Top 5 Huey Lewis Hits: From Sports to Back to the Future
Huey Lewis and the News dominated the 80s with blue-collar rock and infectious hooks, but which tracks are truly the best? For many fans, choosing between a movie anthem like "The Power of Love" and a vocal masterclass like "Naturally" is nearly impossible. In this episode of Top 5, hosts Garrett Gonzales and Mike Joseph take on the challenge of ranking their five favorite songs from the legendary Bay Area band.
The duo explores the band's transition from bar-band stalwarts to global superstars, debating the merits of the Sports era against their later hits. Whether it’s the rhythmic precision of "Hip to Be Square" or the soulful depth of their a cappella arrangements, Mike and Garrett provide a nostalgic yet critical look at why these songs remain cultural staples. Listeners will gain fresh insight into the band's songwriting process and the mid-80s music scene that propelled them to the top of the charts.

00:14.507 --> 00:32.570
[SPEAKER_00]: And I think, I think my, I'm actually very interested in what Mike has for his top five because my top five is going to be like very familiar to kind of like my 10 and 12-year-old self.
00:32.710 --> 00:39.859
[SPEAKER_00]: Like it really hasn't changed from the songs that I really enjoyed
00:40.362 --> 00:49.482

[SPEAKER_00]: Yes, yes.
00:50.785 --> 00:53.009

[SPEAKER_00]: Wow.
00:54.773 --> 00:56.196
[SPEAKER_01]: Are they actually, you know what I think?
00:56.216 --> 00:58.662
[SPEAKER_01]: We had a discussion about this way back in the day.
00:58.722 --> 01:00.666
[SPEAKER_00]: Way back in the day.
01:00.646 --> 01:03.454
[SPEAKER_00]: So hip, I'll spoil, hip to be squares.
01:03.474 --> 01:13.845
[SPEAKER_00]: My number one favorite you will listen and I knew the lyrics and knew all the lyrics to this song and you know it's kind of one of those things where
01:15.175 --> 01:22.811
[SPEAKER_00]: When I, you know, you've, you've done this before, which is you listen to an album and you're like, okay, that's the hit, that's the hit, that's the hit.
01:23.733 --> 01:32.492
[SPEAKER_00]: And then they come out on radio and you're like, oh, I'm glad that, you know, that they they released it because that's the one I thought was best song, you know, I was like that with.
01:34.548 --> 01:40.939
[SPEAKER_00]: TLC's waterfalls like when I heard that first album and you know, we've talked about that on 50 for 50.
01:41.019 --> 01:47.110
[SPEAKER_00]: I was like that's the that's that's the best song on the album and same with Boys to men.
01:47.270 --> 01:49.033
[SPEAKER_00]: I think it's evolution water runs dry.
01:50.015 --> 01:51.778
[SPEAKER_00]: I was like no, that's one of the second album.
01:52.199 --> 01:53.501
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, evolution, right.
01:53.682 --> 01:54.222
[SPEAKER_00]: Here's one two.
01:54.884 --> 01:55.565
[SPEAKER_00]: Oh, two two.
01:55.745 --> 01:56.066
[SPEAKER_00]: Okay.
01:56.326 --> 01:57.368
[SPEAKER_00]: Evolution's a third album.
01:57.608 --> 01:58.530
[SPEAKER_00]: My bad
01:58.510 --> 02:00.512
[SPEAKER_00]: so I was like, that's the best song in the album.
02:01.553 --> 02:07.019
[SPEAKER_00]: Casey and Jojo, when they came out all my life, I was like, that's got to be the single.
02:07.199 --> 02:09.381
[SPEAKER_00]: What are we doing here with these other songs?
02:09.401 --> 02:22.995
[SPEAKER_01]: I mean, I remember having that same conversation back, this is in my record store days and we play that album over and over and all of the women, particularly loved all my life and this is months before it got released to the single.
02:23.015 --> 02:25.497
[SPEAKER_00]: And so when four comes out,
02:25.477 --> 02:27.579
[SPEAKER_00]: hip to be squares my favorite song in the album.
02:28.220 --> 02:32.243
[SPEAKER_00]: Now, some of that is because the 49ers are singing.
02:33.084 --> 02:41.872
[SPEAKER_00]: So when that song comes out and it actually makes the radio, I'm like so excited.
02:41.952 --> 02:43.694
[SPEAKER_00]: I'm like, oh my gosh, I can't believe it.
02:43.754 --> 02:45.856
[SPEAKER_00]: Like they actually put this out as a single.
02:46.416 --> 02:47.878
[SPEAKER_00]: They were listening to you Garrett.
02:48.078 --> 02:48.298
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah.
02:48.338 --> 02:52.362
[SPEAKER_00]: Well, you know, I was, I was just like, uh,
02:52.342 --> 03:18.855
[SPEAKER_00]: over my head over heels and this is when you know we were talking about it on the Huey Lewis 50 for 50 where I would have my little tiny boom box and I would have my cassette in there and I would have it in the position of record and pause and I would just wait for hip to be square to come on and then I would unpause it and then get the whole song and you know back then it
03:19.021 --> 03:27.658
[SPEAKER_00]: I for that whatever mix tape that was I probably had to be square on there like five times like what do you need the song five times for but it was just like so exciting.
03:27.738 --> 03:29.385
[SPEAKER_00]: Oh my gosh, it's on the radio.
03:29.517 --> 03:39.068
[SPEAKER_00]: Uh, another song that I would always record is going to make you laugh because it's a little bit of a grown-inducing, but that's what friends are for.
03:39.188 --> 03:42.412
[SPEAKER_00]: I just thought it was so special to have all of those people on the same song.
03:42.612 --> 03:44.695
[SPEAKER_00]: And so like, man, like, I had the tiger.
03:44.755 --> 03:51.863
[SPEAKER_00]: That's what friends are for and hip to be square just like littered throughout all of my old mixed tapes when I'm a little kid.
03:52.197 --> 03:53.960
[SPEAKER_01]: That is a monthly crew of songs.
03:54.080 --> 03:59.888
[SPEAKER_01]: I, you know, that's what friends are for is one of those songs that just got played out over a period of time.
03:59.908 --> 04:01.551
[SPEAKER_01]: And it got real corny, real fast.
04:01.591 --> 04:06.918
[SPEAKER_01]: But I was at a show last year, seeing Gladys and Patty perform.
04:07.760 --> 04:09.362
[SPEAKER_01]: And Axe Patty's not on the record.
04:09.382 --> 04:14.610
[SPEAKER_01]: When I talk about seeing Gladys perform with Patty and Shaka Khan is Stephanie Mills.
04:15.231 --> 04:17.614
[SPEAKER_01]: And as I'm on the merch line,
04:18.438 --> 04:22.164
[SPEAKER_01]: That's what friends are for is playing and I'm like tearing up.
04:22.265 --> 04:23.186
[SPEAKER_01]: I don't know what the hell.
04:23.206 --> 04:26.712
[SPEAKER_01]: I'm just like, oh, this is weird because I don't like this song.
04:27.093 --> 04:29.978
[SPEAKER_01]: But in the moment, it just like it hit me in the right place.
04:30.779 --> 04:32.642
[SPEAKER_01]: So no shade to that's what friends are for.
04:33.864 --> 04:34.626
[SPEAKER_00]: All right, let's go.
04:34.666 --> 04:36.228
[SPEAKER_00]: So do you want to go first?
04:36.249 --> 04:37.010
[SPEAKER_00]: You want me to go first?
04:37.531 --> 04:38.072
[SPEAKER_00]: You go first.
04:38.092 --> 04:39.174
[SPEAKER_00]: I think I went first last time.
04:39.855 --> 04:40.075
[SPEAKER_00]: All right.
04:40.536 --> 04:44.142
[SPEAKER_00]: So number five and you would actually
04:44.358 --> 04:45.620
[SPEAKER_00]: hate this song as well.
04:46.521 --> 04:50.006
[SPEAKER_00]: But it is the other song in which the 49ers sing background.
04:50.166 --> 04:52.329
[SPEAKER_00]: It is called Walking with the Kid.
04:52.389 --> 04:54.913
[SPEAKER_00]: And you know, when I was really young.
04:54.973 --> 05:00.801
[SPEAKER_00]: So this again, this 1986, 1988 actually, because it's on the small world album.
05:01.802 --> 05:06.889
[SPEAKER_00]: For some reason, even when I was a little kid and that's probably because my parents were young.
05:06.869 --> 05:33.113
[SPEAKER_00]: I'd always like had this idea of like, okay, when I'm at this age, then I'm going to get married and then I'm going to have my own family and so walking with the kid is about like a son and his dad and like, you know, they're just kind of hanging out and, you know, there's a line that is so corny, but it's it's the line is the bad guys all respect us because we're family.
05:33.430 --> 05:44.930
[SPEAKER_00]: And like I was envisioned like, you know, this is kind of going to be what I want to do when I get older and, you know, my kids at 24 in 25.
05:45.251 --> 05:54.848
[SPEAKER_00]: So yeah, I just that that was like, I don't know, it's a little bit of like a premonition for me that song and 40 that are seeing the background.
05:56.228 --> 06:00.035
[SPEAKER_01]: I guess I got a dig back into small world.
06:00.195 --> 06:01.698
[SPEAKER_00]: You will not like this song.
06:01.738 --> 06:05.405
[SPEAKER_00]: The song is so simplistic and corny, but it hits me.
06:05.465 --> 06:11.115
[SPEAKER_00]: It hit me when I was 12 or yeah, when I was 12 and it still loves to love it today.
06:11.213 --> 06:11.634
[SPEAKER_01]: Okay.
06:12.675 --> 06:16.539
[SPEAKER_01]: My number five is actually the only song on this list that was not a single.
06:17.420 --> 06:18.822
[SPEAKER_01]: It is by remember correctly.
06:18.842 --> 06:19.823
[SPEAKER_01]: It's on picture this.
06:20.524 --> 06:24.049
[SPEAKER_01]: It's called, tell me a little lie and I don't know.
06:24.109 --> 06:26.592
[SPEAKER_01]: I like that song because it sounds like the police and I love the police.
06:28.654 --> 06:30.276
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, but great song.
06:31.377 --> 06:35.122
[SPEAKER_01]: If you're not familiar, go on to your streaming service of choice and check it out.
06:36.203 --> 06:39.027
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, in recollection, I went back to listen to picture this.
06:39.067 --> 06:40.208
[SPEAKER_00]: I was like,
06:40.357 --> 06:43.140
[SPEAKER_00]: he's he's ready like this.
06:43.160 --> 06:43.380
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah.
06:43.521 --> 06:43.681
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah.
06:43.701 --> 06:54.573
[SPEAKER_00]: It like they they they needed that album to kind of get a hit single so that people could pay attention to them and then it's like we need this and then we're going to give them sports and things are going to blow up.
06:54.593 --> 06:54.873
[SPEAKER_00]: Oh yeah.
06:55.694 --> 06:55.895
[SPEAKER_00]: All right.
06:55.915 --> 07:06.887
[SPEAKER_00]: Number four for me is a song called Naturally and it is a little bit of a
07:07.070 --> 07:12.302
[SPEAKER_00]: kind of like a little bit of like a do up song on four.
07:12.342 --> 07:14.227
[SPEAKER_00]: It's near the end of the record.
07:14.267 --> 07:19.459
[SPEAKER_00]: It's the second to last song on four and it's not.
07:19.574 --> 07:28.665
[SPEAKER_00]: one of his famous songs in any way, but it's got that like barbershop quartet, which is, I loved it when those guys would do that kind of stuff.
07:30.127 --> 07:38.276
[SPEAKER_00]: It's like less than three minutes, probably I'm the only one who really knows this song outside of the Huey Lewis die hearts, but I always love that song.
07:38.296 --> 07:41.300
[SPEAKER_00]: Cause it's very catchy, singable.
07:41.881 --> 07:47.067
[SPEAKER_00]: They make these weird noises and it's fun.
07:47.688 --> 08:06.220
[SPEAKER_01]: uh... you brought up the national anthem earlier and i think one thing that's important to mention when we're talking about he was in the news is that when they went out and did the national anthem they would do it in harmony uh... uh... um... uh... i i must have been uh... the eighty-eight world series or the eighty-nine world series
08:06.200 --> 08:10.265
[SPEAKER_01]: Which was the one with the bread where the Golden Gate Bridge or whatever?
08:10.605 --> 08:15.491
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, the world series of my nightmares and the giants got swept by these.
08:15.511 --> 08:18.294
[SPEAKER_01]: I would assume that you elusive news did.
08:18.454 --> 08:21.217
[SPEAKER_00]: I'm sure they did game three.
08:21.338 --> 08:27.645
[SPEAKER_00]: I'm sure they were supposed to do game three, but that's the game that gets the, that has the interference of the earthquake.
08:27.705 --> 08:30.789
[SPEAKER_00]: So, I wonder if they then came back when they restarted it?
08:32.571 --> 08:33.091
[SPEAKER_01]: That was 89.
08:33.111 --> 08:34.553
[SPEAKER_00]: 89, yeah.
08:36.811 --> 08:40.435
[SPEAKER_01]: Man, man, okay, well, I'm looking that up.
08:40.455 --> 08:46.682
[SPEAKER_00]: Well, I mean, but the version of the Star Spangled Banner that you're talking about, that's how they would do it.
08:46.702 --> 09:03.561
[SPEAKER_00]: It's just in harmony and like every time, it's, you know, you can go back to probably back to like 1984 when the 49ers were on top, all the way through the 80s because the 49ers and even into the 90s, I remember,
09:03.541 --> 09:09.807
[SPEAKER_00]: You know, because the Niners have been in the playoffs a lot in the in the the 2010s and the early 2020s as well.
09:10.348 --> 09:15.573
[SPEAKER_00]: And I'm almost sure that he will listen to news has come back to do the the star spangled banner for the games too.
09:16.614 --> 09:30.308
[SPEAKER_01]: Man, so it doesn't look like he was in the news did the anthem that you may have been supposed to Stevie Wonder was supposed to play during game three.
09:30.727 --> 10:00.413
[SPEAKER_01]: and uh... the whispers rock and steady uh... the national anthem for game two oh that would have been an oakland right uh... game four knelt Carter sings the national anthem wow uh... and it was a sweep so there you go yeah unfortunately for me yeah very sad time in my life you know so it was about to be the best year of my life by the way you know why
10:01.321 --> 10:16.332
[SPEAKER_00]: And then that same year the giant from the world series and I'm like, I'm going to get two of these things incredible and we're right in the middle of run TMC with the warrior's right and then it all just didn't work out is all went to crap.
10:18.236 --> 10:21.102
[SPEAKER_00]: All right, so what is your number four.
10:21.503 --> 10:24.190
[SPEAKER_01]: My number four is actually from picture this as well.
10:24.871 --> 10:28.160
[SPEAKER_01]: It is the second single from that album, which is hope you love me like you say you do.
10:28.601 --> 10:32.932
[SPEAKER_00]: Yep, that was on my that was on my the cusp of my list for sure.
10:33.313 --> 10:33.413
[SPEAKER_00]: Okay.
10:33.814 --> 10:37.082
[SPEAKER_01]: It's just like a super mellow.
10:37.062 --> 10:40.325
[SPEAKER_01]: kind of like easy going summary kind of song.
10:40.785 --> 10:47.272
[SPEAKER_01]: And he has a line about where he quotes the Beatles and says something about the love you make being equal to the love you take or something like that.
10:47.292 --> 10:48.893
[SPEAKER_01]: That was a really well written line.
10:50.955 --> 10:53.778
[SPEAKER_01]: But yeah, that's just a great song.
10:54.919 --> 10:57.261
[SPEAKER_01]: It wasn't a big hit when it was first released.
10:57.401 --> 10:58.862
[SPEAKER_01]: I don't think it peaked in the top 40.
11:00.224 --> 11:03.947
[SPEAKER_01]: But I remember hearing it on like easy listening radio.
11:03.927 --> 11:07.052
[SPEAKER_01]: quite a bit during the late 80s into the 90s.
11:07.353 --> 11:15.747
[SPEAKER_00]: So, so my number three is a song called old and tones.
11:16.648 --> 11:17.910
[SPEAKER_01]: Okay, I've heard of this song.
11:18.331 --> 11:23.099
[SPEAKER_00]: Now, so I was like, I just really did a quick search to see what the influences were.
11:23.119 --> 11:25.142
[SPEAKER_00]: And, um,
11:26.202 --> 11:31.951
[SPEAKER_00]: The influences to this song were Cajun and Zidico.
11:32.451 --> 11:33.914
[SPEAKER_00]: Is it my song that word correctly?
11:33.934 --> 11:34.635
[SPEAKER_01]: You're pronouncing that right?
11:34.835 --> 11:35.055
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah.
11:35.396 --> 11:35.676
[SPEAKER_00]: Okay.
11:36.457 --> 11:45.631
[SPEAKER_00]: So the song is a direct homage to the accordion-led funk music of French Creole speaking people of South Louisiana.
11:46.693 --> 11:52.041
[SPEAKER_00]: And who he was influenced by the King of Zidico, Clifton Scheneer.
11:53.422 --> 11:54.303
[SPEAKER_00]: which is interesting.
11:54.324 --> 12:00.915
[SPEAKER_00]: I never looked into the origin of this song because it's so different than anything that they've ever done.
12:01.796 --> 12:02.277
[SPEAKER_00]: Right.
12:03.219 --> 12:06.544
[SPEAKER_00]: And the shuffle feel of the track.
12:06.584 --> 12:09.169
[SPEAKER_00]: Now again, this is, you know, we're digging into Google here.
12:09.229 --> 12:11.252
[SPEAKER_00]: So some of this is possibly here, say.
12:11.312 --> 12:12.094
[SPEAKER_00]: But yes.
12:12.494 --> 12:19.446
[SPEAKER_00]: The shuffle feel of the track draws from artists like Professor Longhair and Fats Domino.
12:20.472 --> 12:27.231
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, but I really, I really, really love the song and Bruce Horns be placed the accordion on this one, as well.
12:27.271 --> 12:31.965
[SPEAKER_00]: So two Bruce Horns be references on Huey, let me use it.
12:31.985 --> 12:33.469
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, I mean, bye.
12:33.618 --> 12:43.194
[SPEAKER_01]: I think that Bruce Hornsby came into, as about to say, came into the league, came into the music business, like Hughie Lewis kind of gave him the assist.
12:44.016 --> 12:47.722
[SPEAKER_01]: He was, he was the Diana Ross to Bruce Hornsby's Jackson Five.
12:48.343 --> 12:53.652
[SPEAKER_00]: If you listen to this song, it just stands out as like,
12:53.632 --> 12:59.277
[SPEAKER_00]: like what like why is this song on this album like it's like so different than anything else that you've ever heard him.
12:59.457 --> 13:01.078
[SPEAKER_00]: So that's also like it.
13:01.098 --> 13:05.863
[SPEAKER_01]: Hey, give a shout out to Bruce Horne's be a who has worked significant with Spike Lee over the years.
13:05.883 --> 13:06.963
[SPEAKER_01]: So give him props for that.
13:08.084 --> 13:12.588
[SPEAKER_01]: Be for making that's just the way it is which is one of the greatest songs like ever.
13:13.429 --> 13:22.677
[SPEAKER_01]: And I saw him live in concert twice in 2019.
13:23.095 --> 13:23.736
[SPEAKER_00]: It's right.
13:23.756 --> 13:27.703
[SPEAKER_00]: Yes, interpolation or sample or whatever of change for change, right?
13:27.723 --> 13:28.444
[SPEAKER_01]: That is correct.
13:29.025 --> 13:30.607
[SPEAKER_01]: So shout out to Bruce Hornsby.
13:30.828 --> 13:31.048
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah.
13:31.789 --> 13:32.050
[SPEAKER_00]: All right.
13:32.070 --> 13:32.871
[SPEAKER_00]: What's three for you.
13:33.933 --> 13:34.894
[SPEAKER_01]: Three is stuck with you.
13:38.039 --> 13:40.243
[SPEAKER_01]: You know, I get why people kind of
13:41.101 --> 13:48.575
[SPEAKER_01]: mess around with for a little bit because I do think it got a little silly like certain changes that song is definitely cheesy.
13:48.595 --> 13:54.807
[SPEAKER_01]: Super cheesy stuck with you just kind of like sticks to landing there where it's it's 100% corny.
13:55.495 --> 14:00.321
[SPEAKER_01]: But Huey Lewis is got enough like charm and charisma to kind of like pull it off anyway.
14:01.423 --> 14:04.106
[SPEAKER_00]: He's tongue-in-cheeking a lot of these songs.
14:04.527 --> 14:06.830
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, and he's kind of making fun of himself.
14:07.130 --> 14:13.098
[SPEAKER_00]: It doesn't come across like the people who don't get it definitely have a problem with it.
14:13.799 --> 14:15.681
[SPEAKER_00]: But if you get Huey,
14:16.606 --> 14:18.689
[SPEAKER_00]: He's goofing the whole time.
14:18.749 --> 14:23.957
[SPEAKER_00]: He's like saying, look at how silly this thing is and look at what, you know, what we fret over in our life.
14:24.037 --> 14:26.160
[SPEAKER_00]: Like this is like, just let's have fun with this.
14:26.260 --> 14:29.004
[SPEAKER_01]: And that's a lot of self-deprecating.
14:29.825 --> 14:31.107
[SPEAKER_00]: And, you know, we'll talk about this.
14:31.568 --> 14:32.148
[SPEAKER_00]: Well, we won't.
14:32.209 --> 14:32.890
[SPEAKER_00]: Well, I'll just say it here.
14:32.930 --> 14:40.621
[SPEAKER_00]: But in hip-to-be square, he changed the lyrics from third person to first person.
14:42.083 --> 14:45.668
[SPEAKER_00]: And there was a little bit of irony there.
14:45.833 --> 15:10.322
[SPEAKER_00]: where people were given him shit for like oh you're saying that you're this and he's like I'm writing he's song is this not really about me like I could have had the lyrics and third person and then but this is like so he does stuff like that yeah all right I think you're up number two number two power of love it is uh there there is a
15:12.327 --> 15:19.396
[SPEAKER_00]: I haven't, I don't listen to power of love as much as the others because it is not on his albums.
15:19.416 --> 15:22.560
[SPEAKER_00]: Like if I just go through the discography and I listen all the albums, it's not there.
15:23.181 --> 15:27.186
[SPEAKER_00]: Like you said, you can go to the greatest hits and you can go to some other places to find it.
15:27.807 --> 15:31.873
[SPEAKER_00]: But it's not something that just comes up when I listen to Huey music.
15:31.893 --> 15:36.799
[SPEAKER_00]: So then when I do get to listen to it, it feels almost special to me.
15:36.779 --> 15:46.755
[SPEAKER_00]: because of how, you know, I just haven't listened to it over like something like, um, naturally, I've probably heard a, you know, twice as many times as I've heard power of love.
15:47.215 --> 15:51.682
[SPEAKER_00]: So I, okay, for whatever reason, like it just it stays in that like special state for me.
15:52.924 --> 15:54.887
[SPEAKER_01]: Good, and it's, it's songs should do that.
15:55.728 --> 15:57.351
[SPEAKER_01]: Um, my number two is heart and soul.
15:58.633 --> 16:00.576
[SPEAKER_01]: Uh, that is.
16:02.277 --> 16:02.718
[SPEAKER_01]: I don't know.
16:03.038 --> 16:04.702
[SPEAKER_01]: I just, I really love that song.
16:04.762 --> 16:05.884
[SPEAKER_01]: I never get tired of it.
16:06.625 --> 16:07.848
[SPEAKER_01]: It's danceable.
16:08.008 --> 16:10.713
[SPEAKER_01]: It's fun listening along with I've done it at karaoke before.
16:10.773 --> 16:17.366
[SPEAKER_01]: It's just, you know, it's one of those kind of just, it hits the spot.
16:18.628 --> 16:20.592
[SPEAKER_00]: And no one for me already mentioned, hip to be square.
16:20.632 --> 16:23.998
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, hip, hip, hip and everywhere.
16:25.126 --> 16:30.736
[SPEAKER_00]: they changed the title of the song at some point for some reason that I don't know.
16:31.157 --> 16:35.304
[SPEAKER_00]: Like it went from hip to be square to two hip to be square.
16:35.885 --> 16:42.778
[SPEAKER_00]: Like they added the two on it, like in some places, like it's kind of weird about the naming convention of that song.
16:43.379 --> 16:44.100
[SPEAKER_01]: That's silly.
16:45.363 --> 16:46.084
[SPEAKER_00]: Why would they do why?
16:46.244 --> 16:49.530
[SPEAKER_00]: I was kind of wondering if it was like the same reason for
16:50.337 --> 17:09.848
[SPEAKER_00]: this place hotel and heartbreak hotel and we had the jackson's discussion why they should but i don't know if i didn't i didn't know that there was another song called hip to be square so i wouldn't know why they why they would have to mess with the naming there's definitely not another song called hip to be sure nothing okay i can probably guarantee you that pretty much
17:09.828 --> 17:12.699
[SPEAKER_01]: All right, so my number one is power of love.
17:12.900 --> 17:13.623
[SPEAKER_01]: Every is great.
17:13.864 --> 17:14.045
[SPEAKER_00]: Easy.
17:14.145 --> 17:15.290
[SPEAKER_01]: We're the beginning of that song.
17:15.310 --> 17:16.514
[SPEAKER_01]: It just transports me back.
17:16.896 --> 17:20.952
[SPEAKER_01]: And like I said earlier, back to the future is one of my favorite movies of all time.
17:21.320 --> 17:46.416
[SPEAKER_01]: I saw that movie in the theater, it was one of the first movies that I've ever saw in the movie theater and again as soon as it's like that I immediately nine years old again I'm back in the movie theater I can see Marty on the skateboard like it's just you know I am sort of stuck into that memory whenever that song comes on all right well there you go there you have it this was
17:47.257 --> 17:55.326
[SPEAKER_00]: I wouldn't say this was a hard top five for me because I do that there are just songs that stick with me after all these years, right?
17:56.026 --> 18:07.379
[SPEAKER_00]: But if we had a top 20, like I could have easily realed off like so many songs, and then I would have added songs from picture this, and that because I don't even have a song from sports in my top five, right?
18:07.839 --> 18:10.362
[SPEAKER_00]: So, all right, man.
18:10.544 --> 18:11.246
[SPEAKER_00]: That is it.
18:11.486 --> 18:12.148
[SPEAKER_00]: We did it here.
18:12.368 --> 18:16.297
[SPEAKER_00]: We, this is a little bit shorter, but that's what these top five are supposed to be.
18:16.919 --> 18:26.200
[SPEAKER_00]: You will have a playlist from Mike, which will be, I'm super jazzed to see what you put on the playlist.
18:26.461 --> 18:30.330
[SPEAKER_00]: And we'll put that post up on 50 for 50.net.
18:30.670 --> 18:34.459
[SPEAKER_00]: So for Mike, I'm WGC, when we see you, peace out.
00:10.342 --> 00:14.167
[SPEAKER_00]: We're back with our top five for Hughie Lewis and the news.
00:14.507 --> 00:32.570
[SPEAKER_00]: And I think, I think my, I'm actually very interested in what Mike has for his top five because my top five is going to be like very familiar to kind of like my 10 and 12-year-old self.
00:32.710 --> 00:39.859
[SPEAKER_00]: Like it really hasn't changed from the songs that I really enjoyed
00:40.362 --> 00:49.482
[SPEAKER_01]: or anti 100% I mean, I think based on our previous conversation, you might already be aware of it.
00:49.802 --> 00:50.644
[SPEAKER_00]: Yes, yes.
00:50.785 --> 00:53.009
[SPEAKER_00]: And it's my favorite Huey Lewis songable time.
00:53.671 --> 00:54.693
[SPEAKER_00]: Wow.
00:54.773 --> 00:56.196
[SPEAKER_01]: Are they actually, you know what I think?
00:56.216 --> 00:58.662
[SPEAKER_01]: We had a discussion about this way back in the day.
00:58.722 --> 01:00.666
[SPEAKER_00]: Way back in the day.
01:00.646 --> 01:03.454
[SPEAKER_00]: So hip, I'll spoil, hip to be squares.
01:03.474 --> 01:13.845
[SPEAKER_00]: My number one favorite you will listen and I knew the lyrics and knew all the lyrics to this song and you know it's kind of one of those things where
01:15.175 --> 01:22.811
[SPEAKER_00]: When I, you know, you've, you've done this before, which is you listen to an album and you're like, okay, that's the hit, that's the hit, that's the hit.
01:23.733 --> 01:32.492
[SPEAKER_00]: And then they come out on radio and you're like, oh, I'm glad that, you know, that they they released it because that's the one I thought was best song, you know, I was like that with.
01:34.548 --> 01:40.939
[SPEAKER_00]: TLC's waterfalls like when I heard that first album and you know, we've talked about that on 50 for 50.
01:41.019 --> 01:47.110
[SPEAKER_00]: I was like that's the that's that's the best song on the album and same with Boys to men.
01:47.270 --> 01:49.033
[SPEAKER_00]: I think it's evolution water runs dry.
01:50.015 --> 01:51.778
[SPEAKER_00]: I was like no, that's one of the second album.
01:52.199 --> 01:53.501
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, evolution, right.
01:53.682 --> 01:54.222
[SPEAKER_00]: Here's one two.
01:54.884 --> 01:55.565
[SPEAKER_00]: Oh, two two.
01:55.745 --> 01:56.066
[SPEAKER_00]: Okay.
01:56.326 --> 01:57.368
[SPEAKER_00]: Evolution's a third album.
01:57.608 --> 01:58.530
[SPEAKER_00]: My bad
01:58.510 --> 02:00.512
[SPEAKER_00]: so I was like, that's the best song in the album.
02:01.553 --> 02:07.019
[SPEAKER_00]: Casey and Jojo, when they came out all my life, I was like, that's got to be the single.
02:07.199 --> 02:09.381
[SPEAKER_00]: What are we doing here with these other songs?
02:09.401 --> 02:22.995
[SPEAKER_01]: I mean, I remember having that same conversation back, this is in my record store days and we play that album over and over and all of the women, particularly loved all my life and this is months before it got released to the single.
02:23.015 --> 02:25.497
[SPEAKER_00]: And so when four comes out,
02:25.477 --> 02:27.579
[SPEAKER_00]: hip to be squares my favorite song in the album.
02:28.220 --> 02:32.243
[SPEAKER_00]: Now, some of that is because the 49ers are singing.
02:33.084 --> 02:41.872
[SPEAKER_00]: So when that song comes out and it actually makes the radio, I'm like so excited.
02:41.952 --> 02:43.694
[SPEAKER_00]: I'm like, oh my gosh, I can't believe it.
02:43.754 --> 02:45.856
[SPEAKER_00]: Like they actually put this out as a single.
02:46.416 --> 02:47.878
[SPEAKER_00]: They were listening to you Garrett.
02:48.078 --> 02:48.298
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah.
02:48.338 --> 02:52.362
[SPEAKER_00]: Well, you know, I was, I was just like, uh,
02:52.342 --> 03:18.855
[SPEAKER_00]: over my head over heels and this is when you know we were talking about it on the Huey Lewis 50 for 50 where I would have my little tiny boom box and I would have my cassette in there and I would have it in the position of record and pause and I would just wait for hip to be square to come on and then I would unpause it and then get the whole song and you know back then it
03:19.021 --> 03:27.658
[SPEAKER_00]: I for that whatever mix tape that was I probably had to be square on there like five times like what do you need the song five times for but it was just like so exciting.
03:27.738 --> 03:29.385
[SPEAKER_00]: Oh my gosh, it's on the radio.
03:29.517 --> 03:39.068
[SPEAKER_00]: Uh, another song that I would always record is going to make you laugh because it's a little bit of a grown-inducing, but that's what friends are for.
03:39.188 --> 03:42.412
[SPEAKER_00]: I just thought it was so special to have all of those people on the same song.
03:42.612 --> 03:44.695
[SPEAKER_00]: And so like, man, like, I had the tiger.
03:44.755 --> 03:51.863
[SPEAKER_00]: That's what friends are for and hip to be square just like littered throughout all of my old mixed tapes when I'm a little kid.
03:52.197 --> 03:53.960
[SPEAKER_01]: That is a monthly crew of songs.
03:54.080 --> 03:59.888
[SPEAKER_01]: I, you know, that's what friends are for is one of those songs that just got played out over a period of time.
03:59.908 --> 04:01.551
[SPEAKER_01]: And it got real corny, real fast.
04:01.591 --> 04:06.918
[SPEAKER_01]: But I was at a show last year, seeing Gladys and Patty perform.
04:07.760 --> 04:09.362
[SPEAKER_01]: And Axe Patty's not on the record.
04:09.382 --> 04:14.610
[SPEAKER_01]: When I talk about seeing Gladys perform with Patty and Shaka Khan is Stephanie Mills.
04:15.231 --> 04:17.614
[SPEAKER_01]: And as I'm on the merch line,
04:18.438 --> 04:22.164
[SPEAKER_01]: That's what friends are for is playing and I'm like tearing up.
04:22.265 --> 04:23.186
[SPEAKER_01]: I don't know what the hell.
04:23.206 --> 04:26.712
[SPEAKER_01]: I'm just like, oh, this is weird because I don't like this song.
04:27.093 --> 04:29.978
[SPEAKER_01]: But in the moment, it just like it hit me in the right place.
04:30.779 --> 04:32.642
[SPEAKER_01]: So no shade to that's what friends are for.
04:33.864 --> 04:34.626
[SPEAKER_00]: All right, let's go.
04:34.666 --> 04:36.228
[SPEAKER_00]: So do you want to go first?
04:36.249 --> 04:37.010
[SPEAKER_00]: You want me to go first?
04:37.531 --> 04:38.072
[SPEAKER_00]: You go first.
04:38.092 --> 04:39.174
[SPEAKER_00]: I think I went first last time.
04:39.855 --> 04:40.075
[SPEAKER_00]: All right.
04:40.536 --> 04:44.142
[SPEAKER_00]: So number five and you would actually
04:44.358 --> 04:45.620
[SPEAKER_00]: hate this song as well.
04:46.521 --> 04:50.006
[SPEAKER_00]: But it is the other song in which the 49ers sing background.
04:50.166 --> 04:52.329
[SPEAKER_00]: It is called Walking with the Kid.
04:52.389 --> 04:54.913
[SPEAKER_00]: And you know, when I was really young.
04:54.973 --> 05:00.801
[SPEAKER_00]: So this again, this 1986, 1988 actually, because it's on the small world album.
05:01.802 --> 05:06.889
[SPEAKER_00]: For some reason, even when I was a little kid and that's probably because my parents were young.
05:06.869 --> 05:33.113
[SPEAKER_00]: I'd always like had this idea of like, okay, when I'm at this age, then I'm going to get married and then I'm going to have my own family and so walking with the kid is about like a son and his dad and like, you know, they're just kind of hanging out and, you know, there's a line that is so corny, but it's it's the line is the bad guys all respect us because we're family.
05:33.430 --> 05:44.930
[SPEAKER_00]: And like I was envisioned like, you know, this is kind of going to be what I want to do when I get older and, you know, my kids at 24 in 25.
05:45.251 --> 05:54.848
[SPEAKER_00]: So yeah, I just that that was like, I don't know, it's a little bit of like a premonition for me that song and 40 that are seeing the background.
05:56.228 --> 06:00.035
[SPEAKER_01]: I guess I got a dig back into small world.
06:00.195 --> 06:01.698
[SPEAKER_00]: You will not like this song.
06:01.738 --> 06:05.405
[SPEAKER_00]: The song is so simplistic and corny, but it hits me.
06:05.465 --> 06:11.115
[SPEAKER_00]: It hit me when I was 12 or yeah, when I was 12 and it still loves to love it today.
06:11.213 --> 06:11.634
[SPEAKER_01]: Okay.
06:12.675 --> 06:16.539
[SPEAKER_01]: My number five is actually the only song on this list that was not a single.
06:17.420 --> 06:18.822
[SPEAKER_01]: It is by remember correctly.
06:18.842 --> 06:19.823
[SPEAKER_01]: It's on picture this.
06:20.524 --> 06:24.049
[SPEAKER_01]: It's called, tell me a little lie and I don't know.
06:24.109 --> 06:26.592
[SPEAKER_01]: I like that song because it sounds like the police and I love the police.
06:28.654 --> 06:30.276
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, but great song.
06:31.377 --> 06:35.122
[SPEAKER_01]: If you're not familiar, go on to your streaming service of choice and check it out.
06:36.203 --> 06:39.027
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, in recollection, I went back to listen to picture this.
06:39.067 --> 06:40.208
[SPEAKER_00]: I was like,
06:40.357 --> 06:43.140
[SPEAKER_00]: he's he's ready like this.
06:43.160 --> 06:43.380
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah.
06:43.521 --> 06:43.681
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah.
06:43.701 --> 06:54.573
[SPEAKER_00]: It like they they they needed that album to kind of get a hit single so that people could pay attention to them and then it's like we need this and then we're going to give them sports and things are going to blow up.
06:54.593 --> 06:54.873
[SPEAKER_00]: Oh yeah.
06:55.694 --> 06:55.895
[SPEAKER_00]: All right.
06:55.915 --> 07:06.887
[SPEAKER_00]: Number four for me is a song called Naturally and it is a little bit of a
07:07.070 --> 07:12.302
[SPEAKER_00]: kind of like a little bit of like a do up song on four.
07:12.342 --> 07:14.227
[SPEAKER_00]: It's near the end of the record.
07:14.267 --> 07:19.459
[SPEAKER_00]: It's the second to last song on four and it's not.
07:19.574 --> 07:28.665
[SPEAKER_00]: one of his famous songs in any way, but it's got that like barbershop quartet, which is, I loved it when those guys would do that kind of stuff.
07:30.127 --> 07:38.276
[SPEAKER_00]: It's like less than three minutes, probably I'm the only one who really knows this song outside of the Huey Lewis die hearts, but I always love that song.
07:38.296 --> 07:41.300
[SPEAKER_00]: Cause it's very catchy, singable.
07:41.881 --> 07:47.067
[SPEAKER_00]: They make these weird noises and it's fun.
07:47.688 --> 08:06.220
[SPEAKER_01]: uh... you brought up the national anthem earlier and i think one thing that's important to mention when we're talking about he was in the news is that when they went out and did the national anthem they would do it in harmony uh... uh... um... uh... i i must have been uh... the eighty-eight world series or the eighty-nine world series
08:06.200 --> 08:10.265
[SPEAKER_01]: Which was the one with the bread where the Golden Gate Bridge or whatever?
08:10.605 --> 08:15.491
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, the world series of my nightmares and the giants got swept by these.
08:15.511 --> 08:18.294
[SPEAKER_01]: I would assume that you elusive news did.
08:18.454 --> 08:21.217
[SPEAKER_00]: I'm sure they did game three.
08:21.338 --> 08:27.645
[SPEAKER_00]: I'm sure they were supposed to do game three, but that's the game that gets the, that has the interference of the earthquake.
08:27.705 --> 08:30.789
[SPEAKER_00]: So, I wonder if they then came back when they restarted it?
08:32.571 --> 08:33.091
[SPEAKER_01]: That was 89.
08:33.111 --> 08:34.553
[SPEAKER_00]: 89, yeah.
08:36.811 --> 08:40.435
[SPEAKER_01]: Man, man, okay, well, I'm looking that up.
08:40.455 --> 08:46.682
[SPEAKER_00]: Well, I mean, but the version of the Star Spangled Banner that you're talking about, that's how they would do it.
08:46.702 --> 09:03.561
[SPEAKER_00]: It's just in harmony and like every time, it's, you know, you can go back to probably back to like 1984 when the 49ers were on top, all the way through the 80s because the 49ers and even into the 90s, I remember,
09:03.541 --> 09:09.807
[SPEAKER_00]: You know, because the Niners have been in the playoffs a lot in the in the the 2010s and the early 2020s as well.
09:10.348 --> 09:15.573
[SPEAKER_00]: And I'm almost sure that he will listen to news has come back to do the the star spangled banner for the games too.
09:16.614 --> 09:30.308
[SPEAKER_01]: Man, so it doesn't look like he was in the news did the anthem that you may have been supposed to Stevie Wonder was supposed to play during game three.
09:30.727 --> 10:00.413
[SPEAKER_01]: and uh... the whispers rock and steady uh... the national anthem for game two oh that would have been an oakland right uh... game four knelt Carter sings the national anthem wow uh... and it was a sweep so there you go yeah unfortunately for me yeah very sad time in my life you know so it was about to be the best year of my life by the way you know why
10:01.321 --> 10:16.332
[SPEAKER_00]: And then that same year the giant from the world series and I'm like, I'm going to get two of these things incredible and we're right in the middle of run TMC with the warrior's right and then it all just didn't work out is all went to crap.
10:18.236 --> 10:21.102
[SPEAKER_00]: All right, so what is your number four.
10:21.503 --> 10:24.190
[SPEAKER_01]: My number four is actually from picture this as well.
10:24.871 --> 10:28.160
[SPEAKER_01]: It is the second single from that album, which is hope you love me like you say you do.
10:28.601 --> 10:32.932
[SPEAKER_00]: Yep, that was on my that was on my the cusp of my list for sure.
10:33.313 --> 10:33.413
[SPEAKER_00]: Okay.
10:33.814 --> 10:37.082
[SPEAKER_01]: It's just like a super mellow.
10:37.062 --> 10:40.325
[SPEAKER_01]: kind of like easy going summary kind of song.
10:40.785 --> 10:47.272
[SPEAKER_01]: And he has a line about where he quotes the Beatles and says something about the love you make being equal to the love you take or something like that.
10:47.292 --> 10:48.893
[SPEAKER_01]: That was a really well written line.
10:50.955 --> 10:53.778
[SPEAKER_01]: But yeah, that's just a great song.
10:54.919 --> 10:57.261
[SPEAKER_01]: It wasn't a big hit when it was first released.
10:57.401 --> 10:58.862
[SPEAKER_01]: I don't think it peaked in the top 40.
11:00.224 --> 11:03.947
[SPEAKER_01]: But I remember hearing it on like easy listening radio.
11:03.927 --> 11:07.052
[SPEAKER_01]: quite a bit during the late 80s into the 90s.
11:07.353 --> 11:15.747
[SPEAKER_00]: So, so my number three is a song called old and tones.
11:16.648 --> 11:17.910
[SPEAKER_01]: Okay, I've heard of this song.
11:18.331 --> 11:23.099
[SPEAKER_00]: Now, so I was like, I just really did a quick search to see what the influences were.
11:23.119 --> 11:25.142
[SPEAKER_00]: And, um,
11:26.202 --> 11:31.951
[SPEAKER_00]: The influences to this song were Cajun and Zidico.
11:32.451 --> 11:33.914
[SPEAKER_00]: Is it my song that word correctly?
11:33.934 --> 11:34.635
[SPEAKER_01]: You're pronouncing that right?
11:34.835 --> 11:35.055
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah.
11:35.396 --> 11:35.676
[SPEAKER_00]: Okay.
11:36.457 --> 11:45.631
[SPEAKER_00]: So the song is a direct homage to the accordion-led funk music of French Creole speaking people of South Louisiana.
11:46.693 --> 11:52.041
[SPEAKER_00]: And who he was influenced by the King of Zidico, Clifton Scheneer.
11:53.422 --> 11:54.303
[SPEAKER_00]: which is interesting.
11:54.324 --> 12:00.915
[SPEAKER_00]: I never looked into the origin of this song because it's so different than anything that they've ever done.
12:01.796 --> 12:02.277
[SPEAKER_00]: Right.
12:03.219 --> 12:06.544
[SPEAKER_00]: And the shuffle feel of the track.
12:06.584 --> 12:09.169
[SPEAKER_00]: Now again, this is, you know, we're digging into Google here.
12:09.229 --> 12:11.252
[SPEAKER_00]: So some of this is possibly here, say.
12:11.312 --> 12:12.094
[SPEAKER_00]: But yes.
12:12.494 --> 12:19.446
[SPEAKER_00]: The shuffle feel of the track draws from artists like Professor Longhair and Fats Domino.
12:20.472 --> 12:27.231
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, but I really, I really, really love the song and Bruce Horns be placed the accordion on this one, as well.
12:27.271 --> 12:31.965
[SPEAKER_00]: So two Bruce Horns be references on Huey, let me use it.
12:31.985 --> 12:33.469
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, I mean, bye.
12:33.618 --> 12:43.194
[SPEAKER_01]: I think that Bruce Hornsby came into, as about to say, came into the league, came into the music business, like Hughie Lewis kind of gave him the assist.
12:44.016 --> 12:47.722
[SPEAKER_01]: He was, he was the Diana Ross to Bruce Hornsby's Jackson Five.
12:48.343 --> 12:53.652
[SPEAKER_00]: If you listen to this song, it just stands out as like,
12:53.632 --> 12:59.277
[SPEAKER_00]: like what like why is this song on this album like it's like so different than anything else that you've ever heard him.
12:59.457 --> 13:01.078
[SPEAKER_00]: So that's also like it.
13:01.098 --> 13:05.863
[SPEAKER_01]: Hey, give a shout out to Bruce Horne's be a who has worked significant with Spike Lee over the years.
13:05.883 --> 13:06.963
[SPEAKER_01]: So give him props for that.
13:08.084 --> 13:12.588
[SPEAKER_01]: Be for making that's just the way it is which is one of the greatest songs like ever.
13:13.429 --> 13:22.677
[SPEAKER_01]: And I saw him live in concert twice in 2019.
13:23.095 --> 13:23.736
[SPEAKER_00]: It's right.
13:23.756 --> 13:27.703
[SPEAKER_00]: Yes, interpolation or sample or whatever of change for change, right?
13:27.723 --> 13:28.444
[SPEAKER_01]: That is correct.
13:29.025 --> 13:30.607
[SPEAKER_01]: So shout out to Bruce Hornsby.
13:30.828 --> 13:31.048
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah.
13:31.789 --> 13:32.050
[SPEAKER_00]: All right.
13:32.070 --> 13:32.871
[SPEAKER_00]: What's three for you.
13:33.933 --> 13:34.894
[SPEAKER_01]: Three is stuck with you.
13:38.039 --> 13:40.243
[SPEAKER_01]: You know, I get why people kind of
13:41.101 --> 13:48.575
[SPEAKER_01]: mess around with for a little bit because I do think it got a little silly like certain changes that song is definitely cheesy.
13:48.595 --> 13:54.807
[SPEAKER_01]: Super cheesy stuck with you just kind of like sticks to landing there where it's it's 100% corny.
13:55.495 --> 14:00.321
[SPEAKER_01]: But Huey Lewis is got enough like charm and charisma to kind of like pull it off anyway.
14:01.423 --> 14:04.106
[SPEAKER_00]: He's tongue-in-cheeking a lot of these songs.
14:04.527 --> 14:06.830
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, and he's kind of making fun of himself.
14:07.130 --> 14:13.098
[SPEAKER_00]: It doesn't come across like the people who don't get it definitely have a problem with it.
14:13.799 --> 14:15.681
[SPEAKER_00]: But if you get Huey,
14:16.606 --> 14:18.689
[SPEAKER_00]: He's goofing the whole time.
14:18.749 --> 14:23.957
[SPEAKER_00]: He's like saying, look at how silly this thing is and look at what, you know, what we fret over in our life.
14:24.037 --> 14:26.160
[SPEAKER_00]: Like this is like, just let's have fun with this.
14:26.260 --> 14:29.004
[SPEAKER_01]: And that's a lot of self-deprecating.
14:29.825 --> 14:31.107
[SPEAKER_00]: And, you know, we'll talk about this.
14:31.568 --> 14:32.148
[SPEAKER_00]: Well, we won't.
14:32.209 --> 14:32.890
[SPEAKER_00]: Well, I'll just say it here.
14:32.930 --> 14:40.621
[SPEAKER_00]: But in hip-to-be square, he changed the lyrics from third person to first person.
14:42.083 --> 14:45.668
[SPEAKER_00]: And there was a little bit of irony there.
14:45.833 --> 15:10.322
[SPEAKER_00]: where people were given him shit for like oh you're saying that you're this and he's like I'm writing he's song is this not really about me like I could have had the lyrics and third person and then but this is like so he does stuff like that yeah all right I think you're up number two number two power of love it is uh there there is a
15:12.327 --> 15:19.396
[SPEAKER_00]: I haven't, I don't listen to power of love as much as the others because it is not on his albums.
15:19.416 --> 15:22.560
[SPEAKER_00]: Like if I just go through the discography and I listen all the albums, it's not there.
15:23.181 --> 15:27.186
[SPEAKER_00]: Like you said, you can go to the greatest hits and you can go to some other places to find it.
15:27.807 --> 15:31.873
[SPEAKER_00]: But it's not something that just comes up when I listen to Huey music.
15:31.893 --> 15:36.799
[SPEAKER_00]: So then when I do get to listen to it, it feels almost special to me.
15:36.779 --> 15:46.755
[SPEAKER_00]: because of how, you know, I just haven't listened to it over like something like, um, naturally, I've probably heard a, you know, twice as many times as I've heard power of love.
15:47.215 --> 15:51.682
[SPEAKER_00]: So I, okay, for whatever reason, like it just it stays in that like special state for me.
15:52.924 --> 15:54.887
[SPEAKER_01]: Good, and it's, it's songs should do that.
15:55.728 --> 15:57.351
[SPEAKER_01]: Um, my number two is heart and soul.
15:58.633 --> 16:00.576
[SPEAKER_01]: Uh, that is.
16:02.277 --> 16:02.718
[SPEAKER_01]: I don't know.
16:03.038 --> 16:04.702
[SPEAKER_01]: I just, I really love that song.
16:04.762 --> 16:05.884
[SPEAKER_01]: I never get tired of it.
16:06.625 --> 16:07.848
[SPEAKER_01]: It's danceable.
16:08.008 --> 16:10.713
[SPEAKER_01]: It's fun listening along with I've done it at karaoke before.
16:10.773 --> 16:17.366
[SPEAKER_01]: It's just, you know, it's one of those kind of just, it hits the spot.
16:18.628 --> 16:20.592
[SPEAKER_00]: And no one for me already mentioned, hip to be square.
16:20.632 --> 16:23.998
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, hip, hip, hip and everywhere.
16:25.126 --> 16:30.736
[SPEAKER_00]: they changed the title of the song at some point for some reason that I don't know.
16:31.157 --> 16:35.304
[SPEAKER_00]: Like it went from hip to be square to two hip to be square.
16:35.885 --> 16:42.778
[SPEAKER_00]: Like they added the two on it, like in some places, like it's kind of weird about the naming convention of that song.
16:43.379 --> 16:44.100
[SPEAKER_01]: That's silly.
16:45.363 --> 16:46.084
[SPEAKER_00]: Why would they do why?
16:46.244 --> 16:49.530
[SPEAKER_00]: I was kind of wondering if it was like the same reason for
16:50.337 --> 17:09.848
[SPEAKER_00]: this place hotel and heartbreak hotel and we had the jackson's discussion why they should but i don't know if i didn't i didn't know that there was another song called hip to be square so i wouldn't know why they why they would have to mess with the naming there's definitely not another song called hip to be sure nothing okay i can probably guarantee you that pretty much
17:09.828 --> 17:12.699
[SPEAKER_01]: All right, so my number one is power of love.
17:12.900 --> 17:13.623
[SPEAKER_01]: Every is great.
17:13.864 --> 17:14.045
[SPEAKER_00]: Easy.
17:14.145 --> 17:15.290
[SPEAKER_01]: We're the beginning of that song.
17:15.310 --> 17:16.514
[SPEAKER_01]: It just transports me back.
17:16.896 --> 17:20.952
[SPEAKER_01]: And like I said earlier, back to the future is one of my favorite movies of all time.
17:21.320 --> 17:46.416
[SPEAKER_01]: I saw that movie in the theater, it was one of the first movies that I've ever saw in the movie theater and again as soon as it's like that I immediately nine years old again I'm back in the movie theater I can see Marty on the skateboard like it's just you know I am sort of stuck into that memory whenever that song comes on all right well there you go there you have it this was
17:47.257 --> 17:55.326
[SPEAKER_00]: I wouldn't say this was a hard top five for me because I do that there are just songs that stick with me after all these years, right?
17:56.026 --> 18:07.379
[SPEAKER_00]: But if we had a top 20, like I could have easily realed off like so many songs, and then I would have added songs from picture this, and that because I don't even have a song from sports in my top five, right?
18:07.839 --> 18:10.362
[SPEAKER_00]: So, all right, man.
18:10.544 --> 18:11.246
[SPEAKER_00]: That is it.
18:11.486 --> 18:12.148
[SPEAKER_00]: We did it here.
18:12.368 --> 18:16.297
[SPEAKER_00]: We, this is a little bit shorter, but that's what these top five are supposed to be.
18:16.919 --> 18:26.200
[SPEAKER_00]: You will have a playlist from Mike, which will be, I'm super jazzed to see what you put on the playlist.
18:26.461 --> 18:30.330
[SPEAKER_00]: And we'll put that post up on 50 for 50.net.
18:30.670 --> 18:34.459
[SPEAKER_00]: So for Mike, I'm WGC, when we see you, peace out.
