Thread Name: BS: Memories Of Expo 67
Subject: RE: BS: Memories Of Expo 67
`67 was also the year of Canada's Centennial celebrations so Expo was a big deal, I remember. I didn't go. I was only 6 and my Dad was on strike from the local steel mill that summer.

I do remember (though I've tried not to) that pukey Centennial theme song:

Ca - na- da (one, little two, little three Canadians)
We love thee (now we are twenty million)
Ca - na - da (four, little five, little six, little provinces)
Proud and free (now we are ten and the territories, sea to sea)

North! South! East! West! There'll be happy times
Church Bells will ring! ring! RING!
It's the hundredth ann-i-ver-sar-y of
CON-fed-er-a-tion (everybody sing together...)

Ca - na - da...



It's the song that never ends. They must play it in the inner rings of Hell.

We had a 45 record of it. I think they gave them away free somewhere.

Under gunpoint.
