The guys analyze a Chris pick: the Philip Bailey/Phil Collins collab “Easy Lover” from the Earth, Wind & Fire singer’s 1984 solo album Chinese Wall!

US Air Guitar champion Georgia Lunch returns to the show to help the guys analyze “Bang Go the Bells” from Babylon A.D.’s self-titled 1989 debut album!

The guys analyze a Nick pick from the Listener Submission List: “Burn Up the Night” from the 1982 Chubby Checker album The Change Has Come! The fellas were somewhat shocked to see a song by this artist on the list, as they were by the discovery that he released anything aside from “The Twist” and “Let’s Twist Again” in the ’60s and the Fat Boys collab in the ’80s. Did it end up being a colossal disappointment or an extremely pleasant surprise? Did it have a snowball’s chance in hell of becoming a Rock & Roll Boner classic? Listen and find out!
