    My friend RG moved here to the States right before this song came out. He was from the Philippines and couldn’t speak English. He fell in love with this song and studied it a lot. He figured if he could understand the lyrics to this song he would grasp English much quicker. 20 plus years later I know every damn word by heart because I heard him perform it so often. Great memories.

    • @michaelccozens
      @michaelccozens 2 ปีที่แล้ว +5

      I'd even say a lot of humour. They're a very irreverent sorta band (see: their name), even though they often deal with heavy topics and have some straight-up serious and haunting songs (eg. "Lovers in a Dangerous Time", which is technically a Bruce Cockburn cover but BNL does it very well).

    I worked in radio & once had the privilege of being a backup singer onstage with Barenaked Ladies in front of 15,000 people during a holiday festival concert. I was sharing a mike with them singing a couple of Christmas carols. One of the most fun things I've ever done! They are all super nice guys.

    In 99 I woke up every morning to the radio playing If I Had A Million Dollars. Told the wife I’d like to see that band. She bought tickets for my 39th birthday. Went to the show in Cincy, went to see them in Columbus and Indy on the same tour within a few weeks. We’re going to see them for the 19th and 20th time this summer, Cincy and Dayton. We’ve grown old with BNL. One thing I noticed leaving every BNL concert….. the people are always smiling and happy.

    They're a fun little band! From this same album, listen to "Brian Wilson" which is about the genius behind many of the Beach Boys' hits, and "Be My Yoko Ono" which has one of the funniest imitations of Yoko's "slinging" I've ever heard. (Oh, and you know they did the theme song for "The Big Bang Theory", right?)

  • @tjmair761
    @tjmair761 2 ปีที่แล้ว +84

    To be clear, there are two singers on this track: Steven Page, and Ed Robertson.
    Ed's the one doing the super fast talking rap bits. Steven's the one with the better singing voice.
    For more Barenaked Ladies, I recommend that you check out 'If I Had A Million Dollars' and 'Brian Wilson'.

    Interesting tidbit - The Barenaked Ladies used to busk and play the bar scene in Toronto. in 1991, they got a banned by the then (law and order) mayor from playing the city's new year's eve show because of the controversial band name. The "banning" of course put them on everyone's radar and with great songs, the rest is history.

    Thanks for doing this one! This band has an endless playlist of great upbeat songs. I'm not sure there's ever been a "funner" band to enjoy live ;O) late 90's of BNL were TRULY the GOLDEN years. Their 1997 New Year's Eve Concert at the Palace in Auburn Hills was absolutely THE BEST! One of the best concerts I've ever been too. It's was like one big massive party. They were famous for their "Fan only" cruise vacations too! A friend of mine, who was even a bigger fan, and her ex-husband went on one of those. It was even a tradition for everyone to de-robe and take a nude photo together from a distant camera shot. Lol It was a total blast according to them!

    He’s not taking meticulous notes of everything she does wrong; he is commenting on the pattern that all their fights follow. It’s just a little comment that gets blown out of proportion, he gets defensive, she refuses to apologize, then they take about a week to realize it wasn’t a big deal and apologize to each other.
    They have so many great songs. My all-time favorite is Am I the Only One.

    Finally learned the last line to this one, and glad of it...
    The last words of the song are, "Birchmount Stadium, home of the Robbie." This refers to an annual soccer tournament held for charity at Birchmount Stadium in Scarborough, Ontario. Steven Page and Ed Robertson have said that these are are the hardest words to say in the song.
    The Robbie (officially The Robbie International Soccer Tournament), began in 1967 when some area soccer fans started a boys' tournament to raise money for 3-year-old Robbie Wimbs, who had Cystic Fibrosis. The tournament grew, and later became a benefit for Muscular Dystrophy research as well.

Brad verbalizes his iffyness on the content with insinuations of stalkerish ways exhibited by Ed Robertson while Lex sees a brighter side labeling the vibe "sunny"and continues with a variety of free willed "bops" including "mic mouth", "the toll entrance" and "Ricky Bobby hands". Brad confirms the coolness of the sound after his light "sway" workout.

    I think this was the song that took off in the USA for this band (from Toronto, Canada) because it was played on some popular TV show. This is also the band that does the theme to the Big Bang Theory TV show btw... They are a funny band, at least that's how they started. I think they got a little bit more serious as times went by, but still occasionally would drop funny lyrics. Many are very Canadian too.

    Love BNL!!!! I think this song was one of their biggest hits, but they have a lot of songs. "Who Needs Sleep" is still one of my favorites.

    How is it even possible to be alive over the last 25 years and not know every word of this song? For real.
    Barenaked Ladies have a ton of word play, puns, and references, etc in their lyrics. You should definitely listen to pinch me.

    This is about the Birchmont Stadium (near Toronto which is not surprising since BNL are from Canada). They took down the sign and then put it back up after this song came out:
    "The original sign was removed during stadium renovations a number of years ago, and had not been replaced until this month.
    Entering its 53rd year this June and July, The Robbie is the world’s largest youth soccer tournament for charity. Since its inception, the tournament has raised funds for Cystic Fibrosis Canada.
    The tournament is named after Robbie Wimbs, who had cystic fibrosis and was the inspiration for holding the first tourney back in 1967 which featured eight teams and raised just over $47. In the decades since, The Robbie has raised almost $2 million for CF Canada."

    This song is the holy grail for karaoke. I tried it once and got very close to spitting out all the words. lol

    okay so that's last bit is a local reference. All the highschools in the Scarborough area (east Toronto) sent their best athletes to compete in track and field events at Birchmount 'stadium' against other schools once a year at the 'round robbie' and it was pretty much a day off school because they organized busses for all the other students to go watch and cheer on their classmates who were competing. I don't know if they still do that, but they did at the time when I was going to school with two of the guys who are in the band who are brothers. The other two were going to other highschools in the area.
