From the album "Popaganda" (1984). Video description by Simon Kendall of ‪@dougandtheslugsofficial‬. "In 1983, after 3 gold albums we were dropped by RCA and had to regroup. Once again we were truly independent and went back into Little Mountain Studios to record ‘Popaganda’. The first single was Day by Day, and on this video we went all in. Early band friend and supporter Michael Steele had spent several years working in the Canadian film industry and pulled some favours to get us an excellent pro crew. They shot in 35mm film, requiring serious lighting, cameras and expense. After the pseudo porn star and schlock tv shenanigans of Making it Work and Who Knows How, this story was our own fantasy about overcoming rejection and achieving independent success.
I robo-voiced a record company’s termination letter while Doug looked on poker-faced in his Harris Tweed overcoat. Tour manager Ken Brault played the (literal) heavy who serves us our eviction papers and all our office furniture gets repossessed. We shot the video at the wonderful Heritage Hall at 15th and Main in Vancouver, it was vacant at the time so we were able to get all those moody shots of the band scattered around the checkerboard floor. We dropped a derelict piano from the roof to narrowly miss Doug, sitting in the alley reading a self-help book on starting a record company, then we played a chorus on the fire escape. The story is pretty self explanatory, and suits the anthemic, uplifting nature of the lyric. This was no time to be goofing about as we had in all our previous videos. Although Ritdong Records was (and is) our own independent label, the shots of us loading a semi-trailer with boxes of vinyl stretch the truth somewhat. However, we did garner our 4th gold album with the fully independent ‘Popaganda’, so in that sense the Day by Day video is a true story."

I went to look at an apartment in Toronto in the early 90's, and the landlord's big selling point was "the bass player from Doug and the Slugs lives here!"

@Catjoe12 Год назад

It just kills me that these guys never hit any bigger than they did. Doug Bennett had an amazing voice and a wonderful sense of both the comedic and the dramatic in his songwriting and his video imaging. There was absolutely nothing missing. I just don't get it.

@johngulick5629 Год назад

But it's still getting plenty of play on the radio, must be something going right. GO DOUG and the slugs

@antonmoric1469 Год назад

Doug and the Slugs and Screaming Trees both. Really outstanding bands that were top notch but somehow didn't quite reach the top, as they deserved to.

@AngloSaxon-yx8tk 11 месяцев назад

I'm with you there, in fact this is one of my favorite songs from them and another one I also like is called "Partly from Pressure" from "The Wrap" album 1981, it hit the airwaves in early January 1982 but hardly lasted a week or two on the charts then you never heard it on the radio again I don't know how such a nice song could be just a flash in the pan, that I could never figure out....Oh Well, I guess it's too bad that I'm not as smart as I thought I was in the first place. lol

@punkrockgigs 11 месяцев назад

Can only wonder if they had used a different name for the band, it been a different story for them.

@mopground 11 месяцев назад

theres a recently released documentary called "doug and the slugs and me" free if youre canadian. But basically the 2 arguments are rca got too involved and changing the style of the band. But ultimately they didnt sell enough records in the usa and rca dropped them. But the band owed them 400k so they had to spend a year touring just to pay the debt

RIP Doug. Thank you so much. Ironically this song makes me feel alive. I have bipolar disorder and this song always helps me. Thank you sincerely!!! Thanks to the entire band. God bless

Uplifting Song by a very Talented Songwriter and Band Leader, Doug Bennett... Sadly, we LOST HIM years ago, but WHAT a LEGACY Of TUNEAGE! DOUG & THE SLUGS were Simply MAGICAL PERFORMERS and Loved to tour their native Canada, Coast to Coast with their High Energy Songs. R.I.P. Doug, you are GREATLY MISSED and rest knowing your Music inspires us on!

Such a great band form the 80’s. So sad to hear Doug could not find a kidney while waiting. I was lucky to receive one in 2010. Will always be thankful for the dear person whose life ended but helped me continue on. Very blessed.

@enzoiammatteo8537 4 месяца назад

I was in the hospital in 1984 and I was really down. This song helped me get better and it was better than medicine. The tune made me feel stronger. I n 2003 I met one of the members of Doug and the slugs. He was a director at SOCAN and I gave a presentation. He was video call. I never got a chance to thank him and the band for helping me make it “day by day” F’n eh tune! ❤

I discovered this song on the radio today. I 've been to Canada since 1997. I like that 80s tune.

@jamesharry8504 26 дней назад

I was 20 years in 1997. I remember canada was not the way it is now with high crime and high coast of living. I wish you could go back into a time machine so badly.

19 years ago today Doug left us. Thinking of you today Doug...nothing but happy memories...it's "too bad" you couldn't have stayed longer...you are very much missed. B

oh man i had a great day fishing today and on my ride home was listening to songs from the 80's-90's and this one came up and i loved it, strange how i never much paid attention to it before like many other past songs perhaps at the time did not mean much to me or i did not pay attention to the lyrics to find meaning in them as i do today, we had it good back then and funny i'm finding myself more emotional when watching movies too, perhaps it happens with age, im reminded of my highschool teacher who used to apologize for shedding tears when wed watch significant movies in class and shed explain how it gets to her in her age, now i understand and i like it :)

@dimehigh 10 месяцев назад

Yes my friend it’s an age thing, the more time that passes the softer a person gets. I do it myself

@ARCSTREAMS 10 месяцев назад

lol seems to be despite my usual rage at the world though but find myself more emotional when listening to the right song or watching the right movie not that i never had any less compassion but perhaps with more life exp one tends to find it closer to the heart and meaningful or could just be a chemistry change thing lol ahh the mysteries of life @@dimehigh

Canadian bands are so under rated, i'd listen to this before the british invasion so it was called.

Just watched the doc a few days ago. I was born in 79 but I remember hearing you guys on the radio a lot growing up. One time 10-15 years ago I was installing cable TV at an old guys house. I commented on his Bose 901s as my Dad had 501s (probably since before I was born) and he decided to cue up some music for me. It was this song! He cranked it up and although I got a chuckle from this old guy playing an awesome tune

As a person who has been force fed this and other songs by Doug and the Slugs over the radio for over 20+ years, .....please go away. Please go away Rolling Stones, Beatles, Heart, etc. That really bad horrible music by Corey Hart, Bruce Springsteen, Huey Lewis, April Wine, Rush, Dire Straits, Peter Gabriel, Neil Young, Tom Petty, Bob Dylan, Joni Mitchell, Doors, Jimmy Hendrix, John Cougar Mellon-camp, Aerosmith, Def Leopard, The Eagles, etc., .
