Love Hurts

Yeah.

How dare you not take me for candy? We then have Love Hurts by Nazareth playing as we see the mum dancing and the sister and boyfriend are making out and just Michael is all on his lonesome.

And we then see the sister's tits and just because.

And her boyfriend is now trying to scare her by wearing the classic William Shatner costume.

And I remember in this movie, he's got a needle drop of Kiss, God of Thunder playing.

And I think Nazareth, Love Hurts plays in this movie.

Yeah, I mean, it's schlocky.

I like Rob Zombie schlocky when it's like House of a Thousand Corpses and Devil's Rejects.

And last thing I'll say is the licensed music in this film continues to be amazing.

Love Hurts, there's I think two different versions of it.

The one that ends the movie is just haunting.

I fucking love it.

And, I mean, again, I feel with the ending, they kind of covered their asses both ways.

Because the theatrical cut that Nick is referring to, Laurie sort of becomes the next Michael Myers for potential part three that is likely never to materialize.

In the uncut version, Laurie is killed, and it's basically the same thing as that scene at the end where they say love hurts, and she's in the mental institute, and she sees the horse.

That's mostly her transitioning to the afterlife or whatever.

I thought that was very cool.

Um, Love Hurts I think really, really, you know, when I hear that song now I prefer that version to the, the Nazareth version for sure.

No, I, I, I dug it.

I thought it was a nice complement to the images.

He talked about taking influence from punk ba- punk bands like The Pixies and some of the way that, that you would play on the, the high ends and the lows and you have in-betweens.

And I guess I can get there was intention behind that.

I don't love the use of, like, the modern music with it, like the, the Love Hurts stuff.

Mm-hmm.

He also had four Grammy Awards out of 14 nominations.

He also won Best R&B Album trophies for Voodoo and Black Messiah, along with a Best Male R&B Vocal Performance win for his single Untitled (How Does It Feel?". He was named by Rolling Stone magazine as being one of the 200 greatest singers of all time.

In 1974, the eighth annual Country Music Association Awards took place. It was at the newly opened Grand Ole Opry House. Yeah. It's really not that old. I always thought that it was, like, way back, but nope, newly opened back in 1974. In any event, this was the year that Charlie Rich was named Male Vocalist of the Year when his record Behind Closed Doors picked up trophies for Album of the Year and also Single of the Year. In 1985, Ricky Skaggs was named Entertainer of the Year at that Country Music Association Awards, which was their 19th annual, and it had Kris Kristofferson and Anne Murray hosting that night.

The album hit number four on the Billboard albums chart. It had Girls Just Want To Have Fun, Time After Time, and she also won two Grammy Awards, including Best New Artist.

In 1985, INXS released Listen Like Thieves. This was their fifth studio album. It was their international breakthrough, since they're from Australia, as a reminder.

Three great songs back to back to back on that album. One of my favorite albums of all time, I might add. In 2016, JoJo released Mad Love. This was her return. It was the first studio album that she was allowed to record in 10 years because of her contractual battles with her old record label, because they were a bunch of idiots. Debuted at number six on the Billboard albums chart. It had songs like Music and F Apologies, and you can pretty much figure out what the F stands for, especially after 10 years of not being able to record. Singles that were released on October the 14th include in 1963, when The Marvelettes released As Long As I Know He's Mine. This was released on the Tamla label, which was a predecessor to Motown.

This time they released Too Many Fish in the Sea.

Cash Box Magazine used to be the rival to Billboard back in the day. In 1969, Diana Ross & The Supremes released Someday We'll Be Together. This was Diana Ross' final studio recording with the group before she ended up going on a relatively successful solo career, and by relatively, I mean extremely successful.

Spent three weeks at number one on the Mainstream Rock Tracks chart. And in 2016, Max featuring Nash released Lights Down Low. This was originally released as a promotional solo snippet earlier in the year, but then be- officially became a single on this date in 2016, and it hit number 20 on the Billboard Hot 100 Singles chart.

me.I thought, "Well, this is a really good song." I had no idea it was a cover until years later.

And the same thing for Love Hurts.

I had heard...

Is it Nazareth that does that?

Yeah, good version.

Yeah.

Love hurts, love scars.

Love wounds and marks.

But that vocal performance only happened because the band accidentally recorded it in the wrong key, a full octave higher than the key the singer usually sang in.

Talking about Nazareth with Love Hurts.

And the story of who first recorded it might surprise you.

Love hurts.

The song came from Felice and Boudleaux Bryant, a husband and wife team who ruled the '50s and '60s.

They wrote a lot of big ones.
