Bill and Frank’s Guilt-Free Pleasures

• Eddie Money: "Take Me Home Tonight" (Ronnie Spector gets her due)

  Beyond its surface reading, "Take Me Home Tonight" is also about the revival of the careers of Eddie Money and Ronnie Spector. This song is a triumph. In today's episode, we examine the histories of both artists that ultimately converge into this top ten hit, we analyse the song, and we bring back (albeit briefly) the theme of tender-hearted werewolves in a guilt-free pleasure.  Links: Official Video Take Me Home Tonight on Letterman Be My Baby by the Ronettes Thank you for being part of our journey!

• Tina Turner: "The Best" (Happy Birthday, Frank!)

  We recorded this on Frank's birthday and Bill chose this song in his honour. Despite Frank researching the wrong song, we feel it still all comes together. Stay tuned for the surprise birthday wishes at the episode's end!

• Montell Jordan: "This Is How We Do It" (Conviviality and the Phrygian Mode with Mike V)

  Mike V joins us to discuss this bonafide jam from 1995.

• Kim Wilde: "You Keep Me Hangin' On" (throw that guy down the catwalk!)

  The ending of a relationship may be painful, but it's far worse for the narrator of Holland-Dozier-Holland's "You Keep Me Hangin' On" - the ending never quite seems to come for this jilted lover. This song has resonated over the decades as evidenced by it's many versions, starting with original Supremes version and all the way up to recent times in Glee. Today we will be celebrating our favourite version: the hi-NRG Kim Wilde 1986 classic! We dive deep into the history of Wilde as well share a close analysis of the song. It can be a tough episode for those who've been burned by love, but that's what we're here for - let us be your soft place to land if you've been hanging on too long.

• Toto: "Africa" (with Kim Desing-McCardle)

  Our friend Kim Desing-McCardle joins us to discuss one of her all-time favourite songs. This is a longer one, but we cannot do this song justice in a brief amount of time. Speaking of doing justice - we valiantly attempt to do our best three part harmony for our version of the chorus and prove that any imitation of this incredible song is second rate. But we certainly tried.  Links: Official Video Angel City Chorale version Weezer version Thank you for being part of our journey!
