Can you hear me? And Cam Gordon. Hey, happy, happy 30 yes, testing, testing Can you hear me? And Cam Gordon Happy 30th, over the hill So that's 30 weeks of this shit This is like fucked, man And no end in sight No, no, new record numbers here in Toronto Was there? I didn't even Kill me now

Or I guess it's Ontario Record numbers? Yeah, for Ontario Like the most we've ever had is today? Correct. Jeez. Yeah. Was it like 800 or something like that? Yeah, it was like 787 or something.

But they also like it was a record number of tests. It was like some people are kind of pointing. And it wasn't a Toronto record. It was just an Ontario record. We've actually had more. But I say kill me now. And I say that because kill, kill, kill. We're going to kick out the killer jams

and sadly, in a moment, I want us to have a conversation about the man who opened up things tonight, Eddie Van Halen. But the reason we're doing killer jams is because you can now see, you know, you can now see legally,

you don't have to be a special media member or anything. Everyone listening, in this country at least, could now see legally like you don't have to be a special like media member or anything like everyone listening in this country at least could now watch like tonight could watch faking a murderer they could i guess uh but last week you said like we had to wait two weeks well that's because i've been told that the 14th is the world premiere uh broadcast premiere so we're pushing for people to watch the broadcast premiere which is on the 14th of october next wednesday night so is it better for you if people wait till the 14th better for me people watch the movie so however they should watch it twice yeah watch it twice but the 14th would be nice because then uh you know it would be a nice success when it uh airs on the channel but yes faking murder is available um for people who have Hollywood Suite or Amazon Prime video, I guess.

Well, let me tell people exactly what I did. So I got a DM from a Stewstone superfan, Cambrio. Oh. Because the Cams love Stew. He's a big fan of Macabre, the band Macabre. Okay, yeah. Right. Now, Cambrio, just the DM was something like...

Better you than me. Holy shit. Have you seen it yet? And I, like, because I listened to Stu, and he's my... You didn't pop it on the mic. No, I just... I need a drink. It's a haze mama, that's yours.

Thank you. And you guys, we will shortly... We'll take turns. I will turn the heater around for you guys. It's really... Thank you. I'm melting over here. No, you said we're going to do a cold open.

It's great. In a literal sense. It's for you guys. Okay, Cam said, holy shit, have you seen it's it's really thank you i'm melting over here you said we're gonna do a cold open literal sentence for you guys okay cam said holy shit have you seen it and i said i i listened to stew so i said see what like i didn't get like a secret link or uh some kind of media copy or something and then cam brio of all people's like no if you search prime for faking a murderer like you search prime for faking a murderer it's there now i for faking a murderer. It's there. Now I did that. I said to Monica Saturday night, I said, babe,

what are you doing tonight? She's like, I don't know, what are you doing tonight? I said, let's watch Stu Stone's new movie, Faking a Murderer.

She's like, okay. I searched Prime for faking a murderer. It said, oh, you need a Hollywood suite. I signed up

for Hollywood suite. Oh, that's very sweet of you. Just sweet, no pun intended. Just to watch your movie. And that's what we did. You should let them know that you did that because they would be very happy to know that.

The more people that sign up for the 30-day free trial of Hollywood Suite to watch Faking a Murder, that looks very favorable. Okay, that's all I need to know. Although I feel like this is something Barb at CDN Technology could perhaps help. Yeah. Install some like VPN. Yeah, maybe like a bot or something. Yeah, a router.

So I will do a spoiler-free review. Honest review? Honest review, which is that I loved it. I couldn't believe you, somebody who visits me once a week and we kick out these jams. I forgot. It's almost like this guy who's become a friend. Can I call you a friend? Sure.

Are you a friend now? I'm an acquaintance. I spend more time with this acquaintance than I do with any friend I have, to be honest. A colleague. We spend a lot of time together. We kick out a lot of jams. We have a lot of laughs.

You're my friend. Thank you. That means a lot to me. And you created something that looks really professional. Like it looks big. It looked professional. Is that the line for the poster? It looks professional. And I don't mean to say,

I didn't expect to see like a college project or something, but I forget how like multi-talented you are. Like you star in this thing. You're a director of this thing and it's,

I won't spoil anything, but it's very like, it's a great fun story and it's very interesting and compelling. It's got wild twists. There's wild twists. And in the credits, there's another FOTM surprise.

Oh. And Toronto Mike gets thanked in the credits. Yes. Love it. I saw you take a photo of your TV. You need the adulation. Of course. I had to get a photo

you know because if it wasn't for you Toronto Mike there'd be no beer cans there'd be no beer in the movie so I had to thank you for that

oh and that's fun too it's fun to watch a movie and say oh there's some octopus wants to fight there's some canuck pale ale they're all in there yeah they're all in there little e-tie surprise

it's all there so again I don't like to give the mixed messaging to the FOTMs. Like, do we want them to, like, this weekend, this long weekend, do we want them to get Hollywood Suite, the 14-day free trial or whatever, and watch the movie?

30-day free trial. Okay, get the free trial and watch Faking a Murder, or do we want them to do that on the third? You tell the FOTMs what to do. Listen, they know what to do. I don't even know. The main thing for them to do is watch the movie. Yeah, I'll probably wait until the 14th.

And spread the word about the movie. That would be a good thing. Well, you will be on Humble and Fred to tell all that. That's true. I can't wait to wake up at 6 in the morning for that. It's 8. But yeah, the movie I'm very excited about. I'm happy that you watched it.

I'm happy you enjoyed it. And hopefully everybody else will. And if you're listening to this, it would be really helpful for us because we are, you know, independent filmmakers to have people spread the word and tweet it out. Tweet at HollywoodSuite's official account. In fact, during this episode, I'll go Google what the hell that is. At HollywoodSuite. Pretty easy. At HollywoodSuite.

Okay. And let them know, just signed up to watch Faking a Murderer. Yeah, that's good. You know, tell friends, family, colleagues, acquaintances. And there'll be plenty of reminders throughout the next couple hours because we're kicking out killer jams in the theme in the honor of Faking a Murderer. What were you going to say, Cam? Well, I was just going to say, I don't know if you guys caught this news today.

Netflix is going up the pricing. Oh, I thought they were going under. Here in Canada, so like what better time to head over to Hollywood Suites. Make the jump to Hollywood Suites. All right. And I will say this. This is, I mean, obviously I want this to succeed for Stu. But beyond that, I looked at some of the offerings on Hollywood Suites.

It's better than. Grade A premium movie content. Arguably better than the Netflix selection of classic films. I just randomly, I was thinking of Miller's Crossing from the Coen brothers and I just said, is it here? It's there. Everything's there. You know, other Stu Stone movies are there as well. Heavenly Bodies, Donnie Darko, Jack of All Trades.

It is on there. Jack of All Trades is on there. It's all there. We'll talk about this throughout the night. I want to change channel to Eddie Van Halen, but just be sure to watch Faking a Murderer. Let us know what you think. Tag Stu on that.

You can tag me on it. And then make sure you let Hollywood Suite know that you signed up or you're watching their station because they've got Faking a Murderer. Like, let them know via the social channel. Yeah, and can I, do you mind if I just give a quick shout out? My sister Carrie, who's in the movie Faking a Murderer as well,

she's listening to the show right now, live. I thought she was Oscar worthy, to be honest. She was very good, yeah. Shout out to her. Your mom was good. She's watching with Maddie and Sammy. Trudy was good. Trudy was good too. Is Whitener, is he in it? Yes, he is. He took the photo.

He's in it. What about Farbzy, is he in it? No. Oh. No He took the photo. He's in it. What about Farbzy? Is he in it? No. Oh. No, Farbzy's not in it. Okay. All right. That's really funny that you asked that, but no.

Well, I don't even really know what I'm saying, to be honest. I just know that's a name you guys say a lot. No, that's a name. DJ Farbzy, yeah. We'll mourn him in a bit. But the film is about my brother-in-law, Adam, and I going on an investigation, a manhunt, to find a man we suspect to be a serial killer. So that's the plot of the movie.

Are we in over our heads? Yes, we are. And again, twists and turns, and you think it's going one way, and then it goes another, then it comes back. It's just a fun view, especially if you've been listening to Pandemic Fridays and you know Stu Stone is the Pandemic Friday guy, you gotta see this movie. Like, are you kidding me? You gotta

see this. I'm gonna make sure Kareem is watching it on the 14th as well. Thank God. I mean, you know, he liked the worst movie I've ever been in, so he'll probably love this. Right. You know what the most shocking part about all of this is? What? You're wearing a jacket and pants. And I'm actually hot.

If you're cold, I'm going to turn it around now. No, but I've never not been on a show where I've been... I usually am able to see your shins. You're a little concerned. This is the first time we recorded and I felt it was too cold for shorts. Are you wearing Lost Indie Cities t-shirt under there? No, I don't think so.

I've got like a sweater for some reason. Sweater and a jacket and a Superman t-shirt. So here's what we're going to do. Problematic. Stu, I'm going to start with you. I want to hear you guys, if you don't mind. Memories, thoughts.

We lost Eddie Van Halen this week at age 65. Yeah, well, I'll tell you what. Eddie Van Halen, of course, musical genius, the namesake of Van Halen, you know, had an impact on pretty much anybody who grew up in the 70s, 80s, 90s. Because he transcended his musical instrument. He became a rock god. And that's not easy to do with David Lee Roth as your frontman. I have vivid memories of watching MTV with my sister Carrie

at the height of Van Halen mania in the early to mid-'80s with the Panama and Hot for Teacher and, of course, the legendary Jump video. Sure. And then I have memories of the late-'80s, early-'90s and the Van Hagar years with right now the Crystal Pepsi commercials. Yeah, sure. Oh, yeah. But you played, what was that, Eruption you played?

Yeah, that was Eruption. So we've played that on the show before. I don't think so. Yeah, I selected it in Songs Without Words. I feel like it didn't come up. You ready? Actually, I guarantee you I played that song in our episode, Songs Without Words. I'm actually going to guarantee you didn't come up. Actually, I guarantee you I played that song in our episode Songs Without Words.

I'm actually going to guarantee you didn't. I remember thinking, what a glaring omission. I think you need to go and fact check that, Mike. I'd like you to text me an apology. I think it got Hanson, so I'm glad you got to play it tonight. It did not get Hanson. If only there's a way to prove this.

One billion percent. Are you in the Periscope? Ask one of them. I only there's a way to prove this. One billion percent. Okay, you know what? I can pull up the episode. Are you in the Periscope? Ask one of them. I'm pretty sure we didn't play. Can somebody please go check the episode, Songs Without Words. It's a great song.

And fast forward through the episode until you hear that, and then write back to me so I can tell both these guys to fuck off. But the double tapping, I mean, come on. Yeah, the tap guitar. Oh, yeah. Playing it like a piano? He may have not been The first guy to do that But he's the first guy

To do it on the big stage And popularize that You see a lot of people Doing that style now Like but And by all accounts A great guy Like I was listening

To FOTM Jeremy Taggart Was talking about They opened up for Van Halen On some tour or whatever And he was saying like He would You know the tips he got

From Eddie Van Halen and how supportive he was, like he was a sweetheart. I feel like they, they were very hard to categorize. Cause yeah, he was basically a savant on his instrument, like arguably one of the most inventive and technically proficient guitarists of all time.

Arguably. Always had a smile on his face too. Yeah. It seemed like he was just having like the fucking time of his life, even though like, you know, he had so many like substance abuse issues we you know you'd sort of leave that behind and would just like bring it on sage and the thing that always struck me of van halen like they were especially well during the david lee roth like they were a very athletic band like you know jumping off things, like be doing splits and just like very like physical.

And a little hard to categorize because, I mean, yeah, they were hard rock, but basically their songs were pop songs. Yeah. But what was really loud and really metallic, but it wasn't punk, it wasn't heavy metal, it wasn't top 40 even. It was sort of in its own category, and I think they really did, this is not an original thought, but they really did bridge like 70s hard rock and MTV in a way that...

Well, they were one of those bands that survived when MTV came around. Yeah, and one of the ones that lasted, because I feel like, we've talked about bands like Foreigner and REO Speedwagon and Journey who had a little overlap but like Van Hill and then they had their second act with Sammy Hagar which say what you will but you know had some like pretty big jams and pretty memorable songs. A couple of monster hits. Yeah but it's weird like once David Lee Roth left the band too like they were really sort of in the wilderness and Van Halen in the 90s I find really sort of fascinating especially when they put that album Balance which I think is when Taggart opened

for him I feel like that was actually the first year for some reason I have a vivid memory of this it was the first year the Molson Amphitheater opened and that was one of the first shows or at least in the first season with Van Halen with our lady peace right specifically um you know bands like weezer you know they loved van halen yeah like just like shit hot guitar i was actually trying to think okay who was sort of the best guitars of the 90s of like 90s bands and slash i think it was more as like an 80s guy. Yeah, because Appetite is 87, I think. You know, use your illusion. November Rain is in the 90s. It leaks into the 90s.

It leaks in. Maybe 1990. Tom Morello, maybe? Yeah, Tom Morello. I thought like Jay Mask as Dinosaur D. Someone who doesn't really get mentioned, but I think is just... Billy Corgan?

I was going to say, Billy Corgan just plays all the instruments. Is that who you were going to say? Yeah. He is really a great guitar player. Yeah, but I don't know. I mean, Eddie Van Halen, also interesting because famously apparently not into music.

You know, doesn't really listen to music. Well, he was a classically trained musician. He comes from a musical family, so it was one of those things. Him and his brother, I think I read this that originally Eddie was the drummer and Alex was the guitar player and they swapped. I think they heard

Dave Clark 5. I think this is the story. I heard this clip he was talking. I think they aired it on Q actually. It was a week. They grew up in Pasadena, California. They heard Dave Clark 5 and basically that was it. I think they were learning piano or something and they heard Dave Clark 5 and they said that's it. We're going to figure out these drums and guitars.

Allegedly Gene Simmons tried to recruit him for Kiss. Wow. Like when Ace Frehley left. We also know the Yacht Rock roots. Of course, the producer, the Doobie Brothers and Michael McDonald, long-time producers, the guy who produced all the Van Halen songs.

And Michael McDonald even co-wrote. And Steve Lukather of Toto also. There's a name from the Yacht Rock. You know, it's fun. There's a Yacht Rock tie-in to Van Halen. Shout out to Jody Thornton. Thornton? Thornton?

Who, you know, he does traffic reports for a bunch of stations in the city. But he's just now getting to the Yacht Rock. So I was watching his comments come in in, like, real time. So revisit the Yacht Rock entry and go check out the comments from Jody because he's got lots to say about that. They're very interesting. One final thought about Eddie Vance. Well, two final thoughts. One, and this is

total non-bullshit. The first piece of music I ever owned, even before the wrestling album that we talk about every episode, was actually the Jump 7-inch. Wow. That I got at, I don't even know what the record store at Markham Place, now the Shops and Steals in 4-4. I love these references. Right at Don Mills and Seals. And the only reason I got at, I don't even know what the record store at Markham Place, now the Shops and Steals in 4-4.

I love these references. Right at Don Mills and Steals. And the only reason I got it. A&A Records and Tapes? Yeah, it probably was A&A. The only reason I got it because my sister was getting Cindy Lauper, Girls Just Want to Have Fun. She's So Unusual.

Which is a cover. Oh, the single. Yeah, the seven-inch single. And then it's like, well, if Lindsay's getting one, Cam needs to get them. Like, I know this one, Jump. You know i was watching the the chum 30 um but yeah it was also interesting because 1984 is kept out of the top of the charts by thriller for weeks even though like eddie like played on this song apparently for a case of beer i I think, and some dance lessons. Ironically, the guitar that you're hearing up until the solo is Steve Lukather from Toto.

Eddie just does the solo. Yeah, just the solo, like 20 seconds or something like that. Here's the final Eddie Van Halen trivia that I heard this week when Chuck Klosterman and Bill Simmons were talking about it. Do you guys know what allegedly the last rock music album that Eddie Van Halen ever purchased was? Wow. Apparently this is like in a bio or something.

This seemed like they'd based it. Can you give us a weird? Is it like some random thing? No, no. It's an Aerosmith pump. Like R.E.M. No, it apparently was Peter Gabriel's So. Oh, wow. 86, I think. Like Sledgehammer and stuff. Like R.E.M. No, it apparently was Peter Gabriel's So. Oh, wow.

86, I think. Allegedly the last album he ever had. Big album, too. Yeah. It's funny because in the last year, Billie Eilish didn't know who Van Halen was, but it probably turns out Van Halen probably didn't know who she was either. I don't know. But Eddie Van Halen will definitely be missed.

It's kind of sad because, yes, he was 65 years old, a young man. Too young to go, Mike. I agree't know. Eddie Van Halen will definitely be missed. It's kind of sad because yes, he was 65 years old. A young man. Too young to go, Mike. I agree with you. That's a young man. It feels like it's just sad. It's just sad. 2020 just continues to outdo itself.

We still got three more months. He had been struggling with cancer since I think 2001. Yeah. I see you guys heard like he claims it was the throat cancer, the lip cancer, because he would put the metal picks in his mouth. Oh, okay. Like he says it wasn't from smoking and stuff.

It's better than what Michael Douglas said, right? Well, you know. At least Michael Douglas had fun. Yeah, hopefully. Threw his lady friend under the bus on that one, though. Okay. So where, hold on, where am I in this? Here we are playing on Killer Jams.

So it's still Steve Luther playing at this point? So we're getting there. We're getting there. Eddie's coming in. Here he comes. Okay. Okay, couple... That's incredible. Yeah, no, absolutely. Apparently he actually arranged the song too,

like when he came in the studio, Michael Jackson, and I'm not for Kareem out there, I'm just telling you this off the dome here, I'm not reading this information. From what I understand, Michael Jackson had left the session to go record audio for the E.T. book on tape that he got nominated for a

Grammy for. He may have won one, I think. But Eddie came in there to do the solo, didn't like the song, rearranged the song, played the solo. Michael came back in and he loved it. He loved what Eddie did. Virtuoso, is that a term? Yes, I think so.

Now, a couple of other quick notes before we get going with the killer jams is, one, we lost somebody else, and everybody's playing I Can See Clearly Now, because that's the Johnny Nash big hit. But of course, for people of a certain age, this is the jam from Johnny Nash that brings back the

nostalgia. the jam from Johnny Nash that brings back the nostalgia. Hercules, hero of song and story. Hercules, winner of ancient glory. Fighting for the right, fighting with his might. With the strength of ten ordinary men. Hercules, people are safe when near him. Hercules. Only the evil fear him.

Softness in his eyes. Iron in his thighs. Virtue in his heart. Iron in his thighs. It's like Toronto Mike from All That Biking. I watch so much of this shitty show. Global's got it. And Rocket Robin Hood too.

Me and my sister watch those regularly. Was this the one with, like, Friar Tuck, like, take one bite out of that hamburger? That's Rocket Robin Hood. Yeah, one bite and he'd toss it. One bite and toss it, like a pile of grapes. What a fucking waste. You know, that used to bug me, actually, because he'd have the full bunch of grapes, and he would kind of bite it like it was an apple or something.

And throw it behind him. And throw the rest away. It's a complete heathen. But this Daedalus, yeah, and Helena, like this was a... Johnny Nash. Johnny Nash did that theme song.

So now, you know, the sad, sad, a lot of sadness here. I don't have anything to play, but I do want to tell Cam that the byway bag that he gave me made the rounds again. Yeah, they keep unearthing it. As always, they sent a text to my parents. They said it will never die, which again ties into this week's theme. But someone we did lose someone this week. I was going to say closely tied to Byway.

I mean, the guy who starred the store. Do you remember his name? Frankway? I was going to say Marco Sturm, but that no like a hockey oh craven craven or close coven uh malcolm coven okay and i feel like founder of byway murray craven co-founder of uh byway i feel like we're on wiseblood's turf i know tread lightly he gets a bit some point he did retweet the bag tweet because that tweet had its life. Well, yeah.

And that CTV, when CTV, I'm looking at it right now, ctvnews.ca, when they wrote about this death, it was a CP article. But the picture, it says, a bag for byway can be seen in this undated photo, Toronto Mike Twitter. Yeah. I mean, undated.

There's a date on Twitter. I know. Well, there's also a date on the receipt, which is like 1990. Do you get flattered when you see that? Like kind of your handiwork? Oh, yeah. Yeah.

You know, I dig it. Like I dig it when there's like the digital remnants of shit I threw together for Toronto Mike or Twitter or whatever that shows up in mainstream media. Like, I love it. Do you want to hear? This is like a kind of a lame anecdote, but I'm going to say it anyway. Then we definitely need to hear it. Yeah.

I'll try to be quick for like two or three years um there was this file footage that global news had of me and this guy watching television like in a very exaggerated manner like we're pretending to watch sports okay and this is because i used to do pr for lg electronics and they did i think it was like the super bowl like here's tips for buying your TV for the Super Bowl. Right. And we're filming at LG's headquarters in Mississauga. And they, oh, we need some like file footage of like quote unquote guys watching football.

Right. So me and this guy from the sales team just pretended like, you know, like a really bad exaggerating. And every year they dig it up? Yeah, like every six months I get some texts. Hey, Cam, saw you on TV. I'm like, what are you talking about?

You're watching TV with some Korean guy or something. Oh, that's great. Yeah, so there you go. That's great stuff. Okay. Did I mention that Faking a Murderer is now available on demand, but we should also wait for this big premiere on the 14th. I appreciate that. People who are watching us live right now

on the Periscope, let's give a shout out to some of them. Okay, who's doing that? You know, you got Brother Neil, you got Leiva Famke. Of course. Thank you, Liva and Daniel. Rome Phone. Rome Phone, I believe that's Ian Service,

our very own Ian Service. Mike Gragowski. Good man, Mike Gragowski. One of the nicer guys. Too nice, right? You think he's too nice? A little too nice. Amongst others.

So, hello. Shout out to the... Hello from somewhere. Shout out to the... Hello from somewhere. Shout out to the FOTMs. We're going to get to these killer jams. Thank you for enjoying a Hayes Mama, but you've got a Hayes Mama open there. It's delightful.

I've been waiting all day for this. Who's the wrestling figure you put in front of the... That's Carlito, son of Carlos Colon. Cable guy, Jeff's favorite wrestler, Carlito. Cool. Carlito. And what league is that? That's WWE. Is it? Okay. Okay. So they still make these figurines.

First of all, of course they do, but this is like a 20-year-old figurine. What era? I don't know. I stopped in 88. It's like the 2002, I would say. Okay. I'm sorry. Dude, correct me I stopped in 88. It's like the 2002, I would say. Okay. Stu, correct me if I'm wrong. I feel like Carlos Colon one year inexplicably showed up in the Rumble. He did. His 50s.

He did. 12.36 is watching, by the way. Okay. So let him know we covered the deaths of Johnny Nash. We covered the death of Eddie Van Halen. And we covered the death of Coven, the byway guy. And if he's listening, tell him something he mentioned this week made me change my pick because one of my songs was mentioned on that episode.

Right, we did talk about one of your songs. More on that later. More on that later. Okay. So, this is October. This is the final month I'll be talking about Pumpkins After Dark 2020. I'm looking forward to you keep talking about it. I'm looking at the pumpkin ale from Great Lakes,

and it's making me realize that there's a 2.5-kilometer drive-through event in Milton, Ontario, that would save this wonderful holiday of Halloween, save it for the kids and the grandkids and the nephews and the nieces. And, heck, I think adults can go, too. This isn't just for kids. But they sculpt jack-o'-lanterns and such, and they illuminate the night sky. I saw a photo of, like like a dragon made of pumpkins. Yeah, there's some crazy shit going on.

There's a tunnel. It's all drive-through, very safe in these COVID times. But you better get your time slot now. They're selling out super fast. So go to pumpkinsafterdark.com, and when you buy your tickets, use the promo code miked, M-I-K-E-D. You'll save 10% and it helps the program.

I would like to say that there is somebody in the Periscope that likely has already used that code, that promo code. Shout out to Fitzy who says hi. Oh, shout out to Fitzy. It could be anybody. Fitzy wants to know when is the car coming back so we can go to Pumpkins after dark. I know who that is. I'd say like two and a half hours.

Fitzie, use the promo code Mike M-I-K-E-D. Barb Paluskiewicz, I was chatting with her today because we're going to do a live webinar event where

she's going to dress up as Elvira. Really? Yeah. And she says she's got a dress for it. She's got the goods. Wow.

What is this, WrestleMania 2? Good for her. So she's going to be Elvira. I'm going to be myself, and I'm going to interview her, and this is going to be a live webinar event. But only fans, or where can we see this? I'm going to be tweeting out a link, and of course CDN Technologies on Twitter will tweet out a link.

No, I mean, I told her, I said, this is going to be interesting, because she was describing the dress and how Elvira-esque it was. Can you describe it to us? It's how Elvira-esque it was. Can you describe it to us? It's very Elvira-esque. Wow. And us guys of a certain age. You going to wear jogging pants for that? Or are you being really careful?

Congratulations on that gig. If you fall ill or something like that, you know, Cam and I are happy to step up. I'm not available for stuff like that. For interviews? Not for that. Cam's an enigma wrapped in a riddle. I'm not. I would compare him

to the group Enigma. Sure. He does love Enigma. He's full of sadness. Yeah, yeah. But I heard it. The working song. Yeah, there's some.

By the way, have you ever heard the song, I think it's called Waves by Chance the Rapper? Wave babies. Yeah, I'm going to get Michelle out here. Which I think samples

returned to me. Wave babies. Barba papa. Yeah, yeah. Oh my God, yeah here. Which I think samples returned to me. Wave Babies. Barba Papa. Yeah, yeah. Oh, my God. Barba Papa, Barba Mama, Baby Barba. That's all I can remember. But Barba, speaking of Barba, Barba Palusco Edge.

This really is a pop culture rant. Barba. Well, TVO, which is celebrating its 50th anniversary, was such a key part. Like, I was Sesame Street and TVO. That's why I have these traumatic experiences when I hear the theme to Doctor Who because it messed me up because it came on right after Polka Dot Door. I loved it.

I was okay with that. It was just that... What was Thing? I think that was like Read Along. Boot? That's Read Along. Read Along, which was also good. I liked them all.

I liked Dr. Snuggles. Dr. Snuggles. The Green Forest. Simon. The Green Forest was my, the fables of the Green Forest. I'm a bear called Jeremy. In the Green Forest, the Green Forest,

the stories you read about all come to life. You're a rabbit hippity hop. Yeah. Today's special. Remember Jay? Caw, caw. Yeah.

Today's special, but today's special I was starting to age out A little bit When it started But I did like Polka Dot Door Very very much

There was like That French like Clown Oh there was Jeremy Oh Saul Jeremy the bear Saul the clown Yeah Saul yeah

Kind of looked like Emmett Kelly But do you guys remember Jeremy the bear Of course I'm a bear Paddington bear as well Yeah what the fuck

Is the matter with you Of course we remember. Because you guys are in your 30s, so I wonder if it still translates to you guys. Early 30s. Stu was born in like 85? 91. 91. Anyway, Barb Paluskiewicz. You know, write

her a note. Barb at CDN Technologies. And let her know you're interested in attending the Elvira webinar. When's that happening? And if you write her, she'll make sure that she gets you the link. It's happening later this month. It's happening later this month. So that's happening.

any quantity we want. It's safe, it's fast, it's economical, and it's good stuff. So thank you, stickeru. And for the first time, I was telling Cam this when he arrived a little earlier than you, Stu, and we were chatting, and I said, usually we start these things slow,

because Cam's first pick kind of sucks, right? No. It's a lot of foreplay. Season's change. So that first jam is a bit of a letdown and then half of Periscope disappears. I'm like, fuck this. But Cam's going to start

very, very strong tonight. Killer jams. Can't wait to hear everybody explain why their jam is a killer jam. Wait, before you do that. Yes, sir. I'm sorry. Never say sorry. Is there some way, is there like a spreadsheet that shows songs that we picked on other songs?

Is there like a playlist on Spotify? Isn't there something? Tyler Campbell, are you out there? Like, Tyler, are you watching? He's not saying anything. Tyler would be the guy for that. I don't know if he has it or not, but he does maintain all the kick out the jams when people come over and kick out their jams.

Because I want an apology before the end of this episode. I know what songs I picked. Yeah, but I know what songs you picked. I have the... Well, actually, you DM them to me, so it would be a pain in the... Oh, that's what I could do. The search?

Yeah, the search, by the way, the search in Twitter DM kind of sucks. I feel like there needs to be a better search. Well, I mean, yeah. Because when people send things to me in DMs it's almost like it's impossible to find again but if it's in Gmail it's easy to find. But that's like an email

program versus something that's like a bulletin. I'm not saying they're equals. I'm just letting you know because you can pass it on. It's a micro blog. I'm a power user of the Twitter service. Keep killing time guys. Can I kick out this first jam? No.

Absolutely, killing time. I would like to kick out the first jam, please. Let's kick out the jam, and we can do that between jams. Don't worry, lots of time. This is Cam Gordon's first killer jam. Thank you. We'll be right back. I can't seem to face up to the facts I'm tense and nervous and I can't relax Can't sleep cause my bed's on fire Don't touch me, I'm a real live wire

Psycho killer Cascade Far, far, far, far, far, far, far better Run, run, run, run, run away Psycho killer Cascade Ironically, this song was initially, the original trailer for Faking a Murder was cut to this song. Really? Obviously, we couldn't afford the song, but we wanted to.

Yeah. It would have been an inspired choice, of course. This song has stood the test of time. This is, of course, Psycho Killer by the Talking Heads. Holds up, man. Sounds great. Going back to 1977, the year that, contrary to his IMDb page, Two Stone and I were both born.

This song, not really a hit. Went to number 92 on the Billboard Hot 100. Interestingly enough, the highest place it charted, and we could tie this into eddie van halen was in the netherlands right because he's indonesian yeah he was born in the the netherlands so this one went to number 11 in the netherlands number 19 in belgium bigger hit in europe um and again released in december 1977. Summer of Sam. Well, a bunch of fun facts.

That's a good segue into the first one. David Byrne, singer of the Talking Heads, who grew up partially in Hamilton, Ontario. 1236 has talked about this. Wisebutt, leave a comment. Tell us if we're on the right track. Yeah, let's do a check on that. But apparently not about Son of Sam at all, even though this song came out December of the year

after the summer of the Son of Sam. Yeah, it's 77. Right shortly after the three-home-run game for Reggie Jackson. That's right. What David Berkowitz. Yes, David Berkowitz. The dog told him to do it. Yeah, exactly.

So David Byrne described this as the inspiration was trying to write a Randy Newman-type ballad as sung by Alice Cooper. So think of that as you will. This is actually a live televised version of the Talking Heads playing this on the old gray whistle test. Yeah, it's not the studio version. No, so this is like a little studio. It's tiny but slow. There's a little differences along the way.

Yeah, and I feel like it rocks a bit harder um i was watching this one day on youtube and then it suggested right after roxy music playing love is the drug on the same program and it really struck me is that y'all rock no that's definitely not y'all rock but it sort of struck me how similar love is the drug by roxy music and psycho killer by talking sort of struck me how similar Love is the Drug by Roxy Music and Psycho Killer by Talking Heads are, and also how similar David Byrne and Brian Ferry kind of looked. Right.

Kind of the short, dark hair. They also kind of sound the same sometimes. Yeah, kind of that chirpy. Okay, I'm going to come in hot with these. Okay, four more fun facts. Talking Heads, this was the first. They played a number of times in Toronto facts um talking heads this was the first they played a number of times in toronto over the years this was the first song they played at a local appearances including the heat wave festival which is at most part park out by oshawa in 1980 at the police

picnic at the cne in 1982 that's a good gig that's's a Gary's gig. Yeah, that also featured, in addition to The Police, The English Beat, Joan Jett and the Blockhearts, and FOTM's here, the Spoon, or sorry, Spoons. I think they're okay with either, but yeah. Interestingly, you know, we talked about Van Halen, how they like kind of survived the 70s and became MTV stars. Talking Heads, shockingly, can claim the same thing. I mean, Psycho Killer and the late 70. Talking Heads, shockingly, can claim the same thing. I mean, Psycho Killer in the

late 70s, Talking Heads songs certainly charted at number 90 or whatever he said, but Once in a Lifetime is like mid-80s. Yeah, like Burning Down the House. Same as it ever was. They had ones with the little kids in the suits, whatever that one was.

So, yeah. Killer Band. Killer Jam. So, three more three more fun it's a great big story yeah three more i love this i love this yeah so so this song's been covered many times the original version i submitted to mike was actually a cover version by velvet revolver i never knew they covered it yeah are you sure it's not stone temple pilot no it's definitely velvet revolver and it wasn't great uh fish has covered this live many times. Cage the Elephant, as well as Thornhill's own Moxie Fruvis. So a little Gian Gomeshi singing Psycho Killer. There was an exchange on Twitter where someone said

Thornhill's greatest actor has a new movie coming out. That's me they were referring to. I thought it was Hayden Christensen. My apologies. And the only Hayden of note from Thornhill is Hayden the singer. Hayden Desser. What do you have against Hayden Christensen? He's a nice guy.

I don't have anything against him, but I'm just saying Hayden. Do you want to know his box office totals? I don't think that it had to do with him. Yeah. I think it was like in spite of him. Right. I will say though. Although Jumper was kind of a good movie.

Do you remember Jumper? I remember Little Italy. Okay. was kind of a good movie. Do you remember Jumper? I remember Little Italy. Okay, someone tweeted Ice-T Cop Killer today. Apparently that song, Ice-T Claims, was partially inspired by Psycho Killer. I saw that.

Well, you're a spoiler there. Let things unfold. Okay, and final fun fact. This better be fun. Yeah, no, this is good. So Mike, you and I, before we started recording, we're talking about Selena Gomez and the song Bad Liar. Yeah, samples the Psycho Killer.

Yeah, this is actually, I'm going to do a blog post about this, completelyignored.com, but songs that sampled other songs and what has more streams. So Psycho Killer, the original version by Talking Heads. That's never going to be fair, though, because streaming is a new thing. These 70s bands can't compete. I'll keep it balanced. Anyway, for comparison, Psycho Killer by Talking Heads on Spotify.

Shout out to Ivan Behar. 169 million streams. Not bad. Bad Liar by Selena Gomez. 414 million streams. So there you go. A lot of fun facts, Psycho Killer. Good way to open

the show. About time. Took 30 weeks for Cam to come to start strong. He finally figured it out. I would like to point out that I'm owed a semi-apology. From whom? From you two goons. Well, let's hear it. I have tracked down the direct message exchange and

that eruption song did appear on a Pandemic Friday selected by me. I just got the episode wrong. And that Eruption song did appear on a Pandemic Friday selected by me. I just got the episode wrong. But that episode, we remember it was a glaring omission. What episode was it? The Family Bands episode, Eruption was chosen, along with Oasis,

Beach Boys, Bee Gees, Black Crows. Those were my picks for the Family Bands. Okay, I don't think you get a partial apology. Also, I picked a Van Halen song after that, Hot for Teacher for School Jams as well. Eruption, though, was picked by me. I knew I picked it. I just was wrong about which episode.

Okay, so we distinctly remembered Cam and I. So I get a partial apology. Eruption was overlooked on the There Are No Words episode. So we're all right. Well, because we had just heard it like two weeks prior. Well, yeah, we're all correct on this one.

Stu, do you have any foreword before I kick out your first jam? Do I have a foreword? It's a little know and diddy that I think people probably won't know what the hell it is.

I've probably never heard it before. You know, a lot of people as soon as you listed out that we were going to be kicking out killer jams in honor of Faking a Murder coming out October 14th, everybody was tweeting out this band and their track, Killer Queen.

Everybody was saying, Queen, Killer Queen. So I had to go out there and respect the people, but I still had to pick a better killer jam, in my opinion. Is this the real life? Is this just fantasy? had to pick a better killer jam in my opinion. Killer jams. I'm with Stu on this one. It's a good one. It's like in the first line of the song. Yeah.

I just killed a man. He said I don't want to die at some point in this song. But I just killed a man. He said, I don't want to die at some point in this song. But I just killed a man. That's murder. Yes. Technically. That's killing. Technically.

In the name of. Magic. We could be kicking that out for the third episode in a row. Yeah. Rather not. And I kicked it out of Wise Blunt. What a gem. I love this song. Every time I hear it,

I hear new production elements, you know? It's better with the cans on. Is someone having a campfire? I wish. I think so.

I smell it. Either that or one. John has burning bodies. That'd be good for Killer Jam. She's the killer and... Oh, that's a...

I'm thinking of other jams I should have played. He just said the line he killed a man. Yeah, but I think everybody knows a jam. This is definitely a killer jam. Were you thinking like Disarm?

Killer and Me? No, I was thinking of... I didn't think of that. Fuck, I would have played that song. You know what I was thinking of? I used to be a little boy. Alice in Chains, The Killer is Me.

Right? Is that The Killer is Me from Dirt? I used to love her I had to kill her I thought of that one But let's play it out So this is Bohemian Rhapsody folks

If you don't know Bohemian Rhapsody A killer jam By a British rock band Queen Written by Freddie Mercury From the band's 1975 album A Night at the Opera It's a six-minute song consisting

of several selections that is sort of an answer to the popular music of the time, prog rock. This was a more stomachable, radio-friendly prog rock. Stomachable. Stomachable. I'm just reading what's written on the page, folks. Looks like Edith

Golden Corral. One of these kind of songs that had second, third, fourth lives. I mean, when it first came out, the record company, if you ever watched the movie Bohemian Rhapsody, you know, the record label didn't want to put it out. And they did put it out. It went to

number one. And then it went to number one again in 1991 after Freddie Mercury's death. It topped the charts for five more weeks. But in the UK, right? And then in 1992, it reached a new peak in America after being in the film Wayne's World. And I feel like we've heard this song on Pandemic Fridays already as well. Probably.

This is Bohemian Rhapsody. And it was a song that's been inducted into the Grammy Hall of Fame. And yada, yada, yada. Great fucking song. Quite the jam. Killer song, and I think maybe in the last few years, I don't know, Cam, maybe you can clarify this, but I remember seeing some event, possibly emanating from England, where it's like a live big show that's in between bands and they're playing this song

over the loudspeakers. The entire audience sings along. 200,000 people start going crazy for this song and singing along. I don't know. You probably haven't seen it then. Did you just belch? No. Did you happen to... Do you know what I'm talking of? This sounds familiar.

I'll have to find that clip but it's quite spectacular. I've seen this clip. It's cool. It gives you goosebumps Did you happen to, do you know what I'm talking of? This sounds familiar, yeah. I'll have to find that clip, but it's quite spectacular. I've seen this clip. Yeah, it's cool. It gives you goosebumps watching it. Is this like a fan, like just on a cell phone? No, it's just like the hard cam that's in between acts. Yeah, I know what you're talking about. This definitely is.

please. Do you have like any kind of theory on like what this song's about? Like is it the guy that had to kill somebody and he's now like in purgatory between heaven and hell?

Like what's the story here? Oh, because there's reference to Beelzebub. Yeah. I think there's reference to Beelzebub. Yeah. I think there's just like three songs put together. Not quite Jesus of Suburbia. Not quite the Bat Out of Hell. Paradise by the Dashboard Light.

Yeah, Paranoid Android too. Now, is it possible the song might be, as great as it is, it might be a titch overexposed, overplayed? I just feel like I'm not sure I need to hear it anymore. Considering Critical Reaction was initially mixed, Bohemian Rhapsody has become Queen's most popular song and is considered one of the greatest rock songs of all time. The music video came out seven years

before MTV. So that was pretty groundbreaking stuff because no one was really making music videos back then. And the music video for Bohemian Rhapsody with their four you know, everybody knows that video now. And then they just took that video and put in some Wayne's World clips, and they had another high-rotation video for MTV and Rich Music. That was a real thing from, like, movie soundtracks and stuff,

where you just, like, insert a clip. Like, I Will Walk 500 Miles. The Proclaimers. The Benny and June soundtrack. It's interesting you said that this song might be overexposed. In December 2018, Bohemian Rhapsody became the most streamed song from the 20th century. It has been downloaded

and streamed over what is that number? One billion? One billion times? 1.6 billion times? A lot of fucking times, if that could be possible. Wow. So, yeah, 1.6 billion times as of 2018. So this is the most streamed song from the 1900s.

Yes. I guess that would make sense. I'm not shocked by it, but... I'd love to know the top five. I'm surprised it's not like a Michael Jackson song or something, like from Thriller or something. Based on a mixtape that I once made back in the day, whenever I hear the end of Bohemian Rhapsody,

like, anywhere the wind blows, I totally, in my mind, expect Hold on little girl Come here, what just got for you Oh my God Because Mr. Big, To Be With You Soft jams by hard bands

Yeah, that came on after Bohemian Rhapsody on my mixtape I was going to say like the third charting time of Bohemian Rhapsody Can anyone on this, I was going to say anyone on the Zoom call Can anyone here in this backyard tell me a second song by Mr. Big I just want to know a second song by Mr. Big Can either of you guys name one I was going to say

Cats in the Cradle That was Ugly Kid Joe Different band I feel like they had a cover Which? Mr. Big I don't think so but I can't say for sure Ugly Kid Joe had that other song band. I feel like they had a cover. Weren't they a Christian band? Which? Mr. Big? I don't think so, but I can't say for sure. But Ugly Kid Joe had that other song,

Everything About You. I hate everything about you. And to finish the communications loop on something I kind of spit out briefly, Alice in Chains, the song I'm thinking of, is called Killer Is Me. It would be very appropriate tonight. Killer Is Me by Alice in Chains. The rooster? Oh, it's a stepdad, right? he a murderer i can't remember they found a way to kill me yeah yeah right right

or yet okay so mr big's second biggest heart was or sorry second biggest song was something called just take my heart Do you remember this? No. Their first other single included Addicted to That Rush, Green Tinted 60s Mind, which is sort of stupid. Love that jam. Somebody kicked that out of an FOTM KCJ. Oh, they did a cover of Wild World.

Oh, Cat Stevens. Yeah, okay. I'm sorry, if it's not Maxi Priest, I want nothing to do with it, okay? Killer Priest. By the way, who. I'm sorry. If it's not Maxie Priest, I want nothing to do with it, okay? Yeah. Killer Priest. By the way, who... Bounty Killer. Speaking of... Ghostface Killer. Speaking of Johnny Nash, like

it's going to be a bright, sunshiny day. Someone did a cover of that in the 90s. Was it Jimmy Cliff? Yeah, Holly Cole. Except for not the CanCon version. Oh. I feel like Jimmy Cliff did a cover of that that hit the charts. Am I imagining this? Yeah, I just, the Resurgence, I recall, is the CanCon version.

When the Holly Cole trio. No, because there was, like, commercials. Have a subdued version. There was, like, commercials for, like, sandals or something that used, like, the 90s song that you're talking about. Like, come visit us in where people, you know, one of those, like, hedonism commercials. Yeah, to combat, like, hands up. S to combat like hands up sway sway right right right okay uh yeah for club med ads uh are you guys ready for me to kick out my first jam yeah sure just pretend you are okay it's my show come on let me do one okay put on some pants oh Oh. great opening line

and nobody's gonna go to school today she's gonna make them stay at home and daddy doesn't understand it he always said she was good as gold And he can see no reasons Cause there are no reasons What reason do you need to be shown? Tell me why I don't like Mondays Tell me why

I don't like Mondays Tell me why I don't like Mondays I wanna shoot The whole day down Is the word killer somewhere in here? You don't need the word killer in the song. It has to be killer jams.

Yeah, you don't need the word killer. I thought you did, because all my songs have the word kill or killer. That was unnecessary. Did you do that too, Kim? Generally, but this qualifies, because this is like a school shooting or something, isn't it? The songs have to be about killing, but they don't have the word killer. I see.

I thought they did. So all of my artists and songs have killer, killer, which is fine. Mine don't. This song, so if you think school shootings in the States is a fairly recent phenomenon, you're incorrect. school shootings in the States is a fairly recent phenomenon, you're incorrect because this is from in 1979 there was a school shooting in San

Diego. The school was called Cleveland Elementary School and the 16 year old who did the shooting was a young lady named a young woman named Brenda Ann Spencer and she fired at children in a school playground

and she killed two adults. She hit but did not kill eight children. How old was the shooter? 16. Brenda Ann Spencer was 16. Why is she shooting kids? Well, good question, Stuart Stone. They asked her, like, why are you shooting kids here at this school?

And she showed zero remorse, no remorse at all. And she said, I don't like Mondays. This livens up the day. That was her quote. Quote. Wow. I don't like Mondays.

This livens up the day. That's not cool. And then you heard that first line by Bob Geldof in the song about the chip inside her head stuck on overload. Is this the same Bob Geldof, like live aid Bob Geldof? This is he. This is he. And this was the biggest hit the Boomtown Rats ever had. So how come he was like so, not that, I'm just wondering from you guys,

like why was he such a well-respected guy that he could pull the trigger, pun intended, and get, you know, all these famous artists together? Like why was he such a beacon of togetherness? Are the Boomtown Rats like the Beatles that I'm unaware of? No, no. This is the big jam for the Boomtown Rats. Did he do something else that I don't know about?

I feel like they were just popular enough that you could pull something. Yeah, people would take their calls. Like, oh, Bob Geldof's calling me on the phone. That means that you answer when Bob calls you. Right. Well, the big first one was the Christmas one with Bono and everybody. Do they know it's Christmas?

That was the first big one. So I guess once you have that, which made a lot of money for the charities, I guess once you've done that, now you can go do like Live Aid. Well, this is an example, Mike. We were talking before Stu arrived about bands and artists that would be seen as one hit wonders which i think in north america the boomtown rats probably are seen as a one-hit wonder even though they had other songs that charted bingo quite high they probably had a lot of hits in the uk yeah like looking out for number one and banana like these were pretty sizable like new wave wave hits. So it's not like they were obscure or anything.

No, but this is their one big North American hit. And so the reason he wrote about this song is because he read, you guys know what a telex report is? Before fax? Yeah, it's like a, not a Morse code, but kind of like that. Yeah, it's like a ticker. It's like a fax machine before fax machines. And he read a Telex report at a Georgia State University campus radio station

about this shooting by 16-year-old Brenda Ann Spencer. And that quote was in there. I don't like Mondays. This livens up the day. And then he went off and wrote, I don't like Mondays. I always thought that sounded like a show tune. Like, I quite like that song. Like, tell me more, tell me more, but like a dark version.

Very dark. Brother Neil is chiming in. What does Brother Neil have to say? He knows a lot of stuff. He's saying that the Johnny Nash song that Cam was speaking of, the cover, was in Cool Runnings with John Candy. Okay. And also there was a reggae cover of Wild Wild Life,

the Talking Heads song, which was also in that movie. Really? Who covered it? Was it Johnny Nash or was it Jimmy Cliff? I feel like it was Jimmy Cliff. I remember a video of him like in a field somewhere. Huh. Maybe, maybe, maybe, maybe.

Whereas Rome Phone is saying, Dear Stu, stop. I don't like Mondays. Stop. Maybe he's saying I'm right because it doesn't have the word killer in it, maybe? It doesn't have to have the word killer. It has to be a killer jam. I guess I misunderstood.

All of my songs have the word killer or kill in somewhere along. It's about songs where someone's, someone kills something. Yeah, I wish I knew that because I could have picked other songs. Okay, so here's one of, this was going to be one of my songs I took it out. So I'm going to pose this to Stu. I should have picked other songs.

I hate my choices now. I want to go on the record. I hate my choices. You can call Audibles on the line of scrimmage and go to YouTube. You can. I got YouTube. But I'm not going to do that. But my last fun fact before we turn the channel on Booth Comrades is that

if you ask Bob Geldof today if he regrets writing this song I Don't Like Mondays, which I think is a great song by the way, he says yes. He regrets writing it because he made Brenda Spencer famous and that is his great regret. Wow, that's... Okay. So there you go. Okay, so what did you want to say

before I kick out Cam Gordon's second round? I was going to ask, one of my choices that I redacted was Suicide is Painless, perhaps more commonly known as the version of the MASH theme with lyrics. Johnny Mandel. Would that qualify

suicide? Songs about suicide? I don't think so. Murder? Murdering yourself? Killing yourself? Unless it says killing. I don't think so. First of all, not this jam, but unless it says killing. It doesn't have to say killing. First of all, not this jam, but the third jam by Cam Gordon doesn't have killing in it. It's about dying. It's kind of self-hatred. Right, so I think Cam, he's being a bit subtle because he doesn't want you to get angry at him.

Oh, I'm going to get angry. He's fully on board with me that the songs have to be about killing. I wish that had been explained. Well, you've got to start asking the right fucking questions. with me that the songs have to be about killing. I wish that had been explained. You gotta start asking the right fucking questions. The listeners obviously had the same opinion as me. Everybody was tweeting Killer Queen

and songs with the word kill. Killer Queen is a killer. And the Killjoys and Kill Kill Kill. Oh, Killjoys. In fact, the final jam from Cam Gordon also is not a... I'm trying to think. There's that band The Kills.

Yeah, and there's, of course, Killer. The Killers. The Killers, of course. Yeah, there's Doug Gilmore. Does he have a band? The Killers. Okay, let's kick out, and we'll keep talking. Oh, Toronto rapper Killy.

Do you know him? Juno-dominated rapper, Killy. I'm going to check into it. Okay, this is the second jam by Cam Gordon. This is a classic. I mean, this is not a... Shh. Save it, Stu. I'm with you,

but let's save it. This is like the police jam. It's more like a metaphorical killing. Trust me, I'm loaded. I'm loaded up over here. You guys don't know that. You weren't there. This is not a killer jam. Killing softly. I feel like you've also played this song before too.

He really likes it maybe. I do like it. I like the Fuji's version as well. I've kicked out a few songs multiple times. We're at episode 30, Stu. There's only so many songs we love. I'm all for repeats. We're running out of songs.

I do like the Fuji's version was explosive. Well, Cam likes Roberta Flack. We'll come to that in a second. I do like this, though. Okay. It's like a girl from Ipanema type of vibe.

I was going to say, very herp-alpert. Wow. Hey. Wow. Hey. And so I came to see him to listen for a while. One time, one time. And there he was, this young boy, a stranger to my eyes. Strumming my face with his fingers.

One time, one time. Singing my life with his words. Two times, one time. Singing my life with his words. Two times, two times. Killing me softly with his song. Killing me softly with his song. Telling my whole life with his words. Killing me softly with his song. Okay, so this is Roberta Flack.

Can you just say it a little bit more NPR style? Like Ira Glass? What are you looking for here? A little bit more like, hello, this is Roberta. Can we have a little Roberta Flack? How about Venus Flytrap? Can you do Venus Flytrap? Let's go back to 1971.

Killing Me Softly by Roberta Flack. I can't. I don't have a radio voice. You do know it's not a real killing here. This is a metaphorical. It's a soft killing. A soft. Illegal jam.

I'm calling it. Do I have a buzzer? I need a fucking buzzer. I don't think it's an illegal jam because it has the word killing in the title. Thank you. It's amazing how we can hear a topic so differently. I don't think we talked about this topic beyond what was recorded in the last episode.

So we can go back to the tapes. Okay. I got the receipts. Not to bring it down a bit, is Roberta Flack alive? No. No, I think she passed away. So Mother Nature killed her?

Is that what you're saying? All right, John Tesh. We're going to allow it because she's no longer alive. Yeah. Was she killed? How did she die? That we don't know.

God killed her. Okay, here's some facts about this song. Number one hit, Canada, US, Australia. Big jam. Big jam. The trifecta of terror. Thank you, Kevin Sullivan. What was his group? It was like kamala like shark and all

those guys all the dungeon of doom dungeon of doom thank you um so this song anyway mike talk amongst yourself um are you gonna give us a fact yeah no i'm just, I'm a bit confused by this. Big jam. No, she was inspired to perform by a performance by fucking Don McLean. American Pie. Or maybe Starry Starry Night. Yeah, which is kind of sad. Not to be confused

with John McLean. Yeah. Shoot the glass. Yeah, so this song was composed by a guy named Charles Fox with lyrics by Norman Gimbel. Norman Gimbel? Norman Gimbel?

And G. And the lyrics were also written in collaboration with Laurie Lieberman. To be honest, is this a relation to Mark Lieberman? Jeff Lieberman. So Lieberman was the first to record this song in 1971. Oh, that's a fun fact. Seems like a cover of a cover.

Yeah, so went nowhere. The song was offered to speaking of dying. Helen Reddy. Oh, recently passed away. You kicked out once. Kicked out. The protest music. Wow.

By the way, I was thinking like two life crew band in the USA could have been on that. Sure. But there's so many great protest songs. Anyway, Helen Reddy passed on the song. And passed away. and then she passed another like 40 years later this is a killer jam yeah but she was saying the demo sat on my turntable for months without being played because i didn't like the title maybe she thought it was too like violent right and stuff sure um so obviously you know popularized years later in

the mid 90s by the fujis i never knew this about the Fugees version. It sampled Bonita Apple. Yeah, come on. Was that known? Yeah, come on. I guess that makes sense. Come on. Okay. So anyway, that version went to number one in US. Surprisingly, it was not even a top five hit

in Canada. Peaked at number six. I thought that was like the song of the summer that year. Are you talking about Fuji's? Yes. Yeah. I'm surprised that wasn't. I remember going to, uh,

like that was every much music jam. Then big top parties, bar mitzvahs, weddings, people would sing along. It was even Brian master was spinning it. Oh yeah. Yeah.

Multi-format hit. Uh, just a monster jam. And Lauren Hill, uh, you know, this could be a true example of a cover that's better than the original, maybe.

Which, if we haven't kicked, if we haven't done it, that's the obvious topic at some point. Covers that are better than the originals. You know, Jimi Hendrix has one. There's a whole bunch of covers that are better than the originals. Aretha Franklin has one. Mr. Big has one. Well, technically, you could play Killing Me Softly twice on that episode

Because maybe the Roberta Flack version Is better than the original Yeah I think it's been covered like many times I think you should cover it I think you should I think the stone movement I would do it with you Oh boy

Shout out to Andy Pandy and Beck Who are now... Oh, shout out. Yeah, they're great FOTMs. David Alter's name came up today on the episode I did with Blake, because he's with The Athletic. Blake Murphy. Blake Murphy, because Alter was the first hire for Athletic Toronto, I think.

Was he? He predated the guy who came over from the Globe, Myrtle. Oh, Myrtle. He's also a Twitter Canada alumni. So, for the next pick, first off, shout out to DJ Lethal who's watching. You know what? Shout out to DJ Lethal. What a talent.

We played his song last week. Now I can't even put a sentence together if I know he's listening. We played his song last week or two weeks ago. But anyway, my next jam here on Killer Jams, this band has been played one other time before on our show, and all of us took a big dump on them. I know. It was Bad Songs by Good Bands?

What was that topic? I don't remember, but this is a band that— Cello Jams. This is also a band that forced their way onto our iPhones many moons ago. And some of us haven't figured out how to get them off. And like Bob Geldof. Somebody requested this song or had us play like a... I forget how, but we were definitely taking massive dumps all over this band.

If you play Disco Tech, I'm definitely taking massive dumps all over this band. Honestly, if you play discotheque, I'm fucking leaving. So the reason I brought up David Alter is because his favorite song of all time is discotheque. But this is the jam that Steve's doing. Not my favorite song. Again, I don't like my picks because I went with- You can call audibles on the last game. I'm not going to call an audible. Go to YouTube and play what you want. I'm going to stick with what brought me to the dance.

Oh, wow. I kind of like this one. It's from the Batman soundtrack. They have Batman 3. Oh, 3. Joel Schumacher. Okay, good pick. Didn't he die recently?

Yeah, he died recently. A couple years ago. Or is he Qu recently? Yeah, he died recently. A couple years ago. Or is he Quibi? Who is Quibi? Joel Schumacher died. Okay. It was like the early 80s, I think. Yeah.

Is Quibi Katzenberg? Who's Quibi? Yeah, Jeffrey Katzenberg. They're like already looking to sell. The word Quibi is in Faking a Murder. I don't know if you caught that. But if you watch it again on your second watch, listen for it. Well, I have to wait until the 14th to watch it again.

At least right. So I guess I can just talk because who cares, right? And I know that Cam likes it. I actually don't like this song. But it was another big much music hit. I don't mind it. This is from like the Mysterious Ways kind of era of U2.

Mysterious Ways is Octung Baby. This feels later to me. This does feel like a B-side they dusted off for a soundtrack, which I think is probably what it was. Well, I'll tell you how this song came to be if you'd like to know. We are listening to the band U2.

The song is called Hold Me, Thrill Me, Kiss Me, Kill Me. He takes things very literally. This is a single from the Batman Forever soundtrack. June 1995. A number one single in Ireland.

Not here though. But in Ireland. Big hit in Ireland. If you'd like to know U2's involvement with the soundtrack, give me a hell yeah Hell yeah It began when Joel Schumacher, who took over directing duties from Tim Burton, who produced the movie He tried to create a cameo for Bono in the movie as McFisto in Batman Forever The character was intended to appear at a party scene, although they tried to make it happen.

They all came to agree that it was not suitable for the film. It was taking attention away to have Bono show up in a scene. And that was such a serious movie, you didn't want to take attention away from the drama. Those Schumacher Batmans were just campy as hell. Of course, Batman Forever is the Superhero. Batman Forever is the 1995 Batman film, the third installment of that trilogy. Val Kilmer replaced Michael Keaton as Bruce Wayne.

Tommy Lee Jones, Jim Carrey, Nicole Kidman, Chris O'Donnell, blah, blah, blah. There was a soundtrack that was executive produced by The RZA of Wu-Tang Clan. And somehow only five songs from the soundtrack are actually in the movie. But notably, Hold Me, Thrill Me, Kiss Me, Kill Me by U2, Kiss from a Rose by Seal. Big one. Both on that soundtrack. Also, The Flaming Lips, Brandy, The Offspring, Method Man, Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds, Michael Hutchins, PJ Harvey and Massive Attack also appear on this soundtrack

which maybe I'll have to check it out again but there is a putting that together and we all know U2 and they usually get dumped on around these parts but there's a song by Seal that would have been perfect tonight. Kill him. Right, that's Seal. Was that his song? Yeah, Killer, right? Like Seal. You thinking crazy? by Seal that would have been perfect tonight. Killer. Right. That's Seal, right? Was that his song? Yeah, Killer, right?

By Seal. You thinking Crazy? Yeah. That's not called Killer. That's called Crazy. We're never going to survive unless we get a little Killer. There's a song.

Give me a second. I think we will. Hold on. There's a Seal Killer. We get a little Killer. Don't club the Seals. Don't club the Seals. I've been killed by a rose.

Shout out to Mars. Yes, Seal had a big hit called Killer, according to Brother Neil. Yeah, Adamski. Yeah, this was a huge hit. It was a big hit. Yes, yes. Yeah, I'm pretty sure it was on your first list of songs. Yeah, yeah, yeah.

Killer was a big hit. So that was a cover, that song I sang, by George Michael. Yeah, that's a cover. I want you to really crank this for one second here because I really, you can hear like, there's like a symphonic orchestra

playing with them. Can you hear it? Yeah. So that's going to come into play later because this was influenced by another one of my picks. Wow.

This part right here. Someone should sample. Lethal, you should sample this part. Oh. And there you go. Inspired clearly by In Excesses Never Tear Us Apart. U2 was picked. Let it be known.

Let the record show. I'm going to kick out my second jam. It is from an album I think I reference every third Pandemic Friday because I love this album so much,

but I don't think I've ever kicked out a jam from this album until right now. Is this Judgment Day? Outro Music Who are they teamed up with on this? Can I guess? Is it like typo negative or something weird? Cam's going to guess. Is this Anthrax?

No, good guess. No, they already did Anthrax. That was Turn It Up. Yeah, right. Oh, it's Biohazard. No, good guesses though. Biohazard is on his no anthrax did bring the noise of public energy

yeah that's what I meant faith no more this is faith no more with Booyah Tribe what a collaboration like everything on Judgment Night and even hearing it now I'm back in 1993 when I would just play this

fucking CD over and over again. Ironically, DJ Lethal, who is writing in the Periscope right now, that Just Another Victim was his song on that soundtrack. That, which was fucking fed with House of Pain, of course. And Everlast was in the movie, he says. Are you serious? I need to see this.

He says Just Another Victim was off that soundtrack. Just Another Victim. Just Another Victim. I think it was the opening track, I think. Which I think Lethal produced. It was... The whole thing is fucking good. Like, honestly, there's some Sonic Youth with Pearl Jam.

There's... Sure. Well, yeah, there's Cypress Hill. You guys say Cypress Hill. Teenage Fan Club's on there. Ice-T's on there. Like, all the greats. Onyx.

Remember Onyx? Onyx, sure. Slam! It's a boy, big boy. So anyway, I fucking loved Judgment Night. Not to be confused with the new podcast from Lorne Honigman. That's called Judgment Day. Okay, now available in your podcatchers.

You can pause this and subscribe. Judgment Night, the fucking, forget the movie, mediocre, okay. I'm glad that Everlast was in it or whatever. But the soundtrack was killer. And this is a great killer jam. Sorry, I'm just trying to get a screenshot of DJ Lethal.

The periscopes are recorded, though. You can literally replay it when you get home. Lethal is now saying he scratched on that Cypress Hill Pearl Jam track. He did the scratches on it. Yeah. And I think Cypress Hill, I think, does Double Duty because they do the song with

I Love You Mary Jane. With Sonic Youth, right? With Sonic Youth, yeah. Here to come by to get me high. Yeah, my cousin, Kim Gordon. Yeah. Oh, fuck it. Back in 1993, where I belong. Do you guys like them? I kind of like the movie, too. The movie got panned, but I think it's back in 1993 where I belong do you guys like them? I kind of like the movie too

the movie got panned but I think it's pretty fun I remember I distinctly remember liking the soundtrack more than the movie I don't remember the movie being spectacular I remember the soundtrack being way better than the movie that's my memory

when you're doing the delta between a soundtrack and a movie this one wins and if you look at rock and rap together it's possible now we can maybe That's my memory. That's a given. When you're doing the delta between a soundtrack and a movie, this one wins. Big cap. And if you look at rock and rap together, it's possible. Now, we can maybe get Lethal to confirm this, but maybe his idea to fuse rock and rap together for Limp Bizkit came from doing the soundtrack. If we can get that, we have a... Maybe he can confirm that his inspiration for...

See, when I think of the fusion, I always think... For new metal. You got Run DMC and Aerosmith, which blows up, right, with Walk This Way. And that was like your first, that's the first one in my memory bank anyways. He does agree that the movie was meh.

That's a good word for it. It is the meh of movies, okay? And the soundtrack is just epic. I was just little. So shout out to DJ Lethal. What a great fucking set. Do you guys know the wrestler Samoa Joe? Of course.

That's my boy. Well, for a while anyways, he used this song as his entrance theme for a while. So, sorry, you might just say. So he used the song that you just played? Yeah, the song I just played. Oh, because I know he also used Simon Says also. So Another Body Murdered is my second killer jam and finally kicked out a jam from the Judgment Night. I gotta say, the comment section

is on fire tonight. You got the celebs in there today. Wow, should I just give you a couple more lethal things? Of course. He's saying a lot right now.

You gave his brother a fucking kneel. Give him some DJ lethal. I'll leave. He's basically saying ish, like it kind of influenced him,

ish. Korn also was part of that process, he's saying, and Rage Against the Machine opened for House of Pain on their first tour they played at the concert hall future FOTM DJ Lethal

Rage Against the Machine and Corn opened for House of Pain the first tours they ever did there's a flyer vault it's kind of like that little Richard how he took the Beals and the Stones on tour Lethal took Corn and Rage Against the Machine on tour I love it he saysorn and Rage Against the Machine on tour. I love it.

He says that's where rap metal came from. I really like that first album by House of Pain quite a bit. I guess that makes sense what he's saying.

Like rap metal came from that tour because you had Korn and Rage opening for House of Pain. Top of the Morning to ya. Was that what it was called? Was that jam called Top of the Morning to ya? Yeah, House of Pain.

Yeah. Shamrocks and Shenanigans. No, not that one. It was a different one. That was like Boom. Yeah, yeah, that was different. That was good one too. So you have another killer jam? Good times.

All right. Let's kick out the third jam. And again, the K word does not appear in this jam because it's a song about killing or murder. That's what killer jams are. This is your CanCon. This is an FOTM. An FOTM is singing this song.

So here we go. Let's see if Stu knows this one. It might have been his LA years. He won't be happy with this. I don't recognize it yet. Probably never will. It's really an illegal jam, but we'll talk about it in a minute. I don't know this song it's like Chantal Kravetschik

or something rock's a bit too hard to be her. Fifi Dobson? Good guess. Getting closer. The best clue I can give you is it's an FOTM. Yeah. It's not Sestorian.

That doesn't help Stu, actually. That only helps Kim. Yeah. It's Bruce Croxon. I'm not really familiar with it. Sounds like Ashley Simpson. You're inching up to the goal line here. Ashley McIsaac?

Yeah, I'm just going to let the rat out of the bag here. So this is the Canadian rock band Joy Drop featuring FOTM. Tara Sloan? Tara Sloan? Tara. Tara Sloan. Sounds like a nice song. Also host of Roger's Hometown Hockey and a former host of Breakfast Television.

Really? That's her? I agree, yes. Yeah, Tara Sloan, yeah. Wow, good for her. She was a rock star first, and she was in that Rockstar in Excess, right? That's where she got discovered for the Breakfast Television gig in Calgary.

Yes, so the name of this song is Sometimes Want to Die. So this is a killer song because she sometimes wants to... Yeah, can I just chime in? Murder. So this is a killer song because she sometimes wants to. Yeah. Can I just chime in? Murder. So first killing me softly. These are terrible. I mean, you started so strong and now it's gone to shit.

Like this is not a killer jam. I sometimes want to die. She has suicidal thoughts. It's very sad, very tragic. But there's no. But this. Self-loathing. There's no big topic.

This is supposed to be murderous killing. This is for the fucking Stu Stone movie, Faking faking a murderer and you're kicking out this well i mean listen to the like the depth of the lyrics here i think you need to read between the lines i think you need to go back and just let this kind of simmer like in your essence let it wash over you that let the lyrics of sometimes i want to die by joy drop um but you know what mike joy drop formed because there was an ad in now max right right right that's the main thing here it's the guitarist was writing all the music yeah what's his name do you want to show i totally appreciate cam wanting to dedicate this song to my film fakinger. It's very sweet of him. Sometimes Wanna Die.

So this is from the band's first album, Metasexual, released in 1999. Released on Tommy Boy. Oh, there you go. If you could believe it. I'm not sure what the back... House of Pain was on Tommy Boy. I was going to say, famous rap. Was Kid and Play on Tommy Boy?

I feel like a bunch of stuff I have on Tommy Boy? I feel like, like, I feel like, uh, Daylight Soul, like. A bunch of stuff I have with Tommy Boy. Like an iconic late 80s, 90s hip hop song. You know what, Digital Underground? Probably. I think they were on Tommy Boy. Yeah.

All right, this was a pretty big, like, modern rock radio hit. And, and, and, I don't know when, I know I lose track when Stu's in LA, but, uh, you wouldn't hear this on much music. No, Andy Pandy says, uh, Andy Pandy in the chat says, love this song, but it is an illegal pick. Yeah, no, Pandy's correct once again. Andy's correct again. It is an illegal pick. It was short.

Damn, that's two illegal picks. It was short. You've only kicked out three jams. What was the other one? Killing Me Softly is an illegal pick, too. Well, at least it has the word killing in it. But that's not, it's killer jams, man. These are songs about killing, death, murder.

Another body murdered. My next song might be questionable. killing in it. But that's not, it's killer jams, man. These are songs about killing, death, murder, another body murdered. My next song might be questionable. I've got three more fun facts about this. And again, the song's done. Mike, do you know the website The Gate? Do you know what this is? No. Andrew Powell? I don't.

I know Colin Powell. But I do know that De La Soul and RuPaul were on Tommy Boy Records according to Lethal. Yes, that sounds about right. Anyway, if you don't know what The Colin Powell. But I do know that De La Soul and RuPaul were on Tommy Boy Records, according to Lethal. Yes, that sounds about right. Anyway, if you don't know what The Gate is... Was Digital Underground on Tommy Boy? No. Yeah. What were they on?

Sex Packets. Excuse me, trooper. Will you be needing any packets today? Yo, man, don't go pulling on my jacket, okay? Cool, just trying to get your attention so you can take a look at this invention. That was like the first appearance by... No, that's the same song. Yeah.

Which is for the soundtrack from that terrible Dan Aykroyd movie with... Ishtar? No, it's with Ashton Kutcher's ex in Demi Moore.

Nothing But Trouble? Yes, Nothing But Trouble. Oh, was it really? The soundtrack for Nothing But Trouble has the same song and in there is like Tupac's debut.

Yeah. Okay. So two more fun facts about... These are mainly about Tara's debut. Yeah. Okay. So two more fun facts about... These are mainly about Tara Sloan fun facts. Okay. One, I saw her once at Canadian Music Week open for Urge Overkill. Oh. And you know who is there watching Sidelines?

I think I've mentioned this before. Dave Foley from Kids in the Hall. So there you go. And okay. That's not a bad fun fact. That's why you picked that song? Tell us more about Elvis Stoico returning to VCR. This is insane.

Was it a forehead VCR? We'll do a separate episode on that. But maybe this will salvage his pick. I think it's the only time I've ever met Tara Sloan, who's great on Twitter. I was there with Christopher Doyle, who I think you've met. He used to be our sports leader at Twitter Canada.

Remember the World Cup of Hockey? Of course. So they had a concert series that was at the distillery Canada won that thing yeah and like Lenny Kravitz played one night and the other night I was there with Christopher Doyle and um Ali he used to work for Twitter and guess who was in the audience Tara Sloan we said hi to Tara nice to meet you she's a Buddhist by the Yeah, and then the band came on. You know who the band was? No, give me a second. Can I guess? Sure. Sloan. No, the Killers.

So there you go. Killers. Somebody, yeah, right, that would have been a better pick as a... So like the comment section, everyone's like in favor of this pick. They thought it was a good pick. They enjoyed the... I'm going to kick out Stu's third jam. Before you do that...

Before I do that, I just want to be clear with this. 66.7% of Cam Gordon's picks so far tonight are shit. Like just illegal jams. Not at all what we're looking for here. But... What about the next one?

The talking heads jam was great. I'm here to redeem everything with this next pick, which again, I wasn't... My picks were made because of the word killer, killer, or something like that. So let's just let this one roll. We're going to need to crank this one up. A post with slain is dead. Then why's it running to the wall and bang your head? I'm pushing force. I force your doubting.

I'm making devils cower to the caucus mountain. Well, I'm Messiah. I set the microphone on fire. Rap Styles Barry and carry like Mariah. I come from the Shaolin Slum. And the alley I'm from is coming through with nothing. Guns. See if you want to come sweating.

Stress and contesting. You got your soft sword to the midsection. Don't talk the talk. If you can't walk the walk. don't need to outline the chalk. I'm Mad Becks. It's what the projects make me. Rebel to the grain. There's no way to barricade me.

Steamroller is like an 18-wheeler with a drunk driver driving. There's no surviving. Rough like Timberland. We're here. Me and the clan, and yo, the Land Cruisers out there. Peace to all the crooks.

All the niggas with bad looks. Warhead braids. Blow this hook. We pack chrome checks. Nick will play the match. Black acts the niggas with bad looks. Poor head, braids, blows his hook. We've had chrome checks, Nick can play the match. Black acts, drug dealers, styles with fat stacks. Only been a good thing for a minute though, cause I gots to get my props and win it. Yo, I got beef with commercial ass.

Is it KT, Lampin' and Alexis? Is it the clean version you picked? Straight up and down on even parlor. I picked your link. Devastating. It's a little tinny. Yeah, it must be from the video.

That album like like the remaster. The reason why I picked it hasn't happened yet. It's coming though. Boom. Rapping in is what's happening Keep the pockets stacking in Hands clapping in At the party when I move my body Gotta get up and be somebody

Grab the microphone, put strength to the bone Down, down, down, into the Wu-Tang zone Sure enough, when I rock that stuff Huff, huff, I'm gonna catch your blood Tough, rough, kicking rhymes like Tim Kelly Or Alex Kelly, I'm a beat-up belly Rhymes coming raw style, hardcore You got me coming to the hip-hop store

Coming to buy grocery from me Turn up to be a hip-hop MC The law is over the end of the Wu-Tang You must bring the whole dirty bastard type slang Represent the jazza, abit, ruzza, shockworn It's best to deck dirty hole Getting low with the slow Introducing the Ghostface Killer This is Mystery of Chess Boxing,

which is named after a film. And here he is, Ghostface Killer, who was just introduced. I'm sorry, that's why it's a murder song? Because he introduced his actual name? Stand by. Don't worry, Tara Sloan's verse is coming. That would be quite the collab. Mystery of Chess Boxing, which was named after the film.

And ironically enough, Ghostface Killer got his name from the bad guy in that movie. How about that? Mind-blowing. That's a mind-blow for me. Ghostface Killer took his name from the movie Mystery of Chex Boxing, which is the name of this song, which is pretty awesome. Enter the Wu-Tang Clan. Everybody knows Enter the Wu-Tang Clan, one of the most essential records of the 90s.

Enter the Wu-Tang Clan, one of the most essential records of the 90s. People say that the gritty sound of Enter the Wu-Tang album is due at least in part to the use of cheap equipment they used to produce the album. That's my secret too. They were in such a small studio with so many members,

in order to decide who got to rap on what track, RZA would have them battle each other for a spot on the track. There is a track called Chef vs. Meth, I think it's called that, where it's Raekwon battling Method Man that ended up actually appearing on Method Man's album. Of course, Wu-Tang Clan, I'd be remiss not to mention Inspec-To-Deck, Ghostface Killer, The JZA, The Master Killer, Method Man, Old Dirty Bastard, The RZA, Raekwon, You God,

Ghostface Killer, Fun F Bastard, The RZA, Raekwon, You God. Ghostface Killer, fun facts. He was RZA's roommate, and he was the person that helped recruit the other members of Wu-Tang Clan. And fun fact, Ghostface Killer is a vegetarian. I thought that you'd like to know that. So not a cannibal. A killer track

because this is the debut of the Ghostface Killer himself. The real killer. Can we confer for a moment over here? If you listen to the lyrics, they talk about killing bad words that I'm not going to use. You can use them, but okay. I don't know.

If they do that, then if you could quote one. If Ghostface Killer can't be on killer tracks, then I'm packing up and leaving right now. You might as well just kick out Somebody Told Me You Had A Boyfriend. You could do that. No, you can't do that. The band's called The Killers. So meanwhile, young Tara Sloan's

sitting around pondering whether to leave the planet because she's despondent. Suicide is pain. Remember I pitched Suicide Gems? Johnny Mandel, yes. Johnny Mandel, who passed Mandel who passed away recently I mean I don't know, I have to think on that one for a bit

I do want to say that The chat room is exploding, they love it The fun fact that you dropped Stu about the U2 song You said it went to number one in Ireland I also wanted to point out that there was a connection Because the RZA produced the Batman Forever soundtrack And then the RZA obviously produced this song I do like that there was a connection because the RZA produced the Batman Forever soundtrack and then the RZA obviously produced this song. I do like that.

I just want to say Another Body Murdered, which was the second jam I kicked out, peaked. The best chart position they reached was in Ireland. So I just want to say they also Sorry, for House of Pain or for what? It was Booyah Tribe and Faith No More with Mike Patton there.

Another Body Murdered. Okay. So, we're going well. Are you guys ready for my third jam? Yes. Both Booyah Tribe and Faith No More with Mike Patton there. Another body murdered. Okay. So we're going well. Are you guys ready for my third jam? Yes. Yes. Whoa. Coming out hot.

Let's go. Let's go. That's good set. Das ist ja sick. Body count Correctamundo Moose man Ice tea and body count Of course this is a Cop killer Very very controversial Correctamundo. Moose Man. Ice-T and Body Count. Of course, this is Cop Killer. Very, very controversial.

If you remember when Cop Killer was released. You know, Ice-T's called it a protest record. You know, with all these protest records, I'm thinking of songs like Nirvana's Rape Me and songs like this, Not To Be Taken Literally. It was like the big Body Count like kind of single. It wasn't this. I think it was just called Body Count. Well, okay. On the Ice-T,

there was an Ice-T album I had that closed with the first song I ever heard from Body Count, which is Body Count. Oh, Body Count's in the house. Yeah, which is the big Martin Streak song, too. Right. That's a big, you're right. At the Phoenix late at night, they bring out Body Count. They do the shoutouts. Moose Man again. Motherfucking Ernie C. Ernie C. Yes, Ernie C Motherfucking Ernie C. Yes.

Ernie C. Right. Ernie C. That's right. That's Ice-T's guy. That was the big one. Yeah. Yeah.

Yeah. I remember another song that I'm not thinking of, but there was like a song that got like a little push. You know, like Body Count has like 10 albums.

Body Count's in the house. Body Count. I'm shocked by that. Yeah. Like they tour a lot. So we talked about rap-rock hybrid quite a bit tonight, and this is a great example, man. This is a great example.

Yeah, I mean, this is... Are we sure this is a good song? Well, no, it was a notable song for the fact that it was so controversial because it says cop killer. It's speaking about, you know, turning the tables, if you will. It's very kind of of its time, of today's time,

where we see cops killing black men. We see it on television at night. And this song flips the tables. And again, I don't think Ice-T was advocating killing cops, but this was the art form he chose to make his point. Okay, I stand corrected. They have five full-length albums, although they... What are their singles?

Body Counts in the House was the big one. Well, there's something called There Goes the Neighborhood. I mean, these are like official singles. I mean, Hey Joe, like kind of the... A cover? Standard, yeah. Wow. Yeah, so maybe this was like never officially a single.

I got to track down the Body Count cover. Actually, I see Cop was like never officially a single. I got to track down the Body Count cover. Actually, I see Cop Killer here, it just didn't chart. Well, they re-released this album and leave Cop Killer off of it because it raised such ire. Right. There was such a backlash.

Or they wouldn't stock it at Virgin Superstar. I think Tipper Gore and a bunch of people involved in this one. All the greats. Yeah, so Body Count actually put out an album on March 6th of this year. So right before the pandemic called Carnivore. Which is the opposite

of Ghostface Killer who's a vegetarian. Actually, it says here it's basically fuck vegans. We figure anything carnivorous pretty much kicks ass. We're carnivorous.

I'm not really saying fuck vegans. I'm not really saying fuck vegans. I'm not going to read the rest of this. This is rude. It's the first album to feature no songwriting credits for the aforementioned Ernie C. Yeah, he was the guy who wrote this song. Who's in his 60s now.

He's 61 years old. Let's bring it full circle. You and I chatted about this earlier, Cam, but this song was partially influenced by Psycho Killer by the Talking Heads. Which is great, because I mean, stylistically, very different. Cop Killer, Body Count.

It's very like that first Black Flag album with Henry Rollins. Like, that's what that kind of sounds like. I'm a liar. Sorry, there's a Beavis and Butthead I used to see all the time where they go at Henry Rollins, I'm a liar video. Okay. I think he deserves it.

Stu Stone. Oh, no, it's Cam. Sorry, it's not Stu Stone. Perfect choice because Fitzy just rejoined the chat. Okay, Fitzy can come back now. That body count's over. It's safe. Okay, do you want safe okay what uh do you

want to say anything or do you want to play it no let's just play it this is song uh let's just say this was uh featured in one of stewstone's big silver screen moments wow i'll be in a different version heavenly bodies it's not boys brigade just killing killing time close almost there killing moon a cover of it guitar solo Under the blue moon I saw you So soon you'll take me Up in your arms too late to beg you Cancel it though I know it must be

A killing time Unwillingly mine Faith Up against your will Is this like U2? Who is this? It's close. So this is... It does sound like U2 at this part.

Yeah, a little bit. So this is actually Pavement covering... Oh, is this Pavement? Yeah, so covering The Killing Moon. How about that? Yeah, so this was actually recorded at the BBC with John Peel. I mean, like in the mid-90s. I first heard this cover.

It was on a compilation that Pavement's label, Madder Records, put out. I started being in university when I didn't have many CDs and actually had this compilation because it was cheap. It was like the sampler. So you go buy all the other shit. That's why you buy Big Shiny Tunes. Yeah, exactly. It was probably like $6.99 for two CDs. So I'm like, sure. And I probably had like 10 CDs. like the sampler um so you go buy all the others that's why you buy big shiny tunes yeah exactly it was probably like 699 for two cds so i'm like sure and i probably had like 10 cds um but yeah

so anyway pavement covering uh the killing moon originally by echo and the bunnyman so this version's from again midnight i'd say this is like 96 the original version came out in January 1994. And famously in Johnny Darko. Wait, the original came out in 94? Sorry, in 1984. Yeah, I was going to say. 1984. Jesus, man. Stan Kersh.

Good catch, Dewstone. Chill out over there. Is Tara Sloan on this track? Yeah. Tara's lovely, by the way. I credit her. Nice lady. I didn't know that she was a rock star.

There you go. You didn't listen to her appearance on Charlie? I haven't yet, no. Wow. I was listening to Ben Mergey. Yeah. So again, this song... Not that kind of rabbi.

This song was famously in Donnie Darko featuring the gentleman to my left, Stu Stone. Stage right. Can we just let that simmer for a moment? Somebody from Donnie Darko, somebody who was in Donnie Darko is right now on my deck. Wow. Like you've been speaking to him for like 30 straight weeks. It's amazing. I wouldn't call them completely straight weeks, but they're 30 weeks.

So this song, the original by Echo and the Bunnymen, was also in the movie Gross Point Blank. I love that movie. We just mentioned Dan Aykroyd a couple of minutes ago. Which I think is on Hollywood Suite. I'm not surprised. What a great station. Was he in it too, Dan Aykroyd? Yeah, Dan Aykroyd a couple of minutes ago. Which I think is on Hollywood Suite. I'm not surprised. What a great station. Was he in it too? Dan Aykroyd?

Yeah, Dan Aykroyd. He's the hit man. He's actually a great scene with Cusack and Aykroyd. It was fantastic, actually. That whole movie is fantastic. And the soundtrack is great. They got Violent Femmes is on there. They got the Live and Let Die from Paul McCartney is on there.

But there's a lot of good stuff. A lot of 80s stuff. So this was also on the soundtrack for the movie Gia. Oh, that's the movie with, what's her name? A young Angelina Jolie. Yes, and she's quite naked. Not to be confused with the character on Full House, Gia, who smoked cigarettes. And it was about him.

She was like Stephanie Tanner. Stephanie, yes. The Gia, who smoked cigarettes and was a bad employee. She was like Stephanie Tanner. Stephanie, yes. The Gia, though, I think was an HBO movie. I feel, but I remember, I definitely remember seeing it.

It was good. Yeah. She was very good in it. She was a great performance. Wow. That was a breakthrough performance. Yeah, so this song

was also covered by A-Ha. Wow. Another band that in most of the world would not be considered a one-hit wonder, but on this continent, I think they qualify as one-hit wonders. Yeah. Take on me.

I don't know if you guys remember, Mike, this seems like something you might have been into, Nouvelle Vague. Do you remember this? I know Club Nouveau. They did a good cover of Bill Withers. This was a band that would do almost like almost like bossa nova versions of new wave hits and like

old punk hits and they put like two or three albums kind of like 2010 they seemed like they were quite popular like Dread Zeppelin what are we talking about? no nothing like that at all but that kind of parody but sort of like... Oh, but Mark and I had an argument the other day.

I'm curious what your thought is. Is James B. famous? I don't know who that is. In Toronto, is James B. famous? I guess... I... He's... I don't think so.

I don't think he is. I don't think he is. A hundred random people, ages of 30 to, let's say, 59. 100 random people in this city. How many of them know who James B. is? Like, just picking people

off the street? Yeah, maybe you're picking, yeah, completely random people between the ages of 30 and 59. I'd say like 4%. 4 to 5%. All right.

Then he's not, he's not, I think I could beat that. Were you saying? No. You're definitely more famous with all due respect to James B. Is that right? Wow.

Because, okay. Why? I thought, I think of James B as famous and Ben Murgie says he's not famous. And he was Ben Murgie's band leader. Yeah, at the Friday night with Ralph Ben Murgie. Yeah, absolutely. With Breslin running the show there. Mark Breslin. FOTM Breslin. Okay.

We better kick it. Was that a good choice? I like that song, but can you explain why it's a killer jam? Like... Killing time? No, this is... You know what? You're one for fucking four. I think that he's right, though. I mean, like I said at the beginning of the episode, all of my selections

are all based on the word killer. Okay, but you invented that in your head and decided that's what it was. Cam certainly came to the table with Killing Me Softly and this song. Well, okay, but two of his five jams don't have the word killer. My last song's literally about murdering

people, so if they can save face. Your last jam is a good one, and your first jam is a good one. The three in the middle suck. You're going to hate my songs but I will say that hopefully this whole thing will be salvaged when Mike plays a video

from a Wendell Clark highlight. It's like 60 minutes of Dave Anderchuk highlights. And I just mentioned live and let die I just mentioned live and let die

oh right yeah okay which is the James Bond song interestingly enough the members of this band were in power station

yeah so close enough yeah and this is from a Bond movie movie theme like movie theme songs that are the same name as the film, I believe. We'll be kicking that out next week.

Ghostbusters would be a good one. Sure. Very owner of a lonely heart, too. Shockingly, That's really Symphonic orchestra happening On the song There's no samples here That's real

That's not like a keyboard hit That's This yes So much like that U2 song I played earlier That had the orchestra in it That was influenced by this How do you know that?

How do I know that? Yeah Because it's It's the timeline of... Oh, this is your song. Yeah, this is my song. Oh, okay. Never mind.

I thought this was my song. No, this is my song. Never mind. No. Dance into the fire, man. My song has to be better than this. Come on. Into the fire.

That fatal kiss is all we need. Dance into the fire. So this is A View to a Kill, which is another soundtrack song from the James Bond film, as you alluded to, the final James Bond film to star Roger Moore. Right, and then it was Timothy Dalton, right? Of course, Christopher Walken was in the movie

as a bad guy in there as well. Max Zorin, who's plan is to destroy Silicon Valley. Grace Jones, I think, is also in the movie. I think A-ha did the theme to the Timothy Dalton one. I think you're right. It's fucking all coming together, kids.

I know. I will have to tell you guys a few fun facts. This is one of the band's most famous hits, but it remains the only song that was a James Bond theme song to reach number one on the U.S. Billboard Hot 100. That can't be true. What about the Adele song?

Nope. Never went to number one. The Adele song didn't go to number one? The gold thing? Nope. Yeah, I guess that's probably right. But that Adele song. It was the only James Bond song to go to number one on the U.S. Billboard charts.

That's amazing. This is also the last song that was ever recorded by the original lineup of Duran Duran up until they had a reunion many moons later. But this was before the breakups. Right. Was Lip and Let Die. I shouldn't say. That's what I just said. Did it go to number one.

Yeah. But I really do want to find out where the Adele one peaked, because she did the one for the recent one. Is it Die Another Day or something? No, what is the name of the Adele one? Well, while you think of that, can I talk about this song? Yeah, sure. This song was written by Duran Duran and John Perry,

which also featured a 60-piece orchestra. Wow. Duran Duran was chosen to do the song after bass player John Taylor, a lifelong Bond fan, approached the producer of the film at a party and drunkenly asked, when are you going to get someone decent to do one of your theme songs? That's a diss on Paul McCartney. Shirley Bassey.

I believe that was a Beatle. And Duran Duran ends up getting the song, which becomes the most successful Bond song ever charted. Of course, a family band, Duran Duran, Simon LeBond, Nick Rhodes, John Taylor, Roger Taylor, Andy Taylor. A view to a kill. I feel like one of the Duran Duran guys was an early famous person gets COVID case. Oh, I don't remember that.

I feel like in March, like one of them got it. So do you want to know where Skyfall, that's the name of the Adele song, that ended. I'm just going to quickly glance at where that peaked. Bear with me. It peaked at number eight. Number eight on the Billboard Hot 100. Did not hit number one.

It was a big hit, but not big enough. What's the deal with the current, James? Like it's perpetually delayed? Like all the cinemas are closed? That one they're delaying until they can get bodies in the seats. And that has something to do with death to die or good time to die or something? Who knows?

It's Roger Craig, right? Is it Roger Craig? Didn't he manage the giants? Roger Craig? Daniel Craig. I do that sometimes. I apologize. Yeah, Roger Craig. Roger Craig was like that old guy who managed like Kevin Mitchell. Right. Oh, my God.

Okay. So, great. Controversial opinion here. Lethal says the best Bond was Roger Moore. Ooh. That's controversial. Sean Connery would have something to say about that. I guess it depends on the Bond you grew up on, right?

Right. I think so. So, if Roger Moore was your Bond as a kid, then that's your Bond. Timothy Dalton was the best, I think. Like, quote, unquote, Roger Craig. He's on like five or six. Timothy Dalton was the best, I think. Like, quote-unquote, Roger Craig is... He's on, like, five or six now. Roger Moore? You know, I think...

Daniel Craig you're talking about? Yeah, but that was my mistake. Roger Craig, the San Francisco 49ers? Yeah, he's a 49er. That's who I'm thinking of. But there was also a baseball manager named Roger Craig. Okay, because the Roger Craig I'm thinking of is the 49er. Yeah, Roger Craig was the Giants manager

during the Earthquake series. Oh, wow. Yeah, but you're right. There was the more famously an NFL player. Okay, I want to kick out my fourth jam because I love this song and it's about a murderer, I think. Let's talk. Nice. Uh-oh. It's about a murderer.

Oh. I didn't know this was about a murderer. I've got some fun facts about this one, but it's a great fucking jam, right? Yeah. Toadies? Toadies Toadies People are asking for Rage Against the Machine And you answer with Toadies

Alright We played that like three of my last four I know And not the Toadies Just Toadies Toadies So this is Possum Kingdom And it's a really good song so let's listen to it build up and then i'll tell you some fun facts

so that's stray heart in the periscope I'm not gonna lie. I'll not be a gentleman. Behind the boathouse. I'll show you my dark secret. I can't believe I know that. I was gonna say it's shocking this band. I don't think this band played at Eden Music Fest. Like everyone else was there except this band. I don't think this band played at Eden Music Fest. Like, everyone else was there except this band. When does he kill people?

He's telling the story. When does he kill people? He's telling the story Just so you know The comment section Still talk about James Bond Okay well Bond Has some good songs Going there The songs

The songs origins Lie in folklore From the band's Native state of Texas Possum Kingdom It's a lake actually Bit of a reach This song's origins lie in folklore from the band's native state of Texas, Possum Kingdom. It's a lake, actually. Bit of a reach.

It's a lake in north Texas near Fort Worth. In the documentary Dark Secrets, The Stories of Rubberneck, Lewis further elaborates that he intended Possum Kingdom to be a continuation of the story told in the song I Burn. While he envisioned I Burn to be a story about cult members immolating what is it called when you set yourself on fire? Immolating themselves in order to ascend

to a higher plane. Here, listen closely. What the fuck did you just say? Hold on, this is a great part of the song, and then I'll seal it for you. I like the sometimes I wanna die refrain. Give it up to me. Like six hearts in a row.

Give it up to me, my angel. What does this have to do with a killer jam? It's all about a murder, man. But how did you know that? I've known it forever. I wrote about it on TorontoMind.com like 20 years ago. Really? I have the receipts.

No one picked Cortez the Killer, did they? I loaded it up. I loaded it up as an obvious one. It's too long. No! Help me, Jesus. Okay, in 1994, a killer was said to roam the craggy shores of Possum Kingdom Lake. As the story goes, the prowler, presumed to be a man, approached a young woman one night,

making overtures of romantic flattery. He invited her to walk with him around the lake. He lured her behind a boathouse, which you heard that lyric earlier, and it was there that he revealed his true intentions. He intended to take her as his bride. No one ever heard from her again. Sorry, that's a true story? It's a folklore, but it's a legend,

and this song is about the legend of this murder. By the way, when you light yourself on fire, that's called self-immolation. Immolation, that's the word I was going for. That's like the rage against the machine. Yes, the monk. Remember the wax? There was a band called Wax that had a song called Southern California. immolation immolation that's the word I was going for so that's like the rage against the machine yes remember the there was a band

called Wax that had a song called Southern California it was like a guy lit on fire Spike Jonze video that's right the whole video

was a guy on fire walking down the street you had the CD I remember you like went to California and you came back and that band was really big

like in LA or something why did I move to Southern California? Do you want to die? Finally, finally. It took six minutes, but here we are. Sometimes want to die. Do you want to die?

Do you want to die? I forgot about this part You redeemed yourself I fucking love this song Technically not murder Like death threats Yeah They never heard from her again. And on my mixtape, the next song would be,

One baby, two, another sinner. I'm looking to met you that was my mixtape oh my god never mind okay you ready for the final jam from Cam Gordon

ready and then you get a little fun fact bonus you guys are gonna hate my final jam oh it's a quick one a live version

we'll just play the whole thing if you're still here we must have played or not played something you want anything with devil Anything with devil. Anything with devil or Satan in it.

Is that Metallica? Is this Metallica? Yeah. He's good. I recognize Lars' voice. What? COVID. I got something to say I don't need your mother to date Doesn't matter most to me As long as she's free Feel of the day Just waiting for your break

Don't think that one last girl is Free Two live songs from Cam on this. Oh, yeah. By the way. Yeah. So this is a song. I got something to say.

I killed your father today. I raped your mother today. Yeah, like I killed a baby today. Yeah, this was popular in the schoolyard, as I recall. Yeah, this is a big. So this is Metallica covering the Misfits song, Last Embrace. So this is my only choice. It doesn't mention murdering or killing, but it's certainly a violent song about murder.

Yeah, okay. This one's good. That was like a self-loathing song. You open strong and you close fine. Yeah. It's in the middle side. Yeah, so this was from, it was like a live album, and then this song actually appeared on the reissue of Injustice for All. This version we're hearing right now was recorded in

1989 in the Seattle Coliseum. Could be the new home of the Kraken, too, the renovated version. What is this now? Is it the same song? Give it a second. Time for beds, dude. Is this like a mind blow? Give him a pillow. Can you feel the heat off that heater? No.

Really? Because it'll take it back. I felt it. No, no, please. I like it. Is Macabre for Cambrio? Cam's choice. He'll explain it to us now. Is Macabre for Cambrio? Cam's choice.

He'll explain it to us. I killed your father today. I beeped your beep today. Is that what this is? What is this? The world is a vampire. What's's gonna happen here actually it's kind of you know if I turn off these lights

we could have a little snoozy this is nice you'd like play this for Morgan she's probably too old you know she's in kindergarten now I know

she doesn't want to hear this you never know she'd rather hear the Metallica version. This is from a series called Twinkle Twinkle Little Rock Star, which is on Spotify and on YouTube. It's like lullaby versions

of just all sorts of songs of all kinds. They have a whole album of misfits songs. Stu's shaking his head. Stu is disgusted. I'm not disgusted. I like this little bonus. It's not really a mind blow. No, but yours are rarely really mind blows.

I think it's fun. Well, that's why I put last. Anyway, a final comment about Last Crest by the Misfits. I don't know if you guys know. They're from New Jersey. From a place called Lodi, New Jersey. Lodi? Yeah.

Lodi Dodi. We likes to potty. Yes. We don to potty. Yes. We don't cause trouble. I mean, Misfits, I guess what you say like a cult act and like you and I were talking about, sort of like merchandise. The t-shirts sell very well. Yeah, but very few people know the band. They just like the t-shirt.

Also, like Stu, correct me if I'm wrong, they were in WCW. Yes, they were. Like the Misfits, they were a wrestling tag team for a while. We are the Misfits. Our songs are better. We are the Misfits they were a wrestling tag team for a while we are the Misfits our songs are better we are the Misfits and we're gonna get her yeah I like them

better than Jem and the Holograms well Jem is truly outrageous me and my friends are Jem girls so anyway that song that we

just heard Metallica tear through from Seattle 1989 smash cut to 2018 that song there was a poll

by a New Jersey state website, and that song was voted the greatest ever song by a musical artist from New Jersey. Better than the Fugees. More than the Fugees, more than Bon Jovi, number two is Born to Run by Bruce Springsteen. Right, of course.

Yeah, more than the Four Seasons, like whoever. Oh, yeah. Or the Yola Tango, like all the greats. Sherry, Sherry baby. But yeah, what we're hearing now is a version of The Misfits, Last Embraced by Twinkle Twinkle Little Rockstar. I feel like there is like a Smashing Pumpkins, like Bullet With Butterfly version.

Tonight, tonight. That would be good, actually. It's soothing. It's like, yeah, it's well done. Stu just fell asleep. Making a Murder is on Wednesday, the 14th of October. And I will say to our American friends watching, you will be able to watch the film between the 15th and the 18th

because we have just found out breaking news that the film was accepted into the world-famous Telluride Film Festival, which is going virtual this year. So you will be able to watch the movie in the United States for a three-day period as well. Lethal says Glenn Denzig was in the Misfits. We were singing Mother earlier before you showed up. Mother, do you want to bang heads with me? Well, I'm about to give my final choice.

And again, I think I'm going to get flack, but not from my friends in the chat here because they love my picks. You loaded that chat with F-O-S-S-E. I like Lethal's been hanging out for like 90 minutes. He likes it. Awesome. We'll zoom him in next week. Shout out to Moose Grumpy as well.

Is Fitzy still? Or is she asleep? I will say... Did she go to sleep? Well, she heard a lullaby. The next song, again, I made my selections based on the word killer. Clearly.

So if the word killer was in the title or in the lyrics. I think we're about to get a lunch bag let down. So this one's going to maybe be disqualified by YouTube, but it's a great fucking jam. And I want to say Cam has been playing recent songs, songs that are from the years. Mike last week played Fuck 2020. Low key, fuck 2020. So I have a songs that are from the years, you know, Mike last week played fuck 2020 low key fuck 2020. So I have a song that's from 2020.

My first offering of a 2020 song. This is my first offering. Only took 30 episodes. Of a 2020 song. Oh, hey. Oh, fuck. Ooh la la, ah wee wee. Ooh la la, ah wee wee. Ooh la la, ah wee wee. Ooh la la, ah wee wee.

Ooh la la, ah wee wee. Ooh la la, ah wee wee. Ooh la la, ah wee wee. Ooh la la, ah wee wee. Ooh la la, ah wee wee. Looking for M's like I lost a friend. Jump out of my bed like bread of bread. Wee-wee. Ooh-la-la. Ah, wee-wee. Ooh-la-la. Looking for M's like I lost a friend. Jump out of my bed like bread-to-bread. You go hold a egg.

Way to bring a check. When we talk, we call this the car. Keep us in your thoughts. Fully dressed at the crack of dawn. Weapons letting off. I can hear them from the block. See them creeping through the fog. Season's greetings.

Now feeding season can start. Oh, my God. Look alive. Looking like I live life on a crooked line. Doing fine, you want maximum, stupid, I am the guy First of all, fuck the fucking law, we is fucking raw Steak tartare, oysters on the half-jail, switch it bar Life a bitch, and the pussy fit, still fuck the raw I'm a dog, I'm a dirty dog, ha ha ha ha ha

Oh dirty bastard, go in your jaw, shimmy shimmy y'all Got the simmy and the hemmy, go and give me, give me y'all Pugilistic, my linguistics are J. Ruda damage y'all So you are listening to Run the Jewels, which features a rapper by the name of Killer Mike. That it does. Listen, Run the Jewels, getting lots of love in the chat room, Run the Jewels Getting lots of love in the chat room Yeah Run the Jewels produced

No, Run the Jewels is great Anyway This jam is inappropriate for the next scene I don't think so Killer jams It's my fucking dedication to my movie Killer money So I would love for this song to be in the movie

They definitely talk about killing motherfuckers in this song Why not? What's the name of the song? The song's called Ooh La La Ooh La La By Run the Jewels, featuring LP and Killer Mike. Yeah, aforementioned. Interestingly enough, there's some fun facts about this band. Killer Mike was first introduced to his Run the Jewels cohort by a Cartoon Network executive, Jason DeMarco, in 2011.

He ended up producing Killer Mike's album. They ended up having such a good time, they started this super group called Run the Jewels, and their music has been released mostly through Cartoon Network's Adult Swim channel. That's how they gained a lot of their popularity, which is pretty fucking wild. It's like Space Ghost and all that shit.

Yeah, it's pretty wild. So, yeah, Killer Mike, Run the Jewels. If you haven't seen the music video for this, it's pretty cool. DJ Premier doing the cuts. Okay. And I won't spoil what's coming next, but that ooh-la-la voice is near and dear to my heart. Of course. And they actually have him in the music video.

Greg Nice. My life's like a fairy tale. You woke up to a great big whale, met a fat chick who broke the scale. Good cuts there. That didn't age well. You're not supposed to discriminate. Lethal says that track was produced by DJ Premier, by the way.

Can I do a callback to like five episodes? Again, that relates to something Stoose. Now, you remember I had a very controversial pick in our was it summer episode or fall episodes I remember walking in the sand right so Stu said you know that part in the chorus oh no

oh no Stu's like oh someone should sample that that was actually sampled in a song called oh no that I discovered after we did that episode and the three artists on it were Big Boy, Outkast, Bubba Sparks, and Killer Mike.

This was on the soundtrack, I think, of the movie Triple X. Was that a movie? Not a bad track. Here's the not-so-mind-blow, but for those who aren't hip-hop fans, they might want to know where this ooh-la-la business comes from. I really like Nice and Smooth.

I just want to say that. Hey, hey, hey, hey. A gangsta has got to be the sure shot. Nicest move has got to be the sure shot. A gangsta has got to be the sure shot. Nicest move has got to be the sure shot. A Greg Nice, a Greg in a C-E. Dominum Basel, ah wee wee. Rock for a fee, not for free. Maybe I'll do it for charity.

Now my employer or my employee is making Greg in I see E very M.A.D. They'll never ever think of jerking me I work too hard for my royalty Put lead in your ass and drink a cup of tea Pista Red Alert and Kid Capri Ooh la la ah wee wee I say Muhammad Ali You say glass is clay I say butter

You say barque It's alright if you wanna make a swig I'm a way to play Is this Nice and Smooth? Yes. Well, this is actually Gangstar featuring Nice and Smooth. D-W-Y-C-K, which, do you know what that means? Do you? Don't walk you orange crazy. I have no fucking clue. Do what you can, kid. Right, I should have known that.

I should have known that. Yeah, I got a shout out to Nice and Smooth. That's the piece Guru, by the way. One of the great rappers of our time. Guru, DJ Premier, one of the great producers of our time. FOTM, Jamar McNeil, assumes the stage name Jay Nice when he's the DJ. He's a DJ for Mishimi, who's an FOTM as well. And that Jay Nice is his tribute to Greg Nice from Nice and Smooth. You know, we talked about

Rage Against the Machine earlier when they played their only time headlining in Maple Leaf Gardens. Do you know Open for them? Gangstar? Gangstar. At least they were on the poster again. I remember seeing it as a fly. Nice and Smooth was sometimes a very fast, sometimes a very hip-hop

Tracy Chapman. Yes, okay. I love Nice and Smooth. sometimes a very fast, sometimes a very hip-hop junkie. Tracy Jarman, yes. I love Nice and Smooth. It's fun. Yeah, and Hip Hop Junkies. They do a lot of good samples. But kind of like wholesome. Well, you had the Greg Nice, which you've been hearing a lot of.

And then you had kind of, he was kind of like a, I think of him as like a Big Daddy Kane style. Smooth you're talking about? No, now I'm talking about yeah smooth smooth yeah like he was just so effortless you know a little maestro a little you know

Big Daddy kind of you know there he is do you have another I wanna get blunted my brother now may I make a mark

then make a spark over this fat track and now I'm thinking and uh uh you know and uh I put her in rehab and I won't tell your folks. And what do you know?

In 16 months, she came home and I let her back in. And now she's sniffing again. So guys, it took 30 weeks, but we got Wu-Tang and Gangstar played.

Finally. Finally. Finally. And you're welcome for that, by the way. And this song came up earlier in the program. So yeah, I just want to apologize, by the way. And this song came up earlier in the program. So yeah, I just want to apologize, by the way.

Had I known that the songs had to be about physically killing people, some of my selections would have been altered. I'm happy I didn't call in the audibles because we got to hear some gangsta. Yeah, you know, it's miscommunication. Well, now I'm thinking of all these songs that are literally about murder. Well, all my songs are literally about murder, including this one, which we alluded to earlier.

You ready? Sure. Okay. I thought this was going to be Shot a Man in Reno just to watch him die. Hey, Joe.

Didn't we hear this recently? Where you going with that gun in your motherfucking hand? I don't think so. Who did you say covered this recently? Where you going with that gun on your old motherfucking hand? I don't think so. Who did you say covered this recently? I think Body Count.

Body Count, right. Shout out to Macabre in their album Dommer from Cambrio. Dommer. There's a, it's like the Marilyn Manson serial killer.

I need a snack. It's a big ass moth here in front of our TV lights. Okay. So yeah, okay moth here in front of our TV lights. So, yeah, okay. So, here's Jimi Hendrix. Hey, Joe. This is like a traditional folk song.

Slow your roll, Cam. Slow your fucking roll. Why don't you tell us a bit about that? Why don't you slow your fucking roll? Yeah. Let us simmer for a bit here. Essentially, these are... But a man who's on the run

and planning to head to Mexico after shooting his unfaithful wife. That's how you do it back then. Yeah, this is the 60s. It was a different time, right? A different time. Here he's confessing, yes, I did, I shot her.

confessing. Yes, I did. I shot her. No bounds. No bounds. Not to be confused with Janie's Got a Gun. Actually, that could probably count. There's a lot of good killer jams. I want to just point out something real quick. Sure.

I want to read verbatim. I sent my list of five songs to Mike, and I said, and Cam, you can verify this. I said, how's this? He replied, perfect. Perfect. With an exclamation mark. So if he had any fucking problems with my choices,

he wouldn't have said perfect. If I may, Counselor. Am I right? That's in reference to the fact that the previous list had Psycho Killer. And I said, we got a problem. Houston, we have a problem. I said, Cam picked Psycho Killer. Can you pick something else?

So all I was commenting on there is that it's perfect and that they're unique songs that weren't picked by me and Cam. That's all I was trying to bring to you. That's unclear. I'm not going to judge your choice because I do that now. I'm not going to be like, oh, you're picking songs that aren't about killing. That's all I was trying to say. That's unclear. I'm not going to judge your choice because I do that now. I'm not going to be like, oh, you're picking songs that

aren't about killing. That's what I do now. I'm just trying to tell you there are songs you can kick out because they haven't been chosen by Cam or myself.

I'm just saying I work for this company and I see what you did here on our free service, by the way. Shout out to your service.

That was a private DM, Stu. That's like opening up mail, okay, as far as I'm concerned. You can't do that. That's against the law. That's a private DM, Stu. That's like opening up mail. As far as I'm concerned. That's illegal. In the Faking a Murder, did you notice that scene where I said you shouldn't open the mail? I honestly

didn't even multitask during the fucking movie. I never touched my phone or anything. I guess that's the moral of the story of all of this tonight. Faking a Murder is coming out October the 14th. I have a little bit of a bonus jam, and then we're going to hammer that home before we say goodbye. But Cam kind of ruined it.

A lot of people think Hey Joe is a Jimi Hendrix song. A lot of people think, of course, that's a Jimi Hendrix song. Hey Joe, where you going with that? Got a gun in your hand. Oh, Neil Diamond. Good guess, but no Hey Joe Is it Barry Maguire? That's also a good guess, but no

Is it Love? It's not Mark Aguirre either It's Dusty Springfield Blue-Eyed Soul I love, oh, we've talked about I think I kicked out Dusty Springfield The Son of a preacher man, for Soundtrack Jams.

But no. This song... This is the... kind of the folk hit prior to Jimi Hendrix recording this standard, if you will. This is Tim Rose. Tim Rose.

And this is the version that inspired Jimi Hendrix's version, because, of course, it's a traditional folk song. Hey, Joe. I feel like Lead Belly did it. Something like that. It just goes to show you, Mike, that the most influential episode of Pandemic Fridays is Songs We Didn't Realize were covers,

because since that episode, everybody's been mind-blowing people with songs. One after another. Yeah. So this is the arrangement that Jimmy heard and went, Hey, guys, I think I can do something here. He kind of imitates this arrangement. Yeah, I'm trying, you know.

Because I keep on thinking, I'm thinking, what's it say at the end of one of his songs? Move over, Rover, let Jimmy take over. Let's go. Which is a bit like Humpty Hump, actually. I love it. I'm thinking of what's it say at the end of one of his songs move over Rover let Jimmy take over which is a bit like Humpty Hump I love it your impression got worse

on that I was going to say ending with Jimmy Hendrix in an episode where we sort of celebrated Eddie Van Halen off the top

is nice bookends too when you talk about intentionally done I'm always thinking shout out to Eddie Van Halen for sure rescues the Eddie Van Halen shout out to DJ Lethal

who is really great in the chat all night long dropping knowledge. I think he's the MVP. He just requested I shot the sheriff. Maybe next time. The show is coming to a close.

All the people who watched, I encourage you, please use your social media, use your voices, friends of Toronto Mike, friends of Stu Stone, friends of Cam Horton. The Foss is the Fox. the Fosses, the Foxes,

the Fosses, the Foxes. You know, use your voice this week, and if you see the movie, give us a review on IMDb that's favorable. Otherwise, fuck off. I have some homework to do as well. I thoroughly enjoyed it, so I can personally recommend this. It was great to see FOTMs

beyond yourself in the movie. It's a clever use of the budget that we were given to make a movie. And if I can spoil it in the slightest possible way, I'm going to say that this movie, the whole inspiration for this movie was, you know, we had done our horror movies, Scarecrows and

Kirby Road, and then Jack of All Trades came out, and the budgets for these Canadian projects are what they are. So it was like, well, why not try to shoot like a scarecrows type movie? Like I shot Jack of all trades. And that's sort of how it happened. So faking a murder. Thank you for the killer jams.

And thank you, Mike, and all of your listeners are always supporting. Call me killer. Mike, please. Killer. Killer.

Mike, killer Toronto. Mike, FOTM. Let's make this fucking movie huge. I want to, all these, I want to see tweets to, uh, let's make this fucking movie huge. I want to see tweets to... What's the station called? At Hollywood Suite.
