I remember my friends would randomly sing this on Fridays in 2002. I never saw this video, only my friend’s rendition of it. Almost 20 years later and ‘Today is Friday, I hope you have your shoes on... Donkey sneakers! It’s Friday!’ will sometimes randomly play in my head on a Friday. Now I finally know where it’s from.🤣
I turned to my boyfriend and said “today is Friday” then in my head said “i hope you have your shoes on”. Haven’t heard this in ages. Thanks for uploading it
I was 8 years old when this bit first came out. I can't even begin to describe how much I hated it. I'd always change the channel whenever I even heard them talking about Nuclear Donkey. And then the next year my parents divorced. All around terrible era.
Yeah definitely. By 'so Canadian' I mean the aesthetic of how/where it's shot, the production, etc. Similar to the old Organized Rhyme stuff where you could see that and instantly know it was Canadian. Fuck yeah bud :)
This might be a stretch but if this was reworked into a jazz piece, I could see ‘donkey sneakers’ being retained as a nonsense lyric like w/the song ‘salt peanuts’. __ No country for old farriers ;| I remember how in another video Kelly appreciated watching some kids do a cover of this song for a school talent show or such.
My favorite memories as a kid was watching YTV during the Holiday months, especially October for Halloween.....The family channel was awesome for that too.
I'm in my early 30s and I now have a 1 year old son. I just told him how o ised to listen to this song as a kid and played this loud and he started dancing to it smiling and laughing...little things like this silly song as a kid is what made the 90s and early 2000s so amazing. Some things will never die like these good memories
Holy crap this is so cringeworthy 😆 I used to watch YTV all the time and remember the hosts who came afterwards Sugar and Carlos (who now works for Entertainment Tonight Canada) but damn this is hard to watch 😬
