It's the Ladies, but which song....one of their best IMO.

Okay. I give up. I can't figure it out. Although, thanks DJ for giving me the opportunity to listen to a bunch of BNL songs.

My favourite of their songs–although originally written and sung by Bruce Cockburn–is Lovers in a Dangerous Time.

The Barenaked Ladies were from the borough/city I grew up in, and their video for "Lovers in a Dangerous Time" features so many recognizable landmarks for me:

The Club Bingo (@ 0:07): Now Top Food Supermarket, was/is across the street from my high-school.

The Strip Mall (@ 0:25) with the Bell Repair truck and two adjacent billboards: used to have a bunch of stores that we used to frequent. One of them was this computer store that used to have bins full of AOL CDs!

As well, I forget what it was then, but the building with the two billboards is now a Goodwill.

The large park (@ 3:47): was my elementary school's field/park. I remember the first time I saw this video-I was still in elementary school at the time- freaking out because it was filmed there, thinking it was sooo cool. All those buildings you can see from the field were passed during my walk home...

I had forgotten about, "Lovers in a Dangerous Time". Excellent song.

The song I picked is, "What A Good Boy". Love it. It has to be my favorite, of all their songs.

Great choice for a song DJ. You know I'm pretty sure it was one of the songs I listened to, just didn't think the lyrics fit so I wrote it off... Doh!

I think the sentimental value of the video for "Lovers in a Dangerous Time" wins me over. It's just so cool seeing landmarks I see or used to see every day.

Here's another contribution by me, it's an easy one:

People often ask me just the way it must feel

To be standing up here with you down there

Let it now be known that throughout all of these years

I have been wearing polka dot underwear
