Finally, The Old Man is back with more of his unique perspective on pop of the past. This time he looks at the hits of a month in which brutalizing house guests meant box office. There's gothiness, CanCon, returning teen idols, a song to look for a murderer in an odd Pacific Northwest town by, a rapping, crying soccer star, and a hit that is practically synonymous with early 90s cheese. YouTube has all the songs and the background: https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PLDWLXjsOJPQnNsq2SN9LWoKvLHeIbLHT_&si=MpSPUgLrQBvyLy0_ Support the show on Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/oldmanyellsatmusic?view_as=patron And find all the links on Linktree: https://linktr.ee/oldmanyellsatmusic This episode may or may not improve your ability to stop, elaborate and/or listen.

This time Roger looks back at a time when Sam Malone + Thomas Magnum + Carey Mahoney = blockbuster. The hits of the moment included a Ray Charles cover by a Tipper Gore target, a military exercise, a matrimonial anthem, lovers who show varying degrees of devotion, accompaniment for women writhing on automobiles, and an operatic rocker meeting the real thing.

Another one so soon? Roger's really pressing to get even close to caught up, so here he is again to talk about the hits of the month Bo Derek became a thing. There's punk destruction, sappy closing credits music, mixed feelings about the wireless, counterintuitive action, a band's other dirty-minded hit, and a twangy boat trip.

This time Roger looks back at the CanUKUS hits from the month when the movies helped make Jack Skellington and Rudy Ruettiger household names. The charts featured some bedroom boasting, reefer-fueled madness, anti-consumerist Swedish rap, an icon's first major pop hit, possibly the best disco hit of the 90s, and that song that those guys on that show did that thing to.

Finally, Roger returns with an episode about the hits of the month when Madonna truly began her legend. There's two songs sort of about coke, a victim of the prejudices of the time, superstar indulgent pretentiousness, British wedding music, and political wrestling. https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PLDWLXjsOJPQlNQW_EpDr7O9JXah8_lZrM&si=Eji6cKXrFq_G7A65 and https://www.patreon.com/oldmanyellsatmusic/about and https://linktr.ee/oldmanyellsatmusic are the links. Don't believe John Waite. I was missing you.

Roger is way behind on the chart shows, and the latest attempt to catch up begins 51 years ago. There's a tale of a post-apocalyptic Big Apple, a legend's shockingly successful genitalia joke, an ode to a biker chick, primitive electronic music, the prog beginnings of a metal legend, and one of the biggest downers to ever hit #1. Get out of the road, clear the smoke from your eyes, and take the knife out of your back to enjoy this episode.

For his latest celebration of Spooky Season, Roger changes things up. First, he invites his comedian brother on to discuss this year's subject. And second, that subject is not a TV show but rather a theatrically released movie: 1986's Trick or Treat, the story of a teenage boy who brings his favorite heavy metal singer back to life by playing a record backwards. We discuss the cast, the acting, the effects, the plot holes, and of course the soundtrack. And many Simpsons and wrestling references are made. So have a listen. And then play it backwards...if you're not a wuss.

This time Roger looks at the hits from a time when America's final answer for entertainment was watching a kid who saw dead people. There was room boomin', love seekin', bottom droppin', view sharin', war profiteerin', and farewell smoochin'. You will have my love if you listen to this one.

This time Roger looks back 35 years to a month when the Brat Pack went west and Public Enemy went to prison...for a few hours. The hits of the day included second-generation reggae, a fine Springsteen knockoff, a revived Motown chestnut, a solo Go-Go (not that one), and a guy who could, and perhaps should, have been a superstar. Oh, and Roger tries to explain Michael Jackson's psyche. Start a good tradition by listening to this episode.

This time Roger goes back to a time when he was about a month away from starting kindergarten. While a shark gobbled up moviegoers' dollars, radios were playing songs about a nobody dreaming of a glittery future, the danger of firearms (by a band from the American South, no less), blabbermouth vegetation, a horse that definitely did have a name, sexy furniture, tropical vacation fantasies, and a mispronounced word made famous by TV. So join the Old Man as he sorts all of it out and gives his semi-informed opinions on the hits from the middle of the summer of '75. It will not be a wasted hour.

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. There was bilingual rap, a thwarted tryst, a teenage torch singer, a tune to drop from the ceiling by, and some Eastern dabbling from the child of a child star. This episode loves you all.

The tournament to crown the most Uneasy Riderish US Top 40 hit continues with a bracket containing songs about school kids, songs by school kids, good days, wishes, girls, losers, sunshine, units of time, being famous, self-identification, breakfast, trailers and more.

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 yacht rock to riding with wrestlers. Warning: listening to this episode may cause some kind of ecstasy to get a hold on you.

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 "relationship talk," a lady questioning her soon-to-be-ex-roomie's questionable baked goods habits, a gentleman having dream sex with his future, disco dancing danger, a song inspired by nudity that inspired puppetry, and a dude who won't touch a potential one-night-stand because he knows where she's been. And more. So grab your things and let this episode take you home.

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. The chart hits of the day included a returning rock original, musty Britishness, some seaworthy Swiss pop, metalheads showing their compassionate side, a top-tier one hit wonder, bland "country," and multiple stars of the telly singing for or about important causes.

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. This is how we ended up with Karen and Richard Carpenter meeting some far out extraterrestrial beings played by...a blow-dried All American type and a buxom blonde sitcom star. Will the Carpenters teach the Pluterians the magic of music? Is Charlie Callas a robosexual? And who's on The Love Boat this week?

Roger continues to run behind on his episodes, but while he works on his current Turn On Tune In Rock Out Episode, he's offering one of his Patreon-only Microdose episodes for free in exchange for your patience. To accompany the Halloween episode about punk-themed TV episodes, he had a look at the time John Belushi got his favorite LA punk band booked on a Halloween edition of SNL, and the chaos that ensued.

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 a booty-shaking apparatus, and a singing nun who became the most successful singing nun since...The Singing Nun.

This time Roger goes back four score and eight April Fool's Days. While moviegoers were being introduced to a fat man in a little coat, the charts contained a trip-hop ode to uniqueness, a Britpop awakening, a cover of a Japanese translation, a premium 90s party-starter, and some all-star metaphorical engineering.
