Presented by Capital One, founding partner of iHeart Women's Sports. On Thanksgiving
Day, 1999, five-year-old Cuban boy Elian Gonzalez was found off the coast of Florida.
And the question was, should the boy go back to his father in Cuba? Mr. Gonzalez wanted to go home
and he wanted to take his son with him. Or stay with his relatives in Miami. Imagine that
your mother died trying to get you to freedom. Listen to Chess Peace, the Elian Gonzalez story

We go deep into Jelly Roll's life story from being in and out of prison from the age of 13 to being one of today's biggest artists.
I was a desperate delusional dreamer.
Be a delusional dreamer.

And listen to this sound.
Ah!
Oh my god!
That's a little bottle of VUV for your nerves.
VUV to move the spirits of a nation.
Yes!
As we absolutely get together today, Bo,
for what is the 300th episode of Las Culturistas.
Can you fucking even? So, Raise Your Glass
If You Are Wrong
Hitting all the right ways
More on that one later. I mean,
we started with that song
pretty recently in an episode.
Yes. Raise Your Glass by Pink.
Well, not to sort of get ahead of ourselves because
It was the Jared episode, I think. I believe it was.
And not to sort of get ahead of ourselves, but the
reason why it was so easy to sort of, quote-unquote, as you said, start with Raise Your Glass on that episode is because it's at the forefront of the culture.
Absolutely.
Yeah.
And that is what this series of episodes is about.
Say that.
Say that.
And keep saying that.
Well, if you don't know, we've been sort of building up to it for a while now, for a couple months at least.
Oh, yeah.
We are presenting you, the readers, the publicists, with the 300 songs of the Great Global Songbook.
What does that mean?
What does it mean to be on this book, be in the Great Global Songbook? global songbook it means that when you were released whether that was by streaming or even
on a record years ago yeah you had international impact instantly this is the great global songbook
this is not the national song no las codrillas has no national pride it's actually a rule of
culture number 16 las codrillas has no national pride nationalism will destroy us all and it's
destroying us currently and it's
yeah now but speaking sort of about the world um one of the most important things in the world is
music i think you can agree cheers to that cheers to that and absolutely let's just say that the
whole community the whole lost college expanded community is here we have you know hans we have
anna we have doug and you know tonight and you know, tonight it's just family.
Tonight it's just family. We've been hearing
the calls. Oh yeah.
Everyone's saying, we want Lost Culture to do
Culture Catch-Up. Yes.
We hear you. We'll do you one even better.
We'll do you 300 even better.
We'll do you 300 even better. Culture Catch-Up,
how about for all time?
For all time. How about for music of all time?
How about you wanted Lost Culture to sort of get together in the room, look each other dead in the eyes and talk culture?
You're going to get fucked in your ass.
You're going to get fucked in your ass.
Let me just say, it's vibes and the vibe is different.
We say this every time we meet back up again in person.
It's just not the same over Zoom.
It's just not the same over Zoom.
And one of the great things about this is that not only can Bowen and I be together,
but like we said, we have the Lost Coach expanded family here.
And they're all going to be making cameos today.
Absolutely.
Which they don't even know.
But they're all going to come in and they're all going to tell us at some point,
not right now, because I saw you get up, Doug, and I didn't say now.
No, he went to go grab a coffee.
He made a pot.
Well, don't come in yet.
Because I didn't say.
You didn't say either, right?
I did not make a
peep so he was not invited he's not invited in so later when he's invited and he can come in and he
can sort of say what lost culture he thinks has done for him his career uh you know and really
the international community at large absolutely i think we should waste no time i well and before
we sort of get into it there is a twist there's
a twist there's a lot there's a classic las coderistas twist um with this 300th episode
not only are we presenting the great global songbook the songbook is a list and the list
is a countdown it's a countdown there is a number one song of list is a countdown. It's a countdown.
There is a number one song of all time in the world.
And there is a number 300
song in the world.
And we have meticulously
gone through this list.
And it's an honor to be on the list.
It's an honor to be on the list.
There is no such thing as being on the list
and being a failure of a piece of culture.
Right. Of a song. Exactly. You are in the great global songbook this is something celebrate it
celebrate it this is people will be singing this for generations to come the children will be
singing the songs at graduation at weddings at funerals children will be singing the songs
at weddings at funerals you know here's the thing too um when when you when you get when
you if you are an artist on the list and you want to reach out to us please do it through channels
please do it through proper channels yeah do it through proper channels because the dms you know
it's so overwhelming it's so overwhelming for us my God. You got to go through your requests.
So let's just say,
like I'm going through the list right now.
Donna Sommer,
if you're out there,
you have some songs on the list.
Go through channels.
Go through channels.
Please.
Whatever that means.
Yeah,
whatever that means to you.
And I think we should start,
you know,
right before we hit play,
Bowen.
Yeah.
Hot Engineer Doug.
What?
He said something to us. he said yeah i'm just
reading the quote me too he came into this room earlier and said the flow can dictate the feel
the flow can dictate the feel that's one of the hottest things he's ever said it really was sort
of jarring and i think in the moment I sort of responded in a negging way.
Because I think I was scared at how aroused I was.
When you have fear over the arousal, when it feels forbidden.
When it feels forbidden, that can be some of the hottest moments in your life.
That's actually real culture number 50.
When it feels forbidden, that can actually be some of the hottest moments of your life.
You know?
What does that mean to you, the flow can dictate the feel?
I think what he was trying to say was that
we don't have to feel like we're spending too much
time or not enough time on any song.
The flow can dictate the feel. You know, we are gonna be
sitting here for six hours.
That's another thing. We're gonna
be here all day, and maybe we're even gonna have
some surprise guests. Maybe some surprise guests surprise guests maybe some surprise guests maybe not too many maybe not too few maybe none maybe
none we'll see we really created a playground a sandbox for different people to come through
and play and build castles yes so because that's what happens in a sandbox really you get into it and you build
a castle and so i think that all we're really trying to do with this is build a castle that is
the 300 well i think and i'm being completely honest i looked through this list this morning
yeah we've built a monument this will stand the test of cultural time. This is a canon list. This is canon. This is like the top 200 moments of culture.
This is canon.
I feel like this list by itself is its own moment in culture history.
We may have to make a new list.
We may have to make a new list.
Well, what do you say?
I say.
Let's begin because guess what?
To quote a famous person.
My ass has been on pause.
Yeah.
But I'm about to press play.
And let's press play.
What do you say?
Play.
Podcast being a visual medium,
I just totally mimed hitting play.
A button.
Wait, everyone listen.
Okay.
And with that, we have number 300 someone to watch over me
ella fitzgerald one of the most incredible communicators of story and music of all time
absolutely longing um the first time you know one of the only times the word monogram is used in a song.
One of Gershwin's finest, best songs.
I mean, effortlessly performed by Ella, whose vibrato is singular.
You know, she just, and just the last notes of the song, you never forget.
Oh, me.
That was sort of my Ella.
That was beautiful.
Yeah.
So she, of my Ella. That was beautiful.
Congratulations, Ella.
You just eked the 300th spot. You made the list.
Number 299.
Blurred Lines.
Glee Cast version.
Glee Cast.
I mean, this was...
This elevated the material.
This elevated the material because the source
material is a little dubious.
Let's just say it's a little thick.
It's a little thick.
Okay.
So to speak.
So to speak and so to be spoken.
So to be spoken.
But to have the artists of their generation, the Glee cast, be able to make it palatable, presentable,
appropriate for a Fox network prime time for kids.
Kids now
were singing about the blurred lines.
You know what I mean? Kids were singing it.
And it's not kids bop. No, no, no, no.
It's Glee cast.
It's adults doing
teens for kids.
That's not kids bop.
No. It's very kids, Bob. No.
It's very different.
You're passing down something through intergenerational access.
Absolutely.
And I think that Blurred Lines is important.
If you just read the lyrics.
Sometimes on some of these songs, if you really want to just internalize a song, just read the lyrics.
And then be like, understand, the kids, of course, should hear this.
Absolutely.
Palatable.
Number 298.
Venus, Lady Gaga.
I mean, transport me, why don't you?
Why don't you?
To another galaxy.
Or our own solar system.
Well, up for debate.
Up for debate.
You might say Venus is not in this galaxy.
We don't share a galaxy with Venus.
Well, honey, I'll tell you what song is in my heart.
Venus. Venus. You remember years ago, me, you, and Dave Rizzoni.
We went to karaoke in Williamsburg. Yes, we
did, but do you remember the time we performed
Venus at the People's Improv Theater?
Yes. Oh my, we had different
memories. See, the fact that we have different
indelible memories of
Venus, because we,
I remember the time
you and I did it at karaoke
in Williamsburg
with Michael Hartney
sitting in the corner.
Yes.
Hearing this song
for the first time going,
what the hell is this?
And were we not the purveyors
of joy in that moment?
Girl, we were like,
you know,
importing,
you know,
when you meet a white lady
in Los Angeles
who sells artisanal vinegar
or whatever,
our vinegar was Venus.
Yes.
We were the people who were like, let me show you this beautiful product.
Before we move on, favorite planet?
Neptune.
I'm going to say Jupiter.
But I also have a solid spot for Mercury.
Mars.
And several stars! Okay. But I also have a solid spot for Mercury, Mars, and Sir for the stars.
Okay.
Number 297.
I will always love you, Whitney Houston.
Would you say this is a low placement for this song that is considered by many to be one of the greatest of all time?
I think people will be surprised by its placement, but I do not think it is a low placement.
Because it is where it is in the list, and that means that's where it's falling in the canon so where's the surprise coming from then mama i guess people would people i think have really built this song up and let's just say
it should be built up it's on the list and when dolly parton god created god created and i think
god was really speaking through dolly when he wrote this song. Dolly was channeling the muse, a.k.a. God.
Yeah.
God is the muse.
That's actually real culture number 99.
God is the muse.
First of all.
And I think we can all agree that when Whitney Houston sang the song, it got more famous.
I would say so but i there are 296 songs that are better than this song according
to this songbook canonically we should also say this was not up to us this was not up to us no
we did not decide where things landed um i'm sorry can i ask i think you might have more
visibility into this process was Was it the committee?
Was Megan involved?
I think that there was a blue ribbon panel of Megan McCain and Abby Huntsman.
A two-person panel.
A two-person blue ribbon panel.
An even number of people.
Yeah.
In case they would just assume that there would be no ties.
Right.
That there would be in unanimous agreement
and unanimous being two people, mutual agreement
exactly, because usually what happens is Megan
sort of says we're doing this and Abby sort of says
maybe not and then Megan says
and then they do that thing
so that's sort of the way the list was
decided and we merely received the list
and with all that
in mind, just know that I Will Always Love You
does land at 297
that was an amazing
essence of megan mccain like you don't have to say you know you know what would you say my essence
like in um in a sound is no no you can't use any words i can do you first do me
because i was gonna go for you i was gonna go hmm yeah and i feel that that's so i have the more
it's more a little bit more like rougher and yours is more analytical it's more
hmm but sometimes people love the rougher and with and and with that's in that spirit yes
let's get number 296.
I'm gonna get you good
green version
Shania Twain.
This is the country version
of I'm gonna get you good.
The green version.
What makes it green?
Is there a synesthesia there?
I'm pleased that you asked.
So she has two versions
of the song
and I guess we'll see
if the other version
made it onto the list.
But this is green version.
So green version being country version. She released two versions of the song and i guess we'll see if the other version made it on yeah yeah this is green version so green version being country version she released two versions of her album up one was more country and one was more pop i guess she was sort of one of the original
crossover women absolutely green is country because of the the hills green grasses green
grasses i see yeah so you can imagine the nature of, country music is very much made in nature. Outside.
I didn't know that.
Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah.
Yes.
They record outside?
Well, yes.
So with country music, it's more about, you know, hay, barley, horses, fields, all things that happen outside.
So you have to sort of be outside in order to sing correctly
country you know what i mean i totally understand for example the song um this kiss this kiss
was performed outside uh-huh and when you sing it inside try
it's though it doesn't sound right it's the way you let me know
i wasn't enunciating i don't know what i don't know what's going on.
Well, it's because you were inside.
That's really what it was.
That's really what it was.
Let's move on.
295.
I'm gonna get you good.
Red version.
Shania Twain.
More pop.
More pop.
And red is pop.
Could happen inside.
You want to give this one a shot?
I don't know.
I'm not familiar with the song.
I don't. I'm not. You don't know i'm not familiar with the song i don't i'm not you don't know i'm gonna get you good i'm gonna get you it's a matter of fact oh yeah yeah yeah yeah well see there you
go that's perfect we're inside and that's red version to me it was really resonant there it
was resonant red you can bet your bottom dollar and dime you're gonna be
mine. Just like
I should, I'll get
you good. Oh my god.
Red version. Pokemon
found dead. Pokemon
kilt. Kilt. Red
version, green version, more like
Shania Shania. Red version
and green version, more like fuck off.
The number 294 on the list.
Cinema Italiano, Kate Hudson.
The only time I've ever felt represented on screen is Kate Hudson in the film Nine.
Person with long legs singing about an Italian movie.
Yes.
So the thing about Kate Hudson in Nine is she really wants to live in an
italian movie you know what i mean and she's she wants to go down the vietnam and you know like
and you know she's just so horned up yeah for italian cinema have you not been to italy
i have not been to italy so i guess you could say i'm just as horny as she is for
italy i think you need to
go to... I have only been to Rome.
I have not been to the nice parts of Italy.
Not that Rome isn't a nice part, but Rome feels very
touristy and
not quite as...
You don't get that
Chinima Italiano feel. No.
No, no, no. If you want to do Chinima Italiano, you gotta go to
Venice. You gotta go to Venice. You know what I mean?
You gotta go to Como. Exactly. You gotta go to Cinque Terre.
Yeah, and you know, the thing about Rome is
I'm sure the bathroom
facilities aren't updated.
It's giving Colosseum.
It's giving
the Forum.
It's giving the Forum. And I'll tell you something about Rome.
There's death everywhere.
You look around the Colosseum,
people were dying. People were dying everywhere. And look around the Coliseum, people were dead.
People were dying everywhere. And if that's what you
want to think about on your vacation,
you have to go to therapy.
You have to go to therapy for that one.
I have a good therapist for you.
Debra. Debra. Let's move on.
Alright, so this is number 293.
Thunder by
Jessie J.
One of the craziest
vocals on any song ever
recorded
It sounds like that
It sounds just like that
Talk about the reasons why
this was released in the UK
years before
it was ever released in the US
It's really shocking to know this wasn't a hit song
because it is so incredible and amazing.
And something about Jessie J is, like Nicole Scherzinger,
she's really only very famous in England,
which is really more acceptable for Jessie because she is English.
Nicole is sort of extremely American,
but somehow can only really register in the UK.
That might be changing, though, here for Nicole.
I mean, I recently saw uh nicole do an
intimate performance and she was singing like she was kate hudson what does that mean very well very
well yeah extremely well yes i love the black and white i love the play of light. The way Contini puts his image through a prism.
We're on a different song.
I know, but that's the power of some songs on the list.
It's Ginema.
But what a shame for Jessie J that she sort of got overshadowed by Kate.
Well, no, no, no.
Well, technically, in the placement, Jessie is overshadowing Kate.
But we must, I think we might have to revisit this throughout this list yeah
chini may italiana was a better song than i will always love you by whitney houston yeah absolutely
sorry and that wasn't up to us that was up that wasn't up to sort of the blue ribbon panel and
also let's just say it god created let's move on 292 state of grace scooters version taylor swift
you take this one hun you know there are those subtle differences that you notice
any time an artist re-records one of their classic songs.
And Taylor Swift is, of course, doing this in her project
to re-record her albums to own her masters.
Every now and then, you listen to a song and go,
I liked the original better.
I liked it when they didn't think
of, they didn't have to think
about, well, we might have to re-record this in the future.
Correct. And there are
multiple songs on Red, Taylor's
version, that I think
were maybe glossed over.
And State of
Grace as the opening track of that
epic album.
Genre-expansive, genre-b epic album. Genre expansive,
genre bending album,
crossover, smash hit.
It's interesting to listen to Taylor's version
of State of Grace and go,
I think I like Scooter's version.
You listen to the song and you say,
now where's the girl I knew?
Now where's the girl I knew?
Because I'm not hearing her. Because I'm not hearing her.
Because I'm not hearing her.
Let me find her.
I'm not feeling enough of the color red.
And red is pop, as we've learned from Shania Twain.
Red means pop.
Red means pop.
And there was something about, in a post-folklore Evermore world, I hope that Taylor
revisits the pop.
The truth you spoke just now,
I hope she hears it.
You know, I would say this to her face.
I really would.
I would watch. You would watch.
You like to watch. Let's move on.
Number 290.
Tie. This is a tie.
This is a tie for 290.
The tie is Sugar, we're going down fallout boy and dance dance fallout boy sort of like you know two two energies that were so
undeniable that we could not as a as Cultures community, decide which one would go above and below the other one.
So this is the only tie on the Great Global Songbook.
The Great Global Songbook, which...
Say that 10 times fast.
Say that 10 times fast.
I mean, you're, you know, it's a little bit of a spoiler.
There are no other ties in the rest of the list.
I'm comfortable spoiling it.
I'm comfortable spoiling that, too.
As a community,
and again, it wasn't up to us,
but it's up to the community,
we could not decide
which one was above or below the other.
Correct.
We do know that both are above
I Will Always Love You.
Both are above I Will Always Love You,
which is great.
Great.
And everyone did an amazing job on it.
Including Whitney.
Well, it's her version that's on the list.
I mean,
I Will Always Love You by Dolly Parton that's on the list i mean i will always love you by dolly parton's is not it's not on the list and so therefore sort of doesn't really matter
yeah so so in the end whitney still won out in a way now sugar we're going down what's the feeling
that you get when the song comes on oh my god just as soon as pete comes in, am I more than you bargained for yet?
I'm buckling in, up, down, around.
You know what I love?
When he says the word we're, he goes, sugar who?
Sugar who?
Going down swinging?
I never noticed that before.
There are layers.
There are still layers even years later to peel back.
Now, just to sort of, you know, jump over to a more sort of, you know, dance moment, dance, dance.
How do you feel when you hear this?
I go, I know, I guess I gotta follow the, anytime someone in a song tells you to dance, I command you to dance.
You must follow the order.
Oh, absolutely.
And a military floor filler.
The dance dance is a floor filler.
And, you know, it absolutely popped off the music video when they're like, dance, dance,
et cetera, et cetera.
It's one of the greatest songs.
And it's tied for 290 on the Great Global Songbook.
289.
School and Life, Beyonce.
A song that you've described
as saving your life.
I will still say that.
I still believe that's true.
What about it?
Snapped me out of my depression.
It's a song about...
Let the readers get to know you
in this moment.
Well,
the song is about
how at any age
you are in school.
And isn't that something amazing?
That's something amazing for people
who miss school for people who hate school yeah for people who never who still have stressed
dreams about school yeah even though they've been away from it for decades like me decades
i think this song is a wonderful encapsulation of life that you know you don't need who needs a degree who needs a degree and especially in a
post in a post sort of um covid landscape when student debt student loan debt is still sort of
being foisted upon multiple generations of students this really liberates you from that thinking. Beyonce said gap year.
Gap year.
With this one.
She said gap life.
Gap life.
She said, don't even go to third grade.
Girl.
She said, skip it all.
Who needs that degree when you're school alive?
You know who didn't go to school?
Didn't go point blank period?
Jesus Christ.
No.
You think Jesus went to school?
No.
No.
Jesus was helping out on the farm.
Jesus Christ was getting his hands dirty like a man should.
All right?
Let's say that right now.
Jesus Christ was getting his hands dirty like a man should.
It's rule of culture number five.
Jesus Christ was getting his hands dirty like a man should.
Getting schooled in the school of life.
And they remembered her. And they remembered
her. And they remembered her.
They never forgot her. Beyonce remembered
Jesus? I think for sure.
Say that.
And more about Destiny's Child
and members of Jesus later. Members of Jesus?

On Thanksgiving Day, 1999,
a five-year-old boy floated alone in the ocean.
He had lost his mother,
trying to reach Florida from Cuba.
He looked like a little angel. I mean, he looked so fresh. And his name, Elian Gonzalez,
will make headlines everywhere. Elian Gonzalez. Elian. Elian. Elian. Elian. Elian. Elian Gonzalez.
At the heart of the story is a young boy and the question of who he belongs with.
His father in Cuba.
Mr. Gonzalez wanted to go home and he wanted to take his son with him.
Or his relatives in Miami.
Imagine that your mother died
trying to get you to freedom.
At the heart of it all is still
this painful family separation.
Something that as a Cuban
I know all too well.

We go deep into Jelly Roll's life story
from being in and out of prison
from the age of 13
to being one of today's biggest artists.
We talk about guilt, shame, body image
and huge life transformations.
I was a desperate, delusional dreamer
and the desperate part got me in a lot of trouble.
I encourage delusional dreamers. Be a delusional dreamer. Just don't be a desperate, delusional dreamer, and the desperate part got me in a lot of trouble. I encourage delusional dreamers.
Be a delusional dreamer.
Just don't be a desperate, delusional dreamer.
I just had such an anger.
I was just so mad at life.
Everything that wasn't right was everybody's fault but mine.
I had such a victim mentality.
I took zero accountability for anything in my life.
I was the kid that if you asked what happened, I immediately started with everything but me.
It took years for me to
break that like years of work listen to on purpose with jay shetty on the iheart radio app

Number 285.
Pretty girl rock, Carrie Hilson.
Carrie Hilson has a huge career.
Has a huge career.
And you never...
For her to identify, to ID herself so quickly in a song,
my name is Carrie.
I'm so very fly.
Oh my, it's a little bit scary.
I know everything I need to know about this girl.
Yeah, it's like she's begun the song,
and we know who she is.
And that allows us to really invest in her,
which we did, and now she's got a huge career.

You already know
And immediately like
It's crazy
It's not a lot, would you agree
And I'm being serious, not a lot of songs
Are recognizable by
The first lyrics
Sometimes you gotta
Hook someone in with the chorus Sometimes like the way that you can index A hook someone in with the chorus.
Sometimes like the way
that you can index a song
is by singing the chorus
or the bridge.
The first lyrics,
you could say
Pretty Girl Rock is the same.
Absolutely.
But Don't Hate Me
Because I'm Beautiful
is maybe more
important than
My Name is Carrie.
For A Thousand Miles,
the most important lyric
of that song is
Making my way downtown
Walking fast Faces fast And I'm homebound And also, A Thousand Miles, the most important lyric of that song is, Making my way downtown, walking fast,
faces fast and I'm homebound.
And also, not even just the first
words, the first musical
notes. Yes. I don't know
better notes. I don't know a better note.
Better notes. Put together.
Put together. In terms of song.
283.
Tiny Moves, Miss Beginnings

Deep House Dish.

On a comedy level,

on a choreo level,
like,
these are my tiny moves,
these are the moves I do.
Honestly,
I'll never forget watching it.
It was the Matthew Fox episode of SNL years ago. Oh my god, and that was like
you, like that's your culture. My culture was
literally all coming up in
one. And also, never forget,
it did not make the list, but that was when
Amy Poehler played Miss Latissa Stroh

Number 282.
I'm here, Cynthia Erivo.
Talk about the importance of The Color Purple.
No, we can't.
The Color Purple was an incredibly important and influential film you know steven
spielberg directed this film in the mid-80s and not only was it a launching pad you know not only
for the careers of whoopi goldberg and oprah winfrey um but really what this did was it told
a story that needed to be told it's an al Alice Walker novel. And, you know, like, we've also seen it, you know,
brought to Broadway by Oprah Winfrey.
Amazing.
And it's a great Tony-winning success
by LaChanze and Cynthia Erivo herself.
And, you know, now Cynthia Erivo is Elphaba.
Is Elphaba.
So that's sort of,
if you can sort of see the trajectory there,
it's like you go,
and this is what everyone dreams of.
You dream of Celie.
Celie and then Elphaba.
And then Elphaba.
The Celie to Elphaba
pipeline is
the dream.
It is the dream.
For any actor.
You know that
Cynthia Erivo
has played
Celie,
Aretha Franklin
and Elphaba.
The three dolls.
And then I'm
I feel like
we're missing one.
I feel like
there's a fourth doll.
It's Celie,
Elphaba,
Aretha.
And who else did Cynthia play?
Who's the doll? Oh, my God.
Let me just see really quickly.
There's one doll that we're missing.
I just know it.
Okay.
I just know it.
Well, Harriet.
Oh, of course.
Harriet.
Iconic.
Harriet Tubman is the fourth doll.
Okay.
Let's move on.
Moving on.
And this is true. This song is better than the previous song on a roll number 281 on a roll ashley oh isn't it iconic that
miley cyrus said you know what i am gonna be another fictional so many characters live inside
miley she's like um chameleon She's a chameleon. She's like
David Bowie.
So many characters.
She's like David Bowie. You know what Miley Cyrus said?
She said, fuck you
David Bowie.
She said, fuck you Daniel Day-Lewis.
Fuck you Jared
Leto.
I'm gonna do
my way. I'm going to do my way.
And sing a Nine Inch Nails banger and make it slutty pop.
Oh, my God.
When you hear, oh, honey, I'll do anything for you.
It's like a thousand miles.
You're so right.
It is truly one of those songs that is welcome every time.
Every time.
Drug alert.
There's going to be a few songs on this list that we're going to say,
drug alert.
Sometimes you listen to a song and it feels like a drug.
And whether or not you're sober,
you can experience the high of listening to a song
like On a Roll by Ashley O.
I feel like I'm on poppers even talking about it.
Me too.
Hey, I'm on a roll.
Come on. She's basically singing
Hey, I'm a hole.
Not no.
Number 280.
My hair looks fierce.
Amanda Lepore.
Nightlife legend. Pop music superstar.
My hair looks fierce is amazing.
I'm also partial to doing it my way.
Doing it my way.
I wake up in the morning between three and four,
and I go to the bathroom between four and five.
Like, she's giving us her schedule.
I mean, what I...
She's constantly walking us through what she's doing.
Her life.
So in this song, she says,
I just show up, all done up, dance, do my thing, get paid, and I'm out.
And you know what?
That is exactly how I want my night to go.
Oh my God.
Okay, can we say that we were recently somewhere where Amanda Lepore showed up?
Yes.
And it was just like, this is her life, and she's figured it out.
100%.
She comes in, sits down.
Shows up.
Shows up, chats with a couple of people, all done up. She's out. 100%. She comes in, sits down. Shows up. Shows up, chats to a couple,
chats with a couple people.
All done up.
She's out.
She gets paid,
she's out.
I just show up,
all done up,
dance,
do my thing,
get paid,
and I'm out.
Sometimes she doesn't even dance
and that's amazing.
She needs to prove nothing.
Amanda Lepore has nothing to prove.
Oh my God.
It's Rilla Culture number two. Amanda Lepore has nothing to prove. It's Rilla Culture number
two. Amanda Lepore
has nothing to prove.
279.
Tatiana doing same parts instead
of Roxy Andrews' verse in Red You
Wrote You, RuPaul's Drag Race, All Stars
2.
There's
nothing wrong
with Roxy Andrews's no and we've all as a community i was
thinking about this today you were thinking about this today i was thinking about this today when i
was reviewing the list as a community have we have we bullied this poor person see here's the thing
about roxy andrews and we can say this a natural bully herself and but
had to do work to not be that and then wasn't and now i think it's all in good fun
but i wonder if it was okay for us as a community and i'm saying us because i feel because i've i've
taking ownership taking ownership i've partaken in this very adult of like using her trauma the bus the bus to make fun of her and i'm kind of
being i'm kind of seriously opening up this conversation all right saying you know everyone
in agreement that her verse and reggie wrote you is garbage like it's the only one i know by heart
i'm roxy anderson i'm here to make it clear i know you
want my baby that's why i got right here was the big time season five i'm gonna make it right give
me a stone challenge and i'll give you what you like um we're skipping we're skipping um um
something like uh room for monsters i forget so maybe i'm not off book so but and that's the
beauty of that's the beauty of that verse is that you think you have a total understanding of it and yet you don't and that's why i think we should maybe reconsider
i know that the the version with tatiana doing same parts is what's on the list but i think
as a community we really have to examine ourselves should we make history right now
and spit in the face of the blue ribbon panel
and say the original Red You Wrote You
is actually what's here?
Yeah.
Number 279.
Red You Wrote You,
RuPaul's Drag Race,
All Stars 2.
Addendum.
Addendum.
I never would have predicted
that we would have spit in the face
of the blue ribbon panel.
And we're going to be hearing about it,
probably on Twitter,
which we should all be leaving i know i'm not i know
number 278 and i am telling you i'm not going by both jennifer's and amber riley And Amber Riley. For multiple women to definitively approach this song,
a very difficult song to sing.
Oh, yeah.
But for the fact that multiple women
can walk up to this Goliath as David herself,
say, I'm going to fling my stone.
And it's a rangy song.
You have to be able to go all the way up there with your voice, you know, and be powerful.
And you have to go, you have to be able to say,
and make it like your own every time.
You know, no disrespect to Hudson and Amber.
Wow. But something about
Jennifer Holliday
doing that
eight shows a week
is a lot.
She had to do that
a lot more times
than the other girls.
And of course,
we never forget her
American Idol performance
of the song
where she...
I don't know what happened.
I don't know what happened.
She's a little possessed
every time she sings this.
Absolutely.
I think you have to.
There has to be a demon inside you. Well, Effie takes happened. She's a little possessed every time she sings this. Absolutely. I think you have to. There has to be a demon
inside you. Well, Effie takes over.
You're Effie.
And Effie is demonic. Effie has
had a demon put in her. The reverse
exorcism in that scene.
I think it's the moment where they say,
Effie, we all got pain. A demon entered
her. Did you see me get the chills?
A demon might have entered
you, honey. I might need
a shaman to come. I might have to blow air through a tube and they suck out you
know the demon i hate it when that happens number 277 do you want to come over britney spears
it's a song that causes joy in the hearts of i think many millions but I can pinpoint the moment when it brought us much joy
was New Year's Eve,
a couple years ago,
COVID New Year's.
COVID New Year's.
That first COVID New Year's
where we were very careful.
We obviously all got tested,
but then we got a house
and it was just a few of us.
Had a few drinks.
Absolutely.
Played some songs.
Had a good time.
But the tide shifted, honey, when Do You Want to Come Over by Britney Spears came on.
Yeah.
Do You Want to Come Over sort of will make you really move.
And it made us sort of all strut around a little pool table.
Remember that?
I remember that.
We all just ran around a pool table.
But, okay, can I say, what song did we say?
We said, Total Occupation of the Heart is catharsis.
No song does catharsis better.
No song does
coy better
than Do You Wanna Come Over. Do you wanna come over?
I love that it's like a little bit
not even a V sound, it's a B sound.
Do you wanna come over?
Do you wanna come over? Just let me know.
Like, I... Do you wanna come over?
If I could,
you know, I don't think I'm the greatest flirt
but I think if I were to remember
if I were to
you know
access
the part of me that is
I would just think of this song
yeah
yeah
activate that
I think next time you have a flirty
um
uh
instinct
just
think of yourself as Britney Spears
and do you want to come over?
should we change the
I was gonna say change the V to a B do you want to come over? Should we change the... I was going to say, change the V to a B.
Do you want to come over?
I did it.
This is freedom.
We've earned this.
This is our 300th episode.
300.
We have earned the right to do everything we do today.
Such as say that this next song is only a little bit better
than Do You Want to Come Over?
Number 276.
Natural Woman, Aretha Franklin.
Written by Carole King.
Looking out
on the morning rain
I used to feel
so uninspired.
One of the best bridges.
Oh, baby, what you done to me?
What you done to me?
You make me feel so good inside.
Good inside.
And I just don't wanna be
Close to you, you make me feel so alive
I mean, any of these songs that make us sing
I had to look back at Doug
Let's get Doug in here
Doug, come in here now
Doug, you're invited
We wanna hear your input
Is this mic on?
Okay, Doug, come in here now doug we want to hear your input is this mic on okay come in this is an
important moment because you know we've we've now gone through 25 of the songs of the top 300
and we need and which is surreal 40 come in and close the door for sound purposes
thank you do you want to use this one which which makes you want to well here there's lots of shit
on that seat that one's on over here so come on over here so i guess what i want to use this one? Which mic do you want to use? Well, there's lots of shit on that seat. That one's on over here.
So come on over here.
So I guess what I want to know is, so far, what do you think of the list?
Do you think, do you agree?
Do you even know a lot of these songs?
Do you know a lot of the songs?
Know about half of the songs that you've said.
Okay.
And they're great.
And they're great.
What kind of songs are you looking for?
Like, what do you hope makes the list?
I hope it's diverse, right?
Okay, well, I think we've done that.
I do too.
I mean, you've went from Beyonce to Fall Out Boy
to Bonnie Tyler to Aretha.
That's what I like.
That's culture.
That's culture.
That's right, 100%.
We've had nice Beatles conversations with you before.
We've had nice Katy Perry, Celine Dion conversations.
What do you think is the pinnacle of music?
Beatles?
For me?
Of pop music.
Yeah, the Beatles.
I think that changed everything.
Well, we can reveal to you right now.
There are no Beatles songs.
That's okay.
There's none.
Here's what I would say to you, Doug.
Here's what I'd throw out there.
I don't think our next artist on the list gave a fuck about the beatles when she recorded this track and i want
to know a if you even know this song or if you even know this artist because number 275 my head
and my heart ava max do you know who ava max is no i think you would do a better job of explaining. Okay, so Ava Max is sort of a pop singer-songwriter.
And one thing about her is she has one side of her hair is really long.
And one side of her hair is really short.
You've seen her?
Yes.
Yeah.
Yes.
Impressions on that.
You think it's a great look?
I think it's a great look.
Love it.
She's been doing it for years now at this point.
Yeah.
Do you think it's something she can just sustain for the rest of her career?
I doubt she'll want to.
Yeah.
I think at this point she's committed too long,
and she just has to stick with it for the rest of her life.
Yeah.
So she's going to be an old woman in the nursing home with, you know,
with one side long and one side short.
Now, Bowen, this song.
Oh, my God.
It's kind of a sampling of Around the World.
La, la, la, la, la.
But it's just one of the most powerful.
This is a drug alert song.
Drug alert.
Yeah, there's going to be lots of drugs done.
So, Doug, just to ask you a question.
What's the sort of, when you were out there going to concerts, were you into the Grateful Dead?
I've been to a bunch of Grateful Dead shows.
And you smoked reefer?
Yes.
So this is sort of the straight culture with drugs.
But I agree. I want that. Oh my God.
Josh Sharpener and Jackson just went to a Phish concert in Madison Square Garden where a man fell from the nosebleeds and lived.
And lived to tell the tale?
That is, you know, but a Phish concert, I think everyone is vibing.
Sort of fucked up.
But having a good time.
I respect it.
I would love to have gone to a Grateful Dead concert.
100%. 100%.
100%.
Doug, would you want to go to, let's say,
the Chromatica Ball, the Lady Gaga concert?
Absolutely.
I like Lady Gaga.
You think she's talented?
Well, she appears on the list many times.
She appears on the list many times.
Are you excited for her Top Gun song?
I didn't know it was coming.
She'll be doing the song from the new Top Gun film
starring Tom Cruise.
Well, that will encourage me to actually tune in.
I have a feeling. Wow. Okay, so it's
sort of trying to be the new Take My Breath Away.
I like it. Kind of cool.
Doug, what do you think has been
the cultural impact of Las Culturistas
and how has it changed your life to be a part of it?
Oh, man.
That's a lot to put
into words, but I would have to say
you've really opened me up culturally to the gay community more than I ever have, and I love it.
Well, we're happy to have done that.
What do you love and not like about the gay community?
I mean, what's not to love?
Thank you.
Thank you.
And we really want to thank you for being here to help us announce 2755 My Head and My Heart by Ava Max. Thank you so much.
Thank you so much. Doug,
to be real, we love Doug
so much. We love Doug and thank you for being
part of the fabric of Lost Couch. I mean,

This episode is one of the most honest and raw interviews I've ever had.

to being one of today's biggest artists.
We talk about guilt, shame, body image, and huge life transformations.
I was a desperate, delusional dreamer.
And the desperate part got me in a lot of trouble.
I encourage delusional dreamers.
Be a delusional dreamer.
Just don't be a desperate, delusional dreamer.
I just had such an anger.
I was just so mad at life.
Everything that wasn't right was everybody's fault but mine.
I had such a victim mentality. I took zero accountability for anything mad at life. Everything that wasn't right was everybody's fault but mine. I had such a victim mentality.

On Thanksgiving Day, 1999, a five-year-old boy floated alone in the ocean.
He had lost his mother trying to reach Florida from Cuba.
He looked like a little angel. I mean, he looked so fresh.
And his name, Elian Gonzalez, will make headlines everywhere.
Elian Gonzalez. Elian. Elian. Elian. Elian. Elian Gonzalez. At the heart of the story is a young boy and the question of who he belongs with. His father in Cuba. Mr. Gonzalez wanted to
go home and he wanted to take his son with him. Or his relatives in Miami.
Imagine that your mother died trying to get you to freedom.

To be real, though, that moment at the end where the camera is in their face and they basically have a post-coital, post-nut clarity look at each other as if we had just watched them fuck in front of hundreds of people.
Thousands of people in that Dolby Theater.

to being one of today's biggest artists.
We talk about guilt, shame, body image, and huge life transformations.

trouble. I encourage delusional dreamers. Be a delusional dreamer. Just don't be a desperate,
delusional dreamer. I just had such an anger. I was just so mad at life. Everything that wasn't
right was everybody's fault but mine. I had such a victim mentality. I took zero accountability
for anything in my life. I was the kid that if you asked what happened, I immediately started with everything
but me. It took years for me to break that, like years of work. Listen to On Purpose with Jay Shetty

Okay.
Number 246.
Fergalicious Fergie.
Definition, make the boys go loco.
This is an autobiography.
100%.
And we've said on a rule of culture that Ashley
Simpson's autobiography is the best autobiography
but this is a close second
it's number two
and even autobiography
isn't even on the list
it's different strokes
there are songs from autobiography on the list
that's for certain
but Fergalicious by Fergie
I just it's a crazy song this this was
actually a specific time in the culture when you could write a song like let's say wind it up
by gwen stefani wow or fergalicious by fergie london bridge by fergie songs that like had
nine different things going on
in them
this is a crazy fucking song
it's one of the most insane songs ever and it starts with
that like beehive
and then also
Fergalicious definition
first of all there is no definition it's not a word
and so
what she's saying is that Fergalicious
by definition make the boys go loco which doesn't make is that Fergalicious, by definition, make the boys go loco, which doesn't make sense.
Like, Fergalicious, meaning make the boys go loco?
That's not a verb.
What did you do last night, Fergalicious?
Huh?
Fergalicious?
Well, I went out in Fergalicious.
Oh.
You made the boys go loco?
Well, yeah, that's what it means, by definition.
Fergalicious definition.
It's one of those grammatical things in a song that like,
people only focus on Concrete Jungle where dreams are made of.
Oh, that doesn't make grammatical sense.
No.
Fergalicious definition make the boys go crazy.
They always claim they know me.
Come to me.
Call me Stacy.
But I'm the F to the E-R-G.
The I to the E-N.
Can no other lady put it down like me?
Think about how famous you have to be to even put this song out.
People have to know who you are.
They have to buy into the reality that we, as the listening audience,
know who Fergie is so that when she's saying all these things,
we sort of understand.
Yes.
We can see it, smell it, taste it, fuck it, snort it.
That her name is Fergie and that and also that people call her Stacy but she's the f to the e r g
the i the e and can another lady put it down like me number 245 work it missy elliott is it worth it
I say yes this was one of those songs I think I was like nine years old when this song came out
nine ten eleven but slamming your pussy to the ground like that.
My mom was driving her Toyota Sienna minivan on my way to piano lessons.
And this song would come on, 95.7 KISS FM.
And like, call before you come.

It's just like, it's like Fergalicious, the beginning,
where you're just like, your brain has no
choice. It has to, like,
Floor filler. It's like the
equivalent of a strobe light.
Yes. Musically. Like,
Ultraman, like, strobe effect

You could get a seizure from listening to this song.
You really could.
Number 242.
Get your freak on, Missy Elliott.
Now go!
Now go!
I mean, like, she fucking hawks a loogie in this song.
And we still said, I would like to listen to it again and again and again and again.
I just had a visceral response to you doing that.
Because she fucking goes for it.
She really does.
No.
Let's keep going.
Number 241.
So beautiful.
My Immortal Evanescence.
Talk about this song. This song, like, My Immortal Evanescence. Talk about this song.
This song
skyrocketed Evanescence.
They're so famous still.
And they're as big as U2.
As big as Carrie Holson.
It's Coldplay, U2,
Carrie Holson, Evanescence.
These are the big names of now.
And it started with, of course, Bring Me to Life, which did not make
the list because when they followed it up with My Immortal.
That's when you knew they were here to stay.
When you cried, I wiped away all of your tears.
When you threw your eyes, I closed all of your fears.
And I held your hand through all of these years
And you still have all of me
It's like a hymn.
Hymnal.
Number 240.
Biddy biddy bum bum, Selena.
The queen of Tejano music.
Gone too soon.

When she said,

Because I know about it.
Who?
Wonder.
Why?
How I bought all the lies.
You said that you would treat me right, but you were just a waste of time.
A waste of time!
But there was something major about JoJo being in, at least being class of 2008 in high school.
Like, she was our age.
I think she was like the first big pop star that was our age putting out hits.
I think she was, well, you're famously a little younger than me, but like, younger 91 i think she's born 91 yeah can we look it up really puts her in your sort
of purview even though you were 90 november 90 she's she's december 20th 1990 so she and so
she's our age she's 90 whoa she's not taylor she's she's she's jojo i'll never forget sitting
in information processing class in ninth grade when she really came out with leave get out and
the senior that i used to sit next to her name was jasmine and she turned to me and she said i can't
believe this girl is 13 and you're like i'm 13 and i was like i was 14 oh and and that's when we
started hooking up you hooked up with the senior no oh my god um scandal just a little bit better
than that song is number 238.
Don't Stop Believin' Journey.
I mean, an amazing song that has so many lives.

Journey, and then Family Guy brings it back.
Glee brings it back.
The Sopranos.
The Sopranos brings it back.
Oh my god.
Don't stop.
The end. Blackout.
Just...
And when the Glee kids sang this one,
you knew the Glee kids were going to be then capable of something like Blurred Lines.
Or then capable of something like Walking on Sunshine mashed up with Halo by Beyonce.
100%.
100%.
Or that, you know, Darren Criss would sing Teenage Dream
so beautifully
even though he didn't sing in the story
don't stop believing
I know what you mean don't give me that look
you
how dare you disrespect Darren Criss
I'm not disrespecting Darren Criss
Darren Criss is a gay king
he's not even gay
I guess not
hey at number 237,
this one really is famous.
Single ladies,
Beyonce.
This one really is famous.
What?
Oh,
oh.
Do you remember the dance
that she used to do
to single ladies?
I remember this dance.
Sort of one like this?
Didn't she have two people?
Yeah,
there was two girls behind her.
Yes.
And they were all doing the dance.
And I think the dance,
if we were,
we're not,
but if this was a dance list, Yes. I think it might even make the dance and i think the dance if we were we're not but if
this was a dance list yes i think it might even make the top 300 dances of the world dances of
the world it would be salsa rumba single ladies the quick step ballet freestyle uh wedding dances
father daughter um cha-cha real smooth real smooth macarena soldier boy soldier boy those Cha Cha Real Smooth. Cha Cha Real Smooth. Macarena. Soulja Boy.
Soulja Boy.
Those would be sort of the top ten.
But this is not a dance list.
This is the Great Galactic Songbook.
This is the Great Galactic Songbook.
It's sort of changing.
Okay.
So, next up, and speaking of party dances, number 236.
Macarena.
Los Del Rio.
Do you remember the dance?
I think so let's do it together
did you ever get self conscious
when you were doing the Macarena dance
about shaking your ass at the end?
no, I always committed
and you know
I would get so shy that girl who sings in between the
choruses yeah was was telling the story that people don't pay attention to yeah no they weren't like
she was flirting with a boy named nicorino in the song yeah nicorino nicorino oh yeah Oh, yeah. You can't have me.
And then, like, literally,
one of my first moments in the culture of going,
now who is she?
Yeah, right.
It was one of the first now who is she moments.
Can I just say that this is how the song goes.
Wait, that's not how it goes. That's... This is not the song goes. Wait, that's not how it goes.
That's... This is not the pop version.
That's not the pop version.
Oh, radio version.
No.
What the fuck?
Here we go.
This is my girl.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Oh, my God, Bo.
That... You're transported. Oh, my God. Oh, my God. Oh my god, Bo.
You're transported.
Oh my god.
You're absolutely shaking your ass when this comes on.
It's so surreal.
This was a simpler time.
The time was so simple.
Oh my god.
Does she start the song?
I think so.
Oh, you forget about this part. Oh!
And he's really going for it.
You can hear her grinning.
Yeah, you can.
Wow.
She is the set spot.
You hear the men sort of saying,
Macarena, Macarena.
Hey, Macarena.
Wow.
People don't realize that that's a real storytelling song.
Yeah.
That she's like the best,
the fucking star
of the show. Absolutely. Of the venue.
Number 235.
There are worse things I could do.
Stalker Channing.
You know,
it's interesting that you put
Stalker on this.
I know of one other person who's done a good
version of this. The Hudgens.
The Hudgens.
Well, stay tuned.
Stay tuned.
Let's keep going.
Stockard should have been Oscar nominated for this.
Absolutely.
Absolutely.
Number 234.
Since you've been gone, Kelly Clarkson.
This feels low.
Well.
This feels low, I'm going to say.
I'm going to speak on your behalf, and I think you agree.
I didn't make the list.
It wasn't up to me.
I know. to say i'm gonna speak on your behalf and i think you agree i didn't make the list it wasn't up to me i know but i think but you must have a response to this or an emotional response to being at 234 here's what i'll say it's on the list and so therefore it's like i can only complain so much
i would say that this is a sort of banger forever and it did sort of kickstart the conversation
about max martin okay the first big old that's not really true though because he was working
with factory Boys for years
and stuff like that.
And Britney Spears.
But anyway.
But I know what you mean.
What I want to say is that
since you've been gone,
made Max Martin, okay?
Okay.
Number 233,
a better song than since you've been gone.
The Electric Slide,
Disc Jockeys.
At block parties,
bat mitzvahs,
sweet 16s,
graduation parties,
you hear The Electric Slide.
And you're expected
to know it.
And you're expected to
sort of dance to it the same
way that like, don't they do it, don't they dance to it
in 13 going on 30? I think
they do. Thriller.
I think before Thriller at some point they do
Not on the list. Not on the list.
They do the electric slide. Maybe you're right.
No, I'm getting it wrong.
If it came on right now, could you do it well?
No.
I don't really remember it.
Do you?
I don't think the electric slide.
You go.
You go.
I guess I could sort of fake it.
You can see it.
It's electric.
Wookie, woogie, woogie.
Oh, wow.
This is one of the best songs ever.
It's on the list.
Yeah.
Okay, number 232.
Frosty the Snowman, Fiona Apple.
Our first Christmas song.
And Fiona Apple has her own amazing original songs,
but she chose to cover Frosty the Snowman.
And that was the most impactful song in her career.
I think that she knows what's going to move people.
And it's Frosty.
Yeah.
And I never thought of Frosty as being angsty.
Until now.
Well, the story is angsty.
He melts.
He goes away.
He dies.
He dies. He gets... away he dies he dies he gets
frosty dies and he
like corrals the chill he like
manipulates the children
like frosty is not frosty was a
sick pedophile and that's what
fiona is good about writing about
is good with
writing about men who
manipulate predators
predators frosty the snowman was a
fucking predator rot rot no number 231 cha-cha slide mr c cha-cha no y'all this is another one
i would get self-conscious about it's a child because they when they say cha-cha you sort of
have to like shake your little ass i guess i just wasn't in my body as much as you were as a
child oh i i mean you didn't do the thing like you know uh a middle school dance where you're
grinding i mean that we we were dancing in the age of the grind we definitely came of age in the time
of grind yeah um but i wasn't grinding to cha-cha real smooth no i'm saying like you weren't
comfortable in your body while like cha-cha slideCha Slide would play, like, after Yeah by Usher.
Yeah.
Not in the left.
Remember Get Low by Lil Jon?
Oh, my God.
To the windows!
To the, wow!
To the sweat drop down my balls.
Men are so disgusting.
Disgusting.
Lil Jon, Frosty.
It's insane.
Let's move away from men.
Number 230.
It's Raining Men.
The Weather Girls.
I guess we couldn't escape.
I guess we couldn't escape them.
This is a song that is really beautiful.
I mean, could you imagine it's Raining Men?
Well, first of all, practically, this would be really scary.
It would be really scary
think about the men what are they thinking oh my god i'm falling down um you know what this
is iconically like sort of like disposable men you know what i mean like it's raining men like
whatever who cares but you know what i love about this song when it starts and she goes hi and the other one goes hi we your weather girl
and have we
got news for you
better listen
just the levels there
you could tell it was different people
and also the choice to do
to say these lines like this
get ready all you lonely girls
and leave those umbrellas at home it just keeps getting
higher and bigger and higher to build they and they started at a 10 uh-huh hi hi what do you
think they end up what number do you think they end up at 50 absolutely way off the charts
number 229 where are you christmas tay Taylor Momsen, and Faith Hill.
We have the film version and the sort of pop radio version.
Both equally valid.
It would be a tie if it weren't for the fact that they were basically the same song.
Right.
Now, what do you think this question is asking?
She can't find Christmas.
And she's asked, it's like very Judy Blume.
It's like, are you there god where are you christmas
yeah it's really a song about maturation i think it's not just fear about losing christmas it's i
think a fear of what am i going to become as i get older as i'm exposed to more truths as i move
forward in my life me cindy loo who what's going to become of me as i step forward into adulthood if christmas changes does that
mean i'm going to change as well and what will i become as i become an adult this song is deeper
than it's being given credit for and it was written by mariah carey there is no song quite
like this in the christmas canon no and it made the list and it made the list number 228 torn natalie embrulia i mean
this bitch wore a fucking zip-up hoodie a sweater whatever the hell
and she made it into a moment she gave she gave when she was like when she goes
and it goes and she's like spins around that iconic thing you know years ago i tried to write a sketch
which was like i don't know what it was but i think it was just people hanging out and the
song would come on and like people would just go do the dance i think no one got it and it did not
make it into the show that's okay but you can use it for snl if you want i'll use it for snl i'll
try to find it thought i saw a man brought to life. He was warm.
He came around.
And he was dignified.
He told me what it was to cry.
But you couldn't be that man I adored.
You don't seem to know, seem to care what your heart is for.
Well, I don't know him anymore.
There's nothing where he used to lie
Inspiration has gone dry
That's what's going on
Nothing's right, I'm torn
I'm all out of faith
This is how I feel
I'm cold and I am shamed
Lying naked on the floor
Illusion never changed
Into something real.
I'm wide awake and I can see
the perfect sky is torn.
You're a little late.
I'm already torn.
Torn.
Amazing.
It's so good.
It's amazing.
Oh my God.
And the lyrics are like low key.
Amazing.
Like you're thinking about it.
Illusion never changed into something real.
I'm wide awake and I can see the perfect sky is torn.
What the fuck?
I remember just being scandalized by lying naked on the floor.
I was like,
naked?
Lying naked on the floor.
Yeah.
How many times have you been lying?
How many times in your life have you lied naked on the floor?
Not that many.
No, I don't really lie naked on the floor.
I lie naked in the bed.
I lie naked in the couch.
Yeah, all the time.
I walk around naked often.
But on the floor, you are at your lowest.
No, the floor is filthy.
But you had to get naked before you ended up on the floor you can't get lower
than the floor the real housewives of salt lake city are back i love that oh my gosh welcome
and last season's drama was just the tip of the iceberg you're're recording us? I am disgusted!

We were friends!
How could you do this to me?
I don't trust her.

And on our new podcast, we're talking about the real obstacles women face day to day.
See, athlete or not, we all know it takes a lot as women to be at the top of our game.
We want to share those stories about balancing work and relationships, motherhood, career shifts.
You know, just all the s*** we go through.
Because no matter who you are, there are levels to what we experience as women.
And T and I, well, we have no problem going there.

On Thanksgiving Day, 1999, a five-year-old boy floated alone in the ocean.
He had lost his mother trying to reach Florida from Cuba.
He looked like a little angel. I mean, he looked so fresh.
And his name, Elian Gonzalez, will make headlines everywhere.
Elian Gonzalez.
Elian Gonzalez.
Elian. Elian. Elian Gonzalez. Elian. Elian. Elian.
Elian.
Elian.
Elian Gonzalez.
At the heart of the story is a young boy and the question of who he belongs with.
His father in Cuba.
Mr. Gonzalez wanted to go home and he wanted to take his son with him.
Or his relatives in Miami.
Imagine that your mother died trying to get you to freedom.
At the heart of it all is still
this painful family separation.
Something that as a Cuban,
I know all too well.

Hey, I'm Jay Shetty and I'm the host of On Purpose.
My latest episode is with Jelly Roll.
This episode is one of the most honest and raw interviews I've ever had.
We go deep into Jelly Roll's life story from being in and out of prison from the age of 13
to being one of today's biggest artists.
We talk about guilt, shame, body image,
and huge life transformations. I was a desperate delusional dreamer and the desperate part got me
in a lot of trouble. I encourage delusional dreamers. Be a delusional dreamer. Just don't
be a desperate delusional dreamer. I just had such an anger. I was just so mad at life. Everything
that wasn't right was everybody's fault but mine. I had such a victim mentality. I took zero accountability for anything in my life. I was the kid that if you asked what happened, I immediately
started with everything but me. It took years for me to break that, like years of work.
Listen to On Purpose with Jay Shetty on the iHeartRadio app,
Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. Trust me, you won't want to miss this one.

Mm-hmm.
Number 226.
Creep, TLC. Famously,
Katrina Rogers' famous
favorite song.
Of all time?
There was a time when she would call this her favorite song,
which is so funny to me, knowing her and knowing what this is about.
So I creep, yeah, just keep it on the down low.
It's about cheating.
Katrina loves it.
It's like my dad re and loving belief I share.
Maybe on the list.
We'll see.
Stay tuned.
Anyway, that one was for you, Katrina.
225.
Living la vida loca, Ricky Martin.
Gay rights.
Gay rights.
This is a song about a gay man worshiping a woman.
Yeah.
She's in the superstition.
Also, just sing it like that.
Black cats and voodoo dolls.
It's like almost not singing.
It's sort of like...
It's Bob Dylan.
Yeah.
Ricky Martin.
This is...
Live and Live Eat a Loca
is a Bob Dylan song
and that's a rule of culture.
That's rule of culture
number 24.
Live and Live Eat a Loca
is a Bob Dylan song.
That cat's gonna make me fall. That cat's gonna make me fall.
That girl's gonna make me fall.
I think Bob Dylan
should consider covering this song
before he perishes.
Fucking croaks.
Croaks.
Hey, let's do the next one.
Number 224.
Intuition Jewel.
Kid Moss can't find a job
from 03-04
her sort of
pop
horror moment
and unfortunately Jewel
has sort of
politically been troublesome
lately
has she?
she's very
she loves
she loves
one
Joe Rogan?
yeah
we'll cut that out
she loves Joe Rogan she's from Alaska girl cut that out. She loves Joe Rogan.
She loves Joe Rogan.
She's from Alaska, girl.
I don't know what that means.
They're very conservative.
Very conservative.
We're going to cut that.
Okay, Intuition.
For your heart, your intuition.
What is that?
Leaning you in the right direction.
What a weird singer.
Crazy singer.
But we love her.
And she appears on the list numerous more times.
Numerous times.
Jewel.
Number 223.
Cotton Eye Joe, Rednecks, the band, not necessarily the people.
I'm sure Rednecks like the song Cotton Eye Joe.
I used to love this song
remember this song
there was a time when Cotton Eye Joe
and like the fucking hamster song
Cotton Eye Joe was always
my favorite song at like one of
these types of events where these songs
would play
and do you know Cotton Eye Joe?
do you know the dance?
I don't know the dance
Matt's taking off the headphones And do you know Cotton Eye Joe? Do you know the dance? I don't know the dance. Would you like to see it? Yes.
Okay, Matt, it's taking off the headphones.
It goes like this.
Matt, I've been for Cotton Eye Joe.
I've been married a long time ago.
Where did it come from?
Where did it go?
Where did it come from?
Cotton Eye Joe.
Oh!
So it's like, honestly, in my bones, like, in my body forever.
Yeah.
But you saw, in watching me do the dance, you thought it was fun, right?
It looked so fun.
I was square dancing with the guys and girls.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
I love it.
And it really gets everyone onto the floor.
And also, it's like, it's better than the electric slide in Macarena because when you get it right, it feels like you actually challenge yourself via V-Dance.
This is the thing, though, and this is part of why Macarenaita and Cha-Cha Slide, or the Electric Slide, took off.
It's because they're slow.
Right.
It's boom, boom, boom, boom.
Cotton Eye Joe is...
It's just that, like, the BPM is a little bit more engaging.
A hundred percent.
It gets your heart rate up.
It actually predated berries
Cotton Eye Joe was the original berries
And that's our little culture number 144
Cotton Eye Joe was the original berries
Just even doing Cotton Eye Joe
You get the same workout that you would at berries
You just burned a thousand calories
Shout out to Ian
Shout out to Ian McAndrew
Okay number 222
Talk about another fast-paced song.
Be My Lover, La Bouche.
We did a performance of this
when we hosted our show, The List,
at the Public Hotel.
That was a great performance.
I wish we still had it.
I know.
Where did it go?
I don't know.
We never filmed anything we did.
I know.
Except Pop Roulette.
Except Pop Roulette.
But this song, I mean, like,
and just a great, like, quintessential,
like, this and, like, Show Me Love by Robin S.,
like, might be on the list.
The quintessential, like, pop, huge
pop house,
90s house moments.
Brought it into the mainstream. And this song,
just, like, the
vocal. The vocal.
Hook it back on all the times
we spent together. You wanna know
by now if you wanna be my lover
wanna be my lover.
No matter
that or now, boy, you gotta
feel secure.
You know, what I love about this vocal
is it's full-throated. Yes.
They said, hey girl, you don't have to do all
that. And she said, you don't know
what I have to do. You don't know what I have to do. I'm
La Bouche. La Bouche.
The mouth. The mouth. Is that what that

and I want to say
thank you for wearing
the Las Colas
just for my boys today
I mean
and every day
but I was going
to get my little sweatshirt on to go to the gym,
and I said, it has to be a less cultured dress.
Oh, my God.
So are you stopping here on your way to the gym?
I'm stopping here on my way to the gym.
So you're sort of endorphins before the endorphins.
Exactly.
Oh, my God.
We're so thrilled to see you.
A shocking honor to be on the 300th episode.
I mean, your family.
Oh, your family.
And you need a mimosa.
You need a mimosa. You can't possibly because
you're... I can't possibly because I'm going to go and
bust my ass on the stairmaster.
Because tonight, I do believe and
hope that we are all eating fajitas. Yes.
We're having a little birthday dinner
moment. And happy belated, Mama.
Happy belated to me.
Now, listen, I'm really excited
that you are going to be here for this next one.
Okay.
Because Bowen, by the way, I'm cutting this out, I see that 220 is also Frosty the Snowman.
Oh shit.
Okay.
So what do you want to replace that with?
It's going to be iconic because we're going to have gratitude.
What is the song that should be on the top 300 that should be here?
Throw it out. It should be Natalie Imbruglia. Lying naked on the top 300 that should be here? Throw it out.
It should be Natalie Imbruglia.
Lying naked on the floor.
We just did it.
You know what else?
It should be Liquid Dream.
Liquid Dream.
Liquid Dream by O-Town.
Liquid Dream by O-Town.
Okay, perfect.
All right, but that's not yet.
Number 221 is Push It by Salt-N-Pepa.
Iconic song. Now Push It by Salt-N-Pepa. Iconic song, now push it, et cetera.
Ooh, baby, baby.
Ooh, baby, baby.
Get up on this.
Probably the most, like, performed song in cinema, one might say.
Yes, yes.
Very, not only do we get the song, we also get dance.
Dance. And the thing is, this song,
let's just put it out there on the table.
It makes you want to fuck and get
down and have sex.

In a movie, friends.
Push it in a movie.
Something Borrowed?
Something Borrowed.
It's Something Borrowed.
Wow.
And for the film Something Borrowed to take real estate on our top 300 is absolutely perfect.
Perfect.
Something Borrowed, one of those movies that had a good trailer and then was not good. Now, 220, we had a repeat of a prior song,
so we did ask Greta to give us her contribution to this list.
And I'm thrilled.
I'm thrilled.
It's the perfect answer.
Number 220 is Liquid Dream, O-Town.
Yes.
Ashley Parker Angel, everyone.
Yeah.
Remember him?
They were all really attractive.
Yeah.
They were all really attractive.
And not only did
they offer liquid dream but also is it all or nothing at all let's talk about the lyrics of
liquid dream yes them painting the perfect woman she's got a body like jennifer right yeah i do
about a girl who's a mix of Destiny's Child.
There we go.
With a little touch
of Madonna's wild style.
Wild style.
With Janet Jackson's eyes.
Throw in a body
like Jennifer.
Yeah.
You got the star
of my liquid dream.
Yes.
Which is about coming.
Yes.
And like,
I knew that at the time.
Also the line,
she's a morph,
a morphorotic dream
from a magazine.
Now this hot girl
she's not your average girl. She's a
morphorotic dream from a magazine.
And she's
so fine. Designed to blow
your mind. She's a dominatrix
supermodel beauty queen.
She's a dominatrix
supermodel beauty queen. I did not know what the word dominatrix meant.
Angelina Jolie's lips to kiss in the dark underneath Cindy C's beauty mark when it comes to the test.
She's Tyra's the best.
And Selma Hayek brings the rest.
These men are gay.
These are gay men.
These are gay men.
Basically, Liquid Dreams has them standing. And they're gay men. Liquid Dream says them standing.
And they're talking. The Liquid Dream
is them having a martini with them.
I better be hearing Liquid Dream
blasted in the clubs this prize.
Honey!
You will appreciate this. Both of you will.
It's just unlocked a memory
for me. The first time I went to Universal Studios
Hollywood.
The first time I was in la don't tell
me they were playing it well no that album had just come out and that album that my sister bought
was in my disc man that entire time we were in los anderson i just we played i played that album
start to finish over and over and over again was otown a Pearlman creation? No, they were making the band.
We watched them come together.
Yeah, we did. We really did.
And they really were a group of horny looking guys. I wonder how much
of them were gay. It was four, right?
Four. I think it was four of them.
Ashley Parker Angel, is he...
Well, he just looks gay.
Am I making this up, but was Ashley Parker Angel
in a relationship with Ashley Simpson?
Oh my god. At one point in time?
Spiritually, that feels right, but
of course, Ashley Simpson iconically dated
Ryan Cabrera. For sure. Who's not on the list.
Ashley,
wait, oh my god, they had once,
wait, okay, Ashley
had a son named Lyric Lennon,
born August 2005,
and Lyric is an actor and appeared in
American Horror Story Hotel.
Well, you know how he came to be?
Because Ashley Parker Angel
had a liquid reality into a woman.
Oh my god.
He basically probably was thinking of
Into a dominatrix supermodel beauty queen.
Dominatrix supermodel beauty queen got him all excited.
Underneath Cindy C's beauty mark.
And Salma Hayek brought the rest.
Yep.
What does that mean?
I would just like to say
that Lou Pearlman did manage them.
Oh, he did?
Iconic.
So he probably was like,
you guys should sing about
how you want to come.
And they were like,
okay, Lou.
Dark.
So number 219.
I Love You Always Forever
by Donna Lewis.
Yes.
This is that song you hear in the doctor's office.
It's that song you hear on FM radio in the car when you're driving around as a kid.
But it always gets you.
Always.
Say you'll love me forever.

I was going to say, but it's not quite that.
It's like poolside in the spring, but maybe
not that. But fall and spring speak to each other
because they're not hot or too cold.
You know what I mean? Absolutely.
They're mirrors. 218.
It's like that mirror. Not on the list.
No, definitely not. No, JT is on the list.
Number 218. Hold on
Wilson Phillips.
Sort of living in the same time period.

it coming back in a big way
after Bridesmaids.
Yeah, I was gonna say Bridesmaids.
Gorgeous song.
When you hold on
for one more day.
I mean,
really, really, really just
and you know what I love
about this song is they're saying
I know this pain.
Why do you lock yourself up in these chains?
No one can live your life except for you.
Don't ever let nobody step all over you.
Open your heart and you'll find.
Open your heart and your mind.
Is it really fair to feel this way inside
someday somebody's gonna make you want to turn around and say goodbye
till then baby are you gonna let him hold it down and make you cry this is girl by destiny's child
spiritual successor successor this is white girl white girl this is white. It's actually Roller Culture number 40. Hold On by Wilson Phillips
is White Girl by Destiny's Child.

basketball analyst, a wife, and I'm also a woman.
And on our new podcast,
we're talking about the real obstacles
women face day to day.
See, athlete or not, we all know it takes a lot as women
to be at the top of our game.
We wanna share those stories about balancing work and relationships,
motherhood, career shifts, you know, just all the s*** we go through.
Because no matter who you are, there are levels to what we experience as women.
And T and I, well, we have no problem going there.

and raw interviews I've ever had.
We go deep into Jelly Roll's life story
from being in and out of prison from the age of 13
to being one of today's biggest artists.
We talk about guilt, shame, body image
and huge life transformations.
I was a desperate delusional dreamer
and the desperate part got me in a lot of trouble. I encourage delusional dreamers. Be a delusional dreamer. Just don't be a desperate
delusional dreamer. I just had such an anger. I was just so mad at life. Everything that wasn't
right was everybody's fault but mine. I had such a victim mentality. I took zero accountability
for anything in my life. I was the kid that if you asked what happened, I immediately started
with everything but me.
It took years for me to break that, like years of work.

On Thanksgiving Day, 1999,
a five-year-old boy floated alone in the ocean.
He had lost his mother trying to reach Florida from Cuba.

And his name, Elian Gonzalez, will make headlines everywhere.
Elian Gonzalez.
Elian.
Elian.
Elian.
Elian.
Elian.
Elian Gonzalez.
At the heart of the story is a young boy and the question of who he belongs with.
His father in Cuba.
Mr. Gonzales wanted to go home and he wanted to take his son with him.
Or his relatives in Miami.
Imagine that your mother died trying to get you to freedom.
At the heart of it all is still this painful family separation.
