George Harrison: "Got My Mind Set On You"

We have so much goodwill for George Harrison that we had to do our best in this episode to do it, to do it, to do it, to do it, to do it right!

Kool & The Gang: "Cherish" (Seagulls and Mermaids stay in the moment)

Kool & The Gang's "Cherish" is a song that takes you back to a simpler time but also brings you forward to what heaven will sound like. We hope you can luxuriate in the moment while you listen to our episode!

Haddaway: "What Is Love" (We finally enter the world of dance music)

Our good friend Nathan Holmes joins us again to discuss the type of music that we have avoided so far in over 130 episodes: the dance song. We navigate the rules of the genre, discuss our younger selves' reluctance to like dance music, and try to find out if we can answer Haddaway's question.

Frank's Terrible Mixtape

Sade: ”Smooth Operator” (not the telephone kind)

This episode is being initially published in the dead of winter, but we are turning up the heat! Sade's smooth voice surpasses even the shifty operator of the song, and we are here to revel in the glory of Sade (the singer and the band). We discuss the history of Sade (the singer and the band), analyze "Smooth Operator," defend dodgy geography, and cover as many categories as possible to keep you satisfied!

Everytime You Go Away (Frank is in pieces)

This song resounds so loudly for Frank that we're not sure what was left of him by the end of this episode. We're glad you've joined us for this examination of Paul Young's classic cover of a Hall & Oates deep cut (and as it turns out, a pretty "deep cut" in Frank's heart). At Bill and Frank’s Guilt-Free Pleasures, we take the shame away, but not the pain

Sugar Ray: ”Fly” (with KAHLIN Holmes)

We welcome Kahlin Holmes to The Winchester to discuss a song that she has recommended for our podcast: "Fly" by Sugar Ray. We have a lot of fun in this episode as we attempt to come to terms with our own relationship to the band (and Mark McGrath in particular) and the fact that we actually like this song.  As Frank says, it does embody "that California sound that was sweeping the nation."

Boney M: ”Mary’s Boy Child / Oh My Lord” (Christmas episode!)

Both bonkers and reverent, Boney M's "Mary's Boy Child / Oh My Lord" holds a special place in our hearts. We discuss the history of Boney M, the making of the song, and its enduring appeal. We also talk about Evie!!! Thank you for joining us, and Merry Christmas!

ABC: ”When Smokey Sings” (We don’t hear violence)

Like ABC, we just couldn't stop talking about the voice of Smokey Robinson during this episode. When we finally do get around to talking about ABC's classic 1987 hit, we are able to finally decipher the lyrics to the song, and it turns out that Martin Fry is not fearing violence when he hears Smokey sing. Frank also brings perhaps our best plot to a Hallmark movie based on "When Smokey Sings." Thanks for listening!
