Songs introduced with fake names. - Gortron - 07-24-2006
i've heard a bunch of these and find them interesting.
when gord says "this is called..." or "this song is about..." then makes something cool up.
i liked when they were at woodstock and when they started playing poets gord said the song was called "in hindustan where we stopped to rest our weary caravan."
or sometimes he will introduce the band as a different name. give your fav examples of these types of things. and i don't mean when he starts the song with a rant, only when he actually says "this song is called..." or something like that.

"This song is called Blow Me!" is my favourite intro for Blow At High Dough.
"This song is called, 'The Luminous Veil'" was used to intro IAGLIYDW at The Hummingbird in 2002. "The Luminous Veil" is the thing that the City of Toronto constructed on the Bloor Viaduct to prevent people from committing suicide by jumping off it. WikiPedia link

My favourite would be- "This song is called Flag on your knapsack"- introducing 50 Mission Cap at ARA 1993, at the Markham Fairgrounds.

"This song is called, 'The Luminous Veil'" was used to intro IAGLIYDW
what is IAGLIYDW?
Never mind I just figured it out, I don't know why it took me so long. It's a Good Life If You Don't Weaken
my favourite intro to a song is
"No Canadian band! No Canadian band would be complete without a song about a Nautical Disaster. This is a song about a Nautical Disaster, and it's called "Nautical Disaster".
Now can anyone guess which song this is? :lol:

Another one from Hummingbird '02...
"Use It Up....or, Fuckyeah, Go! Fuckyeah, Go!"
A favourite of mine...

Which show was it where Gord introduced (I think) New Orleans Is Sinking as "Jurassic Park"....possibly ARA Markham '93?
