CarianneHOST
Yeah.
CarianneHOST
I mean, it would probably be something around that, wouldn't it? But they play all sorts of things in their house, don't they? They play Dido and things like Fleetwood Mac and things like that.
CarianneHOST
So I reckon, or it could be Bohemian Rhapsody, just to see if Lisa's Bohemian
Libby WhitmoreGUEST
Rhapsody
JoeHOST
I can't remember if it was Triple J or something.
JoeHOST
One of the radio stations, it still haunts me, it's the Dido song about I want to thank you for the best day of my life.
JoeHOST
And the song was remixed in Stan for Eminem, that song.
ManuelHOST
Mm-hmm.
Geoff TateHOST
I assume Enya
Bjorn Ryan GormanPANELIST
looks a lot like Dido, but I'd like to think she's wearing a Slipknot mask the whole time she does it.

spoil this for myself and
EileenHOST
If you haven't heard it, it's really good.
EileenHOST
It's called Stay On and the backbeat is Dido.
EileenHOST
It might be Thank You by Dido or it might be a different song, but it's a good Dido song and it's a really good track, Stay On by Eminem.
EileenHOST
I feel like I'm constantly telling you to listen to Eminem songs, but why wouldn't you? Sus is short for suspicious.
EileenHOST
Sus.
Asha BanksGUEST
I feel like it's one of those things where, you know, I just grew up listening to the music that my parents played, as most people probably do.
Asha BanksGUEST
And, you know, my mum was always playing like Joni Mitchell and like Dido and Norah Jones and just these kind of female voices, you know, often with guitars.
Asha BanksGUEST
And so that's what I started loving.
Asha BanksGUEST
And I think when I started writing, I never really thought about, and I don't know if I even do now, to be honest, like I never really think about genre.
ChrisHOST
Song number 1509 is a very interesting one from the year 2000, and that was released but then given a humongous boost by being sampled at the same time by a rap artist, which propelled both the rap artist's song and this song to a lot bigger heights.
ChrisHOST
I'm talking about the song Thank You by the English singer-songwriter Dido.
ChrisHOST
You wanna talk about a mouthful of a name, Dido Florian Cloud de Bounevialle O'Malley Armstrong [laughs] is her full name, from Kensington, London, England.
ChrisHOST
And my wife just asked, does her parents not like her? [laughs] Extremely popular in her native UK.
ChrisHOST
She has two albums that are among the 10 best-selling albums of the 2000s, the Here With Me from 1999 and Life for Rent in 2003.
ChrisHOST
It's the Here With Me that features the song Thank You, which Eminem received a copy of that song after it was released and decided to use it as a sample for his song Stan.
ChrisHOST
Now, Stan itself only peaked at number 51 in the US, although it went to number one in 12 different countries, including the UK.
ChrisHOST
For Dido, this additional attention paid to her song propelled it to a number three peak in the year 2001 after spending 29 weeks in the top 40.
McMaine and McKenzieGUEST

Dido.
McMaine and McKenzieGUEST
This life is for rent.
McMaine and McKenzieGUEST
It's for rent.
Louis PeitzmanHOST
And that was my research thing that I was like, Oh, that's, Pretty shocking.
Louis PeitzmanHOST
The only other important piece of research here is that the Dido song Thank You plays over the end credits, and a producer heard the song and then looped the opening lines and sent it to Interscope, who then put it on the Eminem song Stan.
Louis PeitzmanHOST
Oh, okay.
Louis PeitzmanHOST
That's a bit of a sliding doors moment.
Marya E. GatesGUEST
And then that's how it became a big hit, and Dido has... you know been a great like she made so much money from those two albums those her two good albums all because of sliding doors so there you go what if that had never happened
Dane McDonaldHOST
we wouldn't have we wouldn't have stan culture we wouldn't have
Louis PeitzmanHOST
we wouldn't have the word stan literally Gwyneth invented stanning um and
Louis PeitzmanHOST
So we'll just reiterate that as Dane jokes about our unironic standing of Gwyneth, which we do not do.
