Canadian Indie song about Parkdale, Toronto, Ontario. References "dollar stores" and "discount whores" in Parkdale. What is the song title, who is the artist and where can I find it?

I would've guessed "Parkdale" by Metric, but it doesn't have those lyrics in it. (There's a preview here.)

What does it sound like?

Here's another one that looked hopeful but didn't match the lyrics, "Parkdale" by Elizabeth Shepherd. Full song on Myspace, lyrics here.

Is it Parkdale by Run With The Kittens?

Yep, Fuzzy Monster found it. The "dollar stores/discount whores" line is in there, right at the end. Here's an MP3 of the song.

I thought it might be the Parkdale Hookers, but alas, no.

I've chanted along with this song at The Cameron House. "...in Parkdale..." "PARKDALE!" Run With The Kittens is a great live band, one of those bands that goes all-out for an audience of five or an audience of 500. If you like Ween, you'll like Run With The Kittens.

Nice thanks everyone. I'll look out for their live shows...."in PARKDALE"!

Ohbijou also has a song (To RIP on Righteous tides) that starts with "Today I daydreamed of being shot left to bleed at a Parkdale Dollarmart".
