Doug And The Slugs namesake Doug Bennett and Norm Macdonald, star of The
Norm Show, have never shared a drink but they do share Canadian
citizenship, the same dry humour, and Bennett's 1980 hit, "Too Bad". The
song is the theme music to Macdonald's new ABC-TV sitcom.
"Norm's done some things in town here," says the Vancouver-based
Bennett. "I've never met him and now I call him Norm. Apparently, he's
seen the band over the last couple of years and really enjoyed it. When he
got the television show, his manager phoned up and said he'd like to use
the song, so we said 'Sure.' I wish I could say we'd partied and did rehab
together, but we haven't."
