weird tune here. Thor is best know as the muscle bound metal guy from the great white north. This song from 1978 has a sorta lazy scuzzy Lou Reed NY early CBGB kinda sound. At least to my ears. I can just envision the mighty Thor in the studio cutting this track, shirt off, grabbing his pecks and writhing around in a dimly lit isolation booth crooning....
Sometimes i feel that i'm waaasted...
Fucking creepy... and what's with the bicycle bell...???
Oh yeah, and if you never seen it he is also star of one of the greatest B movies ever Rock 'N' Roll Nightmare and by great i mean so bad its good.... Just witness the final battle scene w/ SATAN!!! Did i say B-movie? more like C or D or Zzzzzz...

Thanks for finding this!
Having grown up in the 70's as a teen in Toronto Thor was a fairly big deal up here. A bit of a joke (like Kiss) but a big deal nonetheless. Here's a video of his hit song "Keep the Dogs Away"
this whole album is pretty damn incredible. he still plays shows to this day too!
I just downloaded the full album based on this one song. Too cool. Thank you!

Mighty High had the honor of opening for Thor at Maxwells in Hoboken, July 2005. It was a dream come true as a lifelong Thor fan and lover of the incredible R&R Nightmare.
