Eric Carmen

That's what we do.

I'm hearing Eric Carman's All By Myself as Jimmy Mack is fist pumping the Darth Plagueis.

Darth Plagueis!

All by myself.

I mean, you will too, but Lance will say that was a terrible song and it was.

uh the old eric carmen song you know turn the radio up yeah there's a lot of middle-aged women that like to ride around and uh lip sync that in their car have you seen that tick tock trend i do not know why we're doing this

they're in a thong no i haven't that's my rabbit hole It's thongs.

I don't know why.

You don't need to be in my band.

I want to put people like, you know, Eric Carman and and other, you know, from the Raspberries and other people that aren't getting that's who I want to put.

But they all wanted to play with Ringo because he was cool, and he was great, and he was a great musician.

And he's a freaking

So he's leaving the Jack and Ginny Wilborn media room.

I'll be staying and will be with Eric Carman's.

I guess we're not.

I'm not all by myself.

Not all of them had you heard before.

You get the montage where Baby and Johnny are kind of working out on the, they're working their routine and you get Eric Carman's Hungry Eyes.

You know, that wasn't a song like everybody's going to reminisce about the 60s.

I don't even think it was of the time, you know? And then you just have the whole soundtrack that I could picture the cassette when I bought it.

I mean, he had good creds.

He had done Eric Carman, Air Supply, but he didn't do anything like rock, heavy rock or punk rock or anything.

And

he didn't really have any idea what the Nervous Leaders were.

don't wanna stop with someone new Cause I couldn't bear to see you then Just like

Eric Carman's Never Gonna Fall In Love Again is based on the main theme from the third movement of the Second Symphony by which Russian composer? Tchaikovsky.

No. Who's coming in? Ben Spicer.

Rachmaninoff? Is the right answer.

I'm going to be joined by former rock journalist Mike Bartlett.

He calls himself a recovering music snob and he wrote a piece saying that Eric Carman belting out of the family car was a sign.

that his kids have truly changed his music tastes.

Are you like him? Have kids changed your musical menu or have you dug in? Are you still that proud music snob and why? Joining me now, well, in a moment is Mike, but Tamara, you've called in about this.

And I thought, it was daggy, it was over, you know, it seems synthetic and shallow.

Yeah.

But then hearing the kids love it and seeing the way it connected with them and that Eric Carman track you played at the beginning was absolutely the kind of the turning point there.

Just made me realise that the things I'd written off for not fitting with my identity at the time, and, you know, music was such a key element of that, would, you know, still had merit and that there was a lot of...

So in doing some research for this, because like you, I always also from memory... thought that it was and assumed it to be the Celine Dion version.

Because the song is originally by Eric Carman.

Oh, okay.

A hit from the 80s.
