At the Hundredth Meridian

"At the Hundredth Meridian" is a song by Canadian rock band The Tragically Hip. It was released in April 1993 as the fourth single from the band's 1992 album, Fully Completely. The song peaked at No. 18 on the Canadian RPM Singles chart. The song was also featured in the Due South episode "Heaven and Earth" in 1995.

When performing the song live, the band would often play it at a significantly faster tempo than on the album, and would use the instrumental break for a jam session lasting several minutes.
