[RIP] Stompin Tom Conners has passed away

Is it really that hard to believe that somebody from the most closed-off of provinces has never heard a song in another language?  Do you think that North Koreans know what's topping the charts right now in Japan?

I'm sorry, do you know who Ariane Moffat is?

[viper37]

It's as ubiquitous as "Take Me Out to the Ball Game" is to baseball.

Ah, this one I know.  And I'm not a fan of baseball

As I said, the first time I heard the song was on that show:
Power Play

Aside that, I think maybe I heard it during a Sens game, can't be sure.  Never knew the author though.

Yes, because people in Quebec never, ever watch Canadian hockey games. It's just not done.

I mean really, you'd have to be deaf, dumb and blind never to have heard the hockey song.

And I'm not a fan of baseball

To be fair it is pretty hard to be a fan of baseball what with all that pitching and catching and men swinging their bats.

Meh it is not baseball's fault you used its terminology.  It does make me glad the gay men who put together this slang were clearly baseball fans.

[garbon]

I've no issue with baseball. Games are fun in person.

yes, just like Stompin Tom.

But not really, since Stompin' Tom was a national figure.

[katmai]

Who is this person and why should we care?

Ok, just name one french song that plays during a hockey game.  Because you sure are not deaf, dumb and blind, aren't you?

[viper37]

Who is this person and why should we care?

some local folk singer, apparently, he is well known in anglo-land.

Now, that's where you error lies. Thinking that Quebec & Canada share national figures.
