RoulaHOST
And just like my children believe that our closure jingle is an original song to the Rhula Show with Eric.
RoulaHOST
They don't realize it's Closing Time by Semisonic.
KevinHOST
Yeah, the one hit wonder there.
RoulaHOST
Right.
Dan DavidsonGUEST
There w- you know, it's funny, though, 'cause the industry changes so fast.
Dan DavidsonGUEST
When I was first getting into a band, the drummer from that band Semisonic, you know, Closing Time, he wrote a book.
Dan DavidsonGUEST
It's called So You Want to Be a Rock Star, and I, I read it and I loved it, and it was so great.
Dan DavidsonGUEST
But by the time Tupelo Honey was kinda at that stage, nothing was applicable anymore.
Joel MartinHOST
Did you know that the singer from Semisonic, Dan Wilson, is, like, one of the biggest songwriters in the world? He wrote a bunch of the Adele 21 album, which is the best-selling album of the 21st century.
Joel MartinHOST
He's written hits for everybody.
Joel MartinHOST
So people think, oh, you know, one hit wonder, Semisonic, Closing Time.
Joel MartinHOST
Uh, but dude, this guy's written so many massive, massive hits.
Alicia StellaHOST
...
Alicia StellaHOST
Semisonic's Closing Time, you know? [laughs]
IanHOST
We hit a lot of, uh, alternative and emo-y music.
Alicia StellaHOST
It's mostly alternative.
Mosheh OinounouHOST
It's a story we're gonna watch very closely, uh, given the impact on our gas prices.
Jill WagnerHOST
I feel like Trump would prefer the, uh, line from Closing Time, "You don't have to go home, but you just can't stay here."
Mosheh OinounouHOST
That would be the message the Iranians are giving him, Jill.
Mosheh OinounouHOST
"You guys get out of here.
Mosheh OinounouHOST
This is, this is our playground," uh, if you will.
Mosheh OinounouHOST
Uh, but we could go back and forth with over Eagles and who sang Closing Time? Is that Semisonic? Why do I know that? [laughs]
Jill WagnerHOST
It is.
Jill WagnerHOST
I goo- I just Googled it.
Declan GoffHOST
Yep.
Phil MackeyHOST
And then if you can time it up to hit this one later in the night, the number two song on my big board is Closing Time by Semisonic.
Declan GoffHOST
Oh, wow.
Judd ZulgadHOST
Oh.
Declan GoffHOST
All right.
Phil MackeyHOST
Closing Time.
Phil MackeyHOST
'Cause it kind of fits with, you know, if you can hit it, you know, in the 1:00 hour if you're around that time.
Judd ZulgadHOST
Yeah.
BradHOST
Mbop by Hanson.
BradHOST
Sex and Candy by Marcy Playground, Closing Time by Semisonic, and then W.A.Y. Moby Polka by Weird Al Yankovic.
BradHOST
And as I said on the previous album, these always work, again, as long as he chooses the right songs.
BradHOST
Next, your horoscope for today, style of Real Big Fish, which, again, I've heard of them, but couldn't name anything else.
RoulaHOST
He doesn't realize-
SamHOST

Jason ElderHOST
And actually it's the restaurant where I met my wife, incidentally.
Jason ElderHOST
But I would sing Closing Time by Semi Sonic at the end of the night.
Jason ElderHOST
And that was anytime that song came on the radio, I turned it up and I sang Closing Time.
Jason ElderHOST
So do you have a song in mind or do you know what, do you know Closing Time? Do you know that song?
Mindy YoonHOST
I always feel bad when you ask me these questions.
Jason ElderHOST
i wish i could play it but i did also research if i could even play like 10 seconds of a song and they said i most said that like i'd get copyrighted or whatever it is even play in just a few seconds
Matt KellyHOST
And number four was I Love You More Today Than Yesterday by Spiral Staircase.
Matt KellyHOST
And my final prediction before we dive into these 20, Closing Time by Semisonic.
Matt KellyHOST
So that's what I'm putting out there.
Matt KellyHOST
I firmly expect that those five songs should be among these 20.

Robert ChoGUEST
This one's easy.
Robert ChoGUEST
It's Closing Time.
Robert ChoGUEST
And it's because when I was in residency, it came out during my residency and every case we closed with Closing Time.
Robert ChoGUEST
And so when it's Closing Time, it's Closing Time.
KellyHOST
It's amazing that that's also like the number one song in every dive bar in America.
