<br>I seem to recall reading somewhere that a Canadian citizen could only be held responsible for illegal music sharing if the artist(s) in question were also Canadian. Something to do with CAPAC I think.

Nope, that is not the case. They are not allowed to share music at all. They can only download it.

As requested:

<a href="http://www.cyberus.ca/~cs/Toronto - Your daddy don't know.mp3">Toronto - Your daddy don't know</a>

Hmmm, of all of the bands that could have been requested/looked for on this forum I would never have guessed Toronto...

Speaking of Canadian Music, does anybody have DoubleDare's "Date with the Past" on mp3? It's been almost 20 years since I heard that song.

If anyone needs any kind of other Canadian stuff - I'll do my best to help out.

Hi Pokey_Jones,

unfortunately I can't help you with your requested track, but since you offered it, I'm interested in any rare stuff from Canadian bands like Honeymoon Suite, Idle Eyes, Glass Tiger or similar sounding ones that may have never found their way across the ocean...

Best wishes from Germany.

If you are looking for any more rare 80's Canadian hits, look no further. I got lots of long lost Canadian hits [:)]

whistledog,

This may belong under the "help me id this" board but...

I'm trying to recall a song - I don't know the band or the song name - from the latter part of the 80's.

The band is definitely Canadian. The song was written as a sort of tribute to Jim Morrison. It is kind of jangly with a little trumpet thrown in and the sound of a cracking whip.

It was issued as a 7" single on purple vinyl. There was a video on Much Music. Not much to go on, ring any bells?

Thanks a million whistledog! You are the best! That is the song I have been looking for (I had a cassette tape called Big Hits and God only knows where it went). I haven't quite figured out how to post songs yet but this is my list of the top Canadian One-Hit Wonders not in any particular order:

Tenants - Sheriff
Doubledare - Date with the past
John James - I wanna know
Pukka Orchestra - Listen to the radio
One to One - There was a time
Boulevard - Never give up
Arrows - Talk talk
Tu - Stay with me
Idle Eyes - Tokyo rose
FM - Just like you
Animotion - Obsession
Haywire - Dance desire
Cats can fly - Flippin' to the A side
Eye Eye - Out on a limb
Eight Seconds - Kiss you when it's dangerous
Boys Brigade - Passion of love
Chalk Circle - April fool
Partland Brothers - Soul city
Frozen Ghost - Should I see
Saga - On the loose

The Arrows, Animotion, One to One, Saga, and Haywire had a couple more hit songs but I'm still putting them on this list. There's probably a ton more I'm leaving out but not a bad list to start.

Hey there!

Once I figure out how to post songs - I will help you out. For now you might wanna try getting "Limewire" and downloading whatever you want. I found a lot of rare songs that way.

Blvd, Frozen Ghost, Chalk Circle and Idle Eyes also had other hits. Blvd's biggest hit was called "Far From Over" [:)]

If there is any Streetheart in particular that you were looking for other than Under My Thumb, I probably have more of it than any sane person should own up to.

I have all their albums and a couple of cds as well. Tried to get the wife into them, but not growing up in Canada, she thinks it's "ok I guess".

<br>I've always enjoyed Pukka Orchestra's version of Listen To The Radio over Tom Robinson's original (I'm 99% sure I have a copy if anyone is interested). The whole Pukka Orchestra CD is pretty good.
I think I have a 256 kbps version of Rough Trade - All Touch if Terim's generous posting does not satisfy your needs.

I got chills when I heard the Rough Trade cut! Unfortunately, as much as I love my Mac, when I upgraded to Quicktime 7, they removed the downloadability (is that even a word?) unless you upgrade to Quicktime Pro (at a$30 cost)
Any chance you could either "yousendit" your version of email me?
Happy New Year to you and everyone here!
