[SPEAKER_06]: You're the Paul Renative.
[SPEAKER_06]: Well, Bob, Bob, Bob, pour my ass.
[SPEAKER_06]: I'll slap you silly.
[SPEAKER_06]: Just like I'm not gary down the stairs.
[SPEAKER_06]: How about some bincrosby ice cream?
[SPEAKER_05]: Wouldn't it be great if when David Bowie's in that beautiful sumptuous living room Gary Crosby just fell down the steps?
[SPEAKER_06]: By the way, that living room, if we're talking about the drummer boy, what is he, what is he, Dracula's castle?
[SPEAKER_06]: Oh my god, I said the F word.
[SPEAKER_06]: You better get a Christmas.
[SPEAKER_06]: Sorry.
[SPEAKER_06]: Don't get a Christmas.
[SPEAKER_05]: It's a holiday.
[SPEAKER_05]: I actually did a little deep dive on where the David Bowie performance came from.
[SPEAKER_05]: It's his last Bing's last Christmas special and the whole thing is on YouTube.
[SPEAKER_05]: You can watch it.
[SPEAKER_05]: It's called Bing Crosby's Mary M-E-R-R-I-E because it's British.
[SPEAKER_05]: Mary Old Christmas and it's got David Bowie and it's also got all the new kids, the ones he didn't beat.
[SPEAKER_05]: are you sure he didn't have you pretty sure yeah have you watched it watch the whole thing yes what you did yeah I would say about is it horrible half a bottle of whiskey got me through it it was pretty pretty nineteen seventy seven being it was the last time he ever sang last time he ever sang white Christmas it would have been seventy six
[SPEAKER_06]: I did enjoy that.
[SPEAKER_05]: And I like seeing the Bowie stuff in context because he mentioned something about he might be changing.
[SPEAKER_05]: He says, yeah, he does that a lot.
[SPEAKER_05]: There's a guy at British actor.
[SPEAKER_05]: I didn't recognize that plays several roles in the special.
[SPEAKER_05]: So that actually makes that line.
[SPEAKER_06]: So did it go over to England to do it?
[SPEAKER_05]: It looks like some of it did.
[SPEAKER_06]: I can't imagine that it was the building they were in.
[SPEAKER_06]: What was that kind of?
[SPEAKER_06]: That was look like a Hollywood set to me.
[SPEAKER_06]: Some of it really fine.
[SPEAKER_05]: Hey, this piano doesn't have any strings in it, but some of it's really fine.
[SPEAKER_05]: I have to ask this question.
[SPEAKER_06]: I mean, I don't know where we're living in the past here, but like, forty years ago is being ill when they're doing that.
[SPEAKER_06]: It looks pretty together.
[SPEAKER_06]: Really?
[SPEAKER_05]: Yeah.
[SPEAKER_05]: You know, he played golf the day he died.
[SPEAKER_05]: I mean, he played eighteen the day he died.
[SPEAKER_05]: So he was dead.
[SPEAKER_06]: Drop dead on the eighteen.
[SPEAKER_05]: Oh, but what a beautiful day for him.
[SPEAKER_05]: I think I'm going to be one of these people who goes
[SPEAKER_04]: Help me.
[SPEAKER_05]: Really, do you think it's all a long contract?
[SPEAKER_06]: No, I think I'm failing already.
[SPEAKER_06]: I'm freaking failing already.
[SPEAKER_06]: I get two months of actual regular recreation and now I'm back to where I was.
[SPEAKER_06]: Mr. Fibalot.
[SPEAKER_06]: You know what I mean?
[SPEAKER_06]: They're calling hospice.
[SPEAKER_06]: They're going to fix you.
[SPEAKER_06]: I know they're going to fix me.
[SPEAKER_06]: You're going to be better than ever.
[SPEAKER_06]: Try to be in fix.
[SPEAKER_06]: But some of my doctors are really fine.
[SPEAKER_05]: Well, I went to the specialist and he was really fine.
[SPEAKER_05]: The copay was really fine.
[SPEAKER_06]: So one of the things we wanted to do, because it's the last real show that we do the free show before Christmas, we wanted to go through, because you've heard a lot of it, obviously.
[SPEAKER_06]: Sure.
[SPEAKER_06]: Did the John Teshpist earlier the week, but you've heard a lot of Christmas music, but we like it.
[SPEAKER_06]: And you're not going to hear anymore after this.
[SPEAKER_06]: So we decided we wanted to get in on the fun.
[SPEAKER_06]: And I think we weren't a radio station that was playing Christmas music, twenty four seven since Halloween.
[SPEAKER_06]: So we can have a little fun and, you know, what are we like to do on this show more than anything else?
[SPEAKER_06]: We like to blame.
[SPEAKER_06]: Yes.
[SPEAKER_06]: And we like to judge.
[SPEAKER_06]: Yes.
[SPEAKER_06]: So this is judging and blaming.
[SPEAKER_06]: Now you have what is this list that you brought because I'm really suspect about this when it comes to big things like Christmas.
[SPEAKER_05]: Well, what I did is I searched a lot of lists and some of them were really fine.
[SPEAKER_05]: But is this the Rob's B-Wack list?
[SPEAKER_05]: I edited a list of fifty down to twenty four.
[SPEAKER_05]: Twenty four.
[SPEAKER_00]: Because you know what?
[SPEAKER_05]: Some cool blogger wants to throw in some middle charting B side from nineteen seventy five.
[SPEAKER_05]: And frankly, I haven't the time for it.
[SPEAKER_06]: Right.
[SPEAKER_06]: So what you did, what you did is you edited this list and the list that we're playing is going to be really from your mind.
[SPEAKER_05]: Well, yes, but only suggestions.
[SPEAKER_05]: These are the suggestions.
[SPEAKER_05]: Let me explain.
[SPEAKER_06]: I don't know about judgment and blame.
[SPEAKER_06]: And so this will be if we are not happy with this list.
[SPEAKER_05]: Then I will accept your blame in my stock.
[SPEAKER_05]: You can come visit me in my Hollywood castle and blame me.
[SPEAKER_03]: I also have a follow-up question.
[SPEAKER_03]: Yes, go.
[SPEAKER_03]: How confident are you in this list?
[SPEAKER_03]: Very confident.
[SPEAKER_06]: All right, and here's the way.
[SPEAKER_06]: Here's the way I think we should play this.
[SPEAKER_03]: Okay.
[SPEAKER_06]: I think that if we really enjoy it, we give it more time, right?
[SPEAKER_06]: Airtime.
[SPEAKER_06]: If we don't enjoy it, or if one of the members of our wonderful crew does the staff, you may hear this.
[SPEAKER_06]: And that's when you don't like it.
[SPEAKER_06]: Oh, yeah.
[SPEAKER_06]: Okay.
[SPEAKER_06]: All right, so now now we're not going to dive right in now because we're managing to show here.
[SPEAKER_06]: It's all about feeling time.
[SPEAKER_07]: I understand so we should take a break.
[SPEAKER_06]: I think we should take a break.
[SPEAKER_06]: We'll take a break when we come back.
[SPEAKER_06]: It is the Rob speedwack.
[SPEAKER_06]: Hot twenty four when I get to play him on twenty five turns out.
[SPEAKER_06]: It looks out.
[SPEAKER_06]: I thought we had twenty four.
[SPEAKER_06]: I can start doing what are you doing here?
[SPEAKER_05]: I thought it was two dozen cousin.
[SPEAKER_05]: I forgot.
[SPEAKER_05]: Could it what could you just say?
[SPEAKER_05]: We have the way now.
[SPEAKER_06]: I'm not on your show on your way.
[SPEAKER_06]: Thank you very much.
[SPEAKER_05]: Yeah, you never returned my calls for that book.
[SPEAKER_06]: By the way, the Rob Speedwack show on ninety-seven won the wave if you miss a little.
[SPEAKER_06]: Don't worry about it.
[SPEAKER_06]: I will take a break.
[SPEAKER_06]: Uh, we, you know, I'm a little bummed we're not doing our, you know, drunken revelry this year.
[SPEAKER_06]: I really wish we could.
[SPEAKER_05]: Well, the last year it was weird not having.
[SPEAKER_06]: We're doing regular shows this year, right up to the holidays.
[SPEAKER_03]: I think what really solidified it if we were going to pull the curtain back, please do.
[SPEAKER_03]: Sure.
[SPEAKER_03]: Is that last year we had a DC show as far as a live show is concerned, right?
[SPEAKER_03]: So it was one, one afternoon at the DC and probably had a great time than an after party.
[SPEAKER_03]: Right, yes.
[SPEAKER_03]: This year, we had a four day live show in New Orleans.
[SPEAKER_03]: And it taxed everyone's liver and their T-cell count.
[SPEAKER_05]: Yeah, because we really, we should have, if we were to do a Christmas party, we should have planted, starting like maybe the first of December, and we were all still hung over.
[SPEAKER_06]: you know tonight I will be heading down to the beach where my sister is now down here in southwest Florida and I'm calling it margarita I'm gonna turn into a margarita maniac as well we're going to a Mexican restaurant where my sister has secured a reservation for ten people
[SPEAKER_06]: I don't know what I don't know what part of her family's to be in her.
[SPEAKER_06]: I know my brother-in-law is gonna be.
[SPEAKER_05]: The Parsley's.
[SPEAKER_05]: You know what she's probably gonna do.
[SPEAKER_05]: Parsley's.
[SPEAKER_05]: They're all gonna be sitting on the side of the plates.
[SPEAKER_05]: What she's probably gonna do is find a few homeless people and feed them for the holidays.
[SPEAKER_06]: Well, I don't get that.
[SPEAKER_05]: Just because, you know, that's a nice thing to do at Christmas.
[SPEAKER_05]: Maybe she'll bring in some people that don't have anywhere else to go.
[SPEAKER_05]: Maybe that's why she made a reservation.
[SPEAKER_05]: Oh, I would be fine with that.
[SPEAKER_05]: That would be one of the fingers.
[SPEAKER_05]: I think the stranger the better.
[SPEAKER_05]: Yeah.
[SPEAKER_05]: It's really fine.
[SPEAKER_06]: All right.
[SPEAKER_06]: When you put this list together, uh, I'm going to ask one question.
[SPEAKER_06]: Please only one question.
[SPEAKER_06]: All right.
[SPEAKER_06]: Is there an Elvis Presley song on this list?
[SPEAKER_06]: There is, but not one more is there more than one.
[SPEAKER_06]: No.
[SPEAKER_06]: Okay.
[SPEAKER_05]: Um, not one that you would expect either because remember, I ended up already.
[SPEAKER_06]: I hate it.
[SPEAKER_06]: Why can't you?
[SPEAKER_03]: What it hurt you if we just played twenty four, not twenty five.
[SPEAKER_06]: What it's going to be, it's going to be an obscure album cut that he picked out and it's going to be something that's going to be something that's going to be something I said a hundred times.
[SPEAKER_05]: I didn't start the list.
[SPEAKER_05]: I only added it.
[SPEAKER_05]: You jerk.
[SPEAKER_05]: It's the most wonderful time.
[SPEAKER_06]: You know what, it'll be something that's like that that means something to Rob, but nobody else.
[SPEAKER_05]: Hey, what's the stuff that means to me is the good stuff.
[SPEAKER_05]: Yeah, well, it's going to suck.
[SPEAKER_05]: I know it's going to suck.
[SPEAKER_05]: It's the most wonderful time.
[SPEAKER_05]: Amazingly that song is not on the list Okay, you know what that song should be I'm not a sucks on the condolition I know for a fact that you like song number twenty five kind of play to twenty five the first This is the lowest one on the list right.
[SPEAKER_06]: Let's listen
[SPEAKER_06]: I'm a fan of this song.
[SPEAKER_06]: The Eagles.
[SPEAKER_06]: And it always doesn't sound like the Eagles to me.
[SPEAKER_05]: That's what I like about it because it sounds like Don Henley.
[SPEAKER_05]: It's a cover.
[SPEAKER_05]: It's actually an old soul record.
[SPEAKER_05]: I forget the original artist.
[SPEAKER_05]: But their head was, it's like maybe seventy five, seventy six for this one.
[SPEAKER_05]: Who's singing right now?
[SPEAKER_06]: Tenly.
[SPEAKER_06]: I think so.
[SPEAKER_06]: It sounds Glenn fries.
[SPEAKER_06]: No, it sounds like Henley to me.
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, that's time, Emily.
[SPEAKER_06]: What's this?
[SPEAKER_05]: It's a good one for a Christmas party.
[SPEAKER_05]: Good slow dancer.
[SPEAKER_06]: Now I I am here to give you the ding.
[SPEAKER_05]: They won't tell you.
[SPEAKER_06]: You're very very first one is is an is aces in my book.
[SPEAKER_06]: That's all right.
[SPEAKER_06]: By the way, Rob loves Christmas music more than anybody in our group.
[SPEAKER_06]: And I'm going to be cautiously optimistic to say, you know, if the list goes like that like the first song, I'm going to be very pleased.
[SPEAKER_05]: This one goes back to nineteen fifty eight I believe We lost him this year, Mr. Chuck Berry and this one on Rudolph.
[SPEAKER_05]: Yes, okay.
[SPEAKER_06]: Another you know all with hold.
[SPEAKER_06]: I'm gonna with public is I this is this this this is beginning to fall under the DGH category don't get happy, but this is you know what I'm gonna get
[SPEAKER_06]: I'm gonna jinx it by saying this.
[SPEAKER_06]: Don't jinx it.
[SPEAKER_06]: Don't jinx it for the holidays.
[SPEAKER_06]: This may be why I listen to your thing that you do on Christmas Eve because this is okay.
[SPEAKER_06]: This is terrific.
[SPEAKER_06]: Play a little bit.
[SPEAKER_06]: This is this.
[SPEAKER_06]: You never hear this on.
[SPEAKER_02]: Wow.
[SPEAKER_02]: No, no, no.
[SPEAKER_02]: Those ribs.
[SPEAKER_06]: I can hear every program director in the nation that works at those B.S.
[SPEAKER_06]: Christmas stations going.
[SPEAKER_06]: It's not Christmas enough.
[SPEAKER_06]: You don't need to play this one.
[SPEAKER_06]: I hear this and I think Chubby Checker.
[SPEAKER_05]: You're not far off.
[SPEAKER_05]: Here are big gifts.
[SPEAKER_06]: tears what's great about run run.
[SPEAKER_06]: You know what's great about it?
[SPEAKER_06]: It's the same thing to Eagles.
[SPEAKER_06]: The Eagles was a bluesy song.
[SPEAKER_06]: Yeah, this is a rock and roll original kind of rock and roll sound song that incorporates the Christmas thing and I I'm too in a row.
[SPEAKER_06]: You are too you are too for too.
[SPEAKER_05]: When you program Christmas music, it's like going to a concert.
[SPEAKER_05]: You want to hear the hits.
[SPEAKER_05]: You put a hit.
[SPEAKER_05]: All right.
[SPEAKER_05]: Here's the one Elvis song that I selected via this list.
[SPEAKER_05]: So you should know that Elvis recorded two Christmas albums one in nineteen fifty seven when he was young and handsome right and one in nineteen seventy two when he was this is from the second
[SPEAKER_06]: He can tell because he does a lot more of the... He's not trying.
[SPEAKER_06]: That's one for all.
[SPEAKER_06]: Sounds like pills.
[SPEAKER_06]: In the meadow, you can eat a hot dog roll.
[SPEAKER_06]: We'll present that your colon is swollen.
[SPEAKER_05]: This is Elvis's song, Delotted Wonderland.
[SPEAKER_05]: But Elvis didn't.
[SPEAKER_06]: Correct me if I'm wrong Elvis didn't do Christmas albums because it was a a business in Deborah Elvis did Elvis loved Christmas right he loved Christmas the albums were definitely because of the contract requirements.
[SPEAKER_05]: Oh, what okay.
[SPEAKER_06]: He liked more to do gospel music than Christmas music so I'm going to disappoint you Robbie because that would be my first
[SPEAKER_03]: That's fine.
[SPEAKER_06]: No, that was loud.
[SPEAKER_06]: But I just don't, that one doesn't do it.
[SPEAKER_03]: And he sounds like he's piled up.
[SPEAKER_05]: Yeah, but I like the arrangement.
[SPEAKER_05]: Like the arrangement, everyone knows the lyrics.
[SPEAKER_05]: He's all piled up.
[SPEAKER_05]: Here's a guy that never got piled up, okay?
[SPEAKER_05]: Okay.
[SPEAKER_05]: Michael Jackson and his brothers.
[SPEAKER_06]: I saw a mummy kiss Santa Claus.
[SPEAKER_09]: Santa Claus is coming.
[SPEAKER_06]: Okay.
[SPEAKER_06]: I like this.
[SPEAKER_06]: I like Santa Claus.
[SPEAKER_09]: I like Santa Claus.
[SPEAKER_05]: The Motown Christmas album, I think all the Mavic Motown groups eventually did their own albums, but the classic compilation where every Motown artist gets like two or three great albums.
[SPEAKER_05]: Yeah, good.
[SPEAKER_06]: I'm going to give you a ding for this simply because I do believe this song, Michael Jackson Santa Claus is coming to town.
[SPEAKER_06]: Oh, by the way, they're better be one on this list.
[SPEAKER_06]: They're better at being one of them.
[SPEAKER_06]: Or why?
[SPEAKER_06]: Because I don't know I'm not going to do anything.
[SPEAKER_06]: But it was your merry Christmas.
[SPEAKER_06]: I see it a week.
[SPEAKER_06]: I really hope that there's just one that's particularly if you're playing this one.
[SPEAKER_06]: I hope you play the other one.
[SPEAKER_06]: It's the classic.
[SPEAKER_06]: Well, we'll see.
[SPEAKER_06]: We'll see how I did.
[SPEAKER_06]: Let's make sure how you enjoy me as you seem lost.
[SPEAKER_06]: I see.
[SPEAKER_03]: Some of these songs that you guys, they're new to me that you guys love, right?
[SPEAKER_03]: The new to me.
[SPEAKER_03]: Why are you lumping me into it?
[SPEAKER_03]: Like judging him, like you are.
[SPEAKER_03]: Because no, the Elvis, this is a hit.
[SPEAKER_03]: This is a smash hit, right?
[SPEAKER_03]: Earthic Cat, yes.
[SPEAKER_06]: The Elvis song.
[SPEAKER_06]: The original Santa Baby by the name.
[SPEAKER_03]: It was not good.
[SPEAKER_03]: The Jackson's, no, no, ask.
[SPEAKER_03]: They're, of course, they're smash hits, right?
[SPEAKER_06]: Do you know, let me ask you this.
[SPEAKER_06]: She's a trivia question you won't know the answer to.
[SPEAKER_06]: Do you know what's fascinating about this singer, Earthic Cat?
[SPEAKER_06]: What?
[SPEAKER_06]: She looked like a cat.
[SPEAKER_06]: She did.
[SPEAKER_06]: Oh, her name was worth a kid.
[SPEAKER_06]: I think the fact that she looked like a cat.
[SPEAKER_06]: Maybe I never researched how they got her name, but happened.
[SPEAKER_06]: She would always talk like this too.
[SPEAKER_06]: Like play the cat woman.
[SPEAKER_05]: She was the second cat woman.
[SPEAKER_03]: Oh, she's the second.
[SPEAKER_03]: Wow.

[SPEAKER_06]: And he also isn't that what happened to him right?
[SPEAKER_06]: He looked in like his sandbox.
[SPEAKER_05]: Yeah, he was very very abused by his father and yeah, and also yeah, I think the lot of drugs had a lot to do with it.
[SPEAKER_05]: Did some drugs.
[SPEAKER_03]: He's better now because if you blame it on his father technically he was okay as an adult the drugs did him in after the fact.
[SPEAKER_03]: Yeah, but you can blame the drugs on his father.
[SPEAKER_06]: I'm giving that a ding.
[SPEAKER_06]: No, I like it.
[SPEAKER_05]: Very good.
[SPEAKER_06]: What's next number?
[SPEAKER_05]: one of my favorite from the nineteen eighties the waitresses and uh... it's called christmas wrapping long intro honor you familiar with it no i bet you recognize it as he gets him never hear this on uh... you know the christmas stations jontesh never flies this well this little too cool for tash the waitresses were a uh... i guess you call it a new wave man
[SPEAKER_06]: A long long long intro.
[SPEAKER_06]: Great to do a lot on this roast because you like being a DJ.
[SPEAKER_05]: Well, no, I don't necessarily choose a song based on its intro.
[SPEAKER_05]: I like it because of the song.
[SPEAKER_05]: You like your other head.
[SPEAKER_05]: I know what voice like.
[SPEAKER_05]: Oh, yes, because I like what voice like.
[SPEAKER_03]: They are experimental post punk band.
[SPEAKER_03]: Oh.
[SPEAKER_04]: Are they in their semides?
[SPEAKER_03]: Ah, everybody seems to be alive.
[SPEAKER_03]: All right, well, it seems to be alive.
[SPEAKER_06]: All right, we get that a thing.
[SPEAKER_06]: I like that one too.
[SPEAKER_05]: What's next up?
[SPEAKER_05]: I did not play the dialogue intro to it, but as referenced earlier on today's show, Bing Crosby and David Bowie, Bing's last Christmas special, little drummer boy slash piece on earth.
[SPEAKER_06]: Arguably one of the best on the ever-go.
[SPEAKER_05]: Of course the argument was between David Bowie and Big Cross.
[SPEAKER_05]: And my father brings up an interesting point when you see this on YouTube over the holidays and you will note how they do the entire scene without looking at each other.
[SPEAKER_06]: Well, but they're they're kind of doing they're performing.
[SPEAKER_06]: I know people that's your thing that they don't what are they supposed to look into each other's eyes?
[SPEAKER_06]: Dream a life I want to make woopy is that what it is?
[SPEAKER_06]: Wow, bleep that.
[SPEAKER_06]: Both dead man.
[SPEAKER_06]: Yes, they are both dead and make woopy make woopy.
[SPEAKER_06]: Here we go.
[SPEAKER_06]: The next one up.
[SPEAKER_06]: Bonnie how you doing how you doing over there?
[SPEAKER_06]: Pony just gave right.
[SPEAKER_06]: Let me just show you what Pony's look is
[SPEAKER_06]: What a pity.
[SPEAKER_06]: Jingle Bell Rock.
[SPEAKER_05]: You have to include a hint.
[SPEAKER_06]: Yeah, it's a hint.
[SPEAKER_06]: All right, move on.
[SPEAKER_05]: What sadly burned out by Christmas radio, okay?
[SPEAKER_05]: They mentioned the Motown Christmas album.
[SPEAKER_05]: I think this is the best hit single from the Motown Christmas album.
[SPEAKER_05]: An original written by Stevie Wonder for the record.
[SPEAKER_05]: What Christmas means to me?
[SPEAKER_06]: So talented.
[SPEAKER_02]: Very talented.
[SPEAKER_06]: I'm not sure it should be on a top twenty five.
[SPEAKER_02]: Wow.
[SPEAKER_06]: Come on.
[SPEAKER_06]: Any time a Christmas song sounds like you're giving you my opinion.
[SPEAKER_06]: Hey.
[SPEAKER_05]: What's this?
[SPEAKER_05]: This is a one third of Emerson Lake and Palmer.
[SPEAKER_05]: This is Greg Lake and I believe in Father Christmas.
[SPEAKER_05]: This might be a Rob Spuac special here because I haven't heard this.
[SPEAKER_05]: This is a beautiful song and it ends gorgeous.
[SPEAKER_05]: It's delicious.
[SPEAKER_05]: Oh, yeah.
[SPEAKER_05]: It's something that really
[SPEAKER_06]: I've never heard this.
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, sorry.
[SPEAKER_06]: Don't write.
[SPEAKER_06]: Sorry about that.
[SPEAKER_06]: I don't like that one.
[SPEAKER_05]: That's a disappointment.
[SPEAKER_05]: Definitely a lie.
[SPEAKER_06]: All right, yeah, they stepped into Christmas.
[SPEAKER_06]: Mm-hmm.
[SPEAKER_06]: Now in the past, you have always feel like he stepped over some dogdo or something.
[SPEAKER_06]: You put this in the bathroom.
[SPEAKER_03]: Now, put this in the bathroom.
[SPEAKER_03]: Dead.
[SPEAKER_03]: What?
[SPEAKER_03]: March, sixteenth.
[SPEAKER_03]: What, Emerson?
[SPEAKER_06]: Emerson.
[SPEAKER_03]: Emerson.
[SPEAKER_03]: But it's not Emerson.
[SPEAKER_03]: It's great.
[SPEAKER_03]: Like they keep an old Emerson.
[SPEAKER_03]: It's not him.
[SPEAKER_03]: It's great.
[SPEAKER_06]: They're alive or dead.
[SPEAKER_06]: It's like, but Elton John didn't shoot himself.
[SPEAKER_03]: No, no, no, no.
[SPEAKER_03]: He hasn't written this a lot.
[SPEAKER_06]: Yeah, I don't get that one you play from members in Lake and Palmer.
[SPEAKER_06]: I'm not beautiful.
[SPEAKER_05]: Really?
[SPEAKER_06]: That's where that's just swimming in Lake U right there.
[SPEAKER_06]: That's all U. That nobody knows.
[SPEAKER_06]: That's not fair.
[SPEAKER_05]: Because remember, I did not choose this list.
[SPEAKER_05]: I edited a list that already existed.
[SPEAKER_05]: So by saying it's like me, that's not fair.
[SPEAKER_06]: Yeah, if you edit on a list like that, you are choosing your own making choices.
[SPEAKER_06]: Well, I own the fact that it's great.
[SPEAKER_06]: How about that?
[SPEAKER_05]: That's better.
[SPEAKER_06]: Your mother and your father always told you, Rob, make better choices.
[SPEAKER_05]: You know, and I said the same thing to my parents in nineteen seventy.
[SPEAKER_05]: You guys just split it up.
[SPEAKER_05]: That's it.
[SPEAKER_05]: You remember, I was in fourth grade when my dad split.
[SPEAKER_04]: Who's this?
[SPEAKER_05]: Frank, my favorite version of this song, although Judy Garland should get it.
[SPEAKER_05]: His performance is better.
[SPEAKER_06]: I see this is kind of obscure because you don't, this one's not lame.
[SPEAKER_06]: Yeah.
[SPEAKER_06]: But this works, this works.
[SPEAKER_06]: This is wonderful.
[SPEAKER_06]: A great song with a great singer.
[SPEAKER_05]: And the original capital album recording that Frank has.
[SPEAKER_05]: If you can find it, don't buy his reprised stuff.
[SPEAKER_05]: Buy his capital Christmas stuff.
[SPEAKER_05]: It's much better.
[SPEAKER_06]: That's really fun.
[SPEAKER_05]: It's some of it really, really fun.
[SPEAKER_05]: And speaking of capital, here's another one of their famous artists, Nat King Cole.
[SPEAKER_05]: King Cole.
[SPEAKER_06]: Yeah.
[SPEAKER_06]: Really one of the, this is the Christmas song.
[SPEAKER_05]: It is the Christmas song written by Mel Tormay.
[SPEAKER_05]: Just not roasting on an open fire.
[SPEAKER_06]: How can you hear this and not really think about it?
[SPEAKER_03]: I mean, this is almost like a sexual song.
[SPEAKER_06]: Well, you just thinking about the roasted nuts, but I think that that is not necessarily accurate.
[SPEAKER_06]: Yeah, this to me that I would say the definitive Christmas music.
[SPEAKER_05]: And it also it also pisses me off.
[SPEAKER_05]: They recorded it in the dead of summer.
[SPEAKER_03]: Because it sounds like winter doesn't know that.
[SPEAKER_03]: Don't ruin it for me.
[SPEAKER_06]: But by the way, I would say the majority of Americans have never enjoyed a roasted chestnut.
[SPEAKER_06]: Probably not.
[SPEAKER_06]: I think so, but they don't even sell them in New York City anymore.
[SPEAKER_06]: Girls and sweater dresses.
[SPEAKER_06]: Why are you making this section?
[SPEAKER_06]: You'll tie chest hair nuts?
[SPEAKER_03]: Yeah.
[SPEAKER_06]: All right, so the new round number, we're running out of time.
[SPEAKER_05]: This was truly my list.
[SPEAKER_05]: I would put this one at number one.
[SPEAKER_06]: Oh, ladies, gentlemen, darling love.
[SPEAKER_06]: Soiled it for Rob by going on Jimmy Fallon and playing with those children's instruments on the other day.
[SPEAKER_09]: Yeah.
[SPEAKER_06]: But what a marvelous song this is.
[SPEAKER_06]: I mean, the entire Michael Mary show we wish you Merry Christmas.
[SPEAKER_09]: Yeah.
[SPEAKER_05]: This is a situation where every ingredient works on a song.
[SPEAKER_05]: It's just perfect.
[SPEAKER_06]: And Letterman played tribute to her.
[SPEAKER_06]: They tribute to her every year.
[SPEAKER_06]: And it was sad when they did the last version of it.
[SPEAKER_05]: I think they've got twenty five versions on YouTube and you can spend a night watching it.
[SPEAKER_06]: It's always a great show of hands who's seen this performed live.
[SPEAKER_06]: Mr. Rob, Speedwax on her last year.
[SPEAKER_06]: Yeah, I put the, I actually shared the video.
[SPEAKER_05]: I saw it though.
[SPEAKER_05]: I was at the Howard Theater.
[SPEAKER_05]: Damn.
[SPEAKER_05]: And I put a video up from two years ago of this performance.
[SPEAKER_05]: He's still sing.
[SPEAKER_05]: Oh my God, she sounds like he's crying.
[SPEAKER_06]: I remember that video.
[SPEAKER_06]: He put a great video up.
[SPEAKER_06]: Really, really fun.
[SPEAKER_06]: We're fine.
[SPEAKER_05]: All right.
[SPEAKER_05]: And number seven.
[SPEAKER_05]: Seven.
[SPEAKER_05]: We get a fly.
[SPEAKER_05]: We're fly.
[SPEAKER_06]: It's just time depressing, you know, don't be afraid.
[SPEAKER_05]: It's just dopey afraid.
[SPEAKER_05]: Who did that?
[SPEAKER_05]: Who's the author?
[SPEAKER_05]: Band-aid.
[SPEAKER_05]: But it was written by Bob Gelbaugh, I believe.
[SPEAKER_06]: It's Mr. Stein.
[SPEAKER_06]: Don't be afraid.
[SPEAKER_06]: You're gonna die.
[SPEAKER_06]: We're gonna help.
[SPEAKER_05]: This is Prince Watson from Big Country.
[SPEAKER_05]: Feed the people.
[SPEAKER_05]: Stay alive.
[SPEAKER_05]: This I have at number six.
[SPEAKER_06]: Variah Carey, ladies and gentlemen.
[SPEAKER_01]: Oh, one, a smash hit.
[SPEAKER_01]: Maybe the last three questions.
[SPEAKER_01]: I did not expect that.
[SPEAKER_03]: What do you love to see the checks that come to her for just this song?
[SPEAKER_03]: Oh, joy.
[SPEAKER_03]: This song.
[SPEAKER_03]: Yeah.
[SPEAKER_05]: She can buy a lot of chestnuts.
[SPEAKER_05]: Yeah.
[SPEAKER_06]: Some of those checks are really funny.
[SPEAKER_06]: Okay.
[SPEAKER_06]: What's next?
[SPEAKER_06]: All right.
[SPEAKER_06]: What's next, my friend?
[SPEAKER_05]: After this.
[SPEAKER_05]: Let's get to the hook.
[SPEAKER_05]: It's all.
[SPEAKER_05]: Sorry.
[SPEAKER_05]: I know that this is the ban of so many people's existence, but it is so catchy and come on.
[SPEAKER_05]: It's Palmer Park.
[SPEAKER_06]: People don't realize how young it is.
[SPEAKER_06]: This is not that old asong.
[SPEAKER_06]: Right.
[SPEAKER_06]: This is from the nineteen eighties, ladies and gentlemen.
[SPEAKER_06]: This is not that, John Lennon and Yoko.
[UNKNOWN]: Adam.
[SPEAKER_05]: Yeah, all right.
[SPEAKER_06]: That's fine.
[SPEAKER_06]: That you hear that on every Christmas.
[SPEAKER_05]: Some of it really fine.
