Canadian Idiot

Sun Oct 22, 2006 5:41 am

Dude... Has anyone heard of 'Wierd Al' Yankovic? He is the best parody musician Ive ever heard! Here are the lyrics to 'Canadian Idiot', a parody on the song American Idiot by Greenday. It's REALLY hilarious if you're canadian like me!

But First, Listen to the song!!!




http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bvz3ILls ... ed&search=




Don't wanna be a Canadian idiot
Don't wanna be some beer swillin' hockey nut
And do I look like some frostbitten hose-head?
I never learned my alphabet from A to Zed

They all live on donuts and moose meat
And they leave the house without packin' heat
Never even bring their guns to the mall
And you know what else is too funny?
Their stupid Monopoly money
Can't take 'em seriously at all

Well maple syrup and snow's what they export
They treat curling just like it's a real sport
They think their silly accent is so cute
Can't understand a thing they're talkin' aboot

Sure they got their national health care
Cheaper meds, low crime rates and clean air
Then again well they got Celine Dion
Eat their weight in Kraft macaroni
And dream of drivin' a Zamboni
All over Saskatchewan

Don't wanna be a Canadian idiot
Won't figure out their temperature in Celsius
See the map, they're hoverin' right over us
Tell you the truth, it makes me kinda nervous

Always hear the same kind of story
Break their nose and they'll just say "sorry"
Tell me what kind of freaks are that polite?
It's gotta mean they're all up to somethin'
So quick, before they see it comin'
Time for a pre-emptive strike!

Finally a parody of a Green Day song, been waiting for that ever since........well forever. My mom used to live up by the border when she was young and worked at Target (way north Meeeneeesoda) and would have all the Canadians do their little accent when they checked out. I would've liked to see that.

Oh yeah! I love that song.

I'm going to be moving this to Abbey Road shortly. :)

I love Weird Al :lol:
All of his parodies are great. We even had a kid use part of his "White n' nerdy" in our school's gong show. It was great.

I just got this song on my iPod, listening to it right now in my newly fixed iTunes after trying to fix it for about 3 weeks, I ended up downgrading to 6.0.5 and it works perfectly. (See my story in Computing and Technology).

I have a ton of his songs on my iPod, White and Nerdy is really good too.

Canadians don't have accents compared to Americans. I doubt if an American came here, I'd notice an accent.

Canadians would have an accent in places such as England, Australia, etc... Not in the US, I mean, we pronounce (And spell) some words differently, but that's pretty much it.

That's true; Texans have accents according to us. But again, it depends on where you go.

Really depends on where you are from or who you are, most Canadians I know don't have accents, but apparently people I know who went up there said they do. Just like people say we Minnesotans have an accent, but we don't. I guess it is just a matter of how you hear or interpret it.

HEY NOW NONE OF THAT!! XD lol jokin...lol wow that's just hilarious!! xD I love it...
the most common minnesota accent is prouncing (sp?) th, t...like three=tree...or throttle=trottle...xD i don't have that accent, but about 89% of my family does...lol!
