one very important thought
  • It would be wise to remember that the same people who would stop you from listening to Boards of Canada may be back next year to complain about a book or even a tv program. If you can be told what you can see or read then it follows that you can be told what to say or think. Defend your constitutionally protected rights, no one else will do it for you. sopastrike.com

Part of the nostalgic quality of Boards of Canada's music come from their extensive sampling of 70's and 80's era children television programs. One commonly sampled program is the US program Sesame Street, created by the Children's Television Workshop.

[edit] Confirmed samples

  • "Bye-bye-bye-bye" (Sunshine Recorder)
  • "I feel proud" speech" (Whitewater)
  • Reversed speech (Sixtyten)
  • "Different Mes": A boy explains how has many different mes for all his different emotions.
    • MP3 sample:


  • "Yeah, that's right" (Aquarius)
  • A drawing of a man is shown with a variety of different types of legs, which rotate like a slot machine. For each pair of legs, off-screen children voice their disapproval until the matching legs are finally shown.
