Shadowy Men on a Shadowy Planet are a Juno Award-winning Canadian instrumental rock band, formed in 1984. They remain best known for the track "Having an Average Weekend", of which an alternate version was used as the theme to the Canadian sketch comedy TV show The Kids in the Hall.[1] Although commonly classified as a surf rock band[1] they rejected the label, going so far as to release a track called "We're Not a Fucking Surf Band",[2] although they also later released a compilation box set titled Oh, I Guess We Were a Fucking Surf Band After All.[3]
