Bob and Doug McKenzie in Bob & Doug McKenzie – Take Off
In the video Bob & Doug McKenzie – Take Off, Bob and Doug McKenzie are a pair of hilarious Canadian brothers who starred in “Great White North”, a program which was aired on SCTV – second city television for the show’s third season when it got sent to CBC Television in the 1980s. Bob’s part is created by the funny Rick Moranis and the character Doug is played by actor Dave Thomas. The bit was developed originally as a joke to both fulfill and makes jokes about annoying Canadian content guidelines, the two grew up to be a pop culture hit in both Canada and the USA. The pair went on to become the focus of a classic comedy album, The Great White North, in 1981.
The brothers Bob & Doug McKenzie are actually actors Rick Moranis and Dave Thomas, who created the characters for their Great White North sketch on the Canadian comedy show Second City Television. In 1981, the characters released their own comedy album, which spawned this hit single. While not actually a song, but more of spoken dialogue sandwiched in between a chorus sung by Geddy Lee, it works beautifully; this was one of my favorites of 1981, and I particularly like the way their sketch’s “Coo loo coo coo, coo coo coo coo” theme was incorporated into the track. Take Off peaked at #16 on Billboard’s Hot 100 chart in 1982.

Ironically a bigger hit than Thomas' brother, legit musician Ian Thomas, ever had.
I tried to explain to my grandchildren that this was once "a thing" which was really popular in both Canada and the United States and they didn't believe me. Maybe they should have watched "Brother Bear" first.
And a Happy 70th Birthday to Geddy Lee today 🙂
It's a beauty, eh?
I've just noticed something strange happens at 1:20. I can't put my finger on it but listening to the drums behind the guitar solo it almost sounds like they're out of time or the multitrack is not in-sync
this brought on so many memories…wow…
Great Canadian iconic culture …… we get it , most don't ….. this is as iconic as Hockey Night in Canada , NHL Showdown , SCTV , The Friendly Giant , Tiny Talent Time , The Hilarious House of Frankenstein , The Littlest Hobo , Beachcombers , North of 60 , Electric Circus , Much Music , Chum , Q107 and Canadian Tire …… and a lot of others ….. this is how old I am …… will be 60 in December ….. and the night/dance clubs in Toronto I can name too ……
To dang retro Now eh
I had completely forgotten about this song for years. I had it on a cassette back in the day. Glad I found it again. Very funny song
I'm an American here because of Forge Side Chat. I was upset when I realized it was a song but now, by the end, I take it back. Good day, eh? Ya hoser
Not On Spotify!
OH TAKE OFF EH
Odd… hearing half of it was enough!
They should have played this for the wake up call on SpaceX Demo-2, flown by Bob and Doug.
This should be the official song for all Canada tourism videos.
The Hoser natl anthemn dedicated to all the beer and back bacon loving hoseheads.
Hey you guys..TAKE OFF!!!!!!!
This made me cry. What great times we had back then before smart phones and Rap music destroyed society.
Sounds like Randy Newman’s on piano.
“ I Love L.A” opening.
Does anyone recall the Bob & Doug Mackenzie movie? I thought not!
A great skit does not always equate to a full length film; think the Coneheads.
Nossa, que saudade.. Obrigado por postar!
Simpsons anyone?
As an adult,, I find this way too corny….This came out exactly the same time that "Jam Boxes" were becoming THEE thing. A sunny summer in a small Pennsylvania town, somewhere……..in the Twilight Zone.
The Simpsons S13E11
Classic! LOL!
