Happy Canada Day!

I had never heard of Robin Sparkles, and after listening to as much of that as I could stand, I could have gone the rest of my life without ever hearing about her.

Thank you, Sue, for starting off my Canada Day with the taste of that in my mouth.

"Two beavers are better than one" - I'll leave that to the lesbians and straight men on the board to decide.

[Big RR]

You forgot Beach Castles in the Sand:

there was also a punk/angst ridden song that ruined her career (PS I love You) but I couldn't find a video (along with her stalking of Alan Thicke).

What??? It's a sweet song about friendship!

And did you even try "Let's Go To The Mall"?????? (Which is AWESOME, by the way.)

I see BigRR is a Robin Sparkles fan, too! This is the song you were looking for:



I think it ruined Alanis Morisette's career as well.

[Big RR]

Well she had tiffany in some of her videos, so what's not to like?

and if I recall correctly, Two Beavers was the theme song of a schlocky Canadian Sci Fi series that had limited play in the US

More! We want more! Brava!

Who sez Leonard Cohen was the last great Canadian lyricist?

"Two beavers" is down in the groove, baby. Smmmmokin' hot licks! And "Let's go to the mall" really captures the joy and angst of being a teenager in the 21st century; that sweet loss of innocence when you make your first credit card purchase and learn that if you make the minimum payments each month you will be debt-free in 28 short years. Clearly a riff on Kafka's "metamorphosis"; transformation and change. You can see her evocation of hexapodality in the hand-waving.

BTW Sue, thanks for the link.

[Lord Jim]

I was not familiar with her, but I thought "The Mall" one was pretty funny...

Her imitation air-head style reminds me of Julie Brown...

OMG where have you guys been the last 10 years?

I could never forgive her for what she did to Tommy James. He didn't deserve that.

[Big RR]

Yup, can't argue with that. But she thought they were alone. And at least it wasn't Crystal Blue Persuasion or Sweet Cherry Wine Indeed, it's not as bad as what Juice Newton did to Merilee rush around the same time.

I think you mean the documentary, How I Met Your Mother.

[Big RR]

A rather long documentary that lasted for 6 seasons (I think) and was threatened with cancellation pretty much each season.

Not that one, at any rate.

[Big RR]

And after it referred to Canada so fondly.

And after it referred to Canada so fondly.

I loved that it periodically featured a Canadian ex-pat bar in NYC (called the "Hoser Hut").

Tied 1-1 bottom of the 8th - hope Cleveland can ruin C A N A D A D A Y - why because we gotta beat the Torontos!!!
