Deluxe C-View: Girls Aloud - "What Will The Neighbours Say?" Part 2

[00:00:00] Viewer discretion is advised, your fav will be criticized.

[00:00:07] Today we are continuing the 20th anniversary celebrations of What Will The Neighbors Say

[00:00:12] with part 2 of our review discussing all the beat sides and previously unheard tracks

[00:00:17] included on the brand new Deluxe edition released March 2024.

[00:00:22] And especially to our Patreon for new series, really, really, Emily and Juliet.

[00:00:27] And you can become one too at patreon.com.cctvpops and you can tell what episodes you want us

[00:00:32] to make.

[00:00:34] So we will now go to rack by track and discuss the production vocals and lyrics and give

[00:00:39] our ratings for each song.

[00:00:42] So we are starting off with Wicked Games.

[00:00:45] So this one was written by Chris Isaac and their version was produced by Brian Higgins

[00:00:50] and Xenomania of course.

[00:00:52] And this is a cover of Chris Isaac's 1989 hit Wicked Game.

[00:00:57] So there's quite a lore with this song.

[00:01:00] Back in 2005 during the What Will The Neighbors Say tour, news was announced that girls

[00:01:06] allowed next single would be this cover of Wicked Game to be released at the end of the

[00:01:12] tour.

[00:01:14] Paulie Doer then quickly announced kind of a few weeks in that the single release was

[00:01:18] canceled due to the girls busy schedules and that we never heard of it again essentially.

[00:01:24] Brian kind of as an inside joke has that line without Wicked Games in biology to refer

[00:01:30] to the fact that this song was never released.

[00:01:33] Yeah, then the track appeared on initial track listings of the sound of girls allowed

[00:01:38] rate of tips compilation in 2006 but it was removed before the release.

[00:01:44] And then we never heard about it ever again.

[00:01:46] Sarah did also mention it in her book as well.

[00:01:49] Yeah, and now finally almost 20 years later we can finally hear this single that never

[00:01:57] was so everyone was super excited about us all getting Wicked Game.

[00:02:00] Oh, that's so fun.

[00:02:01] I'm not going to stand like if you're new to the show, I am what three years old a fan

[00:02:05] now.

[00:02:06] Yeah.

[00:02:07] You know, she grew up so fast.

[00:02:08] It's just wow.

[00:02:09] But yeah, you've mentioned it before.

[00:02:11] I remember when you told me we were going to do this.

[00:02:14] You know, the game's got to be on it and I'm like,

[00:02:16] what games he looks yes.

[00:02:17] I was like, oh, okay, I didn't realize how important.

[00:02:20] Very important.

[00:02:21] That's a bit of a, that's a big leave it better.

[00:02:25] This is so interesting because everyone knows this song obviously.

[00:02:31] It's very like moody.

[00:02:33] And I'm not saying the girls don't do moody but you know, at the time with the first

[00:02:37] album was just kind of like, all right.

[00:02:38] Okay, so for them to do a cover, there's a lot of covers on the album in the

[00:02:43] B sides.

[00:02:44] We'll talk about it later.

[00:02:45] And I was like, oh, this is this nice.

[00:02:47] When I first heard it just kind of blindly decided to play.

[00:02:50] I thought all this sounds like something like a lot of Del Rey would do.

[00:02:54] Like early lot of Del Rey video games kind of thing.

[00:02:57] I was like, because of our moody, it's not in the singing and the Bethlessness and then

[00:03:02] the updated production.

[00:03:03] I was like, the harmony sound they're haunting us, which is nice to kind of have the women's

[00:03:09] sing it as well.

[00:03:10] I think the effectiveness is in Chris Isaacs, you know, him being the guy getting plays.

[00:03:15] I'm like, oh, yeah, take that.

[00:03:16] But it's nice to have the women kind of take this and be vulnerable and haunted.

[00:03:21] And question for you, who was on the second verse because I was always like, oh, is it

[00:03:26] him?

[00:03:27] The start of the second verse, like the first line.

[00:03:29] Yeah.

[00:03:30] That's Sarah.

[00:03:31] It is there.

[00:03:32] Okay, Sarah when they sing in their lower registers, they sound so good.

[00:03:35] I'm just like, I know pop is in so like alto friendly.

[00:03:40] But it sounded so delicious.

[00:03:43] It was good.

[00:03:44] It was so good.

[00:03:45] But yeah.

[00:03:46] And the belt right before the second chorus sends me.

[00:03:50] It's so just like, oh yeah.

[00:03:52] That's the Dean.

[00:03:53] Yeah.

[00:03:54] Oh, yeah.

[00:03:55] That one I know.

[00:03:56] But this is over.

[00:03:57] Yes.

[00:03:58] Eric is.

[00:03:59] I thought I'd ask you just to make sure because I was like, we did that.

[00:04:01] But yeah, honestly, I feel like this is a cover that they could have put on the main album.

[00:04:04] I mean, like what the heck?

[00:04:06] Whatever happened with it not being a single.

[00:04:08] That doesn't mean you can't just stick it on the track listing.

[00:04:10] But I guess they thought it sounded good enough to be a single.

[00:04:12] It didn't work out there.

[00:04:13] Like, no, no, we got to hold onto it.

[00:04:15] Yeah.

[00:04:16] I mean, I guess timing wise, this would actually have been the start of the chemistry campaign

[00:04:20] actually.

[00:04:22] And so my first reaction.

[00:04:24] Well, first off, I think the girls loud version is great.

[00:04:26] I wasn't really sure what to expect because that first I was like, well, there's a reason

[00:04:31] it was canceled.

[00:04:32] And then like, lifting to the original version, I'm like, how would they execute this?

[00:04:37] And then also as a single, like they were only, you know, at their second album, the fanbase

[00:04:44] wasn't completely solid yet.

[00:04:47] This would have been a huge risk.

[00:04:49] I think I don't think it would have done well as a single.

[00:04:52] I think it would have been very divisive with, you know, I think with such a huge song,

[00:04:59] you're going to have the people that are like, this is not even close to the original.

[00:05:01] Right?

[00:05:02] Yeah.

[00:05:03] And the time period between yeah, it would have been released in the summer as well, which

[00:05:07] is any even more, yeah, which is even more odd, I guess.

[00:05:12] But then thinking of chemistry, I do think this is better than see the day.

[00:05:16] So I'm surprised they didn't just kind of move this to kind of the winter single for

[00:05:21] the next album, but you know, we haven't done the chemistry review yet.

[00:05:24] So look out for that.

[00:05:26] We will do that.

[00:05:27] I'll leave you have a lot to go there.

[00:05:28] I know, but yes, anyway, I think the girls love version is actually great.

[00:05:31] I'm pleasantly surprised.

[00:05:34] Reduction wise, I think Xenomedia and Brian did a great job actually because they also

[00:05:40] wasn't sure about that.

[00:05:41] You know, that like guitar slide is so iconic in that song.

[00:05:45] And it's a very, it's a rock song.

[00:05:47] So it's very organic.

[00:05:49] And so I was like, oh, if it's more electronic, like we'll have that same kind of haunting

[00:05:53] feeling because the song is cool, because it's like sultry and sexy, but then dark and

[00:05:59] kind of like yeah.

[00:06:00] So but they actually did a good job kind of keeping all of those elements in there, I

[00:06:04] think.

[00:06:05] And the girls vocal delivery, you're right.

[00:06:07] I'm actually very impressed.

[00:06:09] Yeah, because you're right.

[00:06:10] Like before this we had maybe like life got cold.

[00:06:13] And then there are some moodier ballots on the album like there's hear me out, you know,

[00:06:17] the solo ones, but they all sound really, really good.

[00:06:21] And they do have that sultryness that I think it needed.

[00:06:26] Yeah.

[00:06:27] And so also I need to give a huge shout out to Nikola.

[00:06:31] So I think we said in the album review, Nikola was shafted like especially in the beginning.

[00:06:37] Let's zone near the end.

[00:06:38] But the first couple of albums Nikola gets so few parts.

[00:06:43] Yeah.

[00:06:44] And she's things the most on this version and she's things like basically the entire lead

[00:06:49] of the chorus.

[00:06:50] So good for her.

[00:06:51] She sounds amazing as well because her innocence really works with kind of the sultryness

[00:06:56] of the other four.

[00:06:57] I think it's a good balance there.

[00:06:59] And then my notes later.

[00:07:01] Yeah.

[00:07:02] So I'm very happy about this.

[00:07:04] And it's grown on me more as I've just listened to it these past few days, but yeah, really

[00:07:09] really cool.

[00:07:10] I'm really glad we finally got it.

[00:07:12] I'm glad it's not.

[00:07:13] Congrats.

[00:07:14] Oh my God.

[00:07:15] Can you imagine all the hair and lures?

[00:07:17] I wasn't sure.

[00:07:18] Like I could see, I mean, I've experienced this at work, right?

[00:07:21] It's like people will be like, this is the next single and then they'll play it at a

[00:07:24] meeting and that everyone will be like, what are you thinking?

[00:07:28] Which which is possibly what happened here too because it is a risk.

[00:07:31] But it's actually pretty good even though it is a risk.

[00:07:34] I still think it shouldn't have been a single at that time.

[00:07:37] Yeah.

[00:07:38] But I'm glad it's at least good.

[00:07:39] Yeah.

[00:07:40] Anyway.

[00:07:41] Okay.

[00:07:42] So what do you rate this song?

[00:07:43] I'm gonna give it a nice.

[00:07:44] I'm not strong.

[00:07:45] Okay.

[00:07:46] Me too.

[00:07:47] I will also go with a nine.

[00:07:48] Yes.

[00:07:49] One of the better covers.

[00:07:50] All right.

[00:07:51] Up next, we have disco bunny by Ryan Higgins, Miranda Cooper, Tim Powell and Nick Collar

[00:07:56] of Zeta Media.

[00:07:58] And this was previously unreleased until this deluxe version.

[00:08:02] So you have a little disco bunny moment, which I just say I love that.

[00:08:06] I know.

[00:08:07] Okay.

[00:08:08] So my nickname, but my family is bunny, right?

[00:08:12] And I like to go out and dance.

[00:08:13] I was like, oh this is basically like you know, it's your theme song.

[00:08:16] Literally because it's like a buckle bunny like in country music shout out to Tanner

[00:08:22] Adele where buckle bunnies kind of just you know, ball around like the country boys

[00:08:27] and the cowboys whatever.

[00:08:28] And then it's just like, I was like, what's that?

[00:08:30] Yes, yes, yes, yes.

[00:08:31] But then the chorus was giving like, Oh, I can't dance.

[00:08:33] What do you do?

[00:08:34] It's like a disjoint again.

[00:08:37] This jointed lyricism, but it didn't bother me as much.

[00:08:40] I think for me what bothered me was like the chorus, that was a little bit lazy.

[00:08:44] But was this or do you like deluxe like B size of it maker?

[00:08:49] Like hey guys, you recorded it.

[00:08:50] You guys kind of maybe heard murmurings.

[00:08:52] We want to give it to the fans as a gift as the 20 years.

[00:08:55] Like what is the?

[00:08:56] Yeah.

[00:08:57] So we did not know this title or the next song.

[00:08:59] Okay.

[00:09:00] Well, I think the Zeta media girls allowed vault has always been white.

[00:09:06] Not confusing, but just like reclusive or just into shadows a bit because of the way

[00:09:12] girls allowed right?

[00:09:14] Or how they recorded.

[00:09:16] Yeah, yeah, yeah.

[00:09:17] And how Brian and team right, you know, they record random versus and random courses at

[00:09:22] various keys across different backing tracks.

[00:09:26] And then they just piece stuff together.

[00:09:28] And so listening to this, I think it's very clear that it's unfinished.

[00:09:33] Yes.

[00:09:34] Yeah.

[00:09:35] That's all I was getting from it.

[00:09:36] We understand.

[00:09:37] I think Brian did go back to the studio to mix.

[00:09:41] What?

[00:09:42] We could game disco bunny and baby when you go to actually make them more fully fledged,

[00:09:46] I think because I don't think this was ever going to be like a full or ever had gone

[00:09:51] to the point where it was a full song.

[00:09:53] Oh, okay.

[00:09:54] Okay.

[00:09:55] Yeah.

[00:09:56] That context helps because I think thank you.

[00:09:58] Yeah.

[00:09:59] If this was a full song, the second verse would not be such a repeat of the first verse.

[00:10:05] And we would definitely have a bridge.

[00:10:07] Like it definitely feels bare and that's my no done.

[00:10:10] Kind of yeah, my notes are leaning toward and I was like, oh, this is a little unfair

[00:10:14] because I don't know the full like school.

[00:10:16] No, they're unfinished.

[00:10:17] You know, I'm particularly fond of it because I thought it was fun at least and the concept

[00:10:22] was fun.

[00:10:23] Yeah.

[00:10:24] The lyrics are for me a little bit more cohesive than like the usual.

[00:10:28] Really?

[00:10:29] I know they're strange, but I get it though.

[00:10:32] Like it's still about dancing.

[00:10:33] It's like some random, you know, phrase and I mean their phrases are random, but it's

[00:10:38] still pertain to the whole idea of being at the disco check.

[00:10:41] You know what I'm saying?

[00:10:42] And I could appreciate that.

[00:10:44] I'm trying to give them a bone here because my notes were very much like it sounds unfinished.

[00:10:47] Of course, it's a little lazy, but my thing is whatever version they had of disco bunny

[00:10:52] as a chorus, whatever the multiple versions they had if this was their strongest one,

[00:10:56] I don't know if this one would have survived.

[00:10:58] Obviously they got so much better with their EDME track.

[00:11:01] Obviously, but this as like a kind of a precursor to like you know, we have songs like that

[00:11:10] later on in their career is like, oh yeah.

[00:11:13] Or you know something new like, oh yeah, things like that.

[00:11:16] It's a nice little like okay they can do the more electronic dance poppy girl thing and

[00:11:22] I gonna appreciate it.

[00:11:23] But yeah, everything else is just me complaining about the lack of finishness, but not as you

[00:11:28] explained it.

[00:11:29] I understand.

[00:11:30] Yeah.

[00:11:31] I'm thinking that into account that it is a demo.

[00:11:35] I think it's actually pretty good for the most part.

[00:11:38] Yeah, I think the chorus is fun for sure and I think it feels like it's missing like

[00:11:43] a second half of it or something, but this yeah you're right.

[00:11:46] It has a lot of potential there.

[00:11:48] I think the production is interesting like it's again kind of guitar forward, but distorted

[00:11:53] electric guitar forward.

[00:11:55] And I love that with the Xenomania stuff.

[00:11:57] So it fits in with kind of the rest of the sound of the album.

[00:12:00] But yeah, I think like I mentioned earlier, like the second verse just feels like it was

[00:12:05] just feel like a different option for the first verse.

[00:12:07] Yeah.

[00:12:08] Yeah.

[00:12:09] Because I think we're just so used to Xenomania tracks having even if the structure is

[00:12:14] the same for the two verses there's at least like you know someone else singing it

[00:12:20] or there's like a slight melodic change and this one it definitely feels like all five

[00:12:25] of them kind of just recorded the verses and he was like, okay, let's take this one

[00:12:28] singing this line.

[00:12:29] This one singing this line like it just kind of felt again just like demo-y which is fine

[00:12:33] because that's what this was.

[00:12:34] So it's cool to hear that because we yeah, it's quite rare like in the girls loud just

[00:12:38] ography.

[00:12:39] We don't really know like what they were working on other than the stuff that made it

[00:12:42] on right.

[00:12:43] I will say vocally the girls sound great again.

[00:12:46] Yeah, yeah totally.

[00:12:47] Yeah, the sass especially in that pre-chorus is so perfect for Sarah and Nadine and yeah

[00:12:53] if you just take that chorus it does fit in with like the dance sear songs that are on

[00:12:58] the album and some that are later on too.

[00:13:01] So yeah, I appreciate it as kind of a new song in the discography.

[00:13:05] Yeah, that was fun.

[00:13:06] Like a pre-chorus.

[00:13:07] Like I sound fond of it for sure.

[00:13:08] I get into it at seven and the score is not low.

[00:13:11] Am I confusion?

[00:13:12] Did not take away from the whole you know, yeah, for sure.

[00:13:15] Yeah, I'll give it eight seven point five.

[00:13:20] Yes.

[00:13:21] Okay.

[00:13:22] So moving on to baby when you go and this one was done by Brian Higgins, Nyara Scarlett,

[00:13:28] Jiselle Somerville, Miranda Cooper, Tim Powell, Nick Kohler and Jason Resh of Azenomania.

[00:13:34] And this was also previously unreleased until this deluxe version.

[00:13:40] And the song was actually also recorded by Azenomania Pop Duo Mania for their unreleased

[00:13:47] album.

[00:13:48] And I believe Nyara and maybe Jiselle actually are those two members of that duo.

[00:13:53] Yeah.

[00:13:54] So yeah, there are two versions of this.

[00:13:56] And I don't think anyone knew that Girls Allowed had also recorded at least maybe the initial

[00:14:01] version of it.

[00:14:02] Oh, I mean always find it so interesting when songwriters like have their own little like

[00:14:10] performing you know, like this way I'm on it for example or we all know she writes a lot

[00:14:14] as she's written for Ariana Grande and such like that.

[00:14:17] But now she's writing for herself and it's like, you can hear the different in like style.

[00:14:22] Yeah.

[00:14:23] But you can almost hear similarities like in writing and such things like that and you know

[00:14:27] like certain choices and vocal choices and such things like that.

[00:14:31] With this one, it was very much Azenomania track and it was just given to the Girls Allowed

[00:14:37] which isn't terrible because like they've almost become like this symbiotic kind of

[00:14:41] sonic thing right?

[00:14:43] You think of Zanomania, you think of Girls Allowed and vice versa.

[00:14:46] So I think I like it for that reason because the song is solid with the original and also

[00:14:53] it's built upon with several voices of Girls Allowed which is what I like a lot.

[00:14:58] I like about it.

[00:14:59] The melody of the chorus I think is, I mean I really stand that's because even though

[00:15:03] it's melodally really like a melancholic there's a drive behind the production.

[00:15:08] There's something a little bit more.

[00:15:10] It's not like a slow tempo.

[00:15:11] It was like a mid kind of tempo.

[00:15:13] It sounded you know.

[00:15:14] Yeah, it's the tempo.

[00:15:15] Yes, that happy but it feels like there's a hopefulness.

[00:15:19] Yeah, exactly.

[00:15:20] But then the melody of the chorus is like a little melancholic and I love the vocal blend

[00:15:25] and the harmonies.

[00:15:26] I think this is one of my kind of like a sketch something in my brain a little bit.

[00:15:30] I was like, I like how smooth everything sounded.

[00:15:32] But yeah, in contrast with the thumping production you have like the sad lyrics and the sad meaning

[00:15:38] and feelings behind the song.

[00:15:40] And I think like the Girls really emoted well.

[00:15:43] And the song that's very relatable in terms of lyricism.

[00:15:45] I like the verses and the prehooks a lot melodically and the Girls Emote really well.

[00:15:51] You know, and it's I think this song stands out because of that for me.

[00:15:54] And he has shout out to everyone who doesn't really get lines and gets shafted.

[00:15:58] Kim, Nicola, like this is like an opportunity for you to spread fans like here and feel

[00:16:04] like, oh wow.

[00:16:05] Back in the day, they're really on the tracks.

[00:16:07] It's just by, you know, I guess an unlucky draw.

[00:16:10] The ones that got picked on the album kind of left them as like sub vocals.

[00:16:15] But no, I like this one.

[00:16:16] It's a nice little break from the dancing, dancing shaky, shaky.

[00:16:21] Girls allowed.

[00:16:22] Yeah, what do you think about this one?

[00:16:24] Yeah, I mean, I love a melancholic mid tempo, Girls allowed moment.

[00:16:27] They have quite a few of those kind of across the discography.

[00:16:30] So I'm glad to have another one.

[00:16:31] I think they do excel with this type of sound.

[00:16:34] And it fits in again, sonically with the stuff on the album.

[00:16:38] Like I think if you had a longer track listing of fully formed version of this song could

[00:16:42] have definitely easily fit in there.

[00:16:44] Yeah, if you listen to the mania version, it's definitely more fleshed out than this one.

[00:16:50] Like the second verse is completely different and there's a lot more of a build in there.

[00:16:55] More hook, smart adlibs kind of throughout the thing.

[00:16:57] So yeah, I think maybe Girls allowed kind of did the initial just kind of demoing of

[00:17:02] it and then you know, mania was also supposed to release their album in 2004, I believe.

[00:17:08] Like so that same year.

[00:17:09] So I think it kind of just the two mania ladies just kind of took it and kind of finished

[00:17:14] it for themselves.

[00:17:15] Yeah, I agree with you.

[00:17:16] I think the melodies are really nice in this one.

[00:17:20] Again, the two verses do feel like they're kind of just two versions of what the first

[00:17:25] verse could be just like lyrics.

[00:17:27] But I'm not mad at that because then you get to hear kind of the different girls kind

[00:17:30] of sing kind of different lines and stuff.

[00:17:32] The distribution, hello.

[00:17:33] Yeah, and then yeah, like I mentioned earlier, like I think vocally, yeah, they just execute

[00:17:37] this like a booty vibe really well, like all five of them can do the trauma.

[00:17:43] So yeah, I'm a fan of this one.

[00:17:45] I'm really happy to have this one as well.

[00:17:46] But you give it.

[00:17:47] Yeah, I'll go 7.5.

[00:17:49] I don't know if that sounds low or not.

[00:17:51] It's still not a fully fledged song, you know?

[00:17:53] Yeah.

[00:17:54] And so yeah, how about you?

[00:17:55] I'm sitting at a seven and I agree aside from it not being a fully fledged song, I think

[00:18:00] is comparatively to the album that we've already reviewed.

[00:18:03] So definitely check out that review on podcasts or here on YouTube.

[00:18:06] But yeah, compared to what was on the album, I'm like, hmm, I don't hear anything that

[00:18:10] I would replace like, oh my God, I was just not there yet.

[00:18:13] Yeah.

[00:18:14] So that being said, I think that's kind of where my thought from us is what they're

[00:18:16] rating.

[00:18:17] So yeah, if you made this far, be sure to jump a comment.

[00:18:21] Let us know what your favorite song is or let us know your scores and you guys are watching,

[00:18:24] okay?

[00:18:25] So onto the next song hanging on the telephone.

[00:18:28] And this is written by Jack Inley and produced by Ian Masterson and Terry Ronald.

[00:18:33] And it's actually a cover of Blonde, these cover of the nerves song hanging on the telephone.

[00:18:39] And girls love it.

[00:18:40] Query the track to perform as the opening track to their set at the G A Y Club in London

[00:18:44] to promote no good advice and the first album during which they had phone booths on stage

[00:18:49] of reference to the no good advice video.

[00:18:51] And footage from the performance is unfortunately never been released.

[00:18:54] But there are photos.

[00:18:56] And this is where Nick Lowe wore her famous skirt that says, I'm a rude ginger bothered

[00:19:02] in response to a comment from Matt from busted.

[00:19:04] And the song made his first appearance on the found up curls allowed greatest hits album

[00:19:08] in 2006.

[00:19:10] But yes, what a fun time.

[00:19:13] Rebellious girls allowed.

[00:19:15] The pictures are great.

[00:19:18] What do you think about this?

[00:19:19] Oh, yeah, I mean back when the sound of girls allowed was released, I remember everyone

[00:19:23] being excited to hear this one because I think people just kind of knew that they had

[00:19:26] performed it that one time at this tiny club.

[00:19:30] But you know, it was the early 2000s so people did not have footage like that like we do

[00:19:34] now.

[00:19:35] So it was just those pictures that we saw.

[00:19:36] So yeah, people were excited to hear it, I think.

[00:19:38] And I don't think I knew this song before I heard the girls loud version back then.

[00:19:43] But now that we know that it's a cover of a cover, it's kind of fun to hear how the

[00:19:47] song evolved actually like from the nerves through to Blonde and this one is quite a clear

[00:19:52] kind of like hop interpretation of the blonde.

[00:19:55] One.

[00:19:56] Yeah, I think production wise it sounds a little karaoke just in some of the elements like

[00:20:00] some of the fake real instruments just sound a little too clean.

[00:20:08] But at the end of the day, it was literally for a promo performance that they did once.

[00:20:12] So it's not like we're expecting some crazy high budget production here like it did its

[00:20:16] job.

[00:20:17] It had good energy and it stays pretty true to the original or I guess the cover that

[00:20:21] Blondie did and vocally they sound good like Sarah shines on this obviously as like

[00:20:27] the resident rock chick.

[00:20:28] But honestly, all of them give good attitude pretty much.

[00:20:32] And yeah, the lyrics of song are actually pretty funny.

[00:20:34] Like I think I don't know if I realized how like desperate it sounds.

[00:20:37] I'm a tears.

[00:20:38] That's funny.

[00:20:39] But yeah, I enjoy it.

[00:20:42] It's fun.

[00:20:43] I do wish we got to see the performance.

[00:20:45] Oh yeah, this one those lost media.

[00:20:47] I wish we had a lot of us should be like on YouTube.

[00:20:49] Oh, YouTube hope everything those lost media videos on YouTube.

[00:20:52] Yeah, but I don't think this was even officially filled like they're probably not going to

[00:20:55] camera's there.

[00:20:56] So so crazy about like God, what a different time is the moment in time we can never have

[00:21:01] except through pictures.

[00:21:02] But yeah, you know, before I knew all of what we know now about the covers and such,

[00:21:06] I thought the songs feels like a punk pop 80s classic like the goggles or banner ammo

[00:21:11] or banana ramma.

[00:21:12] I said banana but not mama.

[00:21:14] Sorry about that.

[00:21:15] I was going to say blonde as well.

[00:21:17] Something am I pushing it?

[00:21:18] No, I wasn't.

[00:21:19] So I'm happy that I was like not all but I was like also thinking to myself, I feel like

[00:21:24] this is a possible answer to the sound underground like sonnately in terms of like them doing

[00:21:29] the whole rock thing.

[00:21:30] Yeah.

[00:21:31] Also like an alternative universe like next single for now like they were going right

[00:21:34] their rock sound at first.

[00:21:36] Remember?

[00:21:37] Yeah.

[00:21:38] And then now suddenly it was like let's go west come on and was like, what you know,

[00:21:40] so it was one of those things are like I wonder what would have happened if they would've

[00:21:43] gone by the whole, you know, blonde go goes route.

[00:21:48] Especially with the way music was changing when they started getting even more popular.

[00:21:52] So yeah, I think it's fun.

[00:21:53] I like that you know, it's still a little quirky in terms of the lyrics.

[00:22:01] I like the storytelling of the song, but I think shout out to the nerves for the original

[00:22:07] like writing of the lyrics.

[00:22:08] I like to hang on the telephone visual.

[00:22:10] On the main we think of the old boys in the Kim possible episodes with the hang of the

[00:22:16] telephone core dropping it in the water.

[00:22:18] I totally love them gotten a music video.

[00:22:21] I think the photos are great and shout out to Nicholas for wearing that skirt and being

[00:22:25] so punk for wearing it.

[00:22:27] I like the updated production only because I didn't realize there was a chorus.

[00:22:33] I would cover excuse me, but also because I think it fits their sound even with that

[00:22:38] sound low karaoke is because there is some genuine tension built up with the symbol

[00:22:42] crashes and the strumming and like harmonic buildups in a Priya.

[00:22:46] I did wonder where the bridge went, but it never had a bridge really, but I thought at

[00:22:51] the time, like you thought it was an original exactly so.

[00:22:55] Oh, okay.

[00:22:56] Yeah, I was like, where's the rest of it?

[00:22:59] But I don't wonder what would have happened if they kind of just added a little zenomaniac

[00:23:02] bridge with covers always always think like how can you elevate it and I would have been

[00:23:06] fun.

[00:23:07] That's just me just being, you know, oh yeah.

[00:23:08] I think if it was for more than just like a one off performance, it would have been cool

[00:23:12] to see like if they wanted to turn this into like an actual song of theirs.

[00:23:16] Yeah.

[00:23:17] Yeah.

[00:23:18] And fun, but I appreciate the risk for sure.

[00:23:20] But was it risky enough?

[00:23:21] That's so much.

[00:23:22] I feel like it's satisfactory and it's that a seven for me.

[00:23:25] It's just, you know, if they are so bad.

[00:23:26] It's just there.

[00:23:27] Yeah, I will stick to a seven as well.

[00:23:30] Up next we have Androgynous Girls which was done by Brian Higgins, Lisa Cowling, Miranda

[00:23:35] Cooper and Nick Kohler and Sean Lee of Zeno Media.

[00:23:39] And though it ended up becoming the B side to the love machine at CD single, the song

[00:23:44] was actually originally a contender for first single off the album along with the show

[00:23:50] graffiti my soul and wake me up.

[00:23:52] So it's really interesting it went from being a lead single contender to being a B side

[00:23:57] like not even on the album.

[00:23:59] Just wild.

[00:24:00] What do you think of it?

[00:24:01] Oh my goodness.

[00:24:02] It's clear as a tongue in the ear, the lyrics are classic Zeno Media and there I say I

[00:24:07] like it when they're lyrics to borderline of cooiness.

[00:24:10] Oh, I think I've heard that.

[00:24:11] That's their entire discography.

[00:24:13] Yeah.

[00:24:14] Like I said, there was being sarcastic.

[00:24:16] Yeah, I say.

[00:24:18] But yeah, no, I looked up what it means to dream of someone turning into money and I couldn't

[00:24:23] find anything out much of it like outside of it except like it means that someone's worth

[00:24:27] like has some worth to you.

[00:24:29] But then like because I didn't get listen, when you don't understand lyric and you want

[00:24:35] to understand them and how they as cool kids they are.

[00:24:37] I'm like there's a reason.

[00:24:40] You said this even the breathing underwater because you like the way it feels has meaning.

[00:24:45] You know what I'm saying?

[00:24:46] It's something there maybe nothing deep but I was like, ooh, I'm curious.

[00:24:51] Okay.

[00:24:52] But then the jeans she didn't save that I mean that she didn't do anything but like use

[00:24:55] them and then maybe didn't spend their time wisely.

[00:24:57] I don't know but I feel like there's a lot of just like ran a little.

[00:25:00] I don't know.

[00:25:01] I was just trying to make this.

[00:25:02] I think this is more literal, like literally.

[00:25:04] I know.

[00:25:05] I realize.

[00:25:06] I rather you just be money than be my daughter.

[00:25:10] Okay, maybe not oh my gosh.

[00:25:12] That's I mean it fits in with the whole chorus when it kind of gets going to kicks in but

[00:25:16] I just thought it was kind of like interesting that that was the imagery that was used.

[00:25:20] It's fun and it's like not too not being seen as anything but like something to just

[00:25:25] spend kind of like a was it like recreational time on you know.

[00:25:31] So that's what I was thinking like it was bees being spent you know recreationally in

[00:25:35] whatever way that means to you.

[00:25:36] Yeah, the whole song is full of interesting like got contradictions I think like and

[00:25:41] draw to this boy pretty girls a man's wife could be younger but him being unable to enjoy

[00:25:46] her and then the lovely ladies of girls allowed the person will love that because I played

[00:25:52] it over like passing type women in her songs right.

[00:25:55] So I thought that was fun.

[00:25:56] But yeah, I like the vocal hiccups and the verses despite the weird lyrics especially

[00:26:01] the ones were of was a Nicolas is she the first verse lead or is this Sarah?

[00:26:05] That's Kimberly first first.

[00:26:06] Cam all dang it.

[00:26:07] No, that's first verse.

[00:26:08] Second verse Sarah.

[00:26:09] It is Sarah.

[00:26:10] Okay.

[00:26:11] Thank you Sarah.

[00:26:12] Because Sarah was like he blow me away.

[00:26:14] I was like bad.

[00:26:15] Because the hiccup is there right just perfectly again.

[00:26:19] I just heard it and this is the first though.

[00:26:20] And I was like, oh me.

[00:26:21] Like God.

[00:26:22] But then blow me away the away came out like so yeah, I like the lyrics of this one.

[00:26:27] I like the production of this one.

[00:26:29] I like them melodic choices in the verses.

[00:26:33] It's just solid for me.

[00:26:34] Okay.

[00:26:35] I love and draw to this girls.

[00:26:37] I remember when I first heard it as the B side I was like because it came out right

[00:26:41] before the album right.

[00:26:42] So I was like, oh my gosh, this is only a B side.

[00:26:45] The album is going to be amazing.

[00:26:48] Yeah.

[00:26:49] So what do I favorite B side probably I think it did deserve a spot on the album.

[00:26:54] Well, yeah production wise there's a cheekiness to even just the production itself which I love.

[00:27:00] There's a funky baseline to precautions like kind of harsh.

[00:27:03] There's like an 80s-esque guitar riff in there and there's just something cheeky about

[00:27:08] even just the instrumental of it.

[00:27:09] And I love that.

[00:27:10] But yeah, the lyrics for sure are the highlight, especially into Dean's little bridges because

[00:27:15] she just executes it so well as well.

[00:27:19] And then Cheryl leading the chorus is a perfect choice because she can sound very nonchalant

[00:27:24] at times and it just works perfectly with these lines.

[00:27:27] Yeah, because they're just sarcastic.

[00:27:29] It's like, oh what a wonderful life.

[00:27:32] So we're fun to think along too.

[00:27:34] And yeah, she was the perfect choice for that.

[00:27:36] And then especially from since you've just been listening to kind of mostly unfinished

[00:27:41] songs and or covers, this one actually is fully fledged.

[00:27:45] So like there's two bridges there from Nick Lund, Cheryl.

[00:27:49] Give the song a whole other dimension there and yeah I think this one is a highlight in

[00:27:54] like the full girls allowed discography.

[00:27:57] And I will always remember though I did not know what androgynous meant before this song

[00:28:02] came out because obviously I was like 13 or 14.

[00:28:05] But so now whenever I hear that word like if anyone uses it in any sentences I think of

[00:28:09] this song because that's how I learned of those work.

[00:28:12] Yeah.

[00:28:13] Also.

[00:28:14] Yeah, yeah.

[00:28:15] This one I will give it a nine.

[00:28:16] Yeah, this one's like a book games is a nine for me as well.

[00:28:19] Okay, up next is loving his easiest written by the members of girls allowed Sean Lee,

[00:28:24] Lisa Cowley, Nick Coler, Brian Higgins and Miranda Cooper of Xenomania.

[00:28:28] And it's one of the b size for the wake meet up single Kim on the first verse, right?

[00:28:34] Yes.

[00:28:35] Okay.

[00:28:36] Thank you.

[00:28:37] And the second verse.

[00:28:38] And the thank you adds make sure because it's one of those things unfortunately that

[00:28:41] I've come to notice that if I don't hear someone enough, which is what happens with a lot

[00:28:47] of their songs, identify who's singing.

[00:28:50] Of course I can identify like a Nicolas because her voice stands out.

[00:28:53] Like you mentioned with the innocence and her bright timber of a voice Sarah, Cheryl, but

[00:28:58] like him because she gets kind of like whole voice is kind of low in subtle tunes.

[00:29:03] We were on a slow track.

[00:29:04] I'm like, but she holds it down so well.

[00:29:08] She didn't have wasted jobs in such a delicious way in that first verse.

[00:29:12] And then Cheryl singing the pre Nadine, I'm sorry, my bad Nadine singing that one I knew

[00:29:17] I just did not write that properly.

[00:29:19] Sorry, giving the angst and such.

[00:29:21] I mean, I feel like the Ulysses singing in the chorus feels so rainy day and the line about

[00:29:27] the journey called life doesn't like me too much.

[00:29:30] Very, very dramatic, I will say.

[00:29:33] Yeah, so Kim held it down.

[00:29:34] This is her song.

[00:29:35] I loved it.

[00:29:36] It's all purple here.

[00:29:38] Oh my god.

[00:29:39] And also this is why I need visuals coming.

[00:29:40] She's on performances of this anywhere.

[00:29:42] No, I feel like the lyrics are relatable.

[00:29:44] But I like this one.

[00:29:46] I think maybe because I just felt a little bit biased toward Kim's soul performance.

[00:29:50] I'm sorry for mistaken.

[00:29:51] He has a Nicola.

[00:29:52] But yeah, I feel like I just like the way she sounded but you know what all that and all

[00:29:57] the compliments.

[00:29:59] The song is not that dynamic or at least it didn't really affect me.

[00:30:06] The way I'm probably making it sound.

[00:30:08] I just appreciated what I heard.

[00:30:11] And I think Kim's gonna be true at the same time I can appreciate what I heard and also

[00:30:15] think that what I heard needs a little bit more.

[00:30:17] So when I got, that was pretty decent.

[00:30:21] Okay.

[00:30:22] So to give some context, if you remember back to the well-within-aversate album like

[00:30:25] each girl had a co-write on there essentially.

[00:30:28] So I think this is an additional Kimberly co-write and they probably were like we already

[00:30:32] have the three ballots like hear me out.

[00:30:34] I say a prayer a hundred different ways so then they were like, okay let's choose Big

[00:30:38] Brother and make me daddy for the album to you know get some upbeat ones in there.

[00:30:43] So I always say like this one and then history the next song we're gonna talk about are

[00:30:46] like the five member mid tempo co-writes like they're kind of like yeah.

[00:30:52] So that's more context.

[00:30:53] So I assume this is Kimberly's co-write just because she does sing almost the whole thing

[00:30:58] and then for publishing reasons they just credit like the whole group for everything.

[00:31:01] So yes, I agree.

[00:31:02] I think Kimberly sounds amazing on these verses.

[00:31:05] This is such a good showcase of her voice.

[00:31:08] She really does excel in the lower register because she is able to like hold it down and

[00:31:13] she has you know just a nice like thick and kind of warm tone so it just sounds really

[00:31:18] nice down there.

[00:31:19] And yeah with the second verse her kind of harmonizing over herself as well as creates.

[00:31:24] I do think it was the right choice to not make it a completely solo song though and get

[00:31:28] Nadine to kind of come in and balance things out a bit more on that first verse.

[00:31:32] And she also kind of does the ends of those choruses as well because she's just naturally

[00:31:36] just a much more powerful singer so it's just to give the song a bit more energy.

[00:31:41] I think that was definitely the right choice to do.

[00:31:44] Yeah, but yeah the chorus melody is pretty but that lyric that you pointed out about

[00:31:49] their journey called like not liking them very much.

[00:31:52] I'm like girls two of you are still teenagers like Nikoland Nadine are still like what 18

[00:31:57] or 19 at this point.

[00:31:58] You don't even go through shoe out on the summer of 19 days is that maybe they went to

[00:32:02] summer.

[00:32:03] You still got a long way to go so hopefully it gets better.

[00:32:08] Right.

[00:32:09] Yeah, I mean it just feels like something that you know like a 40 year older someone would

[00:32:13] like say and it would sound very profound you know.

[00:32:17] Yeah.

[00:32:18] So then when you have like two teenagers and like three 20 year olds saying it's like okay

[00:32:23] like calm down.

[00:32:24] Yeah, maybe life is rough and being a gingerbread.

[00:32:27] Sure.

[00:32:28] Yeah, yeah.

[00:32:29] Oh good.

[00:32:30] Yeah, I think it's a decent track.

[00:32:34] I don't think it's as good as the three mid tempo co-rides that made the album though

[00:32:38] so I do understand why it's not on there.

[00:32:41] Yeah.

[00:32:42] And then actually do remember this was originally released actually not on the CD single

[00:32:45] but I think it was a seven inch.

[00:32:46] And so we got like a really bad rip of it for many years before someone found like

[00:32:52] the high quality like CD version anyway.

[00:32:55] Yeah, so there's that's a fun fact.

[00:32:57] And do it with the janky nissy for you got the good stuff.

[00:33:01] God I got it.

[00:33:02] Yes.

[00:33:03] So I will give this one a 7.5.

[00:33:06] How about you?

[00:33:07] Oh, for me this one's a six and it's okay.

[00:33:09] Okay.

[00:33:10] The next one is history and this one was also credited to the members of girls allowed

[00:33:15] Sean Lee, Tim Rolf, Larcombe, John Shaive, Miranda Cooper and Brian Higgins of San

[00:33:20] Emanuea and this was also a beside for the wake me up single.

[00:33:24] This was on the CD single and like the last one, I think this one is actually a Cheryl

[00:33:29] co-write clearly because she sings the entire thing.

[00:33:33] I really don't like this song actually it's definitely one of my least favorite songs

[00:33:38] in the girls allowed discography.

[00:33:41] So sorry Cheryl but I think this song is so boring like it's such a slog production wise

[00:33:48] there's literally nothing even to talk about like it's like there's nothing happening

[00:33:52] in the back there.

[00:33:53] I guess it matches the melody of the song.

[00:33:56] I guess but literally there's like nothing happening.

[00:33:58] There's no like interesting sounds.

[00:34:00] There's no like flourishes of anything.

[00:34:02] It's just like very just kind of this droning kind of like a synthy thing.

[00:34:07] Yeah.

[00:34:08] Yeah.

[00:34:09] I think the lyrics are actually written pretty well, but melodically it just like it just

[00:34:14] doesn't do anything.

[00:34:16] The melody is just like pretty boring and I think Cheryl's execution is all right.

[00:34:21] Like I do think she emotes well in this case, but this song would have just really benefited

[00:34:27] from some of the other girls coming in like when the chorus hits that second time around

[00:34:32] and you hear Nikola and Sarah leading it.

[00:34:35] It's like oh thank god like something else happening here and it wakes it up a little

[00:34:39] bit.

[00:34:40] I will say I do like the bridge actually like Cheryl's little these squeeze and all that

[00:34:46] like I like that.

[00:34:47] She sounds good like harmonizing over herself there.

[00:34:49] Yeah.

[00:34:50] But yeah, then it needed like Sarah and Adina coming with some ad live or something like

[00:34:54] I don't know.

[00:34:55] There's just like no life in the song and then it's long as well.

[00:34:58] It's like over four minutes like over 430 actually so it's not great for me.

[00:35:05] Yeah.

[00:35:06] I wrote that it dragged.

[00:35:07] Yes.

[00:35:08] The lyrics the storytellies there is potential in it but it feels like another standard

[00:35:12] issue kind of track.

[00:35:14] And I think maybe because there is no other voices throughout as you've been saying the

[00:35:18] demo feel is real without this especially with those deep breaths throughout the chorus.

[00:35:23] The fact that I heard someone kind of gasping for air as they're singing the chorus.

[00:35:26] Yeah, no, that's a no, no.

[00:35:29] Why did it when I got that out?

[00:35:31] But I do wonder if the song could have like how you say benefited from different vocal

[00:35:37] textures and harmonies throughout as you mentioned but aside from the I know Cheryl wrote

[00:35:42] it or co-wrote rather I do wonder what the sugar based would have done this song because

[00:35:48] this kind of like the harmonies I was like, I love it needs as many voices or what would

[00:35:54] have benefited from having voices that are a little bit more like raspy and a little

[00:35:59] bit more.

[00:36:00] I don't know if for something for me I just feel like I want to hear them try this out

[00:36:03] because I think those bells and a media like degrees of separation.

[00:36:07] I feel like it could be done but just also I just like their voices and I would rather

[00:36:12] have heard like them sing it then the girls allowed thing it and I know that sounds

[00:36:17] probably a little messed up but I like this.

[00:36:19] The I think because it was so slow and so like moody not moody the lyrics were very much

[00:36:27] obvious there's no cookiness to it very straightforward that's the word I'm using here I want

[00:36:32] to use here I feel like the little earth that I need could be delivered by the sugar

[00:36:37] based we have like mooties a little more raspy voice you have Kishu private could

[00:36:40] have done some wrong Heidi at the time could have done a little something you know I'm

[00:36:44] saying so all those others that you could have had with Nadine and Sarah could have been

[00:36:48] one little Heidi thing going off in the back or Kishu going you know I'm saying so I do

[00:36:53] like to kind of think oh what are with this person was not singing the song I mean happens

[00:36:56] in music to this freaking day but whether or not y'all are green it's fine but for me

[00:37:00] I just feel like it would have benefited from other voices yeah maybe just not girls

[00:37:05] allowed their group it doesn't make us a terrible song the talent is present and obvious but

[00:37:10] it's just not the track that I would be like oh yeah I don't think the song is even

[00:37:15] good enough for anyone else to sing it like I think it would need a major rewrite I don't

[00:37:19] know it's just not there yet I think yeah maybe we're young and just start now so I show

[00:37:26] yeah for sure for sure all right so yeah I will give this one a five how about you oh and

[00:37:34] they will then they'll move because of the whole chic way thing I say I was only able to

[00:37:37] sing it so yeah I'm next is I'm every woman written by Asperin Simpson and also produced by

[00:37:46] absolute so of course this is a cover of I'm everyone by Shaka Khan and it is definitely more

[00:37:52] inspired by the D the House version done by Whitney Houston this is originally recorded for the

[00:37:57] Discominia compilation and television special that featured other huge British pop acts like Liberty

[00:38:02] eggs Rachel Stevens of S Club 7 Jerry Howell of the Spice Girls and V who we just interviewed so

[00:38:08] definitely check that out and they were all covering disco track so you know this one if it's

[00:38:14] right into it I'm every woman is it is it is it is timeless and it's a lot to live up to so how do

[00:38:21] you feel about their performance the rendition the far as with standing not great I would hopefully

[00:38:30] say this is one of girls loud's worst covers here because I mean it's hard this song is hard to

[00:38:38] sing like the original and the Whitney version and a lot of other covers are all very very good you know

[00:38:44] so it's just a lot to live up to and you know girls allowed and sing but you know this just takes

[00:38:50] you know another level of that I think the production is fine you know it's decently made again

[00:38:58] they're not trying to like be that creative with it it's a kind of just a very on the nose cover

[00:39:05] but it's done well like all the elements sounds on well done I think the session singer is kind

[00:39:10] of taking over all the backing vocals and and then behind them on the chorus and stuff definitely

[00:39:14] makes it feels very karaoke and kind of like they kind of went into the studio and you should have

[00:39:19] kind of one take up the whole song and they just kind of took beat verses from each person as they

[00:39:25] felt to ever sound adverse yeah but I think they did an all right job I think if there's one

[00:39:30] line that Nikola does where she she sounds amazing yeah like transitions until like a head voice

[00:39:34] then belts the was like okay and Sarah you know she was living her best life with those whales at the end

[00:39:41] she went for it at least the Dean sounds good on the adlibs I think and the Kimberly does some

[00:39:46] she pushes quite a lot in her on her parts as well so I mean they tried like they did a decent job

[00:39:52] but it just doesn't fit their voices you know so they did what they could yeah I guess what do

[00:39:57] you think about the song before we talk about the performance I don't ever want to touch anything that

[00:40:02] Miss nippy has done herself ever I don't care too I'm not so it's hard because she was like the if

[00:40:09] I'm going to cover it I'm gonna I'm not gonna make you look bad but you go you're gonna be like

[00:40:14] thank you for covering it when I do it so it's tough to kind of like not hear especially when

[00:40:18] you do the Diva House version of it and not the original Sakakana I must say Sakakana couldn't say

[00:40:25] but hers was a little bit almost like this lay back I'm just open my mouth and sounds are coming

[00:40:30] out where Diva was like I'm gonna was it called like blow the house down like purposely like all

[00:40:35] the buildups and all the slight key changes and things like that that added like risk to the song

[00:40:43] I want to say Sakakana didn't do that but hers was just like I can sing hey my mouth is open you're

[00:40:47] gonna love it you know so Nikola was such a delight in the pre-hook for me I like what she said

[00:40:52] her vocal technique throughout like the was chest and then a little bit of falsetto head and

[00:40:58] their head voice in there so I liked it I might be biased but it stands out when you're surrounded by

[00:41:02] these the deans like oh growl he kind of boys and Sheryl's voice yet all he does very strong voices

[00:41:11] chesty voices are surrounding you it sounded nice I'm not gonna lie though it did give like

[00:41:17] ladies like white ladies at a karaoke bar toward the climax of the song which is what you said

[00:41:22] yeah like specifically for me just like that part of a movie where they're like you know

[00:41:28] they're all there the kind of tipsy they're just drinking and hollering because no offense

[00:41:33] like the harmonies do sound karaoke in their little bit mid hall and then their voices are not like

[00:41:39] in their nicely does that feel like as nice as wicked games and harmonies were blended and stacked

[00:41:45] right right you know things like that so that's where the comparison is coming from I'm in not just

[00:41:49] from Whitney and shocker but yeah it was a little rough and then we get to the climax of the song and

[00:41:56] the belt in the bridge felt a little strained I'm not gonna lie it is hard to sit there and sing it

[00:42:03] and sing it up the half step it is not easy to do I don't know when in Whitney did that again

[00:42:08] brilliance on her music director's part but like it's hard to recreate that version and then be

[00:42:14] like oh yeah because some of the notes got thrown away a little bit for me or sounded really

[00:42:19] like tight and was altered like digitally which is you know it was normal but I could hear it and

[00:42:24] was like I don't hate it the performance it kind of helped me like the song a little bit more

[00:42:33] because it was just like girls giving it their best shot but it also gave a little bit talent showy

[00:42:38] you know but the outfits were like it was like girls' inner-acens G and then they had these feather

[00:42:46] boas that were giving breakish showgirl there's a lot of discrepancies in terms of the concept

[00:42:51] that night and I'm confused as to why well those outfits I think they warned those outfits before

[00:42:58] like without the bow and all the flowers stuff but they've warned those before I don't know if it

[00:43:02] was for like the show maybe promo and stuff maybe yeah yeah colors tech yeah oh god that

[00:43:08] performance is so embarrassing but I find it really funny it's a deer egg because they're having fun

[00:43:14] you can tell but it's also giving like they learned this choreography like 30 minutes before the

[00:43:19] performance my god it's terrible choreography if you can even call it that like up in the down

[00:43:26] and then it's like yeah they are having fun with it at least a silo like yeah yeah it was

[00:43:34] enjoyable and yeah I do smile when I hear their cover because I think of the performance so I

[00:43:39] guess her be it also does kind of make this course slightly higher I guess yes yes yes what do you

[00:43:45] get it then well that is six wasn't great but it's just kind of like yeah I'll stick with the six

[00:43:52] as well yes okay so that is the end of the bonus tracks and b-sides from the well the

[00:43:59] neighbor say you're uh hey obviously there are a couple other kind of like special things that they

[00:44:06] put on the new deluxe edition as well so yeah thank you girls allowed in team yeah yeah all of

[00:44:13] that but before we wrap up we do have the cutter-keep section so if you had to cut one of these bonus

[00:44:21] tracks what was you cut and why I think what I would get rid of would definitely be his street

[00:44:31] yeah because I feel like they don't even need it because whole lot of his history eats it up oh

[00:44:35] oh you don't have not even on the same planet that's all it's like yeah yeah type in his

[00:44:42] stupid girls loud this one is even pop up on the oh as it should not yeah oh the should not

[00:44:48] doesn't want to pick it up as you know like absentee father doesn't want to pick it up it's just not

[00:44:52] it's not good so yeah he's taking I'm not afraid Cheryl darling love you but the song got to go

[00:44:58] you know I completely agree history I never listened to it this was probably the first time I

[00:45:02] listened to it in years actually if I had to keep a song there okay as much as I am now

[00:45:09] appreciating the wicked game cover I do have a soft spot for androgynous girls oh so I will still go

[00:45:14] with that one yeah yeah I don't know I picked that one too yeah but yeah wicked games definitely

[00:45:21] the special mention yes yeah sure let's do okay so your newer girls allowed fan but still the

[00:45:30] first time we've had unheard music in over 10 years so okay yeah what do you think of this whole

[00:45:35] anniversary release any overall thoughts on the well-being of say era as a whole now that we're

[00:45:40] kind of wrapping that up yeah so as you were saying it has been 20 years so I was like to kind of

[00:45:47] get the anniversary stuff and then being like the new fan obviously there's a lot more in store for us

[00:45:52] but it's interesting to see what the beginning of greatness is it's so fun you know because every

[00:46:02] I feel like every good artist needs like a the sophomore slump but they didn't have it really

[00:46:06] the kind of going up and up and up so it's kind of fun to hear that I am curious to hear what

[00:46:11] the others are gonna be like or sure yeah I do wish we could have got those wicked games visual

[00:46:15] collect like they would have been doing the utmost with their faces you know the dramatic oh yeah

[00:46:20] just fun thing because era was full of so much just like the videos were interesting but they

[00:46:27] were having fun it was a little bit more like lighthearted so yeah I think it's fun to listen to

[00:46:33] and actually hear voices you know maybe I'm a stick I feel like it's like oh snap wait who is

[00:46:39] that so I feel like I'm still discovering which is fun and I'm excited for what comes next for sure

[00:46:45] or sure if I appreciate the release of this stuff because a lot of artists are like

[00:46:49] effort it doesn't exist or it does exist I think she's like to die with them you know so yeah

[00:46:54] seriously like thank you fascination like they they were killing it with the steps stuff too

[00:46:59] and and they're killing it now with the girls allowed stuff so they are just yeah they're so good

[00:47:04] to the fans appreciate all this because yeah you know stuff they found is really cool like

[00:47:09] the love machine demos super fun like it you can understand from hearing it like why the girls

[00:47:14] were like this cannot be a single yeah I love the alternative verse on wake me up that they put out

[00:47:21] I will say that electronic mix about stand by you because we talked about this in our review

[00:47:26] that there are original version of all stand by you was supposedly this like experimental like

[00:47:31] weird version that they felt was like too risky for the charity single yeah but this

[00:47:36] electronic mix is like very very similar to the original one there's like a little bit more

[00:47:41] of like an 80s S kind of like sin thing going on into chorus but that's basically it I was like oh

[00:47:47] this isn't that odd so I my expectations were maybe a little too high for that one but yeah other than

[00:47:52] that I love having the performance edits as well because they used to only have like a three-minute

[00:47:56] limit right for these for these TV performances so it's kind of fun to have the edits that they

[00:48:00] perform to at the time or lipstick to at the time basically sure as well and also that all stand by

[00:48:06] you version has different girls seeing some of the lines as well so that's kind of interesting

[00:48:11] there um so yeah just kind of fun to listen through this to Lexa and yeah very excited to hear

[00:48:17] what they're gonna come up with for the next albums and anniversaries I mean

[00:48:22] they've been moving kind of quickly because obviously soundly on the ground just came out last

[00:48:25] year so I'm wondering if they're just gonna like use the momentum of the tour and everything to just

[00:48:28] kind of bang it out every couple months or just gonna celebrate all the albums while they're

[00:48:33] actively promoting and stuff and then yeah of course we are going to the tour that you with us along
