Stompin' Tom Connors - The Ketchup Song

Live at the Horseshoe Tavern in 1973!

[@GreatGardenGnome]

He was such a story teller. I used to live near him in his last years, his son went to the local high school.

I typed in Canadian folk music, this came up, though I am not sure if it's folk music or an old add I love it, this is so pure bro. love from the U.S

[@Zoey5374]

Oh, probably not really folk music. Stompin' tom has a lot of amazing mucic, if you haven't checked out more of his songs I strongly recommend it. The Hockey Song is one of the best know songs by him, almost everyone I know knows some or most of the lyrics

This song would have no nowhere without a dash of apple cider vinegar or seven.

Leamington Ontario is my hometown born and raised and even worked at Heinz a bunch of years during Tomato season. Heinz closed down and left the town but the plant is still there and another factory is there now that does same stuff heinz did.

[@Kristene.L]

My god this brings back memories. I can hear my dad stompin the floor in the old rec room with the biggest grin. Miss you daddy.

[@jason19twofour]

This is why there are ketchup chips in Canada.

[@gfudge76]

thanks from Bahrain! this is my daughters favorite song....i have been looking for this video for years

[@PnnyPnchr]

It's too bad Heinz closed the Leamington plant 2 years ago and moved the jobs to the U.S.A. There goes some more of Ontario Canada's manufacturing.

[@HistoryNerd1814]

not surprised that he did did it Hamiltons metal industry is going down hill because of USA but they can't take stompin Tom's music from Canada

[@PnnyPnchr]

I understand your partisan sentiments, Gman, however the Harper Conservative government was in power 2 years ago. We can, however, lay blame on the Ontario liberals who have made Ontario an expensive place for companies to do business. I vote for no "party" in particular - they are all crooks.

[@PnnyPnchr]

Held the country together? Harper was a one-trick pony who supported extraction of natural resources (read oil) and ignored the manufacturing sector. Now that oil prices have collapsed our economy is in the crapper. So put on your blinders and support whoever you want, as I said before it doesn't matter who you vote for we're screwed. The dollar was on its way down anyways with the oil collapse. And BTW - I DID vote for the Cons candidate in the last election so I am not Conservative bashing here.

[@pikeman80]

Buy French's now. At least the Leamington farmers have someone talking large numbers of their tomatoes.

[@thewillowtree727]

I was going to say the same thing! But I was going to add how Heinz fired their whole staff just to hire a completely new staff.

[@tomatoketchup885]

Aww I’m flattered 😀

[@dixieboy5689]

Tom is the best at any country song from the land of the Maple Leaf. Just wonderful , all the time. Thanks

[@KnickKnax90s]

Great song. We have a Stompin Tom mural in our town, he wrote a song after our town. Great man!

[@GuntherRommel]

Other than our soldiers Toms the greatest canadian . He is and please some one tell me of a beter canadian . Tom your music is like a map of canada but with feelings of each place . Like a scratch sniff map but with emotion .

[@westernsharpie]

he signed my guitar at the show in chilliwack 2010, so nice of him

[@diskman3001]

How did you get to see him? Cause when I saw his show in Calgary in 2010 he didn't meet with the fans. Please do tell how you got that.

[@diskman3001]

Just curious

[@westernsharpie]

He didn't meet with the fans here either. I gave my guitar to a roadie before the show and he took it back to Tom and he signed it. I have it hanging on my wall at home. Its a real cool signature too, when people come over they always comment on it.

[@kerriclaire4363]

this is the best thing ive ever seen

[@seivaDsugnA]

Don't worry. Most people haven't seen me yet.

[@onemon22]

Thanks for posting.

Leamington hometown, born and raised. I moved away, but returned within days. This is my home, and I'll never leave, this town of tomatoes, and now also pot leaves!

[@RandomNonsense1985]

There was hip hop version of this song by Don’t Talk Dance (Gordon Johnson from Big Sugar, Chris Brown from Bourbon Tabernacle Choir, and Tyler Stewart of Barenaked Ladies).

[@fredparker1734]

STILL,one of the best shows that I've ever seen,back on his comeback tour,back in the late 80's/very early 90's.

[@TheHappynot]

Cant believe he's gone bi...... a true gentleman that loved his fans and country.

[@bigbillmontgomeryjr2346]

[@mikepurdue7472]

Trudeau doesn't want Canada to manufacture anything

[@GideonArnold-xi2ud]

[@Applejax2011]

I just realized this song is a bit cannibalistic..

[@trenthogan4212]

2023 -> So dress em up with French's Ketchup, cuz Ketchup loves potatos.

[@maryweldonweldon5118]

I remember when I was a little girl around seven and eight years old maybe a bit older My grandmother used to have a cassette tape of him at the Horseshoe Tavern in Toronto Stompin Tom Connors really was a true Canadian adult history said that he was kicked out of a lot of towns for what he saying but I don't know I don't really have anything negative to say about him except for nothing really all I have to say it I liked it music the only song that I didn't really like out of all the songs you did with the one of both KD Lang I never like to Katie Lang much one my brother Dwight was living he used to talk to me about old country music and one day without talking about Stompin Tom Connors and KD Lang he told me that Stompin Tom Connors wrote a song about KD Lang I said you know I don't really like Katie Lang and now my brother and I used to argue about that a lot and when he passed away I reminded him before I let him go and say goodbye to him I told him about what we said about Katie Lang and Stompin Tom Connors the day my brother died I was in my house listing to my tapes and all of a sudden around 3 o'clock the song about KD Lang and came on my tape little did I know that my brother was going to passed away that day he was on life support and they said they were going to put a trachea in him and they decided not to they let him go that day cuz my brother didn't want to live that way and when I heard the song I had no idea that my brother was laying in the hospital posted on that night when my mother came home where Mom told me about my brother and what was weird to me is what has happened that day but thanks just don't become Connors we had a lot of beautiful music and a lot of history of his work as a singer so needless to say start up a phone call on her I know you are in heaven and I know that you are looking down on the world and hoping and wishing that you're strong as well live on they do and I'm sure a lot of people would have grey with me never speak negative about something that we really don't know about if we know music the way we do let's be positive and think about all the star that have made music what it is today

[@TheYukonnahanni]

Your message was difficult to read, as was a bit , all over the place , but , with time , studying it , one got a handle on trying to understand it & your message & your pain .. We are never alone in the World , as , long as One can speak & reach out . I think , you were speaking out .. You are heard ..

[@sherrythebirthdayclown3634]

It's sad that Heinz Ketchup is no longer a Canadian staple the Leamington tomatoes we're no longer allowed in the ketchup so as a Canadian I just changed the words to French's ketchup because they've got the company now from those Leamington farmers and all those delicious tomatoes right straight from Leamington Ontario 😁
