  • OMG...THE WORLD HAS MISSED SOME AWESOME CANADIAN SONGS...

    THIS SONG FROM KIM MITCHELL, CALLED "PATIO LANTERNS" IS A HOT LEGEND THAT EVERYBODY NEEDS TO VIEW AND LISTEN TO AT LEAST ONCE OR TWICE IN THEIR LIFETIME!

    THIS MAN ROCKS CANADA AND THE WORLD...AND IS A MUST!

    THANK YOU.

    SINCERELY YOURS,

    HOWARD PAUL SHORE

    CANADIAN FAN FROM TORONTO, ONTARIO

    /HPS

  • First kisses under the patio lanterns, Doesn't get more Canadian than that.

    Lake muskoka, wasaga beach . Katie was the best kisser

  • Why cant I find this song on iTunes ?

  • Takes me back to the 1970s-- Sundowner Bar, Niagara Falls, Ontario.

  • love the hat

  • I challenge you to find a Kim Mitchell video where he isn't wearing one of those goofy ass hats.

  • I tried to watch the go for soda video and it says not available in your country lmao Im in Canada, kinda silly

  • great music man let the classics live on

  • kim mitchell looks like he is gonna drop dead at any moment. Great song

  • Anyone know if Canadian Tire still stocks these things? It might be a nostalgia kick..but I want some!

  • @Annawe Crappy Tire stocks everything LOL

  • He is really good but has a horrible hairdo, Im just sayin`

  • @SheriffStudios he dont have that no more lol

  •  Love that Kim Mitchell sound... Vocals, lyrics + musicians sound great! (Cool video).

  • Hahaha this shit is corny, but I can appreciate it.

  • Im goin to see him tonight!

  • hes on q107 toronto hes the host i love listening to that station go canada atleast we have one thing to be proud of ;P

  • whats with the opp hat kim?

  • @ptangplaya89 Its there solely to hide his bald head.

  • @Tunnel51 he finally shaves his head...probably shud a down that 20 years ago..lol

  • Before I didn't understand the song but when I watched the video recently I now understand this song much better. This song is actually a good song and quite catchy to sing along to. Way to go KIM Mitchell!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!­!!!!!!!!!!!

  • He should do another version of this video with Michael Cera as the awkward geeky kid.

  • Is there a mullet hiding underneath that cap? Dude needs a good creme rinse.

  • @ana1sninja Ha ha... creme rinse.

  • Every time I hear this song, it reminds me that I'll always be a hoser - and I love it!

  • Check his hat out! He was down with OPP way before that song in the 90`s came out!

  • @DRpretorius39 I am not Canadian..... and I was wondering what OPP was, am I right to assume it means Ontario Provincial Police?? Just a shout out to Canadian Friends up north, us American's down here really dig y'all's Beer, Hockey, and Music!! (The Hip have a HUGE Following here in Florida) However, Y'all can keep the CFL! ;)

  • @palmtreeman1 Other People's Property ;)

  • @palmtreeman1 yeah ontario provincial police... and we dont want the CFL either. check out david wilcox if you like canadian music. he got tons of great stuff. riverboat fantasy would be his most succssful song.

  • @palmtreeman1 Yep, OPP strike force is also the name of my old Hockey team, LOL!

  • This song and many of his others bring back many great memories of my youth. I laugh at people who stumble across Canadian talent and think it is so unusual. Kim Mitchell, the Headpins, Rough Trade, David Wilcox, Bryan Adams, Loverboy, Rush, Triumph, Helix, Colin James, Jeff Healey (RIP), Glass Tiger, Platinum Blonde, Joanie Mitchell and on and on and on... I am a proud Canadian that loves our artists and their music.

  • he was in chatham ont at the rib fest and i got to go and see him becuase i live in chatham

  • @slipknotkings88 I was there also, I was up front at the stage, hope you had a blast, I'm also in Chatham,

    Mr.B

  • Kim Mitchell is by far my favorte artist, Canadian or other.... He is just a genuine guy, and his pure Ontario'ness comes accross to anyone who is from there.

    +1 for the Hat, +1 for the song!

  • One thing I have to admit is that every time I heard Kim Mitchell's songs growing up in Canada........he made me proud to be a Canadian.......Thanks Kim...

    But still, a great song.

  • You rock Kim!

  • This is one of my favourite songs.

  • It's nice to see anything with Kim Mitchell on, a great guitar player and Max Webster were a great band too! Anyone who wants to hear a great rock guitar sound and some virtuoso playing should check out the "Universal Juveniles" album by Max Webster (thats if you can get hold of it!!)

  • when May/June comes along, and I hear this song on the radio... I know it must be summertime soon!

  • kim mitchell, how can u not laugh at this video. and know he is bald under that hat

  • Jeff Healy is the best. With all do respect to Randy Backman

  • Here is a question. Who is the best Canadian guitarist?

  • Rik Emmett -- Triumph.

  • we have a lot of good ones, so thats a good question!

  • alex lifeson

  • very very sick hat,it has many connotations, aswell. but a great voice and a total guitar virtuoso to boot

  • sick hat

    id buy it

  • kick ass band

  • opp:Ontario Provincial Police(his hat)

  • So where IS kim Mitchell? I came across this video and I would really like to know what he's doing now.

  • he is a radio show host now in the states somewhere. =)

  • he's the afternoon host for q107, a toronto classic rock station

    does an excellent job at it too

    still puts on shows basically everywhere, does a lot of hamilton/toronto area gigs, festival of friends and stuff every year

  • The odd thing about this video is that so much people have red hair. Including my father who happens to be from Sarnia as well. Sadly I've never been there but can anyone tell me is there alot of red heads there?

  • I lived there half my life and I didn't see a lot of red heads.

  • Hahaha, love it. So retro

  • The OPP disgrace themselves. Fucking pigs!

  • Love this song!

  • bam bam

    THOSE PATIO LANTERNS! :D

  • Wow, I think that long-hair-baseball-cap look's coming back. I'm afraid the muscle shirt/short shorts combo might be gone for good, though.

  • Kim Mitchell is one of the greatest writers and performers ever. Check out his stuff from his band Max Webster. A true super group. I would hear chops on his stuff and then low and behold, Rush would come out with almost identical stuff on their next album. A true musical genius.

  • well first kim doesnt write his own songs pye dubue , moe berg , jim chevaler . wrote the hit ,,,,a million vacation was garys .

  • So are you are saying Kim does not write the music for his songs? I was under the impression that he did. When I mention "musical" and "chops", I am not refering to lyrics. Granted the lyrics were great and those writers need to be acknowedged. You also said "first", so what is second?

  • please dont miss under stand me kims great i ve been a fan since i was a small boy , and kim writes most of his music too , but i see him as a preformer and entertainer extrodanair

  • Raven, you obviously know your music. What other artists would you recommend? Give me your current top 2

  • yes check out goverment mule

  • Awesome band!

  • that's Pye Dubois

  • your right sorry about the spelling ,,,his real name is paul clark

  • I love this song; it's so happy. ^^

  • i live beside this guys sister

    yay go sarnia

  • This guy is referenced on the last episode of Kids in the Hall season 3. Is he your Jimmy Buffet? Patio Lanterns? Thank you for not exporting this turd. We are sending Jimmy your way.

  • this song is epic

  • Love this song, esp. when i'm getting drunk at my buddies place who has a apatio, and of course patio lanterns!

  • BEST FUCKIN NSONG EVER

  • lol yeas

  • yes!!!!!!!! haaha!

  • OH FUCKIN YEAH THE OPP HAT! (ontario provincial police) canadian province)

  • i wonder if Dana Carvey modeled "Garth" after Kim Mitchell....

    this guy is my all time fave Canadian stud of the 80's

  • Dana Carvey patterned Garth after his brother, who at the time was (and I guess still is) an Amiga and Video Toaster God (sorry, geek moment!)

  • thanks for that information Cliff Claven :)

  • i ♥ this song!!

  • Kim Mitchell is god! lol check out the O.P.P hat, that's awesome.

  • Awesome! Great song!! :) And a Canadian singer, WOOT! :)

  • awesome! this song always reminds me of spending my summers at the cottage in Bracebridge, Muskoka

    I met Kim a year ago in Toronto, he is a genuine nice guy and very down to earth

    thanks for posting!

  • did anyone see how awfully short those shorts were? I love the 80's style and all but that's just blinding!

  • My favourite song since I was a little kid.

  • This song brings back some childhood memories, good stuff :)

  • lmao

    this video is so 80s canadian

    i love it

  • This might be my favorite Kim Mitchel song

  • I wonder if he first got Alex Lifeson to try Fender strats? He was such a dedicated Gibson man before they toured.

  • Ricky from trailor park boys loves him

  • Wow the Video is Terrible but the Song is ausome

  • lol

  • People can put this video down all they want. But I love this song. So great. :D

  • amazing song

  • Thank you for putting up a positive comment after all the junk below us!!!

  • your a fool its slayers raining blood

  • Oh my god. Are you kidding? I certainly hope so. Well that shows how much you know, because REIGN IN BLOOD was the album they released, RAINING BLOOD was merely a song. You, sir are the fool. Never fucking question a metalhead on his knowledge of metal.

  • even has a O.P.P hat YEEE ontario all the way yeeeeeeeee

  • oh yeah "kids in action" kicks

  • this guy is a "true" credit to the canadian race

  • I can't believe I found this song!! That was the first time I've heard it since the album came out back in '86!! Great to re-discover it!!

  • p.s. someone please send me that parody video.

  • well guys, belive me i know who kim mitchell, and he has way better songs then this song, its obvious this song was written to sell albums, the lyrics dont even make sense, and dixie land????? I was born in brampton ontairio and lived there 11 years, so why dont you go fucker your self and then your mom, the comment box is there for a reason, i think this song blows, not kim mitchell, suck it you fag. and please respond, id love to hear some sad assed power trip.

  • I'll Respond, of course it is understandable you do not like this song/video. There are alot of people who like and dislike all type's of music, It just doesn't make alot of sense cause every song ever MADE! was made with the intention of someone liken it. Btw sorry for my grammar I know im not the greatest.
