111
00:05:29,680 --> 00:05:31,200
Speaker 1: To ever have on this radio show.

112
00:05:31,440 --> 00:05:34,760
Speaker 3: I'd abslutely adore Savage Garden anyone that had the privilege

113
00:05:34,800 --> 00:05:35,880
Speaker 3: of listening to that record.

114
00:05:35,920 --> 00:05:37,080
Speaker 1: When was it ninety nine?

115
00:05:37,200 --> 00:05:37,599
Speaker 3: Darren?

116
00:05:38,240 --> 00:05:42,920
Speaker 1: There were only twenty albums ninety seven and ninety seven.

117
00:05:42,960 --> 00:05:44,760
Speaker 1: I have a soft spot for that first record too.

118
00:05:44,880 --> 00:05:45,599
Speaker 1: I just think.

119
00:05:45,440 --> 00:05:47,320
Speaker 5: It's weird for me to say this because I was

120
00:05:47,360 --> 00:05:49,200
Speaker 5: in the band, but I almost feel like a fan

121
00:05:49,400 --> 00:05:52,479
Speaker 5: of the band because that first record was like, I

122
00:05:52,480 --> 00:05:54,120
Speaker 5: don't know, it was just I agree with you.

123
00:05:54,160 --> 00:05:56,720
Speaker 1: It was just weirdly perfect.

124
00:05:56,880 --> 00:05:59,720
Speaker 5: And I don't say that because I didn't just make it.

125
00:06:00,080 --> 00:06:03,000
Speaker 5: Me and Daniel and Charles Fisher the producer, and a

126
00:06:03,080 --> 00:06:06,120
Speaker 5: weird kind of time in pop music where we weren't grunge,

127
00:06:06,200 --> 00:06:08,960
Speaker 5: we weren't you know, Backstreet Boys or whatever. Were just

128
00:06:08,960 --> 00:06:11,839
Speaker 5: these two kids that worked in a small studio and

129
00:06:11,880 --> 00:06:13,040
Speaker 5: wrote these songs together.

130
00:06:13,080 --> 00:06:14,440
Speaker 1: And can I ask a.

131
00:06:14,440 --> 00:06:17,719
Speaker 3: Very fanny Can I ask a very fanny question? Because

132
00:06:17,920 --> 00:06:20,400
Speaker 3: often when I DJ, if I'm playing like more of

133
00:06:20,440 --> 00:06:22,680
Speaker 3: like a nineties well, I'll play the song I Want You,

134
00:06:23,760 --> 00:06:26,680
Speaker 3: which is out there with one of my favorites, just

135
00:06:26,760 --> 00:06:30,320
Speaker 3: the build, the start of it, but obviously the fast

136
00:06:30,360 --> 00:06:31,360
Speaker 3: talking at the start.

137
00:06:31,880 --> 00:06:33,200
Speaker 1: Did you write the lyrics for that?

138
00:06:33,240 --> 00:06:33,599
Speaker 2: Can we have?

139
00:06:33,600 --> 00:06:34,599
Speaker 1: We got a little bit of that song and.

140
00:06:34,720 --> 00:06:40,200
Speaker 3: That, but then the opening bid, which is obviously the

141
00:06:40,279 --> 00:06:42,000
Speaker 3: chicken cherry Cole want me to do it?

142
00:06:42,200 --> 00:06:45,719
Speaker 1: Yes? Would we want you to do it? My God?

143
00:06:46,360 --> 00:06:48,120
Speaker 2: And someone need to see your pas just going my

144
00:06:48,200 --> 00:06:50,040
Speaker 2: eyes and I am taking to a pasite, your crystal

00:06:50,120 --> 00:06:51,920
Speaker 2: man and a gentle feel. Let's take it shut to them

146
00:06:51,920 --> 00:06:53,719
Speaker 2: in the business. Bannge with like a chicken cherry Cole.

147
00:06:54,000 --> 00:06:55,360
Speaker 2: I don't need to try to explain it, just so,

148
00:06:55,560 --> 00:06:57,280
Speaker 2: don't dad, And if it happens again, I'm a move

149
00:06:57,320 --> 00:06:59,200
Speaker 2: so sadly to the arms that's in the face of

150
00:06:59,200 --> 00:07:01,160
Speaker 2: the human and am I need to I want to?

151
00:07:01,880 --> 00:07:08,480
Speaker 3: Yeah, who wrote the chicken cherry Colard?

152
00:07:08,560 --> 00:07:12,320
Speaker 1: Bit me? What do you mean? What do you mean?

153
00:07:13,800 --> 00:07:16,840
Speaker 5: It's just a really fun word play. I think the

154
00:07:16,880 --> 00:07:19,120
Speaker 5: first time I went to the United States, we back then.

155
00:07:19,160 --> 00:07:22,600
Speaker 5: You gotta understand, we didn't really have like imports or

156
00:07:22,640 --> 00:07:25,160
Speaker 5: anything like that, so we just had I guess we

157
00:07:25,280 --> 00:07:25,960
Speaker 5: just had fanca.

158
00:07:26,600 --> 00:07:30,520
Speaker 1: That's it. I don't know what it was. I'm old,

159
00:07:30,560 --> 00:07:31,800
Speaker 1: I'm fifty. But here's the thing.

160
00:07:32,680 --> 00:07:35,440
Speaker 5: I went to LA for the first time ever, and

161
00:07:35,920 --> 00:07:38,600
Speaker 5: I went to a drug store, which is what we

162
00:07:38,640 --> 00:07:42,080
Speaker 5: just called supermarket in the US, and they had doctor pepper,

163
00:07:42,200 --> 00:07:44,080
Speaker 5: which you know now, but I didn't know what it was,

164
00:07:44,360 --> 00:07:44,800
Speaker 5: and the.

165
00:07:44,800 --> 00:07:47,080
Speaker 1: Taste of it. I didn't know what it was. Turns out,

166
00:07:47,120 --> 00:07:50,800
Speaker 1: spoiler alert, it's just prune juice. Who knew? But I thought,

167
00:07:50,880 --> 00:07:53,200
Speaker 1: what is this flavor? And I thought it was cherry?

168
00:07:53,640 --> 00:07:55,800
Speaker 5: So I was writing this lyric and I was like

169
00:07:55,840 --> 00:07:57,520
Speaker 5: anytime I need to see your face, So just close

170
00:07:57,600 --> 00:07:59,440
Speaker 5: my eyes. I'm taking to a place, you know where

171
00:07:59,440 --> 00:08:02,280
Speaker 5: your crystal feelings take up shelter in the base of

172
00:08:02,280 --> 00:08:05,920
Speaker 5: my spine. Sweet like cherry cola. But I stuttered that line.

173
00:08:05,960 --> 00:08:09,840
Speaker 5: So in the basements mine like a cherry collar. But

174
00:08:09,920 --> 00:08:12,400
Speaker 5: everybody thought I was saying chicken cherry cola. So I

175
00:08:12,640 --> 00:08:14,680
Speaker 5: writing that was the lyric, and then some people thought

176
00:08:14,720 --> 00:08:15,640
Speaker 5: it was chicken cherry colar.

177
00:08:15,680 --> 00:08:19,200
Speaker 1: And then KFC came to us and offered us a

178
00:08:19,200 --> 00:08:24,840
Speaker 1: million bucks and said one million dollars. We said no, yeah,

179
00:08:26,440 --> 00:08:28,000
