3 Dressed Up As A 9 by Trooper (studio version with lyrics)

[@simbamenew]

TROOPER CAME FOR A FREE CONCERT IN MY HOME TOWN. THANKS ..YOUR THE BEST.

[@MrRedlacc]

TROOPER! Canadian rock at its best!!

[@chestuk68]

One of my favourite bands! Totally the background music of my youth and coming of age :) Picture it: darkened elementary school gymnasium.....boys by one wall, girls at the opposite.....staff and chaperones waiting by.....my Uncle Stan (who was only 16 himself) and his bandmates at another end of the gym covering this song! At my 7th grade (for 7th and 8th graders only....woooo!!) ......Moose Factory, Ontario!!

[@daydreamer6030]

my favorite trooper song wooooooo

[@kimmilil]

grade 5 for me lol still one of my favourite bands. my kids now listen

[@FOHaratwip]

also, there was a hit movie entitled “10” and no one doubted what that meant - it was starring Bo Derek (wife of John Derek who produced Shania Twain’s first videos) Dudley Moore and Julie Andrews. It also popularized cornrows for all races - very hip at the time to be, for example, a redhead or a blonde, and have your hair cornrowed and beaded. ha ha - what a time....

[@b.j.banditt2046]

Interesting; IDK that.

[@darrenroberts8781]

awesome!!!

[@daleval2182]

Just the right ammount of cowbell

[@moogahnah]

[@misterprickly]

It was either that or "Tree dressed up as a pine"

[@LaughingCedar]

they shouldn't criticize they were 1's dressed up as 3's lol nice pic

[@ianjohnson171]

@halburd1 awesome thanks for watching!

[@tommerwhite]

A tree dressed up as a pine, a pawn dressed up as a knight

[@ianjohnson171]

Free concert? Nice!

[@misterprickly]

I used to think it was "Queen dressed up as a Knight" LOL!

[@ianjohnson171]

no problem thanks for watching!

[@halburd1]

@ianjohnson171 1 of my favorite songs

[@davidevans6618]

The trudope anthem.

[@hhiippiittyy]

Listening to this song makes your mustache grow.

[@ianjohnson171]

lol exactly thanks man

[@ianjohnson171]

lol no problem man, glad you liked it.

[@Sloppify]

I remember this guy who thought that the Deep Purple lyric "smoke on the water, fire in the sky" was "slow motion Walter, fire engine guy".

[@powertriofan3]

Actually I think they are doing smaller arenas... they do have a Facebook page and they did run a 12 days of Trooper Contest on there. :)

[@ianjohnson171]

Yeah I couldn't find it either that's why I posted it :)

[@ianjohnson171]

no problem!

[@D7NEWTON7]

yes finally i found it on youtube

[@traceypolito5103]

Trooper Is Still Playing But Now They Play In The Bars Kind Of Went The Other Way Witch I Dont Understand Trooper Was A Really Good Band !

[@D7NEWTON7]

hah thats awesome

[@brendaleake]

I only discovered this band a few days ago from a radio station survey website! I grew up 100 miles from Chicago and listened to Chicago radio rock station but I don't remember Trooper at all. Were they popular in the US or just in Canada?

[@ianjohnson171]

They had a following in the states but were definitely bigger in Canada. We love our home grown rock up here (Trooper, Rush, Triumph, Saga, The Tragically Hip, Tom Cochrane, Bryan Adams and so on)

[@madbuddha2077]

fuck yeah

[@sergethibault8502]

quel est le nom du chanteur what is the name of the singer

[@westernnewyorkcynthia8318]

💋🌹💋

[@MrThrasha666]

TONIGHT!

[@halburd1]

@ianjohnson171 put it in my song play list :)

[@jarettschannel]

you from winnipeg?

[@mr303094]

glomerol, dont overthink it, its just a cool fickin song meant to entertain

[@ghostfaceslasha3730]

i was litel when i firt herd this song

[@jondeaux336]

Goddamn... Grade 7, 1978...

[@roxannescarlett3836]

2024 🎉

[@marilyncharlton129]

9 being divinity. Not to hard to figure out

[@thewolfdancers]

this band is playing in my really small town tonight... doesnt make sense since their so good... should be alot harder to see them

[@theSoftScenter]

And, btw, have you taken a good look at these guys?

[@tooez90]

hey.....I dated a three dressed up as a nine

[@relyks286]

+tooez90 me too brother, I didn't figure it out until all the clothes came off lmao

[@DoomMomDot]

this song was played at a dance at my junior high, and I told some girl "they're paying your song'. dam, I was a jerk . . .

[@LocoCanada]

You can suit yourself baby but you don't suit me

[@lovepeace7008]

❤

[@09Libertarian]

I kind of disagree Brent. While Trooper are certainly iconic within Canada, they're practically unheard of outside of it where as Gordon and Joni are renowned internationally

[@jfk19780]

sweet fucking tune ....makes me proud im canadian

[@TiborRoussou]

Canadian awesomeness! Too bad there are so many "3's dressed up as 9's". It reminds me of "it doesn't matter how good looking she is, there is some dude that is sick of her..." :P

[@jazzy19001]

But an awesome song anyways! lol!

[@EletricKat]

Hey wait a minute...

[@samsteel2643]

Where are the lyrics as stated

[@ianjohnson171]

In the description.

[@FOHaratwip]

They’re working all the time...just played Victoria

[@briansutton8160]

hey wait a minuite i just bought a strat. hmmmm.,

[@seasonings2taste115]

Every woman on POF hahahahaha

[@forgivenesslovetruthholysp7062]

Hahahahahaha

[@Loveismygift]

ahahahahhahahahahahah

[@DinoDiLabio]

I Used Too Work With An 23 Year Old Girl Who Is Still Is Three Dressed Up As An Nine That Is How In mature She Was...

[@jazzy19001]

Seriously dude? It used to be common to rate women's beauty on a scale of 1 - 10 with 1 being very unattractive to 10 being the most attractive. A 3 is someone who is not very attractive - but wears lots of makeup and revealing clothes to make them seem like they are better looking that they really are - which you don't find out until the morning after the one night stand - when you see the women in the stark light of day as opposed to a alcohol/drug induced club lighted daze... not pc anymore

[@ianjohnson171]

haha not quite

[@hotmusic1967]

i wonder what happen to these guys ?

[@billyb555555]

And Justin Beiber will also be remembered for his best performances when the time is right, you dont get that popular by being a wanna be, at least not if you are Canadian....

[@454ssdonna]

this is what I thought of my boyfriends when they fell out of favour with me!

[@ultrastark1]

TROOPER is real music ...not bieber and the rest of the disposable music dat is out there

[@b.j.banditt2046]

SPOT-ON!!!!! Justin(e) B(l)ieber can suck his own fuckin' clock as far as I'm concerned.

[@Krysten55]

I thought this was Chicago?

[@ianjohnson171]

Krysten55 nope it's definitely Trooper

[@Krysten55]

I've only heard this song a few times. That's why I got confused!

[@ianjohnson171]

no problem!
