I'm Mike from torontomike.com, and joining me are two geeks that groove, Stu Stone and Cam Gordon. Hello, gentlemen. Good to see you all. Good morning, good morning. And of course, that description of us is still a working title.

Should we upgrade Ian's service to the intro? Like, should I be saying... You're the one that's making this uncomfortable. I mean, you have the power to introduce him at any point. It's not us. And back by popular demand, the man with the big brains and the big calves, Ian.

Service. Hello there. I'm trying to think what the... Who would be the equivalent of Ian in, like, Eric. I'm trying to think who would be the equivalent of Ian in classic CFNY. Is this Shwarma? Is this sort of Bobby? All those people like Martin Streak would shout out DJ.

DJ Jenga is probably a bit too essential. I'm trying to remember. What do you think, Mike? Ian's the Ivor Hamilton of the program. I went way back for that. I know you're a kid. Sure, why not? To me, he's more of a, to put it in sports terms,

he's more of a Galen Sisko. It's like an effective guy that gets a ring. Hey, can we spend a moment? Yeah, can we? An effective guy. Can we spend a moment maybe talking about Damaso Garcia right off the top? Because I know I've got a few years on all three of you guys. Don't stop.

A few years. Not too many years, but a few years. But do you guys have fond memories of second baseman number seven, Damaso Garcia? I know for me, I actually wasn't following the Jays at that point. I feel like I came in around 1988, so Damaso had already come and gone. I was certainly familiar with the legacy and had seen some VHS cassettes of his play and was certainly a big deal at the time. He's really one of those guys who was awesome

and then really fell off the side of a cliff once he left Toronto. I think he went to Atlanta, did he not? I believe. Where did he go? Was he a Yankee? Yeah, he played for the Expos as well. I actually have fond memories of Mr. Garcia,

number seven, Domiso Garcia. Because, you know, I'm from a very baseball, sports-centric kind of family, and going to the Jays games is a big part of it. And Garcia played second base harder than anybody, turned two with Alfredo Griffin more than he did with Tony Fernandez. But I'll say that two things that I remember specifically about Garcia. Number one, I remember him burning his uniform after losing the 85. Was it the 85 ALCS?

No, no, no. It was during the 86 season. During the 86 season, he burned his uniform after a game. And sort of that was his swan song in Toronto. And he's also one of the rare guys that played for the Blue Jays and the Expos, if I'm not mistaken. Yeah, not too many of those guys. Not too many. Al Oliver, I think, is in that club.

Yeah, Rob Doocy. Of course, hitting and playing so hard, giving it 110%, cocaine-fueled likely at second base. I would say that him leaving paved the door for generational second basemen that came after him. Nelson Lariano. Nelson Lariano and Manny Lee. Sure. Tom Wallace. Jeff Kent. Orlando Hudson.

Carlos Garcia. All the greats. Joe Lawrence. Danny Ainge. Darwin Barney. Aaron Hill. The great Aaron Hill. Yeah, the great Aaron Hill Joe Lawrence. Danny Ainge. Are you sure? Darwin Barney. Yeah. Aaron Hill. The great Aaron Hill. Yeah, the great Aaron Hill.

Former All-Star. So, Damaso Garcia was traded after the 1986 season with, here's another name from the past, Luis Leal. Oh, Luis Leal. Reliever. Yeah. Traded to the Atlanta Braves for Craig McMurtry. Oh, Craig McMurtry. Yes, of course. He had some baseball cards. 86 Donruss for Craig McMurtry. Oh, Craig McMurtry. Yes, of course.

He had some baseball cards. 86 Donruss, Craig McMurtry. Yeah. Actually, it's interesting. There's a slew of Blue Jays Braves trades. Dwayne Ward. Yeah, Dwayne Ward. Jim Acker.

Fred Doyle, Alexander. Ernie Witt getting traded. Was it? The Braves. Yeah. No, wait. Ernie Witt. Okay, because Jim Acker, wasn't he part of a trade? Yeah, Jim Acker. Yeah. Another one. Jimmy Acker? Yeah. No, wait. Ernie Witt? Okay, because Jim Acker. Wasn't he part of a trade?

Yeah, Jim Acker. Jimmy Acker. Yeah, and I think this is the Bobby Cox pipeline. That Atlanta- Bobby Cox as well. Yeah. Yeah, that's right. After the 85 season.

That's right. Manager. Great manager. So I just had a chat with Mark Hebbshire from Sportsline about Damaso because Hebbsy covered him at that team. He says that's the worst. He believes Damaso Garcia was the all-time worst leadoff hitter in Major League history.

A player to play a whole season as a leadoff batter, he thinks that Damaso might be the worst leadoff batter ever. Just in general. His inability to get on base and take walks. It was a different game back then. Wait, just one fun fact about Bobby Cox,

just so I can get a fun fact out of the way right off the bat, just so I can claim it. You know what? It is my thing. I made that up. Bobby Cox, also a rare bird in the sense that he managed the Blue Jays and lost in the playoffs. And then a few years later played against the Blue Jays in the playoffs and

lost. Yeah. 1992. That's a, is that a fun fact? I don't know. That's a week. I was going to say,

that's just a fact. I, I don't find that particularly fun, but it's fun because the Jays win in the end. Oh, I know. Well, wait a minute. This was past 88, so you must have been following at that point. Okay, you can fuck off right now is what you can do.

But semi-related, I don't know if you guys saw this, TSN has been running a series of articles in their sort of COVID content farm. Best and worst players in Blue Jays history. And they're doing it by top five outfielders, top five pitchers. And they did one about infielders. I thought this was sort of mean almost. One of the top five worst infielders in Blue Jays history up there with Joe Lawrence and Carlos Garcia and Canadian Dave McKay.

They actually put Alfredo Griffin as one of the worst blue Jays infielders of all time. Did he win rookie of the year? Yeah, he co-won in 79. He co-won rookie of the year. But actually, in that conversation this morning with Hebsey about how terrible Damaso was as a leadoff batter, apparently one season Alfredo played leadoff, and Hebsey had equally unkind things to

say about him and said he was terrible too. Like, like we were so desperate for a star cause we had such a terrible team that we kind of elevated Alfredo Griffin to a status he was unworthy of due to his co-winning that rookie of the year award. I don't know about that. Alfredo Griffin is a, he won a ring with the Jays.

Yeah. He was on deck when Joe Carter hit the homer in 93. I don't think they would have brought him back if he wasn't a good locker room guy and a guy who you can plug into the lineup anywhere in any position and sort of know that he's got you covered. And he, of course, left town with arguably one of the greatest leadoff hitters in Blue Jay history,

the great Dave Collins, a speedster, traded to the Oakland Athletics for one of the greatest leadoff hitters in Blue Jay history, the great Dave Collins, speedster traded to the Oakland athletics for one of Stute Stone's all time favorite hurlers, the great Bill Cottle. I like Bill Cottle. Yeah. Bill Cottle kind of looks like Cam Gordon. A little bit. Yeah.

Well, okay. Interestingly enough though, you know, Alfredo Griffin, great guy. And I think Damaso Garcia would be pretty happy if he knew that we used most of his tribute time to talk about Alfredo Griffin.

Absolutely. I want to say something about Dave Collins real quick. Because, Stu, you look a bit like Dave Collins. Dave Collins still owns the Blue Jays' single season record for stolen bases. That's like 60 or something. Yeah, it's 60 on the nose. And that, my friends, is a fun fact. Now, did you guys... I noticed when I was doing... that's like 60 or something yeah it's 60 on the nose and that

my friends is a fun fact now did you guys I noticed when I was doing if Anthony Alford could ever turn into something if Dalton Plumpley blah blah blah Otis Nixon you know blah blah Morgan get on this side please this is Daddy's talking to his

friends right now is Otis Nixon still with us he is but he got kidnapped a few years ago but he's good now his friends right now. Is Otis Nixon still with us? He is, but he got kidnapped a few years ago, but he's good now. That's right, yeah. God, what an arc for Otis. You guys talk for a second. I'm going to mute myself for two seconds.

Hold on. Okay, just talking about Otis Nixon. He is a guy who is on the... If we were ever to, you know, in between kicking jams, ever do other sorts of lists, he'd be a list of people that lied about their age. Actually, he's another Blue Jay Expo.

Yeah. Otis Nixon. All I know is... He had to be in his 40s when he was saying he was in his 30s. But he was a terror to play against because he would just kind of chop the ball. He'd never hit the ball in the air. But man, once he got on base, he would wre kind of chop the ball. He never hit the ball in the air, but man, once he got on base, he would wreak

havoc on the base pass like few others. Is this Otis Nixon? Yeah. Didn't he look like he was 56 years old when he was playing? I just said that while you were on mute. I said that if we were to do one week alongside kicking out jams, maybe if we had other

lists, he would be like on top of a list of people who lie about their age. Hilarious. Now, I think when I started my intro to this episode, and we have to get into the whole OLP thing in a moment here, but when I started the intro, I think I had the Bluetooth channel muted. I think. No, I heard the tail end of it. Did you? Okay, so you didn't hear the opening, right? The cold open? So I'm going to play it now again, because now I realize you probably didn't hear it. Did you? Okay, so you didn't hear the opening, right? The cold open? So I'm going to play it now again,

because now I realize you probably didn't hear it. So I played this off the very top of this episode. Ladies and gentlemen, the winner of this contest and new Intercontinental Champion, Ricky the Dragon Steamboat! What a set of pipes on that man. Another man we lost this week. The legend, Howard Finkel.

The voice of a generation. I love Howard Finkel. I think any of us who played wrestling of any kind, we were doing his voice when we announced the wrestlers coming to our... When we were playing with our wrestling figures or wrestling with our buddies in the

basement, he was the voice. Absolutely. But I don't remember knowing his name at the time. I remember the voice, of course. I watched a lot of wrestling in the mid-80s there. But I don't remember knowing his name at the time. I remember the voice, of course. I watched a lot of wrestling in the mid-'80s there. But I don't remember knowing his name. I definitely did, and I'm sure Cam did.

But he was also the first employee of WWE, a fact that everybody seems to know now in his passing. Sorry, he was the first employee? The first ever employee they ever hired. When Vince Jr. bought the company from his dad, his first hire was Howard Finkel. sorry, he was the first employee ever employee they ever hired was, was like when Vince jr. Bought the company from his dad, his first hire was Howard Finkel. Wow. That's a fun fact.

And Finkel, I had an, I had met him a few times. Just like he is or was, I should say, like the, he could have been the jeopardy champion of wrestling. Like, you know, everything about every match, where it was, what the show was, what the game, like he knew everything. The world lost, well, that industry lost someone who loved it even more than the industry loved him. And Stu, was he still active at all?

Or would they trot him out every once in a while? He was not active for a while. The last time he did any kind of thing would have been in the last 10 years he had he had done some stuff but in the last few years his health was sort of in decline and um yeah listen man howard finkel the voice of uh and new is like And new! It's like... Speaking of great feuds of the squared circle, Stu Stone and Jeremy

Taggart, I mean, one week ago, you know, I don't even know if these two gentlemen knew each other, and now they're like arch rivals. Give us all the details. This was sort of like my entertainment this past week where we'd get my bowl of popcorn and I would open up Twitter and I would check in on the, uh, the back and forth. And we were all kind of involved. Like we were all tagged on it.

This is like a dense, like, uh, you know, this is like a, a multi-part, a, this is almost like the wire, you know, everything connects somehow why why do i start off what we're talking about and stew i'll let you take it away in a second but um for those of you who listened last week you may recall our great debate about the salt and pepper song what a man whether that actually qualified as a cover or a sample, it sampled a song called What a Man by, I think, Donna or Linda Lindell. Donna Lindell is someone I know at Centennial College. A great professor over there of communications. So we had a little debate.

I did a Twitter poll. Just put it to the Twitter universe and the FOTM universe. In your opinion, is this song, Mike, I know your wife, Monica, even chimed in. She thought it was a sample. Stu contended it was a sample. I said it was a cover, but I was open to opinion. He's softening his stance.

We did a poll on that part, but let's continue. Let's continue. So we did a poll. 16 people voted, and it was about 70% said it was a sample. You know, I'll take the opinions. Meanwhile, in the thread, Jeremy Taggart, formerly of Our Lady Peace, now of the Taggart and Torrance podcast, chimed in. And Stu, why don't you tell us what happened next between you and Jeremy Taggart? Well, you know, he started really aggressively pushing the agenda that it is a cover song.

And, you know, listen, I'll tell you what. It was bad timing on his part to chime in because it's very rare for me to be right about something in a dispute with Cam. When Cam and I argue about something, in the end, eight out of ten times, he's probably the one who's right. You know, the loudest in the room isn't the one who's right, you know?

So this is a guy who is the loudest in the room, I believe. I never met him. But he encountered somebody else who's louder, you know, and here we are. I'm not going to let anybody, not even the great drummer from Our Lady Peace, I'm not going to let anybody pry a victory over Cam out of my hands.

So it really, it irked me when all the data was pointing in my direction. Okay. He did a poll. The poll was in my direction. Your wife, your wife had my back and agreed. Okay. On Vogue tweeted to cam i know swooped in there the fucking legends don't bury the lead here wait let me get this straight the verified twitter account for on vogue made a ruling on this because they i guess i guess cam wisely tagged them he knows a lot about twitter apparently I guess Cam wisely tagged them. He knows a lot about Twitter, apparently.

He tags them wisely. They see this. They chime in to say, it is a sample, not a cover. That is amazing. And they quote tweeted this tweet that has, at Toronto Mike, at Stu Stone, at Monica. I'm trying to think what Monica's email is.

Miss Monica Rina. So essentially, a tweet we're all mentioned in was retweeted by En Vogue. We're all fucking stuck at home during this pandemic. This is probably the greatest thing that happened last week, possibly all month. And this was

an awesome piece of entertainment, I must say, all of it. The theater of it. And I do like this Stu, I think this debate with you and Mr. Taggart is still raging to this day and DMs everywhere. Oh, yeah. Here's the other thing. Okay, so En Vogue slides in, bottom of the ninth, and they slide right in and it's like Alfredo Griffin.

They get a chance to come up to bat and they smash it out of the park. You know, in an alternate universe where Joe Carter doesn't hit the home run, En Vogue's on deck. Remember the call of Kawhi. Is this the hammer? That quote tweet was the fucking hammer. It was the hammer. And so after En Vogue chimes in saying the song is a sample, he doubles down on that they're wrong and starts talking about how people are getting paid.

Yeah, yeah, yeah. Nothing to do with the argument. Then, in a direct message, Mike tries to play peace with everybody and puts us all in a DM and is like playfully like, hey guys, that was a lot of fun. And he starts fighting with me in there too. I don't even

think that was me who did that. No, I started that because I was just like emoji of like the shocked face that i was just referring to like on vogue retweeting all us schmucks uh the great on vogue uh well the great jeremy taggart my i had a uh part of the reason i started running i ran out of popcorn it was all very entertaining but taggart was stuck on money like oh you pay you pay the same for a sample as you do to cover.

Like he was obsessed with lawyers and money, which might speak to his experiences, maybe leaving the band or something to that effect. But there was an obsession there with that, which I felt had nothing to do with the premise of our discussion, which was like, is that a cover song or is it a sample? And if I may introduce a third option, which struck

me while I watched you guys go back and forth, I realize now it might not be a sample or a cover. It might actually be a remix. Well, I kind of like as a joke like threw into the mix Shaggy and some dude whose name I'm forgetting, Shaggy and whoever

covering Angel of the Morning and we did discuss Angel of the Morning last week on this podcast, sampling the fucking Steve Miller band, which is really kind of fucked up. On that cover, I was trying to lighten the mood, and like a dog on a bone, Tiger, at this point, doubled down. It's all good fun. mean like it's it's great to have these interactions but is there was a lot going on on that thread stew how are things now with you and tagger are you guys okay of all the people who were wrong about what a man being

a cover he is the most wrong. Even more so than Cam with the original. He has crushed the glass ceiling of Cam being wrong, and he is the most wrong. I'd say it's not a matter of him right or wrong. It was just like it was a different discussion. I don't think he's really

chiming in. His point, I think it is true. In the eyes of a lawyer... Cam's walking it back. He's being politically correct. I'll tell you what. I'm a huge fan of Our Lady Peace. So to me, it's exciting to be talking to the guy. And if it takes an en vogue conversation for me and him to buddy up, that's hilarious too. So a shout out to him. I like the the guy i don't not

like him and it was fun going back and forth with him but anytime he wants to continue this conversation i'm down and who tried to loop in spinderella i feel like i did i did i did uh spinderella cut it up one time uh okay now the i mean we're all Our Lady Peace fans. I think that's fair to say. And you do know that Taggart's an FOTM. He's made an appearance on the program. And I think like many of us, he's got time on his hands. So he has the time now to

partake in these debates. And he had a strong opinion. It happened to be wrong. But I guess, can opinions be wrong? That's a whole separate debate. It's the magic of Twitter. I'm going to put on my professional hat. Just don't tell him that Leonard Cohen sang the theme from Sopranos or we'll never

get up. That was what happened on the off-season, between our Friday episodes. We're doing this by the way, every Friday throughout the physical distancing order during the COVID-19 pandemic. We're doing this every day.

After Hebsey on Sports, we roll right into a Toronto Mic'd episode with Stu and Cam. Ian, he has so many outfits out there, but RomePhone.ca is the one that tags every episode of Toronto Mic'd. Ian joins us, and you can chime in anytime you want. Ian, please Cam, tell us what is the premise of today's, what's the theme of today's

jam kicking? So yeah, today's segment and today's episode is going to be about international artists and there's an asterisk on that for the sake of this episode an international artist means

an artist who's not based in canada the united states or the uk and to specify the uk when did that get taken out i thought you said you weren't allowed to have more than one person from the uk to have more than one person from the UK. Anyway. I was just going to say, I was just going to say, for the sake of this exercise, the UK also encompasses Scotland and also Wales.

So no Manic creatures, no Tom Jones. No Franz Ferdinand. Yeah, no Stereophonics. We listened to Stereophonics recently. No Super Furry Animals, Gorky Psychotic Minchi, all the great Welsh artists. So I know why Stu is concerned now, because I actually have the advantage. I see Stu's picks. I see Cam's picks.

Of course, I see my own picks. I load them up. So I have that great advantage over you guys. So, Stu, hold that fire, because that jam that you're concerned about, I'll play it last, and then we'll discuss where the uh like like where you went wrong but let's let's hold that fire okay spoiler i went wrong you're giving taggart more ammo i am excited to kick off and again i might have screwed up the order uh if there's a song that has i mean i'm gonna just play these in the order that i load them up i apologize if i screwed something up here. But let's kick out the first

international jam. Again, if we weren't clear, the artist can't be Canadian, can't be from Canada, can't be American, and can't be from the UK. Google United Kingdom to find out what that entails because yes, it has Northern Ireland in there and it has... That's a new rule. He did

not say that. No, Stu, he was clear. He was crystal clear. Hey, Stu, he was clear. He was crystal clear. Hey, Stu, I got the receipts, bro. He was clear. In fact, I even tweeted about it when I set the table and talked about it in a Periscope thing that absolutely UK was banned

because you can't do this international thing without banning the UK. Too many popular English artists. You know, just like other great world leaders, Cam was the first to ban the UK. He did it very early. Ladies and gentlemen, come to the stage the lovely

Veronica. Y'all ready for this? This is Cam. Cam's first jam is Two Unlimited. Yeah, so Two Unlimited, their origin is actually in amsterdam of all places although uh jean-paul de custer and phil wilde the uh dynamic duo of this this seminal dance outfit from the 90s they're actually from antwerp belgium originally um that sounds like two males so who's the female that's gonna sing like the

lyrics no limits you're thinking right no no limits we'll reach for this yeah like i feel like they had like a series of like guest vocalists uh yeah i mean you know it was someone named kim uh kim vaguerre kim v kimmy kimmy v yeah exactly but I mean this is certainly from the golden age of Euro pop I mean 2 Unlimited I was going to say 1A Wonder but they actually had like 3 or 4 songs they had Tribal Dance and

they had a few different tracks when you hit a song like this that is timelessly still relevant in the sense that it is played back in the old days when we used to go to sporting events. This would be played at sporting events, obviously. This is like a, I would say this is an after the seventh inning stretch type of song to keep the beer sales going for an extra 30 seconds. And it's also a staple in sports for sure.

It's a staple of humor when shows like The Simpsons or Family Guy do like 90s gags. They'll use a song like this to make it even more so. This is like every shitty minor hockey team in Southern Ontario, like the intro music when like the 14-year-olds came on the ice. I'm sure like, you know, Gabby Finoose and all the great skaters.

Yeah, yeah. Come On used to come out to that song. Come On. North York, circa 93. As well, if you've ever attended, I know Tim would know this, or sorry, Ian would know this. Tim's another guy with three letters in his

first name. Yes, Ian, if you've ever attended a gentleman's club, you've probably heard this song. This is the song that they would play right before the specials are announced. Like the food? Yes. Never eat at a strip club. Now, this song is

Get Ready, but the other one... Unless you're in Atlanta, I might say in Atlanta, the food at the strip club is very good. It is. Pro tip. No Limits is the other massive song from this band that gets played at a lot of hockey arenas to this day. No. And also, isn't this like Don Cherry's Rock'em Sock'em Rap or Jam was one of these songs?

He was basically... He can shoot. He can score. Number four, Bobby Orr. Let's go. There's no limit. No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no. Very, very, very provocative stuff. Bobby Orr. Let's go. There's no limit. It's what I am. No, no, no, no, no, no, no.

Very provocative stuff. No doubt. That was probably Rock'em Sock'em 5, I'm guessing. Ironically, that was the second most popular Canadian rap song of the year. And if Maestro didn't release a song that year, Cherry would have taken... No Kish in the mix there?

Okay. It reminds me a little bit of the KLF. The KLF, I think, was a bit better, maybe, if I can say that, but it also has a big C&C Music Factory vibe going on. Yeah, totally. Again, kind of the golden age of Europop, the much-danced compilation series. Master T, shout out to Master T.

Yeah, FOTM, Master T. These two unlimited tracks are staples on those great compilations. You did reference 3AM Eternal, I think is the superior song. I did say that. It would have been a better choice. K.L.F. is like a real band.

K.L.F. is also British, so we don't qualify. They don't qualify there, Stu. Stu, are you ready for your first jam? Is that a yes? Yes. Okay. Okay.

See, Ian is getting already does this not qualify this one qualifies it's like a geography geopolitical discussion and that Ireland is not part of the UK

which people should know but not everybody does so Belfast Ireland is on the plate is not part of the UK, which people should know, but not everybody does. So Belfast, Ireland's known for great... Wait, wait, wait, wait. Is Van Morrison from Belfast? That's what it said when I looked it up. Oh, this is an illegal jam. This does not qualify. I thought he was from Ireland.

If he's from Northern Ireland, this song is an illegal choice. Well, no, no, no. He wasn't born in Belfast. He grew up in Belfast. I don't think it counts, Ken. Hold on. Hold on.

Hold on. Don't disqualify me yet. Hold on. Well, hold on for what? Can I tell you where he was born? I have to plead ignorance. I thought he was from Ireland Ireland but now that you say it in fact I just watched the last waltz

and you're right he is from Northern Ireland that's part of the UK that means this song is disqualified half of Ireland doesn't how does that work I'm going nuts here my grandmother from Dublin would be very angry

Ireland is an independent republic it is it's own stand alone country Ireland represents itself here because my grandmother from Dublin would be very angry. Ireland is an independent republic. It is its own standalone country. Ireland represents itself in the World Cup and at the Olympics. Northern Ireland is not part of that? Correct. You're offending every single

Irish listener. Northern Ireland is part of the United Kingdom. Just like Scotland. And Wales. It probably is. Well, I apologize to the Irish listeners. I'm now learning. I am today years old when I'm learning about this.

And I thought that Van Morrison was a fine entry. So I'm not going to get disqualified right off the bat on some asterisks or technicality. I will say this. Van Morrison is fucking great. I mean, I think that's the key thing that we should... No, no, no. That's not the key thing.

Van Morrison is fucking great. He's fucking great. I just watched him on The Last Waltz. He's fantastic. But he is not eligible for this episode of our Kick of the Cam. I think that the real offense here is to all of our friends in Northern Ireland who are being shafted of being included in a list because of Cam's stupid rule.

No, the premise was clear, in my opinion. It was very clear. It was no U.S., no U.K., and no Canada. That's it. No U.S., no U.K., no Canada. You could have Googled. I think it's up to the participants. And Mike has very graciously invited Stu Stone and Cam Gordon on his podcast every week. I think the least we could do is come prepared. That's just how I was raised. Hey, hey, hey. That's bullshit, okay? I thought that this was – I didn't know he was from Northern Ireland. I thought he was from Southern Ireland. I did. And then if we didn't

play this song, Ian was dancing on Zoom. And Ian was clearly dancing the first time he heard the beat. You played a dance song and he didn't dance. I played Van Morrison. It's not about which is the better song. It's literally called Moon Dance.

He was just fucking doing what the name of the song is. He was doing a moon dance. I saw it. You all saw it. The song you picked is called Are You Ready For This? Clearly, he wasn't. I love that every single freaking week we do this. Stu, and I know your big fan Linda will say, you know, Stu gets what he wants.

She knows what's up. Linda knows what's up. Linda knows what's up. She knows what's up. You've yet to kick out. You've yet to follow the rules. Every week, there's controversy because you have a jam or two because, you know.

I'm punk rock, baby. I'm punk rock. I think Linda just likes the bad boy. I'm a bad boy. Remember that episode of Seinfeld? If this is 90210, I bad boy. I'm a bad boy. You remember that episode of Seinfeld? Yes. If this is 90210, I am Dylan, and I'm very rarely Dylan anywhere in my life. You're not even fucking Dylan. You're Ray Pruitt,

like, going down staircases and stuff. I'll say, in my career, I have played the villain or the punk rock rebel very few times. Usually I am shoehorned in as the best friend, the friend-zoned guy that's friends with the hot, you know, that type of guy. In this show, I am accurately cast as the punk rock rebel. That's my new nickname. cast as the Punk Rock Rebel. That's my new nickname.

When you introduce me next week, I want to be introduced as the Toronto Mike resident Punk Rock Rebel. I want to say something here. I had to go to several different locations of like A&A Records, Sunrise, LA Discs, Sam the Record Man, Sam the Record Man to find the to find a copy of the Falco cassette because this song was so hot

you couldn't get the album anywhere because some German, whatever he is, Austrian pop star I don't know what, you'll tell us where he's from but that's not something that record stores were stocking up on thinking it was going to sell, they maybe ordered 1, 2, 3 copies of this album and you couldn't get your hands on it.

And finally, I did. Rock Me Amadeus. As a kid, I thought this was the best song ever. Of course, you know, it isn't, but it was back then. Firstly, I'm with you 100%. Here it is. Hold on. 1756, Salzburg, January 27, Wolfgang Amadeus is born. 1761, at the age of five, Amadeus begins composing. 1773, he writes his first piano concerto. 1782, Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart marries Constance Weber.

1784, Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart becomes a Freemason. 1791, Mozart composes the Magic Flute. On December 5th of that same year, Mozart dies. 1985, Austrian rock singer Falco records... That's part of the song right there. Rock singer Falco records. That's part of the song right there. That's the remix because I will only listen to this version. So the quick backstory is that the radio edit, it's fine, whatever.

But this is the, I hope I pronounced it right, the Solari version. It was on the 12-inch single from 1985. And that's where you get that whole, you know, Austrian rock singer Falco records. This is my preferred version. It's very long. It's wonderful. I don't get tired of it. I think it's great. The Simpsons, of course, did a great parody. Dr. Zayas,

Dr. Zayas, which was great. Here's the horns. They're fantastic. But for the record... He's Austrian. Okay. Just like Hitler and Schwarzenegger. So, so far we've got the Netherlands, we've got Austria, and we've got... An illegal jam by Stu Stone. Which I thought was Southern Ireland.

Let's just move on. Let's move on. You know, Falco... Speak of Falco. Is also the last name of the woman who played Tony Soprano's wife on the show Sopranos, Edie Falco. Edie Falco. That's correct. I wonder if she's related to Falco.

I'm sorry, Stu, is that a fun fact, or what was that? That's just a fact. What's a fact? Casual fact. Yeah. I like this part, too. Listen to this part, Stu. Hold on.

The women voice here. You know, it's a long song, it comes later Maybe I have to fade this sucker out But people should find the Solari version It's on YouTube, you can find it there I will say this Songs that came after this That used the Speak factually Like read-offs,

rattle off facts from a list, and then sing a heavy hook. Paul Hardcastle. Are you going to talk about Hardcastle again? No, I was going to say not a surf. Popular was that same kind of like, rule number one, don't do this, and then like similar,

rattling off facts, and then a big powerful hook. Because we've, I think every episode we've done in the pandemic had a Rule number one, don't do this. And then like similar rattling off facts and then a big powerful hook. Because I think every episode we've done in the pandemic had a reference. No, no, no, no, 19. You could say even like Weezer, the sweater song was a bit of that. I mean, it was more like spoken word dialogue. No, no, but that was just at the very beginning

because then in the verses they sing in Weezer. But yeah, at the beginning. That's fair. And sort of like. It's throughout. Ian with the ruling uh going out going out jeremy tiger here he's got the good where his bread is butter he's got the good mic he sounded great there uh i was gonna then the song another song is of course this

came up in a recent covers episode this band brand van 3000 with drinking in la it starts remember it goes hi i'm stereo'm Stereo Mike or something. Remember this talk? Len's Steal My Sunshine has a combo up top. Yeah. Arrested Development has a combo post, like towards the end of the song, about a game of

horseshoes. What about institutionalized suicidal tendencies? Suicide, yeah. Just wanted a Pepsi. Just wanted a Pepsi. Just wanted a Pepsi. I will say that after one round here, the only person to move the needle,

and by needle I mean Ian, Ian has been still as a wooden board until he heard the Van Morrison song. That moved the needle. Disqualification notwithstanding, I believe I won the first round. It's just because I had that song on a Key 590 tape.

He knew. Sorry, I'm digging my... It's a long version. I got three more minutes to go, so I'll fade her out and get to your next jam, Mr. Gordon. Bye, Falco. Austrian.rian and by the way he died pretty

young i think it was a car accident i think or a motorcycle accident and he had a hit before that uh die commissioner do you remember this oh yeah that was a big i always get falco and taco mixed up but putting on the reds right oh man you want to see do you guys want to see Ian dance again? Hell yeah Okay I'm sensing a theme here from Cam I'm sensing a theme here He likes his Euro trash. Oh boy. Saturday night dance I like the way you move Pretty baby

Oh boy So this is straight out of Denmark This is Wickfield This is one of those songs And there's been a handful of these Over the years Written I think for the specific intent of people in their late teens early 20s to listen to as they're getting ready to go to the club

i would put also put into this category pink let's get the party started but remember the original title of that song. Whatever that's called. Black Eyed Peas. I've Got a Feeling. Also a big bar mitzvah hit. Actually. You know why that is, right? Because they say Mazel Tov in it.

Yeah. I wasn't born yesterday. Oh, can I just clarify something? So when I said the original title, it wasn't the pink song. It was actually the Black Eyed Peas song. Let's get it started in here. The the origin that real song has different inappropriate lyrics we don't say problematic thing though but i'm sorry this is again like another uh much dance staple uh wig field don't know too much about her i feel like she actually surfaced on a 90s dance tour that might have played in like Vaughan last summer.

Do you guys remember seeing this? At the pizza festival. That's right. It was at a pizza. I think Wright said Fred was there too. Wait, Wigfield played at like a Vaughan pizza festival? They played at a pizza festival and they killed it by the way. They were on the second stage headlining but they killed it.

Do they have a second song? They have like a whole set what do you mean they're fucking wakefield i will say this i'm seeing a trend in cam's selections already so i'm kind of seeing where he's going with this which is interesting sort of like a sub genre within a genre he's going like international hits but he's sticking with like 90s, you know, mayonnaise dance music. I will say that when I was friends with Cam during this era, he never listened to this music back then. So it's like maybe this is his goat's cheese, something that as he got older, he really took a liking to this music that he didn't understand maybe as a kid. Well, I'll say this much and just to do a bit of a fact check to myself here,

because I'm not, you know, I'm not opposed to correcting myself, unlike some of us. So Wigfield actually played, this is 2018 on something called the Rewind Tour that actually touched down. And there was that pizza event, Stu, and you're right. There was some fun pizza thing that had some other artists. But this one where Wigfield played was Wigfield opening for Prozac and Aqua

at Echo Beach, 2018 that took place. Aqua would also qualify for this episode. That's right. They actually did a six city Canadian tour where they also played places such as Winnipeg, London, Ontario, Abbotsford, BC, and also the River Cree Resort and Casino in

Enoch, Alberta. I don't know where that is. That's a great casino, by the way. I keep saying Tim. Ian, do you still have your t-shirt from the show? Because he went. Ian went to the show. To the Rewind Tour. He did. No, I did not.

No. I love that Ian's just there when called upon. He's such a steady hand at the wheel. Thank you, Ian. Okay, you want to kick out a Stu second jam and see if he has one that actually qualifies for this theme? Give it a shot.

Ladies and gentlemen, please welcome Ricky the Tracker to speak. Ricky the Tracker, speak! I don't recognize this one. Vocals are going to have to kick in eventually. Then Kim might know it. It's got that nice long intro. I should use it for... This is a lot better.

It's, of course, Dave Matthews from the Dave Matthews Band. Okay, firstly, I don't know this song. It's called Two Step. Dave Okay. No, Two Step. Dave Matthews Band, Two Step. That's the new song. Okay. And he's born in South Africa, right? Johannesburg, South Africa.

Does that qualify? You know what? Good question. I feel like this is like saying Ron McLean is German. Yeah. Or like, yeah. You said artists that are not from Canada. But that doesn't mean that you can be. You guys are from South Africa.

I'm fine with it. I personally find it a bit lazy. But again, to each his own. I mean, technically, sure. We can include it. Dave Matthews. You know, he's from, that band's from Virginia. Is that where they're from?

Okay, guys. Where's Steve Thomas from? Stumpy. Stumpy? England. Yeah, he's British. He's a great British hockey player. He was born there, but he was raised here.

Listen, if you're going to take credit for Ben Johnson and Donovan Bailey and all these guys that aren't Canadian, all of a sudden they became Canadians? Oh, Stu, that's so different. Those people were, they emigrated to this country and became Canadians, man. That's a whole different story.

Is this sports with Pepsi or is this the Toronto Mike podcast? I'm just saying that Dave Matthews is from South Africa. Okay. Technically, yes. Yeah. What do you mean technically? He's from South Africa. I wonder if it adheres to the spirit of this particular program

he wasn't like born and then at one years old moved to America this guy grew up in South Africa he is South African okay Stu here's the thing no he was two years old when he moved to New York he was a very mature too

he made it sound like he was playing like soccer in South Africa. He's two years old. He was very mature too. Here's the thing. Here's the thing. I thought it would be nice if we could, you know, expand our minds, get some flavor of different cultures, music

from different parts of the world. And you played it. Let me finish. You've had your chance. It's my turn to talk now. I can't do this. I might have to log out. This is too much.

I just need a moment. You guys talk amongst yourselves. This guy's giving me grief about my selections. He has picked two unlimited and he has picked... Wakefield! Exactly. You picked, like, two of the lamest, shittiest songs you could possibly pick,

and you're questioning me about including a South African legend. Who's playing the Dave Matthews band, one could argue, has played some of the finest baseball stadiums and NFL stadiums. His music is as American as mom and apple pie. And oh, I'm sorry. If you would have played the pizza fest in Vaughn, would he have qualified? Is that is that the barometer now for who is, you know what I mean? Pizza fucking fest.

En Vogue tweeted you this week. Boy, what a fall from grace you've had this week, Cam. You know what? I'm on Team Taggart now. I will say this. If he did play the pizza fest, it would have been a bad thing. It would have helped for what we're trying to do here in the spirit of this episode.

If I may, on behalf of fans, I just want to say thank you to you guys that you're doing this every Friday. This pandemic sucks, man, and we're all going through such hardships and we can't see people we care about, loved ones, family members. We're all locked up waiting for this to end. We're all scared we're going to get sick, make somebody we love get sick somebody could pass away terrible times man but every friday

i know i'm gonna laugh man it's like i know stew stone cam gordon and tim service i'm sorry ian service is gonna make me laugh my ass off okay so just thanks for doing this every Friday during the COVID-19 pandemic. No problem. I think Stu's over too. Sorry, I'm going to call in a correction. And I think Stu and I were both pretty close. I think it was actually a burger fest in Vaughan. Maybe it was rib fest. Less ethnic.

No, I have the poster right here. It was a two-day bill. Day one was sort of the dance day. It was Stevie B, Joey. Who discovered Maestro Fresh West at Electric Circus and got him his U.S. deal with LMS. And then someone named David Torres. I don't know who that is.

Day two, a lot of FOTMs in here. Treble Charger, Maestro Fresh West, Joy Drop featuring Tara Sloan, and DJ Mark Holmes of Platinum Blonde. What a lineup. What a two-day of burgers, beers, and tunes. Hosted by clubber Tony Monaco. The whole thing.

This is Vaughn at Interchange Park. Z-103s. Hold on a minute. This has got to be a stewstone. It's not. It's Mike's pig. It's my pig. Oh, now it's good because Mike picked it well no

we're gonna have words in a second yeah I think Dan was talking about picking songs that like became popular maybe here

because this sounds like an actual song that maybe just stayed in whatever region well I was gonna say the Pokes are from London are they I believe

are they not I thought this band was from Dublin hold on I'll be goog not? I thought this band was from Dublin. Hold on, I'll be Googling while I listen. Hold on. Oh, wait a minute. They might be from Belfast. The man was giving lectures on ancient Irish history.

The man all started telling jokes and the women, they got frisky. By five o'clock in the evening, every bastard there was pesky. Pretty well gone away. There's nothing left to say. Farewell to New York City boys, to Boston and PA. Edit, edit, edit, edit. Delete, delete, delete. Wait a minute, wait a minute.

I fucked up. He's a hypocrite. He's a son of a bitch, hypocrite. Toronto Mike is a fraud. See, Cam Gordon didn't screw Toronto Mike. Toronto Mike screwed Toronto Mike. Edit, edit, edit. Mike, I don't know if some of this is rubbing off on

two sort of indiscretions with his picks or rubbing off on you. I thought I knew you. This is probably about the 10th time I've been on your podcast. I mean, Ian, what are you doing every Friday, Ian? Maybe just you and I need to take the wheel here until these guys can clean up their act. Sounds good. Let's do it. You know what?

This coming from Cam who created an international incident last week with his disqualified choice. So I don't know what you're – you're a fucking slut calling a kettle black. You have no right. You have no right, Cam Gordon. You literally caused chaos, international chaos, with that whole what a man nonsense. I'll say this too. What's extra sickening about this choice?

I love the Pogues. There were multiple photos I just dropped in our chat window of me not one week ago wearing a Pogues t-shirt on Twitter, tweeted by the head of Twitter can of Paul Burns. I just dropped it. You can check the tweet. Paul Burns, wow. That's big leagues, man.

However, this is as Howard Finkel, if Howard Finkel was alive today, he would announce this as a disqualification. Okay. Let me own this. Let me own it, okay?

Because I have made mistakes, and I'll probably make more as classified one said. I fucked up. I honestly got my lines crossed. I love the Pogues. I don't know why I... I mean, you're insulting all of your Irish listeners. Yes, I am.

Because this is a London-based band. That's in the UK, last I checked, which means I'm here to say that this jam is disqualified. And this was the song in the final episode of The Wire, the second last? The Body of America, right?

It's a big Wire song because when a cop would die, they would have, at the irish pub they would have a like a wake and then yeah play the song and they would play the cassette with this song on it uh during the week i think uh freeman would call for it or whatever but yeah i gotta say that that scene uh spoiler alert for those of you haven't seen the wire where mcnulty's apparently dead on the table we all thought he's dead and then sort of it's a big ruse that was like a really good spoiler spoiler that's a great scene

that was a great it's the best and i've seen a lot of tv shows a lot of stuff i've tried a lot of shows and i finished a lot of other shows and i'm telling you now the best tv series watching experience of my entire life was watching the wire only surpassed by when I watched it a second time. And Mike, I'm trying to remember when you and Molly Johnson went head to head. It came up like some talk about her brother who was on. Her brother, I pointed out that her brother was on The Wire because in season five, her brother, Clark, Clark Johnson is a Baltimore sun reporter guy. He's got a big role in season five. There's only five seasons by the way.

And she pointed out erroneously that her brother didn't just star in the wire, but he created the wire. But the fact is her brother did. Her brother did direct four episodes, including the pilot. Is that true? The fact is, her brother did direct four episodes, including the pilot. Is that true? Wow. You might want to fact check it if it's coming

from Mike. He's full of shit. That's the first time I've had a jam, so now we're all like, now I know how you guys feel. Stu, this is commonplace for Stu. By the way, what happened to Ian? He was disgusted by Mike. He walked out.

Ian warned me that the internet is under great strain today. Because I don't know if you know this, but there's more people working from home and stuff right now using the internet and doing shit like this. And he has to go, I don't know, pump air through the pipes. Before you give Tim his plug, let me just state one fun fact that occurred here in this round. Because this will probably never happen again guys there are times in history when there are once in a lifetime events like the pandemic that we're going through much like that this what just happened here is a once in a lifetime thing that will probably never happen again in which a competition involving music uh you had the poguesues and Dave Matthews,

and they were defeated by the people who sing Saturday night. Wigfield. Be my baby. And Stu, just to clarify, Wigfield, much like... Oh, wait a second. Wigfield's a person. I was going to say, much like Catherine Wheel or PJ Harvey.

Or Alice Cooper. This is a future episode. Tim Wakefield? There's a little Tim Wakefield, yeah. He can still throw for a team. I feel like Tim Wakefield is the guy that served up Aaron Boone's... He certainly is.

God, what a moment that was. He was 49 years old or something when he did that, right? Well, he was not quite in the Charlie Huff vintage, but he was getting up there. Speaking of knuckleballers, if we can take a two-second intermission for one second just to do a quick... Oh, okay. Two seconds for one second. During this pandemic, they've been airing a lot of Blue Jays games from 92, 93, 2015, etc. games from 92, 93, 2015, et cetera.

Yesterday, they showed the game where the Blue Jays game four against the Texas Rangers. And five years later, I am still rattled to my core that R.A. Dickey was taken out of the game in the fifth inning with two outs, up 7-1. So you could bring in your ace, David Price, to mop up on a 7-1 Game when R.I.D. could have had his First ever career playoff win

It makes no sense John Gibbons the same man who a week Prior played Mark Burley on Two hours rest and cared about His stats and David Price gets the Win and he gave up four runs 7-1 He was cruising.

Just leave him in there and let him do his thing. Healing. Healing. Well, also, like, you'd need, you'd want to, I didn't understand it because you'd want to save

Price's arm for a game. Yeah, it makes no sense on multiple levels. It's a terrible decision. You made trades to get David Price to be your ace, not your middle reliever.

You don't burn him. And he had him warming up in the game before that. He didn't use him. He had him warming up in the game before that. He didn't use him. He had him warming up here. Strowman, it ended up working out in game five. But Strowman shouldn't have really been starting game five. That should have been Price.

Obviously, it would have been a different outcome. We may have lost. Who knows? It worked out. But Jose Bautista bailed Gibby out. Sorry, there's a song playing, right? So this is a bit of a double dip this is a pair of australians uh nick cave in the bad seats featuring kylie minogue who we talked about last week locomotion yeah exactly so this is a departure from your first two selections yeah well i thought we'd

mix it up here so this is from about 1995. The song's called Where the Wild Roses Are. Or Where the Wild Roses Grow. Is it grow or are? I think it's grow. Are you picking out a jam that is so rare and deep that you don't know the title? Well, it's a long title.

It's called Where the Wild Roses Grow. Yeah, so this was from his album Murder Ballads where he brought in a lot of guest artists including Shane McGowan from the Pogues that we just heard and various other people. Who's not Irish.

Not Irish. I mean, Nick Cave, born in Australia. He's also been based in places like Germany. Also Brazil. He's lived there for a time. None of these places are the United States or Canada. However, one could argue that the bad seeds were germinated in North America. Well, a lot of the bad seeds were from different places, including certain other markets.

And actually, one of the bad seats, Blixabargal. You guys familiar with the work of Blix? He was in the German band Einderstein Nebauten, who were going to play in Toronto this October. I had tickets to go see Einderstein Nebauten. Well, it got cancelled. At the Danforth Music Hall, a concert that's like six months

away is already cancelled wow did we see Nick Cave in the Bad Seats in concert with Farbsy is this one of those guys that we would have seen I don't think I saw him until like well after high school I have seen him a couple times since I

I don't think I really knew him in high school aside from he played on that Lollapalooza with Smashing Pumpkins and Beastie Boys. So we did see him, because we were there. I wasn't there. You guys were there. I was there. Yeah. Yeah, he's good. He's underappreciated, dare I say, at least here. However, Cam didn't know the Dave Matthews song.

That's a very popular song. And then he goes and he selects this song, which nobody here knows except Cam. Well, maybe we'll need to do another poll. I would argue this was for a certain demographic. If there is a poll, you can put this song up against Two-Step and see who knows it. Yeah, for sure. Maybe Wakefield will chime in and retweet it and we'll have another little Twitter moment. Who knows?

Tiger's going to have an opinion. I can predict that. Yeah, Tiger. Tiger will chime in with some thoughts. It'll be great. Tag. I dedicate this record, The Carnival, to all you brothers taking long trips down south.

Oh. Virginia, Baltimore. Disqualified. All around the world. Good choice. Good choice. And your girl gets this message that you ain't coming back. She's sitting back in her room. The lights is off. She's crying. Disqualify? Good choice. Good choice. Hey, I'm talking at the beginning of the song, too.

Comment in this genre, though. One, two. One, two. I asked myself why See you must understand I can't work a nine to five So I'll be gone Till November Said I'll be gone till November It's very appropriate now

What the world is We might all be gone till November Yeah, fair point You mean we might be doing this every Friday until November? I mean, I think Cam and I wound up hating each other by then. That would never happen. It's all good and good fun.

I have an idea where every week we add another person to the Zoom, right? And then by November, it's just like 100 people in the Zoom. As long as there's a paywall yeah maybe Lisa Vachon LBV can come in

she's biased of course guys this is she's a great woman don't you dare besmirch her name I will say that this is Wyclef since you didn't say it Wyclef John of Haiti other famous Haitians can't allow you to say the most This is Wyclef, since you didn't say it. Wyclef John of Haiti. Other famous Haitians can't allow you to say the most famous.

I assume you're going to reference... Tony Fernandez. I was going to say the Haiti kid. The Haiti kid, yes. Who once boxed Rowdy Roddy Piper, I believe, on national television. I feel like he got his head shaved or something. He did. national television. I feel like he got his head shaved or something. He did. That

ties to our fucking host here, Ace Cowboy Bob Ordon. Wasn't it Bobby Beefcake, Buddhist Beefcake who used to shave the head or something after? Yeah, he was a barber. I think he's Buddhist right about now.

Wyclef Jean, of course, the founding forefather of the Fugees with the great Lorne Hill and his now enemy, Praz. You know, Praz and Wyclef. They're much like Taggart and Cam. They butt heads. But the Fugees, the score, one of the great albums of the 90s and sort of a one and done affair for the Fugees. They never really

recorded an album together again after that. I think that's kind of great where they have this huge smash album and then they never play together again. I think there's something... This goes to show you that once money gets involved, money changes everything, like the great Cyndi Lauper once probably covered.

Cream, man. Yeah. I'm telling you. I like this song. I like this song a lot, man. This is from the carnival. And I remember I bought this disc and I liked his. Now, here's a question.

Is that a sample of Saturday Night Fever? Yes. Yeah, I know. So it's not a cover. No. It's an homage, if you will. Although Taggart would say it is. Yeah, well know. So it's not a cover. No. It's an homage, if you will. Although Tiger would say it is. Yeah, well, Tiger would.

Well, it depends who gets paid. I mean, as long as someone gets paid, that's the main thing. Early in this song, I was listening to it in the headphones here, and I heard one, two, one, two. And I actually, for a moment, thought it was Ian. Like, Ian had just gone on the mic and went one, two, like during the song. And I thought, oh, that sounds good in the mix. But it's part during the song. And I thought, oh, that sounds good in the mix.

But it's part of the song. If you want to ever be entertained, you could do a deep dive on like the Fugees. There's lots of, it's very Cam Tigert stew centric in the sense that the three of them just are going at it all the time. And there was an album before the score, was there not? I feel like there was a remix, a remixes and B-sides sort of album that they put out after the success. A Pisces Iscariot type of album. Exactly, if you will. DGC Rarities, if you will. We should send the Zoom link

to Taggart if he wants to pop on next Friday. Stu's shaking. I can see him shaking in his boots there. I'm nervous. I'm gun shy here because I've never been wrong before on one of these episodes. And I picked the Pogues because in my mind when I picked it, I'm like, I love that Pogue song. And in my mind, they were from Dublin.

I don't know who I'm confusing them with, but you know. The Dubliners. You know, it's like not all of us can, you know, some of us come a little more prepared than the actual host. Hey, don't speak, because we got another jam that's controversial from you coming up, but let me kick out this jam. I love, I love this song. This better be good, Mike, because so far I'm winning this round. I love this song.

The first time I heard it, always loved it and I'm proud to pick, kick it out for you right now. What? What? Now this one dedicated to all me singing. This is your friend who drop out. If a guy knock my window up, your whole eye can come out. Think of water is lead coming out. Licking on your mouth and your head back up. Come follow me. I'm not sure anymore. Always knocking at my door.

Door now the faces that I knew. German is so sunny and blue. Now my man can see it in the sky. Sky, then I saw he's already die, die. I'm missing me, oh me, oh my, my. Enough Man A Dead by Supercat. Anybody? Supercat, of course. Cam would know him, Supercat,

from his appearance on the Sugar Ray song, I Just Wanna Fly. Yeah, most famously, perhaps. But a great, great dance hall artist. He is the guy who famously says, put your arms around me, baby. That's a good jam. But I was worried when we had this assignment from Cam that we'd all go off and pick our favorite Bob Marley song. Like, you know, for sure,

I'm going to have a Bob Marley song. And that would be the Jamaica representative. And I went with the Supercat jam, which I still throw on the mix now and then. I like it so much. Nuff Man A Dead. Just to represent Jamaica.

I will say we've got a pretty good variety in spite of the rave errors that both of you have made. Good mix of tunes today. A lot of variety, some upbeat,

some dance stuff, some alternative rock, now a bit of reggae. A lot of variety, some upbeat, some dance stuff, some alternative rock, now a bit of reggae. Enjoying the tunes. For anybody who's ever visited Jamaica, if you don't stay in Montego Bay, like say you pick somewhere else to stay,

it is one of the most dangerous, scary bus rides of your life in Jamaica to get anywhere except Montego Bay. How often have you visited Jamaica, Stu? Not often enough, my friend. Not often enough. Maybe we need to do one of your

Toronto Mike events in Jamaica. I'm down. Like a Sandals resort. So there was the song Montego Bay that we probably all remember from Club Medads. Do you remember the band who... This is a very covered song, but the 1986 version, what that band was called.

I just looked it up. I didn't know off the top of my head. I don't know. Amazulu. Oh, wow. Right around the time that Hands Up, Baby Hands Up was also... Sway. Right.

I like that jam too. I played Montego Bay for Dwight Drummond when he came on Toronto Mights. I'm pretty sure I played that version right there too. And I think Sway was Canadian. Not to be confused with the Thornley Secondary School talent show Sway, which is acronym Some Wonderful Entertainment. Or the host of the legendary wake-up show for hip-hop fans out there sway of sway and tech uh i will say this though uh i'm thinking of a jamaican act for this you know obviously bob

marley none of us picked bob marley i'm assuming because that's you know that's a whole other deep dive on its own but but you could have you could have picked bob marley, I'm assuming, because that's a whole other deep dive on its own. But you could have. You could have picked Bob Marley. He would have been a fair pick. You could have picked Bob Marley. You could have picked Shauna Paul. Just gave me the light.

You could have picked that. You could have picked – Jimmy Clip. Teddy Rains. Murder, She Wrote. Murder, She Wrote. Chaka Dima and Plowers. Chaka Dima and the Pilars.

You could have picked Mad Cobra. You could have had Shabba Ranks. Yeah, of course, Shabba. You went with Super Cat. Yep. I still think I won that round, but that's a good song. I don't like having winners of rounds.

I think the only way you can win is if the other two entries were disqualified. In this round, none of our jams, shockingly, all of our jams are okay. Ready for Cam's fourth jam? Yes.

It's a rhetorical question. No. I represent South African culture This place Get a lot of different things Blacks Just to clarify, it's a South African artist

It's not Dave Matthews I'm curious if you guys know this song This to me was quite a famous song, but I don't know. We're not as cool as you. That was the preamble. The fourth chord is like a really bad chord. Like a death chord. Like a chord that doesn't make sense.

These guys are great. This is that ninja. Yeah, okay, so you know this. That's right. I think it was bigger than maybe Thornhill. This is not an old song. This is from like in the last two years. Yeah, this is way more contemporary

Than almost every other song we've ever Every other jam we've ever Kicked out so this is Die Antwoord Out of South Africa The Zef style here with the song Enter the Ninja Probably their first hit that I put them on the map

I don't know like this to me Seems like it was a pretty popular song. It was. It definitely was. The hipsters loved it. Yeah, then YouTube, you know, you look at the play count, it's up in the many, many, many millions. Well, the video is like, you can't look away from it. It's like, the video's for this song, you should check it out, Mike. It's like Letter Kennyny the video or something

like that yeah it's uh definitely a very visually uh arresting band and i i believe uh dj high tech has since left uh this planet uh from from the video where did he go uh he's He's in a better place. Is he with Howard Finkel and Damaso Garcia? I would say so, yes. Ian Service, do you know this song, or am I the only one who doesn't know this song? No, I know this song. But it was big on the internet, because Diane Porte is like...

I feel like this was a song that got popular as much, just to his point, for the video. Because it was so memorable and this band was just so out there in terms of their visuals in a way that, you know, other bands aren't. And, you know, you've got a guy like Kanye West who's constantly touting Diane Ward. Like, he throws around their name almost to, get street cred, like in an ironic twist. Correct. I was too busy creating content, I think. I missed it.

I missed it. I don't know what to say, man. Sometimes I miss things. But this is only a... I think this is a great song. I love this song. I feel like the guy in the video, he's got a cast on too, maybe just like Mike and Bob Orton.

On that note, I'm getting used to it, where now it's like this is just the way it is. I just have a fiberglass cast on my hand. Paul, Mr. Wonderful, don't call me Paula Orndorff. Did he have a cast for Wild Blue? Well, you know that because a friend of the show, FOTM, Retro Ontario, posted yesterday that Paula Orndorff and Ace Orton met at CNA Stadium. I don't know if you saw that. Maybe you didn't.

No, I missed that. This was on Twitter? On Instagram. He posted the advertisement for Hulkamania which featured that match. Cast match. Orton versus Orndorff in a cast match. Fun fact, both of them had a last name that started with the letter O. Stu, was it you or

was it our mutual friend the Big Rybowski who was at that event and someone threw urine? Farbsy. DJ Farbsy. That was DJ Farbsy. Okay, I think we've talked about that on that show. On this show, we've talked about it. Yeah, that is so disgusting.

I got... It was child's urine, so it was like less, you know, it's not... It's toxic. It's not like a beer piss. Okay, but it's full of apple juice, right? It's like an acidic, more of an acidic. Yeah, like I would probably rather be doused in like Coors Light piss than like weird like Kool-Aid piss or something.

And those baby cookies. Pressed milk piss. Arrowroot cookies and apple juice piss. All right, on that note, let me kick out another let's see if this qualifies, another stew jam. Wait, now you're saying you start my songs

with let's see if this qualifies? Well, two of your three prior to this were disqualified. What, two? Dave Matthews is from South Africa. We have to rule on the Dave Matthews. I was going to say you're batting 333, but that would actually be very good batting average.

Hall of Fame. More for pouring the head bobbing. Stu picks the bangers man Holy smokes How come you didn't pick a Bob Marley song? I thought it would be too obvious I went with Beanie Man. Spelled B-E-N-I-E in case you were trying to Google this. Fun fact. Fun fact.

It's spelled Beanie like a hat. Not like, you know. You're wearing it. I'm wearing one in honor of this Beanie Man. I just felt beanie like a hat. You're wearing one in honor of this beanie man. Who roots for the Dallas Cowboys? Why do you root for the Cowboys? I don't. It came for free in a case of Bud Light. So you're giving that Jerry Jones.

Listen, we only drink Great Lakes beer on this program. Yeah, of course. If I wanted water, I'd just turn on the tap for Bud Light. Great Lakes is the best. And I'm drinking a few Great Lakes brewskis over the quarantine. And they just brewed some new electric circus. So you can buy, they'll deliver it for free, but you can buy cases of electric circus. Is this the cowboy dancer, Dalton Pompey's dad? Yeah, absolutely.

I talked about this with, I blew the mind of Danny O. Do you know the rapper Danny O? Danny O was at the Sky Dome with Chuck Lair when Monday Night Raw was in town. So I told him that story and it blew his mind that Dalton Pompei, because now I'm thinking of Dalton on third base

of Nobody Out. But Dalton Pompei's dad, the cowboy from Electric Circus, because Danny always discovered of sorts on Electric Circus as well. Mike, I went to McMaster. Is this the cover? Is this part of the song I covered? I'm not getting it.

Mike, as you may know, I went to McMaster University and in third year at Mac, one of my roommates, Anna, who was a friend of someone Stu Stone knows, Paul Judson. Machine Gun? What's that? Machine Gun Judson? Not Judson, who was someone else from Thornley.

Anna, my roommate in third year at Mac, went to school with Danny O. I was close personal friends with Danny O. Wait, you had a co-ed you had a co-ed roommate this was like a student house there was like five of us very three's company of you come and knock on our door i don't like how mr it's none of mr roper or mr furley it's neither of their business who lives together right? Why do they care that there's a guy with two women living in that?

First of all, was it in San Diego? I thought it was San Francisco. Santa Monica, okay. Really, he had to fake being gay so that the landlord would let them live in the same, like different rooms but in the same apartment. He's encroaching.

You can either look at it like that or you can look at it as like super meta and he was gay and you were the one being tricked oh but roper and furley were gay because roper had that wife jack i'm saying jack actually was gay and and like the jokes on us but you know they were right roper in an alternate universe roper and furley were By the way, did you guys ever go to the bar in Toronto, the Regal Beagle? The Regal Fleagle, you mean? Which is a wing place in Thornhill. I'm not kidding.

Margie's uncle owned it. Okay, that's... I did not go to the Regal Beagle. I do remember Larry and Jack would go there. Yeah, his sleazy friend Larry, who reminded me. Let me guess. One day at a time, he reminds you of the superintendent.

I was going to say when the video game Leisure Suit Larry came out, I thought originally it was based on Larry from Three's Company. Richard Klein, by the way. Wonderful man. Richard Klein, yes. Good man. Good job, Stu. That's Company. Richard Klein, by the way. Wonderful man. Richard Klein, yes. Good man. Good job, Stu. That's amazing. Is he the son of Robert Klein? No comment. Kevin Klein, his brother.

I do remember Jack, when he opened the restaurant, it was Jack's Bistro. That's when I first learned bistro was a French word for restaurant. Yeah, I didn't know that either. I didn't know that either. It edumacated me. You can get great steaks at a bistro.

I think we've covered that. I was going to say also bistro 422. You guys ever go there across from Sneaky D's? No, I didn't. They're very well known as having some of the cheapest beer in the city. Shut that down. They've been in the college crowd, for sure. All right, my fourth jam here.

Here we go. Don't ask me What you know is true Don't have to tell you I love your precious heart I I was standing You were there Two worlds collided

And they could never tear us apart In excess Never tear us apart of all the songs that we have played today on the show this is the best one this is the best one it's a great track i don't know you'd have to go back and look at them in aggregate we know Dave Matthews band last also fun fact

and I think we've covered this before but in the movie Donnie Darko the original cut of the film that was played at Sundance Film Festival

this is the song that opened the movie when Donnie Darko is riding his bicycle from you know he wakes up he rides his bicycle home this is the song that opened the movie when Donnie Darko is riding his bicycle from you know he wakes up he rides his bicycle home this is the song that plays as opposed to the killing moon wasn't it

now they replaced it with the killing moon wow okay that Stu for the first time this episode that's an actual fun fact that's very fun thank you I'm just trying to provide some fun for you donnie darko is fucking great just throwing it out there so this is we'll say that it wasn't

this is uh it's the best song that we've heard today i mean i love it yeah you're listening to the the horns there it's fantastic and the connection I have with Michael Hutchence who is Australian in case you didn't know that you're both into kinky sex auto erotic asphyxiation

wasn't there a movie about that after he died about people who were into that crash not the crash about racism the crash about people who like were into that crash, not the crash about racism, the crash about David Cronenberg, uh, people who get turned on by, uh,

auto crashes or whatever, but anyway, what is your connection? Okay. Uh, I, I have, I had,

have quite the friendship with, uh, Dwayne LeVold, who might be better known, uh, by the name Custom. Hey, mister. I really, you know, hey, mister.

Custom. Anyway, Custom directed a movie just before Michael Hutchins died, starring Michael Hutchins called Limp. Litigation in courts and lawyers, you can ask Taggart about all this stuff, has kind of kept it from being released or whatever. But anyway, I don't know if that's a fun fact or just a fact, but Custom directed a movie starring Michael Hutchence just before he died. I'm sorry, who's Custom again?

Custom, when I think of Custom, I think of StickerU. Well done. And yes, upload any image to StickerU.com and you can order a variety of uh you know stickers decals temporary tattoos and different sizes small large they're fantastic people sticker you.com but i'm gonna play i can't believe you guys maybe you need to hear it but hey mister i know this song i love this song yeah so thank you i'm gonna play it uh via youtube here real quick here hosted by me by the way um fun fact at a million views uh the hey mister that comes up is hosted by me tell me when you recognize it Like ice cream, maybe dip her in chocolate Hey mister, on your way to work In your Volvo suit and tie

We'll be crawling in your bed soon Messing around, maybe getting high It's not what you did It's not what you didn't Gotta get the perfect body now I'm all up in it It's not She's a tramp

It's not She's not pure She just sucks I think Hogg sounds kind of funny. This is a Canadian song. I'm looking at his Wikipedia page.

This is like right over my head. All this stuff. Okay, so I saw him perform at the... Not to do, but Cam's standing six foot seven. most things don't

go over his head customs about the same height so he's from calgary lives in manhattan he uh this was his big hit it was a big radio hit on 102.1 and uh he uh he had performed at an edge fest i was at once and like i don't know when that was 99 or something like that but uh yeah he also directed limp which starred michael hutchins but good luck finding it and if you do let me know okay so you don't recognize the song at all you guys what didn't a canadian guy end up uh taking over the like he won like a reality show to be the singer of In Excess. Yeah. That's a different guy. Can't Fortune or something like that? Yeah. Yeah, Fortune. Yeah.

Anyway, it's interesting to me. You two have a blind spot for this jam, which I thought was pretty fucking big deal for guys our age at that time. I don't know this one. Alright, let's hear Ian for a minute. Ian, you remember He Mister. I was singing along, let's hear Ian for a minute. Ian, you know, you remember Hey Mister. I was singing along. It's a great song.

Yeah. But again, it was like, it was an edge track. So like this was right in the generation when I would be listening all the time. Yeah, me too. This is 2002. Like I was definitely around. I was living in Toronto.

Yeah, so if you listened to 102.1 in 2002, you did not, you could not have missed Hey Mister. Well, you know what? I didn't have a car then. So maybe I just curtailed my radio listening habits during that time. Yeah. I definitely don't know it. And 2003, I would have not even been... You were in Los Angeles.

I wouldn't have been anywhere near 102.1. Well, that would explain that. But anyway, so my NXS is from Australia, and we each have one jam left. And let's get to it. It seems like this band comes up often on our Friday episodes during the pandemic here. But let's kick out another cam jam.

Enigma Sadness Part 2 Shush Escojo Escojo Escojo I wonder who they flipped off for this song. Hey, Stu, we're trying to listen to Gregorian chants. Can you, like, chill? Let it wash over you.

Let's look up the pyramid. I know that this is a great song. Listen. Sadness Part 2. One of the best sequels that you could possibly have. Like Leonard Part 6. This is the godfather 2 of Sadness, of the best sequels that you could possibly have. Like Leonard part six. This is the godfather two of

the Sadness collection. I know Cam has gotten many massages to this song. I will say that this, like the Falco song, is another cassette that I seeked out and had to go to several different stores

because Enigma, Gregorian Chants over dance songs was another thing that wasn't stocked deep when it on its first arrival and you couldn't get the Enigma tape you had to go and find it and I found it and I was a fan of this song and I think that my parents they thought it was bizarre that I was like blasting Gregorian Chants. Gregorian Chants had a moment Like there was a big comeback for Gregorian Chance, probably spurred on by this song. But yeah, people were buying like old Gregorian Chant recordings and stuff. They were having a moment back in 1990.

And Stu, one quick clarification. This is actually Sadness Part 1. I guess there's like an album track that's Sadness Part 2, just to clarify. Well, Sadness Part 2 is the better one. That's what I was trying to get at. Okay, gotcha. Because this is a longer jam. It's like five minutes.

I don't know. Actually, this is probably like seven or eight minutes or something, this version. I happen to know some of the lyrics if you'd like me to say them to you. Go for it. Saint-Denis. Est-ce que je parlais? Est-ce que je parlais? Saint-Denis. Isn't that French? Yeah. Don't know. Est-ce que je parle? Est-ce que je parle français? Don't know.

Isn't that French? Yeah. Dis-moi, dis-moi. That was the big hit. One of the big Mitsu hits I love so much, right? Dis-moi, dis-moi. You remember this? She was dancing with that chair.

Holy smokes. I only know Mitsu and Rock Wazine. Well, I remember Musique Plus with Rochelle... Hold on. What's her name? She came on and did much music eventually. Richard. Nathalie Richard. Do you remember her? The one thing I remember about Musique Plus

is that I used to watch it hoping that they would play some Montreal rap music because that was always the most entertaining, non-threatening rap I ever heard. I thought you were watching it because they might, sometimes they'd put nipples in videos. Oh, that too. That too. But it's good to see how you end up singing like Jean Leloup.

Est-ce que je peux faire ça? De l'or. Who sang I Wanna Be a Cowboy and You Could Be My Cowgirl? You Could Be My Cowgirl. Who sang that? Kid Rock? No, no. Way before him a that's a different cowboy i wanna be a cowboy in your official googler can you google this and you could be my cowgirl the last time that we had heard an uh an enigma track it spawned a whole

trilogy of kicking out jams uh but i'm wondering, as we know, Enigma like to rip off these poor religious cults when they release their big hits. So I'm wondering if these Gregorian Chanters were ripped off much like the natives were ripped off in their other hit. Yeah, well, I mean, you're right. The Enigma, which is really just one guy, a guy named Michael Kretu, which is a German guy.

Oh, yeah, what country are these guys from? We forgot that part. Yeah, so he's a Romanian-German fella, actually born in Romania. Okay, so this is what we'll do. This is your fifth jam, so why don't you give us the five countries that your jams represented

on this international-themed jam kicking? Who, me? Yeah, Cam Gordon, please. Oh, okay, okay. So yeah, the rundown. No, no, the other Cam. The other Cam. Yeah, so full rundown.

Two Unlimited from the Netherlands. Then we had a little Wigfield. A Girl, not a band, from Denmark. Then we had, again Wigfield a girl not a band from Denmark then we had again a double dose of Australia with Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds featuring Kylie Minogue and then we went down to South Africa home of Dave Matthews

apparently for some Die Antwoord and then last but not least we had the Enigma based in Germany but with some Romanian roots as well. So a real spectrum. Excellent. Now, dare I truncate this because we're about halfway done this song now.

Yeah, let's stick a pin in. You know, it's a good song to get a massage to or a lap dance because it's really long. So, Stu, you had one jam that was disqualified for being from Northern Ireland. This one's going to get disqualified too. Yeah, this song is going to be disqualified too. Spoiler alert. Don't play it yet. Don't play it yet.

Hold on a minute. I clearly misinterpreted Cam's rules, okay? Or else I wouldn't have made two selections, not one, two selections, because I thought that I was doing the right thing. I thought I was picking different countries, and I was trying to do some kind of fun sort of picks. And I think this one should qualify. Even though it's not going to, I think it should,

because I think that the rules were misinterpreted by me, and ignorance is a plea in the court of the Toronto Mike. I'll say this. It takes a big man. There's an echo there. What happened? I meant when it's wrong. You've been wrong a lot.

Well, if anyone was an expert on being wrong, it would be me. Now, I will say that this ties in well. My final selection ties in well with last week's selection. And I sort of picked this because I wanted to see if Taggart was going to call someone. Did they cover this or did they sample this? I guess Taggart will have to weigh in on that. But this is a legendary track from an artist that

was one of the very first in his genre to not be an American and top the charts, the rap charts. But the final word that I want to kick out here is that, uh, I was very proud and honored of my selections.

I think that I did this for, uh, the fans of the show that have my back. You know who, you know who you are, that one person. Linda. LBB.

LBB. And, uh, uh, you know, I, I, I want to submit this song with an asterisk. Sure, but don't disqualify it because it is so great.

And it's another song with talking at the beginning. Hold on, Cam, you have an echo. Okay, it's fine now. I'm actually better with this choice than Dave Matthews did. And it's France, right? No, if it was France, it would be allowed. This is a UK rapper. Slick Rick is from the UK, right, Stu?

UK, right. Yeah, Slick Rick, yeah. I love this song. It was on Rap Tracks 2. I mean, it's hard to get angry at Stu for his flagrant ignorance and violation of the rules, because it is true. Like, this song is awesome. A stolen Nova.

I honestly will drop a rhyme from this particular jam all the time. I still do it, man. This one and Lottie Dottie. That's the other one. I drop a lot of lines from Lottie Dottie. For those of you at home

who can't see, Stu has this shit-eating grin. On his face, he looks like the fucking Cheshire Cat. He's so proud of himself. Even though he knows he broke the rules, but knowing how much we enjoyed this song, we're all very conflicted here.

I think he's very proud of what he's done here to end this episode. Wait till I close with a Pearl Jam song. I like this song. Shout out to the great Montel Jordan of course this is how we do it right this is how we do it

it's another great jam but yeah Slick Rick man underappreciated and the children's story again I don't know if you guys collected the rap tracks compilations but rap tracks 2 is a personal favorite and my memory I have to go google it to see if I'm right, but my memory is that this jam was on Rap Tracks 2,

which was just a playthrough, man. I loved it. It was much more than just DJ Jazzy Jeff and the Fresh Prince, man. It was really good. There was some LL Cool J in there. There was some Cool Moe D, as I recall. It was good. Hold on. as I recall. It was good. Make the ruler all of the rest of you

are peasants. Hold on. Stu, you sound like a fucking robot. Can you hear me now? It sounds like you're doing a wait or something. Improvement?

Yeah, what happened? I have no idea, but I was going to was gonna say slick rick the ruler all you poor peasant pieces of trash need to bow down to slick rick the ruler and if you ever watch there's deep dive documentaries on slick rick this man had so much gold he made mr t blush i'm so glad that your mic was prepared for that because that's my favorite part of the episode. I don't know why that was so funny. That was, like, hilarious. I mean, if you can picture Mr. T blushing,

that's a pretty rare sight. You know, if you listen to the first opening, cold open of the episode I did with Kish, I opened with a jam from Order From Chaos in which they used that exact same effect, that same effect you had there with the computer effect or whatever on your voice. If you just listen to the first

20 seconds of the Kish episode of Tronamite. I think that's a sign of a true artist. And now he's like dancing like Susanna Hoff in the Bangles Walk Like an Egyptian video again. Is that cultural appropriation? Is that an appropriate song for this day, Walk Like an Egyptian. Is that cultural appropriation?

Is that an appropriate song for this day, Walk Like an Egyptian? Yeah, I think it would be a huge problem if they tried to do that now, the Bengals. Why, do Egyptians walk a certain way? Well, they're in Egyptian garb. Yeah, it was a lot. Yeah, what do you call those? Saxa? Yeah, sorry.

Wasn't it all just in the spirit of Passover? Yeah, or Steve Martin, King would be that would not fly i need to tell the fotms and you guys uh who are also fotms about a show i caught it's uh only got like six episodes or something it's called rami and r-a-m-y okay this is this american uh he's born in egypt but i think he lives in america now and oh was he i is this American, he was born in Egypt, but I think he lives in America now. And, oh, I don't know where he was born, but his family's from Egypt. They emigrated from Egypt. But bottom line is,

you've got to find it. It's on Hulu in the States. I found it, a certain pirate, it fell off a pirate ship. It's called Ramy. R-A-M-Y. It's the fucking,

it's a great show. And you guys should all watch it. Yeah. I'm telling you, it's unbelievable. it's a great show and you guys should all watch it yeah i'm telling you it's unbelievable i will watch that and and i will say that during this pandemic there have been many heroes there's been the frontline heroes who have put themselves at risk there have been the podcast heroes like cam and i who have come and saved this show every friday because of uh with our greatness because otherwise it would just be you and Tim. And so I want to say this has been great and the pandemic is going to go on. So we will be back again.

I haven't had a jam, you know, this is, it seems, are you closing? I know, but I think we usually play your song and then you wrap it up. So it's just like, I'm trying to get like the pre last word. You know what I mean? Shout out to the frontline workers. On behalf of myself and Cam, you know what I mean? Shout out to the frontline workers. On behalf of myself and Cam, you know, the dynamic duo of Cam and myself,

we had a great time this week. We both declare that Stu's selections are valid. And shout out to Brenda. Linda, who's a sweetheart. I met her at several TMLS. I wasn't talking about Linda. I was talking about Brenda. That's someone else. But Linda as well.

But this has been a very good time. And, you know, Mike, this pandemic may never end. And this may be like, we might have to hear every Enigma song that ever came out. Sadness Part 2, Sadness Part 3, La Mia Coppa, all the jams. Mike will be picking next week's topic. Oh yeah, I guess a lot of pressure. I've got to think on that. Well, here, let me close out

this week's topic. Thankfully, this song won't be disqualified. I have an idea if you want. How about American or Canadian artists that were only big internationally? Oh, like Danko Jones. Danko Jones. David Hasselhoff.

Right on me. David Hasselhoff. Let's talk about it. Okay, yeah, right. Danko's been on both our podcasts, Cam. We share Danko. That's right. All right.

So here, I have an intro for mine. Some Stephen Wright. Let's hear this. K. Billy's Super Sounds of the 70s Weekend just keeps on coming with this little ditty that reached up to 21 in May of 1970. The George Baker Selection, Little Green Bag. Isn't this, this is Steeler's Wheel? Oh, that's stuck in the middle, that's stuck in the middle.

Yeah, I love this fucking song. Oh, that's stuck in the middle. That's stuck in the middle. Yeah. I love this fucking song. One of the most iconic songs, movie song combinations of the last, you know, ever. Yeah. I mean, if you're a Tarantino fan, you can't hear this song

without picturing the dogs and their suit. Yeah, it's, if you're a Tarantino fan, you can't hear this song without picturing the dogs and their suit. Yeah, it's iconic, man. I'll bet you guys thought this was another American band. I thought it was England. I never had this soundtrack, so who is the artist here? Okay, the artist is

I do still, like, I'm sorry to say, I still periodically pop into a hospital because I have things I have to do with my wrist but I'm like that's it man I've shut it down I really am grateful for those people who are essential workers and helping to keep us all going here

absolutely true true heroes like yeah hard stuff and you know with the conclusion of this show Cam and I can go do something with our wrists. Yeah, I'm not going to touch that. Literally and figuratively. Literally and figuratively. I knew where that would go a millisecond after I said it.

Great tracks, guys. Love it. Yeah, I got to come up with a good topic for next week. Last time I just flipped cam. So next week we're going to kick out our favorite Canadian, American, and UK songs. Just kidding, of course. Because that's everything, right?
