Story Behind the Song
This is a parody of the Molson's Beer "I am Canadian" ads... the Somalia reference isn't rascism, it's a reference to a horrific incident involving the Canadian Airborne division. It is, however, certainly in bad taste.
Lyrics
Hey uh, Im not a hacker, or a terrorist I dont like Celine Dionne or Shania Twain, but Im glad theyre getting rich. Although I do know Jimmy, Sally, and Suzy from Canada, but they arent as nice as youd think. I am ruled by a rich, white Prime Minister, not a rich white president. I dont know french, but I can converse fluently in American. And I pronounce it: "A boot" not "A big shoe". I can proudly sew my countrys flag on my backpack, because even though we are just as guilty as anyone else for the fate of the third world, everyone blames America. When Im at home, I realize I had better not protest deforestation or fascist dictators without risking a face full of pepper spray and a criminal record. I believe in peacekeeping, even if it means killing Somali teenagers for fun. I believe in turning back boatloads of Chinese Immigrants, a failing healthcare system, and late night cable porn disguised as art. And that the Beaver is a truly proud and beautiful part of a womans body. I believe the French should whine about everything, the english should appologize, and that it is pronounced zed, not zee because thats how the queen of England told us to pronounce it! Canada is the 2nd largest land mass in the world, the 2nd nation in hockey, and the best part of the northern third of North America! My name is Joe, and until we are annexed by the states I am Canadian!
