-->'''Todd:''' Let's just say they became a lot less "Deee-Gorgeous" and a lot more "[[{{Anvilicious}} Deee-Preachy]]".

* Todd's utter bafflement at the fact that Trevor Horn's post-Buggles career essentially shaped 80s and 90s pop music, including producing "Kiss From A Rose" and most bizarrely, Music/{{Tatu}}'s "All The Things She Said".

* "The {{BBC}} actually [[BannedInChina banned it]] that year for being too macabre. And people say [[BritishStuffiness the Brits have a stick up their ass]]. Pshaw!"

* Todd's utter bafflement at the fact that Trevor Horn's post-Buggles career has included producing some of the biggest hits of the 80s and 90s, including Seal's "Kiss From A Rose" and Music/{{Tatu}}'s "All The Things She Said".

* Introducing Falco as "The Austraian Superstar of the 80s..." ''[picture of Creator/ArnoldSchwarzenegger]'' "No, the other one."

* Comparing and contrasting UsefulNotes/TheSixties to now gives us this gem:
-->Franchise/{{Superman}} [[Film/BatmanVSupermanDawnOfJustice kills people now]]. Boy, that was a fun movie to watch when I was writing this episode. That felt really appropriate, not gonna lie.

* The TakeThat against "response records" (in this case, one called "Dawn of Correction").

* The Failed Follow-Up is... [[spoiler: "California Dreamin'" (or rather it was going to be before The Mamas and the Papas decided to keep it for themselves)]]

* "This week, we're going back to 1974, a year that I've read many writers describe as the worst year in pop music history. I don't think I'd agree, not when we've got [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lost_in_Love_(Air_Supply_song) 1980]], [[Music/VanillaIce 1990]] and [[Music/{{Nickelback}} 2001]] to compare it to."

* At the end of the video, Todd is unable to find out what Maxwell is doing these days because the man has apparently disappeared off the face of the planet. Todd suspects he must be hiding from the myriad of stalkers he sang about over his career, before coming to a terrible conclusion: "Or maybe...maybe they ''got'' him."

* The comparisons Todd makes between "Mickey" and "[[TaylorSwift Shake It]] [[CallBack Off]]".

* "Name one Australian Prime Minister! I don't know, [[Film/MadMax Mastedismissin]]?" And related, noting how Midnight Oil taught Todd a lot about Australian tragedies, he starts thinking if ''Film/MadMax'' is an improvement.

* Todd throws on one of Meco's few original compositions, "Topsy." After listening in TranquilFury for about ten seconds, he only says "This is the sound of Hell."
