[davidcotestratton]

[ksnugglebunny]

I heard this for the first time on the TPB movie The Big Dirty..... can't remember the rest of the title. But I thought this was a great song.

[jnjdun]

He looks exactly like how South Park draws Canadians.

Love this song and The Hip.

[lindz310]

I am From Bobcaygeon Ontario and they should have put some pics or videos of the town in the music video.

[EmmeJayKay]

As an American, my first introduction to Canadian music was via TPB. Because of them, I got more interested in Canadian music as a sort of exercise. Now, instead of saying, "That music is really good", I say, "That's Canadian good." Some might think that as flippant or that music is somehow non important but you tell me what people will remember in 1000 years: a good song or some pointless unilateral war(s).

[marshalrox]

@EmmeJayKay wars

[theodigital]

@EmmeJayKay thanks buddy *farts* aaaaaaahahhahaha did you hear that Philip?

[GTREDWALL]

[brady121212]

@GTREDWALL This is pure Nova Scotia right here

[420ozman]

@brady121212 this is in fucking ontario dumbass

[blackeyjr]

I didn't need to watch Trailer Park Boy's to hear this song. But hearing it, gave me goosebumps. Tragically Hip + Trailer Park Boys = Canadian Masters.

[JesterNeil]

@blackeyjr Screw The Trailer Park Boys..... ITS CANADIAN KICK ASS MUSIC lol.

[malpho]

16 shithawks dislike this song.

[noheros3]

Great song, heard it on tpb movie just a bit ago. Reminds me of modest mouse.

[beck12341000]

Love Canadians! I'm an American and absolutely love The Tragically Hip!

[JimB667]

This song is just too perfect.

[JesterNeil]

@JimB667 Too True

[MrFelixLiter]

"here's a song about a cop from the city, who falls in love with a girl from the country"

-Gord Downie

[hosemasterg]

i love this song, but i also love my music at work...but youtube just told me i cant listen to tthe hip in my own f'in country...um, arent the hip canadian?...slightly peevd, possibly more so if this persists...

[syzygy111]

Gord Downie's got the yellow fever. Who knew?

[MachineMan79]

I'm from Bobcaygeon, Damn Proud Of It.

[TheRitterAgency]

[23SuS23]

[Gr8flDdFn]

this is my favorite hip song atm. :)

[ottawan613]

"I AM the liquor, Randy. I am the liquor..."

[ontariobuds]

@ottawan613 NO NO. it's...

Mr.Lahey is this you talkin' or the liqour?

Randy.....(gulp) I am the liquor

[makattak88]

How could this song NOT put a BIG smile on your face?

[turfturbo]

This song isnt about the town of Bobcaygeon really. Gord himself said it could have been any small town , only Bobcaygeon rhymed with constellation.

[markymarc022]

I think The Hip should come to Bobcaygeon and play like u guys sing a song about are home town like at least come play in Bobcaygeon here Ive seen u guys like 7 times in the GTA but come up to Bobcaygeon and play

[5312rox]

do you think it was actually shot in bobcaygeon?

[MorningDemon]

I still love seeing Hugh Dillon show up randomly as the preacher in the video.

[LauraRadar]

they're from my home cottage country, the places they sing about I know, Bobcaygeon is near Algonquin Park in Southwest Ontario, its beautiful.... many small towns in that area have incredible bands play in the summer time when its really busy - its beautiful in that part of the world

[Kaneiku]

Right on satansdik xD. Canada shits all over america. American's are simply to arrogant, scared and mostly stupid (not generalizing here) it's not their fault though really. I'm not even Canadian ;p, well im 1/4. Koolkats gtfo. Help yourself. You have a whole database at your fingertips.

[teddybeitler]

are you kidding me? canada is funny. Any country whose favorite sport is hockey has more issues than a news-stand. Good song. Heard it for the first time on "trailer park boys" lol. canadians are cool though. respect. 8=====D

[dong2phat4u]

@Calvinatorns

Any relation to Oliver(Ollie) Bowles?

[rickc1945]

Very well done!

[JoshC54]

Hip!

[JoshC54]

I am From America and I love the HIP!

[SunnyvaleLife]

@ JoshC54

So do I!

[vergeee]

fucking love that place cottage country

[cjarabia]

I followed a link to this song and I don't get it. Why would anyone link to this. This song is lame, his voice is horrible. Canada sucks and wishes it was America. What a lame link to follow.

[bdiemert2]

so cool to see laurie brown in this video!

[LeijaTurunen]

Bobcaygeon ROCKS! I love it up there! =)

[024eciloPehTkcuF]

f*ing racist

[IronFather1]

have you been to TO lately its fill with chinks

[Nolanhod]

@chronix2x Canada Is the most multicultural couintry on the planet COME ON

[satansdik]

@chronix2x and, quite obviously, YOU are NOT a true canadian.

luckily for you, while we don't condone or accept your bigotry, we will let you live in our fair country, among peoples of all nationalities and creeds.

if you don't like it, there are plenty of other places you can go. no one is making your stupid ass stay here in the BEST COUNTRY ON EARTH.

[koolkats3]

do you know any popular music in canada im doing a project over your country and i cant find any music. pleasee pleaseee help!

[satansdik]

@koolkats3 really? REALLY? you obviously have NO internet search skills. try searching for "canadian bands" on google (or the search engine of your choice).

if you STILL can't find any canadian bands, then you deserve to fail your project.

[JayAyche]

Lol thats hilarious dude, there's probably a bunch of artists that you are familiar with that you just don't know are canadian

[phunseekr]

@koolkats3 how bout Celine Dion..is she popular enuf for ya?

[sportsandbeer]

Have you ever heard of Rush? Hahahahaha

[RoR0RoRoR0RoR0R0]

yeah i got onto tragically hip through gordon downies feature in city and colour's (dallas greens) song sleeping sickness.

[luckystriker888]

Thanks for all the great stuff you 've been givin' us.( Tragically Hip fan from Belgium)

[lesscunning]

i found the narrative flow of this video MOST disconcerting.

[sportsandbeer]

I got to amit i love you guy's. You help me get threw christmas. Never stop making music!

[DAZEOFTHESTONED]

Some may say it is crazy to say this. But this is the best hip song ever. And the band is probably laughing at me. If they ever read these comments. Like who the fuck does???

[mrbrightsideward]

My personal favourite Hip song too. And i love every single song they've ever made. That fact that the town this song is named after happens to be where my heart is and where my summers are spent has nothing to do with it lol

[heytoguy]

@DAZEOFTHESTONED Nah. It's not crazy to say that. It is a great song, but definitely not my favorite.

[ladykiller85]

I love this song, have to credit Trailer Park Boys: The Big Dirty for allowing me to hear it the first time.

[thespoondawg21]

yea same here, credit tune. heard it and had to get it. loved the hip ever since

[accident7]

@ladykiller85 indeed

ive heard this song from along time ago but hearing it in that movie made me happy and how it actually worked with the movie it made me happy to see how trailer park boys can compliment themselves with this song and vise/versa

[tizzy1415]

@ladykiller85 the song/clip in the movie went together soo good

[FurryBastardFromMars]

@ladykiller85 same here mate, awesome song

[jaystern71]

@ladykiller85 Same here. I went searching for a little bit after hearing it the other day. This song gives me goosebumps.

[ontariobuds]

@ladykiller85 and who says Canadians are useless?

[JesterNeil]

@ontariobuds WE ARE TOO STRONG FOR THE REST OF THE WORLD. lol

[lsg2112]

These guys are just a bunch of damn good musicians. What a crew! I love watching their stuff when they just get together and play.

[fireflyus10]

Is this ever good.

[steveh1010]

bad ass song...TPB 4 LIFE

[deltaguy767400]

Aryan isn't being used in the racist sense here, look at Robbie Baker's guitar at 4:37, it says "This machine kills Fascists."

[pvvalley]

Which, just for the sake of knowledge, Woody Guthrie wrote on his guitar 60 years ago

[sillybillylilly1]

one star at a time.....he can put words like no one one else.

[sexmachina]

anyone notice how he states that the stars revealeved themselves one star at at time.. and the bands name is The Constellations.. perhaps more about this band than anything else..

[turfturbo]

Q: Bobcaygeon is a town in canada can you fill us in on that before we hear the tune?

Gord's Answer: " Yeah, small town, lots of stars, you can use any town you want. Bobcaygeon rhymes with constellation. "

[sexmachina]

He should have used Haley Station then..

[willf3020]

man ur a fuck knocking on heavens doors has like 4 different chords

and they are repeated

[Rafcyk]

This song is so peaceful and moving at the end of Trailer Park Boys. OK. I mostly listen to metal and heavy kinda things but this song kicks my ass!!!

[skankfester]

I hear you. I am the precisely the same. AND CANADIAN.

[Rafcyk]

Heck. I'm not Canadian, don't now anything about USA/Canada thing but love the show.God bless the internet coz thanks to it i heard about the show coz my shitty film industry don't distribue it. I'm big fan!

[greatcanadianbarbied]

not necessarily nazi....i was born and raised 20 minutes from bobcaygeon, small town canada can be exceptionally racist

[fjkseattle]

Bashon la quands unt de yoba mum quands? Ava Vagines-aryan-kuntshentz?

wow, what a great song

[goldenredhead83]

wow. it is a moving, powerful, intelligent song. so very CANADIAN!

[LunaticAssnGotzGame]

In the middle of that riot, I couldn't get you off my mind....

[TheTallSanders]

a great song! the tragically hip are a very political band i find they make beautiful music on such touchy subjects and some subjects in which we greatly agree.

rock on

[syckwun1]

canada baby !

[stuartpieper]

saw these boys in Austin with a good friend this past weekend. They put on a great show!

[AcademicDinosaur]

Amazing.

[tobybirdmann]

in the middle of that riot,.... couldnt get you off my mind.  killer..

[mrbrightsideward]

background: back in i believe '33 there was a softball league between stores. there was a game down at the christie pits (west end of toronto i think) and there was a protest by fascists who did not want a jewish-owned business playing in the league. gordon's singing from the perspective of a riot cop. 2 side notes: gordon mentions willie nelson, but nelson wasnt born untill 33. the song is called bobcaygeon \(beautiful lovely town & my 2nd home) b/c it almost rhymed with "constellations"

[Jordanwut4]

The canadians get the tragically hip as well as city and colour.

I'm way jealous

[flakcflak]

Dont forget AOF to :D

[elle2par]

fuck city and colour the best thing canada has is corb lund

[PAELofDI]

*Leafs

[PAELofDI]

Can ne on you leaves explain what the deal is with the part with the Nazi's at the concert?

[silent0saint]

This song is about a riot that happened in Toronto a long while back, it was ,I think, between two groups of people, socialists and facists, The Nazis government was socialist.

[PAELofDI]

Thanks man, good song though for sure...

[willf3020]

they arent nazis, thats a facist salute

[PAELofDI]

wtfever

[shaokem]

@willf3020... "their voices rang with an aryan twain" Ummm what else could they be? Nazis are facists and the Nazi salute kinda gives it away.

[willf3020]

ye but shouldn't assume them to be nazis, nazis were not the only facists. the origin of that salute comes from the romans.

[shaokem]

I'm not sure how much i'm to assume if the lyrics sang during the protest scene are 'their voices rang with an aryan twain'. Aryan being the key word. I dunno... good video though. I remember seeing this vid debut on MTV. Wow that was some time ago...

[fisticufs666]

it wasnt rascist...just pointing out he sang like a white guy

[lesterclaypool1]

think that might be because hes white ? just kidding ,,,, 8 ]

[shaokem]

The Nazi rise to power was a fascist movement that had its roots in the European nationalist and socialist movements. So wouldn't a riot over which is better fascism or socialism kinda be like the pot calling the kettle black?

[888JimJam888]

I actually think aryan in this sence means superior. Still a because acording to many cultures Aryans were superior(this word goes way beyond hitler BTW)

So i guess what it means is that their voices we're doubted but then when they stepped up to the mike There voice was Far better then anyopne elses.

I think

.

[LambFilms]

Class video and song, just makes me wanna go to Bobcaygeon. Lar

[skottschoonover]

This song makes me think of the Trailer Park Boys movie. I'm a Yankee, but I wish I was a Maple Leaf.

[hi5lo2]

It's never to late to switch teams :P

[tobybirdmann]

good song

[rageohol]

what is this song about?..Ayran twang?..awful lyric..sorry otherwise great tune.

[satorres82]

You have to look up the history of what happened in Bobcaygeon back in the thirties. Race riot I believe. Just google it.

[rageohol]

what races? ..like..English...

and..uhm...who the hell else lives up there!?

[satorres82]

Don't ask me, I'm an American! (lol) Just google Bobcaygeon like I did and wiki will provide you with a history lesson. Natives and white descendents had some kind of throw down in the 1930's, I think.

[raptorsfan92]
