Tough one. Much as it will madden KWT, I have to take extra factors into consideration here. I cannot hear The Darkest One without picturing the video, which is simply great and SO Gord, so no way am I voting for it. It's A Good Life is possibly my favourite song title in the Hip's catalogue, so it's out as well. That comes down to Dire Wolf and Dark Canuck, and as much as it pains me to vote against the song that contains one of the best Gord "whoo"'s of all time ("and get celebrity skin, woo!"), I think The Dire Wolf is the better song.

So I voted for Dark Canuck. As others have noted, the second half is MUCH better than the first. I do love the drive-in premiers line though and the aforementioned "WHOO". Tough call.
