Transcript

00:00:13.000 Live from New York, it's Get Off My Lawn with Gavin McGuinness.
00:00:20.000 Can I go away?
00:00:23.000 You have to be at least one pound to get a day.
00:00:33.000 Put it on the line, and I feel fine.
00:00:37.000 Maybe you're my super thyme.
00:00:40.000 Put it on the line, and I feel fine.
00:00:44.000 Maybe you're my super time.
00:00:47.000 Put it on the line, and I feel fine.
00:00:51.000 Oh.
00:01:01.000 You haven't been looking for love, I know.
00:01:06.000 You know, that was Bunsden Super Time.
00:01:14.000 Really cool video where there's a serious car accident and they jump in and start dancing with the victims who don't want them to.
00:01:28.000 Kind of like that crazy horror movie with the two guys dressed in the tennis gear.
00:01:35.000 I think it was Swedish.
00:01:37.000 Funny games.
00:01:38.000 Funny games.
00:01:39.000 Oh, Mino Laiki.
00:01:42.000 That's like that dude who did the sacrifice movie, you know, the one with the disturbing shit.
00:01:48.000 He's American, though.
00:01:50.000 You know the one?
00:01:51.000 Mid Somer?
00:01:52.000 Oh, yes, yes, yes.
00:01:54.000 He's in our racism intro, right?
00:01:57.000 Where the son's raping the father.
00:01:59.000 Oh, yeah.
00:02:00.000 Yeah, European whites, they do, their movies are too scary.
00:02:04.000 I don't like that.
00:02:06.000 At least American horror has an element of humor.
00:02:09.000 But European horror, it's too advanced for my liking.
00:02:15.000 Look at them enjoy the blood.
00:02:18.000 They're weird, those Europeans.
00:02:20.000 They've been around for too long.
00:02:22.000 I like new countries, like Canada and America.
00:02:26.000 And we have great leaders, too, like Joe Biden, who didn't fall.
00:02:31.000 He careened into the ground.
00:02:35.000 We'll be covering that with my pet Biden.
00:02:40.000 So that song really sticks in your head.
00:02:42.000 The chorus does.
00:02:44.000 And it got me thinking about repetition and the way things get stuck in your head.
00:02:51.000 How much of music do we like, genuinely like, and how much is it just repetition that's, we recognize it, you know?
00:03:00.000 Like the Beatles.
00:03:01.000 You've heard the Beatles 80 million times, or Bob Marley, or Led Zeppelin, so you like them.
00:03:06.000 I remember when I was young, a teenager, maybe 14, there was this punk band, GBH, and they're not a very likable band, but I liked their look, and I wanted to dress like them.
00:03:18.000 So I just force-fed City Baby Attacked by Rats into my brain, listened to it 100 times, and then I liked it.
00:03:27.000 You ever have the opposite?
00:03:28.000 Where you like a song and you have to stop yourself from exhausting the song?
00:03:33.000 Yes.
00:03:34.000 Yes.
00:03:34.000 Jerry Cinnamon, Bonnie.
00:03:36.000 Oh, yeah.
00:03:36.000 Dude, I don't think you did a great job of not playing that out.
00:03:39.000 It was during the skiing trip.
00:03:42.000 Every night was, do you know the bunny?
00:03:44.000 On the ski lift.
00:03:45.000 Do you know the money?
00:03:47.000 Yeah, I ruined him.
00:03:48.000 You did, yeah.
00:03:49.000 I did.
00:03:50.000 It's like, I remember I was really into eggnog, and I chugged like a three-liter thing of it, and now.
00:03:54.000 What were you five years old?
00:03:56.000 I can't even look at eggnog.
00:03:59.000 Yeah, you.
00:04:00.000 And this, remember the Payola in the 80s, I think it was?
00:04:03.000 Pay to play.
00:04:04.000 So these record labels were caught paying records labels to play the song again and again and again and that made it a hit.
00:04:12.000 I'm not saying there's no such thing as good music, but I was going to do a green screen on underrated albums like Cut the Crap by The Clash, Mondo Bongo by Boomtown Rats, and Word of Mouth by The Kinks.
00:04:26.000 And they have great hits on them.
00:04:28.000 Mondo Bongo has that Another Piece of Red Left My Atlas Today.
00:04:33.000 And Up All Night Doon Doon Doondoo.
00:04:36.000 And then Cut the Crap has This Is England on it.
00:04:43.000 And Word of Mouth has that Livin' on a Thin Line that they use on the Sopranos.
00:04:49.000 So they're three great albums.
00:04:50.000 You should pull them up.
00:04:52.000 But I was thinking the reason I like them so, well, obviously I listened to the shit out of the clash because I was punk.
