This was the news today on morning radio. I found it pretty funny. The actual song is great and if you search youtube for "canadian idiot" a bunch of peeps made their own videos. Some are lame but some are ok. What I can't believe is that it is getting national coverage.

Don't wanna be a Canadian idiot
Don't wanna be some beer-swillin' hockey nut
And do I look like some frostbitten hosehead?
I never learned my alphabet from A to Zed
They all live on donuts and moose meat
And they leave the house without packing 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've got their national healthcare
Cheaper meds, low crime rates and clean air
Then again, well, they've 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
We'll figure out the temperature in Celsius
See the map, they're hovering 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 kinda freaks are that polite?
It's gotta mean they're all up to something
So quick, before they see it coming
Time for a pre-emptive strike

The whole thing is funny. Apparently, there are some people upset by this parody.... I don't understand why.

Hmmm... No mention of igloos? I'm disappointed.
In honour of this parody, I think I'm going to watch Canadian Bacon again.

This is brilliant and very cute. I don't think it is offensive (although I can't speak as I'm not 'Canadian'), I think it is cute and speaks volumes to the good nature of Canadians in comparison to the gun weilding Americans...

Otherwise, great song. Wierd Al is awesome.
