As you so astutely observed J-J "not a lot" but at:-

I read these (almost) linking sentences in a Canadian supergroup Bare Naked Ladies review:-

"The Canadians are an odd breed in how they choose favorites," Page said. "I thought we'd be, like, 49th. I was watching with my kids and I thought we had missed it. They played American Woman (by the Guess Who) and then Heart of Gold (by Neil Young). Then they played $1000000."

The ditty full of wordplay and cultural references also bested legendary tunes by Gordon Lightfoot, Joni Mitchell, Bruce Cockburn and Leonard Cohen. "The song has come to mean something special to a lot of people. It represents memories of good times, of trips abroad and of family. People come to feel it again," Page said."
and
"including the silly band name Page and Robertson came up with while sitting bored at a Bob Dylan concert.
"Early on Ed and I got a job opening for Corky and the Juice Pigs. They were like the Three Stooges meets the Ramones," Page said."
I always wanted to know how they got that name now we can blaim it on Joveski's favourite!!!
