Tom Cochrane & Red Rider - Big League

[ojicreewarcry]

great tune....canadian eh.

[kells115]

Haha i'm 19 and I'm rediscovering Tom cochrane! His music's so great! Ive listened to his music since I was little, and then I heard this song today on the radio (I refuse to tune into the Beat 94.5 to listen to today's shitty stuff on repeat) and blasted the music on the way to work, I couldn't help it :P tom cochrane really is underrated! Great music and fantastic voice :)

GREAT SONG

[FellowWorker1905]

@xXNotiousXx31 -(odd name, that) swimming is not a sport, it's exercise.

[AliceTRoyal]

This song always makes me think of "Death of a Salesman".

[KingsFanSince95]

i dont ever want to know how painful it would be to lose your child like this... i think i would rather just die than go to my front door and be told your son has died in a car accident...

[pokemon2883]

my boys gonna turn some heads

[14truthisbeauty]

my boy is gonna knock 'em dead

[JoelH790]

Deacon sent me here

[14truthisbeauty]

i wish my son would come home

[znogypogy]

would have been a great hockey nightin canada theme song, without the "truck doing 70 in the wrong lane" the theme they have now sucks some major donkey balls....

[InfiniteRedEye]

@znogypogy they could totally take that part out for the intro though! they should pick this song neway!

[berdoofool]

mutha fuckn dope

[Pagliaro335]

cant think of many better father - son songs. i know mine really loved this song

[SnowbirdFlock]

I don't like hockey or this song. Or any of their songs really. I met TC once and I got the impression that he didn't want to talk to me.

[nacholibre110]

@SnowbirdFlock Then why exactly are you here on this video? And can you blame him for not wanting to talk to a person that doesn't like his music or hockey?

[SnowbirdFlock]

@nacholibre110 I just wanted to tell the world that not all of us Canadians like hockey. Some of us would rather swim

[nacholibre110]

@SnowbirdFlock Well first of all, no one gives a shit about your personal likes/dislikes and that still doesn't answer why your watching these videos.

[SnowbirdFlock]

@nacholibre110 I'm here to state my humble opinion!

[xXNotoriousXx31]

@SnowbirdFlock then go watch a swimming video you twat

[SnowbirdFlock]

@xXNotoriousXx31 I do watch them. You might wanna watch them too; swimming's considered the healthiest sport, and we swimmers don't get all those serious injuries that hockey players get. I love swimming!

[progyrocky]

It doesn't get anymore real that this for kids growing up in small towns across Canada.This is more than a great song, it's almost a piece of our culture.

[justinvienneau]

rip bourdon

[MeatProdux]

fuck this shit. lunatic fringe n e day bra

[oxstar17]

who knows were to get this son because its not on itunes and i dont have limewire so if anyone has it or knows were to get it comment a reply please !!!!!!!!!!!

[hockeyman000111]

this song remindes me of luc bourdon, Miss ya bud

[bje88]

This song was made about my dad's friends son ( my dad knows Tom Cochrane) He was goiing to the NHL, but one night when he was driving a semi truck came into the lane and killed him.

[ziggyzagboi]

This song was not made about Tom Cochrane's son, he wrote it for another father's son

[dkrickard]

@ziggyzagboi

Its actually about George Pelewa. Look it up.

[ziggyzagboi]

@dkrickard ya thats why i said another fathers son NOT Cochrane's

[TheWitchOvAgnesi]

@dkrickard I looked it up on Wikipedia (FWIW):

"Tom Cochrane's song "Big League" is incorrectly rumoured to be about Pelawa.[4] Cochrane says the lyrics are based on a true story, but is about a different player.[6] "

[hockeyshark6]

this is like the best song ever cause i change it to my girl and that is me i am the captin of my team but i wake up at 7:00 and then i take shots till 8:00 so this song has inspired me sooooo much:)

but it is so sad cuz he died:(

[cheese22216]

RIP luc bourdon we will always remember you i wish you where still here :(

[ForeverWanderingxx]

I was watching a hockey game with my dad tonight, and Tom Cochrane played this song in memory of Luke Bourdon. He left out this verse:

All the right moves when he turned eighteen

Scholarship and school on a big U.S. team

Out with his girl near Lake McClean

Hit a truck doing seventy in the wrong lane

To the Big League

because thats basically how Luke died. This song really hits home. Thanks for posting.

{Yes, it was a Canucks game.}

[jigsaw99]

best opening game ever... rip luc.

[ForeverWanderingxx]

I completely agree.

And I love how I miss spelt his first name there.

Luc Bourdon*** Not Luke =]

[iDangle23]

Great Song!!!!One of hockeys greatest!!!

[78bunker78]

Hockeys anthem!

[chickiegoalie1520]

this song rocks but u got to put in some more pictures to make it better and get more comments. the big leagues GS

[1michelemichele1]

Nah, there's already an official video, and even if there wasn't: most of the people I know use YT as a kind of radio, they're not interested in videos.

I'd like to do a few clips, but movies are a huge amount of work (huge).

[RealLifeTrolling]

I agree, pictures are pretty much pointless
