“Decent singing Eh? Yeh. He’s good”.
The Great White North is a Canadian comedy album by the fictional television characters Bob and Doug McKenzie (portrayed by actors Rick Moranis and Dave Thomas), released in 1981. The title is a nickname for Canada, also used as the title of a Second City Television (SCTV) sketch featuring Bob and Doug. This album’s release tied in with SCTV at the height of the characters’ popularity, and a still from the show is on its cover. In its sleeve is a newspaper parody called The Daily Hoser.
At least one million copies of the album were sold in North America, 350,000 of these in Canada alone, which earned a triple-platinum certification from the Canadian Recording Industry Association.
The Great White North entered the RPM Canadian album charts at #3 on December 12th,1981 and rose to the #1 position the following week where it remained until January 23rd 1982. Overall, RPM ranked the album #40 of albums released in Canada during 1981. It peaked at number 8 on the American Billboard 200 album chart in 1982.
The song “Take Off” (identified on the album as “the hit single section”), features guest vocalist Geddy Lee of Rush, an elementary schoolmate of Moranis. In it he utters the line, “Yeah, um, I, you know, ten bucks is ten bucks”, after a reminder of his deal with the brothers’ lawyer. It was a hit, peaking at number 16 on the Billboard 100 singles chart in March 1982, five spots higher than Rush’s then-most popular U.S. song, “New World Man”, had. It reached #14 on the Cash Box chart and #5 on WLS-AM in Chicago.
In 1983, it was nominated for the Grammy Award for Best Comedy Album, but lost to Richard Pryor: ‘Live on the Sunset Strip’.
