Listen now
Description
In today’s episode, Wes and Clay discuss Santana and Rob Thomas’ 1999 smash hit, “Smooth”! It’s one of the most successful songs of all-time, it brought Santana back into the cultural consciousness, and it allowed Rob Thomas to brag about having a smoking hot Latina for a girlfriend! The guys discuss yet another video from 1999 and try to figure out who exactly is responsible for the color and exposure that’s ruining so many of them. They also break down the story behind the song and try to figure out who should actually be tagged as “featured”. Plus, they talk about the cinematic history of apartment building fans, magical incense, and what it takes to write a Latin-flavored song when you’re a white guy who looks like Rob Thomas.
