As is well documented, music was first created when our neanderthal fam noticed how good donking their mates on the noggin with large bones sounded (its no coincidence we use words like 'beat' and 'hits', after all). We pretty much clocked it then. When you get down to it, all music has been pretty much the same since, as we document with this episode- same ol instruments, same ol feels, even a few of the same ol bands. Feel free to have a listen anyway. As many times as you like.

We dedicate this episode to the real star of the show: the 108 metre tall building-chomping lizard we all know and love. It's a celebration of everything he's done- the time he fought fascism in the Spanish civil war, his hard-line stance against advertising and, of course, his numerous musical cameos. This one's for you, big G.

Everyone has a price, right? You dish out the right scrilla and you'll get a car with arms, you'll get to play as Deej in your favourite video game, you might even get us to stop making this podcast. But can you ever get your favourite 90s French house project to release more music? In solidarity with the French government, we dedicate this episode to that hope.

We're drawing a line on morality. Australian 90s bands that love each other? Goodies. The cast of Seinfeld? Baddies. Kangaroos? Goodies. One certain song we won't mention here but is in this episode? Maybe the biggest baddie of the season. Heck, we're probably baddies for this one too.

ooooooo yeah, baby. We've been wanting to make this kind of episode for you for a looooong time. We've been saving our most sensual banter and horniest songs just for this kind of episode. I think you know what kind of episode this is. The kind that calls for those other headphones. You know the ones. Go ahead, slip those on. Let's get down to it.

Right after we both input the right pairing codes.

SONGS COVERED:

90. Chef - No Substitute

89. Garbage - Special

88. Pearl Jam - Wishlist

Alright, new season, new direction for communication: two-way, baby. In a bold and shamefully transparent strategy for more engagement, we're putting the call out on all kinds of things: Beck-fruit pairings, Godzilla, and who does the best cover versions and why is it Tom Jones? You know what to do.

95. Beck - Tropicalia

94. Smashing Pumpkins - Perfect

93. Silverchair - Untitled

92. Space & Cerys Matthews - The Ballad of Tom Jones

They're back! Well, 3/4 of them anyway (and the replacement for the one missing is a pretty good stand in.) And although we start at the bottom of another hundo, there are still big songs and big things happening: we get David to Eurovision, we put black metal on the main stage at big day out, we write a hit heartwarming family film and yes, we dare to do the impressions nobody ever should. #season6 #1998 #freeAndrew #lockAndrewup

SONGS COVERED:

100. Not From There - Sich Offnen

99. The Superjesus - Saturation

98. Foo Fighters - Baker Street

This is how the 1997 hottest 100 countdown ends- not with a bang, not with a whimper; but with lawsuits, woohoos, classifieds, whiskeys/vodkas/lagers/ciders and, most of all, songs that remind us of the good times. Allegedly. 

Still gargantuan, still iconic, still unmistakable. It's the second half of THE BIG TEN. 

SONGS COVERED:

5. Pauline Pantsdown - Back Door Man

4. The Verve - Bittersweet Symphony

3. Chumbawumba - Tubthumping

2. Blur - Song 2

1. The Whitlams - No Aphrodisiac
