♪ (upbeat intro) ♪
- (FBE) So we're going back a few decades
and checking out some music from the '70s.
- Oh, damn.
That's even further back than the '80s.
I didn't do so great on that one.
- I did not do good on the last episode
and I know I'm not gonna do good on this episode.
- It's such a broad spectrum of music.
I can't know every '70s song!
- Perfect! I can do this.
- Honestly, I'm so good at this.
I feel like I'm gonna get all of these songs.
- These are the episodes that my parents judge me
on the most since that's the decade they grew up in
and were teenagers. They're like, "Psssh! That was easy."

- Heck yeah. I'll say this. It's a cover.
- (FBE) Do you know it? - Okay, I want to make a guess.
I don't know the song name but I want to guess
that it's Bob Marley.
- It's "I Shot the Sheriff," but I don't know who it's by.
- That's Bob Marley, "I Shot the Sheriff."
- "I Shot the Sheriff" by Eric Clapton?
- "I Shot the Sheriff," originally by Bob Marley,
but covered by Eric Clapton.
- (FBE) This is called "I Shot the Sheriff."
This is Eric Clapton. - "I Shot the Sheriff"?
The was such a smooth song for saying you shot somebody.
- Oh, Eric Clapton? I've never heard of him.
- I know his voice from several songs.
I know how to play "Layla" on guitar. "Cocaine" is a really good song.
- (FBE) Bob Marley did originally record this song in 1973,
but Eric Clapton's version became a number one hit in 1974
and exposed Marley to a broader rock audience.
- Oh, that's interesting.
- That's why it sounded so familiar!
- Oh my god! All right, that's kind of embarrassing,
but that's the version that I remember.
- It's so interesting.
Covers can be more popular by the band that has covered it
than by the actual band.

- (FBE) Do you know that one? - Uh, no.
- "Boogie Shoes." I don't know.
It's not Earth, Wind & Fire.
- I'm gonna guess the Bee Gees, um, "Boogie Shoes."
- (FBE) This is called "Boogie Shoes," and it's by KC and the Sunshine Band.
- Okay, I've never heard of them.
- Oh! My dad has played them. I know that.
- That does paint a very specific '70s picture
where we're in our burnt orange station wagon,
driving in Utah and avocado green seats
and every '70s stereotype you could think of ever.

- (FBE) So this is "American Pie," and it's by Don McLean.

- All right, yeah!
I'm not really, really familiar with them,
but I just listened to it looking on YouTube.
- (FBE) "Eclipse" is the last track on their album
Dark Side of the Moon and closes out with the lyrics
"There is no dark side of the moon really.
Matter of fact, it's all dark." - Wow, that's depressing.
- Damn, I thought we were going with a little positive twist.
- Every Pink Floyd song is like watching Inception
ten times in a row.
I'm just like, "What? Is anything real? Am I real?"
I don't know!
By the time a Pink Floyd song is over, I'm like, "What year is it?"
