Gotta go with In View for this round. I like the song and it's catchy as hell. But it's really nothing more than a fun, simple, throw-away pop song that was obviously crafted specifically for radio. I imagine Bob Rock probably said "ok guys, write me a hit", and the band obliged him just for shits and giggles. And it worked.
The only hint that you're listening to a Hip song is during that wonderful bridge where the real Gord Downie emerges:
"In the Day Eraser's dark of night
In the Excited States, gone in plain sight
Under the wave or by cavelight
I lose, things change, but never in your eyes."
That's good stuff.
