O Canada
Today is Canada Day… and I am sick. So, combining laziness with my love for my country, here is great song about Canada by Andrew Osenga:
[youtube=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ck-vCjGFeLU]
You and I are falling in love
it’s the same old story
as everyone else
Oh Canada
is showing me how it’s done
My trains need to run on time
the Queen should be on my dime
I should speak French, the language of love
and still use English to get things done
I need to be more like Canada
We should play hockey, eh?
care about Dave Coulier
be my Alanis, say it’s ironic
when things go bad
I think i’m chronically
addicted to my Canada
you could be my Geddy Lee
I’m not a hoser, will you dance with me?
I’ll be your mountie, you’ll be my tuque
we can eat timbits until we both…
yaks are everywhere in Canada
Your eyes are the truest blue
entrancing like some strange brew
like the clear waters in the arms of
the snowy capped mountains of British Columbia
darling it’s you
you could be my Malibu
let’s get poutine for two
I’m in love with you, my Canada
No wonder you are sick, spending Canada Day not in Canada!
Hope you are better soon.
Great song. Also, he really is quite a talented guitar player.
Happy Victoria/Dominion/Canada Day!
I am not Canadian or Canadien, but about a fifth of my family is. I too celebrate with all ya’ll eh! About the song, it isn’t quite “Country Roads” to me, but it is way cool. I even understood most of the references in the song. I wasn’t born in Canada, but I arrived there as soon as I could. I like the land of Tim Hortons and butter tarts a lot!
