Phagz on 45

Our new(ish) weekly feature on Popdose rolls on, as John C. Hughes and the world’s foremost Belinda Carlisle impersonator, a.k.a. his buddy Matty (or “Bearlinda,” if you prefer), knock back even more drinks and review some singles, homo style. This week your rainbeaux duo take a listen to songs by the Hives, Paul McCartney, the Escape Club, and She Wants Revenge while discussing Cathy Goddamn Dennis, the Three Men and a Baby boy, and Koko the hand-signing gorilla. Enjoy, and as always, MP3s of the songs are below so you can follow along at home.

The Hives — “Giddy Up!” (download)

Paul McCartney & Wings — “Mull of Kintyre” (download)

The Escape Club — “Call It Poison” (download)

    Actually, the Escape Club song that Matty's referring to is NOT “Shake for the Sheik”, but “I'll Be There”, from their 2nd album. SFTS barely cracked the Top 40, but IBT was a Top 10 hit. Don't ask me to explain why I know this….or to explain why I bought the “WIld Wild West” 45 when it came out.

    He starts talking about “I'll Be There,” but then he starts rambling about ANOTHER song that came in-between that and “Wild, Wild West” and I was drunk and ohgah, those Gummi Bearce were delish.

  • Bearlinda / Matty

    “rambling “? Whore.

    “She Wants Revenge” is such a stupid name for a band. They should have called themselves “I Wish I Was Joy Division.”

    Always better than XTube

    No mention of “Only The Rain”??? (that album is a secret shame of mine. one of many)

  • Maxus

    “Does any song deserve bagpipes?” Classic. At first I heard it as “Does Annie's Song deserve bagpipes”?

    You fill up my senses… squeek… like a night in a forest… squeek…

    I love the shot of “Rock Me Tonight” you close each episode with. So tawdry.

  • JohnHughes

    I love that you watch it the whole way thru!
