00:00:47,120 --> 00:00:50,280
Speaker 1: about how the song came about. She was in a

14
00:00:50,400 --> 00:00:53,840
Speaker 1: room with some friends who were producers and they were

15
00:00:53,880 --> 00:00:55,720
Speaker 1: just talking about this drinking game.

16
00:00:56,480 --> 00:00:58,800

Speaker 4: I'll teach you guys to create drinking games. And then

19
00:01:04,280 --> 00:01:06,559
Speaker 4: but I like, I called onto it because all these

20
00:01:06,680 --> 00:01:09,280
Speaker 4: they're not Korean and they're just all Americans, and they

21
00:01:09,319 --> 00:01:11,760

24
00:01:16,720 --> 00:01:19,360
Speaker 4: a joke. We should make a song, and jokingly, we

25
00:01:19,400 --> 00:01:22,720
Speaker 4: made the song and that's what is right now.

26
00:01:23,160 --> 00:01:25,399
Speaker 1: How do you play the game? I'm interested as well.

27
00:01:25,400 --> 00:01:26,960
Speaker 1: You've got to put your hands in the middle. This

28
00:01:27,000 --> 00:01:28,839
Speaker 1: is how you play up Tae the drinking game.

29
00:01:29,600 --> 00:01:35,399
Speaker 4: The drinking game goes Rosie's favorite game game Sune. You

00:01:44,000 --> 00:01:45,400
Speaker 4: like four, so one.

00:01:45,440 --> 00:01:47,840
Speaker 2: Two, three, put it on top three.

34
00:01:47,840 --> 00:01:49,680
Speaker 4: Four and I landed on the fourth floor. So I

35
00:01:49,680 --> 00:01:50,200
Speaker 4: take the shot.

36
00:01:50,880 --> 00:01:53,840
Speaker 5: So you're stacking your hands, are you You're stacking your hands.

37
00:01:53,880 --> 00:01:56,840
Speaker 1: That's how you play the drinking game. So I just

38
00:01:56,960 --> 00:02:00,600
Speaker 1: love Oh that's so funny. I really love the you

39
00:02:00,640 --> 00:02:02,480
Speaker 1: know the song that you sing when you play the

40
00:02:02,560 --> 00:02:06,600
Speaker 1: drinking game. So they go straight into the studio and

41
00:02:06,640 --> 00:02:10,640
Speaker 1: within like half an hour, whip they put that song together.

42
00:02:11,200 --> 00:02:13,079
Speaker 2: And this is the original.

43
00:02:12,560 --> 00:02:15,960
Speaker 1: Demo, right, So Bruno Mars not even involved yet. This

44
00:02:16,040 --> 00:02:32,800
Speaker 1: is the original demo. So I okay, it's pretty basic,

45
00:02:32,919 --> 00:02:35,160
Speaker 1: but that's the start of it. But you know, what,

46
00:02:35,280 --> 00:02:37,400
Speaker 1: is it a hit? You don't know if it's a hit.

47
00:02:37,520 --> 00:02:40,720
Speaker 1: G yeah, sure, but how's rosa?

48
00:02:41,360 --> 00:02:42,519
Speaker 2: This is unbelievable.

49
00:02:42,800 --> 00:02:45,440
Speaker 1: You have the contacts where you can get in contact

50
00:02:45,560 --> 00:02:50,880
Speaker 1: with Bruno Mars, so then Bruno Mars, she's freaking out going. Oh,

51
00:02:50,880 --> 00:02:53,160
Speaker 1: Bruno Mars would be amazing to get involved in this.

52
00:02:53,240 --> 00:02:56,519
Speaker 1: But is it a bit basic? Is it really cheesy

53
00:02:56,600 --> 00:02:59,040
Speaker 1: this song? Is Bruno Mars going to like it?

54
00:03:00,040 --> 00:03:02,639
Speaker 4: A lot of people were like, no, he's not gonna

55
00:03:02,720 --> 00:03:05,400
Speaker 4: like it. It's just like two un serious, don't send it.

56
00:03:05,919 --> 00:03:08,280
Speaker 4: And I just kind of like, at the last minute,

57
00:03:08,280 --> 00:03:09,959
Speaker 4: I switched the last song and I sent it and

58
00:03:11,040 --> 00:03:15,320
Speaker 4: that's when this whole Yeah, that's when Bruno was like

59
00:03:15,440 --> 00:03:18,920
Speaker 4: what is this? I felt like he understood the assignment.

60
00:03:19,320 --> 00:03:21,160
Speaker 4: So I think without him, I don't know if I

61
00:03:21,160 --> 00:03:23,760
Speaker 4: would have believed in this as much as I could,

62
00:03:23,880 --> 00:03:26,800
Speaker 4: because he just kind of understood it. He took it,

63
00:03:26,880 --> 00:03:29,079
Speaker 4: and then he just knew what to do with it.

64
00:03:29,760 --> 00:03:32,960
Speaker 1: And I think with the thing with Bruno Mars, we

65
00:03:33,040 --> 00:03:36,480
Speaker 1: don't realize how talented this guy is. Like he could

66
00:03:36,480 --> 00:03:39,440
Speaker 1: do a full album, whip on the guitar, on their rhymes.

67
00:03:39,680 --> 00:03:42,240
Speaker 1: The bloke knows every instrument, and we know how good

68
00:03:42,240 --> 00:03:44,920
Speaker 1: a dancer he is. I mean he was a childhood performer.

69
00:03:45,120 --> 00:03:48,800
Speaker 1: That's right with his dad like that. He's been performing

70
00:03:49,240 --> 00:03:51,920
Speaker 1: since he was five six years of age. So the

71
00:03:52,000 --> 00:03:54,560
Speaker 1: guy comes in, Bruno Mars comes in, here's the song.

72
00:03:54,800 --> 00:03:57,280
Speaker 1: He thinks there's something there, and then he just adds

73
00:03:57,320 --> 00:03:59,120
Speaker 1: his flavor and then.

74
00:03:58,960 --> 00:04:01,960
Speaker 4: He gets the guitar and then creating this really like

75
00:04:02,280 --> 00:04:05,080
Speaker 4: this rock like feel to it, and it's like he

76
00:04:05,200 --> 00:04:07,880
Speaker 4: puts that Bruno fevor in it. He picks up the

77
00:04:07,920 --> 00:04:09,160
Speaker 4: time and then he gets like he gets on the

78
00:04:09,200 --> 00:04:10,960
Speaker 4: drums and then adds all this to it and they

79
00:04:11,000 --> 00:04:14,000
Speaker 4: remember the outro starts adding these sounds and it's just

80
00:04:14,040 --> 00:04:17,039
Speaker 4: like euphloric. I just remember that. I was just freaking out.

81
00:04:17,160 --> 00:04:18,720
Speaker 4: It was such an incredible moment.

82
00:04:19,200 --> 00:04:19,880
Speaker 2: Go Bruno.

83
00:04:20,240 --> 00:04:22,920
Speaker 1: What a great moment though, when you realize that you've

84
00:04:22,920 --> 00:04:23,760
Speaker 1: got a hit song.

85
00:04:23,960 --> 00:04:27,320
Speaker 5: Yeah, I really that sounded good. Fits without Bruno Mars.

86
00:04:27,440 --> 00:04:28,440
Speaker 2: I think it would have worked.

87
00:04:28,880 --> 00:04:30,520
Speaker 5: Now, don't get me wrong, Bruno's Bruno.

88
00:04:31,040 --> 00:04:31,920
Speaker 2: It needed more.

89
00:04:32,160 --> 00:04:34,640
Speaker 1: That's like when we did Goo Goo Dolls Iris a

90
00:04:34,640 --> 00:04:37,160
Speaker 1: few weeks ago in and they were just sort of well.

91
00:04:37,200 --> 00:04:40,359
Speaker 1: They they were a struggling band and he had he

92
00:04:40,440 --> 00:04:44,279
Speaker 1: had writer's block. And the only reason that was that

93
00:04:44,400 --> 00:04:46,880
Speaker 1: was a song in a soundtrack to a big movie

94
00:04:46,920 --> 00:04:49,760
Speaker 1: by Warner Brothers. And the only reason he got that

95
00:04:49,960 --> 00:04:53,839
Speaker 1: orchestra and all that stuff around him is because Warner

96
00:04:53,839 --> 00:04:55,880
Speaker 1: Brothers paid the money to do it. When you get

97
00:04:55,880 --> 00:04:59,000
Speaker 1: someone like Bruno Mars in it takes it to another level.

98
00:04:59,720 --> 00:05:02,880
Speaker 1: It's I had two point one billion views just on

99
00:05:02,920 --> 00:05:04,600
Speaker 1: YouTube this song. Do you know?

100
00:05:05,200 --> 00:05:05,919
Speaker 2: It's crazy?

101
00:05:06,040 --> 00:05:08,560
Speaker 5: Only sort of drinking game I can think of in

102
00:05:08,640 --> 00:05:12,080
Speaker 5: Australia just the top of the head is he's a

103
00:05:12,200 --> 00:05:15,800
Speaker 5: best for he's true's I mean we could put some

104
00:05:15,920 --> 00:05:18,159
Speaker 5: music behind that fits here.

105
00:05:18,000 --> 00:05:23,039
Speaker 1: It is and Bruno mars it's apetite.

106
00:05:24,760 --> 00:05:26,040
Speaker 2: But who is the suggestion man?

107
00:05:26,160 --> 00:05:30,080
Speaker 5: This is the Fitzian Whipper with Cape Ritchie podcast.

108
00:05:30,680 --> 00:05:32,360
Speaker 2: Well let's again Lucky.

109
00:05:34,520 --> 00:05:40,520
Speaker 4: I don't know a lot of me this song to.

110
00:05:40,520 --> 00:05:44,200
Speaker 1: Be Let's go back to nineteen ninety seven, seventh of April.

111
00:05:44,320 --> 00:05:50,800
Speaker 1: This song was released by an English band called Blue.

112
00:05:52,760 --> 00:05:55,760
Speaker 1: I mean, everyone knows that it's a great song. It

113
00:05:55,920 --> 00:05:58,680
Speaker 1: fires any dance floor up and it is and it's

114
00:05:58,720 --> 00:06:02,240
Speaker 1: such a basic, simple song, very interesting the origins of

115
00:06:02,279 --> 00:06:06,279
Speaker 1: this song. Let's talk about their genius singer Damon Albarn

116
00:06:06,400 --> 00:06:10,200
Speaker 1: and we know how good he's been with gorillas as well,

117
00:06:10,320 --> 00:06:13,920
Speaker 1: and the amount of songs that he samples and sort

118
00:06:13,960 --> 00:06:14,520
Speaker 1: of takes.

119
00:06:15,000 --> 00:06:16,479
Speaker 2: I mean we've spoken about this before.

120
00:06:16,520 --> 00:06:19,840
Speaker 1: He used to just a basic sort of keyboard and

121
00:06:19,920 --> 00:06:24,400
Speaker 1: just one of the sort of registered sort of beats

122
00:06:24,400 --> 00:06:27,000
Speaker 1: that makes the keyboard and put that into a song.

123
00:06:27,760 --> 00:06:27,800
Speaker 4: That.

124
00:06:29,839 --> 00:06:34,039
Speaker 1: Yeah, So he speaks about his interesting way of putting

125
00:06:34,160 --> 00:06:34,919
Speaker 1: music together.

126
00:06:35,520 --> 00:06:37,400
Speaker 4: I mean, the whole thing about pop music is that

127
00:06:37,440 --> 00:06:39,440
Speaker 4: you're just you know, you're ripping off as many people

128
00:06:39,880 --> 00:06:42,000
Speaker 4: as you possibly can, you know, and the trick is

129
00:06:42,080 --> 00:06:43,320
Speaker 4: just listened to the right people.

130
00:06:44,400 --> 00:06:45,320
Speaker 2: So that's what he does.

131
00:06:45,400 --> 00:06:47,000
Speaker 1: He listens to a lot of music and then he

132
00:06:47,040 --> 00:06:50,400
Speaker 1: puts it into a song. So song two was actually

133
00:06:50,440 --> 00:06:53,279
Speaker 1: inspired by a Brazilian pop style.

134
00:06:53,400 --> 00:06:54,279
Speaker 2: Have a listen to this.

135
00:06:55,800 --> 00:06:56,040
Speaker 4: Song?

136
00:06:56,160 --> 00:06:57,840
Speaker 3: Who is kind of bottling over?

137
00:07:00,320 --> 00:07:00,480
Speaker 2: Right?

138
00:07:02,520 --> 00:07:05,600
Speaker 1: So bus and Over is a Brazilian music style and

139
00:07:05,720 --> 00:07:08,760
Speaker 1: that's what he brought to the band. So Graham Cox

140
00:07:08,839 --> 00:07:12,920
Speaker 1: and the lead guitarist, talks about and they've actually got

141
00:07:12,960 --> 00:07:16,400
Speaker 1: an example of what the original demo of song too was.

142
00:07:16,440 --> 00:07:17,000
Speaker 2: Have a listen.

143
00:07:17,840 --> 00:07:20,120
Speaker 3: Well, Damon had this little song that he had on

144
00:07:20,120 --> 00:07:23,840
Speaker 3: acoustic guitar. He had demo It's very slow on guitar,

145
00:07:23,880 --> 00:07:25,640
Speaker 3: and it went to.

146
00:07:30,920 --> 00:07:41,720
Speaker 2: To that was the original.

147
00:07:47,120 --> 00:07:50,800
Speaker 1: Isn't that amazing? And then blurt then have a listened

148
00:07:50,800 --> 00:07:53,200
Speaker 1: to Graham Cox and talk about this right, because they

149
00:07:53,240 --> 00:07:55,480
Speaker 1: listened to it and went they're a bit off their

150
00:07:55,560 --> 00:07:58,920
Speaker 1: record company at the time, so they said, let's turn

151
00:07:59,000 --> 00:08:01,760
Speaker 1: this into a piss tape, thinking that the record company

152
00:08:01,800 --> 00:08:02,680
Speaker 1: would hate it.

153
00:08:03,600 --> 00:08:05,280
Speaker 3: I was like, this is quite this is quite good

154
00:08:05,320 --> 00:08:08,440
Speaker 3: letter really really fast, really really noisy and horrible, and

155
00:08:10,120 --> 00:08:12,600
Speaker 3: tell the record label that we want to record it

156
00:08:12,640 --> 00:08:14,320
Speaker 3: as a single. I'll scare him to death.

157
00:08:15,800 --> 00:08:16,560
Speaker 2: I hate it.

158
00:08:17,760 --> 00:08:19,480
Speaker 3: And so that's what we did. And they came in

159
00:08:19,520 --> 00:08:23,800
Speaker 3: and we played it to them, giggling, playing that one,

160
00:08:23,840 --> 00:08:27,240
Speaker 3: you know, the one, that second song we recorded, and

161
00:08:27,960 --> 00:08:29,760
Speaker 3: they're like, wow, this is excellent.

162
00:08:31,360 --> 00:08:32,640
Speaker 2: I just to annoy them.

163
00:08:33,000 --> 00:08:36,400
Speaker 1: It blew up in their faces. And lyric wise, Damon

164
00:08:36,559 --> 00:08:39,480
Speaker 1: was just throwing words. He just this is what I

165
00:08:39,520 --> 00:08:42,480
Speaker 1: love about him, like less is more so throwing words

166
00:08:42,520 --> 00:08:45,000
Speaker 1: in and it just stuck and he didn't want to

167
00:08:45,080 --> 00:08:58,560
Speaker 1: change it.

168
00:08:58,559 --> 00:09:01,560
Speaker 3: It's a good vocal, th doughn't it just is relaxed

169
00:09:01,600 --> 00:09:03,280
Speaker 3: and I think he wrote lyrics and how to go

170
00:09:03,480 --> 00:09:08,040
Speaker 3: doing the vocal again? It's just not is I ever

171
00:09:08,160 --> 00:09:11,880
Speaker 3: trying too hard or something and self conscious or it

172
00:09:12,000 --> 00:09:13,840
Speaker 3: was just like I'll blow it, just have these.

173
00:09:15,480 --> 00:09:15,920
Speaker 2: Do you know what?

174
00:09:16,520 --> 00:09:20,679
Speaker 1: They weren't even trying with this song and it became

175
00:09:20,720 --> 00:09:22,240
Speaker 1: their biggest song of all time.

176
00:09:22,080 --> 00:09:23,640
Speaker 5: Because I was when you brought the song up to

177
00:09:23,640 --> 00:09:25,440
Speaker 5: start with this, I was about to say, I don't

178
00:09:25,480 --> 00:09:27,880
Speaker 5: know one word of this song. I know the song

179
00:09:28,040 --> 00:09:30,959
Speaker 5: very well and they but I don't know anything else.

180
00:09:31,360 --> 00:09:35,040
Speaker 1: So they, I mean, Damon had an idea. Then out

181
00:09:35,120 --> 00:09:37,760
Speaker 1: of spite of their record company, they try to make

182
00:09:37,800 --> 00:09:41,160
Speaker 1: the worst version of that idea. He threw in words

183
00:09:41,200 --> 00:09:44,520
Speaker 1: that don't that don't make sense, and it's now their

184
00:09:44,520 --> 00:09:45,280
Speaker 1: biggest song of.
