I've only heard this song live once, in 2003 or 2004 when the Hip were rehearsing some material for IBE as the fictional band THE FIGHTER FIGHTERS.
The song Fighter Fighter is pretty decent, has single-potential even - and gets stuck in my head alot, especially when
I've watching coverage of hockey fights - but has never been released, even as some kind of bonus track.
I'm betting on the next Hip album being IBE-esque, that is, rock/alt-country sounding with minimal studio trickery... a straight-ahead throw-back rock album, if you will (seems like the kind of left-turn the guys would take after two very-produced albums) - this of course assuming there isn't a Gord solo album released before the next Hip album, an eventuality which would shake up the dynamic I have in mind... Anyhoo... Just wanted to exclaim my love for this track. Here's hoping it has a future (especally for francophone fans, for those familiar with the lyrics).
