Dief Will Be the Chief Again
"Dief Will Be the Chief Again" was a 1975 song by the Canadian folk band Stringband. A "tongue in jowl" tribute to former Canadian Prime Minister John Diefenbaker, the song was briefly popular in Canada when it premiered. Diefenbaker, who was often nicknamed "The Chief", initially expressed his delight at the tribute, but later cooled to the song.
==Genesis==
In 1974, Stringband songwriter Bob Bossin was watching the Muhammad Ali–Joe Frazier title fight with Bob Rae, who would later become premier of Ontario. After Ali regained his title after a gap of many years by winning the bout, Rae commented that with Ali's victory, other events from the late Fifties and early Sixties could now recur: Floyd Patterson could now defeat Ali, Marilyn Bell could swim Lake Ontario again, and Diefenbaker could again be Prime Minister. Bossin was inspired to write the song.
According to Bossin in a CBC interview, the song, which he described as "very Canadian", is written from the viewpoint of someone with a complex character, and who mixes hope and nostalgia.〔 The song's lyrics look nostalgically back at 1957, when Diefenbaker became Prime Minister, but in the chorus states that when Diefenbaker is Chief again, a dollar will be "worth a dollar again", an apparent reference to the devaluation of the Canadian dollar which cost Diefenbaker's Progressive Conservatives dearly in the 1962 election.
