- (FBE) We're going to see how well you know music from the '70s.
- I don't.
We can stop right now. (laughing)
I don't know that many artists from the '70s.
- I'm really bad at the '80s, so I can only imagine
how horrible I'll be at the '70s.
- When I think '70s, I can't think of a specific artist,
but I feel like I probably know some of them
because I like oldies.
- I'm hyped. Okay, cool.
From the '50s, '60s, '70s, I feel like I listen
to a decent amount of music.

of a guy trying to look cool and impress,
but is just a total failure.
- (FBE) Do you know it? - Um, "Let's Get It On"?
I'm not sure by who.
- "Get It On," and I have no idea who the artist is.
- It's Marvin Gaye, "Let's Get It On."
- "Let's Get It On" by Marvin Gaye.
- (FBE) So this is "Let's Get It On" by Marvin Gaye.
- Marvin Gaye?
I would've never gotten that.
- I love this song.
I just feel like it's so groovy.
You just move to the music and his voice is so good.
He's so talented.

- "Rocket Man," Elton John?
- Elton John, "Rocket Man."

I'm 2-2!
- (FBE) This is "Rocket Man" by Elton John.
- I got it.
- I can hear my best friend right now, saying,
"How do you not know Elton John?"
- He's a very well-known artist and I think he's done
a lot of really awesome things, both for the LGBTQ community
and the music community, so he has a dual purpose on the planet.

but I don't know the artist.
- "Hot Stuff"? I don't know who it's by.
- "Hot Stuff"? Aretha Franklin?
- It's "Hot Stuff"? Pat Benatar?

"Hot Stuff" before.

I always miss Donna Summer.

I've never followed Donna Summer at all.

- I've for sure heard it.
I want to say, 100%, I have it on my playlist.
I just can't remember it.
- Pink Floyd, "Comfortably Numb."
- (FBE) This is "Comfortably Numb" by Pink Floyd.
- Oh, I'm not a super big Pink Floyd fan.
It's just some of the songs are 25 minutes long
and I just don't have the patience for that.
- I've never really listened to too much Pink Floyd,
so this is new to me, and, yeah, this is pretty sweet.
I might have to actually get into them now.
- I love Pink Floyd.
"Dark Side of the Moon," that was my whole jam.
That whole era.
I guess I do like the '70s.
- (FBE) So a lot of people think this song is about drugs,
but Roger Waters says it is actually about
how he would feel when he was a kid with a high fever.
He said that, as an adult, he has those feelings again sometimes
and feels a detachment from reality.
- I swore it was about drugs, too.
- All right, that's cool.
I mean, it's his song.
Whatever he wants it to be about.
- You know what? That's a really good cover up.
(feigned cough) I was just sick, dude.
I swear!
- That's amazing about music and lyrics.
People take it on their own perspective
and how they're feeling, even though it was written
for another purpose.

- It's called "Jungle Boogie," but I don't know the artist.
- "Jungle Boogie."
I don't know who it's by.
- (FBE) This is "Jungle Boogie" by Kool and the Gang.
- "Kool and the Gang"?
Oh, I've never heard of them.
But I've heard the song.

Okay, that's awesome. It's a cool song.

Okay, definitely a cool song. And the gang sounds hot.

- (FBE) So do you know it? - No.
- No.
- No, absolutely not.
- I know the song, but I don't know who sings it.
- This is "Gypsies, Tramps and Thieves" by Cher.
- (FBE) So this is "Gypsies, Tramps and Thieves" by Cher.
- All right, Cher is a name that I know,
but I can't name a single Cher song.
- That's right!
Cher was making a lot of banging music in the '70s.
- I've seen people dress up like Sonny and Cher for Halloween,
and I'd recognize them as celebrities, but I don't think I've ever listened
to their actual music.
- Cher is interesting in and of herself, so I feel like all of her music
therefore is interesting.
She's a little bit out there and a little bit weird
and takes risks with her music, so every song is kind of a hit,
even if it's not the greatest song, because everyone
is so interested in her herself.
- (FBE) So our very own Don from Elders React
actually helped produce this song. - Really?!
That is so cool!
- No way!
Man, what a stud. That's so sick.
- No way!
Don, shout-out to you. That's awesome!
What? I didn't know he was a music producer.
- I love all of the music episodes when he's like,
"You know, I was a music producer," and then he always gets them wrong,
but it's really cute.
- I always knew Don was so cool.
Every time you talked to him, you're like, "Wait, what?
Like, you did that?"
Oh, he was so cool.
You forget he was in the music industry.

It's such a fun song to sing along to, but it's so hard to sing along to,
so everyone just sounds terrible,
but it's a great time when it comes on.
- (FBE) Do you know it?
- I don't exactly know the name of the song.
I'm pretty sure it's by Queen.
- This is "Bohemian Rhapsody" by Queen.
- "Bohemian Rhapsody" by Freddie Mercury himself or Queen.
- It is "Bohemian Rhapsody" by Queen.
- This is a classic.
This is "Bohemian Rhapsody" by Queen.
- If you want something that everyone will sing along to,
it's gonna be that song.
- I will scream sing this song in my car
by myself or with others.
You're not safe.
If it comes on the radio, I'm singing it.
- Queen is one of my all-time favorite bands ever,
and "Bohemian Rhapsody" is such a weird, different--
it's completely separate from anything else
and it's so unique and amazing.
