Speaker 1: And Amanda jam Nation.

2
00:00:03,440 --> 00:00:05,400
Speaker 2: Well, the last time we caught up with Billy Ocean

3
00:00:05,559 --> 00:00:09,079
Speaker 2: was in twenty twenty, and we just loved him. I

4
00:00:09,119 --> 00:00:11,360
Speaker 2: think it's fair to say that he has been responsible

5
00:00:11,400 --> 00:00:15,120
Speaker 2: for some of the biggest belters of the last forty years.

6
00:00:15,600 --> 00:00:17,880
Speaker 2: So he's heading down here for a new tour to

7
00:00:17,920 --> 00:00:21,360
Speaker 2: celebrate forty years or the fortieth anniversary of the album Suddenly,

8
00:00:21,680 --> 00:00:23,480
Speaker 2: Billy Ocean, Hello, here he is.

9
00:00:24,079 --> 00:00:26,040
Speaker 1: Hey, who is this Amanda?

10
00:00:26,280 --> 00:00:29,560
Speaker 3: Yes, Hello, that's us.

11
00:00:29,720 --> 00:00:32,440
Speaker 4: Last time we spoke, you were at a service station

12
00:00:32,520 --> 00:00:35,639
Speaker 4: on a ring road, squatted down between the aisles talking to.

13
00:00:35,680 --> 00:00:39,720
Speaker 1: Us on tour. I was on tour like I'm about

15
00:00:41,720 --> 00:00:43,280
Speaker 5: Well, we can't wait to see you.

16
00:00:43,280 --> 00:00:43,479
Speaker 1: You know.

17
00:00:43,520 --> 00:00:45,960
Speaker 2: The first time I ever laid eyes on you was

18
00:00:46,000 --> 00:00:49,240
Speaker 2: the film clip Lovely Hurts Without You. You look great

19
00:00:49,280 --> 00:00:52,080
Speaker 2: in your onesie. There were girls in haltered tops and

20
00:00:52,240 --> 00:00:55,640
Speaker 2: daisy Duke shorts swaying their bottoms from side to side.

21
00:00:55,680 --> 00:00:56,400
Speaker 5: What an image.

22
00:00:57,240 --> 00:00:59,440
Speaker 1: There was a world called forty years ago, forty fifty

23
00:00:59,480 --> 00:01:04,040
Speaker 1: years ago, so yeah, a long time ago. Yeah, that

24
00:01:04,160 --> 00:01:05,559
Speaker 1: was my first successful record.

25
00:01:05,959 --> 00:01:09,000
Speaker 3: And did you see did you see? Benson?

26
00:01:09,040 --> 00:01:12,200
Speaker 4: Byrne recently he was wearing the sam the same onesie

27
00:01:12,200 --> 00:01:13,720
Speaker 4: that you were wearing pretty much.

28
00:01:15,160 --> 00:01:17,280
Speaker 1: But but did he look as good as I did?

29
00:01:17,520 --> 00:01:19,679
Speaker 5: No, he certainly did not look as good as you.

30
00:01:20,480 --> 00:01:24,520
Speaker 2: The last are you going to be wearing that on

31
00:01:24,560 --> 00:01:24,920
Speaker 2: this tour?

32
00:01:25,680 --> 00:01:27,920
Speaker 1: I look back at that known thank god, how could you?

33
00:01:28,000 --> 00:01:31,560
Speaker 1: How could you could like that? I wouldn't do it now.

34
00:01:33,400 --> 00:01:35,959
Speaker 2: So forty years of some of the biggest hits we've

35
00:01:36,000 --> 00:01:39,720
Speaker 2: ever had, has the music industry changed or is something

36
00:01:39,840 --> 00:01:42,240
Speaker 2: still the same that these songs still hit their mark

37
00:01:42,319 --> 00:01:42,919
Speaker 2: all the time.

38
00:01:45,040 --> 00:01:49,360
Speaker 1: Well, some things are still the same. The people in

39
00:01:49,160 --> 00:01:52,560
Speaker 1: the people in the industry really don't understand what's going on.

40
00:01:52,600 --> 00:01:55,320
Speaker 1: They don't know what they're doing. That that that will

41
00:01:55,360 --> 00:01:59,960
Speaker 1: never change. But you know, certain things have changed. Technology,

42
00:02:01,440 --> 00:02:04,080
Speaker 1: the sort of approach the songs, the sort of the

43
00:02:04,120 --> 00:02:08,320
Speaker 1: methods of recording, the sort of the way we dress,

44
00:02:08,600 --> 00:02:10,920
Speaker 1: the way the girls dress, the wather. But yeah, it's

45
00:02:10,919 --> 00:02:13,800
Speaker 1: all going a bit, it's all going a little bit crazy.

46
00:02:13,800 --> 00:02:16,960
Speaker 1: But music, please go on. Music is music and you

47
00:02:17,080 --> 00:02:19,200
Speaker 1: have to accept the changes and accept it for what

48
00:02:19,280 --> 00:02:19,600
Speaker 1: it is.

49
00:02:20,040 --> 00:02:22,520
Speaker 4: And also the resurgence for your your stuff and a

50
00:02:22,520 --> 00:02:25,440
Speaker 4: lot of stuff from the eighties, the kids are right

51
00:02:25,560 --> 00:02:27,960
Speaker 4: into it now. But also when you look at things

52
00:02:28,000 --> 00:02:30,400
Speaker 4: like YouTube, you can quite easily just get any of

53
00:02:30,440 --> 00:02:32,760
Speaker 4: your stuff and just get on there and watch it

54
00:02:32,800 --> 00:02:33,400
Speaker 4: on YouTube.

55
00:02:34,360 --> 00:02:37,160
Speaker 1: Well that's good. I mean as far as YouTube and

56
00:02:37,200 --> 00:02:39,760
Speaker 1: everything is concerned, it's good. But as far as other

57
00:02:39,800 --> 00:02:43,480
Speaker 1: things are concerned. Where at one time there was like

58
00:02:44,560 --> 00:02:46,200
Speaker 1: you know, in England, we had something called Top of

59
00:02:46,240 --> 00:02:49,040
Speaker 1: the Pops, you had chart shows, you had all these

60
00:02:49,080 --> 00:02:52,160
Speaker 1: sort of different things which which kept people like myself

61
00:02:52,240 --> 00:02:56,320
Speaker 1: interested and and and and you know, it was a

62
00:02:56,400 --> 00:02:58,640
Speaker 1: sort of competitive thing. Now you don't really get that

63
00:02:58,720 --> 00:03:01,919
Speaker 1: so much with all this muddern technology, with streaming and

64
00:03:03,600 --> 00:03:05,920
Speaker 1: you two, all these different things really which really and

65
00:03:05,919 --> 00:03:08,720
Speaker 1: truly I don't really understand too much. But the one thing,

66
00:03:09,160 --> 00:03:11,480
Speaker 1: you know, the basic things I still understand, which you're

67
00:03:11,520 --> 00:03:14,400
Speaker 1: like trying to write a good song, trying to perform

68
00:03:14,639 --> 00:03:17,360
Speaker 1: a good you know, good shop, trying to when you

69
00:03:17,400 --> 00:03:20,359
Speaker 1: go into the studio, give it all you could give it,

70
00:03:20,400 --> 00:03:22,480
Speaker 1: give it your best, and you know, try and come

71
00:03:22,480 --> 00:03:25,560
Speaker 1: out with something that people will appreciate and that will

72
00:03:25,600 --> 00:03:26,120
Speaker 1: never change.

73
00:03:26,200 --> 00:03:26,440
Speaker 3: Please.

74
00:03:26,960 --> 00:03:29,080
Speaker 2: You spend a lot of time on the road, do

75
00:03:29,120 --> 00:03:31,080
Speaker 2: you when you get home, do you put your laundry

76
00:03:31,080 --> 00:03:33,160
Speaker 2: into a bag and leave it outside the door, forgetting

77
00:03:33,200 --> 00:03:34,600
Speaker 2: that you're actually not in a hotel.

78
00:03:36,880 --> 00:03:39,040
Speaker 1: No, when I get back, oh my god, you tell

79
00:03:39,080 --> 00:03:41,560
Speaker 1: me about it. I mean, I do all these things myself.

80
00:03:41,840 --> 00:03:44,200
Speaker 1: So I get back home, I'll get all my think.

81
00:03:44,240 --> 00:03:46,400
Speaker 1: The first thing I do is get my clothes cleaned,

82
00:03:46,520 --> 00:03:49,600
Speaker 1: basically my suits and everything else, and you know, and

83
00:03:49,880 --> 00:03:51,800
Speaker 1: put it down, because the longer you take it, the

84
00:03:51,840 --> 00:03:55,160
Speaker 1: longer you take to get things like that dumb. The

85
00:03:55,200 --> 00:03:58,200
Speaker 1: harder it, the harder it becomes. So that's what the

86
00:03:58,280 --> 00:04:00,480
Speaker 1: person they do. I get it all clean, at it all,

87
00:04:00,920 --> 00:04:03,280
Speaker 1: you know, pressed up nicely, and hang it on waiting

88
00:04:03,320 --> 00:04:04,840
Speaker 1: for the next events.

89
00:04:04,920 --> 00:04:09,160
Speaker 5: Gets your red onesie ready to go, normal.

90
00:04:08,640 --> 00:04:12,280
Speaker 4: Ones ones come on. Then the onesie has made a

91
00:04:12,280 --> 00:04:13,840
Speaker 4: resurgence because of you.

92
00:04:14,960 --> 00:04:20,760
Speaker 1: Know, normal ones. I don't know the figure.

93
00:04:21,279 --> 00:04:26,320

94
00:04:26,360 --> 00:04:27,719
Speaker 3: we're talking about laundry with you.

95
00:04:27,760 --> 00:04:30,719
Speaker 4: I like the idea of abiliation in his laundry using

96
00:04:30,800 --> 00:04:31,880
Speaker 4: tide washing powder.

97
00:04:31,960 --> 00:04:37,679
