Live performances

In 1995, The Tragically Hip performed the song on Saturday Night Live. The band also opened their Woodstock 1999 performance with this song.[2]

During live performances, Gord Downie frequently replaced the opening line, "He said I'm fabulously rich" with "He said I'm Tragically Hip", often to applause from the crowd.

Covers

In 2011, the song was covered by Selina Martin for the first Have Not Been the Same charity compilation.[3]

Singer-songwriter Justin Rutledge covered the song for his 2014 album Daredevil, an album consisting entirely of Tragically Hip covers.[4]

Following Downie's death in October 2017, country singer Dallas Smith performed the song during his concert at Kingston's K-Rock Centre on October 19.[5]

On October 11, 2018, six days before the one-year anniversary of Downie's death, Johnny Fay and Rob Baker joined Choir! Choir! Choir! at Yonge-Dundas Square for a live performance of the song.[6]

Charts
gollark: Yes, since if you try and talk about nuance or tradeoffs that's interpreted as "you do not agree and therefore must be part of the outgroup". Sometimes.
gollark: There are arguments both ways. On the one hand you're trying to make sure that the people you have match the population, but on the other you're going about hiring people based on factors other than how well they can do the job (though that was... probably going to happen anyway, considering), and people may worry that they got in only because of being some race/gender.
gollark: Also, more than that, political polarization generally.
gollark: Sadly, yes, first-past-the-post is awful that way.
gollark: Yes, I agree (except possibly not with the "you need to choose a side" bit); my point is that people often *do act as if* the other side is always wrong, regardless of whether they actually *are*.
