Bill and Frank’s Guilt-Free Pleasures

Danny Wilson: "Mary's Prayer" (Ashley's Prayer)

Do you remember this song? We not only remember it, but at least one of us spent night upon night for a good stretch of his life calling out "Save me!" and thinking about what he lost. We hope you enjoy our trip through "Mary's Prayer" and we hope you gain a new appreciation for Danny Wilson.

Tommy Tutone: "867-5309 / Jenny" (Bathroom Dreams)

You may not remember many phone numbers from your youth, but I guarantee if you have ever heard this song, you have not forgotten Jenny's number. We take a tour through the writing of the song and dispel popular myths surrounding the track. We analyse the lyrics and attempt to answer the unanswerable questions surrounding the song's events. Frank also details how he prepared for his own phone calls to potential love interests despite his entire family sitting at the dinner table beside him. Thank you for joining us!

Looking Glass: "Brandy" (We don't like this sailor man)

Brandy deserves a better life than the one in which she finds herself. We are here to call that sailor man to account for playing loose and fast with her heart, and to propose both a Hallmark musical movie mixtape to right the wrongs we find in this heart-wrenching and beautiful song. Thank you for joining us!

Taco: "Puttin' On The Ritz" (The Scariest Song We've Ever Featured!)

And from out of left field, here’s our episode on Taco’s “Puttin’ On The Ritz.” It is both a fascinating and terrifying cover of Irving Berlin’s famous track, and we are here to guide you through it!

Genesis: "Invisible Touch" (A Reckoning with Phil Collins)

"Invisible Touch" comes at a time when Genesis was at their commercial peak. Not only did this become their only Billboard Hot 100 #1 hit, but it also found itself on the charts with songs by almost all other present and former members of the band. The song certainly has its haters, but you will not hear hatred from us: we love "Invisible Touch," although Bill must find a way to deal with the invisible touch that Phil Collins has had on him for his the past forty years.

Lisa Stansfield: "All Around The World"

If you get a chance to watch Lisa Stansfield sing at Apollo (you can see that here), you can see why her singing can win everyone over, especially on the hit single "All Around The World." In this episode, Frank gives us his best Barry White impression and Bill recounts the story of how Stansfield ended up slapping Prince.

King Harvest: "Dancing in the Moonlight" (Life Wishes, Werewolves, and Toilet Brushes)

King Harvest's biggest hit was written as a response to a violent world - one that had nearly killed songwriter Sherman Kelly on a beach in St. Croix. We dive into the story behind the song, examine what makes this track so special (a toilet brush, for example), and then Bill takes Frank for a trip through the many versions of the song released over the past forty years. Oh - and Frank discusses werewolves (a lot!).

Martika: "Toy Soldiers" (Won't you come out and play with me?)

Like so many of the sitcoms we grew up watching, we have finally made our Very Special Episode.  Dave Kitchen joins us for the 16th time and brings us “Toy Soldiers” by Martika. Step by step and heart to heart, we bring you everything we’ve got as we plum the depths of (goth?) dance pop and drug addiction.

Christopher Cross: "Ride Like The Wind" (Tents and Fleeing Flamingos)

"Ride Like The Wind" is both yachty and naughty: a smooth song about an outlaw who has escaped hanging for the murder of ten men. In our (limited) knowledge of the so-called genre, we believe this is the only yacht rock song that dares to deal with this subject matter. Truth be told, the song is so enjoyable that it is hard to imagine that it is about anything else but a good time - and what a good time it is to listen to Christopher Cross and Michael Macdonald on backing vocals. We discuss the surprising history of the song, give our in-depth analysis of the lyrics, reflect on the incredible (and hidden) guitar solo, and finally give an alternative vision for a proper music video for the tune.

The Presidents of the United States: "Peaches" (Tender Fruit and Politics)

Listen folks: sometimes a peach is just a peach. In today's episode we dive into the history of this anthem to a tender fruit. We didn't realize we would be diving into the world of ninjas, LSD, and two string basses. Thank you for joining us!
