Whether you were a union man or not in the ‘70s, just about everybody was livin' for the weekend. As Friday rolled in, you were probably struck with a serious case of boogey fever. That disco ladywas waiting to entice you to get up and boogey. That's right, when you found her at the club, you surrendered to her charms and just said “Let's spend all of my money honey”. This week we revisitthe golden years as we review the Billboard Top 40 from the week of April 17,1976.

Cyndi Lauper is a multi-award winning singer and songwriter. She has sold more than fifty million records, won an Emmy for acting and her musical Kinky Boots earned her a Tony and an Oliver award. Born in 1953, Cyndi grew up in a blue collar neighbourhood in New York. Her mother loved music and art and took her children to free exhibitions in New York which inspired Cyndi. As a very young girl, Cyndi listened to her mother's extensive record collection and mimicked the voices she heard from musicals and operas.After a difficult family home life due to her mother's turbulent marriages, Cyndi found solace in music and began writing songs when she was ten. She left home at seventeen determined to make it in the music industry. She started out as a singer in bands, whilst supporting herself doing a series of jobs. Early in her career, she lost her voice for almost a year after trying to make herself heard over amps which were too loud. Success eventually came when she released her debut solo album She's So Unusual in 1983 – the first album by a female artist to spawn four consecutive US Top 5 singles.Cyndi lives in New York with her husband, David who is an actor. They met on a set of a film and rock legend Little Richard officiated their wedding.DISC ONE: Prelude to the Afternoon of a Faun.

Lately we get the feeling that the show may be rotting like a dead skunk, but neither one of us wants to be the first to say goodbye. That would leave one less set of footsteps, but as the saying goes, maybe you have to break up to make up. This week; do you want dance or maybe just sing along to Billboard Top 40 from the week of March 24, 1973? We promise not to stop until we get to the last song.

As we take a break due to travel, we go back to Episode 151 with Netta Gorman,, in which she and I discuss issues with sugar and some practical advice and tips for dealing with it. We resume our regular podcast lineup next week when we return. Show Notes from Episode 151 Netta was desperate to overcome her debilitating health issues. She struggled with chronic constipation, headaches, achy joints, uncomfortable extra pounds, energy slumps, anxiety, mood swings, and more. By 45, she'd tried everything… except for one solution! Cut sugar. But she resisted it – until she realized that “nothing changes if nothing changes”. It started as a temporary 2-week experiment to cut sugar, flour and sweeteners in July 2015. And to her amazement, Netta began to feel so much more energetic and vitalized that she carried on… and it's been 7 years and counting! Now, Netta shares her voyage of self-discovery that transformed her relationship with sugar and her need for comfort foods. Netta is also the creator of the 12-week Life After Sugar Program, which empowers people who are open-minded and slightly rebellious to let go of sugar for good. She also offers a safe, private community that provides support and accountability in the After Sugar Club membership. Her passion is to guide people who struggle with cravings and mindless eating so that they can learn to let go of sugar, gain energy and confidence, and make their intermittent fasting lifestyle easy and natural. Find Netta here: aftersugarclub.com. Press kit available upon request to contact Netta: netta@aftersugarclub.com As featured in Life After Sugar, Netta is inspiring thousands as the host of the Life After Sugar podcast, ranked in the US Top 100 nutrition podcasts with over 200K downloads in its first two years

Send us a textEveryone knows and loves Creedence Clearwater Revival. Their run of hits at the end of the '60's, and their enduring popularity, has rarely been equaled. Not so well-known is the story of the clashes that caused their run to end so abruptly. We take a look at how the band split and the many personal and legal issues that led to it. It ain't pretty! Well, we also kept our promise and listened to the new Coldplay album, “Moon Music”. How did it sound to us? Regular listeners won't be surprised at our reaction! In Rock News, we look some more at the issues surrounding Diddy, and look at the problems with the "stage hole" in Melbourne. Our Album You Must Listen to Before You Die is 1977's “Bat Out of Hell” by Meat Loaf. Such a great album!!

Ah Thanksgiving, that one fine morning in the midst of the week that you don't have to go to work. Thanksgiving always falls on the 4th Thursday in November which means it is always under the sign of Sagittarius, never Scorpio. When it comes to getting together on this holiday, a lot of people feel they've got to be there, after all, it's a family affair and everybody's everything. It's hard to imagine, but there are people who I am sure are tired of being alone on the holiday. I don't at all want to throw stones if that is what you choose to do, but if not; I'd love to change the world so that you to could cherish the company of others while continuing to respect yourself. This week we spend a wild night with the Billboard top 40 songs from the week ending November 27, 1971. I'm sure the music is a lot different than it was say in the summer of '42, so rest assured, we will rock steady.

Attention, dear listeners! This episode carries a few advisory warnings. We're delving into content that features a song peppered with a spicy word or two and discussions that may not be appropriate for a younger audience. It's not exactly "shield your grandma's ears" material, but it's certainly not kindergarten fare. Consider this episode to have a "PG-13" rating—there's a bit of mischief, but all in good fun. Our squeaky-clean reputation? Well, it's taking a tiny holiday! If what you hear doesn't offend you, then you may end up laughing with us. Is Derringer Discoveries now a comedy podcast? With the hitmaker Dean Friedman joining us, the answer is a definite yes! If you're not chuckling throughout this episode, perhaps it's time to see if your internal laugh meter needs a tune-up. Additionally, we delve into Dean Friedman's 2005 UK tour, which nearly came to a halt due to a cannabis controversy! Can you say scandalous? Indeed, it was so scandalous that 39 of the 40 venues canceled upon learning of Dean's plans! We give a shout-out to the one venue in Scotland that supported Dean amidst the uproar. But this is not the worst of it! In this episode, we analyze a song featuring a teenage protagonist who was (and may still be) a frequent visitor to the Golden Arches. A song so troubling that, in 1982, it was actually banned by the British Broadcasting Corporation (BBC) and it derailed Dean's career. This episode also features a mix of positive, family-friendly content. For instance, we discuss how the vegetarian protagonist in Dean Friedman's international Top 40 hit "Ariel" influenced Paul Derringer's romantic life. Tune in to the episode to discover more! We also learn of Dean's 44-year marriage to the love of his life, Alison. How many famous recording artists can make this claim? We don't know! (That's why we're asking.) Furthermore, we reflect on Dean's illustrious 47+ year career in the music business, minus the almost 20 years he was exiled on a remote desert island (well, not an actual desert island - just New Jersey) after being banned by the BBC in 1982. Besides the US and Canada Top 40 hit "Ariel," Dean also scored two Top 40 hits in the UK, with one reaching #3 in 1978. Interestingly, the same song banned by the BBC in 1982 was eventually covered by Canada's Barenaked Ladies and then it became a US Top 40 hit for another recording artist! That artist took it all the way to #1 in Norway. What happens next after you've written a #1 hit? Well, if you're Dean, you license the song to one of the biggest corporations in the world and it becomes a major radio and television commercial. To seal the deal, Dean agreed to revise the age of the person with whom the protagonist is in love, even though they were originally both the same age! Furthermore, you can no longer identify anyone in the song as a virgin. Gone is the purity! And no more polyester, which is how Dean described the clothing worn by the Golden Arches employee in the original version! US listeners have likely heard the commercial, a snippet of which is included in this episode. It's best enjoyed with a cup of coffee, which will become clear upon listening. After experiencing this fun-filled episode, you will have the opportunity to see Dean Friedman "live" in concert. Starting in early 2025, Dean will be on tour in the US and then the UK. Find your nearest city, buy tickets, and tell Dean that you heard him on Derringer Discoveries.

This week it's so good, so right, that we have some guest rankings to go along with ours. Still, there is a potential that there will be a heartache tonight. Will we rise above our individual biases and say “enough is enough”? This week we listen to the pop muzic in the Billboard Top 40 from the week ending November 17, 1979. Will this be ladies night, or something that appeals more to a dirty white boy? Who knows? Damned if I do. This night won't last forever, so dim all the lights and close your eyes. Perhaps you will dream, just beware of the dream police.

Well it may seem like this podcast is an overnight sensation, but actually, it took an everlasting love and devotion for the need to be the best that got us here. Sure you may be saying “What? You haven't done nothin'!”. Well to that we say, you ain't seen nothing yet. Our 2 listeners can't get enough of the show, and they consider us the kings of the party. This week the Billboard Top 40 from the week ending October 19, 1974 makes me feel like I got the music in me! So much so that we may just break into our Longfellow serenade, that one is my melody of love.

The movie Jaws came out in June of 1975, and by September we all had a lot of bad blood about sharks and swimming in the ocean. The movie advertisements said it “may be too intense for younger children”, but I suppose at 17 it was ok. Sometimes it only takes a minute to overcome your fears and what a difference a day makes. I guess that's just the way of the world. This week we have included celebrity ratings and comments from Nate at the Deep Purple Podcast. It's amazing we can get input from someone with that level of fame. Sure he wouldn't be classified as a Black Superman, but nevertheless, on his show, he's the proud one. This week we all provide our feelings for the songs in the Billboard Top 40 from the week ending September 20, 1975. How will Nate's ratings influence the overall grade of the countdown? Will they be enough to fight the power of Mark and Pete?

Do you remember the days of the old school yard? How about getting your first place and having the telephone man put in a new telephone line? You otherwise probably had to be your own handy man back then. In 1977, being able to take a jet airliner down to Margaritaville meant you were livin' the life.

Sooner or later you knew we would get back to 1971. It is high time we went back before it's too late! Wild horses couldn't keep us away because in reality, we never can say goodbye for good. Maybe it wasn't as obvious as a request in the want ads, but there were certainly signs that our audience wanted it. So join us for some escape-ism into the Billboard top 40 for the week ending July 10th, 1971. We promise to treat her like a lady, even if she is not so sweet and innocent.

How long has it been since we went back to 1975, it seems like it was back in the podcast old days, but maybe it was only yesterday? For some it was a bad time, when air travel was on shaky ground. The risk of a hijack was all too real and you feared at any moment to hear “get down, get down, get on the floor”! Fortunately for most of us, the only time we heard that was in the disco. This week we do the hustle through the Billboard Top 40 songs from the week ending May 30th, 1975. With a shining star or two, and some magic within, we can say we haven't said the last farewell to 1975.

Evancho wrote all 6 songs and co-produced the EP with Smash Mouth's founding member and songwriter Greg Camp. The first single off Solla, Behind My Eyes, was released in September and went to radio in February and currently remains at #22 on the Billboard AC Chart. Says Jackie about the song, “Behind My Eyes,” "This is a song I wrote to almost exemplify the feeling of losing it. It's a song that doesn't exactly make sense lyrically. There are feelings of paranoia, euphoria, mania, etc. It's a big jumble of many things at once, and often it is hard to understand and empathize with the one trying to explain this.” Jackie goes on, “I'm excited, as well as nervous about the release of this song. I know in the end I'm telling my truth and I can't wait to share who I am with the world and my fans.” Singer, concert artist, actress, and model, Jackie Evancho is a platinum-selling recording artist who first became a worldwide sensation at the age of 10 years old, with her stunning debut performance singing “O Mio Babbino Caro” on season 5 of NBC's America's Got Talent (AGT). A career that began with a little girl's fascination with the film adaptation of The Phantom of the Opera has led Billboard to twice include Jackie on its list of “music movers-and-shakers under the age of 21,” as well as Forbes Magazine naming Jackie to their list of “30 under 30,” in part due to the history she has made along the way – the youngest solo platinum artist, earning the record away from Michael Jackson – the youngest top 5 debut artist ever in the U.K – the highest-ranking debut artist of 2010 – and a Guinness World Record as the youngest person to ever have a US Top 3 album.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/arroe-collins-unplugged-totally-uncut--994165/support.
Hello stranger. We're a little late this week, but don't give up on us just yet. The editing process took awhile because we sometimes made mistakes and couldn't get it right. At some point we just said we got to give it up, because every time we thought we were done, the episode kept telling us “Don't leave me this way!” Maybe I'm amazed at how good the Billboard Top 40 songs from the week ending April 30th, 1974 were. Whether you're a cheery baby, an old fashioned boy, a dancing queen, or a dancing man, sometimes it's just the right time of the night to hear them.

This week we talk about how back in the '70s, I grew up on a farm down by the lazy river where I had a horse with no name. The horse was sickly, but it had a heart of gold. Then there was the day that I found myself in the court of king heroin. I realized I was runnin' away and slipping into darkness with no one to depend on. Then came the day I lost everything I own. This week we take a look around at the Billboard Top 40 for the Week of April 1, 1972, and if you believe any of what has been said here, then I GOTCHA!

On this episode of Tent Show Radio, legendary Southern Rock band The Ozark Mountain Daredevils perform a career spanning set during their thrilling return to the Big Top stage. One of Southern rock's more inventive exponents, The Ozark Mountain Daredevils have always been indefinable in terms of music genres, producing sounds of country-rock and electric bluegrass all on the same record, writing lyrics both whimsical and poetic, and singing harmonies that send shivers up your spine. The Daredevils were formed in 1971 by the songwriting team of John Dillon, Randle Chowning, Larry Lee, and Steve Cash; with Michael "Supe" Granda and Buddy Brayfield completing the line-up. When the band emerged with their self-titled debut in 1973, they evoked not only the spirit of the age but the place from which they sprang: Springfield, Missouri, and the Ozarks—a place of pop, rock, country, mountain music, and much more. The critically acclaimed record, recorded in London under the direction of producer Glyn Johns, contained the US Top 30 single "If You Wanna Get To Heaven", while a second success, "Jackie Blue', which reached #3, came from the band's follow-up collection, “It'll Shine When It Shines.” Recorded at Randle Chowning's ranch, these records achieved “gold” status and showcased the group's strong harmonies and intuitive musicianship. Following a hiatus, the Daredevils were reactivated in the late 1980's by Dillon, Cash and Granda. The resulting album, “Modern History” found the band with a new lease on life as they carried on into the new millennium with a new line-up featuring Dillon, Cash, Granda, Ron Gremp (drums) and Bill Brown (guitar/vocals). In the years that followed, the Daredevils released a number of major label and independent record label recordings, traveled millions of miles performing throughout North America and Europe, and continued to grow and maintain a loyal and dedicated fan base throughout the world. Now more than 50 years since their founding, their songs are still regularly played on Classic Radio stations.

Harvey Brownstone conducts an in-depth Interview with Peter Cincotti, Renowned Pianist, Singer/Songwriter & Recording Artist About Harvey's guests: Today's guest, Peter Cincotti, is a renowned pianist, singer-songwriter and concert and recording artist who burst on the music scene at the age of 18, when he became the youngest artist ever to reach #1 on the Billboard Jazz Charts, with the 2003 release of his self-titled debut album. Since then, he's been dazzling audiences around the world with his ingenious musical arrangements and unique fusion of jazz, pop, rock, funk and blues, performing sold-out concerts at some of the most prestigious venues from Carnegie Hall, Lincoln Center, and Radio City Music Hall to L'Olympia in Paris, Queen Elizabeth Hall in London, and the Montreux Jazz Festival, where he won an award for his rendition of Dizzy Gillespie's “A Night in Tunisia”. He's released 6 highly acclaimed albums, produced by legends like Phil Ramone and David Foster. He's collaborated with many iconic music stars including Ray Charles, Andrea Bocelli, Sting, Annie Lennox, David Guetta and Seal. He appeared in the blockbuster films “Spiderman 2” and “Beyond the Sea”. And yes, that was him in Season 3, episode 3 of the hit Netflix series “House of Cards”, appearing as himself, singing a duet with the President. His latest album 'Killer On The Keys' is an homage to some of the most influential piano icons of all time, and blends influences ranging from Nat King Cole, Billy Joel, and Lady Gaga, to John Lennon and Coldplay. And last December, his new original Christmas song 'Because It's Christmas' reached #25 on the US Top 40 Mainstream Billboard Chart, #12 on the Holiday Top 15 Chart, and #3 on the Independent Artists Chart. The critics are unanimous in their praise for this man's remarkable artistry and musicianship. The New York Post said he's “incredible”. The Daily News said he's “sensational”. Newsweek Magazine called him “phenomenal”. And the usually restrained New York Times music critic said he's “well on his way to becoming a legend”. And if ALL OF THAT weren't enough, he's also an icon in the world of international men's fashion, representing the luxury brands Zegna and Tod's.

As you look back on the times of your life, what was Valentine's Day like? Back in the 70s, were you a love machine who used your charms to land a money honey? Did you break the heart of a sweet thing? Perhaps the tables turned at some point and you rode a love rollercoaster with an evil woman. I am sure you found out that love hurts and oh how breaking up is hard to do. Well, one thing I am sure of is that I love music. So wake up everybody, because this week we are going to take a slow ride through the Billboard Top 40 from the Week of February 14, 1976. We may sing a song or two. Won't you join me, because I surely can't do this all by myself?

Marketing is an act of love. The marketer puts out content like little thirst traps. We want to dazzle with our beautiful pictures and words. And we definitely didn't lay awake at night trying to think of the perfect thing to say. We marketers are gently wooing our audience from their first glance to becoming a dedicated customer. We are working to build everlasting relationships. And today, we're learning about doing just that from the hit reality show that explores what it takes to go the distance.In this episode, we're talking about Love is Blind with the help of special guest, Senior Director of Brand & Events at Seismic, Katie Brunette. Together, we chat about breaking the ice, wooing your audience, and using cliffhangers.About our guest, Katie BrunetteKatie Brunette is Senior Director of Brand & Events at Seismic. She joined the company in November 2021 as Senior Director of Global Events. She is an experiential marketing professional specialized in strategic corporate events and large-scale sporting events.

Seismic is headquartered in San Diego with offices across North America, Europe, and Australia.About Love is BlindLove is Blind is a reality show in which people who are looking for love get engaged before actually meeting each other in person. So how it goes is 15 men and 15 women who live in the same area come to live in pods. And they can “date” by talking to each other through speakers but never see each other. Participants can propose at any time. If and when a participant says “yes,” then they can meet their fiance in person. The show follows their relationship right up to the altar in some cases. For each season, there's a reunion episode, and “after the altar” episodes.Production-wise, the first season filmed for 38 days. And then some couples got married. They started on October 9th in 2018 and weddings were held on November 15th. Participants do get paid $1,000 a week, and the rings, resort stays, wedding, etc. are paid for by the show. However each person is responsible for their own hair, makeup, and clothing.The series was created by Chris Coelen, produced by Kinetic Content and streams on Netflix. It premiered in February of 2020, and got tons of viewership, especially because of the pandemic. 30 million households watched the series within four weeks of its launch, and according to the Netflix 2020 viewing trends summary, it "stayed in the US Top 10 for 47 days straight after its release – the second-longest run of any title that year behind Cocomelon.” (64 days). It got some really funny reviews, the best being from Lucy Mangan of The Guardian, who said, “Love is Blind is, basically, crack. Or meth. It's crack-meth. You will decide to give it five minutes before bed one night and find yourself still on the sofa as the sun rises on another day. You will be bleary-eyed and shattered from all the shouting you have done, the emotional investment you have made, the WhatsApp messages you have typed to a specially formed group and the heartfelt contributions you have made to various internet forums on the subject. It's that good, is what I am saying.” But then she goes on to say that it's not good from a moral sense.It now has 5 seasons out.What B2B Companies Can Learn From Love is Blind:Break the ice. Introductory content meant to build awareness about your company or product is a great place to use humor. It's attention-grabbing, light, and memorable. Plus, it starts you off with a positive brand association that will help build your relationship with them. Ian says, ”Long-term commitment is scary for most people, and it's very serious. And so you need to start with an icebreaker. So much of our content or our marketing stuff is so serious. We don't have good icebreakers. So much of the stuff that we create has so little levity, when even just showing a little bit of that allows you to break the tension.”Woo your audience. Commitment takes time. The content that will resonate with someone who just found out about your company will be different than someone who is ready to buy. Create touchpoints in your content that speaks to them at different phases of your relationship. Katie says, ”I kind of equate getting engaged to taking the demo. So how do you get your audience to the demo? You have to talk about the values. You have to talk about the things that mean the most to them, so that way you can connect on that human to human level, but also connect on their business outcome.” Use cliffhangers. Save the good stuff for the end of your blog post, your video, your podcast. Ian says, “Choose your best stuff and just put it at the bottom of the article. That stuff is so powerful and we don't do it enough.” When relationships hang in the balance on Love is Blind at the end of an episode, you know people are going to tune into the next episode. It's how you keep people engaged and even improve viewership.Quotes*”If you knew that you had 30 hours to try to attract somebody to take a demo with you, what pieces of content would you put all your efforts into? Is it a webinar that you can get some live engagement? Is it an in-person event that you're trying to get them to? Is it a really great designed ebook? Is it a blog post? If you know that you have 30 hours of their attention, what is that high quality content that you're going to produce?” - Katie Brunette*”It's so important to make that investment in your voice early on, especially when you're trying to set yourself apart from your competitors. Your voice is the easiest way to relate to people, and the easiest way to set yourself apart from competitors who essentially have the same product. Maybe some of the features are different. It might look a little bit different. It might work a little bit different. But you're selling the same thing. So how do you differentiate yourself? It's through your voice.” - Katie BrunetteTime Stamps[0:55] Meet Katie Brunette, Senior Director of Brand & Events at Seismic[2:24] What does Katie's work at Seismic entail?[3:07] What is Love is Blind about?[19:27] Katie on the Impact of Love is Blind on Marketing[36:44] Reflections on Brand and Content at SeismicLinksWatch Love is BlindConnect with Katie on LinkedInLearn more about SeismicAbout Remarkable!Remarkable! is created by the team at Caspian Studios, the premier B2B Podcast-as-a-Service company.

Seems like we never can say goodbye to the 70s, we just can't get it out of our head. It is probably because as a nightingale would, we were struttin' our stuff like a free bird back then. This week we call on the entertainer to be the Billboard Top 40 from the Week of January 25, 1975. When we get to the end of the countdown will we be saying “you're no good”, or will we say it was some kind of wonderful? No matter what, per doctor's orders, you'd better take a big yellow taxi to the nearest club and get dancin'!

While the album Whitesnake may not be the debut album from the band Whitesnake, this self-titled seventh studio album might as well be a debut, as only two members were present from the previous album. Known in the UK as 1987, and in Japan as Serpens Albus, this album featured returning members John Sykes on guitars and backing vocals, and David Coverdale on lead vocals. Additionally Neil Murray was on bass, Aynsley Dunbar was on percussion, and Don Airey was on keyboards.David Coverdale was the lead singer for Deep Purple, and left the group in 1976. He did a couple of solo albums, the first of which was named “White Snake.” He formed the band Whitesnake as his backing band in 1978. They had a lot of success in the UK, Europe, and Japan with their early albums, but Coverdale wanted to break through in North America by the mid-80's. He started moving from a blues/hard rock sound to a more glam metal sound, starting with the album "Slide It In" in 1984, and fully embraced the heavy metal sound and hair band image with this album.Whitesnake would get significant airplay, with two singles going to number 1 (Here I Go Again) and number 2 (Is This Love?) on the Billboard US charts. Their videos would be staples of MTV, with prominent exposure of Tawny Kitaen, Coverdale's girlfriend and soon-to-be wife. The band would be broken up shortly after the album was complete, leaving David Coverdale as the sole member by the time they went on tour. This was despite the fact that John Sykes co-wrote all but two of the songs on the album. Get your hair metal on as Bruce puts his metal hair on, presenting this week's album. Bad BoysA deeper cut, this song is heavy on the rock and light on the significance of the lyrics. “Bad bad boys, getting wild in the street, wild in the city, I see you - you see me.” Much of the album has this heavy rock sound.Crying In the Rain '87This track that starts the album is a reworked song originally released by the group in 1982. The original is more bluesy and has a slower tempo than this version. The song was inspired by David Coverdale's divorce.Give Me All Your LoveThis was the fourth single from the album, and it reached number 58 on the US Top 100 charts. By the time the single was released in January 1988 a new guitar solo had been recorded by Vivian Campbell, replacing guitarist and co-writer John Sykes. Campbell would tour with the band but would leave before the next album.Still of the NightThe first single from the album may have only hit number 79 on the Billboard Hot 100, but it received significant airplay on rock stations and MTV. The comparisons to Led Zeppelin were frequent, not just for the guitar riffs, but also for the heavy drumming and similarity between the vocalizations of Coverdale and Robert Plant. The song is about obsession, maybe a vampire, maybe a stalker. ENTERTAINMENT TRACK:Love and Marriage by Frank Sinatra (from the television series “Married...With Children”)This anti-Cosby Show family dystopia followed the antics of shoe salesman Al Bundy and his family. STAFF PICKS:Tonight, Tonight, Tonight by GenesisLynch gets the staff picks going with a single from Genesis's album Invisible Touch. It went to number 3 on the Billboard Hot 100 despite being written less as a pop song and more like the prog rock style that Genesis used earlier in the decade. The lyrics are about a conversation with a drug dealer, a fact that must have been missed when Michelob used the song to promote their beer.Love Removal Machine by The CultWayne's staff pick is the first single from The Cult's third album, Electric. It went to number 15 on the Mainstream Rock charts in the United States. Lead singer Ian Astbury compares this song to getting on your favorite motorcycle. The opening riff is often compared to “Start Me Up” by the Rolling Stones.Ahead by Wire Rob features the closest post punk band Wire would get to a pop single. It has a spacey, ethereal sound. Wire had extensive influence over many groups, including Sonic Youth, The Cure, and R.E.M. First We Take Manhattan by Jennifer WarnesBruce closes out the staff picks with a song written by Canadian singer-songwriter Leonard Cohen. Jennifer Warnes originally did this song for a Cohen tribute album, and it features guitarist extraordinaire Stevie Ray Vaughan. The song itself is dark and apocalyptic, with lyrics told from the perspective of a terrorist. COMEDY TRACK:Put Down the Duckie by Hoots the Owl and ErnieWe first learned that we have to put down the duckie if we want to play the saxophone from this skit, which aired on Sesame Street for the first time in April 1987.
