@BitchBeTrollinHard My IQ is 143 and I graduated high school and college with honours, I really don't think I'm a moron! So let's talk about quantum mechanics, and particle physics? Or do you not understand that kind of stuff?
Neko Case said that she doesn't like making videos for songs, especially when she was in them. Fortunately she's a pro and took one for the team. For someone who barely moves when singing her own songs, she definitely has rhthym and good footwork. Check her out in one of her first bands Maow and the song Ms. Lefevre. She also shows some moves on the kids show Chic-A-Go-Go from Chicago where she and her friends lip-synch to a Wanda Jackson tune and then lead the El Train Line at the end.
@inDefinitionTV First of all, this is just one cover and it wasn't even on any of their albums. Secondly, just because he doesn't agree with you doesn't mean he's 14. Also, it's not a bad cover, you just don't like it. I'm sure many New Pornographers fans like it because I think it's better than the original.
@inDefinitionTV, are you serious? Yeah, they released five critically-acclaimed albums of covers. That's it. Jesus Christ you're a moron. Do you know anything about music outside of Nickelback? Tell me a single reason why the cover is "horrible." I'm giving you a legitimate chance to justify your idiotic opinion right here.
@inDefinitionTV, the band's first three albums each ranked in the top 40 on The Village Voice's Pazz & Jop year-end poll of hundreds of music reviewers. In 2007, Blender magazine ranked The New Pornographers' first album, Mass Romantic, the 24th best indie album of all time. It is the second-highest Canadian album on the list, behind Arcade Fire's Funeral (which came in sixth). Were you born retarded, or did you need lessons?
Hey has anyone noticed that the music for this song is nearly identical to Jessie's Girl by Rick Springfield in some parts? listen to them one after another an I gaurentee you will hear the similarities.
@robmatlivingstone Kinda just shows how little you know about Neko. She started playing drums for a punk band. As great as her alt-country is, (and it is) she's also got a very Rock side. She's said in interviews if she wasn't with the new pornographers, which is something of stress relief for her, she'd be with a different rock band. Plus, you just have bad taste if you don't think this band is awesome XD
Probably their best effort - Nekos voice and Newman does not have to deal with connecting the hooks in the song. More covers from these guys would be a treat.
It's on the soundtrack for this film, FUBAR, and I found it easily enough. This is a cover of a popular song in Canada during the early 80's by a band that had some success called Toronto. This is almost an exact copy of Toronto's original, note for note and line for line. Neko kicks ass with the vocal though. I remember this song from my youth, and particularly how awful I thought their female singer was. I love the track with Neko singing though.
I'm a pro chair hopper and I can relate to the abuse we athletes go through in the name of this... Sorry, needed a moment.... This sport of mortal kings and holy angels. We are the new gladiators. You will all see. ESPN you look out!!!!
I especially like the fellow in the red hat and makeup, if I was a mullet wearing redneck in a folding chair jumping competition, I would want him as my manager.
this song may be lottsa things ...but rancid piece of shit it isnt.....I remember being a tween playing this in my older bros trans am on his newfangled cassette player..... (and yes it had a screaming egale on it ...oh yeah)
Good lord snobs... of course this is not standard NP stuff. Its fun and homage to the 80's full out pop-rock. Stop trying to impress everyone with your astute understanding of the NP and their music... sometimes indulgence in a vice is nothing more. Enjoy it and stop analyzing it, its just fun, stop with the elite posturing and rock out mindlessly for three friggin minutes. Its fine and my IQ is still intact, like yours.
once again.....chair jumping may bring you glory now..... they may want to 'get high' with you but chair jumping has no sustainable future......this undergound sport will head youngsters down the wrong path! I see by all the thumbs downs of my previous comment that a lot of bitter chair jumpers are still out there.....
@clobber75 Thank you, thank you, thank you. The perils of chair jumping have long been swept under the proverbial carpet for far too long, costing thousands of heretofore productive youngsters their very innocence. This is no laughing matter. It is yet another example of the mustardious stains left fetid and festering by the Regan administration. I truly hope that your bravery, nay, heroism does not fall on the deaf ears of our tender youth. Stand proud, and stand strong, clobber75.
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
I think it's irresponsible to show chair jumping in a glorified manner......kids watch these videos......theres a reason they banned the activity in '83 guys
Hey: Does anyone have a decent rip of this song? I can only find the 96k mp3 floating around on file sharing. It isn't on Itunes nor Amazon, I can't find the soundtrack in stock anywhere on planet earth.
Would pay for the CD or whatever, need it for a project I'm working on about cover songs. PLEASE. Anyone?
If you mean the woman in the black pleather number, then my first thought was that she was Fiona Forbes, a Vancouver access cable personality; however, despite the uncanny similarity they are not one and the same.
aaahaha! has anyone else noticed fuckin terry & dean from fubar in there! fuckin eh! they're the ones jumping over the chairs! btw great cover of a great song.
Aaahhhh! This song is just so amazing. Neko's phenomenal. Carl Newman kinda looks like a weird Billy Bob Thornton with that getup. Todd Fancey looks like Metallica's gay guitarist (can't remember name).
