Donna FeoreGUEST
One is General Cartwright.
Donna FeoreGUEST
The other is Sergeant Sarah Brown, Adelaide, and now in my show, Lieutenant Branigan.
Donna FeoreGUEST
The rest throw dice on the ground and hope for the best, right? So that is actually, in my opinion, too, why this show is so great.
Donna FeoreGUEST
As from a female perspective, those characters are smart.
Donna FeoreGUEST
The whole room was male, of course.
Donna FeoreGUEST
But maybe they didn't even know what they were doing, which makes it even more fun.
Donna FeoreGUEST
But let me tell you, when I put Lieutenant Branigan on the stage as a woman in her heels and her three-piece suit and her trench coat, spoiler alert, you haven't seen it yet, and watch 21 men cower when she walks on stage, so much pleasure for me.
Donna FeoreGUEST
So much pleasure.
Anthony CoronaHOST
So, you know, you have paid homage to Blondie and Deborah Harry.
Anthony CoronaHOST
And I can totally get the whole Goldie Hawn thing for, I have no idea, but my child brain for some reason was convinced that Laura Branigan and Brooke Shields were the same person.
Anthony CoronaHOST
I guess I just thought Brooke Shields was playing this other character.
Anthony CoronaHOST
You know, like one day she was Brooke and one day she was Laura, but whatever.
BJHOST
That was a song called Hold On by Billy Branigan from the Jumpin' Jack Flash soundtrack from 1986.
BJHOST
Billy was Laura Branigan's brother, and he had his own album come out on Polydor in 1986.
BJHOST
Jumpin' Jack Flash was the first film directed by Penny Marshall.
BJHOST
Up next, we're going to hear a song called Can't Run Away by a group called Room With A View.
Dave LyonsHOST
Big ol' hit for Vickie.
Dave LyonsHOST
It was covered by Laura Branigan in 1990, and it didn't fare quite as well.
Dave LyonsHOST
But then, it was covered by Gloria Estefan in 1994 for the film The Specialist, starring Sylvester Stallone and Sharon Stone.
Dave LyonsHOST
Oof.
Paul MackeyHOST
The Extraterrestrial, and the No. 1 film was Tex, starring Matt Dillon, which had just received wide release on November 19th.
Paul MackeyHOST
Looking at the Canadian music charts, according to the issue of RPM, dated November 27, 1982, No. 5 was Steppin' Out by Joe Jackson, No. 4 was Da Da Da by Trio, No. 3 was The Look of Love by ABC, No. 2 was Gloria by Laura Branigan, and the No. 1 song was Up Where We Belong by Joe Cocker and Jennifer Warrens.
Paul MackeyHOST
The highest charting maple certified Canadian artist was Chilliwack with Whatcha Gonna Do When I'm Gone, up one point to number 17 this week.
Paul MackeyHOST
So, what is this episode about? Louis spends the first part of the episode avoiding a deadbeat friend, Stanley, who always asks him for money and, in fact, still owes him money.
Kenny WebsterHOST
She's dead.
Kenny WebsterHOST
The song by Laura Branigan came out, I'd say around what, early to mid 80s, 82, 83, somewhere in that area.
Billy EdPANELIST
Okay.
Kenny WebsterHOST
And the reason I remember that is because that was the early years, the beginnings of something called the John Lander and the Q Zoo in Houston, Texas.
Mike ImbodenHOST
Third is Ah-Leah by Donny Iris.
Mike ImbodenHOST
Fourth is Gloria by Laura Branigan.
Mike ImbodenHOST
Michael Jackson comes in fifth with Billie Jean.
Mike ImbodenHOST
And then we have The Police with Roxanne.
AhmadAUDIENCE
Gloria.
Tommy LugauerHOST
Laura Branigan.
Tommy LugauerHOST
Laura Branigan, yeah, Gloria.
Tommy LugauerHOST
So it was attached that so anytime they got a goal or whatever, they'd play the song.
Tommy LugauerHOST
So that's a song that came out in the 80s.
Tim LongHOST
yeah.
Tim LongHOST
Number nine, Gloria by Laura Branigan, which is a great song.
Willie GibbsHOST
Yeah, Laura Branigan rules, man.
Willie GibbsHOST
She did that, and she did that cover of Self Control by Raph.
Tim LongHOST
Okay.
Dave GrendzynskiHOST
And in the viewer comments, Floria, I think they got your number.
Dave GrendzynskiHOST
Remember that one? Laura Branigan? Gloria? Gloria.
Dave GrendzynskiHOST
But we got Floria.
Dave GrendzynskiHOST
That fit better.
