The Brandon Peters ShowSummer of 2015 at 10: “Drag Me Down” by One Direction with Jessica Alsman
The Summer of 2015 at 10 Music Video Companion series will post every Friday, featuring a discussion of a music video from a song featured in the Ryan Seacrest American Top 40.
One Direction was a boy band sensation that passed me by and I was never fully familiar. A sign of my age. I am quite familiar with Harry Styles who came from there. I did recognize this song, however, “Drag Me Down”. Jessica Alsman wraps her time on The Summer of 2015 to help fill me in a bit on One Direction and such.

I’d been kicking around an idea of a Rom Com run of episodes ever since I met Greg McGoon and he became such a staple here. And I thought, why not bring this horror movie trio with Jesscia on to do some.
Originally planned as one episode, these discussions went very long, so I made each film we covered into its own episode.

Jessica Alsman returns and we have the song that finally knocks off Paul McCartney and Stevie Wonder. You all know The Human League’s “Don’t You Want Me”. It’s an interesting, energetic kind of song with nice trade offs and memorable verses with a belting chorus.
Oddly enough, while interesting in its own right, the music video doesn’t seem to fit this song well. it’s not what you’re expecting. Artistic merit was admired, but this wasn’t the song for it.

We added a rule like “ask an adult” or “ask a youth”. Wacky prizes were handed out and we had some special guests drop in to take part in the fun as well! You may recognize some former guests of the show popping in to try their hand at the game.

2022-06-141h 24The Brandon Peters ShowClosing With A Song “Don’t Talk To Strangers” by Rick Springfield with Jessica Alsman
Jessica’s second turn at bat comes with the valiant effort by Rick Springfield. His lead single to his album to follow up his mega success with “Jessie’s Girl” just could not reach #1 despite it being in its grasp. “Don’t Talk To Strangers” hung around at #2 for consecutive weeks, unable to dethrone “Ebony & Ivory”.
The video for the song is an absolute trip. Jessica Alsman and I have quite the time trying to decode, make sense of and scratch our heads at whatever the hell the video is trying to convey. It’s loads of fun!

Yes. I save this part of the Star Wars Trilogy: Special Edition discussion for its own segment. This wild addition to Return of the Jedi in 1997 was quite the choice and one I’m not sure many took to. Oddly, while Coruscant appears at the end of the film, this may be a more accurate first peek into the kind of look and vibe the Prequel Trilogy was going to carry.

In lieu of my 40th Birthday this week (January 20th), I want to do something a little special for the show this week. So, I’m trying my hand at the world of podcast/YouTube game playing.
I have long desired to play Clue: The VCR Mystery Game ever since it came out back in the 80s. Unfortunately, the adults around me who played deemed me too young to do so. When I was old enough, nobody wanted to play with me. I’ve hung onto this game now for many of these 40 years, hoping that one day...

Also, Two Princes = Two Videos. Yes, this song had 2 music videos made for it. One fairly obviously was done when doing album promotion and the other was a much more professional one made once “Little Miss Can’t Be Wrong” hit big. Don’t worry, we are covering both.
