Is the siren noise frivolous? Comment for “yes” and like the comment for “No”
No
No
No
hell no
No, no and Hell No! Go check the lyrics…
My jaw dropped on the floor when I heard people are saying Red Rider aka Tom Cochrane and Red Rider are one hit wonders. 3 of their songs were played on the Miami Vice tv series: Lunatic "Fringe", "Can't Turn Back", and "Big League". Red Rider has 6 Platinum albums in Canada. Other hits "White Hot, Don't Fight It, Boy Inside the Man, The Untouchable One, Big League, Victory Day, Human Race, Good Times, to name some. Tom Cochrane: Life is A Highway, No Regrets, Sinking Like A Sunset, Mad Mad World, Washed Away, Bigger Man, I Wish You Well. Tom Cochrane has the Order of Manitoba, the Order of Canada, Multiple Juno awards and nominations, Diamond and Platinum album sales in Canada, hi is in Canada's Music Hall of Fame, Canada's Walk of Fame, Canada's Music Industry Hall of Fame and more. You don't get all that for just being a one hit wonder.
When people say "one hit wonder" they're referring to the American charts, specifically Billboard. And by that standard, Red Ryder is a one hit wonder. (I know that sounds ethnocentric, but it's facts.)
Interestingly Tom Cochrane was also a one hit wonder on his own with "Life is a Highway"... Maybe the only double one hit wonder in music history
songs on a tv show soundtrack count as hits, by your definition? Ok thanks
@@bubbabubberson2702 Sorry I don't agree with your American "facts". That said, "Big League" was a top 10 in the U.S. As well, Red Rider (with an "i") had 6 top 20 hits on American Billboard as well. Tom Cochrane had 2 U.S. top 10's on Billboard. All those songs I listed are played on Canadian radio consistently still. So I'll stand by what I said that they are not One Hit Wonders.
@@1jamyc No, but I guess you don't know much about the music relationship with Miami Vice. First of all, all those songs WERE hits. Second their music has been in other movies and tv shows, including those same songs, but the importance of the music choices in Miami Vice were huge. That show was a major influence at the time with it's aesthetic, the styles, the clothes, the cars, and also the music.
"The Music of Miami Vice is one of the hallmarks of the series. Throughout its run, the show included a multitude of songs by outside artists as part of its soundtrack; songs were used both diegetically (i.e. playing within the fictional world of the show where they can be heard by the characters) and non-diegetically (i.e. playing purely as soundtrack for the viewer).
The inclusion of popular music as an integral part of the show, and tailoring that music to match the scene in which it is used, is undoubtedly one of the signature aspects of Miami Vice. The technique has gone on to become a common feature of modern television dramas and its establishment in the TV format is often credited to Miami Vice.
While other television shows of the time used made-for-TV music, the Miami Vice production team would spend $10,000 or more per episode to buy the rights to original recordings by contemporary artists. Getting a song played on Miami Vice became a considerable boost to both musicians and their respective record labels. In fact, at the show's peak, some American newspapers, including USA Today, would publish a song list for music due to be featured in that week's episode. At the same time, American viewers were treated to music from European groups that had never otherwise had a song played in the US." - Wiki
@@bubbabubberson2702 They(Red Ryder) had 6 Top 20 Billboard US Main Rock Charts. Tom solo, which usually had some of Red Ryder playing with him, had 2 Top 10 US Billboard Rock Charters.
Red Rider (with tom cochrane) and tom cochrane had tons of radio hits in Canada in the 80s and 90s. 1980 - White Hot....and Dont Fight It. 1981 - Lunatic Fringe 1983 - Human Race 1986 - Boy Inside The Man 1988 - Big League 1989 - Victory Day 1991 - No Regrets.....and Life Is A Highway.
Don't forget "Sinking LIke a Sunset", "Mad Mad World", "Everything Comes Around". In fact, the "Mad Mad World" album consists of 13 brilliant tracks and zero less than brilliant tracks.
"Life Is A Highway" great song!
This was my comment, but you beat me to it.
What was another Red Rider hit in 🇨🇦 Canada? This is all people know in the States. I am sure they have more interesting material.
@@gvbezoff I feel like I could say that about a lot of Red Rider/Tom Cochrane albums. Every song is great.
Yes, the "siren" sound makes total sense within the context of the lyrics.
😉
Lunatic fringe
I know you're out there
You're in hiding
And you hold your meetings
I can hear you coming
And we know what you're after
We're wise to you this time
(We're wise to you this time)
We won't let you kill the laughter
Lunatic fringe
In the twilight's last gleaming
This is open season
But you won't get too far
'Cause you've got to blame someone
For your own confusion
We're on guard this time (on guard this time)
Against your final solution
Oh no
We can hear you coming
(We can hear you coming)
No, you're not going to win this time
(You're not gonna win)
We can hear the footsteps
(We can hear the footsteps)
Way out along the walkway (along the walkway)
Lunatic fringe
We all know you're out there
Can you feel the resistance?
Can you feel the thunder?
Oh no
@Penderyn huh??? Do you know what fringe means???
@@cryptoking7093 yea I always though lunatic fringe was the counter-culture vs the majority. And right now, in this modern dumbass society, I want to be part of the counter-culture.
This song and “Twilight Zone” by Golden Earring were the bomb in ‘81/‘82
Most definitely.
Yup
Twilight Zone long version is awesome!
Twilight zone !
@@stevenkmiller YES!.....the LONG version please!
The slide guitar on this song is sick!! I have loved this song since the 80’s🔥
Actually pedal steel according to album notes and when I saw them live touring this album.
So much. I was 13 in 1981 and this song was all over the radio. Takes me back to junior high.
I NEVER tire of Lunatic Fringe. Been hearing it for ages on classic rock radio.
Great tune! Deep lyrics that still hold true today.
Even more today, IMO. Or, truth be told, I understand the lyrics now, and I didn't really, when the song came out....but still knew on some level it was a deep song.
@@MissAstorDancer easy to overlook meaning of a tune this bad ass. I was 20 when this came out. Doing live sound for bands full time.
I never put it all together. Just realizing how prescient and well said the lyrics are.
I'm Australian, but having been to Canada many times since the early 80's to visit my relatives I'm a big fan of Tom Cochrane and Red Rider. I've got a heap of their albums, both as a group and Tom's solo stuff. The live album with the Edmonton Symphony Orchestra is excellent.
So Tom Cochran is like your Billy Thorpe (who I happen to love, as a Yank). Children Of The Sun is such a banger!
Fair play - I'm a Canadian who can't understand why Americans never heard of Cold Chisel.
Yes. The ambulance noise makes sense.
Always felt the siren sound was perfect. The "lunatic" on the fringe (of sanity/doing something bad) It brings to a moment of heightened anxiety, indicating a confirmation of something serious gone wrong.
GREAT song. The ambulance sound was essential- it was the climax of the song. They're coming for the lunatics, and they're here, sirens blaring. Haven't heard that in years, and forgot how tight that song was. Man, it still smokes, doesn't it?
Canadian gold! Of course, in the Great White North both Red Rider and Tom Chochrane had many, many huge hits.
How many times has this song come on and I thought, Andy & Alex need to do this! Thank you 😊
This song.... I Never thought would be as prescient as it is right now. At 56, who started HS in 1980, and graduated in '84, I thought it was prescient then, but I was wrong. Today's lunatic fringe blows us out of the universe.
Gr8 Reaction..
Yep, they're back.
Lunatic Fringe trying to ram their Utopian ideals (and everyone else's nightmares ) down society's throats.
And yes they aren't gonna win
AMEN 🙏
Unfortunately, that's clearly true.
Thanks Andy, I can't UNHEAR "Lunatic Fridge" now...
This means nothing to you guys but some of us have a special place in our hearts for this song because we wrestled in high school and watched the movie Vision Quest at least 100 times when we were kids.
Tom Cochrane the leader of Red Rider is still going strong...we went and saw him live here in Vancouver last summer...so many hits!!! ...and he still does this song and we all loved it!! by the way Tom has won 8 Juno Awards...it's the Canadian Grammy's!!
Used to listen to this on my walkman (betcha these boys don't know what that is) while getting ready for wrestling matches in High School in the eighties. Talk about pumped up. No question why they used it in the movie Vision Quest. Great tune.
Tom Cochrane said he wrote it about anti-Semitism, but then felt compelled to record a demo after John Lennon's murder. At any rate, VIVID memories of listening to this fantastic song when I started college in 1981. He also wrote another hit song, as a solo artist: "Life is a Highway." Totally different tune.
Many people don't know that the guitar solo was actual band member Ken Greer on pedal steel guitar, and not a regular 6-string!
You guys have to watch the movie Vision Quest (1985). This song makes the movie.
Louden Swain played by Matthew Moline is a wrestler who falls in love with Carla.
the main reason many of us know this song is that is was included on the Soundtrack Album for the 1985 film Vision Quest. Great soundtrack and great song!
The siren at the end is ICONIC... When you've heard the song more than a couple of times you wait for that and rewarded every time. Great song!
...now hit GUIDED BY VOICES: "The Enemy" or "Space Gun"... both are superb bangers you will love!
John, you must keep the XTC train going!
Don't stop until they listen..
Complicated Game or Senses Working Overtime.
@@32INCHSTRIPER Yup. I thought I'd change it up a bit... but need to hit that every chance I get. Cheers!
"FRIDGE GONE WILD"? Crazy!! One of my favorite Canadian songs!!!
Tom Cochrane was inspired to write this song after reading about Raoul Wallenberg, who worked to save Hungarian Jews during World War II. The lyrics speak against racism and the oppression of American Jews. There's even mentioning of the "Final Solution", the elimination of all Jews by Hitler and the Nazis. Btw, in Germany the sirens of police cars sound just like that. Tom Cochrane also had a solo hit in 1991 that's worth checking out. It's called "Life Is A Highway". Please feature more Canadian bands on your channel. I highly recommend Saga. "Don't Be Late" or "Images" would be a good start.
This song's lyrics are incredible and stand the test of time. Here are the lyrics if anybody is interested:
Lunatic fringe
I know you're out there
You're in hiding
And you hold your meetings
I can hear you coming
And we know what you're after
We're wise to you this time
(We're wise to you this time)
We won't let you kill the laughter
Lunatic fringe
In the twilight's last gleaming
This is open season
But you won't get too far
'Cause you've got to blame someone
For your own confusion
We're on guard this time (on guard this time)
Against your final solution
Oh no
We can hear you coming
(We can hear you coming)
No, you're not going to win this time
(You're not gonna win)
We can hear the footsteps
(We can hear the footsteps)
Way out along the walkway (along the walkway)
Lunatic fringe
We all know you're out there
Can you feel the resistance?
Can you feel the thunder?
Oh no
Oh my God. I never put it together. Giving me chills how current the lyrics are. Ty
crazy true !!
Yes! Love this song! ❤
Thx guys. 👊😊 the ambulance makes total sense, like Pink Floyd says they're coming to take us away well I guess different people say that (Beatles, Monkeys). Anyway Lunatic Fringe groups out on the fringes of society... there's always going to be a siren around. Somebody's going to be getting hurt. Somebody's going to be going to jail. And remember these songs so many of them were new styles that we had never heard before or if there were other groups doing it it was all of them doing it at a time when it was new. So these sounds and explosions were new and different. Very impactful. And some of these songs are more like leftover 70's which are fantastic they were coming into the 80s that were not the bad 80s that we don't like. Haha
As far as I'm concerned, you win the internet today!
Yeah, the inspiration for this was Raoul Wallenberg, who was a famous Jew during WWII, and what he went through. The klaxon sound was to kinda show respect to those who fought in the resistance against Mr. Mustache.
Tom said it was mainly about racism
D.O.A.
I saw them in 1986 opening for Bob Seger. It was a great concert
Been waiting for you to hit this one! The music of the era was on the edge of so many things, it was super interesting. A couple more good ones: Ah Leah by Donnie Iris, and I’m the Man by Joe Jackson.
This is one of THE most played tracks in FM radio history. You can fact check that. It was also used on the show Miami Vice 3 times.
The other most well known song by Tom is Life is a Highway. It's a bop.
The bass player on this, Jeff Jones, was in a band with Alex Lifeson and John Rutsey called Rush. He was replaced by some guy named Geddy Lee and no one knows what happened to them.
😁😁😉
Live version of this song with the Edmonton Symphony Orchestra is SO good!
Another Canadian banger, Sass Jordan, the song is High Road Easy
Sass Jordan is the most under rated artist, eh!
@@T-ShirtMagic No Canadian adds "eh" to the end of a typed comment lol. It's typically only used in spoken language. Eh is used in lieu of placeholder/filler words like "right" or "like". If you are Canadian, then my bad.
@@vvoof2601 If I apologize would you then believe I'm a Vancouver Island Canuck? lol.
Couldn't "eh" be for our American friend's benefit? Or maybe I type as I speak and didn't know rules applied re online commenting (other than the "Golden Rule").🙂 Appreciate your feedback - take care.
I always LOVED this song.
Seen red rider once in concert .ya gotta do white hot. One of my all time favorite songs..
Billy Squier lite -- yep, fair.
You guys have hit an impressive number of Canadian artists (April Wine, BTO, Lightfoot, etc).
Best Canadian 80s band? Maybe Loverboy -- check out Turn Me Loose.
Tom Cochrane also has another solo banger. Life is a highway.
The BEST road trip song!
@@sallyphillips9175 NOT the crappy Rascal Flatts version either!
@@garyw6330 Right! Much prefer the original.
Saw them in concert. When they played this song the crowd went crazy.
I’ve always loved this song. I haven’t heard it in awhile so it was nice to see this on the notification.
One of the songs you turn your volume up and sing along with all the other drivers singing along with you
White hot, human race, boy inside the man (this could be solo cochrane), power all great songs by this band. Hardly one hit wonders in Canada
Tom Cochrane's "Life is a highway" was a huge hit and has been covered more recently by a country singer and has became a hit a second time. Red Rider was Tom Cochrane singing and writing, and is really the same act.
Used so effectively in the film "Vision Quest" , worth checking out...
So many great songs on that soundtrack.
Only remember this from the Vision Quest soundtrack, which also had Madonna's Crazy for You, one of my 80s favs.
Finally hitting this. Great to see/ hear. Great song for testing out the car audio system.
One of the best vocalists during the Canadian 80's is the band SAGA - check out them live album - single "on the loose" will not disappoint. Never got the acclaim they should have - prog rock.
Wind Him Up is a really great Saga song too! Great band!!
You could sneak this song onto the "The Wall" and it would totally fit..
Tom Cochrane may be the only person to have a one hit wonder as part of a group AND as a solo artist (separated by a decade). I’m sure you’ve heard Life is a Highway somewhere along the line.
Look up the name Tony Burrows and be enlightened
For years I thought it was Bryan Adams on vocals. Only found out recently it was Cochrane.
Sure sounds like Adams though.
Not really a one-hit wonder as a solo artist, there was also "Big League", which made it to #4 in Canada and #9 in the US. Not too shabby. Punk Rock Factory covers Life is a Highway because I guess it was on the Cars soundtrack.
@@YouDummy yup, learned about Tony from Professor Of Rock a while back. 5#1 songs in 5 different groups.
I know "Life Is A Highway", but I've never heard this song before.
I've been waiting soooooo looong for someone to react to this. It's so relevant and real to today's society.....especially particular folks 🫣
Totally. The globalists were good at hiding then, there was no internet.
I was introduced to Red Rider in the 80s through the tune White Hot, then came to know Lunatic Fringe from a Miami Vice episode (yep dating myself here). You may know Tom Cochrane, lead vocal and guitar for Red Rider, better through his solo career for songs like "Life is a highway", "Boy inside the man", and "Big League. Red Rider not really a one-hit wonder, but more.
This song sounds so amazing at midnight in the dark. It's also very apt even today.
Good reaction, guys. Same era as Billy Squire. 1981 marked the end of arena rock after it reigned supreme through the end of the 70s. By 1982, hair metal bands were filling radio playlists and hockey rinks. Many of us lost interest in that kind of music and turned to punk and post-punk around that time.
It's funny that you think "arena rock" was dead in '82 but punk wasn't.
The number one albums in 1982 were by AC/DC, Foreigner, The J. Geils Band, The GoGo's, Vangelis, Asia, Paul McCartney, Fleetwood Mac, John Cougar and Men at Work
First time I heard this Song on Miami Vice (Smuggler's Blues) in the 80's. Great.
Greetings from Germany
Classic! 👍
One thing unusual about this song is the guitar solo is a lap steel guitar with effects, cool sound.
Red Rider front man Tom Cochrane did Life Is A Highway and you need to hit that one! It's a 90s banger!
"Lunatic Fridge". Great. Thanks Andy. Now I can never hear that song without imagining a raging insane refrigerator running down the street tossing spoiled milk and old veggies at innocent passerby.
Ambulance sound was essential. It presents the feeling of danger caused by...wait...the lunatic fringe of society.
I think it represents Jews being picked up for the slaughter. The song is actually about the oppression of Jews.
The lunatic fringe is bigger than ever and crazier than ever.
Absolutely love the Double Stank Face on that first Pick Slide! Literally one of my favorite individual moments of any ‘80’s rock song!
Of course that list is 10,000 deep soo……
This was one of the songs that helped establish MTV as a force in Music.
Always a rocker. Loved when this came on MTV.
Lead singer is Tom Cochrane who wrote and released original version of Life Is A Highway on his Mad Mad World album. Great record.
You read the lyrics by now, I'm sure. Nothing so timely. Yes, the siren is necessary. Resist
This song brings Vision Quest memories back anytime I hear it.
One of the few that have taken a listen to this great track. Have this on my "Route 66" Playlist! That steady guitar is what drives it.
Saw these guys as an opening act at Madison Square Garden. They were incredible!!
For another one hit wonder, and pardon to my Canadian friends, laugh, that I think is from right around the same time and I think I'm hearing them on the radio a lot at the same time is the Greg Kihn Band, The Breakup Song.
I love the drone at the beginning that turns so menacing. Good tune.
This song was a big part of one of my favorite movies of the time “Vision Quest”. Could be a movie for you guys to watch, featured an unknown Bar/club singer Madonna. And songs from Jon Waite fresh out of the group, The Babys
Great songs this week! King of Pain and Lunatic Fringe!
🥳
Tom Cochrane’s remake of “Big League” after the Humboldt Bronco’s crash was a tear jerker.
As A Highschool Wrestler this song has a special place in my heart.
Louden Swain Thompson High from Vision Quest. I wrestled too and loved that movie. All that darn dieting we had to do was horrible. What was your weight class?
@@Hollingsworth2781 a whopping 136 freshman year.
@@estacadarocks3446 Did you go up in weight class throughout hs? I was 134 as a junior and then later148 which was two classes higher.
@@Hollingsworth2781 yeah i maxed out at 148 also, but my senior year. Early years were easier i Couldn't gain weight no matter how hard i tried, metabolism was high. 2 of my grandsons (brothers) are both headed to state for their 2 chance at taking state. Oregon. Way better than grampa was. Lol
I always laugh when I hear this song , a guy I used to work with went to a stoner party and he said there was one guy that kept playing this song over and over , his reaction was hilarious. Wish you guys could have heard / watched him tell the story.
The definition of "lunatic fringe" is "an extreme or eccentric minority within society or a group."
Loved Life is a Highway - all time favorite by Cochrane
Saw these guys in the 80's, they used a pedal steel guitar...unusual for a rock band
Ken Greer on guitar and pedal steel. Brilliant player. 👍
@@MiddleMalcolmthanks for his name. I remember he was killin' it!
Saw them in the late 2010s (don't remember the exact year) and it was Incredible. Tom played for awhile and then the original red-rider lineup came up and played all of neruda (I think, sorry bad memory). The entire show was 3 hours and it blew my mind! In my top 5 shows I've seen for sure!
Me n my best friend from high school used to drive though the graveyard to this song back in our senior year !
For a rock and roll song, it had the unique element of utilizing a lap steel guitar with a slide, normally used in country music, but with distortion effects normally used with electric guitars. Kind of an interesting song in an era when MTV was expanding the music universe.
Very cool, happy you found this one. One of my favorites from 1981.
The sirens are to give you an Ambience of being outdoors at night with the lunatic fringe people I grew up with this song in Hollywood at night I know
Rock n Roll steel guitar, gotta love it.
I know it’s an old post, but Vision Quest introduced me to this song. You got to watch it now f you haven’t seen it … great soundtrack
Solo is the brilliant Ken Greer on pedal steel, hence the "One Of These Days" vibe for you guys. The "siren" is the pedal steel as well. Outstanding Canadian classic!
This song is so iconically classic!!!
This thing was all over the radio in 81-82 and it rocked hard. They were a Canadian band. Every time the beginning started EVERYONE cranked the car stereos. Also I think this was in the Vision Quest soundtrack, which also rocked hard.
Cool trivia: Jeff Jones, the bassist for Red Rider, was Rush's original bassist/singer. Geddy Lee replaced him long before their first album though.
This song actually hasn’t aged all that well. Sounds like it should be the song in a closing plot point scene of some overdramatic 80s teen flick where Tom Cruise is trying his best to make the LaCrosse team, but his dad thinks LaCrosse is a waste of time and he needs Tom to take over his Heating and Air Conditioning repair business because unbeknownst to Tom he has dementia. Meanwhile team captain Kevin Bacon keeps putting the moves on Cruse’s girlfriend - whose single mother works two cashier jobs trying to feed the mouths of her four kids - one of which has a learning disorder or something - but who Cruise teaches math to.
But I mildly liked it when it first came out.
It was in the 1985 movie Vision Quest.
That movie sounds too good to be true. I would camp out at the theater to see this.
You have obviously never listened to the lyrics. This song is better suited for one of 'The Purge' movies.
Freshman year in college. Such a wicked selection of music. Great song.
I am a proud member of the lunatic fringe and I knew this song as soon as I saw the title. It is an 80s song so for that era, I call it a good song.
While the Lunatic was playing I said to my wife, Andy will mention he hears David Gilmore styling 🎸 play... and as soon as Andy did 😳
Love these guys. Canadians know how to party. This was in tons of movies also. Good choice boys. Fun times.
I’m sure someone has commented already but too many to read right now. Absolute iconic movie for us 80’s kids was Vision Quest. This was on the soundtrack and fantastic! Especially for those of us w a boyfriend/husband to this day that you went to watch wrestle lol
We refer to this type of music as...driving music. Perfect for a drive, especially at night. Turn it up and cruise.
Haven't heard this in AGES, used to wear this song out. Thanks, guys!
Glad to see you guys finally get to this song!
Interesting trivia: the bass player, Jeff Jones, was the bass player for Rush in the summer of 1968 and was "replaced" by some guy named Geddy Lee!! ✌🎸🤔
This was popular in the US due to it’s prominent placement in the movie “Vision Quest” with Matthew Modine.
