And he got, I think you got all but one. Yeah. And so we were putzing around and I said, Dara, do you have 45s in your house? She said, I do.

So we appreciate that. We love getting stuff that's very nice of you. We love getting stuff that's so show-specific. Dara is chomping at the bit here. I'm very, very, very excited about this. To quiz me. Are you quizzing him, too, or did he help you compile it? Yeah, no, no, no.

I didn't tell him what I was doing. Okay, so she's quizzing us both, Gilbert. Okay. So this is Dara's record collection. Frank has the songs queued up. Dara has a little bit

of trivia about each one. Yep. Shall we start? I have not seen these. I hope I guess them and not make a fool of myself. Well, the first one you might have a hard time with

but let's see. Okay. So the first one, do I tell you a little about it first or do you want to hear it first? Probably not because I might guess. Okay, that's right. Okay. So the first one, do I tell you a little about it first? Or do you want to hear it first? Probably not because I might guess. Okay, that's right.

Okay, go for it. What's the first one, Frank? Oh, I know this one. It's like the 30s. It's like the 30s. It sounds like the 30s. You have to have a little muzzle, because muzzle means good luck. Wow. And if you have a muzzle, you always have a buck.

And if you have a muzzle, and though you're on the ball, well, you're going to try and try. You never get by. You beat your head against the wall. I don't have a guess at this. It sounds like a kind of a Mickey Katz thing, but it's clearly not Mickey Katz. Is it a black singer? Yeah.

A doo-wop group called, you ready? I'm ready. It's the Ravens. The Ravens. And the song is called Mazel. And what's so crazy is that this was a song that my mom used to sing to me when I was a little kid. I love this. And my grandmother would sing it to my mother when she was a little kid.

And I sing it to my daughter. So it's been passed down. It's a Christopher Walken speech. Yes. It's about the pocket watches. And I finally decided. I was like, one day I said, hey, let me just see if I could find it online.

And you found it. And I found it. And I was so surprised that it was sung by a doo-wop group. What's it called? It's called Mazel. It's called Mazel. Mazel. You knew this guilt?

Yes. How come? Because of me. And I think the story was they belonged. They had a manager, most likely a Jew. That's right. Most likely. And they heard this playing somewhere.

It's a Jewish group who recorded it. Because, you know, mazel is luck. I love it. And they heard that and they said, we want to record that. I did not know this existed. Do you have a year? What's that? Oh, yeah. It's from 19... I think it was from 1940s. It was from the late 40s.

I was way off. Early 50s. I forget who sang it originally. It almost sounded like a Cab Calloway thing yeah it almost sounded like yeah okay so then yeah it was a Jewish group

yeah very good what was the group again the Ravens the Ravens very good I'm completely stumped but I feel

you're gonna get a lot of these other ones I feel educated you're gonna get a lot of these other ones okay next one okay here we go

yeah this is a great song this is art garfunkel uh this is uh uh um i love it's called all i know yeah it's a great song good is job. Is this a Jimmy Webb song? Correct. I love this song. Yeah, it's beautiful. It's hard for me not to sing. I love this song so much. So beautiful, right? Too easily to let it show.

I love you and that's all I know. That's from me to Gilbert. Oh, that's sweet. Get a room. Yeah. Beautiful. Oh, that's sweet. Get a room. Yeah. Beautiful. That's from one of the Garfunkel solo albums.

It's from Angel Claire from 1972. It's beautiful. One of my favorite albums of all time. And I love the words. Yeah. I love the words. Did we ask Art Garfunkel to do the show? Not yet, but boy, would I be happy. Well, maybe we'll send him this.

Gil, did you know that one? Well, yeah. That one I knew. He does a great version of Mazel, too. And I once worked with Art Garfunkel. You never told me that. I did a scene in a movie that I don't think was ever released. Are you in Carnal Knowledge?

Did I miss you? Are you in Bad Timing, A Sensual Obsession? Or what's, what's, oh God, there were a bunch of those that he made. He made a bunch. But the producer of the film was arrested, I think, for molesting little boys. Fantastic. Yes. What a beautiful capper he put on the song that means so much to Dara.

That was lovely. That's something you never hear when they talk about Casablanca. Let me wipe a tear. Oh, beautiful song. I love Art Garfunkel. Oh, I love that song. I do, and I do this. And Jimmy Webb. I love the fact that Jimmy Webb wrote that song. I love Art Garfunkel. Oh, I love that song. I do, and I do this. And Jimmy Webb.

I love the fact that Jimmy Webb wrote that song. Yes, yes. Boy, I got that one right on the musical intro. Amazing, amazing, amazing. Now I feel redeemed. The next one I don't think you're going to get. I feel redeemed. The next one I don't think.

You think he'll get this one? Everybody knows this one. Okay, here we go. Is that Mickey Katz? No. It should be. It should be Mickey Katz? No. It should be. It should be Mickey Katz. It's Electric Light Orchestra.

Yeah. This is not my language. This is not my native language. Come on, Frank. Is it Kate Smith? Come on, Frank. Come on, Frank. Is it Kate Smith? Come on, Frank. Come on, Frank. So Frank was putting me on by saying everybody knows this.

Oh, no, everybody knows this. Not in this country. Yeah. Or this era. Wait, here it comes. Here it comes. This is the part I'm going to know? It's where it rocks.

Here it comes. Is this the song I run to at the gym? Is it Perry Como? Here it comes. Here it comes. Here it comes. This is the song I run to at the gym. Is it Perry Como? Here it comes. Here it comes. Here it comes. Everybody uses it. Everybody.

Everybody's treadmill workout. This is where I turn it up to four and five on the treadmill. Where have I seen this song? It was actually in a Woody Allen movie? Possibly. The singer was born in Sicily. Victor Moan?

Yeah. It's from 1947. It's from an album called From Avenue A to the Great White Way. Yiddish and American popular songs from 1914 to 1950. Wow. Yep. That is very impressive.

Aaron Lebedev. Oh, love him. As I say, his father died in my basement, as I once said in the show. Romania, Romania. I know that is used in a movie. Now, of course, our listeners are going to freak out, especially our Jewish listeners. They're cursing at their... You know this piece used in a movie. Now, of course, our listeners are going to freak out. Especially our Jewish listeners. They're cursing at their...

You know this piece? Yes, yes. Did you know that... I mean, I knew the... I don't know what it is. The middle eight. But you recognize this. Yeah, it was the number one hit in Palermo.

Did they play these songs in the Gottfried household when you were growing up? Not so much, but this one I remember. In fact, I remember this one starting to get played on the radio. Really? Yeah, Dick Clark was part of the payola stand-up. I just love that song. It makes me run so fast. Good night to David Simon.

David's waving us. David, we love you. Thanks for coming. I love the outtakes of him yelling at the band. The men wear shirts. The men wear shirts. We should edit this so that Buddy Rich yells at the klezmer player. All right, we have a lot to get through.

That's great. Okay, moving on. Let's go to the next one. I know it's from a movie. Okay, wait. Let me just say. Can I tell you first the next one? Sure, you can give me a little bit if you don't think it'll give it away.

No, no, I'm not going to give it away at all. Let me just say, the next one was our wedding song. Oh. So, of course, Gilbert has no chance to know it. I'm in like Flynn. He has no idea. He wasn't there.

I remember he wasn't there. He wasn't there. He has no idea. I'm in like Flynn. Okay, go ahead. Oh, give me land, lots of land under star is that gene autry yeah it's clearly gene autry don't fence me in right let me ride through the wide open country that i love don't fence me in. Let me be by myself in the evening breeze. Listen to

the murmur of the cottonwood trees. Send me off forever, but I ask you please, don't fence me in. Just turn me loose. Let me straddle my old saddle underneath the western

sky. 1934 I thought help was your wedding song That's great So do you know who this was written by? Jimmy Webb It was written in 1934 Do you know by who? God, I'll take a crazy guess and say a songwriter of the era, Hoagy Carmichael.

No. Do you know who was written by Gilbert? No. Initial CP? Cole Porter. Correct. See, I should know that stuff. Correct.

It's also one of the top 100 Western songs of all time. Beautifully constructed. Yes, and it was also written for a movie. Now you got me again. In 1934. Who was in the movie? And the movie was unproduced. Oh, I won't get it.

It was the prequel to Oklahoma called Nebraska. The Gilbert Audition? Adios, adios. Was it the prequel to Funky Monkey? It was originally written in 1934 for Adios Argentina. Oh, I have that. You have Adios Argentina? Yeah, there was Anthony Perkins' father.

What was it? Oh, Osgood Perkins. Osgood. Yeah. Who the hell else would know that, by the way? I was thinking of Onslow in my mind. No, Onslow. Osgood Perkins.

Getting it mixed up with Onslow Stevens. Yes. But Osgood Perkins would sing. He loved this song. Don't fence me in. He would sing it to Anthony Perkins. Did you really play that at your wedding, or were you fooling around? Yeah.

Oh, so you had a sense of humor about it. Yes. Did he know you were going to do that, or was it a surprise? I don't think so. I don't remember. Did you do a slow dance on the floor? It was just 11 know you were going to do that or was it a surprise? I don't think, I don't remember. Did you do a slow dance on the floor? There was just 11 people at our wedding. Wow. Yeah, we got, it was only family.

Were you in custody? It's 11 people. My wife and I got married at the downtown at the city hall. It was even less romantic. No, I think it was right before Jeff Ross's. It was. I put her in a cab and went to Jeff Ross's...

I should have known that was a Cole Porter composition, but I'm enjoying this. Okay. What's next? So the next song is the only song I ever sing when I do karaoke. Really?

Yeah. I've never done karaoke with you. It's called Romania, Romania. Okay. Go ahead. A live version. Oh, of course. Well, the title's in the...

The title's right there. That's true. Wait, it'll come to me. This is not the version I know. I know. I like this version. So you have to guess the artist. So Helen Reddy charted with this song. You're good. Helen Reddy charted.

He made a number one hit in 1973. But this was actually... Is this Loretta Lynn? Nope. So close. And it's also on Bette Midler's Divine Miss M record. Is it Tammy Wynette? Nope.

Is it Barry White? You're all wrong. It's John Davidson in drag. This is Barry White. Give up? I'm going to take one more guess. Okay. See, country's my blind spot.

So there are people screaming at their device, Frank, that doesn't sound like Tammy Wynette. I love country. It's going to kill me. It rhymes with Rania Rucker. There you go. There you go. Glen Campbell's ex.

There you go. Tanya Tucker. Tanya Tucker. 1972 is a top ten country hit for her. Wow. Again, I should have guessed that. Glen Campbell's ex. There you go. Tanya Tucker. Tanya Tucker. 1972 is a top 10 country hit for her. Wow. Again, I should have guessed that. I knew the song. Yeah.

There you go. Okay. Delta Dawn. Nice. Ellen Reddy is around and somebody we should try to get on the podcast. Because Gilbert sang I Am Woman on a mini episode. And she needs to hear that. Nice choices, Dara.

I'm enjoying it. Good. Let's keep going. I don't even mind being stupid. I'm having so much fun. You'll get the next one. I've gotten used to it over the years. So the words for the next one I just think are just so beautiful.

Okay. Hopefully they're not at the top. So beautiful. top. So beautiful. By the way, these are all 45s in your house? CDs. Oh, these are CDs. So we're going to do singles next week. Yes. So this is Dara's CD collection. Correct.

We had an apartment in the city. That's Bette Midler. Yes. Yeah. I recognize her voice anyway. She has a huge apartment in the city. Me and my husband like living there. I know this song. What the hell is it called? It's been years since the kids have grown. A life of their own.

Left us alone Gil, any guesses on the title? Oh. John and Linda living on my heart I mean, I know the song. Me too.

Can you hear it in there? Hello in there. Joe is somewhere on the road Frank's trying to give us clever hints. Very clever, Frank. We lost David

In the Korean War She's talented Isn't this beautiful? You know the writer? Don't matter anymore I know it's co-produced by Barry Manilow Beautiful I'm waiting for the chorus before I fade it out Beautiful.

I'm waiting for the chorus before I fade it out. I already started. You like a melancholy song, don't you? for someone to say hello in there. I read its title, Hello in There. You like a melancholy song, don't you, Dara? I do. You like me. Oh, I love sensitive people.

Yeah, I like a plaintive love song like Ray Charles' You Don't Know Me. Yeah. My favorite. This is like when we were playing like the death song.

It's a little bit. Sorry. Like you just want to, yeah, I want to throw myself in front of a train. It's beautiful, though. It's so beautiful. Surely you can see the beauty in it.

I love that number so much. And the Divine Miss M was one of my favorite albums when I was a kid. My parents would play that all the time and play John Denver and play Art Garfunkel. So you grew up in a house with all this music around. That's nice. Angel Claire. That's nice. Angel Claire. Okay. That's nice. So the next song is a song that I would sing with my hairbrush in front of a mirror when I was in junior high school.

Okay. All right. Go for it. That's not a good hint for me. Nope. Yeah. It's Pat Benatar. No.

No. Oh, it's... Oh, God. What's the matter with me? It's Patti Smythe and Scandal. Correct. No, it's not that either. Yes, it is. Yes, it is. Yes, it's the matter with me? It's Patti Smythe and Scandal. Correct. No, it's not them either. Yes, it is.

Yes, it is. It's the warrior. Yes, it is. I got it. Good job, Frank. Good job. I went around the bend. And who was she married to?

John McEnroe. There you go. Still? Still. I don't know. I think so. So this was actually written by Holly Knight, who wrote Love is a Battlefield. Yes.

Well, that's why I guess why I thought it was Benatar. Uh-huh. It's similar. And also by the writer Nick Gilder, who wrote Hot Child in the City. I love Nick Gilder. He wrote Hot Child in the City. There's a one-hit wonder for you. You know this song.

Oh, yeah. You know this song. Oh, yeah. In fact, Patti Smythe was one of those singers always in Catch a Rising Star in New York. Was she? Yeah. I mean, Pat Benatar, too. Well, Pat Benatar, we never covered this on the show.

Pat Benatar, great song, great pop song. Good call. Yeah, I love that song. You like those women power ballads I do you like the Benatar songs too I do she's coming she's coming to New York

Seven the Hard Way was one of my favorite albums she's great we never talked about this I saw her in the Berkshires I went to go see her you did she's great

she's coming to New York our friend Rick Newman the founder of Catch a Rising Star managed Pat and she lived in my apartment building years before I moved into it on 81st Street near the old Catch

yeah which is now long gone both Pat Benatar and Patti Smythe were both like local singers yes well Benatar Pat Benatar was a singing waitress was she not in those days I don't remember the waitress I'm mistaken but I mean she could have been but Danny Aiello was working the door yep yep and now I walk by it and it's just, there's nothing there. No. It's like it was a disco for a while and now it's just, there's no catch left. That was a good call, that song.

Yeah. I haven't heard that in many a year. I love that song. And Keenan Ivory Wayans was the doorman at the improv. You are correct. Very good. All right. So the next song, well, I'm not going to say anything. How am I doing? I'm like half the improv. You are correct. Very good. Alright. So the next song well I'm not going to say anything. How am I doing?

I'm like half an hour. You're doing great. I thought it was Pat Benatar. You're doing great. That was close. Hell yeah you're doing great. Yeah there you go. Go for it. If you're thinking that my life is a hoot and a holler.

I think I know the singer. I'd have to be dead to not know that's Neil Diamond. To the dark of the night. And that it's ringing like a bell. Listen to the words. That you only want to follow. Picking obscure songs. Gotta trust me when I say.

I'm just trying to get it right. Still I think about myself. What a voice. You're gonna hear me say Hell yeah it is And I say it loud I loved these words I loved it all I love these words Somebody get Gilbert a tissue I freed my soul

Just let it fly Don't have a title for you Hell yeah there's crazy life around me. Listen to this. It confuses and confounds me. But it's all the life I've got until I die. Hell yeah, it is. What's the title?

Hell yeah. Hell yeah, it is. So Frank was giving me another hint. So this is from 12 songs. Was this the album produced by Rick Rubin? Correct. Yeah. Go.

Way to go, Frank. It did a nice work together. I used to work with Rick. And best of all, do you know what Neil Diamond's nickname was? Legs? No. Neil Diamond, they used to call the Jewish Elfers. Oh, that's very good.

That's right. Boy, do I love Neil Diamond. I haven't thought of that in years. Have we given up on getting Neil Diamond on this show? No, I really, really, really want him to come on. I got to make some calls and see if we can get somebody who knows him. His son-in-law is a friend of my friend Astro's. Did we try?

I think he's, maybe he'll do it. We'll see. Yeah, we got to. Oh, God, he'd be great. God, I'd love him so much. My favorite Neil Diamond song is Brother Love's Traveling Salvation Show. Oh, great song. Yeah, used in a David Spade movie.

Great song. A great effect. Okay, what's next? Okay, next. This one, everybody uses that. This one, you're going to know. I'm not happy with my results. You'll know this one. Are you sad?

I am. You'll know this one. Cody Addis would know these if he were here. Well, that's Cat Stevens. Right. Is this Sad Lisa? Yeah. Yeah.

From Mona Bone Jacone. That's great. Was that the album? Yes, yes, yes. Do I have the right LP? Yes. Mona Bone Jacone. Yeah, Mac Mona Bone Jacone.

I saw him at the Beacon a couple years ago. I know you did, and I didn't get tickets. It's been a fortune. I know. I was too cheap, and I ended up standing outside, and I put my head to the back door trying to hear through the door at the Beacon, and I stood there by myself. Oh, my God. Maybe he'll come back.

Maybe he'll come back. That's the saddest thing I've heard. Maybe he'll come back. Because I couldn't get a ticket. It was sold out. It was sold out. Sandara. I went by myself.

All that's needed is lightning and thunder. What the heck's going on? Okay, the next one. I don't think you could stump me with a Cat Stevens song. That was... Yeah, I regret not getting tickets for that one.

He'll come back. After you figure out this next one, tell me what movie it was used in recently. There you go. Is this Mazel again? Cat Stevens does Mazel? Well, it's got to be 80s, just from that drum sound. Oh, God.

So 80s. Yeah. I know this. It's not Richard Marks. It's Cyndi Lau It's Cindy Lauper Uh huh Hell is the name of this Remember Gilbert? Yeah
