29. "Take Off" by Bob and Doug McKenzie (and Geddy Lee)
There is no other album that takes me back to the winter of my sophomore year in high school like "The Great White North." In fact, if I were to listen to this album while playing foosball and drinking root beer, I would actually time travel to December of 1981. And the first thing I'd probably do is listen to this album while playing foosball and drinking root beer. The second thing I'd probably do is go snowmobiling at the Big Onion with all my friends. The third thing I'd probably do is play Donkey Kong. That would be a good day, eh?!
While "Take Off" is not a musical masterpiece, it is the highest charting single for Geddy Lee, and, dare I say, for Bob & Doug McKenzie too. Now there may be some folks who would say that Bob & Doug are fictional characters, so they couldn't actually have a highest charting single. But don't listen to those people. They're evil hosers, just like the most evil of all evil movie villains--Brewmeister Smith.
Okay, so that's our topic for the day. So, good day!
