"The List Of The Norwegian Dawn"

Lightning has struck twice for Gordon Lightfoot as yet another maritime mishap leads to songwriting gold. With chilling lyrics like the following, I expect Lightfoot to win multiple Juno awards for this effort:

The first floor called in, we’ve got water coming in
And our red Berber carpet’s a smartin’
The crew said not to dread, put the luggage on the bed
Go to Lido cause bingo’s a startin’

While it is true that every Canadian musician receives multiple Juno awards, to be fair, the category "Instrumental Album - Group - Kids Playing The Triangle" is pretty competitive.
