How about Cabbage Head?

[@johnthomsen8802]

They found an drum... and Indian drum...

[@jaygee6823]

CrrrrrUSHHHH!

[@dougdavenport4778]

I love this tune, and so do all the Daves I know

[@harveywallbanger6258]

30 Helens agree.

[@AAV29]

And So Do 40 Moody Pandas

[@risenfromyoutubesashesagai6302]

The joo, the Italian, and the Red Head Gei all agree!!

[@warpedbeyondhelp]

Me too!

[@reboot_2.00]

Even a lot of Dave's you don't know.

[@ddbauer]

That guitar tone is just perfect

[@thetruthexperiment]

Yeah. Two cranked blackface twins? Forget about it.

[@dangibson4517]

Dallas Good on bass, miss this dude so much 😢

[@age_of_reason]

I ascertain that this is a great song.

[@uschurch]

Could you delineate your reasons please?

[@ChrissyOneMusic]

There's sadness in that chord structure.

[@BothEyesShut]

I concur.

[@opaljk4835]

Hand me that thing

[@NILBOG13]

No its not Sanchez!!

[@randyjones529]

They guy on the far left is Dallas Good, who died in February 2022. Was also in the great band The Sadies. You can hear the same guitar as in SMOASP.

[@jthunders]

How did he die?

[@thereturners7564]

​@@jthunders I don't know, but I'm sure that no matter how he actually died, the government probably marked it down as "Covid" regardless.

[@j.rothchild173]

A special song in a special time in my life, thanks Kids in the hall........

[@danhatcher7455]

What a rip off of this kzbin.info/www/bejne/rZfPgpJmm9Cepck Good enough to be heard twice though.

[@thehigherdrake]

@@danhatcher7455 Having an Average Weekend sounds better tho

[@danhatcher7455]

@@thehigherdrake Probably right, The mix on that album was notoriously muddy and it is heroin induced punk influenced looseness slightly dated. So probably is slightly more of it's time. Both great songs though.

[@brentpurt]

This is so incredibly Canadian

[@mahatmarandy5977]

brentpurt how so? Apart from the maple leaf?

[@dashcroft1892]

Theme song from a CBC show, played by the Toronto band that penned it, at a Canadian Legion hall, somewhere in Ontario. Only thing missing is empty beer bottles and a PA announcement on who won the meat draw. Call it a feeling.

[@yvc9]

@@dashcroft1892 lol. Spot on

[@coimbralaw]

How so?

[@coimbralaw]

@@dashcroft1892 huh? A CBC show? Cmon. You’ve never heard of Kids In the Hall? Name the actual show!

[@ryanmasterman4717]

I don't know why but this almost makes me happy cry EVERYTIME i hear it, just such a beautiful tune.

[@knownothing3999]

It's average

[@deborahharrison935]

Well said. Brings back my teenage years (K.I.T.H. appointment tv) in the best possible nostalgic way!!!

[@CreekyGuy]

You just like surf music. So does everyone who knows anything. Little known fact: Jimi Hendrix produced a surf music album that wasn't released until long after his death. It's very hard to find, and I have only seen it on cassette tape. It was truly, embarrassingly terrible. That just shows how hard it is to do good surf tunes.

[@redacted2275]

It has that Hank Marvin/The Shadows signature guitar sound that's practically a musical genre on its own, it influenced all UK guitarists from the 60s, it started an entire generation of instrumental rock bands in Japan (together with The Ventures). If you listen to The Shadows' "Apache", "Theme for Young Lovers", "Wonderful Land" you can understand why the band have always said they weren't a surf music band. There's more behind their sound and arrangements.

[@redacted2275]

@@CreekyGuy This song has more of Hank Marvin's influence than The Ventures or the average surf music band... it has that lush arrangement that makes you feel in the middle of an apocalyptic Western.

[@harveywallbanger6258]

I am just going to have to watch a KITH episode before heading to bed tonight.

[@jennifermiceli5608]

We used to go to the Live tapings of Kids in the Hall at the CBC. Such great memories with the Kids and the band playing

[@harveywallbanger6258]

I am so jealous of you.

[@dougcurtis2683]

That song is so transporting. Came at such a pivotal time in my life, so many memories.... thanks for posting this!

[@DougsterCanada1]

Hopefully all good ones, if not, at least bittersweet.

[@emedemarcela]

Same….early 90’s, me as a chilean teenager watching the kids in the hall on HBO 🥲

[@KornnerStudios]

Kids in the Hall are coming back, on Amazon Prime! Hopefully they still use this for the theme

[@WarReport.]

will introduce a whole new generation to a great tune. Super nostalgic

[@kingdomremnant5357]

They did💪🏼

[@JanetLangdon]

@@kingdomremnant5357 Was screaming happiness when I heard it on episode 1!!!

[@jimsjeep91]

It's awesome, hear that theme song again, takes me way back!

[@CreekyGuy]

The theme song is as good as ever, but the show is just too gay for me. I saw Season 1 Ep. 1 and won't put in any spoilers, but if you're even vaguely interested in women, you're out of luck. If the rest of the season is like Ep.1, I am very sad. Dave Foley has always been a favorite (especially, in 'Blast From the Past'), but I have no interest in gay culture immersion. Too bad.

[@michaelorourke7032]

Excellent song. The theme song from my youth in the 90's.

[@BrianAchterberg928]

I love playing this song on my stepdad’s 1957 Guild Hollow Body Electric!!!

[@EightPieceBox]

This and the Ren & Stimpy theme are two rockabilly classics of early 90s television.

[@kateo2485]

It is criminal that there aren’t more live Shadowy Men shows on this platform. I saw them a half dozen times and they were always outstanding. Thanks for the upload.

[@eternalme1016]

WOW, Such an ICONIC SONG!!! The first time I heard them in the 90s from The Kid's in the Hall, I had to try Playing this song. What a COOL SOUND They have, Really Unique. Any Guitar Player out there would DIG This Song......What a GREAT BAND! 🎸💚

[@razor6552]

Magically transports me back to the 90s

[@Pwj579]

The sound is a Little Rock-a-Billy, a little surfer rock, but very original…..one of the main reasons I would watch Kids-in-the-Hall

[@razor6552]

I went to lots of rockabilly nights in the nineties

[@MrKruger88]

Damn, these guys are great live. Pretty rare to hear bands that dont alter the sound of their album to the point that it cant be recreated.

[@timmi59]

I’ve always loved this old song. There’s a lot of emotion in it. It should always be played LOUD. 🎸 🥁 🎤 🤘

[@Qwentar]

It's 32, it's not old. (Trying a Monty Python reference.)

[@AAV29]

Loud isn't Loud Enough

[@lediashields9611]

Love this song makes me feel I'm at a friends garage band up close personal and oh so cool

[@g.p.d.2220]

Probably filmed at Legion Number 1 in Calgary!

[@CrStrifey]

Well I was dowwwn, drinkin' at the leeeheeegion

[@leopoldglasspool4261]

I wonder how many great Canadian bands got their start at the Legion? So awesome!

[@reboot_2.00]

I play this over and over several times a year and never, ever tire of it!

[@amadaffej]

This was great! I also love how it was filmed in black and white and then the camera pans over to the audience. Feels reminiscent of the segways on the original Kids in the Hall. Check out one of their other songs, "They don't call them Chihuahas anymore"

[@timmythebeaseman]

Shadowy Men going hard as I imagined in my mind- Thanks for posting!

[@stevee.7419]

My FAVORITE band of all time! That twangy, reverby, melodic sound of these boys from da North make feel SO GOOD! Thank you so much!!!

[@peterschancel7223]

Went to school with the two guitar players , Ran the High School Radio Station and the first band was Raw Sewage . Reed Diamond you are missed . He dragged me to me to KISS in 1975 at a 1500 seat hockey rink in Calgary Front festival he flicked a smoke at the guitarist. 2 songs later Ace stomped his fingers when his hand was on the stage with the classic Kiss Boots.

[@Crazyfeline]

One of the best theme songs ever

[@jima4656]

The first time I heard this song, it was at an upstairs bar on the south side of Queen St. West In TO. (Ultrasound?) Their hair was a little darker, but the sound was the same. The show rocked. I can't remember the name of the cute skinny blond that brought me there to see them. I think that they knew her. It was a looong time ago. (1988? 89?) Great show.

[@electricbody8080]

I love Dave Foley

[@SupersonicTartanDeathMachine1]

Loved these guys... they should have made it...

[@Dogfire13]

- - "Kids in the Hall" - Just another excuse to hear the theme song... Three dudes with talent... ummm last time I heard that strong of TALENT, was a little 3 piece band called ZZ-Top... I play this song on KZbin when I need a boost before the day... Awesome talent guys, if you read this... Regards, Bob

[@SaintMartins]

30 Helen's agree.....this is a great song !

[@jaygrannell858]

How many Daves do you know?

[@dave_go]

One of the Dave's I know delivers my paper on time, and he also weighs almost 50 lbs!

[@rono108]

So many great aspects of this band. Thanks to the Royal Canadian Legion for the venue. Well done all !

[@rachelebbens5551]

Perhaps one of the coolest bands of all time. To this day, I hear them and get goosebumps and just feel so fucking giddy! Thank you Shadowy Canadians!!! I love you guys! RIP it up Reid!!! -Steve Ebbernero

[@nigelgeiger6020]

Y’all had me dancing my ass of over here in my house and now I’m going to pick up my guitar and learn this song. Like most of the people here I heard this song first via kids in the hall (when I was a kid) and always loved it.

[@Indio1706]

The Kids in the hall!!!!

[@josejones7025]

They rocked a PACKED tiny bar in San Diego last night. I finally got to see them live!! It was a special night.

[@Qwentar]

Did they have a wah-wah pedal?

[@Poochpatrol]

It’s cool the person who recorded this did it in black and white.

[@steveandrushko75]

Love playing this song when you watch this it looks almost chaotic the way he plays but really awesome

[@robocelot]

Just realized it's Dallas Good on bass. RIP Good Sir, you are hugely missed...

[@chrisphillips2467]

I never realised until now that the "jet engine sound effect" I've known for 25 years is actually the ride cymbal being given a pasting.

[@eternalme1016]

What a KILLER SONG!!! SUPER TIGHT BAND WITH A ROCK-A BILLY Type of Sound. When I Heard this Song Year's Ago of Course Via The Kids in the Hall ( Which I Own the Complete Box Set), I just had to know who Played this. Being a Guitar Player, I had to Learn how to Play it, Such a GREAT TUNE. Anyways Thank you so much for posting this GEM of a Video..........Im just a man from Long Island N.Y.
