[mcintyre11987]

its funny i live in buffalo and everybody loves the hip here because its close geographically. and everyone here goes crazy for this song but its ironic because the reference to buffalo is that somebody threw a beer bottle at his head at a show here...but Im pretty sure they still love buffalo

What does the backup singer sing in the chorus. He echos "At the hundredth meridian" a couple of times but I can't figure out what he's saying after that

[arnolddrummer]

@888greg888 (back up vocals)

At the hundredth meridian (Hundredth meridian)

At the hundredth meridian (You're gonna miss me)

At the hundredth meridian (Trust me)

Where the great plains begin (At the hundredth meridian)

At the hundredth meridian (At the hundredth meridian)

At the hundredth meridian (Baby, you're gonna miss me)

[belowroller]

Wtf vevo? I click to watch the hip, and I get some douchebag talking about a farting cat?

[cf80to01]

It's "weeds" people, NOT "weed". It is pretty easy to pick out the city folk.

[canadian7233]

Get better ads. Like ones about beer, or whiskey, or hockey. Canadian things, not fucking anime

[glassbrain]

@canadian7233 Considering that YT has an extremely intimate knowledge of what we like (storing of favourites, likes, dislikes, searches, views, etc) it's quite amusing to get ads for tampons, the latest pop sensations cd, and an anime movie.

[trollfinger]

@canadian7233

Get adblock plus if you are using firefox. You don't need to watch the shitty ads then.

[hellsouldarkspawn]

@trollfinger thank you for that info (:

[PHatxObesityxGaming]

@canadian7233 U can remove all adds by simply downloading AdBlock

[lessthanthreemetal]

@canadian7233 thing is, they are playing to Canadian audiences now. why do you think that the 2010 mascots were fucking anime characters? we are now the minority...

[MattyMattThing]

here's yer hero suck his dick for me/

[killaesien3]

love this song!!

[pichoni]

Awesome combination of guitar, drums and vocals....I am a proud Canadian and I love you guys....

[BritburgBoundBonzo]

[kokoth]

The hip rocks but vevo sucks!

[pwnedeful]

[cf80to01]

@pokerplayer004 Actually idiot, it is "weeds". Pay attention to the lyrics. The weeds are shoulder high, rusting ferris wheel in the distance.... make a mental picture of the desolation.

[TheTony196503]

gordie is the man

[pokerplayer004]

actually idiots, its weed, im canadian i would kow. also maybe take a look at his eyes while hes singing the song. hes STONED

[erugila]

I'm from Detroit area, love'n me some Hip. Proud to be Windsors, dirty cousin. Can't wait to see them here. Missed it a few yrs ago. Still Pissed. BTW I'm not sure we invaded Canada, otherwise you would be a State. JK, HIP ROCK

[Taud]

@erugila No, u did it was in early settlement times and you couldnt defeat the guerrilla snipers in the bush with hunting rifles and shotguns, remember you guys only teach triumph in school not loss thats why you arent sure.... thats all in the past tho

[musicluver2212]

@erugila im from windsor. nice to know you respect the hip brotha

[the89oliver]

if the Hip were on rock band, I would actually play that game

[CapitalgCapitals]

Great Tune...!!

[pedmicky]

Hey I remember Hengelo too, which year I'm forgotten but the show back then was GREAT!!!

[Ghosta117]

Why does Tragically Hip have low views compare to others? I don't get it. They have been around for a long while and make great music. They were awesome live. I'm so glad that I grew up in the 80s and 90s of best era of music. Today music is a joke!

[Shorgaar]

@santoslittlehelper06

you do realize, we were technically not even Canadian at that point in history, but merely an English colony, so therefor, the Canadians did not defeat the American's, the Brits did.

But thanks for comin' out.

[ilbngz]

@Shorgaar you do realize that at this time although not completely a separate political entity we were in fact referred to as Canadiens at least in Canada East(or Lower Canada) and had developed our own identity and economic differences. although we werent governing ourselves 100% we were still who we are today, good day sir.

[santoslittlehelper06]

@Shorgaar

Actually, the War of 1812 broke out during the Napoleonic wars in Europe. At that time Napoleon's armies were trouncing all over the European states, and the bulk of the British Army was tied up in Europe. Britain could not spare men or equipment to fight a completely different war in North America.

In 1812, there were only about 600 regular infantry in Upper Canada and One General Brock. The bulk of the Canadian fighting force were local militia.

[santoslittlehelper06]

@Shorgaar

So you should hold your head high when the Invasion of Canada is mentioned. You, and all of our fellow Canadians, should be proud of the fact that we prevailed against the onslaught of an American aggressor, numbering in the hundreds of thousands. Be proud that we were outnumbered ten-to-one and held the Yanks off so fiercely that nobody has ever attacked Canada since.

[StackhouseA]

@Shorgaar Canadians beat the americans, thanks of coming out, go back to the south faggot :)

[TheCanadianboy19]

If you were canadian and lived on the praires you would know it says weed you fuckin skids

[juicerule420]

@The Mclovin62 hey ass fuck apparantly you are the dumbass as YOU clearly dont know the lyrics!!! Check them online retard!! it says WEEDS standing shoulder high, FUCK YOU ARE DUMB!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!­!!!!

[svorpyx]

[TheMclovin62]

[ArynCanada]

@juicerule420

[Taud]

@juicerule420 you live in canada man, its not that far away...... trust me ; )

[jahonnay1]

@juicerule420 wheat not weed buddy

[greenbastard619]

[derekkalinowsky1]

@greenbastard619 they do smoke a fuck ton of weed

[obscureluzername]

@juicerule420 That's any road in the Prairies before harvest pretty much.

[trucker11686]

@juicerule420 Main St, Saskatchewan.

[TheQuigs07]

@juicerule420 haha we all would, but you wont find much weed growing on the prairies. lol

[BlazenCuz]

[jerodirwin66]

@juicerule420 shoulder high surprises you? lol you got some shit to see!

[AllyBScot]

Heard this song on Due South and wondered who sang it. You Tube answers all questions! Good song.

[AllyBScot]

Gear!

[TheSheldonShow]

This song really puts the puck in the net.

[Landrew0]

The US only ever lost 2 wars; 1 against Vietnam and 1 against Canada.

[chrisjaybecker]

@Landrew0 The US didn't lose the War of 1812, they just lost that ONE battle, the Battle of Queenstown Heights. A grandfather of mine died at that battle and is buried near Brock (who also died in that battle.)

[holyshitrock456]

@chrisjaybecker the war was somewhat a stalemate, and canada held there ground. also to another comment, they were canadians, of course from europe just like the americans ya douche. im also gonna mention we trashed your shitty as white house

[Jakska74]

@holyshitrock456 Indeed...It's because of us Canadians that the white house IS white. We marched down and burned that shit, which was grey at the time. After that, they only had white paint to cover the damage.

[simoroberts1]

@chrisjaybecker Uhm We definitely won more battles than just Queenstown Heights. We kicked you out of Fort Detroit we beat you in Quebec, we beat you in Michigan where we destroyed the Georgian regiment. Oh and we also beat you in Washington DC where we burned the White House. America lost way more battles and the war because they did not gain land. Since America invaded Canada we didn't have to gain land to win we just had to defend Canada.

[mountpearl12345]

gotta love the gros morne national park, Newfoundland hat!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[schnel127]

Good history song.. Gord gets talkin, he keeps going! Proudly Canadian for sure.

[MrCrosstiewalker]

Can't we just share the Meridians and coexist in peace?....After all its been 200 years since our last war!

[crrrrrrrrrUNNNNCH]

AWSOME SONNNNNGGGG!!!

[TheRobotProductions]

Its a total shame that such great music like this and all other old rockers videos have so little views compared to all the new shitty music like justin beiber and lady gaga. This music is 1000 times better!

[trevfrank]

hit f5 for no ads :)

[andrewmorris2005]

F|UCK YA LOVE THE HAT!!!! NEWFOUNDLAND

[HPfan71]

[BranMac97]

CANADIAN ROCK IS AWSOME

[AndIRanSoFarAway]

@BranMac97 Everything Canadian is Awesome!

[drinktheworm]

if i die of vanity, promise me, promise me

they'll bury me someplace i don't want to be

you'll me you'll dig me up and transport me

away from the swollen sea breeze

garbage bag trees, whispers of disease,

acts of enormity

lower me slowly ,and sadly, and properly;

get Ry Cooder to sing my eulogy

the song is about politics: america vs. canada. wake up and argue.

[PoppySandals]

MY FARM

[CHERYLINFREMONT]

[uberawesomeme12]

Why are we fighting over America and Canada? Just listen to this amazing song, jeez.

[sofndfkj]

[nashdawg1967]

a generation so much dumber than it's parents, came crashing through the window.......get ry cooder to sing my eulogy.... awesome.....

[NerdyCanadian]

i remember every single fucking thing I know. :D

[Everincon]

Best hip song ever :)

[TheDatsyukian]

The Hip (Canadian)

better than A LOT of American bands :) :)

[Kanuck2188]

@TheDatsyukian As much as I am a proud Canadian and don't really enjoy taking part in to much Americana, this whole Canada is better than America thing that we always have to bring up whenever someone talks about the two countries just makes us look like douche bags. Americans don't care what we think of them so fuck off trying. Also the hip is the most under-rated band to come out of Canada.

[drlove134ge]

Lightfoot signed a management deal with Dylans manager albert grossman, dylan was very much a fan of Lightfoots, and even covered "early morning rain" on his Self portrait LP. as for paul westerberg, playing makeup wearing guitar? run to the wind where the big bad city blows? not at all in the same league as dylan and lightfoot.

[TheFairiesofGreen]

If I die of vanity, promise me, promise me, they bury me someplace I don't want to be, you'll dig me up and transport me,

Unceremoniously, away from the swollen city-breeze, garbage-bag trees, whispers of disease and the acts of enormity and
