One of my favourite bands! Totally the background music of my youth and coming of age :) Picture it: darkened elementary school gymnasium.....boys by one wall, girls at the opposite.....staff and chaperones waiting by.....my Uncle Stan (who was only 16 himself) and his bandmates at another end of the gym covering this song! At my 7th grade (for 7th and 8th graders only....woooo!!) ......Moose Factory, Ontario!!
This was and Still is 1 of my Favorite Songs by Trooper ....Seen Trooper 5 times First Time at Barn 22 back in 1979 ... What A Great show and Performance .... These Guy's will always Rock ....Melville , Sask . Canada
You guys arrived in opportune places throughout for me to just go no way wow they are here no way so am I, Yay! I am so, so very grateful for then and now. THANK YOU!
also, there was a hit movie entitled “10” and no one doubted what that meant - it was starring Bo Derek (wife of John Derek who produced Shania Twain’s first videos) Dudley Moore and Julie Andrews. It also popularized cornrows for all races - very hip at the time to be, for example, a redhead or a blonde, and have your hair cornrowed and beaded. ha ha - what a time....
I only discovered this band a few days ago from a radio station survey website! I grew up 100 miles from Chicago and listened to Chicago radio rock station but I don't remember Trooper at all. Were they popular in the US or just in Canada?
They had a following in the states but were definitely bigger in Canada. We love our home grown rock up here (Trooper, Rush, Triumph, Saga, The Tragically Hip, Tom Cochrane, Bryan Adams and so on)
Canadian awesomeness! Too bad there are so many "3's dressed up as 9's". It reminds me of "it doesn't matter how good looking she is, there is some dude that is sick of her..." :P
I kind of disagree Brent. While Trooper are certainly iconic within Canada, they're practically unheard of outside of it where as Gordon and Joni are renowned internationally
Seriously dude? It used to be common to rate women's beauty on a scale of 1 - 10 with 1 being very unattractive to 10 being the most attractive. A 3 is someone who is not very attractive - but wears lots of makeup and revealing clothes to make them seem like they are better looking that they really are - which you don't find out until the morning after the one night stand - when you see the women in the stark light of day as opposed to a alcohol/drug induced club lighted daze... not pc anymore
And Justin Beiber will also be remembered for his best performances when the time is right, you dont get that popular by being a wanna be, at least not if you are Canadian....
TROOPER CAME FOR A FREE CONCERT IN MY HOME TOWN. THANKS ..YOUR THE BEST.
TROOPER! Canadian rock at its best!!
Canada Rocks🍁

I remember this guy who thought that the Deep Purple lyric "smoke on the water, fire in the sky" was "slow motion Walter, fire engine guy".

I kind of disagree Brent. While Trooper are certainly iconic within Canada, they're practically unheard of outside of it where as Gordon and Joni are renowned internationally

I Used Too Work With An 23 Year Old Girl Who Is Still Is Three Dressed Up As An Nine That Is How In mature She Was...
this is what I thought of my boyfriends when they fell out of favour with me!
And Justin Beiber will also be remembered for his best performances when the time is right, you dont get that popular by being a wanna be, at least not if you are Canadian....
TROOPER is real music ...not bieber and the rest of the disposable music dat is out there
SPOT-ON!!!!! Justin(e) B(l)ieber can suck his own fuckin' clock as far as I'm concerned.
I thought this was Chicago?
Krysten55 nope it's definitely Trooper
I've only heard this song a few times. That's why I got confused!
no problem!
