D-D-D-D-D-D-D-D-T-D-T-D-D-T-D.
Oh, yeah, it's the Dicec DJs with a song that everybody knows.
But before we get into the song that everybody knows they didn't know they knew before they knew it,
we've got to introduce ourselves.
We've got the Dysk DJ.
DJ in the building with my boy, Steve!
What up, Steve?
Because we are the DJs is like a spit-it.
Mixed, broke back, and dissected.
And that is Tom's Diner.
That mystic sound.
You've heard that before.
I guarantee it.
I was like falling into like a slight trance.
As I always do.
You know what I mean?
Like it feels like something that you kind of fall asleep to.
Have like a little spiritual moment with.
Actually, what year is this?
1990 is what this ran?
1990.
I thought it was so much older than that.
No, no.
It says it all my thing.
I'm not sure that's right.
But I'm pretty sure.
All right.
Well, let's use mine.
Mine says
1987.
Wait, wait, wait, wait.
67?
I'm using my glasses.
I'm sorry.
Bring it out.
Castle's eyes are done from editing.
Yeah, I know.
But, like, it's because it's a very small fun.
1987.
April, 1987.
So what, I don't know what your source is, but.
Bullshit source.
And it's by an artist called Susan Vega.
So there you go.
And we've all heard it.
This is one of those songs.
You didn't know the name of it, though.
I can guarantee.
because I never knew it.
It was like, what?
I wouldn't say that.
A lot of people know this name.
It's a famous song.
I didn't know it for many years, but I heard it like eight years ago,
and now I always know it as Tom's Diner.
Why is it Tom's Diner?
What is Tom's Diner?
Is it a figma of your imagination?
Is it an actual physical location?
I would like to go to Tom's Diner.
I bet they have fantastic French toast.
Maybe some pancakes.
French toast is better.
They probably don't have good steaks, though.
No, they got the cheap steaks.
They got the own.
like the surloins that are
like the stuff that got at norms
hey by the way what's the best part of about norms
open 24 hours
it never fucking closed never closes
Justin used to live like around the corner
from a norms right there and every single
time we drove by it I'd say
you know the best part of norms
places never fucking close
never fucking close go there and never was
I used to hit that place up randomly for the
we did yeah it was a great thing to have around the corner
a couple things about this song number one
the lyrics of this song are very
interesting we're going to go over those pretty quickly here that's what we do on top of that number
two is the amount of times this song has been redone oh this song is legendary in the atmosphere of music
like so many people love the beat the general vibe it's so relaxing and smooth and easy to work
off of a lot of artists have been like i think we can rework that let's workshop that so um yeah
we're going to cover some of those and yeah try to figure out what the hell this song is about do you want to
use one of those chips right now to play one of those versions that we had.
Yeah, let's get into one of them.
And then we'll talk about the lyrics as we go through.
Yeah, let's start with one of those.
This one's a crazy one.
This one from Fallout Boys.
You may know it's called Centuries.
So I don't know if you guys heard it.
It was at the beginning.
It was at the beginning.
He started getting in there his song.
Of course they heard it.
Let's go back again.
No, I don't want to hear it again.
Stop it.
Stop it.
There it was.
There it was.
You guys heard it.
Such a soothing.
to start a song.
That's why they did it, obviously.
It literally feels like it lives in your brain, in your psyche.
It just relaxes you.
All right, so let's see.
Did we get to the part where they actually started, like, sang the lyrics?
No, no.
You want the actual, let's go back to that.
Let's hear what they got to say a little bit so we know what's up.
Because here's the thing, none of us know why the song is named Tom's Diner.
Again, we could always research it.
That's not what we do here at the dice.
We don't research, people.
If we research, we would.
It was the fun.
Here's the thing.
We like to figure it out on the fly and learn as we go alongside you.
We're strapped in next to y'all.
So we're going to figure out why this song is called Tom's Diner.
And then you'll hear us figure it out.
And maybe we don't.
But either way, let's eat some pancakes.
Groovy, relaxing song.
However, I feel like she's just talking about.
Hanging out of a diner.
Her basic experience.
Hanging out of a diner.
But that's fine.
Honestly,
It's like the most simplest, it's really confusing.
Honestly, that's fine.
It's like if you're singing about Tom's Diner and you're making it a relaxing thing,
like it almost feels like sometimes when you think about what a diner is,
it's like it exists as a place sometimes where people have a wind down,
beauty of diner,
like we talk about dorms.
Or a startup,
like your breakfast kind of thing.
Start of your day,
end of the day,
it's beauty of thing is like that both people could be crossing paths at like six in the morning.
You know what I mean?
True.
And the activity in a diner generally pretty,
pretty casual, pretty common.
You can almost put your own experience
in that existence. So it's like
whatever you're going through, people might
be coming off like a gnarly trip
and be sitting there in their booth like I need some coffee.
Coffee with milk.
So write the lyrics real quick.
The next booth over, they might be existing
in like the start of their day and being like,
I got a crazy job interview today and like,
sure, I got to like it. And it's like what is happening
around them. That is what
is existing at Tom's diner. And as the
lyrics saying, I just read through it.
I am sitting in the morning.
She's sitting in the morning.
The diner on the corner.
Diner at the corner.
I am waiting at the counter for the man to pour the coffee.
Very generic stuff right now.
So far.
I just, but I see it.
I got it, yeah.
And he fills it only halfway.
And before I even argue,
she's getting ready to fight about that.
I would be too.
I'd fill my coffee halfway.
Let's go.
Fill it up.
I need at least three of these.
How many cups of coffee did I pay for, one?
Why am I getting charged half?
No, you get unlimited once you get coffee.
That's a great thing.
I know, but at least one, not half.
Fuck that.
And then what you say that?
So what happens there?
He's looking out the window at somebody coming in.
All right.
Somebody coming in.
Yeah.
And then what's the next part?
Go right.
She goes into all the didda-da-da-da-da.
Which is also, by the way, when you look at the lyrics on screen, it's funny how many da-da-da-da-da.
It's about like 48 of those.
They might have even cheated us a few.
None of us are keeping track.
What if somebody actually counted all of them?
We're like, oh, you guys left out eight does?
You guys missed the does.
Yeah, yeah.
They might not have.
They might be perfect there.
And then the next, go through the next line.
What does she got?
It is always nice to see you, says the man behind the counter.
To the woman who has come in, she is shaking her umbrella.
And I look the other way as they are kissing their hellos.
Kissing him.
So that's like they're exchanging kisses as a hello.
and I'm pretending not to see them
and instead I pour the milk
That's a very generic
Setting that I don't even think this would play in like a
Nonfiction novels where they like have enough
Yeah they're like where's the action
Is there anything is there anything?
She made it selling something like setting was happening like hey you only fill up half my coffee
And he was looking out of the window and then there's like oh somebody's coming in
And then here's my question here's what irritates me about this whole thing is this lady comes in
He said hey it's always good to see you
she shakes her umbrella.
Is she shaking that fucking thing inside?
Like is there a bunch of water going on?
Did she shake this?
Do that outside of the door?
You do that outside.
So it sounds like she's doing that shit inside.
At least one step outside.
She sounds like she's doing it aside.
If she's doing this side, she's a fucking asshole.
But I guess she does it often because the bartender already said, or not even bartender,
I guess it's the cafe clerk, whatever they call?
I don't know.
What's the name of them?
What's the name of a person that works at Tom's diner?
A waiter?
A waiter.
I guess, yeah, that would be it.
came in and he, yeah.
All right, what's the last?
There's one more and one more line, right?
Did we get to that point yet?
No, we'll play it in a second.
Just read it and we'll play it so it sounds good.
Oh, man, just based on the first line, I'm already like, I feel like...
I would like to know what finishes the story.
This is the most mundane...
I kind of want to know if it goes anywhere.
There's a reason I never actually follow the story.
I open up the paper, so I'm immediately like,
oh, what...
Nothing really exciting ever usually happens after that sign.
Really? Yep.
There's a story of an actor who had died while he was drinking.
Okay.
It was no one I had heard of, and I'm turning to the horoscope.
She's done with that story already.
She's got over it.
Oh, somebody died.
This is just a person that's, like, bored to read the paper.
Oh, like a actor died.
I don't know how that is.
What's my horoscope today?
And I'm, and looking for the funnies, literally just, like, sifting through the paper.
I'm like, skip right past the dead guy.
When you go to the funnies, you're literally out of, like, interesting stories.
Yeah.
And I'm feeling someone watching me.
Oh.
And so I raised my head.
Did, did, did.
I can't wait to hear the rest of the story.
You think it's going anywhere?
I hope so.
I hope so.
Come on, give it to us.
Oh, I think it's going to go somewhere.
It better or not, it better.
Go.
Let's see it.
It might be.
Do we go on it further?
No, let it go.
Go with me, Castle.
That's the whole story.
They ended with a cathedral sound and some bells going on and stuff.
Like, what?
Hey, I have an idea for a new name for this song.
A redundant.
Redundant diner.
Woman goes through boring-ass day.
And nothing happens.
So she sings about it.
Fortunately.
That story goes nowhere.
The singing is very melodic.
It goes nowhere.
We can enjoy the beat.
So what was the last two lines?
Man, she wouldn't know.
I don't even want to read, dude.
I know she went to, heard a cathedral sound.
It was all like.
And then the sounds came in for a second, and then she was like, and.
It was literally the most boring Monday day, like, just drawn out.
And, like, and you know what?
Because this beat is fucking dope, and it kind of makes you feel like something exciting is happening.
You kept, like, getting left on a hook.
And every time of it.
You know what it was like, it was like watching a TV show from, like, the 60s where, like,
they end the commercial break with like a knock on the door and everybody's like who could that be
and then the now and the sounds make it like sound like and like some famous act some famous actor
walks in everybody cheers not even the door opens and it's like hey i'm your neighbor phil just
let you know your newspaper got put in my yard instead oh thank you phil have a good day
they close the door and they're just like hey should we go
of the cathedral?
You guys want to pray a little bit?
We could hear the ring bells.
Like, nothing happens in this entire thing.
Nothing happens.
He said, some guy says hi to the girl.
She does her umbrella.
Then she goes over here.
Then she takes them from the cathedral.
There's no substance to this entire thing.
She made this whole, like, dramatic point that, like, this woman was looking in.
And then she took, like, three.
Okay, look, I'll tell you.
I'll tell you what you said.
Yeah, read the whole last two lines.
That would we get a good understanding of just.
how nothing the song goes.
There's a woman on the outside looking inside.
Does she see me?
No, she does not really see me.
Because she sees her own reflection.
It's how windows work sometimes.
And I'm trying not to notice that she's hitching up her skirt.
And while she's straightening her stockings, her hair has gotten wet.
Because it's raining outside.
All right, last one.
Last one.
Oh, this rain, it will continue through the morning.
I'm listening to the bells of the cathedral.
I am thinking of your voice
and of the midnight picnic once upon a time
before the rain again and I finish up my coffee.
It's time to catch the train.
This bitch is literally like went to a coffee shop.
Didn't even see anything exciting happening.
Like, focused way too much on...
Read a bad story.
The person that delivered her coffee
and the random lady that walked in.
Did he ever refill her coffee?
I don't think so.
That wasn't addressed, I don't think, later.
She didn't even have the stones to be like, hey, refills.
There's nothing to talk about this.
There's nothing to talk about it.
Other than the redundancy of how nothing this song does.
It's crazy, because I feel like nobody's actually paid attention to the lyrics of this.
And the fact that it's so redundant and nothing is like amazing.
It's almost astounding.
But do you know why it works?
This fucking beat is fucking classic, dude.
And the rhythmic tones of her doing that right there?
Are you kidding me?
It's just so soothing.
I'm relaxed.
I'm relaxed.
Listen, I don't even know how we're talking about it right now.
I kind of feel like laying on the floor and just chilling on a fucking...
So peaceful.
And then the beat.
Beat, dude.
It comes in.
That's why it's been reutilized.
So many times.
So let's go ahead and we do that.
We can talk about some of the ones.
Let's go into a Latin vibe one with Mikey Towers and...
Yes, let's get a Latin vibe on this.
Wait, wait, wait, what's his name, though?
The band.
Benny Blanco or something?
I don't know.
Oh, yeah, Benny Blanco.
Benio.
And it's called Di Gondere.
Degesire.
All right, I'll do the...
I sent the name to you in a text, so now I feel like I need...
Degeneri, dude.
Oh, yeah, Dejanere.
Ah, see?
He thought he was going to say it any better than me.
Because I think it's Dehernen...
Deherneede.
It's a weird name.
I will point out that you said it way where it's the first time,
But it is by Mikey Towers
And it's featuring Benny Blanco
That's what it sounds like.
As you could see, right at the beginning.
A fucking cool version of that song.
As you could see.
Love what you all did with it.
I don't know what he's saying,
but it sounds just like the other one, right?
It's like he's like he speak another language or something.
But he put words on it.
So that's cool.
Yeah.
As long as you work with that.
And by the way, we looked up like 20 different,
there's so many different reversions of this.
Some of them are really bad.
Some of them are really bad by artists you know.
Do you want to hear one on them?
Oh, what are we doing?
Let's go, you know, one of the most asinine,
just ridiculous ones.
Do you want to hear one of them?
It's frustrating because.
Spide an artist you won't believe has a track is bad.
It's really bad.
So we all know them.
Gangster, gangster, gangster.
That's why, you know, hit them up.
Hip-hop legend.
Mr. Tupac.
Let's see what Tupac did with this.
Tupac.
Show us something special, please.
Drinking, Hennessy and Cold Brew,
after smoking, stop the no cheese plus some soul food,
so we start at the local barbecue.
It's just another boring Monday,
and there's nothing else to do.
Now, as we stepped out of the car,
I heard someone behind me fighting,
so I turned to look and find out,
what's the cause of this excitement?
And brother was a dope being
And the other was a dope man
And a dope man at an AK
Said he'll spray and he's not joking
Well, it seems to be
That's not getting better
I thought he was gonna
I thought he was at some point go
And do you tell me
Yeah you would tell
Like Tupac Tid Tupch
You come in like
She goes on for 15 minutes
I don't know how long guys
I haven't got that by
My goodness
Tupac that was
That was one of the bad tracks
Of it was sometimes
Five hit pop
and singing
a need to be addressed
as they hit the
they meet that corner
and they like turn around
and they're like
in the intersection
to be like
stop
all right look
I understand
that you're kind of
doing to do this
with a rap vibe
and this song
kind of needs to be
more sung
and you're sort of doing
this cadence
stop
we did a little more
something on it
a little more gangster
dude
like
I need a little more
gangster vibe from you sir
you cannot do that
you know who tends
to do the singing thing
in songs though
and is decent at it and hip hop you got to give it to him and he also do this you got to give it for drake and the
juice track that he came up before that i just had to say i think that's the worst teupac song i've ever
by far like by a lot there's a reason you haven't heard that it's not even close it's that's not
when you showed me that earlier i was like that's not too i was almost disrespected that it was
too pot i was mad i was mad to find it very disappointed but only those kind of things can be
covered here on the top six all right let me hear how drake did it
Go ahead.
Yeah.
Boy wonder.
We almost don't even know
to go to the lyrics.
That's fantastic.
He turned the beat into the
and turned it into a beat
and now it's legit for a hip-hop song.
I don't want to hear what he's going to say
because I feel like he's going to blow it
if I go into any lyrics.
We have to.
We have to push forward.
I like the,
at Kamala House has like a video game,
like an old school video game sound
with what he did to it.
He's going to blow it from your castle.
I don't want to play anymore.
He had to push through.
I can understand.
My flow is sitting right.
Right inside the pocket on my pants
I'm still fly
You can float
Run this shit
You same boat
Dope
It turned dope
It turned up
It hit hard
I honestly we're gonna hear where it goes with this
Maybe yeah but I don't want to
We have many other texts
You still afraid he's gonna ruin
No no it's just it's good
And then now we're gonna start dissecting a different
Let's get out on a high
It was good
I gotta give it credit David
Drake good shit baby
That was nice
And that takes a lot for Justin
Like
No I was like
Oh no this is about it
Yeah
Justin's always ready to
hate on Drake, but like that was...
Then it hit.
It gave me a little shoulder jiggled.
I'm going to listen to that one later.
That was the best one yet, I would say.
Yeah, I agree.
Let's go to another hip hop.
Like, one of my favorite producers
and best that could possibly make this sound good,
my boy Timbalin and Alia.
Let's see what you got.
Did you guys hear it?
There's at the beginning.
No, Timbalin was doing the da-da-da-da-da-da.
You guys...
You know what's awesome about this is
this is such a great exercise
and just like hearing what
from producers we'll do with something and here
we'll take it. Because like that had
such a Timblin sound to it.
Drake's song had such a Drake sound to it.
I don't really know what the fuck,
Teabox was. I kind of wish I could get a duo
from Tupac because I feel like he could have done like
something way better. That was like a bad off day for him.
He probably had something like Jada was
fucking with him that day or something.
I don't know. And then you even heard
what Fallout Bill I did with it. But like here's something
I've always wanted. I've always thought this
would be the coolest competition
for like a music series.
You got one hour, here's a beat.
Here's what, yeah.
I almost understand why it can't be done
because of like copyrights of music,
but like let's take a sick beat.
Somebody makes a dope beat.
Maybe like an up-and-comer, like beat maker, right?
And then they take in some of the best music producers
in the world.
Top 100 producers, you got two hours.
No, no, you don't need,
you just give me like three or four.
And then we're going to be like...
Either way, competition.
They hear it, how it's coming together.
Yes.
You guys take a day with it?
No, not day.
I need it quick.
I need it four hours.
Best producers.
I'm fine with the day.
I disagree.
you on this. Okay. I want it to be a TV show man. Two hours. It doesn't need to be a live show. Two hours. Two hours live show. No, it doesn't even fuck the live show. It's it could be like a fucking cut to tape edited like. No, I don't like it. And then we see what each person did with it. And this is why I'm okay with it taking more than like 30 minutes. It's because then they can go get their their artist on it. What singer do you want it? What rapper do you want in it? Where do you want them? How what do you do with it? Because so many of these songs, when we hear the beat, it becomes associated with like,
Like that's that song that we know is this.
But what if they all didn't know about what that other person was going to do with it?
And you could hear a wide spectrum of how all these different artists hear this beat and what they can do with it.
And it could turn into completely different songs.
That could be a good season.
Good season show.
Is then like which song lives.
Then they all live in perpetuity as like their own enterprise.
And it's like which song is like the real song.
And we could have this dope beat that doesn't exist in a single property.
So that's why it won't happen.
But I always thought that would be an awesome reality show.
Like a producer reality show.
Yeah, just to show like the best for you.
Like USC except producers.
Yeah, exactly.
They all fighting.
Should that be funny if they're fighting?
They steal each other's beats?
Oh, you stole my beat?
Oh, you heard that shit?
It would turn into, there would be some sketchiness going on.
I guarantee somebody would be like, oh, like somebody who would like Snoop Dogg would be like,
oh, yeah, I actually just got a call from other home dude.
He's trying to get me on this track.
And then they'd be like, you're trying to poach Snoop Dog for me?
I wanted Snoop Dog.
I had Snoop Dog's idea on this track.
I'll go with the money.
You're the money yet?
That's where I go.
Yeah, yeah.
It would get interesting.
I'm just saying,
interesting.
I'm saying Netflix,
put me on as a producer.
All right.
Figure it out.
Let's keep these versions.
We got two more versions of this.
We got a,
let's go into this one.
More of an EDM,
David Getta decided to do it.
Let's go EDM with that.
You know how David Getter likes to put together any redo.
He's almost the pit bull of EDM.
Right?
Let's see what,
let's hear what he had to do it.
Change it up then.
Let's see.
And I'll show you love the way.
I thought they did a good job.
Turning it into a happier song.
Yeah, it's like a joyous.
They turned it joyous.
Joyous, tropical.
Before it kind of had a vibe, and this is the thing I'm talking about,
but this is a serious idea.
Pinacolada on the beach.
It had this idea before of sort of being like a rainy day,
which is cool.
Kind of a rainy, mundane day,
but you're like in your own head and you're thinking about stuff.
Maybe you're overthinking stuff.
Maybe you're over-analyzing stuff.
That's what I got from the original version.
A lot of the other people have done the same.
thing with that. David Gettettuk, kind of
took it him as like, let's make it sort of like a
happy uplifting. This is going to be a good
day. Like, we're going to dance today.
Yeah, let's have a... Doodoo. We're going to have
Peter Klaus on the beach and be hanging
out and relaxing and get out of here.
I mean, I just don't like David. You got a music.
You're afraid of anything
he does. You don't like that version?
Yeah, it was all right.
It's just... He sounded like he took
Tom's Diner and then
mixed it with another beat that he found that was a
tropical beat, put him together and was like, see what I did.
I am David Geta, I am very good at doing this.
Like, no, all you did was put two songs together.
Yeah, probably.
And then he goes in DJs and he doesn't know what he's doing.
If he heard the David Ghetto when he put MLK behind a track?
MLK.
Yeah, Martin Luther King, and he had the freedom speech behind a track.
Okay.
Wait, I feel like I did hear this song.
I don't remember what he did.
It's so bad.
But him trying so hard to really make an impression.
Stop it, David.
I do feel like that song was about to have a good pickup.
If we got to there, we were going to take way too long to get there.
Probably is going to be like two and a half minutes in.
But I feel like that song was going to get joyous and like, we could have danced to it.
We could have.
I'm sure.
All right.
Explain this one because you're the one that brought up this genie's diner.
Did you hear about this?
Did you watch it?
All right.
Were you a Nick and Knight fan as well?
It was came after what we used to watch, right?
What was it that we was there was something that came out at nine and then Nick and night came out at
10.
And I remember being like, oh, I was thinking nine.
I'm going to bed.
But I usually watch like a half hour of the next show.
Let me explain Nick and Night too.
Yeah, yeah, explain that to us.
So, like, when I was a kid, first of all, I didn't have cable when I was, like, a young kid.
We would go to visit my family in Ohio, and they had cable.
And because I'd be like, holy shit.
Yeah, and because, like, we'd be there for like a month in Ohio in the summer.
Yeah, you went to a house for a month.
Yeah, we would like, because we had a bunch of family in Ohio, at least sometimes, maybe just a few weeks.
A month is a fucking visit.
At least a few times we did that.
I can see two weeks.
I could see a week.
Maybe it was a couple of weeks.
At least once we saved for a whole month, yeah.
And, yeah, it was a big summer vacation.
We'd go visit all our family at there, but like we'd stay with like my grandma, and like
she would have cable, and I would be so excited to finally get cable channels, mainly like Nickelodeon
when I was like a kid.
Like I always wanted to watch Nickelodeon never got to.
And I was like excited to like watch it like every day when I was like six, seven years old.
I got a little bit older.
I got more excited about like MTV and like VH1 and some of those shows and stuff like that.
But Nickelodeon would turn into Nick at night at like five o'clock sharp.
and it was a hard turn every day.
I remember the hard turn too.
Because it would go from like...
I think so.
I feel like...
I feel like I remember it being like it was after eight myself.
It should have been, but I feel like it was...
Yeah, but it wasn't though.
And that's what I remember being frustrating.
I was like, I'm not...
I'm just not bedtime for me yet.
Like, what the hell?
Like, but immediately it would go from like kids happy-friendly, like...
Nickelodeon splats everywhere.
And here's a random foot with the Nickelodeon logo.
And all these cartoon...
characters and all this and all of a sudden it'd be like here's some shows from the 70s and like
for the longest time it took me a while to actually like get into watching those eventually as I got
older I started being like I do like liver and surely I could watch happy days like I could get into
some of these like shows that are cooking up on nick and night I drew a genie back then was one of
the main shows that they would always put on and this was an ad I remember seeing when I was
like it was honestly like my first memory of this
song was this ad and as I got older and like heard the regular version a lot like literally just
a year ago I randomly was like is that something that I remember correctly in my memory because I remember
seeing an ad for I dream of Jeannie on Nickadnight that was basically this song and I looked it up and as
YouTube has the answers they do and I found it and yeah so now I got to play it as long as we're
talking about Tom's dad with that said also required the research it did start at 8 p.m.
Eastern time and Pacific time.
All right.
Well, I was a kid.
I don't remember everything that happened then.
You just didn't want to go to bed yet.
I didn't want to go to bed, dude.
It was like not even dark yet.
That, da, da, da, da, da, da, da, da, da, da, da, da.
Da, da, da, da, da, da, da, da.
I am sitting, da, da, da, da, da.
I am sitting.
on the sofa there's a TV in the corner I am watching Major Nelson he is played by
Mary Hagman and he found a little bottle and out Pop Barbara Eden but she couldn't show her belly button
all she did was blink 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
oh uh good evening major nelson
Tony Nelson works at NASA with suspicious Dr. Bellows.
And there's also Roger Healy who would become Howard Borden.
Jeannie!
And Jeannie always means well, but they get in wacky trouble.
She folds her arms and blinks her eyes.
It's kind of like bewitched.
Oh, all right.
Not bad.
I bet you thought that was hilarious as it could to.
Jeannie!
Well, yeah, and I remember the cool thing about it.
I was like, I had throughout the video of it,
she was like dancing around and her like genie outfit, like kind of like,
but it was like it was done in sort of a Tom Zatter music video sort of way
that like they, as they were splicing in footage.
Very clever, I thought.
And because I always associated the song with I dream of Jeuma Jeannie
just from that memory of singing one time as a kid.
Isn't it funny?
Like when you're a kid and you see something on TV,
It always like sticks with you.
Sticks with you.
Now you could find it.
If you just remember something you saw when you were eight,
yeah, that's kind of how that was.
Like the one thing I remember,
the pizza hook commercial before Teenage Muti Ninja Turtles.
Do you remember that commercial?
Maybe.
Out in the distance,
the game's riding on.
There strikes on the batter and runners are on.
No?
Can't say I do.
And suddenly every week.
I can look at this video.
I bet you if I saw it.
My mind has been wondering, what could it be?
they point to the sky and I look up above
and a baseball falls into my glove.
No.
The last part kind of sounded a little familiar,
but I'm going to say...
I'm going to say you need to go find that for me now
because now I have to put it in,
but I don't want to do the research.
Now, you don't have to do it right now.
I'm just saying like when we put this...
Yeah, you got to do it.
I'll put it in right here.
Off in the distance, the game's dragging on.
There's strikes on the batter.
Some runners are all.
that suddenly everyone's looking at me
my mind has been wondering what could it be
they point to the sky and I look up above
and our baseball falls into my club
my sister and I sing that song to each other
I could believe that.
I will say that second verse on the I Dream of Jeannie Nick and Night thing
started kind of just being like her naming actors on the show
Like
And Tom Norris plays show Jackson
And James
Like it was like a little
Got a little bit less clever
It started it started cool though
But still I love the vibe of it
Oh the song's mellows fuck
Did we finish it already
Are we already get out of it?
I can't remember
Yeah no we did get out of that
Yeah we're done with that
Because it was
If not we were listening to the whole thing
And then I wanted to show you
The one EDM song
That I am all about
When it comes to this song
This is the version
That you might be hearing
This is I don't know if they are hearing it
But this is the version
I enjoy when I'm playing it
because it hits nicely.
I'm sitting in the morning
at the diner on the corner
I am waiting at the counter
for the man to pour the coffee
and he fills it only halfway
and before I even argue
he is looking at the window
at somebody. I'm waiting
for the coffee
I am waiting
the coffee
the coffee
the coffee
the coffee
Coffee, coffee, coffee.
A song hits.
I actually think that was the best version, to be honest.
Yeah, it hits good, right?
Yeah.
You get a little dance for anything.
Like, hey.
Yeah, I enjoy that.
I mix that mid-party.
Everybody's like, oh, shit.
It pays proper homage to the.
original.
It gives you good energy.
It still tells the story of nothing that the original
and has a solid dance beat behind it.
And it gives you a, yeah,
give a reason to get hyped, yeah,
and start dancing at something.
So, yeah, I think,
to pick a cap through whoever,
who did that one, give them proper.
That was done by, um,
a chap tech.
What?
A remix.
I'm certain you're saying there.
Chap, CH, A-A-A-P-T-E-T-E-C.
What?
Tech with a C-K.
T-E-C-H.
Okay
Chap tech
Chaptek remix
Cool good job guys
Sounds German as fuck
Yeah probably
Well with that man
We have gone through the most
Asinine and
Pointless
The most nothing story
With a beautiful beat
With the beautiful beat that we all love
Great example that you don't actually need to tell a story
To tell a story with music
You know what I mean
Yeah
We felt like we're going on an adventure this whole time
I always felt like we were in the past
And then we never actually reached a destination
We just kind of just kept like, oh, I guess.
Just kind of sat down and had a single half a cup of coffee.
Half a cup of coffee. Put a little milk.
Watch some lady.
I didn't think we got to the milk.
A lady walked in from the rain.
Then I poured the milk.
Oh, yeah.
Lady walked in the rain.
I just kind of looked at her a little bit and like.
She got her hair wet.
She was fixing me a blouse.
I don't.
I'm going to go walk to church.
And that's it.
Give me your slaps and snaps on the fantastic Tom's diner.
All right out of five slaps.
I'm giving Tom's diner.
Go.
nice three slaps on the wait
three slaps on a
all right so that was a
three slaps and waiting for your waitress
three slaps
yeah yeah the waitress walked in
the door and there was a little bell
at the door took a few steps
and I was like excuse me ma'am can I get a
I can't oh okay
thank you
oh yeah so it's three slaps
and a waiting for the coffee
and I got a refill the coffee
there we go yeah nice
so that was that was that
could I say our slaps and snaps have
gotten out of fucking hands stupid no
out of control
like how do you even like measure well imagine
like a year from now
another one gets like that one actually got
two slaps and a waitress
walking in with the doorbell then like
took a few steps past and I wait for her
and then she fills up my coffee they've never had a
reading yes it's kind of be
it's like a who's lines it anyway you know
if we actually were to create a graph of like
all the ratings they're like at all
our stupid shit in there oh that one had four
snaps like 14 slaps and
And that also, then it had four slabs and a woman jumping off the side of a clip and yelling Geronimo and then like throwing a series of darts at a blimp that was passing by because that was how that song hit.
But you know what?
Sometimes you just feel the vibe.
Very visual, by the way.
My brain just thought it's all the darts.
Anyway.
That's what I do.
Just like this song.
My slaps.
My slaps.
My snaps.
Do, do, do, do, do do do do do do.
I lost count.
Whatever we at?
I gave it a
I did,
I lost count of snaps,
but I felt like there was a four-slapper
with a lot of dot.
It's four and four and four.
Okay.
It's good balance.
It's one of those songs,
especially with the last mix I just did.
It made it like a dance song.
I could throw this in anywhere.
It's just like it relaxes me.
It has a great rhythmic beat that it's like,
you guys heard it right?
Let me do it one more time.
Just so you guys know.
what I'm talking about.
This thing.
That beat right there.
I can do anything with that beat.
You can do anything.
I can relax.
I can run.
I could almost just hear it on a loop.
I'll clean my whole house.
I'll clean my whole house.
I'll do the dishes.
And an hour later,
be like,
oh,
start freestalling in the middle of it.
I'll start,
like,
dancing and break dancing in the middle.
Why'd you stop it?
Because it's done.
It just wanted to show you.
And then you got the other one.
You got the other one that's,
uh,
peaceful,
relaxing.
I know the song well.
You know the song well,
but we all never knew
what the song.
was actually talking about and those are my favorites ones those are my favorite songs
they mostly get speckyous the ones that that tell a story that we all and we all heard it
but never actually paid attention to and this one is successful in it so I'm giving it
four and four man and a did what you got for it and it turns I gave mine yeah shit
I waited for the woman to walk by and like that's right yours was the fucking bell
thing that's why I was like wait too much my brain went nuts on yours it feels like such a
vibe it turns out it's just a normal ass Wednesday morning at tom's
diner.
That's it.
And I don't know who
Tom's diner is,
but it's a vibe.
Let's later here
one more time
and then we'll
do.
Next!
