We’ve mentioned CanCon, the requirement by the CRTC (Canada’s version of the FCC) that to prevent the encroaching Americanization of their culture, a certain percentage of radio and TV programming had to have content from Canadian sources. One of the biggest beneficiaries was the band Mashmakhan from suburban Montreal. They racked up a #1 in their home country with this creepy-sounding tune. The band took their name from a strain of hashish sold in their area. Oooookay.
