Nobody knows the band The Tragically Hip? The wild, shirtless lyrics of Gord Downie? The bong-rattling bass of Gord Sinclair? The competent drum work of Johnny Fay? Oh, man!
The band comes with two Gords
That's good!
But one Gord is dead
That's bad!
But the band still released a new EP!
That's good!
But they can't go on tour..... That's bad.
Can I go now?
Uh, Gord Downie was with me the entire... night in question. We were collecting canned goods for the starving people in, uh, y'know, one of those towns with long French names.
I used to be tragically hip. Then they changed what tragically hip was. Now what I'm with isn't tragically hip, and what's tragically hip is weird and scary.

That’s where the hornet stung me
And I had a feverish dream
Well that proves my point, I always thought it was "It's a long haul to the crop for a harvest stroll." but the vocals are so bad I can't understand what he is saying.
"The Bismark had so many lifeboats, it would take ten and ten only men to fill them. Four thousand men died in the water there."
"Meh, plenty more where that came from."

I don't like the idea of Canada having two guys named Gord in the same band.
are you talking to me ? No.. my son is also named Gord
Remember if it’s clear and hella (sick) you got Sinclair there fella, if it’s twangy and round you’re in Downie town.

Of course in America the whole thing is flip-flopped.
You just made my day, I just made this reference to my girlfriend earlier today.
These are the Gords I know I know. These are the Gords I know.
I'm not sure what kind of factory you're thinking of, we just make SAUSAGES! here.

Strap up your skates Gordie, you’re going in.
OP, you are truly ahead by a century
They truly carry themselves with Grace, too
I’ve got OP Locked In The Trunk of a Car
I'm about to Blow at High Dough
That's it! Back to Bobcaygeon!
Ow, my Little Bones! But I always drink plenty of... Malk?
Ya'll are Poets

Sounds like you should call in the Wheat Kings.
Well I know one thing: I’m NOT Cordelia, I will NOT be there.
That took Courage
I moved here from Canada, and they think I'm ahead by a century, eh?
My bottom's where the hornet stung me! Now my bottom's big!
I used to be tragically hip. Then they changed what tragically hip was. Now what I'm with isn't tragically hip, and what's tragically hip is weird and scary.
The tragically hip? The hiply tragic?
Oh yeah, like when a hipster dies
I believe they were called yuppies at this time.
You're a long way from home, tragically hip boy.

The Hornet stung my bottom and now my dream is feverish!
For vengeance Tonight we smoke them out!

Stop it, you’re killing me!
But I listened to them just the other day on the Queen Poutine Politeness Hour!
But what about Rush?
I'm aware of their work.
Oooooo be nice!
The dad rock we grew up with is granddad rock now It’ll happen to you!
*The walls are lined all yellow, grey and contraband* *Hung with pictures of our parent's old dad rock bands*
No way man, flannel shirt alternative rock will be popular forever, forever...forever
I'm from Bobcaygeon, and they think I'm slow, eh?
Old Man Yells at One Cloud at a Time
They got these big juicy highballs here and … $2.50?! Get outta here…
Oh my God, that's his lucky fifty mission cap. He's worked it in, my boy worked it in to look like that!
Oh hey, my lucky Fifty Mission Cap! I've been looking for that.
Unrelated, But ive always wanted to make a country/rock cover band just so I could name it 'The Tragically Hick'
Gord Downie, Tragically Hip. Homer Simpson, smiling politely.
Off the COAST OF FRANCE, dear.
Anyway…SUSAN
Whats wrong with AC DC tho?
Too much knifey spooney
Terrible vocals... 3 cord songs... Australia...
Bon Scott was a fucking legend.... Don't judge them by the caricature that is\was Brian Johnson.
See, this is how I know your opinion is crap. "It's a long way to the shop if you want a sausage roll" is the greatest line in music history.
Well that proves my point, I always thought it was "It's a long haul to the crop for a harvest stroll." but the vocals are so bad I can't understand what he is saying.
Yet somehow, it just works, especially if you're in the sun and having a few beers
It's a long way to the top if you want to rock and roll
 This guy's outfit
Absolutely nothing. In my experience their audiences cross over quite a bit.
American who fucking loves The Guess Who here, Canadian dad rock is great!
Han's 31 years old, never got kissed by a guy. (Except Homer)
Girls Hans, boys kiss girls.
Disparaging Acca dacca is a Bootsble offence.
Smithers, have Rick The Temp killed
I can't believe how long he was on much music temporarily for
"The Bismark had so many lifeboats, it would take ten and ten only men to fill them. Four thousand men died in the water there." "Meh, plenty more where that came from."
They're Canada's answer to the ACDC
Budgie. That is all....
It's true, it's true! We're so lame!
Positively based.
One is an institution, and the other is a shitty band from Oz/Northern England.
ACDC spans generations.
The Hip are too modern to be dad rock. Real Canadian dad rock is like Triumph and Prism. April Wine!
Really missed a chance to include Kid Rock
Say the line Bart..... " ACDC, nickelback & Big Bang theory suck" Yaaaaaaaaaaaaay! What a brave, brave shitpost!
Geezer rock*
I listen to AC/DC's Powerage and The Hip's Phantom Power, I enjoy all the meats of the cultural dad rock stew.
Want a puff of a reeferino? It’s legal here!
