Look mad oh, I see you? Why why and look over there? How is that culture? Yes? Goodness, let d don let's culture joining us in process? Is Boster? Yes, he's back. Um, this is the final day of ourisode. Spectacular kind of under the clock here. But I think I think if I can leave in you guys can finish out the list if you need to. I think we can do this in an hour. Well unless okay, so we're going to finish out the hour, so altogether, but I don't want to see okay, but I don't

want it to feel rush. See if if something, if something needs to be discussed, we'll discuss. Remember remember, remember, remember what Doug said at the top of the episode. He said, the flow can dictate the field. And we've really been feeling. We've been flowing and feeling so so with that spirit. Number someoneed to call My Lover has Hector mc wal radio mix, Janet Jackson an amazing song, an amazing remix to an amazing song, The Bridge, mym I looking for a guy. Guy, Let's let's move on.

You get someone to common love again, Baby Comma, I'm a fan. Jenne Numb Heartbreak Hotel Hector Radio Mix, The hot Break tell I mean, yeah, talk about setting atmosphere. I love to know where I am in a song she's introduced, and she's kind of like, is how many Whitney? How many times has Whitney been on the list of our well number two nine seven was I will Always

love you? All these She no, I don't need to I don't need to know anything else she's been on the last Just maybe it wasn't as maybe I will Always Love You didn't have the global cultural impact of saying perfect by Hoku Christian Home. Yeah, I think that like perfect day, perfect day, Why would you ever want to check into a Heartbreak hotel? You're checking in there, you have to go. It's when like it's like being quarantined for COVID, it's when a pipe burst in your

apartment and you have to live somewhere. But I don't think any of these ladies had a choice about where they checked in. I think they could afford and room at the Heartbreak Hotel, and that's just where they were staying for maybe I don't know, a few days, hopefully not longer than a week. Girl, they're flying into Korea, and when it's when it's Pete COVID and they you have to stay in this hotel to days. They put

tape on the doors. They put tape on the doors, don't even give you a key card to get in and out of the building. Our choir teacher taped the doors when we would travel out of ye that was a popular thing that you just would do to keep kids locked up. Chase. It's so funny that taping the doors. So if the tape was broken, you know, the kid was a whore, you couldn't just put the tape back on the But you can't. You can't, like there's no like, you can't, like right right right, there is no way

to do that, is there. I figured it out. You could. You could sneak out of the room, press the tape back on, but you would not be able to go back into the room until after everyone had woken up and the tape had been taken off. I think what you gotta do is like if you open the door of the tape breaks, just like take the piece. Take take So now with the tape is and two, you take off one of them and just put the side that's less broken. I don't even think the tape would break.

I think there's a way to open the door without the tape breaking. I get what you're saying, though, there's no way to close the door again and get it to tape. Yeah, it would depend on what the tape was made out of a different cop but now literally, like imagine having Uber in high school like you like it's over, forget, I'm not staying there. No re turned to you radio mix Melanie see thank you for bringing up the song because people don't talk about Melanie sees Bop.

I turned to you enough like a flower leading to the sun. I didn't know that was Melanie Melanie see Spice Girls Zone Melanie Saw in a gate club today. Absolutely because you're the only one I put this in for you. You You did, and because I wanted a run of hex Hector. I know it number ninety six. Nobody's supposed to be here is the hex Hector dance makes. I mean what thunder plus is to uh Whitney, It's

not right, but it's okay. Hex Hector is to nobody's supposed to be here and made it the song that we know and love. And Deborah Cox was truly that singer. No no buddy, no no, no, no, no, just imagine being in the booth and being like, I think I have an idea what I want to do? I think no, no, no, no, no no no no no no. That's the most insane song. Number Destiny's Child. Thank you Candy Burst for writing this

one huge major paid for the Old Lady Gang. The house this is this is her mother' but the Old Lady Gang is the restaurant series of restaurants, and that was built by and no scrubs. Money probably yeah, absolutely so much money, so much money. I mean, she is probably one of the most honestly rich, not inherited, not inherited, and also not like a house of cards about to tumble over with you know, the Feds come knocking. And also she gets ever fired deside Sleevehousewives, the woman is

absolutely fine. Something happened to me recently where I felt really bad for gen Shaw. Recently, I was like, damn, she might just lose. There is something about the way she's carrying on on social media where it's like, do you I don't know if she understands. It's like how could she not? But also how could she behave like this? Yeah? Um anyway, number not speaking of all gen Shaw's bullshit. Number ninety four is do do you got a first aid kit? Handy? I thought this was Pussycat Dolls until

just this moment. That's okay, you know, that's Danity Kane. And Raiser and p Diddy would be so disappointed. Do you remember when we were at Barracuda in New York and those girls were trying to interrupt the drag show and I said, those bitches look like they were in Danity Kane. And they were, in fact in Dannity Kane. It was Aubrey and it was a day. I looked at the girls and I said, they looked like a

member and it was Aubrey O Day. And then I don't actually know if the other one was in Danity Kane, but she looked like she could have. Well, there's a specific aesthetic that comes to mind when you say that bitch looks like she's a member of Danity Kane, which

is like a little too much. I make up sort of a road hard, put away, wet, like the highlights, the very specific blonde chance even like a little bit of low light happening, like that sort of thing that girls were really into where it was really dark underneath. Remember when girls would just die the bottom of their hair, like back behind their neck and like that's giving danity Kane and also obviously like like a tube top at

a game, bar Man. I can't tell if I missed that or if I well, it's gonna come back, it's gonna come back. Yeah, I don't know what's back. Nineties fashion is back, and so two thousand's fashion is register on the corner um. And speaking of the year, two thousand and ten, number ninety three is Lose my Breath Destiny's Child. The drums at the beginning of the song were a moment in cultural history. Absolutely absolutely it was giving marching band, but make it pop. Weren't you so happy?

Like this was after Beyonce's dangerous scene Love, but she'd gone back to Destiny's Child. I was like thrilled, and I bet they were thrilled. Destiny f Phil is actually my favorite Destiny Love Girl Love if Love. She knew that that was it when she named that up, when they named it, and she said, and make sure we close the yeah, And then there was on their cover of that song emotion emotions that was not on Destiny Fulfilled. But that's one of my farente zunds of theirs. I

think it might be like a bonus track. I may be wrong. M Let's get to the it's not on Destiny Fulfilled. Let's get to ninety two super Basic. It's the genesis. It is the genesis of YouTube, the genesis. It was not what made us meet and become friends, but it is what made us see each other because that because before then it was oh, there's Matt Rodgers. I heard, I heard you're really funny. I like, good luck on your audition. When bone Yang bullied me my

Dangerou Box audition happened, it did, it did vividly. I remember that we've been through this um, but I think we were friends. But then when super Base popped off, that's when everyone started telling us that we had to start performing at all the parties together, Like, oh, mate, put them together and put on a song they both

know and we can just watch them. It was the beginning of like us being a show for our straight that nowadays, if we're Velma and Rocks, yeah, making a foul week at least oh yeah, yeah, number ninety one million dollar bill. So you're saying this is better than I will always love you, as well. I mean, we don't. This was not up to us that we didn't. This is was God created it was, it was we're merely conduits. I don't even know this song. He think you feel

like a million dollars. Bill say oh, say it left right down? Just spin around and around say it. Oh, say it, come on, I do. It's in my muscle memory. I didn't even know I knew it. What I also love about this song is like a random errant, like just someone coming in and just I just pictured her coming into Rome and just going be like it's the same thing and trum me loved by Robin s. It's so good when someone just sings a vowel. We need that more, not more than ever. The girls are are

too scared to vocalize. They want to whisper. I totally agree with, well, then you know what. You know who I respect lately Billie Eirelish just exploring her belt. Yeah she really is, and it should be her because she's the one who's getting all these girls to fucking mumble and now they're following her lead. Yes exactly, Yeah, they truly are. Also, Olivia Rodrigo opens up, Yes, I just maybe this is why people have an appetite for American Night.

Al again, maybe this is a stretch, but you want to see someone with like vocal powers, Like there's nothing I miss more than late nineties ballads being popular. There's nothing I miss more than like you know, like fucking my heart will go on being number one. Well, then, babe, you need to be watching American I know that's where those songs. Trust me, I am. I'm When you come over tonight, I'll show you. I'll show you some highlights. Yeah,

just show me some highlights. Alright, So number ninety, who needs it? It's the laziest rap in history, very bad in I just feel like it's it's it's a perfect pop song that doesn't need anything additional. It is like it's so is that? Why does that happen? Why? Why do people feel they need to put features on sometimes like unless it's like another like female, I really am not that interested in It's Mariah invented it, that's true, Like get a wrapper, get around. I mean, the Heartbreaker

verse is amazing. The fantasy with older crossover now too. Yeah, that's the thing is that that you it does open up your audience, that mark and the streams go up, mama, Yeah, and then you get played on different storms of radio as well. Back You know who could use a feature is okay? Well, first got to an all for you, Janet Jackson. A song that we were singing in like the fourth fifth, sixth grade going got a nice package all right, because I'm gonna have to write it tonight.

Do we know what we were singing? I think we did. And also yeah, it is insane. I don't think we spiritually knew how to ride the package, but we knew what we were saying. I didn't know it meant fucking riding on a dicky Yeah, Janet sort of when she turned that sexual corner, never turned back, no matter even if the song sounded like it shouldn't be like that. Did you watch that New York Times documentary, like the corner was turned on like on rhythmate Like, did she

turned the corner early on? Yeah? Not even not even rhythmation it control control, yeah, control nasty, yeah, Janet, true, that's culture. Hans Hans. Hans got us to talk about Michael Jackson earlier that we've like deliberately avoided talking about it, but we've always talked about JA. Yeah, We're sure to um. Okay eight, Now this is Joel kim Is saying that this needs a feature of rap feature. Who do you have a rapper in mind? Bratt bring to Bratt back.

I think the Brat is attainable. Brat is a sticky option. Yeah yeah, yah, yeah yeah yeah is it? It? Would it be weird if I mean no? Because I guess it wouldn't be weird to bring this song back because it is like ten years old, like there is another life cycle to put it through. I think that this song could be huge again because confident and cool. You know you hold the key. That's always going to be relevant.

That idea absolutely chic. Also iconically, Kelly ben Simone and Jill's erin in the video for this not knowing what to the fun to do with their hands or face. They never do like there's a there's a there's a moment in the video where where Lou is like singing and looking at Kelly and Jill, and Jill is just looking back at Lu like like I'm here and I'm listening. So funny. Okay, number seven PhiC my senior song. This

came out in this photograph. We really wanted it the cool kids at my high school wanted it to be forever young off of the this was my graduation song. We wanted it to be forever young. We were outvoted. Photograph photograph, and it's so it's so on the nose. It is like it's like vitamin C graduation level on the nose. It was on the list. Um, I will say that, Um, I do. I do like how it ends with every time I do it makes me laugh and then he just ends, I haven't heard this in

a while, you know, talk about this. There aren't that many men on this list, and I will can we can we say that you put this song on the list. Yeah, Um, well it wasn't up to me. With God, God make God creative. I don't know for the questions, I stand by it. Seven you cover Jessica Simpsons song. It's a really good Jessica will feel about that. I don't think

she's ever gonna know. You don't think she listens. I don't think she's I think she took a peek at how that artist's name is spelled and said, not my business. Not my business, is not your fight. This is not for me. This is tire fight Jessica, you mama, you got a billion dollar hair extension empire. You do not know how to pronounce this name. Let's table the cover.

Let him enjoy it. Yeah, number eighty five. This is this artist like this has been all over this, all over this list, glamorous huge who who just sampled this song to Jack Harlow? Yes, Yes, and it's a really good it's really good it, Oh my god, and it's really clever. He's like, uh, flying in the g I got it out some of the A like like getting up with the A and like it's clever. It's not just like like, oh, let me just throw on a

Fergie song. He just like he works around it. Yeah, he used it like the art that it is, used it to increase his art, and that is a ploy for the gays and the girls. She's like, they fucking love this. She can have us. I think he can have us. Well, he I think him working with Littlens, he does have us. He has us. He's had he's had us. You know, you know, I'm totally fine with it. He's he seems lovely. Yeah. I think he's a nice, good nice boy. We need we need that. Has he

been to SNL. Have you met him? Yeah? When my host did, he was yeah, last time. Number four, Nothing in this World Harris Hulton. We got to sing this song with Paris, so it was we were were I tried back when Paris had her first documentary out, the American Meme American Meme, and she came in and we got to sing nothing in this World with her, And I'm sure she thought that we were going to mention stars are blind, which did not make the list, but we are Nothing in this World stands though I do

love stars are blind. Stars are Blind is like a little too like sleepy or like then nothing in this world You're It's it's like a it's a power ballad, not a power ballad necessarily, but like you feel like it lifts off. It lifts off. Also I love that, like there's the bridge like she like there's any other singer like like it would be like an opt up, like do this thing, do not and do this thing to not so good good for her? Did Laana before Laana say that? Number eighty three Show Me Love, Robin,

Show Me Love, Show my Life? Did you were you guys into Robin from the very beginning from this song, and I will say we went to Robin Knight at the Eco Plex, uh last week, a week ago tonight. My boyfriend did not know. Well, he's a little younger. He is a little younger, and that is his defense. But I still say I was young, you were young. You're only I think you're only three years older than my boyfriend. Maybe sure, so why are you forming cognitive memories? Okay, yeah,

so this song. We were five when this came out. Really remember, yes, we were really young, so he would be one this song is I guess that's unfair of me. This is like like Robin is essentially like Paula Abdul to him, but this song is like there's something. I'm sure there are people like in UM Sweden who like predate her, but like this song feels like quintessential Swedish pop and if everything else comes from that, Max Martin

comes from that. You know that UM hit may maybe one more time with originally supposed to be Robin song and she turned it down and then turned it down to ye huge inc that songs around. But okay, in my defense, though, like people know the song imagine I was I know the song imagined by John Lennon and I wasn't alive when that song came out, and yet I remember it, so why doesn't he know? Show Me Love by Robin comparing the cultural impact is probably what

we're going to run into trouble there. I think. I think show Me Love by Robin is as big a song as imagined by John Lennon. I remember being a little fag five year old and having like having that's insane. It's just simply so simply not. I think that Imagine didn't do what it set out to do. Imagine was like, We're going to change the world. The song did nothing.

Show Me Love accomplished the sure show Me Love did I would say have a bigger impact on pop music than Serious because this showed Me Love into like the Math Martin, into the rest of pop. That's huge. Imagine. It's just like a song that any of the Beatles could have sung, whether together or separate. Yoko was on it,

Who who cares Yoko was on it? It's I completely stand by that number eighty two Show Me Love Robin and S. Isn't it insane that there's two loves Robbin's Like, thank God Robin S. It's a Shricken of the Egg heart Breaks promises more than I'm also going to say it. I stand by the song being eighty two and the other Robin song being eighty three. I think this is the superior Robin Um, which means that all the songs from now on are better than Imagine, which didn't make

the list. I it brings us to Some people say, look at me dad, that's what That's what she says, right, Um, you know some people say it look like my dad. You guys know your face was very funny. When you guys are laughing at me like I'm crazy, pull it

up now unless you can prove it. Um. This was like height Radio Disney played between huge Major speaking of um cartoonish number eighty that don't impress me much, queen, who could forget the iconic image of her in the desert hitchhiking and that glamorous like I guess like three piece like cougar material, leopard material and okay, so you got a car. The one thing that bothers me about the song is the heightening, isn't right? Yeah, it's like

she starts with Brad Pitt. Brad Pitt is second, So she says Okay, so so you're a rocket science it gets rocket scientist Brad Pitt, So you got a car. It's like, if I'm a rocket scientist, that's super impressive. I will even give Brad Pitt being a heightened on rocket scientist. I think is Brad Pitt, like, especially at the time, very special guy. There's many different rocket scientists,

there's only one Brad Pitt. So that's a heightened Can we talk to the really quickly a roll of the dice culturally to reference an actor and then to really have him be relevant still today, like it could have been any but she could have said that. She could have said, so you're Timothy Olfant, okay, so you're Stephen Dorf. That don't impress me. In fact, I would say Brad

Pitt sort of has the last laugh here. Yeah yeah, yeah, he's like, yeah, you thought I was just a piece of meat for your song, I'm an Oscar Oscar winner okay. And then at the very end the last chorus, your Tarzan Captain Kirk, maybe John Wayne whatever. That don't impres much. That's whatever. She loses the whole threat. You're so right about the height it's a d heightened but also that

don't impress them me much. It is just such a cultural lexicon moment that it is number eighty and a better song than I would always like, Sorry, what did you say? It's car rocket Scientists, Brad Pick Because that's okay, so you're a rocket scientist. Okay, so you're Brad Pitt. Okay, so you got a car. I think that's the way it goes. Can we double tay? You know? I checked it's Rocket Scientists, Brad Pitt. Car's car should not be last.

It should be car rocket Scientists, Brad Pitt. And then also then you can save like your fun cultural reference for the end of the song. Totally, that could be that, certainly totally and she's earned it by the end. To do Captain Kirk, What a bad writer? Expensive Erica Jane, Yeah, better than I will always love you, clear clear. I

don't think we're even debating it. It's expensive to be me, followed by number seventy eight only Hope Mandy Moore, one of I think the most important songs in her career. I would say, yeah, number seventy seven. I think I'm in I'm in love with you Jessica Simpson. This was a John Cougar Mellen Camp sample that really kicked us.

I love Jack and Diane. I think I think I love I think I'm in love with you, but more absolutely and I My favorite thing about this song is that she goes very tell you every time you hear that, like like that like we're like insane interval and she does They're like, okay, Lanna, It's it's insane. The visual like the readers are sing out on the visual of you as you sing it when down in equally insane.

You know, the readers really miss out on our visuals all the time, which is twice to which I say, get well soon and give us a TV show now. Number Madonna incredible song, number I Don't want to Wait, I mean huge, huge, This is it takes You Back? Number seventy four Government Hooker. This is one of Lady Guga's highest charting songs in the Great Global Songbook for good reason. Do you remember where you were when you heard the lyrics put your hands on Me? John F. Kennedy,

do you remember where you were? I was with because she played this song at the Muglar fashion show where she walked before the album came out, before anyone heard this track and then she threw in that little lyric and then me and Concorde Posse were together. We were like, oh my god, this fucking girl. That's what I said, ladyga, this fucking girl, and that's like iconically what this girl is crazy? Like I love this girl, this girl, this

girl is crazy. I love this girl. This girl. You don't like the same age Number seventy three, Sierra, this really was the beginning of what we called crunkin be remember crunk. Good luck booking that spot on this list do you speak of? Honestly, there's no Oh my god, oh my god, Sierra had the last last Sierra did have the Unfortunately it's a koh. Sira has emerged victorious over read over billionaire Rihanna. You know what I'd say to re read Then start making more music, bitch, and

then maybe you can get on the list. And there is a huge party that being are throwing for every artist on the list, and you're not invited. Really good looking booking our party, speaking party, we speaking speak of number seventy two, he said, she said, Ashley Tisdale, this is like one of those like he said, she said, it's a disgusting song. But it's bad, it's it's perfectly good. It's bad so good. Speaking of number seventy one, star Starships sing well they were meant to fly, singing singing

meant to fly. Honestly, that's second half of um. The Pink Friday Roman Reloaded is some of my favorite Nikki, like all her songs that she was doing. I loved that era, Pound the Alarm, Pound the Alarm. This is representative song, go to the beach each let's get away, right, Let's go to the beach and for giving us that Starships makes the list. Yes, number seventy Your Love is My drug. People talk about TikTok, but this is the song.

This is the song, This is the song on a song like she's mapping it so perfectly on like drug youth like it's it's perfect. And also the bridge, I don't care what people say, the rush on the price sid day, I get so hot. It's really good. Remember when Papula covered it and it was like a great cover. Were you at that show? We did a live show and Papula covered it and I think we kind of killed it. It's like an acappella cover, right, No, no, no, well, no,

we had the band, but the bill that was fun. Okay, number sixty nine, who do you think you are? Spice girls? Tys Underland favorite for good reason. It really is when

you were on Molly at a club. Sorry, it really really really better, nothing better kind of right on me beginning think about my neck my back, like ka, I mean, look at this point it's very scandal us something we can all agree and whenever you sort of bring up my neck my back, it's sort of a thing of like, yes, we all now are like familiar enough with the joke. But the fact is, like if you listen to the song, it's beautiful, beautiful song, so beautiful, and you don't and

honestly you don't. You don't have a whop without this coming first. No, but you know what else? I want to look like your toes was also this era. It was filthy. It was a filthy era. It was a filthy I mean this is I mean I remember listening to I Want to Let Ye from your head to your toes and really wanting to get off book on the versus you could do it the doge You don't huge, I will say, I can't believe anyone was shocked by what when we had this song, Yeah, we're people shocked.

I guess people were scandalized by scandalized. Um, what's his face? Marjorie Taylor Green, Yeah, what's his face? And then Madison Cawthorne with with his best friend his best boyfriend's hand on his penis like all enraged to whop more like, yeah you're gay? Number sixties seven. Every time we touched, I couldn't remember the weird words. Every time we touched again,

what was that? I couldn't remember the words? I remember the weird or something that happens when Joel, you know, starts to like trip on a word and he kind of loses control for a second and then all he can do is just smile through it and just like delighted it just happened. It just happened to him. I want to I want to look for him, because it's hard and he hasn't he hasn't warmed up. As Elizabeth Swado's theater teacher used to say, bite those consonants, kids,

bite them all right, Um speaking up? Number sixty numbers actually one of the best songs ever. Stand by this. Sure, yes, there's no one's debating you have a really nastcsion. I'm thinking about it, and there's no discussion. Remember the dance break in the video, she goes she looked nervous the whole time. Well, this was when she was like publicly embracing, like being like a fucking mess. Yeah. Yeah, she was like, I want to say, respectfully, I would love you to

take the cameras off me. I relate to this song. Tired of rumors start, tired of rumors starting a league and lost culture. I think it's Doug. Doug is the league? Is he reading a book? My fuck? Not engineering anyway? Number sixty get out of my way? Absolutely, I think the best Kylie song. Yeah, absolutely, it makes me feel powerful. Oh yeah, now I've got a taste. I want to explore and going to waste not anymore. The video is incredible,

amazing video. Ain't going anyway, not anymore. And I'm about to let you see this is what will happen if you don't give your if you ain't giving your girl. It's a threat. It's a threat. I'm about to let you see it's a threat. It's about to be yet. No, we're not gonna say that's gonna come out coming Number sixty four Kim Petris. This isn't probably the newest song on the list, but the second we heard it, we knew that it was in the Great Global Song Book.

Treat Me like a Slut. I'm a dirty bitch. I love to fuck. It's it's so perfect. Another like, again, would we have the song if not for yet? Exactly? Treat me like a slut, dirty bitch, I love to fuck. And from very adult to sort of childlike adult contemporary yes, Number sixty three. Big Girls Don't my first? Really really, I know I'm speaking of personal. It's actually called Big Girls Don't Cry and in parentheses personal, Oh my god? Really? What does it means? A lot? It means I remember

the video very well. Milo in the videos like really establishing himself pre this is us post heroes and post heroes, a big transition for him into music video artists. UM, and for me, it just reminds me that I shouldn't cry. Don't cry. And what I think of when I think of this song is um a child missing their blanket. When whenever I think of that, I think, well, thank you for that evocative image, because now I understand what you're going through, because I get a child miss in

their blanket. I really get that I didn't have one. You didn't have a blanket, you didn't have any toys. I just it just it that that passive fire and that just lined that line never worked on me. And I'm sorry to both of you that never resonated. And I have issue with it being the being up this

thigh on the list. Let's move on. Oh my God, when Jesus say yes, Michelle Williams, and of course the end of that sentences when Jesus say yes, nobody say she's right, and again sort of like imagine being asked to be in the song, how could you say no? Because the title in itself is a threat. When Jesus say yes, nobody can say no. And by the way, you just did say yes. I talked to him. So, Kelly, you're going to be in town, right? How do you

know when Jesus say yes? I think, well, Jesus said yes to this whole list, so I think you just know Michelle Beyonce Kelly, No, that is not it. Do you think I'm the Kelly? I think I'm the Michelle. It's so stupid, and it's willfully it's it's it's willful. I'm not I'm the Michelle. I think we're all Kelly the most religious. Yeah exactly. I actually I embrace my role as Kelly Rowlands. I really do. She's she's cool

as ship, she's funny, she's real. I'm beyonceing that. I'm like just a little I'm a little dead inside, and I just don't I can't really do interviews anymore because I'm just tired. That's how I'm And you're the richest and most famous and then but tired, but tired. But it's tired. It's serving tired artists. It's serving like, oh see, this is it. Kelly Roland has bops like lay it on me, motivation like so good and also not for nothing. But Kelly Rowland as cool as you want to because

she got to say faggot and Freddy versus Jason. She got to say faggot and Freddie versus Jason. She got a text on Microsoft e cell on a phone in them what is a dilemma. Yeah, she can host any X Factor she wants. She's such a good judge on their shows. She's fabulous. She did the British version one time and it was like she she like really was good.

Number sixty. Speaking of British X Factor contestants, Sweet Melody, Little Mix, in fact, Kelly Rowland what she which meant her a little Minit she did not to Lisa meantor a Little Mix And Kelly Roland had the female artist that year. And I remember Kelly Roland being super hard on Little Mix because she was like, I think you guys are really good and can be really good in your harmonies aren't right, and you guys aren't necessarily jelling yet.

But I'm only going to be hard because you know that I know what it's like to be in the best girl group. But I think that you guys could could get up there. And then Little Mix was didn't there, but well internationally you could argue that they were pretty huge, but America it never did happen. It's sort of like Foreskin say that sort of No, I don't know what I'm number fifty nine. What is it? Are you still Beyonce entired? Righty? Big MoMA thing? Little Kim got it

going on? What what? I'm really surprised to not have you put on how many licks on this? How many? I'm I'm more of a how many licks? Was it on this album? Was it? Uh? I think that was on Notorious. There's there's stick whatever, there's so, there's so, there's so much Kim I just this is my personal favorite Kim sung okay perfect, That's all mine is how many licks? But I respect and I know that God put this on. Remember after Paying Friday came out and

she came out with Black Friday. Just basically it's it was a dis track on Nicki Minaj. I think that the little Kim Nicki Minaj fight broke Nicki Minaj. I think that's why. Something about that going down and makes her unable to like actually support she thinks she is, though she thinks she's being supportive of the new Girls. Yeah. And also I'm not even I don't even know specifics

and can't really gauge, like, but I'm sure it affected her. Yeah, I think it did, because I'm sure I'm sure Kim was affected by There's like there there's a Ryan Murphy feud in that. Well, I actually would love to see that maybe not maybe maybe maybe someone else. No, No, it should be it should be Ryan Shonda should be past feud and she should do it. Yes, don't cry for me, Argentina, various, Avida's amazing, Andrew Loyd Webber crid fabulous, Madonna is a movie killer, is killer, movie killer. I

never heard these seven boss ums. I'm not to hate really a lesson being taught to kids everywhere in the beginning that song, you don't have to like me, but you will respect me. You know why, because because I'm a boss. And then the d d down from the video just like limp Risks hanging police for President, True number fifty six, can't take my eyes off of you, Denise Denise Richards and dropped it gorgeous, holds up much better than I thought it would. We watched in the

last year or so. I also recently, Yeah, we watched. Yeah, we watched it, and you know there are expected to be I was horrified by parts, but I was horrified by less parts than I thought. Well, Matt Malloy, who plays the judge who's like a pedophile, is on. I love that for you. And Greta and I were at the premier of the night and like, we went over to him because I haven't met at him, but I don't share scenes with him. But I was like, we're such huge fans of dropped the Gorgeous and he was like,

you know what's crazy. It's like I get approached about that movie like all the time, all the time, and I'm like, yeah, because it's like true, true, I think a bigger cult classic than it even gets credit. I think gets called a cult classic. But it's a classic. People people really love it. You want to know what it is? Like I was reading about it and it was like someone made a really good point, which was all those teen movies at the time, none of them

had like dark humor. So that was the only like teen movie about high school that had like an abject like after there was a long period. No, I think the lineage is Heather's Jawbreaker Gorgeous. Yeah, yeah, yeah, that would make sense. But like in terms of like at that time, it was like a lot of like I think Bringing On came around right around aroughout that time,

and like, you know, She's all that and everything. Like in terms of nineties, like The Freaks and like Theater kids didn't really have a movie that was like, you know, like super appealing to them because that movie was not Yes, it was about winning a pageant, but it wasn't about like being the most popular girl in school, or like getting pretty, or like getting Freddie Prince Junior to date you. You know, it was like about like power struggle and

like it was about women. The really there is not really a large male presence, Like he's dispensed with pretty early in the movie. Yeah, exactly, love interest. Yeah, he gets shot off Lauren Hill. You can't really mention Denise Richards and then be disrespectful to Lauren Hell. So I'm happy we did that too, and and and Lauren, we love you. I'm really happy you put this next one

on here before past that Dutch Miss Elliott. This unfortunately came on while I was on Molly at the club and I looked out at the crowd and the only thing I could think was Mean Girls is maybe the perfect movie. Yeah, because this song, this song comes on when Regina George gets introduced, like the music supervisor on that movie, I think Neil did. And there's something so like, there's something I don't know. That movie is really really evil,

takes a human form in Regina George. Oh don't let the Yeah, she may look like your typical scum sucking road horror, just that. Yeah, it's basic but I do love that movie. Yeah, impossible from Brandy Cinderella, Whitney Houston's that happening? Never the fact that this movie's title might as well now be Brandy Cinderella. Yeah, but also like that iconic backstage footage why are you what are you doing down there? What are you doing down there? Are

you down there? When Brandy literally sing why are you down there? Number fifty two? You don't know me? The First Wives Club? You know you've ever seen I mean, you've never seen that film, You've never seen any of You've never seen it. And I put it in. But isn't that played in gay bars a video bar staple? Yes, you know what, it's actually not as good as a

movie as people want it to be, remember it. Yeah, yeah, Yeah, it's one of those It's like it's actually quite long, and like it looks like it should be so much more fun than it is. It looks like it should be like Zani and Lacking in the three of them like all doing stuff together, and like it's most it's not sad, it's just kind of like it doesn't really move. I don't know, but we're happy it exists. He wasn't

mad enough Tony Braxton. This this is actually in terms of we listened to it in Vegas, like Patrick, Jared and I were listening to it in Vegas. In terms of riffing over a final chorus, it is unparalleled. Her choices over the last chorus are who coo bananas? Like really going forward, like I'm forgetting like what exactly it is.

But like when you listen to it, it's one of those songs that was like on the radio enough when we were like that age where you remember it all it's like muscle memory, and but you were able to study it the closer would you do? You did a closer read on it. I just like was hearing it and I was like, how did this woman get in the booth? And was like yeah, sure, and then like she just picked these insane things. It's sort of like Deborah Cox. No, it's just like there's so much going on.

I think that's providing like a good like mental model for people, like imagine the person in the booth and that should that that should like tell you everything. Well, it's actually real culture number nine. Let me say it first. If you're hearing a song it was recorded in the booth, it's real. Number nine. If you're hearing a song, it was recorded in the booth. Number one thing, one thing. This is a great song. It's an absolute It was in the Worst Person in the World and it real

sounded like a new song. I was like, wait is this and then it plays like, oh, put your records on Karen Bailey, Ray hit him Up Style, Oops, Blue cant Joel. If you ever have anything to say, jump in. There is Brianna, There is Rihanna. Rianna, you are invited to our party, breaking dishes, Rihanna iconic.

I'll play it insane? It's and she doesn't even do the original melody For the other language. She does the original melody, but there's there are too many words, you need a new one. I can be your girlfriend. And then she does like there's too many care, there's many syllables, so that they couldn't do the original melody. Did it pay off? Was it a huge international head? No? No, I like that. The one version you left off of the countdown was the German version? Was the German version? Well,
