50 Tracks with Jian Ghomeshi
One country...50 songs...a great all-Canadian list!
The final list will be posted at 6 p.m. Pacific Standard Time on Saturday March 26.
All winter long Jian Ghomeshi has been on a quest to come up with a great list of the 50 essential Canadian popular songs. For the last 10 weeks, Jian, the panellists and the audience have built the list 5 songs at a time. Thousands of calls and letters poured in each week. It's been an amazing debate. It's been about getting involved and fighting for your favourites in a spirit of fun and friendly competition. Canadians love their music and nothing divides or unites a country than a debate about essential songs.
You put the list in order with your votes. Now it's time to count down the 50 tracks.

Living in a boom time - Tom Robinson
Whatever happened to the old brigade
The hopes we had and the plans we made
Days and nights we spent together
Now those days are gone forever
Martin studied and he made the grade
Emigrated to the USA
Now he's working for Edison Con
On a research project, making a bomb
Ben's been selling retirement homes
Pinstripe whistle and a cellnet phone
Ripping off pensioners don't look good
If he didn't do it some other guy would
Pad those shoulders, swing those hips
Don't get angry, read my lips... we've all got
New opportunities... knock-knock-knocking in a boom time
New opportunities... Let's forget about the gloom time... these are your
New opportunities... knock-knock-knocking in a boom time
New opportunities... Let's forget about the doom time (soon time)
Margo's happy with her cats and dogs
Given up people as a total loss
Says dumb animals got no choice
Firebombs laboratories to give 'em a voice
Dave just privatised his council flat
Home owner, drop of a hat
Interest went up, he couldn't pay
Big corporation gonna take it away
Shrug those shoulders, let's get hip
Don't get angry, read my lips... we've all got
New opportunities... knock-knock-knocking in a boom time
New opportunities... Let's forget about the gloom time... these are your
New opportunities... knock-knock-knocking in a boom time
New opportunities... Let's forget about the doom time (soon time)
Jamie's working out at the gym
No more dangerous living for him
Given up alcohol and ecstasy
Ever since he diagnosed HIV
No more parties, no more trips
Wise up suckers, read my lips... these are your
New opportunities... knock-knock-knocking in a boom time
New opportunities... Let's forget about the gloom time... these are your
New opportunities... knock-knock-knocking in a boom time
New opportunities... Let's forget about the doom time (soon time)
Mr Jones - Counting Crows (did I mention I'm loving MS MediaPlayer v10?)
