..that was theoretically responsible for administering the fatal dose of a 'Frisco speedball' (heroin and cocaine mixed) to John Belushi. After this song was written.

"Sundown, you'd better take care
If I find you've been drinking my Labatt's ale"
I imagine I was sitting out on a lawn chair at the time this came out, with my brother and father - who was more of a Labatt's than a Molson guy. I would have barely been in school, and somehow it stuck. But, ya gotta admit - it DOES sound like it.
