Considering fireworks kept going off outside of The Winchester, we did a pretty good job of maintaining our focus and discussing this country-pop crossover mega hit. Get ready to sail away with Bill and Frank!

Our friend and Top Gun superfan Kate Angle join us as we discuss Berlin's "Take My Breath Away." Of course, we can't talk about this song without talking about the movie, and we can't talk about the movie and not talk about that PG-13 love scene, volleyball in jeans, and the tragic tale of wingman Goose. As we eagerly anticipate the release of Top Gun: Maverick, we hope this episode takes your breath away!

We love your follows, subscribes, rates, and reviews!

Although the tv series never had a chance to reach the heights, its theme song did! In between analysing the song, we learn about how you can actually communicate with an angel (if YouTube is to be believed), Frank's strategy for talking to girls on the phone, and the unfortunate history of Ray Pruit on Beverly Hills 90210.

Check out our Spotify playlist to hear all of the songs from our episode history.

In our first episode since Bill has recovered from COVID-19, we are discussing Leo Sayer's 1976 classic. We discuss Big Brother (boo!), the history of the song (with apologies to Ray Parker Jr), and our favourite parts of the song (and there are so many). Bill goes deep in his mixtape recommendations and Frank brings a new category to the podcast: when would you play this on a date?

Our good friend Rick joins us to discuss a song he suggested: Van Halen's "Why Can't This Be Love." Chuck Klosterman ranked this as the worst Van Halen song of all time; however, we respectfully disagree. This song introduced the world to the Van Hagar era and what a glorious era it was!

P.S. Thank you to Marianne for the idea and most of the lyrics to this mini-episode. 

Well, sometimes life just won't let you publish a proper podcast episode. The demands of work, family, and recovery from COVID-19 have conspired to keep us from releasing new content. We will be back, but in the meantime, enjoy Frank's freestyle message!

Bill and Frank may differ on the interpretation of this song, but we both agree that it is FANTASTIC!

If there was a template for a wedding song, this would pretty much fill it. Sure, it's pie-eyed and syrupy, but what do you expect? We welcome back Chris Newkirk to give us his feedback (33:52) and he does not disappoint!
