these songs is phenomenal

[46:55]yeah i gotta say the text that matt sent today

[46:59]i thought was so perfect of why did we have a jimmy hendrix album before this one i mean this

[47:04]really is like the quintessential like if you want to peg down to jimmy hendrix song i think

[47:09]are you experienced was him trying to be fit into a box with like the beatles or like the yardbirds

[47:13]or something like that this is him just being like okay guess what you're a guitar god let's

[47:17]hear what you can do and it there's so many different styles on this and it sounds so cool

[47:21]i i was he just i mean like voodoo child coming up it's just like he's a blues man i think first

[47:28]and foremost but he's going to play you the blues from saturn or somewhere else in the galaxy

[47:33]and this seems to be the album where you get to do that the most now we have crosstown traffic

[47:39]i love the left or right fade on this one too yeah this is a an absolute must have to have

[47:49]headphones in for this song right both of them russell you both

[47:52]sorry

[47:54]you

[47:58]just want to get a little singing here also take you take our listeners behind the scenes

[48:03]i may or may not have spent a lot of time trying to figure out the best songs featuring the kazoo

[48:08]and there are not many at all give it what's one what's one good song featuring the kazoo

[48:14]i don't know i even deleted them from my notes that's how bad the list was it was bad

[48:18]i love that idea he actually made his own kazoo for that song out of a comb

[48:24]and then on the thing it said cellophane but i was like you can't make a kazoo out of a

[48:27]comb and cellophane they must mean wax paper right like you can't do it a cellophane can you

[48:31]aaron you use cellophane as condoms do you think you could could you pull some out right now and

[48:36]use that remember in class they're always like don't use cellophane as a condom and i was like

[48:41]shit i gotta try that that's a great idea because then you go buy condoms and you're

[48:46]like they're so expensive it's so big right rob it's so big so big like i was like really you

[48:52]need a big somebody needs a bigger condom than this that's wild like i'd put it all the way

[48:57]down and i'd still be like super yellow at the bottom because i'd have all that extra

[49:01]i was like what how much do i need

[49:05]russell apparently there's a uh blind melon song that has zoo in it called skinned

[49:14]it's not on that album it's a different album oh how's the video it's a really good stop it's

[49:20]it's eighth on the list actually oh i think i don't know if i did that voodoo child

[49:27]so this yeah this is a slow blues then he's just gonna go to space this was a jam he would go from

[49:35]his recording studio in new york around the corner to a place called the sea and he was jamming with

[49:42]these guys late at night and he was like this fucking rocks let's go back to the studio and

[49:46]record this and then they put it on the album what i got out of this is i loved i i was like why would

[49:50]they put so much organ on a song like this now it is a seven and a half minute song but it's cool to

[49:57]play with these other musicians i i enjoyed that this is seven and a half or 15. it's 15 minutes

[50:04]yeah it's like a oh sorry i missed i meant okay let me uh that's a 15 minute song and i want you

[50:11]guys to check out the video for it's called hot sauce on feet i think it's really interesting you

[50:14]guys should check that out and is this the one is steve is this one is steve winwood playing an organ

[50:19]on this one i looked it up i believe it's the hammond organ should have written down the hammond

[50:22]organ oh i love you guys know i love the hammond that's so weird that steve winwood wouldn't play

[50:27]woodwinds but who would win if steve winwood played a woodwind you know what i mean it's one

[50:32]of those questions we'd all win if steve winwood would play a woodwind that wasn't that wasn't

[50:36]okay so moving that's my new bit is i'm going to shut down everybody by the way if you just

[50:42]ever need like a station like if you're putting in like i just need some music you know like pop

[50:47]whatever put in steve winwood station on a alexa or something like that that you're going to have

[50:53]great music for a long time really has there been anyone in the history of the

[50:57]world other than matt who's ever done the search for the steve winwood station

[51:01]oh for sure you think he's like he's like the perfect mix between like adult contemporary

[51:06]and like yacht rock and it just goes and that that genre goes on forever i can tell you after

[51:12]this there's going to be at least two other people that are going to go do that on their alexa right

[51:15]after this i gotta say i do love are you guys do you guys jam on pandora pandora is still one of my

[51:20]number one music things i love pandora i got out of it what spotify has just put pandora to shame

[51:26]you can have every song you want you don't have to wait you don't have to skip through shitty songs

[51:30]pandora is out but it doesn't it doesn't pick like new songs for you how do you guys find new songs i

[51:35]mean i know how aaron does he listens to the fucking radio but like i love pandora because

[51:39]it's got me into all these new songs that i never knew before i can't believe that's what everyone

[51:43]says they hate pandora and amazon music amazon music gets you new songs if you're just playing

[51:48]like a random yeah i know but i love that god i love pandora if you love pandora text the bex line

[51:56]i forgot if you love the apple 2 computer text the bex line hey wouldn't it be more appropriate

[52:01]to sex the bex line no don't do that eight four two two seven seven you guys don't get those

[52:07]you guys don't get those if you like rotary phones i get those i've gotten so many pictures

[52:13]of i mean pandora does have the immediate gratification pandora does have the immediate

[52:18]gratification you can hit thumbs up or thumbs down right away you can thumbs down something

[52:21]and skip i'm telling you i remember the whole new jams on pandora i just think it's so great

[52:26]all right little by the way if you love jacking off to jpeg slowly showing up on your computer

[52:33]screen text 802 you love 56k remember that shit it was like it's like oh yeah top of the mood

[52:43]top of the boob they're just like oh she's wearing a bra next all right speaking of which

[52:47]a little bit strange this was a song written by noel redding and you can tell he's like

[52:52]you know who rocks the beatles we should make a song that sounds just like them

[52:56]you guys like this one or not i did and the reason i did is that i think it has some cool

[53:01]it's not no red in singing which is coming up here i think it's incredibly but he's got three

[53:06]different guitar solos that sound so different and i picked them out for you guys listen to the

[53:10]singing i i like this one because i'm trying to figure out what he's doing is is this guitar

[53:16]overdubbed or is he playing two octaves together and i mean the thing with jimmy's guitar playing

[53:21]is like is it 10 guitars is it one guitar is it multiple tracks so i like it i think it's all i

[53:26]think it's multiple tracks as somebody who's made a number of songs it's got to be multiple

[53:29]tracks put together but the idea that jimmy hendrix would be like oh man noel redding this

[53:33]song is so good god fat mattress is such a great band can you come in and sing like that and he's

[53:36]like little bit strange he's like okay now i'm gonna add five minutes of guitar solo listen to

[53:41]this first guitar solo he plays on this just buzz just buzz up your ass yes

[53:47]this is badass but here he's harmonizing with himself right it's so cool i don't even know how

[53:56]how do you do that so then the next soul listen to this

[54:01]just a little light pluck

[54:05]right just a little like and then finally listen to the why we i know we're talking about the

[54:12]wawa pedal listen to this come in here rob do you have to pluck up and down that patchy inner thigh

[54:16]or do you shave or pluck man don't get me started about shaving in the shower this is a guitar

[54:21]i thought about shaving in the shower here in the lake and then i'm like what are they going to see

[54:26]rain like this but this this is wap he's been quoted as saying i love the wawa pedal because

[54:32]there's not real notes like it's in between notes that come out and he thought that was so cool

[54:36]yeah this song long hot summer nights

[54:40]it always i always thought this song sounded like they were recording underwater

[54:45]and doesn't he say something about a hot cold summer these lyrics make no sense

[54:50]yeah where are you in a hot cold summer i can't tell if i like the song or not there's a

[54:55]lot of noodling up and down on the guitar on this one matt you've talked before about some noodling

[55:00]on guitars what do you think of jimmy so far well it was brought up to this had a lot of noodling on

[55:05]it and i think i i think i was trying to figure out if this was one of the first kind of jam

[55:10]studio albums that's ever been out there you know with the 13 15 minutes uh songs or everybody's

[55:17]playing off each other and taking their parts you know but the the noodling there is a lot of

[55:22]noodling there's a lot of up and down up and down up and down instead of kind of

[55:25]um you know playing a bunch of different i don't know the correct term but but obviously it's jimmy

[55:30]hendrix and then he gets into he gets out of the noodling pretty darn quick and so the noodling is

[55:36]a lot of filler which i don't mind because it leads to a lot of really good soul solos on this

[55:40]album sure i'm gonna say it again if you guys want to listen to a great jimmy hendrix album

[55:44]go to your pandora and say jimmy hendrix live at the bbc it's his best album it's him live but it's

[55:50]not so much like jam band stuff do you guys agree that if this was a single album and they cut out

[55:55]some of the fluff it would be unbelievable absolutely crazy unbelievable or is this

[55:59]a good double album it works for me as a double album the because all of these these tiny moments

[56:05]where there's this fluff and then you hear something that you just i i don't know it's

[56:09]it's like when you guys listen to this podcast and then you think well we can't cut out something

[56:13]because there was a perfect joke in there and for me i i was listening that way this week and i

[56:17]would think ah this song's too long and then i would hear a tiny little riff and just go well

[56:20]that that blows anything anyone else has ever played out of the water you can't let any of that go

[56:25]i think it works as a double album but um i like the the jazz aspect of it i think he's kind of

[56:31]blowing uh pop song structures away out of you know setting them aside and he's going for more

[56:37]extended structures and taking longer solos i think um that's that's the jazz influence so for

[56:43]me it works but i like listening i just want to say that was i i and i'm honest here i think that

[56:47]was such a smart thing to say i think it's you're so like astute with your observations a lot of

[56:52]people say why the fuck is aaron on the podcast like he doesn't do anything he doesn't add

[56:55]anything but i'm gonna say that was really smart and good so nice john yeah i don't know why your

[56:59]wife keeps saying she could be at least a little more nice about it right well here's a text my

[57:05]wife has never said me come on let the good times roll this was going to be the song this time about

[57:16]hamburger roll but i love this song by the way just a straight 12 bar blues it's like yes give it to

[57:25]me yeah just a rocker but then it's jimmy playing it my favorite track on the album coming up and i

[57:34]know it's a slur we don't say it anymore we have gypsy eyes

[57:39]you can say i think i'm with you on this rob this song is just insanely ridiculous when it starts

[57:47]out it's like i've never heard anything like this before it's crazy good russell this is amazing

[57:54]this this intro reminds me so much of of black betty another song that i know you love yeah

[58:00]like this this is your kind of i can tell you what's not about that's ram jam's greatest hits

[58:06]i i want to say that this so first of all this song took 50 takes over three sessions this was

[58:14]like the song that made their manager quit he was such a perfectionist with this song

[58:18]this is also the song that i play every time when i sit down on a drum set let's go

[58:22]i'm like gypsy eyes

[58:24]all right somebody likes that but i will say listen to that song for the bass line when he's

[58:29]singing it's incredible and you know why it's incredible there's no ready is off with fat

[58:34]mattress that was jimmy hendrix on the bass playing that as he's saying it's i mean he's just

[58:38]guys i'm gonna say something here this is controversial i might need to edit this out

[58:42]jimmy hendrix is really good on guitar

[58:45]heard it here first burning on the midnight takes are hot the takes are hot tbd tbd we

[58:53]gotta get to the rankings before we

[58:54]agree to that wait till next week when we draft our favorite guitar players

[58:59]there's a little wah-wah pedal in that one right there

[59:03]so we've gone from 12 bar blues to kind of a psychedelic song jimmy hendrix claimed that was

[59:11]his favorite song and i think partially because people criticize it however do you know who sang

[59:15]background on that aaron i do not whitney houston's mom is singing on that one it was

[59:21]what inspirations right in the same kind of wow

[59:24]whatever they had people coming in and out but it was same group that sang backup for a

[59:28]on a lot of stuff right yeah wow yeah absolutely uh so rainy day now we're on to the second album

[59:36]rainy day drape dream away this is a jam i love the clear voice on this this is my favorite song

[59:42]you love this hot saps yeah it's a great song and all but it does start like with the cough

[59:54]seriously we even edit coughs out of this podcast if you have like the 53rd greatest album all time

[60:00]and the song starts with the cough you're like no it's good that's kind of bullshit isn't it

[60:05]that's a that's a all part of it i gotta agree because i think they're like we want people to

[60:09]know they're in the studio it's like yeah we're not daft punk here like we know what's going on

[60:14]we think there's somebody there i love this one i listened today i went back today and i was

[60:18]checking on miles davis's uh chronology because i i thought this this track and maybe one other

[60:24]remind me so much of or they made me think of in a silent way and bitches brew by miles davis

[60:29]and i thought jimmy was maybe influenced by miles but i think the direction of influence

[60:33]went the other way the reading of it that i could could find they definitely met one another they

[60:38]possibly jammed together it was never recorded but i think miles heard this stuff and this is

[60:45]what inspired miles to start pursuing rock fusion and and funk and i also read miles

[60:50]started using the wah-wah pedal himself because he wanted to sound more like jimmy

[60:53]and all that led up to i only want to be with you by hoodie and the blowfish i mean isn't music

[60:58]unbelievable that's why we do this podcast i like big butts and i cannot lie you know jimmy

[61:06]hendrix is in heaven playing that guitar listening to i love big butts and i cannot lie being like

[61:11]rock on man i love that idea by the way that when people die they're doing their job in heaven

[61:15]can you imagine i think he was kind of into like wafey english girls

[61:19]a merman 1983 a merman

[61:23]merman should i turn by the way this is the best defense to this should not be a double album

[61:27]here and how long is this song linked experts i don't i don't know yeah 14 minutes 14 minutes

[61:36]i love it i love i love jimmy's sci-fi high side russell you said you have a list of the best songs

[61:46]ever to mention a merman so let's hear that list right now i think this is a good time to do it

[61:50]i was thinking about doing a list about the greatest super long songs ever but i didn't

[61:55]want rob to have to download all the really long like 30 minute youtube videos to to play for you

[62:01]were mentioning jam bands i wonder where this came out compared to like indigata davida to me

[62:05]that's the ultimate jam album where it's just that was like 70 yeah okay because that was like

[62:11]just a guy in an organ being like shit man we gotta press this record right now

[62:15]yeah the part that everybody knows the beginning of all right moon

[62:20]turn the tides gently this is another little sonic painting

[62:23]someone's gotta call it out this is terrible it's a good double album

[62:29]that's aaron as paul mccarty by the way okay uh still raining still dreaming so this one he took

[62:36]that rainy daydream away and then he did two songs he's like you know what we should go back to that

[62:40]raining song chuck berry style but on the same album exactly

[62:45]let's talk about peter franklin

[62:49]yeah that guitar is talking to you rob that's spot on

[62:52]do you ever fart it sounds like a word like that's what it always reminds me of

[62:56]what was the last word you heard

[63:00]how you doing uh house burning down

[63:14]so axl f which i think we're going to get to eventually is a lot about

[63:21]vietnam and protesting that that's what this song is about

[63:24]this is

[63:29]i do love i love the guitar with the corny voices in the background it's just something about that

[63:40]with the hendrix that i just think is so great uh here's a song that you may have heard oh i don't

[63:45]know maybe every movie ever produced ever this is all along the watchtower

[63:49]oh i mean when this starts forget it like this yeah that's an opening this is one of the greatest

[63:56]songs of all time probably in the top five yeah i would put this at number two and bob dylan's

[64:01]all along the watchtower at number one i think that's probably better no like

[64:04]dylan has always said like when dylan plays this song at concert he plays the hendrix

[64:10]version that's i thought that was like an amazing amazing credit to hendrix where he's like hey

[64:15]hendrix covered my song i like the way he did it better so he plays hendrix's version that's crazy

[64:20]isn't it well he's he's 100 right because i think he is correct i didn't i was like i should look up

[64:25]that version and play in the podcast i was like no i'm not gonna bother to do that i was like maybe

[64:29]russell yeah let's just do jimmy do you guys know though the really interesting thing about this song

[64:33]is i read that jimmy hendrix only had one song that made it to the billboard hot 100 that made it to

[64:40]the top 40 one top 40 song on the hot 100 it was this song wow is that not crazy yeah he was a one

[64:47]hit wonder god i can't believe they didn't like that merman song you're right aaron technically

[64:52]he is a one hit wonder so we've talked we've talked about like whoever sang macarena the

[64:58]baja boys chumba wumba uh whoever's saying come on we've talked about one hit wonders before but

[65:04]technically jimmy's a one hit wonder and so what i thought we could do is a list of the greatest

[65:09]artists ever that are technically one hit wonders we've only had one top 40 hit oh wow

[65:17]come on chumba wumba come on chumba wumba

[65:21]chumba wumba is a lot like russell at that place in st louis where they're he's like

[65:29]i'm actually gonna have a lager drink and i'm gonna have a whiskey drink

[65:33]yeah sir you need to leave here that wasn't as long as it

[65:39]reminds me of the better times in that place so one thing i tried to do on this list is everyone

[65:44]on the list has to have an album on the top 500 so if it's a complete one hit wonder they're not

[65:49]even considered it's got to be a legit band legit artists that would shock you that they only had

[65:54]one technical hit come on chumba wumba still holding out before we go into like these one

[66:00]hit wonders though i wanted to see if you guys could guess who has had the most 40 top 40 hits

[66:05]of all time and it's a recent artist within the last famous within the last year and a half years

[66:09]in the last 10 years here uh taylor swift taylor swift correct answer is drake whoa

[66:15]133 top 40 hits 133 that have made it in the top 40 on the billboard ah 100 that's so crazy that

[66:24]he has that many songs at the top because you know he started at the bottom like but now he's here

[66:30]yeah so crazy russell's like what okay go ahead you must have a really big team all right so the

[66:36]whole crew is here the first artist on the list that only had one top 40 hit this made it to

[66:42]number one janice joplin me and bobby mcgee her only solo hit that made it to the top 40

[66:49]also a song that she didn't write similar to jimmy and bob miller who wrote this

[66:56]oh yeah you're right that's correct that is right but so we always know peace of my heart is the

[67:04]other janice joplin song that everyone knows but that was done by a band called big brother in the

[67:09]holding company i had no idea i just figured that was a janice joplin solo hit but it's not so this

[67:15]doesn't count wow that's crazy that's great russell i can't believe that's a great trivia

[67:19]question such a great recording the other really cool trivia question a few weeks ago we talked

[67:23]about how sitting on the dock of the bay was the first song to be released posthumously that made

[67:29]it to number one so that was otis redding a year later janice joplin dies and this

[67:34]song is released posthumously also made it to number one i thought that was crazy oh wow wow

[67:39]all right next up on the list we got to go to one of aaron's favorites they only had

[67:45]one top 40 hit this is funkadelic one nation under a groove it made it to 18 in 1978 yes

[67:53]and this is another one that's tracked in label hell you can't stream this anywhere

[68:02]on a legal streaming service

[68:05]so supposedly clinton would give all of the tracks with the most hit potential to parliament

[68:16]and not funkadelic and then he thought funkadelic needed a hit so he gave this one to funkadelic and

[68:22]not parliament yeah i i didn't know that about this one specifically but yeah that's why a lot

[68:27]of this stuff gets tied up in these weird internet uh rabbit holes because sometimes

[68:32]some some stuff never made it to to streaming services some labels sitting on it somewhere

[68:37]clinton's got a dispute about it i don't know so you don't get to hear that song as often as it

[68:40]deserves there was i remember there's a desk in old maine at saint olaf and it just had carved in

[68:45]it peanut the bass player and i was like god i didn't know people here were so into you know

[68:51]parliament funkadelic or whatever and then when they came and all those girls got on their bus

[68:55]to blow them afterwards i was like oh this makes way more sense to me you guys heard that story

[69:00]right where they came to say no and they were like oh my god i don't know what to do with this

[69:02]yeah and all these women were trying to get back on the bus afterwards and all the security guards

[69:08]were going do not go get on this bus they were telling him like straight up like you cannot get

[69:11]on this bus do not get on this bus it's bad news and i was like get me on the bus they're like sir

[69:16]that's obviously a wig so the next band on the list is one we've covered before public enemy

[69:25]only one top 40 hit this is give it up i know this will be one of matt's favorites we got a little

[69:30]bit of flavor flavor here

[69:32]this is the one that made it yep they've had four top hits on the rap top 100 whatever but this was

[69:43]the only one that made the hot 100 or the top 40 on the top is 9-1-1's a joke is that just flavor

[69:49]no that's public enemy wow that didn't make it that's i don't think so fight the power can't

[69:55]trust it 9-1-1 is a joke and shut them down were the ones that made number one on the rap list but

[70:01]they did not make the top 100

[70:02]top 40 on the hot 100 wow all right next up on the list is one that we covered one of my favorite

[70:07]albums she only had one top 40 hit she also died young like hendrix and like janice joplin this is

[70:15]amy winehouse we did rehab this one made it to number nine

[70:18]she only had one that made the top 40

[70:26]with all the re-releases and remixes that's true that's

[70:32]true poshnessy you think that one would get up there right i have to say when when people say

[70:38]is there an album on the list that's really surprised you the back to black is always the

[70:42]one i bring up and guess what it makes me sound smart because sometimes i should say chumbawamba

[70:46]they go i don't think they're on the list i just like saying chumbawamba guys i'm so sorry

[70:51]all right the last artist on the list an all-time artist that has to be recognized on this podcast

[70:57]that's only had one top 40 hit it's our guy back he's had a ton of hits and he's had a ton of hits

[71:02]one top 40 hit and it was loser it made it to number 10 for 24 weeks this is his first single

[71:10]right yeah this is good to base a whole podcast around a guy that has one top 40 hit we really

[71:14]did a great job i realized that thinking i realized that today steve winwood the namesake

[71:20]of the podcast russell this is such a good list once again but so the really cool thing so if

[71:25]you're going to look at it hendrix i think only made it to like 20 on the top 40 back it made it

[71:32]10 and was up there for 24 weeks so when it comes to being a one-hit wonder did beck do it better

[71:38]than jimmy hendrix did it better is that how you say it did beck do it better and then i respond i

[71:44]must have lost that by the other way should we rename this podcast steve winwoods would win

[71:49]with winwoods i screwed up the joke okay we'll rename the podcast chumbawamba chumbawamba did it

[71:55]better

[71:56]that was another

[72:02]i like it goodness russell that was easily a top five how does jimmy hendrix only have one top 40

[72:09]that's insane absolutely i can't believe that something off the are you experience album didn't

[72:13]make it maybe they didn't like foxy lady or purple haze none of those manic depression none of those

[72:17]made it doesn't someone yeah it's craziness that was for those long-haired hippie druggie kids that

[72:22]were listening to that stuff though wasn't like popular mainstream if he's up in heaven like

[72:27]sitting there with bob newhart and bob newhart's like yeah i crushed the billboard top 100 and

[72:32]he's like hendrix is like well shit yeah he's like hey did i ever tell you about baseball

[72:36]uh they pitch a ball but you get three balls

[72:40]jimmy hendrix is like trying to choke on his own vomit again he's like give me out here

[72:45]all right

[72:46]i don't think that's okay no okay

[72:51]i can only think of one person when i hear this

[72:56]all clogan chumbawamba

[72:58]that's it the hollywood hulk cogan

[73:02]what an amazing end to the album though if you've got a hulk cogan theme song at the end

[73:23]of your album it's legit listen if you're gonna fuck your friend's wife on cam and then later

[73:27]shut a website down about it voodoo child best song to do it to i say

[73:30]you

[73:32]maybe chumbawamba but what do i know uh i i just want to say normally we this is like where we end

[73:38]and we go do other stuff but i want to say they they played that song they were getting recorded

[73:42]for a documentary and they were like okay act like you're recording a song and jimmy's like

[73:46]oh guys you know that song voodoo child we played earlier just follow me along we're gonna play this

[73:50]and that's literally what they did in three they did that song in three takes like probably one of

[73:54]his most famous songs i've ever not the top song russell okay i was listening during the list but

[73:58]it's it's one of his top nope just what i said it wasn't not one of his top

[74:02]god damn it rob you suck as a podcast host all right let's get into everybody's favorite

[74:06]section the patented and very popular rating system

[74:11]oh i did find my kazoo list

[74:15]love roller coaster that was on the kazoo list

[74:22]i don't know if i know that one russell this list you're making is a top five list i think it's

[74:31]great we're all the way up to our

[74:32]rating system this is number 53 and we need to decide if 53 is a perfect place for electric

[74:37]ladyland by jimmy hendrix so listen we need to decide okay now you guys listen up to this because

[74:42]lately it feels like you haven't been paying attention to this part is this rolling well

[74:45]toned it's perfect at 53 okay this is so much not as good as station to station by david bowie and

[74:52]it should be back at 53 or is this a rolling groan oh we didn't like it it's a double album okay

[74:58]too many songs about mermants okay my fed i have two

[75:02]fetishes mermaids and hot sauce on feet so i did not like this album not enough songs about

[75:06]crosstown traffic we need more songs about crosstown listen i've tried to get downtown

[75:11]i gotta know what the traffic is well better tune in on the fives uh that's a radio joke i guess

[75:17]uh so that's a if you didn't like it it is a rolling groan or should this album be higher

[75:22]should we have done this not when we're all sick of the podcast this lady at 53 and once again

[75:27]we're only 10 of the way through staring at our three faces uh talking about the

[75:32]same stuff over and over and that would be a did this album get rolling boned it should be higher

[75:36]now of course we just saw the rolling stone website we know that higher would be lower

[75:40]on the website although farther to the right if you're clicking on the top part uh which took

[75:45]forever to load because the rolling stones website uh sucks balls so uh what do you think matt is

[75:51]this a rolling toned well toned rolling bone or rolling ground oh i made a little mistake i got

[75:55]to start over this is the patented

[75:57]i think it's a rolling toned no

[76:02]i i this is the best jimmy hendrix album there is in my opinion so i think uh this got rolling

[76:10]boned it should be way higher than 53 in my estimation like a top 25 album for me i thought

[76:18]it was great and again you are wrong live at the bbc is the best uh jimmy hendrix i i mentioned

[76:23]that earlier it seems like maybe you're not listening you're kind of getting ready to go

[76:26]to bed please listen to when i'm talking rob i i heard you i heard you i heard what you said

[76:31]but

[76:32]i disagree all right had to throw something in there because i thought maybe that was too mean

[76:35]what i said to you uh rosie what do you think i think it's great at 53 it's perfect rolling bone

[76:42]should it be lower or rolling grown it should be higher now in this case aaron higher would be

[76:48]lower on the list if you're going from one to a hundred vertically although not that's not what

[76:52]the website does i love this album i listened to it a bunch of times this week i i feel like i've

[76:58]only scratched the surface of what it's all about and i loved

[77:02]i love jimmy just really spreading his wings and going fully cosmic with his ideas would you say

[77:07]he's spreading his little wing i would say i would say he's spreading his little wing and if six were

[77:12]nine then uh maybe he could meet a foxy lady and then it would take him out of his manic depression

[77:16]and oh you just dunked it on me you just dunked on me people that's what i'm saying i get it he

[77:22]doesn't do that much for the show but that's why we love him he's great

[77:25]so for yeah i would put it above jimmy's other album that we've heard and uh yeah i mean

[77:32]when you said mentioned station to station uh as the previous one to this one which i enjoyed but

[77:37]this that just that doesn't hold a candle to this in my opinion so i'm going to say it is rolling

[77:41]bone it should have been lower on the list higher on the list lower number shit rolling it got

[77:47]rolling bone okay we better start over this is the popular and padded rating system

[77:51]oh man i'm so sorry guys all right russell what do you think

[77:56]overall if you're going to give me an album that's got all along the watchtower crosstown

[78:02]midnight lamp it's really hard to argue this shouldn't be a top 50 album right to me there's

[78:07]four or five hits that just absolutely crush but honestly i think the opening track is brutal

[78:13]there's the one minute track of random wind songs or something going on there and to me if you're

[78:19]going to judge the whole album that stuff has to be taken away from it so i love some of the hits

[78:23]but i think some of the fluff is not for me so just like the hulkster after he gets out of the

[78:29]weight room while listening to voodoo child i'm gonna say it's a good album i'm gonna say it's a

[78:32]this is rolling well toned oh i just said

[78:36]oh just wait i gotta stop fucking my friend's wife who hello who is this oh it's my kid how

[78:44]are you doing what's that you got a dwi in your lamborghini oh my god oh well but all right all

[78:51]those things are real you cannot sue me for libel oh yeah guys the correct answer is this is a

[78:57]rolling cessation this album wait cessation cessation listen it's

[79:02]so hard i actually the easy part is i can't remember what i've said for any other so they're

[79:06]all on the table doesn't matter to me this album makes me so sad that this was jimmy hendrix last

[79:11]studio album you can just see he's got this glimpse of like he's going to break past this

[79:16]trying to be like other rock and roll stars i would have loved to see what he was going to do

[79:20]in the next two three five albums you know getting into jazz getting into funk maybe coming out with

[79:25]a live album with miles davis like it just makes me sad that we didn't get to see what that happens

[79:30]i feel like it really could have changed music forever kind of

[79:32]bums me out man what a perfect way to end a podcast where we didn't even get to hear chumbawamba

[79:36]actually it's playing in the background right now finally uh so next up guys we have a real

[79:41]change this is very different for this list this next artist was a four-time nvp in the nfl and

[79:48]when he retired he had the records for most yards attempts and touchdowns he also won rookie of the

[79:53]year after being a number one draft pick and a star in a cross player college it's a four disc

[79:58]box set by jim brown star time wow this is gonna be bad

[80:02]zeroes we get back to sports wait a minute wait a minute wait a minute i misread that it's james

[80:06]brown you mean that guy who broke into an insurance office with a shotgun when he was

[80:10]high-end pcp to complain that people were using his bathroom well i guess that's cool too back

[80:15]did it better when you want to hear about the greatest albums of all time you're like they

[80:20]take games from you just sum them up as a guy

[80:22]some of the albums sounds like

[80:29]hey here's a guy who shit his pants one time in third grade

[80:32]i've got the podcast for you jack

[80:36]beck did it better

[80:39]russell i'm gonna ask you to leave actually

[80:47]sorry we're gonna need that table
