This album primarily revolves around the theme of moving forward, with a significant aspect of that journey being Doug's departure from Thunder Bay. Instead of creating a song solely focused on his time in Tbay, he aimed to compose something that could resonate both with the Canadian Shield and Thunder Bay, resulting in a humorous exploration of one of the quintessential Tbay experiences—a "shag." Love them or hate them we have all been to a shitty shag...now we have a song about it.
lyrics
Shag ticket you're waste
Between these plastic cups and the minnow race
It’s dumb and I need a drink in my face
Someone pass the ripple chips
Jello shooters, tickets flowing
And my wallet set on this price
Man I hate this shag
Jones and associates hat is all I’ll win
And I wanna go back to my place
Can you tell me if my ticket won
I am blinded by the overhead lights
And my pizza's cold anyway
Man I hate this shag
I’ve been dancing to Journey, Big mistake
And I wanna go back to my place.
Umm its the Nil, We had a chance to play with them when we were both starting off but we had another show...i think if we would have played that show we would be friends. The Canadian Shield
