Story behind the song
The chorus was written by Jerry and I a few years back when Jerry was asked to write a Nanaimoish song to help promote the summer games that were coming to town. Jerry wrote a different song but the chorus we wrote stuck with me. One day I was doing a gig for an event in town and the chorus came back to me again...

Harbour City Beat (The Nanaimo Song) by Brian Hazelbower and Jerry Paquette CHORUS Nun nun nun naaa na Nanaimo Nun nun nun naaa na Nanaimo Nun nun nun naaa na Nanaimo Nun nun nun naaa na Nanaimo That Harbour City beat, …It’s coming from the streets of Nanaimo Throw a tub into the water, put an engine on it Race around the Island ring a bell and say you won it in Nanaimo World Famous Nanaimo There’s a chocolate covered treat and a Harbour City Beat in Nanaimo Chorus Chorus There’s music in the Krallspace an dancin’ on the beach In every pub n park you’ll feel the Harbour City Beat in Nanaimo It’s alive in Nanaimo Ya the Harbour City Beat it’s comin’ from the streets of Nanaimo Chorus the Harbour City Beat it’s comin’ from the streets the Harbour City Beat ya it’s comin’ from the streets the Harbour City Beat, it’s comin’ from the streets of Nanaimo…..
