In June 1994, Randy Bachman attempted to set a world record for the most guitarists playing the same song at the same time.

The song, "Takin' Care of Business" was Bachman Turner Overdrive's biggest hit, and as of 2011 remained Sony Music's most licensed song.

Office Depot, on of the sponsors of this record attempt,  is just one of the firms that has licensed the song for its advertisements.

"Takin' Care of Business" remains one of Canada's most iconic rock songs, and businesses continue to license it for its underlying message;  just doing what it takes to get things done.

Randy Bachman continue to be a force in the music industry and hosts a weekly show, "Vinyl Tap" on CBC radio. Well worth a listen.
