[adrian]

let's see... the Poppy Family, "That's Where I Went Wrong"

and, mmm.. Joni Mitchell, "A Case of You"

and, for some reason, anything by Creedence Clearwater Revival... not sure why, because they're not Canadian at all....

RE: Songs that Evoke Cana

Here's something that shouldn't exist....Whenever I hear the Sex Pistols "Friggin' in the Riggin'" it reminds me of snowmobiling south of Regina.

Do ya think Johnny and Sid had ever even heard of Saskatchewan?

Edited to add a link to the lyrics. http://www.sing365.com/music/lyric....-Sex-Pistols/C6DBFD3B8618E20148256BDD000DDC8E

Oh Canada! by Calixa Lavallee and Sir Adolphe-Basile Routhier... :canada:

 

[zenfisher]

Anything by Stompin' Tom of course....How about the theme from the Tommy Hunter Show ? I don't think I ever really knew the name of it. Helpless ( Neil Young) always make me think of Canada.

I don't know why but We'll sing In the Sunshine( Gale Storm ?) always makes me think of home.

Sung by Gale Garnett and i think she did live here in Canada for a good while 8)

That's it missle... I am not sure if she lived in Canada. I think it could be possible that she lived here. I heard the song on the radio when I was travelling through Saskatchewan in 1999. I used to listen to it when I was a kid before that. Its good to know there is a Canadian attachment to it...not just a fond childhood memory.

how about steppenwolf "Born to be Wild"

Lumberjack Song by monty python

I'm a lumberjack, and I'm okay.
I sleep all night. I work all day.

Mounties : He's a lumberjack, and he's okay.
He sleeps all night and he works all day.

I cut down trees. I eat my lunch.
I go to the lavatory.
On Wednesdays I go shoppin'
And have buttered scones for tea.


Mounties: He cuts down trees. He eats his lunch.
He goes to the lavatory.
On Wednesdays he goes shopping
And has buttered scones for tea.

Chorus : I'm (He's) a lumberjack, and I'm (he's) okay.
I (He) sleep(s) all night and I (he) work(s) all day.

I cut down trees. I skip and jump.
I like to press wild flowers.
I put on women's clothing
And hang around in bars.

Mounties : He cuts down trees. He skips and jumps.
He likes to press wild flowers.
He puts on women's clothing
And hangs around in bars?!

Chorus : I'm (He's) a lumberjack, and I'm (he's) okay.
I (He) sleep(s) all night and I (he) work(s) all day.

I cut down trees. I wear high heels,
Suspendies, and a bra.
I wish I'd been a girlie,
Just like my dear Mama (or Papa in later versions)


Mounties : He cuts down trees. He wears high heels,
Suspendies, and a bra?!

Chorus : I'm (He's) a lumberjack, and I'm (he's) okay.
I (He) sleep(s) all night and I (he) work(s) all day.

Yes, I'm (He's) a lumberjack, and I'm (he's) ok-a-y.
I (He) sleep(s) all night and I (he) work(s) all day.
