Roger's two months behind, but the comeback begins with a look at the hits of the summer Will Smith punched an alien and some Scots clones a sheep.

This week, Rich and Clint discuss the great songs written outside of 4/4. Most songs in popular music are in 4/4, but occasionally songwriters venture outside of what's familiar to our ears, and the odd time signature is a brilliant and critical component of the storytelling. Without getting too deep into the music theory, Rich and Clint highlight …

This time Roger goes back to the beginning of the 2nd Star Wars summer to check out the charts. He finds some metal about a plane that almost crashed, fake siblings kicking it old school, a punk who can't get service, music for a cosmic beach party, a one-hit wonder with a pedigree, an intentionally "stupid" movie theme, and a guy who went from yac…

This time Roger travels back to those simpler days when 25 years on the British throne was seen as an impressive accomplishment and we were in the final days of people finding words like "lightsaber" and "Wookiee" kind of odd. On the charts, you had some Caribbean calypso via South America and the Netherlands, a yacht rocker initiating the "relatio…

This time Roger goes back to a time when a guy named Johnny announced his retirement and started a war. On the charts, you had droney jealousy, successful soundalikes, old lust, funny cheese, a pop masterpiece, an Italian guy who didn't sing opera, and a dated come-on.

This time Roger looks at a time when moviegoers felt the need for speed, while TV viewers wondered why there was a dead guy in the shower.

This week, Rich and Clint take a suggestion from a listener in the UK - thanks Laraine! - and tackle this age old question - what's the best whistling in a song?

In 1978 space and aliens were the hottest trend in pop culture. They were dominating the movies, and the TV and music industries wanted in on it too.

Will the Carpenters tea…

This time Roger goes back to a time when a Swedish quartet was winning with an ode to a big historic loss. On the charts, a tune about a hot-button issue was flopping, while more successful songs included a paean to sex in the sand, a tearjerker by a funnyman who would later be accused of consuming a rodent, an invitation to deception, a tribute to…

This time Roger goes back four score and eight April Fool's Days.

This time Roger goes back to a time of heavy weather and heavy messages in sitcoms (don't make Doobie Brothers bootlegs, kids).
