Justin and Bec forego a typical main topic this week, opting instead for effectively two main topics with absolutely massive, iconic Songs of the Week! Bec's Song of the Week is "You Don't Have to Say You Love Me" and she explores the roots of it from the 1965 Italian ballad "Io che non vive (senza te)" through to Dusty Springfield's hugely successful English adaptation and eventually to Elvis's famous performances of it in the 1970s, across his 1970 Nashville sessions, the concerts filmed for "That's The Way It Is," and even much later and deeper into the decade. Justin then traces the lineage of Jerry Leiber and Mike Stoller's legendary "Trouble," originally featured in the 1958 film "King Creole," but increasingly recognized over the years as one of Elvis's most enduring recordings, symbolizing the myth of him as a rebellious rocker, most prominently recently featured in Baz Luhrmann's "Elvis." We go deeper, though, touching on the history of stop-time in Dixieland jazz and, most influentially on Leiber/Stoller, in Muddy Waters's "Hoochie Coochie Man." Understanding the history behind that song, the hoochie coochie itself, and the way Trouble has become representative of expressions of both masculinity and femininity unlocks a deeper sense of the song's significance as one of the all-time masterpieces of Elvis's entire recorded works. Oh yeah, and the duo react to the first trailer for Disney's live action remake of Lilo & Stitch! If you enjoy TCBCast, please consider supporting us with a donation at Patreon.com/TCBCast.

As you'll hear in our intro discussion, Justin and Bec have pushed out their TTWII Rehearsals episodes just a bit due to some extenuating circumstances, but still got together for a discussion about the lightweight, wholesome 1970 budget release on the Camden label, "Let's Be Friends," which compiled a mix of late-60s tracks (and one inexplicable 1962 recording). For Song of the Week, Justin soaks in the "Fountain of Love" from 1962's Pot Luck, and Bec gets funky with the Leiber & Stoller-penned Stax track "If You Don't Come Back." Next week, we'll be uploading a bonus episode for Tuesday while the TCBCast gang will be busy reading and getting together as soon as we can for an in-depth discussion about Lisa Marie Presley and Riley Keough's "From Here to the Great Unknown" as well as the Oprah special airing October 8.
It's always good to hear The Coasters, and this week we're studying their Goofy Great, "I'm a Hog For You." Written by Leiber/Stoller, loaded with A-pluses, hogsnort sax work, with a one-note guitar solo - this'll make you happier than pig in poopy! The second swine is by The Deejays, a bunch of British piggies who went to Sweden and waxed the track with added Mersey madness in 65. Bug music with great "yeah's" ... and we pick the best one as a side bet! The third porker in the pigpen is by The Groupies, the Bside of "Primitive" - garagers rejoice!! This one is like a Joe Meek / Strangeloves hybrid, and that means it's great. Slop time for Pastronauts!!

Yes, you're seeing this correctly - it's a weekend TCBCast! Gurdip and Justin get together for their initial impressions of the first three episodes of Netflix's "Agent Elvis" starring Matthew McConaughy, Kaitlin Olson, Don Cheadle, Johnny Knoxville, Tom Kenny and Priscilla Presley. As Gurdip had not had a chance to catch up on the whole season as of recording, discussion is mostly limited to the early episodes and analysis on the show's overall story, themes and ideas will wait for another day. For Song of the Week, Justin selects the understated and oft-forgotten 1970 Nashville cut "When I'm Over You" while Gurdip picks Danny Fisher's Leiber & Stoller-penned alma mater, "Steadfast Loyal and True" from 1958's "King Creole." For those not interested in "Agent Elvis" (it is NOT a show for everyone, that's for sure), here are the timestamps for the show to skip ahead to Songs of the Week: 0:00 Start 3:20 Trivia 8:45 Main Topic 1:20:50 SOTW: When I'm Over You 1:26:15 SOTW: Steadfast, Loyal and True

This week my special guest is talking about his amazing life journey which took him from being a songwriter for The Partridge Family to discovering, producing and managing Bruce Springsteen. Mike Appel always wanted to be a songwriter and musician starting his career in the Brill Building which was the heartbeat of the music industry in New York. Born in Flushing, Queens, he was a member of groups in the 1950s and 1960s including The Balloon Farm, co-writing their 1967 hit, A Question of Temperature. Mike worked with song writing duos including Leiber & Stoller, Hugo & Luigi. With his writing partner Jim Cretecos, five songs they penned together were recorded by The Partridge Family – the million seller Doesn't Somebody Want To Be Wanted along with I Can Feel Your Heartbeat, Somebody Wants To Love You, Rainmaker and Umbrella Man. Mike went on to discover and manage Bruce Springsteen. He produced Springsteen's first two albums and co-produced Springsteen's third and breakthrough album, Born To Run. In our conversation Mike talks about the skills he has learnt from other songwriters, his own writing technique, the first meeting of songwriters at the pilot showing of The Partridge Family, the legacy of that music, and how he would have managed David Cassidy. He is currently working on a Broadway musical, Stage Door Johnny, and his autobiography. Visit his website: Mike Appel: writer, musician, singer, arranger & producer
65 years ago this year, Elvis made two appearances on Milton Berle's popular variety program, once on board the U.S.S. Hancock and another back in Los Angeles. As voted by the TCBCast patrons, Justin & Gurdip are looking at both, and offering perspectives on the fallout from the latter performance, which gave way to the first major wave of controversy and backlash against Elvis. The two Songs of the Week that won the monthly patron poll made it an extremely tough choice between the two for Gurdip, but ultimately he settled on "Love Me," the Leiber/Stoller country spoof that Elvis played completely straight, while Justin digs into Lowell Fulson's blues classic "Reconsider Baby," with both songs having been featured throughout Elvis's entire career.

Bachman Turner Overdrive - My Wheels Won't Turn (1977) Brian Protheroe - Pinball (1975) He had a small role in the 1978 film Superman as a co-pilot of Air Force One. In 1984 he played in the West End musical "Pump Boys and Dinettes" on piano and vocals and percussion. Cher - Classification 1A (1971) Written by Sonny Bono. Tacky as ever. Especially the end. Dave Clark Five - Put a Little Love In Your Heart (1969) Dunn & McCashen - Alright In The City (1970) Gary Glitter - Rock And Roll Part 5 (12" extended version) (1987) Produced by Trevor Horn. Wretched. Sometimes you get the feeling I don't like you at all. O'Kaysions - Love Machine (1968) Their hit was "Girl Watcher". Creepy album cover. Nat Dove and the Devils - Theme from "Petey Wheatstraw" (1977) I saw this movie a few days ago. Pretty entertaining. Robey - One Night In Bangkok (1984) While Murray Head's "One Night In Bangkok" was just starting to climb the Billboard Hot 100, Canadian singer and actress (Louise) Robey hit the charts with her own version. It spent three weeks on the Hot 100 in March 1985, peaking at No. 77. Robey's version fared better on the Billboard Hot Dance Club Play chart, peaking at No. 5. Remember when I talked about Kid Creole appearing on this chart repeatedly? Same thing. Roller Blade Trailer (1986) Sly & The Family Stone - Frisky (1973) The Archies - Bicycles Rollerskates & You (1969) The Checkmates - I Keep Forgetting (1970) "I Keep Forgettin'" is a song originally released by Chuck Jackson, written by Jerry Leiber, Mike Stoller, and Garfield. This single is often cited as one of the most innovative yet least commercial singles written and produced by Leiber-Stoller. In 1982, Michael McDonald released a song titled "I Keep Forgettin' (Every Time You're Near)". The song's similarity to Jackson's "I Keep Forgettin'" resulted in Leiber and Stoller being given a songwriting credit. The Klowns - Lady Love (1970) The brainchild of songwriter Jeff Barry, The Klowns were formed on the success of the Archies. The band featured actor Barry Bostwick, who portrayed Brad Majors in Rocky Horror Picture Show. Unlike the Archies, the Klowns never achieved heavy chart success with their only Billboard Hot 100 entry, "Lady Love", which peaked at #95. The Klowns - River Cruisin' (1970) The Klowns - Honey Bunny Day (1970) Bob Dylan - It's Alright, Ma (I'm Only Bleeding) (Live) (1965) Bob Dylan - Wigwam (1970) Bob Dylan - You're A Big Girl Now (1975) Donovan - Comin To You (1980) Donovan - A Well-Known Has-Been (1976) Donovan - Dare To Be Different (1977) Donovan - Rock and Roll Souljer (1974) Noosha Fox - More Than Molecules (1980) Noosha Fox - Odd Peculiar Strange (1980) Fox - Dejenina (1977) Nat Dove and the Devils - Theme from "Petey Wheatstraw" (1977) I programmed this song twice. Dur dur. Procol Harum - A Salty Dog (1969) Wooden Horse - Loving Man (1972) Noosha Fox's folk group before Fox was formed. Sort of like Debbie Harry or Gail Garnett in reverse. I have played Fox's song "S-s-s-single Bed" a few times on my show. I really like it. Chicago Line - Shimmy Shimmy Ko Ko Bop (1966) Bass player Louis Cennamo played on James Taylor's first album as well as being a member of the original version of the band Renaissance (pre-Annie Haslam). Kill me for knowing that. Terry Knight - Saint Paul (1969) The Fortunes - Seasons In The Sun (1968) An English harmony beat group. Formed in 1963 in Birmingham, they first came to prominence and international acclaim in 1965, when "You've Got Your Troubles" broke into the US and UK Top 10s. So Terry Jacks' version was a cover of a cover, basically. The original, written by Jacques Brel, was translated (more or less) into English by Rod McKuen in 1964. His lyrics were a little more...adult... Adieu, Francoise, my trusted wife, Without you, I'd have had a lonely life, You cheated lots of times, but then, I forgave you in the end, Though your lover was my friend, With your lovers everywhere, Just be careful, I'll be there... The Rollers - No Doubt About It (1981) Who does this sound like to you? I hear Toto. The Bay City Rollers, long removed (in '70s rock years) from fame, kept going for a while and released three records under the name The Rollers. They are not as bad as you might think. Sort of a Corporate Rock sound. No heart or soul, but no embarrassing shit, either, and YES, I have heard all three. The Klowns - Yellow Sunglasses (1970)

Sync up your DVD or digital copy of King Creole and watch along with Gurdip & Justin! From Michael Curtiz's direction to Elvis' co-stars like Carolyn Jones, Walter Matthau and Delores Hart, from the heavily Leiber/Stoller soundtrack to whether it really qualifies as film noir, this is a unique TCBCast episode for a truly unique highlight in Elvis' filmography. Please note: due to some editing issues, there are brief portions of the commentary where there are silences. These are intentional to keep the commentary synchronized with your copy of King Creole. For Song of the Week, the guys both manage to pick songs from Elvis' contemporaries, with Gurdip bemoaning the "Summertime Blues" and Justin digging into the history of "These Boots Are Made for Walkin," the biggest hit from Elvis' Speedway co-star, Nancy Sinatra - both songs with more Elvis connections than you might think! Songs of the Week Justin - These Boots Are Made For Walkin' (Nancy Sinatra) Gurdip - Summertime Blues (Eddie Cochran)
