49 yr old Canadian here. This song came out when I was 15. I saw the BNL at a small venue when I was 16. Everyone was throwing boxes of Kraft Dinner at the band. They stopped playing and threatened to leave so we threw our socks and they kept playing. Fast forward 25 yrs and I see them at a large venue in my hometown and the band while on stage tells the story of how we threw our socks at them all those years ago. It was a full circle moment. This band has seen me through the highs and lows of life.
I booked these guys in 1991 to play at the pub I managed- for $370, production costs and motel rooms. Packed the place to the rafters and everyone had a BLAST- The Ladies joked around, rapped, danced and killed it. Still the best live show I've ever seen; and still have the 5-track cassette tape they sold afterwards.
Is it plain white and just says Barenaked ladies? I got a cassette after a show in Alberta and it was a white tape with a homemade paper sticker label.
@@sl0ptart My particular cassette has a yellow paper liner and has "barenaked ladies" in black ink with a sandwich, and there is an olive impaled on the stem of a daisy stuck into the sandwich. The tape itself has white labels, and was 5 songs, the same both sides. Welcome to antiquity.
Thank you for being the first reactors to do our Canadian BNL!! I really appreciate you continuing down this Canadian path. They have a lot of really fun songs. One Week will have you scratching your head - but LYAO. You might want to pull up the lyrics for it. Thanks again from Ontario, Canada! Love you guys! ETA - I would renovate my house, get a new car, and help out my friends and family :)
*I know* a song i'd like to hear (well pretty much anybody's) reaction to..... ^^ (C'mon if you're Canadian you should get this aren't the Ladies like, a religion there or something? i dunno', maybe there's just one small group of Canadians from Toronto that kidnap nerds from Street Fighter tournaments and force them to appreciate Folk Music? Not that i dwell on or regret that) i blame YOU KNRQ!! Also McDonald's Girl and Moxy Fruvous! i hope my captors have fared well. xD
Fun fact: Back in the 80's, early 90's, Toronto used to have a video booth downtown called Speaker's Corner. For a dollar (or a loonie), you could film yourself and your friends doing whatever you wanted for 1 minute. Each week a local Toronto TV station would air "Speaker's Corner" featuring some of the most interesting, informative, entertaining clips made by the public. The Barenaked Ladies got noticed for performing one of their songs "Yoko Ono" which basically launched their career. Long before the internet and TH-cam these guys did it with a dollar and a few seconds of air time.
Art like Picasso, and “Art” like “Art Garfunkel” the musician. You may know Barenaked Ladies better for having done the theme song for The Big Bang Theory tv show, if you’ve watched that before.
Indeed good call......"Our whole universe was in a hot dense state. Nearly 14 million years ago expansion started wait!...." ;o) Who could forget those lyrics? Love em! And along with Big Bang Theory, BNL has just about done it all. I've liked these guys a lot since the mid-80's. Also, Thanks for this reaction Asia and BJ!
Play this song in a crowd of 45-55 year old Canadians at a gathering or pub and you are very likely to end up with a sing-a-long. While BNL's later stuff had more international success, their first album (Gordon) tends to have a special place in the hearts of many Canadian Gen Xers (and some older Millennials).
I’ve seen them live, 6 times and they always sing some fun songs, reminiscent of childhood! For example, twice- same Summer/same tour- they sang the theme song to “Sesame Street!”
This song was a one of a kind when it came out. I was living in Toronto at the time and caught them in concert a couple of times. They were fantastic. One Week is a great song by them. They did a lot of good stuff. This was like being in a time capsule lol thanks for the memories!
One time on a cruise which was also a music festival (with Barenaked Ladies headlining), my friend and I totally by accident crashed Jim Creegan's birthday party (he's the bass player for Barenaked Ladies). Instead of making us leave, Jim actually brought each of us a slice of his birthday cake. I have met each member of this band at least briefly and they are all super nice people.
I've seen them three or four times in concert. Fantastic shows all of them. "Jane," "Brian Wilson," and "The Old Apartment" are all amazing songs. BNL is a band with range. They can do comedy songs like this...existential songs like Brian WIlson...and everything in between.
Another great Canadian group is called the Crash Test Dummies. They're song about Superman... It was a deep and reflective song that haunts me to this day. I'm one proud Canadian of our talented entertainers.
Of all of the great Canadian bands, Rush, The Guess Who, Triumph, etc., these guys are my personal favourite. Pop music yes, but catchy and fun. I think that Enid is my favourite but it's hard to choose. Watch their videos or their live concert stuff too, they always look like they're genuinely having a blast.
Lifelong fan of BNL. My wife and I have grown old with this band. We’ve seen them 18 times and this summer will be 19 and 20. It’s what we do. And every time we go we leave happy.
Ohhhh you’ve got to listen to these two Barenaked Ladies songs: Brian Wilson (live) and What a Good Boy (live). You’ll get a good taste of his amazing vocal skills….soooooo good☺️
Late summer of 1987, Vancouver BC @ The Railway Club. Studios got word of this new band out of Ontario and we were asked to check them out. Were they ready for the AAA circuit. Thought they were a little bit weird but that was the trend in those years. Others were groups like Crash Test Dummies. The rest is history
Finally a BNL! "One Week" is their big hit but this song is just iconic especially in Canada. Ed and Steve (the two guys singing) wrote this song as teenager's working as counselor's at a music camp. Other songs I would recommend especially from the early days are "What a Good Boy" and "The old Apartment"
In case you were confused, "Kraft Dinner" is the Canadian name for Kraft Mac n Cheese. So they wouldn't have to eat mac 'n' cheese, but they still would!
BNL was/is a great, fun band. They also wrote and recorded some incredible songs. My favorite is “Jane” and also “Brian Wilson”. Go for it! Love you two. Keep up the good work! 😎🎶❤
Great reaction. Impossible not to smile when you hear this - that is the point I think. My favourite BNL songs are Brian Wilson and Lovers in a Dangerous Time (Bruce Cockburn cover).
"Picasso or a Garfunkel" (This is a play on words. 'Art Garfunkel' the musician is who they are referencing. There is a video of BNL here on YT where he breaks that down a bit to explain it) Thanks for the video though. 🙌
Great band , very unique try their songs- pinch me, it’s all been done, one week, the old apartment.. they actually sang the big bang theory theme as well!
BNL was one of my favorite bands growing up in the U.P. of Michigan. We'd get to hear some of these Canadian bands before they'd make it here in the US.
This was one of their first big hits, but they’ve got so much good stuff. And Asia was exactly right about Garfunkel. Art Garfunkel was the other half of Simon and Garfunkel.
Thank you for doing the BareNaked Ladies!!! 🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦 I was having fun watching you having fun. Pinch Me, One Week The old Apartment are few other songs to check out. Cheers
I love this band! Seen them live so many times, and I'm pretty sure they perform this song in every single one of their shows! They put on a great live show.
My brothers band opened for the BNL way back when. They changed their name to" Free Beer" for the night so outside on the marquee the sign read; "Free Beer with Barenaked Ladies" They do the best cover of "Lovers In A Dangerous Time" by Bruce Cockburn
Loved this reaction and the song brings back some awesome memories. Regarding the lyric, "I'd buy you some art, a Picasso or a Garfunkel..." Simon and (Art) Garfunkel.
Two Barenaked Ladies songs that were super popular are "Pinch Me" and "One Week". This song is different from their usual alternative/rock sound. You will likely recognize them if you heard them. Great reactions, thanks to both of you! -Joni
There are a number of songs that don't get much air play that are flat out great songs. "The Old Apartment" and "Brian Wilson" are great songs. "Tonight Is The Night I Fell Asleep At The Wheel" is different. "Maybe Katie" is good. I'll end up listing most all their songs if I don't stop now ;)
As Canadian as it gets 🇨🇦💙 My friend and i won a talent show with this song in grade 2, but im convinced its because the teachers did it too, complete with costumes and props 😅
Believe it or not they have a real deep discography. Everyone wrote them off as that band with the goofy songs but they have so much more than this and one week. They do have a great sense of humor which really comes out in their concerts. But also great, heartfelt songs too. I'll let everyone else direct you to their popular songs but I'm gonna ask you react to one of their deepest songs: War on Drugs. An amazing song.
The very first officiated hockey game I played in was with the Barenaked Ladies and whole bunch of Canadian musicians. After reading Dave Binidi’s book I emailed him and asked if an American brand new adult hockey player could come to the Exclaim Cup. Amazing memories.
They have a lot of fun with their music, but my favorite by them is "Old Apartment". Really makes me reminisce about my younger days in a dumpy apartment.
Love these guys in the day! Saw them live, they are very talented and funny! Love their addition of humor in their music! Very Canadian! Lol Thanks guys, this reaction was hilarious, you to are so fun!! Appreciate you!💕
You should react to more of this band they are great. I have seen them several times. I think you would like "Brian Wilson" or "It's all Been Done", or "Call and Answer". If you get a chance to see them live they are great entertainers and a real fun show. Love the reaction because you get the very spirit of the song.
I'm a fan of BNL... I love their music. Their concerts were amazing and fans turn out. The crowd sings along with every song but they adlib a bunch and have a ton of crowd interaction. I saw them on their Maroon tour and it was one of my favorite concerts ever to go to.
BNL, some good Canadian boys. Their biggest hit in the states was “One Week” hit #1 in ‘98. And Garkunkel was a play on words referring to “Art” Garfunkel from Simon and Garfunkel
love seeing you react to this 😍 i’ve been listening to them since 91 when this album came out and it’s still one of the few albums i listen to with no skips. so glad i grew up in a city in NY that’s practically Canada (it’s so close it gets canadian radio stations) or i may have not found them so early 🤗
I think the joke about art was missed. He said, "if I had a million dollars, I would buy you some art. == a Picasso or a Garfunkel" (as in "Art" Garfunkel). 🤣🤣🤣
They were a group from Toronto area, back in the 80's. They had an easy low key style, where you could hum or sing to their stuff. I remember when the mayor of Toronto chastised the group for their group name, all it did was give the group more PR and BNL rode the pop scene for 3 yrs or so, then the group fell apart

Thank you :)

I don't think that they're the first content creators to have reacted to BNL, but it's definitely a case of, "The more the merrier". ✌️🇨🇦🫶

I went on that once my rant never made it to air though.
They still had that at least in 2000, my wife and I went there for our honeymoon! Great city.
That’s where I saw them first !!! Lol … on City Tv . Loved them immediately !!!
@@muleb384 ya im from toronto and remember speakers corner on T.V until around 2001/2002
Before they had a million dollars
Art like Picasso, and “Art” like “Art Garfunkel” the musician. You may know Barenaked Ladies better for having done the theme song for The Big Bang Theory tv show, if you’ve watched that before.
Or possibly Paul Garfunkel the 20th Century, Brazilian, Impressionist & Modern artist. That is the play on words.
Indeed good call......"Our whole universe was in a hot dense state. Nearly 14 million years ago expansion started wait!...." ;o) Who could forget those lyrics? Love em! And along with Big Bang Theory, BNL has just about done it all. I've liked these guys a lot since the mid-80's. Also, Thanks for this reaction Asia and BJ!
She called it... 👀 "Like Simon & Garfunkel?"...
The only sad thing is that some people don't notice how clever the BNL lyrics are.
Some people just donʼt understand sometimes you have to listen more than once.
This band/song is Canada personified 🇨🇦
I hadn't picked up on that fact until I heard the verse about the "K car" I only ever hear Canadians use that nomenclature.
"The Old Apartment" is one of my favorite Barenaked Ladies songs.
Mine, too! It helped me through my divorce! Love some BNL!
6:59 Asia got it, it's Art Garfunkel that they want to buy lol.
Play this song in a crowd of 45-55 year old Canadians at a gathering or pub and you are very likely to end up with a sing-a-long. While BNL's later stuff had more international success, their first album (Gordon) tends to have a special place in the hearts of many Canadian Gen Xers (and some older Millennials).
Especially if those hydro fields ran threw your backyard
They are a fun band, one of my favourites of theirs is "Lovers in a dangerous time", which is a cover of a Bruce Cockburn song, also another Canadian.
Such a great cover
I wonder about Bruce Cockburn sometimes. I was the camp counselor for his nephew back in 1988. Memories.
"Re-live our childhoods."
Nailed it.
BNL are all about embodying childlike wonder and enthusiasm.
I’ve seen them live, 6 times and they always sing some fun songs, reminiscent of childhood! For example, twice- same Summer/same tour- they sang the theme song to “Sesame Street!”
This song was a one of a kind when it came out. I was living in Toronto at the time and caught them in concert a couple of times. They were fantastic. One Week is a great song by them. They did a lot of good stuff. This was like being in a time capsule lol thanks for the memories!
I saw them Dec 31, 1999 in Buffalo, NY. They put on a fabulous show!
I’ve seen them 6 times, live, and it is ALWAYS an incredible fun show!

Brian Wilson is a jam.
Alcohol
Your reaction brought me so much joy! Thanks for the laughs!

Lifelong fan of BNL. My wife and I have grown old with this band. We’ve seen them 18 times and this summer will be 19 and 20. It’s what we do. And every time we go we leave happy.
Ohhhh you’ve got to listen to these two Barenaked Ladies songs: Brian Wilson (live) and What a Good Boy (live). You’ll get a good taste of his amazing vocal skills….soooooo good☺️
Such good songs. Emotional and beautiful.
Thank you for playing Canadian music! ❤️
It’s a play on Simon and Garfunkel lol
Yes, Art Garfunkel paints, and so does Joni Mitchell - in fact she's a painter first.
You guys so got the point of this song! If you don't end up wondering what silly things you'd buy or do, for you and your loved ones, you missed it.
Late summer of 1987, Vancouver BC @ The Railway Club. Studios got word of this new band out of Ontario and we were asked to check them out. Were they ready for the AAA circuit.

Scarborough Music Camp was amazing, and BNL used to come back and do live shows at the camp it was really amazing.
Alcohol is a bop.
A great Canadian band. Love it!
I met BNL at a pizza shop in Moncton NB back in '93 - love these guys!!
Great Big Sea is another good 90s 2000s Canadian Band.
In case you were confused, "Kraft Dinner" is the Canadian name for Kraft Mac n Cheese. So they wouldn't have to eat mac 'n' cheese, but they still would!
After all this time I finally get it. Thank you
I love your banter about the Garfunkel. That slayed me. Good stuff. He's an artist alright!
BNL was/is a great, fun band. They also wrote and recorded some incredible songs. My favorite is “Jane” and also “Brian Wilson”. Go for it! Love you two. Keep up the good work! 😎🎶❤
Great reaction. Impossible not to smile when you hear this - that is the point I think. My favourite BNL songs are Brian Wilson and Lovers in a Dangerous Time (Bruce Cockburn cover).

"Picasso or a Garfunkel" (This is a play on words. 'Art Garfunkel' the musician is who they are referencing. There is a video of BNL here on YT where he breaks that down a bit to explain it)
Thanks for the video though. 🙌
Art Garfunkel is one half of "Simon and Garfunkel" ... He sang lead on "Bridge Over Troubled Water" that you reacted to...
My brother used to sing this all the time. I used to hate it because it would get stuck in my head but I love it now haha
Great band , very unique try their songs- pinch me, it’s all been done, one week, the old apartment.. they actually sang the big bang theory theme as well!
Art Garfunkel is Garfunkel from Simon and Garfunkel…but I like how bj thought he was slick with his “knowledge” on fine art…love you guys!
BNL was one of my favorite bands growing up in the U.P. of Michigan. We'd get to hear some of these Canadian bands before they'd make it here in the US.
The Old Apartment is a classic 90s banger...!!!!
This was one of their first big hits, but they’ve got so much good stuff. And Asia was exactly right about Garfunkel. Art Garfunkel was the other half of Simon and Garfunkel.
Omgah!! Yall are bringing me back! I love that yall are reacting to this. ♥♥♥
I had the hots for ED'S sister in high school in Scarborough, in the 70's, time flies.
Thank you for doing the BareNaked Ladies!!! 🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦
I was having fun watching you having fun. Pinch Me, One Week The old Apartment are few other songs to check out. Cheers
I love this band! Seen them live so many times, and I'm pretty sure they perform this song in every single one of their shows! They put on a great live show.
I played that CD so many times. Saw them live in Sudbury. Great band, and they put on a great show.
My brothers band opened for the BNL way back when. They changed their name to" Free Beer" for the night so outside on the marquee the sign read; "Free Beer with Barenaked Ladies" They do the best cover of "Lovers In A Dangerous Time" by Bruce Cockburn
Don't know this band but l certainly like the band's name for some reason.🤔😂
Loved this reaction and the song brings back some awesome memories. Regarding the lyric, "I'd buy you some art, a Picasso or a Garfunkel..." Simon and (Art) Garfunkel.
Two Barenaked Ladies songs that were super popular are "Pinch Me" and "One Week". This song is different from their usual alternative/rock sound. You will likely recognize them if you heard them. Great reactions, thanks to both of you! -Joni
one week!! shit i havent heard that song since i was a little kid, but i still remember the words!
There are a number of songs that don't get much air play that are flat out great songs. "The Old Apartment" and "Brian Wilson" are great songs. "Tonight Is The Night I Fell Asleep At The Wheel" is different. "Maybe Katie" is good. I'll end up listing most all their songs if I don't stop now ;)
Great song. They have some bangers
What A Good Boy is an amazing deep cut by the barenaked ladies.
Other hits are
One Week
Brian Wilson
Jane
Art Garfunkel from Simon and Garfunkel 🤣🤣🤣
"Garfunkles an artist too, he a painter" Said with such confidence he probably believed it himself.
The most fun I’ve ever had at a concert was The Barenaked Ladies! Not only are they a great band, they are hilarious!
As Canadian as it gets 🇨🇦💙
My friend and i won a talent show with this song in grade 2, but im convinced its because the teachers did it too, complete with costumes and props 😅
Believe it or not they have a real deep discography. Everyone wrote them off as that band with the goofy songs but they have so much more than this and one week.

I'll let everyone else direct you to their popular songs but I'm gonna ask you react to one of their deepest songs: War on Drugs. An amazing song.
I only listen to "War on Drugs" when I need a good cry. But that's because it does the job every time.
Barenaked Ladies always make me smile. I saw them a few years ago and it was a great show.
Their songs What A Good Boy and Brian Wilson from the same album are amazing. I saw them live along time ago in a small club. They're too fun.
The very first officiated hockey game I played in was with the Barenaked Ladies and whole bunch of Canadian musicians. After reading Dave Binidi’s book I emailed him and asked if an American brand new adult hockey player could come to the Exclaim Cup. Amazing memories.
Thanks for the reaction to BNL! "This is Me in Grade 9" is another fun song. Lots going on in it.
The Reliant K-car was a rather dorky sedan. :)
John Merrick was the 'Elephant Man'.
Their lyrics were so clever!
They have a lot of fun with their music, but my favorite by them is "Old Apartment". Really makes me reminisce about my younger days in a dumpy apartment.
“Chesterfield” is a Canadian word for couch or sofa .... and “Kraft Dinner” is boxed Mac and Cheese ... 😬👍🏼
Chesterfield is British, we just held onto it. 😉
nobody under the age of 80 in canada actually uses chesterfield though
These guys loved throwing humour into their music, videos and shows. Thanks for giving them a try! ✌ from the great white north❄
The “Art” part...🤣
Asia picked up on it!!!! 👍🏼
This made me smile sofa king much. Thank you for that moment of Joy!
A Chesterfield is a sofa or couch in Canada , Kraft Dinner is called KD in Canada or Kraft Mac n Cheese in the US, Garfunkel’s first name is ART
Love these guys in the day! Saw them live, they are very talented and funny! Love their addition of humor in their music! Very Canadian! Lol
Thanks guys, this reaction was hilarious, you to are so fun!! Appreciate you!💕
They’re fantastic live!!!🎵👍🎶👌🎼✌️
I’ve seen them three times. Amazing each time!
You should react to more of this band they are great. I have seen them several times. I think you would like "Brian Wilson" or "It's all Been Done", or "Call and Answer". If you get a chance to see them live they are great entertainers and a real fun show. Love the reaction because you get the very spirit of the song.
It’s All Been Done is such an underrated, GREAT song! Love it so much!
Jane , The Flag , Lovers In A Dangerous Time, Old Apartment.... so many good songs.
Gotta love Canadian humor!!
Keep in mind that this was written in the mid 90's in Canada, where then, you could basically retire with that amount of money
Nice!!! Pinch me is another good one. These guy's do the Big Bang Theory sound track. Great Cznadian band...Thanks Guy's!!!🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦😃
"If money can't buy happiness, I guess I'll have to rent it." ~ "Weird Al" Yankovic - This Is the Life
Fun fact, this song came out in 1992….the value of 1,000,000 dollars today would be 2,000,300….
"John Merrick's remains..." Forgot about that line...about spit out my dessert, I was laughing so hard...
I just want to hug you both. So glad you enjoyed this simple song.
I so loved this reaction! "He a painter" 😆 This song is just silly and happy.
Wow this takes me back! One of my faves by them! Thank you for discovering some of their early gems ☺️ Much love from Ontario, Canada 🇨🇦
I'm a fan of BNL... I love their music. Their concerts were amazing and fans turn out. The crowd sings along with every song but they adlib a bunch and have a ton of crowd interaction. I saw them on their Maroon tour and it was one of my favorite concerts ever to go to.
Simon and “Art Garfunkel”. They’re great for play on words😂🤣✌️
BNL, some good Canadian boys. Their biggest hit in the states was “One Week” hit #1 in ‘98. And Garkunkel was a play on words referring to “Art” Garfunkel from Simon and Garfunkel
love seeing you react to this 😍 i’ve been listening to them since 91 when this album came out and it’s still one of the few albums i listen to with no skips. so glad i grew up in a city in NY that’s practically Canada (it’s so close it gets canadian radio stations) or i may have not found them so early 🤗
I think the joke about art was missed. He said, "if I had a million dollars, I would buy you some art. == a Picasso or a Garfunkel" (as in "Art" Garfunkel). 🤣🤣🤣
I saw them in Niagara Falls 1995. Loved it. So fun. They were still throwing Mac and cheese on stage back then. With ketchup of course.
One of my favourites of theirs was one of their first - Lovers In a Dangerous Time
They were a group from Toronto area, back in the 80's. They had an easy low key style, where you could hum or sing to their stuff. I remember when the mayor of Toronto chastised the group for their group name, all it did was give the group more PR and BNL rode the pop scene for 3 yrs or so, then the group fell apart
My son when he was little used to sing this song to me. It makes me cry.
Great song! It's a happy song for me!
Art Garfunkel was a musician famously known in the duo of Simon and Garfunkel.
Another great Canadian band! Thanks for your reaction to BNL! I love this groups humor! 🇨🇦🎶❤
My fav BNL song is Call and Answer. Such a beautiful vocal by Steven Page
This was the best reaction EVER!!!! It was absolutely joyful!
These guys were busking in Toronto, and they got signed, and "The Big Bang Theory " theme song is them!! Sending 💘 from Canada 🇨🇦
Old apartment has to be on your list, great song by a great band and they are super fun in concert...♡
The Barenaked Ladies are frequently hysterical!
"I'd buy you some art" - a Picasso (actual art) or a Garfunkel (Art). 🤣
'The Old Apartment' is another great song by The Barenaked Ladies. Other great ones are 'Pinch Me' and 'One Week'.
