18: Winger, "Seventeen" | Gremlins

In this episode we discuss Winger, who were one of the last of the 'hair' bands, and who were made fun of constantly by Beavis and Butthead. We focus primarily on their song "Seventeen," with its controversial lyric, "Daddy says she's too young, but she's old enough for me." We also learn about a derogatory term that the Winger lads had for drumming that they considered too basic. Be sure to listen for that hilarious tidbit.

Our movie this time is "Gremlins," a very fun (and occasionally gruesome) family-friendly "creature feature" from 1984. Fun fact: this movie would have been rated PG-13 if that had existed at the time. That designation would be created a short tie later in 1984, the first movie being "Red Dawn."
