We know that Canada is a bit behind in trends, music, fashion and such but didn’t this song come out in like 85, eh?
Not that far behind since it was released in Canada when it was released everywhere else. There are a few oldies radio stations that no doubt play the song on occasion. The album was one of the very early cd releases when cds and cd players were first appearing.
So we still have a few years before Canada 'discovers' rap/hip hop and the 'N' word.
