D-D-SET.
D-D-D-D.
You know you make me want to
I shake my heels up.
I won't forget to say,
Hey, yeah, yeah, yeah,
because I'm with my boy, Castle.
What's the da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-dye.
What up, Steve?
Justin, we made it.
We're back, baby.
I'm feeling good.
How you feeling, man?
Nice.
We did a little nice holiday break.
Took a couple of weeks off to recharge the batteries,
do some holiday celebrating,
which was mostly in a condensed environment
with pretty much nobody around.
Very consolidated celebration of the New Year's.
Yeah, I did very little.
I actually went the New Year's weekend and realized, like,
I think I didn't really even see anybody this whole weekend pretty much.
And normally that would be very depressing,
but knowing that that's kind of like what we're supposed to be doing.
And like, I think most people also had a similar experience.
I'm like, well, I guess I can feel good about that.
All right, yeah.
Most rest have ever got a New Year's weekend, though.
So it was getting a little weird for me because, you know,
when you're isolating your house like that,
you start going over different things.
you start realizing different things about yourself.
You know, you start realizing that shit was a little weird than my last shit.
What did I eat?
And you start calculating like, oh, last time I ate vegetables and ice cream the night before.
I'm going to cut you off because you've immediately chasing me away from any conversation I want to have.
And that makes you realize you're also chasing away any listeners I want to hear.
If I was listening to this podcast, I already would have like kicked it.
Anyway, just found out more about myself.
It's all I was trying to do.
It is 2021.
And it is the dissected DJ.
The Dysc D.Js.
I'm back with a whole other year of activity for y'all.
We're rounding around the third base.
We're about ready to slide into home for season one.
Can you believe it?
We're in episode 48, I believe.
Middle life crisis zone.
We're having a middle of it.
We're doing well.
We're loving it.
We're over 400K listeners.
That means we love you all for, you know, tuning in every week, checking in what's new
with the Dysak Dijs.
And I'm glad that we're back with y'all with another brand new edition.
because like I said, we took out a little holiday break there, which brings me to this,
it was brought to my attention that in our last live episode in our review of Mariah's,
all I want for Christmas is you, we kind of forgot to give her any slaps or snaps.
Just kind of faded out and wished everybody to Merry Christmas and then called it a nightcap.
But you know what?
We didn't need to slap that out.
I think it's fine.
It's fine.
We don't need to post, review that.
Like, it's fine.
Like, you know, we know what that is.
You don't got to like break it down as a song.
It's a holiday piece that just lasts forever.
You didn't need to call us out on that either.
I didn't appreciate you guys calling us out on that.
You know what?
I do because I like feedback.
Yeah, well.
Which brings me to this.
Where's all the feedback?
We need more of it.
Hey, we got an Instagram account at Dissect DJs.
And feel free to drop us a line.
You know, comment on one of our many posts.
Send us a little DM, whatever.
Give us a request, something that you want us to dissect.
and maybe a little review of what we do, you know?
We always love to hear feedback and...
You know what?
And we always give out the number and I'm not giving it out anymore because the calls that we do get are not acceptable and appropriate.
So no longer giving out the number, which was 555-4.
You didn't got cut off, biotch?
Yeah, y'all got cut off.
I'm not even going to finish the number.
Cut off.
No more number for y'all.
Hit us up on Instagram.
Dot sec DJs.
It's simple.
You all got Instagram.
Everybody got Instagram.
If now we're on Facebook,
Twitter,
but really,
figure it out.
Really?
Talk to us.
Let us know what you want to hear.
Let's know what you appreciate.
And what you don't like,
y'all can tell us that too,
but it's going to hurt me.
I mean, it's the year 2000.
20.
Whatever.
Actually, I think it's 2021,
but are we calling it 2021 yet?
2021.
Yeah, that works.
It's the age of digital feedback.
And you know what else it's the age of?
Shoutin.
I think we got to shout.
I got to shout this one out.
It's 2021.
A lot of chaos happening in the world.
It wasn't the most graceful year we've ever seen,
and we're trying to gracefully tiptoe our way into the next year,
and I'm saying, fuck all that graceful shit.
Let's shout it out.
Let's bring it into one of those songs that starts off.
It starts off just like we all know it,
and the moment you hear that piano.
Actually, hey, don't sleep on that.
Let's start with that.
I'm not done.
I'm here and join.
and with him going,
where, the classic, where?
Those combined.
An intro.
You know, like, oh, shit, we're about to shout right now.
Let me stretch real quick.
Are we about to shout?
Are we about to shout?
You move the shoulders and you're like,
here we go.
Uh-oh.
And then he says it.
You know you make me want to
shake.
Kick my heels up and
shout!
Throw my hands up and
shut.
Throw my head back.
and he's shouting in a lot of different ways every different he actually just shouted it in every
different and if you just watched a man do that say he was listening to the headphones and just
doing what odis day told him to do right there you would think this man is having a panic
attack he is suffering through yeah heels up followed by hands up followed by head back yeah this man
is shouting in every which way intensely yeah yeah you would be like i should i call 9-1-1 right now what
is happening but i don't want to
want to skip over that first little piano riff because like it's such an easy sounding a little piano thing
but think about like all the notes that he just runs through right there we're gonna gonna gonna gonna gonna can you
play that again real quick listen to all the piano notes that he just hit he just ran through like
if you watch somebody play that you would have been like oh what were you about to party that alone
is actually a very slept on intro we talk about some of that we actually had one of the episodes a
a few weeks back where we talked about the best first notes of song history.
That is an underrated one because what an amazing use of the piano to get your attention right away.
And then, of course, Otis Day comes in with that great.
And like, there's few songs that I think come in so gentle, but yet, like, grab everybody's attention.
Like, oh, shit, here we go.
Which I got to be honest, it's a little crazy because you would think that,
piano riff has been done before like
but it hasn't because otherwise I would have it associated with anything else
no I just think this song took over that riff so much so because that's that
definitely riffed done before that all the way down the line I mean this once you do it
not like that that's like that's like the beginning's a piano to do something like that
but because otherwise people usually I haven't been somebody that played piano before
I used to love I mean when I was a kid you know I always never got good but what I'd like
to do anytime I was sitting at the piano was I'd go the
I would do that.
That was easy.
What he's doing is a...
He's using his fingers across the brink.
You're doing the great balls of fire.
We do the great balls of fire.
That's easy.
I was able to do that as a seven-year-old.
What he's doing is he's hitting every key
super quick across the way.
Like, that's talent.
And it's impressive and it gets your time.
Start the fire well.
It's a good igniter of the song.
It's an igniter.
He has all those different thrusting of a shouting.
And then he gets into this line,
which ever since I was young,
and I know I say that I've realized
after listening to us a lot,
I say,
I was young because it's true.
I've listened to these songs and never really paid attention,
but I always was like, what that?
Wait a minute.
And he says, don't forget to say you will.
What the fuck is he saying right there?
Don't forget to say you will, what?
Say you will shout.
Don't forget to say I will.
Like, when did I ever infer that I was?
Is he asking for you to say you say I will?
I don't know.
He just says, don't forget to say you will.
Don't forget to say, yeah, yeah.
Like, I don't know what he's asking me not to forget.
I wasn't going to forget.
You're saying it to.
There's no chance I was going to forget.
The entire song is a promise that you will shout.
And I guarantee with the way you've started this, I will.
But you don't have to tell me, don't forget.
Now you're just disrespecting my loyalty to your amazing craft
that's already been hitting really hard at this point.
Are you accusing Oda's Day of assuming that he has to forget, like,
he doesn't have loyalty towards you?
I just don't think he's looking out for me in understanding that I'm into his song as much as he thinks I am.
Don't forget to say you will.
Reminding you to say, reminding you to say,
he will is not necessarily
disrespecting you. He just
really wants to make sure
that you will. That's him
anticipating that I'm not going to pay attention
initially because if not he wouldn't have to say that.
It's like if we're going on a road trip
and I said, hey,
did everybody remember to go to the bathroom?
I'm not disrespecting you by saying, hey, you're too stupid
to remember to do that. I'm just saying
by the time we hit the-
By the time we hit the 605, I don't
want to hear, hey, by the way, can you pull over
to the side? And I'm like, why the fuck didn't you go to the
I'm sorry. I disagree with you. You are saying that I'm an idiot and that I don't know how to
realize whether or not I know when to pee. I don't think he's saying that. You know what I think he's saying?
Say you will. God, I love the energy this song brings to the table. There's very few songs that
actually have a tempo of this beat that actually, like this song, as a DJ, I'm sure you would doubt,
like you've got to be ready for a huge fluctuation in tempo, right? And then it has this point
that we're about to get to where it's going to slow the hell down.
And that is a rare thing for songs to be able to pull off to where they can switch up the tempo but still make it work.
But Shout absolutely makes it work because it's that much of a domination of the dance floor kind of song.
That it literally commands the respect that everybody that's listening is like, oh, got to follow the song.
Everybody's got to go with it.
It's not a song that ever just kind of plays in the background.
When it's playing, everybody is aware of it.
Yeah.
I mean, you saw me right now.
We were listening to this, dude.
I was non-stop.
I'm sweating.
It just makes you bob up and down.
It just made us like both like,
you can't, even if you're just sitting there listening to it,
your head's going to nod up and down with it.
Like it just takes you for the ride.
And just like, you're like, did you hear that guy right now?
You hear this guy?
I got to keep dancing.
Like, I can't not stop.
Like, anyway, yeah.
Just the energy here is just.
Justin, what's the first thing this song reminds you of?
well the movie
Animal House
which then in and of itself
is about a fraternity
which then brings us
to our fraternity life castle
and this was a big song for us
That's the first thing
It reminds me of that
Yeah
Because there was many of times
When we lived in the fraternity house
Especially in Justin's room
He had his room set up on the deck
Where you literally had a
Power strip
Where it was like
Basically the red button
It was like a press for party
press here to start the party
and he would turn it on
and he had a smoke machine
connected to it
and he had a little red siren right
he had a strobe light
everything would turn on
and he pressed that thing
so like as soon as there was
like a gathering of people
that were like wanted to have a good time
he hits that thing on
boom we're in party mode
and there was always a moment
in so many of my favorite college memories
where like there's a gathering of people
a good amount of people dancing
we're all having a good time
and me and Justin will look at each other
and we'd just be like
shout time
shout time
here we go
He hit it up, and it's one of those songs that just gets everybody in the room invested, and we're all...
And this fog machine, let's go back to this fog machine, because I remember he said it first, and it was reminded that I had this fogg machine on absolute full blast in a, just a one-bedroom room.
A little tiny room, full blast.
So by the time this thing, we were doing this shout, although there was 30 people in the room, it seemed like you were parting with three right next to you, because you couldn't see a fucking thing around you.
It was great.
It's a beautiful aspect of it because it's one of those things that would prevent the potential
judgery of like the entire room looking at you if that's what you were afraid of.
And you're like, no, no, no, we're just in a little close course even though we actually
got the whole party gone and everything.
Like, when I remember back to living in a fraternity house days, like, that is absolutely
a room that needed to exist in that frame.
So.
Yeah.
I'm glad that was, I'm glad that was my room too.
And I'm glad that shout existed for us because it gave us many great times.
And I remember the reason why the movie is first for me is because I remember watching the
previous to join a fraternity and it was actually one of the reasons why I wanted to join
fraternity yes I wanted to be part of that craziness now I knew as a kid I was like okay
movies take things to another level so it's not going to be that crazy but if it's even
close to that I kind of that looks like fun but these guys are getting down they're randomly hanging
out there so I always want to be it but I remember one biggest thing I wanted it wasn't when
they did the judging I remember being a kid but I don't want to be fucking the lame kid that
everybody makes fun of and forced in I don't want to be that guy and I wasn't first of all
I have plenty of issues with many of the fraternity movies that I've seen over time
where I'm like, yeah, I know a lot of this is familiar, but like,
so much of it is over the line and like nowhere near, like, it makes me wonder, like,
did these movie producers ever actually go to a fraternity party?
Are they just going up?
Animal House is pretty good.
They got just shit at the house and you're like, like, the shit with the horse.
And like, I know we didn't have a horse.
But had there been horses around us, I guarantee we got a loft of livestock or some shit,
if there was like, you know, that was part of our college fucking.
area.
You know, I guarantee it.
Like,
just,
that movie,
and there's the parts of,
like,
you know,
it's a little too deep.
There's a little too deep.
Like,
that's the horse
and they,
and they were like,
they pick up the shit.
Anyway,
now there is parts of animals.
They get a little,
you know,
obviously,
sexual too much.
It's been,
maybe we should break down
one down.
It's actually,
it could be a three things
episode and waiting.
It gets a little deep
and a little bit on the,
you know,
sexual two,
crossing the line in the movie.
But beyond that,
it was the 80s.
Beyond that,
The party scenes of that
and then I'm going to see Otis
at the club
Shamma,
bang now.
Can we get a quick clip
of that part real quick?
Yeah, that fucking song killed it.
I remember just listening
to this movie
and being like this movie
I want to be part of this.
So that's why it made me do it.
And then the fact that we brought it to
our fraternity house
and brought it to the room every time
and brought it to every party that we did
like yeah,
no,
it was like,
I'm so glad I was able to bring that
which I saw as a kid
and saw Jim pollution.
doing the shout with his little hands and they're getting lower and lower.
The fact that I did that, like, over and over and over.
In our fraternity, and then there we go,
you're going to hear the rest of this, but the whole song would be done.
We're going to talk about one.
And we would go with it, but, like, that's actually where I think,
like, your DJ mindset might have helped the whole situation of the setup
that we're just talking about.
Because there's always that, like, if you have, like, some people that are coming over
and, like, we're having drinks or whatever.
Like, there's always a little bit of, like, a...
We're kind of, like, sort of just starting to get loose.
It's a little, maybe cold, little awkward first at the beginning.
Like you don't play shout then
You would always save shout
You can't have it just on the playlist playing in the background
No no no it can't be on a shuffle
It has to be specifically brought in
For when everybody's having a good time
The mood is right
Now we're ready to jump
Now we're ready to shout
I still remember
When it used to be nice
I gotta break down some lyrics on here
Because this is one of those parts
I never actually have broke down
But he breaks it down here
And you're like okay I don't
I don't care what you're going to say right now because you've already got me started.
You got me ready and you could literally say whatever you want and I'm going to dance for a bit here.
So I never really pay attention to this part.
I still remember.
I know he says that and then beyond that I have no idea of what he says.
Well, that is where the dissect DJ is coming.
I still remember.
And it's time to break down what they actually go over right there because everybody always glossed over that.
They were waiting for him to just get to the shout part and they're just bouncing up and down right now.
But like, yeah, what's he talking?
What does he remember?
Oh, to tell me what you remember?
When you used to be nine years old
What? That's not the words
This must be talking about his daughter then
No way
Like this is a song about his daughter
I mean unless it's like about a childhood long time friend
And they were both nine
That could be it
That's the only other option I could see
Otherwise I didn't like let's get the fuck out of the song right now
But he continues on and says
I was a fool for you
That's got to be the girl that he was into when he was a kid
From the bottom of my soul
And now that you've grown up
and old enough to know
Yeah, yeah
You wanna leave me
You wanna let me go
Alright
You know I honestly
Didn't know that like
I never need this song
Had like a deafness to it
So this is about basically
A man that met his
Like the love of his life
When he was nine years old
It's like a Corian Depangus
Not sure how old he was
But he could have been
I'm guessing 10 or 11
They were both young
Or
I mean it could get real weird fast
But in any case, we're going to go ahead and hope that it's...
No, let's stick with the Korean-Tangas scenario.
Childhood lovers.
And then they grew up, and she wants to leave now.
They've grown up, she's grown apart.
Wow.
I would not think that he would be this exciting about shouting.
No, he's not excited.
He's actually shouting because he's fucking yelling at the world that his...
Is this an aggressively angry song, actually?
You take me want to fucking shout.
You're leaving me.
Disguised as a fun, like, party song this whole time?
Yes.
I won't do to know.
I think this song might not even be the happy shout.
This is a pissed off shout because the girl he's loved since he was a fucking young, nine-year-old.
Yeah.
Let's try to switch some of these lyrics moving forward,
flipping the fun shout into the angry shout and see how it changes how we hear it.
So far the story is correct.
So far, you remember, a girl that now, it was nine years old.
Yeah, so what's the next lyrics?
I want to hear it.
Bottom of it.
Okay.
I want you to know.
And we're about to hear this.
I said I want you to know right now
So what he's actually saying is like
Hey
I want you to know
No no no I want you to know right now
You've been good to me baby
You've been good to me
Alright
Better than I've been to myself
Hey
You know what probably better than I've been to myself
Just lay it out
And if you ever leave me
And you know what
If you ever leave me
I don't want
nobody else
no no
I don't even want anybody else
there it is
alright
I don't even want
anybody else
I said I want you to know
listen
I want you to know
I said I want you to know
right now
I said
I want you to know
you make me want
You know it's weird
Is this song is hard to stop
As it gets going
But it stops
itself at the same time. But even though it stops itself at the same time, you're ready to
let it like carry the mood that it carries and you're just going to go along with it. Like it's
literally the only song I can think of that picks up the mood and it's tempo and it changes so
drastically, but you're so with it and it doesn't throw you off. You're just like, all right,
where are we going now? Well, I'll be honest. I've DJed enough weddings with this song to know
that you actually cannot let this next part right out. That's true. It's a
entirety. That's true. Yeah, yeah. It's kind of long and trying to. I like it. We're going to enjoy it because this guy's going, yeah, yeah, yeah. No, no, that is where it takes a
DJ to actually, whether it's an actual DJ or just the room DJ to read the situation, like, how in on this song is the room right now? Are we really, is everybody hanging on every word? Or is it kind of like, we were jumping up and down to shout, but we're kind of like talking a little bit. Then if it's like, no, we're not really like super invested in the song. It's more of the.
energy, then you get out right here.
Man, I got to be honest.
Nobody knows this whole song, and it's about 30 seconds here where he goes slow.
The tempo changes to a very dull minimum.
It crawls to a halt.
And it's very, you know, inspiring.
And if you know the song, you're waiting for it.
You're like, just give a second.
Take a breath here because we're about to get crazy.
And you know that.
But anybody that doesn't know and it's kind of like already awkward because they're on
the dance floor, don't feel comfortable on the floor, they need about five seconds
or 10 seconds of no air for them to be like, oh, it's time for your drink.
Or, oh, you know, I'm ready to leave.
You should know what's happening right there, but...
So, I usually cut this part pretty quickly.
It goes, now wait a minute.
There should be a version that actually just cuts through this whole part,
because this is great for, like, the movie,
like we're just talking about,
sometimes a great scene,
but there needs to be a version that just kind of jumps right back into shop.
Yeah, but in any case,
now wait a minute, I feel all right.
I was like, I met again,
I'm sad that our listeners can't watch Justin's
Facials.
I'm a B singer. I'm not going to try to get myself
A singer qualities.
But we know that we all know
anybody that see you do karaoke is that you make up for any
lack of between the A and B category
by your theatrics.
And that's where I'm sad that everybody can't see
your theatrics as you're singing that.
Season two is going to come up.
Ladies and gentlemen, we're going to bring the video mics.
We're going to figure this out and we're going to make ourselves
We're going to get some of the visuals going to
We should have our faces
Because some of these other podcasts
I don't know these boys
My goodness
You guys should not be saying
I don't know what podcast you've been watching
I don't know
But I'm just saying
Other people
Don't call out any names
I'm not by other dudes
No it just gives another reason
Another way that we can connect with y'all
You know
You know
But yeah
And then
Now that I got one moment
I feel hey
Then he feels all right
You know
All right
All right
Yeah
Yeah
You've been so good
good to me you've been so good to me now i don't know where he's going with this right because he
the girl was leaving him yeah let's get back to the story but now he's now he said wait a minute
i feel all right now that i got my woman he must have got her back now do you think he like won her
heart back or something like you know it i could actually see that because uh this okay we're
talking a cori depending a situation which i'm going to keep going back to you because that's the
only thing i can think of that's like a from nine years old thing which by the way real quick as we're
going to do boy mids world i met ben savage i actually djaded it for
That's right.
Yeah, yeah.
And Ben Savage, bro.
Fuck Ben Savage, bro.
Don't fucking throw Ben Savage.
Fuck, boy, in which world of guys.
Don't throw Cory Matthews under.
He didn't want to shake my hand because he was apparently sick.
And then within two minutes, within two minutes, was shaking the main photographer's hand.
Like, oh, thank you, sir.
Thank you for everything you're doing for me.
And I, oh, blah, blah, Ben Savage, fuck you, bro.
He was trying to not get you sick.
Don't.
Don't, Ben Savage.
Don't talk shit on Cory Matthews.
Now, wait a minute.
Now that I've got my woman.
I've been so good to me
you've been so good to me
you've been so good to me
this is basically going through the up and down relationship
of a childhood lifelong love
so he the first first sounds like
he was like oh you moved on
but still makes me want to shout
and I went over that we went over that in great detail
with my angry shouting
and now he's got her back
so it's a different kind of shout
I think maybe this is like the full definition of shout of like how angry you can shout but also how positive you could shout and how so many things in life especially when talking about love just makes you want to shout.
You know you make me want to shout lift my head up and shout through my head back in shout come on now.
Shout come on now.
By this point, Otis and the Knights have you locked in.
Okay, you've taken your rest
If you were to this point in the song, they got you.
They got you.
You've had your intermission.
They gave you an ice still 30 second.
Take a breather.
They already told you, giving you the energy of the song.
They've given you what we're going to be doing.
They got you locked in.
And then they have this part, which this is again one of those times that I always wanted to join my fellow brothers in Pye Cap.
Because I wanted to go down.
A little bit soft and nap.
A little bit soft a nap.
A little bit louder now.
And then everybody's getting lower.
A little bit louder now.
Everybody starts to stand up.
And then the infamous part that's right around the corner.
That's when it really brings it home right now.
This sing along.
All of the energy.
Talk about tempo pickup.
They start picking up the end.
Yeah.
I love that they willingly just go out of control.
They're just like, oh, everybody's got to control right now.
Shut, shot, shot, shot.
I'm full of energy that's right.
Oh man.
You want to go on the roof and just jump around a roof with it?
No, I just want to shout.
No, that feels like a lot of energy.
I'll probably just shout instead.
Oh, what a great song, man.
You don't wear that at your family parties.
You're fucking up.
So many good memories I have from that song.
I remember us having a great shout off in Mexico on Swat.
That was another great time.
I also remember it from Laker Games.
Another great memory I have from it.
There was a year, as you know,
where I got to go to many Laker games.
That was a great time.
And I got very used to the entire setup of the Laker games.
I knew at the end of the first time out, they played this song.
Oh, they're going to do the KISS cam at the end of the first time out in the second quarter.
I literally had everything marked down.
It was after the end of the first time out in the fourth quarter
when they were like really trying to get energy going.
And they would always show the clip from Otis Day in the nights,
Animal House as they were in between splicing footage of like fans and stuff.
Get the energy up.
Yeah.
so I also have great memories of going to liquor games with this song.
And I feel like anything that you have memories of that includes the song shout is always positive.
Like this song's not really any negative energy.
Yeah, you get one in there.
Toss it in my weddings that I've DJed over 800 of in my 15 years, man.
This is, I would say this song stands out to me in most weddings as the most energy, most fun.
Everybody's enjoying.
The bride and groomer in the middle.
Everyone else is surrounding them.
Families yelling.
Kids are yelling.
grandma's yelling everybody's hands are going up during shout
it's the best video and photos you're going to get like it just
I don't want to say it saved me but it's definitely
played at the right time made me seem like
I'm the best DJ in the world even though I just played
Otis and his boys doing their thing
definitely a great wedding song
basically what this song was to the first time out
in the fourth quarter of the Laker Games
what it is to many weddings where it's like that fourth
quarter and you're like let's really pick up the energy
and just charge through the end of the game right now.
And that's like what the song's good for.
And it will be forever.
And it's timeless.
And you know what?
I say we use that energy and charge through 2021.
I agree.
Let's go ahead.
Let's real quick.
We didn't even talk about it because we just sang through it.
Just sing along, bro.
Like what song has a song that's like, hey,
and then you know, everybody just kind of knows.
We got to say what he just said.
He didn't tell us.
They didn't tell us to.
But for some reason, I feel like I got to repeat exactly what he just said.
I love that.
Because if he did, it would have just been a little bit lame.
Everybody say,
what I'm going to say hey I guess he could have been snuck it in there you could have but like
whenever I watch there have been so many times when I've watched like a live performance of
somebody like performing the concert where they're like all right everybody sing with me now and
they like start doing this and they're like everybody say and not to all our listening is clapping his head
over his hands over his yeah we've all seen in the concert shaking his head he's trying to get the
crowd everybody that's been to a big concert and watched somebody do it's a go-to move you gave a great
visual. The point is, Otis didn't need to do that. He was just like, y'all are going to follow me
because I'm going to jump in and y'all are going to want to follow my dad. It's because he was locked in.
They were locked in already. Yeah. Once they did the intermission. No boldness of making a song
knowing that you can leave that little space right there and they just know that everybody's going to sing
along. You can't even, I don't even know if I've ever seen anybody duplicate it. I don't know if it
exists. I don't know what it exists. Real quick, I don't think they actually leave a gap. I think
there's a group of people singing. You're right. It's kind of,
like when you hear Sweet Caroline and everybody just thinks that one spot is like for
ba-b-b-b-ba or so good so good and if you listen to that song without a crowd it's actually a very
tame song like it doesn't have any of that and you just like that's been put into your head
and there's very few songs that actually would make me sing in a group setting where I'm suddenly
belting out notes like it actually might be the only one I can think of that because I'm not a big like
groups and there's a few songs that like you know you know as a DJ like there's a few
songs like what's that garthbrook song and like everybody likes to sing there's like a few of those
like sing along songs i got friends yeah i'm not gonna sing along to that one but this one yeah
i'll start belittling that shit don't stop believe it hold on to that feeling that one might get me
depends where i'm out in the night this one it would be hard for me to not sing with and
partially because I feel like it would never play unless it's the right setting.
This is one of those songs that just only comes along when it's the right time for it.
The beginning of Tina Marie?
I mean, that's a main you thing.
We still got to do that.
How have we not done that all season?
All right, no one's coming.
I'm going to officially mark Tina Marie as though it's coming in.
Tina, we're coming for you, girl.
We're coming.
But in the meantime, we are here.
I think we know what we're giving this song.
There's no way we not bonto.
Are we on the same page here?
All right, let's slap it out.
Both the different shouts, because this song calls for it.
A couple of things I found out about this song going into the five-star.
It's actually about a man that loved the girl since they were both young-ins.
She tried to leave him.
He got her back through shouting.
Yes, shouting worked.
Maybe it was the angry shouting in which case.
This could actually be a very dark story.
Yeah, because he probably yelled at it.
I'm sure there's been cases where a man actually was able to get back his.
his estranged significant other.
I know, but that's what we do.
I'm sure it's been done where, like, yeah,
there was some aggressive shouting,
and then somehow that was like, okay, yeah, I guess.
And then they say it together and, like,
I like to think that that's not the case that Otis is getting into,
but, like, all I can do is read the lyrics and follow along the story.
And I hate that we've done that a little bit in this one
because it's taking it down just a notch, but...
Still a five clapper.
Still a fun sound.
Still a five sloppers.
It's still a classic.
You're going to have it at your next good party.
And so will we.
And you know what?
that's going to probably be the peak of that party.
That's the thing this song brings to the table is it's usually the peak of the party.
The only problem with it is after it ends, oftentimes I remember like,
we're kind of like, okay, so now what.
And like we don't really, like it's all downhill from here.
Actually, it's a DJ.
There's many different ways you can go at that.
Because the shouts around that 160 BPM mark and all the other things that are around there are,
hey yeah.
So right after you go and these shouts, you can go one, two, three,
and keep the energy real high if you want to do that.
If you want to do that.
If you want it, yeah.
slapping.
Or right after shout, it's a good time to go into it.
It's a good time to transition and get out of it.
Always a good song that sounds just like that, right?
It has that kind of similar beat because it has an old voice to it, but it's a newer song.
You go into the end of shout and go do, do, do, do, do, do, shake everybody.
Now you got that old Otis with a hip-pop beat coming.
You just transition the speed of the music.
Everybody's like, oh, I'm done with the old music anyway.
Let's party.
But it's oldest singing the beginning part, so it's a good transition because you got the
old voice of the new music.
DJ 101 with DJ.
Hey, yeah, I would be.
Either way.
You just have to read the crowd at that point.
And then there's many different ways,
but those are just two examples.
So for all y'all Js have stuck with us
this whole episode.
There you go.
You're welcome.
Most DJs probably hate on it.
I was like, these fools ain't DJs.
Fuck these, homie.
That's just how Justin likes to take about all the DJs.
DJ.
DJ.
Just throw on shout.
You always be good.
You always be good when the energy's up
and you throw on shout.
We shout out now that we shout up through that I think there's only one more thing to show
Next!
