Sometimes When We Touch

"Sometimes When We Touch" is a 1977 ballad by Canadian pop rock artist Dan Hill, from his album Longer Fuse.

The song was Hill's first hit, peaking at #3 on the United States Billboard Hot 100 and #10 on the Adult Contemporary chart.

[11] After completing it, Hill sang the song for the woman, but his attempt was unsuccessful, as she had just recently decided to move to the United States with one of the other men she had been dating, an American football player who had just been dropped from the Toronto Argonauts, the CFL team.

"Sometimes When We Touch" was notably covered in 1985 as a duet by American country music artists Mark Gray and Tammy Wynette.

The song has been used in numerous films, television programs and commercials since its initial release.

In 1996, This Hour Has 22 Minutes ran a comedic sketch in which Canada was taken over by terrorists who in turn were promptly defeated when the Canadian Armed Forces deployed the song as their secret weapon.
