The Great White North is a Canadian comedy album by the fictional television characters Bob and Doug McKenzie(portrayed by actors Rick Moranis and Dave Thomas), released in 1981 by Anthem Records (ANR-1-1036) and distributed in the United States by Mercury Records (SRM-1-4034). The title is a popular nickname for Canada; the nickname was used for the title of a Second City Television (a.k.a. SCTV) sketch featuring the Bob and Doug characters. This album was released as a tie-in with SCTV at the height of the popularity of Bob and Doug, and a screenshot from the show was used on the album cover.
The song "Take Off" (identified on the album as "the hit single section"), features guest vocalist Geddy Lee of Rush. (Lee and Moranis had gone to grade school together.) It was a hit, peaking at number 16 on the Billboard 100 singles chart in March 1982, higher than any of Rush's songs ever charted on the U.S. top 40. (Rush's biggest hit on that chart, "New World Man," reached only number 21, and thus "Take Off" has been Lee's biggest hit.) The song also reached #14 on the Cash Boxchart and #5 on WLS-AM in Chicago.
