Stompin' Tom Goes Global (Well Not Really)

So I was watching a rerun of Never Mind The Buzzcocks - a UK music/comedy/'gameshow'. It has a section called The Intros Round, where 2 people on a team hum the introductions of songs and the 3rd has to guess what song it is. Bill Bailey's team was doing this to a Canadian comedian who didn't get any of them. The host, Mark LaMarr, started riding him about how easy they were. He replied - it probably didn't make it to Canada, all I know is Bud the Spud. He then had to explain that it was a song about potatoes and sing the first line. They didn't seem to understand the genius of the song.
