Happy Canada Day everybody. What is your favorite Canadian music?

You guys sot me watching Jeff Healey vids all night...........I stumbled on this one, his first TV appearance ever, playing with SRV and impressing the hell out of him.  The dude was a force of nature on that guitar.

This is quite catchy.

Canadian, Please

Song & video produced by Julia Bentley & Andrew Gunadie

Yeah I know that you wanna be Canadian, please
Even if in winter things tend to freeze
We've got the world monopoly on trees
And our country's bordered by three different seas

Yeah I know that you wanna be Canadian, please
We invented the zipper, we've got expertise
We made insulin to combat disease
Yeah I know that you wanna be Canadian, please

   Brits have got the monarchy
   The US has the money
   But I know that you wanna be Canadian

   The French have got the wine and cheese
   Koalas chill with the Aussies
   But I know that you wanna be Canadian

Et si ce n'était pas assez
On a deux langues officielles:
L'anglais et le français
Ooh la la

Yeah I know that you wanna be Canadian, please
Where else do you find mounted police
Or go to the hospital and not pay fees
Yeah I know that you wanna be Canadian, please

And when freshwater is in high demand
We've got the world's largest supply on hand
So you know that we could make a pretty good friend
But it's even better if you can be...

   Brits have got the monarchy
   The US has the money
   But I know that you wanna be Canadian

   The French have got the wine and cheese
   Koalas chill with the Aussies
   But I know that you wanna be Canadian

So you're thinking to yourself,
"How do I live in this beautiful country?"
Well we've got some steps for you to follow...

STEP 1: Lose the gun
STEP 2: Buy a canoe
STEP 3: Live multiculturally
STEP 4: You're ready, there is no more!

We got beavers, caribou and moose
We got buffalos, bears, and Canadian goose
And we're sorry about Celine Dion
But she did do that good song for James Cameron...

   Brits have got the monarchy
   The US has the money
   But I know that you wanna be Canadian

   The French have got the wine and cheese
   Koalas chill with the Aussies
   But I know that you wanna be Canadian

   The Greeks all chilled with Socrates
   Can't build a wall like the Chinese
   But I know that you wanna be Canadian

   In Kenya they have safaris
   We've missed lots of other countries
   But I know that you wanna be Canadian
