Ep 501 - Special - The Greatest Canadian Songs ever!

We kick off Season 5 with a special Canada Day episode!  It’s the stories behind some of the biggest Canadian hits of all time – told by the artists themselves. Geddy Lee of Rush explains how Neil Peart changed a song called “Louie The Warrior” into "Tom Sawyer". Tom Cochrane witnesses tragedy and writes his most celebratory song. Carly Rae Jepsen talks about (and sings) "Call Me Maybe". Ed Robertson explains why the biggest hit by Barenaked Ladies was pretty much an accident. We also find out the stories behind the Canadian classics “Takin’ Care Of Business”, “Echo Beach” and “Oh What A Feeling”. And how Shawn Mendes dug deep for a song about mental illness that came from a very personal place.  Plus, Tom asks co-host Christopher Ward about writing one of the biggest Canadian rock hits of all time.
