Corey Hart - Sunglasses at Night
In a decade ruled by Coreys, this was my favourite of all the Corey songs.

26 years after it's initial release, it still sounds great.

K'naan - Wavin' Flag
I didn't like this song for the longest time, and then I heard my son singing it. I then spun it again with an open mind, and suddenly I liked it.

This isn't the first time I disliked a slice of Cancon until it grew on me. The same thing happened with Bedouin Soundclash.

Neil Young - Heart of Gold

Neil Young - Heart of Gold
CTV is playing their Olympic anthem ad nauseum. It's called "I Believe" and it's sung by Nikki Yanofsky and CTV likes to set montages to it every time a Canadian reaches the podium. Essentially, CTV takes these inspiring, amazing Canadian moments of triumph and tarnishes them by tying them to this awful tune.

When a Canadian wins gold at these Olympic games, I'd much rather hear Neil Young's "Heart of Gold". CTV, this one's for you.

Cinderella - Bad Seamstress Blues (Fallin' Apart At The Seams)

Cinderella - Bad Seamstress Blues (Fallin' Apart At The Seams)
While I'm stuck in the late 80s, I thought I'd share a tune I loved back in 1988.

This song was the opening track from Long Cold Winter, Cinderella's second album. "Gypsy Road" was the bigger hit, but this was my favourite. It's got a great bluesy feel for a glam metal band.

Alice Cooper - Is It My Body
I once listed my favourite Greatest Hits collections. Alice Cooper's Greatest Hits was an easy choice.

In the late 80s and very early 90s I would hang at Joe's where his brother Frank would show off their stereo that actually went to 11. They cranked a lot of Ozzy and Van Halen and Alice Cooper's Greatest Hits. The Ozzy was alright and the Van Halen was okay, but the Alice Cooper struck a chord. I still love this album.

Joe is considering a run for city council. I think he'd be great. Go for it, Joe!

DJ Lobsterdust mashed up Nirvana's "Smells Like Teen Spirit" and Lady Gaga's "Poker Face". It works for me.

Sung with Little John and the Rinky Dinks, Toronto Maple Leafs goaltender Johnny Bower's "Honky the Christmas Goose" was released in 1965 and enjoyed a significant amount of airplay, making it to number 29 on our Canadian music charts.

This is #2 of the Holiday three-pack. The final holiday MP3, and the greatest Christmas song of them all, is up next.

It's hard to believe this parody of The Cult's "Love Removal Machine" is over twenty years old.

I'm sharing this old CFNY nugget as part of a Holiday three-pack. Two more MP3s are on the way...
