Starting point is 00:00:00 It's my birthday, it's my birthday, it's Brian Clint's Birthday Banger, the podcast. Yeah! We take your birthdays, we figure out what was number one on your 16th and then we play one of those songs for everyone to enjoy. First person up for Birthday Banger today is Adam. Hey man. Addy! G'day, how are ya?
Starting point is 00:00:19 Good, I heard you've been trying to get on for this for a while. Oh, I've just tried calling him for random things, and I'm one of those ones that sort of never gets through, and so I'm stoked that I'm through. Oh, well, here you are, mate. Welcome, mate. Welcome to the big time. Give us your birthday.
Starting point is 00:00:33 So, birthday's 3rd of November, 1987. Okay, Adzi, you were 16 in 2003 on the 3rd of November, and this is your birthday banger. How many dudes you know go like this? How many dudes you know go like this? How many? How many? How many? the 3rd of November and this is your birthday banger. It's a good one, bro. It's so good. Worth the wait. Straight from the Crusader, you've got Scribe, Not Many, the remix. There you go, Adam.
Starting point is 00:00:58 Champion. I was so glad. I was hoping it wasn't something really awful when everyone just cringes at it. We say you can't choose your birthday banger, your birthday banger chooses you. Let's see what you're up against. Next up is Emma. Hi, Emma.
Starting point is 00:01:10 Hi, Emma. Hiya. What's your birthday? 1st of August, 2000. You were born in the year 2000? There's people old enough to use a phone? Okay, you were 16 in 2016 on the 1st of August and this was number one.
Starting point is 00:01:30 Justin Bieber, Major Lazer, Cold Water. Ooh. Yeah, ooh. I'm pretty sure it's still in the playlist, maybe. But by the way, Brie, it's 2019. Yeah, I know, but it's just... She's not a newborn. It's weird to me that you were born in the millennium. One more.
Starting point is 00:01:44 We're going to hear what Olivia's birthday banger is. Hi, Olivia. Hi, Olivia. Hello. What's your birthday? 4th of June, 1988. See, more relatable. I understand the 88s, yes.
Starting point is 00:01:57 You were 16 in 2004 on the 4th of June, and this was top of the chart. The weirdest musical battle of all time between two people we didn't even know existed before that, Amon, and this is the return song from Frankie, his girlfriend. Yeah, so he had the song F.U. Yeah. And then his girlfriend, he wrote that song about, released a song, and it went number one.
Starting point is 00:02:24 F.U you write back. Do you remember this, Olivia? Yeah, kind of. Do you want to hear it again? What would you pick? Oh, I don't think any are great. Probably the first one. You don't like Scribe?
Starting point is 00:02:39 You don't think Scribe's a good option? Oh, he's probably the best of the three. Yeah. Okay, what do you reckon? Ooh. I'm trying to pick something that you would never hear. Which would be the Frankie song. It'd be the Frankie song.
Starting point is 00:02:53 Yeah. The Scribe song is more of a banger. Yeah, definitely a banger. But the Frankie song you won't have heard in a long time. And we won't know until we start it whether that's for good reasons or bad reasons. Maybe when we played the Amon version and we got about halfway through and we're like, man, this sucks. I didn't mind it.
Starting point is 00:03:11 Okay, well then let's do Frankie. If that's the way you feel about it, let's do Frankie. Should we back it? Should we do it? Well, if we've played his, it's only fair to play hers, right? Okay, here you go. Let us know what you think, New Zealand. No, don't.
Starting point is 00:03:29 No, do. 9696. We're playing the whole thing. This is Birthday Banger, ZM. You know why you're crying like a Talk like a smith Why'd you write a song about me? If you really didn't care, you wouldn't wanna share Telling everybody just how you feel What I did was your fault somehow
Starting point is 00:04:05 The presents, I threw all that down Gone the crying, it didn't mean jack Well, guess what, you're quite bad What I did was your fault somehow The presents, I threw all that down Gone the crying, It didn't mean jack Well guess what yo Cry back
Starting point is 00:04:28 You thought You could Really make me more I had better sex All alone I had to Send to your friend Now you want me to come back
Starting point is 00:04:49 You must be smoking crack I'm going elsewhere And that's a fact All those nights I won't reel out Get out, faked it I'll rent you out All those nights
Starting point is 00:05:03 You thought you broke my back Well, guess what, Joe? Your sex was whack All those nights, I'm on real loud Faked it, aren't you proud? All those nights you thought you broke my back Well, guess what, Joe? Your sex was whack
Starting point is 00:05:21 Oh, oh, uh-huh, yeah Oh, oh, uh-huh, yeah Oh, oh, uh-huh, yeah Oh, oh, uh-huh, yeah Oh, oh, uh-huh, yeah You're questioning Did I care? Maybe I would have If you would've known that
Starting point is 00:05:47 Now it's over But I do admit I'm glad I didn't catch your craft I can't sweat that cause I'm about to go What I did was your fault somehow The present stopped through all that ZM. Brilliant, Clayton. That's a birthday banger from Frankie. It's called If You Write Back. Tell us what you really think on the text machine, New Zealand.
Starting point is 00:06:25 People are not holding back. Some people really enjoyed it. Some people liked it. You know what I didn't like? Oh, the radio edit. Oh, they took out every second word. If you dissect that song, though, there is some lyrical genius in there. The line where she goes,
Starting point is 00:06:42 But I do admit I'm glad I didn't catch your crabs. Right. I mean, if you can't appreciate that, but interesting on the text machine. So obviously this song is by Amon, which was the first song, FU. And then Frankie, his so-called girlfriend, that he wrote it about.
Starting point is 00:07:02 Did they reply? Apparently not true at all. What, were they not together? Apparently it was all made up. Oh, I feel like really ripped off by that. I feel so ripped off. But if you think about it though, I mean, think about all the other music artists that I reckon do that now too.
Starting point is 00:07:24 Taylor Swift? Like Becky with the good hair. Do we even know if that's true? Oh, you call him Beyonce a liar? I mean, think about all the other music artists that I reckon do that now too. Taylor Swift? Like Becky with the good hair. Do we even know if that's true? Are you calling Beyonce a liar? Well. Are you calling Beyonce a liar? Mate, if the shoe fits.
Starting point is 00:07:34 Alright. It's my birthday. It's my birthday. Three and Clint's birthday banger. The podcast. Yeah! Oh baby, baby. Oh baby, baby.

Starting point is 00:08:25 It's a tune. I was like, voice feelings. That was when JT really hit his stride, wasn't it? That was the peak of his powers. That was sexy back days. Future sex love sound. One of, I'll go out on a limb, one of the best pop songs of the 2000s. I agree.
Starting point is 00:08:38 Let's go Bree. Hi, Bree. Hi, Bree. Hi, how's it going? Good, thanks. What's your birthday, Bree? The 7th of May, 1991. Okay, you were 16 in 2007 on the 7th of May,

Starting point is 00:09:09 Like, that is my duo. Mate, it is the van for people called Bree. Do yourself a favour. To mull it on wheels. God, I wish your parents were still here so your dad could come and inspect the vehicle and tell you what a great job you've done. I don't know if you would say that. Hey, Jo.
Starting point is 00:09:26 Hello. Jo, have you seen the Venute yet? You know what? I haven't. She sounds like a treat. It's half van, half ute, all Venute. But that's not important right now. What more would you want in life?
Starting point is 00:09:38 I know, right? What more would you want? It's the best of both worlds. What matters right now, though, is your birthday banger. Can we get your birthday? I feel super old right now. But yeah, 3rd of August, 1972. Oh, not at all, Jo. You were 16 in 1988.
Starting point is 00:09:51 What a good year on the 3rd of August. And this is your birthday banger. So remember when we were driving, driving in your car, skiing so fast that the lake ain't worth running. City lights day after day. Here we go, here we go. I'm feeling like scrap around my shoulder. And I, I had a feeling that I belonged. Here we go, here we go. How appropriate for today, too, with such a car-based show, you know?
Starting point is 00:10:15 It's just written in the stars, Jo. It really was. It was meant to be. Do you approve of it? I approve of nothing more than the Vanute and that song. Bree, do you approve of it? I approve, mate. We're doing it.
Starting point is 00:10:28 Oh, Tracy Chapman. We are going home together listening to Tracy Chapman this afternoon. It's your birthday, Banger Joe. Well done. Thanks. All right. Sing it loud. This is for you, Venute.
Starting point is 00:10:40 Does the Venute get the radio? Yeah, she does. It does? She does. Turn it up, Venute. She'd be listening right now. You get a fast car. I want a ticket to anywhere.
Starting point is 00:10:50 Maybe we make a deal. Maybe together we can get somewhere. Any place is better. Starting from zero, got nothing to lose. Maybe we'll make something. Me, myself, I got nothing to prove You got a fast car I got a plan to get us out of here
Starting point is 00:11:16 Been working at the convenience store Managed to save just a little bit of money Won't have to drive too far Just cross the border and into the city You and I can both get jobs And finally see what it means to be a living See my old man's got a problem He lived with a bottle, that's the way it is
Starting point is 00:11:43 He says his body's too old for working. His body's too young to look like his. My mama went off and left him. She wanted more from life than he could give. I said somebody's got to take care of him. So I quit school and that's what I did. You got it fast car Is it fast enough so we can fly away? You gotta make a decision
Starting point is 00:12:12 Leave tonight or live and die this way So remember when we were driving, driving in your car Speed so fast it felt like I was drunk City lights lay out before us And your arms felt like scrap around my shoulder And I, I had a feeling that I belonged I, I had a feeling I could be someone, be someone, be someone. We got a fast car.
Starting point is 00:12:57 We go cruising, entertain ourselves. Still ain't got a job. Not working the market as a checkout girl. I know things will get better. You'll find work and I'll get promoted. We'll move out of the shelter, buy a bigger house and live in the suburbs. I remember when we were driving, driving in your car Speed so fast, the sun I got was strong City lights day out before us And your arms on ice wrapped around my shoulder And I, I had a feeling that I belonged I, I had a feeling I could be someone Be someone, be someone one you got a fast car i got a job pays all our bills
Starting point is 00:13:53 you stay up drinking later they want some more your friends and you do your kids i'd always hope for better but maybe together you and me find you they got no plans it ain't going nowhere Take your fast car and keep on driving You got a fast car Is it fast enough so you can fly away? You gotta make a decision
Starting point is 00:14:22 Leave tonight or live and die this way. ZM, Brie and Clint. That's the winner of Birthday Banger from Tracy Chapman. It's called Fast Car. That was a good Birthday Banger. Very fitting for today. I mean, who doesn't love that song?

Sorry, I'm eating KFC. Can you not stroll in here halfway through the song with a KFC chicken breast in your hand
Starting point is 00:30:43 and just casually, yeah, that's good, I like that. This is why I've been eating so healthy, but you cannot work at a radio station because there's free food here all the time. There are a few Atlas fans that we pissed off, by the way, that wanted to hear Atlas. It'll come up again one day. Yeah, one of their other hits will come up.
Starting point is 00:30:59 Someone, no. This is definitely one of my top three favourite Atlas songs. Someone's texted, though, and said, Clint, that is one strike. That's scary. I know, and I said back to them, I said, one strike what? And they just said, you do not want to get three. I am wound up.

Starting point is 00:32:02 Yo. What's your birthday? Sorry? What's your birthday, Jordan? 21st of Hi, Jordan. Hi, Jordan. Yo. What's your birthday? Sorry? What's your birthday, Jordan? 21st of March, 94. Okay, Jordan, you were 16 in 2010 on the 21st of March. And back in 2010, this hit the top of the chart. Gaga and Beyonce, Telephone.
Starting point is 00:32:24 Jordan, are you a Gaga fan? Oh, not really, but not too bad. I could kind of tell that from your voice. Could be worse. I like that song. Remember the video? Oh, it's a tune. Yeah, the video was an event.
Starting point is 00:32:35 I remember everyone got around the YouTube screen, around the computer screen the minute it came out. When you think about it, what a mix, Beyonce and Lady Gaga. Yeah, it's great. Amazing. Adam, hey, Adam. Good afternoon, guys. Hello, Afton.
Starting point is 00:32:48 What's your birthday? It's 18th of the 10th, 1986. Okay, Adam, you were 16 in 2002 on the 18th of October, and this is your birthday banger. The tide is high, but I'm holding on. I'm gonna be your number one. Atomic Kitten covering Blondie, you get the Titus High. How do you feel about that?
Starting point is 00:33:12 It's no Barbra Streisand, but it's not too bad. It's no Barbra. Hey, Adzy, it's a classic. It's no, he's right, it's no Barbra Streisand. We've got one more to do and it's for Ruby. Hi, Ruby. Hi, Ruby. Hi.
Starting point is 00:33:25 What's your birthday? September, September 96. Okay, Ruby, you were 16 in 2012 on the 10th of September and on that day this was number one. Baby, come on. I can do this alone. Oh, friends of the show. Ruby, do you remember this song?
Starting point is 00:33:46 Banger. This is Titanium. Now, this is an interesting one for a number of reasons. One of the key members of Titanium is Andrew Pappas. Which you would know as Toyboy. Toyboy. Megan from Fletchborn and Megan's husband. Great guy.
Starting point is 00:34:02 Lovely guy. You'll also know if you're a radio historian that Titanium was the band that The Edge created, the boy band. So here's the thing, guys. Can I say, this is a historic moment, that song has never been played on ZM because that song was created by a rival radio station for the same reason that The Edge didn't play the Hot Mess Express send it.
Starting point is 00:34:21 ZM has never played Titanium Come On Home. And they should have played it because it was number one in the country. Producer Ben, do we have that song loaded up in the system? No. No, we don't. It's not in the system at all. No, it's not in the system.
Starting point is 00:34:36 That's not going to stop us, though. We could play it from YouTube. I've got Spotify. We could play it from Spotify. If that's the song we're going with, if that's better than Atomic Kitten and Lady Gaga Telephone. The essence of Birthday Banger is I usually think to play something you would never hear on ZM.
Starting point is 00:34:53 That song there never, ever has been played on ZM. Never, ever has been played on ZM. And I really love Andrew. And can I say, as one of the guys who was part of the creation of that band, it is a banger. Like, it is a hell of a pop tune. Let's play it. Are we going to play it?
Starting point is 00:35:13 Yeah, let's play it. Ruby, do you want to hear that as your birthday banger this afternoon? 100%. Let's do it, Rubes. All right. Thanks, guys. This might cost us our job, but make sure the volume's up. We're bound to lose it sometimes.
Starting point is 00:35:26 Live life on the edge. Yeah, Ruby. Don't say life on the edge at a moment like this, okay? Live life on the ZM. Okay, I think we're on. I think we're on. Woo! Wait.
Starting point is 00:35:42 It's on! Be aware, this is coming out of my laptop Here we go, Birthday Bagger ZM I remember times we would both sit and laugh About nothing at all And the hours would pass So we could sit and watch Every flick from the store And the world we'd ignore
Starting point is 00:36:08 Money made, then we'd be bored How do we get this back home? How do we get this back home? Cause I can't do this alone I can't do this alone Baby, come on home I can't do this alone I can't do this alone
Starting point is 00:36:41 Baby, come on home Come on baby come on home come on, come on home whoa come on, come on home I remember when we first met on that day
Starting point is 00:36:59 you seen calm in the gray didn't know why I met you that day when we would spend I can't do this alone. How do we get this back? I can't do this alone. Make a song to the rhythm if you ain't hear it But it's the point, my baby Are we being played at all? How do we get this back? How do we get this back? Cause I can't do this alone I can't do this alone I can't do this alone

Starting point is 00:38:56 Home, home Home, home Baby, come on home That, ladies and gentlemen, is historic. That is the first time that song has ever been played on ZM. It came up as a birthday banger. And probably the last. It is New Zealand's very own boy band, Titanium,
