Starting point is 00:01:34 We're knocking them out. We're going through amazing Colossal Obsessions episodes to cover the summer, to cover August. Ray Bone is here. Hello. Always charismatic. That's all I got. Always charismatic. That's all I got. Always charismatic. We have two special guests
Starting point is 00:01:47 sitting. Two Daves. Dave Seidel. Hello. Hello, Dave. Dave is the lead systems engineer right here at Earwolf. He's a big fan of the show. He's a big friend of the show. If you love the Charles Fox episode, thank him because he's the guy that got that wonderful keyboard in here. He's still waiting
Starting point is 00:02:03 for a thank you from Gilbert. Yes, that was great. And the Neil Sadaka episode to come. Dave and Jared O'Connell were kind enough to... Another great episode. Yes, to provide us with needed music and tech. They're invaluable. They're big helps to the show.
Starting point is 00:02:21 Also, Dave number two, Dave Milstein. Hello, hello. Hello, Dave. Dave, how did you describe yourself when I asked you how you wanted to be introduced? I said I was a lawyer and a Jew. Which you don't find a lot of. That's a rarity.
Starting point is 00:02:37 It's just like Jew comedy writers. You just, I don't know where. That makes me the rare Gentile comedy writer. Yes. Like the people that write all those Christmas songs. So, we've been doing these record collection episodes. We started with my record collection
Starting point is 00:02:57 weeks ago. We did Dara's record collection. We even did Dara's mom's record collection when we started to get real obscure. Raybone, we did one with Raybone. The less said about that one, the better. Oh my god. Paul brought in Lithuanian...
Starting point is 00:03:13 I can't believe you couldn't get that. Yeah, dialect records from the 20s. So Dave and Dave have been observing. They've been in the next room in the booth with Frank. See see so they're observing juice they're observing juice very quick
Starting point is 00:03:30 and somebody among the three of us got the idea why don't you guys bring in your record collection and try to stump us so they happen to be on the premises Dave Milstein is a super fan. They're both fans, and they've brought us their record collection. So this one's going to be called Dave and
Starting point is 00:03:49 Dave's Record Collection, and we have not seen them. We do not know what the choices are. We've never met, as Kreskin says. They've been in touch with Frankie V. He's queued them up. You guys can figure out the rest. Dave is so talented, he's queued them up on his own computer. How about rest. Actually, Dave is so talented, he's queued them up on his own computer.
Starting point is 00:04:06 How about that? Dave Butcher loved that kind of guest. Does that kind of preparation. All right. We'll start with Dave Seidel. All right. How do you want to work it? Are you guys going to alternate
Starting point is 00:04:16 or are we going to do yours and then his? It's a mishmash. It's a mishmash. Yeah, we got a lot of the same records. We'll jump in anywhere. All right. So, Frank, you might know this one. Which Frank?
Starting point is 00:04:26 Both Franks. Okay, this is Seidel number one. We'll see if Gilbert knows this one first. Okay. Nah. That's an obscure one. Don't assume anything. But do you know the name of your theme song?
Starting point is 00:04:48 I do because I chose it. Okay. Yeah, so I'm going to disqualify myself. I do not know the name. Okay. So you want to tell us? Well, when we named the show, The Amazing Colossal Podcast,
Starting point is 00:05:01 which was obviously named after a movie, The Amazing Colossal Man, because we wanted to give the theme and the feel of what this show was going to be about. And we went searching for a piece of library music, and we wanted something a little eerie, a little creepy, but a little retro 60s, a little Dick Dale. And Gilbert's phone is going off. That was our alternative theme.
Starting point is 00:05:23 We could have used Gilbert's phone. It's called Vampire Strut. Correct. By a guy named Bob Bradley. Very good. It's very much in the league with Telstar. That's what I was trying to find. The Ventures.
Starting point is 00:05:36 Tolstoy. Not Tolstoy. Tolstoy. That's what we're going for. We're going for sort of that hip space age New York kind of surf. Yes. You know what's funny about music? I'm going to take voice lessons from Gilbert.
Starting point is 00:05:54 We first put it on the show. It sounded strange. But with repetition, over time. It's the signature song. It's the signature. It's inseparable from the show. I know how to play it on guitar. You do?
Starting point is 00:06:05 Yeah. In a future episode, will you do a live theme song for us? Sure, sure. That's great. So you started with the hard one. All right. By the way, I'd like to remind people that Gilbert had no idea what the name of it was. Yes.
Starting point is 00:06:18 Or the artist. Or had he ever heard it before? What was the name of it again? Vampire Strut. Ah, I like that. There you go. It seemed right. All right, next up.
Starting point is 00:06:34 Oh. Oh. I know what that is. This guy really does listen to the show. We just lost this artist. There's a change in the status quo. Gonna need all the help that we can get. According to our new arrival, life is more than mere survival.
Starting point is 00:07:14 We just might live a good life. He's not gonna get it. No. Now, why would you have picked that, I wonder? Because it's the theme to Mr. Belvedere. Oh, my God! Oh, my God! that, I wonder. Because it's the theme to Mr. Belvedere. Oh my God! Oh my God!
Starting point is 00:07:30 If he was sitting on his balls at the time, he would have guessed it. And I feel so proud because I was on the studio lot doing another show and when the news broke that Mr. Belvedere was rushed to the hospital because he just sat on his own balls.
Starting point is 00:07:49 The great Leon Redbone. But it wasn't written by Leon Redbone. It was written by Judy Hart Angelo and Gary Portnoy, who also wrote the theme to Cheers and Punky Brewster. Yes, yes. And now... Very good. Now, Christopher Hewitt wasn't the first person to play Mr.unky Brewster. Yes, yes. And now... Very good. Now, Christopher Hewitt wasn't the first person to play Mr. Belvedere.
Starting point is 00:08:10 Lifton Webb. Ah! And what movie? Also sat on his balls. But see, him, it wasn't as much weight. What was the title? Paging Mr. Belvedere or We Love Mr. Belvedere or Mr. Belvedere Strikes Again or something? It was the 1948 film Sitting Pretty.
Starting point is 00:08:32 Oh, okay. I'm way off. Oh, that's a great title. Sitting Pretty. But it was followed by two sequels, Mr. Belvedere Goes to College and Mr. Belvedere Rings the Bell. There you go. Mr. Belvedere Rings the Bell. Lift you go. Mr. Belvedere rings the bell. Clifton Webb from Titanic.
Starting point is 00:08:47 Yes, yes, yes. I remember. Yes, and Laura, of course. And he's got that one line where his grandson decides not to leave the Titanic and he says, I want to stay with you, Grandpa. And Clifton Webb says,
Starting point is 00:09:04 I've never been as proud of you as I am this moment. Beautiful. Never sat on his balls once, Clifton Webb. And if he did, he'd hardly feel it. He was a little man. With surprisingly large testicles. Seidel has put some thought into these selections.
Starting point is 00:09:25 These really are. These are gods. He's a clever fellow. All right. Here we go. Number three. Ah, Zapp! Something's happening to me.
Starting point is 00:09:44 Something's happening to me It's happening to me It's a quiet kid I used to be Not long ago One I used to know Someone's so strange Suddenly my whole life has been changed Turn inside out. Makes me want to shout.
Starting point is 00:10:09 Here I am. Take a look at me. I'm Isaac Heiden. I'm twice as free like a dream. That was meant to be. This time it's fine. I'm ready to go where I did before. I'm not going to hide from it anymore.
Starting point is 00:10:25 I'm going to hide like a anymore. I'm going to hide like a swan. This time, it's mine. Oh, it's my go. No shot. And I'm ready to get what you got if you're ready or not. I was always playing hide and seek. Hiding from the light. And behind the light, I can see the light.
Starting point is 00:10:54 Here I am. Take a look at me. I'm high as a kite. Now twice as free like a dream that's meant to be. This time it's mine. I'm not running away like I did before. How do we stop him? I'm not going to hide like what you thought.
Starting point is 00:11:11 I'm going to find what I'm looking for. You put the dime in, you get the whole song. This time it's mine. Go to China and I'm ready to get what you got. If you're ready or not. If you're ready or not If you're ready or not Oh, this is that horn solo Thank you, Corky
Starting point is 00:11:32 That was beautiful Just five minutes of our lives We'll never get back Did you ever hear anyone be ahead and behind In the same song? Now, okay Now, Charlie Fox If you're out there, memorize that.
Starting point is 00:11:49 And then you let him come back. Yes, and then come back just to do that. You can come in, play that, and then leave. He's going to fly in. Wow. Just do that one. I like the Zap thing. Maybe David Pomerantz lives in New York.
Starting point is 00:12:05 Yes, yes. Seidel, now you're just pandering. All right, now we're going to switch it up a little bit. That was fun. Next one is a Dave Milstein pick. Oh, moving on to the other Dave. Yes, here we go. Much has been said of the strumpets of yore
Starting point is 00:12:22 Of wenches and bawdy house queens by the score But I sing of the baggage that we all adore The landlord's daughter You'll never love another Although she's not the kind of girl to take home Greybone, any guesses? Greybone, any guesses? Ooh, it's deep in thought.
Starting point is 00:13:00 You might get it. Wow. We can assume it's called The Landlord's Daughter. Yeah. Do you consider yourself stumped yet? Yes, yes. I consider us very stumped. Extremely stumped. That's from one of the greatest horror movies of all time, The Wicker Man.
Starting point is 00:13:19 Oh! Christopher Lee. Yes. I know the scene. Yeah. So, yeah, not to give away anything too much about the movie to the listeners, but that's when Edward Woodward is starting to pick up on there being something very wrong with the people in that town. And they're singing about Brett Eklund there.
Starting point is 00:13:36 Also a podcast-specific song you chose. So you've been listening even to the mini episodes. That's correct. Yes, we picked The Wicker Man as a movie recommendation many moons ago. Wow, that was very impressive. Is that the scene where Britt Eklund is? That's not the one where she's dancing. So there's two really great songs in that movie.
Starting point is 00:13:54 There's that one, and then there's a song called Gently Johnny. Right. And the seduction one is Gently Johnny. A wonderfully disturbing film. Yes. Well-made film. It's one of my top five horror films. Terrific job. And somade film. It's one of my top five horror films. Terrific job.
Starting point is 00:14:06 And so a little trivia about that one. That was written by Paul Giovanni and performed by a group called Magnet who appear in that scene as the musicians. Wow.
Starting point is 00:14:14 And so there's actually a spiritual sequel. Robin Hardy made a sequel called The Wicker Tree. Yes, Robin Hardy, the director. Right. Yes.
Starting point is 00:14:23 And now this one I know getting back to Zapped, I know who sang it. Do you know the group that sang Ready or Not? Was it Magnet? Nope. J. Fred Poots? No. It was Plain Jane. It was Plain Jane.
Starting point is 00:14:45 Yes. Yes. That's right. Yeah. Yep. Nice choice, Milstein. Thank you. Thank you.
Starting point is 00:14:52 And another side note, the author of The Wicker Man, or rather the screenwriter, Anthony Schaefer, who is Jewish, he wrote a treatment for a sequel called The Loathsome Lambton Worm that, again, without
Starting point is 00:15:05 spoiling anything, it takes place immediately after The Wicker Man ends and it takes off from there, but it never got produced. Very impressive. I'm as stumped as Toadie Fields. How about you? We will return to Gilbert Gottfried's amazing colossal podcast after this. Baseball is finally back. Amazing Colossal Podcast after this.

Boy, we've been embarrassing ourselves here so far. Her head is growing bald. Her feet are twice her size.
Starting point is 00:16:40 She says it's not her fault. She's got Marty Feldman eyes. She'll mess with you. She'll tie you up with her thighs. She'll confuse the hell out of you. She's got Marty Feldman eyes. I think you can fade in. It's obviously a parody of Kim Cron's Betty Davis eyes.
Starting point is 00:17:04 I could give a hint if it would help. Give a hint. Think David Crosby. Is it David Crosby? It's not David Crosby. Well, it's Bruce Baum, the 80s stand-up comic. Bruce Baum. Oh, jeez.
Starting point is 00:17:18 Speaking of funny comics. Wow. Yeah, an answer to a question from a previous show. In 1981, he put out a single covering Kim Carnes' Betty Davis eyes. It was Marty Feldman's eyes. But now what I really wanted to ask both of you, and this is good, do you guys know the connection between Marty Feldman and Mad Magazine beyond him just appearing in it?
Starting point is 00:17:41 Oh, no. Wait a minute. I know the connection between John Cleese and Mad Magazine. That's not what I was thinking. Right. Why don't you say who the artist's author is?
Starting point is 00:17:51 Specifically, Sergio Aragonese and Marty Feldman. Wow. I don't know. Was there a Gru the Wanderer movie developed with Marty
Starting point is 00:18:00 in the lead? Shout out to Mark Evanier, our pal. So in the early 2000s, to Mark Evanier, our pal. In the early 2000s, DC Comics had an anthology comic series called Solo, where each issue was devoted to one particular artist, and they could do whatever they want with it. In Sergio Aragonese's issue of Solo, he tells about the time he possibly killed Marty Feldman.
Starting point is 00:18:23 This is great trivia. So he was a school friend of a director named Juan Lopez Moctezuma. Love his work. Yep. Alicarta. No, I'd never heard of him. So they were childhood friends. Then in 1981, he gets a phone call from Moctezuma asking, would you want to fly down to Mexico City, appear in a movie I'm making called To Kill a Stranger, which had Dean Stockwell in it.
Starting point is 00:18:46 Okay. Which I've never seen. Wow. Or, you know. So he goes down there. He's playing a federale. He's an armed cop. Sergio Aragones is dressed up as a Mexican police officer with a gun.
Starting point is 00:18:55 He's taking a stroll around the set. He wanders into another movie set that it turns out is the set of Treebeard. It's a movie with Peter Boyle and James Mason and Cheech and Chong. And most importantly... They changed the title to Yellowbeard. I'm sorry, Yellowbeard. Treebeard is Lord of the Rings. That's okay. And Marty Feldman's in it. So he
Starting point is 00:19:15 finds out Marty Feldman is in this movie. He goes crazy. I need to meet Marty Feldman. He's my hero. He spies him on set and he runs up to him. Marty Feldman! Marty Feldman! Except forgetting he's dressed as a Mexican police officer with a fake gun. So he said, Marty Feldman turned around hero he spies him on set and he runs up to him marty feldman marty feldman except forgetting he's dressed as a mexican police officer with a fake gun so he said marty feldman turned around and was ah and he's basically screaming at marty feldman that like i i'm a cartoonist but i love you and i'm an actor and marty feldman doesn't know what's going on and so uh he leaves dejected
Starting point is 00:19:39 marty feldman just staring at him he spends the whole night torturing himself that he blew this opportunity so he says the next day i'm gonnauring himself that he blew this opportunity. So he says, the next day I'm going to make it right. He goes back to the set. He asks some actors like, hey, where's Marty Feldman? I need to apologize to him and to speak to him. He said, you didn't hear the news?
Starting point is 00:19:53 He died last night. Wow. And so he's always wondered if he possibly played a role in that. How spooky. Ooh. In his heart attack. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:20:03 Wow. Now I'm just sad. A bit of a downer. That's a seat. Dave Milstein playing the role of Paul Raybone. Bringing the room down. That's my job. But that's what Gina always says about me.
Starting point is 00:20:17 Like in the middle of an interview, I'll have a funny story. Everyone's laughing and I'll go, your wife died in childbirth. You've been guilty of that a funny story. Everyone's laughing, and I'll go, your wife died in Charlottesville. You've been guilty of that a few times. We won't mention specifics. Good stuff. Good trivia.
Starting point is 00:20:34 Barry. Bruce Baum. That's a chilly one. I want to mention. Okay, back to Dave Seidel. Next up. Now, I heard a story with Bruce Baum that one time he was at an airport and another comic spotted him. And the other comic was Arabic.
Starting point is 00:20:51 And I forget the comic's name. And he saw Bruce Baum and he starts yelling, Baum! Baum! And they arrested him. Chino's on the phone right now. There you go. You mentioned him, and there he is. Hold him up to the mic. All right, Gino, when you hear this episode.
Starting point is 00:21:11 What's that? Hold him up to the mic. Put him up to the mic. Gino, you there? I'm here. You're on the air. We're recording. I'm sorry.
Starting point is 00:21:22 That's okay. Gilbert was just saying how you tell him how he can ruin any interview by taking it into a dark direction. What tragedy has he brought up now? We're going to call you back right after this episode. We got two guys doing music. Take your time. We love you, buddy.
Starting point is 00:21:40 Okay, Seidel. Back to you. Alright, here we go. She got a nose job, she got a nose job It's now turned up instead of hanging down She got a nose job, she got a nose job And now she's the prettiest gal in town Gil, any takers? No
Starting point is 00:22:01 She never had a boy to walk her home She never had a boy who cared You both may have had this at some point Any takers? No. You both may have had this at some point. Was it a guy who made comedy novelty records or a legit singer? This is a comedy record. Raybone, anything? Sorry to wake you, Paul. No guesses. Okay, so there was two issues of Mad Magazine in 1962 that came with Flexi Records.
Starting point is 00:22:28 Oh! And this is for Mad Twists Rock and Roll. Wow. And that's actually a doo-wop group called the Delwoods that I think never did much else. I'm so ashamed of myself for not knowing this great stuff. Impressive, impressive. All right, Next up. This sounds so familiar.
Starting point is 00:22:59 Oh, Lon Chaney Jr. Oh, it's Monsters Holiday. Yes. Yes. We played this on an episode one Christmas. All right. Let me hear it. Nice work.
Starting point is 00:23:12 Was that a Seidel or a Milstein selection? That was a Milstein. Nice work, Dave. Was this before or after Monster Mash? It was after. After, yeah.
Starting point is 00:23:20 It's a cover. It's such a ripple. It actually has the same backup singers from Monster. And he recorded it in between filming Spider Baby. Oh, okay. Nice. So that's one of the two songs because Lon Chaney also sang the theme song to Spider Baby.
Starting point is 00:23:40 Which is great. That song is amazing. Yes. I can't remember how it goes. Isn't Sid Hague in Spider Baby? Yep. Yeah. How about that? All Yes. I can't remember how it goes. Isn't Sid Hagen Spider Baby? Yep. Yeah. How about that?
Starting point is 00:23:47 All right. Good calls, man. Good stuff. Next up. Are you entertained, Gilbert? Oh, yes. How hard these guys have worked. Yes.
Starting point is 00:23:54 This next one is my favorite song of the week. But I never got a t-shirt. Go ahead. I've been listening to this song over and over. Okay. I don't think we've guessed one yet except for our own theme. That's Burgess Meredith. Oh, yeah.
Starting point is 00:24:18 Correct. Well, it's some Batman thing. Well, it's some Batman thing, but... Is this from that Batman LP from the 60s? Yep. Batmania. But it was first released on a 45. This is great. Oh, this is gold.
Starting point is 00:24:43 All right. This is great. Oh, this is gold. So you want to explain that this one's called the capture. The A side is the capture. So he gets captured by Batman. This is great. And the B side is the escape. So it ends with the penguin getting away and, you know, really giving it to Burt Ward. Can I make your pardon?
Starting point is 00:25:08 Oh, boy. Have you seen the Gorshin, the live version? It's on YouTube where he does the Riddler. Wow, no. I've heard that song. On a variety show. No. It's great. I'll send it to you.
Starting point is 00:25:18 People have put it on the Listener Society. Great find. I saw a trailer for a movie that looks scary as hell. And the funny thing, it stars Frank Gorshin as George Burns. Mr. Frank Gorshin. Yes. Yeah. Oh, he did a one-man show as George Burns.
Starting point is 00:25:40 No, this wasn't a one-man show. It was an actual movie. I've got to find this. Where, and it's like, I think they have other people, maybe Rodney Dangerfield pops up in it, but he looks and sounds exactly like George Burns, but the movie looks beyond horrible. Fascinating.
Starting point is 00:26:01 Okay, we'll have to find out what that is. Yeah, but that Riddler. Yeah. I heard the recording of it, but I never saw that live performance. He does jokes and he dances and he's actually, he moves quite well. Okay. Yeah. All right, this next one's me.
Starting point is 00:26:15 Okay. Even though we're on this. Oh, even though. Frank Ocean died of cancer from all the smoking. Yes, he did. Yeah. Yeah. I believe emphysema. Yeah. Yes. And then, yeah, he's a two-pack-a-et smoker. Yes, he did. Yeah. I believe emphysema.
Starting point is 00:26:25 Yeah. Yes. And then, yeah, he's a two-pack-a-day smoker. And then I think his daughter commits suicide when she found out that he...
Starting point is 00:26:32 I don't think that happens. All right. Okay, Seidel, hit us. Even though we're on Stitcher Premium, it's time for a commercial break. Yeah. Poundary Lodge. You own this as a record, huh?
Starting point is 00:27:05 Yep. This was in your record collection. You had to go to the WFMU record fair back in the day. Wow. The real deep cuts. Wow. Boy, how many times have I heard that one? Beautiful Mount Airy Lodge.
Starting point is 00:27:23 I like it. Jeez. I've been there. You got some facts. What was the other one? The Mily Lodge. I like it. I've been there. You got some facts. What was the other one? The Milford Plaza jingle. Yeah, that's right. We had that one.
Starting point is 00:27:30 That was actually cute. I always enjoy that one. And, you know, for listeners that don't know, Mount Airy Lodge was a Poconos resort. It was kind of the Catskills of Pennsylvania. Sure, sure. Podcast favorites like Milton Berle, Nipsey Russell, and Connie Francis played there.
Starting point is 00:27:43 And the commercial was kind of famous for that champagne glass jacuzzi. As kids, we would watch that commercial and want to go up there and beg our parents to go swim in that jacuzzi that was probably covered in flames. DNA. I don't want to get in a jacuzzi Nipsey Russell
Starting point is 00:27:59 had you been in. Coconut juice. Okay, was that a Milstein or a Seidel? That was me. But you had been in. Coconut juice. Okay. That was a Milstein or a Seidel? That was me. That was a Seidel. It's both. That wasn't really a 45, but.
Starting point is 00:28:15 I'll let you stretch the premise. I also remember all those years when I was a kid of those billboards that would have a picture of Jerry Lewis saying Browns is my favorite resort. There you go. Okay, who's next? This is fun. This is me. I haven't guessed one of these fuckers yet.
Starting point is 00:28:44 Paul? Gilly? It sounds I haven't guessed one of these fuckers yet. Paul? Jesus, I don't know. Gilly? It sounds so familiar. Ramones-esque. Yeah. That's because it is the Ramones. Okay.
Starting point is 00:28:57 Well, that's one reason. All right. So far, I've guessed Ramones and Burgess Meredith. Which, too, that always go together. They do. They were go together. They do. They were great together. All right. So, Gilbert, you know you're one of the surviving Ramones?
Starting point is 00:29:11 Yes. Gilbert Ramone? Yeah. So who else is still alive? That, you know, that's someone I was talking to someone recently trying to figure out. Timmy Ramone? Timmy? What?
Starting point is 00:29:23 There was no Timmy. There was a Timmy. Frank's just making fun of Freddie Ramone. He's still there. Freddie Ramone Timmy? What? There was no Timmy It was just Timmy Freddy Ramone He's still there Freddy Ramone So CJ is still alive The bass player Second bass player Oh okay
Starting point is 00:29:34 Elvis Ramone Who is Clem Burke from Blondie Very good And then Richie Ramone Who was also one of the drummers Excellent And then there's Zeppo Ramone That was actually a question Richie Ramone, who was also one of the drummers. Excellent. And then there's Zeppo Ramone.
Starting point is 00:29:46 There was Zeppo. That was actually a question I was going to ask. Tito. From your time in the Ramones, who, if they were the Marx Brothers, who would be Chico? Aren't you flattered that they've done so much research, not into the show, but into your career? Amazing.
Starting point is 00:30:05 Amazing, Amazing. Yes. Now, from the, what was that, from Up All Night? Yes, Up All Night. So in the beginning of that, you're on Avenue B and 2nd Street outside of what used to be called the gas station, which was like a club that was kind of made out of garbage. Yeah. And my brother actually lived diagonally across the street.
Starting point is 00:30:25 That was a colorful area. Yeah. Yeah. Back in those days. I can't imagine being there with a video crew. Yes. I don't think we left with all of our cameras. That was an interesting hood.
Starting point is 00:30:44 Okay. Is Milstein next? hood. Okay, is Milstein next? Yes. Okay. And this is the penultimate. Penultimate. Penultimate. Because I used to live on Avenue A.
Starting point is 00:30:53 Oh, yeah? Okay. Yeah. Another funny thing about that song, actually, the lyrics were originally, I'm a Nazi baby, I'm a Nazi baby. And I think Seymour Stein was like, we're not having you sing, I'm a Nazi baby.
Starting point is 00:31:03 So if you listen to it, he says, I'm a Nazi shotzy, which is Yiddish for like a little cutie, like a little baby. So he's basically saying it anyway. Speaking of all that, I brought you a little plastic swastika for your 45. Oh, he brought you a Rick, a 45 adapter. Wow. Look at that. Oh, Gil, you made out tonight.
Starting point is 00:31:22 So nice. They did all this prep, and they brought swag. They brought gifts. Thank you for using the word penultimate correctly. Here's the penultimate number. Two live crew? Yes, correct. And who is that guest vocalist?
Starting point is 00:31:44 Gilbert knows. I'm going to play the beginning again so he can listen closely. Here we go. Who is being sampled in this record? If you were DJ Gilbert, what would you have sampled? Yeah, what would you have sampled to get the top? Cueing it back up. Here we go oh love you long time
Starting point is 00:32:12 oh fuck fuck oh fuck yes happy on choo choo yes if only she knew oh she's also a hip hop star in addition to an actress and a prostitute Le'Veon Choo Choo. Yes. If only she knew.
Starting point is 00:32:25 Oh. She was also a hip-hop star in addition to an actress and a prostitute. So does our lawyer... That was a hit. Yeah. Does our lawyer want to say a little something about that song? Oh, that's right. So on that... So that album is called As Nasty As They Want To Be.
Starting point is 00:32:43 It was the first and I think to date only album ever declared legally obscene. Interesting. When Tipper Gore was out hunting, head hunting. Nice choice. We were just talking about Papillon about 35 minutes ago. See, because the problem, I've wanted her on the show since we started. And Frank keeps saying to me, he goes, well, what are you going to say? You know, get her to say me so horny and that's it.
Starting point is 00:33:14 And I said, well, yeah, yeah. You can ask her what could you get for $10. Sure, she'll love it. I'm sure she'll be so flattered. She'll tell all her friends. And I'm sure no one else has flattered she'll tell all her friends and I'm sure no one else has ever asked her to say that oh boy oh boy
Starting point is 00:33:31 I think it would probably be like getting in Jimmy Walker and say come on scream Dino Mike I said you could do your Bill Dana Sue see with her
Starting point is 00:33:45 It was a woman on Sopranos Christopher What was her name? That wasn't Bill Dana's bit, it was Mel Blank's bit Mel Blank, yeah Who died 30 years ago yesterday Very good See, now you're taking over the Gilbert Park
Starting point is 00:34:02 A green room Is there one left? Yes. The final one. It's a short one. Oh, boy. You're going to have a hard time topping that one. It's Tara's theme from the million dollar movie.
Starting point is 00:34:22 What else might it be? Million dollar movie. Million dollar movie. Million dollar movie. What else might it be? Million dollar movie. Million dollar movie. Million dollar movie. Great piece of music. We picked this one because this is sort of the going to bed hour at one point in New York City. Oh, boy. You guys are taking me back.
Starting point is 00:34:35 Who wrote it? Max Steiner, right? I don't know. I think Max Steiner. From King Kong. And. Check me out on that, Paul. Make sure I'm right.
Starting point is 00:34:46 Wasn't he also, uh, ma-ma-ma-ma-ma... Oh, God! The Humphrey Bogart and, uh... Casablanca. No, no, with the gold. Treasure of Sierra Madre. He did the music for that, too, didn't he?
Starting point is 00:35:10 Dun-dun-da-dun-da-dun-da-dun-da-dun-da-dun-da-dun-da-dun-da-dun-da-dun-da-dun-da-dun-da-dun-da-dun-da-dun-da-dun-da-dun-da-dun-da-dun-da-dun-da-dun-da-dun-da-dun-da-dun-da-dun-da-dun-da-dun-da-dun-da-dun-da-dun-da-dun-da-dun-da-dun-da-dun-da-dun-da-dun-da-dun-da-dun-da-dun-da-dun-da-dun-da-dun-da-dun-da-dun-da-dun-da-dun-da-dun-da-dun-da-dun-da-dun-da-dun-da-dun-da-dun-da-dun-da-dun-da-dun-da-dun-da-dun-da-dun-da-dun, da-dun, da-dun, da-dun, da-dun, da-dun, da-dun, da-dun. You show me one other podcast that's going to get Mount Airy Lodge, Treasure of the Sierra Madre, and two live crews, Miso Horney, in the same episode. It doesn't exist. Paul, how are we doing on that? Was it Max Steiner, in fact? I haven't got it yet. We're going to do another episode while waiting for Paul. Guys, this was terrific.
Starting point is 00:35:37 This was great. Yeah, it was great fun. What wonderful prep. How many of those were actual records? Oh, a lot of them. Most of these, yeah. I mean, I actually have the Mr. Belvedere on vinyl. It sounds way better on vinyl. It does. It does. It does. Volume 6, Remote Control. Yep. TVT Records, 1996. Alright, let me see how fast, let me show Paul how it's done. I just started looking at that. And the other thing that, the other music. A summer place. Yeah, but was it Tara's theme?
Starting point is 00:36:09 Who composed it? While we're waiting for Paul. If you'd like to go out and jog or learn. If you'd like to learn. Max Steiner, how long did that take me? 22 seconds. If you'd that take me? 22 seconds. If you'd like to master the cello. I almost got it.
Starting point is 00:36:31 Don't sign off yet. I think I've got it. This was very entertaining. There was also that other one that depressed me because it meant it was late. And that was, and I forget the name. Oh, the syncopated clock? Yeah. it was late and that was and I forget the name da da da da da da syncopated clock yes yes yes
Starting point is 00:36:51 that was another depressing we all lived through the days when television went off the air yes that was suicidal the point of allegiance and then static there's a Billy Joel song called sleeping with the television on that ends with the star spangled banner and then you hear There's a Billy Joel song called Sleeping with the Television on that ends with the star-spangled banner. And then you hear the white noise, and it's just so dated.
Starting point is 00:37:10 And then go. Yeah, yeah. Those were sad days when you were an insomniac. Oh, and that. And no VCRs in those days. It's not like you could fire up a movie. Those were like suicide. I think people would probably commit suicide at that point. Between 12 and 4 a.m.?
Starting point is 00:37:26 Yes. What's another pop song that references television going off the air in the middle of the night? Is that 100 Channels and There's Nothing On? No, Dean Friedman's Ariel. Do you know that song? No. Okay. Well, that's one for the listeners. I thought two guys
Starting point is 00:37:42 like you would know it. I had one quick question for you guys. When I did my obscure record collection, we talked about the Please Please Me and Love Me Do. They're credited as McCartney and Lennon. Yeah, I knew that one. And then you mentioned one other example. Yeah, in the mid to late 90s, McCartney did a record called Paul Is Live, I believe. And that one, he switched them around to Piss Off Yoko. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:38:08 Oh, I just, that reminds me of something else. You know, we did a whole show about story records. Story songs, yeah. And we left out Rocky Raccoon. Rocky Raccoon fell back in his room only to find Gideon's life. Well, there are a million Beatle ones we could have done. There's so many. Ob-La-Dee Ob-La-Dah is a story song.
Starting point is 00:38:30 You really want to get technical. Thank you, guys. Thank you. This was an absolute treat. Great episode. Yeah, really, for a Jew and a Gentile, Gilbert. Okay, just give credit to the Jew. I do want to thank you, Gilbert, because if it wasn't for you,
Starting point is 00:38:47 I mean, I probably was the only 10-year-old in Brooklyn that knew who Kurt Valdeheim was. I appreciate that. Kurt Valdeheim and Joyce DeWitt in the same bit, as I recall. Dave Milstein, super fan. Dave Seidel, engineer extraordinaire. Big helper to us. Thank you guys for this. This was an absolute treat. Sorry we only guessed one out of 60.
Starting point is 00:39:11 Gil? Oh. Well, you'll say their names. I don't fucking pay attention. This has been Gilbert and Frank's Amazing Colossal Obsessions. Thanks, guys. Colossal Obsessions
