This is the only track that got some sort of traction here in Australia. And I’m pretty sad because there is not one dukk track from your entire repertoire. Why? At 60, am I only just getting this?! ❤
loved the scene in Corner Gas where Brent opens the garage door and The Hip are standing there and Brent says " don't tell me what the poets are doing"
Spring starts when a heartbeat's pounding When the birds can be heard above the reckoning carts doing some final accounting Lava flowing in Superfarmer's direction He's been getting reprieve from the heat in the frozen food section Don't tell me what the poets are doing Don't tell me that they're talking tough Don't tell me that they're anti-social Somehow not anti-social enough, all right And porn speaks to it's splintered legions To the pink amid the withered cornstalks in them winter regions While aiming at the archetypal father He said with such broad and tentative swipes why do you even bother? Don't tell me what the poets are doing Those Himalayas of the mind Don't tell me what the poet's been doing In the long grasses over time Don't tell me what the poets are doing On the street and the epitome of vague Don't tell me how the universe is altered When you find out how he gets paid, all right If there's nothing more that you need now The lawn cut by bare breasted women Beach bleached towels within reach for the women Got to make it, that'll make it by swimming
Listening in 2024. "The Rodents" better beware of all those kitties! Lol. I'm curious if anyone knows how many cats were in this video. Peace and love from the Olympic Peninsula in Washington State.🙏❤️🇺🇲🇨🇦

I think I've laughed at that line about 100 times.
This!!!!
Kitties + The Tragically Hip = best music video of all time :)
Went to bed last night with this song on my iPod
Rocked me to sleep
This music will never die
Woke up with this in my head this morning after hearing of Gord Downie's passing yesterday. Sad. But happy we will have this music forever.
I am going ooot to buy a Canadian tuxedo, be right back.
Gordo just simply stokes the fire at this time of year...(I live in a rainforest by the way).".those Himalayas of the mind"
You will always be missed revolution at mind Gordie 😌🙏💫⚡️✌🏼

If there's nothing more that you need now
The lawn cut by bare breasted women

Got to make it, that'll make it by swimming
Genius

Love this band
I don't know whether to feel old or young here - this is the first Hip video I remember ever seeing.
Same here. You must be from the MuchMusic generation, back when it was good. Moist, I Mother Earth, Tea Party...

This is why we export Nickleback. Send the shitty bands to the states and keep The Hip for ourselves.
I'm American n I've loved The Hip for 30+ yrs...u can keep Nickelback!
The Rock Critic brought me here it’s his least favourite hip song lol 😂
Edit: I regret writing this comment teenage me was a dumbass
Phuck whoever that is. Poets and Cordelia all the way
That name is so pretentious... as if there were only one rock critic and as if rock even needs critics! Live and let live, to each his own!
The rock critic can get stuffed
Great lyric writer. He gets zero credit for that. Such a shame.
Sturgill
Roel Boers Could you extrapolate? That a hip song?
He gets a lot of credit for that!
Gord reminds me of Katy Perry
