00:00One more story from the Riff Files this morning.

00:13Pete Burns passed away.

00:17He was 57.

00:18He was, of course, the lead singer of Dead or Alive.

00:20This was their one and only hit, wasn't it?

00:23Yes, I'm assuming.

00:24You spin me around?

00:25Oh, if you look, they had some other hits.

00:31Brand New Lover was a hit.

00:34I've never heard of it.

00:36Oh, no, that's a good one.

00:38Of course, you were in that phase, though.

00:40You like a lot of this kind of music.

00:42Yeah.

00:44Gay pirate music.

00:45They played this a lot when you went out dancing.

00:49This guy looks like a gay pirate.

00:51Yeah.

00:52But young.

00:54Yeah.

00:55I have to just hear this Brand New Lover to see if I've even heard it.

00:57Oh, you totally know it.

00:58You know it.

01:07I don't.

01:10I don't know this one either.

01:11Yes, you do.

01:12What I really need to do is find myself a Brand New Lover.

01:16Someone who will lie to me.

01:17Who doesn't know there's so many others.

01:20What I really need to do is find myself a Brand New Lover.

01:24I don't think so.

01:26Oh, my God.

01:27It's huge.

01:30Love that song.

01:32Yeah, I don't hate that kind of music.

01:34Chuck loves it.

01:36I know.

01:36I still do.

01:36I wish I could see clips of young Chuck.

01:39You need, like, Chuck's gay dance club, I think.

01:41He loves all the music.

01:43The clips of me listening to that music that you'd see is a chubby Chuck the Freak in his underwear.

01:51Oh, God.

01:53Oh, God.

01:54Sitting in a wicker chair.

01:56I had one of those big wicker chairs.

01:58And I had my little tape recorder.

02:02And I would be taping songs that I liked.

02:06And just being like...

02:07That was me, man.

02:19I was taping the Casey Kasem Top 40.

02:23All the good songs.

02:25You were in your underwear in a wicker chair.

02:28That was me.

02:28That, like, every weekend.

02:30I love these guys, too.

02:35In a western town, the dead end world.

02:39We're eastern boys and western girls.

02:43I would have taped this for sure.

02:44Would have been taping this song without question.

02:48West and girl.

02:52West and girl.

02:55A wicker chair.

02:57I had it.

02:58My mom had this old school gigantic wicker chair.

03:02Why did you have no pants on?

03:03I never had pants on.

03:05For comfort.

03:05Yeah, I just never had pants on.

03:07White, tighty-whities.

03:09White, tighty-whities just like my dad wore.

03:11Because when you're young like that, you just get the same underwear that your dad's in charge of buying your underwear.

03:16So I had white, tighty-whities.

03:18No shirt.

03:19Oh, Lord.

03:19Fat.

03:21No body hair.

03:22And just singing Pet Shop Boys.

03:24And just loving the world.

03:26Like, it's no shock to me that I do radio.

03:29Because I was just obsessed with it.

03:31When I was a kid.

03:33You know?

03:34And would just sit and listen and just tape it.

03:37All the time.

03:38And just loved all this music.

03:40And I was exactly the same.

03:40But I was like the news.

03:41I would do the news.

03:42It's crazy.

03:43There's tape.

03:43My grandmother had the tape of me recording myself on her tape player.

03:46Doing like, good Lord, I get to stay up with the news.

03:49Yeah, see, I was cool.

03:49I was actually cool.

03:50Oh, Chevy Wicker Chair, guys.

03:53He's got a lazy.

03:55I challenge that.

03:56Oh, man.

03:57I can't wait until the biopic comes out.

03:59And they recreate your guys' early times.

04:03From humble beginnings.

04:04Good morning, I'm Dave.

04:05Time for the news.

04:07And then there was Chuck the Freak.

04:09And he's in the Wicker Chair.

04:10He wasn't in the...

04:11No, yeah.

04:13No, I got saved.

04:14I got saved by a punk rocker.

04:15What were your other big young gay hits?

04:18All this.

04:19Don't You Want Me?

04:23This was my favorite song.

04:24Was it really?

04:25The Human Lake's Don't You Want Me?

04:26Yeah.

04:26This was my favorite song for that time.

04:29You know, like, when I was taping, I was like, when this was out, I was like, oh, this

04:32is the number one song to tape.

04:34If I can tape this.

04:36But, you know, Duran Duran.

04:38Duran Duran, so like, The Reflex.

04:42Hungry Like the Wolf.

04:43Oh, hold on.

04:44I'm just envisioning a TV show of, like, Chubby Chuck's Gay Dance Party, where he's in his

04:49Wicker Chair in his underpants.

04:51Uh-huh.

04:51And then there's, like, every week it takes you to him, and there's people dancing around.

04:54He's like the DJ.

04:55And he's the DJ.

04:56Yes.

04:56I love it.

04:57I'll do it.

04:58I need Chuck to make me a mixtape.

05:00Oh, dude.

05:00I could make a sweet mixtape.

05:02What was the other...

05:03Oh, you love Tears for Fears, too.

05:04I can't stand Tears for Fears.

05:05Tears for Fears had my favorite song as well.

05:12But, yeah.

05:13Head over heels.

05:15It is weird how music can literally...

05:16I can sing every word to that song.

05:17You might not remember anything about your past, but a song can snap you back to it.

05:21Oh, totally.

05:21And it did.

05:21It did.

05:22It took him right back to his Wicker Chair.

05:23It took me back to...

05:26It took me back to...

05:27It took me back to...

05:29You hit your distance with a system of touch.

05:35And gentle persuasion.

05:39I'm lost in admiration.

05:41Could I need you this much?

05:44Oh, you're wasting my time.

05:46You're just, just, just wasting time.

05:50Something happens and I'm head over heels.

05:53I never find out until I'm head over heels.

05:59How do you not love this?

06:01You're just joining us.

06:02You're listening in to Young Chubby Chuck's Dance Party.

06:05This was like Chuck the Freak realizing he liked girls, but knew no girl would ever talk to him ever.

06:10You're listening in to Young Chubby Chuck's Dance Party.
