I guess this could be considered a singing commercial for Living Room Requests :) We used to play this song a lot on Coffee and Cartoons on WUML in the 1990s.
Well done, once again, as always. An interesting "updated" (?) version of the song (the only song by the Canadian group in question to which I ever listened. Released in 1988). AND ... how much IS a "billion" ? With the Yanks "calling the shots" in the world today, a "billion" is now generally taken to mean a "thousand times a million", (bearing in mind that a "million" is a thousand times a thousand), BUT "traditionally" a BRITISH "billion" (and, thereby also a CANADIAN "billion") is one million times one million - SO... 1,000,000,000,000 as opposed to 1,000,000,000 - meaning that you would need one thousand American billions to make ONE British billion, BUT, of course this is all academic for most of us who will never have to deal in, or even think about, anything involving such high numbers.
Happy Birthday Anniversary Jay !!! Thanks Jeff&Andy !!! Thanks Patricia and Matt for always being game for a good time !!!

It was cool to hear Matt get some good vocal work, too. And baritone ukulele is always a good idea. :-)

Thank you for bumping up and parading our billion. The Yanks do NOT have the biggest of everything! Not even in Texas!
Billion dollars? This way! Hey! Me! Me!... I need to pay fer me urgent brain transplant!...
