Jessie's Girl

... yes, sorry.

As my father's connecting with me emotionally and I'm feeling, you know, that poor little 14-year-old boy inside of him, the way he was treated, he then looks at me and goes, "Girl, you looking real good.

Did you get your stomach stapled?"

Oh, my God.

But if you can't afford any of that, it gives you 24/7 access to over 100 channels.

Yeah.

Listen, we watch Girlfriends on Pluto TV, 'cause it's free.

I love that.

Right.

And then that begs the question, you know, where, where does a cover become a continuation of an original song as opposed to, you know, or, or an expansion upon the idea of an original song? Because there's another one, Rick Springfield does, uh, a collab with Coheed and Cambria for a sequel to "Jessie's Girl".

[laughs]

Oh, cool.

What?

Yeah.

It's actually fucking sick because the story goes like he got Jessie's girl, and then-

Ah

But also, don't forget, if you want to help us with the Appeson Food Pantry, you can give online at www.appesonbaptist.com. That's A-P-I-S-O-N, appesonbaptist.com. I'll be right back after the music's done.

Jesse is a friend Yeah, I know he's been a good friend of mine But lately something's changed that ain't hard to define Jesse's got himself a girl and I wanna make her mine And she's watching him with those eyes And she's loving with that body, I just know it And he's holding her in his arms late, late at night No, I wish that I had Jessie's girl.

I wish that I had Jessie's girl.

Where can I find a woman like that? I'll play along with the charade.

There doesn't seem to be a reason to change.

I did not know that when he was originally on the show, he wasn't...

I guess because of our age, we always associated Rick Springfield with Jessie's Girl and kind of always assumed that they were known, but apparently...

Jesse's Girl didn't hit number one until after he was already on General Hospital.

So it was kind of simultaneously happening.

know.

I thought the same thing.

They hired him to boost the popularity because Jessie's Girl had already come out.

I didn't realize that that happened while he was on the show and that his character wasn't a major singer.

Uh, Kenzie, what do you got?

Takeaway from Jim, "Jessie's Girl," great song, horrible friend.

[laughs]

[laughs]

[laughs]

[coughs] Oh.

Also [laughs] on Brian and Kenzie Podcast, we talked about the good, the bad, and the ugly of Chicago sports, and the complicated legacy of Jessie's Girl.

All of that, including head to headlines on the Brian and Kenzie Podcast.

Yeah, that's my main two, I guess.

I'm sad for Jessie's Girl and Borderline Open Your Heart, but I understand why the other one got chosen at the same time.

Yeah.

That's like, yeah, not too many, but that's it from this round.

I guess Elliot's just showing what songs he can do for karaoke.

He can do this and his weird mashup of Best Friend's Girl and Jessie's Girl.

I guess what I'm showing is I know

the B-52s much better than I know the cars.

Eddie, '80s music.

Who sang the song Jessie's Girl?

[sighs] I wish that I was Jessie's girl.

Da, na, na, na.

Yeah.

Uh, the single One Week by the Barenaked Ladies was number one for exactly one week in 1998.

Amy, do you know that song?

It's been one week since she looked at me.
