Hooray for Canada?

So I was at the thrift store the other day, and I found this in a box of 45's.

It's "the Heart of Rock n' Roll" by Huey Lewis and the News on red vinyl. Well, what with my penchant for all things coloured vinyl, I of course decided to grab it.

I noticed on the label it said "Canadian Version", and I thought, "Hmm, what could that possibly mean?" I also saw that there was no "A" or "B" side, but "East Side" and "West Side" instead. Weird, but oh well.

So, I get home, throw on the "East Side" and the song plays as I remember it, until the very end. After where the lyrics usually end, Huey Yells out "Toronto! Montreal!" in a completely bizarre voice. In fact, it may not even be him, but some random dork who just happened to be mopping up the studio or something.

So of course I then flip over to the "West Side" to hear Huey (or whoever) yell "Vancouver!" Vancouver. That's it for the west side. Sure, Vancouver is the biggest city out west, but come on, the East Coast got two shout outs! Couldn't he have yelled out "Victoria!" or "Calgary!" or even "Winnipeg!" for God's sake?

I wonder whose idea this was anyway. Like when people in Canada heard it, we thought, "wow, our country rules, Huey totally shouted us out!" or if some numbnuts DJ accidentally played the wrong side of the record so people in Vancouver heard Huey yell "Toronto!" Montreal!" and got all pissed because they didn't get mentioned and they went to Huey's concert and threw stuff at him and cursed him out and he was all, "what the hell was that all about? I yelled Vancouver! Did some DJ play the wrong side of the record or something?".

That would've been awesome. But seriously, Canada doesn't really have THAT many major cities, why did they bother with the two coasts? Doesn't that just make us look bad? Like Vancouver is the ONLY city in Western Canada?

I'm sure most of Canada's big cities would have fit neatly on the one side of this 45, and the other side could've contained something useful, like a recipe for cookies, or perhaps Huey's theories on the Kennedy assassination, or maybe , oh I dunno, ANOTHER SONG?
