    Moving Pictures: "What About Me?" (The Cry of the Proletariat)

    Moving Pictures: "What About Me?" (The Cry of the Proletariat)

    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?"

    Pebbles: "Girlfriend" (We won't treat you so bad)

    Pebbles: "Girlfriend" (We won't treat you so bad)

    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!

    The Proclaimers: "I'm Gonna Be (500 Miles)"

    The Proclaimers: "I'm Gonna Be (500 Miles)"

    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)!"

    Will To Power: "Baby I Love Your Way / Freebird Medley (Free Baby)"

    Will To Power: "Baby I Love Your Way / Freebird Medley (Free Baby)"

    In this week's episode we get back to the basics of what are podcast is all about by exploring one of the few medleys to ever top the Billboard Hot 100. Will To Power's combined version of the Peter Frampton and Lynyrd Skynyrd classics was certainly divisive amongst fans of the originals, but this sound is what we are all about. (At least it is for Bill - we're unsure where Frank stands on this!)
