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?
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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?
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.
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.
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.
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
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
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
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
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
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
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.
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,
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.
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.
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.
Alright.
It's my birthday.
It's my birthday.
Three and Clint's birthday banger.
The podcast.
Yeah!
Oh baby, baby.
Oh baby, baby.
Let's find out What was number one
On your 16th birthday
Let's do it
Who's up first
First
I'm gonna go with Matt
Hi Matt
Hi Matt
How you guys
How you going
Good thank you
Seen the Venute yet Matt
Oh I have not yet
I've got a lot to do
To listen on
She is a feast for the eyes
If you are
Any way
Automotively inclined
This is the vehicle for you
She's a tasty dish
What's your birthday, Matt?
23rd of the 11th, 1990.
Okay, Matt, you were 16 in 2006 on the 23rd of November
and this is your birthday banger.
The only thing I want you to do is be my love.
Love.
My love.
So don't give away my love.
JT and Timbaland, you get My Love.
What a banger.
What a banger, yeah.
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.
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,
and on that day, this was number one.
Yes.
Badass girl pop rock anthem, Avril Lavigne, Girlfriend.
I love it.
What do you think?
Yeah, it's good, isn't it?
Have you seen the Venute, Bree?
I haven't yet.
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.
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?
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.
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?
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.
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.
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.
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
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
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
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.
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
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
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?
Who doesn't love that song?
And how much better is it than the remix as well, by the way?
Yeah, when was the remix?
A couple of years ago?
Was it Jonas Blue?
It was Jonas Blue.
Is this the remix?
No, this is Tracy Chapman.
I'll find you the remix.
Can you find me the remix? Yeah. I was going to say, what's another Tracy Chapman. Yeah, I'll find you the remix. Can you find me the remix?
Yeah.
I was going to say, what's another Tracy Chapman song?

No, don't record this song, I'm afraid.
Okay.
It was Jonas Blue that did the remix.
Yeah, Jonas Blue.
Oh, actually, I don't mind

your birthday banger is Nelly and Kelly
Dilemma.
My husband's name is
Neil and sometimes our first showbiz is
Nellie. No, you do not!
That is ridiculous. Occasionally.

that then. Let's go Brendan. Hey Brendan.
Hi Brendan. Yo, what's going on?
Who's a good Brendan

People of the world, why you making me?
You're a child of a cartoon, bust a beat.
I said you're fine with the part you want to compete.
It's like that, and that's the way it is. Builders rise higher every day.
We receive much lower pay.
Our crowds say, don't go out and play.
It's like that, and that's the way it is.
Ho!
War going on across the seas. Thank you. Solution is the word that just calls me when I'm not heard.
I just go through life with my glasses blurred.
It's like that, and that's the way it is.
Ho!
You can feel a lot in this life's plan.
Like a rock out of a garbage can
You noticed one time he was your man
It's like that, but it's not the way it is
You should have gone to school, you could have burned a train
But you left to keep a bed with a bump that late

Because they really stumped us.
We got Brendan Urie from Panic at the Disco.
Brendan Fraser.
That's the only other Brendan I could find.
Yeah.
The guy from The Mummy, Brendan Fraser.
He's 50 now.
Is he?
Yeah.
Hot for 50.
You don't mean
You haven't looked at him
Since he was in The Mummy
Let me look then
My mum loves a bit
Of Brendan Fraser
Oh he was an absolute
Movie heartthrob
For a bit
It's a real sad story
Around Brendan Fraser
He went off the rails
For a bit
Did he?
Yeah he was like
Hollywood's it guy
He got overworked
And then he got no more jobs
Oh
Yeah no don't look
There's a real bad
Meme photo of Brendan Fraser from The Mummy
too.
Oh, that's not nice.
He said that meme, oh, I wouldn't mean to go into this.
He said that meme ruined his life, that meme.
Yeah.
That's horrible.
He said it came out when he was really depressed as well, and then all of a sudden people are
making fun of him on the internet.
It's not a nice story.
He's better now though.
Well, we love you, Brendan.
He bought a cattle ranch, and he's got a part on like a cable TV series.
Good for him.
Doing some acting.
They're doing a new Mummy movie soon.
They should definitely get him in there.
I heard Tom Cruise was in that.
Oh, God.
That's what I heard.
Way to send Brendan Fraser back off the rails.
It's my birthday.

Sorry.
That's the winner of Birthday Banger, Duffy Mercy.
Someone's just texted and said,
why is that lady on the radio begging for bird seed?
That's good.
Good from you.
Sorry, I'm eating KFC.
Can you not stroll in here halfway through the song
with a KFC chicken breast in your hand
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.
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.
So if anyone knows what I did.
Look at the other day.
Brie, you were my spirit animal eating KFC during a radio show
I don't want it to go cold
Your spirit animal is getting grease on all the controls
Oh, I would have enjoyed that
It's my birthday It's my birthday.
It's my birthday.
Three and Clint's Birthday Banger.
The podcast.
Yeah!
We take your birthdays, we figure out what was number one on your 16th,
and then we all decide in here what's the best one to play.
First person up to the plate is Jordan.
Hi, Jordan.
Hi, Jordan.
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.
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.
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.
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?
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.
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?
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.
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.
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.
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.
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?
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.
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.
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
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
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
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
Baby, come on home
I can't do this alone
I can't do this alone
Baby, come on home
Come on home Home, home
Home, home
Baby, come on home
Home, home
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,
husband of Megan Louise Pappas, host of Fletch Vaughan and Megan.
That's Come On Home from Titanium. That's the first time I've heard that song. Did you like it? of Megan Louise Tappers, host of Fletch Vaughan and Megan.
That's Come On Home from Titanium.
That's the first time I've heard that song.
Did you like it?
Yeah, I did like it.
Yeah, it's a good song, eh?
It's good.
All right, there you go.
That's Birthday Banger.
We tried to get hold of Andrew to get him on for this momentous occasion,
but he's busy setting up his own cafe.
Yeah.
It's my birthday.
It's my birthday.
Free and Clint's Birthday Banger.
The podcast.
Yeah!
