heh, anyone else ever had a moment where you've seen someone doing something from the Hip, be it quoting lyrics or a rant.
I was on the transit the other day, and the guy right across from me started going the "shhhhhhhhhhsound.....shhhhhhhhhsound" to himself very quietly. It was pretty funny. Wanted to talk to him but I had to get off the bus.
Anyways, any of you ever had a moment like such? Or ever been quoting and/or singing the Hip to yourself and made an ass of yourself somehow or had someone go "HEY! Thats a Tragically Hip song!"
I was on the subway in in Washington, DC last March and I was looking out the windows and at these apartments close to the tracks and the freeway (I "Sniper" 95). Then I started doing the "Double Suicide" rant. "The Apartment is cheap but we loose alot of sleep, in our apartment..."
It was funny, you had to be there....
I was travelling Europe a few years a go and I was in Stockholm Sweden and there was a busker playing boots or hearts. So i listened and threw a some kronor in his guitar case. I didnt make conversation I just enjoyed the moment.
Funny you should say that, I was at work the other day, previewing my Toronto tape and reading some reviews on the web, all the sudden this music catches my attention from the other room, my Lieutenant was watching a movie, the name escapes me maybe high times!? Samuel Jackson is in it a new movie, they are at a bar in the scene and the music playing sounds just like the hip!! I get up and go in to the room and was shocked to see it was a movie. Anyway, I am waiting to catch that movie and confirm that I am not crazy!! Computers, music, movies what a job I have!! LOL
Yep...it has happened at the gym..I was 'whisper-singing' louder than I thought...a guy recognized Grace Too
EAGS
i beleive that the movie that he was watching is probably "changing lanes"
my prof once slipped a whole bunch of lyrics from the henhouse album into a poetry assignment. he's not that much older than me, and we wound up just talking about the hip while he was supposed to be teaching. the next day, he gave me a copy of that roxy and elsewhere bootleg with the killerwhaletank and suicide monologues and i was started on hip bootlegs.
