Easy On Me apparently needed epic sax
Listener Leon alerted the show to a TikTok creator the transcript calls Cast and Belt.
His speciality was adding huge saxophone solos to songs which had never asked for them.
Scott and Chris already loved unnecessary brass.
Adele’s Easy On Me was the perfect test.
The original is sparse and emotional.
The new version suddenly had an enormous sax break.
Scott expected it to ruin the record.
Instead he thought it worked alarmingly well.
He joked that he might not want to hear the song without sax again.
Adele’s laugh deserved its own album
Adele’s musical return had also reminded Scott of another thing he missed:
her laugh.
He and the production team therefore spent far too much time creating an imaginary companion release.
Adele Laughs Iconic TV Themes.
The spoof album placed Adele’s unmistakable laugh over familiar television music.
*Game of Thrones* appeared.
*Succession* appeared.
Other lockdown and summer favourites were given the same treatment.
Scott presented the whole thing with the dramatic voice of a genuine album advert.
Chris had not heard the finished version beforehand and could not believe how much work had gone into it.
The joke deliberately mirrored Adele’s real comeback
The genuine album *30* was due in November.
Scott imagined Adele releasing the laugh collection a week later as though it were an official deluxe companion.
It was completely pointless.
It also sounded polished enough to briefly resemble something which might actually exist.
For a show which had spent years remixing other people’s voices into inappropriate places, Adele’s laugh was almost perfect source material.
Becky Hill returned to sing through a fake breakup
The Golden Moment went back to shortly before the pandemic.
Scott and Chris had wondered what Love Island would sound like if its emotional soundtrack happened literally in real life.
Chris and Radio 1’s Will were sent to a busy café.
A woman called Ariel had to fake-dump Chris loudly enough for surrounding customers to hear.
A few tables away sat Becky Hill.
The argument became a live music cue
Ariel told Chris her head had been turned by somebody else.
Chris reacted as though the three-day relationship had devastated him.
They argued.
Then Ariel delivered the cue:
she was better off without him.
At that exact moment Becky Hill began singing live in the café.
The idea was simple.
Reality television often turns a breakup into an emotional music montage.
Scott and Chris simply removed the editing process and put the singer physically in the room.
The surrounding customers had no idea why a relationship argument had suddenly acquired a live soundtrack.
Thrash-metal covers completed the transformation theme
Don’t Look It Up converted pop songs into heavy rock and metal.
The Kid LAROI and Justin Bieber’s Stay emerged through guitars and screaming.
Other familiar tracks became almost unrecognisable.
After sax Adele and laughing Adele, it was the third time that day the show had asked how much a song could change while still remaining identifiable.
