Episode Setup And Listener Submissions

SPEAKER_01 0:53

Welcome back to another Super Awesome Mix. My name is Matt Sidholm, alongside my co-host and co-founder of Super Awesome Mix, Samar Abusalbi. Samur, how are we doing this week?

SPEAKER_00 1:04

Doing real well. Good. Yes, in the throes of summer at this point.

SPEAKER_01 1:10

The throes of summer, yes. It is almost exactly the midpoint of the year. Uh actually, I guess we're past the midpoint, but the midpoint of summer, I should say. Um just about the middle of July here. Um and this week we don't have one guest. We have all the guests, okay? Because all of our great Instagram followers helped us create a summer playlist.

SPEAKER_00 1:34

Yeah, this was a lot of fun, actually. Um we really appreciate all of the entries. We got a lot of great songs, um, some classic ones, some ones that I actually hadn't heard, but now, you know, have been listening to, um, which is the nature of the mixtape. So, yeah, so as we go along, we're actually going to um be shouting out the people who submitted these great tracks. And then Matt and I also, you know, picked a couple ourselves because we just couldn't help ourselves.

90s Nostalgia And City Summer Vibes

SPEAKER_01 1:59

Yeah, so we picked four, each of us fit picked four of the um Instagram suggestions. And then we added two of our own. And then if you are part of our Patreon, you will get an additional two picks from each of us as the uh as the bonus tracks. But we will get to that later. Um so for right now, let's get into uh this special super awesome mixtape submitted by um our listeners.

SPEAKER_00 2:30

Yeah, alright. So up first is just such an amazing um pick by Mal Hardnand. Hart I'm mispronouncing that last name. Harnand. Harndon. Harndon. You know, it's not as hard as it as I made it seem at first at first glance. I feel like there's just something about reading last names where like our brains just stop, you know. Um anyway, strong opening. Summer Girls by LFO.

SPEAKER_01 2:56

Yeah, so when I looked at the list of suggestions, I I had to pick that one, and not just because she may or may not be my sister-in-law, but also because this is just a great song. It came out uh right when I graduated college. And uh I think the lyrics here are um something we could dive into a little bit. Like one one part of it is he keeps talking about how Chinese food makes him sick. Right. And I'm kind of like, that's probably just a bad experience with Chinese food just the one time. And not, I mean, it must have been a very traumatic experience for him to just dismiss all Chinese food rather than just I won't go to that Chinese restaurant.

SPEAKER_00 3:37

Right. I do have a question about that too. Uh like, is he just continuing to go back to that place and just it's like, oh, this food just keeps making me sick? Because Yeah.

SPEAKER_01 3:45

No, why yeah, does he keep torturing himself, right? It's the same mistake over and over again. The other thought I had was this is about the summer, and when it's 95 degrees outside, who's looking around and going, I can go for some low main right now, who's with me? The spicier the better. That's what I love in the summer. Orange chicken? Anyone? No? Okay, okay. Yeah, it just seems really odd that he would connect this with summer. The the other thing that point that stuck out to me in the lyrics is he makes a reference to his man, Mr. Limpet. Okay, do you know what that's a reference to? I do not. Okay. And I had to dig deep for this one because it's not apparent. Okay, there was a 1954 movie starring Don Knotts.

SPEAKER_00 4:34

Okay.

SPEAKER_01 4:35

Okay, called The Amazing Mr. Limpet, and I think it's about a man who turns into like a fish or something like that. Um, but the movie was like 50 years prior to this song coming out. And I mean, I still haven't seen the movie even 20 years after this song came out. So now the movie's coming up, you know, it's almost 70 years old. Who's listening to this and going, man, that's a great reference? Like not one person I knew in 1999 was referencing this Don Knotts movie, let alone anything by Don Knotts, right? Right. And this guy decides to throw it into his his you know big debut rap song. So um, but there's no doubt this song reminds people of summer. So it had to be on this mix.

SPEAKER_00 5:23

100%. I mean, it was released June 29th, 1999, and like I just can't think that is peak 90s, you know. Like we've lived almost that full decade, and this song really just nails it, you know, like Cherry Pez, Coke, and Crush, Abercrombie and Fitch, like just naming all of these wonderful things from the 90s. My other favorite thing that just makes me chuckle is the line, you know, Billy Shakespeare wrote a whole bunch of sonnets. You know, I mean, like, for sure, he's like, Oh, you know what would be really funny? Instead of calling him William, let's call him Billy.

SPEAKER_01 5:58

Or he may have done some genealogy research and like might be a distant relative to where he felt comfortable enough calling him Billy. Cousin Billy. He wrote a bunch of people. Great Uncle Billy. He he did some writing up in the attic, I think. Look, check it out. Yeah, he's very comfortable with Mr. Shakespeare. Yeah, I call him Mr. Shakespeare because I don't know him that well.

SPEAKER_00 6:21

Yes, that's his formal handle. Yes.

SPEAKER_01 6:23

Um okay, so that's a strong opening track. Now, now track two, we go to Rooftop Dancing by Sylvan Esso. Shout out to at D Wade5 who made this suggestion.

SPEAKER_00 6:36

Yes. Um, so I put my mix together kind of starting lower energy and then finishing with like a crescendo of energy because I always feel like my summertimes kind of start that way. I have so many vivid memories of whenever I was in grade school, like, you know, we'd go to the last day of class, you get home, and it was supposed to be this like big moment of like, oh my god, I've got the whole summer ahead of me. But then it was just like a whole bunch of nothing, you know, like you're just kind of bored and it's a little anticlimactic. Um, and it takes a little while to get into the groove of like you're not being in school. So that's why I picked um I listened to this song, and I think that this song kind of does that too. Um, and I love Sylvan Esso. Um, she has just like such an interesting, unique sound, uh, and a lot of her tracks kind of follow this vibe, you know, they're all just kind of like layers and layers and loops, and they build on themselves. And um, this is also just like a cool city track because rooftops I've learned, especially like if you're in a city like New York, are kind of like the equivalent to pools in other places. Like you just want a friend with a rooftop in the same way that you want a friend with a pool, like in the suburbs, because there's nothing else to do in the summer, you know, like you just basically need to escape the heat. And so, you know, in Texas it was always a pool. Here in the city, I'm learning you want to, you know, hit like leave the concrete and and go up on a on a rooftop.

SPEAKER_01 7:49

So that's interesting. Yeah, I've never had that rooftop experience. Yeah. I bet that's uh Is it is it hotter on the rooftop, or does you do you really get some relief?

SPEAKER_00 7:59

You get some relief. Um you know, especially if you get higher up, obviously. Um and there's usually a nice like breeze, and at least that gets you kind of cooled off. Um so yeah, it's nice. But I will definitely say if I had to rank them, I'm gonna put pool first and then rooftop second.

SPEAKER_01 8:17

So a pool is cooler than a surface covered by tar, is what you're telling me.

SPEAKER_00 8:24

Listen, man, there was we've we've replacing we're replacing the tar. All right. There was like a proposal done by a mayor, I forget which one. Yeah. But we're trying to not have tar on our roof to burn through our rubber soled shoes because it's so hot. Yeah. It's great. Progress. Progress. It's progress. Progress. I love it. But yes, this was a cool song. I like this a lot. Um, track three. We've got um another D-Wade 5 submission. Um, and we've got Feels Like Summer by Weezer.

SPEAKER_01 8:58

Yeah, this was um, you know, this is it's funny. This song has this really upbeat, uh, it's a good rock song, really upbeat chorus, but then you know, you dig into the lyrics and you know, it's a little bit about like people going away. It's kind of the summer, kind of like hearkening back to your graduation mix, how it was sort of like people moving apart, right? And and sort of the uh the the theme there. Um that's almost what um this evokes. It's uh, you know, because during the summertime you wouldn't you wouldn't see people. I know when I was growing up, you know, we didn't have social media, there were no phone, you know, there were no cell phones, anything like that, where people can just be constantly in touch now. You know, in the summer you'd you'd see people people go away and then they'd come back to school in the fall, they'd look completely different. Um yeah, this song really kind of invokes that same thing where it's like people sort of moving apart and moving away from each other.

SPEAKER_00 9:52

Yeah, it's um that's exactly kind of what I wrote here that it's it's so it's a classic weezer sound, right? Um love the chorus, like just love the beat and everything, but then yeah, it's it's melancholy. Um just kind of whenever you know the lyrics and you're listening to it, you do just kind of feel like a little melancholy. But um I at first I thought, by the way, in your comment just now that you said there were no phones, like period. And I thought, like, wow, well, yeah, I knew you were older, but I didn't I caught myself. Yeah, I caught my didn't realize you're that old.

SPEAKER_01 10:21

I'm 144 years old. Yeah.

SPEAKER_00 10:24

We had to send a letter. That was the only way.

SPEAKER_01 10:29

Look, it took me two months to train that carrier pigeon, and he was my best friend growing up and delivered all my notes impeccable.

SPEAKER_00 10:38

Good old Perry the Pigeon. Yeah.

Sunny Songs With Darker Lyrics

SPEAKER_01 10:40

Perry the pigeon. Um, all right, let's keep the summer mix rolling. Next up, we have Solar Power by Lord. Now, this was one of your picks, Samura, right?

SPEAKER_00 10:52

Yes, yes. So this was uh an original, if you will. Um I I I d I won't. I mean, if you will, that's great. I'm not going to. Anyway, so I wanted to pick something that was um, you know, very recently released. I feel like we do a lot of music that's like a little throwback. Um, and I wanted to kind of challenge myself to pick something that had just come out um, you know, certainly this year, but this is just like a month old. Uh it's a new single off of her upcoming album. I think it releases later this year in September. Um, and it's great. Like I love, I love her music, and I love what she's done with this track. It's just kind of, again, her incredible voice, um, really fun lyrics. Um, I love just the beginning of it. You know, I hate the winter, can't stand the cold, I tend to cancel all the plans, and then she just kind of off the track says, like, so sorry, I can't make it. Um, and it's just got like such a fun little summer vibe. And so I think like, you know, it's certainly made its way into my uh summer repertoire, and and I I feel like five years down the road I'm gonna be listening to it and think back to to this exact summer because of it.

SPEAKER_01 11:54

Yeah, Lord is incredible just in general, but I mean she really got me with that opening line, I hate the winter. Because after living up north for three years, that's what I grew to really hate was the winter. So I'm I'm completely with her on this song. Yes. All about the heat, all about the sun.

SPEAKER_00 12:13

Yeah. It's so funny because I'm I'm the opposite, and the more the more winters we get, the more I love it. Um, and so I can't relate with her opening line, but I'm I'm trying to learn to appreciate that summer has its own charms as well. Having said that, it is like a billion degrees right now, and I'm dying. I just want to not be in this anymore. Um, but yes, great track by Lord. Um can't wait for her full album. I think it's gonna be really good. So, alright, track five, your pick. Um, coming to us from David Scott Brown. Uh that was his suggestion. It is Sunny Afternoon by the Kinks.

SPEAKER_01 12:53

Yeah, I loved the vibe of this song. It's written by the great Ray Davies, and it's just this fun chorus, being lazy on a sunny afternoon. But then again, you get I got I did a little research into the lyrics and and what was behind this, and they were actually kind of lamenting the super high tax rates in Great Britain at the time. Right, almost like the Beatles and the tax man song. You know, they had this, and they were just talking about how the government's taking away all all their money, and then there's also this verse in there about his girlfriend running off and you know, some insinuation about alcoholism. So, you know, but I just said we all have weird memories of summer. So I guess that's cool. But uh it it does feel like a happy song. So just don't go read the lyrics, just listen to the kinks and enjoy it.

SPEAKER_00 13:42

Yes, yeah. I love the line, I can't sail my yacht. He's taken everything I've got. Yeah. Um, because it is kind of like cheeky, I think, and is meant to be of just like someone who has like a lot and you're you know lamenting the tax man taking away your money or whatever, even though you've got a yacht and like all these other luxuries in life. Um and then I also love the line lazing on a sunny afternoon. And I wasn't sure, is lazing a word? I guess I could have looked it up.

SPEAKER_01 14:09

Or is this I think to laze, yeah. I think you can laze. I think that's a verb. So lazing should follow. Yeah. I need to do that. I mean, if there's more grammar professionals out there who want to correct us, please feel free to let us know. Yeah. Yeah.

SPEAKER_00 14:24

Drop us drop us a DM. Or no, sorry, slide into our DMs. It just sounds so creepy.

SPEAKER_01 14:29

I mean, I can't do math. So like I I I'm not great at English, but I feel like I'm okay. Right?

SPEAKER_00 14:35

Yeah, that comes across in the podcast. It does. No, I I get that.

SPEAKER_01 14:39

I get that. This is not professional. Um all right, moving on, track six, okay. And uh third entry into the mix by at D Wade 5. Okay, he did a great job making some suggestions. He got three into the mix. So strong work there. It's almost like he's our guest on the podcast. I feel like she, by the way. Absolutely. Oh, excuse me. Yes, excuse me. Yes, she You know why I said he, because when I see D. Wade, I immediately think of former NBA player Dwayne. Yes, that's fair. So that's that's what popped into my head. Um, but we're gonna have the same title as the Weezer Weezer song, Feels Like Summer, but this time the entry is Childish Gambino.

SPEAKER_00 15:18

Yes. Um it's funny because this would have made my mix anyway. So I'm I'm really pleased that she suggested it um and immediately had to had to add it whenever I saw that. And it's funny because again, this goes into one of those, you know, many, many songs we've discussed where at first you listen to it and the vibe of it is like it's a summertime vibe. Like you you play it and you just kind of feel like it's super chill and you want to listen to a pool side or you know on a rooftop. Um but then you look into the lyrics and you understand like what he's writing about. And it's actually kind of like a song all about he he talks about climate change, about the lack of water, colony collapse with bees with the increased crime rate, um, all of these kind of like problems, and he's talking about how hopelessness can lead to inaction. Um he does have a message of hope there, right? Which is like, so don't you know don't get hopeless, like we can still solve all of this. But um it's just kind of an amazing message that is embedded in just a really great kind of summertime pop feeling song. Um, so yeah, wonderful, wonderful entry. And definitely learned a lot about that song because I never really paid enough attention to realize that was what was going on.

SPEAKER_01 16:23

Yeah, I think he performed this on Saturday Night Live uh when he went on there as a musical guest. And I think I remember it being just this whole like he had a stage full of people and there was like a play going on as the song was playing, and um it it was just really unique, um, on top of the music being really good, but just the overall performance was was pretty uh incredible too. And if you ever get a chance to check out any of his music videos, they're also pretty impressive as well. So that's worth seeking out.

SPEAKER_00 16:54

He um he is honestly so talented, and it's funny because I knew him, um Donald Glover, I believe is his name, first as the as the actor on community. Yeah, same here. And and then my friends sent me, they were like, Oh my god, look what I found on YouTube, and it was these videos of him rapping. Um uh Freaks and Geeks was the first time I listened to him. And it was like, oh my god, this guy is can can rap. I had no idea. I thought he was just like a comedy actor. Um, and now I feel like he's kind of like successfully rebranded himself as as fully, you know, a rap artist, um, and has really so many great albums. Uh so yeah, pretty impressive.

Classic Anthems And Pure Pop

SPEAKER_01 17:30

Yeah, really impressive.

SPEAKER_00 17:32

Alright, moving on to track seven. This is one of your picks, and you've got just an all-time great summer song, Summertime, by DJ Jazzy Jeff and the Fresh Prince.

SPEAKER_01 17:44

Yeah, this came out uh the summer before my uh eighth grade year of school. Um, and I was at Derek Harper basketball camp. So Derek Harper, you know, shout out to New York. He played for the Knicks for a while, he played for the Mavericks at the time. And I remember we saw the latest Mavericks draft pick, Randy White, who's supposed to be like, of course, every year, you know, every team drafts whomever in any league, and they think this is gonna be the guy who turns around the team. Uh, and he went rolling by in like a brand new, you know, Mercedes or some luxury car, and he had this song just blasting out of the car, and we're like, man, this is the coolest thing ever because that's gonna be the next great NBA player. And uh anyway, he was terrible and washed out after like four years in the league. So no, it didn't really work out, but this is still a great song, okay? Like that part of the story didn't change, okay? Yes. Um, yeah, no, just just an awesome song. Obviously, you know, Will Smith is really smart in what he puts out there. Yes. You know, make sure that all of it kind of resonates and uh lasts. I mean, I just watched Independence Day recently.

SPEAKER_00 18:53

Me too. It's one of my classic summertime movies.

SPEAKER_01 18:58

It is. It's just timeless, just like this song. So um yeah, how could it not be on the summer playlist?

SPEAKER_00 19:05

Yes, I agree. And I love the sampling of Summer Madness uh by Cool and the Gang, which is also a great summertime song. Um, so if you've not heard that one, that's like the backing track with that like whiny sound that gets whinier in the back. Oh, it's so good. Which actually reminds me, uh, my memory of that, funny enough, is from the um video game GTA Vice City, so Grand Theft Auto. Um, because that was, I think, one of their promo videos uh of like you know the character driving around and essentially Miami listening to this song. It says great. But yeah, nice, awesome.

SPEAKER_01 19:36

Um all right, so we go to track eight, um, Good Time by Al City and Carly Ray Jepson, and this was suggested by at Rick Rolled by Ricky, um, which is an awesome Instagram handle. Um and a great song. I I heard this and I was like, oh, I've definitely heard this. Where have I heard this, right? And uh, of course, it's been used in both Hotel Transylvania and Wreck It Ralph, so two movies my kids have seen. So that's that's how I ran into this song, but really fun song.

SPEAKER_00 20:06

It is a really fun song, yeah. It reached number eight on Billboard, so it was like a pretty big, pretty big run. Um, great summertime pop song. I also love Owl City. Like, I feel like that could have been on our second hit Wonders because I think they're really well known for Firefly, but yeah, they just have like a lot of really like great hits. Um, the other really fun fact about Owl City is that they did the sound design behind most of the iPhone like pings and alarms and and like all of those ever since I think iOS like six or seven when they did like a major refresh. Um so they weren't responsible for like you know the early iOS sounds like the duck quacking and like the alarm that sounds like the end of the world is coming. But they did like the you know, like all of those little sounds would you really hear it? Like if you listen to the song, this one, or Owl City, or sorry, Fireflies, and then play those songs, you're like, Yeah, okay, a hundred percent he produced those.

SPEAKER_01 20:57

You see the crossover, you see that's amazing, you know, that they get like high-level musicians to come in and do sounds for the phone.

Constructive Summers Plus Covers Worth Hearing

SPEAKER_00 21:04

Yeah, yeah, it's really wild, right? Um, but yeah, I love it. And it's like it unlike some of the other tracks, you know, we've gone through, this is just a very straightforward summer anthem, and like you're going out and you know, whatever makes you happy and all that kind of good stuff. So there's no hidden message about colony collapse here. You can you can listen stress-free. Um all right, let's let's move on to track nine. This is another one of your picks. You've got Constructive Summer by The Hold Steady.

SPEAKER_01 21:36

Yeah, so we've done a lot of episodes of this podcast, and this is the first song by The Hold Steady that I've put on a mix, which I'm a little surprised about because I really like their music. Um, but this one's this is a great one about summer. And uh the thing I love about this one, I think this one is overall pretty positive, although you it may not come across in the voice uh the entire time. But um, you know, he talks about we can do something great, you know, like we can do something, and you know, that is kind of part of being in the summer too, is like I talked earlier in the summer when you'd go away from somebody, you know, in school or or whatever the case may be, and then you had all this time off. And it's like, what are you gonna do? And uh it's funny, earlier, uh just a couple weeks ago, my daughter asked me, Do do adults have summers off? And I was like, Nope, we we never have summers off. And she's like, Ugh, you know, like that sounds terrible. And I was like, It is. It really is. It is, in fact, terrible, yes. Yeah. So when she gets older, I'm gonna encourage her to have a constructive summer and really do something with her time.

SPEAKER_00 22:40

I love that. No, it's so true. Um, two thoughts come to mind. One, I do think that like New Year's would be better suited in the summer. You know, we should just like rearrange that because um, you know, it's it is that time of like growth and that's you know, the harvest is next, right? But summertime is when everything literally grows after the spring season.

SPEAKER_01 22:59

That's a great point.

SPEAKER_00 23:00

Um, and then the other thought that I had is that your your daughter asking that question reminded me of the scene of Billy Madison where like the little kid is talking to him and is like, you know, something along the lines of how he wants to be an adult or grow up and and leave. And Billy grabs him out of St. Louis, grabs him by you know the shoulders, is like, never leave this place. Yes. Stay here as long as you can.

SPEAKER_01 23:22

Stay here forever. Yes. That's exactly right. That's exactly right. No, that's perfect. Um okay, moving on, we're up to track 10. Um, you picked, I think this was one of your picks, is it? Yes. Yes, it is. Uh, The Boys of Summer by the Ataris. Um, and of course, The Boys of Summer originally done by Don Henley. And I like this version that you picked because it's got kind of a harder guitar riff to it than the original had, kind of in a similar vein to um when Alien Ant Farm redid Smooth Criminal by Michael Jackson. And that was kind of hard to guitar. Um that's what I felt like here. I kinda I really like this version.

SPEAKER_00 24:05

Yeah. So yes, so someone did actually suggest that the Don Henley version, but I wanted to, you know, do that again, pick that song, but then think of a cover, you know, because we always talk about covers and and like the joy of that, because hopefully that gets you to discover like potentially a new group. Um, and so hopefully you go out and listen to the Ataris and really like them. Um I was obsessed with the Ataris. So listening to this song and and many other off of uh the album back then just brings me right back to I think it was like my late high school, early college. Um they're just great, they have a wonderful sound. Um, this is a yeah, cool cover of of The Boys of Summer, um, which is a yeah, really nice summer song. You know, it's all about reminiscing, remembering the good times, the great love of like a summertime fling, and um it really is just kind of like a fun song to put it on, crank it up, and possibly, you know, drive around and enjoy it. Great, great song by the Ataris.

SPEAKER_01 24:58

Yeah, great, great original song by Don Henley, and then you know, great cover. Some covers are a little unnecessary, but I felt like uh this one was well done.

SPEAKER_00 25:06

Yeah. Alright, track eleven. Um, we've got a pick, Kokomo. So this was actually given to us, I think, um, by let's see, Z Z Z. Got in E. Z Z. I I don't know how to how to phonetically say that out loud. I don't know either. I'm glad you had to read it and not me. Um, but yes, Kokomo. But you picked uh you picked a really interesting cover uh as well. So this is actually by a French folk pop duo, Lily Wood and the Prick.

SPEAKER_01 25:38

Yeah, so the suggestion was Kokomo and the extended dance mix or the dub version, and so I just kind of went down this rabbit hole of covers of Kokomo, and I found this one. You're right, like they're a French folk duo, and it's you know, even though Kokomo is not like a real high-energy song, right? Right. Like you remember the video, they're on the beach, the island. This actually kind of brings the mood down even slower, I feel like, right? And so when I was thinking about constructing this mix, I thought I had this vision in the end of kind of a sunset, right? End of the day, end of summer type thing. And I thought this version of Kokomo was like even cooler to play in that type of setting.

SPEAKER_00 26:22

I love that. That's really cool. It's funny that you wanted to go down in energy and I wanted to go up in energy. I really I like that. Um the the really funny note that I just had to laugh to myself whenever I was reading about this is that someone very specifically wanted to count to point out there is a Kokomo in Indiana, and this song is not about that city. Like and they capitalize not, like it was really emphatic that it is not in fact about Indiana.

SPEAKER_01 26:52

Yeah, I bet the Beach Boys get a lot of letters every year from Kokomo, Indiana going, You've completely mischaracterized our town. How dare you, Mike Love?

SPEAKER_00 27:05

Oh goodness. But it's so it is kind of disappointing because I grew up listening to the Beach Boy song, as I'm sure lots of people did. Um, and you do, you're like, I I can't wait. I'm gonna make enough money one day, I'm gonna head on down to Kokomo and take my take my vacation there. And then you know, you reach the age where you look it up and realize it does not actually exist.

Glam Metal Finale And Patreon Tease

SPEAKER_01 27:24

Yeah, it's tragic. You're just stuck in the middle of Indiana. That's what that's what ends up happening. Fulfilling a childhood dream in some weird way. Yeah. Um, all right, we get to track 12, the final song. Um, and you know, you talked about, you know, I I kind of brought the energy down. You brought the energy way up. At Punk Rick Dad suggested this one, Nothing but a Good Time by Poison.

SPEAKER_00 27:51

Yes. Oh my gosh, what a great song. I mean, if you don't have like the chorus in your head, just like pause for a second and go play that song because you'll immediately hear it and you'll just start to sing it at the top. I won't do it here because there's no way that I could do it justice. Um but it's like it's glam metal, you know, it's it was out in the late 80s, I think it released in 88. Um, such a straightforward, like good time anthem. You really do just want to like sing along with it and and just crank it up and and and have a great time. Yeah, it's it's such a great song.

SPEAKER_01 28:24

Yeah, you talked about you know uh LFO and Summer Girls sort of encapsulating the 90s with just that one song. I feel like nothing but a good time kind of encapsulates the era it was in, kind of in that late 80s glam rock sort of thing.

SPEAKER_00 28:39

Mm-hmm. Yeah, it's great. And the music video apparently, so it's a guy washing dishes and then like being kind of yelled at by his boss, so then he like leaves and goes performs on a stage and then comes back, um, or doesn't come back, but the boss comes back, and suddenly all the dishes are washed, to his like surprise. Who who did the dishes? When did those get done? That's the greatest mystery of my lifetime now. I'm gonna find out.

SPEAKER_01 29:03

By the way, that was also the plot of every Twisted Sister video. Was someone just not taking it anymore? You know, like they had we're not gonna take it, but I think they use that same theme in like all their videos to kind of really stick it to people.

SPEAKER_00 29:20

Yeah, take that guy. I'm not doing your dishes.

SPEAKER_01 29:24

I'm not doing anything, man. Except putting on makeup and stuff. Uh we'll get into Twisted Sister another day. Um, Samura, I want to point something. So that was the last song in our listener-contributed um summer super awesome mix. But did you notice something about my pics, Samura?

SPEAKER_00 29:45

Um, no, I didn't.

SPEAKER_01 29:47

Well, I want a little credit for this. That's why I'm pointing it out. Okay, there was not a Bruce Springsteen song. Oh my goodness, you're right. So the question is for the listeners out there, will it show up in the bonus tracks? I don't know, but the only way they can find out, how are they gonna find out?

SPEAKER_00 30:03

I think they have to be a Patreon follower and supporter. They do. Yeah, yeah, yeah.

SPEAKER_01 30:08

To see if the streak continues. So um might be worth your money to check out and check into the bonus tracks.

SPEAKER_00 30:16

I definitely agree. I think it is. Um that's awesome. But you're absolutely right, there's no Bruce on this main mix.

SPEAKER_01 30:23

Yeah, very strange. Very strange. Um, well, if you want to sign up for our Patreon or check out our merch, you can go to superawesomix.com and you can get the links there. Um, also, where can they find us on social media?
