Kruposays...Until reading the Wiki entry I have to admit I didn't realize how badly Future Shop ripped off this song. Wow.
"Change it just enough to not count as the same thing". Damn.
For you non-Canadians, FS is like, and now also owned by, Best Buy. Or any big electronics super-store chain.
10385says...Ooo I remember this video from years ago; loved it then, and it's nice to see now. Funky aesthetic, and nothing beats the multiplied, freeze-frame, cutout jump kick. Sloan's Canadian? I'm ashamed to say I didn't know that.
I remember first hearing this song with 2 friends in high school. We loved it, but when it came to the chorus we looked at each other and laughed: "and the joke is when he awoke his body was covered in goat jizz." I know that's juvenile, but we ALL (mis)heard the same thing.
Also, those ad agencies/clients that get composers to write bad knockoffs of popular songs make me angry. The composer is either soulless, or tries to pitch the client original tunes with a similar feel and subsequently gets shot down in favour of "just do that song from that band but don't get us sued."
Kruposays...Glad to see Sifters stumbling across the Sloan.
Glad we cleared up the coke fizz thing.
Let's assemble a raiding party to tar and feather said soulless types.
