"Hell if I know what they're singing about"

I was hosting a dinner party, with some old friends and some new friends. The new friends were mostly new to Canada -- from China, India...

In the background, a Tragically Hip record was playing. I started to take the piss out of the music. My friends asked what the song meant.

I remember the lyrics went: "tonight we take the bridge..." I sang along, and then laughed, adding: "this is a famous Canadian band and I don't know what the hell they're singing about."
