-->'''Todd:''' Look, there are women this time, so it's okay; no homo!
**Todd also calls attention to how the guy looks like the "white boy" from the [[Music/SirMixALot "Baby Got Back"]] video. "Even straight boys got to shout!"


Added DiffLines:

** Calling their [[Music/BruceSpringsteen "Born to Run"]] cover on ''SNL'' (where the also performed "Two Tribes") "daring" and "provocative," as it's "one of the foundational texts of heterosexuality."
--->'''Todd:''' Us straight guys are often get asked, "When did you know you were straight?" And the answer for most of us guys was: hearing "Born to Run."

* Todd starting the episode on one reason why he does One Hit Wonderland: to annoy the British by picking bands that only have one hit in the US but are much more popular in the UK.

to:

* Todd starting the episode on one reason why he does One Hit Wonderland: to annoy the British by picking [[AmericansHateTingle bands that only have one hit in the US but are much more popular in the UK.]]
* The title cards for each section are all done in the style of the famous "Frankie Say Relax" T-shirt design, complete with black text against a white background. Todd describes the T-shirt as "the greatest band T-shirts in history".
-->''"You put on the [[Music/AFlockOfSeagulls Flock of Seagulls]] [[EightiesHair haircut]] and the "Frankie Say Relax" T-shirt and you become so 80s [[AwesomenessIsVolatile you can kill bystanders with it.]] It's a fashion statement that says you are the biggest thing alive."''
* Before Music/FrankieGoesToHollywood formed, lead singer Holly Johnson was a member of various bands, one of whom was Big In Japan. Todd does the running "Big In Japan" joke, but points out that [[WhosOnFirst the band itself]] (a late 70s post-punk band) was not actually [[GermansLoveDavidHasselhoff big in Japan]].
-->''"It's nice to know that the concept of being weirdly huge in Japan is [[OlderThanTheyThink that old]]."''
* Todd naturally addresses the controversy over the song's meaning and content, saying that it's so [[IntercourseWithYou explicitly about sex]] that even [[Music/MarvinGaye "Let's Get It On"]] pales in comparison. If there's anything in the song that pushes it over the top, it's the song's use of [[ArcWords the word "come"]].
-->''"I cannot believe this wasn't bleeped. Yeah, I guess it's a very common word. They could mean anything by that. They could mean 'when you wanna come to brunch with us, have some mimosas and relax'."''
** The band claimed the song was a mere pump-up anthem about motivation. Todd doesn't buy it, and neither did anyone else.
