Geocache Description:

The Fourth in a series of Puzzle Caches celebrating Great Canadian Musicians

THE CACHE IS NOT AT THE POSTED COORDINATES

The story goes that the name The Barenaked ladies was thought up by co-founders Ed Robertson and Steven Page while they were bored during a Bob Dylan concert. It was initially used as a joke, but turned out to be a brilliant marketing ploy as the free publicity arising from Toronto councillor June Rowlands objecting to their name kick-started their career.

The boys from Scarborough relied on their improvising and impromptu banter on stage to appeal to the Canadian crowds, and created a sound and appeal that was distinctly Canadian. Their first record "The Yellow Tape" was originally created as a demo tape, but quickly became the first independent recording to go Platinum (100,000 copies) in Canada.

Watch the video found in the link below, and answer the question to find the coordinates of the cache.
