Bert, I was so sure this thread was about me. I'm glad I was wrong.

Oddly enough, didn't the Barenaked Ladies actually cover a Bruce Cockburn song (not this one though)?

Well see heres, the thing, you haven't really specified what kind of rocket launcher your reffering to. Vechicle, Shoulder Mounted, Re-useable, disposable, Anti-Tank, Sam, RPG. Its all about the specifics man!

Great song, and I give Cockburn a ton of credit for writing and recording it. Good example of the kind of topical songwriting we could use a lot more of, to my way of thinking. Did it ever receive much airplay in the States when it first came out, does anyone know?

it got a LOT of play on college radio, and MTV used to have the clip in rotation.

as far as Mainstream play? no idea.

but I've always liked the song, and the title was the first thing to pop into my head when I saw Tom's "If I had a Million Dollars" thread :)
