E20 Scorpions - The Zoo


Listen Later

You absolutely have to hear this week's theme song, and Jay-Tray's take on the Scorpions classic, "The Zoo"...it's so wild and wonderful that we haven't been able to get it out of our head since we got it! And you got that right - Candace and Jay-Tray are talking about Scorpions tonight...and what a story it is! You know we can only skim part of it in two hours, so we're talking about the beginnings, wishing that we could hear those beat inspired beginnings, but taking the time to experience one of their first recordings from way back in 1972, "I'm Going Mad" before we talk controversial album covers, and how crazy we are about 1980's "Animal Magnetism". We listen to "The Zoo", of course, and "Only a Man", before skipping through a few memorable places in the catalog - 1984's "I'm Leaving You" and how it rings our "Beat It" bells, and the tribute to the Bill Clinton/Monica Lewinsky video that they dropped in 1999 called "To Be No. 1". Candace remembers their drummer from that period, James Kottak, from watching the "Ex-Wives of Rock" reality show, so we watch a couple of scenes from his appearances before we come back around to the song that they dropped in April 2020, "Sign of Hope". It should almost go without saying that we have to end things with a little UFO after touching on the Schenker brothers story, we had to beg pretty please for a little "Doctor Doctor" to take us out. It's a lot of fun this week, get into it!
