Hi All

I am new to this site and a pretty recent Hip fan. I was just curious to see if anyone knows what the term 'Blow at High Dough' means. Also, please feel free to explain any other terms which may seem to not make obvious sense. The strange lyrics and creative images Gord creates are a big part of why I love this band so much but any insight as to what is going on in his head would be much appreciated!!

Cheers
Suzie

Hey Suzie and welcome to hip base!!

there are some really great resources for song meanings, including this site - if you don't mind doing searches on specific topics and wading through all the threads. Alternatively, steven Dame's site, A Museum After Dark is probably the best song/lyric/meaning resource and it can be found here: http://www.hipmuseum.com/

Enjoy and welcome again!

And when yer done with that, people here are usually up for a debate about song meanings, or a round of fisticuffs, or both.

i saw an old interview with gord on muchmusic years ago, and they asked him what blow at high dough meant. i'm pretty sure he said it was something his mother used to say, which meant using all your stuff at once. these are my words i don't remember his exactly. it always made me think of some kid prematurely ejaculating(like american pie)
