What started as another theme turned into a real life pity party when Christine and Christina recorded in person for the first time EVER. And we had a rich conversation about one of music's most self-pitying artists—Harry Nilsson. We hope you join our pity party this week and learn more about Nilsson's legend status and stick around for some truly despicable imitations.

SONGS:

Harry Nilsson: I Said Goodbye to Me (1968)

Harry Nilsson: Gotta Get Up (1971)
