Kon Kan was a Canadian synthpop band which consisted of Barry Harris (vocals, keyboard, guitar) and Kevin Wynne (vocals) formed in the late 1980s in Toronto Ontario. Their debut album, Move To Move (1989), produced the single "I Beg Your Pardon (I Never Promised You A Rose Garden)", which sampled Lyn Anderson's1971 hit, "(I Never Promised You A) Rose Garden", Silver Convention's 1976 hit, "Get Up And Boogie (That's Right)", Spagna's 1987 hit, "Call Me" as well as the opening bars from the theme music from "The Magnificent Seven" (which was also well-known as the theme to a commercial for Marlboro cigarettes in the 1960s).
The band's name is a parody of the Canadian content regulation (often referred to as "Can Con"), which mandates that thirty percent of songs played on commercial radio stations in Canada must be Canadian in origin
