We turned the time machine to "extra wayback" and landed in 1963. It was a strange world where Elvis was a movie star, astrophysics was trendy, and people were doing the limbo (again). Can Sam and Ben find musical gems among milquetoast crooners, soulless cash grabs, and songs their parents haven't even heard of? Of course they can. Come along for the ride. 

Join two guys from 2019 as they curate a playlist - and a "nay list" - from the Billboard music charts for March 2, 1963.
