Walking on Sunshine

Song that makes me happy.

There's this song called "I'm Walking on Sunshine."

Oh, yeah.

"I'm walking on sunshine"

"Walking on sunshine."

I love that song.

I mean, there's royalties that when your song gets played, or if a, something you wrote gets played in a commercial.

I never will forget reading in Q Magazine once, the song c- Walking on Sunshine by Katrina and the Waves.

There was a guy that wrote that in the band, the guitarist, named Kimberly Rew.

It was a guy named Kimberly, and he gets, like, 500,000 pounds a year, every year, because Walking in Sunshine gets used in so many things.

So question number one, what would your walk-up song be?

I wanted it to be "Final Countdown", like Job on Arrested Development, and just, like, some jazz hands, but in reality it's probably "Walking on Sunshine".

Ooh.

Casey and the Sunshine Band, is that right?

[laughs]

I, and I was a music major too.

[singing] I'm walking on sunshine.

Anyway, not very good.

interesting side note, because you mentioned, yeah, which is obviously, remember, for Spuler, it's a staple of quite a few 80s movies.

But this movie also has Walking on Sunshine by Katrina and the Waves, which it turns out, I didn't know this until I was looking into this for this movie, that Katrina and the Waves is actually the most played song.

It's the song that's been used in more movies than any other song.

apparently like it's it's it's number one really yeah like movies and tv shows i think it's like the most used song of any song uh which

turns out they that's not even on the list it didn't even make that list which means

wow

walking on sunshine must be played just an ungodly amount of times because oh yeah so representative to us of 80s things but yeah it turns out walking on sunshine beats it by a country mile

Wow.

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

Walking On Sunshine.

No, no.

Yeah.

Would you shut up?

[laughs] Did you-

New Walking on Sunshine.

God.

And as ever, I have a great selection of 80s classics for you today, right across the decade.

Now, we just had a track called Walking on Sunshine from Katrina and the Waves.

Well, we have still had some sunshine before.

And it's been all right.

Two completely different tours.

You know who helped Katrina and the Waves, that Walking on Sunshine song? I love that song, man.

And she did that.

But you know what? The first act song only did like 10 minutes.

You know what's really

sad? They call it one-hit wonders.

Like, dude, you write Turning Japanese, you write Walking on Sunshine, you shouldn't be put down for that.

You know what I mean? I don't like

What is it that you've got here for us?

Walking on Sunshine by Katrina and the Waves, because I am deep down a heliophysicist.

You love the sun.

I do.

So I went through a few, and I think I went with not a favorite song, but I think it's a song that's purely happy all the way through.

And it's Katrina and the Waves Walking on Sunshine.

Of course.

Which is 1983.

I gotta hold myself down.

Yeah, super fun.

And it's interesting, too, the I'm walking on sunshine, whoa, I'm walking on sunshine, whoa, I'm walking on sunshine, whoa.

They're going from the five to the four, five, four, five, four, five.
