Friday’s Tune: Canada’s Really Big

It’s summer and to start it off, Canada celebrated its birthday. Mostly without fanfare because we are all staying home. Which will also mean fewer road trips this summer.

BUT you can still experience the great Family Road trip right at home. Just pile everyone in the car in the driveway for a few hours. Once the heat threatens to overwhelm and the electronic devices are dying, throw in a cd for a fabulous family sing-a-long. I can recommend just about anything by the Arrogant Worms. Our favourite album is Live Bait, released in 1997, and in honour of Canada Day, this Friday’s Tune is Canada’s Really Big…the classy orchestral version!

So stand up and be proud and sing out very loud
We stand out from the crowd ’cause Canada’s really big

Happy Friday!

It’s finally the weekend (and I know I wished you a happy weekend yesterday) but I firmly believe that even though every day seems the same, it’s still a good reason to get excited.

This Friday’s Tune is just for fun – because sometimes we just need to pop on the radio, dance around the living room and enjoy being alive! So throw on some flannel and live in the moment!

The Arrogant Worms are a group of university pals who began recording in 1991. The best way to describe their genre is as a group that paradies all genres. Many of their songs poke fun at various aspects of daily life in Canada. Their on-stage banter and interaction with the audience makes watching them in person a real delight. We went as a family to see their First Farewell Tour last November for Little Guy’s birthday, but without Little Guy. He was sick! 😦

She’ll drink you under the table
And steal your booster cables
Canadian girl!

Whether you’re working hard or hardly working, Happy Weekend!
