Hey waters here from the waters wake up call this morning our tunes day topic was tunes that bond us unite us bring us together
Let's that's one immigrant song.
Do we all scream that with Robert plant?
Yeah, and anybody you would ever be friends with would have to probably do that too I'll bet you play that song to test them.
I
this song in the upper peninsula in Michigan.
Yeah.
In the wilderness and it was awesome.
You just opened your lungs and you you screamed out the opening the immigrant song.
Yes.
You promised to scream that no matter where you are when I play it.
Yeah, we're driving it Indianapolis.
Just screaming the car.
Who's who's with you?
My husband and my son.
Do they scream when they hear it too?
I think they
might when I start?
Well, this will be their test.
It'll unite the family on the road
trip.
Exactly.
I do
a karaoke show at a bar on Saturdays.
There's two songs that always get the people all together.
Okay.
Marguerite of
it.
Yes.
And
Sweet
Caroline.
I don't think there's anyone who's breathing who doesn't do the ba-ba-ba and... That just wakes up the whole bar.
Yeah, that is such a group communal thing.
It's it's really become even more so than when it came out.
I mean, I don't think when that first came out people were going ba-ba-
No,
not like that.
There might have been a couple of people, but not the whole bar.
Yeah, but there's a couple of people.
They were weird.
Now they're cool like the rest of us.
Now
you're weird if you don't do it.
Exactly.
We are the world.
Yeah, that really says it's uniting all of us and it did.
We all bought it.
Yeah, we bought it.
We're trying to think and I still can't listen to it without crying.
Really?
Yep.
Yeah
Boy
we need the world to kind of come together like that now even more so than that I
think Yeah, I think so too
Yeah, it brings together whether your world is the community or your neighborhood or your city or your state or beyond the entire planet
Yeah,
it is yeah, you see all of these iconic musicians getting together and singing and
even some dead one
well that just
goes to show how powerful it is.
It brings together the living and the dead.
Yeah.
Geez.
They recorded that right after the American Music Awards.
So everybody would be there and then boom over to the recording studio and they all put it down after the awards.
It's still off to this day.
It'll never happen again.
Yeah.
Not like that.
No, certainly not.
That's kind of a poster song for today's show.
There you go.
There it is.
Well, we got to play it.
Okay.
All right.
Prepare to
I'm doing pretty good there, Mr. D-man.
How are you?
I get to give blood today.
You're giving blood, eh?
Good for you.
That's a good thing to do.
I'm sure you know that.
Yeah.
You're not going, hey, I'm going to go give blood and screw somebody up.
Well, maybe inadvertently, that's what you'll do, but I doubt
it.
I'm over six gallons now that I've given to the Red Cross.
Not like all at once.
No, I don't have that much of my body.
You know, I try to give blood, but I always get way too many questions, you know, like, uh, who's blood is that?
And where did you get that blood?
You know, I'm bringing in my big jug of- jug of blood.
Oh, cool.
Yeah, well, it's good for you, man.
Way to- way to donate a little blood.
Thanks, man.
So what can I do for you now that you're giving to the community like you're doing?
A song that unites everybody.
Yes.
Every time I go so-
and then hey when chump shows up yeah
Intro just everybody to look at each other and they
just know what it is like nod their head and
their eyes just get bigger than life Strikes your spine.
Yeah, I
want to say it that way.
Yeah It helps us all jump together even if we're not physically jumping we're jumping inside Our inner trampoline starts coming live man.
I gotta buy one of those an inner trampoline
Yeah,
I gotta buy
one of those
well, you know, I think they're available at
a fleet farm, I believe.
Well, I'll go there sometime.
Yeah.
So next time Jump comes on, when you're in public, you'll be prepared.
Hey, we'll do that.
Jump.
Jump, baby.
Money for nothing.
How does it unite us?
That's the Tunes Day topic.
Tunes that bring us all together.
I'm going on 65 years old and I was there at the beginning of the MTV revelation with my two young sons and that song came out.
And every time I heard that first guitar rip hit the sound waves, I said, oh, hell, yeah, there it is.
There is something about that guitar sound.
It's different than anything else.
Yes, it is.
Yes, it is.
It really is.
It's
got my oldest song in front of the TV.
Every time the song with it by Devo came on, that was his favorite song.
When you're talking about music uniting you and your kids, it was more so like MTV and the videos uniting you.
Yes, very much.
Yeah, yeah, that makes a lot of sense.
Well, that's cool.
Anything that can unite a mother with their children.
I mean, that's that
I've gone to concerts with them over the years.
Well, of course, that's awesome.
I think I think money for nothing is one of those two.
I think it unites everybody in the fact that everybody starts playing air guitar when that comes on.
Yeah.
Yeah.
KZ!
