The Great White North (album)
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 by Anthem Records and distributed in the United States by Mercury Records. 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.
“Take Off”
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.
