Cotton Eye Joe

I don't.

I'm going to be singing that song in my head all night now.

Maybe I'll get your correct answer here.

Nisi, this one is for you, though.

All

right.

Derek, we're all singing this right now, but what Whitney Houston song became the best-selling single released by a woman in music history? I

hate music questions.

Let's do it.

Is it going to be a Cotton Eye Joe song? You can change the lyrics and just ruin him? Fuck that guy, dude.

Fuck Tom

Cotton.

Some people don't like the song.

Cotton Eye Joe?

[laughs]

Um, yeah, that's not bad.

Charry's fishing the fifth out of the back of the-

[laughs]

"Get out of bed, Cotton Eye Joe." [laughs]

[laughs]

I'm scared and freaking out and I'm chewing.

My second song that I'm entering into the vault is The Cotton Eye Joe.

And if you remember, once upon a time, I took over Touch Tunes at a bar and I played The Cotton Eye Joe and it absolutely cleared the place out.

And every time this song comes on, I really, really hope you do the dance.

I hope you dance.

Of course, of course.

How about this one? Would this kill it for you, Mars? It says the Daniel Radcliffe version of Cotton Eye Joe came on one time during the deed.

Mood killer for sure.

I hate that song with all of my might.

Like Harry Potter? Like Harry Potter singing Cotton Eye Joy?

Yeah.

Cotton Eye Joe? Yeah.

Let me find that for you.

What?

Cotton Eye Joe.

[laughs]

What?

[laughs]

Sorry.

I knew that was gonna get Brett and the fact that we're sitting, like, five centimeters away from... [laughs] Oh, shit, sorry Tess, I'm 100% listening, but when you sa- when you say, "Should I stay or should I go," my brain is just like, "Cotton Eye Joe." [laughs]

[laughs]

Over the top of one of the jangliest sort of.

I mean, it's not a million miles away from fucking Cotton Eye Joe.

No, no, it's not.

It really is not.

There was a fucking British, I think they were British, called Jilted John, who had a song called Gordon is a Moron, or was that the name of the song? And the same sort of thing where it's just kind of like, you listen to it and you think, oh, this is just silly.

And then you say, yeah, but I kind of dig it.

You know what I mean? You know, honestly, Kev, your comparison to Cotton Eye Joe is just not a long ways away.

Really, the music behind it is...

I'm trying to think.

Like, when people ask me like, "What's the worst song of the '90s?" I just say Cotton Eye Joe, which is not untrue, right? Because like it was like Swedish people-

Where did you come from, where did you go?

... clowning on Cotton.

Like it-

Yeah.

The whole village would hear it.

You would never play that song in any other context.

Right.

And the entire community knew that dance, knew that specific Dunuba dance.

Yeah, I love that movie too.

It felt good.

So remember the song, We Don't Talk About Bruno? Yeah, that's

unhealthy.
