Bill and Frank’s Guilt-Free Pleasures

Berlin: ”Take My Breath Away” (Love Theme from Top Gun) - [Synth Forward, Tongue Forward]

Our friend and Top Gun superfan Kate Angle join us as we discuss Berlin's "Take My Breath Away." Of course, we can't talk about this song without talking about the movie, and we can't talk about the movie and not talk about that PG-13 love scene, volleyball in jeans, and the tragic tale of wingman Goose. As we eagerly anticipate the release of Top Gun: Maverick, we hope this episode takes your breath away!

The Heights: ”How Do You Talk To An Angel” (ProTip: Use Cue Cards)

Although the tv series never had a chance to reach the heights, its theme song did! In between analysing the song, we learn about how you can actually communicate with an angel (if YouTube is to be believed), Frank's strategy for talking to girls on the phone, and the unfortunate history of Ray Pruit on Beverly Hills 90210.

Leo Sayer: ”You Make Me Feel Like Dancing” (A Roller Rink Song)

In our first episode since Bill has recovered from COVID-19, we are discussing Leo Sayer's 1976 classic. We discuss Big Brother (boo!), the history of the song (with apologies to Ray Parker Jr), and our favourite parts of the song (and there are so many). Bill goes deep in his mixtape recommendations and Frank brings a new category to the podcast: when would you play this on a date?

Van Halen: ”Why Can’t This Be Love” (We love Van Hagar)

Our good friend Rick joins us to discuss a song he suggested: Van Halen's "Why Can't This Be Love." Chuck Klosterman ranked this as the worst Van Halen song of all time; however, we respectfully disagree. This song introduced the world to the Van Hagar era and what a glorious era it was!

Out Of Office Message (Frank won’t make Bill become a Marty Jannetty)

Well, sometimes life just won't let you publish a proper podcast episode. The demands of work, family, and recovery from COVID-19 have conspired to keep us from releasing new content. We will be back, but in the meantime, enjoy Frank's freestyle message!

Atlantic Starr: ”Always” (This Out-hallmarks Hallmark)

If there was a template for a wedding song, this would pretty much fill it. Sure, it's pie-eyed and syrupy, but what do you expect? We welcome back Chris Newkirk to give us his feedback (33:52) and he does not disappoint!

Chris Isaak: ”Wicked Game” (Nobody loves no one)

This episode may have been originally recorded in winter, but we brought the heat! Chris Isaak's "Wicked Game" may be the sexiest song ever - at least the video is. Our friend (and pastor) Mike V joins us today to take a close look at a song that haunts us.
Thanks for listening!
