Doug and the Slugs - Too Bad (1980) Official

[@Glavin883]

This song is really good for drinking and driving

[@jumpinjohnnyruss]

It's also good for drinking and sitting around in your caravan. Take it from me. Doug, the original incel. I think the lady rolling her eyes at his death was precisely what set us on this path, through Elliot Rodger and beyond.

[@pot-cspalace]

You forgot to mention that "Too Bad" was the theme song for the late, great Norm Macdonald's sitcom "The Norm Show"!

[@dimetronome]

And both Norm Macdonald and Doug and the Slugs are Canadian.

[@terdfergusonIII]

I was delighted Norm used it!

[@BigpapamoneymanMVPtypebeat]

@@dimetronome that’s awesome, never knew they were also Canadian 🇨🇦 bet norm saw them perform in the day

[@andrewkielbasowycz1915]

RIP norm a true legend

[@FatGuyinaLittleWoods]

Such a great show

[@user-vp5bu9xp2i]

This song still make me smile every time I hear it - even all these years later.

[@slappygilmour1984]

Especially all these years later

[@galeparker1067]

​@@slappygilmour1984Almost 2024!!! Still so good!!!!

[@quincee3376]

RIP Doug and RIP Norm MacDonald who used this as his theme song on The Norm Show. Two great Canadians gone too soon.

[@jeffreybarkin3177]

It's REFRESHING to Learn that DOUG & THE SLUGS are Finally STARTING to get NOTICED and/or ACKNOWLEDGED for DOUG BENNETT'S superb Songwriting. SADLY, This did Not happen enough while he was Still Alive and TOURING... SIR BENNETT was SPECTACULAR and is GREATLY MISSED. ❤😢😮🎉😢

[@BabyBoomerChannel]

This was such a fun band - I saw them on Long Island, at My Father's Place in the early 80's - they never got their due.

[@jaysonb.6669]

So many talented bands i seen while trucking through dive bars during those yrs who had the misfortune of living a bit too far north. Still in contact with a few members of another super talented Canadian band "Teaze". You should check them out. How their single "heartless world" didn't catch Canadian or American charts i have no idea. Not enough payola i guess.

[@user-vn2ii6mu9g]

In late 80's before I went completely deaf, my roommate was a guitarist in a hard rock band, had all the metal bands in his DVD collection. And The Bobs .Bologna DVD. Played it, said the band was tight, great melody hooks and funny life observations lyrics. I agree.

[@DonYarosh]

Not Dougs best song but i think its his best video. Very talented and under rated band! Miss these guys.

[@user-vp5bu9xp2i]

OMG! I so remember this song and then when I saw the Norm Show used it as opening. LMAF! To this day makes me have a smile.

[@arthurbarnes547]

This might be the greatest music video I’ve ever seen

[@ReubenKincaidJr]

These guys were great.

[@poopsyko]

Really love this song

[@janeholierhoek9375]

Doug & The Slugs! Oh,man haven't heard them for a long time...Big shout out to Doug & The Slugs and to The Pharmacy Dude Who gave me The Album Today! ❤

[@laurieschroeder7809]

[@billmonaghan313]

This persists among my favorite songs ever

[@user-mh1uj6ww8c]

Fun pop.

[@jeffreybarkin3177]

YES... In our Digital World it's Sure EASIER to expose the TRUTH about people and their respective Organisations... We're capable of discovering, Fortunately, The TRUE Committed Caring Supporters, though, which is TOTALLY AWESOME. Thank You (the Late GR8) DOUG BENNETT , and your Spectacular Band, THE SLUGS for your BRILLIANT Tuneage! You are DEEPLY MISSED!!! ❤❤❤❤❤❤

[@ravenbaa7989]

My mom loved this I love the 45 goodbye

[@jimmyrocket8110]

Love it! "...The .45, GOODBYE! I use with no hesitation! Too bad, too bad too bad.."

[@clamdeity]

Can't tell if the lyrics are about finding out your partner cheated or about committing suicide to avoid getting arresting for money laundering Which makes it more enjoyable, for some reason.

[@jsd8197]

When bands had class.

[@jimmyrocket8110]

Rest in peace Douglas Craig Bennett October 31st, 1951- October 16, 2004. We'll miss your mock suicides!

[@user-vn2ii6mu9g]

Lousy aim, and the cops arrested him for it, ...too bad...

[@jannef3574]

This sounds much better. I subscribed as the 61st. I sent messages to my 2 best friends to subscribe!

[@Itchakabobway]

[@teddymills1]

This song makes no sense. 45 good bye. I use it with no hesitation. A top 10 song from the 80s. Alllllll your money. No more than insulation. That hits me right where I live. lol

[@Nick_ETH]

So interpetable lol

[@Nick_ETH]

Its a happy suicide song lol

[@ClintOehlke-hd4fk]

The dancing girl looks like Belina Carlisle from the GO GOS

[@MikeyMike-uu3fe]

I hope they got a REALLY nice fat cheque from ABC to use this song for THE NORM SHOW

[@billm5527]

Was there an earlier video of this? I remember seeing it on MTV, first time I ever saw MTV, with the waitresses dancing on the diner countertop? Maybe I'm thinking something totally different! Anyone?

[@SteffanoDucati]

Notice a copy of The Province newspaper at 1:05 .... pretty sure this video was shot at the Marble Arch on Richards Street here in Vancouver ...... ask me how I know :)

[@gaganorthofthe49th62]

It was the Cecile Hotel, I was there

[@punkrockgigs]

As a british guy find it funny the cops look like old british beat cops. Love the scottish tam o shanter hat as well. Was there any british connections to the band ?

[@exploringmind7648]

kind of. they were Canadian I think

[@White_Wrath]

The connection was our ancestors fled the toilet of Europe before the Muslims showed up and destroyed everything with their Jew god .

[@cpryde]

I'd love to know the location(s) for this shoot.

[@stevemac213]

it's in the description...the Cecil Hotel, which I believe was in Calgary.

[@tarataylor9227]

Vancouver

[@cpryde]

@@tarataylor9227 yup, down by the Yale - or was before it was torn down. Which is probably okay since it had turned into a total hole by then anyway.

[@Givemeafinname]

Such a Vancouver BC Video..LOL I wander what place of business this was filmed?.

[@themadh8r539]

It was a now long gone downtown pub on hastings

[@gaganorthofthe49th62]

@@themadh8r539 it was the Cecile Hotel

[@comebychance]

For you, you know who, lol

[@acehandler1530]

Really fun, sorry I missed it when I had the chance. Too busy trying to earn a (very hard) living in a steel fab shop 😞
