They're unbelievable.
Copy !req
14. I heard them for the first
time on Thursday
Copy !req
15. and I haven't slept since.
Copy !req
16. I was in my kitchen
doing my kitchen chores,
Copy !req
17. and I was listening to
this classic rock station,
Copy !req
18. 'cause my hands were soaped and
I couldn't change the channel.
Copy !req
19. All right, it's about
10 minutes after 9:00
Copy !req
20. and the snow's
really falling, so,
Copy !req
21. to all of you out there
in winter wonderland,
Copy !req

Copy !req
23. to the only classic
rock music station
Copy !req

Copy !req
25. WKUP, you're on the air.
Copy !req
26. What was that song
you just played?
Copy !req
27. Yeah, good one.
Copy !req
28. Uh, you got a pen
and paper handy there, pal?
Copy !req
29. Yeah.
Copy !req
30. Got it.
Copy !req
31. Okay, well, the name of
the song is "Baba O'Riley."
Copy !req
32. Uh-huh.All right, it's not
"Teenage Wasteland,"
Copy !req
33. even though they say
"Teenage wasteland"
Copy !req
34. 100 times and
"Baba O'Riley" zero times.
Copy !req
35. I guess if you write
a song that good,
Copy !req
36. you could give it
whatever dumbass title
Copy !req
37. you want.
-Okay.
Copy !req
38. And the name of the group
is The Who, all right?
Copy !req
39. The Who, that's what
they're called.
Copy !req
40. Jot that down
so we don't get into
Copy !req
41. a Goddamn Abbott and Costello
routine over here, all right?
Copy !req
42. Thank you very much.
Copy !req
43. Um, could you please
play it again?
Copy !req
44. -Come on.
-Sorry, pal.
Copy !req
45. I'd love to, but some guy
just requested "Jeremy"
Copy !req
46. by Pearl Jam, so...
Copy !req
47. Okay.
I'll try another station.
Copy !req
48. You could also look
it up online,
Copy !req
49. but whatever
you want to do.
Copy !req
50. Anyway, thanks
for listening, all right?
Copy !req
51. Hello.
Copy !req
52. Could you please play
"Baba O'Riley" by The Who?
Copy !req
53. "Baba O'Riley" by The Who.
Copy !req
54. Okay.
Copy !req
55. "Baba O'Riley" by...
Copy !req
56. "Baba O'Riley" by The Who.
Copy !req
57. ...The Who.
Copy !req
58. Woman: Well, okay.
Copy !req
59. Thank you.
Copy !req
60. Whoo! Let's get together
Copy !req
61. Come on in.
You've got to hear this song.
Copy !req
62. You've gotta. You've gotta hear
more of this song.
Copy !req
63. Oh, I'm sorry.
Copy !req
64. I can't give you
any pizza.
Copy !req
65. No, no, no, no, no!
Copy !req
66. No, no, no, no, no,
no, no, no, no!
Copy !req
67. He tried the pizza! Don't eat it!
Copy !req
68. And that's it.
Copy !req
69. I've been a Who fan ever since,
and I've been up for three days
Copy !req
70. straight listening
to the new Who song.
Copy !req
71. Sorry to ramble, but I also
had another first this morning.
Copy !req
72. I finally tried
Starbucks coffee.
Copy !req
73. A little fancy for my taste,
but, boy, do I feel alive.
Copy !req
74. You know, the first week
listening to a new favorite song
Copy !req
75. is kind of intoxicating.
Copy !req
76. I wouldn't have unusual
circumstances,
Copy !req
77. but I just got a new CD player
installed in my car.
Copy !req
78. So, you have heard
the song before?
Copy !req
79. What?!
Of course I've heard the song.
Copy !req
80. Everyone's heard the song.
It's everywhere, all the time.
Copy !req
81. How have you not heard it?
What are you, an idiot?
Copy !req
82. No.
I don't know.
Copy !req
83. Oh, hello, Sue.
Copy !req
84. Hey, Joe.
Mike, where are the kids?
Copy !req
85. Lift number two.
Copy !req
86. -Hey, Mom.
-Hi.
Copy !req
87. Joe: With my new in-dash
compact disc player,
Copy !req
88. I could take
"Baba O'Riley" anywhere.
Copy !req
89. The tradition of decorating
the Christmas tree with Nana
Copy !req
90. was familiar, yet new,
thanks to The Who.
Copy !req
91. There's just something
about a new song
Copy !req
92. that makes you want to share it
with all of the other teachers.
Copy !req
93. Yeah,
this one's a classic.
Copy !req
94. You know it's not called
"Teenage Wasteland"?
Copy !req
95. Yeah, I know.
Copy !req
96. Okay, Joe.
I'll take it from here.
Copy !req
97. Oh, sorry,
Father Andrew.
Copy !req
98. Music is great,
Starbucks is great,
Copy !req
99. and please check out
"Baba O'Riley" by The Who.
Copy !req
100. Well, thank you, Joe.
Copy !req
101. That tune must truly be
something special for you
Copy !req
102. to have stopped right
in the middle
Copy !req
103. of the announcements
like that.
Copy !req
104. It really is.
Copy !req
105. Have you heard it?
Copy !req
106. Can't say that I have.
Copy !req
107. You probably have,
you just don't realize it.
Copy !req
108. It goes...
Copy !req
109. Like I said, I have not
heard that song before.
Copy !req
110. Uh, Joe, why don't you
go back to your seat?
Copy !req
111. Okay.
Sit a spell.
Copy !req
112. Uh, the rest of
the announcements,
Copy !req
113. you can read
in the bulletin.
Copy !req
114. Maybe I just don't get it.
Copy !req
115. But it seems like
they realized
Copy !req
116. they had written
the perfect song
Copy !req
117. and then panicked, so then
they added a violin solo.
Copy !req
118. What do I know?
Copy !req
119. Either way, I hope you have
a good, happy holidays
Copy !req
120. and good rest
of your Sunday.
Copy !req
121. Oh, shoot.
Copy !req
122. Oh, shoot.
Copy !req
123. Oh, shoot.
Copy !req
124. I've got to be more careful.
Copy !req
125. Oh, shoot.
Copy !req
126. Oh, shoot.
Copy !req
127. Oh, shoot.
Copy !req
128. Oh, shoot.
Copy !req
129. Oh, shoot.
Oh, shoot.
Copy !req
130. Shoot.
Copy !req
131. I'd better go back to bed.
