Bob and Doug McKenzie in Canadian Acts – Jimmy’s Records & Tapes
In the video Canadian Acts – Jimmy’s Records & Tapes, Bob and Doug McKenzie are a couple of hilarious Canadian actors who starred in “Great White North”, a show which was televised on SCTV for the show’s most liked season when it was featured on the Canadian Broadcasting Channel in the year 1980. Bob’s partThe character Bob is performed by actor Rick Moranis and Doug’s character is brought to life by the comedian Dave Thomas. Which was made originally as an idea to both please and makes jokes about legal Canadian content legislation, the characters turned into a pop culture hit in both Canada and America. The McKenzie siblings later became the focus of a hit comedy album, The Great White North, in 1981.
Ah yes, America’s Hat, the Great White North, it’s time for Jimmy’s favorite five+ Canadian Acts. And for #jimmyschoice: Triumph v. Whitesnake!
Each week, comedian Jimmy Pardo talks music and memory. Jimmy recollects personal stories, key events, and other nostalgia from his favorite vinyl, cassettes, 8-tracks, and more!

"Maybe he has truck with me." Truck is the best.
Check out The Tea Party, great song writing. Like Led Zeppelin meets the Doors.
None of these acts, except maybe Joni Mitchell, have any songs remotely as good as "Takin' Care of Business" and "You Ain't Seen Nothin' Yet". "Let It Ride" is pretty dang good too. Go BTO! Also, maybe Jimmy doesn't know The Guess Who very well, because "These Eyes", "Laughing", and "Undun" all seem like they'd be right in his wheelhouse. And of course "American Woman" is one of the all-time great songs.
No April Wine, Loverboy or Bryan Adams is bonkers.
In terms of the Whitesnake vs.Ratt, there was no question. Ratt had some catchy songs, but Whitesnake had catchy songs too with the trump card of Coverdale's voice. So there was no suspense at all on who the choice was. I was 12 in 1987, so I'm familiar with both bands. I guess you can compare them in terms of their legacy. Ratt's "Round and Round", again a catchy song is used only for commercials kind of as a joke. Whtiesnake's "Here We Go Again" is pretty much a karaoke staple. It's a great song.
Great list, but… no Aldo Nova?
That Canadian Axe made me blurt laugh, great job Elliot!
Jimmy, ever listen to Sloan? Fantastic Canadian band I think you’d love. “Everything You’ve Done Wrong” sounds like a homage to Chicago. But check out their record Navy Blues, ya gotta dig, man.
As a Canadian who doesn't like The Tragically Hip, I really hope Jimmy enjoys them.
Gino?! But not BTO or The Guess Who… And Neil Young is not the best
Needs more Hip 😉
Thanks for showing Canada some love. I have seen you and NNF live in Toronto twice. Looking forward to you and Matt visiting us again.
I’m honestly a bit shocked that April Wine didn’t make the list.
Jimmy's eyes adopt the exact color of his (incredible) t-shirt. What a dreamboat
Triumph!
Really love all the sidebars on this one. Can't wait to see Jimmy do standing up comedy again!
You must find Darin and apologize… you have to. It's just the right thing to do.
Loved this episode! No you left out Loverboy and Honeymoon Suite and Aldo Nova and April Wine and BTO and Tom Cochrane and Max Webster and (gulp) Anne Murray but you redeemed yourself with TRIUMPH!!!!! Loved that Saga made the cut as well. Completely agree with your assessment of RATT vs. Whitesnake.
that photo of Jimmy and Triumph is UHMAZING!
Always look forward to these dropping!
I want Jimmy to start saying "New Orleans is sinking man, and I don't wanna swim" in his Jimmy Pardo way. Another great episode!!
Is Jim gonna go around the world? UK next? Lookin good, Mr. Pardo
Can't believe Bryan Adams isn't on this list. I understand the ones on it after being a long time listener of NNF, but Bryan should be on it. He was who I wanted to marry when I was 15 when Cuts Like A Knife came out.
Those are all good choices. However, I simply must include Loverboy. Same band (with one exception) after 41 years, great catalog, still put on a rocking show, and Mike Reno is a great guy.
Also, Whitesnake is wayyyyy better than Ratt.
Damn Jimmy this Corey Hart story is hilarious!
Apparently deep dive week at Jimmy's R&T
Honourable mention: Dave Thomas’s brother, Ian Thomas (“Painted Ladies”, “Pilot”)
I tap like even before I finish the video. I just know immediately that it's gonna be great.
