A cover of Bruce Cockburn's track. This was their first song to hit the top 40s in Canada - back in 1991.

From http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Barenaked_Ladies
"Barenaked Ladies (often abbreviated BNL or occasionally BnL) is a Canadian alternative rock band currently composed of Jim Creeggan, Kevin Hearn, Steven Page, Ed Robertson, Tyler Stewart, and formerly Andy Creeggan. It formed in 1988 in Scarborough, Ontario, at the time a suburb of Toronto. It is best known for its hit singles, "One Week", "Pinch Me", "If I Had $1000000", and "Brian Wilson", and for its light-hearted, comedic performance style. The band's trademark at live shows is humorous banter between songs, and improvised raps/songs, both of which are staples at almost every concert"

Hey! This was largely filmed in my old neighbourhood in Scarborough (McCowan and Eglinton).

At 3:13, you can see the little variety store in the strip mall where I worked after school. The record store started off as an independent called Zounds in 1979, where I got my first John Hiatt LP and where Drastic Measures played a live set looking very, very pissy. And that final spastic jam at the end is in the vacant lot next to the slummy old highrise we lived in for several years (the big white thing that is in the background for most of the shots.)

Ahh. Scarberia. Now I want to go to a Bluffs party, climb down to the beach on someone's cheap rope, build a fire, and drink liberated beer. Except that it's too damn cold right now.

This upvote is for the G.T.A.!
