Jet, your fellow Canuck Norm MacDonald educated the US to Doug and the Slugs "Too Bad", when he used it as the theme to his TV show.
I liked it better than the Barenaked Ladies, but when it comes to quirky rock and the Great White North, I prefer Odds. Unfortunately Odds released their strongest album ever and then promptly broke up. I think I'm one of about 10,000 people in the US who cared.
As to the previous question, nobody wanted to take on my followup questions and so I have had to answer them for myself.
The Most Perfect Rock Song Ever has to be simple. It has to be straight-forward, honest, and come from the gut (as opposed to the brain). But most importantly, it has to speak of the heartbreak of a member of the appropriate sex who has left prematurely.
And so, the Most Perfect Rock Song Ever is the dB's "Amplifier".
<i>Danny went home and killed himself last night
She'd taken everything
She'd taken everything
She took his car
She took his bike
She took everything
She thought he liked
And what she couldn't take, she found a way to break
But she left his amplifier
