Also, can't forget when Gord went off on this guy in the pit at the Landmark show during the Evening With Tour in the middle of Poets...
"Is there some kind of unrest in the pit? Please, I want to know what's wrong. Please tell me. Because I can't go on with the show when you keep giving me the finger. It has an effect, how could it not? I could try to ignore you, but that's not the ticket you bought. (Clever how he rhymed...haha) Your friend, young Castro, where did he go? That's how Milosovic started...DON'T TELL ME WHAT THE POETS ARE DOIN...."
It was classic, how he incorpprated it into the song, and poked fun at the guy whose friend got the boot earlier for acting like a jacka**.

Mine would probably when Gord goes off in the Heksenketel video. I know most of you probably know what I'm talking about. It's when one of the people in the crowd run onto the stage. Gord says " He was my man, He was my responsiblity, He was my man, I should have tripped him and I'm sorry." It goes something like that. :lol: Go Hip :thumb:

Yeah that is a great one! :lol: It really made me laugh! :thumb:
My personal favourite is a fairly new one. I LOVE the rant he does during Grace at the skydome show. He goes on for about 21/2 min. I'm sure you have all heard it! Yeah that's gotta be my favourite. Especially the show he does while paddling in the canoe.
Also the rant from poets and Bobcaygeon from the same show are also very good and quite enjoyable! :lol:

God...what a great thread! Every reply made me smile and laugh outloud! It's what makes the hip so great. It's so hard to explain this shit to people that don't know them. The fans, the gordisms...and of course the music..thanks and God love every one of you!

Yeah, doesn't gord do the canoe thing like in more than one show. I know I've seen it live a couple of times. He did it at the Blues festival show and the Burlington show I think. I also love when he takes the mic stand and throws it and grabs it. :thumb:

"white supremecists and braless women - we're lookin' for both."
Something about the day just made me say that. [points to people sitting on a steep hill in the back of the crowd] People at 25 degree grade - we salute you. It's not easy to plant your bum at 25 degrees. You get the G-string - you get the thong action. because there's no way to sit on a grade that steep, and not have it start to ride."
Unless you go face first
On your stomach
Or your side."
"he said, 'I'm tragically hip'!"

This is the topic that was linked to in my "locked" thread that is supposed to be discussing the same thing. It's not.
This is simply favorite Gordism's and rants. My topic asked which do you sing a long to. I have many favorite rants, but I don't sing them when I listen to the song. Shit, I love the skidoo rant during 100th at the Chicago 98 concert, but I don't sing it everytime I hear the song.
Do you see the difference Highlander?
Perhaps you can see to it to unlocking my thread and let people respond as they like.

It is a Gordisms/Rant discussion thread similar to what yours was. I'm sure you can make your thread fit into this one.

Just to keep Highlander happy, here is my original post that was locked down. I feel it is different than the context of this thread, but there isn't much I can do in the way of this.
Do you guys catch yourself singing typical Gord phrases when you listen to the songs...either the album version or live? I do it all the time.
Examples:
Poets - "Bring out yer dead"
Blow - "Same Ann Margaret thing"
Blow - "Into that boxing ring"
NOIS - "She said Georgie baby I know exactly what you mean"
My Music At Work - "La la la la, etceterra"
And then there are a few that may not be typical, but I like them so much I sing them anyways...
ABAC - I'll sing "Pink Moon" at the end as Gord has done numerous times
Vapour Trails - I prefer the pre-Phantom Power version that they sing in Utrecht, 1997 so much that I'll sing those lyris instead
also with Vapour Trails, I always say "truth be told" after "there's nothing uglier than a man hitting his stride", which Gord says from the Milwaukee 98 show.
I know I can't be alone in this.
