This man is a champion with musical taste I can get behind. My old man told me about Gordon Lightfoot, I'm surprised anyone knows of him nowadays. Man the 70s-80s were a good time and I wasn't even there.
@@OldLadyRocker I know this is off topic, the old man just recommended me to watch Vision Quest tonight. He recommends me all these goodies that none of the kids know about these days. Music, the history of "back in the day", the movies, Aqua Net. Ya know, the good stuff xD He really is, I suppose I could say I was born in the wrong time.
I'm a senior in high school. My teacher started playing the wreck of the Edmond Fitzgerald and I started singing along. All my friends were giving me a "what's wrong with you?" look.
As someone who's Gen Z, Tim's version of The Wreck of the Edmund Fitzgerald is what introduced me to the song. I have an awesome rock cover of it on my playlist that I often listen to, thanks Tim :)
I remember using 'The Wreck of the Edmund Fitzgerald' to get back at some people in my dorm for partying all night long and keeping everyone awake until the sun came up. Two of floors were dedicated quiet floors, but I guess they forgot, so the upper floor had the 12 hour party while we of the lower floor kept reporting them to the RA's and I think someone even tried to get campus security on their case. I ultimately decided to take matters into my own hands around 5 am. After clearing it with and even getting some helpers from my floor, we set up our own speakers in the stairwell, waited until the partiers upstairs went quiet, and then blasted it. They never had a party that long again.
Had a noisy neighbour when I was younger, Put I'll be back by arnee and the terminators on repeat, then went out shooting for the weekend. Funny after that parties stopped at midnight not 4am any more.
@@spyder027 Good music is good music. I know of a guy who is 20 years old right now but he loves and performs rat pack music. Frank Sinatra, especially. Talk about born in the "wrong time." So, he performs that music for people in nursing homes in their 70s and 80s. He has an audience to play for.
Most standups, you could be dusting or doing dishes as long as you can hear them and it is still entertaining...but not Tim he is dinner and a show. All his jokes are great but when he acts them out....well that just makes him the best.
I know this was from along time ago , I just found this and just wanted to say every year the radio station in Alpena, Michigan still plays the wreck of the Edmund Fitzgerald on the anniversary of it's demise. There are still family members of the lost sailors living in the area.
I am 73 and I only just , sort of get it . I think eight track cassettes were so sort lived in the UK few remember them or understand them . I have been driving since Imwas 17 and have never seen a car with an 8 track player let a.one owned one
I told my kids after watching “Cats” that most of the songs are describing each cat. Then I said “it took them 2 hours to describe the characters. Billy Joel described a whole bar of characters in 6 minutes as the piano man. And he did it better.” None of them disagreed-and we are all Broadway musical nerds 🎶😂
One of the other long songs by Gordon Lightfoot is the Great Canadian Railroad Trilogy. I'm not sure if it is longer than the Edmund Fitzgerald song but its close.
Kevin, that is exactly what I was going to say. It must be longer, because I never heard that one on the radio. "Oh, there was a time in this fair land when the railroad did not run..." Gotta give Lightfoot credit, for all its length Canadian Railroad Trilogy does _not_ drag.
Idunno. I really like the lightfoot song. We took a ferry across Lake Michigan last year and that’s when I heard about it. It ended up being our soundtrack for that trip.
Beyond brilliant and hilarious at the same time. Have heard this a million times and have seen his shows year after year.....laugh to the point of tears every time. He is amazing and gifted. He'll say there is no difference between him and us except that he has a mike......and talent ...bahahahahah. Yes TIm!!!!
OMG! That was so hillarious! Mom played me all the originals before she let me hear his versions. Last one is the best, and Lightfoot is from Orillia which is only 30 min from me!!!!
Hilarious was when years ago Gordon was driving in Toronto listening to the radio and they annouced his death. He called in then to 'reme-die' the news. ruclips.net/video/63jz2lT6XII/видео.html
Thick as a Brick by Jethro Tull "Really don't mind if you sit this one out" "My word's 25 verses, sometimes I even shout" "I'll tell random stories that will give you the feee-eee-eeelsss" "To be thick, as a brick"
Here comes Santa clause here comes Santa clause right down Santa clause lane. He wrecked. Here comes Peter Cottontail hopping down the bunny trail. He tripped. Just two of my short version favorites. One other worthy mention. 100 bottles of beer on the wall, 100 bottles of beer. Earthquake!
Tim is so hilarious. Like Bill Engvall and Jeff Foxworthy, he doesn't need profanity to make us laugh, even though I have nothing against profanity. Ron White goes to my dark side of humor with his perfect use of profanity. I love comedians, and Tim should be as big as the guys I just mentioned. Not only is he hilarious, he's a great guitar player.
I'd honestly like to see him do Rush's song 2112 in ONE verse. (There is depth to it and the 7 parts do tell a story, {least 2-7, "Part 1: Overture" is mainly to get you ready or a hint of what you'll be hearing perhaps})
@@hunterpark1221 you forgot the part where he kills himself and the solar system gets invaded. All this bit is that summaries are easy to write, in fact songs that tell stories like 2112, Xanadu, or Cygnus X-1 are easier to summarize because of it. I can think of a few for other Rush songs like Xanadu: “man searches for immortality and gets it” Cygnus X-1: “a guy flies a spaceship into a black hole and becomes a god” Limelight: “Man becomes famous and has difficulty interacting with fans” Beneath, Between, & Behind: “America’s army is too big” The bit where he calls a 6 and a half minute song “too long” is pretty funny though.
He came to Portage MI. last Friday and did a show at a church not to far from where I live and I didn't know about until last Sunday. When I found out I felt like crying.
1:50 Cats In A Cradle I totally agree didn't need to be as long as it was. ApologetiX did a parody to that one called Christ In The Stable and I love the words, but it's just so long and slow that I get bored with that one. This was so funny! I have ADD myself so I totally get this. For me if I'm listening to a song it's got to be no longer than 4 minutes before I just can't continue listening or pay attention to the words.
As a Canadian, I can attest to the absolute _torture_ of the Edmund Fitzgerald song lol. I’m 34 now, and it’s not AS painful to hear anymore… But it was seriously like 1/3 of our 4th grade curriculum here haha 😄
Gosh, I've just looked up ADD and to my complete shock, I think *I've got it!* I thought ADD had something to do with hyperactivity. I'm not at all hyperactive, but based on what I've read, I do think I have "inattentive type" ADHD. Based on the following facts: • I daydream constantly • I find it very difficult to focus on things • I get VERY easily confused • I have huge trouble following written instructions • I am incredibly forgetful • I am always losing things • I don't listen when people are talking to me • I struggle to focus on anything for more than a few minutes • I consider myself quite slow and dumb in many ways (despite having quite a high IQ). • I don't know if it's related, but I have never read a novel in my life because I don't have the concentration and find it boring! • I also can't read if there's music playing, but I'm not sure if that's related to ADHD? I'm fine when I'm writing (like here) because I can totally focus on the words in front of me. But when I'm doing anything else, I daydream constantly. I've always considered this just to be my personality, not a mental disorder. I do have chronic fatigue, so I put my lack of concentration down to me just being half asleep most of the time! LOL Not quite sure what to do with the fact that I probably have ADHD! That's a shocker LOL Anyway, I'll move on to thinking about something else now…
I loved watching him when i was younger. I saw the name and had flashbacks to using a lynskys usb dongle for that horrible free internet and waiting an hour to watch a single video.
Well I didn't know that he was Canadian but I was kinda surprised to hear Wreck of the Edmund Fitzgerald, I've never come across somebody else who knew the song XD
I find it interesting that he makes a big deal about how long The Wreck of the Edmund Fitzgerald is, but it's shorter than Stairway To Heaven, one of the most infamous rock songs ever.
Stairway moves, it changes. But the Wreck seems endless because it never changes. Every verse is like every other verse. There is no chorus. There is no bridge. Just verse after verse of unchanging melody. It's quite monotonous.
I'm trying to eat a meal while watching these back to back.... I just took the hard path to find out I have to eat BETWEEN videos....or at least pause it XD
i have ADD and ADHD and i also have sleeping problems. i love games and i love love love to laugh, and i just have so much fun when i laugh like a hyena and people look at me funny so i laugh harder, snort, and laugh even more because i snorted and then- well, you know, it goes on and on. anyway, i just realized something . . . no wonder i have so many awesome, hilarious friends. . . im amazing! hey, wait- did you just see that?!

"It was a long song, two eight tracks."
That joke is lost on so many.
But made me laugh out loud.
So what?
Lol...Side A *flip* Side B.
One track holds 20 minutes and there are (somewhat counter intuitively) 4 tracks, so two cassettes would hold 2 hours and 40 minutes. Long arse song!

This guy is awsome. Great comedy show and concert
I Have ADD and i think it's funny !!!
Yeah, but not for long.
I have funny and I think it's AD-SQUIRREL!
m queen, me too!
Well I didn't know that he was Canadian but I was kinda surprised to hear Wreck of the Edmund Fitzgerald, I've never come across somebody else who knew the song XD
I find it interesting that he makes a big deal about how long The Wreck of the Edmund Fitzgerald is, but it's shorter than Stairway To Heaven, one of the most infamous rock songs ever.
Stairway moves, it changes. But the Wreck seems endless because it never changes. Every verse is like every other verse. There is no chorus. There is no bridge. Just verse after verse of unchanging melody. It's quite monotonous.
I'm trying to eat a meal while watching these back to back....
I just took the hard path to find out I have to eat BETWEEN videos....or at least pause it XD
"And the people all died... Bummer" lol
i have ADD and ADHD and i also have sleeping problems. i love games and i love love love to laugh, and i just have so much fun when i laugh like a hyena and people look at me funny so i laugh harder, snort, and laugh even more because i snorted and then- well, you know, it goes on and on. anyway, i just realized something . . . no wonder i have so many awesome, hilarious friends. . . im amazing! hey, wait- did you just see that?!
shortened songs for AD-- oh look a butterfly...
Yes? Lol.
I was gonna reply with something but I forget.
@@ForHisGlory128 People tell me I'm apathetic, but who cares?
More like AD-Damn, I forgot to feed the dog!
That was the best 2 minutes and 41 seconds I've ever had! 🤣🥰😊💖
LMAO!!
THANK YOU
When he mention longest from Canada I immediately thought 2112 overture
The whole of 2112 is long, but Overture is like 3 minutes isn’t it?
