Trooper - We're here for a good time (Not a long time) 1977

From their 'Knock 'Em Dead Kid' album - 'We're here for a good time (not a long time)' reached #12 on Canadian charts. I thought it was a #1 song, because of its huge popularity among fans and playing constantly on the radio - a Canadian crowd pleaser :)

A fun (happy and sunny!) video made on Pinnacle Studio Ultimate Version 14. I hope you enjoy it !!

This is one of many (party) tunes that the band is well known for ! Others include 'Raise a little hell', 'The boys in the bright white sports car', 'Two for the show', 'Round, Round we go', 'General hand grenade', '3 Dressed up as a 9', and more. Trooper has also brought softer touching songs to their fans that include 'Oh, Pretty Lady', 'The moment that it takes', 'Janine', and more. With their great beats, Trooper continues to please the crowds !

Well I can't say it better than these words taken from their web-site: "It's no exaggeration to say that Trooper has become a Canadian legend. They continue to perform their huge collection of hits with the vitality and sense of humor that has served them well on their steady march through the hills and valleys of Canadian Rock and Roll."

It is quite a song eh Robert! Its popular over here, but maybe not so much in the US.. like a lot of our Canadian music it seems, so much of it unheard. Well thats alright, we can share it now! Thanks on the transitions, they are so much fun! I am thinking to get another movie maker, then look out! lol Thanks again for listening. Take care my friend.. my warmest of wishes. Be blessed Robert x

Classic tune! Thanks so much for posting it.

At 2:40, is that Montreal's La Ronde? Sure as hell looks like it! Either way, nice job with the video.

Later,
