• 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.

• 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!

• 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?

• "Bondage or humiliation?"

• 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
