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
What a flaccid crowd. Those guys killed it.
They're not real people, just cardboard cut outs!
The crowd had Soda. Duh.
Fuck yes they did!
That's such an unflattering word flaccid lol.
Kim Mitchell and the boys would be proud.
Guitarist shreds
I agree with the title; this is the best cover! Very well done, guys. I'm watching this in February 2024. Again, great job!
And the original is spectacular!
This is a more talented band than most big names out there.
You got that right. Them boys were cookin 3 piece at that. I'd like to see them cover some other stuff.
@@michaelmcdonnell2330 check out their albums if you haven't yet. search Toque Rocks
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.
Search UA-cam Toque~ On the Loose~ Saga~ Winnipeg, Canada 4K Nov 4 2022. To see them as a 4 piece. Lots of their live stuff here
Final Score: Band-A+ Crowd-F that was a stellar rendition! Love that tune...
Agree 😂
I diggit! I'm in my living room BANGING MY HEAD!!!!
The front rRow?
nothing😂🤘
Damn, that snare drum is hitting hard!! Love it.
DAMN! Gotta feel better after hearing this, kids!
You’re right. Excellent cover. 🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻
Outstanding, Boys!!
I just wanna get drunk and stoned and listen to toque.
Damn the lead singer's voice is ridiculously good!
I have to listen to Kim Mitchell a couple of times a year, whether I need it or not. Was totally thrilled to find the Best Cover EVER! And, Yes Virginia, that is a good example of being able to sing!
The intro riff is unmistakable.
That was an amazing job, considering the singer, played bass, sang Kim’s lyrics and Peter Fredette’s lyrics too. It was an amazing version of the song that I grew up with. 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. 🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻
Smokin'👌
Really can't be done Better Than That!!!👍🤘🤘🤘🖖🖖🖖
Kerns has been churning out performances for decades. The guy is underated.
Agreed!!
Damn fine work boys. Thank you for keeping this stuff alive as my generation becomes old and boring.
How in the actual heck can that audience not even so much as flinch during this absolutely epic performance of this song??
I'm so glad this song hasn't died or gotten totally lost in time!!! WOW! What a great cover!!!!
Absolutely classic, they nailed it so well there is a copyright claim on the video lol
@@couchpotatofilms7322 I certainly hope they don't take it down. Thanks for posting it.
@@couchpotatofilms7322 Well, covers are still subject to copyright.
@@couchpotatofilms7322 are any of the players in the video still in the group called 'toque'?
@@daktarioskarvannederhosen2568 they are but also do other things too
The crowd is literally dead lol. Amazing cover, WTH people?
How could u just sit so quiet? SMDH
@@donnatripp8413 - Could it be that they're playing in an Asian country? In their culture, they consider it disrespectful to raise hands, dance, etc. while someone else is performing.
Go watch the “Green Onions” jam....was this the same “hands under their butt” crowd?
This was not really a concert. It was more part of a presentation with a surprise mini concert but still... I agree there could have been more excitement 😆
@@heavymetalcruncher that could be!
I seen them about 20 years ago and they were completely awesome what a great live show they put on…👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
That was a fantastic cover .
🟥🟥🟥 Just found this live version. Best one yet. 👍👍👍 Im sure Ricky and Bubbles would agree
So would Julian and Mr. Lahey!
Killer cover.
Agreed!
I agree. 🙂
Nice clean , solid rendition!
*Kim Mitchell approves! 👍🍺*
OMG, Absolutely OUTSTANDING Gentlemen......!!! Well Done ~~ WELL DONE INDEED...............
Wow !! Just wow!! Awesome remake!! Thanks for that!!
One of my fave songs ever.
This band is performing a masterpiece exceptionally well and not one person in the audience gives a fuck. Well done my friends. If I had been there I would have been obnoxiously loud!
Nobody claps on the middle eight either
Spot on fabulous!
As a Canadian, you have my approval. Excellent job, eh.
Great Canadian band TOQUE 🇨🇦👏❤️ Brent Fitz is great drummer 🥁👌❤️
Great bunch of guys too!
Just 🤘 thats all.
Easy bass line and fun to play .
Rock on !
great cover of a great tune. This song means something to me. My dad drowned when I was 10 so the line no body drowns no body dies this whole tune jacks me up
Thank you for sharing.
Wow what an incredible job on a very difficult song with only three vocalists ALSO playing instruments, it sounds recorded it’s so clear and layered! Crowd was weak AF to not cheer more for that!
This was actually a drum clinic by Brent Fitz not a concert but yeah, the crowd could have had more energy lol. The sound was layered! We had live feeds from each instrument and mic recorded along with ambient mics. I think we had 14 channels of audio to work with!!!
Absolutely amazing cover!!! Vocally, Todd knocks it OUT OF THE PARK!!!! Serious talent here!!!
GAWDAM!!!!!!! WELL DONE!!!!!!!!!!!!
This song has always rocked my socks off. You guys took a layer of skin off with this stunning cover! Soda on me?
Man, I don't know how many times I've played this now, but I swear it gets better every time. That guitar tone, wow. They nailed it. Only 2 things I wish for on this take is if the ride cymble was a tad more up front, and to see Kim come strolling out onstage to join in.
Listen to it on big speakers... it's like you're there
Your basic square-peg- audience if there ever was one cuz they nailed that one l i v e
VERY good guys!
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!
Simply. Fooking. Amazing!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Agreed
Monster!
Superb! What a massive sound! Well done, gentlemen!
WOW!! One of my all time favourite songs and you guys did it proud!!
Best cover ever is and understatement. Are you sure it's not the original cause it the most spot on version.
Right! It even got a copyright claim on it as being Kim Mitchell's version lol
I have exact snare drum...the first year it came out.
These guys nailed this song! Great Job!
OUT-F**KIN-STANDING!!!!
🤘🏻🎶🎶🎶🎸🎸🎤🎤🥁🎶🎶🎶🎶🤘🏻
Damn, these guys are good.
Awesome cover!!
Hell yeah!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Nice one lads! Somebody knows how to sing! Loving the Teenage Head T-Shirt too.
dayum! that was tight. might as well go for a soda!
I think Ricky would be happy with this.
That was fantastic!
Outstanding cover!
Oh my goodness what an ass kicking version! Holy Sheeeet! This is on fire and these dudes are dialed in to 11!!!! You boys are seriously talented. This is In my daily rotation of tunes to motivate the dead! Much love to all
Great job!
Talented!
Awesome! This is how to cover a song!
These guys are damn good. If someone ×old write some songs for them they would be awesome.
They ARE awesome 👌
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!
Nailing the ever lovin shit outta those vocals!!
Awesome 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
Greatest version I've seen!
Ricky would definitely go rock some Toque! Most excellent!
KILLER MANILLER!!!😉
This song never gets old!
Wait... isn't the drummer normally the bass player for Toque?? Holy crap he's just killing it on the drums. 😮😯😲
This is an incredible cover. Just stellar musicianship all around. Vocals are spot on!!
They all have talent for sure and yes, Brent is now the bass player. Fun fact, he plays piano too!
Yes - that is Brent Fitz. He's a drummer, a bassist, keyboard player and ya, he can play some guitar too. Usually Bass in Toque you are correct.
What an amazing talent @@lcemusic
Omg!!!! This is absolutely amazing. Awesome job guys!!!!!
Pretty dam good man bravo
Nailed it!
phuking awesome!!
You ain't wrong about this cover! It IS the best one I've heard and with a 3 piece ensemble to boot. Well done Toque!!
I have a couple of questions; Who sedated the crowd? Or did they just drop off their enthusiasm at the entrance?
that's a pretty sweet sg
Nice!!
Hell yeah..the drummer is kikn it..
Literally...
"Toque - Go For A Soda - Kim Mitchell - Best Cover EVER" Yeah I 'd agree. and drummers who can sing are extra cool.
Holy %%£€$^ WOW!!!
Best cover ever...
What a performance WOW. Is this crowd watching a movie wth.
Crowd should be ashamed of themselves. Fantastic cover.
Even though the show rocked, this was a presentation not a concert so yeah, the crowd isn't very lively lol
This is so good! Dude in red rocked it with that killer tone.
This song is so clever and this cover is amazing.
Great job of both the band and whoever recorded the sound, it sounds SUPER!!!!!!!!!
Totally appreciate this comment!!! I recorded a total of 14 audio tracks and mixed to get this result
Brilliant guys.
Just heard this for the first time....O.M.G....the best I've ever heard by far...well done !.
Okay 30 sec into this video I had to stop and post this. Those harmonies are fkg through the roof. Holy sh*t.
absolutely killed it
I love these guys!!👍👍
Holy shit, this is great......😃
excellent!
Nailed it !!!
HOLY F#CK! What a great cover!
