Sure our friends to the north have given us William Shatner, Dan Akroyd, Jim Carey, Justin Bieber, Mike Myers, Professional Hockey, Molson Beers and more, but did you know the Barenaked Ladies hail from Canada?
While sitting in a Bob Dylan concert bored out of their minds, school friends Ed Robertson and Steven Paige started coming up with funny band names. They had already been playing pubs together as a duo, and at that moment the name Barenaked Ladies came up.
