Recorded in July of 1982, not long after the death of lead guitarist James Honeyman-Scott and the firing of bassist Pete Farndon, "Back On the Chain Gang" would become one of the Pretenders' most successful singles. The song was recorded by an interim line-up; Rockpile guitarist Billy Bremner and Big Country bassist Tony Butler joined Chrissie Hynde and Martin Chambers for the session.
The single was released in the Fall of 1982, and became a Top 5 hit in both the US and Canada, while charting at #17 at home in the UK.
The song was included on the band's next full album, Learning To Crawl, released early in 1984. Bremner and Butler played on a couple of other tracks, as well, but the bulk of the album was recorded by the band's new permanent line-up, which had Robbie McIntosh on guitar and Malcolm Foster on bass. The album went platinum and reached the Top 5 on Billboard.
Tabbed here is the Intro.

"In Context Of the Moon", the closing track on Max Webster's High Class In Borrowed Shoes (1977) album, was the second in a series of moon-themed songs, one of which appeared on each of the first four Max Webster studio albums. It was preceded by "Coming Off the Moon", from the band's 1976 self-titled debut album. "Beyond the Moon" was featured on 1978's Mutiny Up My Sleeve, while "Moon Voices" -- the last of the series -- appeared on the 1979 album A Million Vacations.


In 1998, The Tragically Hip immortalized the Ontario town of Bobcaygeon in song on their album Phantom Power. The album had other successful singles, most notably "Poets" (as well as "Something On", and "Fireworks"), but the tune about the town in cottage country seemed to strike a particularly special chord with Canadians. (There are over 30 cover versions of this song posted on YouTube.) "Bobcaygeon" charted at #2 on Canada's RPM Alternative Chart, and hit #14 on the RPM Singles listing. It also won the Juno Award for Single Of the Year in 2000. In all likelihood, tourist interest in the town probably took a steep upturn, too, after the success of the single. Anyone unfamiliar with the town can see where it is 
HAPPY CANADA DAY!
