THE TRAGICALLY HIP - 'Bobcaygeon'

Cherchez La Moose: It took me a long time to warm up to the Tragically Hip when I was a teenager. The slightly twangy sound from their early albums never appealed to me. I was all geared up to dislike Bobcaygeon when it first hit MuchMusic, but I fell in love with it instead. If this song came out 20 years from now, I have a feeling it would be just as good. The video compliments the music perfectly, and the extended embrace at 3:19 is one of my all-time favorite music video moments.
