47:54.015 --> 47:56.256 You know, probably crack. 47:56.736 --> 48:00.119 But you would dial 1-6-0, and you'd listen to the song, and it would be like, 48:00.399 --> 48:01.620 orchestral maneuvers in the dark! 48:01.660 --> 48:02.561 This is amazing! 48:02.581 --> 48:04.703 I want to hear souvenir by OMD again!" 48:05.303 --> 48:11.989 So you would listen to that, and tears for fears, I remember listening to Mad World over and over again, thinking, this is brilliant! 48:12.329 --> 48:16.853 Obviously I can't buy the single, that would be too scary, I'd have to go to WH Smiths and pay 99p for it. 48:17.213 --> 48:23.839 So instead I'll just listen to it over and over on Dyladisk, till my dad found out, it was about 50p a call. 48:24.219 --> 48:24.619 Gee whiz. 48:24.719 --> 48:25.760 It was something like that. 48:26.181 --> 48:27.262 It was really steep. 48:28.002 --> 48:35.407 And I don't know if there was a scandal about it or not, but basically loads of children like myself who were just having a laugh. 48:35.447 --> 48:40.170 I mean, there was the novelty factor as well, you know, of hearing music down the phone. 48:40.650 --> 48:42.391 It seemed incredibly futuristic. 48:42.411 --> 48:43.472 You could have it when you wanted it. 48:43.552 --> 48:44.773 Yeah. 48:44.993 --> 48:45.894 It seemed outrageous. 48:46.414 --> 48:53.078 So it was a brilliant way, a brilliant way of getting kids to pay money for music in those days. 48:53.138 --> 48:55.420 And now, of course, with the music industry and turmoil, 48:56.000 --> 48:57.381 That's what that's the holy grail. 48:57.401 --> 49:13.751 That's what everyone's trying to force the kids to do is part with their money But how that's the question when music is so freely available online and and from illegal file sharing sites How do you get the kids to part with their money in a way that is similar in brilliance to dial a disk? 49:13.851 --> 49:14.392 You know what I mean? 49:14.452 --> 49:23.217 Yeah, so that's what we want you to text in about listeners We want your ideas about how the music industry can earn a few quid from the kids 49:23.257 --> 49:24.598 Have you got any ideas there, Garth?

58:48.882 --> 58:49.322 It is, yeah. 58:49.382 --> 58:55.226 It plays out at the end of the film and although it's kind of a classic, it's one that we just couldn't resist being the ending of our movie. 58:56.046 --> 58:59.167 It's the cure That's a new group. 58:59.207 --> 59:18.774 They're called the Rolling Stones They're gonna be big from the phrase a rolling stone gathers no moss and they refuse to gather moss and that's their thing that's their gimmick and the lead singers called Mick Jagger and They're gonna be big apparently that one's called start me up You're listening to Adam and Joe here on BBC six music Joe's away. 59:18.934 --> 59:23.796 My friend Garth Jennings is filling in hello there And we're gonna catch up on some text the nation business right now. 59:23.816 --> 59:24.556 Here's the jingle 59:26.057 --> 59:26.897 Text the nation! 59:26.937 --> 59:27.237 Text! 59:27.298 --> 59:27.578 Text! 59:27.638 --> 59:28.018 Text! 59:28.098 --> 59:28.819 Text the nation! 59:28.899 --> 59:29.859 What if I don't want to? 59:30.120 --> 59:30.840 Text the nation! 59:30.940 --> 59:31.941 But I'm using email. 59:32.121 --> 59:32.842 Is that a problem? 59:32.882 --> 59:33.422 It doesn't matter! 59:33.462 --> 59:35.804 Text! 59:36.044 --> 59:39.606 And we are asking you to text in ideas to save the music industry. 59:39.687 --> 59:43.249 Ways, gimmicks to make the kids part with their cash for music. 59:43.269 --> 59:44.030 Have you got anything there, Guy? 59:44.050 --> 59:44.910 Well, I've got a good one here. 59:44.930 --> 59:47.993 It says pop videos at the bottom of a pint glass in pubs. 59:48.633 --> 59:49.594 Ten pence extra. 59:50.034 --> 59:51.615 Great for lonely or boring people. 59:51.815 --> 59:52.576 That's a good one. 59:52.836 --> 59:55.137 Christian, very bored and lonely in London Field. 59:55.157 --> 01:00:00.860 See, I think it's a very important thing to link some of those bad habits with music. 01:00:00.900 --> 01:00:02.981 You know, we're not saying this is necessarily right. 01:00:03.021 --> 01:00:13.865 And for example, my idea for having the musical trolleys in supermarkets, in a way you could look at it as being sort of a nightmare because it's cutting people off even more from the world around them. 01:00:14.506 --> 01:00:19.408 But then if you're making money off it and it's saving the record industry, that's the most important thing. 01:00:19.868 --> 01:00:37.863 I think so here's another idea that's not necessarily to be encouraged on a moral way alco pop music Okay, as well as choosing what flavor of fizzy kid booze you're gonna do your binging on Your little weekend binge drinking session for an extra quid 01:00:38.363 --> 01:00:41.345 You can choose what song the bottle plays, right?

01:00:51.130 --> 01:00:52.331 So you could barely hear it. 01:00:52.351 --> 01:00:58.074 I mean, it would be really dreadful, but you listen to Duffy while you're having your alco pop coming out through these tinny little speakers. 01:00:58.474 --> 01:01:01.196 And again, you see, it's the novelty that excites the children. 01:01:01.996 --> 01:01:07.242 And so while they're getting blasted on the Alka Plops, they can't believe that Duffy's actually coming out of the bottle. 01:01:07.342 --> 01:01:08.383 Yeah, that would be incredible. 01:01:08.443 --> 01:01:09.324 It would be amazing. 01:01:09.825 --> 01:01:11.006 A bottle of Duffy. 01:01:11.727 --> 01:01:12.367 Exactly. 01:01:12.387 --> 01:01:14.430 Isn't that a Homer Simpson drink?
