Episode #145: October 27, 1979
2024/02/11
Another one so soon? Roger's really pressing to get even close to caught up, so here he is again to talk about the hits of the month Bo Derek became a thing. There's punk destruction, sappy closing credits music, mixed feelings about the wireless, counterintuitive action, a band's other dirty-minded hit, and a twangy boat trip.

Episode 144: October 16, 1996
2024/01/27
This time Roger looks back at the CanUKUS hits from the month when the movies helped make Jack Skellington and Rudy Ruettiger household names. The charts featured some bedroom boasting, reefer-fueled madness, anti-consumerist Swedish rap, an icon's first major pop hit, possibly the best disco hit of the 90s, and that song that those guys on that show did that thing to.

Episode #143: September 29, 1984
2024/01/20
Finally, Roger returns with an episode about the hits of the month when Madonna truly began her legend. There's two songs sort of about coke, a victim of the prejudices of the time, superstar indulgent pretentiousness, British wedding music, and political wrestling. https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PLDWLXjsOJPQlNQW_EpDr7O9JXah8_lZrM&si=Eji6cKXrFq_G7A65 and https://www.patreon.com/oldmanyellsatmusic/about and https://linktr.ee/oldmanyellsatmusic are the links.

Episode #142: September 9, 1972
2023/11/22
Roger is way behind on the chart shows, and the latest attempt to catch up begins 51 years ago. There's a tale of a post-apocalyptic Big Apple, a legend's shockingly successful genitalia joke, an ode to a biker chick, primitive electronic music, the prog beginnings of a metal legend, and one of the biggest downers to ever hit #1. Get out of the road, clear the smoke from your eyes, and take the knife out of your back to enjoy this episode.

Episode #141: The 4th Annual OMYAM Halloween Special, with special guest Jeff Stroop.
2023/10/29
For his latest celebration of Spooky Season, Roger changes things up. First, he invites his comedian brother on to discuss this year's subject. And second, that subject is not a TV show but rather a theatrically released movie: 1986's Trick or Treat, the story of a teenage boy who brings his favorite heavy metal singer back to life by playing a record backwards. We discuss the cast, the acting, the effects, the plot holes, and of course the soundtrack. And many Simpsons and wrestling references are made. So have a listen. And then play it backwards...if you're not a wuss.

Episode #140: August 28, 1999
2023/10/28
This time Roger looks at the hits from a time when America's final answer for entertainment was watching a kid who saw dead people. There was room boomin', love seekin', bottom droppin', view sharin', war profiteerin', and farewell smoochin'. You will have my love if you listen to this one.

Episode #139: August 13, 1988
2023/10/08
This time Roger looks back 35 years to a month when the Brat Pack went west and Public Enemy went to prison...for a few hours. The hits of the day included second-generation reggae, a fine Springsteen knockoff, a revived Motown chestnut, a solo Go-Go (not that one), and a guy who could, and perhaps should, have been a superstar. Oh, and Roger tries to explain Michael Jackson's psyche. Start a good tradition by listening to this episode.

Episode #138: July 26. 1975
2023/09/23
This time Roger goes back to a time when he was about a month away from starting kindergarten. While a shark gobbled up moviegoers' dollars, radios were playing songs about a nobody dreaming of a glittery future, the danger of firearms (by a band from the American South, no less), blabbermouth vegetation, a horse that definitely did have a name, sexy furniture, tropical vacation fantasies, and a mispronounced word made famous by TV. So join the Old Man as he sorts all of it out and gives his semi-informed opinions on the hits from the middle of the summer of '75. It will not be a wasted hour.

Episode #137: July 6, 1996
2023/09/14
Roger's two months behind, but the comeback begins with a look at the hits of the summer Will Smith punched an alien and some Scots clones a sheep. There was bilingual rap, a thwarted tryst, a teenage torch singer, a tune to drop from the ceiling by, and some Eastern dabbling from the child of a child star. This episode loves you all.

Episode #136: The Old Man's 90s Uneasy Rider Tournament - Round 1, Bracket 3
2023/08/13
The tournament to crown the most Uneasy Riderish US Top 40 hit continues with a bracket containing songs about school kids, songs by school kids, good days, wishes, girls, losers, sunshine, units of time, being famous, self-identification, breakfast, trailers and more. You'll enjoy this one even if you don't wear Abercrombie and Fitch.

Episode #135: June 22, 1980
2023/07/31
This time Roger goes back to the beginning of the 2nd Star Wars summer to check out the charts. He finds some metal about a plane that almost crashed, fake siblings kicking it old school, a punk who can't get service, music for a cosmic beach party, a one-hit wonder with a pedigree, an intentionally "stupid" movie theme, and a guy who went from yacht rock to riding with wrestlers. Warning: listening to this episode may cause some kind of ecstasy to get a hold on you.

Episode #134: June 4, 1977
2023/07/24
This time Roger travels back to those simpler days when 25 years on the British throne was seen as an impressive accomplishment and we were in the final days of people finding words like "lightsaber" and "Wookiee" kind of odd. On the charts, you had some Caribbean calypso via South America and the Netherlands, a yacht rocker initiating the "relationship talk," a lady questioning her soon-to-be-ex-roomie's questionable baked goods habits, a gentleman having dream sex with his future, disco dancing danger, a song inspired by nudity that inspired puppetry, and a dude who won't touch a potential one-night-stand because he knows where she's been. And more. So grab your things and let this episode take you home.
