Flying Colors (Trooper album). Flying Colors is the sixth studio album by the Canadian rock band Trooper, released in 1979. The album contained the hits "3 Dressed Up as a Nine", "Good Clean Fun" and "Janine", the latter of which became the band's highest charting single in their career history. The album would reach double-platinum certification in Canada.
Flying Colours is one of Trooper's most disappointing albums, lacking any sign of effort or application toward the ten-song lineup. Only one song, "3 Dressed Up As a 9," carries any weight by way of a catchy chorus. Every tune here sounds overly sappy, causing one to snicker at the lack of sincerity on attempted love songs like "Back to You" and "Janine.
