The Canadian Blues: A.K.A My Penis Has Shrunk – video powered by Metacafe
What gives Canadians the blues?
Why, if you ask some holiday revelers at the Gladstone Hotel in Toronto, it would seem it’s the weather.
“It’s too warm, it’s too cold. My Penis has shrunk.”
We held a Holiday party at the Gladstone Hotel on Dec 18, 2006. The festivities included a blues verse-writing contest where guests were given a lesson on how to write the blues by PorkBelly frontman and award-winning author, Paul Quarrington, and then let loose to create.
This video shows an abridged version of the collaboratively written song and features Paul Quarrington, Rebecca Caldwell, with some killer solos by Paul Reddick of “Paul Reddick + The Sidemen” and Teddy Leonard, formerly of Fathead. Click on the image above to view the video.
For more info on the party and the instructions on how to write the 12 bar blues, check out the Strange Duck Media blog. That’s our fee for service arm.
