Speaker 1: we go.

17
00:00:59,160 --> 00:01:03,360
Speaker 2: Because Sweet produces, Bloodsheine and of Vart were their names.

18
00:01:04,080 --> 00:01:07,400

19
00:01:07,440 --> 00:01:10,680
Speaker 2: So this is a Bollywood movie from nineteen eighty one,

20
00:01:10,760 --> 00:01:15,080
Speaker 2: Whip Okay, And there was a scene where they were performing.

21
00:01:15,360 --> 00:01:33,040
Speaker 2: Have a listen to the Bollywood movie.

22
00:01:35,720 --> 00:01:39,320
Speaker 1: Isn't that amazing? So, I mean it's still not but

23
00:01:39,360 --> 00:01:42,360
Speaker 1: see that they took bits of that little bit there.

24
00:01:42,400 --> 00:01:45,000
Speaker 2: It's amazing where something just there is must have pricked

25
00:01:45,040 --> 00:01:46,960
Speaker 2: up and gone, that sounds really good.

26
00:01:47,040 --> 00:01:48,040
Speaker 1: Let's put it together.

27
00:01:48,760 --> 00:01:51,520
Speaker 2: And this is the rough demo of them putting that

28
00:01:51,640 --> 00:01:52,960
Speaker 2: Bollywood movie together.

29
00:02:00,760 --> 00:02:05,240
Speaker 1: They can't you see. So that was the start of

30
00:02:05,360 --> 00:02:05,800
Speaker 1: the song.

31
00:02:05,960 --> 00:02:08,320
Speaker 2: So then they send it to the record company. The

32
00:02:08,360 --> 00:02:11,040
Speaker 2: record company put it together. This is Britney Spears talking

33
00:02:11,040 --> 00:02:13,399
Speaker 2: about it. So then you have got this amazing beat.

34
00:02:13,440 --> 00:02:16,800
Speaker 2: You've got this amazing song put together. Britney Spears talks

35
00:02:16,840 --> 00:02:19,880
Speaker 2: about what the song toxic and the lyrics are all about.

36
00:02:20,800 --> 00:02:25,840
Speaker 4: Toxic is about being addicted to a guy's kiss of

37
00:02:25,960 --> 00:02:29,560
Speaker 4: his love and you know in when she gets around him,

38
00:02:29,919 --> 00:02:32,000
Speaker 4: the whole world like when you a feeling of being

39
00:02:32,040 --> 00:02:34,080
Speaker 4: in love or nothing makes sense and you're kind of

40
00:02:35,400 --> 00:02:36,160
Speaker 4: a little line.

41
00:02:37,760 --> 00:02:40,440
Speaker 2: But see this, this is the thing that blows my mind.

42
00:02:40,560 --> 00:02:44,680
Speaker 2: Brittany didn't write it. Someone was brought in to write

43
00:02:44,800 --> 00:02:47,200
Speaker 2: lyrics and melody. Have a listened to this whip.

44
00:02:47,440 --> 00:02:50,239
Speaker 5: British songwriter Kathy Dennis was brought in to write lyrics

45
00:02:50,240 --> 00:02:51,799
Speaker 5: and it's Hypelaine melody.

46
00:02:51,760 --> 00:02:57,640
Speaker 3: To her can't come, He's in my head stand around.

47
00:02:58,600 --> 00:03:03,200
Speaker 2: So that was Kathy Dennis showing Britney how to do it.

48
00:03:03,240 --> 00:03:04,680
Speaker 1: Isn't that crazy it is.

49
00:03:05,560 --> 00:03:08,200
Speaker 2: I am going to go through because I then did

50
00:03:08,240 --> 00:03:10,840
Speaker 2: some research on this and I go, well, does Britney.

51
00:03:10,520 --> 00:03:13,519
Speaker 1: Get paid royalties for this song? She gets buggaroll No,

52
00:03:13,960 --> 00:03:16,679
Speaker 1: well she must so the song.

53
00:03:16,480 --> 00:03:22,320
Speaker 2: In twenty twenty three tipped over one billion streams on Spotify.

54
00:03:22,360 --> 00:03:24,280
Speaker 1: It's over twenty years old.

55
00:03:24,880 --> 00:03:27,080
Speaker 2: But this is the thing because you only get point

56
00:03:27,200 --> 00:03:32,240
Speaker 2: zero three since for a stream it's made between three

57
00:03:32,320 --> 00:03:35,400
Speaker 2: to five million dollars in royalties, but that doesn't hardly

58
00:03:35,720 --> 00:03:38,760
Speaker 2: any of that goes to Brittany, goes to all the writers.

59
00:03:38,920 --> 00:03:42,440
Speaker 2: So it's those two Swedish guys. It's Kathy Dennis, and

60
00:03:42,440 --> 00:03:45,600
Speaker 2: then it's this guy here. He's in it as well.

61
00:03:45,800 --> 00:03:48,440
Speaker 2: He's he was told to come in and do a

62
00:03:48,440 --> 00:03:51,320
Speaker 2: bit of bass. Have listened to the bass players background.

63
00:03:51,920 --> 00:03:52,480
Speaker 1: The base was.

64
00:03:52,480 --> 00:03:58,800
Speaker 5: Played by Thomas Lindberg, a death metal vocalist known as

65
00:03:58,960 --> 00:03:59,760
Speaker 5: Goat Spell.

66
00:04:04,040 --> 00:04:07,480
Speaker 2: Glad that didn't put that bit in so so it's

67
00:04:07,480 --> 00:04:11,360
Speaker 2: an interesting mix of people that put together Britney spears

68
00:04:11,400 --> 00:04:12,320
Speaker 2: Toxic listen.

69
00:04:12,920 --> 00:04:17,080
Speaker 5: Basically, Toxic is an Indian surf ra death metal dance

70
00:04:17,120 --> 00:04:21,719
Speaker 5: pop song made by four Swedes and one for an American.

71
00:04:24,760 --> 00:04:26,960
Speaker 3: The thing is right if you're Britney Spears. You're going

72
00:04:27,000 --> 00:04:28,760
Speaker 3: to say, and you're going to try and negotiate. Yeah,

73
00:04:28,800 --> 00:04:30,560
Speaker 3: I get it, guys, but you can't sell it without

74
00:04:30,560 --> 00:04:32,760
Speaker 3: my name on it. But then they're going to go, well,

75
00:04:32,839 --> 00:04:34,680
Speaker 3: we can take this to another artist. Britney say, do

76
00:04:34,720 --> 00:04:37,240
Speaker 3: you want this song? Because this is the genius. So

77
00:04:37,320 --> 00:04:39,880
Speaker 3: Britney says, well, do you know what? I need to

78
00:04:39,920 --> 00:04:42,560
Speaker 3: sell shows and I need songs, so I'm going to

79
00:04:42,600 --> 00:04:46,080
Speaker 3: make my money back if I'm performing live. They're all right,

80
00:04:46,160 --> 00:04:48,240
Speaker 3: I'll take a minimum cut on this one because I

81
00:04:48,320 --> 00:04:49,080
Speaker 3: know this is a hit.

82
00:04:49,640 --> 00:04:53,760
Speaker 2: Well, this is her Las Vegas residency is where Britney

83
00:04:53,760 --> 00:04:55,960
Speaker 2: makes her money, so she performs toxic.

84
00:04:56,080 --> 00:05:01,000
Speaker 1: She doesn't perform it live. It's probably mind too, doesn't she?

85
00:05:01,000 --> 00:05:01,719
Speaker 1: She mins?

86
00:05:02,760 --> 00:05:06,359
Speaker 2: But but the it's interesting that it's it's made around

87
00:05:06,400 --> 00:05:09,039
Speaker 2: about five million dollars in royalties, but that goes to

88
00:05:09,120 --> 00:05:11,760
Speaker 2: the two Swedish producers, to Kathy Dennis and to the

89
00:05:11,760 --> 00:05:14,120
Speaker 2: bass play in a death bettle.

90
00:05:13,839 --> 00:05:15,320
Speaker 3: Band, Oh my god, and we have to pay a

91
00:05:15,360 --> 00:05:17,320
Speaker 3: dollar every time we play it here at Novada, we tell.

92
00:05:17,279 --> 00:05:18,880
Speaker 1: He comes out of your popper. Here we go here

93
00:05:19,320 --> 00:05:20,000
Speaker 1: it comes.

94
00:05:19,720 --> 00:05:23,240
Speaker 3: So who wins? Kathy Kathy Dennis is another fifty five

95
00:05:23,320 --> 00:05:24,560
Speaker 3: cents coming your way, Kathy.

96
00:05:24,960 --> 00:05:33,440
Speaker 6: This is the Fitzian Wiper with Cape Ritchie podcast.

97
00:05:37,560 --> 00:05:45,000
Speaker 1: The process song So want to get a new intro?

98
00:05:45,839 --> 00:05:49,720
Speaker 2: It is fascinating. It's fascinating the process of her hit song.

99
00:05:49,800 --> 00:05:50,960
Speaker 1: How do they put it together?

100
00:05:52,200 --> 00:05:56,360
Speaker 2: Well, we're focusing today on Justin Bieber's song where Are

101
00:05:56,480 --> 00:05:57,000
Speaker 2: You Now?

102
00:06:00,360 --> 00:06:04,719
Speaker 1: Moustic sounds in this song. Beaver was approached by Diplo

103
00:06:04,920 --> 00:06:05,760
Speaker 1: and scrill X.

104
00:06:05,800 --> 00:06:08,800
Speaker 2: Now Diplo and scrill X had a well, they collaborated.

105
00:06:08,839 --> 00:06:10,840
Speaker 1: They were called jack You, Jack You.

106
00:06:11,839 --> 00:06:15,320
Speaker 2: This is a really interesting one because they're manufacturing sounds

107
00:06:15,360 --> 00:06:18,719
Speaker 2: and basically, you know, you use synthesizers in dance music

108
00:06:18,839 --> 00:06:22,000
Speaker 2: and tempos and all this kind of stuff, but you

109
00:06:22,040 --> 00:06:23,800
Speaker 2: know what, there's only so much that you can do

110
00:06:23,839 --> 00:06:26,880
Speaker 2: on an organ or so they've actually manufactured a lot

111
00:06:26,920 --> 00:06:30,440
Speaker 2: of sounds in this song themselves. But let's talk about

112
00:06:30,560 --> 00:06:33,920
Speaker 2: tempo first. It's fascinating. Like I mean, when you've got

113
00:06:33,960 --> 00:06:36,080
Speaker 2: to get people on the dance floor, you start down

114
00:06:36,160 --> 00:06:39,839
Speaker 2: low and then you realize we need people dancing to

115
00:06:39,920 --> 00:06:41,760
Speaker 2: this song, so you've got to pump it up a

116
00:06:41,760 --> 00:06:42,200
Speaker 2: little bit.

117
00:06:42,200 --> 00:06:45,240
Speaker 1: This is Diplo talking about the tempo of the song.

118
00:06:45,839 --> 00:06:47,479
Speaker 6: The drop has an A and B part. The first

119
00:06:47,520 --> 00:06:52,200
Speaker 6: part is simple, kind of hip hop bees second drop,

120
00:06:52,520 --> 00:06:58,839
Speaker 6: second half of the first drop goes double time. Great,

121
00:06:58,839 --> 00:07:04,640
Speaker 6: it's a little more uptemprong, got it.

122
00:07:04,640 --> 00:07:07,520
Speaker 2: I'm thineking you know what, because you do, you kick

123
00:07:07,520 --> 00:07:09,720
Speaker 2: off a song with that, you ease them into it,

124
00:07:09,840 --> 00:07:13,920
Speaker 2: and then when you kick into that double bass bang, God,

125
00:07:14,040 --> 00:07:15,600
Speaker 2: that's when you just can't.

126
00:07:15,480 --> 00:07:19,880
Speaker 1: Rocking your head. So what I was talking about before, usually.

127
00:07:19,760 --> 00:07:22,240
Speaker 2: Synthesizer sounds, and I mean you can go to a

128
00:07:22,280 --> 00:07:25,720
Speaker 2: computer to make these sounds, but they in this song

129
00:07:26,000 --> 00:07:29,920
Speaker 2: they use Justin Bieber's voice so much to make up

130
00:07:30,160 --> 00:07:33,480
Speaker 2: brand new sounds, so they manipulated his voice.

131
00:07:33,520 --> 00:07:35,360
Speaker 1: This is Diplow explaining that.

132
00:07:35,800 --> 00:07:37,360
Speaker 6: The first thing we made with the song was literally

133
00:07:37,360 --> 00:07:38,800
Speaker 6: just me playing with the vocals.

134
00:07:41,000 --> 00:07:41,360
Speaker 1: Misting.

135
00:07:43,120 --> 00:07:45,640
Speaker 6: Anybody can copy any sense. Now you can find the

136
00:07:45,680 --> 00:07:49,040
Speaker 6: synse sounds, you can find process, but if you manipulate vocals,

137
00:07:49,440 --> 00:07:51,720
Speaker 6: it's something really original. We took a lot of his

138
00:07:51,840 --> 00:07:55,640
Speaker 6: vocals and did different things to it, like added we

139
00:07:55,680 --> 00:07:58,200
Speaker 6: had it like natural harmonies because we didn't have anything

140
00:07:58,240 --> 00:07:59,760
Speaker 6: from him. We just had a vocals. We've created our

141
00:07:59,760 --> 00:08:03,680
Speaker 6: own and he's like, this is going to be You're

142
00:08:03,720 --> 00:08:04,640
Speaker 6: down to seventh, right.

143
00:08:04,600 --> 00:08:11,440
Speaker 1: And then we have this classic diplo is it? I mean?

144
00:08:11,560 --> 00:08:13,640
Speaker 1: And the most iconic part of this song, and this

145
00:08:13,720 --> 00:08:17,000
Speaker 1: is the last one, is that flute that you're hearing your.

146
00:08:16,800 --> 00:08:19,800
Speaker 2: Background now, all right, And this gives you a bit

147
00:08:19,800 --> 00:08:23,040
Speaker 2: more of an understanding of how they got that flute

148
00:08:23,120 --> 00:08:23,920
Speaker 2: sound together.

149
00:08:24,120 --> 00:08:26,880
Speaker 1: I had no idea. It had to do with Justin

150
00:08:26,920 --> 00:08:31,160
Speaker 1: Bieber's voice. The nature.

151
00:08:33,600 --> 00:08:37,840
Speaker 5: You do the most, you do the most, you the

152
00:08:38,040 --> 00:08:40,199
Speaker 5: most the last.

153
00:08:53,160 --> 00:08:55,680
Speaker 1: That's really cool. Isn't that fascinating?

154
00:08:55,880 --> 00:08:59,720
Speaker 3: Because if I mean, without Justin Bieber in it, and

155
00:08:59,800 --> 00:09:02,360
Speaker 3: let's so somebody had that sound as a ring tone,

156
00:09:02,880 --> 00:09:07,839
Speaker 3: you'd hate it forever. I had everything else and you

157
00:09:08,000 --> 00:09:09,520
Speaker 3: got yourself a hit.

158
00:09:10,240 --> 00:09:12,440
Speaker 1: That's the nugget of gold right there, isn't it?

159
00:09:12,480 --> 00:09:14,960
Speaker 2: And for any producer, that's what you're trying to find,

160
00:09:15,040 --> 00:09:18,320
Speaker 2: something that sticks in people's minds. Whenever you hear this song,

161
00:09:18,440 --> 00:09:21,160
Speaker 2: that is the one iconic you think it's a flute.

162
00:09:21,320 --> 00:09:23,760
Speaker 2: It sounds like a flute. I thought Lizzo was on

163
00:09:23,800 --> 00:09:27,560
Speaker 2: there with their flute us. It's not just Justin Bieber

164
00:09:27,559 --> 00:09:28,440
Speaker 2: and just sped up.

165
00:09:28,360 --> 00:09:31,240
Speaker 3: His beat once again with a lot of these songs

166
00:09:31,320 --> 00:09:34,440
Speaker 3: didn't really have anything to do with a song recorded

167
00:09:34,480 --> 00:09:36,240
Speaker 3: a couple of vocals. They kept saying, we just had

168
00:09:36,240 --> 00:09:37,760
Speaker 3: that file and we kept playing with it.

169
00:09:38,400 --> 00:09:41,000
Speaker 2: I think, Jess, you've listened to Justin Bieber's new album.

170
00:09:41,080 --> 00:09:43,760
Speaker 2: His new album is very, very good, and I think

171
00:09:43,800 --> 00:09:45,880
Speaker 2: he has full rights to it this time. There's no

172
00:09:46,040 --> 00:09:48,600
Speaker 2: record company involved, so he said, I'm going to be

173
00:09:49,040 --> 00:09:51,160
Speaker 2: getting all the royalties for my own song.

174
00:09:51,240 --> 00:09:53,439
Speaker 1: So he wrote a majority of these correct. Yeah, and

175
00:09:53,480 --> 00:09:55,280
Speaker 1: he wrote on this song as well. He wrote the lyrics,

176
00:09:55,280 --> 00:09:56,880
Speaker 1: but they just sent him the track. But the new

177
00:09:56,920 --> 00:09:59,120
Speaker 1: album Swaggon is really really good. Check it out.

178
00:10:00,000 --> 00:10:02,920
