Thank you Steven
We both came here because of the same man.
Same here
Same here fella’s
Same here
Yes Mr Crowder.. thank you
Love Strange Animal 🎶 especially when Gowan says “Ominous Spiritus.”
Animus spiritus*
Latin for mind and spirit
@@eins2001it’s ominous not animus
Another great Canadian performer from the 80’s, Larry Gowan is an amazing artist. I’ve been a fan since the very beginning. Strange Animal started as an “ear worm” a few days ago. Now I can finally go to sleep … with Gowan reverberating in my brain … 🇨🇦🖖🏻🇨🇦
I've had the same earworm as well this week. We're a strange animal. NB
@@woodchucker And proud of it … aren’t we? 🇨🇦🖖🏻🇨🇦
@@Momcat_maggiefelinefan 😊Absolutely
I need this song today because the last few days have been rough.
@@Nepzer1 Sorry you’re having a rough day. Some great Canadian music will help. Take care and let’s hope things will improve. 🇨🇦🖖🏻🇨🇦
Gowan rocks! Perhaps the most underrated Canadian artist of all time.
He hasn't gotten anywhere near the recognition he deserves!
🥰🫶💫
He is from England
Sadly, they are nearly all underrated
Calm down
Hope Gowan getting some royalties for that TD Super Bowl commercial sampling this song, anybody else catch that?
This beautiful trainwreck. Crowder knew we needed this
why is Gowan a trainwreck? He rocks. Why is Steve Crowder brought into this?
@@wiscorpio72 I said beautiful trainwreck, but this comment was a yr ago. I honestly dont remember what I was thinking. I first heard the song on Louder with Crowder.
@silent_soliliquy funny Crowder would use Gowan. I first heard him on MuchMusic when this channel aired MuchMusic and his music went on Degrassi Junior High. A lot of good music in Canada was never released in the US.
@@wiscorpio72 Right. He was born in Michigan, but raised in Canada, so probably why. I was only 3yrs old when the song was released.
@silent_soliliquy he was born in Glasgow, Scotland, immigrated to Scarborough, Ontario. I was 12 when this single was released but I didn't see a Gowan video or heard a song until a year later when my local TV station aired MuchMusic and I wondered why doesn't MTV play his videos? He's so good.
Saw him play in the parking lot for free 1985 Ottawa !🤘
i would have said i do not like this song as a kid, but the wheel turns , and as surely as a canadian you will shovel forty feet of snow from your driveway each winter , so too does the nostalgia for my childhood and i find that the songs that were on radio all the time , have become the background music to my life story . So here i am enjoying a classic song i never liked , and find myself thinking this was pretty good . maybe im just nostalgia drunk , either way , i am enjoying it now. .... man i would have laughed so hard at myself now as a kid .
i also wasn't into this as a kid but now at 45 i like it!
I gotta say, Gordys Home was my favorite 90s sitcom. This was a great theme song, still a bop!
This is 100% the pinnacle of Canadian music videos. Bravo!
For years I thought this guy was Australian! Hahahahaha
p.s. Canada = FLA and Skinny Puppy for me.
You haven’t seen Kim Mitchell’s “Go For a Soda”, I take it. Transcendent.
@@jmparker78love this song 🙌🏼
nah celine dion is
If you never saw this video, you wouldn't know the guy is playing a Chapman Stick instead of the bass. Cool!!
Just got home from seeing him at Rock the River Saskatoon! It was awesome. He kicked ass!🤘🏼🇨🇦
I saw Gowan and Spoons together in the 80s. Simpler times, when the biggest worry was getting nuked.
was everyone oddly siting down at the concert. ? that was weird.
@@Styphonwe never worried about that either tbh
@@thedeadguymore comfortable for sure
Most underrated song of all time
Seeing him tonight in Calgary!🎉
How was it?
Man if I knew he was in Calgary I would have gone.
@@wayne6777just check his website online
The ultimate mullett...😊😊😊 Thanks Larry...❤❤❤
The intro of my favorite 90s sitcom, The last episode was a smash hit.
What sitcom
@@mattluszczak8095 The one from the movie Nope.
😂😂😂😂 I love it
Those were the real days not the f -up world we live in now
LMAO!!! You think the 80s were perfectly smooth sailing?
Lol no, it was the same as it is now, they just didn't have the Internet. You must have been a child in the 80s to remember it like you do. :)
The 80s were definitely better though - more fun. More happiness. More optimism, it was a very optimistic decade.
@@JMunchen-wf2yjyeah if you were a straight white guy
@@JMunchen-wf2yjNo. Regan's drug war was claiming the lives of innocents, HIV was running rampant and was called a "gay virus" (thus making hate crime skyrocket), cocaine was EVERYWHERE, people spent more than they had...
Very talented is understatement
💯💯💯
im a big styx fan but not keen on the gowan years,but heard this on louder with crowder and was like oh its gowans solo stuff? i love it!
Peter Gabriel's backing band, Some great songwriting chops. Gowan joined Tony Levin and his band a few times to do versions of Gabriel songs
No wonder it sounds so much like an upbeat "Games without frontiers!"
I didn't know this. Makes sense though. I love Gowan and Gabriel. Cheers.
I’m 48 and I just discovered this gem via a current movie. Such a good song!
I discovered it watching Louder With Crowder.
@@johnscottyward4588 thats where i found this lol, he made a cool intro with it
What movie?
@@annablueheaven1497 probably Nope
Wolfcop? >.>
As long as you deliver it with confidence, you can call it rock n roll lol
😁
@@corysean533 who is narrating the video
Klaus Nomi showed us that 🙂
Searched for this tune after hearing it on louder with crowder ❤
This tune is the shit when you are stoned thanks for sharing 🤘🎤🎸🐺
Mostly loved about This Awesome tune was the Awesome Athleticism he used to perform.. Definitely NEED your music like An Animal!! Great upbost for my Gymnastic/Dance Niece's n Nephew♥️♥️♥️☺️
The bass sounds amazing.
Always does when the iconic Tony Levin plays on stuff-as he has been for many decades!
Go listen to/watch "Waiting Man" by King Crimson Live at Frejus 82. Levin on the Chapman stick is a thing of beauty.
Was in University when this came out. Loved it.
I was 14 and loved it. The eighties and Canada produced some great music.
This totality fits for Crowder. Crazy how things work out.
I used to play this album at the House of Lords in St Catharines...all the time.
Catchy tune, cool video and yes Steven Crowder is what brought me originally to this video.😎👍
You should probably stop watching that brain rot
@@MasDouc
Nah... I like getting actual information and facts as well as have it delivered in a humorous way... But hey thanks for your concern 😎👍
@@MasDouc Steven Crowder is very informative, and he's hilarious.
@@samspade8830 he's trash who peddles disinformation to the lowest common denominator
I just realized how little of this song I actually know. I want to blame Steven Crowder and I do, but it's also on me because I never listened to this song in it's entirety. I am SO happy I did.
what did he say about this exactly
@@RedStrikerBeetleborg Nothing, but this song is his intro song.
@@cleverusername4821 well he is a strange animal and Canadian
And it's a banger @@cleverusername4821
80's baby!
Louder with crowder 🎶
Only 164k views. This is pure art. Why do I feel normal watching it?
The nostalgia...***sighs..❤❤❤❤
Crowder needs to get Gowan on his show.
A winsor lad Gowen was great
Played with Styx also😎👍🇨🇦
Man be Airbending there.
Well this is now my morning routine song. 😊
It's so cheesy I love it!
Cheesy? More like jammin son
@@ThereEbumpin amen on that papa

Ominous Spiritus

Voice over at the beginning dance animation definitely says "fuck yeah"
Crowders childhood song that he loved
I did not realise there was a narrator on his biggest hits videos, awesome
Another Wolfcop brought me here. 👍
His voice reminds me of Geddy Lee
I just listened to this again on a whim at work and forgot how fun and silly it was.
@@Joey_Lance oh it absolutely is, but it’s not exactly the most serious song out there. And there’s nothing wrong with that.
I thought this song was from the 90's. It's actually much older. Ah! I knew it. My brother owes me a beer!
As a teenager this was my song...
GORDY'S HOME!
hell yeah
Too think that years later he would be in STYX
Louder with Crowder!!
Crowder brought this out of the dust forgot this song.
omnibus spiritus!
♤Wolfcop 2 yall!♤ Best former dollar now buck twenny fi store purchase ever.
Louder with Crowder & The Mud Club brought me here. 👍
And the best part is Gowan was of course a member of one of the best bands Ever STYX! ,who only get a bad rap from "Cynical Assholes" 🤷♂️
Big Daddy reference duly noted
was? still is
When I heard this song on the radio earlier today, I thought it was by Rush at first. (Please excuse me, I'm 23.)
Backed by Peter Gabriel's band; Tony Levin, David Rhodes and Jerry Marrota !
In the studio not in the video !
Came here cuz of crowder
💯 me too
Me 3
Me 4.
Nice video, 👍🌹
1:30
Who’s listening to this in 2024?
Me too
Remember on 'The Empire Strikes Back' -
Gowan: Steven (Crowder) I Am Your Father.
Steven Crowder: No, No - That's Not True, That's Impossible!
#StevenCrowder
He told me that I was a strange animal, then he sent me this
Was he classically trained?
Yes he studied piano at the Royal Conservatory of Music.
Civilization?
I'll stay right here.
You know why you're here. I know why I'm here
1:29 is why you're here. Don't lie. It's OK we're all here
This song fights like hell.
Haha, me too. "How do I KNOW this song?"
I'm here because I heard it on the radio earlier.
Damn right my guy!!!
Lyrics
Well they say I should approach you
With caution
But not to let you be aware of my fear
Never know what you'll find (never know what you'll find)
Don't understand your kind 'round here
Watching your moves
They look so radical
Hearing your words
They sound fanatical
Something inside reveals you're magical
How can I get enough
You're a strange animal
That's what I know
But you're a strange animal
I've got to follow
They've been trying to stick a line
In your system
Analysing the defenses you hold
Trying to open wide (trying to open wide)
Hoping to step inside your soul
But everything here is unfamiliar
Nothing they've seen remotely similar
How can it be you're so peculiar
How can I get enough
You're a strange animal, that's what I know
But you're a strange animal, I've got to follow
I've got to follow
I've got to follow
Oh-oh-oh...
How can I get enough
You're a strange animal, that's what I know
But you're a strange animal, I've got to follow
Oh ominous spiritus
You're a strange animal, that's what I know
But you're strange animal, I've got to follow
You're a strange animal, that's what I know
But you're a strange animal, I've got to follow
Oh ominous spiritus
You're a strange animal, that's what I know
But you're a strange animal, I've got to follow
Ominus Spiritus et ergo
Dominus Spiritus
Are Canadians that bad …Mr Crowder… 👻
❤❤❤❤
Finally I found it from Steven Crowder.
Canada........
Always think steven crowder even though i remeber this song from a kid.
How is this not 80s rock
Crowder brought me here.
Those were the real days not the democrap dystopia we live in now
He had a mullet like Paul King of King and Bono of U2.
