What song does Joe keep singing throughout the episode?
Does this mean we're on, Donnie? We are. Something horrible has happened here. It's Pomp and Joe and Donnie Football Friday. Donnie and I out at Bowser Chevrolet in Monroeville having the time of our lives as we always do out here. Unfortunately, with Anthony Weaver interviewing today, Donnie started singing Dream Weaver earlier, and now I can't stop singing it. And even Limits piped in, unannounced here, unsolicited, at the beginning of this segment. Dream Weaver. I can't stop. I can't stop now, Donnie. Neither can you, and neither can he. It's one of the catchiest songs ever written. You just looked it up. Limits, do you know who wrote and sang the song Dream Weaver? No, and I never knew the song even existed until 20 minutes ago.
And now you're singing it, which indicates how catchy it is. And you're welcome. Dream Weaver. I can't stop. I can't stop doing it, Donnie. It's Gary Wright. Talk about an obscure guy who had a big hit.
Who is Anthony Weaver and what is his connection to the Steelers?
Yeah, that had to be a one-hit wonder. It's like Nick Foles in the Super Bowl, right? Maybe Jarrett Stidham on Sunday. Maybe Jarrett Stidham. And I just learned this was from his 1975 album, cleverly titled The Dream Weaver. And it has Jim Keltner or Keitner on drums. I don't know what his name is, Donnie. And it came from, it was inspired by a book given to Gary Wright. Is he related to Nick Wright from FS1? We can ask Pony. Ask Pony that or maybe Tyler Wright, the former Penguin. I don't know. George Harrison gave Gary Wright a book called Autobiography of a Yogi. And out of that came Dreamweaver. Hit number one in Canada. Number two on the Billboard Hot 100 in the U.S. I don't know what was ahead of Dreamweaver.
Do you? 1975, you said this was? 75. Steelers on the way to their second consecutive Super Bowl. And out it comes. And there he is. Gary Wright on the cover of Dreamweaver. And I also realize, like so many songs, Donnie, I've been singing it wrong all these years. The lyrics are wrong. The lyrics are wrong. I sang, dream weaver, I believe we can make it through the night. It's dream weaver, I believe you can get me through the night. Oh. Oh, dream weaver. What's the next line, Donnie? I have no idea. Go ahead, sing it to yourself. You've done it before. Dream weaver. I don't know what the next one would be. I believe we can reach the morning light. You didn't know that, did you? No. Limits? Well, Limits didn't know the song until three minutes ago.
That's the type of song where I just kind of mumble the rest of it other than Dreamweaver. My friend Dan Motzman thought that the famous Beatles song, Sergeant Pepper, that the line was, a girl with colitis goes by. Instead of a girl with colitoscope eyes, I think it goes. Do you know these things? The calliope eyes? We all have these, Donnie, where we spend our lives, our whole lives, thinking we're singing the right lyric only to wake up one day and discover it was the wrong one. Do you have a song like that from your career?
Actually, you know what song, since we're just out of the season? Yeah. The song, Meli Kaliki Maka.
Yeah.
The Christmas song. Right.
What interesting facts are shared about the song 'Dream Weaver'?
Bing Crosby. I always thought the line was, is a wise way to... To say Merry Christmas to you? It is. It's Hawaii's way. What? It is.
Are you serious? I was with you on that one. Hawaii's way.
Unless what I saw over, like, the last month was wrong. I always thought it was a wise way. That's what I thought. And I was told it was Hawaii's way. Limits?
Are you with us on that one? Yeah, I'm completely with you on that. I knew that, like... it's a Hawaiian song and that Hawaii is in the song, but I didn't realize at that point in the song that it's Hawaii and not wise.
And then the Elton John song, the one that's on Almost Famous, the one that everybody sings with the little piano part at the beginning. Oh, Tiny Dancer. Tiny Dancer. Yeah.
Oh, my God. Hold me closer, Tony Danza.
Exactly. No, I didn't think it was that famous. But Donnie, I went and there was a recent recording I saw of that song, like the original recording. And I looked at the lyrics or I heard the lyrics really for the first time.
