ChrisHOST
Rather than writing it himself, Essex reached out to two of the industry heavyweights.
ChrisHOST
The music was composed by the brilliant Mike Batt, who we met all the way back in episode four with the Caravan song, the man famously known for orchestrating the thematic sounds of The Wombles, while the words were penned by the legendary theater lyricist Tim Rice.
ChrisHOST
The production values were immaculate, featuring engineering by Lawrence Diana, Greg Jackman, and Mike Nacito, while mastering handled by Dennis Blackman.
ChrisHOST
Vaughan Thomas and Mike Batt themselves even stepped into the booth to provide the lush background vocals that gave the track its distinct comforting depth.
KelseyHOST
... about the song.
CarmenHOST
Anyways, uh, off of the Jesus Christ Superstar soundtrack, it's from the 1970 album, musical, yeah, Andrew Lloyd Weber and Tim Rice.
CarmenHOST
Um, sorry.
CarmenHOST
Released October 16th, 1970 in the UK, and October 27, 1970 in the United States.
ClarenceGUEST
Yeah.
GraceHOST
Um, it's based on the 1970 concept album and 1971 stays, m- stage musical by Tim Rice and Andrew Lloyd Webber.
GraceHOST
It was co-written by Jewison and Melvin Bragg for this film.

ClarenceGUEST
Mm-hmm
ScottHOST
...
ScottHOST
Tim Rice and Andrew Lloyd Webber were doing that, uh, didn't go anywhere, and then they, you know, rewrote lyrics to add it into this.
GraceHOST
Mm-hmm.
ErikHOST
Yeah
ShannonHOST
... because you've got Hans Zimmer doing the score, you've got Elton John doing the music, you've got Tim Rice writing the lyrics, and then you got Lebo M., who adds the, the chant in Zulu at the beginning.
ShannonHOST
So, like...
ShannonHOST
And they're all writing these things separately, and-
ErikHOST
Mm-hmm
ShannonHOST
... kind of building on, like Tim Rice writes the lyrics first, hands them to Elton John, who famously wrote the music in a day.
ErikHOST
He's that, he is that kind of songwriter.
ShannonHOST
Wrote and recorded the demo.
Jack WhitehallGUEST
it.
Jack WhitehallGUEST
The other one that he reminds me of from time to time is that Andrew Lloyd Webber and Tim Rice came around to his office and they arrived, they'd cycled there.
Jack WhitehallGUEST
And they were sat in his office and they gave him the demo for Jesus Christ Superstar.
Jack WhitehallGUEST
And he said, I turned them down point blank because they were wearing bicycle clips in my office.
Matt BevanHOST
In last Thursday's episode, we looked at the 1982 war between the UK and Argentina over the Falkland Islands, and what could happen if Trump's close ally, the Argentinian president, Javier Milei, decides that he wants to have another go at taking those islands.
Matt BevanHOST
While I was writing that episode, we received an email from a friend of the show, global roaming producer Pat Sunderland, who used to work on our show.
Matt BevanHOST
He wanted to tell us about an incredible story he'd stumbled upon about a British psyop run during the war over the radio.
Matt BevanHOST
G'day, Pat.

Pat SunderlandGUEST
And so they start to do it.
Pat SunderlandGUEST
They recruit these British soldiers who have never done any sort of presenting in their lives but happen to have grown up somewhere in the region.
Pat SunderlandGUEST
To give an example of how much of a toff this guy is, to get more research about what kind of music they could play, what Argentinian people listen to, he calls up his friend Tim Rice-
Matt BevanHOST
Of course
Iain DaleGUEST
I can't remember the rest of it, but...
Iain DaleGUEST
I actually had to get permission from Tim Rice to use that.
Iain DaleGUEST
Did you? But luckily he's a friend, so he said yes.
Rupert FordhamHOST
It's all you have to know, every word I say to you is true.
Larry MaslonHOST
And it's nice to know that the Jackson 5 realized what a great song that was.
Larry MaslonHOST
Andrew Lloyd Webber and Tim Rice had a huge success with the concept album of Jesus Christ Superstar, and there were a number of singles that did very well.
Larry MaslonHOST
Yvonne Elliman from the original cast, but this charted slightly higher.
Larry MaslonHOST
Number seven, this is Helen Reddy with I Don't Know How to Love Him.
speaker_0HOST
Happy anniversary to one of my all-time favorite groups.

In 1979, the award-winning Andrew Lloyd Webber and Tim Rice musical Evita officially opened at the Broadway Theater on Broadway.
speaker_0HOST
It starred Patti LuPone as Eva Peron and Mandy Patinkin as Che.
speaker_0HOST
The hugely successful show defied the critical reviews that came out at that point, and it ran for 1,567 performances.
Megan BashamGUEST
I'm just a subscriber and I love it.
Megan BashamGUEST
And she a little bit took my colleague, Tim Rice to the woodshed.
Megan BashamGUEST
And I loved him, but I was kind of team Anne on her great piece that she wrote about it.
Megan BashamGUEST
And then Bethel was invited, I'm assuming by our upstream editor, Madeline Fry, to also write a rebuttal piece that was really wonderful.
