This is a pretty popular number it seems like, so here's the video front-and-centre (a more genteel version of the audio is available on the Music page)
Being a singer-songwriter is all about describing your own personal experience, putting it out there, and hoping others will see themselves in the songs. This one is a perfect example. Recorded live at the P'tit Canot tavern in Gatineau (with a few flashes of sexy male undergarments for the girls.)

The CD contains 12 original songs, most in an Americana or roots country vein, although there are a few crossover pop surprises and one French-language number. There's also a fun dance remix of the title tune. The sessions for this album have seen the cream of the Ottawa Valley's country and roots musicians populate its tracks. Steel player Al Bragg has played with Carol Baker, the Family Brown, Terry Carisse and South Mountain and he puts down some unbelievable tracks on David's album, while Ball and Chain's Michael Ball does a masterful job of accompanying him on the violin. Contemporary folk artist Christine Graves adds harmonies and various Ottawa Folklore Centre alumni colour the album with all manner of guitars: resonator (dobro), baritone, electric and acoustic. Each production choice of the artist and of co-producer René Gely (including string arrangements featuring classical musicians) seemed to raise the quality bar ever-higher.

"LOVE AIN'T FAIR" (Right-click and choose "Save Target as...")
Long before Elton John decided to do what's right and come out with his love for Leon Russell on their "The Union", album, DNO had recorded this unabashed tribute to the swamp-voiced master. It's a funky, slide-drenched Southern-style affair with plenty of Russell-inspired piano breaks.
