I realise this amounts to little more than an echo...but as a classic rock sort of guy I have always appreciated our neighbors to the north...thier contribution to that particular genre can not be overstated....Canada Rocks!


Like Platinum Blonde? ;-) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=I4SOnBDe7qs This was actually my favourite song when I was 12. It's still pretty good!

I think you mean more like Lover Boy, right? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7E82ozXyNjk

Or some Helix? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=U_oBjinZQ7k

Oh gosh... I just got such a giggle ;-)

On behalf of all Canadian, DomImus, I apologize.

But in all fairness, she made her first big break when she sang in front of 65 000 people during the papal visit to Montreal in 1984 and so this is another thing I will blame the catholic religion for!

That and it was the Americans who made her famous. She didn't get famous in Canada first like most other artists.

Hades, if you look at my collection these days, I am still listening to heavy metal...

Till this day, I can count on both hands the bands that I can stomach. French bands from France, well that is another story. I was very grateful for Les Rita Mitsouko and Indochine.

Status: offline 		Here's a song that my French teacher used to play for us but she told us it was Canadian. I don't remember the name of it, but I wish I did.
It went something like this:
Chus en amour
Avec une fille
Qui ses noyee entre deux iles

That's all I can remember, but if someone recognized it and knew what it was, that would be awesome!

Lyrics are below:

Beau Dommage Beau Dommage
UN INCIDENT À BOIS-DES-FILLION AN INCIDENT AT-THE-WOOD FILLION


Chus en amour avec une fille qui s'est noyée entre deux îles Chus in love with a girl who drowned between two islands
Elle s'est perdue entre deux eaux avec des algues autour des chevilles It was lost under water with seaweed around the ankle
La tête en l'air comme un roseau elle est tranquillement disparue The head in the air like a reed is quietly disappeared
Elle était là, elle n'y est plus il est neuf heures plage idéale It was there, she is gone it is nine hours ideal range
À vingt minutes de Montréal et les recherches continuent Twenty minutes from Montreal and research continues

Chus pas sensé parler comme ça on fait pas de rimes quand la personne qu'on aime se noie
Je sais pas quoi faire de mes dix doigts j'ai le goût de fesser à grand coups de poings
Dans l'eau tranquille de la rivière des Milles-îles je veux pas être là quand leurs maudits grappins

Je t'attendais près des rapides en de sous du pont près des piliers
Fais attention aux roches humides fais attention si t'es nu-pieds
Fais attention aux roches humides fais attention si t'es nu-pieds
Chus en amour avec une île avec une vague qui vient de mourir
Et les enfants au bord de l'eau vont l'enterrer sans un sourire
Avec leurs pelles et pis leurs seaux je le sais maintenant l'amour la mort
Ça prend son pli sur le même support ça prend son temps ça dure longtemps
Ça prend ton âme et pas ton corps toi tu reste là les bras pendants

Ils avaient fait des prévisions cinquante noyades pour la baignade de fin de saison
Cinquante noyés pour le congé grâce à ma blonde ils ont gagné
Demain matin ils vont montrer au bas d'une page sa photo et la plage

Je t'attendais près des rapides en de sous du pont près des piliers
Autour de moi j'ai senti le vide en dix secondes j'étais noyée
Autour de moi j'ai la rivière et mes poumons l'ont respirés
On coule ensemble vers la mer essayez pas de nous arrêter
L'eau c'est la vie disait ma mère quand je voulais pas aller me baigner
Me voilà devenue l'eau d'une rivière on finit tous par se mouiller

Chus resté tout seul sur la plage la tête en l'air vers les nuages
L'orage s'en vient y va mouiller les gens sont tous partis se cacher
On a pas eu un bel été
Chus en amour avec une fille chus pas sensé parler comme ça
Qui s'est perdue entre deux îles je sais pus quoi faire de mes dix doigts
Je t'attendrai près des rapides en de sous du pont près des piliers
Fais attention aux roches humides fais attention si t'es nu-pieds
Fais attention aux roches humides fais attention si t'es nu-pieds
Je t'attendrai plage idéale un soir d'été quand y fera chaud
On bâtira des châteaux de sable toi sur la plage et moi dans l'eau
On bâtira des châteaux de sable toi sur la plage et moi dans l'eau

Status: offline 		sadly I also tried searching for a video for that song and seems that there isn't one, even tried u-tube with no success other then videos with that use a few songs as the soundtrack. I did see a few videos of the group singing other songs.
