Bowser and Blue

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

George Bowser and Rick Blue, better known as Bowser and Blue, are a musical duo from Quebec, Canada who write and perform comedic songs. Their material ranges from absurdist humour ("I've Got a Great Big Dick", "Canadian Psychedelic Snowboarding Team", "I'm in Like with a Dyke Named Spike") to pointed political and cultural satire ("You Should Speak French", "Driving in Quebec", "Bouchard's Speech", "Clinton's Thing", "Rappin' Rambo").

Both longtime members of the music scene in Montreal, Bowser and Blue began working together as a duo in 1978. They still perform and travel extensively across Canada.
