Summary

In a rare and dangerous maneuver, Evan and Andrew decide to punch up a chart-topper so recent that they could topple from its vertiginous heights. Unfortunately after listening to 'Deja Vu' dozens of times, they still cannot parse the references to a little known indie rock band named Billy Joel. To rescue the punch, they called in expert witnesses Tim and Tom from The Complete Guide to Everything podcast. Thankfully, they know about everything. Resulting in probably the best punch up of 2022. So far.

Check out Tim and Tom's Headgum podcast, The Complete Guide to Everything.

A while back we said that the Rolling Stones named themselves after a bob Dylan song they didn't it was a muddy water song.

So I don't know if it technically counts as a flat seven.

1:42.0

Thanks Daniel great observation.

1:44.0

I'm sure I did mean flat seven and I know students of music theory will often think of this very common rock chord progression as mixolydian mode
