Happy Canada Day, and thanks for the flash-back!

Though I didn't receive one of these sets personally, I remember by brother coming home with one (or one showed up somehow) and I was jealous.

Yes! Amazingly, I was just thinking of that song a few weeks ago! I had no idea what is was called, or why I knew it. (Though it seems I would have been a bit young given the 1974-1975 time frame ... maybe I caught the tail end of the distribution or maybe it stuck around for a few years?) Thanks for the context and the blast from the past (this thing is probably still collecting dust in the basement of my father's house).

oh GEEZE, yes I know this. It was played very much in my quebec school - but in the Outaouais, that traitorous region... The teacher then played more Angèle Arsenault albums, and I requested one LP from my parents.

The lyrics are pretty trite, but it's for children and you have to start somewhere.

Somewhere, I wonder if my sister ever found the old OC Transpo board game...

Heeheehee, I was hoping this would bring back memories! :) Angèle Arsenault is a new name to me; I'd never heard of her until I went looking for this old song - Was she a popular children's singer in Quebec?
