TRAGICALLY HIP - Blow At High Dough

[acer3123]

i love this song but my fav by them is 38 years old

[applezippometronome]

I would see them every night if I could

[amberw1185]

Gord Downie with long hair! holy geeze! THE HIP ARE UNREAL! Seen them 4 times this year

[1hipfan]

BEST BAND EVER!!

[undertaker1545]

RUSH and The Tragically Hip=Best bands eva!

[funkophone]

@undertaker1545

couldn't agree with you more!

[KickPush84]

Best Canadian bands ever.

[oldshcoolfreaks]

seen them last night in london ontario at rock the park they kicked fuckin ass

[StudedBelt]

BEST BAND EVER

[rushersofdin]

StudedBelt meant thumbs up sorry

[metarika2]

I honestly don't know what is more Rock'N'Roll than this song and New Orleans Is Sinking. It's almost Southern Rock, and yet Americans don't know who the hell The Hip are.

The fact that the US embraced The Barenaked Ladies and shunned The Hip tells me they don't really like real artists if there's no marketing angle to them.

The 'Ladies are OK, but Fiddler's Green and Nautical Disaster have made me cry with their profound lyrics. That's art.

[kinif2]

wow this song has to be one of the best songs from the late 80s

[cassieprice31]

this song fckn kicks ass! hahah i love tragically hip:)

[leifcatt]

Good ol' fashioned Rock and Roll!!

love this song.

[eerieyellowlights]

"Up To here" isn't there debut album.

They had an album before just titled "Tragically Hip"

[kurdtss]

If you'll note I put "full length debut:, the album Tragically Hip was an EP

[canadianmaple09]

Gord Downie's hair in this video is wrong... just wrong. He looks way better with a shaved head! Great song! The Hip are the best band Canada has ever produced.

[dckmn52]

all i can say is if it wasnt for "Made in Canada", i honestly probibally would never have taken as second look at TH.

this song rocks, and i even got a few of my classmates in the US hooked on it.

Long Live the Hip!

[cf80to01]

Great song....great band..... theme to the best Canadian comedy ever (Made in Canada)

[fottballplayer25]

best song ever

[julieannlevine]

One of the best all time bands! Long live The Hip:)

[DeliciousBob]

RIP Gord's Hair

[mcrules4]

LMFAO!!!!!

[bigsmoke777]

He looks better bald!

[bubbabubba20042004]

so awesome, same as 20+ yrs ago. ah the days when gord had hair

[shitbomb420]

haha fuck man the singer is so high man haha wicked tune man

[raina873]

id like to see the hip play more of their older songs from road apples and up to here , every time you go, she didnt know, when the weight comes down, opiated, born in the water, bring it all back all great tunes!

[cf80to01]

This song was the theme to the tv show "Made in Canada". My vote for the best Canadian comedy and it turned me on to the Hip. I took my kids to see them open for the Rolling Stones at Magnetic Hill. They would not listen to a single Hip song (not cool enough I guess) before we went. The day after the concert the only thing they talked about was the Hip... my proudest moment as a dad... my kids and I like some of the same music!

[bigolwaldo]

your kids are just stoners at heart

[nyck6]

lol!

[smcosci]

aren't we all?

made in canada turned into 'the industry' in the usa, but i am soo grateful that i know this exists, especially because of that show.

[sexxxysadie69]

go check out the band Monday Rose!!!

theyre incredible!

[oscarwilde420]

and people wonder why i have "The Hip" tattooed on my ass

[tonymalony1966]

Just Awesome!!!! Great song. I'm from Holland and I love the Hip's music.

[norsericci]

This song is what made me fall in love with the hip

[withinspace]

This band was way ahead of there time with this song. It could be a number 1 hit today.

[raina873]

it could be no it would be ...im from kingston.

[rvanleersum]

I agree. Though I don't know if it was ahead of their time in the video department. :P

[insanitysmuse]

how does this song kick so much ass? the hip are the greatest!!!

[MyThrillKillKult]

Sweeeet

[c0liexo]

duude they shot a movie in my hometown.

[MyThrillKillKult]

Great song loved that headontrain reversal scene

[DarthRhody]

don't know much about anything except this is one awesome song. i first it as the intro for the "Made in Canada/The Industry" show. a show i dearly loved to watch late nite on PBS.

[Onlydreamin1959]

The tragicallt Hip hate making videos, which may be why they aren't really true to the their songs. They are a self-professed performance band and didn't want to be anything else. They just got too big for the sound they created. They are truly wonderful.

[JesterNeil]

I love the Tragically Hip, their songs are amazing, but their music videos never make sense to the words but DAMN THEY ARE GREAT TO WATCH AND LISTEN TOO STONED lol

[kevin200820]

i think the point of the video is to not make sence... peace!!!

[bashafacin]

The song kicks ass, thats enough said

[kennethdude2334]

WHat does "EP" mean

[kurdtss]

Wow I guess you're not old enough to remember EP's, stands for extended play, it only had 7 songs (an 8th bonus song on the CD version) so it wasn't considered a full album, thus the term EP.

[donnaredding]

This isn't their debut album, it was self-titled in 1988.

[kurdtss]

If you read the full description I wrote, it is their "full length debut", the self titled Tragically Hip is an EP.

[perfectdemon1]

Its kind of weird that when he says the word "Dough" his voice really drops, like someone else was saying it

[crazyrabbits]

That music video went well.

[babyvegeta76]

i cant remember what this was a theme song for somewhere on CBC idk juss wondering

[DjBiotch]

Made in Canada.

Best show ever.

[Nolby]

Can anyone agree with me that The Hip is the best band to listen to while sitting around the camp fire at the lake while having a nice cold beer?

[samsprocket]

yes!!

[Kiwikake]

I can, infact. The family does it... Often. Love being Canadian.

[knome68]

totally awesome,quality goods

[cmichelinman]

wickedly deadly song

[oddlyreasonable]

get er inta ya! luv the hip.

[davecdn69]

CANADA KICKS FUCKIN ASS

fuck all yalls shit

[coolmanbrock]

sick tune...nothin better then canadian rock band

[gandhicakes]

Barring Nickleback...

[melak6]

hahahahahahhahahahaa

[smcosci]

i don't know if all the thumbs down signify dislike for nickleback or automatic canadian loyalty. . . .

but i think we can all agree nickleback could be the next creed. as in, wearing a shirt that says 'creed sucks' out in public will get you more friends than enemies.

[TAG037]

Nickleback IS the next creed.

no question 'bout it

[082076]

christ,meet the gods.

[farmer759]

you guys should check out john butler trio

ther real good...check out ther song peaches and cream....possibly better then any of the hips songs but its close...the hip are the man btw

[carswell98]

huh?

I like JB, but his songs are fairly 1 dimensional when you hold them up to Gord's songwriting.

[sjonesi41]

the hip rule

[corabella123]

Awesome!!!This song never gets old. The Hip at their absolute best. too cool.

[rmsmith666]

the only band in north america that matters... at least somebody wants to make music

[dementedsociety]

what about rush!!!!! or rage against the machine! but well if ur a dye hard hip fan you wouldent like rage

[dizzle05243]

uhhh i agree they're good. but like demeted said, what about rage, rush, TOOL for god sakes... many important bands

[Johnizway]

dizzle05243 : Tool is not a Canadian Band they re a Californian Band :)

[dizzle05243]

yes... i am fully aware of that. that wasn't my point.

[2thjake]

FUCK YES!

[8BIgBoy7]

3Gooder

[thetragicallyhip007]

I think I died and gone to heaven

THE TRAGICALLY HIP 007

girl HIP fan since 1988.........

first saw them in rochester at the horizonal boogie bar with spirt of the west

there isn't a band that can even touch them or me for that matter!! HIP-notized ever since I first heard live highway girl/live new orleans early 1980's

[8BIgBoy7]

dats awsome

[phoenyxx911]

GREAT band - you gotta love 3-chord rock & roll ! Earthsystem : Tragically Hip is a condition described by the American comedian Mort Sahl to describe someone who's trying too hard to be "out there" - I think there are a lot of rockers you could say had the condition - Morrison,Joplin,etc,etc

[CrazyJoker666]

Best retro Hip tune, beside Hundreth Meridian

[opey1717]

1989 ??? go back a little further buddy, blue cd amazing song smalltown bringdown 1987

[opinionhead444]

The Hip is the best band ever!

[HighwayBluesForYou]

The hip rules

[earthsystem03]

This band showed up at the dog end of a lousy year in 1989 sort of like when the turtle had its proverbial belly exposed and said look we can still rock on-too bad their name made no sense and their songs made little sense either and never mind they sounded like a watered down Canadian version of Lynrd Skynyrd, without the spark-they were deservedly overshadowed by the more sincere and deserving Nirvana in 1991-too bad these dudes are what survived the 90s.

[TheDozer5]

a watered down canadian version of lynyrd skynyrd? youre a dumbshit, flat out.

[22monty22]

i agree with you..earthsystem03 doesnt know what he's tlking about.maybe if he wasnt to busy making a video about how we should leave britney spears alone he could listen to some good music...the hip is the best thing to come outta canada beside's pearl jam !!! its fags like that who just write dumbshit on youtube to make sure everybody knows how stupid he really is!

[JZTDixon]

Pearl Jam... not Canadian.

[opinionhead444]

Sounds better than the utter shit that populates the airwaves nowadays.

[mjlhuggett]

God damn your eyes

[Shlabbinze]

Back in the day when the Hip was actually hip

[TAG037]

this song will never get old, it just gets better with age...kinda like wine.

[sv6civic]

Canada at its best!

[controlmuc]

wow... vimy ridge, the canada arm and the HIP!

CANADA ROCKS!

[justoffabit]

they really did shoot a movie once in my home town, well I ain't no movie star but I can get behind anything ........ thanx to all the hip fans. On my way from Kingston NY to Kingston Ontario for the hip tour Feb 23, and I thoroughly plan on "blowin high dough"!!! Though it makes no sense, it's the strangest thing! Thanks CANADA!!!!!!

[zyclonb6]

my home town man - hope they treat you well ...they will as long as you're a hip fan...

[ryan20133]

cmichelinman I disagree i think either "when the weight comes down" is the best or "At the Hundredth Meridian" is. don't get me wrong this song is awesome just like all of there songs it's just my opinion

[cmichelinman]

greatest Hip song ever.

[7flies4U]

OMG,sexy gordy was young

[daicynie]

how did u mve so fast,move so fast,into that wedding ring

[gratrax]

Just found this band thanx to a link from a Canadian friend

Awesome

Cheers from Oz

[mattrideout]

OMFG! He's got hair!

Awesome band!

[Nash84]

This song never sounds old.

They could release this song today in 2007 and it would sound new.

[sportsportsport]

"get it out, get it all out, yer stretch that thing, make it last, make it last, at least till the supper bell rings"

I think hes talking about chewing bubble gum

[greatestgoalie25]

The Made in Canada theme song!! Yay!! Always wondered why I could never find it, then someone sang it at Trevi, turns out it has a diff name than I was searching for. Thx.

[canadiantimberwolf1]

Just good ole Canadian Rock & Roll.Sounds just as good now as it did back then.

Good to hear our friends downunder enjoy Canadian Rock as much as we enjoy INXS which if i remember now has a Canadian lead singer from Mississauga Ontario.Awesome

[webbsworld17]

for all u jokes that think the hip are grunge screw u there dam good canadian rock canada fuck ya

[yakon132]

they are tragically hip, and it suit's them

[Herbuliss]

Great Tune,, Unbelievable Band... H

[Mrsiggys123]

he looks like ozzy ozbourne haha

[kissMeImIrishh]

..I grew up on these guys. It saddens me to think that no one in my generation knows who they are, and they only know their *new* music...and everyone knows that their new music could NEVER match anything like this.

[nick583]

Their new music is different but it is still good. Everyone changes over time i love their new stuff too

[sportsportsport]

im the same dude, im in uk, and im 18 and no one knows who they are..but i quit relish the fact that they are like some secret to everyone coz if they were like super huge they could become commercial and stuff. so i like it that there un heard off etc.....it doesnt bother me, and doesnt effect how much i enjoy their music.

[blackcronos3000]

Hi I know who they are and I am 41, yep, been a fan since I was an egg and sperm! They put out a 4 track EP tape early on when they were trying to break the UK, I loved it!

[zyclonb6]

They are still kicking - just not as hard...

[Kiwiana36]

Go TH...... we luv your music down under in New Zealand :-)

[MUCKER8119]

CLASSIC

[EamonnJ]

Yeah, I saw this in '89 or '90 then saw them at the Spectrum in Montreal when they toured "Up to Here".

Downie was mesmerizing, sweating in jeans and "greb" boots...his improvisations (which he probably prepared for really well, like a real artist) were amazing--I mean the guy was like a hyper Jim Morrison with a band playing sped-up bayou rock...in the meantime a lot of their songs since then really stop time, like Ahead by a Century, Something On, and others.

[RideMyBMW]

I remember the first I heard "Blow at High Dough"...Absolutely floored. I think The Hip haven´t gotten the fair shake they deserve for rolling out the "grunge" carpet way before the "Seattle" acts.

[sprucebuddhas]

i loved seein' em back in the 90's in new mexico & texas- you could actually hear gordie sing (instead of every fan at the show).

[skydivebaby]

One of the greatest consistent live acts I've seen...been a fan since early days!:)

[gallerywench]

I was living about an hour outside of Seattle when Up To Here came out. New Orleans Is Sinking came on the radio one night when I was out driving. I had to pull over and listen. I saw them at The Backstage not long after that. Amazing show and I stood right in front of the stage dancing for most of it. After singing his ass off Gordy sprawled out on the stage. I thrust a pen and an album sized poster of the Up To Here cover into his hand and he signed it for me. Great band!

[lwplwp]

Watching "The Industry" on my local PBS...just had to find the vid....good stuff....

[RideMyBMW]

Kick started "grunge" in 1989 (screw Nirvana´s BLEACH)

[kerrie1234567890]

Amen to that! Feel the power chords!

[BrandySimonton]

holy shit. look at gordie's hair.

[stanky02]

choness...rez anthem...lmao

[piratepocoyo]

Wicked-cool :D!

[daveni2]

I don't remember anyone playing this style of music back then, maybe the black crows a little but not this quality, the Smitherines a little too again not the quality, the hip were pioneers

[RideMyBMW]

"I don't remember anyone playing this style of music back then"

Spot on dude ! Only song I remember that came close was Lenny Kravitz´ "Mr.Cab Driver" (´87?), had a heavy 70s bass riff.

[canericankev]

yeah self title 1st...HIGHWAY GIRL!! WOOOOOO!!! baby I feel fine!!

[dabond]

Made in Canada was a great show and The Tragically Hip are a Canadian gem.

[disgruntledturtle]

i miss that show :(

[dexterriley]

what u are referring to is their EP. UP to Here was their full length label debut.

[dexterriley]

Awesom kurdts "Up to here" such a killer full length debut album. all killer no filler. Can Boots and hearts and trickle down be far behind?..im soo impressed dude..CANCON ROX!!

[nedwards3]

Lol, their debut album is self titled - "The Tragically Hip" from like '86, i think

[2crude]

Great line... "I can get behind anything"

[mirage2k]

Wow. I love this band, but I didn't realize they looked so '70s back then...in 1989. Yeesh.

[Dibrini]

I remember only hearing this song as the theme for the show "The Industry" (AKA "Made in Canada) when it was shown on PBS stations in America. That was the first I ever hear of Rick Mercer also.
