Well, I notice I still have ears because I'm going to need those for this episode here. What happened to your spleen?
Starting point is 00:00:41 Yeah. No telling what kind of trouble a spleen can run into. I'm good, man. How are you, Gilly? I had a great day today. You had a what? I had a great day today.
Starting point is 00:00:49 Why don't you tell us about it? Yeah, I'm going to do that. Listening to my old 45s. Ah! You know? You're giving us a little sneak preview. Yeah. Before we do that, I'm going to give out some gifts.
Starting point is 00:00:59 Okay. These are goodies. Gilbert loves to get gifts. Why, yes! Don't you, Gilbert? Yes, I do! These are sent to me because my office at ABC is now a clearinghouse for this stuff. It's become a storeroom.
Starting point is 00:01:11 It's like turning into that scene in Raiders of the Lost Ark. They store everything at the end of the movie. Anyway. Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha oh always fun and you get with it the Horror Critics Journal and there's one for everybody there's one for Frank there's one for Paul there's one for Gilbert you can write in that look at that excellent
Starting point is 00:01:53 a fan of the show sent us some swag we also got a big box in my office from our friends at the Cartoon Network from our friend Ned Hastings
Starting point is 00:02:01 and he sent DVDs of a show that I think Frank's friend is starring in. Matt Cervito. Matt Cervito, called Your Pretty Face is Going to Hell. I don't know. Dave Seidel is nodding. Dave Milstein is nodding. I don't know anything about this. I'm out of the loop, boys.
Starting point is 00:02:18 Matt's an awesome guy. You would know him as the FBI agent from The Sopranos. Ah, that guy. Oh, okay. Look at that. There's your DVD, Your Pretty Face is Going to Hell, with two hours of uncensored extras, Raybone. I'm taking that home. Gifts for you.
Starting point is 00:02:31 There's one for you here, Frankie. It's got a lot of Gilbert nudity in it. Also a line notebook of Your Pretty Face is Going to Hell. Oh, see? That I always like. A beautiful spiral notebook. One for you, Paulie. Oh, this is a nice notebook. Frank received his.
Starting point is 00:02:46 There is plenty more. They sent a giant box, a room sized box of stuff. I love it. It's t-shirts, it's adult swim stuff, Venture Brothers, all kinds of stuff. And I didn't have room to bring it all. I've got to read one tweet I got. Okay, go. That, like, on a previous
Starting point is 00:03:02 show, somebody asked about being, you asked about the Jeff Ross historical roast where it was Hitler roasting and Frank. And there were some people attacking that. And one guy wrote, this is citizen plain president. I don't know if that's if I'm saying right it doesn't sound like a name but he tweeted this he said you are right
Starting point is 00:03:35 Hitler's killing of people was not funny but watching a Jewish man play Hitler and have other Jewish people talk shit to him is funny. There you go. Yeah, and I thought that explains it right there. So you feel better about
Starting point is 00:03:51 playing Hitler now? Yeah. Oh, yeah. I think my parents would have been Would that have been a proud moment for them? Yes. Paulie Paul. Yeah. We're going gonna do something that
Starting point is 00:04:06 Why don't you explain what we've done Oh, I just fell out If you're over there, Frank We've been doing some record collections We did yours a couple of weeks ago We sure did Highlights from Frank's records Did we do yours?
Starting point is 00:04:22 Yes We didn't do Gilbert's No That would require Gilbert actually working highlights from Frank's records. Did we do yours? Yes. We didn't do Gilbert's. No? No, because that would require Gilbert actually working. And actually, we did Dara's record collection. We did Dara's, right. It started with mine. It started with Frank's record collection, and I tried to stump Gilbert.
Starting point is 00:04:37 Right. And I believe you were here. I was here. Is Paul looking more and more like Neil Simon? Or is it my imagination? Doesn't he look like Doc Simon? Sure. I'll take a picture of you and post it.
Starting point is 00:04:49 And then Dara decided that she was going to take up the challenge, so we did Dara's CD collection originally. And then we did two with Dara. Then we did Dara's record collection. Part one and part two. Dara's mom stuff. Yeah, Dara's mom chimed in too. I don't think we put that one up yet.
Starting point is 00:05:06 And then I challenged Ray Bone to say, go through your record collection, find your 45s. Did you actually have them in the house still? I actually, amazingly, I had all my 45s, about a hundred of them. I didn't know I had that many. Wow. And the reason I have them is about 20 years ago, my father was cleaning out his closets, and he said, I'm getting
Starting point is 00:05:21 the hell out, getting this out of here, and mailed it to me without any warning. And so I have them. If he hadn't said, I'm getting the hell out, getting this out of here and mailed it to me without any warning. And so I have them. If he hadn't done that, they would have gone out, God knows, you know, when they left the house.
Starting point is 00:05:30 Fantastic. So I got them. I would volunteer to do my record collection, but I think most of the songs I like are 27 minutes long. Yeah. Yeah, you just like deep,
Starting point is 00:05:38 what, King Crimson? Genesis Supper's Ready. Deep album cuts. There goes the whole show. Yeah, we'll just sit here in silence and be absolutely puzzled and perplexed.
Starting point is 00:05:45 Gilbert's looking at his swag. Yes. Ponderous. Does all that go in the bottom of the closet? Oh, yes, yes. Well, this one I can draw pictures in. There you go. Okay.
Starting point is 00:05:55 There you go. So thank you to... Ned Hastings. To Ned Hastings. And he also said... Wait, there's somebody... There's more. And Chris Kelly.
Starting point is 00:06:03 Chris Kelly is the other guy. Casper Kelly. Casper Kelly. That's the name I was trying to think of. Bless your heart. So thank you to Chris and Casper, same person. And also to the very generous Ned Hastings. And Frank tells me that we have a lot of fans at the Cartoon Network. Yeah, well, what I
Starting point is 00:06:17 love is I record a lot for Cartoon Network and then Ned reached out one day and said, hey, I'm a fan of the show and I also get your files next after you record. How nice. Which is super cool. Yeah, we were talking about Batman movies on Facebook, Ned and I.
Starting point is 00:06:31 And as I said, this is just the tip of the iceberg because there's a lot more swag in the box, including T-shirts, Gilbert, which really gives you a chubby. Yes. And we also want to thank Ben Walker's story. So we'll get to the show, and we'll get to the meat of Raybone.
Starting point is 00:06:46 All right. Dirty. There's some kind of weird metaphor there that I just made. Let's not do that. So I want to give you a break and start with an easy one. Okay. So one of the first things I pull in my 45s. Tilt that screen a little bit toward you so that I don't actually see it in my peripheral vision.
Starting point is 00:07:02 So are you ready? The two Daves are here, and they're playing along through the glass. That's right. Feel free to play at home. I have a 45 RPM record with one side says, Love Me Do and the other side says, P.S. I Love You. The question is, who wrote, who is credited
Starting point is 00:07:18 with writing these songs on the 45? Oh. Is this a trick question? It's a... So, it's not Lennon and McCartney? It is not Lennon and McCartney. 45. Oh. Is this a trick question? So it's not Lennon and McCartney? It is not Lennon and McCartney. Love Me Do and what was the other one? Yes, I Love You. They weren't written.
Starting point is 00:07:32 Those are not Lennon and McCartney compositions? Wow. Was it the guy we had on the American show? Because I had those also, I think. You breaking news or is this a trick question? I think I'm breaking news. It wasn't Lennon and McCartney. It was the Beatles. Both tunes are credited and McCartney, it was the Beatles.
Starting point is 00:07:45 Both tunes are credited to McCartney-Lennon. Oh. I'm going to hit him. Seidel had it. He knew it. He's pumping his fist. He knew it. How about that?
Starting point is 00:07:56 Come on, that was a giveaway. Isn't that weird, though? I don't think that ever... That is a little weird. So that one I think might be worth a fortune. At some point they decided to go alphabetical. Yeah, yeah. So, all right, so now we get to go alphabetical. Yeah. Yeah. So.
Starting point is 00:08:05 All right. So now we get to the hard ones. Okay. The real ones. I'm excited. So, Frank, you want to try? That one was just annoying. That one was just annoying. He hasn't even done one yet and Gilbert's pissed off.
Starting point is 00:08:16 That's the kind of thing you tell your friends in school and they beat you up over it. This does not bode well. Yeah. Okay. Here we go. It's like, that wasn't Burt Bacharach. It was Mr. Bacharach. Yeah. It's like, that wasn't Burt Baccarat, it was Mr. Baccarat. Okay, all right.
Starting point is 00:08:28 Hopefully we got our first lead on Burt Baccarat today. Oh, great. That would be good. Cross your fingers. I'm working it. Oh my God.
Starting point is 00:08:35 All right, Frankie. Here we go. Here's song number one. Ba-ba-ba-ba-ba-ba-ba Ho-ma-ma-ma Pa-pa-ho-ma-ma Pa-pa-ho-ma-ma Pa-pa-ho-ma-ma
Starting point is 00:08:43 Pa-pa-ho-ma-ma Pa-pa-ho-ma-ma Pa-pa-ho-ma-ma Pa-pa-ho-ma-ma Pa-pa-ho-ma-ma Pa-pa-ho-ma-ma Pa-pa-ho-ma-ma Pa-pa-ho-ma-ma
Starting point is 00:08:43 Pa-pa-ho-ma-ma Pa-pa-ho-ma-ma Pa-pa-ho-ma-ma Pa-pa-ho-ma-ma Pa-pa-ho-ma-ma Pa-pa-ho-ma-ma Pa-pa-ho-ma-ma Pa-pa-ho-ma-ma Pa-pa-ho-ma-ma Was that the bird? I'm tearing up what you're It's the same song. Is this not Lennon?
Starting point is 00:08:46 Was that the bird? It's the same song. Pretty much, right? The bird is the word. Yeah. But this isn't. Is it called umpapa maumau? Papa umpapa maumau.
Starting point is 00:09:13 We'll let it play a little bit. Gilbert said it's very similar to the song. He's right. The bird is the word. There were three follow-up songs. What were the three follow-up songs? First of all, who performed Papa Umau Mau? Salt-N-Pepa. No, that's not right.
Starting point is 00:09:28 So these are obviously the guys who did the bird. Well, it's a little more complicated than that. So these guys. I'm stumped. The Rivingtons. The Rivingtons. Which didn't ring a bell with me at all, even though I own a record. They played at my bar mitzvah.
Starting point is 00:09:44 Should have known this. There were three follow-up songs. The first one was The Bird by the Rivingtons, again. Later the same year. Well, now everybody's heard about the bird. The bird, the bird.
Starting point is 00:09:58 Used to great effect in Good Morning Vietnam. So they didn't have a great amount of range. No, no. They stuck with the winner. You know, go with the winner. Now, the third one.
Starting point is 00:10:12 There's an um-ah-mow version of the Battle of the Republic that you'd love. The third one was by the Trash Men, and that was Surf and Bird. Yet again, same melody, similar nonsense words. Did you give all of them to him? I let everybody say about the bird. Oh, this is the one from Good Morning Vietnam. This is the Surf and Bird. Yet again, same melody, similar nonsense. Did you give all of them to him? I let everybody's head about the bird. Oh, this is the one from Good Morning Vietnam.
Starting point is 00:10:29 And also Family Guy. Yes, of course. Yeah. So they had a huge legal mess over this. The Trashmen were like a garage band. The Trashmen were basically ripping off the Rivingtons. Exactly.
Starting point is 00:10:43 Now we're on board. And the Rivingtons. Exactly. Okay, now we're on board. And the Rivingtons didn't have that much to work with to begin with. For them to be stolen from. And they say there was no legal trouble. They put everybody's name on the song. And in the 1970s, Surfing Bird was revived by the Ramones and the Cramps. I don't know the Cramps. Wow.
Starting point is 00:11:04 I'm waiting for Pharrell Williams' version personally. This is impressive. So isn't it, you know, you didn't know that. I don't know the cramps. Wow. I'm waiting for Pharrell Williams' version, personally. This is impressive. So, isn't it, you know, you didn't know that. I didn't know that. I know the surfing bird. It's been used. Is that the name of the song? It's been used a lot and to great effect. You had the original pressings of these?
Starting point is 00:11:15 You had the original 45s? Well, I don't know if it's here. I think so, because it was about the right time. Very impressive. Milstein is nodding in there like he knows this stuff. He may. He's a music guy. All right, I'm frightened.
Starting point is 00:11:26 We're going to have to bring him back and do Dave's record collection. Yeah, that's right. All right. I've got to get it downloaded. And that song was written by Paul and John. You'll never forget that now, Gil. No. All right, you want to go to number two, Frank?
Starting point is 00:11:43 Let's do it. All right, here it comes. Ready? I've never heard these. Wow. Sounds like 60s, doesn't it? What to do If a boy makes eyes at you
Starting point is 00:12:00 Tell me, mama, what to say I love this and I don't know it. Yeah. I thought you'd like it because it's kind of risque. Yeah. Sort of Leslie Gore-ish, but not obviously. No, so I'll give you a hint. Girl group.
Starting point is 00:12:24 Is it a girl group or a solo? It's a girl singer. Now, from 1961 until 1963, Helen Shapiro, who I never heard of, was England's teenage pop music queen. That's right. Thank you, Adolph. That's all I care about. That's it. Okay, moving on.
Starting point is 00:12:42 Helen Shapiro. She was England's teenage pop music queen and she was so big that every record label was scrambling to have its own teenage pop music queen. And this was one of those who I think was 14
Starting point is 00:12:53 when she recorded her name as Christine Quaid. This was, now this one we just heard was Christine Quaid? Right. Did you know of Christine Quaid, Gilbert? No.
Starting point is 00:13:02 Or Helen Shapiro. It's her alter ego. I'd like to read up on Helen Shapiro. Well, you know of Christine Quaid, Gilbert? No. Or Helen Shapiro. That's her alter ego. I'd like to read up on Helen Shapiro. Well, you know, I'm kind of surprised you don't know her because she spent some time on the local amateur circuit in Leeds, England. You didn't cross paths. Oh, yeah. I spent a lot of time there. When Gilbert was in the original Georgie Girl.
Starting point is 00:13:22 Original name of McCartney's Helen Wheels, by the way, Helen Shapiro. Yeah. And she might have, Christine Quaid might have had another hit, but her record company went bankrupt. Christine Quaid. Christine Quaid. The other reason was nobody ever heard of her. I'm just so glad, I'm glad these are in your collection. I'm enjoying them.
Starting point is 00:13:42 I've never heard of these people. I see why your father sent them back, though. One more tidbit reference to what you were just saying. Yeah. Christine Quaid's last single, which went exactly nowhere, was called
Starting point is 00:13:51 Long After Tonight Is All Over by Burt Bacharach and Hal David. How about that? Just went nowhere. Nothing. How about that?
Starting point is 00:13:57 Now I'm going to do some deep research on Christine Quaid. All right. Is she still with us? I don't think so. Okay, I'm sorry to hear that. I'm not sure about that.
Starting point is 00:14:05 David and Bacharach. I'm not sure. King of the callback here. A lot of people think it was Bacharach, David, but they're wrong. Alright, Raybone. You know, Frank pulled away some plastic wrap
Starting point is 00:14:21 when I was opening his... The guy has zero instincts about a microphone. How long have you been in showbiz? He shakes a glass with ice cubes in it. He peels cellophane off of a gift when he gets it. I'm waiting
Starting point is 00:14:36 for him to show up with a bag of walnuts. Guys, I brought a little water feature to put in the studio. Christ. I brought in some parakeets. I don't like these. Next week, Gilbert brings bubble wrap to the show. All right, song number three. Number three.
Starting point is 00:14:53 Here it comes. I've never heard them. It's Good News Week. Someone's dropped a bomb somewhere This is clearly a British invasion. The only question on this is who sings this? Do you know the song? I'm going to take a wild guess because it sounds like a band called Circle that Paul Simon wrote a song called Red Rubber Ball. It's not. I'm way off.
Starting point is 00:15:46 But it sounds like them. It sounds like them. I once was on a TV show, maybe Night Court, and I met one of the crew guys, introduced himself to me, and he was one of the members of Circle. Wow. C-Y-R-K-L-E. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:16:03 Yeah, Circle. Morning sun is shining like a red rubber ball. Da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da I just thought it was worth it just because I like the name. I should have known she'd bid me farewell. There's a lesson to be learned. A better song. I learned my lesson well. Always running, never leaving. That's the life you lead.
Starting point is 00:16:37 I took myself with my tears. That's all I got to do. And I think it's going to be all right. Yes, the worst is over now. The morning sun is shining like a red rubber ball. Okay, raise your hand if you wish Paul had picked that one. Everybody. Oh, wait.
Starting point is 00:16:58 Everybody knows that one. Wait, do you know their other song? I'm pretty sure this is Circle. their other song? I'm pretty sure this is Circle. It's much too groovy a summer's day to spend
Starting point is 00:17:13 running round in the city. Don't know it. It's a turned down day. Nothing on my mind. I don't know who that is, but that's good. Gilbert's personally bringing Circle back. You know this one. Oh, nice. Nothing on my mind. I do. I do. Very good. I don't know who that is, but that's good.
Starting point is 00:17:26 Very good. Gilbert's personally bringing Circle back. Yeah. Single-handedly. I'm bringing back Circle, jerk. He's bringing Sexy back. You don't have to do your record collection. You could just come in and do your brain.
Starting point is 00:17:36 Yes. You've stumped us so far, Paul. Okay. All right. I'm going to try to give you an easy one here. This is a deep dive, my friend. Try the one that was before this one, Frank, please. There's nothing there.
Starting point is 00:17:47 There's nothing there? Okay, we'll skip that one then. I'll tell you, there were a couple of interesting things about that. That one was, that's the way boys are by whom? I never heard of the whom. Are they really the way boys are? That's the way boys are. That's the way boys are.
Starting point is 00:18:02 They all sound like something else. Not Connie Francis. Leslie Gore. Leslie Gore. Leslie Gore. That's the way boys are. They all sound like something else. Not Connie Francis. Leslie Gore. Leslie Gore. Leslie Gore. That's the way boys are. Shame on me. And she had some other hits and things.
Starting point is 00:18:11 Shame on me. In 1963, she recorded a composition called Sunshine, Lollipops, and Rainbows. Of course. I know that one. And who wrote that one? It was his first hit. Give me a hint. Give me a first initial.
Starting point is 00:18:28 Chorus line. Oh, yeah. Marvin Hamlisch. Marvin Hamlisch. Very good. Sunshine lollipops and rainbows. All right. Sorry, I can't play that for you,
Starting point is 00:18:35 but we'll move on. Imagine it. Just imagine it. Close your eyes. I thought I knew Leslie Gore. I'll tell you. I'm having an off night. I discovered about a dozen Leslie Gore singles.
Starting point is 00:18:44 I had every Leslie Gore single. Well, I played one on this song on this show, California Nights, which you were not familiar with from Batman. We will return to Gilbert Gottfried's
Starting point is 00:18:53 amazing, colossal podcast after this. Okay, Paulie. This next song is named after a deli chain in New York City. You're going to get it right away.
Starting point is 00:19:02 Great. Oh, it's Zeger and Evans. You own this? They make the fresh meat. I own this. With the mariachi. Yeah. This is great stuff.
Starting point is 00:19:16 We should have had this on the show before a few times. If only we had. You know, it's as relevant today as it was 50 years ago. Except we're that much closer to it. In the year 3535 Ain't gonna need to tell the truth A true one-hit wonder. What's interesting musically about this?
Starting point is 00:19:40 Besides the Spanish influence? Besides that, it changes key almost every verse. It's unusual. Interesting. Musically and medically. This is the song that kicked off the first music mini we ever did, which was One Hit Wonders. From, I believe, 1969.
Starting point is 00:20:00 You're right. So this song is 50 years old. So this is the first one that I'm at least I'm familiar with yeah me too me too yeah
Starting point is 00:20:09 okay but I'm not they're not gonna be too that one I just like because I just thought we should listen to it
Starting point is 00:20:15 you know for old time's sake okay for old time's sake what are you Abe Vigoda okay Zeger and Evans love Zeger hated Evans what are you Abe Vigoda? Okay.
Starting point is 00:20:28 Zeger and Evans. Love Zeger hated Evans as we said last time. Okay. You have the next one Frank please sir. You got another Helen Shapiro hit?
Starting point is 00:20:34 Here it comes. It's so groovy now that people are trying to get together saying it's so wonderful that people are that people are finally getting together. Think it's so wonderful. That people are finally getting together. People are finally getting together.
Starting point is 00:20:55 Reach out in the darkness. Reach out in the darkness. I think he's got it. Yeah. Look, if you don't like it, we can stop it right now. Great single. Good one, right? I have such respect for you that you own these.
Starting point is 00:21:15 Okay, now, I'm not going to let you off that easy. Who sang it? Gilbert. Helen Shapiro. And the Trash Men. Helen Shapiro under her alias as Friend and Lover. Yeah, Friend and Lover. Friend and Lover. See, I should have known that.
Starting point is 00:21:28 All right. We knew the song. This was an anthem adopted by the protest movement. You wouldn't be surprised to hear. I wouldn't be. But you might be surprised to know that in the 1970s, it became a staple of some Christian rock groups. Really? Yeah.
Starting point is 00:21:41 Wow. Who thought its message somehow had something to do with... I'm going to stop right there. It's very... That's a good choice. Gilbert knew it. I'm impressed. Okay.
Starting point is 00:21:51 All right. Very good. Did we know that one, Daves? They're nodding. They're nodding. It's about time you guys knew one of these things, you know. Well, we knew Zeger and Evans for Christ's sake. Your bonus track.
Starting point is 00:22:03 My bonus track. All right. Here we go. How are we doing on time, Frank? We're doing great. I have no idea how long, but it's great. Fantastic. Let's keep going until we all fall asleep. This next band, I'll give you one clue before we play it. They invented Fudgy the Whale. Great. Tom
Starting point is 00:22:16 Carville and the Trash Men. Yes. Could you be more obscure with these selections? You recognize the melody at all? Nope. I think the idea behind this, Paul, was that we should be able to actually get some of them. Actually get some of them. All right, this is You Don't Have to Be a Baby to Cry
Starting point is 00:22:43 by The Caravelles. Reach number three on the US chart. Number three on the Billboard chart. I mean, that's respectable. I've never heard this song in my fucking life. You, Gilbert? I'm convinced that Paul made all these records five minutes before coming in here. If you see the video, it's wonderful.
Starting point is 00:23:03 He's versatile. It's a very 80s nightclub thing going on. Dave, do we know this song? This is a no. Okay, but here's why you should have known this song. It became the first British record on the Hot 100's Top 40 in 1964. The first one beating Cliff Richard by two weeks
Starting point is 00:23:21 and The Beatles by three weeks. What is the name of this act? The Caravelles. The Caravelles. Nope. Richard by two weeks and The Beatles by three weeks. What is the name of this act? The Caravelles. The Caravelles. Nope. No. Don't let yourself be embarrassed like this again. I'll go back to Vernerost's cookie puss clue or whatever it was. Fudgy the whale.
Starting point is 00:23:36 Do you know the joke, how does Tom Carvell take a shit? You know that one? Yes, I'm familiar. God. Where did you find these songs? In my record collection. That was the assignment. Did you cut these off the back of Alphabet's boxes? All right.
Starting point is 00:23:52 Okay, let's move along. You know, we got some music experts in the booth, and you're fucking with them, too. You're stumping them. Well, I just met them. I should probably be a little rude to be fucking with them so quickly. Here we go. All right, this next one.
Starting point is 00:24:05 More obscurity. After school is over, we can't. Oh, right. Not a clue. Baby, I want you to come. I'm noticing a recurring motif. We'll be there, let me tell you. Here's the hook.
Starting point is 00:24:23 442 Glenwood Avenue. Nothing. the hook. 442 Glenwood Avenue. It's called 442 Glenwood Avenue. Nope. Yep. That's where Helen Shapiro lived. They made two appearances. Here's the other reason you should know them. They made two appearances on the Ted Mack Amateur Hour.
Starting point is 00:24:37 Gil, anything? No. Besides wanting to hit Paul. Dave's experts, nothing. This is very upsetting. Paul has managed to take a fun premise. Yeah, yeah. And turn it into a dull homework assignment.
Starting point is 00:24:53 Yeah, yeah. But look at the things I'm opening, Paul. I'm opening you up to some wonderful stuff. This is just added to my list of reasons to never have Paul here ever again. I thought it was a foolproof premise. Can I mention it this time? It was always enjoyable before, and you fucking killed it. Adorable, foolproof premise.
Starting point is 00:25:21 The audience could sing along. Oh, I love that song. It was relaxing. You just unwind. And you fucking killed it. There are five people sitting here staring at him. I'd have to tell you how this all started, too. I can deliver the final death blow here.
Starting point is 00:25:36 Earlier during the full episode, I said to Paul, do you have the links for the mini? And he handed me like a 10-page printout of all the YouTube links. That's great. That's not how this works. This is our crack researcher, folks. We're lucky we have any music at all here. We're never going to have one of these premises ever again.
Starting point is 00:25:55 Thank you, Paul. I'm just amazed Paul could get his 45s into the computer like that. That's not easy. You see, the premise is basically to come up with some that are stumpers, but for the purposes of being entertaining, and so the audience at home can say, oh my god, I know
Starting point is 00:26:14 that song. The premise is you don't want to throw yourself in front of a tree. Choose that, Jay. Choose songs that more than one person might know. Alright, well I got two or three more. I person might know. All right. Well, I got two or three more. I might be able to redeem myself here.
Starting point is 00:26:28 It's sort of an audience identification. Please. Stop. Stop. Please. Stop. Try the next one, Frank. They should know this one.
Starting point is 00:26:35 Oh, yeah. Definitely. Let's get right to it. Here we go. Take a look. I got this one. Oh, what? What?
Starting point is 00:26:43 This is The Seekers. The Seekers. The Seekers. Whoa. I forgot the name of the goddamn song. Hang on. You ready? Right. Let's make this the one.
Starting point is 00:26:55 Yeah. The Seekers. Yep. 12-string guitar. Yeah, it's... It's... It's... I'll never find another you. It's, it's, it's.
Starting point is 00:27:09 I'll never find another you. I know I'll never find another you. I know I'll never find another you. Oh, okay. You know this one, don't you? Oh, yes, yes. This one I know. Paul, you've almost redeemed yourself. No.
Starting point is 00:27:23 You know. Not after the torture. Here's something you were like. That, you've almost redeemed yourself. No. No. Not after the torture. Here's something you were like. That is Codge. Stop and tell now. Which one of their songs became... Because I know I'll never find another you. I love you guys singing that to me.
Starting point is 00:27:39 It's great. Beautiful. Yeah. Well, there was the Seekers and there was the New Seekers. The New Seekers, that's right. Well, their big hit was Georgie Girl. I was just going to say, well, yeah. That was their monster hit.
Starting point is 00:27:48 That was it. From the movie. Yeah. Correct. I got one! Correct. You might get the next one. Salvation.
Starting point is 00:27:58 So, it did not get, it was nominated for an Academy Award in 1967. But it lost to... 1967? 1967. Up the Down Staircase. Give us the movie and we'll tell you the song. This song came out in a recent episode. Recently we asked somebody, what song made you cry?
Starting point is 00:28:25 Or something like that, and this was the answer. This is the song. Everything you've what song made you cry? Or something like that. And this was the answer. This was the song. Everything you've done has made me cry. So the answer is Born Free. Oh, it lost to Born Free. Oh, okay. John Barry. Somebody just mentioned Born Free came up within the last couple of weeks.
Starting point is 00:28:39 It was Richard Marks. Was it Richard Marks? Yeah, he said Born Free made him cry. That's right. So this song lost best song, Oscar, to Born Free. Oh, well, we should be able to get this, Gilly. Yeah, I'm hoping. Is it Ellen Shapiro?
Starting point is 00:28:55 No, it was The Seekers. Georgie Gould was the one that lost. Oh, you're giving the fact after the song. Right, right. Very good. Okay, good. All right, okay. All right, I've given up.
Starting point is 00:29:04 Okay, how many more you got? I got two more, I think. Gilbert's drinking bleach. Are we there yet? All right, try the
Starting point is 00:29:12 next one, Frank. All right. I don't wanna. No, this one you're totally gonna know. Okay. Some harmonica in there. Oh, I know.
Starting point is 00:29:27 This is every retail commercial in the 70s. Come in the shop, right? We're can peas. Yeah. Yeah. The garden walls. Oh, God. What is the name of the song?
Starting point is 00:29:43 You'll get around to it eventually. God damn it. It became a famous band, if that helps. You want to know what you're getting Here in the game With a sigh Every variety show in the 70s covers this. Yes, yes.
Starting point is 00:30:04 Once again I want to tell you It's a great song. variety show in the 70s covered this. Donnie and Marie. It's actually a great song. It was first published in 1933 as piano sheet music. I'm going to open a vein. What is the name of this song? Deep Purple. By Nino Tempo and April Stevens. Yeah, Donnie Osmond covered this.
Starting point is 00:30:21 Tell me what nationality these people are. Their real names are Antonino and Carol Vincenete Lottempio. My people. Your people. Yeah. What Gilbert calls fucking Dagos. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:30:30 No, I call them fucking guineas. My peeps. I don't use the term Dagos. Deep purple. Should have known that. I say fucking guineas. And it was played by Paul Whiteman's famous big band. Yes, Paul Whiteman Orchestra.
Starting point is 00:30:43 I'm pretty sure Donny Osmond covered that song. Do I have anything on this, Milstein? Nah, he's not giving me a buy-in on that one. All right, let's do one more. We have exactly one more. Because Gilbert is fashioning a rope together out of all of our sport coats. Before he kicks the stool away. He's making a rope out of crumbled up plastic bottles that he's got next to him.
Starting point is 00:31:04 Here we go. You'll know this one. Yeah. No. Oh, yeah, yeah. Let's just call it Land of a Thousand. Name of this fucking thing. God.
Starting point is 00:31:26 These are... I'm picturing Drew Carey doing this. Yes, I know. Drew Carey joke. What the hell is the name of this thing? You know it, Gilbert? You recognize it? I know the song, but I don't know the title or one word in it.
Starting point is 00:31:45 I'll give you some hints. It was first recorded by the Isley Brothers. Isley Brothers. That helps. And it was in what movie? Maybe lots of them, but one that's notable. Lots of movies. Lots of movies.
Starting point is 00:32:00 Definitely the Drew Carey show. Hillbill Volume 1. Oh, okay. Very good. That's going to say Animal House. And it's called Nobody But Me. It's the human beans. B-E-I-N-Z.
Starting point is 00:32:12 Oh, human beans. Human beans. And there was something that you should know, you will know now. It's 31 repetitions of the word no fulfilled Casey Kasem's book of records category of the most repetitive word or phrase in a top 100 hit. How about that, Gil? A Casey Kasem reference. I'm glad I came in. What did it just beat in terms of frequency of a word?
Starting point is 00:32:39 Paul, would you get out? Ain't no sunshine. I know. Ain't no sunshine. And the repetition was I know oh Bill Withers Bill Withers
Starting point is 00:32:47 very good okay that's it you stumped the shit out of us Pat yeah wow I'm glad to see
Starting point is 00:32:53 how you enjoyed it it warms my heart I can't say I enjoyed it no but on the other hand you did you did a you did a creditable job
Starting point is 00:33:02 of coming up with it's a sign of respect that I didn't give you easy ones. You definitely did not give us easy ones. This was where we got to kind of. Yeah, maybe three. Yeah, two or three where we went, ah, yeah. I don't think there was one where we got the... I did one, the Seekers doing Never Find Another You.
Starting point is 00:33:23 But that was the only one where we got the title and the artist. In the year 2525. And you threw that one. That was a layup you threw at us. Wow. And now here's Sting to take us out. Fucking ponderous. That's fucking fun.
Starting point is 00:33:41 Thank you, Paul. That's all I got. That's the whole thing right there. That's a pretty impressive record collection. I have to say. That is. That's all I got. That's the whole thing. That's a pretty impressive record collection. That is. That's surreal. I noticed it was dominated by a lot of young women, so I guess I have some idea what I was thinking about in those days.
Starting point is 00:33:53 Dominating young women. Frankie, you want to take us out on Surfing Bird? Oh, absolutely. As Gilbert signs off. By the way, there's a great video. I don't want to listen to you anymore. Anyway, this has been Gilbert and Frank's amazing colossal obsessions. And Paul's farewell.
Starting point is 00:34:12 That was so sad. That was so sad. Picked his own farewell music. Good night and good luck. Thanks, Frank. Thanks, Dave Seidel. Thanks, Dave Milstein. Thank you, Paulie.
Starting point is 00:34:24 Thank you. Did anyone think this was going to go any differently? I'm just... No. Nope. You're the best of all memories You wander on back to me Breathe in my name
Starting point is 00:34:39 With a sigh In the still of the night Once again I hold you tight Though you're gone in love With some wind, moonlight, breeze And as long as my heart will beat Sweet lovers will always meet Here in my deep purple dream
Starting point is 00:35:10 When the deep purple falls Over sleepy garden walls And the stars begin to twinkle In the mist of a memory, you wander back to me, breathing my name with a sigh, with a sigh, in the steel of the night Once again I hold you tight, oh you're gone, you're lost Listen when will I be? And as long as my heart will beat, sweet lovers will always meet, here in my deep purple dreams. Always me Here in my deep Purple dreams
Starting point is 00:36:26 Here in my deep Purple dreams Here in my deep Purple dreams Here in my deep
