b'What is the commonality which binds all the souls of humankind together? Is it the affection we feel for our nearest and dearest? Is it the shared dread we have for the inevitable finality of life? Or is it something else, something more tangible? Is it, perhaps, the 1982 smash hit \\u201cAfrica\\u201d by popular beat combo Toto? Or perhaps it\\u2019s just pizza, Toy Story and The Beatles? These are the philosophical questions we ponder this week as we search for songs which everyone loves, regardless of gender, age, race or creed. Herein Bill admits (in a potential medical first) to his \\u201cBon Jovi snow blindness\\u201d, Carl beats himself up with the metaphorical stick that is the aforementioned popular beat combo Toto and Tim authors a masterwork to rival Edward Gibbon, but rather than documenting the history of the Roman Empire, he instead complies the definitive spreadsheet inventory of the wedding disco playlists of the western world.\\n\\nAlso this week sees the potentially misguided debut of a semi-regular feature where Carl gives a fairly ridiculous mid-podcast poetic reading of a popular song. This week on \\u2018Pop\\u2019s Poetry Podium\\u2019 is \\u201cUnder Pressure\\u201d by David Bowie and Queen.
