One of the best Canadian bands who didn't get the recognition they deserved. They played all across Canada and had great shows. The music is witty and entertaining, as was Doug when he was on stage.

[@eeltenaj19]

They played for my dad's retirement party when he left the CPR. My mom loved them and knew all of the lyrics. She was singing along from in front of the stage, and Doug Bennet noticed her enthusiasm and invited her to come up and sing along with them. She was terrified, so my sister and I joined in to sing too! It is a story we reminisced about often. My mom died on Thursday, and we had been listening to Doug and the slugs, the Powder Blues, and Rod Stewart this week. Rest in peace, mom. 🎉

[@marybaillie8907]

Another great Canadian Band eh? 🇨🇦 Doug and the Slugs had trouble being booked at first because of their name. This is the theme song of the Norm Macdonald Show, a great Canadian Comedian recently passed. Just a great tune with an addictive beat. Great reaction Harri. Thanks Harri and Louie. Knew it was gonna be a Louie request. Thanks for promoting Canadiana. Cheers from Canada 🇨🇦

[@debbiechang5781]

I think it’s a great name for a band! I never heard of them before today but just the name made me want to know what they had to offer! Canada has given us many musical geniuses! Greetings Mary!🌺✌️

[@marybaillie8907]

@@debbiechang5781 Hi Debbie. So nice to hear from you. I hope you're well my friend. 🤗🤗👍✌️🎶🇨🇦

[@dougandtheslugsofficial]

Thanks Mary! Here is our official channel with hi res video/audio kzbin.info/door/Kf5iMZr3wELBS_MAoJDHfw

[@jameswolfden]

I used to see Doug and the Slugs on a regular basis at the Commodore in Vancouver. Pogo dancing was popular around that time from the punk scene and when the band would get play this song, the dance floor was just so crowded that the only dance option was just to bounce up and down in one place.

[@DioneN]

And then ‘Safety Dance’ was created🙌🏼

[@macdaddyns]

Was always fond of their song "Day by Day" a really good Canadian Band from the 80's

[@cjpew]

Again, OMG. Thank you for exploring another Canadian gem. Doug Bennett was a treasure, funny nice guy I met a couple of times. The last time I was going to see them the show was cancelled at the last minute, and it wasn't long after that Doug passed. Many many good memories of going to their shows in the late 80s and dancing the night away. Best of times!

[@knarf_on_a_bike]

I saw Doug and the Slugs back in the early 80s at a nightclub in Montreal. Great band, and Doug had a terrific stage presence. Just a hilarious guy; it was a fun show. Thanks for another great reaction!

[@dougandtheslugsofficial]

Sure was! Here is our official channel with hi res video/audio kzbin.info/door/Kf5iMZr3wELBS_MAoJDHfw

[@ELEcomments]

Props for reacting to this song. It's pretty unknown outside of Canada sadly... if you want more Canadian bands that didn't cross over I could recommend lots!

[@jethro1963]

It was the intro for a US network TV show

[@ELEcomments]

@@jethro1963 Oh I know. I never saw much of The Norm Mcdonald Show but I've heard of it. Norm was a legend.

[@keymack2477]

Thank you Louie and Harri! I remember Doug (Bennett) and The Slugs being a huge bar band playing at the Commodore and other clubs here in Vancouver in the late 70's through the early 70's. It took them a long time but they persevered and finally hit it big! Great story, very cool band, and Doug was fantastic live!!

[@lawyeredup]

Great band, great music. They were on my regular playlist in the late 1980s. I saw the band only once, at an official pre-Grey Cup party in Vancouver in 1990. I had flown in earlier that day from Canada's east coast and in spite of the 4-hour time shift, I wasn't leaving until the band played its last set. I was a tired but happy boy.

[@diane-]

Been a while since I heard this great song. 🎹

[@JerryPaulTreeCreations]

🍁🍁🍁 Another fun Canadian band! 🍁🍁🍁 The video is super cheesy, but you're right about it being played near the end of the night in the bars, with everyone loudly (and drunkenly) singing along. Hahahaha I remember, because I was one of them back then! 🤣👍👍👍 This brought back some fun memories. Thanks, Harri!

@@dougandtheslugsofficial Nice!! Thanks!!

[@brentdallyn8459]

I remember New York media outlets declaring a massive outbreak of ' Slug ' mania.

[@neptunesdreams]

Doug was one of the great singer songwriters of all time. Listen to the whole Cognac and Bologna album to hear their whole scope. My personal favorite is "Tropical Rainstorm".

[@AlanSenzaki]

I knew Doug in 1976 working as an art director at the Georgia Straight Magazine. Doug would drop in and help me with paste-up and drop of his weekly cartoon he drew under the name “Craig”. We would just hang out afterwards. Doug was a really great guy and will be missed! R.I.P.

[@jethro1963]

Isn't that where Doug was chummy with later Sir Bob (Geldof)

[@AlanSenzaki]

@@jethro1963 he may have been. Geldoff was there before me in 1975 i think. I never met him but knew of him.

[@jethro1963]

@@AlanSenzaki CBC Gem has a good documentary called "Doug and the Slugs and Me" and I believe they interviewed Sir Bob about his friendship with Doug.

[@wards718]

Louie , keeping Canadian music alive.. Cheers

[@Sp33gan]

Wonderful, Harri! Thank you for reacting to one of my favourites from my hometown! Aside from your positive attitude, I especially love your willingness to explore music that is beyond the international hits. The 1960s, 70s, and into the 80s, were filled with great songs that never made a dent in the charts but are worth listening to as much as the hits of the time. A great local band who mixed a strong sense of fun into some fantastic music, I saw Doug and the Slugs countless times all over Vancouver. While this album, Cognac and Bologna, was released in 1980, the single was first on the airwaves in 1979. The band had a long string of great tracks that are well worth checking out.

[@real_lostinthefogofwar]

Thank you Louie, greatest bar band of all time, I've seen them many times

[@lioneldegrandpre8870]

New Subscriber...From 🍁Canada🍁 First off full disclosure, I just turned 56 and have been a life long follower of "SLUGTOLOGY!" 😆 Doug & the Slugs could pack a room, sometimes big ones some small...We're talking about a band that like the Tragically Hip, both played every room in Canada...A hell of alot of miles across this great nation... Great Rock and Roll, brings to mind a quote from Dr Johnny Fever (Howard Hessman- R.I.P) "SOMETIMES YA JUST GOTTA DANCE!" Two things about their live shows, once the music starts the dance floor is packed! And Doug always came out on stage DRESSED TO KILL!" We're talking style maybe even beyond Robert Palmer, lol... Fantastic presentation Harri, seen all your Canadian content, I think, lol...Triumph? Trooper? Loverboy? Kim Mitchell? Heck you'd even like some old "STOMPIN TOM CONNORS..."❤🇨🇦❤ Take Care

[@ryanruberry6658]

Thanks, a great song and a great band. I’m going to look up Madness.

[@ptrlxc]

lol ... what a surprise .. Doug and the Slugs were big in western Canada, on radio rotation a lot.

[@overthemountain90]

Epitome of Canadian music. Doug was a unique individual.

[@sourisvoleur4854]

Interesting combination of malt shoppe and new wave sounds.

[@debbiechang5781]

These guys are great! What a catchy song. Nice request Louie! Great reaction Harri 🌺✌️

[@teddymills1]

Love this early 80s tune. "Your money, no more than insulation."

[@hlawrencepowell]

Great Canadian band! Lived it.

Thanks @HarriBest Reactions. Here is our official channel with hi res video/audio kzbin.info/door/Kf5iMZr3wELBS_MAoJDHfw

[@jaq4608]

What a blast from WAAAYYYYY back! They had a bunch of fun songs in the 80’s. Making It Work is good one by them too.

[@heidimueller1039]

My favourite Doug and the Slugs is Day by Day. Always loved their lyrics. Maybe a precursor to Bare Naked Ladies?

[@torbenrolfsen604]

great one

[@giuliogrifi7739]

British pub rock.....I know, I know...they're Canadians, but.....!

[@wayne_twentyfive]

Fun song, and excellent reaction, Harri .. Good pick-up on the similarities to ska music and Madness .. I'm a big fan of that genre and groups such as Madness, and yet I failed to make the connection until you pointed it out .. Great stuff !

[@lenbeedle]

Another fun Vancouver band of the 80s

[@dagmar.6954]

This band is from my hometown of Vancouver, British Columbia. Doug & the Slugs are a Canadian pop music group formed in 1977. The song "Too Bad" was the theme song for the 1999-2001 sitcom "The Norm Show" starring Norm Macdonald. The band had some great hits in the 1980's such as "Who Knows How To Make Love Stay", Making It Work", "Tomcat Prowl", "Chinatown Calculation", "Day By Day" etc.

[@Roof_Pizza]

Loads of good, local bands in the day. The Grapes of Wrath, Payola$, 54 :40, Skinny Puppy etc.

[@jackndan6603]

Van Island.😃🇨🇦

[@ValerieBoyco]

Another great band from the Vancouver area in the same era is The Headpins, Turn It Loud is one of their best I think.

[@jackndan6603]

Nice, try Day By Day. This band is from my home town.🇨🇦

[@hardrockinmofo9742]

This is such a great song! It's been years since I heard it. Why can't I get this on cd? ☹️

[@ryanruberry6658]

You should be able to find their greasiest hits album.

[@NathanVeenstra]

I get the Madness reference, I also thought this was pretty ska-infused, but this is more poppy than Madness IMO. Nice track still.

[@susieq9801]

I heard this in the car today. Automatically I realized I had to slow down. Got carried away with the beat.

[@mondogeckosexoticsandoddit5866]

my father was a roadie for this band in the late 70s, he has some great stories about them, but everyone agrees that Doug was a bit of a pr*ck lol.

[@LEWOOF]

1980 Seattle at the Happening in downtown seattle . They wrote a song, Born to be Mild

[@jameswolfden]

Doug and the Slugs would do a lot of covers in their early days with the songs reflecting Doug's sense of humour. I remember a cover of Pretty Woman that they redid as Pretty Man.

[@christiankalk4668]

"Headin' to the library Looking for a good book Drinking Diet Pepsi" 🤣

[@ryanruberry6658]

I heard this cover a few times.

[@wabankik]

...Surprisingly enough how many Hits These Fellas had "Making it Work ", "Who Knows How to make Love Stay", "Love Shines", "Tom Cat Prowl", Videos were Very comedic drama -very Entertaining!!!...

[@cclapew]

I would like to suggest Doug And The Slugs Real Enough

[@jonsant7232]

I had to check this out when I saw the band name 😁 and the song wasn't too bad at all 👍

[@javawsey]

Good choice brotha.

[@leftcoaster67]

Doug Bennett had a solo album. The song "It's got to be Monday". The video is hilarious.

[@brucebeard695]

if you like Doug try Graham Parker and the roumer hotel chambermaid

[@Jessedog11]

Check out- Joe Cocker- "You are so beautiful- live" trust me

[@Roof_Pizza]

To Meeeₑₑₑₑₑₑₑ!!! LOL.
