This week we dive deep into the glorious train wreck of Eddie Murphy's 1985 hit single "Party All the Time". Join us as we explore the bizarre backstory of how comedy legend Murphy was lured into the recording studio by funk master Rick James at the height of his acting career, chasing dreams of pop stardom.
We compare the sad tale of a man forever chasing an untameable party girl in "Party All the Time" to other songs of lovelorn woe like Bell Biv DeVoe's "Poison" and Dr. Hook's "When You're in Love with a Beautiful Woman". They also riff on the long, dubious history of actors embarking on ill-advised pop careers, from Don Johnson to Patrick Swayze.
Andrew and Rob roast "Party All the Time" as one of the worst ever, while Brennan mounts a spirited defense of its unappreciated charms.
So is "Party All the Time" a misunderstood gem or an ego-fueled catastrophe? Tune in and decide.
