    Might as well go for a soda
    Nobody hurts and nobody cries
    Might as well go for a soda
    Nobody drowns and nobody dies
    So, we're in one of our blue moons
    You wanna have it your way, I want it mine
    All this debating going around in a blue moon
    Makes me thirsty for love
    might as well go for a soda
    Nobody hurts and nobody cries
    (Might as well) might as well go for a soda
    Nobody drowns and nobody dies
    Life seems to be a bomb inside of your head
    Well, the bomb in my head is love
    All this debating going around in a blue moon
    Makes me thirsty for love
    might as well go for a soda
    Nobody hurts and nobody cries (nobody hurts, nobody cries)
    Might as well go for a soda
    Nobody drowns and nobody dies
    Might as well go for a soda
    It's better than slander, it's better than lies
    Might as well go for a soda
    Nobody hurts and nobody cries
    Might as well go for a soda
    Might as well go for a soda
    Nobody hurts and nobody cries
    Might as well go for a soda
    Nobody drowns and nobody dies
    Might as well go for a soda
    It's better than slander, it's better than lies
    Might as well go for a soda
    (Might as well, oh yeah)
    Might as well go for a soda (oh yeah, nobody hurts, nobody cries)
    Might as well go for a soda (oh yeah, nobody drowns, nobody dies)
    Might as well go for a soda (it's better than slander, it's better than lies)
    Might as well go for a soda

      They ARE big names. The drummer and lead singer are in Slash’s band, have been for years. The lead guitar player has been in Shania Twain’s band also for years. They’ve since added the drummer from the Japan supergroup Beezzz. That put the drummer in this video into bass guitar and the singer on rhythm guitar. Go see them live! Unbelievable! Also support them by downloading their covers and original stuff. All western Canadian lads by the way.

If you listen to the lyrics, there is no wonder that Kim wore a “CPP” hat = “Canadian Provincial Police”, to worn people about drunk boating, drunk driving etc. Don’t drink and drive. 🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻

    Best cover I've ever heard was a local band in Savannah, Ga back in the 80' & 90's 'Shut Up and Drive' with the legendary Beaver Felton on bass. The had 2 guitars and played a powerful version that still blows me away just thinking about it. There's a couple of versions here on YT on the drummer's channel, Mark Vaquer who also sang it, but since they're 30+ year old recordings they don't do it justice. It gave you goosebumps live!

      They write and have original material. But they have an enormous reputation for their work covering Canadian classic rock hits which is the bread and butter they tour the US and Canada with. These guys do a club or concert with each song as big and challenging as this one. The audience knows every song. They even do Rush to perfection. Kim Mitchell's music is a perfect choice for critique. The audience didn't know what they had in front of them. I always tell people, if you see Toque on the bill, bring energy drinks and GO! You are going to have a great rocking time!
