I can't remember the horrifyingly bad Canadian TV show that SCTV is spoofing here, thank goodness.
Way funnier then SNL
That's funny. With a name like Rough Trade I thought that band would be gay men in leather.
funded by a Grant from the American Rifle Club 🙂
do they really say "small vaginas" at 0:15? omg lol
Oh my gosh! She is so young!
Fun fact:
Toronto band Goddo had a song called 'Oh Carol (kiss my whip)
Jeremy Clarkson got shorter
Rough Trade soooo good
I believe that this song was the first Black Death Metal track ever. The solo guitar part just blew out my speaker.
This might be the single weirdest segment of SCTV I’ve ever seen. :O
SCTV blew SNL out-of-the-water back in the day. It was untouchable creatively and had savagely talented actors. The show was a must-watch icon for young Canadians and it was inspiring. It made you proud to say you were from the Great White North. Rough Trade was a seriously awesome Toronto band, when you heard them live they had a heavier, funky sound which was never captured on a live album.
'cream' censored but 'bitch' was not…
The cast and writers of SCTV were so ahead of their time. This sketch was so adorable and clever, and they captured the innocence and “ goofiness” of teen life in the 1970s, perfectly. The contrast in presenting Carole Pope and Rough Trade as the musical guest was kind of hilarious, and a bit bizarre. Such an interesting time in pop culture.
Look! It's Kevin's mother!
Can’t believe it.Saw Rough Trade in a bar in Toronto in the ‘70’s.Fun fact: real words ,not for tv,were cream your jeans,not wet your jeans. After this song,and minor success they disappeared.No big loss
SCTV was brilliant. Skirting the edge of creepyness in this sketch, (how old do you think I am?) and always throwing in extra shots in the credits. (This show is funded by a grant from the American Rifle Club) The core of SCTV's appeal was how committed the players were to their roles playing even the more absurd sketches dead straight. Every SCTV player was successful after the show was over. Carole Pope and Kevin Staples band Rough Trade actually existed all the way from the late sixties to the late eighties. 80 to 83 were the most commercial years for them. High School Confidential was their most successful single. Pope was one of the first openly lesbian pop stars and was, for for a time Dusty Springfield's lover.
They blanked out screw and creamed but left in bitch?
Love that O'Haras character is called 'Alexis'. Meta before Meta was even a concept!
The people in that band all look like their in their 40s. andrea martin is brilliant btw.
I dont hate it… dont know if i should take this seriosly
Carol Pope unleashed. Literally.
SCTV had a limited run in New Mexico in the 70's I soaked up as much as I could get of Edith Prickly and Guy Cabbaerllo those were the daze
"Bondage or humiliation?"
It's almost weird how the show didn't play up the inappropriateness of the band for a pre-teen audience for laughs.
It was safer that way, not calling attention to it, I suppose?
When Rough Trade came along, I didn't know what to make of them. I loved this song; the vibe, groove and lyrics were amazing.
But, as a very naive young man, Carole Pope scared the shit out of me, and I wasn't quite sure why. There was something incredibly intense and menacing in the sexuality she brought to their music. It was only later that I learned what "rough trade" means, and then it all kind of came together.
Amazing that they were on SCTV, although I'm sure they knew Ian Thomas, Dave's brother, from the Canadian music scene at the time.
Cool clip, thanks for sharing!
