Read ThisMy 2001 Hit Song, ‘Superman,' Is for the Hostages in Gaza - WSJ(I may try to get John Ondrasik, aka Five for Fighting, on the show later this week to talk about it and if so I'll share his article again then but no need to wait to suggest you read it.)Steve Moore is one of the nation's most influential economists, an occasional advisor to President Trump, founder of the Club for Growth and member of the Wall Street Journal's editorial board and, more recently, co-founder of the Committee to Unleash Prosperity.We'll discuss the proposed Senate amendments to the "One Big Beautiful Bill".

We'll discuss their lawsuit challenging the legality of Denver's insane and expensive new energy requirements that could end up costing more to retrofit a building than the building is worth.

This DISAPPEARANCE Became A HIT SONGBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/missing-persons-mysteries--5624803/support.
The mood can change very quickly in The Flood band room, often depending on whatever is the next song that crosses Charlie Bowen's rattlin' brain.For instance, in the first few seconds of this week's podcast, you'll hear the guys still laughing from the inside jokes and joys of the previous tune, while Bowen is ready to conjure up a more somber mood with some opening chords.Almost at once, Danny Cox and Randy Hamilton recognize the lead-in and join in on the 1950s torch song, “Cry Me a River.” Seconds later, Jack Nuckols is slapping a rhythm and Sam St. Clair is offering moody accents.Anything But PlebeianThe story of this song's troubled childhood — rejected in its first bid for movie stardom, initially passed over by the queen of jazz ballad, etc. — in an earlier post, but let's take another swing at it, this time focusing on a single word in its otherwise rather pedestrian lyrics.The bridge of “Cry Me a River” contains what writer Molly Leikin, in her book How to Write a Hit Song called “the best multisyllabic internal rhyme I've heard.” Specifically, the song rhymes: You told me love was too plebeian with Told me you were through with me'n'…“‘Too plebeian' and ‘through with me'n',” Leikin wrote, “are just as delicious now as when they were first written. This quadruple rhyme isn't just four syllables that rhyme, but four unique syllables.”But Jack Said No, And So Said MitchCool enough, but it was not everybody's cup of tea. In fact, plebeian (which, of course, is a snooty way of saying “commoner”) was just too highfalutin for many show biz folks.For instance, director Jack Webb originally wanted the song for his 1955 movie Pete Kelly's Blues, but he hated the use of the word and when songwriter Arthur Hamilton refused to change it, Webb yanked the song from the film.The lyric had no better luck at Columbia Records where the A&R chief — one Mitch Miller (of early TV's “Sing Along with Mitch” fame) — joined the plebeian haters and blocked it from being recorded there by Peggy King.The Stubborn SongwriterStill the songwriter stood his ground and refused to change his lyric. Wonder why, given the riches promised to Hamilton by having his song included in a Hollywood film? Well, writer John E. Simpson in his online newsletter “Running After My Hat,” has an intriguing theory.As noted in the earlier Flood Watch article, 27-year-old singer and aspiring actress Julie London, who would ultimately record “Cry Me a River” and have a monster hit with it, was married to Jack Webb at the time he would working on Pete Kelly's Blues.When Webb thought it would be a great idea to have some original songs, not just old standards, wife Julie remembered Arthur Hamilton. He was a young guy she'd graduated from high school with; in fact, he'd taken her to the senior prom.She and Arthur had drifted out of touch since their school days in the mid-1940s, but Julie remembered he'd wanted to be a songwriter. She gave him a call, asked if he was still writing music.“I was,” Hamilton recalled years later, “but I was writing them on the backs of prescription blanks, working as a delivery boy for a prominent drugstore chain.”When got the call from Hollywood, Hamilton cranked out three tunes — “He Needs Me,” “Sing a Rainbow” and (ta-duh!) “Cry Me a River” — the first two of which Webb used in the picture, but then Webb blocked the winner of the bunch because of Hamilton's refusal to change that problematic rhyme. Was It Code?So, again, why?“I've got my own pet theory about this,” Simpson writes in his newsletter, “completely unsupported by anything except speculation and a taste for intrigue: I wonder if the word ‘plebeian' was an in-joke of some kind between Hamilton and London? Lord only knows what sort of in-joke it would be. But it's a fun idea, isn't it?”Indeed. This is a public episode.

A Phil Svitek Podcast - A Series From Your 360 Creative Coach
We've seen movies based on books, comics, and even toys—but what if the starting point was a song? In this episode, I explore the idea of using an original track—something catchy, cinematic, and emotionally resonant—as the IP that launches a film. Imagine writing a movie with a song baked into the concept, getting that song to catch on (think Ava Max or Indila), and building momentum from there. Is it crazy... or just crazy enough to work? I share my thoughts and ask: should more creators be looking at unconventional paths to break through the noise?
Episode SummaryJoel Little is one of the world's top music producers, quietly shaping global hits behind the scenes - from co-writing Lorde's breakthrough "Royals" to producing massive tracks for artists like Taylor Swift, Imagine Dragons, and Khalid. Despite Grammys, multi-platinum records, and billions of streams, Joel remains remarkably down-to-earth, bringing a uniquely Kiwi sensibility to Hollywood and beyond.In this special live episode, Joel flips roles with early Trade Me engineer and investor Rowan Simpson, uncovering the striking similarities between creating hit songs and building startups. They dive into the art of discovering and shaping raw talent, how Kiwi humility can be a secret weapon (and sometimes a weakness), and the critical role that producers, mentors, and early supporters play in global success stories.In today's episode, we cover:• Joel's wild ride from recording Royals in two days to topping global charts, winning Grammys, and producing some of the decade's biggest songs• What music producers actually do, and why creative collaboration often feels like therapy• Why Joel sold his song catalogue (and how that's like a startup “exit”)• The parallels between startups and music: from finding product-market fit, to pivoting when something's not working, to knowing how to scale authentically• How Kiwi humility can be both a superpower and a stumbling block on the world stage• The backstory of Joel's non-profit Big Fan, building studios and stages for the next generation of Kiwi artistsWe also hear about Joel's own personal growth, from musician in Goodnight Nurse to world-renowned producer, and Rowan's perspective from the early days of Trade Me and Xero, reflecting on how creativity and business blend in unexpected ways.Time Stamps00:00 Intro01:19 Meet Joel Little: Grammy-winning Kiwi producer behind Royals, Taylor Swift, Khalid, and more03:07 What does a producer actually do?

The Vapors are a British new wave and power pop band best known for their 1980 hit “Turning Japanese.” Formed in 1978 in Guildford, England, the band was discovered by Bruce Foxton of The Jam, who helped secure them a management deal. With a sound that blended punchy punk energy and melodic hooks, The Vapors quickly gained attention in the UK music scene.Their debut album, New Clear Days (1980), featured “Turning Japanese,” a song that became an international success, particularly in the U.S. and Australia. Though often misinterpreted, the song's catchy riff and emotional intensity made it a defining anthem of the new wave era. The album also included other notable tracks like “News at Ten” and “Waiting for the Weekend.”Despite their early success, the band struggled with commercial momentum, and their second album, Magnets (1981), showcased a darker, more mature sound. Songs like “Jimmie Jones” tackled deeper themes, but the album failed to achieve the same level of popularity. By 1982, The Vapors disbanded, becoming one of many bands from the era known as one-hit wonders.After a decades-long hiatus, The Vapors reunited in 2016, playing live shows and eventually releasing a third album, Together, in 2020. Their legacy remains tied to the energy and innovation of the early new wave movement, with “Turning Japanese” still resonating in pop culture today.
Singer-songwriter Jimmy Webb on how growing up as the child of an Oklahoma preacher opened up a door to music, and inspired his songwriting (R)Jimmy Webb grew up poor in Oklahoma, where his mother encouraged him to play the piano, revealing a prodigious musical talent.After moving to Los Angeles, Jimmy wrote his first hit for the Fifth Dimension: Up, Up And Away.Shortly after, he met Glen Campbell, who had already recorded Jimmy's song By the Time I Get to Phoenix.Glen asked Jimmy to write a song especially for him - Wichita Lineman, which became another huge hit for Campbell.Jimmy's many other famous songs, including MacArthur Park, Adios, and The Highwayman, have been recorded by artists including Frank Sinatra, Isaac Hayes, Barbra Streisand, Art Garfunkel and Donna Summer.While he's best known as a songwriter, Jimmy is a renowned performer in his own right.This episode of Conversations explores music history, rock music, Americana, Hollywood, the recording industry, the Mid-west, middle America, religion, origin stories, personal stories, celebrity culture, country music, rock n roll, songwriting, yacht rock.

Stargate has written and produced major hit songs for artists such as Beyonce, Rihanna, Selena Gomez, Katy Perry, and Coldplay, to name a few. Tor has billions of streams, has written and produced 10 Billboard Hot 100 #1 singles in the US and 11 in the UK. He has won 2 Grammy Awards and received the ASCAP songwriter of the year award twice. Stargate's writer and producer credits include Beyoncé's global hit “Irreplaceable,” Beyoncé and Shakira's “Beautiful Liar,” extensive work with Rihanna including “Rude Boy,” “Don't Stop The Music,” “Only Girl (In the World),” What's My Name, “S&M, “Diamonds,” Selena Gomez' “Come & Get It” and “Same Old Love,” Fifth Harmony's “Worth It” and Katy Perry's “Firework.” Most recently, the team produced Coldplay's album A Head Full of Dreams, co-wrote and produced Julia Michael's current hit “Issues.”Tor talks about the process of songwriting and producing, working with artists and topliners. He shares great advice on how to write and work in the room with other songwriters, producers, and topliners. Tor also shares valuable insight on demoing, writing, re-writing, scaling up a musical production, and more.

January 15, 1969. It's been less than a year since the assassination of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Friends, family, and followers are gathered at Ebenezer Baptist Church in Atlanta, where Dr. King preached. They are there to remember him on his birthday, honor his legacy, and present a goal: an official celebration of his birthday every year, a holiday to commemorate his life and his struggle. Getting a holiday passed may sound like a bureaucratic formality, but it would become a years-long battle, mainly led by his widow, Coretta Scott King. And without an assist from a musical legend, it may have never come to be. Why was this holiday so controversial? And how did a still-popular song change the tide in this battle? Special thanks to Kevin Gaines, Julian Bond Professor of Civil Rights and Social Justice at the University of Virginia; and Crystal Sanders, historian and associate professor of African American studies at Emory University.
