These guys weren't a one hit wonder. They had several tunes that were radio regulars if you lived near the Canadian border. "Things I do for Money" is still played from time to time. Wish I could have seen them play live.

I spent a lot of time in Canada in the summer of 1990 and listened to a lot of local radio. This was one of my favorites from that time. Thanks for the memories

I always have loved these guys too. I heard this song on the radio before CBC broadcast a live NP session that I recorded on a BETA tape a Long Time Ago. Since then, I've had the indignity of running into a similar woman, and this has become somewhat of a theme song. Gotta love the Northern Pikes.

@roisoleil10 - It wasn't marketing, it was American radio's unwillingness to play Canadian bands. Since the 1970s, the CTRC required radio stations to play 33% Canadian music, the "Canadian content" law. A lot of bad music got played, but it forced record companies to put money into developing Canadian talent. Unfortunately, US radio then *and* now thinks "they only get played because of CanCon". A lot of great bands never get airplay south of the border because of it. .

Saskatoon best rock band-The Northern Pikes. Their cd-Snow In June is tops!. A newer Cd of theirs-Truest Inspiration is better than a classic cd, it's great. CBC do some real Canadiana - televise a Northern Pike concert. Larry
