| 0:00.0 | The great Sir Elton John for years and years was worried about another singer accusing him of stealing from his song. |
| 0:10.3 | And you will not believe who that singer was. |
| 0:14.1 | We always have an odd woman in the crowd, so it's kind of odd. |
| 0:16.8 | I'm excitedly odd. |
| 0:17.6 | Isn't that strike you as a little bit odd? |
| 0:19.1 | No, it doesn't strike me as a little bit odd. |
| 0:21.0 | It's the Bob and Sherry Oddcast, |
| 0:22.8 | with stuff we wouldn't, couldn't, or shouldn't do on the regular show. Now, here's the Oddcast. All right, thank you, Max. And Max and I are going to do the oddcast today. he's going to be handling all of the music that we're going to present to you with a very unusual sort of theme. |
| 0:41.3 | The theme is, did the artist steal from another artist? |

| 1:26.7 | discuss it. And then we're going to go back mashup to this, I believe, and then we'll discuss it. |
| 1:34.9 | And then we're going to go back in rock and roll history and look at a few other songs that really wore lips. |
| 1:39.8 | The guy that did this is Rick Beto, and he took the songs and made them the same key. |
| 1:42.9 | And then he put this together. |
| 2:01.6 | Let's take a listen. Heart could still for less, heart of 23. |
