“Human Race” by Tom Cochrane

All I had to do was sing that one line to Hubby and he remembered the song. Thank you for all of you that put “Tubthumping” by Chumbawamba in my head, I have been singing that one most of the day. Which isn’t all bad, it helped keep me awake.

Yes, so Tom Cochrane, he is a Canadian who grew to fame with the band Red Rider back in the late 1970’s and early 1980’s. “Human Race” was actually released in 1983. Which is why I remembered it as an old song. I feel much older realizing how young I was when that song was playing on the radio.

Tom Cochrane was in Ottawa recently for a concert with another favorite artist of mine, John Mellencamp. Unfortunately Hubby and I missed that concert and are still upset about it as Tom Cochrane is actually touring with Red Rider again. Oh and how could I forget. Tom Cochrane is the one who wrote and originally sang “Life is a Highway” which is featured in the movie “Cars“.

Ok, so there is my trivia for today. I am wiped due to two kids who were awake most of the night last night and not at the same time. I will be officially introducing my Etsy shop tomorrow, Yay!

edited to add: I had a You Tube video up, but it totally messed up my page.  Not sure how to shrink those suckers down.
