It's "Return of the Mike" at Bill & Frank's Guilt-Free Pleasures as Mike V returns to discuss the ultimate R&B/Hip-Hop crossover hit of the 90s. We discuss Mark Morrison's fascinating past as well as what makes this song truly incredible. As a bonus - you will be treated to Frank's vaudevillian version of Mark Morrison's voice!

It's quite true that just hearing those guitar plucks on Spandau Ballet's enduring hit will set you adrift on memory bliss. Don't fight it; instead, join us as we celebrate this song and discuss its history as well as its incredible power. You will get to hear Frank do his best Al Green and Tony Hadley impressions while Bill reads from The Lovesong of J Alfred Prufrock and Lolita. And there is so much more! However, you will not hear us actually talk about the meaning of Spandau Ballet If you really want to know, it's here. (We just couldn't go there.)

Love it or hate it, "Kokomo" is a historic hit. With a 22-year-gap in number one hits, The Beach Boys were suddenly back on the scene. Despite Mike Love's notorious heel-turn at the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame ceremony, the band were able to muster enough goodwill to add one final great song to their catalogue, helped by its prominence in the stinker movie Cocktail but also in the episode "Beach Boys Bingo" on the television series Full House. We hope you enjoy the episode!

Before The Way It Is, Another Day In Paradise, or any of those mid-eighties charity singles, there was Moving Pictures' "What About Me?" We discuss the background of the song and it's remarkable two chart runs. And, unlike the people in the song, we actually see the little people "who make the big people big." So listen to us as we listen to those little people whisper, "What about me?"

We may not be visionaries at the same level as Pebbles, but we can see why this tune has maintained its power for over 30 years. We discuss the history of the song (and how it was snatched away from Vanessa Williams), explore the intricacies of the lyrics, and wrestle with the problem of doing too much research on an artist. 
Thank you for joining us!

As far as we're concerned, The Proclaimers are more punk than any of the pop punk outfits that we grew up hearing on the radio. It took us a while to realize this, and we seek to remove our guilt for not appreciating this band enough when we were in our youth. It's not too late to enjoy what the twins have to offer, so we hope you will join us in celebrating "I'm Gonna Be (500 Miles)!"
