It was done in 1991. That was the last time.

It wasn't a regular part of their repetoire... but a soundboard recording of it was included on the Nautical Disaster CD single, and it's notoriety and popularity soared after its inclusion on radio playlists across the country.

Hmmm... I listened to my single this morning, and it has Killerwhaletank on it... When I get home tonight I'll double check that I took the CD out of the right case.

Oh-No. I smell a fight a brewing.
The FAQ for Hipbase says this:
KWT is on the B-Side of the Long Time Running single.

Still picking up the elderly from the floor, still dealing with the drunks, now wrestling seals and posting it on twitter.. @richardilderton
'Whoops' is not a word the patient wants to hear...apparently

It looks like the KWT version is available on more than one album...
Nautical Disaster single (pending confirmation)
Long Time Running single
Locked In The Boot 12" single
Twist My Arm promo
Cordelia EP
Either way, I think that this helps explain the popularity of this rant.

I love the Killer Whale Tank version and was glad to get it from Napster back in the good ole Napster days...
I first saw The Hip in Philly in '91 and Gord did a rant in the middle of New O saying something like...
"I had a job before this....I was a, I was a...a vibrator. I was all pink and prickly and people used me for pleasure..."
My friends & I had never seen The Hip before and our jaws dropped... Anyone ever hear Gord rant like that or was it a 1 night rant?

For anyone interested, specifically newer members, I have an ongoing "Get The Hip" initiative running at
Scottitude.Net.
NOIS - "Killerwhaletank" and Highway Girl - "Double Suicide" are both currently available for download or listening. I'll be offering more choice live and unreleased tracks regularly.
