The Great White North

I believe that the two greatest Canadian songs of all time are "You Scare the Shit Out of Me" and "Boot to the Head (Nah nah)", both by the Frantics.

Extrapolating, the greatest Canadian super-hero must therefore be Mr. Canoehead.

I'm a great fan of Bulbous Bouffant.

(and as for Super Heroes, Flying Father Shapatinski is way cooler than Mr Canoehead.)

Point. I'm a big fan of "The Ballad of Marshall McLuhan", myself.

You know, I've always loved that song, but the idea that you can actually download it from marshallmcluhan.com makes it ten times more awesome.

I think Philippa and Denina is my favourite of their songs.

I'm the Only Gay Eskimo by Corky and the Juice Pigs should be high up on a top 10 list, though...

My vote is for The Last Saskatchewan Pirate, by the Arrogant Worms.

Aren't Barenaked Ladies Canadaites?

I feel old. When I think "great Canadian songs" I think of Gordon Lightfoot and Ian & Sylvia (http://www.canoe.ca/JamMusicPopEncycloPagesI/ian_and_sylvia.html).

Personally, I favor most anything by Shadowy Men on a Shadowy Planet. Like the song 'We're Not a Fucking Surf Band!'

Of course, my mp3 player's web service places them in the category of 'surf rock'...
