      Heist was great. The song that Cory briefly alludes to is "Simon F15" by the Fearless Flyers. The song at the VERY end is the same motif "FE D, FE FF ED (D up and octave) FE D, FE CC BBb" with Kenni taking a solo.
      So either you really like Heist or you should check out Simon F15

    First of all we need to know what a tritone is: it's the sharp fourth or flat fifth degree in a scale.
    Now, a secondary dominant is the dominant of the scale's dominant. In C Major, for example, the dominant is G and it's dominant is D. So D is the secondary dominant here.
    On a simple ii-V-I chord progression, in C Major, we would have
    Dmin-G-Cmaj
    using the Tritone Substitution For Secondary Dominants we would substitute the D for it's tritone, which would be Ab (it's flat fifth), leaving us with the progression
    Ab-G-Cmaj
    And the reason we would do that is for that extra spiciness.
