One Hit Thunder

Originally released on March 29th, 1985, the third episode of Mr. Belvedere finds Wesley taking an interest in ballet (much to George’s chagrin.) Though the family tries to keep Wesley’s lessons a secret from George, the cat is soon let out of the bag when he finds Wesley’s slippers. Can George handle his son’s pirouettes and pliés? This week, we explore this classic episode in which the family’s patriarch is forced to grow beyond his outdated ideas of what makes a man.

In late 1982, Toni Basil took a break as one of the most accomplished choreographers and dancers on the planet to, ya know…have a #1 smash hit single. Rising above everyone from Lionel Richel to Michael Jackson to Paul McCartney to Marvin Gaye, the almost 40 year old Toni subverted all expectations of a female pop star to grab the top spot. The song and music video are now permanently affixed to our brains, and she’ll continue to be a part of one hit wonder discussions for decades to come. This week, we’re joined by drummer and friend Pj Caruso to discuss a song that took us WAY too long to feature, and we’ll decide if Toni Basil really DID blow our minds.

In the second ever episode of Mr. Belvedere (which was originally released on March 22nd, 1985), Wesley feels like an outcast when he isn’t invited to his friend Howie’s party. Mr. Belvedere comes to the rescue, suggesting that Wesley instead throw a party of his own. This week, we get into how young Wesley handles the situation, whether or not the alternative party was a good idea, and if George is in fact striking his children.

In the summer of 2000, Vertical Horizon seemed to be EXACTLY what the US wanted. The heartfelt and longing sounds of the single “Everything You Want” skyrocketed the band to #1, and the song went on to become one of the biggest songs of the year. For a band who had paid their dues and started their career with a very DIY approach, their mainstream success was maybe cut shorter than it could’ve been by the age old story of major label mismanagement. This week, we dive into the story and music of Vertical Horizon to find out if their catalog is everything we want.
