- (FBE) Today, we're gonna see how well you know
some modern music. - Okay.
All right, I love these.
- I suck at this every time. I'm old-school.
- I'm gonna give it my best, but I know that
I don't know a lot of new songs.
- I'm gonna fail miserably.
I think I could recognize something like a Taylor Swift
or a Katy Perry, probably, but other than that,
maybe not so much.
- I have a tendency to drift back in the ye olde days
of alternative rock n' roll grunge, but we'll see.
I may know some things.
I have kids. They keep me current-ish.

- I could see this on in the car and me not cringing.
- I don't hate it, but I wouldn't listen to it on purpose.
I think it's too poppy for me.
- (FBE) So do you know it? - I have absolutely no idea.
- I've heard it. I don't know it.
- I'm not sure of the song title, but I know it's Bruno Mars.
- I think it's called "I Like It."
(giggling) And... and I think it's probably,
I don't know, Bruno Mars?
- Ehhhh, "That's What I Like," Bruno Mars?
- Bruno Mars, "That's What I Like."
- "That's What I Like" by Bruno Mars.
- (FBE) This is "That's What I Like" by Bruno Mars.
- This is Bruno Mars?
I've got a little bit of Bruno Mars on my iPod.
I'm not ancient!
- I like him.
It's like old-school music. Like, he's bringing it back.
- He's just totally got that whole jam that's everywhere
from The Jacksons through Prince on up.
But he's totally original too.
And he is AMAZING.

- Awww, I don't know the song, but I like it.
- (FBE) Do you know this one? - Not even a little bit.
- No.
- Totally know it. And the artist is...
some dude with a sappy, beautiful song.
- James Arthur, "Say You Won't Let Go"?
- (FBE) This is "Say You Won't Let Go" by James Arthur.
- Hmmm, haven't heard of him.
- I haven't heard of James Arthur.
- It's a lovely song. He's got that Ed Sheeran vibe.
- (FBE) When the song was first released,
there were rumors that The Script were planning
on suing Arthur, stating that the song's chord progression
was very similar to their song "The Man Who Can't Be Moved."
- Oh, not cool!
Well, I better check out The Script song,
'cause I really like the one you just played me.
- Awww, that's messed up.
Sometimes some of the songs do copycat each other.
- The part of me that loves James Arthur
says I don't care!
But the other part, as an artist,
if he did listen to it and didn't give credit,
that's just not cool.

- (FBE) All right, do you know this one?
- No.
-No.
- I do not know this one.
- "Bounce" by Missy Elliott.
- I know it's Iggy Azalea. I know her voice.
- (FBE) This was "Mo Bounce" by Iggy Azalea.
- No way! Come on, Iggy?
God, I wish I could give her more props,
but she can come up with something better than that.
- If I heard it in the club, I would bounce to it, for sure.
I don't know if I'd stick to it and listen to it all day,
but it's got a good beat.
- If it was something that my daughter
had queued up, I'd tell her to turn it off.
Skip the track. No.

kind of that funky modern beat.
- I didn't hate it.
I probably wouldn't even change the channel.
- (FBE) Do you know this one? - No, I don't know this one.
- I have not heard this song before.
- I've heard the song. I don't know the artist!
- (FBE) This was "Attention" by Charlie Puth.
- Oh, where is he from? I've never heard of him.
- I've never heard Charlie Puth. It's a nice song, though.
- My kids LOVE Charlie Puth, my daughter especially.
He's very dreamy, I guess.
She'll watch that and be like, "Oh my god. Please stop."

- Damn, this girl sounds familiar.
- I like it a lot.
It's got that little vibe of got a little "EDM-y" in it,
but it's got a good dancy feel.
- (FBE) Do you know this one? - I don't.
- It's another song that I have not heard before.
- I know the song. Is it Alessia Cara?
- It kind of sounds like Sia,
but I don't know the name of the song.
- It's Halsey.
I don't know the title exactly.
Maybe it's "Love Me Now" or something.
Maybe it's "Now or Never."
That would be a good name for that song.
- (FBE) This was "Now or Never" by Halsey.
- See, I swear, I suck at this.
I like it, though.
- The beat is tight, you know?
You could rock out to that right there.
Alessia, Halsey, and there's one other gal
that sounds kind of alike.
- (FBE) The music video for "Now or Never"
was Halsey's directorial debut and depicts forbidden lovers
in a storyline that hold similarities to Romeo and Juliet.
- Oh, I like that! That sounds good.
I might have to find me some Halsey.
- That's why I like Halsey.
She's like-- a nod to classic literature.
I mean, could we ask for any more?
That's amazing.
- I think it's cool.
If you direct your own music video, that means more money for you.
So you ain't got to pay a director to do it.

but I don't know his fricking name, man.
- (FBE) Do you know it? - I don't know this one.
- Heard it. Don't know the artist.
- It's on my playlist, and I couldn't tell you who sings it.
- I'm pretty sure it's "Don't Put the Blame on Me."
Charlie Bone something? I don't know!
- That's Rag 'n' Bone Man, and that's "Human."
- (FBE) This was "Human" by Rag 'n' Bone Man.
- Okay, I haven't heard of Rag 'n' Bone Man,
but I like the sound.
- Rag 'n' Bone Man.
I remembered there was a "Bone" in there!
- He has a cool, tough voice, you know,
and he sings from the heart.
There's a lot of soul.
- It's like that bluesy, kinda gravelly, kinda sexy--
well, I'll take it every time.
My kids dig it too.
We could actually listen to something together,
and nobody starts screaming.
That's a bonus.

- I totally know that song.
Is it Ariana Grande?
- That is Selena Gomez and I think it's "Think About You."
- Selena Gomez, and "I'm Trying." (laughing)
- (FBE) This was "Bad Liar" by Selena Gomez.
- "Bad Liar"?
Selena Gomez is doing her thing nowadays too.
She was acting. Now she's all into the music.
- That doesn't sound anything like her other music.
- She sounds good.
Yeah, I think her voice is changing.
- (FBE) So how do you feel you did today?
- I wish I knew better.
It's like taking a test, and I need to study or something.
I want to do better.
- I think I'm finally accepting that I'm getting old.
- I used to always make fun of my dad
for only being into the music of his day,
and I was like, "I'm never going to be that way when I'm older.
I'm always gonna like new music."
Wow! That is not the case.
I feel like I need an education in modern music.
