Instead of scrolling somewhere else this morning, I spent the morning being nostalgic and watching Doug and the Slugs videos, and now I have Day by Day stuck in my head.

Music from my childhood, makes me think of my mum and dad.

Thought I'd share here for fun!

"Too Bad" is my jam!

[–] bionicjoey@lemmy.ca 1 points 1 year ago

My dad was a Doug and the Slugs fanboy when he was young. I grew up listening to "Making it Work", "Too Bad", and "Day by Day" all the time.

So many great tunes by these guys. ✌🏻

I always got a laugh out of the "Making it work" video.

I remember Doug and The Slugs as a house band way back when I lived in Victoria. Great band! Chinatown Calculation an alltime fave! 'That's cool with no regrets!'.

Naked at work! Takes a little longer!

And now I have it in my head! :)

I remember my parents going to see Doug and the Slugs at LuLus in Kitchener, ON, and being pissed I couldn't go even though I was like 5.

RIP Doug, but the band is playing at the PNE this year.

[–] MightyMartianCA@lemmy.ca 1 points 1 year ago

I saw the regrouped band about six years ago. I miss Doug, but the new singer did a decent job.

[–] doctorplasmatron@lemmy.ca 0 points 1 year ago (1 children)

are they billing themselves just as "the slugs"?

[–] Greenfire@lemmy.ca 1 points 1 year ago

I don't think so, the whole reason I was being nostalgic about them the other day, was because I saw that they were playing this summer with Splodgenessabounds, who I was also feeling nostalgic about, and felt compelled to give them a listen. I am certain the billing said Doug and the Slugs, else I would not have gone looking for "the slugs"
