my Facebook group is called Jason Newlands Group, and if

11
00:01:02.079 --> 00:01:06.159
you'd like to join in groovy So what I thought

12
00:01:06.200 --> 00:01:09.920
i'd do? What I thought I would do. I sound

13
00:01:10.040 --> 00:01:16.959
very young today for some reason, don't sound my actual age.

14
00:01:17.519 --> 00:01:22.599
I was last night. I was going I think I

15
00:01:22.680 --> 00:01:28.040
was on YouTube going through some of the not my YouTube, no,

16
00:01:28.079 --> 00:01:32.120
I think it was Apple Music, and I was just

17
00:01:32.200 --> 00:01:35.480
going through some of the music that I some of

18
00:01:35.519 --> 00:01:41.359
the songs that I like, and I forget how many

19
00:01:41.400 --> 00:01:47.480
songs I actually really like from the past. And sometimes

20
00:01:47.519 --> 00:01:51.159
I do get asked that question. By the way, it's

21
00:01:51.239 --> 00:01:54.719
Vinnie in the background. If you're wondering all that noises

22
00:01:57.599 --> 00:02:00.239
I do get asked what's my favorite song or my

23
00:02:00.280 --> 00:02:03.319
favorite album, and off the top of my head, I

24
00:02:03.359 --> 00:02:07.640
seem to come up with very similar question answers. Rather,

25
00:02:09.919 --> 00:02:14.319
but if I have the information in front of me,

26
00:02:14.719 --> 00:02:23.199
like all the different songs that have been released, I've

27
00:02:23.240 --> 00:02:27.879
got more of an opportunity to actually be reminded of

28
00:02:28.960 --> 00:02:33.080
some of the songs that I'd forgotten about. So what

29
00:02:33.120 --> 00:02:37.360
I'm going to do for this Monday's boring objects I'm

30
00:02:37.400 --> 00:02:41.000
going to I'm just going to talk about some of

31
00:02:41.039 --> 00:02:47.759
my favorite songs from the eighties. Now I'm probably gonna, Yeah,

32
00:02:47.759 --> 00:02:50.159
I want to go maybe my favorite it might just

33
00:02:50.199 --> 00:02:53.280
be my favorite songs from nineteen eighty because I don't

34
00:02:53.319 --> 00:02:55.719
know how far I can go, because I'm going to

35
00:02:55.800 --> 00:03:01.159
look through the whole year, Becau It's not just number

36
00:03:01.199 --> 00:03:04.039
one hits that I would like. There's going to be

37
00:03:04.360 --> 00:03:06.800
songs that maybe we're in the top ten, top twenty,

38
00:03:06.919 --> 00:03:11.240
top thirty, even that I might have really liked. So

39
00:03:11.280 --> 00:03:15.360
I don't want to just find the number one hits

40
00:03:15.439 --> 00:03:20.039
from the UK, you know, in nineteen eighty, because might

41
00:03:20.120 --> 00:03:24.400
gave them. Give me maybe thirty songs, maybe twenty seven

42
00:03:24.479 --> 00:03:27.439
songs or whatever. Because sometimes songs are there for more

43
00:03:27.479 --> 00:03:33.159
than one week, aren't they? So yeah, so I thought,

44
00:03:33.159 --> 00:03:37.240
I just I'm not on the website called official charts

45
00:03:37.400 --> 00:03:43.759
dot com. Now I hope that this is only going

46
00:03:43.840 --> 00:03:49.560
to be in the UK. It won't matter too much

47
00:03:49.680 --> 00:03:54.479
because there's a crossover obviously. I mean, so many songs

48
00:03:54.520 --> 00:04:01.400
that I loved were from other countries. However, there's gonna

49
00:04:01.439 --> 00:04:05.599
be I mean, I know, sometimes old I hear a

50
00:04:05.639 --> 00:04:10.680
song and it was a massive hit in America, absolutely

51
00:04:10.960 --> 00:04:14.360
huge hit. I saw one the other day. It was

52
00:04:16.040 --> 00:04:18.720
something on YouTube. I think there's this Morning. Actually it

53
00:04:18.759 --> 00:04:21.800
was some really random and it was like something the

54
00:04:21.920 --> 00:04:24.480
Corner or something, and it was the Jackson five and

55
00:04:24.519 --> 00:04:29.720
apparently it was a big hit in America. Never heard

56
00:04:29.720 --> 00:04:35.480
the song before. So I'm just going to go through

57
00:04:35.720 --> 00:04:39.519
nineteen eighty, so the top charts in this is the

58
00:04:39.639 --> 00:04:45.839
first twentieth of the first nineteen eighty Brass in Pockets,

59
00:04:46.360 --> 00:04:51.720
the Pretenders. Okay, so I'm not gonna I'm just gonna

60
00:04:51.759 --> 00:04:55.000
go through a lot of these songs I'm not necessarily

61
00:04:55.040 --> 00:05:00.839
gonna remember. But then if I heard it, I probably think, oh,

62
00:05:01.240 --> 00:05:05.000
but I'm not going to hear it because I'm doing this.

63
00:05:05.079 --> 00:05:10.120
I can't play music, not chart music. It'd be nice

64
00:05:10.160 --> 00:05:14.879
if I could, because I'd like to do a kind

65
00:05:14.879 --> 00:05:18.120
of like a weekly radio show where I played music

66
00:05:18.160 --> 00:05:22.040
that I like, maybe even did I like the I do,

67
00:05:22.240 --> 00:05:24.879
Maybe doing too one show of the weekend, maybe on

68
00:05:24.920 --> 00:05:30.680
a sad day, where I talk music I like, and

69
00:05:30.720 --> 00:05:36.319
then the Sunday show could be a request show. But

70
00:05:36.360 --> 00:05:38.040
it doesn't seem to be any way of doing that,

71
00:05:39.639 --> 00:05:44.519
like legally doing that without it costing money, which is

72
00:05:44.560 --> 00:05:47.720
a shame because Spotify used to allow that a few

73
00:05:47.800 --> 00:05:52.040
years back, and I did do a few episodes where

74
00:05:52.079 --> 00:05:56.800
I could just do a mixture of this and play

75
00:05:56.800 --> 00:05:58.560
a song, so I'd like to talk about the song,

76
00:05:59.319 --> 00:06:01.360
what it meant to me, you know, all that stuff,

77
00:06:02.199 --> 00:06:05.680
all that drivel, and then played this song, so it's

78
00:06:05.759 --> 00:06:11.079
kind of yeah, So I'm looking at this my girl

79
00:06:11.120 --> 00:06:20.560
from Madness, My Girl, my girl, so it's my girl.

80
00:06:21.040 --> 00:06:24.560
I liked that. I liked everything Madness did, so I

81
00:06:24.560 --> 00:06:27.240
don't remember that particular song off the top of my head.

82
00:06:28.279 --> 00:06:31.519
But then here number four, I'm in the mood for Dancing,

83
00:06:32.639 --> 00:06:37.160
one of my favorite songs that I never even think

84
00:06:37.199 --> 00:06:42.319
about me in the mood for dancing. I actually dreamt

85
00:06:42.319 --> 00:06:46.120
about the Nolan sisters last night. I dated one of

86
00:06:46.160 --> 00:06:52.839
them in my dream. That is very strange if they

87
00:06:53.079 --> 00:06:59.959
random as well, so it's kind of I mean, number

88
00:07:00.079 --> 00:07:03.199
one was brass in Pocket. The Pretender's number two is

89
00:07:03.240 --> 00:07:06.279
with You I'm Born Again Billy Preston and so Rita.

90
00:07:07.600 --> 00:07:09.879
I probably know both those songs, but I don't. I

91
00:07:09.959 --> 00:07:14.959
can't think what they are So nineteen eighty it's kind

92
00:07:15.000 --> 00:07:19.199
of still similar songs from nineteen seventies. It's kind of

93
00:07:19.199 --> 00:07:24.079
the crossover period, isn't it. The music's starting to change,

94
00:07:26.199 --> 00:07:27.959
and then at the end of the eighties a song

95
00:07:27.959 --> 00:07:32.480
that the music changed again into being dominated in the

96
00:07:32.560 --> 00:07:41.519
UK by Stockhak and Waterman with Kylie Minogue and Jason

97
00:07:41.600 --> 00:07:54.079
Donovan and Rick Aslee and Sanita and Yeah, some of

98
00:07:54.120 --> 00:07:57.560
the songs were catchy, but I just wasn't. It wasn't

99
00:07:57.600 --> 00:08:03.480
for me. Although I did like Rick Cassley his voice.

100
00:08:03.800 --> 00:08:08.959
I didn't really like his songs, the hits, but he

101
00:08:09.079 --> 00:08:13.199
did do when I Fall in Love, like the ballad

102
00:08:13.199 --> 00:08:16.399
and it's very good. I saw him sing it alive.

103
00:08:17.399 --> 00:08:23.480
Such a great singer. But you know, anyway, I'm in

104
00:08:23.519 --> 00:08:27.600
the mood for dancing. I remember hearing that, why is

105
00:08:27.720 --> 00:08:37.399
my laptop vibrating? It is a laptop, isn't it. It's weird.

106
00:08:39.000 --> 00:08:45.720
I remember being at a wedding, so I guess it

107
00:08:45.759 --> 00:08:48.879
must have been nineteen eighty. So I wedd inside of

108
00:08:48.919 --> 00:08:58.159
being nine and see to me, Ironba was like tiny,

109
00:08:58.200 --> 00:09:01.799
but I probably was tiny at nine, so yeah, but

110
00:09:02.279 --> 00:09:03.840
for some reason I thought it was a lot earlier

111
00:09:03.879 --> 00:09:07.399
than that. So the I'm in the mood for dancing

112
00:09:07.639 --> 00:09:12.200
was being played and I was dancing, and then my

113
00:09:12.240 --> 00:09:15.799
stepmother had a headache or something and she went home

114
00:09:17.919 --> 00:09:22.039
and my dad took me and my three brothers. I

115
00:09:22.080 --> 00:09:25.200
guess she must have gone. I don't know who who

116
00:09:25.279 --> 00:09:29.360
the baby was with my little brother, but we all

117
00:09:29.399 --> 00:09:33.519
went out into the sea, which is I think, and

118
00:09:33.559 --> 00:09:37.799
it's nighttime, and I do believe it's the first and

119
00:09:37.919 --> 00:09:42.799
only time we ever went into the sea together. I

120
00:09:42.879 --> 00:09:45.559
just remember that. And it's the only first time I

121
00:09:45.639 --> 00:09:48.159
ever felt safe in the sea because my dad was there.

122
00:09:48.840 --> 00:09:54.639
It's weird, isn't it better? Okay, I want to hold

123
00:09:54.679 --> 00:09:58.799
your hand. Dollar, No, I don't remember that one. I

124
00:09:58.840 --> 00:10:05.000
remember Dollar because they were on the Rod Harris Show.

125
00:10:05.080 --> 00:10:09.799
When I was on the Rod Harry Show. But they

126
00:10:09.840 --> 00:10:14.919
had one really big hit all Pink Floyd Another Brick

127
00:10:15.000 --> 00:10:19.240
in the Wall. I like that song, but I don't

128
00:10:19.279 --> 00:10:23.159
really remember it, like when it came out. I kind

129
00:10:23.159 --> 00:10:26.480
of I thought another I thought it was like from

130
00:10:26.519 --> 00:10:33.600
the seventies, that song, Oh another break in the war,

131
00:10:34.200 --> 00:10:39.559
blah blah, tears of a clown, that beat. It's different

132
00:10:39.600 --> 00:10:44.120
for girls. Joe Jackson, I have a dreamer Abba. Yep,

133
00:10:45.440 --> 00:10:51.200
it's quite weird because see this is a game kind

134
00:10:51.240 --> 00:10:57.759
of strange because he's nineteen eighty. I thought Abba was

135
00:10:57.799 --> 00:11:02.480
pretty much over and done with, Bye bye nineteen eighty,

136
00:11:03.399 --> 00:11:05.200
not over and dig with. But I had like such

137
00:11:05.240 --> 00:11:09.320
a huge success in the seventies. I didn't know they

138
00:11:09.360 --> 00:11:11.720
had any hits in the eighties, but clearly they did

139
00:11:12.080 --> 00:11:16.240
because I have a Dreams brilliant. They peaked at number

140
00:11:16.240 --> 00:11:19.639
two though, I have a dream.

141
00:11:20.480 --> 00:11:27.360
Yeah, London calling the clash, so this is where the

142
00:11:27.399 --> 00:11:28.679
seventies clashed.

143
00:11:28.879 --> 00:11:32.360
To see what I did there with the eighties, so

144
00:11:32.480 --> 00:11:37.000
people like the Clash. The Specials kind of carried on

145
00:11:37.159 --> 00:11:41.360
from the seventies to the eighties, so they almost kind

146
00:11:41.360 --> 00:11:44.960
of created the eighties in a sort of a new way.

147
00:11:46.200 --> 00:11:53.159
And London call in I remember that one. But Luke

148
00:11:53.320 --> 00:11:59.039
loved the clash London Calling and oh, I forget what

149
00:11:59.120 --> 00:12:03.799
the other one group, the Specials too Much, too Young,

150
00:12:04.519 --> 00:12:09.159
too much, too young, too much, too young do do

151
00:12:09.360 --> 00:12:14.360
do something like that. They did a really good song

152
00:12:14.440 --> 00:12:21.360
called ghost Town. It's down, ah, living in a ghost town,

153
00:12:21.879 --> 00:12:26.080
all the things that are down, something like that. And

154
00:12:27.480 --> 00:12:31.200
I actually went to lunch with him, the bloke from

155
00:12:31.200 --> 00:12:35.720
the Specials. He's no longer with us, unfortunately, but I

156
00:12:35.759 --> 00:12:39.399
didn't know who he was. So there was this lady

157
00:12:39.519 --> 00:12:43.759
called Helen. She was a BBC. She was I think

158
00:12:43.759 --> 00:12:45.759
she was self improved at this point, but she was

159
00:12:45.799 --> 00:12:53.840
a producer, film producer and TV producer, producer and I

160
00:12:53.879 --> 00:12:56.200
don't know why, but we just built a friendship up.

161
00:12:56.519 --> 00:12:59.720
She'd started doing comedy. We met at a comedy gig

162
00:13:00.399 --> 00:13:04.279
and we just hit it off. She was probably in

163
00:13:04.320 --> 00:13:13.080
her thirties. I was what was I twenty And this

164
00:13:13.200 --> 00:13:15.399
is in the nineties when I matter, I was probably

165
00:13:15.440 --> 00:13:24.200
like twenty two maybe and twenty three. And she used

166
00:13:24.240 --> 00:13:26.720
to take me out. It wasn't a relationship, although I

167
00:13:26.720 --> 00:13:28.759
started to have I think I started to have a

168
00:13:28.759 --> 00:13:30.480
few feelings for her because I spent so much time

169
00:13:30.519 --> 00:13:35.120
with her, but it wasn't a relationship like romance. But

170
00:13:36.080 --> 00:13:39.519
she just liked spending time with me, and she used

171
00:13:39.559 --> 00:13:43.360
to take me to theaters, take me to concerts, take

172
00:13:43.399 --> 00:13:48.240
me out for meals. And I kind of got a

173
00:13:48.320 --> 00:13:51.639
chance to see the other side of life, you know,

174
00:13:51.759 --> 00:13:58.519
the side where there was no no penny, no penny counting,

175
00:13:58.840 --> 00:14:02.360
no or it's checked what I can afford on the menu.

176
00:14:03.440 --> 00:14:11.200
And it felt quite nice and I did it. Part

177
00:14:11.240 --> 00:14:13.480
of people was like, am I taking advantage of her?

178
00:14:13.519 --> 00:14:19.039
But I wasn't, because I don't really care like that.

179
00:14:19.399 --> 00:14:21.519
In them days, I couldn't care if I was eating

180
00:14:21.519 --> 00:14:26.840
in a top class restaurant or in McDonald's. I really

181
00:14:26.879 --> 00:14:31.200
didn't care. As long as I was able to fill

182
00:14:31.240 --> 00:14:37.799
my tummy, that's really, you know, with something tasty hopefully.

183
00:14:38.879 --> 00:14:41.720
But yeah, I think part of the reason it wasn't

184
00:14:41.799 --> 00:14:44.919
costing her money to go to a lot of these

185
00:14:44.960 --> 00:14:48.960
concerts because she'd get tickets sent to her because I

186
00:14:49.000 --> 00:14:51.759
wanted to give her to give reviews, and because she

187
00:14:51.879 --> 00:14:55.159
was a TV producer and she knew a lot of people,

188
00:14:56.440 --> 00:15:00.279
and so she'd get a lot of comp tickets. See, yeah,

189
00:15:00.320 --> 00:15:06.039
I went to one, I went to a concert. I

190
00:15:06.080 --> 00:15:09.200
forget his name that he did. He had one really

191
00:15:09.240 --> 00:15:13.799
big hit American guy with a like all this kind

192
00:15:13.840 --> 00:15:20.039
of style hair. What is his name? I forget his name,

193
00:15:20.960 --> 00:15:27.279
really really super good looking bloke and he it's a

194
00:15:27.320 --> 00:15:30.120
really good song as well, like the one that he is,

195
00:15:30.200 --> 00:15:32.159
one of those like really really good songs in the

196
00:15:32.240 --> 00:15:38.559
nineties that was like a huge hit, and off the

197
00:15:38.559 --> 00:15:41.639
back of that he was able to sell out concerts

198
00:15:41.679 --> 00:15:47.960
and stuff around the world. I guess, oh, it's his name. Anyway,

199
00:15:47.960 --> 00:15:55.679
we went along, we got bored and left because I

200
00:15:55.720 --> 00:15:58.519
only knew one song. I wasn't a fan of his,

201
00:16:01.720 --> 00:16:04.080
but we just couldn't be bothered. It was full of

202
00:16:05.399 --> 00:16:09.559
there's a lot of very young females screaming, and I

203
00:16:09.639 --> 00:16:13.519
was like, Okay, this isn't really It was a little bit,

204
00:16:13.559 --> 00:16:16.320
I don't know, just fee a bit strange being there,

205
00:16:17.360 --> 00:16:20.320
and I didn't know. If it had been someone that

206
00:16:20.360 --> 00:16:25.919
I knew, I could have got super excited, probably, but

207
00:16:25.919 --> 00:16:30.919
but there's one point when he gets on stage. Everyone's

208
00:16:30.919 --> 00:16:35.120
sitting in their chairs in their seats and it's it's

209
00:16:37.480 --> 00:16:40.159
I don't know, a theater. There's probably a couple of

210
00:16:40.200 --> 00:16:46.120
thousand people in there, and he's standing there and everyone's

211
00:16:46.120 --> 00:16:54.279
clapping and whatever, and he starts talking to everyone, and

212
00:16:54.360 --> 00:16:57.240
you know, he looks great, sounds great, isn't I don't

213
00:16:57.279 --> 00:17:03.759
think he's actually started singing yet. And this surprised me.

214
00:17:03.840 --> 00:17:06.680
He said to the audience, he said, you can come

215
00:17:06.759 --> 00:17:10.079
up and is this totally true. I'm not making this up.

216
00:17:10.279 --> 00:17:12.759
He said, you can come up to the front if

217
00:17:12.759 --> 00:17:17.240
you want and scream. You can stand at the front

218
00:17:17.279 --> 00:17:21.160
and scream if you want. So all these girls just

219
00:17:21.200 --> 00:17:24.960
started running up and screaming, and I just thought it

220
00:17:24.960 --> 00:17:30.440
was quite weird that you almost need to instigate it yourself.

221
00:17:31.440 --> 00:17:33.480
But yeah, it was. I don't know, it was funny,

222
00:17:33.880 --> 00:17:36.039
but we didn't. I don't know if it was that

223
00:17:36.119 --> 00:17:38.880
I didn't want to watch it or that she didn't

224
00:17:38.880 --> 00:17:40.920
want to watch it, the lady I was with. But

225
00:17:41.000 --> 00:17:45.000
in the end we left. But I did go to

226
00:17:45.119 --> 00:17:49.880
a few like operas, and I think and I also

227
00:17:50.000 --> 00:17:59.200
went to see Waiting for Godo, which had rigged mail

228
00:17:59.400 --> 00:18:03.000
and age and Edmondson in and there was a huge

229
00:18:03.039 --> 00:18:05.279
wait for it to start because he hadn't turned up

230
00:18:05.359 --> 00:18:07.680
or he was late getting there. I think, Rick mal,

231
00:18:08.920 --> 00:18:11.359
I'm pretty sure it's quite weird. Because it was waiting

232
00:18:11.359 --> 00:18:13.559
for God, wasn't it. So we were waiting for Rick Mail.

233
00:18:16.440 --> 00:18:18.400
And I think it was like half an hour forty

234
00:18:18.440 --> 00:18:25.559
minutes late starting, but everybody wanted to see Rick Mal

235
00:18:25.720 --> 00:18:28.440
because Rick Mail. If you don't know who Rick Mail is,

236
00:18:28.759 --> 00:18:32.559
or or Adrian Nipinson if you're not from the UK

237
00:18:32.759 --> 00:18:37.640
and you've not heard of them, they were in a

238
00:18:37.759 --> 00:18:45.880
TV they're basically heroes of comedy in this country. They're icons. Really.

239
00:18:46.759 --> 00:18:53.319
They were in The Young Ones, which was a anarchic

240
00:18:53.680 --> 00:18:58.759
TV show in the eighties early eighties, well eighty three

241
00:18:58.839 --> 00:19:05.319
eighty four, so and so they were both comedians, comedy

242
00:19:05.400 --> 00:19:08.880
actors and stuff. And then they went on and did

243
00:19:08.960 --> 00:19:16.440
have their own double act where they was it called

244
00:19:16.480 --> 00:19:20.519
philf Come in what was called Bottom. That's it. They

245
00:19:20.559 --> 00:19:24.440
had their own TV show called Bottom, which they performed

246
00:19:24.480 --> 00:19:27.160
all around the country maybe around the world, I don't know.

247
00:19:28.039 --> 00:19:31.920
And that went on for ages long, many many years.

248
00:19:34.039 --> 00:19:36.319
And Rick Mal was also in lots of different like

249
00:19:36.559 --> 00:19:46.240
sitcoms and stuff. And I think Adrian Edmondson did he

250
00:19:46.319 --> 00:19:48.599
did a bit more serious stuff later on because he

251
00:19:48.680 --> 00:19:52.440
was in Holby City, so he was really he's just

252
00:19:52.599 --> 00:20:02.079
really good actor. They were both really good actors. But yeah, yeah,

253
00:20:02.240 --> 00:20:10.240
this is that. I remember one that Ricky or did he?

254
00:20:10.559 --> 00:20:14.079
There was? Oh, what's the TV show? It was about

255
00:20:14.319 --> 00:20:29.920
a minister called Bastard Alan Bastard and it's very funny.

256
00:20:31.039 --> 00:20:33.160
So Rick Mail, I don't say, Ricky didn't I Rick

257
00:20:33.279 --> 00:20:36.359
Mail was the star of that and it was very good,

258
00:20:36.599 --> 00:20:39.880
very funny. That was in the like eighty six eight

259
00:20:39.880 --> 00:20:42.960
and probably about eighty eight times eighty nine. Hey yeah,

260
00:20:43.000 --> 00:20:49.200
yeah nine anyway, but I also so going back to Helen.

261
00:20:52.039 --> 00:20:55.200
I went and she said I want to meet up

262
00:20:55.279 --> 00:21:00.240
with her. She lived in where did she live? What's

263
00:21:00.279 --> 00:21:07.319
that movie? A North London movie named after the North

264
00:21:07.400 --> 00:21:11.519
London area from a blower did three weddings in a

265
00:21:11.559 --> 00:21:18.279
funeral notting Hill. She lived in notting Hill and she

266
00:21:18.359 --> 00:21:22.480
lived in this really nice area, big streets, loads of trees.

267
00:21:23.200 --> 00:21:27.880
She lived in this flat which was biger than a house.

268
00:21:28.480 --> 00:21:34.279
It was like really quite a nice place. I couldn't

269
00:21:34.319 --> 00:21:36.480
find her for ages, honestly, it was like it wasn't

270
00:21:36.480 --> 00:21:40.759
on the eight's. It was hidden. Anyway. I went to

271
00:21:40.839 --> 00:21:45.279
visit her one day and she I think it's Saturday,

272
00:21:46.359 --> 00:21:48.319
and she said, Oh, I'm going for lunch she would

273
00:21:48.319 --> 00:21:52.000
go for lunch. She said, oh, okay, So she went

274
00:21:52.039 --> 00:21:53.759
to lunch and then when we got there, she said, oh,

275
00:21:53.799 --> 00:21:57.680
I'm meeting I can't remember her name. I have to

276
00:21:57.799 --> 00:22:04.640
put it in now the special. See. I didn't realize.

277
00:22:05.200 --> 00:22:12.640
Okay he Terry Hall. That's it, Terry Hall. So Terry Hall.

278
00:22:14.039 --> 00:22:17.000
She said, oh, I got a friend coming along and said, okay, cool.

279
00:22:17.400 --> 00:22:19.240
I didn't like the idea of that. But I said, oh,

280
00:22:19.400 --> 00:22:22.880
fair enough. Not Paytrie girl, is it? And she said no.

281
00:22:22.920 --> 00:22:28.359
I said okay, fair enough and she said it's Terry Hall.

282
00:22:28.839 --> 00:22:35.119
I said, yeah, it means nothing to me. And so

283
00:22:36.319 --> 00:22:38.160
he came along and they were just talking and had known

284
00:22:38.200 --> 00:22:41.640
each other, seemed like forever, good friends, and it was

285
00:22:41.759 --> 00:22:46.200
really friendly, really nice bloke, and she was talking about

286
00:22:46.200 --> 00:22:48.599
what's he up to, and they were talking about music

287
00:22:48.680 --> 00:22:50.680
and some stuff that he was getting on with. And

288
00:22:51.519 --> 00:22:55.799
but at no point did he mention or did she

289
00:22:55.920 --> 00:23:00.119
mention to me that he was a big star like

290
00:23:00.240 --> 00:23:02.839
he'd been in I think three big bands in the UK.

291
00:23:05.799 --> 00:23:08.240
Terry Hall. I mean, he's not around anymore, but he was.

292
00:23:09.799 --> 00:23:15.240
He kind of was is it Scar? He almost kind

293
00:23:15.240 --> 00:23:18.759
of I think created Scar, a sort of certain type

294
00:23:18.799 --> 00:23:27.279
of music, which then led to Madness and maybe Adam

295
00:23:27.279 --> 00:23:33.319
Andiants should we say possibly, I don't know. Anyway, very

296
00:23:33.319 --> 00:23:35.839
influential and had loads of people in the band. It

297
00:23:35.960 --> 00:23:39.279
wasn't just like three people or four people. There was lots,

298
00:23:40.079 --> 00:23:43.160
So he was never going to make a huge amount

299
00:23:43.200 --> 00:23:46.400
of money if he was shared out amongst everyone, and

300
00:23:46.440 --> 00:23:48.759
I quite like that. I think he was just having

301
00:23:48.759 --> 00:23:53.200
fun with his friends, you know. And they did such

302
00:23:53.240 --> 00:23:56.559
a great song, ghost Town, which was number one for

303
00:23:56.559 --> 00:23:59.359
a couple of weeks, but that's later on in the eighties.

304
00:24:01.039 --> 00:24:03.720
I'm not sure if I'm going to get past the

305
00:24:03.759 --> 00:24:11.000
first week of nineteen eighty one. That's not good, is it?

306
00:24:12.079 --> 00:24:15.400
How am I going to? How am I supposed to?

307
00:24:17.559 --> 00:24:22.759
Maybe this should be my new weekly recording songs. I

308
00:24:22.920 --> 00:24:28.480
like the charts from the nineteen eighties because I'm going

309
00:24:28.519 --> 00:24:32.279
to struggle to get through just one week. So if

310
00:24:32.319 --> 00:24:35.519
you think about that, that's going to be fifty two

311
00:24:35.599 --> 00:24:41.400
weeks times by ten years, five hundred and twenty recordings,

312
00:24:42.000 --> 00:24:47.400
five hundred and twenty years, five hundred and twenty years. Really,

313
00:24:48.400 --> 00:24:53.119
so each year is going to be one Yeah, it's

314
00:24:53.119 --> 00:24:54.680
going to take me one year to do isn't it

315
00:24:55.680 --> 00:25:04.000
fifty two, which means maybe I should have started in

316
00:25:04.119 --> 00:25:07.440
nineteen seventy. But then that wouldn't make sense with it

317
00:25:07.480 --> 00:25:09.720
because that means I have to live to be another

318
00:25:12.319 --> 00:25:16.079
fifty five years old. But then by the time I'm

319
00:25:16.240 --> 00:25:19.400
in another fifty five years, there'll be another fifty five

320
00:25:19.480 --> 00:25:30.880
years to talk about. Oh, unless I just say my

321
00:25:31.000 --> 00:25:37.720
favorite songs, So this could be the first episode of

322
00:25:37.759 --> 00:25:43.359
my favorite songs, But then I've already started it on

323
00:25:44.119 --> 00:25:51.680
the boring Monday. Perhaps if I hadn't mentioned boring Monday's objects,

324
00:25:52.440 --> 00:25:55.880
but then I keep mentioning boring Monday's objects Monday's boring

325
00:25:55.920 --> 00:26:02.559
objects rather, I don't know anyways, So I'm talking, we're

326
00:26:02.640 --> 00:26:07.079
just having a nice chat. See if i'd known but

327
00:26:07.319 --> 00:26:11.319
known how I was back then when the waiter came

328
00:26:11.359 --> 00:26:17.759
around and sort of said, oh, are you ready to

329
00:26:18.759 --> 00:26:22.400
are you ready to order? How could I not have said,

330
00:26:23.279 --> 00:26:28.200
what are the specials? Today? Watched Today's specials? Because he

331
00:26:28.279 --> 00:26:31.440
was in a bank called the specials, and I looked stupid.

332
00:26:31.920 --> 00:26:36.759
It looked really dumb. I'd have found it hilarious as well.

333
00:26:36.759 --> 00:26:40.519
At the time. He probably wouldn't have done she might

334
00:26:40.519 --> 00:26:43.960
have done. I don't know. She might have just been embarrassed,

335
00:26:44.319 --> 00:26:46.200
but I think that was part of the deal. I

336
00:26:46.240 --> 00:26:49.319
was quite embarrassing. I think she quite found that quite amusing.

337
00:26:50.319 --> 00:26:58.920
And he was lovely, really nice bloke. Now back then

338
00:26:59.160 --> 00:27:03.799
I was did not like meeting new people. I've never

339
00:27:03.880 --> 00:27:08.400
really enjoyed meeting new people. I'm okay once I meet them.

340
00:27:08.559 --> 00:27:12.359
Once I've kind of kind of got to know if

341
00:27:12.400 --> 00:27:15.720
they're safe or not, I suppose in a weird way.

342
00:27:16.640 --> 00:27:21.839
But it's easy when it's just lunch, it's just like

343
00:27:21.880 --> 00:27:24.279
an hour or two, like, okay, I haven't got to

344
00:27:24.279 --> 00:27:30.200
see them again. But when it comes to like working,

345
00:27:30.319 --> 00:27:33.319
or someone moving in and like to a building or

346
00:27:33.359 --> 00:27:35.160
into a house that I'm living in when I was

347
00:27:35.200 --> 00:27:38.359
in the pastor or me moving into a new home

348
00:27:39.720 --> 00:27:42.440
and having to sort of kind of get to know

349
00:27:42.559 --> 00:27:45.799
new people, or me starting a new job, Yeah, I've

350
00:27:45.799 --> 00:27:55.200
never never enjoyed that. But it's weird because eventually you

351
00:27:55.319 --> 00:28:01.480
just get to know people, don't you. It's standard. I

352
00:28:01.480 --> 00:28:05.279
mean when I started doing taekwondo, I remember, what was

353
00:28:05.319 --> 00:28:12.279
I thirty? Now I was forty one? Now I was

354
00:28:12.319 --> 00:28:19.279
I forty one, I was forty. I was forty years old.

355
00:28:19.319 --> 00:28:24.319
And I started doing time try yeah taekwondo, and I

356
00:28:24.359 --> 00:28:29.480
didn't know anyone there, and eventually I kind of got

357
00:28:29.519 --> 00:28:32.160
to know so many people. And I was quite friendly

358
00:28:32.200 --> 00:28:36.119
with the instructor because he was more my age than

359
00:28:36.119 --> 00:28:38.559
anyone else, because he was about ten years old than me.

360
00:28:39.519 --> 00:28:44.400
A lot of other people were like ten years fifteen

361
00:28:44.480 --> 00:28:48.160
years old, twenty years old, twenty five. You know, there's

362
00:28:48.200 --> 00:28:51.359
a lot of much younger people than me. I was

363
00:28:51.400 --> 00:28:54.359
the youngest, but I wasn't the fattest. I was the

364
00:28:54.400 --> 00:29:01.759
second fettest, the second fettest, but he was much more.

365
00:29:01.839 --> 00:29:03.880
I don't call other people fab I'm just saying, okay,

366
00:29:03.960 --> 00:29:11.640
well I was the second most rotund. And he was

367
00:29:11.680 --> 00:29:16.200
a lot fitter than I was. And I remember thinking

368
00:29:16.279 --> 00:29:19.440
back to that time, thinking, because I know I lost

369
00:29:19.480 --> 00:29:25.599
weight when I was doing it, and after probably six months,

370
00:29:26.599 --> 00:29:31.079
i'd slim down. And I remember that because the instructor

371
00:29:31.119 --> 00:29:34.960
is saying you've lost weight. I said, oh, thanks, and

372
00:29:35.039 --> 00:29:37.319
I believed him, because why would someone lie about that.

373
00:29:38.799 --> 00:29:44.160
Let's to be crawledn't it. Especially if I start walking

374
00:29:44.160 --> 00:29:47.920
around about the top on thinking I'm slim now and

375
00:29:47.960 --> 00:29:52.240
then everyone's laughing at me. It's like no, the police

376
00:29:52.279 --> 00:29:55.119
are arresting me. He's like, oh, but your boob's back

377
00:29:55.200 --> 00:30:02.680
inside your brah. Wow. And I see a picture recently

378
00:30:02.720 --> 00:30:08.920
that I've got of that time, and there's a picture

379
00:30:08.920 --> 00:30:14.240
of my belly just flopping over the belt. It's like, wow,

380
00:30:14.680 --> 00:30:21.160
that's me having lost weight. Crazy, And I was standing

381
00:30:21.200 --> 00:30:29.400
there thinking I was a slim Wow, too much? Too young?

382
00:30:29.640 --> 00:30:32.759
Do do do? Forget that? I don't know anyway, So

383
00:30:32.759 --> 00:30:38.680
I'm looking at the spirits having flown the beds? Is

384
00:30:38.720 --> 00:30:48.400
it love Your after Rose Royce, Spacer Jazz Carnival, seventeen Regents, Rappers, Delight,

385
00:30:48.599 --> 00:30:51.480
the sugar Hill Gang. I don't know any of these

386
00:30:52.039 --> 00:30:56.680
day trip to Bagner to bangor if I only want

387
00:30:56.720 --> 00:31:00.000
to be with you? I only want to be with you?

388
00:31:01.200 --> 00:31:02.039
Do Do Do Do? Do?

389
00:31:01.880 --> 00:31:01.960
Do?

390
00:31:02.000 --> 00:31:05.759
Do? Do Do Do? Was that done by quite a

391
00:31:05.759 --> 00:31:10.400
few different people? It peaked at number four the tourists

392
00:31:10.839 --> 00:31:13.119
I only want to be with you? Wasn't there a

393
00:31:13.240 --> 00:31:18.200
really famous person that sung that, like really famous, like

394
00:31:18.279 --> 00:31:23.200
in the sixties or seventies or something. So I remember

395
00:31:23.240 --> 00:31:26.640
the song. I knowed the song song, but I don't

396
00:31:26.680 --> 00:31:33.279
know which version that was. Living by Numbers Escape Rupert

397
00:31:33.319 --> 00:31:38.319
Holmes the Peniicolada song. I probably know that, but I

398
00:31:38.359 --> 00:31:41.640
can't think of it working for the Yankee Dollar Skids.

399
00:31:43.640 --> 00:31:46.720
I'm beginning to think this is not a UK charts

400
00:31:47.000 --> 00:31:53.920
This is all it is. It is, it is, it is,

401
00:31:53.960 --> 00:31:56.640
it is Okay, it just seemed like the songs I've

402
00:31:56.640 --> 00:32:01.279
never heard of. But yeah, is this love that I feeling?

403
00:32:01.759 --> 00:32:07.000
Is this the love? Is that the one the Rose Royce?

404
00:32:09.519 --> 00:32:13.599
If it is, then it's a great song. Rappers Delight

405
00:32:13.680 --> 00:32:17.519
the sugar Hill Gang. Nope, I don't know. It sounds

406
00:32:17.559 --> 00:32:23.359
familiar like the song that means that. The sound, the sound,

407
00:32:23.519 --> 00:32:27.319
the title Rappers Delight and then the sugar Hill Gangs.

408
00:32:27.359 --> 00:32:35.480
I've heard of the sugar Hill Gang working for the

409
00:32:35.559 --> 00:32:40.799
Yankee Dollar Skids. Too Hot cooling a gang? Too hot,

410
00:32:40.920 --> 00:32:46.599
too hot. I'm in the mood for being too hot.

411
00:32:47.119 --> 00:32:51.400
I feel like being too hot. Maybe that's Cooling the Gang.

412
00:32:52.640 --> 00:32:56.359
I probably know that song, but it's not my calling again,

413
00:32:56.480 --> 00:33:00.400
go to as it were. So when I was DJ,

414
00:33:00.680 --> 00:33:03.559
Cooling the Gang songs were quite popularly, quite a few,

415
00:33:04.200 --> 00:33:09.119
like dancing tracks, so Cooling the Gang. I liked them,

416
00:33:09.240 --> 00:33:14.079
but I don't remember too Hot, buzz buzz a didd

417
00:33:14.079 --> 00:33:18.519
lit Matchbox. No, it's number thirty. Don't know that one.

418
00:33:19.119 --> 00:33:22.680
I probably do, but I can't see off just from

419
00:33:22.680 --> 00:33:28.400
the title. There's no image or anything. My feet keep

420
00:33:28.559 --> 00:33:34.839
dancing cheek or chick thirty one. No Blue Peter by

421
00:33:34.880 --> 00:33:44.240
Mike Oldfield. Now I'm surprised at that. The reason I'm

422
00:33:44.240 --> 00:33:50.720
surprised because I know who my Coldfield is. I know

423
00:33:51.480 --> 00:33:57.000
Blue Peter. It's the Blue Peter theme tune for one

424
00:33:57.039 --> 00:34:03.279
of the most famous children's TV shows in the UK history,

425
00:34:03.359 --> 00:34:07.000
Blue Peter, and possibly the longest running. I don't know

426
00:34:07.000 --> 00:34:12.519
if it's still going now, and but it was like

427
00:34:12.719 --> 00:34:17.400
do do do do? Do? Do? Do do do? So

428
00:34:17.440 --> 00:34:21.960
I'm thinking maybe Mike Oldfield was asked to revamp it

429
00:34:22.239 --> 00:34:28.320
and make it sound better. Okay, did Mike Coldfield? Did

430
00:34:28.360 --> 00:34:35.360
he do the the No? Did he Mike Coldfield? Did he?

431
00:34:36.559 --> 00:34:39.599
Did he do Trouebler bells? Am I thinking of someone else?

432
00:34:41.199 --> 00:34:46.880
Which makes him one of the most famous producers of music?

433
00:34:49.599 --> 00:34:55.679
Did he do? Did he? Did he do the Big

434
00:34:55.719 --> 00:35:01.920
Brother theme tune? Mm hmm? Anyway, I know the tune

435
00:35:03.639 --> 00:35:05.840
like really well because I've heard it thousands of times

436
00:35:05.880 --> 00:35:10.000
when I was a kid. Probably, but I don't remember

437
00:35:10.039 --> 00:35:12.440
it being in a chart, but clearly it was for

438
00:35:12.599 --> 00:35:18.599
nineteen twenty four weeks. It peaked at number nineteen No.

439
00:35:18.719 --> 00:35:20.840
It was in charts for eight weeks, peaked at number

440
00:35:20.920 --> 00:35:27.480
nineteen low. This week was number twenty four. Crowd of

441
00:35:27.519 --> 00:35:31.599
the country Kenny Rodgers. I think it was someone like

442
00:35:31.679 --> 00:35:36.280
Kenny Rodgers. I will recognize this song when I hear it,

443
00:35:39.079 --> 00:35:42.880
but I won't necessarily know the title of the song

444
00:35:44.719 --> 00:35:51.960
because really, unlike in I'm going to say America, because

445
00:35:51.960 --> 00:35:54.920
I don't know about other countries. I know in America

446
00:35:55.559 --> 00:35:59.679
a country in western music is it was huge and

447
00:36:00.199 --> 00:36:07.199
it still is huge in this country country and western

448
00:36:07.440 --> 00:36:10.159
country and is it country? No country where it's not

449
00:36:10.199 --> 00:36:12.920
country and westn is it country music? Sorry? Country music.

450
00:36:15.519 --> 00:36:21.159
There's always been a place for it here and there's

451
00:36:21.199 --> 00:36:25.440
been some huge stars that have had, you know, big

452
00:36:25.519 --> 00:36:31.639
hits from the country world music world over the decades

453
00:36:31.679 --> 00:36:34.599
in the UK, but it's not it's never been a

454
00:36:34.639 --> 00:36:43.159
dominant music here, so you're unlikely to see like a

455
00:36:43.239 --> 00:36:49.639
Top forty where you've got ten songs from the country

456
00:36:50.440 --> 00:36:53.559
country music. But some of the really big people like

457
00:36:53.679 --> 00:36:58.920
Dolly Parton, but there was more herb popular songs that

458
00:36:59.400 --> 00:37:02.639
became pop. Pillar that sounds weird, isn't it. It's like

459
00:37:02.719 --> 00:37:13.880
nine to five and Joelene things like that. So I

460
00:37:13.920 --> 00:37:17.239
actually had an uncle who was in a country band

461
00:37:17.559 --> 00:37:19.519
and it was the biggest country band in the UK.

462
00:37:21.360 --> 00:37:24.800
He won awards like the most popular country band every year,

463
00:37:25.679 --> 00:37:27.480
and I was so impressed until I realized there was

464
00:37:27.480 --> 00:37:31.559
only four bands in the country. I'm joking. He was

465
00:37:31.599 --> 00:37:33.360
so good. I went to one of his gigs once

466
00:37:33.440 --> 00:37:40.079
and he was I think he was doing it for

467
00:37:40.119 --> 00:37:45.920
probably four decades, five decades seriously, from just did it

468
00:37:45.960 --> 00:37:51.639
forever that he started off probably doing like sixties music,

469
00:37:51.679 --> 00:37:56.199
and then he kind of moved into country in the seventies. Well,

470
00:37:56.199 --> 00:37:58.320
when the sixties country has been around forever, isn't it

471
00:37:59.519 --> 00:38:01.960
not the with the trees? I'm talking about country music.

472
00:38:03.880 --> 00:38:08.840
Got to Love Somebody sits the sledge, got to Love Somebody,

473
00:38:09.920 --> 00:38:14.199
I'm in the mood forgot to love Somebody, for loving Somebody,

474
00:38:15.159 --> 00:38:17.480
I don't know that one. Then it peaked at number

475
00:38:17.519 --> 00:38:22.920
thirty four, so that that wasn't like a big strange

476
00:38:22.960 --> 00:38:28.239
little girl sad Cafe, Nope, young Blood UFO, Sarah Fleetwood,

477
00:38:28.280 --> 00:38:31.559
Mac don't know that one, My Simple Heart, the Three

478
00:38:31.559 --> 00:38:38.199
Degrees thirty nine, Paradise Bird, the Letter Wonderland, the Commodorees.

479
00:38:40.719 --> 00:38:57.119
Now I probably do know those. However, January nineteen eighty

480
00:38:57.639 --> 00:39:03.320
first to twentieth twentieth is the wrong. It's doing wrong.

481
00:39:03.760 --> 00:39:08.480
Why is it doing that for six of the first

482
00:39:10.079 --> 00:39:14.559
six of the first first of the first should we

483
00:39:14.599 --> 00:39:22.400
see first of the first twenty for January nineteen eighty, right,

484
00:39:22.519 --> 00:39:33.360
that's the first one that you can do charts, Okay,

485
00:39:33.480 --> 00:39:38.480
So twelfth is September? Why why have you done that for?

486
00:39:39.079 --> 00:39:43.000
Why twelve September? I don't want twelve to September twenty

487
00:39:43.119 --> 00:39:47.239
twenty five is taking away from me. It's say no,

488
00:39:49.280 --> 00:39:52.639
do what I told you, or don't do anything at all. Stop, no,

489
00:39:54.960 --> 00:39:57.679
go all the way back to nineteen eighty. It's going

490
00:39:57.760 --> 00:40:02.840
to take absolutely years if that won't even let me

491
00:40:02.880 --> 00:40:05.519
go only going back as far as twenty twenty one?

492
00:40:09.039 --> 00:40:16.599
Why why are you doing this? Okay? So for some

493
00:40:16.679 --> 00:40:20.400
reason it's blocked me out, and I don't understand why.

494
00:40:21.800 --> 00:40:25.360
I don't get Oh, let's go to Wikipedia see if

495
00:40:25.400 --> 00:40:29.119
that will do it. Nineteen eighty best selling single of

496
00:40:29.159 --> 00:40:38.840
the year, Madonna had six number ones juney eighties. So

497
00:40:38.960 --> 00:40:46.239

which took the UK chart number one spot. Madonna was

500
00:40:53.480 --> 00:40:57.039
the most successful single act of the decade, as six

501
00:40:57.079 --> 00:41:00.679
of US singles reached the top spot. George Michael had

502
00:41:00.760 --> 00:41:05.320
significant involvement with eight number one singles, with two number

of Wham and one as a duet with Aretha Frank

505
00:41:15.000 --> 00:41:18.719
LNN and one as a member of a charity supergroup

506
00:41:19.159 --> 00:41:29.840
band Aid. Six singles Oh Okay and Frankie Goes to

507
00:41:29.880 --> 00:41:35.280
Hollywood received the longest number one, which was nine weeks

508
00:41:35.320 --> 00:41:41.480
in nineteen eighty four two Tribes. The best selling single

509
00:41:41.519 --> 00:41:44.360
of the decade nineteen eighties was do Their Know It's

510
00:41:44.440 --> 00:41:48.480
Christmas by band Aid, selling more than three point five

511
00:41:48.519 --> 00:41:54.639
million copies and passing Mula of King Tire by Wings

512
00:41:55.000 --> 00:42:00.719
to become the best selling single ever altogether. Now My

513
00:42:01.360 --> 00:42:10.480
Looking No Needful the only song I've ever enjoyed listening

514
00:42:10.519 --> 00:42:17.599
to bagpipes. I'm not a fan of bad pipes, bad pipes, bagpipes.

515
00:42:21.280 --> 00:42:28.280
I know no, Sorry, I can't I don't know. I

516
00:42:28.280 --> 00:42:32.000
think it's just just not really, my ears aren't suited

517
00:42:32.039 --> 00:42:37.000
for it. I'm sure they're amazing. My ears don't can't

518
00:42:37.039 --> 00:42:43.199
adapt to bagpipes, and not everybody that plays bagpipes in

519
00:42:43.280 --> 00:42:49.519
public trying to figure what the correct words is not

520
00:42:49.599 --> 00:42:58.360
everyone that plays bagpipes in public should play bagpipes in public.

521
00:43:01.840 --> 00:43:06.119
I think it's quite a difficult instrument to learn. I

522
00:43:06.159 --> 00:43:10.360
think it must be, otherwise more people would be good

523
00:43:10.400 --> 00:43:13.440
at it. I'm sure, I'm sure they are, but just

524
00:43:13.559 --> 00:43:17.079
you know, I'm moving on. Nineteen eighty saw the introduction

525
00:43:17.119 --> 00:43:20.519
of the cassette single. Really, I thought that was around

526
00:43:20.519 --> 00:43:25.119
for ages. I used to buy the cassette single along

527
00:43:25.199 --> 00:43:29.000
the seven inch and twelve inch format and nineteen eighty seven.

528
00:43:30.199 --> 00:43:33.679
In nineteen eighty seven, major record labels developed a common

529
00:43:33.719 --> 00:43:44.199
format for the CD single. I'll tell you what I

530
00:43:44.320 --> 00:43:47.519
didn't even I don't think. I started listening to CDs

531
00:43:49.000 --> 00:43:57.119
till the late nineties, so it took me ten years

532
00:43:57.400 --> 00:44:01.840
before I even accepted the CDs existed. Honestly, it's still

533
00:44:01.840 --> 00:44:13.440
buying tapes. Best selling single of the year, Wait a

534
00:44:13.480 --> 00:44:18.440
Minute nineteen seventy, okay, nineteen eighty so it's going to

535
00:44:18.480 --> 00:44:20.599
give me. This is for the whole year, so I'm

536
00:44:20.599 --> 00:44:22.800
not going to go by week now because it's to

537
00:44:23.360 --> 00:44:40.199
take ages number. This is the number. So why has

538
00:44:40.199 --> 00:44:46.840
it got a number four? It's very weird. So let's

539
00:44:46.880 --> 00:44:49.320
have a look. These were the ones weeks at number one.

540
00:44:49.360 --> 00:44:52.199
These were the number one songs. Pink Floyd and Other,

541
00:44:52.280 --> 00:44:56.800
Brick in the Wall, Pretenders, Brass in a Pocket, and

542
00:44:58.519 --> 00:45:05.119
Blondie Atomic. I loved Blondie, Blondie. See see when I

543
00:45:05.119 --> 00:45:07.360
get asked the question on a Q and A Friday,

544
00:45:07.360 --> 00:45:14.280
I'll say, oh, I'll go to the music and I think, well, Madonna, Terrence,

545
00:45:14.320 --> 00:45:18.079
Trent Derby, and I'll sort of think about Michael Jackson

546
00:45:18.360 --> 00:45:25.800
and the Beatles and Stevie Wonder and George Michael and

547
00:45:28.519 --> 00:45:33.280
different various people that I really loved a lot. But

548
00:45:33.960 --> 00:45:36.079
there was a lot of songs, a lot of singers,

549
00:45:36.079 --> 00:45:39.440
a lot of bands that I never bought an album

550
00:45:39.480 --> 00:45:45.360
off ever, Blondie and I love so many songs that

551
00:45:45.400 --> 00:45:51.559
Blondie did, particularly the Tide is High, because I remember

552
00:45:52.440 --> 00:45:58.440
my I couldn't tell you the exact year. I could

553
00:45:58.440 --> 00:46:01.000
because I could look it up, couldn't I Actually, let's

554
00:46:01.000 --> 00:46:04.400
look it up. Why am I being so so coy?

555
00:46:05.480 --> 00:46:08.920
The Tide is High, which I would say is one

556
00:46:08.920 --> 00:46:16.519
of their biggest hits, The Tide is High. Come on, Blondie,

557
00:46:16.880 --> 00:46:25.760
Blondie and discography Blondie. Right. I want singles, not albums

558
00:46:27.960 --> 00:46:36.440
essential great, No, I want singles, live albums. These are

559
00:46:36.480 --> 00:46:43.599
just albums. I want singles. Where's the singles? Oh? Here

560
00:46:43.639 --> 00:46:50.440
we go, right, So let's go down to the correct year.

561
00:46:52.280 --> 00:46:54.440
So I'm just going down. They started in nineteen seventy

562
00:46:54.480 --> 00:47:00.119
six and they had a number one in Belgium and

563
00:47:00.199 --> 00:47:07.559
number one in New Zealand with Denise Denise Denise UK

564
00:47:07.760 --> 00:47:11.199
was number two, So that was great song. Loved that.

565
00:47:11.199 --> 00:47:14.320
That was nineteen seventy eight. So yeah, I didn't realize

566
00:47:14.360 --> 00:47:19.840
that Hanging on the Teared the Phone that was seventy

567
00:47:19.880 --> 00:47:23.159
eight as well, and it reached number five in the UK.

568
00:47:25.679 --> 00:47:32.559
See that's weird, right, Why are none of those listed

569
00:47:32.840 --> 00:47:39.440
in the US. So Denise Denise like didn't even register.

570
00:47:39.800 --> 00:47:44.599
Like they didn't release it in America an American group.

571
00:47:44.599 --> 00:47:48.480
I do believe Hanging on Telephone didn't release in America

572
00:47:48.519 --> 00:47:53.679
because it didn't chart. How please explain that to me?

573
00:47:54.000 --> 00:47:59.360
How great song? Two? Great Songs got number five here,

574
00:48:02.159 --> 00:48:07.199
so we charted the highest in the UK and Denise

575
00:48:07.960 --> 00:48:11.480
charted the second highest in the UK. But it went

576
00:48:11.519 --> 00:48:15.559
to number one in New Zealand and Belgium. And then

577
00:48:15.760 --> 00:48:21.880
in nineteen seventy nine, Heart of Glass reached number one

578
00:48:22.679 --> 00:48:27.840
in the UK but also in the US, so that

579
00:48:27.920 --> 00:48:32.519
must have been their big breakthrough hit. It reached number

580
00:48:32.519 --> 00:48:39.760
one in Australia, in Canada, Gerbil or Germany, probably not

581
00:48:39.840 --> 00:48:49.760
Germany and New Zealand. So big hit reached got silver Silver,

582
00:48:50.960 --> 00:48:55.280
I don't know what I'm saying, Silver's heart Glass. Then

583
00:48:57.119 --> 00:49:01.440
Sunday Girl, it didn't didn't even get in the charts

584
00:49:01.440 --> 00:49:06.199
in America. This is nineteen seventy nine. Wait a minute,

585
00:49:06.639 --> 00:49:09.760
Heart Glasses seventy nine. Sunday Girl got to number one

586
00:49:09.760 --> 00:49:18.360
in the UK again and also Ireland, but it didn't

587
00:49:18.440 --> 00:49:24.360
chart in America. And then one way or another, one

588
00:49:24.400 --> 00:49:27.639
way or another, I'm going to get yeah, I'm going

589
00:49:27.719 --> 00:49:31.599
to get it one way or another. See you don't

590
00:49:31.639 --> 00:49:34.679
anyone remember that it was a good song. It did

591
00:49:34.880 --> 00:49:39.960
chart in America, twenty four got to got to number

592
00:49:40.079 --> 00:49:46.480
ninety eight in the UK, so maybe people in this

593
00:49:46.559 --> 00:49:52.480
country were not so we're getting bored, which I understand

594
00:49:52.719 --> 00:50:00.280
because Blondie was amazing Dreaming. So in America this started

595
00:50:00.320 --> 00:50:03.719
to get more like hits, but they were still only

596
00:50:03.719 --> 00:50:11.519
getting like twenty four, twenty seven, eighty four when Dreaming

597
00:50:11.599 --> 00:50:16.239
got to number two in the UK, twenty seven in America.

598
00:50:16.800 --> 00:50:22.440
Union City Blue thirteen in the UK didn't even register

599
00:50:22.519 --> 00:50:26.239
in America, and the hardest part, the hardest part, got

600
00:50:26.239 --> 00:50:29.960
to eighty four. The thing is number eighty four in

601
00:50:29.960 --> 00:50:34.199
an American chart when you got three hundred plus thousand

602
00:50:34.280 --> 00:50:38.800
people compared to probably back then, I don't know what,

603
00:50:38.840 --> 00:50:44.119
fifty fifty five thousand, three hundred million, probably three hundred

604
00:50:44.119 --> 00:50:48.360
and ten million or twenty million in America. Here there

605
00:50:48.400 --> 00:50:52.480
was probably about fifty, well fifty five fifty six million

606
00:50:53.199 --> 00:50:56.920
in nineteen eighty, nineteen seventy nine, fifty million. It's a

607
00:50:56.920 --> 00:51:00.880
lot more now. And then at the end of nineteen

608
00:51:00.960 --> 00:51:06.800
seventy nine, call me number one in America, number one

609
00:51:07.000 --> 00:51:12.719
in the UK. So it's weird. So nineteen seventy nine,

610
00:51:13.559 --> 00:51:21.159
so nineteen for the looks of this, so heart glass,

611
00:51:22.199 --> 00:51:30.000
I'm confused. It's a heart of glass, So call me

612
00:51:30.000 --> 00:51:32.079
who was nineteen eighty So they've got one number one

613
00:51:32.800 --> 00:51:37.119
in America Heart Glass in nineteen seventy nine. That was

614
00:51:37.159 --> 00:51:40.159
their first song that got to number one, and in

615
00:51:40.280 --> 00:51:44.280
nineteen eighty call Me got to number one and in

616
00:51:44.320 --> 00:51:50.599
the UK as well, So technically we appreciated and realized

617
00:51:50.639 --> 00:51:58.800
how wonderful Madonna, how wonderful Blondie was kind of before

618
00:51:58.840 --> 00:52:04.960
anyone else. It's only US, Belgium, maybe Ireland, Canada were

619
00:52:05.000 --> 00:52:12.280
the only ones that really appreciated how brilliant they were.

620
00:52:13.639 --> 00:52:16.679
But call Me that was there. I guess that rule

621
00:52:17.920 --> 00:52:19.800
you go. I would have said that breakthrough because I

622
00:52:19.840 --> 00:52:23.880
said I had a number one in America and it

623
00:52:23.960 --> 00:52:27.800
went gold. So they made a lot of money from

624
00:52:27.800 --> 00:52:33.440
that one song, so it's successful wise, but it's just

625
00:52:33.480 --> 00:52:36.719
weird that they didn't didn't getting a top ten with

626
00:52:36.760 --> 00:52:39.280
any of the other songs until call Me in nineteen

627
00:52:39.360 --> 00:52:45.840
eighty number one, number one any America. Atomic only got

628
00:52:45.840 --> 00:52:49.320
to number thirty nine in America. What is wrong with you?

629
00:52:49.440 --> 00:52:53.320
People got to number one here, We're the only country

630
00:52:53.320 --> 00:53:01.920
that appreciated Atomic thirty nine. You do, I realize when

631
00:53:01.960 --> 00:53:04.480
we did our charts in the UK, we didn't go

632
00:53:05.280 --> 00:53:09.679
below forty. It was also top forty, so any charts

633
00:53:09.719 --> 00:53:16.519
below that wasn't even mentioned ever. They've got no publicity

634
00:53:17.440 --> 00:53:20.800
in the UK. Day is in the United Kingdom of England,

635
00:53:21.039 --> 00:53:29.320
Commonwealth Britain. Atomic So Atomic got to number one in

636
00:53:29.360 --> 00:53:34.360
the UK, but it also charted in the top twenty

637
00:53:34.400 --> 00:53:38.679
in every other country, well apart from one America and

638
00:53:39.000 --> 00:53:52.280
which is thirty nine and Canada. Right, so you've got

639
00:53:52.280 --> 00:53:55.800
heroes that didn't chart at all. I don't know what

640
00:53:55.920 --> 00:54:02.760
happened there, a non album single and then my favoritest

641
00:54:02.760 --> 00:54:05.519
song that they ever did, And this is what I

642
00:54:05.559 --> 00:54:09.840
was going to talk about. This was nineteen eighty, which

643
00:54:09.840 --> 00:54:16.280
is weird because I was, yeah, I suppose it makes sense.

644
00:54:16.679 --> 00:54:21.400
Nineteen eighty Does it say when? Does it say when?

645
00:54:22.159 --> 00:54:24.400
From looks of it, it's at the end of nineteen eighty,

646
00:54:24.480 --> 00:54:27.679
so probably the winter nineteen eighty so I turned ten.

647
00:54:28.679 --> 00:54:34.199
My oldest brother was fourteen. He had a job at

648
00:54:34.280 --> 00:54:38.639
Tesco or some supermarket up the road around the corner

649
00:54:39.119 --> 00:54:39.960
part time.

650
00:54:41.440 --> 00:54:41.840
And.

651
00:54:43.920 --> 00:54:48.840
We used to get He was more obsessed about the

652
00:54:48.960 --> 00:54:52.000
charts than I was. Now. I was happy to wait

653
00:54:52.039 --> 00:54:56.440
till Thursday to watch it on Top of the Pops,

654
00:54:57.880 --> 00:55:04.079
but the actual chart was released on a Tuesday, and

655
00:55:06.039 --> 00:55:09.800
the only way I could spoil, you know, I kind

656
00:55:09.840 --> 00:55:13.119
of had to listen to it on a Tuesday in

657
00:55:13.239 --> 00:55:17.400
order for him not to spoil it for me because

658
00:55:17.400 --> 00:55:21.239
he'd tell me who was number one otherwise, because there'd

659
00:55:21.239 --> 00:55:23.119
be two days till it was actually released on Top

660
00:55:23.159 --> 00:55:27.480
of the Pops on a Thursday night. So he used

661
00:55:27.480 --> 00:55:29.199
to listen to it on a Tuesday. And what we

662
00:55:29.239 --> 00:55:32.639
did is, I remember one particular night he was working,

663
00:55:32.920 --> 00:55:36.679
it was dark outside. I'm adding that for effect. I

664
00:55:36.719 --> 00:55:41.920
don't know who knows. I can't remember, but I remember

665
00:55:42.119 --> 00:55:46.039
taping the Top forty and I'm guessing it was on

666
00:55:46.159 --> 00:55:52.079
Radio one and they did the the Top forty charts

667
00:55:52.320 --> 00:55:59.719
and I recorded the whole thing. Now it needed probably

668
00:55:59.760 --> 00:56:02.119
the tape needed to be turned over in order to

669
00:56:02.159 --> 00:56:04.039
record the other side of the tape because of the

670
00:56:04.400 --> 00:56:07.480
length of the show, which was probably three hours long,

671
00:56:07.679 --> 00:56:16.559
maybe two hours long. And he kept saying, don't tell me,

672
00:56:18.000 --> 00:56:24.079
don't tell me who's Who's number one. I don't know why,

673
00:56:24.719 --> 00:56:26.880
but he was looking so he was really looking forward

674
00:56:26.960 --> 00:56:30.000
to it. I wanted Debbie Harriet to be number one

675
00:56:32.159 --> 00:56:34.320
because I love the Tide is High. It's my favorite

676
00:56:34.400 --> 00:56:39.320
song at the time. And should I sing it to you.

677
00:56:42.320 --> 00:56:46.440
The tired is high, the tired is high, the tide

678
00:56:46.599 --> 00:56:53.360
is high, the tide is ha ha hi, And I

679
00:56:53.360 --> 00:56:56.840
remember it's weird. I got this memory. I remember we

680
00:56:56.960 --> 00:57:00.159
had this like stacked system. It was like all and

681
00:57:00.239 --> 00:57:03.920
one with like two There was a record player at

682
00:57:03.960 --> 00:57:07.159
the top with a plastic cover that you piled up,

683
00:57:08.960 --> 00:57:17.119
and there was a radio in built, and then further

684
00:57:17.599 --> 00:57:23.400
down there was two tape recorders side by side which

685
00:57:23.440 --> 00:57:29.360
you could tape. You could tape to tape, and then

686
00:57:31.599 --> 00:57:34.920
at the bottom I think there was roomed for albums

687
00:57:34.920 --> 00:57:41.679
to be put and it had this glass kind of

688
00:57:41.719 --> 00:57:47.239
like dark glass door with a magnet so you could

689
00:57:47.280 --> 00:57:51.760
just push it and it had just click shut, you know, magnetized.

690
00:57:56.440 --> 00:57:59.000
I think the reason I remember I think I think

691
00:57:59.039 --> 00:58:02.119
my dad still got it. Actually, I think he's still

692
00:58:02.159 --> 00:58:04.480
got it, or he did still have it when I

693
00:58:04.559 --> 00:58:08.800
was living with him in nineteen ninety for a little while,

694
00:58:09.719 --> 00:58:13.760
so I've probably seen it loads of times over the years,

695
00:58:13.760 --> 00:58:18.920
so that's why I remember it. Maybe, But I just

696
00:58:19.000 --> 00:58:27.519
remember sitting there on the floor making sure that I

697
00:58:27.639 --> 00:58:31.199
got all the songs, and I'm sudd I've got this memory,

698
00:58:31.360 --> 00:58:34.719
and I might have made this bit up, but he

699
00:58:34.880 --> 00:58:39.599
was phoning, kept phoning up from work. He only lived

700
00:58:39.599 --> 00:58:43.039
around the corner, kept phoning up from work to say,

701
00:58:43.679 --> 00:58:47.079
did you remember? Do you remember to record it? So yes,

702
00:58:48.360 --> 00:58:50.280
I think at one point he actually came home on

703
00:58:50.360 --> 00:58:59.000
his break because it was literally thirty seconds walk just

704
00:58:59.079 --> 00:59:02.039
came in to check that we're recording it. It's like, yes,

705
00:59:02.159 --> 00:59:04.239
we know, it's the most important thing in the world.

706
00:59:04.760 --> 00:59:06.760
We're doing it because me and my brother were both

707
00:59:06.760 --> 00:59:12.360
doing it together. My other brother like, what's so important

708
00:59:12.400 --> 00:59:17.039
about this? He said, you don't understand. They don't understand

709
00:59:17.079 --> 00:59:21.239
how important this is. I do wonder if we had

710
00:59:21.280 --> 00:59:26.039
different parents. So, yeah, Tide is High. That was one

711
00:59:26.039 --> 00:59:31.679
of my favorite songs. I don't know why I'm mentioning

712
00:59:31.760 --> 00:59:37.280
the Tiler's High. Why was I talking about Tyler's High Rapture?

713
00:59:38.159 --> 00:59:39.960
So that got to number one in America but got

714
00:59:39.960 --> 00:59:43.000
to number five in the UK. I don't even remember

715
00:59:43.039 --> 00:59:48.199
that one, So this is really weird unless it was

716
00:59:48.239 --> 00:59:54.280
a different chart in America. But clearly Blondie was much

717
00:59:54.320 --> 00:59:58.159
bigger in the UK than it was in not in

718
00:59:58.400 --> 01:00:03.559
amounts of people because we've got much smaller population, but

719
01:00:03.639 --> 01:00:10.679
as far as like the percentage, well, the amount. Well,

720
01:00:10.760 --> 01:00:14.559
from a chart perspective, Blondie, we're just reaching a much

721
01:00:14.639 --> 01:00:19.599
higher position. But I'm guessing, like, let's say, for example,

722
01:00:20.199 --> 01:00:25.320
the first number one Half Class in America, that one

723
01:00:25.480 --> 01:00:31.079
song probably sold more singles in America than all of

724
01:00:31.159 --> 01:00:35.679
Blondie's songs did in the UK, all combined, just that

725
01:00:35.800 --> 01:00:40.480
one song in America. So it's you know, you can

726
01:00:40.599 --> 01:00:48.519
look at it different directions. I suppose. Anyway, Blondie was good.

727
01:00:48.519 --> 01:00:53.159
That's all I was trying to say, is I like Blondie.

728
01:00:55.719 --> 01:01:04.519
Fern Kinney, the jazz going Underground and going Underground. I

729
01:01:04.639 --> 01:01:10.440
like that song together we Are Beautiful. It got to

730
01:01:10.519 --> 01:01:14.400
number one. I don't know what that is. So the

731
01:01:14.440 --> 01:01:19.280
Detroit Spinners, I'm working my way back to you, babe.

732
01:01:20.400 --> 01:01:22.000
That was a good song. I like that, And they

733
01:01:22.039 --> 01:01:25.119
got to number two. This is nineteen eighty. I'm still

734
01:01:25.159 --> 01:01:27.840
in nineteen eighty. I've gone from the first week to

735
01:01:27.920 --> 01:01:34.599
the whole year. Deck Sees Midnight Runners. Gino or Gino

736
01:01:35.440 --> 01:01:40.159
got to number two. Johnny Logan, what's another year. This

737
01:01:40.239 --> 01:01:44.199
is seventeenth of May nineteen eighty got to number two,

738
01:01:47.280 --> 01:01:52.639
very first to May. The Mesh a theme from Smash,

739
01:01:53.000 --> 01:01:56.400
a theme from Mesh. I'm not going to read it

740
01:01:56.440 --> 01:02:01.800
out because it's a topic that's not really acceptable to

741
01:02:01.840 --> 01:02:05.679
say it online anymore. But if you watch Mesh, you

742
01:02:05.719 --> 01:02:10.519
know the theme tune. It's I didn't realize I thought

743
01:02:10.599 --> 01:02:15.000
Mesh was because I watched Mesh for the first time

744
01:02:17.280 --> 01:02:25.480
about nineteen eighty four when I got my first TV.

745
01:02:26.400 --> 01:02:28.039
Might be in eighty five, but I think it was

746
01:02:28.039 --> 01:02:31.159
eighty four. I got my first black and white TV,

747
01:02:32.000 --> 01:02:38.519
and I just got these memories. Such it was. It

748
01:02:38.559 --> 01:02:41.599
was because I was a bit of a goggle box person.

749
01:02:41.719 --> 01:02:47.360
I was, really I love television. Television was better than

750
01:02:47.400 --> 01:02:51.480
real life for me personally. It's how I felt and

751
01:02:51.920 --> 01:02:55.880
I enjoyed it. It was escapism and it was more

752
01:02:55.920 --> 01:03:00.960
fun than reality. I understand as probably not very healthy,

753
01:03:01.039 --> 01:03:04.239
but it's just the way it was back then. That's

754
01:03:04.239 --> 01:03:12.440
how my life was. And I loved television, absolutely loved it.

755
01:03:16.440 --> 01:03:21.119
And I remember the first time ever outside of weekends

756
01:03:21.159 --> 01:03:23.960
like a I think on a Friday and Saturday night

757
01:03:24.000 --> 01:03:27.039
I could stay up later, but the rest of the

758
01:03:27.039 --> 01:03:31.079
week I was in bed by nine or whatever. Even

759
01:03:32.679 --> 01:03:34.599
I don't know what the cutoff was, but probably nine

760
01:03:34.599 --> 01:03:37.800
o'clock when I was a teenager, earlier on, when I

761
01:03:37.840 --> 01:03:41.559
was younger, maybe nine point thirty, maybe even ten, I

762
01:03:41.559 --> 01:03:50.079
don't know. But once I got on my TV, there

763
01:03:50.119 --> 01:03:55.599
was no bedtime. Bedtime didn't exist anymore. I'd pretend to

764
01:03:55.639 --> 01:03:58.639
go to bed. I mean, I'd be going up at

765
01:03:58.639 --> 01:04:04.039
like seven in the evening. I'm really tired now. I

766
01:04:04.159 --> 01:04:11.840
just made myself you all. I'd say bye, good night everybody,

767
01:04:11.840 --> 01:04:13.440
and I go and get I want to kiss. My

768
01:04:13.599 --> 01:04:15.519
brother would say, are you doing kissing me? I said,

769
01:04:15.559 --> 01:04:18.360
I'm just happy because it's got me TV. And he said, oh,

770
01:04:18.400 --> 01:04:22.480
fair enough, and don't do it again. I said, okay, sorry,

771
01:04:24.079 --> 01:04:26.519
and I go upstairs. I'd just skip up the I

772
01:04:26.519 --> 01:04:28.440
wouldn't skip up the stairs, I don't. Why would I

773
01:04:28.480 --> 01:04:33.239
say that whoever skips up the stairs skipping room gets

774
01:04:33.360 --> 01:04:37.599
tangled on it in the banistone. But yeah, anyway I

775
01:04:37.639 --> 01:04:40.280
walked up the stairs, I might have ran. I could

776
01:04:40.360 --> 01:04:43.639
run back then, but I might just walked at a

777
01:04:43.639 --> 01:04:47.559
steady pace. It's very difficult for me to remember because

778
01:04:47.559 --> 01:04:51.719
I didn't write anything down in my diary, and even

779
01:04:51.719 --> 01:04:54.920
when I did journals over like twenty five year period,

780
01:04:55.119 --> 01:05:00.840
I never mentioned stairs. Just just never came up. I mean,

781
01:05:00.880 --> 01:05:03.519
the only stairs story really is probably when I fell

782
01:05:03.559 --> 01:05:07.719
down the stairs twice is down here, and then when

783
01:05:07.719 --> 01:05:10.599
I was a little kid fell down some stairs while

784
01:05:10.599 --> 01:05:13.239
I was holding a box full of little cars, I think,

785
01:05:17.280 --> 01:05:21.280
I think, so oh yeah, and also well, yeah, I

786
01:05:21.360 --> 01:05:23.239
used to pretend to fall down the stairs I could

787
01:05:23.280 --> 01:05:31.559
get days of school. But it didn't really work very well.

788
01:05:33.440 --> 01:05:37.800
So once I was doing it and I wanted my

789
01:05:38.079 --> 01:05:40.760
step mom to find me at the bottom stairs, I'd

790
01:05:40.760 --> 01:05:43.199
be like, oh, I'll be holding my knee or something,

791
01:05:44.840 --> 01:05:48.000
and it worked a little bit. But on one occasion

792
01:05:48.119 --> 01:05:50.639
she was actually in the bathroom, which is at the

793
01:05:50.639 --> 01:05:54.679
top of the stairs, and she came out as I

794
01:05:54.719 --> 01:05:56.960
was doing it, as I was like pretending to fall down,

795
01:05:58.039 --> 01:06:02.760
and she was watching me the whole time and couldn't

796
01:06:02.760 --> 01:06:04.000
really get away with it anymore.

797
01:06:06.280 --> 01:06:06.599
Hmm.

798
01:06:08.599 --> 01:06:11.880
I think she was just watching over the banister. I'm

799
01:06:11.880 --> 01:06:14.679
trying to get my head around. Yeah, yeah, because the

800
01:06:14.679 --> 01:06:20.360
bathroom that was just off of the top of the stairs. Yeah.

801
01:06:21.239 --> 01:06:25.840
So it was so lovely just watching TV, I've got

802
01:06:25.840 --> 01:06:29.039
to see things I've never seen before. Suddenly I could

803
01:06:29.039 --> 01:06:32.320
have watched Kojak if I wanted to or I could

804
01:06:32.400 --> 01:06:38.760
watch or Mash. Never heard of Mesh, I never heard

805
01:06:38.800 --> 01:06:44.599
of I was, I was Cheers, never heard of Cheers

806
01:06:44.639 --> 01:06:48.239
before I was watching these programs I've never heard of before,

807
01:06:48.239 --> 01:06:52.280
and like wow, it was like a whole new world

808
01:06:52.280 --> 01:06:56.000
opened up to me. The past nine o'clock in the

809
01:06:56.039 --> 01:07:00.679
evening things were happening, and these programs things that I

810
01:07:00.760 --> 01:07:03.840
wasn't allowed to watch, that the family didn't watch together.

811
01:07:06.519 --> 01:07:08.880
That's when I realized are a very different taste in

812
01:07:08.960 --> 01:07:13.480
programs to the family, you know, like my dad and whatever.

813
01:07:13.719 --> 01:07:19.360
They'd watch stuff on a Saturday night that I wouldn't watch.

814
01:07:20.079 --> 01:07:23.199
I'd watch it because it was part of the routine,

815
01:07:23.639 --> 01:07:28.920
the ritual whatever I want to say ritual, I don't

816
01:07:28.960 --> 01:07:36.280
mean anything weird, just just watching television. There's no sacrifices

817
01:07:36.400 --> 01:07:37.119
or anything.

818
01:07:42.039 --> 01:07:48.519
Right, right, kids, Logan's Logan runs finished, the A teams finished, right,

819
01:07:49.760 --> 01:07:52.880
Let's go and get Let's go in the garden, get

820
01:07:52.880 --> 01:07:54.960
all the candles out and.

821
01:07:56.400 --> 01:08:02.840
Organized today's sacrifice. So Olivia Newton, John Xana do an

822
01:08:02.880 --> 01:08:08.039
electric light orchestra? Don McLean crying? Is that the one

823
01:08:08.199 --> 01:08:15.719
crying over you? Xana do? I like Xana do? Sana

824
01:08:15.840 --> 01:08:24.000
do Sana Do. I don't know why Ello the Electric

825
01:08:24.119 --> 01:08:27.760
Light Orchestra did another version of Sanna Do with a

826
01:08:27.760 --> 01:08:31.560
different singer. Why why would you need to do that?

827
01:08:33.880 --> 01:08:38.960
I'm not I'm not judging, just asking because Olivia Newton

828
01:08:39.039 --> 01:08:46.199
John I had such an amazing voice odyssey that got

829
01:08:46.239 --> 01:08:49.399
to number two in the charts. Odyssey, I don't know,

830
01:08:49.560 --> 01:08:53.479
use it up and wear it out that toilet paper,

831
01:08:53.520 --> 01:08:57.079
I don't know. Underpants, Abba the Winner takes it all.

832
01:08:57.119 --> 01:09:01.039
I've got number two August Night of August nineteen eighty

833
01:09:02.319 --> 01:09:09.800
The Winner ticks it. It just shows you what I know.

834
01:09:09.880 --> 01:09:13.399
I really thought that Abba had kind of finished. In

835
01:09:13.439 --> 01:09:20.319
seventy nine, David Bowie ashes to Ashes, I got to

836
01:09:20.479 --> 01:09:22.239
number two. So I would have seen it because I

837
01:09:22.279 --> 01:09:25.840
always watched Top of the Pops, so anything in the

838
01:09:25.840 --> 01:09:31.479
top forty I would have seen. Whether or not I

839
01:09:31.720 --> 01:09:34.880
liked it or not, I don't know. I would have

840
01:09:34.920 --> 01:09:39.399
seen it on TV and Ashes to Ash, She's the

841
01:09:40.920 --> 01:09:45.399
jam start number one. I don't remember that one. Kelly

842
01:09:45.439 --> 01:09:49.479
Marie feels like I'm in love. I know that one

843
01:09:49.680 --> 01:09:54.359
they got to number two feels like I'm in love.

844
01:09:55.359 --> 01:10:01.399
I'm in love, feels like I'm in lo I know

845
01:10:01.479 --> 01:10:03.119
it's getting old, but I'm going to keep doing it.

846
01:10:03.920 --> 01:10:09.399
The police don't stand so close to me. Wow, again,

847
01:10:09.479 --> 01:10:16.119
I loved that song. That was number four. It's going

848
01:10:16.199 --> 01:10:17.600
to turn around and see.

849
01:10:19.279 --> 01:10:22.720
All right, carry on, Vinnie, but I can't make a

850
01:10:22.720 --> 01:10:27.039
movement without him stopping what he's doing, So the police.

851
01:10:26.760 --> 01:10:29.560
Don't stand so close to me. Twenty seven for September

852
01:10:30.560 --> 01:10:43.720
nineteen eighty h Barbers streisand Woman in Love. I don't

853
01:10:43.760 --> 01:10:47.880
think I necessarily particularly appreciated that song at the time,

854
01:10:50.239 --> 01:10:53.560
but that was one hell of a song. I'm just

855
01:10:53.640 --> 01:11:00.000
a warm morning in love. Okay, that didn't do justice,

856
01:11:00.079 --> 01:11:03.560
but that is a great song. Number three had Child

857
01:11:03.840 --> 01:11:08.319
in the UK. I'm going to miss out Blondie because

858
01:11:08.800 --> 01:11:11.960
Oh the Tide is high? Was the fifteenth of November

859
01:11:12.039 --> 01:11:16.720
nineteen eighty reached number two? Why is it saying that

860
01:11:16.760 --> 01:11:20.000
when earlier on it said it reached number one? Make

861
01:11:20.079 --> 01:11:28.319
up your mind, baby, it's lying to me. Um hmm.

862
01:11:31.600 --> 01:11:39.439
It's very strange, very strange indeed. But fifteenth November nineteen

863
01:11:39.479 --> 01:11:47.119
eighty so I was ten ten and two months and

864
01:11:47.159 --> 01:11:52.239
a half EBBA, so it would have been dark outside,

865
01:11:52.239 --> 01:11:56.520
wouldn't it at night? Especially like seven o'clock or six

866
01:11:56.680 --> 01:12:02.960
thirty whenever that came on be Radio one. ABBA's super

867
01:12:03.000 --> 01:12:19.119
Trooper got to number three. It's November nineteen eighty, twenty ninth. Okay,

868
01:12:19.800 --> 01:12:26.800
this is weird. So John Lennon just like starting over

869
01:12:27.239 --> 01:12:31.039
twenty for December nineteen eighty got to number one. No,

870
01:12:31.119 --> 01:12:32.960
it's not weird. I just didn't realize that was the

871
01:12:33.000 --> 01:12:37.920
first one that they released. Yeah, so that's the twentieth

872
01:12:37.960 --> 01:12:44.159
of December. That was when John Lennon was unfortunately left us,

873
01:12:44.880 --> 01:12:51.880
so he they released that song and then I didn't

874
01:12:51.880 --> 01:12:57.560
remember that. I remember they I know the song, but

875
01:12:57.680 --> 01:13:07.560
for some reason I thought that they really least Ah,

876
01:13:07.600 --> 01:13:11.199
I'm surprised considering it was like near Christmas. Why they

877
01:13:11.199 --> 01:13:21.439
didn't release the Merry Christmas one or maybe they put

878
01:13:21.439 --> 01:13:33.479
that on the other side. Wow, that's weird in it

879
01:13:37.560 --> 01:13:44.680
h um. Yeah, So John Imagine and Woman were both

880
01:13:45.439 --> 01:13:49.680
it was number four Imagine and Woman was number two.

881
01:13:50.279 --> 01:13:58.720
It was January and February. All right, they've missed out

882
01:13:58.760 --> 01:14:05.359
some weeks here. I think I'll made him. You know

883
01:14:05.399 --> 01:14:07.680
what I've just done. Do you know what I'm saying?

884
01:14:07.840 --> 01:14:10.760
What number it got to? I've made a mistake. That

885
01:14:10.800 --> 01:14:12.680
was how many numbers it was? How many weeks it

886
01:14:12.680 --> 01:14:21.039
was at number one? H whoops? Sorry? So just like

887
01:14:21.199 --> 01:14:25.640
starting Over was number one for one week? Shall I

888
01:14:25.680 --> 01:14:29.359
start over? Shall I start the whole recording again? So

889
01:14:29.399 --> 01:14:34.239
Imagine because I'm thinking, wait a minute, Imagine was number one,

890
01:14:35.199 --> 01:14:38.079
and so was Woman because I heard it a lot.

891
01:14:38.680 --> 01:14:42.319
That was January eighty one, tenth of January nineteen eighty

892
01:14:42.359 --> 01:14:46.439
one for four weeks, and then a Woman seventh of

893
01:14:46.560 --> 01:14:53.000
February nineteen eighty one for two weeks. I love both

894
01:14:53.079 --> 01:15:04.439
those songs, Imagine probably more than Woman. Yeah, I loved Imagine,

895
01:15:06.560 --> 01:15:09.039
but it was I don't know when it was first released.

896
01:15:09.079 --> 01:15:12.640
It was in the seventies, wasn't it When did he

897
01:15:12.760 --> 01:15:22.800
first release Imagine? Imagine song wow nineteen seventy one, And

898
01:15:22.840 --> 01:15:27.039
it was from his album called John Lennon No Yeah,

899
01:15:27.119 --> 01:15:38.079
John Lennon eleventh of October nineteen seventy one, So I

900
01:15:39.600 --> 01:15:42.600
very much would have heard it at some point in

901
01:15:42.640 --> 01:15:47.800
the seventies. I just don't remember. Now. This next song

902
01:15:49.479 --> 01:15:54.359
I remember very well, and it was a Joe Dolcy

903
01:15:54.560 --> 01:15:59.159
music theater called shut Up Your Face. In fact, I

904
01:15:59.199 --> 01:16:04.720
can even right when I was in my early twenties.

905
01:16:04.920 --> 01:16:07.960
This isn't this is not nineteen eighty one, so not

906
01:16:08.000 --> 01:16:12.760
when I was in my early twenties. I'd been ten

907
01:16:13.439 --> 01:16:30.319
back then, yeah, ten. So me and my friend Terry,

908
01:16:31.239 --> 01:16:33.960
this is an alert. Early nineties, we had this job

909
01:16:34.039 --> 01:16:41.119
where we're basically processing things, but labels on things or whatever,

910
01:16:43.039 --> 01:16:49.439
and there was a this is bad that one of

911
01:16:49.479 --> 01:16:53.600
the supervisors used to come around and write down the

912
01:16:53.640 --> 01:16:56.279
weights of everything, like it's stand there for a couple

913
01:16:56.319 --> 01:16:59.000
of minutes while we did a box or a couple

914
01:16:59.039 --> 01:17:04.840
of boxes, filled the color boxes up. And for some reason,

915
01:17:04.960 --> 01:17:08.720
when he talked, he just reminded both of us of

916
01:17:09.119 --> 01:17:15.319
Joe Dalcy when he talked in the music and if

917
01:17:15.319 --> 01:17:18.359
you've never seen the video and never seen the song,

918
01:17:18.680 --> 01:17:23.600
shut up your face, then it might not mean anything

919
01:17:23.640 --> 01:17:25.800
to you. But he was he had that kind of

920
01:17:26.039 --> 01:17:28.920
He spoke a bit like that, and for some reason

921
01:17:28.960 --> 01:17:30.920
me and him found it funny. I was a young man.

922
01:17:31.720 --> 01:17:36.119
I don't I'm not excusing myself, but there you have it.

923
01:17:37.359 --> 01:17:39.960
So what we did, and I don't know why, I

924
01:17:39.960 --> 01:17:45.279
don't know how it started. Either he or I would

925
01:17:45.279 --> 01:17:50.479
start it. So once this man, let's call him Dorian,

926
01:17:51.079 --> 01:17:56.159
Doriastorius or whatever, and he was standing behind us. One

927
01:17:56.199 --> 01:18:02.119
of us would start a conversation, what's the matter you?

928
01:18:03.680 --> 01:18:05.479
That's my first one say. The other one would say,

929
01:18:06.680 --> 01:18:11.920
got no respect? But we're doing in a sentence, so

930
01:18:12.079 --> 01:18:16.600
what's the matter you? And the one say, hm, hmmm,

931
01:18:17.159 --> 01:18:20.399
you've got no respect? Any other one would say what

932
01:18:20.479 --> 01:18:23.319
do you think you do? And then the other one,

933
01:18:23.359 --> 01:18:28.279
like me and Terry, I'd say, why do you look at?

934
01:18:28.560 --> 01:18:32.079
What's the man? Why if you don't why you feel

935
01:18:32.079 --> 01:18:38.800
so bad? Is it? What's the mat you? Wait a second,

936
01:18:38.800 --> 01:18:42.119
I do it right a minute? What's the matter you?

937
01:18:43.479 --> 01:18:43.640
Hey?

938
01:18:43.640 --> 01:18:46.119
You got no respect? What do you think you do?

939
01:18:47.560 --> 01:18:50.960
Why you look so sad? It's not so bad? And

940
01:18:50.960 --> 01:18:53.439
then the one say it's a nicer place. I'll shut

941
01:18:53.520 --> 01:18:57.399
up your face? And that would We did it every

942
01:18:57.439 --> 01:19:00.600
single time, and he didn't notice. But we'd do it

943
01:19:00.600 --> 01:19:02.680
in a kind of covert way. It wouldn't just like

944
01:19:03.199 --> 01:19:04.399
what's the man are you?

945
01:19:04.920 --> 01:19:05.119
Hey?

946
01:19:05.479 --> 01:19:09.159
Got to no respect? Oh? What do you think you'd do? Hey?

947
01:19:09.439 --> 01:19:13.880
Why are you look as a bad bad? It's the police?

948
01:19:14.000 --> 01:19:16.359
I shad up be of this? That was the song,

949
01:19:17.239 --> 01:19:21.640
and when there was the boy Hey. Then the years ago.

950
01:19:22.840 --> 01:19:24.920
We probably did that as well, probably did more of

951
01:19:24.960 --> 01:19:27.199
the song, but I can't remember all of it now.

952
01:19:28.359 --> 01:19:31.000
It wasn't quite so fresh. It was fresh back then,

953
01:19:31.079 --> 01:19:34.039
you know, because you think it's nineteen eighty one. It

954
01:19:34.119 --> 01:19:38.520
was only ten years earlier that it was in the

955
01:19:38.640 --> 01:19:40.880
charts at number one for three weeks, so I can't

956
01:19:40.920 --> 01:19:45.119
know it was more fresher now another fifty five years

957
01:19:45.199 --> 01:19:49.840
gone past. But it made us giggle, and that's the

958
01:19:49.880 --> 01:19:57.439
main thing. Really. It's kind of borderline rude as well,

959
01:19:57.479 --> 01:20:02.039
but hey, I'm not responsible for what that version of

960
01:20:02.119 --> 01:20:05.720
me used to be like. I would never do that again,

961
01:20:06.239 --> 01:20:13.439
And I apologize since thearly Roxy Music Jealous Guy. Now,

962
01:20:13.479 --> 01:20:18.840
I didn't understand that. I mean, obviously, I'm gonna say obviously,

963
01:20:19.800 --> 01:20:21.760
I don't want to be rude to Roxy Music, but

964
01:20:22.359 --> 01:20:26.439
they clearly brought out that song off the back of

965
01:20:26.760 --> 01:20:34.079
John Lenon situation because it was literally, okay, the month

966
01:20:34.199 --> 01:20:43.640
after John Lennon Woman. Now, I'd never heard Jealous Guy before,

967
01:20:45.840 --> 01:20:48.279
and I didn't know it was a John Lennon song.

968
01:20:54.359 --> 01:20:58.640
Why Roxy Music couldn't just let them release John Lennon

969
01:20:58.920 --> 01:21:01.960
Jealous Guy, I don't know, but I'm kind of glad

970
01:21:01.960 --> 01:21:05.119
he didn't because, and I don't say this very often,

971
01:21:07.079 --> 01:21:12.000
I like cake, No, that wasn't it. Well, I don't.

972
01:21:17.399 --> 01:21:26.159
Roxy Music's version of Jealous Guy was better than John

973
01:21:26.239 --> 01:21:29.359
Lennon's version, and John Lennon's version was great as well,

974
01:21:30.560 --> 01:21:35.000
but Roxy Music took it to a different level my opinion,

975
01:21:35.199 --> 01:21:40.199
obviously it's my opinion, but so good. It's one of

976
01:21:40.239 --> 01:21:45.920
it is one of my favorite songs. Actually, And now

977
01:21:46.039 --> 01:21:51.960
we're moving into a territory that is very much Things

978
01:21:52.079 --> 01:21:57.000
seemed to start to change. This isn't the like nineteen

979
01:21:57.039 --> 01:22:02.159
eighty one period. It's weird. So you got through nineteen eighties.

980
01:22:02.199 --> 01:22:11.159
You've got all the Pink Floyd, the Pretender's Specials, Kenny Rogers, Blondie,

981
01:22:11.680 --> 01:22:16.239
the jam. People from the seventies were still kind of,

982
01:22:16.600 --> 01:22:20.640
you know, breaking through to the eighties, the Electric Light Talk, Eello,

983
01:22:21.359 --> 01:22:28.479
David Bowie, Abba, Barbara Streisson, John Lennon. I know there's

984
01:22:28.479 --> 01:22:30.279
a reason for John Lennon being in the charts, but

985
01:22:31.640 --> 01:22:35.560
you know, there's a lot of stuff from the eighties

986
01:22:36.359 --> 01:22:41.680
like that moved over from the seventies, and then in

987
01:22:41.720 --> 01:22:46.960
the nineteen eighty one, the nineteen eighty one things started

988
01:22:46.960 --> 01:22:52.960
to change a bit. Shaking Stevens, although admittedly being around

989
01:22:53.000 --> 01:23:04.239
for a long time, became huge and Bucks Fizz. They

990
01:23:04.359 --> 01:23:06.760
had Making Your Mind Up, which is at number one

991
01:23:06.760 --> 01:23:10.039
for three weeks. They won the Eurovision Song Contest for

992
01:23:10.199 --> 01:23:15.479
England or UK. I'm not sure if it's Britain or

993
01:23:15.520 --> 01:23:18.920
England or the UK. I lose track. I only lived here.

994
01:23:19.399 --> 01:23:25.880
I don't know who they represented, and that was a

995
01:23:25.960 --> 01:23:28.199
huge hit because there was a point where they pulled

996
01:23:28.199 --> 01:23:34.880
their miniskirts off and I was ten at the time.

997
01:23:35.319 --> 01:23:37.319
I don't know why I'm really focusing on my age,

998
01:23:38.960 --> 01:23:43.479
but I didn't disapprove, That's what I'm saying. Shaking Stevens

999
01:23:43.840 --> 01:23:48.800
was my favorite singer. I feel a little a bit

1000
01:23:48.840 --> 01:23:50.600
embarrassed because I thought I liked him when I was

1001
01:23:50.640 --> 01:23:54.279
really little. But I was ten ten and a half

1002
01:23:54.319 --> 01:23:58.359
at this point, so I wasn't really little, which doesn't

1003
01:23:58.399 --> 01:24:06.239
make sense to me, because I specifically remember walking around

1004
01:24:06.880 --> 01:24:12.239
the field reading the lyrics to Stand and Deliver. But

1005
01:24:12.319 --> 01:24:19.640
it was ninth of May nineteen eighty one. No, that's fine, actually,

1006
01:24:20.560 --> 01:24:23.840
because I didn't Yeah, that would have made sense nineteen

1007
01:24:23.880 --> 01:24:27.840
eighty one. I started high school in September nineteen eighty one,

1008
01:24:28.279 --> 01:24:30.399
so I've got through it. I've got the memories correct.

1009
01:24:31.920 --> 01:24:36.239
Because I used to have the I used to have

1010
01:24:36.239 --> 01:24:39.760
a magazine called Looking Magazine. I get it every week,

1011
01:24:40.560 --> 01:24:43.039
me and my brothers Will had. We had two comics

1012
01:24:43.079 --> 01:24:50.439
each each week. I had Looking and The Dandy. So

1013
01:24:50.640 --> 01:24:55.560
Looking was kind of it was more like a TV magazine. Really,

1014
01:24:55.880 --> 01:24:58.680
it was very much to do with TV and the

1015
01:24:58.800 --> 01:25:02.199
charts music. That's what it was really about. It was

1016
01:25:02.279 --> 01:25:09.920
kind of, yeah, TV movies, charts, Yeah, it's brilliant. I

1017
01:25:09.920 --> 01:25:12.399
don't know if it's still around, to be honest, but

1018
01:25:13.119 --> 01:25:17.680
it was really good. And The Dandy was for fun.

1019
01:25:19.039 --> 01:25:22.239
I think Looking was for knowledge. It was for keeping

1020
01:25:22.319 --> 01:25:27.560
up to date and knowing when the next new songs

1021
01:25:27.600 --> 01:25:31.960
coming out, when the next movie, next TV show, you know,

1022
01:25:32.039 --> 01:25:34.279
like when the A Team's coming back up on TV

1023
01:25:34.359 --> 01:25:38.039
again and things like that. And they'd be posters that

1024
01:25:38.119 --> 01:25:44.840
we could get and I think I started reading. I

1025
01:25:44.880 --> 01:25:47.399
was going to say ordering, but someone else got it

1026
01:25:47.439 --> 01:25:54.399
for me. But it was I'm pretty sure we were

1027
01:25:54.439 --> 01:26:00.000
living in the road where the house at my Nanogrande

1028
01:26:00.119 --> 01:26:10.880
moved into, so that'd be nineteen seventy eight and seventeen nine,

1029
01:26:10.960 --> 01:26:15.359
seventy eight sort of time. So I started getting that

1030
01:26:15.479 --> 01:26:18.920
then because I remember we were sitting in front of

1031
01:26:19.000 --> 01:26:21.720
the garden, which is a little bit weird because we

1032
01:26:21.800 --> 01:26:24.119
normally wouldn't do that, but it must have been very hot,

1033
01:26:24.880 --> 01:26:29.880
so we were sitting. Because how it worked is he

1034
01:26:30.000 --> 01:26:32.439
had the house. Do you know the front of a house,

1035
01:26:33.319 --> 01:26:35.680
and it's the front door. So I'm going to get

1036
01:26:35.680 --> 01:26:39.039
I'll give you a description of the house where I lived.

1037
01:26:39.520 --> 01:26:43.359
It was my favorite house ever. And then my nanny

1038
01:26:43.359 --> 01:26:46.079
grand had lived there as well. For woman then lived

1039
01:26:46.079 --> 01:26:56.279
there from nineteen seventy nine to probably about two thousand

1040
01:26:56.279 --> 01:27:10.000
and ten, maybe maybe two thousand and nine, seventy nine,

1041
01:27:10.079 --> 01:27:12.680
eighty nine, ninety nine two, so she was there thirty

1042
01:27:12.760 --> 01:27:20.239
years at least. And I loved that house, but it

1043
01:27:20.359 --> 01:27:23.600
just wasn't big enough for a new sprogue. So when

1044
01:27:23.680 --> 01:27:31.520
my little brother was born, we you know, it was

1045
01:27:31.600 --> 01:27:33.600
okay for a short while because he could stay in

1046
01:27:33.640 --> 01:27:37.760
their bedroom, in the parents' bedroom while he was a baby.

1047
01:27:37.840 --> 01:27:42.680
But you know, babies grow, and there was solutions, you know, like, well,

1048
01:27:42.720 --> 01:27:44.960
we need to get find a solution for this situation,

1049
01:27:45.199 --> 01:27:51.720
and apparently my solution of just getting rid of him

1050
01:27:51.800 --> 01:27:56.680
wasn't a popular one that was voted down, so you know,

1051
01:27:56.720 --> 01:28:00.880
they kept the baby and move to a bigger house.

1052
01:28:02.319 --> 01:28:05.079
I wanted to stay there. I had my own bedroom.

1053
01:28:05.479 --> 01:28:09.119
I liked that house. It's the only house I've ever

1054
01:28:09.319 --> 01:28:15.439
liked ever. I loved. I loved that house, and it

1055
01:28:15.560 --> 01:28:20.479
was the first nice place I've ever lived. And I

1056
01:28:20.520 --> 01:28:23.640
think because the memories of being there for the first

1057
01:28:23.760 --> 01:28:27.439
year and also my little brother being born out it

1058
01:28:27.520 --> 01:28:30.039
was a beautiful time as well, and he was running around.

1059
01:28:30.479 --> 01:28:32.239
It's like having a little puppy, isn't it. Really, When

1060
01:28:32.279 --> 01:28:38.439
you get a baby, it's very entertaining and then a

1061
01:28:38.479 --> 01:28:46.680
novelty wears off. I shouldn't say stuff like that, but

1062
01:28:46.720 --> 01:28:56.840
it is true. So as a kid it was true, okay, right,

1063
01:28:58.239 --> 01:29:02.319
And then when my Nana and Granda living there, it

1064
01:29:02.439 --> 01:29:07.239
kind of you know, from ninety one onwards, my name

1065
01:29:07.279 --> 01:29:12.600
was living there on our own, so I was visiting

1066
01:29:12.640 --> 01:29:16.079
and just that house was in my life for forty

1067
01:29:16.159 --> 01:29:21.680
years or thirty thirty odd years. It is the only

1068
01:29:22.960 --> 01:29:26.319
the only place really, I mean, my dad's house now

1069
01:29:26.399 --> 01:29:29.600
has been in He's lived at the same place for

1070
01:29:30.439 --> 01:29:34.960
since what probably early nineties, so that's a long time.

1071
01:29:35.039 --> 01:29:42.159
Isn't it. Yeah, so he's that's what's it ninety two thousand,

1072
01:29:42.359 --> 01:29:47.680
two thousand and ten, twenty thirty five years or whatever.

1073
01:29:47.720 --> 01:29:53.159
He's lived there, BlimE me, thirty four thirty three, thirty four.

1074
01:29:55.479 --> 01:29:57.239
So I'm kind of used to him. But I don't

1075
01:29:57.239 --> 01:29:59.920
go there very often, but I'm used to that kind

1076
01:30:00.000 --> 01:30:02.720
I used to live in here. Now, although I could

1077
01:30:02.760 --> 01:30:06.039
really perhaps do something a little bit better with the police,

1078
01:30:08.279 --> 01:30:12.960
I don't quite know what I mean, how do you

1079
01:30:13.079 --> 01:30:20.399
improve perfection? I don't know. But anyway, so you're looking

1080
01:30:20.439 --> 01:30:25.159
at the front of the house, there's a window downstairs,

1081
01:30:25.720 --> 01:30:28.439
a window upstairs, So the window downstairs on the right,

1082
01:30:30.000 --> 01:30:33.039
and there's a bit of grass on the right, and

1083
01:30:33.079 --> 01:30:37.479
then there's another house connected, so it was a semi

1084
01:30:37.560 --> 01:30:45.560
detached house. The other house connected was basically just the opposite,

1085
01:30:46.079 --> 01:30:49.439
although they did knock through so Whenmber going there, they

1086
01:30:49.520 --> 01:31:00.720
knocked through the living room into the Yeah, they knocked

1087
01:31:00.720 --> 01:31:05.319
through the living room into the kitchen. And I think

1088
01:31:05.319 --> 01:31:08.119
they had an extension as well, so it's a much

1089
01:31:08.159 --> 01:31:12.279
bigger space inside their house. But then they had less

1090
01:31:12.359 --> 01:31:16.640
guard because the back garden wasn't big really, it was

1091
01:31:16.680 --> 01:31:18.920
a nice size, I mean I'd be very happy with

1092
01:31:18.960 --> 01:31:24.840
a size, a small or small one. I mean small

1093
01:31:24.840 --> 01:31:26.600
ones better than no one at all, isn't it that?

1094
01:31:27.039 --> 01:31:32.479
You know what I mean? So, but looking at the front,

1095
01:31:33.680 --> 01:31:36.560
the window downstairs was for the living room, for the

1096
01:31:36.600 --> 01:31:40.159
living room. The windows upstairs, the one above that was

1097
01:31:40.199 --> 01:31:43.039
for the what was my name's bedroom, but it was

1098
01:31:43.159 --> 01:31:50.000
originally my dad's in his wife's bedroom. And then you

1099
01:31:50.079 --> 01:31:54.800
got the front doors had left upstairs from that, the

1100
01:31:54.920 --> 01:32:02.600
first window up there was my bed room window mine, mine,

1101
01:32:03.159 --> 01:32:09.800
my first ever bedroom, my first ever bedroom, I mean, wow,

1102
01:32:11.680 --> 01:32:17.920
I had it's my first as a child, I had

1103
01:32:18.119 --> 01:32:21.960
three bedrooms of my own. I was very lucky, actually

1104
01:32:23.239 --> 01:32:28.000
that I mean in a way, although I didn't eh,

1105
01:32:28.760 --> 01:32:31.680
you know, it was I preferred the small house. But

1106
01:32:31.960 --> 01:32:34.880
both my older brothers were sharing a room. Wasn't really

1107
01:32:34.920 --> 01:32:39.920
fair on them. But I did realize at the time,

1108
01:32:39.960 --> 01:32:43.039
although it wasn't fair on them, my happiness was way

1109
01:32:43.079 --> 01:32:47.800
more important. I realized that when I was seven, I

1110
01:32:47.880 --> 01:32:52.840
came to that conclusion. And when I was eight, I thought, yeah,

1111
01:32:52.840 --> 01:32:57.439
there's too many of us. Now, one of the older

1112
01:32:57.439 --> 01:33:00.960
ones needs to move out. Maybe if that both of

1113
01:33:01.000 --> 01:33:02.880
the older ones move out, then the baby can go

1114
01:33:02.920 --> 01:33:05.720
into the other room. Well, I can move into that

1115
01:33:05.800 --> 01:33:07.520
room because it's bigger, and he can move into the

1116
01:33:07.520 --> 01:33:13.600
small room. And we just don't mention the other brothers again.

1117
01:33:15.319 --> 01:33:17.239
But you know, I was eight years old. Logic wasn't

1118
01:33:17.800 --> 01:33:23.760
at the top. I just I don't think I was

1119
01:33:23.800 --> 01:33:26.880
built for a big family. I know some people say, well,

1120
01:33:26.920 --> 01:33:29.520
it's only four kids, it's not a big family, but

1121
01:33:29.560 --> 01:33:37.079
it's it was noisy, very very very noisy, very chaotic

1122
01:33:37.119 --> 01:33:47.279
at times, and I don't know, I kind of I

1123
01:33:47.319 --> 01:33:53.319
didn't always enjoy it, if I'm honest, I was very

1124
01:33:53.359 --> 01:33:57.399
different from them, and we were all very different. Really.

1125
01:33:58.279 --> 01:34:03.920
I just I was really into crowds, and four kids

1126
01:34:04.079 --> 01:34:11.560
two adults is a crowd. That's a crowded space. I

1127
01:34:11.760 --> 01:34:16.279
liked my space. I remember my dad shouting up at

1128
01:34:16.279 --> 01:34:21.199
the window once and where are you Jason? I said,

1129
01:34:22.920 --> 01:34:28.760
I'm in my I'm here in the bedroom. I said,

1130
01:34:28.760 --> 01:34:30.960
why are you asking me where I am? It said,

1131
01:34:30.960 --> 01:34:33.840
what do you mean? I said, you're literally standing below

1132
01:34:33.880 --> 01:34:36.159
my window, shouting up at my window asking me where

1133
01:34:36.159 --> 01:34:40.720
I am. If you didn't know where I was, then

1134
01:34:40.720 --> 01:34:43.439
why would you be looking at the window. You literally

1135
01:34:43.520 --> 01:34:46.159
know I'm here don't you? He said, I can see

1136
01:34:46.199 --> 01:34:48.920
you now. I said no, I mean before I was

1137
01:34:48.960 --> 01:34:51.359
standing at the window, you were shouting up at the window.

1138
01:34:52.279 --> 01:34:53.760
And he said, how do you know I'm stand at

1139
01:34:53.760 --> 01:34:56.279
the window shouting up if you weren't at the window

1140
01:34:56.319 --> 01:34:59.680
looking down, how do you know where I was? I said,

1141
01:34:59.680 --> 01:35:02.199
because when I got to the window, you were standing there.

1142
01:35:03.680 --> 01:35:05.319
I said, maybe when I got to the window, you

1143
01:35:05.439 --> 01:35:09.000
were standing there. And he said that one of us

1144
01:35:09.000 --> 01:35:14.720
said it, and he said, should we just stop this now?

1145
01:35:16.159 --> 01:35:20.279
I said, what do you mean? He said, well, I

1146
01:35:20.319 --> 01:35:22.319
don't know. I'd just rather go back to talking about

1147
01:35:22.359 --> 01:35:26.600
the music. I mean, how did you even get on

1148
01:35:26.680 --> 01:35:30.840
to talking about rooms and you know, wishing you'd had

1149
01:35:30.840 --> 01:35:34.960
a smaller family. How do you get from Blondie and

1150
01:35:35.000 --> 01:35:39.199
Shake and Stevens and Bucks Fizz and to that? I mean,

1151
01:35:39.520 --> 01:35:43.560
you were talking about walking around the field reading the

1152
01:35:43.680 --> 01:35:47.920
lyrics from Looking magazine, and you were confused whether or

1153
01:35:48.000 --> 01:35:51.359
not that memory was correct because you remember doing that

1154
01:35:51.439 --> 01:35:55.880
around your like the little school you went to, and

1155
01:35:55.920 --> 01:35:59.159
you had to correct and realize that everyone that is true,

1156
01:35:59.159 --> 01:36:01.720
but it was true because you weren't at high school yet.

1157
01:36:02.880 --> 01:36:09.199
I said, okay, I said, what what what what what

1158
01:36:09.239 --> 01:36:12.520
are you getting at? He said, how I thought we'd

1159
01:36:12.520 --> 01:36:16.119
just maybe get back to the music. I said, all

1160
01:36:16.159 --> 01:36:20.000
about the description of the house, he said, do you

1161
01:36:20.039 --> 01:36:22.720
think anyone really wants to know the description of a

1162
01:36:22.840 --> 01:36:29.319
house that you lived in when you were eight years old?

1163
01:36:29.359 --> 01:36:35.199
I don't know. Some people might said how many how

1164
01:36:35.199 --> 01:36:43.239
many rooms was there? Or bedrooms? You mean? He said, yeah, three?

1165
01:36:43.800 --> 01:36:49.560
And downstairs? What was their living room? Kitchen? Yeah, kitchen,

1166
01:36:51.079 --> 01:36:54.920
anything else? Or well, there was a bathroom upstairs, and

1167
01:36:54.920 --> 01:36:58.399
there's a toilet downstairs. But the bathroom also had a toilet,

1168
01:36:59.600 --> 01:37:04.000
but the it was very small. Not the toilet itself.

1169
01:37:04.399 --> 01:37:09.159
The toilet was normal size, but the room that the

1170
01:37:09.199 --> 01:37:15.840
toilet was in was quite small. In fact, it was

1171
01:37:17.399 --> 01:37:19.159
a little bit of struggle to get in there when

1172
01:37:19.159 --> 01:37:22.560
I was sort of a bit bigger, got stuck once.

1173
01:37:24.520 --> 01:37:28.920
But I don't want to talk about it. Very hard

1174
01:37:29.000 --> 01:37:34.119
to maneuver, because there's certain maneuvers during a toilet session

1175
01:37:34.760 --> 01:37:40.039
that needs a degree of movement and flexibility, and if

1176
01:37:40.039 --> 01:37:44.960
you're squashed against two walls, it's hard, you know, without

1177
01:37:45.000 --> 01:37:49.159
sort of going into details, he can't tell me more.

1178
01:37:49.199 --> 01:37:53.319
Tell me more? Did you get very far? Tell me more?

1179
01:37:53.359 --> 01:37:55.960
Tell me more like did he have a car?

1180
01:37:58.279 --> 01:37:58.399
Right?

1181
01:37:58.479 --> 01:38:03.840
Okay? Back to the songs Adam in the ants Standard Deliver.

1182
01:38:04.479 --> 01:38:14.399
So I remember seeing on morning TV, probably Saturday morning,

1183
01:38:15.399 --> 01:38:19.600
there was a I could not a documentary, but there

1184
01:38:19.640 --> 01:38:22.079
was like a short thing where they were talking about

1185
01:38:22.119 --> 01:38:27.920
the behind the scenes of making that video Standard Deliver.

1186
01:38:29.359 --> 01:38:30.720
I don't know if you remember the lyrics for that.

1187
01:38:30.800 --> 01:38:35.319
It was stand and deliver your money or your life,

1188
01:38:36.239 --> 01:38:39.840
try and use a mirror, not a bullet or a knife.

1189
01:38:40.600 --> 01:38:51.720
And even though you, even though you choose to blow,

1190
01:38:51.920 --> 01:38:56.840
your conscience will be mine or mine even though you

1191
01:38:57.239 --> 01:39:01.760
choose the I wonder what the word was I missed

1192
01:39:01.760 --> 01:39:08.000
out actually to start with it be oh oh ho

1193
01:39:08.840 --> 01:39:13.199
oh ha oh ho. Do do do do do? Do?

1194
01:39:13.199 --> 01:39:13.479
Do?

1195
01:39:13.359 --> 01:39:13.399
Do?

1196
01:39:14.199 --> 01:39:17.479
I an acid? Don't you ever? Don't? Okay? A different song?

1197
01:39:19.600 --> 01:39:26.039
I remember this one, Smoky Robinson Being with you? Is

1198
01:39:26.079 --> 01:39:26.560
that the one?

1199
01:39:27.239 --> 01:39:31.319
And okay, what to see a batter me? And and okay,

1200
01:39:31.359 --> 01:39:36.239
what did do? And okay about anything else but being

1201
01:39:36.359 --> 01:39:38.079
with you? Being with you?

1202
01:39:39.159 --> 01:39:44.520
People to say they alvis do do do do you?

1203
01:39:46.039 --> 01:39:49.560
I remember the he was walking on the beach, Smoky

1204
01:39:49.680 --> 01:39:55.279
Robinson with his really soft voice, walking on the beach,

1205
01:39:55.640 --> 01:39:56.479
maybe barefooted.

1206
01:39:56.600 --> 01:39:57.119
I don't know.

1207
01:39:57.359 --> 01:39:59.640
I wasn't looking at his feet. I wasn't looking any

1208
01:39:59.680 --> 01:40:01.800
part of the body of saying that. I wasn't particularly

1209
01:40:01.800 --> 01:40:06.720
focused on his feet. But I do remember it was

1210
01:40:06.720 --> 01:40:11.479
a beach and it was at number one for two weeks,

1211
01:40:12.159 --> 01:40:16.960
and I like that song. Now, I don't remember Michael

1212
01:40:17.039 --> 01:40:25.319
Jackson being number one with One Day in Your Life, because,

1213
01:40:25.399 --> 01:40:27.840
from the looks of it, Michael Jackson did not have

1214
01:40:28.239 --> 01:40:32.199
a number one during nineteen eighty the nineteen eighty one,

1215
01:40:32.359 --> 01:40:38.800
twenty seventh for June, he had One Day in Your Life.

1216
01:40:39.840 --> 01:40:43.239
So I'm surprised at that. Why was that? Just the

1217
01:40:43.279 --> 01:40:55.479
reason surprise is because he had Off the Wall, which

1218
01:40:55.640 --> 01:40:59.079
was either I think it was seventy nine, and One

1219
01:40:59.159 --> 01:41:00.880
Day in your Life was not on Off the Wall.

1220
01:41:05.520 --> 01:41:10.479
So where did One Day in Your Life? It was

1221
01:41:10.520 --> 01:41:14.239
released in ninety from the album One Day in Your

1222
01:41:14.239 --> 01:41:26.199
Life nineteen eighty one, really, so I'm confused. So I'm

1223
01:41:26.239 --> 01:41:28.000
looking at One Day in Your Life as a song

1224
01:41:28.079 --> 01:41:32.119
recorded by American singer Mark Jackson for his nineteen seventy

1225
01:41:32.199 --> 01:41:36.800
five album Forever Michael, which I like. That's that album.

1226
01:41:36.840 --> 01:41:42.199
It's a great album. Lyrics by Rene Armond was issued

1227
01:41:42.239 --> 01:41:46.319
as a single in the UK nineteen seventy five, and

1228
01:41:47.239 --> 01:41:52.079
later released March twentieth, nineteen eighty one as a single

1229
01:41:52.560 --> 01:41:56.760
from the compilation album One Day in Your Life. Due

1230
01:41:56.760 --> 01:42:00.880
to the commercial interest that generated from the sales of

1231
01:42:01.039 --> 01:42:11.680
Jackson's hit nineteen seventy nine album Off the Wall, Okay.

1232
01:42:11.880 --> 01:42:14.880
While a modest ushit, it was bigger hit in the UK.

1233
01:42:18.439 --> 01:42:22.720
It became the sixth best seller single of nineteen eighty one.

1234
01:42:23.479 --> 01:42:26.319
That's kind of weird, not not weird, just if I

1235
01:42:26.359 --> 01:42:32.640
think of nineteen eighty one, I thought that he released thriller,

1236
01:42:32.720 --> 01:42:39.680
but maybe it was later on than it. Shaking Stevens

1237
01:42:40.680 --> 01:42:46.399
Julie Woo, Julie, I love Shaking Stephens. I used to

1238
01:42:46.520 --> 01:42:50.560
dance like Shaking Stephens, or as I used to like

1239
01:42:50.600 --> 01:42:52.760
it to say that other if like I said words

1240
01:42:53.319 --> 01:42:55.840
at the time, I used to like to tell people

1241
01:42:56.399 --> 01:43:02.439
Shaking Stephens likes to dance like me. Craftwork the model.

1242
01:43:03.640 --> 01:43:07.920
Now I don't remember this at the time. Great song,

1243
01:43:08.600 --> 01:43:13.079
she use the model and she's looking good. Do do

1244
01:43:13.079 --> 01:43:19.720
Do Do Do Do Do? I love that song. They're

1245
01:43:19.760 --> 01:43:24.199
the type of songs that I just don't hear anywhere.

1246
01:43:24.239 --> 01:43:27.600
I don't you know. I kind of forget about them,

1247
01:43:28.000 --> 01:43:30.439
and then when I hear them, I think, Wow, I

1248
01:43:30.479 --> 01:43:38.800
love that song. The jam town called Alice Malice rather sorry,

1249
01:43:40.319 --> 01:43:43.199
and I like that as well. It was good old

1250
01:43:43.319 --> 01:43:49.479
type fit. Does anyone remember this one in the jungle?

1251
01:43:49.800 --> 01:43:57.880
The jungle line? Steves denied the Jungle that was a

1252
01:43:57.880 --> 01:44:00.600
good song like that number three weeks so it was

1253
01:44:00.680 --> 01:44:06.840
number one. I'm just going to go down Paul McCartney

1254
01:44:06.880 --> 01:44:10.600
and Stevie Wonder Ebony and Ivory twenty fourth of April

1255
01:44:10.720 --> 01:44:20.199
nineteen eighty two. Wow. Now I would have been eleven

1256
01:44:20.279 --> 01:44:29.359
years old, so I was in the first year of

1257
01:44:29.439 --> 01:44:38.359
high school, Bernie and for me, so yeah, I was

1258
01:44:38.439 --> 01:44:40.520
number one for three weeks. So I loved that song.

1259
01:44:43.800 --> 01:44:47.880
I used to sing the lyrics. It's something I used

1260
01:44:47.920 --> 01:44:55.239
to do in high school. Not all the time, but

1261
01:44:55.399 --> 01:45:00.000
sometimes I needed to be on my own and i'd

1262
01:45:00.119 --> 01:45:03.640
walk around the field, the playfield, and I would sing

1263
01:45:03.720 --> 01:45:08.399
to myself and i'd sing the songs like Ebony and Ivory,

1264
01:45:08.680 --> 01:45:14.079
or i'd sing madness songs or you know, different songs.

1265
01:45:15.439 --> 01:45:17.359
But that was one of my favorite songs at the time.

1266
01:45:20.119 --> 01:45:24.479
Nicole A little piece. I don't know that one Madness

1267
01:45:24.560 --> 01:45:27.960
House of Fun. I got to number one for two weeks.

1268
01:45:28.119 --> 01:45:31.920
Goody two Shoes, Adam and No Adam Ant Not Adam

1269
01:45:31.960 --> 01:45:39.720
and the Ants, Captain Sensible, happy talk, happy talking talking,

1270
01:45:39.760 --> 01:45:43.720
happy talk, talk about things you like to do. Love

1271
01:45:43.800 --> 01:45:49.920
that song. I've never been to me, Charlene, that's a

1272
01:45:49.960 --> 01:45:52.479
great song as well. Wow, I forgot about that one.

1273
01:45:53.279 --> 01:45:57.319
And then of course Fame I Want to Live Forever

1274
01:45:58.800 --> 01:46:03.079
and that was July Night in to Dex's Midnight Runners,

1275
01:46:03.640 --> 01:46:11.159
Come On, Eileen and number four. That was number one

1276
01:46:11.159 --> 01:46:15.880
for four weeks August eighty two. And yeah, I remember

1277
01:46:15.920 --> 01:46:18.800
that that was a really popular song during my disco

1278
01:46:18.960 --> 01:46:24.239
years when I was a DJ. And Survivor was because

1279
01:46:24.239 --> 01:46:26.199
you just played this the beginning that there's the first

1280
01:46:26.279 --> 01:46:29.479
few chords of the song do Do Do Do Do

1281
01:46:29.479 --> 01:46:32.640
Do Do and with no I just like do do

1282
01:46:32.640 --> 01:46:34.720

1283
01:46:35.159 --> 01:46:39.920
wheen do do do Do Do Do Do Do Do

1284
01:46:39.920 --> 01:46:45.319
Do Do Do do? Okay, it sounded it sounded kind

1285
01:46:45.359 --> 01:46:47.720
of right to me when I first started singing it.

1286
01:46:49.039 --> 01:46:52.479
I have the Tiger by Survivor. Great song, but that

1287
01:46:52.600 --> 01:46:55.880
was like Rookie, wasn't it. I have the tag. Yeah,

1288
01:46:57.800 --> 01:47:00.239
that was number one for four weeks, so I'm yes

1289
01:47:00.359 --> 01:47:06.000
in that was because of the Rocky movie. Oh this

1290
01:47:06.039 --> 01:47:09.319
is another song that I don't hear very often past

1291
01:47:09.439 --> 01:47:16.119
the Ducci for Musical Youth nineteen eighty two October, and

1292
01:47:16.159 --> 01:47:18.079
I still to this day do not know what they're

1293
01:47:18.279 --> 01:47:23.960
talking about or what they were saying, like it's like

1294
01:47:24.319 --> 01:47:29.960
Eastern nariation, their Voriian whatever, it's like what, But I

1295
01:47:30.000 --> 01:47:39.039
love them. I actually yeah, wow. I bought their album,

1296
01:47:39.560 --> 01:47:44.560
one of the first ever albums I bought. I bought

1297
01:47:44.560 --> 01:47:49.439
that album, Musical Youth. I did, I did, I did,

1298
01:47:50.600 --> 01:47:52.159
and I listened to all of it. I liked all

1299
01:47:52.159 --> 01:47:59.039
the songs. Culture Club do You Really Want to Hurt Me?

1300
01:48:00.039 --> 01:48:01.880
Culture Club was a weird one because I loved all

1301
01:48:01.880 --> 01:48:05.960
that stuff as well. Nineteen eighty two, twenty third of October.

1302
01:48:08.039 --> 01:48:09.640
I don't know if it's the first song, but it's

1303
01:48:09.640 --> 01:48:11.560
the first song to get to number one according to

1304
01:48:11.600 --> 01:48:16.880
this Now. I remember we was on holiday in All

1305
01:48:17.079 --> 01:48:23.319
Whales and we were watching the TV black and white TV.

1306
01:48:23.479 --> 01:48:26.640
We had this little portable thing running off a generator

1307
01:48:28.439 --> 01:48:31.359
and we're all sitting around. Maybe there's a campfire, I

1308
01:48:31.359 --> 01:48:38.279
don't know. If that is probably during the day. It

1309
01:48:38.319 --> 01:48:39.800
was summer, so it might have been in the evening.

1310
01:48:40.199 --> 01:48:42.800
It's not really relevant, is it to the story? We

1311
01:48:42.920 --> 01:48:45.520
need to know precisely what time it was and what

1312
01:48:45.640 --> 01:48:52.319
is everyone wearing and who had the most regular bowel

1313
01:48:52.359 --> 01:48:55.439
movement at that time. No, we don't need all that information.

1314
01:48:57.199 --> 01:49:05.560
I there were a conversation right about boy George, because

1315
01:49:05.680 --> 01:49:08.760
boy George was so pretty if you could look back,

1316
01:49:08.920 --> 01:49:18.399
he was a very attractive person, beautiful eyes.

1317
01:49:18.640 --> 01:49:18.800
You know.

1318
01:49:18.960 --> 01:49:22.520
I'm just saying it's just I would say factual. He's

1319
01:49:22.680 --> 01:49:29.800
very I loved him. Anyway, we were having this argument

1320
01:49:31.199 --> 01:49:35.600
between us, so the five of us, it is what

1321
01:49:35.720 --> 01:49:42.600
is it? Me my oldest brother, my other brother that

1322
01:49:42.720 --> 01:49:50.039
was also older than me, the father, the mother, and

1323
01:49:50.079 --> 01:49:53.640
we're all saying arguing between us, like is it a

1324
01:49:53.680 --> 01:49:55.640
boy or was it a girl? Is it a man

1325
01:49:55.720 --> 01:50:00.159
or is it a woman? You know, a part my

1326
01:50:00.159 --> 01:50:04.920
little brother who was he was just like I want

1327
01:50:04.920 --> 01:50:07.359
to do a pooh, I need a pooh because it

1328
01:50:07.439 --> 01:50:10.680
was only four years old, wasn't he He wasn't too

1329
01:50:10.720 --> 01:50:19.640
interested in culture club. I'm pretty sure one of us,

1330
01:50:20.800 --> 01:50:24.359
maybe me, I don't know, maybe someone else said maybe

1331
01:50:24.359 --> 01:50:29.800
it's in the name boy George, but it looks nagy girl.

1332
01:50:30.000 --> 01:50:34.560
She looks naked girl. It was confusing because back then

1333
01:50:36.960 --> 01:50:44.079
and his name is boy George. It was kind of

1334
01:50:44.960 --> 01:50:49.680
it was kind of it's weird. But oh he was

1335
01:50:49.800 --> 01:50:57.119
so gorgeous. Oh he's still doing good. I've seen him, well,

1336
01:50:57.199 --> 01:51:02.199
not recent but like in recent years on these music

1337
01:51:02.239 --> 01:51:07.920
shows that he he does where he's a judge and

1338
01:51:08.000 --> 01:51:13.439
he just it seems to be ageless. I'd say another one.

1339
01:51:14.840 --> 01:51:22.239
It was beautiful and as adamant. I don't honestly, he

1340
01:51:22.439 --> 01:51:25.359
just he will all let make up, but he didn't

1341
01:51:25.359 --> 01:51:28.000
need because that was part of his act, wasn't it.

1342
01:51:28.479 --> 01:51:37.760
But he was super handsome, actually pretty, he was pretty anyway.

1343
01:51:37.800 --> 01:51:40.880
I don't know why I'm talking about that beas Yeah,

1344
01:51:41.239 --> 01:51:42.960
because they were kind of the same kind of period

1345
01:51:42.960 --> 01:51:49.159
when they I suppose Eddie Grant, Oh don't one a dance?

1346
01:51:49.960 --> 01:51:53.279
Wasn't that? Also on a Beach that was at number

1347
01:51:53.319 --> 01:51:58.520
one for three weeks? The jam beat Surrender Don't remember

1348
01:51:58.520 --> 01:52:05.600
that one? Renee and Srinato eighteenth December eighty two, four weeks.

1349
01:52:07.399 --> 01:52:10.039
I remember this one. I'm not going to sing it,

1350
01:52:10.119 --> 01:52:14.319
but it was like if your Love my Darling, see

1351
01:52:14.479 --> 01:52:23.239
your Love and it was great. So that was eighty two.

1352
01:52:23.479 --> 01:52:25.159
I could go on, I'm going to do eighty three

1353
01:52:25.199 --> 01:52:30.239
because eighty three was a big year. This is probably

1354
01:52:30.239 --> 01:52:34.680
when I got into my favorite songs. And it's not

1355
01:52:34.800 --> 01:52:38.039
just because Michael Jackson was in the charts, but some

1356
01:52:38.119 --> 01:52:43.159
of my top songs. I would say, oh, maybe not,

1357
01:52:43.800 --> 01:52:46.319
but not all of my songs. I like, got to

1358
01:52:46.399 --> 01:52:49.680
number one, but you've got Phil Collins. You can't hurry

1359
01:52:49.720 --> 01:52:55.560
love Mente Work down Under and well it's okay. Two

1360
01:52:55.600 --> 01:52:59.560
of my favorite songs that I remember of that year

1361
01:53:00.520 --> 01:53:02.359
because that's when I went in to hospital. I had

1362
01:53:02.439 --> 01:53:07.960
my appendix out Men at Work down Under and Bonnie

1363
01:53:08.039 --> 01:53:12.279
Tyler totally Clips at the Heart. Both those songs were

1364
01:53:12.359 --> 01:53:17.079
my favorite songs at the time, so I had my

1365
01:53:17.119 --> 01:53:23.000
appendix out. Probably I don't know, Summer eighty three, my

1366
01:53:23.119 --> 01:53:30.920
moon maybe like June May, June May. Maybe, I don't know.

1367
01:53:31.239 --> 01:53:34.800
I was still at school. God, that would have Actually,

1368
01:53:35.279 --> 01:53:37.760
I would have been distraught if I'd had to have

1369
01:53:39.399 --> 01:53:43.760
that time in hospital and then that time recovering and

1370
01:53:43.880 --> 01:53:47.079
didn't get to lose any school time. That would have

1371
01:53:47.119 --> 01:53:50.439
been Oh Luckily I did. I managed to lose some

1372
01:53:50.479 --> 01:53:58.479
time at school, so that's good. And cack a goo goo,

1373
01:53:58.880 --> 01:54:02.680
catch a goo goo too, shy Michael Jackson, Billy Jean

1374
01:54:02.760 --> 01:54:07.840
got to number one, Duranne DuRane. Is this something I

1375
01:54:07.840 --> 01:54:08.279
should know?

1376
01:54:10.359 --> 01:54:10.520
Oh?

1377
01:54:10.720 --> 01:54:11.279
But this was?

1378
01:54:13.039 --> 01:54:17.000
Is there something I should know? Is it something I

1379
01:54:17.000 --> 01:54:21.319
should know? Is there something? Oh I should know? See?

1380
01:54:21.439 --> 01:54:26.000
I never give up. David Bowry, Let's dance, Let's dance,

1381
01:54:28.239 --> 01:54:39.399
Span their bully true. So I would say Every Breath

1382
01:54:39.439 --> 01:54:45.119
you Take, New edition Candy Girl. I like that song.

1383
01:54:45.279 --> 01:54:51.079
Every Breath You Take was good Rodster Paul Young, wherever

1384
01:54:51.119 --> 01:54:56.960
I lay my hat that this is weird because something's

1385
01:54:57.039 --> 01:55:01.600
missing and I'm going to skip head so Culture Club

1386
01:55:02.119 --> 01:55:07.520
cam a comedian Red red Wine ub forty. I remember

1387
01:55:07.560 --> 01:55:12.319
listening to Red red Wine and that was one of

1388
01:55:12.399 --> 01:55:16.800
my favorite songs of that year as well, But I

1389
01:55:16.840 --> 01:55:20.199
don't remember that little rapping bit at the end. You's here,

1390
01:55:20.279 --> 01:55:27.159
that's the ice cream van. It's been like a hurricane

1391
01:55:27.159 --> 01:55:38.720
out there, half a hurricane today. That was very loud. Yeah,

1392
01:55:38.760 --> 01:55:42.800
it's a very loud ice cream van. It's almost like

1393
01:55:42.880 --> 01:55:50.479
it was inside the building. Yeah, Paul Young loved Poor

1394
01:55:50.520 --> 01:55:55.479
Young ub forty. Red Red Wine I was in the

1395
01:55:55.560 --> 01:56:00.439
rolling roller skating rink that we had, and it was

1396
01:56:00.439 --> 01:56:02.479
a size It wasn't it like a size or a

1397
01:56:02.479 --> 01:56:05.000
small garden. It wasn't like a big thing. But it

1398
01:56:05.039 --> 01:56:08.319
was brilliant because there was very very little to do

1399
01:56:08.680 --> 01:56:11.680
where I lived, so I used to go there and

1400
01:56:11.720 --> 01:56:15.000
I remember listening to Red red Wine because they'd played

1401
01:56:15.000 --> 01:56:19.840
songs hit songs from a jukebox or maybe I don't

1402
01:56:19.840 --> 01:56:22.079
know from where, maybe it was from the radio, and

1403
01:56:22.119 --> 01:56:30.239
they play that loud speakers, and I sometimes I'd think

1404
01:56:30.319 --> 01:56:33.680
that I was There was a mixture of characters that

1405
01:56:33.720 --> 01:56:40.840
I'd like to play. One was Inspector Cluso, but then

1406
01:56:40.880 --> 01:56:48.960
there was also mixed in with Frank Spencer, like clumsy,

1407
01:56:49.439 --> 01:56:53.039
accident prone and doing weird things. So I'd end up

1408
01:56:54.159 --> 01:56:56.359
roller skating around the wrong way because there was one

1409
01:56:56.359 --> 01:56:58.880
way to skate, and I'd go round the wrong way

1410
01:56:59.800 --> 01:57:09.159
and be screaming ah and basically only amusing myself. No

1411
01:57:09.159 --> 01:57:12.840
one else found it interesting or humorous. I was just

1412
01:57:13.159 --> 01:57:15.960
but I thought it was brilliant. But unfortunately I used

1413
01:57:16.000 --> 01:57:22.840
to lose control, and yeah, but it was. It was

1414
01:57:22.920 --> 01:57:26.279
fun for me, not for anyone else, but for me.

1415
01:57:28.159 --> 01:57:30.720
And you know what, they did. They got rid of

1416
01:57:31.439 --> 01:57:34.520
I say they the town or whoever got rid of

1417
01:57:34.560 --> 01:57:38.000
the roll of the roller skating disc thing. It was

1418
01:57:38.039 --> 01:57:40.920
like a disco, really, but it was they got rid of.

1419
01:57:40.960 --> 01:57:43.680
It was outside. I think might've had a maybe you

1420
01:57:43.720 --> 01:57:46.159
did have a cover on it. I don't know. They

1421
01:57:46.159 --> 01:57:49.880
got rid of it and they put in like a dustbin.

1422
01:57:51.399 --> 01:57:55.720
They replaced it with some kind of a place for dustbins.

1423
01:58:00.760 --> 01:58:02.520
It really and it was one of the best places

1424
01:58:02.520 --> 01:58:09.920
to go in town for kids. And it was the

1425
01:58:09.920 --> 01:58:14.079
first time I'd ever roller skated, and the roller skates

1426
01:58:14.079 --> 01:58:18.119
were old. Never had anyone anyone that could fit me

1427
01:58:18.199 --> 01:58:21.960
because my feet were extra big. I'd like clown's feet.

1428
01:58:24.680 --> 01:58:29.319
That's why I discovered I was never able to swim

1429
01:58:29.359 --> 01:58:32.680
above water, but underwater I could get from one end

1430
01:58:32.840 --> 01:58:36.720
to the other in like three seconds because of my

1431
01:58:36.760 --> 01:58:40.520
big feet. I just I used to do. The Man

1432
01:58:40.560 --> 01:58:45.279
from Atlantis started swimming, well, I just basically looked like

1433
01:58:45.319 --> 01:58:48.880
an eel, just flapping and I if you ever seen

1434
01:58:48.920 --> 01:58:55.000
men from Atlantis, just google it or YouTube like man

1435
01:58:55.039 --> 01:58:58.239
from Atlantis swimming and you'll see how he swims. That's

1436
01:58:58.239 --> 01:59:04.640
how I used to swim. It was, Yeah, it was

1437
01:59:04.800 --> 01:59:08.920
very I'm surprised I didn't hurt myself, although sometimes I did.

1438
01:59:09.000 --> 01:59:12.560
Used to bang myself on the on the face because

1439
01:59:12.800 --> 01:59:16.159
I could always see when I was getting to the end.

1440
01:59:17.520 --> 01:59:21.239
But I used to do complete lengths underwater, but I

1441
01:59:21.279 --> 01:59:23.920
struggled to do half a length on top of the water.

1442
01:59:27.680 --> 01:59:32.319
Billy Joel Uptown Girl, I remember that the Flying Pickets quite. No,

1443
01:59:32.600 --> 01:59:35.640
I'm not saying I remember Uptown Girl like I forgot

1444
01:59:35.760 --> 01:59:39.479
all about that song. No, I mean I remember, like

1445
01:59:39.560 --> 01:59:43.319
the original when it came out, the Flying Pickets. I

1446
01:59:43.600 --> 01:59:45.880
like this. This was at number one for five weeks,

1447
01:59:46.000 --> 01:59:50.720
and I remember because I think it was number one

1448
01:59:50.760 --> 02:00:00.199
at Christmas. Yeah, it was, And it was basically the

1449
02:00:00.520 --> 02:00:04.159
a cappella. So they all sung together, but there's no music.

1450
02:00:05.399 --> 02:00:09.520
Do do Do Do Do Do? So what was they do

1451
02:00:09.520 --> 02:00:11.199
do do? Do? Do Do Do Do? But and then

1452
02:00:11.279 --> 02:00:15.039
someone else I go ooh ooh. Someone else would be

1453
02:00:15.079 --> 02:00:19.720
singing la la la la la la, and another person

1454
02:00:19.720 --> 02:00:26.079
would go oh oh. And together it sounded ridiculous individually,

1455
02:00:26.319 --> 02:00:30.479
but together it sounded well. It's still just sounded ridiculous

1456
02:00:30.520 --> 02:00:32.840
if it was me singing, but it sounded good with

1457
02:00:32.880 --> 02:00:39.279
them doing it. Paul McCartney Pipes a Piece nineteen eighty four.

1458
02:00:42.840 --> 02:00:48.479
See that doesn't make sense to me, right. All I

1459
02:00:48.479 --> 02:00:52.960
can imagine is Pipes a Piece. It was released at

1460
02:00:53.000 --> 02:00:56.159
Christmas because it was a Christmas song. It was based

1461
02:00:56.520 --> 02:01:00.399
on the football match between the Germans and the English.

1462
02:01:00.960 --> 02:01:03.079
I think it was the Germans in English during the

1463
02:01:03.119 --> 02:01:07.279
First World War and Christmas Day they kind of had

1464
02:01:07.279 --> 02:01:11.000
a truce and played football and showed each other pictures

1465
02:01:11.039 --> 02:01:14.560
of their families. I don't know how realistic that was,

1466
02:01:14.640 --> 02:01:19.279
but and then they went back to their trenches and

1467
02:01:19.359 --> 02:01:23.119
I think someone accidentally had someone else's picture there of

1468
02:01:23.159 --> 02:01:27.399
their wife and fought Wow. I don't know if that's true.

1469
02:01:27.479 --> 02:01:30.960
I added that, and it was a great I really

1470
02:01:31.039 --> 02:01:34.359
liked that song. But it didn't get to number one

1471
02:01:34.439 --> 02:01:40.560
till the fourteenth of January eighty four, so I'm guessing. Yeah,

1472
02:01:40.720 --> 02:01:44.880
I'm guessing it was like number two or something at Christmas.

1473
02:01:46.359 --> 02:01:50.239
Frankie Goes to Hollywood nineteen eighty four. Now my memory

1474
02:01:50.239 --> 02:01:55.800
of this is, first of all, it wasent very very controversial,

1475
02:01:57.720 --> 02:02:06.560
very controversial in my childhood. I would say probably the

1476
02:02:06.600 --> 02:02:15.279
most controversial song during that period that I could remember. Yeah,

1477
02:02:15.359 --> 02:02:18.279
I would say that since January nineteen eighty four, so

1478
02:02:18.359 --> 02:02:23.880
I was thirteen, and what I remember there was one

1479
02:02:23.960 --> 02:02:30.439
particular my STEPMM was singing it because Radio one banned it.

1480
02:02:31.239 --> 02:02:34.680
And as soon as Radio on banned it, it got

1481
02:02:34.720 --> 02:02:37.720
to number one. It was number one for five weeks.

1482
02:02:38.399 --> 02:02:41.720
They wouldn't even they wouldn't play the video on Top

1483
02:02:41.760 --> 02:02:44.239
of the Pops. In fact, I don't think they'd even

1484
02:02:44.279 --> 02:02:50.039
play the song on top of the Pops because that

1485
02:02:50.159 --> 02:02:54.720
was like BBC Radio One with BBC, so I'm not

1486
02:02:54.800 --> 02:02:59.359
quite sure how they worked around it. But I did

1487
02:02:59.399 --> 02:03:05.680
see the video, so I saw it somewhere. I just

1488
02:03:05.760 --> 02:03:13.640
remember seeing my stepm. I'm dancing around singing or holding

1489
02:03:13.640 --> 02:03:15.960
a spatula or something, I really cooking in the kitchen,

1490
02:03:16.239 --> 02:03:19.479
and she was like singing, relaxed, don't do weird on it.

1491
02:03:19.560 --> 02:03:21.880
She was like dancing with a song. Because it was

1492
02:03:21.920 --> 02:03:24.079
a huge hit. I mean, it was the biggest song

1493
02:03:25.039 --> 02:03:29.079
possibly in the Western world at the time. I'm not

1494
02:03:29.079 --> 02:03:32.439
sure how popular it was in the Middle East. I

1495
02:03:32.520 --> 02:03:36.239
don't know, but it definitely Russia. But I don't know

1496
02:03:36.239 --> 02:03:41.279
if it really hit the charts in Russia or in career,

1497
02:03:41.439 --> 02:03:44.960
I don't know, or China. I'm not sure, but in

1498
02:03:45.039 --> 02:03:50.680
ended like the Western sphere. It was a very big song.

1499
02:03:51.680 --> 02:03:58.439
And there's this one bit where she was singing and

1500
02:03:58.479 --> 02:04:03.720
she was dancing and she just stopped just as they said, relaxed,

1501
02:04:03.720 --> 02:04:06.399
don't do it when you want to relax, don't do it,

1502
02:04:07.119 --> 02:04:09.880
and then like when you want to come, and she

1503
02:04:10.119 --> 02:04:14.560
just stopped and stood there as a statue, all right.

1504
02:04:15.600 --> 02:04:17.800
And I was thinking, I wondered, do you know what

1505
02:04:17.840 --> 02:04:21.800
the song's about, Mummy dearest? Do you do you know?

1506
02:04:22.319 --> 02:04:27.039
Because I knew, I kind of knew. Someone told me

1507
02:04:28.920 --> 02:04:32.319
a friend. I read it in a magazine. No, I didn't.

1508
02:04:32.319 --> 02:04:35.359
I didn't know what it was about. I knew what

1509
02:04:35.439 --> 02:04:40.720
the I did, I kind of did. I didn't completely,

1510
02:04:41.279 --> 02:04:45.920
to be honest, I was thirteen years old. I kind

1511
02:04:45.920 --> 02:04:50.760
of knew. But I just remember thinking, I don't think

1512
02:04:50.800 --> 02:04:55.840
she knows what it's the song's about. Ninety nine red Balloons,

1513
02:04:56.159 --> 02:05:00.279
Nina ninety nine. Didn't she do that in different lan? Which?

1514
02:05:00.359 --> 02:05:03.399
Did it in German? Didn't she? Or part of the

1515
02:05:03.439 --> 02:05:08.720
song in German? And or bargain chin compang or porkyin

1516
02:05:08.800 --> 02:05:15.319
honey he Napoon. I don't know. Maybe it was a

1517
02:05:15.319 --> 02:05:19.800
different language that was number one for three weeks. Lana

1518
02:05:19.920 --> 02:05:27.520
Richie Hello, Yeah, that was do you know what? There

1519
02:05:27.600 --> 02:05:32.199
was two songs, and both of them were from nineteen

1520
02:05:32.239 --> 02:05:37.640
eighty four, which men, I don't want to say all men,

1521
02:05:37.720 --> 02:05:45.439
but some males used as in a way to be

1522
02:05:45.800 --> 02:05:55.840
romantic to ladies, some ladies, some men and some ladies.

1523
02:05:57.039 --> 02:06:03.199
And one of those was on a telephone hello is

1524
02:06:03.279 --> 02:06:05.600
with me? Or like you know, when someone answered the

1525
02:06:05.640 --> 02:06:11.840
phone or they call hello. And another one was Stevie Wonder.

1526
02:06:13.359 --> 02:06:14.800
I just called it say I love you.

1527
02:06:16.560 --> 02:06:16.720
You know.

1528
02:06:16.880 --> 02:06:19.479
It's like I can't say cheesy, but I think I

1529
02:06:19.520 --> 02:06:22.079
don't know if it worked. I don't know. I tried

1530
02:06:22.119 --> 02:06:24.439
it in later years, but it didn't work. I tried

1531
02:06:24.479 --> 02:06:28.079
it once at school at the time, like in nineteen

1532
02:06:28.119 --> 02:06:33.760
eighty four, but just got me detention. Apparently I shouldn't

1533
02:06:33.760 --> 02:06:38.840
be talking to the teacher like that inappropriate Lano Richie, Hello,

1534
02:06:39.119 --> 02:06:45.399
Durandre around the reflex, wham wham, wake me up before

1535
02:06:45.399 --> 02:06:50.000
you go go. So I was definitely working at this

1536
02:06:50.039 --> 02:07:03.680
point in the the bakery, in the restaurant play, Yeah,

1537
02:07:03.880 --> 02:07:06.680
I was definitely. So. I was hearing these songs regularly,

1538
02:07:07.279 --> 02:07:15.319
including Relax because they had radio Caroline on which was

1539
02:07:15.640 --> 02:07:19.079
a band station, but anyone could get it. It just

1540
02:07:19.079 --> 02:07:21.119
had to just tune into it. And it was this

1541
02:07:21.359 --> 02:07:25.720
ship docked off of the back in the waters, I think,

1542
02:07:25.800 --> 02:07:29.880
just out of British waters. So it wasn't upbreaking any rules,

1543
02:07:30.880 --> 02:07:35.479
but it was not. It didn't have a license, and

1544
02:07:35.520 --> 02:07:39.720
they'd play all the top hits and then I think

1545
02:07:39.720 --> 02:07:45.840
they became legal and whatever turned into another I don't

1546
02:07:45.840 --> 02:07:49.399
know who. I don't really know the history. Actually i'd

1547
02:07:49.399 --> 02:07:51.119
been making it up, and as you know, I don't

1548
02:07:51.159 --> 02:07:54.000
like to make things up. I'd like to be very factuel.

1549
02:07:56.640 --> 02:08:00.359
See this is my period, nineteen eighty four again, Pipes

1550
02:08:00.399 --> 02:08:07.439
of Peace, Relax, Hello, the reflex flexxx xx Duran Duran.

1551
02:08:08.439 --> 02:08:11.720
So I was definitely working in the bakehouse at this time,

1552
02:08:14.079 --> 02:08:19.359
Saturday and Sunday mornings early and also during the summer

1553
02:08:19.399 --> 02:08:21.560
as well. So nineteen eighty four, during the summer I

1554
02:08:21.640 --> 02:08:33.359
was doing it, and I was also, uh but bum

1555
02:08:33.399 --> 02:08:40.880
bum bum bum bum. Right, I can give you an idea, right,

1556
02:08:42.319 --> 02:08:45.520
So I was doing karate, but I remember one particular

1557
02:08:45.840 --> 02:08:50.800
there's this the only song I remember whilst I was

1558
02:08:50.840 --> 02:08:59.960
doing karate, and I'm going down here is nineteen eighty five,

1559
02:09:00.960 --> 02:09:04.600
There must be an Angel Playing with my Heart and

1560
02:09:04.640 --> 02:09:07.960
that was number one twenty seventh of July nineteen eighty five.

1561
02:09:09.800 --> 02:09:12.079
I don't know how on earth that didn't stay at

1562
02:09:12.119 --> 02:09:20.199
number one forever because it was, in my opinion, one

1563
02:09:20.199 --> 02:09:27.000
of the greatest vocals ever, I mean just ever. It

1564
02:09:27.159 --> 02:09:38.159
was phenomenal. Ana Lynux just had one heck of a voice.

1565
02:09:38.680 --> 02:09:43.119
But I remember, I don't know why, I just remember

1566
02:09:43.199 --> 02:09:49.880
hearing that song during that period of doing karate, and

1567
02:09:52.279 --> 02:09:54.520
that period I wouldn't have seen top of the Pops

1568
02:09:55.039 --> 02:10:01.319
because I was out every Tuesday and Thursday evening apart

1569
02:10:01.359 --> 02:10:05.039
from during the summer actually the summer period, so like

1570
02:10:05.239 --> 02:10:12.800
during July. Yeah, so July, I wouldn't have been doing it,

1571
02:10:15.399 --> 02:10:17.159
but I might have been meeting up with them because

1572
02:10:17.159 --> 02:10:20.479
we used to meet up at the park because the school.

1573
02:10:20.520 --> 02:10:26.920
Once the school was closed, couldn't use the the what's it,

1574
02:10:27.000 --> 02:10:34.560
you know, the hall, the sports hall for however many weeks.

1575
02:10:38.279 --> 02:10:42.560
But I still trained, So I'm going to go back.

1576
02:10:42.680 --> 02:10:49.920
Frankie goes to Hollywood two Tribes again. Loved that so definitely.

1577
02:10:50.239 --> 02:10:58.520
Nineteen eighty four, I was working in the bakery. George

1578
02:10:58.560 --> 02:11:02.439
Michael Careless whisper Stevie Wonder. I just call this say

1579
02:11:02.479 --> 02:11:07.319
I Love You September nineteen eighty four, the eighth of September.

1580
02:11:07.600 --> 02:11:11.880
That was number one for six weeks. Two Tribes was

1581
02:11:11.960 --> 02:11:21.680
number one for nine weeks. Wow. So that's got to

1582
02:11:21.720 --> 02:11:26.079
be one of Steve Wonder's biggest all time hits as

1583
02:11:26.119 --> 02:11:29.399
far as being number one. Did he get to number

1584
02:11:29.439 --> 02:11:33.520
one for longer than that with any other songs? I

1585
02:11:33.560 --> 02:11:40.920
don't know that. Perhaps is the Tuesday trivia. I don't know.

1586
02:11:41.079 --> 02:11:44.239
Maybe this is trivia. Is this trivia? I don't know.

1587
02:11:44.359 --> 02:11:46.960
This is kind of trivia and boredom at the same time,

1588
02:11:47.039 --> 02:11:49.960
isn't it. But I'm just talking about my favorite songs.

1589
02:11:50.119 --> 02:11:55.039
So the Power of Love that is my favorite. Frankie

1590
02:11:55.039 --> 02:11:59.159
Go is the Hollywood song out of all of them.

1591
02:11:59.319 --> 02:12:05.079
The Power of Love. No, it isn't wait a minute,

1592
02:12:05.159 --> 02:12:10.479
there was another one. Oh no, the power of Love.

1593
02:12:11.560 --> 02:12:18.520
It comes from above here in my home. So relax.

1594
02:12:20.640 --> 02:12:24.600
Two Tribes, the Power of Love all got to number

1595
02:12:24.640 --> 02:12:29.479
one in nineteen eighty four. Didn't they do another song

1596
02:12:29.479 --> 02:12:30.640
that I liked?

1597
02:12:34.840 --> 02:12:34.880
It?

1598
02:12:35.000 --> 02:12:42.600
Did another song that I liked? The alay is that

1599
02:12:42.640 --> 02:12:48.520
I've got to go back discography? Oh, Welcome to the

1600
02:12:48.520 --> 02:12:54.960
Pleasure though, Welcome to the Pollutionional. So why is that

1601
02:12:55.079 --> 02:13:00.760
not listed? Then that's what I don't understand. It's not listed.

1602
02:13:03.359 --> 02:13:09.800
Frankie goes to Hollywood, Welcome to the Pleasure Home. Nope,

1603
02:13:09.840 --> 02:13:12.880
it's not It's not listed in nineteen eighty four. So

1604
02:13:13.000 --> 02:13:19.000
this isn't all correct, I would argue. So unless it

1605
02:13:19.079 --> 02:13:23.399
was the B side, perhaps I should have known better.

1606
02:13:23.520 --> 02:13:27.119
Jim Diamond, is that was I should have known better.

1607
02:13:27.800 --> 02:13:30.039
Do Do Do Do Do Do Do Do Do Do,

1608
02:13:31.039 --> 02:13:34.520
which is a wonderful song. And then do they know

1609
02:13:34.560 --> 02:13:40.079
it's Christmas December nineteen eighty four, so it's a Christmas

1610
02:13:40.199 --> 02:13:46.399
number one five weeks it was not number one, So yeah,

1611
02:13:46.520 --> 02:13:49.039
definitely I love that song as well. But I love

1612
02:13:49.079 --> 02:14:04.680
the American one as well, the Christmas but the American

1613
02:14:04.760 --> 02:14:07.279
version I just can't remember what it's called now, But

1614
02:14:07.359 --> 02:14:10.239
I like that as well. I thought they're both great,

1615
02:14:11.119 --> 02:14:14.039
and it's both for the same reason, wasn't it. It's

1616
02:14:14.119 --> 02:14:18.119
just the American one had Michael Jackson and Stevie Wonder

1617
02:14:18.159 --> 02:14:22.960
and the Boss and I don't mean Molly, I mean

1618
02:14:23.359 --> 02:14:36.520
Bruce Spinstein and Tina Turner and Cindy Lauper did Madonna

1619
02:14:38.199 --> 02:14:40.520
do it as well? Because you know what, I see

1620
02:14:40.560 --> 02:14:43.159
the thing. It might be a weird thing to say

1621
02:14:43.199 --> 02:14:48.920
that Cindy Lauper is like Madonna kind of. I'm not

1622
02:14:49.079 --> 02:14:53.520
saying Madonna copied Cyndy Lauper, but Cindy Lauper was kind

1623
02:14:53.520 --> 02:14:57.479
of almost like the original Madonna. But then you could

1624
02:14:57.520 --> 02:15:08.600
say that Blondie Debbie Allen, Debbie Allen, Debbie, you know, Blondie,

1625
02:15:08.960 --> 02:15:14.880
that maybe she was the original Madonna. And I'm not

1626
02:15:14.920 --> 02:15:19.760
saying it's just because they're blonde, but they're not all blonde,

1627
02:15:19.800 --> 02:15:23.399
are they. I mean Debbie Harry, not Alan. Debbie Harry

1628
02:15:23.479 --> 02:15:27.880
was blonde, but she probably wasn't blonde anyway. Sydney Lord

1629
02:15:28.079 --> 02:15:34.039
had all colors of hair. Time Are the Time? I

1630
02:15:34.159 --> 02:15:39.239
love that song so much, and then Madonna. The dog's

1631
02:15:39.279 --> 02:15:44.199
barking again. Hasn't barked hardly any yeah, hardly anything today.

1632
02:15:45.840 --> 02:15:47.560
I'd say it's weird. I looked out the window the

1633
02:15:47.600 --> 02:15:49.680
other day because the dog was just barking and barking

1634
02:15:49.680 --> 02:15:54.119
and barking, and I'm thinking, why doesn't the owner told

1635
02:15:54.119 --> 02:15:57.479
them try and calm the dog down? Because I do

1636
02:15:57.560 --> 02:16:00.920
that when Finny starts barking, try and calm him down

1637
02:16:01.000 --> 02:16:04.039
so that these neighbors are not disturbed. I looked out

1638
02:16:04.079 --> 02:16:08.039
the window, and she's just standing there or he, whoever

1639
02:16:08.079 --> 02:16:12.279
it is, just standing there watching a dog barking like

1640
02:16:12.439 --> 02:16:15.720
really loud for a good ten to fifteen minutes. I

1641
02:16:16.359 --> 02:16:19.520
wasn't watching for ten to fifteen minutes, but it'd been

1642
02:16:19.560 --> 02:16:23.560
barking for that amount of time before I looked, and

1643
02:16:23.600 --> 02:16:28.319
I was just checking to make sure everything was okay.

1644
02:16:28.479 --> 02:16:36.200
I'm thinking, Wow, it's I don't think even if I'd

1645
02:16:36.239 --> 02:16:43.760
got like ten different doctorates in some kind of psychological

1646
02:16:44.360 --> 02:16:51.639
different psychological subjects, I still wouldn't understand humans. Foreigner. I

1647
02:16:51.680 --> 02:16:53.760
want to know what love is. I want you to

1648
02:16:53.799 --> 02:17:00.959
show me a lame page. I know him so well,

1649
02:17:02.000 --> 02:17:05.959
dead or alive. You spin me right round, right round

1650
02:17:06.079 --> 02:17:10.440
round like a record. Mean So Phil Bailey and for

1651
02:17:10.879 --> 02:17:16.040
Easy Lover? I love that song what happened to Phil Bailey?

1652
02:17:16.440 --> 02:17:20.120
Because I would argue Phil Bailey was the best vocals

1653
02:17:20.159 --> 02:17:23.200
on that song. And I haven't Phil Collins fan, but

1654
02:17:23.600 --> 02:17:28.079
Phil Bailey, them two together, they should have done more.

1655
02:17:32.000 --> 02:17:34.200
You may argue against this. You might think, oh, it's

1656
02:17:34.200 --> 02:17:38.399
a silly thing to say, but I'll say anyway, hell

1657
02:17:38.639 --> 02:17:44.600
like yeah, especially on my car. My thing is a

1658
02:17:44.639 --> 02:17:48.959
silly thing to say, but I kind of think that

1659
02:17:49.000 --> 02:17:53.280
they should have done more together as a kind of

1660
02:17:53.280 --> 02:17:57.520
a little double act, you know. I mean, Phil Collins

1661
02:17:57.559 --> 02:17:59.360
had a lot on his plate, didn't. Let's face it

1662
02:18:00.079 --> 02:18:03.000
if that greedy was used to eat a lot. But

1663
02:18:03.159 --> 02:18:06.120
now he had his band, and then he had his own,

1664
02:18:06.440 --> 02:18:11.959
you know, solo career. But the harmonies with him and

1665
02:18:12.000 --> 02:18:19.559
Phil Bailey singing together was just beautiful, and I would

1666
02:18:19.680 --> 02:18:23.559
liked to have seen them do more together. That's just

1667
02:18:23.959 --> 02:18:29.280
my personal opinion. I mean, I realize we're eighty five

1668
02:18:29.520 --> 02:18:34.680
ninety five, two thousand and five, twenty fifteen, twenty twenty five,

1669
02:18:35.040 --> 02:18:40.280
forty years too late, but hey, all we are the world.

1670
02:18:41.120 --> 02:18:45.319
So that was the American version of our one, and

1671
02:18:46.600 --> 02:18:53.280
we are a world, we are the children. I would both,

1672
02:18:54.280 --> 02:18:57.360
I would argue, I wouldn't argue, but I would say

1673
02:18:57.399 --> 02:19:03.280
both equally great song, just ruined a bit by the video.

1674
02:19:04.840 --> 02:19:07.239
I just I don't know, just both of them. I

1675
02:19:07.319 --> 02:19:10.040
just don't like I know that was the cause, that

1676
02:19:10.120 --> 02:19:14.040
was the reason for the music. I know that I've

1677
02:19:14.040 --> 02:19:19.600
always struggled with things like these big charity events where

1678
02:19:20.000 --> 02:19:24.360
they have comedy music, but there's like really funny comedy

1679
02:19:24.399 --> 02:19:28.840
sketch and then I'll go to a really super serious

1680
02:19:29.799 --> 02:19:35.200
subject and I can't. I can't switch myself like that.

1681
02:19:35.200 --> 02:19:37.760
That's why I have to avoid some TV channels, because

1682
02:19:38.840 --> 02:19:43.319
some of these like daytime channels and only something on

1683
02:19:43.360 --> 02:19:47.360
in the evening as well, where they'll show old TV shows,

1684
02:19:47.399 --> 02:19:51.600
old comedies which I quite like watching sometimes, like Whatever

1685
02:19:51.639 --> 02:19:54.760
Happened to the Likely Lads and just shows from like

1686
02:19:55.079 --> 02:19:59.399
decades ago that I just quite like watching. But then

1687
02:19:59.440 --> 02:20:06.799
in the advert it's like Donkey Sanctuaries and eyelid surgery

1688
02:20:06.920 --> 02:20:10.040
and all. It's like I just like, nah, man, I

1689
02:20:10.159 --> 02:20:14.319
just I'm trying to just enjoy myself and just chill out.

1690
02:20:15.479 --> 02:20:24.000
So yeah, I kind of there's yeah, I'm just moaning

1691
02:20:24.040 --> 02:20:29.120
and I Phyllis Nelson moved closer, moved closer. And of

1692
02:20:29.120 --> 02:20:36.600
course Paul Hardcastle nineteen number one for five weeks. I

1693
02:20:36.680 --> 02:20:43.760
mean that that really that was the one heck of

1694
02:20:43.799 --> 02:20:46.680
a video, wasn't it. If you don't remember, it was

1695
02:20:48.559 --> 02:21:03.479
No nineteen nineteen, No nineteen No nineteen nineteen nine, nineteen nineteen, Yeah, wow,

1696
02:21:04.840 --> 02:21:07.760
the crowd You'll never walk alone. Then that's an old

1697
02:21:07.799 --> 02:21:11.479
that's been done so many times, isn't it. My favorite

1698
02:21:11.520 --> 02:21:17.440
version is Elvis Presley walking through Storm Moved your head

1699
02:21:17.959 --> 02:21:26.120
Pie Sister Seledged, Frankie, I love that song. Frankie and

1700
02:21:26.799 --> 02:21:30.399
dressed as cheerleaders, which we don't well, we didn't have

1701
02:21:30.639 --> 02:21:34.479
in this country, So cheerleaders was something that was foreign

1702
02:21:35.280 --> 02:21:43.319
to this country in nineteen eighty five, and they were

1703
02:21:43.360 --> 02:21:45.600
doing I don't know, it's like a triangle, We're all

1704
02:21:45.639 --> 02:21:48.760
standing on each other's heads and stuff, and it was brilliant.

1705
02:21:48.959 --> 02:21:53.120
Loved it and really big fan that song number one

1706
02:21:53.120 --> 02:21:58.200
for four weeks. Then you have mixed They must be

1707
02:21:58.239 --> 02:22:13.719
an Angel, seventh of July nineteen eighty five. Umm but

1708
02:22:13.840 --> 02:22:17.200
boom but boom boom, boom boom. That's one of my

1709
02:22:17.280 --> 02:22:21.799
all time favorite songs. It just is. It will always be.

1710
02:22:22.360 --> 02:22:27.239
But sometimes I forget. I forget that it is because

1711
02:22:29.680 --> 02:22:32.799
although individually I like a lot of the eur of

1712
02:22:32.840 --> 02:22:37.280
mix songs, I never ever once listened to a EU

1713
02:22:37.360 --> 02:22:45.040
of mix album. Madonna Into the Groove nineteen eighty five,

1714
02:22:46.840 --> 02:22:49.959
You Be That was kind of Madonna was starting just

1715
02:22:50.079 --> 02:22:59.840
making a Was that her first song in number one yeah,

1716
02:23:00.000 --> 02:23:01.799
I think it was a number first number one song

1717
02:23:01.840 --> 02:23:06.799
in the UK four weeks and then ub forty Chrissy

1718
02:23:06.920 --> 02:23:12.200
Hyde I Got You Babe. Yeah, like that David Bowie

1719
02:23:12.239 --> 02:23:15.959
and Mick Jagger dancing in the street four weeks at

1720
02:23:16.040 --> 02:23:24.760
number one. I think that it was like a comedy video,

1721
02:23:24.840 --> 02:23:32.440
wasn't it. And seeing David Bowie and Mick Jagger literally dancing,

1722
02:23:36.360 --> 02:23:38.959
it was so funny that people just kept they wanted

1723
02:23:38.959 --> 02:23:45.639
to keep watching it on TV. The video midyeal. If

1724
02:23:45.680 --> 02:23:49.319
I was that was a good song as well. If

1725
02:23:49.440 --> 02:23:56.799
I was that was number one. Jennifer Rushed the Power

1726
02:23:56.799 --> 02:24:07.479
of Love. Wow, huge, huge, huge hit, A great ballad

1727
02:24:08.319 --> 02:24:14.319
wow wow yeah amazing and Fergle Sharky a good heart,

1728
02:24:14.799 --> 02:24:18.520
a good heart to it. Yeah, I like that. I'm

1729
02:24:18.559 --> 02:24:23.360
your man. Wham Whitney Houston Save All My Love for You.

1730
02:24:24.120 --> 02:24:29.840
So that Whitney Houston's first number one hit two weeks

1731
02:24:29.920 --> 02:24:34.879
and it was a fourteenth December eighty five, so I

1732
02:24:35.040 --> 02:24:45.959
was now fifteen. Shaking Stevens Merry Christmas Everyone was the

1733
02:24:46.000 --> 02:25:00.719
twenty eighth of December, so technically technically Saving All My

1734
02:25:00.799 --> 02:25:07.520
Love for You was the Christmas number one, but Shaking

1735
02:25:07.600 --> 02:25:10.399
Stephens I thought that Merry Christmas Everyone was the number

1736
02:25:10.440 --> 02:25:14.120
one song for Christmas, but it says twenty eight for December,

1737
02:25:14.479 --> 02:25:20.399
but then it might be wrong. It would be the

1738
02:25:20.399 --> 02:25:25.120
most played song though at that time, being Christmas and

1739
02:25:25.159 --> 02:25:29.360
all wet. So that was like nineteen eighty five was

1740
02:25:29.399 --> 02:25:34.600
the last full year of living in the big house

1741
02:25:36.079 --> 02:25:41.559
with my family, and then we just had the first

1742
02:25:41.600 --> 02:25:45.600
few months of ninet eighty six. So west End Girls,

1743
02:25:45.639 --> 02:25:51.239
Pet Shop Boys, our hardest sun always shines on TV

1744
02:25:53.239 --> 02:25:56.079
Bill the Ocean We're in the Going gets stuff for

1745
02:25:56.239 --> 02:26:00.959
to get going. Diana Ross still making songs Chain Reaction.

1746
02:26:03.000 --> 02:26:06.040
Wasn't that an old song? It is now, I guess,

1747
02:26:06.079 --> 02:26:12.079
But wasn't Cliff Richard and the ones living doll So

1748
02:26:12.239 --> 02:26:25.079
that was the young ones as in Rick mal Adrian Edmondson, Yeah,

1749
02:26:25.159 --> 02:26:29.040
and the other two God forgets, I forget their names now.

1750
02:26:30.559 --> 02:26:32.600
I never did learn the name of the little one,

1751
02:26:35.799 --> 02:26:41.200
George Michael A different corner Falco Rock Me Amadeus, Wow,

1752
02:26:41.959 --> 02:26:46.639
whether we rock me Amadias a Medeias Amadias and Medeias

1753
02:26:46.639 --> 02:26:50.799
and Medeias and Medias loved that song. Rock Me Amadias

1754
02:26:53.920 --> 02:26:57.799
BlimE me, Papa, don't preach I remember that twelfth of

1755
02:26:57.879 --> 02:27:01.200
July nineteen eighty six. I was living in the flat

1756
02:27:01.639 --> 02:27:07.319
with my step mom's mom, my step mom's step mom,

1757
02:27:07.840 --> 02:27:11.680
my step mom, my step grandmother, and I used to

1758
02:27:11.719 --> 02:27:16.360
watch Papa Don't Preach the video and I loved it.

1759
02:27:16.959 --> 02:27:23.000
Loved that video. Although True Blue, I love that video

1760
02:27:23.200 --> 02:27:27.239
much more. I had it on tape, recorded it and

1761
02:27:27.319 --> 02:27:30.120
I wore the tape out. I loved it that much.

1762
02:27:31.479 --> 02:27:36.040
But as a song, Papa Don't Preach is one of

1763
02:27:36.120 --> 02:27:40.440
my favorite songs Madonna ever did. Just that one off song.

1764
02:27:40.520 --> 02:27:43.200
I loved it, and I loved the album True Blue,

1765
02:27:44.079 --> 02:27:47.200
and that's one of my favorite. My two favorite albums

1766
02:27:47.239 --> 02:27:55.600
of Madonna. True Blue and Like a Prayer. Wow, Christy

1767
02:27:55.680 --> 02:28:07.840
Burgh Lady in Red. So my sixteenth birthday, Okay, when

1768
02:28:07.879 --> 02:28:12.040
I turned sixteen, the number one song was Boris Gardner.

1769
02:28:12.319 --> 02:28:16.239
I want to wake up with you, and I think

1770
02:28:16.280 --> 02:28:21.840
anyone's ever said that to me. I want to wake

1771
02:28:22.040 --> 02:28:26.200
up with you. Anyway, I'm going to bring this to

1772
02:28:26.280 --> 02:28:30.479
an end because noisy people are outside again, so I

1773
02:28:30.520 --> 02:28:33.319
would say thank you for listening. Remember to be kind

1774
02:28:33.360 --> 02:28:36.319
to yourself because you do deserve to be happy and

1775
02:28:36.440 --> 02:28:40.600
be gentle of yourself. He deserves to feel safe, lots

1776
02:28:40.639 --> 02:29:01.399
of love bye, relax in a more deep and meaningful way,

1777
02:29:03.920 --> 02:29:08.920
maybe in a way that can not just allow you

1778
02:29:09.479 --> 02:29:19.440
to feel calmer now and throughout the time we spend

1779
02:29:19.559 --> 02:29:27.479
together here, not just relaxed at the end of the

1780
02:29:27.600 --> 02:29:32.920
recording when it's finished and you can enjoy that sense

1781
02:29:33.079 --> 02:29:49.680
of comfort and peace, but also I think it would

1782
02:29:49.719 --> 02:30:05.559
be nice to have those feelings of vexation continue for

1783
02:30:05.799 --> 02:30:17.600
longer after the recording has ended, so that you can

1784
02:30:19.360 --> 02:30:29.920
still benefit from listening to my voice, maybe in a

1785
02:30:30.040 --> 02:30:42.479
few hours time, perhaps tomorrow, and then by listening regularly,

1786
02:30:45.600 --> 02:30:50.200
especially if you find like some people do and myself

1787
02:30:50.280 --> 02:30:54.799
as well. I sometimes I find one particular recording that

1788
02:30:55.040 --> 02:31:03.639
really resonates with me, and I just listened to it

1789
02:31:03.799 --> 02:31:16.639
over and over again every morning, every evening. There was

1790
02:31:16.719 --> 02:31:22.399
this recording from We're going back to about nineteen ninety nine.

1791
02:31:24.120 --> 02:31:29.639
It wasn't hypnosis, but it was a guided visualizations. It

1792
02:31:29.760 --> 02:31:36.920
kind of was hypnosis, really, and I managed to find

1793
02:31:36.959 --> 02:31:41.000
it again and it still has the same effect on me.

1794
02:31:43.639 --> 02:31:53.360
And part of it was the person's voice relaxed me

1795
02:31:57.399 --> 02:32:04.000
just felt so peaceful, and I'd look forward to listening

1796
02:32:04.600 --> 02:32:16.440
to her in the morning and in the evening, and

1797
02:32:17.000 --> 02:32:26.120
I knew before even pressing the play button that since

1798
02:32:26.200 --> 02:32:30.559
I've done that, pressed the play button. This is in

1799
02:32:30.680 --> 02:32:45.040
the days of CD players, press the play button. If

1800
02:32:45.079 --> 02:32:47.680
that it might have even been a tape tape recorder.

1801
02:32:49.040 --> 02:32:57.360
I'd lie down on the bed and then even without

1802
02:32:57.959 --> 02:33:10.920
necessarily listening to her words because I had to memorized. Really,

1803
02:33:15.600 --> 02:33:21.440
it was as if my body knew exactly what to do,

1804
02:33:26.360 --> 02:33:48.040
and the muscles just almost went into automatic relaxation, and

1805
02:33:48.319 --> 02:34:02.239
I remember my mind would slow down. Now. Now, I

1806
02:34:02.399 --> 02:34:08.559
was listening to this recording in the early days of

1807
02:34:08.719 --> 02:34:19.280
learning hypnosis, and long before I ever made any videos

1808
02:34:19.559 --> 02:34:24.200
or audio recordings myself, because I didn't start doing that

1809
02:34:24.399 --> 02:34:38.760
till two thousand and six, I knew, I knew how

1810
02:34:40.600 --> 02:34:54.360
helpful I found being able to just let go, to

1811
02:34:54.520 --> 02:34:59.639
have that trust in the person that I'm listening to,

1812
02:35:07.399 --> 02:35:14.120
knowing that it's going to be just as relaxing, if

1813
02:35:15.559 --> 02:35:24.879
not more so. Each time you hear my voice, you

1814
02:35:25.000 --> 02:35:36.559
may feel the same. Some people have been listening to

1815
02:35:36.719 --> 02:35:50.520
me for over a decade. Maybe not solidly, obviously, not

1816
02:35:50.639 --> 02:35:56.920
twenty four hours a day, but maybe people come back.

1817
02:35:58.799 --> 02:36:12.399
Some people may be listening every day. That's something that

1818
02:36:12.559 --> 02:36:25.479
I do which you may not realize by listening, is

1819
02:36:29.639 --> 02:36:43.920
when I record these recordings now, for example, I also

1820
02:36:45.479 --> 02:36:56.680
am affected by the words that I say. So if

1821
02:36:56.760 --> 02:37:05.840
I say to you, focus on your feet, notice your

1822
02:37:05.959 --> 02:37:17.840
feet relaxing, I will be focusing on my feet. I

1823
02:37:17.959 --> 02:37:35.719
will be noticing my feet relaxing. If I said, focus

1824
02:37:35.840 --> 02:37:43.680
on your hands, and maybe notice the difference between each hand,

1825
02:37:47.840 --> 02:37:54.719
perhaps notice the air in the room, the temperature of

1826
02:37:54.799 --> 02:38:06.799
the room. On the backs of your hands, you may

1827
02:38:06.959 --> 02:38:11.959
start to notice what almost feels like a very light breeze,

1828
02:38:15.840 --> 02:38:19.879
even though there may not be any type of breeze

1829
02:38:20.159 --> 02:38:32.639
at all where you are right now. And as you

1830
02:38:33.000 --> 02:38:46.639
become aware of your hands, I'm also aware of how

1831
02:38:47.799 --> 02:39:12.200
relaxed my hands are feeling now. And when it comes

1832
02:39:12.440 --> 02:39:19.360
to potentially drifting off to sleep, which may be the

1833
02:39:19.559 --> 02:39:35.399
reason you're listening, I also feel drowsy when I make

1834
02:39:35.520 --> 02:39:56.680
these recordings. I also notice my mind drifting. In fact,

1835
02:39:56.959 --> 02:40:13.639
at times I've actually fallen asleep without even noticing, and

1836
02:40:13.719 --> 02:40:25.040
then I carry on talking. It's only when I listen

1837
02:40:25.200 --> 02:40:34.239
back to do the editing I hear snoring and I

1838
02:40:34.399 --> 02:40:44.159
think I don't remember snoring. I remember talking. It was

1839
02:40:44.399 --> 02:40:51.719
snoring was a pig turned up. That's why I sound

1840
02:40:51.840 --> 02:40:59.680
like when I snare and I get really into the

1841
02:41:01.600 --> 02:41:19.760
whole experience. I don't know how you feel, how relaxed

1842
02:41:19.959 --> 02:41:30.200
you feel in your feet, how relaxed you feel in

1843
02:41:30.360 --> 02:41:57.079
your hands. I have noticed more and more that there

1844
02:41:57.319 --> 02:42:13.920
more relaxed, deeper level of comfort you feel. The easier

1845
02:42:14.600 --> 02:42:33.920
your breathing becomes. It's almost like that additional muscle relaxation.

1846
02:42:38.319 --> 02:42:59.280
So this allows you to breathe easier without necessarily focusing

1847
02:43:01.479 --> 02:43:27.079
on your breath, however, being able to notice the ease

1848
02:43:30.520 --> 02:43:57.079
in which you breathe so naturally, you breathe so very

1849
02:43:57.360 --> 02:44:46.040
easily and smoothly. Whenever I imagine my breathing improving, when

1850
02:44:46.120 --> 02:45:01.399
I've got my eyes closed, I tend to visualize a

1851
02:45:01.520 --> 02:45:18.079
beautiful field with trees and flowers producing all that life

1852
02:45:18.239 --> 02:45:53.799
giving oxygen. It feels nice to, if nothing else, just

1853
02:45:54.280 --> 02:46:28.319
taking some time away from everything, enjoying that feeling of

1854
02:46:32.280 --> 02:47:19.079
peace serenity with a joyful heart. Time seems to just

1855
02:47:20.959 --> 02:48:04.920
drip by so very slowly, relaxed, so deeply peaceful, completely

1856
02:48:10.879 --> 02:48:46.840
unattached to any thoughts whatsoever. In this moment, completely free,

1857
02:49:13.360 --> 02:50:04.680
noticing that your mind has slowed down. Slowed down because

1858
02:50:04.879 --> 02:50:33.440
nothing really requires your attention. You can enjoy the physical

1859
02:50:33.799 --> 02:50:45.440
sensations of allowing the stress to rip out of your body,

1860
02:50:51.920 --> 02:51:15.600
to appear out of every part of your body being

1861
02:51:16.120 --> 02:51:54.760
released from your brain in your mind slowly but surely,

1862
02:52:01.680 --> 02:52:55.760
the muscle thing les relax so very deeply, so deeply.

1863
02:53:13.600 --> 02:53:23.719
And the feelings, the pleasant feelings in your arms and shoulders,

1864
02:53:41.680 --> 02:54:21.319
deepening each part of your body further and deeper and deeper, noticine,

1865
02:54:24.600 --> 02:54:51.360
the feelings in the back of your neck, feelings in

1866
02:54:51.520 --> 02:55:41.000
your wrists, muscles in front of your body. I all say,

1867
02:55:50.840 --> 02:56:30.079
feeling peaceful deeply, there's a sense of peace spreads through

1868
02:56:31.639 --> 02:57:09.399
your fairy core. Even when you focus on your mind,

1869
02:57:21.319 --> 02:58:31.799
your mind becomes beve and slower, even deeper, relax so

1870
02:58:32.440 --> 02:59:32.399
very slow, his stomach PA's fall in your stomach, You're back.

1871
02:59:37.840 --> 03:00:06.680
Notice Notice how relaxed you'd never feel. In the hole

1872
03:00:07.040 --> 03:00:39.840
of your back. Your spy from your brain all the

1873
03:00:39.959 --> 03:00:48.639
way down the middle of your back, sending and receiving

1874
03:00:51.040 --> 03:01:53.520
millions of messages every day, decomfort increasing deeply relaxed uns

1875
03:02:19.559 --> 03:02:33.200
legs spreading those signals down a spine or cord into air,

1876
03:02:33.440 --> 03:02:52.840
every part of your body, your shins and your calf muscles,

1877
03:03:20.079 --> 03:03:49.559
with elbows, feelings of peace and tranquility spreading through your body,

1878
03:03:54.639 --> 03:04:10.879
tips of your toes, to your eyes, your fingers, all

1879
03:04:10.879 --> 03:04:27.239
the way till you lower back. Mhm. The tinker, Rea,

1880
03:04:27.920 --> 03:05:38.120
the tinker, peace drifting mind just wandering away, happy to

1881
03:05:38.440 --> 03:06:42.719
let go, let go completely, let go, so tranquil, the

1882
03:06:42.840 --> 03:09:10.760
whole body enjoying a sensor listinger heph more enjoy the space,

1883
03:09:13.200 --> 03:10:32.040
this space of peace and safety, so very relaxed, yay,

1884
03:11:24.799 --> 03:11:49.479
letting go. Maybe we can just focus on the different

1885
03:11:49.879 --> 03:12:24.680
parts of your body, just to notice you foolhead and

1886
03:12:24.920 --> 03:13:26.520
your eyes. It two so loose, noticing the sense of

1887
03:13:29.520 --> 03:15:35.840
complete freedom, absolute freedom, treda peace, f energy, peace, to breathe,

1888
03:15:39.680 --> 03:16:23.920
so much easier loose.

1889
03:16:45.200 --> 03:16:46.200
You may have.

1890
03:16:49.719 --> 03:17:49.440
Or may not have noticed your mind drifted peaceful, me

1891
03:17:50.079 --> 03:18:09.600
any even more deeply in the direction of total bliss

1892
03:18:09.760 --> 03:20:06.319
for pace, bliss for pace, terrefting to to pace, soup, calm,

1893
03:20:18.040 --> 03:20:46.040
letting go, peace with mind.

1894
03:20:55.360 --> 03:21:29.840
Rex body so relaxed, c relaxed.

1895
03:21:54.360 --> 03:22:21.159
Your body feels almost invisible, so very relaxed. I'm peaceful,

1896
03:22:27.559 --> 03:23:36.360
so peaceful relies like a HM, and you could start

1897
03:23:36.840 --> 03:23:46.319
to notice that you are feeling more relaxed, even though

1898
03:23:46.520 --> 03:23:57.760
I've not purposely focused your mind upon that sense of

1899
03:23:58.159 --> 03:24:03.559
physical comfort that is growing within you throughout your body,

1900
03:24:06.760 --> 03:24:16.399
and your mind starts to slow down, and that could

1901
03:24:16.479 --> 03:24:24.760
be almost in recognition of I guess my speech not

1902
03:24:25.000 --> 03:24:42.040
being particularly fast, and things just generally feel calmer. Just

1903
03:24:42.440 --> 03:24:50.920
by listening to my voice, you give yourself an opportunity

1904
03:24:52.680 --> 03:24:58.360
to take a break from the day, take a break

1905
03:24:58.559 --> 03:25:06.239
from your life as it is, and to give yourself

1906
03:25:06.319 --> 03:25:14.159
a rest, giving yourself permission to take some time off,

1907
03:25:16.479 --> 03:25:21.799
and to allow your body to relax and allow your

1908
03:25:22.000 --> 03:25:32.600
mind to slow down, which in turn releases the tension

1909
03:25:34.040 --> 03:25:42.760
and he stresses that you had in your body. It's

1910
03:25:42.799 --> 03:25:47.360
almost as if the parts of your body just open up,

1911
03:25:48.680 --> 03:25:59.959
allowing the negativity out and at the same time replace

1912
03:26:00.319 --> 03:26:10.479
in that negativity with positive heathing energy, which then fills

1913
03:26:10.559 --> 03:26:19.440
your body up and your mind to also starts to

1914
03:26:21.840 --> 03:26:36.799
appreciate those feelings of increasing confidence, an almost uplifting feeling,

1915
03:26:38.920 --> 03:26:52.920
positive healing, an energy that spreads through your body like

1916
03:26:53.040 --> 03:27:03.319
a wave of comfort, and all this comes and just

1917
03:27:06.879 --> 03:27:15.639
allowing yourself a few minutes, maybe half an hour, however

1918
03:27:15.760 --> 03:27:25.479
long you want it to be, to just rest and

1919
03:27:25.680 --> 03:27:35.639
allow your mind and your body to almost reset itself

1920
03:27:38.559 --> 03:27:54.319
to the settings of comfort and relaxation, calmness, which allows

1921
03:27:54.680 --> 03:28:07.399
more room for feelings of pleasure and happiness to move

1922
03:28:07.920 --> 03:28:16.719
around your body and into your mind, almost as if

1923
03:28:16.799 --> 03:28:26.520
your mind and your body are sinking together, almost mirroring

1924
03:28:27.360 --> 03:28:40.239
each other with that growing positivity and calmness. And it

1925
03:28:40.360 --> 03:28:47.799
feels nice. It really does feel nice to know that

1926
03:28:48.120 --> 03:28:57.239
you are the one that has allowed yourself to feel

1927
03:28:57.760 --> 03:29:12.319
more comfort and to experience more of this deep relaxation

1928
03:29:13.760 --> 03:29:27.879
spreading throughout your body. And as I focus on each

1929
03:29:28.360 --> 03:29:33.959
part of your body, you can notice that that part

1930
03:29:37.959 --> 03:29:47.840
becomes even more relaxed just by focusing on it. It

1931
03:29:50.559 --> 03:30:00.079
becomes even more calm and comfortable just by focus. And

1932
03:30:04.319 --> 03:30:09.840
as I move down your body, starting at your head,

1933
03:30:12.559 --> 03:30:19.239
the parts that you've already focused on will continue to

1934
03:30:19.440 --> 03:30:27.040
relax deeply, and those parts that we've not yet focused

1935
03:30:27.120 --> 03:30:40.440
on or just automatically release any remaining tension in anticipation

1936
03:30:40.879 --> 03:30:53.879
of even more comfort about to come. Now, I'm going

1937
03:30:53.959 --> 03:31:00.879
to start by focusing on your forehead, just being aware

1938
03:31:01.520 --> 03:31:11.600
the feelings of your forehead, and any background sounds like

1939
03:31:11.840 --> 03:31:16.920
mister Herbert the pigeon can just allow you to feel

1940
03:31:17.040 --> 03:31:27.040
even more relaxed. Just means you're in the moment. This

1941
03:31:27.200 --> 03:31:32.319
isn't this isn't a sterile environment. This is the world.

1942
03:31:35.799 --> 03:31:41.840
I live in the countryside, so there's lots of nature

1943
03:31:42.360 --> 03:31:52.840
sounds around. So as you focus on your forehead, just

1944
03:31:53.120 --> 03:32:00.879
notice how it becomes even more relaxed as you focus

1945
03:32:03.200 --> 03:32:07.680
only on my voice and that part of your body.

1946
03:32:12.879 --> 03:32:21.159
Moving down to your eyes, focusing on your eyes, noticing

1947
03:32:23.639 --> 03:32:33.319
how your eyelids feel so heavy yet so light at

1948
03:32:33.360 --> 03:32:39.799
the same time, and all the muscles around your eyes

1949
03:32:40.079 --> 03:32:54.479
relaxing completely. Moving your focus down to your mouth, your lips,

1950
03:32:54.959 --> 03:33:01.600
your tongue, your teeth, and your gumbs, the whole of

1951
03:33:01.760 --> 03:33:16.559
your mouth relaxing, calm and loose. As you focus now

1952
03:33:17.360 --> 03:33:24.239
on your jaw, not just the parts of your jaw

1953
03:33:24.399 --> 03:33:28.760
near your mouth and your chin, but all the way

1954
03:33:28.879 --> 03:33:35.280
up the size of your face to your ears, the

1955
03:33:35.520 --> 03:34:03.520
hole of your jaw, feeding more relaxed, calm. Focusing on

1956
03:34:03.719 --> 03:34:09.120
your neck, the front of your neck and your throat,

1957
03:34:11.360 --> 03:34:22.079
relaxing and loose and calm, the sides of your neck,

1958
03:34:24.159 --> 03:34:31.079
the right and left side of your neck relax and

1959
03:34:32.639 --> 03:34:46.280
loose and calm, and now the back of your neck,

1960
03:34:49.559 --> 03:34:59.559
focusing on the back of your neck, letting go of

1961
03:34:59.719 --> 03:35:06.680
any tension that may have been there before, and enjoying

1962
03:35:07.040 --> 03:35:19.920
that sense of increasing comfort and release that you can

1963
03:35:20.079 --> 03:35:31.200
experience in the back of your neck. Moving down your

1964
03:35:31.319 --> 03:35:38.639
back and moving either side of your spine right from

1965
03:35:38.719 --> 03:35:44.079
the top of your back all the way down to

1966
03:35:44.159 --> 03:35:56.399
the bottom of your back down to your lower back.

1967
03:36:01.520 --> 03:36:08.520
And as you move up and down your spine, you

1968
03:36:08.639 --> 03:36:15.760
can feel the muscles either side of your spine relaxing

1969
03:36:16.440 --> 03:36:29.840
even more. And as those muscles relax, that sense of

1970
03:36:30.120 --> 03:36:40.760
comfort starts to spread outwards from your spine into both

1971
03:36:40.959 --> 03:36:48.000
sides of your back, the top of your back, the

1972
03:36:48.239 --> 03:36:56.559
middle and your lower back. And as you scan gently

1973
03:36:57.120 --> 03:37:04.440
and slowly up and down your back, there's the muscles

1974
03:37:04.639 --> 03:37:09.719
in the top of your back relax and become looser.

1975
03:37:14.079 --> 03:37:20.079
The muscles in the middle of your back also seem

1976
03:37:20.200 --> 03:37:29.719
to just almost divide from each other, separating and almost melting,

1977
03:37:35.479 --> 03:37:41.479
and in your lower back it seems to be an

1978
03:37:41.520 --> 03:37:55.719
extra special feeling of comfort. The spreads into your hips,

1979
03:37:58.000 --> 03:38:05.840
so down your lower back to your hips into the

1980
03:38:06.040 --> 03:38:14.799
area where your cocksicks are, and into your buttocks and

1981
03:38:14.879 --> 03:38:24.079
all those muscles that spread when your lower back into

1982
03:38:24.159 --> 03:38:37.639
your hip area start to melt, start to really let go,

1983
03:38:44.159 --> 03:38:49.159
I don't even know where about. To focus on your shoulders.

1984
03:38:50.920 --> 03:38:57.920
Your back and your spine will continue to let go,

1985
03:39:01.000 --> 03:39:16.600
continue to relax so calmly. And if you focus on

1986
03:39:16.760 --> 03:39:29.680
your shoulders, you may notice that they're already feeding really loose,

1987
03:39:34.479 --> 03:40:00.440
they're already feeding calm, and they're feeding those muscles. Then

1988
03:40:00.639 --> 03:40:13.040
move from your neck into your shoulders. Feel so soft

1989
03:40:16.319 --> 03:40:41.879
and gentle, so smooth and calm, and the feeling in

1990
03:40:42.000 --> 03:40:56.799
your shoulders seens to spread deep into your shoulders, that

1991
03:40:57.120 --> 03:41:06.000
sense of relaxation, not just traveling deeply into your muscles,

1992
03:41:09.479 --> 03:41:22.360
but also relaxing the bones and moving all the way

1993
03:41:22.600 --> 03:41:31.319
to underneath your arms, relaxing that whole area between the

1994
03:41:31.479 --> 03:41:40.760
tops of your shoulders and underneath your arms. He Then.

1995
03:41:45.959 --> 03:41:46.639
You feel so.

1996
03:41:48.600 --> 03:42:02.600
Relaxed and comfortable in your shoulders, which sends that's deep

1997
03:42:03.479 --> 03:42:24.319
healing message into your arms, and you may feel almost

1998
03:42:24.440 --> 03:42:29.239
as if your arms are not even there because they're

1999
03:42:29.760 --> 03:43:12.680
so relaxed, so deeply relaxed, so so calm, so poose,

2000
03:43:20.079 --> 03:43:31.239
not feeling spreading all the way down your arms, two elbows,

2001
03:43:35.000 --> 03:44:03.040
including your elbows circumforts spreads or away into wrisk there

2002
03:44:03.079 --> 03:44:18.319
are forearments and your wrists so heavy, yet at the

2003
03:44:18.680 --> 03:45:06.000
same time so light and gentle. Focusing now on your hands,

2004
03:45:27.719 --> 03:46:00.319
my hands, so peaceful in your hands, the sense hm

2005
03:46:03.000 --> 03:46:25.399
real peace. It just seems to I feel so familiar

2006
03:46:28.879 --> 03:47:01.000
in your hands. Relax deeply, m eyes. The thing is

2007
03:47:33.159 --> 03:48:38.040
a thing is sadless you think you tips moving your

2008
03:48:38.120 --> 03:49:07.520
attention to the front, to your body, so comfortable, move

2009
03:49:07.680 --> 03:50:35.079
on your focus your legs, let muscles in your thighs,

2010
03:50:51.840 --> 03:51:29.879
your knees so relaxed, a calf musselves and just shains.

2011
03:51:32.959 --> 03:53:34.760
A puzzy four feathing.

2012
03:53:35.959 --> 03:54:34.479
Your feet, Sir, peaceful, so calm, so peaceful, sircom so peaceful,

2013
03:54:38.159 --> 03:54:46.600
sycom so peace for.

2014
03:54:55.520 --> 03:55:20.200
Rain, peace fall, so calm, allowing that deep relaxation.

2015
03:55:20.760 --> 03:55:38.120
To spread your chest, in your stomach, so letting go

2016
03:55:40.239 --> 03:55:59.159
of everything. So I'm gonna start counting down now, from

2017
03:55:59.239 --> 03:56:07.879
twenty down to one. You can imagine in a way

2018
03:56:08.000 --> 03:56:14.040
it's like just walking down some steps and each step

2019
03:56:14.440 --> 03:56:20.639
or twenty steps, and each step represents a level of comfort.

2020
03:56:24.120 --> 03:56:39.520
Each step represents a deepening of that comfort and the

2021
03:56:39.719 --> 03:56:45.799
furvies you walk down those steps, the deeper and more

2022
03:56:45.879 --> 03:58:02.840
relaxed you feel. So starting with number twenty twenty, nineteen, eighteen,

2023
03:58:40.760 --> 04:03:35.159
seventeen sixteen three four four see too well.

2024
04:04:34.079 --> 04:05:45.399
F eight.

2025
04:06:50.479 --> 04:10:00.399
Nine eight seven A.

2026
04:10:01.959 --> 04:11:46.600
Six five.

2027
04:12:03.079 --> 04:17:40.319
Five four one. And now as you focus on your eyes,

2028
04:17:49.920 --> 04:18:00.319
we're gonna count down from ten douts one. Focus sin

2029
04:18:01.520 --> 04:18:09.799
just on your eyes, your eyelids, the muscles around your eyes,

2030
04:18:12.879 --> 04:18:21.520
your eye walls themselves, a whole area that makes up

2031
04:18:21.639 --> 04:18:37.639
your eye. And as we count down from ten down

2032
04:18:37.760 --> 04:18:50.719
to one, whilst focus in on your eyes, you'll become

2033
04:18:52.799 --> 04:19:04.879
twice is relaxed with each number count down, and you

2034
04:19:05.079 --> 04:19:12.600
may find the all you want to do is just

2035
04:19:14.639 --> 04:19:21.799
drift off to sleep. And if that's what you want,

2036
04:19:24.840 --> 04:19:37.440
then just allow yourself to do that. Now, focus in.

2037
04:19:37.760 --> 04:19:38.520
On your eyes.

2038
04:19:40.639 --> 04:19:46.040
I'm going to begin counting down from ten down to

2039
04:19:46.239 --> 04:25:10.280
one right now, nine eight seven h h five four.

2040
04:26:23.360 --> 04:27:43.159
Three two.

2041
04:28:57.559 --> 04:29:18.799
One. So counting down from ten to one ten nine

2042
04:29:20.520 --> 04:29:48.200
eight seven six five four three two one. And maybe

2043
04:29:48.360 --> 04:29:51.280
that was a bit too quick in order to relax.

2044
04:29:52.479 --> 04:29:56.719
Maybe it's a bit too fast for you to notice

2045
04:29:57.000 --> 04:30:05.040
the calming of your body. Maybe even a little bit

2046
04:30:05.120 --> 04:30:08.719
of pressure there, Like you'll count it down from ten

2047
04:30:08.840 --> 04:30:09.200
to one.

2048
04:30:09.319 --> 04:30:10.719
What do you expect me to do?

2049
04:30:11.040 --> 04:30:16.000
Man, expect me to stick gold floppy just because.

2050
04:30:15.680 --> 04:30:25.280
You're counting down. If you try it again, but this time,

2051
04:30:25.399 --> 04:30:26.680
I go this lower.

2052
04:30:28.639 --> 04:30:33.479
This time, as you focus on the whole of your

2053
04:30:33.559 --> 04:30:41.879
body before we focus on your legs, Just notice how

2054
04:30:42.000 --> 04:30:56.079
your body does start to feel more relaxed with every

2055
04:30:56.239 --> 04:31:48.719
number that I count down ten nine, eight, seven, six, five, four,

2056
04:31:56.159 --> 04:32:47.600
three two one. I just notice how how you feel, generally,

2057
04:32:48.040 --> 04:33:02.360
how your body feels. It's not necessarily even about counting

2058
04:33:02.479 --> 04:33:09.599
down from ten to one. It's that space that you have,

2059
04:33:10.959 --> 04:33:29.400
that space between being active physically or mentally to just

2060
04:33:34.119 --> 04:33:39.319
sitting or lying down, just being there, not doing anything,

2061
04:33:39.520 --> 04:33:46.119
not saying anything, not deeding to think about anything. So

2062
04:33:46.840 --> 04:33:49.840
it opens up a space, you know, a bit of

2063
04:33:49.919 --> 04:34:00.880
a space, the gap. And the more I camped down

2064
04:34:00.959 --> 04:34:08.319
from ten to one, the bigger that gap becomes. So

2065
04:34:08.439 --> 04:34:20.840
there's that gap of calmness, of comfort, relaxation. It's a

2066
04:34:21.000 --> 04:34:35.040
nice feeling, and it moves those stresses or discomforts physically

2067
04:34:35.200 --> 04:34:54.200
or emotionally, moves them away. Allows you to just slow down.

2068
04:34:57.840 --> 04:35:00.759
Someone to count again from ten down to one. And

2069
04:35:00.959 --> 04:35:10.919
notice that gap widening, the gap, And as it widens,

2070
04:35:11.000 --> 04:35:17.360
it's almost like the stress and attention falls into the gap.

2071
04:35:30.799 --> 04:35:34.959
It gives you that distance, that space.

2072
04:35:37.360 --> 04:35:42.799
Now ten.

2073
04:35:47.159 --> 04:36:38.599
Nine, eight, seven, six, five, four.

2074
04:36:56.639 --> 04:37:13.639
Three two.

2075
04:37:31.919 --> 04:37:32.119
One.

2076
04:37:43.639 --> 04:38:04.080
And how did your body feel? No, can you notice that?

2077
04:38:05.119 --> 04:38:41.799
Do you feeling calmer? Do you feeling more relaxed? As

2078
04:38:41.840 --> 04:39:02.159
we now focus on your legs, just your legs. You're

2079
04:39:02.240 --> 04:39:22.119
just going to start with focusing on your thighs. Of course,

2080
04:39:22.240 --> 04:39:27.119
it's not the most exciting thing to be doing, because

2081
04:39:30.560 --> 04:39:33.439
I'm sure like most of your body is not not

2082
04:39:33.599 --> 04:39:45.919
going on right now. Just focusing on the whole of

2083
04:39:46.000 --> 04:39:52.479
your thighs, the tops of your thighs, the sides of

2084
04:39:52.560 --> 04:39:56.599
your fighs, the bottoms.

2085
04:39:56.119 --> 04:39:56.840
Of your thighs.

2086
04:39:58.319 --> 04:40:03.479
You're outer thighs, and you're in the thighs basically the

2087
04:40:03.599 --> 04:40:11.159
hole of your thigh that leads into your hip and

2088
04:40:11.319 --> 04:40:16.479
it goes down to your knee joints.

2089
04:40:21.639 --> 04:40:22.919
Now, this is a big area.

2090
04:40:27.439 --> 04:40:32.360
It's a very heavy area. It's very strong, probably the

2091
04:40:32.479 --> 04:40:47.159
strongest muscles in your body or in your thighs. But

2092
04:40:47.240 --> 04:40:48.000
I don't think we.

2093
04:40:49.799 --> 04:40:53.759
Perhaps will give enough attention.

2094
04:40:54.799 --> 04:40:55.959
To our thighs.

2095
04:41:01.599 --> 04:41:09.360
Perhaps we don't acknowledge how important our thighs are.

2096
04:41:12.319 --> 04:41:29.080
To our lives, how much they actually do for us

2097
04:41:33.000 --> 04:41:43.200
all through our lives. It may seem sound.

2098
04:41:43.119 --> 04:41:43.880
Really weird, but.

2099
04:41:46.759 --> 04:41:52.880
I think that all of our body parts, especially our eyes,

2100
04:41:53.880 --> 04:42:01.200
needs some TLC, a bit of love shown, a bit

2101
04:42:01.279 --> 04:42:20.520
of acknowledgement, thank you, gratitude for what advice do for us.

2102
04:42:27.080 --> 04:42:32.680
And I know this may sound a bit strange. Maybe

2103
04:42:32.720 --> 04:42:35.560
you think, why am I surely how I should be

2104
04:42:35.560 --> 04:42:44.680
able in the garden hugging a tree or something. It's

2105
04:42:44.759 --> 04:42:48.000
hard to set a microphone up on a tree. That's

2106
04:42:48.040 --> 04:42:50.520
why I'm doing this indoors. Otherwise I would be outside

2107
04:42:50.599 --> 04:42:54.400
hugging a tree. I can't see the television from the tree.

2108
04:43:01.080 --> 04:43:05.360
If you move down to your knees gain such an

2109
04:43:05.439 --> 04:43:15.119
important part. And I think we don't necessarily I'll speak

2110
04:43:15.200 --> 04:43:16.000
for myself here.

2111
04:43:18.520 --> 04:43:23.599
I don't necessarily appreciate all that my needs do for

2112
04:43:23.720 --> 04:43:30.200
me until I have a problem with my knee. Occasionally,

2113
04:43:30.279 --> 04:43:30.520
if I.

2114
04:43:32.240 --> 04:43:36.200
Maybe i'll pash it or it's aching for some reason.

2115
04:43:37.919 --> 04:43:40.599
It's then that I realize.

2116
04:43:41.200 --> 04:43:42.319
How much it does.

2117
04:43:43.959 --> 04:43:47.200
You know, the benefit of being able to use my

2118
04:43:47.479 --> 04:43:54.799
legs without any kind of physical discomfort.

2119
04:43:55.680 --> 04:43:57.599
Is a beautiful thing.

2120
04:43:58.919 --> 04:44:05.279
That's possibly not appreciated until it's temporarily removed.

2121
04:44:06.400 --> 04:44:07.799
You know that's comfort.

2122
04:44:11.919 --> 04:44:13.119
But as you focus on your.

2123
04:44:13.080 --> 04:44:21.000
Knees, regardless of how your knees feel, you can have

2124
04:44:21.159 --> 04:44:24.840
that sense of gratitude.

2125
04:44:25.599 --> 04:44:28.200
And love to your needs for all that they do

2126
04:44:28.439 --> 04:44:42.200
for you. You can still have that attention on your thighs.

2127
04:44:43.000 --> 04:44:49.720
Maybe notice how your thighs feel, Maybe noticed that they

2128
04:44:50.639 --> 04:45:08.400
are relaxing more deeply as you focus now on the

2129
04:45:08.479 --> 04:45:12.919
bottoms of your legs, your shins, and your calf muscles,

2130
04:45:13.439 --> 04:45:19.040
the bones between your knees and your feet.

2131
04:45:20.360 --> 04:45:23.040
Incorporate, and of course your ankles.

2132
04:45:24.880 --> 04:45:35.959
So important. Anyone that's had even like the slightest sprain

2133
04:45:36.119 --> 04:45:43.040
of an ankle knows how how much we take our

2134
04:45:43.279 --> 04:45:44.479
ankles for granted.

2135
04:45:50.400 --> 04:45:52.400
And it's kind of strange in a way when you

2136
04:45:52.479 --> 04:45:52.840
think that.

2137
04:45:55.400 --> 04:45:59.360
You know, logically, our wrists are a lot thinner than

2138
04:45:59.479 --> 04:46:03.560
the rest of their arms, which is okay, it doesn't

2139
04:46:04.119 --> 04:46:07.200
I can't see any problem with that because we're.

2140
04:46:07.119 --> 04:46:08.279
Just picking stuff up.

2141
04:46:09.759 --> 04:46:15.360
By our ankles so much thinner than the rest of

2142
04:46:15.400 --> 04:46:26.279
our legs. And from a physics perspective or logical even

2143
04:46:26.360 --> 04:46:27.319
it doesn't really.

2144
04:46:27.159 --> 04:46:30.439
Make sense that all this weight.

2145
04:46:31.880 --> 04:46:38.840
Would ultimately be resting on your ankles then leading to

2146
04:46:38.919 --> 04:46:39.360
your feet.

2147
04:46:43.959 --> 04:46:47.599
That thin area, thin bone.

2148
04:46:51.400 --> 04:46:52.400
Yeah, it does so.

2149
04:46:52.599 --> 04:46:57.680
Much great work. Supports us, supports.

2150
04:46:57.240 --> 04:47:08.840
Our body for a lifetime, helps us to balance, It

2151
04:47:08.959 --> 04:47:21.880
helps you to get around and be mobile. And there's

2152
04:47:21.919 --> 04:47:22.799
the calf muscles.

2153
04:47:22.840 --> 04:47:30.479
Of course, when I was younger, I couldn't see the

2154
04:47:30.560 --> 04:47:35.639
point in calf muscles. Didn't seem to do anything. Okay,

2155
04:47:36.720 --> 04:47:40.279
if I walked around on tiptoes, then my calf muscles

2156
04:47:40.319 --> 04:47:40.919
get some work.

2157
04:47:42.319 --> 04:47:43.639
But of course that's not true.

2158
04:47:43.799 --> 04:47:47.400
The calf muscles are being used whenever.

2159
04:47:47.119 --> 04:47:48.680
We use our legs.

2160
04:47:53.959 --> 04:47:55.279
And your shins.

2161
04:47:58.119 --> 04:48:07.119
There to protect your lower legs shaped in a way

2162
04:48:08.959 --> 04:48:20.720
at most is a protector with the bone leading of

2163
04:48:20.840 --> 04:48:31.279
course to your ankles. In your feet, I'm not going

2164
04:48:31.360 --> 04:48:33.520
to focus on your feet. We're just going to focus

2165
04:48:33.599 --> 04:48:39.759
on the legs. And I realize, and now that I've

2166
04:48:39.880 --> 04:48:44.000
mentioned your feet, it could be focus sitting on them anyway,

2167
04:48:44.520 --> 04:48:46.279
So maybe I should focus.

2168
04:48:46.000 --> 04:48:47.080
On your feet a little bit.

2169
04:48:51.119 --> 04:48:55.520
You can have them in your awareness the same as

2170
04:48:55.639 --> 04:48:58.560
you have your thighs in your awareness.

2171
04:48:59.439 --> 04:49:00.680
Even though we haven't been.

2172
04:49:00.720 --> 04:49:06.200
Focusing on your thighs for a few minutes and you're

2173
04:49:06.240 --> 04:49:20.680
focusing on your ankles, there's still that sensation of comfort

2174
04:49:23.400 --> 04:49:35.319
in your thighs, and there's that movement of energy because

2175
04:49:35.400 --> 04:49:42.360
the figs hold lots of different sensations. Of course, there's

2176
04:49:42.400 --> 04:49:47.119
the muscles, the big strong muscles that we have in

2177
04:49:47.240 --> 04:50:00.439
our thighs. But the skin on the outside side of

2178
04:50:00.520 --> 04:50:05.799
the thighs, as in the outside of all of our body,

2179
04:50:06.479 --> 04:50:17.319
it can be very sensitive, sensitive to the touch, sensitive

2180
04:50:17.439 --> 04:50:31.799
to temperature. And inside your thighs the bones, there's the muscle,

2181
04:50:32.080 --> 04:50:37.119
there's the blood, vessels, the art trees, all this stuff

2182
04:50:37.240 --> 04:50:45.319
that's inside your thighs. I guess sometimes.

2183
04:50:45.599 --> 04:50:47.560
It'd be nice if you could actually put.

2184
04:50:47.400 --> 04:50:54.959
Your fingers inside your thighs and message, so you can

2185
04:50:55.040 --> 04:50:58.279
message on the outside, because but to.

2186
04:50:58.319 --> 04:51:01.439
Be able to get deep into the mud source, to

2187
04:51:01.520 --> 04:51:02.040
be able to just.

2188
04:51:02.319 --> 04:51:08.880
Massage inside your thighs, message in the bones of your leg,

2189
04:51:11.080 --> 04:51:11.759
massage in.

2190
04:51:14.319 --> 04:51:25.200
All the veins and just gently healing FIBs, and if

2191
04:51:25.200 --> 04:51:26.479
you move it down.

2192
04:51:28.240 --> 04:51:33.279
Message and inside your knees, just message in those bones,

2193
04:51:34.279 --> 04:51:39.720
but with the healing fingertips spreading that healing.

2194
04:51:39.560 --> 04:51:50.080
Energy deep into the choice of your knees. Of course,

2195
04:51:50.159 --> 04:51:50.479
there's the.

2196
04:51:50.599 --> 04:51:56.040
Back of your your need and the inside crease where

2197
04:51:56.080 --> 04:51:57.279
your need is.

2198
04:51:58.959 --> 04:52:04.680
There's this sense the area really that's very nice when

2199
04:52:04.720 --> 04:52:05.520
you're stroking.

2200
04:52:06.919 --> 04:52:10.279
That might be because it's an area that's not really

2201
04:52:10.479 --> 04:52:11.520
touched very often.

2202
04:52:13.599 --> 04:52:17.919
It's almost like a hidden part a crease.

2203
04:52:19.880 --> 04:52:20.439
Your legs.

2204
04:52:20.560 --> 04:52:21.560
It's almost.

2205
04:52:23.279 --> 04:52:24.240
It's like a part that.

2206
04:52:26.000 --> 04:52:37.479
Has a sensitivity, which a little bit different because it's

2207
04:52:37.560 --> 04:52:48.759
protected by your legs. So you can imagine putting the

2208
04:52:48.959 --> 04:52:52.479
fingers into that crease on your legs.

2209
04:52:58.000 --> 04:53:01.959
Folding between your legs, you can just message.

2210
04:53:01.560 --> 04:53:05.560
With your fingertips, your fingertips.

2211
04:53:05.080 --> 04:53:10.560
Going inside, massage in the muscle tissue.

2212
04:53:10.599 --> 04:53:18.799
You can of course the other bones of.

2213
04:53:18.880 --> 04:53:30.759
Your knees, heathing through your fingertips, and then as you

2214
04:53:30.880 --> 04:53:31.680
go down.

2215
04:53:34.279 --> 04:53:36.000
To card muscles, and.

2216
04:53:36.080 --> 04:53:38.759
That's the part I'd like to be able to really

2217
04:53:39.639 --> 04:53:43.400
put my fingertips deep inside my card.

2218
04:53:43.240 --> 04:53:47.360
Muscles, massage in every.

2219
04:53:48.479 --> 04:54:01.200
Single tissue of that muscle, heathing every part. And I'm

2220
04:54:01.319 --> 04:54:03.520
doing the same for my chins.

2221
04:54:06.080 --> 04:54:13.119
A massagy and gently stroking the bones, generally stroking them,

2222
04:54:14.040 --> 04:54:18.759
hewing their loving way, because he deserves to be treated

2223
04:54:21.840 --> 04:54:23.680
as the precious bones.

2224
04:54:23.360 --> 04:54:23.840
That they are.

2225
04:54:25.439 --> 04:54:28.680
Our legs are so precious as in all the other

2226
04:54:28.840 --> 04:54:30.200
parts of our body.

2227
04:54:32.479 --> 04:54:34.919
And more precious of anyture.

2228
04:54:36.880 --> 04:54:37.599
On the planet.

2229
04:54:46.040 --> 04:54:47.200
When you start to.

2230
04:54:48.720 --> 04:55:01.520
Think about the legs in this way, can change perspective.

2231
04:55:04.240 --> 04:55:05.279
It might sound be.

2232
04:55:08.520 --> 04:55:13.880
It's silly to start with the idea of having love

2233
04:55:14.520 --> 04:55:24.200
your licks, showing appreciation your eyes, wanting to be able

2234
04:55:24.200 --> 04:55:32.119
to your hands in your eyes, the message the muscles

2235
04:55:33.040 --> 04:55:39.400
and thes. You get your fingers deep in there Rea

2236
04:55:39.560 --> 04:55:45.159
see gold, just to show.

2237
04:55:46.840 --> 04:55:54.520
How much you care, how les, how much you care

2238
04:55:54.840 --> 04:55:57.520
for what your lex deep.

2239
04:56:02.200 --> 04:56:11.680
The means to comes your ankles. The strength of your

2240
04:56:11.799 --> 04:56:19.240
ankles consideringly down in their compared.

2241
04:56:19.439 --> 04:56:27.360
To the rest of you made special winds such strong,

2242
04:56:28.919 --> 04:56:47.159
self flexable, that stremely amazing fly because of you.

2243
04:56:58.759 --> 04:57:02.919
Mm hmm, I don't ben with a cap scol
