C-Mac Defends the Yankees' Playoff Clinching Celebration

Craig Carton (0:00)

I want to dance with somebody. I want to feel the heat with somebody. I want to dance with somebody.

This is my favorite Mariah Carey song, by far. I don't think there's...

Chris McMonigle (0:18)

It's up there, it's up there.

SPEAKER_3 (0:20)

I want to feel the heat.

Chris McMonigle (0:22)

Well, there's a couple close ones. But it's up there, though.

It's a lot, Rushmore.

Craig Carton (0:26)

It's number one.

Chris McMonigle (0:27)

Yeah. You ever see her at a Radio City for the Christmas special, or not your thing yet?

Craig Carton (0:31)

I mean, I've watched it on TV.

Chris McMonigle (0:33)

Oh, that's a fair point, yeah.

Craig Carton (0:34)

And that is the greatest Christmas song of all time.

Chris McMonigle (0:37)

She claims to have written it.

Craig Carton (0:39)

Okay.

Chris McMonigle (0:40)

How about that? Like, mostly...

Craig Carton (0:43)

Doesn't she write some of her songs, or none of them?

Chris McMonigle (0:44)

Not a lot, I don't think.

Craig Carton (0:45)

Didn't we have this discussion that she's in the Songwriters Hall of Fame, but not the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame?

Chris McMonigle (0:49)

Yeah, she's in the Songwriters Hall of Fame, but she's not in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame.

Craig Carton (0:52)

Well, she has to have written some of them, then.

Chris McMonigle (0:54)

I guess it's a fair point. I don't get how she's not in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. She's one of the three greatest female singers of all time.

Craig Carton (1:04)

No, no doubt.

Chris McMonigle (1:04)

Right? It's her, Whitney Houston, and then we could argue the third person is. It's Celine Dion maybe for some people, Adele for some people, Aretha for some people, maybe Patti LaBelle, maybe, if you're old enough, Liza Minnelli, I don't know.

There's, uh, Etta James, right?

Craig Carton (1:21)

Etta James.

Chris McMonigle (1:23)

But how is she not in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame?

Craig Carton (1:25)

Mariah Carey should be in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. She has too many number one hits.

Chris McMonigle (1:29)

Yeah, I think more than the Beatles, if I'm not mistaken, right?

Craig Carton (1:31)

I think she broke the Beatles record, yeah.

Chris McMonigle (1:32)

Yeah.

Craig Carton (1:33)

I mean, she's not the Beatles, but she's...

Chris McMonigle (1:34)

Maybe she, like, had sex with the head of the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame and like dumped his ass.

Craig Carton (1:38)

Maybe.

Chris McMonigle (1:39)

Something. She's not the only obvious, like, yeah, like Rock and Roll Hall of Fame.

SPEAKER_3 (1:47)

Oh, my sponges.

Chris McMonigle (1:49)

That's not even close to what I said.

Craig Carton (1:53)

Spell check.

Chris McMonigle (1:54)

Let's see. Not inducted yet. I don't know.

Craig Carton (1:58)

Most...

Chris McMonigle (1:58)

Mariah Carey.

Craig Carton (2:00)

Most famous artist not inducted.

Chris McMonigle (2:01)

Mariah Carey's not in there. She's been nominated multiple times.

The Inks and the Black Crows, not in there. Inks were huge in the 80s, as you know.

Craig Carton (2:12)

I don't know.

Chris McMonigle (2:13)

Smashing Pumpkin's not in there.

Craig Carton (2:14)

They should be in there.

Chris McMonigle (2:15)

Motorhead not in there.

Craig Carton (2:17)

Motorhead isn't in there?

Chris McMonigle (2:18)

Nope.

Craig Carton (2:19)

Nope. What?

Chris McMonigle (2:20)

Yeah. Not in there.

Craig Carton (2:22)

I'm not the biggest motorhead guy, but it's Motorhead.

Chris McMonigle (2:25)

Yeah. New Edition's not in there.

So, there you go. Those are the obvious snubs as they caught right here.

Craig Carton (2:33)

Wow.

Chris McMonigle (2:34)

Yeah. I think Barry Manilow's in there though.

Craig Carton (2:38)

Of course.

Chris McMonigle (2:39)

He wrote the songs.

Craig Carton (2:40)

I love Barry Manilow.

Chris McMonigle (2:41)

Do you know what kind of songs he wrote?

Craig Carton (2:44)

The songs he sang?

Chris McMonigle (2:46)

No. He wrote the songs that make the young girls cry.

Craig Carton (2:51)

Oh, is that from something? Is that from a rap or something?

Chris McMonigle (2:53)

I write the songs that make the young girls cry.

Craig Carton (2:58)

What song is that from?

Chris McMonigle (2:59)

The Barry Manilow number one hit of all time. Called I Write the Songs.

Craig Carton (3:07)

Is that what it says? Is that the lyric?

Chris McMonigle (3:09)

Yes. I write the songs that make the young girls cry.

Why does that not sound right to me? Yeah. It's his biggest hit of all time.

Craig Carton (3:18)

No, it's not.

Chris McMonigle (3:19)

It's twice as big as Mandy ever was.
