Speaker 1 0:00

When a lot is made of your energy and sexuality, and always somehow in parenthesis because of the age pushing 60, it just doesn't seem. Age makes a difference with you, does it? But you know, actually, if we're being doing girl talk here these days, it doesn't with anyone, it's not just me. There are a lot of women out there that's nearly 60 years old, that it's like time has given us time. It's something like that, you know. I mean, I'm not complaining at all, I'm I'm happy about it.

Speaker 2 0:29

Where's my camera?

Speaker 1 0:30

this, but it really is. Time has given women and and men time. We're getting older and we're looking great has a lot to do with fashion and the fact that people do care about themselves now with Exercise and diet, but I read.

Speaker 3 0:56

All right, thank you for listening to the greatest nine hits. I'm Chris, and playing the first song from Tina Turner's private dancer album I might have been queen is my co-host, him. So Thank you for listening. Ladies and gentlemen, it's a special episode about Honoring the queen of rock and roll, as she's referred to, born Anna May Bullock, november 26, 1939 in Brownsville, tennessee. Sadly, she passed away earlier this year, on May 24th.

Speaker 3 1:34

Today we are going to be listening to the greatest nine hits of the album private dancer by Tina Turner, and it's a. It's a special one because what can you say? An amazing, amazing talent, an incredible, a record-setting Album. Studio the fifth studio album by Tina Turner. It's a. It's really the follow-up to her, her career with her former husband, ike Turner. Ike and Tina we all know the backstory, the, the horrors of her abuse and the strength that she summoned To get past that and Keep on rolling down the river. And so this is the fifth, your fifth, studio album that she recorded is their first solo.

Speaker 3 2:29

1984 was the year, as I mentioned earlier, she began recording in 1976 with Ike. That commenced in 1980, followed by messy divorce, blah, blah, blah. But she just said screw it, I'm Odd here, I don't care, you can take all the royalties, you can take everything. And from that she was reborn and she Just killed it. So that's what we're gonna be listening to today. We're gonna be doing some shout outs, we've got some funny clips what else can I say? It's just, it's an honor to be just to discuss this album with you today.

Speaker 3 3:13

Like I said, she was born anime Bullock, the daughter of Floyd and Richard Bullock, and his wife, zelma Priscilla. They lived in a nearby rural, unincorporated community of nut bush, tennessee, where her father worked as an overseer of sharecroppers at point extra farm on highway 180. She later recalled picking cotton with her family at an early age. Again born in 1939, think of the think of the journey of Going from that to being the Queen of Rock and Roll and having just a legacy that will live forever Incredible talent, incredible strength, incredible human being. I think Jim Carrey summed it up. I mean, like I said, jim Carrey summed it up nicely.

Speaker 2 4:14

Where would Tina Turner be right now if she rolled over and said hit me again, ike, and put some stank on it, roll it on the river. That's where she'd be, because she decided to send a message wake up, sisters. There's no Such thing as a weaker sex.

Speaker 3 4:37

Exactly so, yeah, so what can you say? She's awesome, sexy. She shows her sexy side in this album. I think that's really what grabbed people's attention and I think that that's what was the. The main Driver is that she had the strength and she could. She felt empowered to live her best life and To be alive at age 44, rebuilding her career, rebuilding her brand, and she was a trailblazer. Back back at that time, you know, youth was king. Every. Everything was you got to be young, you've got to be this, you got to be that, and she defied all of that just from her own determination, from her strength, you know. So kudos to her, kudos to capital records for Signing her, kudos to Terry Britton, the other producers, rupert Heinz, the other writers. John Carter was really. He was. I think he was the main driver Convincing capital records to sign her to a record deal. They were opposed to it initially. He convinced them it was the right thing and it definitely was. So I mean, the rest is history.

Speaker 3 6:01

There's a bunch of non hits on this album, but there's a bunch of hits to. There's what's love got to do with it, her only number one song in her career. That's on this album. There is private dancer better be good to me. We've all heard those songs a million times. There's a couple of good non hits in here. I might have been queen, I think is it is is up there for both Tim and I. But, like all of our albums, what we're gonna do today is listen to all the songs, rank the top three non hits at the end, and I will each give our top three at the very end, but along the way, you know, we're gonna have some fun with it. We've banked some funny clips. We're gonna play those while we listen to the album.

Speaker 3 6:49

Give our thoughts. My thought here's I don't know how far off I am, but I Think that on the surface this seems like a pop album and and something mainstream. When you but when you look at I mean when you, when you take in her background just before this album came out, and you you look at some of the songs that we're gonna listen to you there's a song called 1984 In the international version. There's the Beatles helps song that's in in here. There's sort of a dystopian vibe to it and it's sort of it's almost a concept album.

Speaker 3 7:33

I think that there's it's deeper than what we think it is, or at least you can listen to it from beginning to end, sort of like a concept record.

Speaker 3 7:44

I mean, it's not, you know, it's not Pink Floyd, okay, but I think it has a lot of symbolism and it's it's, it's. It gets deeper into you the human spirit and the, the spirit of a survivor. I mean, we all have our own journey. I mean, think about her being the daughter of a one of a manager of a sharecropper, but nonetheless coming from very, very humble beginnings and achieving A worldwide fame, wealth, success. She passed away as a, a citizen of Switzerland, in town, the town in Switzerland that she lived in I'll I'll mention it later on, I don't, I don't have it right up right in front of me, but nevertheless, Think about that journey of humble beginnings in Tennessee, you know, dying with immense fame, wealth, respect, dignity, all all those things. I just we can't say enough regarding that aspect of her life and we should definitely Show respect and praise for all those things. And Tim is doing a pretty good job, I should say.

Speaker 2 9:06

I'm listening to.

Speaker 3 9:08

When I think back at our first episode, I think this is episode 87.

Discussion on Tina Turner's Album

Love mark, dire straits, season one I don't know, we did an episode on them too. Uh, shout out to mark too. Yeah, a lot of people um contributed to this album. It wasn't just, uh, the people that I mentioned. I'm sure we missed a few.

Speaker 4 11:37

There's a group effort. Yeah, yeah.

Speaker 3 11:43

Terry britton, co-produced with rupert hind. Rupert hind did a lot of albums, I think you know. I mean, he produced so many different ones. Uh, aside from this one, I know that he did one for rush. I can't remember which one it was. I think it may have been hold your fire, but I think, like the, the uh, the creative Influences were vast and diverse. Yeah, yeah, that's a takeaway here.

Speaker 4 12:11

Okay, the town in switzerland was Kush not, kush not.

Speaker 3 12:19

Zurich, shout to kush, not if we're probably butchering it. We apologize.

Speaker 4 12:24

Oh no, no, the little double Double dots over the you, that's an umlaut, is that's an? It's an, it's a double umlau. Uh, capsaic umlau, is it umlau umlau? Umlatterday called laude ladder to kaila.

Speaker 3 12:43

Speaker 4 12:48

Yeah, she's. I find that interesting. She's like I'm out, mm-hmm. But uh, you know, they're probably a little more healthy and Zurich. You know, of course, well, how you can? She look going up those hills, I heard in their sheep or whatever. Yeah, it's a blue zone.

Speaker 3 13:05

I think you know where people lived at like 100 or whatever. Sadly she didn't live that long. I wish she was around. It's sad. Yeah, she kind of went. She ghosted, I think, the last few years of her life. She was just sort of like I'm out, yeah, I'm out of spotlight, and she just like Pieced out on united states. I don't blame her necessarily. I mean I like it here. I'm not leaving, you know.

Speaker 2 13:26

But oh, she was big, she was real big, but she's beyond thunderdome.

Speaker 3 13:32

Exactly, she is beyond thunderdome. Um, having said that, you know what do you say? We get into the hit. So you have any last words before we start? Start listening to y'all. I think we just roll on rolling on the river.

Speaker 2 13:44

That's where she'd be.

Speaker 2 13:52

Where would Tina Turner be right now if she'd rolled over and said hit me again, ike, and put some stank on it?

Speaker 4 13:58

Yeah, exactly, domestic abuse is messed up and you know she's shed that whole, you know part of her life and she's here a new put her foot down and we're all better off for it.

Speaker 3 14:12

Exactly she really did. I mean think about where we've come from that time to now.

Speaker 4 14:18

Yeah, exactly. You just swipe and hope you have a hundred credit cards right and throw them up in the air when something great happens. Hopefully you know it gives the promise of the stripper to get online in between sets and maybe order a couple things for the house, and then you know they can get a little ping and cancel their credit card.

Speaker 3 33:51

Okay.

Nothing, nothing is producing any food. You can't eat a coleus, folks. You can't, can't, can a coleus. All right, it's be a waste of vinegar.

Speaker 3 52:01

Maybe it needs a like an extra dose of Paul Brady. There's a bunch of face. Now, this is help. This is the international edition that there's an extra track on theirs. This is like a remake of the Beatles. Help, and you know what? We're gonna skip it. Yeah, all right, we're going straight to the last song, 1984. If you remember the big beginning, I Mentioned this to be a concept album, the 1948, george Orwell wrote the book 1984 and he also wrote another book called Animal Farm and there are some references and some of the lyrics in here. Yeah, to that. In in the year that this was written, the theme of 1984 in dystopian society was prevalent, and that still is. I think it's more now actually. I mean, oh yes, in 1984 at least they were taking a stand like they were worried about totalitarianism, but they, so the people, were like Over the top freedom, you know, waving the flag now everybody's just like now.

Speaker 4 53:07

I was just listening to podcasts eating Cheetos yeah, we're too tired.

Speaker 3 53:13

Hey, I is taking over. I don't want to piss off the machines that are gonna Slave us in slave us.

Discussion of Tina Turner's Songs

Speaker 4 53:20

So I'm just gonna submit. Even Billy Livesley has been taken over by the Yamaha DX 7 Sensor. He is imprisoned by this thing. It's sad, it's very sad. Oh, oh, key change, key change. There's a chance, folks, this is written by Bowie.

Speaker 3 53:41

Yeah, yeah. Well, bowie had a song 1984. I think this is sort of like a like a spin-off of that or a sort of a Like a recreation of his 1984 song.

Speaker 2 53:57

Oh.

Speaker 3 54:10

Yes, you wear the savage jaw, that's it. I think some nod to that. Look, winston Smith, oh yeah the protagonist from 1984.

Speaker 4 54:25

Good reference Winston.

Speaker 3 54:33

Double speak. Double speak is sort of a metaphor for the like Disinformation well you know that's a big theme in dystopian societies is isn't the, aren't the fact checkers now just the Ministry of Truth in the book? Yeah, exactly. Yeah, those are the parallels.

Speaker 4 54:55

Yeah, don't believe the fact checkers folks do your own research.

Speaker 3 55:07

Who knows, maybe, maybe her death or her passing is a is a strange metaphor for the overlords taking over, because she's sort of like a. She's a symbol for Standing up to, to the man yeah, you know her overlord, who was, just, who was.

Speaker 2 55:28

I.

Speaker 4 55:28

That's how you get out of it, exactly get on your board and smack the lip.

Speaker 3 55:33

Well, yeah, in today, in 2023, you get on your board, smack the lip. The lip is the represents. You know AI are you know our overlords? Whoop, yeah, exactly, you're in. That'll do it.

Speaker 4 55:46

I mean, I gotta gotta think this through. Yeah, I don't know. I'm going Give me your three he's show some respect. That's that's, that's not it it kind of was okay, I mean, if you yeah, if you want to make it alright.

Speaker 4 56:35

I can't stand the rain. That that's not a hit right, it isn't Alright, I'm going. I can't stand the ran rain. Number three it just needed a little more cowbell, a little more distortion, a little more resner things going on. But it was good. It was good.

Speaker 3 56:52

Okay.

Speaker 4 56:52

Yes.

Speaker 3 56:55

I'm gonna go with my number three is gonna be 1984, that last one we heard. Okay nice, because it's a deep track. It's the very last one it probably gets no plate yeah and it's.

Speaker 3 57:04

It's weird, but it's a, it's a remake of Bowie, and and it has this substance to it that is very atypical of Tina Turner and I commend her for, you know, like going and thinking outside of the box, yeah, and being open to doing something that is so unlike what she had done before. For that reason, I give it props, and that's my number three, oh hell.

Speaker 4 57:27

Yeah, yeah, fuck the fact checkers. I'm going 1984 as well for you, number two.

Speaker 3 57:40

Yeah let's go Alright. Yeah, good for you facts, what's what is?

Speaker 4 57:47

David Bern say facts are simple. Facts are straight. Facts are lazy, facts are late facts. I'll come from points of view. Facts don't do what. I want them to, david. Bern said that facts just stress the truth around. Facts are nothing in the face of men, something like that, wow. So yeah, that's my, that's my two. What's your number? Wait?

Speaker 3 58:11

Oh, I'm on my, okay, so that was your two.

Speaker 4 58:13

I'm telling you, do my two.

Speaker 3 58:15

What's your two? My two is I can't stand the rain. I thought it Again. For the same reasons. I picked 1984. It's sort of an artsy kind of a Song. It had that cool little yeah Cowbell thing, or whatever you want to call it.

Speaker 4 58:33

I don't even know it the yamaha DX.

Speaker 3 58:38

Some synthiness had a synthy thing to it, so that's my number two.

Speaker 4 58:42

All right, nice, my number one. I'm gonna say you know, tina Turner is our generation's Cleopatra and she might have been queen Mm-hmm, it's, it's a brave number one, yeah.
