Classic Rock Battles - The Limey & the Yank

Nearly through - are you feeling the love? Spreading the love, spreading the joy, we hope you love the 1960s and songs of love as much as we do.

We continue our journey through the love of the 1960s, spreading happiness and love all around

We're back! Just in time for Valentine's Day we drop a bombshell set of episodes - Love Songs of the 1960s.

It's a big day for Steve! Join our Jubilation Celebration of the Island Nation's Coronation Situation! We celebrate with silly behavior and royalty-themed music.

It's a big day for Steve! Join our Jubilation Celebration of the Island Nation's Coronation Situation! We celebrate with silly behavior and royalty-themed music.

As we wrap up our look at the famous musicans whose parents were also famous musicians, we can't help but think about how delightful it must be to grow up with musical talent and encouragement and yet how hard it also must be to step out of mom or dad's shadow and do things your own way. We celebrate these hard-working entertainers for all their efforts to bring better music to the world.

We share some great examples of the children of musicians who went on to themselves become famous musicians.

We go further into the very famous, their famous kids, and how a good legacy can bring good music across the generations.

We've been waiting to do this one for quite a while! Let's talk about how famous musicians have children who in turn grow up to be famous musicians! It's a huge industry, and as they say, 'The apple doesn't fall far from the tree.' Some amazing talent came from learning beside mom or dad, and we love being able to share that with you.

We wrap up sharing with you a lot of later-career songs and appearances that you may not have heard of. Did you know she did a song with her daughter? Did you catch her appearance on the TV show 'Glee'? Did you know she released albums through Hallmark? Yes, the greeting card and movie company--that Hallmark.

Beyond 'Grease', beyond 'Xanadu', we have a singer who truly cared about others and tried to make the world a better place.

Olivia! We Honestly Love You! Stepping into the '80s we get Xanadu, and we get Physical--hey, it's healthy!--and we go through all the pop hits too.

We were sad to hear of Olivia Newton-John's passing and felt it very important to share how much of her career beyond the iconic movie 'Grease' leaves a legacy

And so we wrap up with a reminder that if Europe flies to Venus, they'll be very disappointed with the weather up there. Looking ahead, there's hope. We have each other and together we'll get through this thing called 'history in the making'. Until next time! Because there will BE a next time!

David Bowie! Bob Dylan! Jimmie Rodgers! One of these things is not like the other...but that's okay, they all worry about the world. Or, in the case of Jimmie Rodgers, at least America. Maybe the Korean War, maybe the Vietnam War, maybe any one of the dozens of other wars that have taken place around the world in the last 75 years. Let's see how far we get when we think about the way the world turns.

Thought about the Apocalypse lately? Maybe in 1980s terms? Nena says it's very very super-scary...but she also says that everyone's a superhero, everyone's a Captain Kirk! So we should get through this.

It was a long summer break, but through it all, we knew the world wouldn't end...and now we're here to make sure you know it too! Things may seem rough right now, but we'll get through it because we always have. Inspired by the Billy Joel song "We Didn't Start the Fire", we wrap some past and present looks at the world around some great trivia and positive fun.

An amazing talent whose star is rising, Michelle "Shimmer" Johnson takes the time to tell us all about her music career, her metal band Circle the Wolves, and her favorite female artists who inspire her the most. Join us, learn a lot about the music industry, and hear some great new music!

Well, now the cat is out of the bag and the hound dog's been crying all the time. Congratulations, that Devil Woman was a Devil in Disguise - how did we not see that one coming?Who wins - Elvis or Cliff Richard? Who is the one true King of Rock & Roll? Find out now, because there is no part 5!

Wise men say, only fools like us debate the truth of Rock & Roll: Elvis is King! Hail to the King, baby.But wait! Cliff Richard has far more top singles! He's still recording and performing. He got knighted by Her Majesty, which is almost like royalty! My, what a dilemma we have. if only Rock & Roll weren't so big and complicated. Join us for the battle and find the answer to the question: from the UK to the USA, who really knows how to rock?

Sometimes those soft ballads sound like a lullaby, but no sleeping on the job Mister Limey! You have to do your best to prove the point: is Cliff Richard truly the King of Rock and Roll or a Knight in the Royal Rock & Roll Chess Set? Tunes to get up and dance and true declarations of love to people or inanimate objects (does a 'Living Doll' count as 'inanimate'?)

We all know that the King of Rock and Roll is Elvis.Or is he? Perhaps on one side of the Big Pond, the King is someone else?Have we stumbled into an alternate universe? Was Thanos involved?No--but we did happen across a Cliff.Cliff Richard: the "English Elvis". See what you think.

Why do they say "When Pigs Fly"? Why not gorillas? Can you blame Duran Duran for wanting to Unionize those underground Snake kids? You know, the ones in the music video? They look downright impoverished! We wrap up our fun exploration of animal songs with some interesting trivia and kind-hearted well-wishes to you and the rest of the animal kingdom.

Would you swim with the alligators? Rock out with the crocodiles? (Oh Susie, how you broke our hearts!) What if I told you there was a collection of dirty used frisbees in it for you--would that sweeten the deal?Okay, well, if you have other things to do...I guess we'll be here talking about animals and trying not to stand up too fast in shallow waters.

It's a rough life out there - I tell ya, it's a jungle. A jungle full of monkeys with posh accents and the occasional walrus. It can be dog eat dog. It's even harder to handle with that monkey on your back (gesundheit). Join us as we continue our exploration of why animals tell us so much about ourselves.

We begin our amazing SIXTH YEAR with a look at why animals mean so much and how clever poets made their ways something we can use to relate to ourselves. Whether you're a Wild Thing or just an Animal, a Walrus (or Paul, or not?), we have something to share for you.

Thank you so much for being part of our journey through Season Five! As we think about entering our SIXTH YEAR of doing this show, with people in over 80 countries downloading the show, we're delighted to bring on the Christmas tunes and good cheer.

Rounding out the storytime - "Read to me again from the book of bad ideas!" - we focus on emotional issues: ignoring the warnings, being happy when maybe a bit of worry is warranted, and bottling it all up because Melissa Manchester turns out to have difficulty putting together a good pep talk. We hope you enjoy the last chapter of Bad Advice (from Good Songs)

From mixing your alcohols to mixing alcohol with driving, to bad driving, we've got it all as we continue our journey into bad, bad advice. Great songs and fun music and silly fun as we get...well, silly!

Skydiving naked? Stepmother is an Alien? You might be radioactive! Let's make sure no one Wang Chungs tonight, or tomorrow, until we're all very clear what exactly a Wang Chung is. Bad advice and lots of laughs today.

We have fun with good songs that have bad ideas. Take these completely unseriously and have a laugh when Smokey Robinson and the Miracles suggest relationships aren't for you, or Stephen Stills goes the opposite direction and tells you to have all kinds of intimate relations with whoever's on hand.

Did the dark side of that last episode scare you? It's okay, we bring this journey in for a safe, secure landing as we move through the stuff of dreams. Mister Sandman may not have liked Roy Orbison calling him a candy-colored clown, and Enter Sandman may have been a tale of candy-colored revenge, Ella Fitzgerald & Louis Armstrong, the Mamas and the Papas, and Pink Floyd letting Roger Waters run amok with a dream of future history from long ago.

We enjoy the lighter side of dreams, with The Monkees and Weird Al, and Bobby Darin, the man gifted with two first names. This is a chance to enjoy your favorite dream songs or go out to our YouTube playlist from this episode to be motivated and inspired.

Sometimes a Daydream Believer can think that Life is But a Dream, and Dream On. We won't make that mistake - it's hard to stay awake when Roy Orbison is singing a Dream Song, but it's easy to be excited about sharing all these great tunes with you and telling you the history behind them.

Songs about Dreams and Dreaming, from Elvis telling you where to go (in a nice way!) to Oasis reminding you not to stop until you get there. These are inspirational, sometimes surreal, and definitely dreamy.Well, mostly. It is Halloween soon.

All good things must come to an end, but this end of the Beginnings and Endings leaves you with a sneak peek and a new beginning: the show's next topic! In between those things is an ending episode with a middle full of great musical beginnings and endings. Confused? It'll all make sense in the end.

Suddenly vinyl is back! And now the old folks have the joy of explaining to young people that some record players would automatically lift and return the player arm when the album got to the end, while other record players would just let the stylus flap back and forth against the edge of the record label, looping through empty slack in the needle groove.Except when The Beatles decided to fill that groove with something groovy, hidden right there at the end (and now returned in digital form)

By the time you left 2020 for 2021, you were probably asking yourself, "Is this the real life? Is this just fantasy?" If you were caught in a landslide, with no escape from reality, we wouldn't blame you. Spend time with us to talk about some great beginnings and endings to your favorite songs or songs you've never heard before

2020 was rough, but in 2021, Life's Been Good anyway. We look at memorable, interesting, and fun beginnings and endings to famous songs.

We wrap up our run through 1980 and celebrate with a drink (a Pina Colada, of course, served up by Rupert Holmes).  The Yank calls Brass in Pocket "Special" and the Limey reminds everyone to get into the groove, enjoy your favorite music, and feel completely free (and shake a leg, get up and dance!).

We continue our journey through the end of Disco and the beginning of "the Me decade" .  The 1980s needed a flashpoint, and this was definitely it, socially and politically.  Though we always need a good laugh too:  the movie "Airplane!" took off (tee hee) and people loved it.  Join us for a talk through the times, over 40 years ago!

Even though the Internet in 1980 was more idea than reality, there was a lot going on in 1980 in music.  Pop and rock still needed the spirit of radio to keep them alive (what a Rush!).  Sounds started to change, and the US and the UK grew closer musically, whether it was from the untimely death of John Lennon or the New Wave of British Heavy Metal (MWOBHM) waiting in the wings, 1980 was a pivotal year for music.

A lot was happening in 1980 as Disco shifted gears, Art Rock ushered in New Wave, and Pop started to experiment more with different styles and elements of all of these things.  We loved doing a classic episode concept:  take a year, and walk you through the big songs from that year.

Humans are complicated!  That's why it was so hard for Pink Floyd to come up with a really good heartbeat or Peter Frampton to learn how to use those mouth-thingies that we all have to help his guitar talk.  Join us on the last leg of our 4-part series on how some of our favorite songs get the sounds that they have.

What do you do when Elvis won't hold still?  Or your equipment gets left out in the rain? Or something just plain goes wrong yet somehow it sounds absolutely right?  Well, you call that a breakthrough and come up with a way to make it great.  We talk a lot about the way sounds we recognize in our favorite songs get made in the studio.

Listener Robby Adcock challenged us to find out, and even gave us some great materials to start with!  Join us for this four-part series and learn more about the science behind the magic:  fuzz tone, layering, flanging and more!  We'll walk through Itchycoo park, Listen To The Music with the Doobie Brothers, and more.

How do artists make some of those wild sounds we hear in music today? Listener Robby Adcock challenged us to find out, and even gave us some great materials to start with!  Join us for this four-part series and learn more about the science behind the magic:  fuzz tone, layering, flanging and more!

Our final tour as we ride off into the 21st-Century Sunset, looking at the new ways that old sounds are carrying on.  Where will Country Music go in the future?  It'll still be here for everyone who wants something true, something relatable, and something that speaks to their everyday desires and dilemmas.  We hope you've enjoyed this incredible odyssey and encourage you to find out more by playing our YouTube Playlist of all the songs, downloading music by your favorite artists, or supporting the small businesses in your area by dropping in on your local record store--yes, we still have this, partly because what's old is new again, and even vinyl is back in style (though you may have to dig for a 78 or two)

Round the bend and firmly into the last half of the 20th Century, we look at some of the more glamorous parts of country pop-culture.  Are you a Coca-Cola cowboy?  Do you remember Robert Redford hair, The Electric Horseman, and that Coal Miner's Daughter who roared through the charts and into Country music history?  How about Sissy Spacek, the actress who played her?  Lots of fun facts, trivia, and for some of you, strolls down memory lane.

Country settles into a comfortable position across the charts as we move forward, and that Nashville sound, the Grand Ole Opry, and Blues and Soul all have a say in the direction we go from here.  Soaring beautiful ballads by Ray Charles and the eccentricity of England Swings by Roger Miller.

Our second part takes us down an amazing path, where Country music splits in two.  Some of it comes 'round again in the '60s, some of it doesn't want anything to do with that Hippie folk-rock stuff.  Some amazing samples and a few real-life stories. NOTE:  Folks, we might also call this "the dead air edition" - it's edited quite nicely but we do have some dropouts that you won't have to deal with in the next set of episodes.  We apologize for the inconvenience!

We thought we'd just skip merrily into the Country side, spend a little time, and come home refreshed after a lazy afternoon.  Boy howdy, were we wrong!  There is so much to unpack that we found flat amazing about the history of Country.  This first episode takes us through folk and blues and soul and gospel and so much more!

Part 4 of 4 concluding the episode series celebrating Black History Month 2021 - Sam Cooke was very clear about what a Wonderful World he could imagine, but Ray Charles wanted to Wait Until the Midnight Hour (one of the first songs he ever recorded). Marvin Gaye talked to himself and made us want to ask, "What's Going On?" - these artists and their legendary contributions deserve celebration worldwide for Black History Month 2021.

Part 3 of 4 in the episode series celebrating Black History Month 2021 - when Desmond Dekker and his Aces told the ancient story of The Israelites, Prince was always an Artist by any other name, and Isaac Hayes poured out his heart in "I Stand Accused"

Part 2 of 4 in the episode series celebrating Black History Month 2021 - There Was a Time when Nat King Cole was Unforgettable and Ella Fitzgerald asked Louis Armstrong to "Dream a Little Dream of Me." The dream lives on as the years go by, and Rock & Roll enter the equation joined quickly by Motown.

In celebration of the now-international holiday of Black History Month, we share some of the very talented black performers without whom much great music would never have been possible.  Celebrate these amazing people and learn a bit about them as we once again share the love.

What a tremendous time for everyone around the world!  So much going on, so many ways we're now aware of each other.  And we thought we would celebrate ALL OF YOU!  Classic Rock Battles: The Limey & the Yank, is now being listened to in 75 countries worldwide!  This series will celebrate the top tunes in the top countries that listen to the show.  Come along and get an earful of some great artists that maybe you've never heard of!

We end the year, and our fourth season, and the set of episodes about moving about, going mobile, shaking a leg, dancing to the music and celebrating life.  Better days are soon ahead - can you feel it?  We can't wait to bring you more next year in Season Five - thanks so much for listening!

Our Zoom-stream extravaganza of activity continues!  As we take on tunes that get you moving.  It's time to come back to the great outdoors!  See the light of day!  Breathe the fresh air and go for a walk--but be safe everybody!  Keep your distance, wear a mask, wash your hands, and wish for better days ahead.  We're with you.

We get out and about in the year of staying inside, though to bring these songs about moving around to you, we did have to sit at home and Zoom back and forth.  Here's to a better year in 2021!

We close out 2020 with a fun tour through tunes about distraction - finding things to do!  Games, going outside, sports, and more.

We take a fun trip down memory lane with cartoon and other theme songs, and we talk about some of the trivia behind the music and the shows.  Another delightful live-stream episode we love to share with you as a full episode of our show.

How about that 2020?  If someone signed your yearbook "Have a Great Summer", we're guessing that before school was out, all bets were off.  We spend time sharing fun tunes, trivia, and memories as we talk about the songs that really sum up our feelings during the summer of self-isolation that was 2020.  As we switch to streaming, you'll be able to catch us live, be part of the show, *and* get these episodes pushed down to your player to enjoy.

Round 2 of our quiz show concludes! How did you do? Did you guess those performers? Did you learn something? Well get ready for the second half of our fun quiz-show theme for the month "Who's That Lady?" as we give you hints about famous female musicians and you have to guess who we're talking about. We then give you some great stories about the good these people have done for the world. Enjoy!

Round Two! We switch gears on our quiz-show fun and now we give you a chance to guess "Who's That Lady?" - the female performing artist. Some great musical talents here, and we hope you enjoy taking a guess and learning about some amazing artists.

Before we break for the summer, we have something fun for you! A quiz show in two parts.In this episode, the second half of our Round One, we give you hints and you have to guess the song--a song about a lady. No hints or spoilers here! Let us know how you did by stopping by our website at http://www.thelimeyandtheyank.com

Did Englebert Humperdinck scare you?  Try to be brave.  You don't want anyone to think you're Yellow.  1999 is long gone, and here we are two decades after the meltdown that never happened.  It's amazing to think these tunes are two decades old, and you'll not only have some good memories but realize that some of these performers are still going strong today.  Some were just getting started!  Join us as we look back at the time when all the computers *didn't* crash, and the world survived.

It's a Beautiful Day - the Spice Girls Say You'll Be There and Then the Morning Comes and Bye Bye Bye.  It's amazing to think these tunes are two decades old, and you'll not only have some good memories but realize that some of these performers are still going strong today.  Some were just getting started!  Join us as we look back at the time when all the computers *didn't* crash, and the world survived.

We were Fooled Again by The Real Slim Shady.  Oasis told us to Go Let It Out and Only God Knows Why we did.    It's amazing to think these tunes are two decades old, and you'll not only have some good memories but realize that some of these performers are still going strong today.  Some were just getting started!  Join us as we look back at the time when all the computers *didn't* crash, and the world survived.

She did it again! With the Jumpin' Jumpin' and Spinning Around.  Whaddaya know Joe? The Backstreet Boys like Music and they Want It That Way.  It's amazing to think these tunes are two decades old, and you'll not only have some good memories but realize that some of these performers are still going strong today.  Some were just getting started!  Join us as we look back at the time when all the computers *didn't* crash, and the world survived.

In the end, we give you Big Joe Turner, and you could be forgiven if he made you think of Chicken Run. Janis Joplin shows us how the 1960s went through another wave of Blues with Big Brother, the Holding Company, Big Mama Thornton, and a Ball and Chain.  T. Bone Walker wins our award hands-down for 'most goth / metal name of all'.  Shorten it to "Bone Walker" and it sounds like someone you'd meet in Game of Thrones!

Arthur Gunter and Elvis both want to play House.  Not with each other, of course.  And also not with that TV doctor (would that be "playing 'Doctor' " instead?  Someone ask Hugh Laurie!).  We get to Jeff Beck, walk through early and late years for B.B. King, and even spend some time with the Ganster of Love himself.

While the Rolling Stones covered Johnny B. Goode, this is our "Johnny come lately" episodes, with John Mayall and Johnny Winter (and his brother Edgar). No one puts Alexis in the Korner and we drag out all the hits from earlier days.

From the Rolling Stones through Jay-Z, we'll take you on a trip through the very early days of Rock & Roll, starting further back in the roots of the Blues.  Lots of Chicago in this part, with plenty more Blues on both sides of The Big Pond as we go along.  Join us!

Murray Head thoughtfully pointed out that One Night in Bangkok makes a hard man humble, but he'd never heard what the New Vaudeville Players had to say about Winchester Cathedral.  I'm Too Sexy for Kung Fu Fighting when I'm Putting on the Ritz, so you'd be Crazy to Take on Me. Join us and see why it's Cruel to be Kind!

Whether it's Nena and Falco getting multi-lingual or just Telly Savalas speaking the language of love, it was one hit and then they were gone.  You feel that Heartbeat when you're Hooked on a Feeling and it's got you on your knees, but you've got to Respect Yourself. It's what Bruce would do.  Not THAT Bruce.  Not "The Boss", Bruce.  The Willis Bruce.  "Whatcha talkin' about, Willis?"

When Anita Ward, you can Ring My Bell! We're not quite clear on what made Dexy's Midnight Runners want to be out jogging so late, but we do think a lot of these one-hit wonders had The Knack for Playing that Funky Music.  Float on and see the surprise hit from a woman mostly known for her great comedy legacy (but the one-hit isn't actually funny...isn't that funny?).

From the past through today and into the future, there will always be those artists who for one moment capture the spotlight...and then never repeat that same magic again.  Join us as we peer into the year 2525, ponder whether stars wander, and go Tubthumping for the Macarena.  It's my life and I'll spend it thinking of Grandad and his sweet tooth.  Sugar, sugar, and one-hit sweetness!

Another Freaky Friday as we end the year and our third season together:  Steve the Limey is now The Yank! And that makes Blake the Yank stuck with the title of "Sir Blake the Limey" - a terrible turnabout for all!  Join us for some fun and great musical memories as we take on the great debate:  from the USA to the UK, who *really* knows who's who?  And...who *really* knows how to rock?

Could it be any stranger?  We end the year with both sides of the fence swapping out both sides of the Big Pond - what a strange situation!  Join us as Blake the Limey and Steve the Yank battle over whose music is better:  the UK or the USA?

50 years ago?  Already?  We celebrate three days of Peace, Love, and Music with a look back and some interesting conversation about the artists, those pivotal performances, and the social and political change blowin' in the wind in 1969.  Join us!

An amazing milestone celebrating a pivotal piece of Rock & Roll history:  Woodstock!  Join us as we share some fascinating trivia and discuss the artists and their performances that created three days of Peace, Love, and Music.

"Showaddy Waddy" was funny to say, and imagining Ozzy in that fur suit Barking at the Moon was quite a fond memory, and now it's time to howl at the moon with Hank, Fly to the Moon with Hank, and then spend some time pondering the phenomenon of Underworld's "Moon in Water."

October! Halloween! The Moon!  Apollo?  We celebrate the 50th Anniversary of the Moon Landing alongside other songs that mythologize the moon. Can you fit a werewolf in a space capsule?  Would you want to?  Would fur be a bad thing to have in zero gravity?  Find out why we were Godsmacked about such Space Oddities.

The big money goes around the world, so you probably shouldn't put your money where your mouth is - you have no idea where it's been! If you're a Gold Digger (and we ain't sayin'), you look for Opportunities to Take the Money and Run. We have fun with songs about money one more time in the second half of our Money theme. Enjoy!

It's strange to her:  some people seem to have everything, while others get their money for nothing.  Well, as Weird Al once said, "If money can't buy happiness, I guess I'll have to rent it."  We found some really neat facts about songs about money, and we hope you have as much fun as we do, because this episode--like all our episodes--is entirely 100% free.

We closed down with Semisonic, but if that left you smarting, we've got more this time around.  We'll give you a little TLC when it's cold outside.  Wherever you see paradise we'll be watching you, working hard to give you the time of your life.  And like Van Morrison's brown-eyed (?) girl, we'll still love you tomorrow.

It was all downhill when they caught Miss Molly rockin' at the house of blue light.  We explore song meanings that sometimes get lost in translation--and other times get missed completely! Across the decades, songs can be subtle or obvious and we'll share some that you may not have noticed!

Had enough of Didgeridoos and Ding-a-ling-a-lings yet?  Not by a long shot, we bet!  The second half of our bawdy rock n' roll romp gets into those sneaky dirty words that somehow got through on the radio.  We salute The Dirty Bits Podcast, the A podcast that covers the fierce, sexy, funny, scandalous, freaky, and salacious stories from history your teacher probably left out. What fun!

Get ready to get dirty!  As a shout-out to our friends at The Dirty Bits Podcast, we talk about some of the naughty-but-nice and not-safe-for-work parts of Rock & Roll Music History.  Don't worry!  It all comes with a disclaimer, and we promise it's all in good fun.  Whether Frankie Say Relax or we're elaborating on Didgeridoos, we hope you enjoy this bawdy rock-n-roll romp.  The Dirty Bits is the podcast that covers the fierce, sexy, funny, scandalous, freaky, and salacious stories from history your teacher probably left out. What fun!

Doctor, doctor!  Robert Palmer is Simply Irresistible, but The Girl is Mine! Life's Been Good, but If I Ever Lose My Faith in You, I Will Not Go Quietly.  I'll still be here after the Boys of Summer have gone,   We work our way up to some of the greatest solo artists of all time in the second half of this series.  Enjoy!

This episode goes to 11!  You'll think 10 wasn't loud enough when Sammy Hagar steps in.  But meanwhile, Eric Clapton is looking wonderful, Gene Simmons is radioactive, and Gwen Stefani has No Doubt about what she's waiting for.  We discuss some of the greatest artists who were able to succeed with bands or on their own.  Join us!
