And that video isn't available in Canada either. Seems like there's some legal things with Anthem going on.

I was discussing this song with someone over the holidays (Steve, maybe?). This album was a Canadian sensation when it was released. SCTV was one of the hottest things going.

Oh no! I'm sorry about that. Does this one work? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8Jm4LoOaAWI&ab_channel=kr580

I think it maybe was me. I’ve always loved this song, and I had the great pleasure of getting to see Strange Brew at a midnight screening in Victoria British Columbia with a packed crowd of Canadians!

I have still never seen Strange Brew. It struck me as too much dumb physical comedy, which isn't my thing.

The song was a big hit on rock radio stations in the U.S. too. SCTV was also really popular here. Funny stuff!

If memory serves, this song was my introduction to Bob and Doug. Many years later, I was happy to see that my kids enjoyed their humor as much as I did. Take off, eh!

Some comedy truly is timeless :D they have the same vibe as Waldorf and Statler, but maybe nicer - and I love Geddy's deadpan delivery!
