Sonny PooniHOST
Okay.
Sonny PooniHOST
Steven, when I Wanna Rock peaked at number 68 on the Billboard Hot 100, it was October 10th, '84, what was the number one song in the country? Was it Dress You Up, Madonna, Keep the Faith, Billy Joel, When Doves Cry, Prince, or Caribbean Queen by Billy Ocean?
Steven MichaelHOST
When Doves Cry.
Sonny PooniHOST
That is incorrect.
Sonny PooniHOST
It was Caribbean Queen, and I knew you would do that because you would do it off that other question, 'cause you're an idiot, that's why.

Heavens on Fire by Kiss, When Doves Cry by Prince, or Against All Odds by Phil Collins?
ScottHOST
What the hell?
LukeHOST
What the hell? Or was it When Doves Cry by Prince? Can see the a- the animals theme-
ScottHOST
Right
LukeHOST
...
LukeHOST
You've gotta try and guess that later on in the show.
LukeHOST
But these head-to-heads-
ScottHOST
When Doves Cry
LukeHOST
... will give you a clue.
AndyPANELIST
It's really a bad precedent.
PaddyPANELIST
And it'd be, it'd be fine to release the version of When Doves Cry with the bass in it.
PaddyPANELIST
And it was-
AndyPANELIST
Oh, yeah
MiguelHOST
What you got?
ChristinaHOST
I got pretty much what you've said as well, uh, except I will add When Doves Cry.
ChristinaHOST
I know you're not a big-
MiguelHOST
I can't do Prince
Nadia BowersGUEST
There are times when, yeah, when I, a certain way of seeing something or, you know, we both really loved Prince and Bob Ross.
Nadia BowersGUEST
There was this meme going around of Prince with Bob Ross' like afro in front of a painting saying, "Dig if you will the picture," and it's like that's the beginning of "When Doves Cry." It, I, I don't know if I'm explaining this good.
Nadia BowersGUEST
It seems sort of weird.
Nadia BowersGUEST
But, but these, like these, only these very little things that, you know, I wanna send to her.

Spotify.
Chris MolanphyHOST
That's more than double When Doves Cry and nearly five times the streams of Let's Go Crazy, both of which were number one hits.
Chris MolanphyHOST
At least Prince had number one hits.
Chris MolanphyHOST
Speaking of Prince, I would propose that the ultimate number two hit of the 1980s is from the man they call The Boss.
Victor MenegauxGUEST
So I just made an edit because I really wanted a better edit.
Victor MenegauxGUEST
Again, we're always redoing the classics of When Doves Cry, and I want it to be exactly on beat, and I want it to just be the way I wanted it, 'cause I do these, these mixes for this radio station that does like throwbacks and shit, and I, I wanted it for that.
Victor MenegauxGUEST
So I made it.
Victor MenegauxGUEST
And the thing people always talk about when it comes to that song is it does not have a bassline.
AmandaHOST
The wh- We'll obviously get there.
AmandaHOST
I liked the vibe of When Doves Cry in that moment, as in, like, not necess- what are you, what is it when the song's playing in the-
