Harlequin - Thinking of You(audio only)

[penguin0000002]

Canadian bands were/are. Even today, we still are laying it out there when it comes to music in all genere's. 

[penguin0000002]

mikbro34, totally agree. would be interesting to see if this song was released today as a new song, what it would chart? timeless classic. Regarding Canadian music in the 80's or as a whole, bad management, marketing, cost a lot of fine musicians and bands. Harlequin, Streetheart, Toronto, Platinum Blonde, Trooper, are all great bands that didnt have a lot of success and should have. Loverboy was able to break it to an extent, but who was their mgr? If I recall Gene Simmons acknowledged how good

[babyimawantyou]

Fuck Chuck Norris Im So sick Of Them Adds

[mikbro34]

i remember the first time i herd this song on the radio CHOM f.m. out of montreal when i listen to this song now it still sounds brand new unlike all the top 40 american music . so being a musican and half canadian i truely apreciate this tune ... thanks harliquin !

[Sheldon66]

@mikbro34....totally agree with you!! I have always liked this song, but recently, I have come to really love this song!! A great tune to listen to LOUD!

[ThePresidentschoice]

Canada was clearly the best in the 80's.

[TubeFreakJonas]

I am Chuck Norris and I approve of this song.

[lelandbaby]

I met the band on the airplane the other day great bunch of guys

[davehagerty100]

80's Canadian ROCK was unmatched! We ruled the world!!!

[Rocknjoker]

This is Winnipeg pride right here!!

[senn416]

Ahh, the memories.... GREAT SONG!!!

[brokenpsp]

1 person was not thinkin' of me...

[islndgrl1]

woud love to know the lyrics

[stillings1965]

This will always, and forever make me think of my Baby. xoxo

[melaniegartshore]

Lmao who would think this is Kim MItchell. First of all Harlequin sounds nothing like Kim Mitchell, and second, Kim Mitchell owns.

[backroadernb]

Another Great Canadian Band from Winnipeg, MB!!!

[onemanwreckingcrew95]

that one person who dislikes this.... learn to live

[ladylovestotalk]

Love this song and well Im an 80s girl!!!!

[URotherGF]

I LOVE Harelquin, & YES, this song is so completely awesome!! In my mind 25 years later as a stand out!!! AND, I worked in a record shop!!

[URotherGF]

not even close to to Kim Mitchell!! <___<

[OntarioGUY11]

Very cool tune. lots of great memories

[RussAndrew1]

Ill Bet you did wear this out

[oIAmZheRayeoon]

So hard to find this song... wowa

[kevnar]

This song came on the radio today and I got it stuck in my head, except for some reason I was singing the wrong lyrics all day. I was singing, "I'll be stinking of you." lmao!

[BurnYourCash]

one guy only thinks of himself

[blazebit1]

How come everyone forgets April Wine! One of the greatest Canadian bands ever, well best band on the planet for that matter :)

[MrWestdene1972]

@blazebit1 indeed !

[jacksedit]

yes im canadian i can admit we have lots of good bands.. but seriously, the top talent comes from Britain, absolutely NO competition whatsoever, with america being a bit more better than canada in musical output

[fagthisisbullshit247]

AWESOME I LOVE THIS SONG AND ONLY 1 DISLIKE!!!!!!

[backroadernb]

Bought this album "Crimes of Passion" back in the 80's!! Another great band out of Winnipeg!!

[Andre609]

Apparently some people don't appreciate the true gold that came from the era. Just sad.

[lundehund44]

'hits'?

[hawkeye069]

best canadian band.....streetheart...!

[darkslide541]

Amazing, we have no dislikes. :D

[Chadasdf]

@darkslide541 you jinxed it dude...

[babyimawantyou]

A Number Of Bands Thats Overated Hmmm...

Led Zepplin

Pink Floyd

Black Sabbath

The Doors

Rush

[TWatsonism]

@babyimawantyou dude are you on crack? the're the most popular rock bands for a reason, cause their fuckin amazing!

[NuclearPotatos]

@babyimawantyou id like to see you even try to play any of their songs on drums, guitar or bass, of sing as well as geddy lee.

[babyimawantyou]

@NuclearPotatos no cause they suck

[Haloplayer20]

@babyimawantyou rush sucks? you have no future...

[babyimawantyou]

@Haloplayer20 Look Boy Im Canadian And I Dont Even Think There That Great There Overated Im Sure Lots Do Agree!!

[Haloplayer20]

@babyimawantyou There really wasn't a need to capitalize every word in the sentence.

[babyimawantyou]

Rush Is Overated In my Opinion

[Chain1234]

@babyimawantyou I agree

[babyimawantyou]

@Chain1234 ya eh im glad you agree lol i think the only best song they made was Working Man and Hmm Maybe Fly By Night

[esehn]

@babyimawantyou

What about Closer to the Heart, Tom Sawyer and Limelight? Super complex music...I play and and I can't even come close to these guys...amazing musicians

[babyimawantyou]

I wish it was 1981 and i could be in that era and play there music sit back do a few rails and drink back a nice 40.

[bobg58]

It does have a resemblance to Paperback Writer... for just about a bar or two.

[clay70]

"Dear Sir or Madam, will you read my book? It took me years to write, will you take a look? I was thinking of you"..come on people, ask a friend what Beatle song "Thinking of You" 's verse sounds like. I have done it with 3 of my friends already and all three thought it over and said "Paperback Writer" without any coersion..Can anything be more obvious?..Ask the writers, Belanger and Hannah yourself...

[CronicAAA]

@doomsword86 Yeah bro rush is good :)

[thosedirtywomen]

@KafutafishLK. beiber is a fucking pussy. to compare that fuckhead with any canadian rock bands from the seventies or eighties is not right. you can compare that dildo with those queer boy bands from the eighties and nineties but not with harlequin.

[babyimawantyou]

-Canadian Muscle-

[pinkfloydthewall100]

the 80's was the best ever for rock. and the canada put out the best of it.

[Rapealight1]

@guitarist149 I wish man.

I fuckin wish

[mandaladouble]

I hope I don't jinx this great song, but it tells you something that there are no thumbs down...

[guitarist149]

My mom's boyfriend plays with these guys every now and then and they are going to be playing at my school this May 26th. That's going to be pretty gnarly.

[Shun101010]

My uncle's best friend AJ is now drumming for these guys.

[powerod55]

ahhh the good old time, how i miss them

[exposedfilm2]

the opening is very beatles-ish

[ElSmacko15]

No, seriously though it's Harlequin.

[chattershatter]

thanks

[clay70]

@Liz,,,are u deaf? good god

[shotgunwedding69]

saw harlequin 81-82 in Chilliwack B.C. shortly after moving there Great Concert. The Canadian bands of that time kicks ass!

[clay70]

It's a good song indeed..But how they never got sued by The Beatles is beyond me..This song was lifted straight from "Paperback Writer"...

[LizRichieBand]

@clay70

where are your ears....in yer bung hole?

good god

[cookies15682]

When I typed in Harlequin, I was expecting something along the lines of Assassin's Creed rofl.

[sidal51k]

Harlequin not Kim Mitchell

[igetpaidtopost]

God this song rocks!

[Delekham]

I'll be stinking of you...HELLZ ya...more than once!!!!

[unstabledavid]

@fruitvibes yor secret is out! i live in lockportt ny 10 miles from the border all my favorite bands and artist s come from north of the border...saw big sugar play a spectacular show at a festival here over the summer ...anyhow canada rocks love your country...

[metallica606]

Gotta love canadian music. To bad I missed out on these guys having grown up in Winnipeg in the 90s. Still fantastic none the less.

[rondevous77]

The bands current line-up consists of George Belanger, Nik Rivers, Derrick Gottfried, Darren Moore and AJ Chabidon.

[rondevous77]

I am still convinced that this is one of the best solos around. It's not the most difficult or intricate thing...but it just fits! Everytime I hear this song on the radio I crank it up to max. Long live great Canadian bands and great Canadian music!

[TheMrhitler219]

CANADIAN MUSIC IS AWSOME!!!!!! Neil Young, The Guess Who, Honeymoon Suite, Rush, Kim Mitchel, Max Webster, Loverboy, Harlequin, Trooper, All AMAZING Bands =D

[kimbolimbo1]

Canadian Bacon

[red65novawagon]

What a great tune from another great Canadian band.

[gilmour480]

Straight up a kick ass song. Proud to be Canadian.

[nailclippers3]

Wow,this reminds me of all the "road " parties we used to have in the car,3 or 4 of us buddies with not a care in the world each of us with a drink between our legs and a big thick party joint passing around the car as we sucked up the highway doin 80 mph.Those were the days my friend.,,,BUT... I hate it when that happens now.

[Stiffroot]

Too many people under-estimate our brilliant bands. We have the best 3 member bands in the world! Hope you all enjoy!

[uptoearth]

It sounds like a toilet is flushing in between the "thinking of you" parts in the lyrics. Hilarious!

[uptoearth]

Thinking of you (WHOOSH) Thinking of you (WHOOSH)

[stojkovic48]

[seditionape]

[reversible2]

im good friends with george belangers ( the lead singer) son.

[honDaggerlee]

gene simmons calls canada the new europe for bands. He said canadian bands are underrated and should get more exposer!!!!

[bubaluie]

if you like this - look up Prism - more glorious canadian classic rock

[dvideto]

We cant forget Rockers Kim Mitchal and David Wilcox,Long live Canadian Music!!

[fro0tlups]

its actually kim mitchell lol, but yeah man, canadaian bands kick ASS!!! as a matter of fact, ALL canadians kick ass!!!

[samcooleho]

hell ya!!!!

[mapledudeboy]

@fro0tlups GO CANADA EH!

[kevmp]

100 % not kim mitchell, this is by Harlequin

[MommaDiva68]

@fro0tlups This is NOT Kim Mitchell .....this is 100 percent Harlequin !! I can see how you would mix them up - there is a similar sound I pretty much wore this out when I was a teen in the early 80's

[OffalAutopsy]

@MommaDiva68 Actually I thought when I first heard it on CHOM it was April Wine, Hahaha.

[tannerpetrie]

@fro0tlups This is absolutely NOT Kim MItchell. Shame on anyone for thinking so. Listen to Patio lanterns, then listen to this....

Both excellent artists, but very very different.

[firekestrel]

@fro0tlups NOT Kim Mitchell...

[CanadianGirlRock]

@fro0tlups  this is not kim!!!

[KafutafishLK]

@fro0tlups A lot of Canadians have good tastes in music because of influences from British music (Beatles, Zeppelin, Oasis, etc.) media, if you catch my drift. But more recently, Canadians have been more influenced by American (some sort of rap, what some call pop) media. A comparison could be Harlequin to Justin Beiber. I'm not discouraging anybody from critizing my example, or idea.

[meemots]

I agree I've seen these guys, Streetheart, Trooper, April Wine all at local venues, and they all put on a Rockn show!!! Nothing like good Canadian bands!

Rock n Roll Baby!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[spleegulence]

street heart came to my home town a long ways back, (grunthal) but no one believed that it was for real so no one came lol we had like 500 people max in that town lol

[christy437879]

thats my dad! on the drums, he's the original harlequin drummer, David Budzak

[ib6andub9ok]

Congrats christy437879. Bands like your Dad's make Canadian's proud. From local High School Gyms to Vynil Memories to You Tube gold.

[samiwamiami17]

Make's me proud as a Canadian, with bands like Harlequin, Street Heart, Trooper, April Wine, Chilliwack, Edgar Winters. Brings me back to seeing many of them in my local Arena. In small town Canada.

[tmlfan4life]

those are all great bands, except Edgar Winter Group isn't Canadian. Edgar is from Texas while the other band members are from other parts of the US.

[unstabledavid]

always liked this band glad i live so close to the canadian border

[2436st]

i heard it on Vancouvers Rock101.

[bhavan0]

that's where i heard this song too :) i switched from the fox, i listen to classic rock now.

[dvideto]

Long Live Canadian Rock! Why didnt this dudes get a Juno!

[dedediceydeb]

Still one of the best songs ever in rock n roll history of Canadian bands and still played on the better radio stations today.

Niagara's Giant 91.7FM is one of them.

Good stuff!!!

[cromehottie]

Good music..Good times.

[46bourassa]

used to get so drunk to this!!!!f***in great band, f***in memories! why can,t music go back to this ???good times!!

[purpleboxproductions]

sounds like it.yeah

[youcanreachbrent]

Did you know that the singer George Belanger got the inspiration for this song....with a Beetles song "Hey Jude" check the endings for both songs....I love this song!

[megagamer13]

there playin at peace fest on the 11th of august its a big party in peace river alberta them and trooper

[hardcharger]

AWESOME and underrated band!!!

[1badassmuthafuka]

These guys opened up for david lee roth on the eat em and smile tour in edmonton...they rocked hard and sounded great.

[koho68steve]

harlequin, trooper, streetheart even honeymoon suite - great canadian rock bands from late 70s and 80s when chum-am ruled.

[Brandaleena]

Honeymoon Suite...not THAT is a name I haven't heard in a long time. Great band!

[thosedirtywomen]

you know talentshow098. your daddy taught you well. canadian bands like this deserve the respect that they worked their butts off for. nice to see that the younger generation respects good old rock n roll. take care.

[jagandme]

: ) Their album love crimes, was supposed to be named "Crimes of Passion", until Pat Benatar snagged that one for her album released at the same time. Thanks for the tune, got this on vinyl but can't do me any good sitting in a milk crate.

[SourProductions0]

amazing intro
