The Daves I Know

[@darylfitz4189]

I worked with a Dave once and sang him this song. That’s the end of this story.

[@CraftAero]

Every time I meet a Dave, I mention that I'll add him to the list. Get some weird looks but it makes ME laugh.

[@WednesdaysDragon]

You told that story so well Daryl! 😊

Men did not wear their jeans above the hips in the 90’s. I promise you. I was there.

​@@AnthonyHernandez-je1tx I was there and then too, but I can't tell you single thing about where other men wore their waistline on their hips. The ladies however, I could draw detailed pictures of each one.

Girbauds were, ostensibly, hot back in the day. For reals. This was a look to which you may have needed to pester your folks to buy the upscale jeans so as to attain to.

[@B0Nnaaay]

[@jimmylin7233]

There's nothing inherently funny about just listing people named Dave yet somehow McCulloch and the Kids managed to make this a masterpiece.

[@Ggg12236]

Disagree that it isn’t inherently funny. A broader point of the show is the absurdity of existence itself which is funny in a Dadaist way. Similar to (and a precursor of) modern memes like sneed.

[@LIBREPUB]

As a Dave, anytime I meet someone new and they sing this, I know I’ve met a winner.

In the 90s, my single female friends and I met so many Dave's in the bars, we called them "the Dave's of our lives". To distinguish them apart we used an identifying label such as "Dave get a haircut", "Dave get a job", "Dave get a new shirt" Kids in the hall, thank you for the memories.

Love how Dave Foley isn't even referenced in the entire song until the end, where he walks with the rest of them

[@seanryan3020]

I could have sworn that when I first saw this in the 90s, there was a part when Dave Foley popped up and said, "What about me?" and Bruce was all, "Who are you?" or "Get out of here," or something! Damn you, Mandela!

[@okjeffy6581]

[@JL-ze5qm]

I used to serve McCulloch brunch at a restaurant in Toronto on weekends. He always ordered pancakes. He was very polite and kind and a pleasure to serve. At the same place I once served Bruce Cockburn, who ordered a vegetarian curry soup, sweet potato, I think. He was also very kind, but very quiet, almost shy.

[@richardthompson6366]

[@squamish4244]

I can one up you on my relationship to this song :) I'm sure I heard this song back in the 90s but completely forgot about it. Then I heard it on CBC Radio in about 2004-5 and thought it was a regular pop song called "These are the days I know". Then someone corrected me on it and I thought that was funny. Then I forgot about the song *again* until a year ago, when a guy named Dave at my yoga studio started singing it in the locker room because of the number of Daves that go there. My father's name is Dave, so I messaged this video to him and the rest of my family. They thought it was hilarious. And this time, the song is truly stuck in my head until I die. Well done, Kids in the Hall.

I'm 44, Canadian. Loved Kids in the Hall but grew up in a super religious town in Central Alberta so the show was not popular there. I've been seeing this song since! Just randomly the song will pop into my head. For some reason, lately it's been coming into my head often and my 12 yr old son started singing it, not knowing where it came from. So a few weeks ago I showed him this video and now we both will just starting singing it randomly. It warms my heart when my son just starts singing it ❤🇨🇦

He was involved in a conversation with a friend, but occasionally would comment on what we are saying. I recognized him but couldn't place him. Then it struck me. I asked "Are you Dave Foley?" and he said "Yes I am!" After that our conversation continued like normal and I never say him again.
